The Three Quivering Questions of Modern Society:How can I achieve my goals with less effort?How can I achieve my goals in less time?How and where can I find pleasure?These are the “How to…” questions.(I call them the Quivering Questions because they contain an anxious energy similar to that of an addict looking for his or her next “fix.”)Shortcuts, pro tips, life hacks, and insider secrets are snippets that exist to tell you “How to…”Schools, seminars, master mind groups, and countless consultants exist to tell you “How to…”Millions of books and Youtube videos have been written and produced to tell you “How to…”The answers to the “How to” questions are always Informational.The Three Ancient Questions That Echo Within Us:Who Am I? (Identity)Why Am I Here? (Purpose)What Must I Overcome? (Adventure)Those are the “Fascination” questions.Fascination is the drive behind our search for God and our hunger for entertainment.Faith and entertainment seem incongruent until you realize that both of them fascinate us because they change our mood and lift us higher.The answers to the “Fascination” questions are always Relational.When you understand these 6 questions, you understand the essence, attraction, and purpose of social media.Youtube offers only “How to” videos and “Fascination” videos.Likewise, every book is either a “How to” book or a “Fascination” book.Television shows are either “How to” or “Fascination.” Movies and music lend themselves mostly to fascination.I told you, “Fascination is the drive behind our search for God and our hunger for entertainment.”When we contemplate our existence and the possibility of God, we ask,Who Am I?Why Am I Here?What Must I Overcome?Your answers to those questions will determine your faith, whether it be Judeo-Christian, Hindu, Moslem, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, or one of the many other belief systems with millions of followers.When entertainment elevates our mood, our fascination comes from identity reinforcement.The books, movies, and television shows that we love are the ones that show us a reflection of ourselves.When we identify with a character, we vicariously experience the challenges they face. These challenges are known as the plot or the “narractive arc.”We likewise experience the evolution of that character when they are changed by those challenges. This is known as the “character arc.”The characters with whom we identify remind us of who we are.Identity reinforcement is the essence of affinity groups.An affinity group is any group of people who are attracted to the same thing.Every religion is an affinity group.The fans of a sports team are an affinity group.People who follow fashion are an affinity group.If you like jazz music, or hip-hop, or Jeeps or NASCAR or backpacking or sewing or science fiction or romance or current events or capitalism or gossip, you are in an affinity group.Mass media and social media exist to attract and serve affinity groups.The size of a business opportunity is largely determined by size of the affinity group it serves.If you are an electrician, a plumber, or an HVAC technician, your affinity groups will be people who like and need electricity, running water, and comfortable temperatures.

The president of the largest Christian broadcasters association is calling attention to a spiritual battle he believes is raging in our world today. We're all part of this battle whether or not we realize it or believe it. This battle is not being waged in tiny, dark corners, it is front and center: in our schools, in our halls of government, in our courts, and across our media. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Troy Miller, President and CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), shares his belief that we are in a global battle for the Judeo-Christian worldview. And just like the Bible warns, we are wrestling not against flesh and blood, "but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

When it comes to protecting the future of American Exceptionalism, it's the Judeo-Christian worldview that matters most. That's because without God, there can be no God-given rights and liberties. Remove God, and all that's left is government-granted — and remember, what government grants it can also take away. Troy Miller, CEO of NRB, talks about the importance of the Judeo-Christian worldview and the battle that's confronting America right now.

Allie dives into the heated debate over the term “Judeo-Christian” after a viral X post by Wes Huff sparked intense discussion.

“Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Show us your unfailing love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.” (Psalm 85:6–7 NLT) July 2026 is an ideal time for reflection, for looking back at the 250-year history of our nation, and for celebrating God’s work in bringing us to this point. But it’s also a time to look forward and ask some sobering questions. So, here goes. What is the future of the United States of America? Are we doomed to go the way that so many other once-great nations have gone? Is America headed to the ash heap of history? Are our greatest days behind us, or could they still be ahead? Is there any hope for America? None of us can answer these questions with any certainty, but we know this much: America is not the superpower of the last days. The greatest nation on earth is conspicuous in its absence from the world stage in the end-times scenario given to us in the Bible. America is not the first, nor will it be the last, nation to rise and fall. Every nation’s days are numbered; America is no exception. The Bible introduces us to several formidable empires, countries, and cities. Egypt reigned supreme in the book of Exodus. Assyria played a key role in the history of Israel and Judah. Babylon led the people of Judah into captivity. Persia allowed them to return. Greece left an indelible mark on the world. Yet all these empires eventually learned the same lesson: There is no such thing as too big to fail. Perhaps the biggest cautionary tale from history is the Roman Empire, which provides the backdrop for the Gospels. Rome was once the mightiest empire on the face of the earth. But it collapsed internally before it was conquered externally. Historian Will Durant, in his book on Rome’s history, Caesar and Christ, said, “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of Rome’s decline lay in her people, her morals….” That’s where the alarm bells start to sound for the United States. We as a country are diligent in guarding against our enemies on the outside, but we should be just as diligent in guarding ourselves from within. One stark difference between Rome and the United States is that our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. Unfortunately, we’ve strayed from the original vision of our founding fathers, the vision that produced our nation. What was once “freedom of religion” has now become “freedom from religion.” We’ve succeeded in removing God from our schools, sporting events, public venues, and workplaces. And now we need God’s intervention. We saw many turn to the Lord after 9/11. Remember those packed churches and prayer vigils on street corners? Remember the members of Congress spontaneously singing “God Bless America”? These memories give me hope that there could be at least one more great revival in America’s future. The psalmist wrote, “Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Show us your unfailing love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation” (Psalm 85:6–7 NLT). If we don’t have revival, I believe that judgment is inevitable. Peter Marshall, former chaplain to the U.S. Senate, once said, “The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration.” Let’s pray that our nation chooses wisely.

Guest host Gary Varvel marks America's 250th anniversary by asking whether the republic can endure another 250 years. Beginning with Abraham Lincoln's warning that America's greatest danger would arise from within, Varvel connects the nation's political survival to its moral and spiritual foundations. He draws on the parable of the wheat and the weeds, the writings of the Founders, and examples from American history to argue that prosperity and secularization have left the country vulnerable to cultural division and institutional decay.Varvel traces what he sees as a long campaign of ideological subversion through the ideas of Antonio Gramsci, Saul Alinsky, Cloward and Piven, and Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov. His prescription is not merely political: churches must awaken, families must take responsibility for their children's education, Christians must engage public life with courage and grace, and believers must use modern media to share biblical truth. He closes by calling for prayer, repentance, civic involvement, and renewed confidence in America's Judeo-Christian heritage.

What made America different from every kingdom that came before it? Bestselling author and American Minute founder Bill Federer joins Refining Rhetoric for our Celebrating 250 Years series to trace the improbable, providential story of the American experiment. From the invention of writing in ancient Sumer to the empire on which the sun never set, Federer explains how humanity's default form of government has always been kings—until ancient Israel became the first literate, self-governing people in history, and America flipped the flow of power from the top down to "We the People." Discover the providential moments most Americans have never heard: the mysterious fog that shrouded Washington's midnight retreat across the East River, and the last-minute discovery of Benedict Arnold's plot to hand West Point to the British. Federer unpacks "the laws of nature and of nature's God," why the Founders saw no war between science and faith, and how the First Amendment was written to keep the federal government out of the states' religious affairs, not to scrub God from public life. He charts the nation's drift from a Judeo-Christian past into secular "neutral" and toward an aggressive Islamic future, exposes the psychological "psyops" shaping kids through social emotional learning, and calls families to anchor their children's identity in Christ. If you want to remember why America is worth defending, and to leave your own testimony of what God can do again, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Carl reflects on a summer that showed America at its best, and warns about a current running beneath it. Fresh off the 250th anniversary of the United States and a World Cup that drew hundreds of thousands of visitors, Carl shares what he's been hearing and why it's pushed him to speak out. Visitors from Europe and beyond left saying America was nothing like the country described in their home press. But alongside that pride, Carl points to a darker undercurrent: rising antisemitism and growing sympathy for communism among younger Americans, which he traces to decades of educational failure. A generation raised without strong historical literacy, he argues, has no framework to evaluate the ideologies it's being handed. Drawing on his memory of standing in Berlin in November 1989 as the Wall came down, Carl runs through the twentieth century's record on communism (the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, Cambodia, China) and argues it ended in mass death everywhere it took root. He revisits Joseph McCarthy, saying history has vindicated warnings once dismissed, and draws a parallel to how small, organized groups, from the Bolsheviks to the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany, seized control of nations despite representing a small minority. Carl turns to the present: a Democratic Party platform he says now includes eliminating the Senate, restructuring the Supreme Court, ending private property rights, and slashing defense spending; concerns about election integrity, citing a recent Los Angeles race; and the decision to eliminate Iran's nuclear capability as a necessary check against extremism. He connects the erosion of Judeo-Christian foundations, including churches he feels have drifted from scripture, to a broader loss of moral clarity. Carl closes on a personal note: rather than despair, he's taking his grandson to lunch to talk through what the younger generation actually knows, framing it as a responsibility every American shares. Invoking the Founding Fathers ("we stand together, or we hang alone"), he asks listeners what they're going to do to pass on the truth.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Faith, Freedom, and the Fight for America The Raising Expectations team welcomes attorney, retired Army colonel, and author Kurt Schlichter for a wide-ranging discussion on faith, American leadership, cultural change, national security, education, civic responsibility, and the role Christians can play in shaping the nation's future. Friends, We are thrilled to have our longtime friend Kurt Schlichter back with us this Monday night, to share his wisdom and enthuse us all about our great nation! He is an outstanding author, political pungent, United States Army captain, teacher at the National War College in Washington D. C. and renown lawyer. He is a leading speaker on CPAC and highly respected for his ability to powerfully present the common sense and Judeo- Christian principals upon which we stand as a nation! His books are best sellers and “WE'LL BE BACK: the fall and rise of America” has made everyone think again as we watch America rise before our eyes with President Donald Trump and his incredible Cabinet! Boldness and appropriate transparency has aided in making us proud to be Americans once again! Kurt Schlichter has value driven conservative insights that are true and continue to inspire us as a nation! You won't want to miss the show so tell your friends and tune in and watch… Guest Spotlight Kurt Schlichter returns to Raising Expectations as a respected political commentator, attorney, retired U.S. Army colonel, and bestselling author known for combining military experience, legal insight, and cultural commentary. Throughout the conversation, Kurt discusses current events through the lenses of patriotism, faith, and public service while sharing perspectives drawn from his writing career, military background, and observations of American culture. Although the conversation covers numerous political topics, it repeatedly returns to the importance of personal responsibility, moral conviction, and active civic engagement. Faith, Freedom, and the State of the Nation Pastor Joe Schofield opens the program by reaffirming the show's commitment to faith in Jesus Christ, love for America, and confidence that God continues to work in the lives of those who trust Him. After introducing the panel and welcoming returning guest Kurt Schlichter, the conversation turns toward the current condition of the nation and the challenges facing American society. Kurt describes himself as optimistic about the country's future, arguing that many Americans have become dissatisfied with existing political and cultural institutions and are seeking meaningful change. The discussion establishes a hopeful yet candid tone as the panel explores leadership, public policy, and the responsibilities of citizenship from a Christian perspective. Leadership, Faith, and Public Service One of the conversation's earliest themes centers on political leadership and personal transformation. Kurt shares his view that President Donald Trump has pursued significant policy changes by challenging assumptions about what government can and cannot accomplish. Beyond politics, he also reflects on what he believes has been a noticeable change in Trump's personal faith following the assassination attempt against him, describing it as an example of how life-changing experiences can deepen spiritual awareness. The panel discusses the distinction between identifying with religion and developing an authentic relationship with God, emphasizing Bible reading, prayer, and continued spiritual growth over religious labels alone. Throughout the exchange, the speakers encourage listeners to pursue faith as a daily relationship rather than merely a public identity. Stories Shape Culture The discussion shifts toward Kurt's work as a novelist and his belief that culture is influenced not only through politics but also through storytelling. He introduces several of his books, including his upcoming novel American Warlord, and explains why he believes conservatives and Christians should actively create fiction, entertainment, and cultural works that reflect their values instead of simply criticizing existing media. Kurt argues that many ordinary Americans who work hard, raise families, practice their faith, and contribute positively to their communities are rarely represented in modern entertainment. For him, participating in culture is another way of preserving important values and broadening public conversation. Christians and Civic Responsibility The panel repeatedly returns to the role Christians play within American society. Pastor Joe expresses concern that many believers remain disengaged from public life or become informed only shortly before elections, while Kurt encourages greater participation in civic affairs. Rather than viewing political involvement as separate from faith, the speakers suggest that informed citizenship can become an extension of personal stewardship and responsibility. They discuss voting, public discourse, and the importance of remaining engaged in issues affecting local communities and the nation while seeking to act with integrity and conviction. Ideology, Media, and Competing Worldviews As the discussion broadens, Kurt shares his concerns about socialism, ideological movements, higher education, and parts of the modern media landscape. He argues that many people naturally seek purpose and meaning, and when religious faith is absent, they may replace it with political or cultural ideologies. The panel also discusses contemporary debates surrounding identity, entertainment, journalism, and public institutions, expressing concern that some voices discourage open dialogue or promote ideas they believe conflict with biblical values. Throughout these exchanges, the hosts frequently contrast cultural trends with what they view as enduring principles rooted in Christian faith and personal accountability. National Security and America's Place in the World Drawing upon his military experience, Kurt offers an extended discussion of American foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran, China, Russia, Ukraine, and broader geopolitical strategy. He explains how diplomatic, informational, military, and economic tools can work together to accomplish long-term strategic objectives, suggesting that effective leadership requires coordinating all four rather than relying solely upon military force. The panel also considers changing international alliances, energy policy, economic pressure, and global competition, viewing these developments through the broader lens of national security and America's future role on the world stage. Education, Skilled Trades, and the Dignity of Work Another major theme focuses on education and the changing value of higher learning. Kurt questions whether many universities continue to provide practical value, expressing concern about rising student debt, ideological influence, and the growing availability of alternative forms of learning. The panel discusses vocational education, skilled trades, apprenticeships, and technical careers, emphasizing that meaningful work should never be measured solely by academic credentials. Through stories about contractors, tradespeople, military service, and everyday professions, the conversation highlights the dignity of honest labor and the importance of respecting people for the quality of their work rather than their educational pedigree. Remembering the America That Built Community The discussion becomes more personal as Kurt reflects on his childhood in California, neighborhood friendships, books, television, family life, and the experiences that shaped previous generations. While acknowledging the benefits of technological advancement, including artificial intelligence, the panel also expresses concern that some aspects of community life, childhood independence, and shared cultural experiences have become more difficult to preserve. Rather than rejecting modern technology, the speakers encourage thoughtful use of new tools while continuing to cultivate strong families, meaningful relationships, and local communities. Standing for Truth with Courage As the conversation concludes, the panel returns to the role of Christians in an increasingly divided culture. Dr. Paul Hall expresses appreciation for Kurt's optimism and willingness to speak openly about difficult issues, while the hosts encourage believers to stand firmly for truth without fear or embarrassment. Pastor Ron Greer closes the program with a prayer asking for God's protection, wisdom, and continued guidance over Kurt, his family, and his work. The episode ends by reminding listeners that faith, courage, service, and hope remain essential qualities for those seeking to strengthen both their communities and their nation.

Alex Jones and Sneako recently engaged in a religious-slop production that successfully painted, because of Sneako, Muslims as stupid, and because of Alex, Muslim detractors as ignorant bigots obsessed with their own religious biases. Nearly every talking point was an inversion of what the Quran and Hadiths actually say, though most Americans are uninterested in context due to a multi-decades long Judeo-Christian propaganda campaign relegating Muslims to caves with a holy book considered more useless than used toilet paper. Accusations against Islam are most often projections of Jewish or Christian guilt, if they're not outright entirely fabricated. Overall, they are un-unique in the long annals of human history. Furthermore, most would be surprised to learn that Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin--respectively the fathers of the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, and American citizens--were not Christians by any modern standard. They were primarily rational theists who rejected the divinity of Jesus.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

Without that foundation, there would not be an America. It is as simple as that.” I think he's right and here's why...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 169 What are the foundations of "the West" as we understand it today? Many of us land on a hyphenated term that finds itself under attack in the world today: our foundations are Judeo-Christian. But then, we also must admit the relevance of the seismic shifts in thought and political organization of the various movements we retroactively recognize as "the" Enlightenment (really: the various Enlightenments). That much is undeniable. The correct expression of these currents, which incorporated into a Christian ethic a great deal of "Enlightenment" thinking and also a revitalization of much Judaic thinking, arose on the American continent more or less uniquely. Thus, "the West" and the "Western Civilization" that we defend today is not just Judeo-Christian or "Enlightenment" but specifically Judeo-Christian-American.

In this episode, Mark Levin engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Yael Eckstein, the esteemed leader of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this episode delves into the profound historical ties that bind America and Israel. From the early days of the Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom, to the founding fathers who were deeply influenced by Jewish teachings, the episode highlights how Judeo-Christian values have shaped the very foundation of America. Yael points out that many of the Founding Fathers, including John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, were inspired by the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing the significant role that Jewish culture played in America's independence movement.The conversation also touches upon the current state of affairs, where demonstrations against both America and Israel are becoming increasingly common. Yael shares her experiences witnessing these protests firsthand, noting how the values that unite both nations are often under attack. Despite this, she emphasizes the resilience of the Israeli people and the strength of their bond with America.Moreover, the episode addresses the importance of education and historical literacy in understanding the relationship between these two nations. Yael argues that many young people today lack knowledge about the history of Israel and its connection to America, which is crucial for fostering a deeper appreciation of their shared values.

Along the way, they discuss the Ark Encounter, biblical literalism, and why Israel's appreciation for America reflects more than politics.

Moses - Lawgiver and Nation Builder In this sermon, we explore the profound role of Moses not just as a liberator but as a lawgiver who transformed the Israelites from a wandering people into a nation under God. This transformation is grounded in the biblical narrative found in Exodus 19:1-6 and Exodus 20:1-17, where Moses receives the law from God at Mount Sinai. The Judeo-Christian Foundation The sermon begins by questioning and affirming the Judeo-Christian roots of Western civilization and the United States. The speaker emphasizes that biblical morality, as given through Moses, underpins the nation's founding principles. This foundation is crucial as it sets the stage for understanding how laws were established to maintain freedom and order. Moses: From People to Nation Exodus 19:1-6: Here, the Israelites arrive at the desert of Sinai, marking a pivotal moment where Moses meets with God to receive the law. This encounter is not just about legal codes but about forming a covenant that would unite the Israelites as a nation. Exodus 20:1-17: This passage introduces the Ten Commandments, the moral laws written in stone by God's own finger. These commandments are the bedrock for Israel's nationhood and serve as a guide for moral and civil governance. The Covenant and Its Importance The sermon highlights two covenants: The Abrahamic Covenant: A unilateral promise from God to Abraham, establishing a nation through grace. The Mosaic Covenant: A bilateral agreement requiring the Israelites to obey God's laws to maintain their freedom and identity as a nation. The speaker underscores that these covenants were not merely historical artifacts but living principles that shaped Israel and continue to influence modern governance and freedom. The Role of the Ten Commandments The Ten Commandments are divided into two categories: Love and Honor God: The first four commandments focus on worship, reverence, and the sacredness of God's name and the Sabbath. Love and Honor People: The remaining six commandments guide interpersonal relationships, emphasizing life, justice, and respect for others. These principles are echoed in Matthew 22:37-40, where Jesus summarizes the law as loving God and loving one's neighbor. Lessons for Today The sermon draws parallels between the founding of Israel and the United States, arguing that both were built on divine principles. The speaker cites historical figures like John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, who recognized the necessity of a moral foundation for sustaining a republic. John Adams: Emphasized that the Constitution is only adequate for a moral and religious people. Benjamin Franklin: Warned that maintaining a republic requires adherence to moral laws. Conclusion The message concludes with a call to action: as individuals and as a nation, we must embrace the freedom given to us by God through faith in Jesus Christ. The laws and principles established by God through Moses are not just ancient texts but living guides for maintaining freedom and justice today. The sermon ends with a prayer of gratitude for the freedoms enjoyed and a reminder of the responsibility to uphold them through faith and moral integrity. For further reflection on these themes, consider reading Exodus 19 and Exodus 20 in full to understand the foundation of the laws that shaped a nation and continue to influence us today.

-250 years of God-given liberty — and why, for the believer, our greatest chapter is still ahead.NOTE: The audio might not sound too good because this was a pop-up live I did at around 11:00pm on July 3rd. Kind of sounds like an old radio show! Blessings!Two hundred and fifty years ago, fifty-six men pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor on a firm reliance on divine Providence. This nation was built on the conviction that our rights come from God — not from kings, not from congresses, not from majorities. That foundation is worth honoring, and on this Fourth of July, we do. But honoring the past is not the same as living in it. In this broadcast, we trace the Judeo-Christian bedrock of the American founding, hear what Adams and Tocqueville understood about liberty that we've grown soft on, and name a quiet danger that has crept into the believing church: nostalgia.Because here's the truth — as much as I love this country, America was never our hope. Nations rise and nations fall, but the Kingdom that has no end belongs to Jesus Christ. When we spend all our energy staring into the rearview mirror, longing for a golden age, we do the very thing Scripture warns against. Lot's wife looked back. Israel looked back. We are called to look forward — to the blessed hope, the return of our King, and a future so glorious that our best chapter hasn't even been written yet. So light the fireworks. Thank God for 250 years. But don't you dare get stuck looking back.

We're celebrating America's 250th birthday with some of the most inspiring voices in the country. We kick things off with country music legend Clint Black, who calls the Constitution America's greatest gift — not because it created a perfect nation, but because the framers built in the wisdom to know they weren't perfect and gave the people the tools to correct course. He reflects on John Adams making those horseback rides from Boston to Philadelphia at an age Clint was when he was reading about it — knowing the punishment for failure was death — and what that kind of courage means to the rest of us. Then Joe Piscopo — Frank Sinatra's vice chairman of the board — joins us from New Jersey, talking about his grandfather's manifest on the German freighter that brought him to Ellis Island, his father fighting for the United States Army Air Corps in World War II, and why every morning on the radio he feels like he's on a mission in their name to keep the legacy of this country alive. Singer-songwriter Don McLean, author of American Pie, tells us about falling in love with an Israeli woman, living outside Tel Aviv while he could hear the Iran-Iraq War a hundred miles away, and coming home to America thinking — we have no idea how safe we are here. He also tells us about a new documentary on the making of American Pie and his brand new album American Boys. Mattress Mack — Jim McIngvale of Gallery Furniture in Houston — gives us the three-word formula he's lived by his whole life: late to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise. He talks about opening his furniture store as a shelter during Houston floods and hurricanes, about a man who spent six years in Angola Penitentiary and is now one of his best employees, and about why the Judeo-Christian work ethic is the foundation of everything he's built. He also shares that in 1900, the average American household had 10.5 people. Today it's under two. And one, he says, is the loneliest number. Gary Sinise — Lieutenant Dan himself, founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, author of Grateful American — talks about standing at the DMZ between North and South Korea and staring into the eyes of a North Korean guard who has never known freedom, and what that does to your appreciation for everything the men and women who serve under our flag have given us. He also shares that the 30th anniversary of Forrest Gump is coming up on July 6th. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about their 23rd annual Fourth of July family gathering — a tradition they started as young newlyweds so their children would always have a reason to come home — and what it means now that those children have children of their own. Teri talks about the new urgency she feels as a patriot, the sense that this 250-year experiment is teetering, and why that makes the celebration more important, not less. Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas opens with the observation that Benjamin Franklin — a deist who didn't believe God intervened in human affairs — stood at the Constitutional Convention and said, the longer I live, the more I'm convinced God governs the affairs of men. He also makes a sober point that America has no biblical promise of eternal endurance the way Israel does — and that our future depends entirely on our response to God's call to repentance. And Dr. Carol Swain — one of 12 children who grew up in poverty in the rural South, dropped out of school after eighth grade, and went on to earn a Ph.D. and become a university professor — says it was the people who made her great, many of them white men who saw something in her worth believing in. She says the most positive indoctrination in the world is being told you live in the greatest country on earth and that hard work will get you somewhere — and she credits not being exposed to critical race theory and victimology as part of why she was able to succeed. Throughout the special, we return to the central truth that runs through every one of these interviews — America doesn't manufacture greatness. It unleashes it.

In this special Independence Day episode, we move past the fireworks to examine the spiritual convictions that formed the backbone of the "American experiment". By viewing the events of July 1776 as an act of Divine Providence rather than mere political strategy, we uncover how the Founders' commitment to a Judeo-Christian worldview—specifically the belief that all individuals are created in the Imago Dei—served as the essential foundation for their pursuit of self-governance. We discuss how this theological understanding of human dignity directly informed the revolutionary concept of unalienable rights, ultimately shaping a nation built upon the intersection of faith and liberty.

6/29/26 - The Marxist-Islamist Alliance: A Threat to American Values

Mark Levin Podcast

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the American Marxism movement hates American institutions and is out to destroy America. And they have an ally: Islamism. Both ideas have been forced upon us by the Democratic Party. They seek to undermine our Constitution, our Judeo-Christian belief system, the nuclear family, our schools and universities. Despite their outward ideological differences, they share one goal: destroy the West. How? With immigration and open borders and using our constitutional protections against us. And there's a third problem: the Woke Reich neo-fascists, who are antisemitic and anti-Christian. The result is more young people who have been brainwashed to hate this country. We need to realize that we are under attack. Later, a recent 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that upheld states' post-election day ballot counting for federal offices undermines the Constitution.  This weakens fraud detection, as the president is right that mail-in voting should be limited to those who are disabled, sick, or out of town—not universal. In states like California, ballots are sent to outdated addresses, and since such states are Democratic strongholds, pressure is ineffective, yet these practices improperly affect federal elections. Also, experience shows the Iranian regime lies, cheats, adheres to no agreements, and seeks to destroy all individuals, groups, or nations not complying with its 7th-century political-religious ideology through catastrophic worldwide war involving slaughter, torture, and rape until total submission. Unlike faiths that reformed, Islamists have not. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani is focused on de-populating NYC of as many Jews as possible and turning into a Dearborn, Michigan or Paterson, NJ. He's making it unsafe and unlivable for Jews in the City. Finally, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute Roger Zakheim calls in to discuss an Axios article that misleadingly headlined Republicans souring on Israel based on the Institute's survey. Zakheim clarified that Axios engaged in clickbait, as the survey and its own report actually showed the opposite: 75% of Republicans overall, and 80% of MAGA Republicans, believe U.S. security and prosperity are tied to Israel's security.

It's Tuesday, June 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed China to add 435 ships to Navy by 2030 China's control of the high seas is on the rise.  Global Times reports that China's shipbuilding industry produced 16 million tons of ships last year — an increase of 46% year over year.  China is handling 57% of the global shipbuilding annually. By contrast, the United States retains around 0.04% of the global shipbuilding capacity at present.  Currently, China is producing the equivalent dead weight in ships of 160 aircraft carriers per year. China's military plan is to add 435 ships to their naval capacity by 2030 in addition to their current fleet of 395 ships. United States Naval Institute News has reported that America has 291 battle force ships in operation -- exactly the number it had in 2004.  The Pentagon has revealed that China has targeted a fleet of nine aircraft carriers in nine years from now to compete with the 11 carrier fleet of the United States. China's GDP is 7.3% vs, America's GDP of 2.2% In God's providence, China has improved its Gross Domestic Product by 7.3% per year over the last 20 years.  By contract, the United States has averaged a GDP improvement of just 2.2% per year over the same timeframe. This year, the International Monetary Fund is forecasting a 4.4% Gross Domestic Product bump for China and a 2.3% bump for the United States. China builds 3 million drones and increases nuclear warheads by 77% China's drone production is approaching three million per year now. By contrast, the U.S. military is producing 120,000 drones per year, with a plan to increase to about 1 million per year in the next year or two. China's nuclear warhead buildup continues as well -- now at 620 warheads which is up from 350 in 2020. That's a 77% increase which would put the nation with 1,100 nuclear warheads in five years. The United States and Russia have each deployed 1,770 nuclear warheads. Job 12:9 and 23 asks the question: “Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?  ... He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.” White House affirms parents, opposes Johnson Amendment The White House Religious Liberty Commission issued its final report over the weekend. The report noted that “parents bear primary responsibility for the formation of their children. … This principle is deeply rooted in American law, tradition, and constitutional understanding. However, witnesses testified that government actors have frequently infringed upon the fundamental rights of parents to raise their children in accordance with their beliefs. Parental rights deserve greater clarity and stronger protection.” The report also recommended “federal legislation repealing the Johnson Amendment.” The commission called this ”an unconstitutional restriction on the religious speech of houses of worship and faith-based non-profits.”  The commission was particularly concerned about “physicians, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, patients, and religious healthcare providers regarding conscience conflicts involving abortion, sterilization, assisted suicide, gender-related interventions, vaccine mandates.” Trump: Democrat Party is embracing Communism Last Friday, President Donald Trump spoke on religious liberty to the Faith and Freedom Coalition. He warned that the Democrat Party is turning towards communism. Listen TRUMP:  “I looked at some of the people that got elected the other night in New York. These are people that want to destroy our country. They hate our country. They hate our people. They hate the Democrat Party. “The Democrat Party is in big trouble. This isn't stopping with New York. These are not social 'Dumocrats.' These are hardcore, godless communists. They don't believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion.” Homosexual pride marches in San Fran, New York City, and Ukraine Pride comes before a fall. And the month of June featured more pride events around the world. Indeed, 56,000 people participated in San Francisco's homosexual pride march over the weekend, and news reports indicate more than a million showed up on Sunday for New York City's event. Plus, 5,000 people showed up at last week's homosexual pride march in Kiev, Ukraine. That's the largest turnout since the start of the war. Ukraine has been celebrating homosexuality with these events since 2013.   Meanwhile, since June 2012, Moscow banned all homosexual pride events for a hundred years. The largest homosexual pride event in Asia occurs in Taipei, Taiwan each year — attracting some 150,000 people.  And the Chinese government shut down Shanghai homosexual pride marches in 2020.  How sexual perversion is affirmed in corporate America Here In the United States, the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign lost 65% of its Fortune 500 company participants in its Corporate Equality Index for 2026. Companies like Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Verizon agreed to forego all external benchmarking. However, the companies continue to provide the same level of benefits to their homosexual employees. Specifically, 93% offer gender-identity non-discrimination policies. That's about the same as the last two years. Marriage in decline Marriage is on the decline in America. Today, only 46% of adults are married, down from 72% in 1960. Incredibly, 29% of older adults have never married. That's up from 7% in 1960.  This may be a first in human history. Hebrews 13:4 declares this: “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” Oregon withdraws $90,000 fine against counselor who didn't affirm perversion And finally, Frank Canepa, a Catholic counselor from Oregon, won a legal victory after being persecuted for his Judeo-Christian beliefs, reports the Daily Citizen. Canepa was fined almost $90,000 for not affirming sexual perversion. One of his clients, whom he had been helping professionally for two and a half years, brought up homosexual relationships 44 times and finally demanded that he personally bless her homosexual relationship which he refused to do. Sadly, the state of Oregon seeks to prohibit people of faith from sharing their convictions with those who are homosexual.  But Jonathan Scruggs of Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The government can't target counselors for their views and force people to say things that go against their core convictions.”  Thankfully, Oregon was forced to withdraw the outrageous fine.

We opened this episode of The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour acknowledging the weight of our times. For the past week, we've explored how to live meaningfully amid chaos, threats, and cultural unraveling. That conversation remains vital. But reality does not pause for comfort. This week, we returned to the difficult terrain with our friend J.J. Carroll — a man of uncommon courage, a former law enforcement officer with decades on the border and in fugitive operations, a truth-teller who was recently fired for daring to speak plainly on the very issues he lived. J.J.'s experiences are not abstract. They have been forged in daily encounters with violence in the six months he worked with ICE in 2025-2026 and the violence he faced for 24 years as a Border Patrol Officer, arresting drug cartel members on the Southern border. He describes a nation where the demographic transformation is not subtle policy but visible, measurable destruction. J.J. is a firsthand witness to the continued open borders, net increases in illegal immigration, and jobs going overwhelmingly to non-Americans while native-born citizens, especially White males, are sidelined. Government data he cites paints a stark picture: hundreds of arrests daily, yet a system so backlogged that true mass deportations feel like a distant promise rather than a current reality. We do not shy away from these realities on this show. America was built by a specific people with a specific culture — a White, Christian, European-rooted nation that achieved greatness through shared values, faith, rule of law, and high-trust communities. Pretending otherwise dishonors history and endangers the future. As J.J. powerfully states, demographics shape destiny. When you import millions from cultures with vastly different norms, lower average IQs, and incompatible worldviews — often without any expectation of assimilation — you do not enrich; you transform, and not for the better. Europe is learning this lesson in blood and social collapse. We ignore it at our peril. Even now, the mayhem is surging onto our shores. The rising tide of migrant violence and social breakdown is unmistakable across Europe and England, where no-go zones, knife crime, and gang rapes have become grim daily realities. Here in the United States, the pattern repeats in major cities like New York and beyond. The many stories of murders, rapes, and other violence by illegal immigrant populations are not isolated tragedies; they are the predictable consequence of policies that prioritize unassimilated foreign populations over the safety and future of our own children. We have a huge country to manage with almost 350 million souls living here from all parts of the world. There are issues with continued illegal border crossings, international drug trafficking into the US, and massive issues of fraud and theft on a level never before identified that threatens to demolish us and invites totalitarianism to come and take charge. The Judeo-Christian foundational culture that created America and those individuals who were all part of it are being shredded by our political and intellectual elite and other cultures coming from far different places in the world who want no part of what we have here in terms of civilization. A significant number of these people have no understanding of respect for human life, the rule of law, the US Constitution, basic rules of life, or rules of the road that we take for granted. How does that ignorance translate into the daily lives of citizens? No respect for human life translates into murder, including the deliberate attacks on people who are strangers by perpetrators using trucks, knives, guns, and other weapons. No understanding of, agreement with, and respect for the rule of law translates into fraud and theft on a massive basis, employing lying, subterfuge, and cunning to swindle, cheat, and steal from individuals and from American citizens through federal theft. In California, several massive, multi-million-dollar fraud rings involving illegal immigrants and transnational criminal organizations have recently been dismantled by federal authorities for stealing taxpayer-funded welfare, COVID-19 relief, and tax revenue. Similar large-scale fraud operations tied to Somali communities have also plagued Minnesota, further draining public resources intended for American citizens. This cultural incompatibility extends even to everyday infrastructure. Illegal immigrant commercial drivers, often poorly trained, unlicensed, or operating stolen or improperly maintained vehicles, are contributing to chaos on our highways. Serious accidents, deadly pile-ups, and overwhelmed emergency services have increased in areas with high concentrations of such drivers, adding yet another layer of preventable danger to American families who simply want to travel safely on roads built and maintained by prior generations. As Elizabeth Nickson has powerfully documented in her recent Substack column “White Boy's Summer,” the impact across Europe has been devastating. Decades of mass migration have been accompanied by a deliberate political project that has taught many newcomers to view the native populations — the very citizens who built and sustain these societies as producers, taxpayers, and keepers of the culture — with resentment and outright hatred. (See: White Boy's Summer) The Spiritual Dimension This is not merely political or economic. It is spiritual. We agreed that there is a degree of evil walking the world that we have not seen before. Both concepts of evil and love have been banished from intellectual discussion, laughed at as old-fashioned. Cultural relativism — the idea that all cultures and moral systems are equally valid with no objective standard by which to judge them — is the opposite of these terms. Allan Bloom's 1987 bestseller, The Closing of the American Mind, sounded the warning but was quickly buried in intellectual and media circles with a wave of multiculturalism, DEI, calls of racism to silence critics, and a focus on bending reality with transgenderism and other tales that have left devastation in their path. J.J. speaks as a believer who sees Satan as the source of evil roaming the earth, a force that delights in the slaughter of the innocent — 63 million abortions, the mutilation of children under transgender ideology, and the darkest allegations tied to elite networks like those surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. The failure to fully release the Epstein files, despite promises and power, is a profound betrayal. When those in authority protect the powerful at the expense of justice for children, the system stands condemned. Peter and I have long warned about the moral free fall — the erosion of the Ten Commandments in public and private life, the suppression of love and conscience, the celebration of evil in entertainment and elite circles. Occult influences, ritualistic abuses, and a rejection of God create a void that darkness eagerly fills. We see it in the boldness of anti-human spectacles at major events and in the quiet despair of families watching their children be targeted. We Refuse Despair We do not exempt leaders from scrutiny. While Donald Trump remains the strongest border president in modern memory, serious disappointments linger — continued promotion of mRNA technology, the absence of full accountability for past crimes, and an emperor-like tone in some foreign policy pronouncements. Real change requires more than one man. It demands people willing to reclaim their inheritance. Yet we refuse despair. Peter reminded us of the Black Robed Regiment — the ministers who fueled the American Revolution with Judeo-Christian conviction. The Black Robed Regiment was the courageous pastors and clergy of the Revolutionary era. They preached biblical principles of liberty, justice, and resistance to tyranny from their pulpits and from town to town in Colonial days, leading up to the American Revolution, while dressed in their distinctive black robes. These men were instrumental in shaping the fundamental, encompassing worldviews of individual freedom, liberty, and release from tyranny. These courageous and hardy pastors, ministers, and clerics rallied the American people, framing the fight for independence as a sacred duty and providing the moral and spiritual backbone of our nation's birth. We need a similar revival today: a return to the fundamentals of faith, family, and constitutional order. J.J. finds hope in his teenage son's generation and the friends he drives around — young people who are more politically engaged and spiritually aware than many in prior generations. They are turning away from the emptiness of the sexual revolution, materialism, and identity chaos, and they want none of it. Across the country, our youngest generations — Gen Z and Alpha — are showing signs of a quiet but powerful shift, returning to God, traditional churches, and core American values of family, self-reliance, and ordered liberty. Reports and surveys document rising interest in Christianity, declining support for extreme gender ideology, and a renewed appreciation for the Founding principles that made this nation exceptional. Young girls, too, are increasingly rejecting the glitter culture of hyper-sexualization and fluid identity in favor of something more grounded and enduring. Small Is Beautiful: Love in Action In the face of such overwhelming disorder, the answer begins at home. Make your home a sanctuary. Love your spouse fiercely. Raise your children in truth. Plant apple trees — literally, as Peter and I recently did in our backyard. Build a real community where you are. Civility, trust, and decency radiate outward from strong families. As Peter emphasized at the close, the world's evil fades by comparison to the love we put into it. God will measure us by that love. In a time when elites peddle division and death, we counter with creation, fidelity, and courage. This conversation with J.J. Carroll is raw, unflinching, and necessary. We invite you to listen to the full episode. Let it stir you — not to hopelessness, but to renewed commitment. Speak truth. Reject the lies about our nation's Founding and character. Protect the innocent. Cling to God. And never apologize for loving your people, your culture, and your children's future. We continue our series on living faithfully in dark days — see our recent “Small Is Beautiful” piece on Substack. Your presence here, your subscriptions, and your own acts of courage sustain our work. We love you, dear audience. Stay strong. The fight is generational, but good men and women — and a sovereign God — are not easily defeated.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, backed by Qatar, Turkey, and Iran, attacked Israel, murdering 1,200 people through extreme brutality. If drug cartels had done the same on the Texas border the U.S. would not tolerate it or fight with the restraint Israel showed in Gaza, such as issuing warnings and leaflets. Israel, a small nation, has faced ongoing attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah yet is repeatedly told to back off just as it nears destroying these groups, allowing Hamas to rearm despite a supposed peace deal. The U.S. fought Iran alongside Israel, but now pressures Israel to stop while Hamas remains armed and Hezbollah continues threats. Why is Israel not permitted to fully defend itself? Bari Weiss is a genuine journalist who is challenging CBS's entrenched radical mindset by promoting more moderate, professional journalists, which has provoked attacks from figures like Scott Pelley. There are CBS personalities like Pelley who are whiny, narcissistic, privileged, entitled buffoons who are driving down ratings. Meanwhile, Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur are complaining that they were banned from Britain over their views on Israel and terrorism, while affirming First Amendment free speech. They hate America, trash its Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values, and support regimes like communist China, Cuba, Islamist Iran, and Turkey where free speech is suppressed—yet demand sympathy when facing restrictions themselves. There is a growing domestic Marxist-Islamist threat, funded by Qatar, China, and others, that is organizing, building enclaves, and infiltrating politics. In breaking news, there are reports of multiple explosions in Bahrain, hours after Iran claimed precise missile strikes on U.S. bases in Kuwait and the IRGC warned of further seismic responses to American actions. Iran appears emboldened rather than defeated by reading U.S. restraint as weakness. The IRGC needs to be pounded, and the Iranian people need to be armed. Later, the core defect of Marxism is its fundamental misstatement and misapplication of human nature. Rather than being an economic philosophy aimed at equality or fairness, it uses economics and redistribution as camouflage to advance totalitarianism, seeking to control individuals, thought processes, and ultimately create a society of compliant robots. This ideology, like Islam, employs appeal to compassion and justice as propaganda while intending the opposite. It cannot work because human nature, created by God, cannot be intentionally destroyed and rejiggered by man. The practical goal is demographic transformation to build dependent, like-minded societies that can be dominated, eventually extending this control nationally. The Democrat Party serves as the vessel for Islamists and Marxists to seize control of the U.S. government, as these groups avoid Republican primaries and instead target dark blue districts where primary wins guarantee victory. Low American voter turnout combined with ruthless Muslim bloc voting has enabled conquest. There are grave concerns over the ongoing war with the Islamist Nazi enemy regime in Iran, which is making increasing demands including billions in aid that should not be provided in any form, as it would only rebuild their terrorist apparatus rather than help the people. The prolonged ceasefire is a mistake after an initially successful campaign. We should have 2 weeks of massive strikes on IRGC targets and arm the Iranian people. Learn more about your ad choices.

Whomever leaked that story to Barack Ravid did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel's prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal -- even coming to Hezbollah's defense. Will there be an FBI investigation to determine who leaked? If not, why not? Also, we will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Every delegate who signed the document had signed their own death warrant.   Let us remember this when we listen to the debates about whether or not we should defeat the Iranian regime.  All the arguments and even excuses against it -- despite 47-years of it killing and maiming thousands of our fellow countrymen, and a far more dangerous and diabolical ideological agenda than that of the British monarchy. Yet, George Washington and the brave founders of our country personally risked everything. Ultimately, the British forces surrendered.  The Iranian regime will never surrender.  And they will never abide by a deal, any more than they have abided by a ceasefire.
