In late December, Governor Mike DeWine let down his state and outraged pro-family conservatives when he vetoed a law passed by the state legislature. That law intended to ban radical transgender surgeries on children, and it protected women's sports from biological males who illogically claimed they were women.

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer relives the lead up to and the catastrophic aftermath of the 25th NASA Space Shuttle flight of Challenger.

Davos Dangerous Nonsense

Religious liberty and strong families prosper in free nations. But many forces are at work to undermine liberty. Every year the global secular elites meet in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum (WEF), to map out the future of mankind. Most Americans are too busy to pay much attention to this confab of socialists, corporate titans, world government advocates, and tech mavens.

Run for the Hills, the ‘Christian Nationalists’ are Coming!

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 shares his skepticism concerning the constant barrage of bigoted alarmism flowing from the mainstream media about the dangerous march of “Christian Nationalists” in America. What concerns these alarmists the most are citizens who profess love for Jesus, love their country, and believe that Almighty God had His divine hand on the founding of the nation. According to the intelligentsia, folks who hold to this view are deluded and pose a clear and present danger to democracy, and thus must not be tolerated by civil society. Bauer says the real danger to our republic is screeching neo-Marxist totalitarians who defame followers of Christ.
