Daniel Tomlinson is Vice President of Advancement at CompassCare, a Pregnancy Center in Buffalo, New York.--As Daniel outlined, the leak of the Dobbs case led to a national, pro-abortion crime wave. The result was over 160 attacks on pro-life organizations nationwide.--To date, no one has been arrested at the local, state or federal level. --On June 7th, CompassCare was attacked by a pro-abortion terrorist group calling itself -Jane's Revenge-. They took credit for the attack and caused nearly half a million dollars in damage to CompassCare's Buffalo office. In addition, 2 firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze. --In June, CompassCare submitted its video surveillance footage to the police but had to sue them in order to get the video back. Oddly enough, a week after the mid-term election, after being threatened by the House Judiciary Committee and the 1,000 page report outlining the weaponization of the FBI, the FBI finally released an 18 second compilation of the video surveillance footage and offered a -25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the arsonist-s-.--Daniel communicated that the reward money treats this as if it's an isolated incident and not actually part of a targeted campaign against pro-life service organizations. So he contends that if the FBI was serious about wanting to go after those responsible, they'd be offering a reward for each of the 150- pro-life organizations that have been attacked. --Learn more about this continuing story by reviewing this edition of Crosstalk.

Not too many years ago, we were told to be tolerant of the homosexual lifestyle. As homosexuality became LGBT, the movement didn't want to simply be tolerated, they wanted acceptance. Eventually they wanted society to go beyond even that to where today the demand is for everyone to celebrate the lifestyle. The result is that LBGTQ -pride- is being celebrated at numerous levels in schools, pre-schools, colleges and universities, TV networks, government agencies, corporate America, and more.--The new demand is for forced participation as the Senate looks at the forcing of states to recognize so-called same-sex marriage and other aberrant unions as well. If you show dissent, there will be consequences. --Joining Jim to discuss this and related issues was Peter LaBarbera. Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth.--Numerous news items and points related to this topic were covered including-- -The Senate took their next vote to advance the so-called -Respect for Marriage Act.- 12 Republicans joined with Democrats Monday to move this forward. They included- Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and Todd Young of Indiana.--Peter indicated that it looks like the legislation will pass. Not only -would it enshrine the double evil of homosexual, so-called marriage as it promotes homosexuality while also re-defining marriage.

As the prophet Jeremiah wrote, -The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked- who can know it-- In other words, society isn't going to be transformed apart from the work of Jesus Christ.--The guest on this edition of Crosstalk has a passion to help see that kind of transformation take place- a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ and to love people enough to warn them that the path they're on, apart from Christ, is leading toward eternal damnation.--That guest was Ray Comfort. Ray is the founder - CEO of Living Waters. He's a best-selling author who has written more than 100 books. He co-hosts the award-winning television program, Way of the Master, which airs in 190 countries.--Many people around the world were saddened by the death of Queen Elizabeth. News outlets around America followed the situation very closely. In fact, Jim reported that according to Euronews, her funeral was one of the most widely viewed TV events ever. Many even flew in from various parts of the world just to view a portion of the funeral procession or to pay last respects.--There's another event coming up that has motivated Ray to start something called, -Operation London.- This big initiative is based around the coronation for King Charles III. He's excited because he believes this event will be even bigger than the Queen's funeral. The date is May 6th and it will take place at Westminster Abbey.--Ray's idea is to spring-board off the religious symbolism that's a big part of this event and reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This involves a tract with the picture of Charles on the front.

Each year, near Thanksgiving, we set aside a full broadcast to let listeners express their thanks to God. This is especially important today when our nation is in crisis like never before. --The idea of America remembering God is nothing new. Abraham Lincoln laid down a proclamation for a national day of fasting in March of 1863. Here's what he said that's so pertinent to us in our day----Whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord...---Later he went on to say----We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven- we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity- we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.---It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.-

William J. -Bill- Federer is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. He has authored numerous books including, America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America-, and Socialism- The Real History From Plato to the Present. It has the subtitle- How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.--Starting with conditions in the world prior to the time of the Pilgrims, Bill provided a perspective on the American holiday of Thanksgiving you may not have heard. He worked his way to the fleeing of the Pilgrims to Holland, their voyage to America, the Mayflower Compact and how that model shaped our government, their attempt at communism, Samoset and Squanto, the influence of Muslim pirates, and much more as he worked his way to the present. --When Bill is on Crosstalk, class is in session- So have a pen or pencil and notebook ready as you learn the true history that shows how God's hand preserved the Pilgrims and that in spite of extremely difficult circumstances, this led to the Thanksgiving holiday we celebrate today.

Independent, investigative news, reporting, interviews and commentary

Many of us have gone through some kind of challenging experience at one time or another. It may have been a prolonged illness, perhaps you've lost a loved one, maybe you were rejected by your family because of your faith in Christ, or you may have failed to advance in your employment because of the biblical principles that govern your life. --Whatever you've been through or are currently experiencing, we trust that this broadcast will be both a help and an encouragement to you as Jim began the program with the words of Jeremiah found in Lamentations 3-22-23- -It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning- great is thy faithfulness.- --Returning to Crosstalk, this time to examine the subject of God's faithfulness, was Robert J. Morgan. Robert recently transitioned to serve full time as leader of Robert J. Morgan Ministries. He served in pastoral ministry for over 40 years, and is a best-selling author with over 35 books in print.--Robert began by communicating that there has never been a time when God has failed to keep a promise that He gave to him. We live our life based upon God's promises and Scripture is filled with them. We must interpret them correctly and wait upon His timing to fulfill them. So for Robert, getting through difficult circumstances involves a life of searching out the promises that God has for him and attaching himself to those promises, allowing the Lord to lift him by the power of His faithfulness. This is one of the secrets to the victorious life.

With enough material for multiple programs, Jim shared what time allowed. Here are some highlights-----G20 member nations sign a declaration stating that they've agreed to adopt vaccine passports to facilitate all international travel.----President Joe Biden agreed to build on the success of global vaccine passports in a joint communique signed by the group of G20 leaders in Indonesia Wednesday.----Former President Donald Trump declared his candidacy from Mar-a-Lago.----Attorney General Merrick Garland has named a special counsel to investigate former President Trump on Mar-a-Lago documents as well as the events of January 6th.----House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes President Biden should run again for re-election in 2024.----Republican lawmakers in the House announced that they are beginning an investigation of President Joe Biden and what knowledge or involvement he's had in his family's foreign business dealings over the years.----The White House accused congressional Republicans of promoting long debunked conspiracy theories----Mitch McConnell will retain the GOP Senate leadership defeating Republican Senator Rick Scott in a Wednesday afternoon vote. ----House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced to her colleagues that she will not seek re-election to the leadership position. ----Representative Hakeem Jefferies, a top contender to replace Nancy Pelosi, has smeared pro-life Americans repeatedly in recent years, describing half the nation as a threat and -yahoos- for believing that babies in the womb deserve to be protected from violence.

This edition of Crosstalk recalled the account of Noah. God instructed him to build an ark. We know that only he, his wife, his 3 sons, and their wives went into the ark. In total, it was 8 individuals and 2 of each kind of animal. Soon God closed the door, the rains came and flooded the entire earth, the topography was completely changed, and judgment was meted out on a very wicked world.--Some people foolishly call this account a fairy tale or myth. The problem with that position is that when Jesus walked the earth, he referenced Noah as He told of a future time when the conditions of the world would be like the days of Noah.--So do the days of Noah really parallel what we're seeing today- That's the overarching question that Jim attempted to have answered by Jeff Kinley. Jeff is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and has previously served as a pastor. He has a passion for sharing biblical truth and speaks across the country equipping churches and Christians to discern the times and to live with confidence. He's the author of 38 books including, Wake the Bride, Aftershocks, and others including his newly released book, As It Was in the Days of Noah- Warnings from Bible Prophecy about the Coming Global Storm.

This edition of Crosstalk began with news concerning H.R.8404 -Respect for Marriage Act-. As the live edition of Crosstalk aired, your legislators were convening on this legislation and were scheduled to vote on it as well.--This bill would codify the Obergefell decision and same-sex marriage. Groups like Eagle Forum and Liberty Counsel have warned that it could be expanded to include state allowance of polygamy which means other states would have to recognize it.--Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel indicates that members of the Senate have proposed an amendment to H.R. 8404 that fails to provide protections for people or organizations with sincerely held religious beliefs about biblical marriage.--Next, Jim brought information on the G20 conference taking place in Indonesia. Klaus Schwab, the Chairman of the World Economic Forum, opened the summit on Monday calling for global restructuring.--Jim then moved to an article from Lifesite News that echos themes from other speeches given by Schwab. He's told business leaders that there needs to be a particular focus on technology, energy, the reshaping of supply chains, and holding accountable those who pollute the environment.--For the remainder of the program, Jim was joined by Alex Newman. He's an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He's senior editor for The New American and contributes to other publications as well. He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He is Founder of Liberty Sentinel. --Alex was covering the COP27 -Conference of the Parties- Climate Change Conference in Egypt.

One week ago today, voters across America were casting their votes in the mid-term election. Many were predicting a -red wave-. It turned out to be a -purple trickle.---As of this broadcast, the Senate has 49 Republicans and 50 Democrats with the December Georgia runoff still hanging in the balance. Either way, Chuck Schumer will continue as majority leader. In the House, projections show 13 seats left in play with Republicans holding 217 seats to the Democrats 205.--Then there's the election for governor of Arizona where now it appears that Katie Hobbs has won over Kari Lake.--This was the brief review given by Jim before his introduction of guest Robert Knight. Robert is a former Los Angeles Times news editor and columnist for the Washington Times and contributes to other publications as well. Robert has held senior positions in a number of pro-family organizations. He has written several books including The Coming Communist Wave- What Happens If the Left Captures All Three Branches of Government, Liberty on the Brink, and the brand new- Crooked- What Really Happened in the 2020 Election and How to Stop the Fraud. --Jim then sought comment from Robert concerning H.R.8404 that the U.S. Senate will soon be voting on. H.R.8404 -Mat Staver from Liberty Counsel calls it, the oxymoronic Respect for Marriage Act- previously passed the House 267-156. 47 Republicans joined the 220 Democrats to pass the legislation.

We're certainly in a spiritual battle today. It's not against flesh and blood but it's against principalities and powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Whether you realize it or not, as it pertains to this battle, the youth of this generation have a big target painted on their backs. --How do we fend off such conflict- Is victory possible- --Joining Jim in-studio to provide some answers was Carl Kerby. Carl is president - founder of Reasons for Hope. Prior to forming Reasons for Hope, he was a founding board member of Answers in Genesis and served there for 15 years. Carl is a former air-traffic controller at Chicago-O'Hare. He's co-creator and host for the video series, Weapons of Mass Instruction, presenter of the DVD series for teens, Demolishing Strongholds and presenter on the Becoming Bold series for teens and adults. He is producer of the DeBunked video series. He is also an author of numerous books including his latest release, Did Jesus Commit Suicide- And 27 Other Questions.--Also appearing was Frank Figueroa Jr. Frank is a pastor in Hawaii and presenter for Reasons For Hope. He's been a presenter at a number of Christian and private schools throughout Hawaii and a keynote speaker at the Hawaii Homeschool Conference.

Velkommen til Poulsbo, Washington!  Poulsbo is located on Liberty Bay in North Kitsap County west of Seattle.  Nicknamed "Little Norway," the town was founded in the 1880s by Norwegian immigrant Jørgen Eliason.  Eliason was joined by other Scandinavians who relocated from other Midwestern States because of the areas similarities to their home countries.   The downtown is Scandinavian themed and even has a 12 foot tall Norseman statue located in the heart of town.  The primary language of the town was Norwegian until World War II, when an influx of workers for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard tripled the town's population in three years.  Poulsbo holds it's annual Viking Fest every May to celebrate it's rich heritage.  We hope you enjoy our trip to Poulsbo!

Jim began this broadcast by asking a question. Have you ever seen two pictures side by side and a question next to them that asks what the difference is- It may mention that there are 10 differences and you need to find them. At first glance the pictures may look identical but upon further examination you begin to see obvious differences while others are a bit more obscure. As you take more time to study the pictures, before long, you begin to see an increasing number of differences.--This program compared two -pictures- for listeners to consider. One was that of biblical Christianity and the other was Roman Catholicism. Some would say the -pictures- are the same but the guest says otherwise. He concludes that the pictures are actually quite different. --Joining Jim in-studio was Mike Gendron. Mike is the founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 3 decades and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church above all else. He searched the Scriptures and was amazed to find that what he read in Scripture contradicted the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Savior and now the Bible has become his sole authority in all matters of faith. Mike is the author of the books, Preparing for Eternity and Contending for the Gospel and has produced numerous videos with warnings concerning false teachings vs. the truth of the Scriptures.

This edition of Crosstalk began with some post election news items. These included---The latest seat count for Republicans and Democrats as final congressional races continue to be called...Hundreds or even thousands of ballots disappear in Mercer County New Jersey...The Senate race in Georgia between Raphael Warnock and GOP challenger Herschel Walker heads to a December 6th runoff...3 states added abortion provisions to their state constitutions while 2 states voted down measures that would restrict abortion...Two lesbian governors were elected...Minnesota has elected its first transgender state lawmaker in the House...Five states vote in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana...82 Muslims elected into office...and more.--Jim then read the following from historian William Federer----On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, World War I ended. Though the armistice was signed at 5am on November 11th 1918, the fighting continued until 11am killing nearly 11,000 more men.---This kicked off the veterans appreciation portion of this program that also featured a poem from Charles Michael Province, words from President Dwight Eisenhower, and listeners as they called in with special words of appreciation in honor of all veterans.

Here's a selection of election-related news items that Jim covered-----Poll workers at a key voting location in Arizona's Maricopa County announced this morning that voting machines at a polling station in Anthem were not working.----A Georgia judge Monday agreed to have the ballot return deadline extended for about 1,000 Cobb County absentee voters who did not have their requested mail ballots sent out by election officials.----As voters across Mercer County, New Jersey, head to the polls to cast their ballots, officials have announced their voting machines had gone down due to a -county-wide system outage.- Authorities informed residents that they could still vote via standard ballot and insert their ballot into the emergency slot into the machine. The question is- What happens after that-----After President Joe Biden attacked state election reforms and asserted that democracy is on the ballot, his administration's Justice Department announced Monday that it would be sending election observers to 24 states.----The state of Florida is pushing back against federal government monitoring inside polling places saying it violates state law.----Cyber security units from the National Guard activated in 14 U.S. states to help counter any threats to election officials' networks ahead of, during, and following the mid-term election.----President Joe Biden spoke at a rally in support of Governor Kathy Hochul of New York on Sunday. Jim presented an audio clip from the president where he said, -Give me two more Democrats in the Senate, and we keep control of the House, we're going to codify Roe v. Wade in January and make it the law of the land.-

Tomorrow citizens across America will cast votes in a very critical mid-term election.--Returning to Crosstalk to bring expert analysis of what's at stake was Mat Staver. Mat is the founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and is host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.-According to Mat, when you look at the U.S. Senate, it's evenly split with the tie-breaker going to V.P. Kamala Harris. It's in the House where Democrats have a majority, however, Mat feels they will lose that majority with this election.--Mat communicated that tomorrow it's not just the candidates that are on the ballot, but it's the values communicated such as marriage between a man and a woman, LGBTQ, whether you'll have puberty blockers given out to children, children having their body parts mutilated, abortion through 9 months, border security, nuclear war, and military mandates. --That's not all. This broadcast is jam packed with information including a story about government agencies working with social media companies to impact what news stories are buried, Mat's comments concerning energy policy, election monitors, and more. --Review this edition of Crosstalk and hear what everyone had to say, including listeners from across America, so that you can make the most informed decision when you vote.

The first quarter hour featured commentary from Congressman Glenn Grothman who represents the 6th congressional district in Wisconsin. He began this broadcast by communicating his thoughts on LGBTQ issues, abortion, Biden grants in support of atheism, and more.--From there, Jim moved into numerous stories making news around the world-----Procedures that involve handing out chemicals to children and doing body mutilation surgeries have cost taxpayers in Pennsylvania nearly 17 million dollars in recent years.----Parents who oppose transgender ideology or irreversible drugs and surgeries for kids may lose custody of their children in the near future. ----Saudi Arabia has shared intelligence with the U.S. that Iran is planning to launch a series of attacks in the region in an effort to distract from domestic protests.----A shocking new report from the British government details that the violent persecution of Christian minority populations continues unabated in Iran.----Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid congratulated Benjamin Netanyahu on his election win.----Social media giants essentially granted government officials the ability to censor and suppress speech in the name of fighting misinformation by providing them direct access to flag posts in an open line of communication with senior executives.----The number of U.S. Navy sailors released from service for refusing the COVID shot nearing 2,000.----President Biden falsely claims that his son Beau died in Iraq.----President Biden claims he spoke with the man who invented insulin. The problem is that this man died before President Biden was born.----A diesel fuel crisis threatens to take the U.S. to the brink of collapse.

The upcoming election will determine the control of Congress, many state legislatures, and governorships. However, a key issue that will be impacted by this election is the matter of abortion. This tie-in to the election is crucial because after the Supreme Court released the Dobbs decision and Roe was overturned, President Biden communicated that Roe is on the ballot. --Returning to Crosstalk to shed light on this issue was Brad Mattes. Brad is the president of Life Issues Institute which was founded in 1991. Brad is the host of Life Issues, a daily radio commentary and has produced numerous radio specials standing for life.--Ever since the Supreme Court abortion draft was leaked on May 2nd, there've been blasts of outrage, anger, arson, threats, destruction and vandalism. On June 24th when the decision was released, the outrage increased. --Since all that took place, there's been good news. Brad noted that since the Dobbs decision, over 10,000 babies have been spared from having their lives taken by the abortion industry.--Brad believes that President Biden is weaponizing the Department of Justice and FBI in order to silence and intimidate pro-life American patriots. The following contrast proves his point well. --Since the leaked document, there have been over 160 acts of domestic terrorism against pro-life entities. This includes fire-bombing and vandalism, yet there hasn't been one single arrest or charge to date.--On the other side of the ledger, on August 31st of last year in Kalamazoo, Michigan, someone set a few fires at the Planned Parenthood clinic. Only 4 days after that occurred, the person responsible was in custody and charged with arson.

As we get ever closer to the November election, one of the things on the minds of many is the topic of election integrity, the threat of voter fraud and the stealing of elections. There are matters taking place around the nation including court rulings that favor election integrity while others cast doubts on it.--So can we vote with confidence in this upcoming election- Hopefully moving forward things will be better. Nonetheless, the guest on this edition of Crosstalk has studied the 2020 election and he discovered evidence of fraud, unconstitutional election law rigging, and other disturbing aspects that appeared designed to take things to a predetermined result.--The guest we're referring to is Robert Knight. Robert is a former Los Angeles Times news editor and columnist for the Washington Times who contributes to other publications as well. Robert has held senior positions in a number of pro-family organizations. He has written several books including The Coming Communist Wave- What Happens If the Left Captures All Three Branches of Government, Liberty on the Brink, and his newest, Crooked- What Really Happened in the 2020 Election and How to Stop the Fraud.--In Robert's research he found that not only was the 2020 election rife with fraud and election law changes, but it was rigged by the media, the deep-state, and others. Even the FBI unconstitutionally went after President Trump and lied about him which led to conjured-up hoaxes and his impeachment. These are just some aspects that were basically a major fraud committed against our nation. All of this is documented in Robert's latest book.

Many times on Crosstalk we've described how children are being targeted in our secular culture. Included in that are those influences that are seeking to lure children away from biblical morality, questioning right vs. wrong or even trying to alienate children away from their parents. Then there's the direct indoctrination into aberrant lifestyles with the intent of normalizing that which is abnormal.--In other words, so many children are simply headed in the wrong direction and need to be reached for Jesus. The problem is, who's going to do it---This Crosstalk introduced listeners to an organization that is focused on reaching children in every nation, every day. --Joining Jim were two guests. The first was John Luck, assistant to the president of Child Evangelism Fellowship and the second was Fred Pry. Fred is assistant vice president for Child Evangelism Fellowship.--After a brief overview concerning Jesse Irvin Overholtzer and the history of Child Evangelism Fellowship -CEF-, John described the critical nature of getting children the Gospel at an early age and making sure they understand it.--During the program John and Fred also talked about- --How is CEF impacting Ukraine--What is -SPAN---An update regarding Good News Clubs in the U.S.-The impact of CEF in public schools and how listeners can become engaged.-What are CEF Christmas Party Clubs---John noted 2 particularly important points. First of all, children are the largest segment of the world's population. Approximately one-third -about 2.5 billion people- are kids under the age of 15. Secondly, they are the most fruitful mission field.

Debbie Wuthnow is president of iVoterGuide and iVoterGuide.com, a division of AFA Action. She spent many years as a stay at home mom while organizing events for her church and community. She holds a master's degree in computer science from Princeton University.--According to Debbie, only 1 in 4 Christians vote in a vast majority of elections and that rate is even lower for primary elections. In fact, only 65- of people, both Christians and non-Christians, are registered to vote nationwide. So only half of Christians are registered and only about half of those will vote.--What are some of the reasons Christians give for not voting- Debbie said there are those who say they don't want to be involved in politics, some don't know much about the candidates and fear making a bad choice, and others don't like either candidate and therefore don't want to choose between the lesser of two evils. There are other excuses as well, but Debbie indicated there are ways to refute them all. So every Christian should be engaged in voting and in the public sphere and iVoterguide is there to help make it easier.--iVoterguide.com is a website that's your one-stop shop for information about elections. It contains what will be on your ballot, when you can vote, how to register, and the location of polling places. However, their real -bread and butter- is offering in-depth, data-driven research on the candidates that can be easily used. For example, this means you'll also be able to see what candidates have actually done, not just what they say they're going to do, who they've supported financially, their scorecard, their endorsements, and more.

Here's a brief look at some of the stories that made the cut for this week's edition of the News Round-Up-----A highly unusual event interrupted a scripted Chinese Communist Party Congress last Saturday. A former party leader was escorted out of the meeting in full public view at the closing session of the congress, appearing uncertain of what was going on.----The FBI has evidence that a former secretary for Hunter Biden was employed by the Chinese Communist Party before working for the Biden family business during the time it struck a lucrative deal with an energy firm at the heart of President Xi Jinping's quest for global economic and political domination.----The cybersecurity firm Mandiant said an influence campaign, suspected of operating in support of China's public interest, is targeting the U.S. by seeking to sow division both between the U.S. and its allies and within the U.S. itself.----Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer might have been sending mixed messages to President Joe Biden when caught talking to the Commander in Chief on a supposed -hot- microphone at an airport strip in Syracuse roughly 48 hours after the Pennsylvania Senate debate between John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz. After the president deplaned, Schumer is reported to have said, -Looks like the debate didn't hurt us too much in Pennsylvania, and we're picking up steam in Nevada.-----The Biden administration indicated this week that it's tracking several threats to the nation's election security infrastructure during the mid-terms by foreign and non-state actors.

Our nation is facing a critical election. At the same time, Christians are called to be both salt and light. As such we must recognize our accountability before God in the way that we handle the stewardship of our vote.--Returning to Crosstalk to remind listeners of the importance of this issue was Sam Rohrer. Sam is the president of the American Pastors Network. He's a former member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives where he was Chair of the House Finance Committee. He's also the speaker on Stand in the Gap Radio and Stand in the Gap Television.--Sam began by explaining the importance of stewardship for Christians. There's stewardship of the environment, the raising of our children, our resources, as well as our intellect. In essence, there's nothing that anyone has that did not come from God. These things are loaned to us and our obligation is to steward them for God's glory. That includes everything we do such as our speech, our actions, and also our vote. So yes, when we stand before God one day, we will give an account for our votes as well.--What about those who believe that as Christians we shouldn't be engaged in earthly affairs such as voting- Sam noted that a true believer in Christ is first and foremost a citizen of the kingdom of heaven. The Bible tells us this. However, as believers we realize we're merely passing through this life and only here for a short time. During that time, part of our responsibility is to be an ambassador for Christ. Do we really perceive of ourselves as ambassadors sent by the King of heaven to reflect a millennial, earthly kingdom that is to come-

At just over 8,000 square miles -a bit smaller than the state of New Jersey-, Israel is a very small nation. So how and why would such a small nation impact the world in such a major way- Viewing that question from Scripture we see that they have impacted the world in the past. However, they're also impacting the world in the present and will be doing so in the future as well. - -There are some remarkable things taking place in Israel and the Middle East right now and joining Jim to discuss this was Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and also heads Prophecy Focus Ministries. He is speaker on the WVCY-TV program -Prophecy Focus- and the radio program, -Prophecy Unfolding.- Prior to his current pastoral ministry, he spent 32 years in law enforcement, including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement in 2019. He's the author of several books including Are You Going to a Better Place-, Daniel's Gap- Paul's Mystery and Tribulation to Triumph- The Olivet Discourse.--So why does a nation with such a small footprint and population -Just under 9 million- have such significance- Dr. Schmidt commented that God made it clear that the Jewish people are his chosen ones and that he created 4 specific unconditional covenants with Israel.--On the current news front, five red heifers have been flown to Israel from Texas. Many in Israel are celebrating that these five heifers have shown up as they've been looking for 2,000 years for perfect, unblemished red heifers. Keep in mind, they have to be 2 years old, never had a yoke on their backs, and were never used for labor.

Dr. Michael Youssef is the founder and president of Leading the Way and founding pastor of the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, GA. He's the author of multiple books including The Third Jihad, Jesus, Jihad and Peace, Never Give Up, Hope for This Present Crisis and his newly released book, Is the End Near---Dr. Youssef began by noting that a lot of people have heard the cries of the end of the world from non-believers or about Christ's second coming from believers, with some even predicting dates. The problem is that at such times there were no signs so those listening who've heard this before got burned and turned a deaf ear to all of this.--Dr. Youssef hopes that believers won't become jaded, but rather will look at this subject from fresh eyes. After all, Jesus told us what would happen before His return. Below are some questions that Dr. Youssef addressed concerning the -labor pains- that we're seeing today and how we should be living in the meantime. After all, there are some things happening today that never happened before. For example---Wars and rumors of wars and how so many nations are beholden to China.--Are things going to get better or is there more to come- At the present time on the world's stage we're seeing anarchy, food supply issues and apostasy from the faith. Such issues are all happening at the same time.--The two questions asked of Jesus in the Olivet Discourse -Matthew 24-. Are they about two distinct events---What comprises true security in a collapsing world- --The lesson to be learned from the parable of the ten virgins.--Listeners supplemented the content of this program with some interesting questions of their own.

Here's a brief listing of highlights from this week's broadcast.----The House Select Committee on January 6th have issue a subpoena to former President Trump in relation to the 2020 riots at the capitol.----New UK Prime Minister has announced that she will resign from that position.----Russian President Vladimir Putin declared martial law in four regions of Ukraine that Moscow annexed last month.----The U.S. government is actively selling potential surveillance devices that are directly manufactured by the Chinese Communist Party, to American military personnel and families on military bases. ----The U.S State Department walked back remarks by President Biden questioning Pakistan's ability to keep its nuclear weapons safe. ----North Korea fired artillery shells near its sea border with South Korea late Tuesday. ----The Biden administration is suing the Arizona governor for not complying with the administration's demand to remove shipping containers filling in the border wall gaps.----The overwhelming majority of border crossers and illegal aliens bused to New York City from Texas by Governor Abbott remain in the city's homeless shelter system that's nearing a breaking point according to Mayor Eric Adams.----A group of House Republicans sent a letter Thursday to Democratic Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser calling on her to reject two bills passed by the DC city council, that would allow illegal immigrants to vote in the nation's capital.----Los Angeles County Prosecutor Eric Neff said Chinese contractors working for a Michigan-based software company had direct control over U.S. election data through an app for poll workers called, PollChief.

The occult is gaining a greater and greater foothold in our culture. What was once considered evil is now being embraced and promoted. --Christianity.com recently reported that witches are being mainstreamed and promoted as cool. A former Disney star is making a documentary to explore her spiritual witchcraft journey.--Sadly, this isn't just happening in secular culture and the occult, it's also infiltrating Christian and other religious institutions. --Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this issue was Dr. David Brown. Dr. Brown is pastor of the First Baptist Church in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. He has a Masters in Theology and PhD in History, specializing in the history of the English Bible. In addition to his study of the English Bible he's also President of Logos Communication Consortium which operates LogosResourcePages.org. He is author of the book, The Dark Side of Halloween and also a research paper, Unmasking the Truth About Witches. He has been a resource used by law enforcement on issues pertaining to Satanism and the occult.--Dr. Brown noted that one of the key reasons the occult is moving into churches is because churches are not teaching sound doctrine. He noted 1 Timothy 4-1----Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.---He also referenced 2 Corinthians 11-14-15 that mentions Satan and how he transforms himself as an angel of light and his ministers as ministers of righteousness. In other words, they're basically counterfeiting the things of God.

Have you noticed how we seem to be moving from crisis to crisis- With each one comes dictatorial-like powers that present themselves with a promise from the government that their solutions are good for your protection and safety. --Is it possible that these various crises are actually false flags that are really about control- --Joining Jim to answer that question was William Federer. William is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. He has authored numerous books including, America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America-, and Socialism- The Real History From Plato to the Present. It has the subtitle, How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.--What is the concept of false flags operations- It's the staging of an event against an innocent party and the first quarter hour of the broadcast looked at this phenomenon as William took listeners through history with various examples.--Another key aspect of discussion concerned Machiavellianism. This is when an individual or group creates or capitalizes on a crisis in order to consolidate control. --Then there's the Hegelian dialectic. It's a triangle where you have a thesis, the opposite corner is an anti-thesis, and the top corner is a synthesis. The thesis is the starting point where everyone's getting along. Next, someone creates the anti-thesis -the crisis- to begin discord. As panic and fear sets in, people become willing to forgo certain freedoms to settle for a synthesis that's only half as bad as the discord. That becomes the new starting point.

Last fall, a video went viral that was from a prestigious university. In the video, students felt socialism was a good thing. They would abolish private property rights, although some indicated that they didn't want their own private property rights taken away.--This is just one example of how a brainwashing, deconstruction and battle is taking place for the minds of students.--Returning to Crosstalk to outline this trend was William Federer. William is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. He has authored numerous books including, America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America-, and Socialism- The Real History From Plato to the Present. It has the subtitle, How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.--As William noted right from the start, this attempt at controlling the minds of young people is hardly new. Hitler, Stalin and Lenin all made their attempts. Even Plato -380BC- noted how democracy was doomed to fail because it was based upon the idea of people having virtue. So if you give them the choice of either giving up their life or giving up their virtue, they'll give up the latter to save the former.--Plato believed that eventually democracy would crater and people will want someone to come along and fix things. Some governor comes along claiming he can fix everything, he just needs some emergency powers. --But how did Plato believe such an individual could stay in power- He'd do so by taking children so they will be unaffected by the habits of their parents.

From major cities to rural communities, record violence is taking place in the U.S. Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, witnessed 750 shootings during the summer of 2022. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Daily Wire referred to Philadelphia as not only being the birthplace of liberty, but now is a cesspool of murder. --According to the Metropolitan Crime Commission, the city of New Orleans has been declared the murder capital of the U.S. for the first half of 2022. --Fox News reported that there were 5 dead in a North Carolina shooting including an off-duty police officer. A suspect is in custody.--Western Journal reported that 2 fathers shot each other's daughters amidst a road rage gun fight.--In addition to the shootings, murders, knifings, car jackings, reckless driving and vandalism, there's also the epidemic of child sex crimes with one arrest per day so far this year with nearly 270 public educators arrested on child sex related crimes in the first 9 months of 2022. --Why is this happening and how can it be stopped- Joining Jim to provide some answers was Pastor Curtis McMiller, the pastor of Heritage Baptist Church in Kenosha. He's the speaker on the radio program, Answer the Call which airs on WVCY-FM.--Why is this happening in our society- Pastor McMiller explained 5 reasons including---A departure from purity which has moved us away from righteousness.-The delay in punishment. -Ecclesiastes 8-11--The depravity of politicians. -Proverbs 29-12--The dereliction of parents. -The disconnect of certain preachers-pastors when it comes to the Word of God. --Hear him expound on all of this, and find out how you can make a difference.

Below are several highlights from Dalton's look at news events from this past week. Stories included-----Former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard announced that she is leaving the Democratic Party because she believes it's become the party of the powerful elite.----Every Democrat in every key mid-term race supports abortion right up to birth.----Kentucky GOP representative James Comer says that if Hunter Biden gets indicted, it should be on major charges and not -small potatoes.-----Donald Trump slams the January 6th committee vote to subpoena him.----The FBI offered Christopher Steel one million dollars if he could prove allegations recorded from his now infamous dossier.----The Justice Department was sued by the Heritage Foundation's oversight project over claims that the DOJ failed to comply with Freedom of Information Act requests for documents that explain why it ignored protests outside the Supreme Court justice's homes earlier this year. ----Documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act request are casting fresh doubts on last year's whipping controversy concerning U.S. border patrol agents.- ---Liberty Counsel says that Pfizer and BioNTec announced that the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization for a booster dose of their Omicron COVID-19 vaccine for children 5-11 years of age even though the companies have not completed the proper trials.----A top Pfizer executive's admission Monday to European lawmakers that the pharmaceutical giant never tested its COVID vaccine to determine if it stopped transmission is raising new questions about the global effort to compel people to get these vaccines.

Last month, Alex Newman was the featured speaker at a VCY America rally in southeast Wisconsin. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He's senior editor for The New American and contributes to other publications as well. He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He is Founder of Liberty Sentinel.--In part 2 of this presentation by Alex, he discussed people like Yuval Harari -the author of the book Homo Deus- and others who believe we are acquiring divine powers and will become like God. --The Hebrews often times worshiped the things that they made and from what Alex explained, apparently things haven't changed much because the architects of the Great Reset seem to worship their creation of artificial intelligence which they hope will help get us to that point of being like God.--President Biden is quoted on food shortages and how they are on the way. No need to worry because the World Economic Forum has a solution. They want you to eat the food of the future-bugs---Alex then moved along to touch on the following---The move toward an in-between stage of world government known as regionalization.-Audio from Henry Kissinger who openly admitted to what he believed was the need for a New World Order.-In the memoirs of David Rockefeller he said that some see him and his family as conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global, political and economic structure. He admitted that if this is the charge, he stands guilty and is proud of it.--What does God think about all of this-

Last month, Alex Newman was the featured speaker at a VCY America rally in southeast Wisconsin. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He's senior editor for The New American and contributes to other publications as well. He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He is Founder of Liberty Sentinel.--Is the threat of a Great Reset a conspiracy theory as some may allege- Alex played audio from numerous people who are on the cutting edge of this movement. Some personalities heard from include---Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, feels that the COVID-19 pandemic proved that our old systems are inadequate for the 21st Century. So as we head into the 4th industrial revolution, we need a Great Reset. -Antonio Guterres, Head of the United Nations, talked about how wonderful the Great Reset is. --King Charles also expressed his enthusiasm for change.-Bulgarian Communist Kristalina Georgieva, Head of the International Monetary Fund, is also excited about the Great Reset. --As Alex noted, this is no conspiracy theory because a conspiracy assumes secrecy. Since these people readily admit to what they feel is the need for a Great Reset, what else are they admitting----Alex looks at some basic biblical principles and contrasts them with a quote from the Danish Environment Minister describing how life could change for her by 2030. After all, under the Great Reset, you'll own nothing.--Alex presented much more which you'll discover when you listen to this broadcast of Crosstalk.

Under the guise of LGBTQ- activism, the calendar is being exploited again. We've been through pride month, now it's LGBTQ history month, while today has been declared National Coming Out Day. With these days of recognition comes an avalanche of behaviors, legislation and other societal changes that are clearly unscriptural. --Returning to Crosstalk for the latest news concerning LGBTQ activism was Peter LaBarbera. Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth. Jim had Peter comment on the following news items.--National -Coming Out- Day. Originally this was about simply coming out as homosexual. According to Peter, the significance is that this was a strategy. Homosexual activists knew that the effect would be to reduce the opposition by making people less likely to speak out against homosexuality as well as redefining what's considered normal. The result is that all these years later it's metastasized to include those -coming out- and identifying as being one of the many other perverse identities society now recognizes.--An adult drag queen is identifying as a child. So how can you prosecute someone who identifies as an 8 year old if they molest another 8 year old- --Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin has introduced 2 pieces of legislation. One is H.R.9070. This would establish within the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of American LGBTQ- History and Culture. It already has 64 co-sponsors. He's also introduced H.R.9071 that would establish a commission to study the potential creation of a national museum of LGBTQ- history and culture.--There's much more that's examined, and as you'll see, it's all about normalizing perversion.

Randy Thomasson is the founder and president of SaveCalifornia.com, Campaign for Children and Families, championing family-friendly policies and constitutional liberties in California.--Jim began by reminding listeners that California was once the state that elected Ronald Reagan to be the governor. What's happened since then---Randy responded by noting that large population states like New York and California have been losing people plus there's been the effect of the right to unionize movement -if you're a government worker-. That last point opened Pandora's box, Democratic governors expanded on that, and now the largest contributors to Democratic candidates are the nation's largest unions.--So why does Randy believe voters are so foolish- It's because they're believing lies. These lies come from people who will do anything for money and are interested in power over principle. This includes the abortionists, the perversity crowd, the environmentalists, liberal attorneys and the Hollywood crowd. All support and give money to the Democrat cause. Also, when you've had over six decades of Democrat rule in the California legislature, he believes that's what's causing all the suffering and why so many people are moving out. The state continues to vote Democrat because people don't connect the cause to the effect.--The answer- Randy believes the church must rise up and become a more potent force and that if the churches would vote and vote righteously, people could take California back.--Learn more, and hear what listeners had to say, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Here's a brief look at some of the stories that Dalton presented for listeners this week-----Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, President Biden warned of potential nuclear -Armageddon.-----Russia has deployed a -city killer- submarine to the Arctic Circle and mobilized a convoy of military vehicles responsible for the transport of Moscow's nuclear arsenal.----The Biden administration is purchasing a drug supply to treat radiation sickness.----Presidential draw-downs for military aid to Ukraine has left the U.S. with dangerously low levels of weapons stockpiles.----A rapid escalation of the war in Ukraine has followed Russia's annexation on Donetsk and other cities across the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. ----The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were bombed. ----Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested fast-track approval of Ukraine's application to become a NATO member.----The Biden administration defended its decision to discharge nearly 20,000 healthy U.S. troops for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine despite dangerously low recruitment numbers. Dalton provided audio from host Brian Kilmeade, who took Admiral John Kirby to task on this issue on a Fox - Friends broadcast.----Amid the vaccine mandates, complaints of -woke- policies and indoctrination and a tight jobs market, the Army fell 25- short of its recruitment goals this year.----Dalton read Pastor John MacArthur's open letter to Governor Gavin Newsom of California.

The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for detaining all those who are entering the U.S. illegally, yet the Customs and Border Patrol recently disclosed that more than a half-million illegal migrants they apprehended in the fiscal year that just ended, were released into the country. The Center for Immigration Studies indicates that about 2.2 million aliens have exploited the Biden administration's border policies. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of -got-aways.- Since they got away, no one really knows the numbers that are slipping through, who they are and where they are.--As all of this has taken place, according to our guest, a South American police chief believes there will be a terror wave in the U.S. --Bringing listeners the details was Michael Letts. Michael is the founder, president - CEO of In-Vest USA, a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs.--Since we keep hearing about illegal migrants and how they are affecting things at the border, does that mean the rest of the nation doesn't need to be concerned- Michael strongly disagrees because he believes what is happening is not happenstance. Instead, it's been carefully orchestrated for generations with the goal being the demise of the United States.--What enemy nations of the U.S. -such as Venezuela and other communist countries- are doing is taking advantage of President Biden's open border policy. This means they can empty their prisons and send them in massive migration caravans to our borders.

There are attempts under way to take control of many aspects of our lives. All of these are critical to disrupt society and make us totally dependent upon government.--Exposing what's taking place and how you can get engaged, Crosstalk welcomed back 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. He is author of Sustainable- The War on Free Enterprise, Private Property and Individuals and Erase, a political novel.

There's much going on in our nation that's causing disruption, confusion, chaos and intimidation in order to provoke one against another. We see this in various -targets- that Jim pointed to. --For example, when speaking before the Democratic National Committee Women's Leadership Forum, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that aid for hurricane Ian would be given based upon equity, hinting that people of low income and color would be the first to receive such aid.--President Biden personally called a Coast Guard rescue swimmer to thank him for his heroic work during hurricane Ian because he saved a wheelchair bound woman and her husband. Ironically, he's set to be kicked out of the Guard due to his vaccine status.--Under the guise of inclusivity, we have allowed books to be available for children to read that are clearly pornographic. On the other hand, Jill Biden believes all books should be in the library because -in America- we don't ban books. Jim provided audio of her comments. --Members of a Vermont Women's high school volleyball team have been banned from utilizing their own locker room following a dispute over a transgender athlete using the facility. --Review this edition of Crosstalk and you can hear other examples of targeting that deal with topics such as pediatric gender clinics, abortion, illegal border crossings, targeting conservative news sites, as well as thoughts and comments from listeners.

Some of you may remember the song written in 1907 called, School Days. A popular part of the song went like this---School days, school days,-Dear old Golden Rule days.-Readin' and 'riting and 'rithmetic,-taught to the tune of the hick'ry stick.--The education system has come a long way since those days as students today are being heavily indoctrinated in socialism, critical race theory and sex education on steroids with new definitions of what is male, female, marriage and family. Is all this by accident or by design---Joining Jim to provide answers was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He's senior editor for The New American and contributes to other publications as well. He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He is Founder of Liberty Sentinel.--Alex began by noting that the United Nations believes that education, brainwashing and public schooling are critical mechanisms by which they will bring their New World Order agenda to fruition. You can see this in the U.N.'s international agreements. It's been going on for over a century and is getting progressively worse.--He then discussed the people and history behind public education and how these people set it up with the specific purpose of turning children away from God, the Bible, Christ and those principles that our nation was founded upon. This includes socialist Robert Owens, Horace Mann -who wanted the Bible out of the classroom- and John Dewey, the man responsible for religious humanism.

Here's the lineup of stories from the early portion of this week's program-----The governor of the State of Tennessee signed a proclamation declaring today, September 30th, as a day of prayer, humility and fasting in that state. The Freedom from Religion Foundation called this proclamation, unamerican. ----The southwest coast of Florida has been forever transformed by the devastating winds and storm surge of Hurricane Ian. 21 people are believed to have been killed. It's now taking aim at South Carolina.----Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar indicated that voting Democrat can help stop climate change and hurricane disasters.----The Nord Stream pipeline that runs from Russia to Germany was sabotaged Wednesday resulting in 3 leaks. ----The CIA warned Germany of possible attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines weeks ago. ----Former President Trump addressed the seriousness of the sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 pipelines, warning that such an act could be sufficient to trigger World War III.----On Wednesday, the U.S. embassy in Moscow began urging Americans with dual U.S.-Russian citizenship to leave Russia or risk being forced into Russia's escalating war with Ukraine. ----Vladimir Putin signed an order today that will officially -in Russia's view- annex 4 Ukrainian regions under the rule of the Russian federation.----Russia has begun to expand its influence in Latin America.----The U.S. Army's first transgender officer has been indicted for attempting to pass medical information to the Russians in a bid to aid Vladimir Putin's campaign in Ukraine.----Iran's protests show no signs of slowing anger toward the morality police.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is the president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation, a non-profit public charity. Since February 2020, she has been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author-editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment- Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life.--According to Worldometers, there have been over 98.1 million coronavirus cases in the U.S. From that they indicate that there have been 1,083,798 deaths. Then according to the October 2022 Consumer Reports magazine, anywhere from 10-30- of individuals who got COVID-19 had symptoms long after they first became ill. Also, they report that according to the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, as many as 27 million or more people are being affected by Long Haul COVID-19. --Dr. Vliet takes issue with these numbers partly because she believes that what many doctors are telling their patients is that what they claim is Long COVID is actually complications and side effects from the inflammation, micro blood clotting and immune suppression from the COVID shots. She also indicated that these 3 factors were engineered into the COVID virus. --She noted that there are those who've died after the shot having had strokes, heart attacks, the flaring of autoimmune disorders and cancers that are getting out of control. All of these are known complications of the COVID shots. In the midst of this she believes many doctors are wearing blinders due to the fact they're not doing the necessary blood tests and imaging studies that would clarify the diagnosis.

Twila Brase is president and co-founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom. Twila is a registered nurse, a certified public health nurse and author of the eight-time award-winning book, Big Brother in the Exam Room- The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records. She's the speaker on the daily -Health Freedom Minute- heard on stations across the nation.--On September 18th, on CBS television's 60 Minutes program, President Joe Biden declared that the COVID pandemic is over. If it is over, what are the ramifications---Twila commented that if the pandemic is over, then there are things that go away such as the emergency use authorizations. So if we don't have a pandemic, yet the government lifts the emergency declarations, then the EUA's would go away. There are EUA's on all the injections, masks, and many other things yet they're being imposed even though they may not work well or haven't been fully tested and they couldn't be mandated if they were no longer authorized.--She went on to note that there's lots of money behind all this. One example she gave is hospitals that are going after COVID funds and no one wants to -shut off the spigot.- --Audio clips are featured from President Biden and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who attempted to explain Biden's comments that the pandemic is over. You'll also hear from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Christine Anderson of the European Union, along with the emotional testimony of a pediatric nurse who spoke before the San Diego Country Board of Supervisors.--The president may believe the pandemic is over but is it- Does the administration as a whole want it to be over- What's the latest on Long COVID-

Sharron Albertson is the director of Life Chain in Texas.--Life Chain began in Yuba City, California, in 1987 by Royce Dunn who was praying for a way to get the abortion clinics out of his area.--What exactly is a Life Chain- According to the Life Chain mission statement- ---A Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful, public witness of pro-life Americans -and Canadians- standing in remembrance of 62 million lives lost to abortion, praying for our nation, for people in crisis situations and for a permanent end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children, hurts women and men and that the church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.---This broadcast also dealt with several accounts concerning the story of Mark Houck, a well known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor and father who was allegedly the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice sponsored raid and arrest. -There is some dispute among news sources concerning some facts of the case, such as whether a S.W.A.T. team was involved or not.- The arrest is said to be over alleged Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act -F.A.C.E.- violations. - -Jim then contrasted this case with the obvious silence from law enforcement over the many incidents of vandalism, graffiti and threats against pro-life pregnancy care centers and individuals.--Jim also opened the phone lines so that listeners could share their concerns.

Below is a sample of stories Jim presented to listeners from the news desk-----The House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act and rewrite election rules to benefit Democrats in presidential contests.----New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit on Wednesday accusing former President Trump and 3 of his adult children and executives at his business empire of fraudulent financial practices that she claimed occurred over the course of more than a decade.----The House passed the Invest to Protect Act that's been said to be a dangerous bill. If it would pass the Senate, it would allow the DOJ to provide grants to police departments of their choosing while getting their claws into several areas of local policing.----The Defund the Police agenda launched by leftists across America only a few years ago has had some serious impacts already. According to a report in the Daily Mail, a retired chief said response times are longer when there are fewer officers and there's not enough time for training when they're working overtime.----New Orleans has overtaken St. Louis as the murder capital of America.----A survey of San Francisco residents conducted over the summer showed that nearly two-thirds of them believe the city is going downhill. ----Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot shot back at McDonald's CEO for comments that he made about surging crime in Chicago where the fast-food chain is headquartered.----An accused, jilted madman who flew into an axe-wielding rage at a lower east-side New York McDonald's was released without bail at his arraignment.----Conservatives succeeded in canceling a Disney-themed drag show.

Our culture is becoming increasingly hostile toward Christianity. We're told to -get with the times- or to keep our religion within the four walls of our churches. --The guest on this Crosstalk indicated that as the intolerance toward Christianity increases, this is not a time to be silent nor to hide. In fact, he believes it's imperative that we stand up for biblical truth and expose the works of darkness.--To guide listeners in that effort, Crosstalk welcomed back Dr. Erwin Lutzer. Dr. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the senior pastor for 36 years. He's the speaker on the radio programs Running to Win and Songs in the Night. He is a speaker and an award winning author of several books with titles including- The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, Life Changing Bible Verses You Should Know, We Will Not Be Silenced, and the newly released, No Reason to Hide.--Dr. Lutzer began by noting that we as Christians didn't go looking for a culture war. This war is on our doorstep and we can't avoid it. It's in our law, our schools, businesses and media and he encouraged listeners to stand strong.--So what's the difference between this latest book and his previous effort -We Will Not Be Silenced-- Both books are about the culture but this latest one has new chapters not covered in the previous book. For example, one chapter is called- -Will We Expose the Greatest Lie That is Our Nation's Most Cherished Delusion.- This has to do with the ascendancy of the self. Elsewhere he covers diversity, equity and inclusion and how these work against us. There's information on the global reset, the history of racism, and so much more.
