The Wall Street Journal wrote an article about how Syracuse University doesn't have enough students to keep the school afloat. I have 5 reasons why this is happening. And since these places are Godless propaganda factories, is it good that they're going belly up?

Any other presidential administration would have ignored this injustice, but the Trump Administration defended this American scholar because it's the right thing to do. Dr. Cofnas is a controversial figure because he talks about IQ and racial differences. IQ is an interesting topic, but I believe Christians should focus on a different aspect of life.

Children in school are suffering. Why is that? Jesse Kelly and Mike Slater investigate. Mike also dives into how Islam is conquering America and what Christians must do to respond.

Any organization that is not explicitly Christian will eventually become pagan. The Muslims infiltrated the Boy Scouts years ago; it was just a matter of time before the Girl Scouts fell, too. And they won't be the last, but why does this keep happening?

Abdul El-Sayed, the DSA candidate for senator of Michigan, just revealed a major tell about where his allegiances are. Does he consider himself an American? Can someone who considers themselves a foreigner be given the chance to represent the people of Michigan in the US Senate?

META agreed to a $16 billion settlement, but more importantly, agreed to certain "protections" for teenagers' accounts. Do you trust META with your kid's soul?

I said the other day that we are a country made up of families who live in towns. That seems obvious, but we don't act like it. We act like we're a nation of individuals who live on the globe. Dolly was someone who loved her family and loved her town. That being said, her death should be a reminder of the message of Psalm 49.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy was hesitant to allow his daughter to go to Harvard. He eloquently stated his hesitation, and I would like to add another concern I'd have about sending my daughter to college. If you just dropped any of your kids off at college, what are your prayers for them?

Someone called in the other day and said he owns a strip club, but he's willing to get out of the business. Let's help, Greg! And lest we get on our high horse because we don't own a strip club, we should all be like the people outside of Simon's house asking for Jesus' help.

The bible actually says A LOT about money. What does it say? Mike Slater first asks Liberty University professor Kurt Cornfield, who spent most of his career in the financial world. Mike then catches up with Pastor Tom Ascol of Founders Ministries for some biblical perspective on money.

What does the bible say about money? Mike Slater dives into some key biblical principles to understand before having a deeper conversation about the economy in general with Steve Cortes.

I only see two differences between the Democrats and DSA at the moment: speed and honesty. Where the Democrats want to slow-roll us to communism and are sneaky about it, DSA wants communism yesterday and they're blatant about it. I have an example of each, and then we'll talk about the importance of doing everything "God's Way".

Watch out for Tiktok detectives trying to solve the murder case of these 3 precious children. The fallen-human's desire to know everything can lead people to dark places.

Reports are spreading that life aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln is difficult and uncomfortable. How bad are things? There's not enough fresh milk. I'll tell you why the media is spreading this story and what the truth is.

Hayden Panettiere was a child actress and was rich and famous. She, among too many others, is a tragic reminder that none of these things bring happiness. It's always good to be reminded of where we must find rest and peace.

In this country, there are people "of the Devil," and there are people "of Christ." We are called to build. The rest are dead set on destruction. Whether it's institutions, organizations, or statues and memorials, those of the Devil can't stop destroying everything that is good, beautiful, and true.

Communists and Marxists have developed countless ways to distort truth, manipulate language, and reshape how people understand reality. The conversation also examines the growing alliance between radical Muslim movements and the communist left, along with the dangers of embracing radical DSA ideology. Mike Slater speaks with James Lindsay about the ideological forces working to transform Western society.

Mike Slater sits down with Pastor Allen Jackson for a deep dive into The Great Deception — the biblical warning that Satan's strategy is to deceive humanity and pull people away from the Word of God. They examine how deception has infected modern politics and the media, why some human behavior is genuinely evil and requires the courage to call it what it is, and how Satan can deceive the Church itself. The conversation is ultimately about recognizing lies, returning to Scripture, and refusing to let deception replace truth.

There isn't a financial advisor in the country who would tell you that gambling your money is part of a diversified portfolio, but 52% of Gen Z has taken money out of their investments to gamble on sports. The Bible doesn't talk about gambling specifically, but it does talk about loss of hope and complaining, which are the roots of this gambling epidemic.

The Communists are excellent at knowing what is good, beautiful, and true. They must in order to tear it down. They recognize that the foundation of America is marriage, so they've been trying to undermine it in every way. AOC is a victim of this, as proven by a 1920 essay by the highest-ranking woman in the Russian Revolution.

A "church" in Texas endorsed pro-baby-killing James Talarico for Senate. Why does it seem that certain kinds of "churches" have no hesitation ot get involved with politics, but others remain silent? Maybe we should change that.

AOC announced that, at the age of 36, she is freezing her eggs so she can keep pursuing her career (and run for president). This type of planning is referred to in the Bible as "alazoneia".

A JetBlue airplane took a 5-second nosedive off the coast of Florida. As the investigators went through all of the possible reasons why, you won't believe the reason they landed on.

From political scandals and violent unrest to some of the biggest headlines of the past two decades, a troubling pattern has emerged: those in power often escape consequences while ordinary Americans are held to a different standard. Mike Slater, Vince Miller and Pastor Douglas Wilson examine how abandoning biblical accountability has reshaped America's institutions and why true justice begins with God's standard—not man's. They explain why a society that rejects moral responsibility ultimately undermines itself.

Every person struggles with weakness, temptation, and failure—but the pursuit of virtue has always defined strong societies. Mike Slater and Andrew Klavan examine why accountability, personal responsibility, and moral character are disappearing from American culture, and what that means for the future. They explore why embracing our flaws instead of excusing them may be the first step toward rebuilding the country.

There is an online discussion about inflation and the "$20 burrito". There is a lot of talking past each other on this issue. We're 3 months from the midterms; we have to make sure our messaging is on point on this issue.

***Kids Warning*** The news says that Perez Hilton had a "self-harm episode" or some euphemism like that. It was much worse than most could imagine. How did this happen? And were there demonic forces at work?

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is the frontrunner in the Democratic primary in MI for Senate. Republican consultants think the Republican candidate has a better chance against this extremist, but I think we shouldn't play with fire.

The scenes coming out of Spain looked like something out of the movie World War Z.

Lust has become one of the most powerful forces shaping modern culture, affecting people of every age and stage of life.

Why does evil exist, and why can't humanity seem to escape it? In this special, Mike Slater unpacks the biblical meaning of sin and explains why Scripture presents it as the source of every broken relationship, destructive choice, and moral failure. Building on that foundation, Katy Faust joins the conversation to examine how the consequences of sin have rippled through our culture, reshaping the family, elevating adult desires above the well-being of children, and leaving the next generation to bear consequences they never chose.

A 16-year-old lifeguard saved the life of a 10-year-old boy in California. It's a beautiful sight. We should honor the lifeguard's bravery and skill. We should also be in awe at the power of God's creation. The bible speaks a lot about the ocean and waves. Why does God use this metaphor?

5th Amendment Fauci took the 5th to every question in his hearing yesterday. This is an odd choice because he was already given a pardon. Was telling the truth more dangerous than being in contempt of Congress? I don't know if he'll ever be in handcuffs, but I do know he'll be judged by God in the end. We all will.

I can't believe Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch could be so ignorant about our founding. I can only assume he's "just" a coward. I'm always happy to defend the Christian roots of our country.

Somehow, Rand Paul published Tony Fauci's diary. The contents of the diary prove, of course, that he lied, but it also reveals a fact about human nature: people like to be exalted by men. But we all know what happens after Pride...

Will the media make this story another George Floyd? It depends on how much it helps Democrats. It will have an effect on the Wisconsin governor's primary coming up in 3 weeks. But more importantly, how should we react to this police shooting? This...JUSTIFIED police shooting.

KIDS WARNING for today's episode. We talk about the magic word that certain people can say and other people cannot say. But is saying this word illegal? And should we be judged on our worst day?

Archaeological discoveries and ancient historical records have fueled the debate over the Old Testament for generations. From excavated cities to ancient inscriptions, the evidence continues to raise one fundamental question: do these discoveries support the biblical account? Mike Slater is joined by Dinesh D'Souza to examine the historical case for the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is filled with incredible stories that have shaped history, faith, and civilization for thousands of years—but did those events actually happen?

Watch this special edition of Politics By Faith and decide for yourself.

Powerball exists in 45 states and now it's going global! But is it bad if it's never directly mentioned in the Bible?

"Conservative" commentator Guy Benson got another motherless child from surrogacy. Many "conservatives" have congratulated him. Why? If we want to conserve anything worth conserving, we need to have the courage to speak the truth.

The State Department issued a 100 page report about how Cuba has been the source of Communism in America. Communists have been around for a while in America, but there is one fundamental difference today. We break it down today and talk about the best way, maybe the only way, we can stop the rise of communism in America.

When we live in a culture of death, it's just a matter of time before we treat babies like a commodity to be bought, sold and slaughtered on a whim. When a baby is, we're told, just a "clump of cells", why would we treat their life as sacred? We have two terrible stories to show how far we've fallen and then one story that shows we still have hope.

New York's affordability crisis is forcing working families and seniors out of the communities they've called home for decades, as rising costs, higher taxes, and years of political decisions continue to reshape the state's future. Mike Slater sits down with Councilwoman Vickie Paladino to examine why so many believe these policies have made New York increasingly unaffordable. Pastor Douglas Wilson then joins to discuss communism's devastating legacy around the world, why it has long been viewed as incompatible with Christianity, and why ideas rooted in the ideology are gaining renewed attention in America.

The Democratic Socialists of America have gone from a relatively small political organization to a rapidly growing force within the Democrat Party. As the DSA expanded its membership, organized chapters across the country, and helped elect candidates who embrace its platform, policies once considered far outside the political mainstream have gained influence. Mike Slater examines the rise of the DSA, its growing impact on the direction of the Democrat Party, and what that could mean for the future of American politics.

The president gve his speech from the White House about now-unclassified incofmation on election fraud. There were 4 main accusations. We break them all down on the show today. We then go the Bible to prove that whenever there is money or power to gain, people will lie, cheat and steal there way to it.

Our special this weekend is about the rise of DSA. Mamdani is just the beginning; it's about to get a lot worse from these Third World Marxists in America. The president says these communists pose a bigger threat to America than WWI and WWII and any threat we've ever faced. Today's episode is an intro to DSA, and we talk about the most important weapon we have to fight the darkness.

"Young Washington" was spectacular! Go see it as soon as possible, and no, I wasn't paid to say any of this. Bring everyone you know. No one could not love it. I was able to talk to the director of the movie and learn how important it was to them to be historically accurate. The movie also celebrates the truth that God protected George Washington and is intimately involved in the affairs of this nation.

If you were the governor of South Carolina, would you go with the strategic move to replace Lindsey Graham, or the sentimental choice? The president made his recommendation!

Senator Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly at the age of 71. What should we say about a politician's passing if we disagree with them on many issues? What can we learn from the life, and death, of prominent US Senators?
