Ohio Christian Alliance Podcast News in Focus

Stalemate at the Ohio Statehouse. There continues to be a stalemate at the Ohio Statehouse. Legislation is bottled up in committee and not coming to the floor for a vote. Ohioans voted for a majority of Republicans In both the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate. Ohio is a conservative state, and people are frustrated as to why we do not see the same type of conservative legislation passing in Ohio that is passing in other conservative states. The problem continues to be Speaker Stephens, who was elected Speaker with a majority of Democrats, not Republicans.  This continues to be a point of frustration for conservatives in both the House and Senate. This stalemate is now at historic levels, as this General Assembly has passed less legislation than any other Oho legislature going back 70 years. Frustrated by the standoff, Governor DeWine himself called for a special session. The last time a Governor had to call for a special session was in 2004. The Ohio House and the Ohio Senate did come together this week to pass a bill that would ban foreign money from interfering in Ohio's elections. They also voted to put Joe Biden on the Ohio ballot. The question remains, will the Ohio House and Senate come together to pass meaningful conservative legislation, or will the stalemate continue the rest of this session? Listen to this week's News in Focus program to learn more.

STOP Illegal Immigration in Ohio- Legislation has been introduced to address the problem. State Rep. Scott Wiggam of the 77th Ohio House District in Wayne County discusses legislation that he has introduced to address the illegal immigration problem in Ohio.  H.B. 327, E-Verify, will penalize employers who hire illegal immigrants. H.B. 451, The Wire Act, will track American funds being wired out of the State of Ohio. Drug cartels and human traffickers are wiring money out of the state that they acquire by selling drugs and sex trafficking in the state. Rep. Wiggam's bill will finally track this money.  The third piece of legislation is a Texas-style illegal immigration law. Illegal immigration is illegal, in Ohio and we should treat it as such. Ohio as a border state should have the  authority for its law enforcement to arrest and deport illegals from the State of Ohio. Tune in and tell a friend.

Greg Lawson discusses Ohio's housing crisis and what policy makers are doing about it Greg Lawson, Research Fellow at the Buckeye Institute, Ohio's conservative think tank, joins News in Focus to discuss with Chris Long Ohio's housing crisis and what legislators are doing about it. Rising costs due to inflation, high interest rates, and the lack of available single family homes, as well as rising rents, are driving the crisis. Ohio can't build for the future if it can't house the new workers coming in for the Intel project in central Ohio. Costs are high, builders aren't building, banks aren't lending, and younger adults are losing hope of ever realizing the American dream of owning their own home. The Ohio Senate convened a select committee on housing earlier this year. They heard from mortgage lenders,  home builders, and other interested parties. They have taken those findings from the committee hearings and have drafted  legislation to address the problem. Senate President Matt Huffman stated in a press conference last week that there was not enough time this year to have a comprehensive plan in place, but that this will be a priority of the legislature and that it will take multiple years to turn the situation around in Ohio to address Ohio's housing crisis.

Standing By Israel With Laurie Cardoza Moore Israel is fighting the war against HAMAS in Gaza.

Pro-HAMAS protests have begun to turn the head of Democratic leadership in Washington as the Presidential race heats up. Laurie Cardoza Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, insists this is no time to abandon Israel, our chief ally in the Middle East.

White House disrespects Christians and Easter-Declares Transgender Day Christian leaders and political leaders rebuke the Biden Administration for its disregard of Christianity's holiest day on the calendar. Easter Sunday is the celebration of Christ's resurrection in the Christian church worldwide. From our beginning as a nation, Presidents have acknowledged the Christian calendar and offered proclamations of peace and blessing. The Biden Administration broke from this tradition and instead announced a "Transgender Day of Visibility." Leaders from across the Christian community decried the White House's disregard for the Christian holiday.  Pastor Al Davis and I discuss this news event and how Christians should respond. 

AG Yost discusses nitrogen hypoxia as a remedy to carry out Ohio's death penalty. Attorney General Dave Yost joined Representatives Brian Stewart and Phil Plummer in a recent press conference announcing legislation that would include nitrogen hypoxia as a method to carry out Ohio's death penalty. In recent years, Ohio, along with other states who have a death penalty for certain capital crime, i.e. murder, has been stymied by the drug industry that will not provide the state with the drugs to be used in lethal injection. In February, Alabama carried out a successful execution using nitrogen hypoxia. The Attorney General of Alabama declared it a success and stated that he would be available for other states' attorneys to contact his office for details.

AG Yost discusses nitrogen hypoxia as a remedy to carry out Ohio's death penalty Attorney General Dave Yost joined Representatives Brian Stewart and Phil Plummer in a recent press conference announcing legislation that would include nitrogen hypoxia as a method to carry out Ohio's death penalty. In recent years, Ohio, along with other states who have a death penalty for certain capital crime, i.e. murder, has been stymied by the drug industry that will not provide the state with the drugs to be used in lethal injection. In February, Alabama carried out a successful execution using nitrogen hypoxia. The Attorney General of Alabama declared it a success and stated that he would be available for other states' attorneys to contact his office for details. The following are statements from AG Yost and State Rep. Phil Plummer. “There must be accountability for offenders convicted of the most heinous crimes and prisoners who continue to flout the law behind bars,” Yost said. “The pursuit of justice is a journey, and closure remains elusive for victims' families until a sentence is fully executed. Ensuring that the consequences align with the severity of an offense is essential to providing solace to grieving relatives.” “Capital punishment has been recognized by the state of Ohio since 1803. It is now time for the authorization of other methods for carrying out capital punishment in addition to lethal injections,” Plummer stated. “By using nitrogen hypoxia, we are giving the system an additional resource for holding accountable those who have committed heinous crimes. Claims of a lack of access to lethal injections by Ohio's executive branch will no longer be the case. It is time that we stop postponing executions and give the families of victims the closure that they deserve.”

Tell us why you're running for congress in the 13th What is your position on the southern border? What should congress do about the 34 trillion dollars in national debt? Due to the federal government's lack of response to the crisis on the southern border, Gov. Abbot of Texas has deployed the Texas National Guard to put up barriers and razor wire to stop the flow of illegals crossing our southern border. Do you support Gov. Abbot's efforts and what more in your opinion needs to happen to the nearly 9 million illegals that have entered the U.S. illegally in the last 3 years? Do you support a mass deportation of those who have crossed illegally into the U.S.? What is your position on abortion?

The Life Movement and the Way Forward with Peter Range of Ohio Right to Life In the aftermath of the effort to defeat the passage of Issue 1, the abortion rights amendment, the pro-life movement is re-engaging to educate a younger voter and to start the discussion to advance a pro-life culture among 18-35 year-olds. Exit polls indicated that the pro-life community fared poorly with this age demographic. We must change that trajectory if we are going to build a culture of life with the current generation. Peter shares that he attended the March for Life for many years and participated with the marchers. But this year, he wanted to watch them walk by and witness who had come from across the country to make a stand for life. He was moved to tears watching the tens of thousands of young people who had come to march for life in our nation's capitol. We discuss some strategies of how we will continue to advocate for life through education and public policy. Tune in and tell a friend.

Veto Override Vote on H.B. 68 Wednesday at the Ohio Statehouse Speaker Stephens has called for the General Assembly to reconvene Wednesday January 10th at the Ohio Statehouse - first session of the new year. The main agenda item is the veto override vote on H.B. 68, the Ohio SAFE Act. Sixty votes are needed. The issue has become a national one, as Republicans in Ohio are in an uproar over Governor DeWine's veto of common sense legislation that protects girls' and women's sports by banning male athletes from competing in girl's and women's sports and bans hormone-blocking drugs for minors and bans life-altering sexual mutilation surgeries of minors at Ohio's hospitals.  Part 2  Elected officials swatted - Calls to override the veto on H.B. 68 go out News in Focus launches the new year 2024.

The swatting occurred on the anniversary date of the signing of legislation that stiffens the penalties in the State of Ohio for those who falsely call law enforcement to weaponize the SWAT teams.  Governor DeWine shocked members of his own party when he vetoed the common sense legislation of H.B. 68 the Ohio SAFE Act, legislation that protects women's sports for girls and women in the State of Ohio. It also bans the transgender indoctrination that is going on in public schools and in certain health clinics in Ohio and that is being pushed by children's hospitals. It bans hormone blocking drugs and gender mutilating surgeries on minors. Governor DeWine's veto angered conservatives throughout the state. A cascade of statements was launched by all statewide officeholders, the Chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, a number of Ohio House and Senate members, and even President Trump who weighed in and said the following, "DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left. No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won't be introducing him any more, I'm finished with this "stiff." What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women's sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!" The push is on for the legislature to overturn the Governor's veto of H.B. 68 as soon as possible. Click here to contact your State Representative.

State Rep Reggie Stoltzfus on H.B. 68 the Ohio SAFE Act Rep. Reggie Stoltzfus of Ohio's 50th District discusses with OCA President Chris Long the importance of protecting girls' and women's sports in H.B. 68. The bill also bans hormone blocking drugs and life-altering surgeries for minors in Ohio. The gender dysphoria psychosis being pushed by public school counselors and some health clinics is pushing adolescents into life-altering decisions that many regret just a few years later. Testimony in the House and Senate by young people who made these decisions and had adults pushing them toward these decisions broke the hearts of many by hearing their testimonies. H.B. 68 will protect Ohio's children by keeping women's sports for women only and blocking hospitals and clinics from pushing children into gender dysphoria. Call Governor DeWine. The bill passed both the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate by large margins, but the Governor has yet to sign it. CALL DeWine's Office TODAY at 614-466-3555 or online by Clicking Here and tell him that Ohioans want this bill signed into Law!

Never Alone Act H.B. 236 - No one should die alone because of government mandates During the COVID shutdown, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living centers forced the elderly, infirmed, and those hospitalized into isolation without the support of family, loved ones, or clergy. At the time of the COVID shutdown, the Ohio Christian Alliance received numerous reports of medical neglect and isolation of those who were in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living centers due to the state government mandate (under the health emergency). The effects of the shutdown were much greater than was the spread of COVID-19 itself. We received heart-wrenching stories of individuals whose family members died in hospitals and nursing facilities without anyone present with them to hold their hand or to give them comfort. Rep. Melanie Miller of the 67th  House District and Rep. Beth Lear of the 61st House District are co-sponsors of H. B. 236, the Never Alone Act. In this broadcast we hear proponent testimony by Reps Miller and Lear and expert testimony from Dr. Malek on the need for this legislation.  Call your state representatives and urge them to support the Never Alone Act, H.B. 236.  Read the bill at this link

Their heart-wrenching stories stirred the committee members, and the evidence was undeniable of how harmful this indoctrination of gender dysphoria is to our young people. Ohio's SAFE Act, H.B. 68, is sponsored by State Rep. Gary Click and 40 other House members. Hearings are currently in the Ohio Senate Government and Oversight Committee. It has received a sponsor and proponent testimony. Call your Ohio Senator and urge them to support H.B. 68, the Ohio SAFE Act.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Ohio Christian Alliance.  Part 2 For Their Honor book by Chris Long now available interview on TCT For Their Honor - How the D-Day Prayer was added to the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. This book was written to tell the eleven-year story of how one of the largest mass prayers in history was added to the World War II Memorial. The D-Day Prayer was one of FDR's fireside chats, but it stands alone as an incredible moment in American history. The date was June 6th, 1944. Operation Overlord, the D-Day invasion of western France, was already underway by the Allied nations. News reports throughout the day were released from General Eisenhower 's headquarters with short statements, but with few details of what was happening with the landings and on the beaches of France. The American public anxiously awaited throughout the day to hear from President Roosevelt for more details on the historic invasion. What they heard that evening was a president inviting them to join him in prayer. This book tells the story of how this wonderful historic presidential prayer was added to the National Mall in Washington as a permanent addition to an already magnificent monument that was dedicated in the honor and for the memory of the Greatest Generation, the 16 million Americans who served us in World War II.

AG Yost has written a detailed analysis of what Issue 1 will do if  passed by the Ohio voters on the November 7th Election. He enumerates the areas in existing state law that would be affected by this proposed amendment. From AG Yost's analysis: The summary discusses the Amendment's legal standards and how they compare to the different standards under Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and concludes with a list of several laws that could be affected by this Amendment if it is enacted. Because the Amendment talks more broadly of reproductive health care,” including contraception, and other items 'including but not limited to' abortion, this list makes mention of specific laws that, based on past experience, I expect will most certainly be challenged at some point. It is not, however, an exhaustive list of all statutes that might possibly be affected by the proposed Amendment. Assembling such a list would require a greater degree of conjecture and speculation than is proper here." issue-1-analysis-ohio-ag-aspx.pdf (ohioca.org)

If it is passed, legalizing recreational marijuana in Ohio, all Ohioans will suffer while a few get wealthy. The business community, the medical community, law enforcement, and the faith community have coalesced together to oppose Issue 2. Issue 2 legalizes an addiction-for-profit industry at the expense of our families and poses substantial risks to the public health and safety of all Ohioans, especially children and adolescents, given marijuana's high potential for abuse. It increases the likelihood that users will endanger others by driving while under the influence. It heightens the risk of workplace injuries and employer liability. Vote NO on Issue 2. Let's not let Ohio go to pot. 

Corinne LaMarca and Senator Mark Romanchuk discuss the campaign to oppose Issue 2 legalization of marijuana.  Corinne LaMarca shares the tragic story of her daughter's death by a driver impaired by marijuana.

Corrine tells her story to warn others of what the marijuana industry has planned for Ohio if Issue 2 passes.  Part 2  Senator Mark Romanchuk sounds the alarm on Issue 2. If it is passed, legalizing recreational marijuana in Ohio, all Ohioans will suffer while a few get wealthy. The business community, the medical community, law enforcement, and the faith community have coalesced together to oppose Issue 2. Issue 2 legalizes an addiction-for-profit industry at the expense of our families and poses substantial risks to the public health and safety of all Ohioans, especially children and adolescents, given marijuana's high potential for abuse. It increases the likelihood that users will endanger others by driving while under the influence. It heightens the risk of workplace injuries and employer liability. Vote NO on Issue 2. Let's not let Ohio go to pot. 

Legalization of recreational marijuana is a bad idea for Ohio. Vote NO on Issue 2.  A recent study finds marijuana use can lead to widespread health issues, including high rates of depression, poor sleep quality, addiction, and for pregnant women it can cause harm to their babies in the womb. The Daily Mail recently examined several medical studies into marijuana use. In Denmark, researchers found someone with cannabis use disorder was 4 times more likely to be diagnosed as bi-polar. Elsewhere, there have been many anecdotal reports of high-potency marijuana vapes causing psychotic breaks and suicidal thoughts. Marijuana is legal for recreational use in 21 US states and Washington DC. Vice President of Community Engagement and Global Goodwill at Evoke Wellness Drug and Alcohol Rehab, Jim Wahlberg, joins to share what he is seeing on the front lines regarding marijuana use and what sorts of health and mental problems he is seeing. Wahlberg discusses what it signals for marijuana use in the US that it is legal for recreational use in 21 states and for medicinal use in 40 states and whether there is any way to reverse some of these laws. He explains whether there are any circumstances where marijuana can be good. -EWTN NEWS- Laura Strietmann from Cincinnati Right to Life and Author Steve Feazel-America in the Balance Part 2 It's an all-out effort from the right-to-life community to defeat Issue 1, the abortion ballot issue on the November ballot.

Seth describes the deceptive nature of the abortion ballot language and urges Ohioans to beware and VOTE NO in NOVEMBER.  To sign up for the door-to-door or phone bank effort, click on this link. 

Attacks on Ohio churches are on the increase. AG Dave Yost weighs in.  In recent weeks, churches in multiple counties across Ohio have been victimized by disturbing vandalism and church property destruction. OCA has received reports from our contacts across the state on these disturbing attacks on churches. The vandalism has been documented by police reports and local news media. Major Ohio media has not covered the story. But the attacks have happened in multiple counties: Lake County (Willoughby), Cuyahoga (Parma), Richland (Shelby), and Washington (Churchtown). In this interview with Attorney General Dave Yost, we include news coverage from Channel 19 Cleveland and WTAP Parkersburg which covers southeast Ohio news.  AG Yost weighs in and shares his frustration with Merrick Garland's Justice Department, and encourages clergy to contact local law enforcement for aid and assistance.    Part 2 - Ohio churches attacked by vandals- The increase in vandalism is concerning public officials Church vandalism attacks again are on the increase here in the State of Ohio. A man from Painesville vandalized and attempted to set on fire a church in Willoughby earlier this month.  In Southeast Ohio, in Washington County, four adults were arrested who broke into, vandalized, and ransacked a church. The four have been arrested on charges of breaking and entering, desecration, and child endangerment, as a six-year-old child was with them during the incident. Other recent attacks on churches took place in Shelby and in Fredericktown, Ohio. The vandalism and destruction have caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage at both churches. The Ohio Christian Alliance has contacted State Attorney General Dave Yost and will provide him with the reports from these local communities. The churches have responded by holding special revival meetings and greater outreach to the community with the Good News of the Gospel. Joining me to discuss these recent developments is Pastor Al Davis. Tune in and tell a friend.

What can we learn from it and what must Christians and pro-life leaders do to defeat the radical abortion ballot issue in November? 1.3 million Ohioans voted for Issue One.  1.7 million Ohioans voted against it. As one analyst said in a recent report, these numbers do not portend a guarantee for the abortion ballot measure. Some Ohioans who voted no in August will also vote no in November. But, because Issue 1 failed, it will be a simple majority vote of 51% for passage. The Ballot Board meets this week and will assign issue numbers to both the abortion ballot issue and to the marijuana legalization issue. It's imperative for Ohioans to come out in big numbers and vote no in November. 

Bernie Moreno on Issue 1 and the Court Challenge to the Abortion Ballot Issue Traveling the state and urging his fellow Ohioans to vote YES on Issue 1 to Protect Ohio's Constitution from the radical left, Cleveland businessman and candidate for the U.S. Senate Bernie Moreno shares the importance of the August 8th Special Election passage of Issue 1 that will raise the Constitutional amendment passage threshold to 60 percent. The polls show the issue neck and neck, but momentum is building in support of Issue 1.    Part 2  Breaking News.....  A lawsuit has been filed, challenging the abortion ballot issue at the Ohio Supreme Court. The radical abortion ballot issue backed by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU has just been challenged in the Ohio Supreme Court.  The Court has granted an expedited hearing on the case. Cincinnati Constitutional Attorney Curt Hartman argues that the abortion ballot amendment proposal is unconstitutional, as it does not state the laws that it would replace if adopted. Legal analysts watching this case say that this is the one to watch. The case has great merit and is stating the facts that are in Ohio law.  Quoting the brief filed by Attorney Hartman: "The law this Court is now called upon to apply is clear and unequivocal: any statewide initiative petition proposing a constitutional amendment must include “the text of any existing statute…that would be amended or repealed if the proposed…constitutional amendment is adopted.”  R.C. 3519.01(A).  Equally clear and undisputed is the fact that the statewide initiative petition at issue herein did not identify or include the text of any existing statute whatsoever.  Yet, the proposed constitutional amendment seeks to radically and fundamentally alter the whole subject-matter relating to reproductive rights (and abortion, in particular), including establishing a new and expansive definition on fetal viability, as well as establishing more liberal standards on abortion.  In so doing, the proposed constitutional amendment will create irreconcilable conflicts or repugnancies with innumerable provisions of existing statute, resulting in such statutes being amended or repealed.  Because the statewide initiative petition at issue herein failed to comply with the law, i.e., R.C. 3519.01(A), by including the text of any existing statute that would be amended or repealed if the proposed constitutional amendment is adopted, the petition failed to comply with all requirements of law and, accordingly, the petition must be declared to be invalid and the proposed constitutional amendment not placed on the ballot at the forthcoming general election."  Click here to read the entire brief

Breaking News - Abortion issue will be on November ballot - We must pass Issue 1 on Aug 8th to save Ohio's unborn! The Ohio SOS today announced that the ACLU-led abortion ballot group has secured enough signatures to be on the November ballot. If this radical abortion ballot proposal passes, it will legalize abortion through the ninth month of pregnancy in Ohio. If it passes, all of Ohio's pro-life reasonable laws will be stricken from the books, including Ohio's ban on partial-birth abortion and Ohio's parental rights notification law. It is an emergency for Ohio Christians to get out and vote YES on Issue 1 on August 8th.

It will also require that signatures be gathered from all of Ohio's 88 counties, not just a few. Mike Gonidakis points out the organizations supporting Issue 1 and the radical leftist organizations that oppose its passage.

On This Independence Day, We Celebrate the Court Decision on Religious Liberty Constitutional attorney and former Ohio Senate President Larry Obhoff breaks down the recent SCOTUS decisions on religious liberty.  Carson v. Makin (2022) - Maine case involving school vouchers. Maine had a broad-based voucher program, in part because Maine has big rural areas where they literally don't have public schools. The state forbids vouchers from being used at religious schools. The Supreme Court struck down this policy. (I worked on this case for Buckeye Institute.) Kennedy v Bremerton (2022) - A football coach was fired for saying a silent prayer after games at the 50-yard line. Supreme Court held it violated the Free Exercise Clause. Shurtleff v Boston (2022) - The city of Boston allowed hundreds of organizations to use the city flagpole to fly their own flags, 284 flags without ever rejecting one. Told a Christian group they could not use the flagpole. Supreme Court said (unanimously) that this violated the Free Speech Clause. Geoff v DeJoy (2023) - decided last week. The Postal Service repeatedly punished an employee for not working on the Sabbath.  Supreme Court unanimously held that he was protected by federal civil rights laws. 303 Creative v Elenis (2023) decided last week. In a 6-3 opinion, the Court held that the First Amendment prohibits the state of Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which she disagrees. On one hand, these victories suggest a bunch of wins for religious liberty. On the other hand, the fact that five cases like this ended up in front of the court in an 18-month window suggests that government intrusion on religious liberty is widespread. Part 2   The state budget breakdown with Greg Lawson, Research Fellow with the Buckeye Institute.  Historic expansion of universal school vouchers is the state school budget

State Senator Andy Brenner expresses the frustration that the Ohio Senate members feel, as this is one of the most conservative budgets in recent years that includes an historic universal school choice provision for Ohio students. Senator Andy Brenner of Ohio's 19th District breaks it all down for us. Tune in and tell a friend. 

SOS Frank LaRose discusses Issue 1 and the August 8th Special Election On this program, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose discusses the August 8th Special Election on Issue 1 The Constitutional Amendment passage increase to 60% would require that any proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State of Ohio receive the approval of at least 60 percent of eligible voters voting on the proposed amendment. The Founding Fathers understood the importance of the U.S. Constitution. It takes two-thirds of both chambers of the U.S. Congress and three-fourths of the states to amend the U.S. Constitution. Ohio is one of only eight states that requires a simple majority to amend their constitution. Forty-two other states have higher standards for amending their constitutions than Ohio has. The Ohio Constitution has been amended 172 times, while the U.S. Constitution has only been amended 27 times. Radical abortion interests are seeking to place on the November ballot in Ohio an amendment that would legalize abortion to the ninth month of pregnancy, taking Ohio back to the dark days of Roe v. Wade. If the November ballot measure is passed, it will wipe out all of Ohio's pro-life laws that we have fought for over the past thirty years, including Ohio's ban on partial-birth abortion, Ohio's 20-week abortion ban, Ohio's Heartbeat Law, and the parental notification law. All these pro-life laws will be gone if the radical abortion interests have their way on the November ballot.
