Gary Bauer Teases His Family Talk Interview with Kirk Cameron

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer chats with Kirk Cameron, American actor, evangelist, and television host. Kirk shares what challenged him to launch his child reading program in public libraries. He saw how libraries in large cities were not being utilized by locals because they had become overrun by crime, drugs, and homelessness. As Christians, Cameron says, we must take a stand for riotousness in the public square. “We need to bring the blessings of heaven to our cities…so that the goodness of God, not only in salvation but also in the positive influence Christianity, will have an impact on our society,” Cameron insisted.

The Abortion Narrative Is Wrong

After yet another disappointing result for pro-life candidates and ballot initiatives in the 2023 "off-year" elections, the media narrative on abortion is just as wrong today as it has always been. Now there is a rush by many in the professional political class to find "common ground" on abortion.

Did Hitler Win?

We at JDFI were deeply troubled by what we saw in New York City on Veterans Day, a day when we honor the men and women who have worn the uniform of the American armed forces. Thousands of marchers filled the streets of that city calling for a second Holocaust to "kill the Jews."

Islamofascists Defile Veterans Day in New York City with Antisemitic Chants and Abhorrent Behavior

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer calls out pro-Hamas marchers in New York City for their brazen hatred of Jews on Veterans Day. Thousands of these demonstrators were heard shouting slogans the infamous Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels would have thought useful in the 1930s. As if this wasn’t outrageous enough, these same miscreants scaled statues and tore down American flags, so they could be trampled underfoot. Then they replaced the downed American flags with the Palestinian flag. This will most certainly be a Veterans Day Manhattanites will remember, but for the most heinous reasons.

Save Our Daughters!

Someday, when the history books are written, there will be shock and dismay at how so many American elites put women and girls in danger. In the name of transgender rights, our daughters and sisters have lost their "safe places," their privacy and have been forced to compete against men in athletic competitions.

Speaker Mike Johnson & The Christian Roots of America

Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson (R-LA) and his Christian faith continue to come under heavy attack in the media from radical secularists and powerful left-wing special interest groups. To his credit, Speaker Johnson shows no sign of "hiding his light under a basket," choosing instead to educate his critics and teach a little American history while he is at it!

Defending Faith, Family, and Israel!

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer calls out pro-Hamas demonstrations that are occurring at universities and large cities worldwide for what they are, anti-Israel hate rallies. Most disturbing was the demonstration that happened over the weekend in Washington, D.C., where nearly 100,000 Islamist-supporting activists defaced statues of America’s historical heroes, surrounded the White House, and chanted, “Biden, Biden you can’t hide!” All while attempting to breach the perimeter fencing. Bauer issues a dark warning. These pro-Hamas antisemites don’t just hate Jews, they also hate America.

Antisemitism Is a Sin

It is profoundly disturbing to see an explosion of anti-Semitism right here in the United States, as well as around the world. I hope there is no need to remind us all that anti-Semitism and racism of any kind are indisputably sins.
