Ep 576 | The Secret Deal that Made Biden President & Wrecked America | Guest: Victor Davis Hanson
03/03/2022 Duration: 49minToday we're talking to Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, who's going to help us break down the breakdown of the United States, as well as what's going on in Ukraine. Hanson pulls back the curtain on the theater being put on by the Biden administration, revealing the roles that people like Kamala Harris are expected to play. The Democrat Party is bracing for huge losses in the midterm elections, and the Faustian bargain they made with the far Left to get Joe Biden into power is falling apart as he abandons the things that were promised to leftist groups like Black Lives Matter. We also discuss the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and how conservatives should be looking at the situation. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (1:27) Reaction to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis telling kids they can take off their masks (9:45) Interview with Victor Davis Hanson (43:37) Putin has funneled money into US environmental causes!? --- Today's Sponsors: My Patriot Supply is America'

Ep 575 | Quick SOTU Reaction, Big-Picture Encouragement & Q&A
02/03/2022 Duration: 46minFirst, just to get it out of the way, we respond to the State of the Union and point out the Biden administration's actions have been much less uniting than the president's flowery speech tried to be. Then, we move on from news and politics to discuss some audience questions. We start by addressing the common fear of bringing a kid into a world so full of chaos and why you definitely should anyway. We also answer questions about what to do after college, how to use an ESV study Bible, and favorite snacks. --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold hedges against the US dollar by helping you invest in something with real value ... gold & silver!

Ep 574 | The Truth About Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill & Texas' 'Attack on Trans Kids'
01/03/2022 Duration: 59minToday we're debunking lies about Florida and Texas' supposedly "hateful" rules going into effect that the Left claims will hurt kids, but of course the opposite is true. In Texas, so-called "gender-affirming" care will now be seen as child abuse under the law, and in Florida, a new bill would limit schools' ability to force ideologically driven curriculum on teachers and kids. We go over why both of these things are good moves and why the Left's outcry is based mostly on ignorance. We also talk about whether or not pressuring young kids really is child abuse and the utter failure of doctors and politicians who are supposed to know better. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (5:39) Texas AG Paxton & Gov. Abbott reiterate that "gender-affirming" care constitutes child abuse (40:02) Should parents encouraging their kids in "gender-affirming" care/procedures have their children taken away by the state? What is best for the kids? (48:38) The truth about Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill --- Today's Sponsors:

Ep 573 | Fact vs. Fiction on Ukraine & Russia | Guest: Josh Hammer
28/02/2022 Duration: 01h21minToday we're talking more about the situation between Russia and Ukraine with Josh Hammer, opinion editor for Newsweek and host of "The Josh Hammer Show." Josh has been following the torrent of updates as closely as anyone, and together we try to figure out just what the heck is going on amid the misinformation that both sides are putting out. Turns out many of the viral videos and stories supposedly coming out of Ukraine are misleading at best and outright false at worst, and it's nearly impossible to verify much of the information we're seeing on sites like Twitter and TikTok. Then to close things out, we turn to a more theological note as we consider how Christians should react as times get tougher all over the world. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (13:12) Interview with Josh Hammer on what is true/false about Russia & Ukraine (1:08:06) Some encouragement --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers delivers steakhouse quality right to your doorstep, plus pre-trimmed & pre-marinated chicken breasts.

Ep 572 | Mike Rowe: These Are the 3 Steps to Loving Your Work
25/02/2022 Duration: 47minToday we're excited to be talking to actor, author, and podcast host Mike Rowe — that's right, the "Dirty Jobs" guy. We talk about success and fulfillment in today's world, where college is more expensive than ever (not to mention the leftist indoctrination). But, as Mike explains, college is really not the sure-fire path to a career that it once was. Mike offers what he thinks success means after his own wild ride through life and the mindset that young people should have as they prepare to join the workforce and build a career. --- Today's Sponsors: My Patriot Supply is emergency food for your family - they're America's largest preparedness company!

Ep 571 | Russia & Ukraine: What's REALLY Going On? | Guest: Jason Buttrill
24/02/2022 Duration: 01h03minToday we're talking with Jason Buttrill, head writer and chief researcher for the Glenn Beck Program, about the rapidly escalating situation in Ukraine. Jason is a former intelligence analyst for the Department of Defense and explains the geopolitical context and history surrounding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. How far back does this go? Is this primarily the United States' responsibility? What does Putin really want? We also discuss why the Biden administration is so interested in the situation and how all of this plays into what Western wealthy elites really want for the future of the world. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles is a Los Angeles-based capsule clothing company & they provide clothes that are effortless, easy, & flattering on any shape, size, age, or season.

Ep 570 | Secret Vaccine Data & More on CDC’s Speech Milestones
23/02/2022 Duration: 39minToday we're discussing some of the failures of the CDC, an organization that is supposed to be putting Americans' health at the forefront. The CDC recently relaxed its milestones for children's speech development, essentially admitting the damage that lockdowns, masks, and screens have done to our kids' learning ability. So, rather than let parents know that they should step up and make sure their kids are developmentally where they're meant to be, of course the progressives at the CDC just lowered the standards so no one feels left out. And calling this out is somehow "ableist" and "exclusionary"? Please. The CDC also appears to be withholding data on how the vaccines and boosters are affecting people, and even the New York Times is reporting on this. They say it's because the CDC is worried that people will misunderstand the data, but it seems more likely they're scared we'll understand it perfectly. --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold helps you convert an IRA or 401(k) into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.

Ep 569 | Kim & Kanye, 'Conscious Co-Parenting' & Disrupting God’s Order | Guest: Delano Squires
22/02/2022 Duration: 59minToday we're talking to Delano Squires, a BlazeTV contributor and contributor to "Fearless with Jason Whitlock." We're discussing several trending cultural stories and how they represent not only a society in moral decline, but also a society that is turning farther away from God. Following her split with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian has announced that she's chosen "herself" as her next partner, an excellent example of how we glorify self-centeredness. CNN's Van Jones told the world that he will be raising his kid as a "conscious co-parent," showing that people no longer understand the importance of the nuclear family. And, we couldn't talk about Clown World without bringing up Lia Thomas, who is blowing the competition out of the water all but literally. This probably has something to do with the fact that Lia is a grown man competing against women. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs sends their Genius Box to your young scientists - each month they'll receive a new box bursting with 3 hands-on activi

Ep 568 | The CDC's 'New' Speech Milestones & the Latest on Canada's Crackdown | Guest: Pastor Steve Richardson
21/02/2022 Duration: 01h02minToday we're hitting two topics: the CDC's new, lower expectations for child speech development, which totally have nothing to do with how harmful masks are for young kids, and the police crackdown on the Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa, Canada. The police and media are trying to keep the truth from surfacing, but it's clear that the police are being way too heavy-handed in their approach. Then, we talk to Canadian Pastor Steve Richardson, who attended the protests as a bystander but was beaten by police anyway just for being there. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (2:25) CDC quietly lowers their standards/milestones for speech development in 2 yr olds (19:57) Why we're talking about Canada so much right now (31:45) On-the-ground footage from the Ottawa protesters & police (39:35) Interview with Steve Richardson, pastor in Ontario, Canada --- Today's Sponsors: A'del Natural Cosmetics artisans make their cosmetics in small batches without the use of parabens, synthetic fragrances or preservatives

Ep 566 | The Data Is In: Mask & Vaccine Mandates Don't Work | Guest: Ian Miller
17/02/2022 Duration: 47minToday we’re talking about mask mandates and the hypocrisy of of government officials who don't follow their own rules. Despite the numerous studies that have come out stating that cloth mask are ineffective at slowing the spread of COVID, children and toddlers are falling victim to power-hungry politicians who demand that they wear masks in school. We talk to Ian Miller, author of "Unmasked: The Global Failure of COVID Mask Mandates," about how simple and easy it is to see through the lies we're being told, using good old-fashioned data. Dr. Fauci says follow the science … well, we are. --- Today's Sponsors: NetSuite is the #1 cloud financial system to power your growth: it lets you automate your processes & close your books in no time while staying well ahead of your competition.

Ep 565 | The Women Saving Women's Sports | Guest: Ainsley Erzen
16/02/2022 Duration: 43minToday we're talking about women, women's sports, and the men trying to take it over. Despite the obvious objective differences between men and women, there are still people who think it's totally okay for them to compete together — as if trans swimmer Lia Thomas isn't setting records left and right and absolutely wrecking his competition (actual women). Then, we talk to high school track champion Ainsley Erzen about going off to compete in college sports only to find that she will have to compete against men and about her recent op-ed in the Des Moines Register calling for women's sports to be preserved for women. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (1:58) Should swimmer Lia Thomas be allowed to compete against women?

Ep 564 | Trudeau Crushes Freedom Convoy with Martial Law | Guest: Ezra Levant
15/02/2022 Duration: 50minToday we're talking about Canada's Freedom Convoy & Justin Trudeau's abuses of power with Canadian journalist Ezra Levant, who has been closely following the situation since the beginning. In response to the entirely peaceful protests, Trudeau has enacted for himself wartime powers that have literally never been used before in Canada's history. He wants to wield this power like a bludgeon with alleged plans to seize the finances of regular people who supported the trucker convoy. Ezra has all the details for us, as well has his perspective on what's going on in his country and how Justin Trudeau is probably one of the worst people imaginable to be in charge of a country. --- Today's Sponsors: Marley Spoon & Martha Stewart have options for all tastes, diets, & lifestyles — ordering is easy & the fully flexible subscription lets you skip, pause, or cancel at any time.

Ep 563 | 'I Took the Vaccine For Her': Samuel & Annie’s Love Story
14/02/2022 Duration: 01h12minToday we're excited to be talking with Christian blogger Samuel Sey and his fiancée, Annie, who managed to find each other despite living in different countries, and the harsh restrictions Canada imposed on its people as a response to the pandemic. We'll discuss their story of overcoming both personal struggles and a near-tyrannical government over the past few years to make their relationship work. Then, we discuss the ongoing Freedom Convoy of truckers who are still camped out all around Ottawa, and Samuel gives his perspective as a regular Canadian on what the convoy means to him. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (2:44) Samuel & Annie's COVID love story (46:05) Updates on the Freedom Convoy in Canada --- Today's Sponsors: Masterworks is an alternative investment platform that lets you buy shares representing an investment in multi-million dollar paintings.

Ep 562 | Why Didn’t Trump Fire Dr. Fauci? | Guest: Dr. Scott Atlas
10/02/2022 Duration: 01h53sToday we're talking to Dr. Scott Atlas, a former White House advisor on COVID policy and author of the new book, "A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America." We discuss the disorganized mess that was the American response to COVID from Dr. Atlas' insider perspective and how bureaucracy and politics ended up winning out over science and common sense. Of course Dr. Fauci is largely responsible for this, but there is another figure, Dr. Deborah Birx, who doesn't get as much attention and yet was possibly more instrumental than Fauci in laying the groundwork for the government's insistence on lockdowns, masks, and vaccines. We also provide an update to the information in yesterday's episode about the Biden administration providing crack pipes to drug addicts; Snopes tried to "fact check" this story, but, as usual, they just wound up proving us right. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles is a helpful, inspiring resource to guide women in building c

Ep 561 | Free Crack Pipes & the Cruelty of Progressive Compassion
09/02/2022 Duration: 44minToday we're taking another field trip to "Clown World," where the alleged leaders of our country have decided that distributing "smoking kits" to drug addicts is a good use of taxpayer money. If there was any evidence whatsoever that this policy might help people, it might be worth considering. But this is not the case. We debunk the leftist myth that making drugs more accessible will somehow help people beat addiction, and then we discuss what's wrong with the kind of moral relativism that leads people to believe such nonsense. Marx may have said religion is the opiate of the masses, but we're pretty sure it's crack cocaine. --- Today's Sponsors: Cozy Earth sheets come in 4 awesome new colors & have a 100-night sleep trial.

Ep 560 | How Tim Keller & Russell Moore Became Mouthpieces for Masks & Vaccines | Guest: Megan Basham
08/02/2022 Duration: 01h15minToday we're talking with Megan Basham, a reporter for the Daily Wire who recently wrote an article exposing how Francis Collins and the NIH co-opted evangelical leaders like Tim Keller and Russell Moore, influencing them to support the establishment narrative on masks and the COVID vaccines. Interestingly, everything these people claimed was a "fringe conspiracy theory," like lab-leak theory or that masking isn't actually very effective at slowing the spread of COVID, turned out to be correct. So why were Francis Collins, the CDC, and others so adamant about their own unverified ideas and so dismissive of anything the Right had to say about having church in person or freedom to choose whether or not to be vaccinated? --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (8:56) Interview with Megan & how Francis Collins duped evangelical leaders to grift for him (54:40) Discussing the NYT op-ed by David Brooks about evangelicals --- Today's Sponsors: Z-Stack is a specially formulated immune-boosting supplement that includ

Ep 559 | An Atheist's Take on Christianity & The Power of Truth | Guest: James Lindsay
07/02/2022 Duration: 35minToday we're finishing our discussion with James Lindsay about history, Marxism, and theology. As James explains exactly what Marxism is and what its historical roots are, it becomes increasingly clear that this ideology is entirely antithetical to that of the Christian's. Apparently, the Marxists want redemption for mankind as well, but they believe that can only happen when literally everyone on Earth has complied with their worldview. We also discuss some Christian theology as well, and why it is has been such a good foundation for Western Civilization to thrive on. And although James isn't a Christian, he talks about why he still thinks Judeo-Christian values are the best for society. --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold are the best people to trust to help you diversify your 401(k) & IRAs into gold.

Ep 558 | Based Debate: Libertarian vs. Social Conservative | Guest: Brad Polumbo
03/02/2022 Duration: 52minToday we're talking to Brad Polumbo, a libertarian journalist who recently started the website BASEDPolitics, a news site dedicated to covering stories from a liberty-first mindset. Brad opposes "big government" conservatives, and despite the threat that the woke Left poses to our country, he warns against using state power for short-term wins against the Left. We discuss what the moral foundation of the Right is, or should be, and where we have very strong agreements on some issues of liberty. We also talk about some of our disagreements on when it's time to involve the government to solve problems. Lastly, we get into some of the moral background behind conservative and libertarian philosophies and where our theological and agnostic viewpoints converge and diverge. ---- Today's Sponsors: ExpressVPN helps you browse more anonymously: it's easy to use & works on all devices!

Ep 557 | Why I Changed My Mind About 'Redeeming Love'
02/02/2022 Duration: 43minToday we're discussing Francine Rivers' wildly popular book, "Redeeming Love," as there was a major movie adaptation of it released recently. Despite many women's fond memories of reading the book as teenagers, it really does a poor job of translating what the book of Hosea is trying to tell us. Ultimately, this book does more harm than good, as it ends up glorifying earthly struggles and relationships over living a life committed to the Lord. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles does the hunting for you & provide clothes that are effortless, easy, & flattering on any shape, size, age, or season!
