It's LGBTQ+ pride month and the "celebration" has already resulted in major controversies in classrooms, on athletic playing fields and in major corporations. Sadly, many of these institutions are big businesses and they don't want to alienate the powerful "woke" left. It is heartening to see consumers pushing back at the increasingly aggressive LGBTQ+ agenda.
Late last night, news broke that was not entirely surprising, but it is completely disgusting. Donald Trump is now the first former president to be indicted on federal charges. Here are three observations about the indictment.

Gary Bauer summarizes two recent speeches by Franklin Graham. In these talks, Graham laid out a dark picture of today’s America, where sin is celebrated and virtue and valor are criminalized. Graham challenged his young audiences to reject the woke ideology of the left and instead focus on the truth of God’s Word, challenging listeners to be “beacons of light” by standing for righteousness and to work to redeem today’s confused culture from darkness and death. To hear more about Graham’s important message to America, we invite you to listen to this terrific podcast.
Indianapolis, Indiana, is now another battleground in the LGBTQ+ war on parents. Two groups, Indy Pride and Indiana Youth Group, have announced a Youth Carnival on June 7th for children only — no parents allowed.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer and his guest, Tom Rose, conclude their discussion on the imperative need to teach our children the biblical principles and values that our country was founded upon. Lest we forget that on this very day, in 1944, America and the allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy on what is known as D-Day, to preserve the freedom and liberty we all too often take for granted. We must never forget the brave and selfless soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting against an evil force who sought to conquer and control the world.
This Memorial Day, Americans once again remembered, recognized, praised and gave thanks to God for patriots who gave their all, even unto death, to preserve and protect our nation. Meanwhile, halfway around the globe, faceless bureaucrats and their enablers in our own government are moving forward on a plan that will end America's sovereign ability to govern ourselves.
You may have heard the saying, “knowledge is power.” To know our history, both good and bad, we need to have an understanding of the sacrifices and sufferings our ancestors endured, in order to truly appreciate the freedoms and privileges we have today. On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer and his guest, Tom Rose, discuss the vital importance of parents teaching their children about the values and history of America. Referencing Moses’ speech to the Israelites after escaping Egyptian captivity, Bauer and Rose stress, “We cannot be a good, free, or noble people if our children don’t know our story!”
