Terry Schilling Defines the Biggest Danger Facing American Culture

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer asks Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, about the many dangers facing America. "In today's society, we are our own gods. We have our own truths. We are our own ultimate authority," says Schilling. Not only is this self-absorbed narcissism infecting the culture at large, it has wormed its way into America's churches, added Schilling. So, what is the antidote for this disturbing trend?

Disturbing Polls Show Majority of American Christians are Ambivalent on Abortion

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer shares his deep concern over results from recent polls that show a majority of Christian Americans are ambivalent on the issue of abortion.

Washington Post Attacks the National Day of Prayer, Calling it ‘Infuriating!’

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer discusses the Washington Post's recent hit job on the National Day of Prayer. The author of the anti-faith diatribe audaciously stated that America was founded by people "fleeing religion" when, in fact, these individuals were seeking to practice their religion freely. If you're not stunned by this, Bauer points out that this false narrative—that America's founders wanted to establish a nation free from religion—is being taught as historical fact in our public schools.

Despite Poisonous Antisemitism Flowing from Campuses at America’s Finest Universities, There Are Young Patriots Willing To Stand for What Is Right

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer begins the podcast by addressing the antisemitic chaos on college campuses nationwide. We see an ancient hatred at America's finest institutions of higher learning. This is a dark evil that Christians must call out as sin, and reject whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head. Despite these college students shouting "death to Israel and death to America," not all is gloom and doom with America's youth. Bauer shares the story of 17-year-old Cameron Blasek, a Christ-follower who went toe-to-toe with his high school administrators who objected to Blasek flying the American flag from the bed of his truck in the school parking lot.

Grotesque Orgy of Antisemitism in America an Alarming First

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 discusses the alarming trend toward antisemitism in American cities and prestigious Ivy League schools with special guest and Middle East policy expert, Tom Rose. The two define these recent pro-Hamas, anti-Israel/anti-American protests as "a grotesque orgy of antisemitism," the likes of which have never been seen in America before. Rose, speaking from Israel, describes how recent statements from President Joe Biden, where he equated the fight against antisemitism with the war against Hamas, were received by Israelis. Rose says people in Israel found the President's remarks to be utterly dumbfounding and incredibly disappointing.

Iran’s First Direct Attack on Israel: An Alarming Development

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer discusses Iran's recent drone and missile attacks on Israel and the Biden administration's alarming response. Rather than supporting Israel in what should be a strategic military strike in retaliation for this unprecedented Iranian act of war, President Biden and his Department of State warned Israel that the U.S. would not support any Israeli military action against Iran.

In Grotesque Overstep, Biden Administration Erases the Risen Christ from Easter, Replacing It with ‘Trans Day of Visibility’

In this episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer discusses the Biden Administration's grotesque and purposeful attack on Easter and, by proxy, the tens of millions of Americans who annually mark this day to remember Christ's death and resurrection. In response, the outrage from Christian leaders and organizations was fast and furious. Bauer quotes Franklin Graham's post on X (formerly Twitter): "'Transgender Day of Visibility.' This once again shows how little respect President Biden and his administration have for God. On the most significant day of the Christian calendar, when the Church around the world celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ who died and shed His blood for the sins of mankind, the Biden administration uses this opportunity to flaunt sin, to glorify sin, and to celebrate sin," wrote Graham. As if this outrage wasn't enough, the Biden White House decided it was appropriate to ban religious messages at its annual Easter Egg Roll. Don't even think about decorating your Easter eggs with a cross, kiddies! Graham expressed his sincere concerns about this mess well. "The Bible says, '…they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them!'" (Isaiah 3:9). "Judgment is coming. Instead of celebrating sin, we need ...

In End Run Around U.S. Senate, Biden Administration Planning to Provide Unprecedented Power to World Health Organization

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer interviews special guest Frank Gaffney, Founder, and Executive Chairman of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D. C. The two discuss the Biden administration's plan to sidestep the U.S. Senate's authority to approve binding international treaties. According to Gaffney, the Biden administration and WHO plan to bypass this clear constitutional requirement by calling it an 'agreement.' This agreement, however, would provide unprecedented power to the World Health Organization (WHO) to dictate how the U.S. can respond to a global pandemic or virtually any healthcare concern the WHO deems is in the best interest of all nations. A vote of countries to ratify this international agreement is scheduled for late May in Geneva, Switzerland. If it were to pass, it would threaten U.S. sovereignty and America's ability to govern its affairs as a constitutional republic.

Sen. Chuck Schumer Delivers Shameful Anti-Israel Speech: President Biden Doubles Down

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer interviews special guest Tom Rose, who shares how the Israeli people are reacting to Sen. Chuck Schumer's recent anti-Israel speech. Rose says the vast majority of Israeli citizens were shocked to hear Sen. Schumer equate Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization, with the democratically elected leader of Israel. The Israeli people are left to believe the Democratic Party has chosen the side of Hamas over Israel. Worse still is that in a recent phone call between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden warned Netanyahu that there would be grave consequences should he send forces into Rafah to destroy Hamas. In a formal follow-up, Netanyahu said in a news release that the future of Israel rests with the sovereign state of Israel and its people alone.
