The international adversaries the United States faces haven't changed much since the Cold War. While the technology has evolved, the unconventional war tactics they use have remained largely the same. Now, as Russia threatens war beyond Ukraine, Iran and North Korea renew their threats; and as the Chinese regime threatens Taiwan, the United States is again faced with the possibility of war. Yet, all of these nations have employed methods of war by other means. And the question remains of how the United States should respond. Special training programs in the U.S. military practice to face these types of threats—and among them is the Navy's Fighter Weapons School, known as TOPGUN. To learn more, we speak with James Robb, former TOPGUN commander, retired Navy admiral, and president of the National Training and Simulation Association.   ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The Chinese regime has repurposed its COVID-19 app as a tool for social control. The regime recently used the app to prevent bank protests by turning the health code of protesters “red,” which mandates them to be sent into two weeks of confinement. Meanwhile, we've invited Tiffany Meier, host of China in Focus, to talk with us about China's growing control over U.S. agriculture and food supplies. And in other news, the Texas GOP has declared the presidency of Joe Biden as illegitimate, and has again launched a process to secede from the United States.

A phenomenon of strange deaths has fallen under the label of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). The real cause of the deaths is unknown, but is affecting young people primarily in their sleep. The Spectator reports, “They simply do not wake up after going to bed, or collapse during the day,” and claims cases have been increasing. Meanwhile, there are new phenomena of fatal conditions, including the brain disorder commonly known as Mad Cow Disease, a sudden increase in myocarditis and heart failure, and strange blood clots being found in cadavers.

As the oil crisis reaches a tipping point, the Biden administration is refusing to renew domestic oil production. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is claiming the responsibility falls on oil companies, and oil companies have pointed to Biden's policies and campaign promise to destroy the oil industry. Meanwhile, after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in the United States by 0.75 percent, global central banks have likewise begun raising interest rates. The Fed is also hinting at additional increases, and markets are bracing the impact. The moves are setting the stage for a global recession. In other news, the United Nations says the world is “marching toward starvation.” In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.   ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Schools are adopting programs tied to “Comprehensive Sex Ed” and others that are teaching a hyper-sexualized narrative on gender and personal relationships. Behind these programs is a system that is pulling children from the authority of their parents, and exposing them to direct lines of communication with adults on sexual platforms. Children who refuse the new sexual and political narratives face various forms of racial and sexual discrimination, and parents who refuse to acknowledge the sexual narratives can be accused of “spiritual abuse.” According to Brenda Lebsack, a teacher of 30 years and a former school board member for Orange Unified School District, these programs equate to the grooming of children and are part of a broader agenda.   ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The United States is expected to slip into a large-scale recession, as the Federal Reserve weighs raising interest rates by anywhere from a 50 to 100 point basis. This is being compared to the financial crisis of the 1970s, when then-Fed Chair Paul Volcker raised interest rates that sent the economy into a recession, in order to reduce the rising levels of inflation. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is proposing a new type of COVID-19 health pass, which can be used at airports and other locations. All they need is your blood.

The Jan. 6 Committee is preparing its public hearings, where it plans to present evidence on the protests at the U.S. Capitol. Yet The New York Times offered a different take, suggesting the hearings are less about justice and more about politics, with a focus on trying to shift votes for the midterm elections. It stated, “With their majority at stake, Democrats plan to use the six high-profile hearings to refocus voters' attention on Republicans' role in the attack.” Meanwhile, a criminal case has been reopened involving Clinton adviser Mark Middleton, who killed himself and who had admitted Jeffrey Epstein to the White House seven times. The family of Middleton is attempting to prevent information on his death from being released publicly, since they allege it can lead to conspiracy theories. And in other news, the world is heading into a food crisis, according to a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the United Nations World Food Programme. Part of this is causing a rise in food prices, especially of meat. But organizations including the World Economic Forum claim to have a solution to both food shortages and the environmental impact of meat: eating bugs.

Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith announced an investigation into what he described as “a child sex abuse ring that operated in Utah, Juab, and Sanpete counties between 1990 and 2010,” under which Utah County Attorney David Leavitt and his wife Chelom Leavitt had been previously accused. Leavitt denied the allegations, saying they were politically motivated, and said the accusations had been debunked over 10 years ago. Meanwhile, an official study on the NIH National Library of Medicine website says that a condition is causing more deaths in people with COVID-19 vaccines than without. Its autopsy study found there was a “significantly increased rate of generalized viral dissemination within organ systems in vaccinated cases versus nonvaccinated cases.” In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Ahead of the 2020 elections, which saw Joe Biden take the seat of president, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the election. This money went to organizations and individuals with clear political bias, and financed some of the key systems that are suspected of fraud. According to David Horowitz, bestselling author of “I Can't Breathe: How a Racial Hoax Is Killing America,” the money from Zuckerberg was illegal, yet the IRS appears uninterested in investigating this. We speak with Horowitz about this money, and his allegations that it constitutes a “fix” of the election system for the Democrats. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted by a jury on May 31. He was charged with lying to the FBI when claiming he didn't work for any specific client, as he was working for the Clinton campaign and was spreading false information of a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank. The decision, however, has shown a spotlight on conflicts of interest both with the judge and the jury in the trial. The judge had close personal ties to the case, and members of the jury included three people who donated to Clinton, and a woman whose daughter is on the same sports team as Sussmann's daughter. We also invite former FBI agent Marc Ruskin to comment on the case brought forward by Special Counsel John Durham and the acquittal decision. Ruskin is a former undercover agent, and is the author of “The Pretender: My Life Undercover for the FBI.” In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Senate Republicans recently voted down a bill intended to combat what Democrats say is a rise in domestic terrorism, noting the bill constituted the creation of “thought police” offices within federal agencies. On a deeper level, however, the arguments for the bill were based on a false pretense that a recent mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, was done by a “far-right extremist.” In reality, the shooter appeared to be a far-left National Bolshevist, as have others. We invite Trevor Loudon, host of Counterpunch and author of “Enemies Within,” to explain this. In other news, another mass shooting recently took place in Uvalde, Texas, where a man shot and killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school. The tragedy is being used politically by Democrats to advance an agenda against firearms, yet emerging information has undermined a central argument to the gun control narrative—that firearms are not needed for defense, when police provide this as a service—since police waited nearly an hour to stop the shooter, out of fear for their own safety.

Brandon Straka, founder of the WalkAway Campaign, plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct, and admitted to telling protestors to take a shield from police officers during the January 6, 2021, protests at the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC. Yet according to Straka, he was forced under pressure to confess to a crime he didn't commit, only to avoid facing charges with long prison terms that he felt would not be heard before a fair trail. He provides video evidence from January 6 supporting his claims. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

There are competing views on the dangers of monkeypox, and Dr. Robert Malone is calling out the Bill Gates-funded “Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance” for allegedly spreading misinformation on the virus. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) may soon be granted global powers over pandemic policy. We speak with Nick Corbishley, author of “Scanned: Why Vaccine Passports and Digital IDs Will Mean the End of Privacy and Personal Freedom,” on the WHO pandemic treaty, and what this means for the future of health policy, including lockdowns and vaccine mandates. And in other news, President Joe Biden and officials around him have been discussing the “transition” the United States is undergoing with fossil fuels, fertilizers, and even the economy. Yet what is the “transition?” Based on their statements, the nearing collapse is seen as a way to usher in a more “green” system.

There is a new global outbreak of monkeypox, and the Biden administration is already purchasing millions of doses of recently-approved vaccines as the World Health Organization (WHO) weighs its response. A series of incidents positioned the WHO to be poised for a monkeypox outbreak, and with new powers potentially being granted to the WHO to manage global health policy, this monkeypox crisis could give the U.N. agency a serious boost to its powers. Meanwhile, dozens of news outlets having been falsifying the narrative around Dinesh D'Souza's documentary "2000 Mules." These outlets have been declaring that officials with the Georgia State Elections Board debunked claims of election fraud made in “2000 Mules,” and yet while officials did challenge some fraud claims, those claims were unrelated to the documentary. And in other news, the Disinformation Governance Board has been put on pause, and its director Nina Jankowicz has resigned from the position. However, the board has not been disbanded, and the Department of Homeland Security is already running similar programs. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Large-scale operations are active in the United States to rig elections, and to dismantle the basic protections meant to prevent election fraud. These include the paid "mules" exposed by Dinesh D'Souza in his documentary "2000 Mules," but also include organized efforts from paid agents of political campaigns, to constant legal actions from alleged civil rights organizations. We sit down with Hans Von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, to learn more about the groups using legal power to dismantle America's election protections. Spakovsky states, "for the past several decades, there have literally been dozens of organizations formed on the left to engage in voter registration. But more importantly, to, for example, file lawsuits against states to get rid of every safety and security protocol put on." And to gain a deeper understanding of how common election fraud really is in the United States. Spakovsky said, "the whole picture is a clearly defined well financed effort to basically get rid of every safety and security protocol we have in place." ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The first trial from the investigations of special counsel John Durham has now begun, and the jury selection by an Obama-appointed judge allowed jurors who previously donated to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The case will be looking into how Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann and others were allegedly looking to create an “October surprise” by manipulating the FBI. In other news, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced that his deal to purchase Twitter may be off unless the social media company can prove that the number of fake users on the site are less than 5 percent, as its data has claimed. The move has placed Twitter in a difficult position, as information revealed about the platform amid Musk's bid to purchase it could expose the company to lawsuits from investors.

There is a national shortage of infant formula, following an alleged bacterial outbreak at an Abbott plant in Michigan that led to recalls for three major brands. Yet, government restrictions on the infant formula industry may have played a part in the current crisis, as regulations created a bottleneck. And as this takes place, the U.S. government is allegedly providing infant formula for facilities processing the mass migration into the United States. Meanwhile, the National Institutes of Health is acknowledging that secret payments received by its scientists, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and leadership do look like conflicts of interest. This comes as more evidence emerges on ties between the NIH and virus labs in China; and amid new reports detailing how the Chinese leadership planned to use biological weapons in a hypothetical third world war against the United States.

America is moving fast toward a stagflation economic crisis, where costs go up and the available money goes down. Yet, according to a former top economic adviser to President Donald Trump, this crisis is still avoidable. Stephen Moore is a former member of Trump's Economic Task Force and is an economic adviser. We spoke with him about the causes of America's economic downturn. Moore said, “We should be having a record high growth rate. And I believe we would if Trump were still president, but Biden came in and he just twisted all the dials in the wrong direction.” We talk to him about the current policies of the Biden administration, where these are leading the country, and what can be done for America to steer itself out of the looming crisis. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

A tactic of mass fraud was used in the 2020 presidential elections, where alleged paid couriers, called “mules,” were traveling to various nonprofit groups and ballot drop boxes across county lines to stuff illegal ballots. This is the conclusion of a new documentary, “2000 Mules,” from filmmaker and author Dinesh D'Souza, and supported by surveillance footage, massive amounts of data, and whistleblowers who agreed to go on camera. We speak with D'Souza about his findings, and what this means for the nation. “We're talking about very significant fraud and fraud that really would, … if you subtract the fraud from the Biden column, you begin to see Biden states moving into the Trump camp,” D'Souza said. However, was this enough fraud to change the outcome of the election? D'Souza states, “It was absolutely.” ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The Biden administration is creating a new board at the Department of Homeland Security focused on countering alleged misinformation and disinformation. The announcement was made by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas while testifying before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. The announcement has triggered debate around the nation on the constitutionality of the federal government's actions, as it appears to be trying to regulate speech. It has also sparked even deeper debate over the environment of online censorship. The latest move, however, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to federal government actions to monitor and counter information it deems false or harmful. Already, the Biden administration has been running programs countering information it deems “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and even “malinformation,” which it says is “malicious” truth.

Former President Barack Obama gave a speech with the Stanford Cyber Policy Center where he called for deeper government control over the Internet and over information, in a move he said is needed to protect “democracy.” Soon after, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also commented online that more needs to be done to regulate information in order for governments to fight alleged “disinformation.” Clinton also promoted the Digital Services Act package through the United Nations, which would create several EU regulations on the Internet, including a law to forbid alleged disinformation. Meanwhile, information companies often accused of having a left-wing bias took major hits. CNN+ closed after just 21 days, with a $300 million loss. Disney lost an estimated $35 million after a leaked video showed company heads discussing a sexual agenda for content. Netflix lost an estimated 35 percent of its shares, with a loss of around $400 million.

A case in Idaho around baby Cyrus being taken from his family by Child Protective Services (CPS) is bringing attention to the financial incentives and extralegal powers states have when taking children from their parents. We spoke with the family and a lawyer involved in the state's seizure of baby Cyrus and found that in such cases, parents lose basic legal protections including the right to a jury and the burden of proof, and that families are often placed under gag orders to prevent them from speaking. Diego Rodriguez, grandfather of Baby Cyrus, said, “This truly is state-subsidized child trafficking. There's no way to whitewash, this is exactly what it is.” We also discovered the financial incentive given to states in cases involving the taking of children. Rodriguez said, “In this case, the federal government is paying Idaho to steal, kidnap, abduct—whatever term you want to use—babies from people's families, innocent families.” And we discovered this is an issue that isn't limited to just Idaho.

A recent case in Idaho is raising alarms over the government's ability to take children from parents using what's being called “medical kidnapping” by Child Protective Services (CPS). State Rep. Tammy Nichols, a Republican, says that it contains possible legal issues since normal protections under the law are being reversed. Nichols said, “You know, that's what we are finding is that when these cases happen, the guilt rests upon the parents to be able to prove themselves innocent.” The topic is also gathering deeper controversy amid pushes for COVID-19 vaccine mandates on children.

To see the possible results of critical race theory (CRT) and the type of society it could create, we can look at the prison systems where many of CRT's ideas were formed. This is according to writer, filmmaker, and researcher Christopher Rufo, whose research into race politics within the prison system led him to research the origins and possible results of CRT as it spreads through American schools, corporate trainings, and government. He explains there is a parallel between CRT and prison gang ideologies, which emerged from black nationalist and Marxist-Leninist revolutionary movements in California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Rufo also details how CRT attempts to represent an anti-racist movement, but in reality, encourages hatred and racism. He explains “They're telling certain employees you can't mix with these employees during these diversity training programs because you are dangerous to each other. You should actually be in some ways hostile to one another.” And as CRT trainings are finding their way into schools, businesses, and government agencies, the discriminatory roots of the system may even be illegal under U.S. law. Rufo explains, “By delivering that message, a lot of attorneys that I've worked with believe that you're violating the First Amendment, which protects your right to conscience; the 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal treatment under the law; and also the Civil Rights Act.” ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Politics is downstream from culture, as the late Andrew Breitbart said, and popular entertainment can act as a window into tomorrow's politics. With this in mind, there's a new wave of moral entertainment—from family-friendly cartoons to clean comedy—that has been enabled by new entertainment platforms that are breaking the monopoly on video entertainment. We recently spoke with two leaders in this field. First was stand-up comedian Keith Stubbs, whose “Dry Bar Comedy” has revolutionized the comedy business with clean humor.

The best religion to have, if you want to influence a lot of people, is the religion that nobody realizes is a religion.” Communism is rooted in religious debates going back hundreds of years, and with these influences, the modern ideas of socialism and woke cancel culture are part of a state religion. According to Lucas Miles, a pastor and author of the book “The Christian Left: How Liberal Thought Has Hijacked the Church,” understanding the roots and beliefs of the socialist state-run cult is essential in understanding what's behind today's religious and political debates. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is warning about a new variant of COVID-19, the BA.2 variant, and suggested that lockdowns may again be back on the table. Fauci told CNN that the United States may need to “pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is.” Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning that if an end to the pandemic is declared, the agency would lose the additional powers it received under the public health emergency. This includes its current powers to tap financial reserves and to avoid normal requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. And in other news, there are contradicting rumors around the state of the Russia-Ukraine war, ranging from a ceasefire to an assassination order, to an alleged risk of a coup in Russia. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

“Sweden sent all their kids to school for two years; not one kid died. But it was irrelevant to Americans who, like sheep, ruined their child's lives. That is how bad totalitarianism is: people will sacrifice their children to the state. Child sacrifice did not end in ancient Canaan.” A type of extreme secularism has taken over in the United States and the world. It has taken over each person's natural search for meaning, and manipulated it toward political agendas. According to Dennis Prager, host of The Dennis Prager Show and co-founder of PragerU, this secularist extremism is behind policies that sacrifice the health and wellbeing of children at the altar of safety. It has also redefined morality in the name of politics, and is ruining science in the name of wokeism. We spoke to Prager at the 2022 NRB Convention about the need to bring the focus back to freedom. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The Florida legislature passed bill 1557, which news outlets have framed as the so-called “Don't Say Gay” bill, since it would restrict schools from discussing gender identity or preference with children from kindergarten through third grade. Yet, according to Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report, the “Don't Say Gay” label is a serious misrepresentation of the bill, which goes far beyond just the gender discussions, and is primarily about transparency and parental rights over children. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Russia is advancing a narrative that it is working to eliminate U.S. biolabs in Ukraine, and claimed it uncovered evidence of a U.S. bioweapon program during a special operation. China has likewise pushed the narrative. The United States and NATO partners are warning that Russia's claims could be laying the groundwork for a false flag attack, which Russia could blame on either Ukraine or the United States. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is also warning that the situation could escalate into a third world war, if NATO is drawn into the conflict. And Biden has drawn a line in the sand, saying that if Russia launches attacks on any NATO territory, the United States will retaliate with full force. Alongside this, Russia has stated that U.S. military supplies to Ukraine will be regarded as targets for attack.

Problems for the United States and the world are growing. COVID-19 became “political football” and was utilized by authoritarians for their own gain. Russia may expand its war with Ukraine, China may take the opportunity to invade Taiwan, America is facing skyrocketing oil costs, and the U.S.-led international order is being challenged by new systems both foreign and domestic. According to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, however, these growing challenges for the United States could also start political changes in America—especially in the coming 2022 midterm elections. We sat down with him at the 2022 NRB Convention to speak about the changes he sees coming.

An anti-communist movement is growing in Cuba, with large-scale grassroots protests calling for an end to the regime. Protesters are now on trial, but the spirit of the movement is growing despite the government response. According to Johnny Lopez de la Cruz, a retired colonel in the U.S. Army and a veteran of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the current protests in Cuba are an outpouring of discontent against the Communist Party that has existed from the beginning—a spirit for freedom that he witnessed personally when he and other men tried to end the Castro regime. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The Russian Federation attempted a rapid takeover of key locations in Ukraine, yet the advance was badly delayed and the strategy is now breaking at the seams. Russia now faces demoralized troops, deep sanctions, a narrative catastrophe, and growing unrest among its own population. And in other news, Russia is one of the world's top suppliers of fertilizers. It is now cutting off these supplies. This, combined with the fact that Russia and Ukraine are among the world's largest suppliers of grain, could lead to food shortages in some countries if concessions aren't made.

Cancel culture has attempted to silence people on topics of morality, family, gender, and politics. Religion has been pushed out of schools, entertainment, and politics; but it has been replaced by a new set of morals that are attempting to fill the vacated seats of religion. According to Dr. Robert Jeffress, a preacher, bestselling author, and television host, religious people have a moral obligation to speak openly about their values and not be silenced by threats—even in the face of persecution. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The Chinese Communist Party recently banned portrayals of effeminate men in popular entertainment, and is encouraging a stronger image for men. Yet for a regime that previously held violent campaigns to destroy tradition, and traditional social roles, why is it now changing this policy? According to John Mac Ghlionn, a psychosocial specialist and Epoch Times contributor, this reflects the regime's top priority of ensuring the survival of the Communist Party, yet how are portrayals of weak men a danger to social stability? And what does this tell us more broadly about the pillars of a healthy society? ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Russia has launched a full scale military invasion of Ukraine. The United States is sanctioning the two separatist regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as Russia for their actions. Meanwhile, the Chinese communist regime is threatening to forcefully take Taiwan, and has signed a “No Limits” pact with Russia that declared no areas of cooperation between the two countries will be off the table. Questions now rest on how the United States and other nations will respond. According to Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” the situation could easily spiral into a third world war, with the Chinese regime already projecting its military ambitions over Taiwan and beyond. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Major Hollywood films, including Star Wars and Ghostbusters, that attempted a shift into social justice and woke culture were rejected by audiences, including by long-term fans. Films that were expected to be major blockbuster hits turned out to be flops, and film studios took note. The studios are now abandoning overt social justice agendas to better reflect what audiences want. The late Andrew Breitbart once said that politics is downstream from culture. So does this shift in culture tell us something about possible changes in politics? Was the market rejection of these films really about their social justice themes? And can this change tell us something about the direction of the country? To answer some of these questions, we spoke with Bill Whittle, news commentator and host of The Bill Whittle Show. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER
