Brad Dacus, founder of the Pacific Justice Institute, joins the Daily Signal's Tyler O'Neil. Dacus is challenging Ryan Haygood, the incoming CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to a debate on whether PJI is a "hate group." Haygood quotes scripture in his LinkedIn biography, but Dacus considers it "disingenuous" for a leader of a nonprofit that demonizes traditional Christian beliefs to tout his Christian convictions. "It's really ironic he's calling himself a Christian and yet he goes out of his way to attack benevolent, loving Christian organizations because of their Christian beliefs and Christian worldview," Dacus said. "You can't declare yourself Christian on Sunday morning and go to church and then on Monday, be the enemy of Christians, Christian organizations and ministries because of their Christian biblical worldview. It's not real, it's fake, it's disingenuous." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today at 1 PM ET on Steel News, Ann Vandersteel is joined by Attorney Christopher Burns, a fearless constitutional attorney and head of the United Law Coalition with American Made Action.This episode exposes the machinery of family court, CPS, guardianship, and attorney discipline systems that appear to punish those who challenge entrenched power.Ann and Chris will discuss his legal career, why he has dedicated his work to families under attack, the Rivera case, the unfolding Macklin guardianship battle in Hennepin County, and what happened to his law license after American Made began exposing CPS and judicial corruption.At the center of today's show is six-year-old Emerson “Sonny” Macklin, who lost both biological parents and is now the subject of a sealed guardianship fight. Pacific Justice Institute reports that Emerson's paternal grandfather, Timmy Ray Macklin Sr., has filed to intervene, objected to Rebecca Good's guardianship petition, and filed his own cross-petition seeking placement with family. A hearing on standing is scheduled for June 24, 2026.This is about family. This is about due process. This is about whether America still recognizes blood, kinship, truth, and the constitutional right to be heard.

It's Reformation Day, Thursday, October 31st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark The disturbing Chinese-Iranian alliance China pledged support for Iran last week during the BRICS Summit in Russia.  BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprised of the countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Other affiliated countries include Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates. Chinese President Xi Jinping stated, “No matter how the international and regional situation changes, China will unswervingly develop friendly cooperation with Iran.” International Christian Concern warns, “China and Iran are known persecutors of Christians, and their mutual support could lead to increased persecution as both countries work to eliminate the practice of Christianity within their borders.” Growing Evangelical presence in Spain The Observatory of Religious Pluralism in Spain released a report on evangelical places of worship. There are 4,455 evangelical places of worship in Spain this year, up about 1,000 from 10 years ago. With atheism and agnosticism on the rise in the country, many religious groups are shrinking or just maintaining their numbers. Evangelicals are among the few groups seeing growth in the historically Catholic nation. Transit workers win lawsuit after being denied religious accommodation In the U.S., transit workers won a $7 million lawsuit after being denied religious accommodations for the COVID shot during the pandemic. The Pacific Justice Institute represented the former employees of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District. The public transit service provided no accommodations for the workers' religious exemption requests.  Kevin Snider, Chief Counsel with The Pacific Justice Institute, said, “The rail employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny their faith. That in itself shows the sincerity and depth of their convictions. After nearly three years of struggle, these essential workers feel they were heard and understood by the jury and are overjoyed and relieved by the verdict.”  Supreme Court: Non-citizens in Virginia should be barred from voting The U.S. Supreme Court sided with Virginia yesterday in the state's attempt to keep noncitizens from voting. Virginia officials had removed over 1,600 voter registrations of noncitizens over the last couple months. The Biden administration sued Virginia, and a federal court ordered many of the registrations reinstated. However, conservative justices on the Supreme Court granted an emergency appeal to Virginia's Republican administration.  Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares responded, "I am pleased to announce that the U.S. Supreme Court granted Virginia's emergency stay to keep noncitizens off our voter rolls.” 800 million downloads of YouVersion Bible app The YouVersion Bible app has surpassed 800 million downloads globally. The app includes over 2,000 translations. Most downloads come from outside the United States like in Africa, India, and Latin America.  Bobby Gruenewald, the founder of YouVersion, told CBN News that Bible engagement is growing around the world. GRUENEWALD: “The narrative that people no longer read the Bible is simply not true. We have evidence and empirical data, real data, not just a survey that someone had somewhere, that indicates that there is momentum globally around Scripture engagement. “So, we should be encouraged to know that that God's Word is very alive and well, and if anything, more relevant to today's culture than maybe ever before in human history. Psalm 86:9 says, “All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name.” 2 final donors to Pakistani Christian orphanage Special thanks to the final two donors who helped the Pakistani Christian orphanage.  Since we had already raised $344.75 more than the cost to build the new $15,000 well at the Christian orphanage in Pakistan, the $50 which Jennifer in San Jose, California gave along with the $120 that Beth and her son, Ben, gave from Olympia, Washington will be used toward Pastor Michael's monthly budget to feed, clothe and educate the 85 orphans. To those who gave so sacrificially, thank you! Happy Reformation Day And finally, Happy Reformation Day! October 31st, 1517 was the day when Martin Luther, a Catholic priest, nailed the Ninety-five Theses on the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany in which he listed the 95 ways the Roman Catholic Church had become corrupt. Chief among them was the selling of so-called indulgences which were certificates which allegedly reduced someone's temporal punishment in purgatory for sins committed by the purchasers or their loved ones before they went to Heaven. Needless to say, there is no Biblical support for either a place like purgatory nor the ability to change one's eternal destination after death. Hebrews 9:27 says, “People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” Little did Martin Luther know how the Lord would use him to ignite a movement, the Protestant Reformation, that would change the world. Watch a 2-hour dramatic film entitled Luther with your family. Plus, your children might enjoy a 34-minute animated film called The Martin Luther Story from Torchlighters.  In addition, Ligonier Ministries has a free 90-minute documentary which you can stream entitled Luther: The Life and Legacy of the German Reformer.

Yarmouth school board to vote on parents' rights policiesIn Yarmouth, Massachusetts, the school board is set to vote on a policy allowing parents to restrict their children's access to certain books and learning materials. Superintendent Andrew Dolloff states that this formalizes existing practices of honoring parental requests. However, resident Steve O'Grady argues that this approach could inadvertently limit access for all students, including those whose parents have no objections. The writer criticizes this policy, highlighting its impracticality and the ease with which students might circumvent such restrictions. They argue that controversial books are widely available outside schools and question the criteria for deeming a book controversial, suggesting that community concern should be sufficient.Goldwater Urges Supreme Court to Give Parents Their Day in CourtThe Goldwater Institute is urging the Supreme Court to allow parents to challenge a Montgomery County Board of Education policy. This policy lets school officials create "transgender support plans" for students without informing parents, based on the officials' judgment of parental supportiveness. The institute argues this violates parents' constitutional rights to direct their children's upbringing. The policy has sparked nationwide concern, with similar cases in Maine, Massachusetts, and Florida, where schools make decisions about students' gender identities without parental knowledge. The writer highlights various organizations, including the Goldwater Institute, that assist parents in these legal battles, emphasizing the importance of parental rights in education.Goldwater Institute!  I also recommend Child and Parental Rights Campaign, Alliance Defending Freedom, Liberty Counsel, Pacific Justice Institute, America First Legal. Judge Orders California District to Reinstate Teachers Who Refused to Hide Students' Gender Transitions]In San Diego, California, Federal Judge Roger Benitez ordered the Escondido Union School District to reinstate two teachers, Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, who were suspended for refusing to adhere to a policy requiring secrecy about students' gender transitions. The policy, which was implemented without public input, involves school counselors guiding student transitions and instructing staff on how to hide these changes from parents. This case reflects broader tensions in California over parental rights in education, including initiatives to prevent schools from keeping children's gender-related decisions secret and to restrict transgender students' access to certain sports teams and facilities. Activists are rallying to address these issues through ballot initiatives.Western Liberty Network, Leadership and Activist Training Conference on Saturday, February 3rd. CPAC.

From massive demonstrations that have been shutting down traffic and blocking access to other forms of transportation to Christmas events that were interrupted, sadly, anti-Semitism is running rampant at levels in the U.S. and it's growing around the world.--One of the significant breeding grounds for this anti-Semitism has been college and university campuses. --To help listeners sort through this issue, Crosstalk welcomed Brad Dacus.

He indicated that while a small amount of this might be young people just looking for a cause, he believes that this is anti-Semitism coming to the surface that was there even before October 7th and that's what should be very alarming.--Brad also noted that these deep issues of anti-Semitism are coming from Muslim students who are here in the U.S. through visas, as well as a large percentage of first, second, third and fourth generation Muslims.

Religious rights are under attack and it's often happening in the public square.

Over the last couple of years, I've done several discussions about issues related to education. The goal in all this has been to help parents understand their options. I'm not here to arbitrate how other people should parent their kids. Parents are responsible for those decisions before the Lord, not me. But I do want to resource Christian parents to make informed decisions. I've wanted to do a discussion for a while that is targeted to those parents who still have kids in public schools, in order to empower them to better understand their legal rights. I reached out to the Pacific Justice Institute for help and I'm very excited that we were able to get this discussion set up. We will talk about the question: what legal rights do parents have when the public school teachers, policies or administrators advocate for ideas and practices that go against our worldview? This is the show to share with your Christian friends with kids in public schools.

Despite the fact that the church and Christian values are in the crosshairs of an increasingly godless culture, there is still hope. On today's edition of Family Talk, Brad Dacus (DAY-kus), president of Pacific Justice Institute, reminds us that the previous administration's judicial appointments provide a balance of power. Specifically, the Supreme Court is demonstrably in favor of life, parental rights, and religious liberty.
