Grotesque Orgy of Antisemitism in America an Alarming First

April 25, 2024

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 Trans?

April 24, 2024

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.

Biden’s War on Women

April 23, 2024

The Biden administration hopes the abortion issue will lead to his re-election in November. Women voters may want to think twice, however. Late last Friday, the administration declared war on women by distorting and destroying Title IX, a landmark 1972 law that bans sex discrimination in any school that receives federal funding. Title IX guarantees equal treatment for women in every aspect of education from the classroom to sports. Feminists hailed its passage 52 years ago, but the law may have a fatal omission that the Biden administration just drove a truckload of "wokeness" through: It didn't define what a woman is.

Religious Left Smears Christian Conservatives

April 22, 2024

As we have repeatedly warned, there is a deliberate effort to intimidate, shame, smear, and even threaten conservative Christians out of the political and public policy arena. It is understandable that the radical, secular Left would want to do that. But it is outrageous that some so-called "progressive Christians" are lending their support to this effort.

Stand With Israel

April 19, 2024

We thank God that the April 13th missile and drone attack on Israel, by the Islamic Republic of Iran, failed. Many of the 300 missiles and drones were destroyed by Israel's Iron Dome defense system or by U.S. and Israeli jets. But the failure of the attack does not erase its significance. For the first time, Iran has launched an attack directly from its own territory on Israel, instead of using its proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.

Iran’s First Direct Attack on Israel: An Alarming Development

April 18, 2024

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer discusses Iran's recent drone and missile attacks on Israel and the Biden administration's alarming response. Rather than supporting Israel in what should be a strategic military strike in retaliation for this unprecedented Iranian act of war, President Biden and his Department of State warned Israel that the U.S. would not support any Israeli military action against Iran.

The Importance of Christian Citizenship – Part 2

April 16, 2024

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his critical discussion with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council about our responsibilities as Christian citizens. Tony passionately shares that even though we are seeing evil becoming more prevalent, we are also experiencing God’s light becoming brighter. “People are hungry for the truth!” Perkins challenges us by stating, “It is never too late to invest in that which will live on beyond you!” Are you doing your part? Matthew 16:26 says, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”

The Importance of Christian Citizenship – Part 1

April 15, 2024

Every generation seems to bring with it greater change and more division within our society. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. Tony shares that now is the time for Christians to stand firm in our faith as the enemy seeks to separate us from our source of strength, the Word of God. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
