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.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a Christian Speaker of the House!

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 celebrates the election of Rep. Mike Johnson as the new Republican Speaker of the House. In his acceptance speech, Speaker Johnson stated his strong agreement with the founders where they wrote in the Deceleration of Independence that our freedoms come from God, not government. Since this speech the Speaker was interviewed by Sean Hannity at Fox News, where Hannnity asked Rep. Johnson about his political philosophy. “Go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview. That’s what I believe,” Johnson replied. This isn’t sitting well with the mainstream media or Democrats in Washington, D.C., who are caterwauling that the new Speaker wants to turn America into a Christian theocracy! Bauer reminds listeners that this is nonsense and that Speaker Johnson’s beliefs are solidly in alignment with the vast majority of the Founding Fathers, and even those of religious skeptic Benjamin Franklin, who said in a speech near the end of his life, “I have lived a long time, sir, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that ...

The Left is Lying to Americans About Abortion

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer calls out the neo-Marxist organization, Shout Your Abortion, who has recently purchased billboards along Interstate 55 that say, “God’s Plan Includes Abortion.” This freeway takes travelers through the heart of the Bible Belt and on into Illinois.

Remembering the 22nd Anniversary of 9-11: Reflections and Lessons for Today

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer reflects on his experience near the Pentagon on the morning of 9-11. Bauer was in his car stuck in one of Washington, D.C.'s legendary traffic jams, when his assistant called him. Something terrible was happening in New York City. Moments later, he heard the unmistakable whooshing sound of a low-flying jet plane, followed shortly by an explosion that rocked his vehicle. Bauer says there are important lessons to be learned by reflecting on the events of that terrible day. He believes America faces equally devastating circumstances now. But this time it is not from outside Islamist terrorists, but rather from forces within our own country that want to rip us, root and branch, from our rich Judeo-Christian heritage. Don't miss the message in this fascinating new podcast.

Coach Joe Kennedy’s SCOTUS Victory a Religious Liberty Win for All

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer reflects on the story of former Bremerton High School assistant coach Joe Kennedy whose name made national news in 2015 when he was fired for praying on the field after football games. Kennedy stood tall, fighting his way all the way to the Supreme Court. The court ruled that his religious freedoms had indeed been violated. The school district was forced to pay fines and backpay, and was required to rehire him for his former role. The big takeaway, says Bauer, is that one brave individual hero won back religious liberty for us all. For this, there is reason for every Christian in America to celebrate and understand that you have more power than you know.
