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.

President Joe Biden’s Breakneck and Divisive State of the Union

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer breaks down President Joe Biden’s bizarre and dystopian State of the Union address. Perhaps most concerning to Americans was what the President chose not to address in his speech, such as recent vicious attacks on religious liberty. Instead, Biden focused his firepower at the Supreme Court for their ruling on Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case. The court found that there was no right to abortion in the Constitution and sent the issue back to the states to decide. Biden then took aim at Republicans, accusing them of banning books. “Banning books is wrong,” he yelled! Of course, no one on the right is suggesting we ban books. Rather, parents are exercising their God-given authority to demand that their children not be intentionally exposed to sexually explicit materials at school. Banning books would require that they are not available for purchase. This is not happening, but the President does not care. Of course Biden was not through. Next, Biden screamed: “Pass the Equality Act!” Nice sounding name, but this so-called Equality Act seeks to abolish, by federal law, biological sex. God forbid this President is reelected and ...

Georgia Resident Laken Riley’s Murder Entirely Avoidable: Biden Administration’s Reckless Open-Border Polices to Blame

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 shocking murder of Athens, Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. Twenty-two-year-old Riley, who was jogging at the University of Georgia’s intramural fields, was allegedly brutally murdered by a 26-year-old Venezuelan, who was in the U.S. illegally and had been previously arrested and released in New York for attacking a child. This heinous act on this Christian young woman was entirely preventable. The blame for this tragedy falls at the feet of President Joe Biden and his reckless open-border policy.

Reflections From the 2024 National Religious Broadcasters Convention

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer shares highlights from the 2024 National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville. He speaks specifically about former President Donald Trump’s keynote speech, where he called out the Left’s war on Christians, through their attempts to rebrand Jesus-serving, America-loving Christians as “Christian Nationalists.” The term is intended to scare the general electorate into believing that all conservative voters are Nazis. It is also meant to intimidate believers from speaking out on issues such as abortion, gender ideology, and open borders. Those who heard Trump’s speech, which received virtually no coverage in the mainstream press, have called it the singularly most pro-Christian speech they had ever heard from a past or current President of the United States, or from anyone running for office. You will want to listen to this special podcast to hear the details. And when you do, share this podcast with your family and friends.

The War on Truth, Reality, and Common Sense

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer touches on the most egregious moral outrages from the past week. Leading the week in repugnancy is credited to Planned Parenthood with its release of a new “educational video” targeting children entitled “What is Virginity?” Right at the top, a teacher is seen telling her class that the word virginity “is a completely made-up concept,” intended to control and shame people for losing it. And the primary target is…You guessed it: Women! Bauer says the nausea-inducing muck gets worse from there, and sums up the film’s message to kids: Sex isn’t dangerous or shameful. Rather, it feels good, and it’s fun. Just do it! Next up is President Joe Biden’s wars and rumors thereof. With the globe at the tipping point of worldwide conflict, Biden’s Secretary of State, Antony Blinken found time to release a memo instructing the state department’s 77,000 employees on the proper use of pronouns. Bauer closes with a story from Massachusetts where three high school girl basketball players were so brutalized by a transgender player on the opposing team that they could not go on, forcing their coach to inform the referees that they ...

Powerful Forces ‘Transforming America’ Away From Its Founding Principals

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.

Remembering the Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster, Jan. 28, 1986

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.’”
