In the United States, the public's belief in the fairness and security of our elections has been rapidly declining. Nothing will undermine a constitutional Republic such as the United States more quickly than a conviction that our elections are "rigged."
As Christians, it is important to pray fervently for our beloved country and its citizens. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Kathy Branzell, president of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. She discusses the theme of this year’s National Day of Prayer event, which is based on 2 Samuel 22:29-31, and describes the intimacy of coming to the Lord with all of our needs.
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer begins the podcast by addressing the antisemitic chaos on college campuses nationwide. We see an ancient hatred at America's finest institutions of higher learning. This is a dark evil that Christians must call out as sin, and reject whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head. Despite these college students shouting "death to Israel and death to America," not all is gloom and doom with America's youth. Bauer shares the story of 17-year-old Cameron Blasek, a Christ-follower who went toe-to-toe with his high school administrators who objected to Blasek flying the American flag from the bed of his truck in the school parking lot.
MSNBC is so far left-wing that it is virtually impossible for anyone with an open mind to watch it. Nearly every commentator and "reporter" on the network has promoted an explicitly LGBTQ+ curriculum, even in elementary schools. They regularly attack conservative and Christian parents who want to protect their children from left-wing indoctrination.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) just issued new guidelines mandating that employers use so-called "preferred pronouns" and allow employees to use whatever bathroom they feel like based on their "gender identity."
American Jewish students must be wondering if some warped time machine has transported them from modern America back to pre-war Germany. In 1930's Germany, as Nazism began to infect the populace, Jews increasingly lived in fear. Even German universities became hotbeds of raw hatred against Jews, further proving that "education" is no antidote for evil—only good can overcome evil.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer and the Hon. Michele Bachmann conclude their discussion on the continued war in Israel. Now is the time for all Americans to stand united in prayer against the enemy who seeks to destroy the nation of Israel. Isaiah 12:2 says, “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord Himself, is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation.”
For many years, the nation of Israel has been embroiled in conflict, with the most recent event occurring with hundreds of drones and missiles being shot by Iranian forces into Israeli territory. On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-hosts Gary Bauer and the Hon. Michele Bachmann discuss the latest development in Israel, and what the future could hold. The Bible is clear, we are to stand in support of Jerusalem. Genesis 12:3 says, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” Let us join together in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem!
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer discusses the alarming trend toward antisemitism in American cities and prestigious Ivy League schools with special guest and Middle East policy expert, Tom Rose. The two define these recent pro-Hamas, anti-Israel/anti-American protests as "a grotesque orgy of antisemitism," the likes of which have never been seen in America before. Rose, speaking from Israel, describes how recent statements from President Joe Biden, where he equated the fight against antisemitism with the war against Hamas, were received by Israelis. Rose says people in Israel found the President's remarks to be utterly dumbfounding and incredibly disappointing.
Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, has found another profit center. Not content with making money only by destroying innocent life in the womb, the organization has aggressively expanded into the growing "gender transition" industry, which also threatens the well-being of children.
