Here's a brief selection of headlines representing news stories that made the cut as Jim presented another edition of the News Round-Up. Numerous stories included audio as well. --After the U.S. strike on Iran earlier this week, Israel's Prime Minister and President Trump agreed to a rapid end to the war in Gaza and expansion of the Abraham Accords. --Mohammad Eslami, head of the Islamic Republic's Atomic Energy Organization told the state-run Mehr news agency that Tehran aims to avoid any disruption in its nuclear industry, although he didn't clarify whether that included military activities. --Following the Iranian parliament speaker's announcement regarding the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA and the acceleration of Iran's nuclear program, members of the parliament stood up and chanted, "Death to America. Death to Israel." --With his nuclear program in tatters, Iran's supreme leader declared victory over America on Thursday. --President Trump said on Wednesday he's fully prepared to authorize further strikes on Iran's nuclear program if the hard-line regime attempts to reconstitute its heavily damaged atomic infrastructure. He signaled that such an outcome is unlikely since America's air strikes knocked it out for years to come. --A top Iranian military commander who was declared dead by the New York Times during the 12 day war with Israel is apparently still alive. --President Trump said he would likely seek a commitment from Iran to end its nuclear ambitions at talks next week. --Senators remain divided about the success of the American military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Mat Staver is founder & chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom and Freedom's Call and the TV broadcast Freedom Alive. Genesis 1:27 clearly shows that God created us male and female while Genesis 2:24 shows that He had a special plan for men and women called marriage. Jesus affirmed this as we see in Matthew 19:4-6. However, a decade ago, 5 black-robed individuals believed they knew better than God and created a constitutional right to so-called same-sex marriage. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges court decision. Former Rowan County, Kentucky, County Clerk Kim Davis is "Exhibit A" in all of this and has been since she refused to grant a marriage license to a same-sex couple. If Obergefell is overturned, what will become of current same-sex marriages? Review this broadcast as Jim has Mat go through the decision's historic timeline. Part of that involves seeing how the whole transgender and DEI phenomenon we're experiencing flows out from Obergefell. Mat delivered the updates to this critical case and listeners presented their input as well.

Abortion in Our Water

John Stemberger is president of Liberty Counsel Action & Senior Counsel of Liberty Counsel. He's been a conservative policy advocate for over 30 years. Abigail Forman is public policy analyst and a writer for Liberty Counsel Action. She is a former Minnesota state legislator and former Director of Public Policy for Right to Life UK. She is primary author of a groundbreaking, academic white paper exposing the horror of aborted babies from chemical abortions being flushed into our water system. For multiple decades, regardless of the administration in Washington, we've heard the mantra about clean air and water. As a result, environmental policies are set. In light of that, Jim noted a new report that has recently been issued titled: Abortion in our Water: Chemical Home Abortions and the Disposition of Aborted Fetal Remains. It notes that under the Trump administration, having the cleanest air and water in the world for generations is a priority. However, on a daily basis, our waterways are being contaminated by chemical abortion drugs and human remains. This is due to the fact that American women are often left alone at home to endure the agonizing process of expelling their pregnancy as they're often instructed by abortion providers to dispose of the remains of their aborted babies by flushing them down the toilet. This edition of Crosstalk covers much ground as it begins by looking at the back-story of this topic which takes us back to the year 2000 when chemical abortions were first approved by the FDA. At that time, such abortions were small in number. Today, they represent somewhere between 64% to 70% of all abortions.

Dr. Richard Schmidt is the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, "Prophecy Focus" and the radio broadcast, "Prophecy Unfolding." He spent 32 years in law enforcement until his retirement. He has authored several books including: Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel's Gap Paul's Mystery, Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse, Globalism: The Great World Consumption and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism & the De-Evolution of Democracy. Newsmax reported yesterday that President Trump abruptly left the G7 meeting in Canada last week due to Iran telling the U.S. that it was going to activate its terrorist proxies on U.S. soil. Then on Saturday evening the U.S. military, in stealth fashion, flew B-2 bombers in order to strike 3 Iranian nuclear facilities. President Trump followed up by communicating that Iran should surrender unconditionally. In response, Iran not only fired upon Israel but also upon U.S. interests in Qatar. Afterward, a cease-fire was announced, only to have Israel and Iran fire upon each other again. Back on the homefront, there was a vote in Congress to take up articles of impeachment against President Trump. A strong bipartisan effort to table these articles was held this morning. 128 Democrats joined Republicans to kill the effort. So, as our title asks, is the cease-fire on or off? Are the Iranian sleeper cells we've been hearing about a real threat? Will Iran close off the Strait of Hormuz? Was Iran able to successfully have at least some of the enriched uranium removed prior to the U.S. bunker-buster bomb attack?

Usama Dakdok is the Founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast Revealing the Truth About Islam. It has become a common thing for Israelis to be woken by sirens. This morning was no exception. But this time there is shock as they learned that one of the country's major hospitals was hit by a missile from Iran. Additional sites were hit in Tel Aviv. We understand it was the hospital's old surgical building that suffered damage. CBN reported that one of the doctors indicated just yesterday that they had evacuated the old surgical building that took a direct hit. He said, "It's a great miracle." Israel's Prime Minister is vowing that the dictators in Tehran will pay "the full price." Tehran is calling for an Islamic Army to wage war on Israel. The Council on American Islamic Relations is demanding that President Trump halt U.S. weapons transfers to Israel. CAIR-NJ is condemning Israel for what they call "an unprovoked attack on Iran." The Al-Qaeda leader is calling upon Muslims to assassinate President Trump and other high-ranking officials. Earlier this month a Muslim in Boulder, CO was suspected of firebombing a group of pro-Israel protestors leaving 15 injured. He is an Egyptian national. And as reported recently on JihadWatch.org, The Council on American-Islamic Relations Director Nihad Awad is hosting training sessions to help citizens spot ICE agents and alert mobs to target them. One anti-ICE protestor is calling out "Allahu-akbar." Pew Research reported earlier this month that on a global basis, Islam is growing faster than all other religions. What's going on? Haven't we been forewarned this would happen?

Chris Katulka is vice president of North American Ministries at The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry and host of The Friends of Israel Today radio program. He is a Bible teacher, and writer for Israel My Glory magazine and is author of the book, Israel Always. Today marks the 6th day of Israel's Operation Rising Lion, an act of self-defense against the oppressive Iranian regime that for years has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, said, "Israel felt it needed to act in defense of their nation and that's what they did." Israel National News reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a public statement that Israel is working to eliminate 2 major threats: the nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat. President Trump has called upon Iran to unconditionally surrender. It's being reported that he's been getting mixed guidance from his advisers on whether to join in on the targeting of nuclear facilities or not. Chris believes the current response by Israel is something that was planned going all the way back to the Obama administration, which shows that Israel has been very patient with Iran. However, while what's currently taking place in real-time between all the parties involved may make for "must see TV," Chris brings even more. He brings a prophetic view from Scripture, the kind of view you'll only get by listening to Crosstalk.

The news cycle of just the past several days dramatically shows how the world is in turmoil. For example: Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion last week, destroying top Iranian military leaders and nuclear facilities. Iran's retaliatory strikes targeting Israel have left at least 24 dead. Also, the IDF announced today that one-third of Iran's missile launchers have been destroyed. With Israel claiming air superiority over Tehran, Iran is reportedly sending urgent signals to Israel, U.S./Arab allies and European officials that it wants a cease-fire and a return to diplomacy. The Iranian foreign minister suggested that one phone call from President Trump could pave the way for a return to diplomacy. Bret Baier of Fox News interviews Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Laura Ingraham interviews Fox News chief foreign correspondent who described what Iran's latest retaliatory strike had done to Israel.

As Jim began this broadcast, he noted how fatherhood is under attack. We've seen this over and over as many sitcoms make fathers the brunt of jokes or make them look like buffoons. He went on to describe articles that question the necessity of fathers, going so far as to claim that the outcomes for children of lesbian couples are no worse, and in some cases even better, than for children of heterosexual couples. One can only wonder what they mean by "successful outcomes" and what their foundation is for obtaining them. Yes, the world can and often does engage in cosplay as they act out alternatives to biblical fatherhood. However, as Jim shows from numerous places in the Bible, fathers can be a great blessing to their children when they avoid worldly alternatives and instead follow the guidelines put forth by our loving Creator. So don't miss this annual tribute to fathers as listeners were asked to answer the following questions: What spiritual impact has your father made on your life? Is there a life principle that he taught you? How has your father modeled Christ to you?

Peter LaBarbera is the founder and president of Center for Morality and Americans for Truth. He's a former reporter for the Washington Times, LifeSiteNews.com, WND.com and a former contributing editor for Human Events. Interestingly, some are turning away from the moniker of June as "Pride Month" and instead, some are pushing "Fidelity Month," "Life Month," as well as "Family Month." Peter believes this is happening because the homosexual activist movement won numerous victories, including imposing so-called, same-sex marriage on America. Then they went "full-bore" on the trans issue. This invited considerable push-back, including from the feminists who didn't want men invading female spaces such as sports. Then there was the gender reassignment surgeries for children. The result is that they've reached so far that they've hit a breaking point as all of this is turning a lot of people off. Nonetheless, the homosexual activist movement continues to make headlines in various ways. For example: A Navy ship named after a gay rights icon is to be renamed. A girls high school softball team wins a championship via the arm of a male born pitcher. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) doubles down on their pro LGBTQ stance.

In today's America there are those who claim that, under the guise of "protecting" children, they should be gender transitioned. Some are so adamant about this that they believe it should be done away from the attention of parents, parents who refuse to be affirming of a gender identity that doesn't match the child's biological sex. Returning to Crosstalk to put the spotlight on this issue was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. According to Alex, children all over America are being given what's called, "Gender Affirming Care."

Planned Parenthood took in over 792 million dollars in taxpayer funds through reimbursements and grants. How many of these children would have been part of our lives in some way as co-workers, classmates or family members? It's because of Planned Parenthood's efforts, fueled by the 2 million in daily taxpayer funding they've received, that these individuals were never able to be part of our world. Kelsey warns women not to be fooled by the marketing efforts of Planned Parenthood because behind the attempts to look like a friend of women, their primary focus is to take the lives of the most vulnerable among us. Interestingly, both NPR and the New York Times have recognized the harm that Planned Parenthood can do. Kelsey cited a New York Times report that came out in February detailing the atrocious conditions and experiences that women have had. This is just some of the information you'll hear discussed during the first quarter hour of this broadcast. Listen to the rest of the program and you'll want to express your views to your members of Congress (number below) so that your voice is heard concerning future taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.

Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics

There is a growing clash in our society today between biblical Christianity and secular culture. These worldviews stand in opposition to one another. Many in our secular world system will be very vocal and forceful in their views. As such, many believers will step back and not want to make waves or do not respond due to a lack of confidence that they can provide a solid defense of the faith. And yet we read in Scripture as found in I Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." Perhaps you already know you need help in this area. If so, we have some good news as a powerful tool has recently been published to equip you in defending the faith. Joining Crosstalk to tell us about this new tool was Sarah Enterline. Sarah is an author, apologist, pastor's wife, mother, teacher and women's ministry leader. She has taught apologetics, biblical studies, philosophy, and history at both the secondary and college levels. Apologetics comes from the Greek word: apologia. Sarah said it's like a defense lawyer in an ancient courtroom presenting a defense, showing that their arguments are true. It can be applied to any discipline and in the case of biblical apologetics, it involves presenting a robust case, building evidence to show why the Bible and biblical Christianity are part of the one true faith. What are some of the obstacles that may cause Christians to not defend their faith? What are the 5 ways to show that God exists? What evidence exists of things and people mentioned in the Bible?

Many believers in the United States are totally oblivious to religious persecution taking place around the world and really have little concept as to what is taking place. Most believers in the U.S. will get up in the morning, go through their daily activities: work, meals, appointments, leisure and go to bed at night without even a hint of a thought to believers in Christ that are being persecuted. Did you know religious persecution has been escalating in countries around the world? As a matter of fact, many are paying with their very lives on account of their faith. Executions alone in 2024 had a 32% increase compared to 2023. One of the leading persecutors is the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. This Crosstalk seeks to increase your awareness as to what is going on with believers in China, but also in other countries around the world as well. Jeff King is president of International Christian Concern, an organization that has served the global persecuted church since 1995. Jeff is a leading expert on the matter of religious persecution. He's traveled to more than 70 countries thus gaining extensive knowledge of what is happening to religious freedom. He has a passion for the persecuted. He is author of Islam Uncensored and Last Words of the Martyrs.Concerning China, Jeff noted that leader Xi Jinping is currently in a crackdown phase. This phase includes knocking churches down, tearing down crosses, constant pressure to have churches come under state control, secret arrests, torture, abuse and murder. In spite of all this, the Marxist leaders there simply don't understand that the more you try to stamp out the church, the more it grows.

Last Thursday, white smoke came forth from the Sistine Chapel indicating a new pope had been selected. As the smoke rose, the throngs gathered in St. Peter's Square burst forth in cheers. Then the name was revealed. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, at age 69, had been named the new pope, the first pope to ever come from the United States. His official papal name: Pope Leo XIV. Crowds swelled as the first public appearance was named. So, who exactly is Pope Leo XIV? What is his belief system? Will he point individuals to Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation and Jesus as being the only mediator between God and man or will he be leading followers down the same pathway of deception just as his predecessors?Returning to Crosstalk to bring a biblical perspective concerning this new pope was Mike Gendron. Mike is founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry.Mike noted that Pope Leo XIV appears to be very well qualified to run an international organization. He speaks 5 different languages and is well educated with advanced degrees in mathematics and theology. However, is he qualified to be the head of the church that Catholics believe was founded by Jesus Christ? Mike answers that and much more as he explains the following:The historic significance of this new pope's name. Leo XIV called himself a successor to Peter. Is he?Do the Scriptures tell us anywhere about walking with Mary as Pope Leo XIV has communicated? The blasphemous and unscriptural nature of calling a pope "holy." Was the pope biblically incorrect to say that, "...individuals are reborn in the waters of baptism"?Will this pope be conservative or liberal?

In fact, it's almost become a status symbol to be viewed as transgender. Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a ground-breaking report which confirms the lack of evidence supporting both the safety and efficacy of transgender interventions both in children and adolescents. This goes against the mantra that's been coming out from many public school systems, as well as the practices of Planned Parenthood and what we've been seeing from Hollywood. This is a many faceted issue that involves aspects such as gender dysphoria, gender affirming care, preferred pronouns, puberty blockers, emotional instability, the suicide factor and more.

Reverend Jim Harden is president and CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. On May 2nd, 2022, an illegal leak took place from the Supreme Court indicating a forthcoming overturn of Roe v. Wade. 6 days later (Mother's Day), Jim Schneider received word that a firebomb had gone off targeting our friends at Wisconsin Family Action. There was significant damage to the offices but thankfully no lives were taken.Part of the damage included vandalism where the following words were spray-painted in black across the building: "If abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either."A group identifying itself as "Jane's Revenge" claimed responsibility for the act and the message. Then on June 7th, 2023, another target was hit. This time it was CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. The result was catastrophic damage and firefighters were reportedly injured in attempting to extinguish the blaze. Even though there were other related acts of violence across the nation, and even though the New York perpetrators were caught on video, the FBI claimed they had a difficult time apprehending anyone because the incidents happened at night. That was an interesting response given that they seemed to have no difficulty surrounding the homes of peaceful pro-lifers with guns drawn and taking them captive in front of their children.According to Reverend Harden, the battle continues. They're fighting against New York Attorney General Letitia James, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, big-tech censorship that wants to wipe them off Google Maps so women can't find them, death threats and more.

A steamroller levels most anything that gets in its way. This is a good analogy for big government and the deep-state as it doesn't care about private property, individual freedom or independence. It only cares about forging ahead to get rid of anything that might get in its way.This has been the case for many landowners that have been in the way of the carbon capture pipeline steamroller. Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this issue was Tom DeWeese. Tom is president of American Policy Center. He is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education and American sovereignty and independence and protecting our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.Tom has written that the carbon capture pipeline is one of the worst environmental scams ever. The idea is to take carbon dioxide (which is basically plant food) out of the atmosphere and bury it underground. He believes this doesn't help the environment, it's damaging to it but that shouldn't surprise anyone when you realize that this is about controlling farmers and private property.Which states are seeing efforts to place a carbon capture pipeline? What problems are associated with this process for both landowners and the environment? Tom answers these and other important questions for you to consider, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Once these deadly practices are legalized, there's always a push for expansion.Returning to Crosstalk to bring an update on this issue was Brad Mattes. Brad is president of Life Issues Institute which was founded in 1991 to serve the educational needs of the pro-life movement. Brad is president of the International Right to Life Federation, a frequent international speaker and lecturer on abortion and related life issuesThis is a topic that must be followed, not just from a U.S. perspective, but internationally as well. For example, Brad noted how in Canada in 2020 they introduced a bill to remove "Reasonably Foreseeable Death." This has been expanded to include those with serious disabilities or chronic illness even though they're not terminally ill. Now there's pressure to expand this to patients with dementia or mental illness although the outcry appears to have put this off for the time being. However, he indicated they still expect to pass this as people become desensitized to this and opposition dies down. Why do some say we need the option of death with dignity? Where is the pressure coming from for people to pursue euthanasia? When does the right to die become the duty to die?

The Critical Need for Prayer!

It was by a joint resolution of Congress, signed into law by President Harry Truman, that the National Day of Prayer was established to be observed on the first Thursday of May.While having national recognition of prayer is important, what about at the personal level? After all, each of us has the privilege of coming before God in His grace and in the name of His son Jesus Christ, to intercede for our nation, its leaders, churches and families. Unfortunately, such prayer is often relegated to a single day when it should be a vital part of every day. No one knows this better than Evangelist Harold Vaughan. He is founder and president of Christ Life Ministries, Inc. Harold trusted Christ as Savior in his teen years. While in Bible College the Lord called him to enter the ministry as an evangelist. He has a passion for reaching the lost and to encourage the local church.Harold noted that prayer starts in the hearts of people, yet he sees faith-based effective prayer as being at a low ebb in the church at this time. Should we be surprised it's this way when as Harold also pointed out, many churches were not founded as churches of prayer, but rather as houses of preaching, programs, politics or personality. So listen to this broadcast and learn why prayer is such a passion for Harold, what's keeping so many believers from having a regular and effective prayer life, as well as guidance for personal prayer, family prayer, corporate church prayer and showing how this is all to be scripturally driven.
