The American public and members of Congress were justifiably angry when major U.S. universities tolerated and, in some cases, promoted raw anti-Semitism after the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7. Likewise, there has been dismay that across the country, pro-Hamas and anti-Israel demonstrations have shut down airports, shopping malls, last Christmas' celebrations, and, at one point, caused an evacuation of staff at the White House.
In America, a nation built on religious liberty, should any of these things be required under our laws?
Once again, peaceful, pro-life activists are facing the possibility of a decade behind bars and crushing fines after being prosecuted by the Biden Justice Department.
In this week's episode, Gary Bauer exposes the dark forces that are actively tearing America away from its Judeo-Christian founding and transitioning it into an entirely secular nation under one-party neo-Marxist rule. He also sounds the alarm that many in mainline American churches believe this terrifying movement is none of our business and constitutionally proper. But not all is lost. Bauer speaks of a remnant that has only begun to fight. One of these brave Christians is Eric Metaxas, who has written a book on this subject titled Letter to the American Church. Bauer plays audio clips from a recent interview, where Metaxas explains why he wrote the book to address the cultural and policy battles facing Christians worldwide and specifically, the Church in the United States.

John and Marlene Strege (pronounced stre-gee) did more than become the first couple to adopt a frozen embryo and carry it through to the birth of their daughter, Hannah. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his enlightening discussion with John, Marlene, and Hannah about how they stood firmly on God’s biblical principles and fought for the rights of the unborn. Whether in the womb or as a frozen, fertilized egg, hear how Marlene testified boldly that embryos are human beings, and should not be treated as “spare parts” in an attempt to save another life. It is murder just like abortion.

Did you know that there are roughly 1.25 million frozen embryos, just waiting for a chance at life? On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer talks with John and Marlene Strege (pronounced stre-gee), about their story of being the first couple to “adopt” a frozen, fertilized egg and carry it through a successful pregnancy. The result of that endeavor was the birth of their daughter, Hannah, who is now a young adult with dreams of opening her own adoption counseling practice.
Common sense has prevailed in Ohio to the benefit of women and children! 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. Bauer plays audio from the moment of this tragic accident, where seven brave crew members perished. He also plays portions of the eloquent address to the nation by President Ronald Reagan. Here is the President’s moving, unforgettable closing paragraph to America 38 years ago: “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’”
