In the midst of the craziness, chaos, and division surrounding the upcoming Presidential election, many are seeking discernment as well as praying for and over the future of this country. However, there remains an overwhelming amount of fear, stress, frustration, and more running rampantly throughout our country! So, with all of those things on the forefront of our minds, we thought that there would be no greater guest to bring in than someone who has their finger on the pulse of what's happening in culture as well as someone who has a heart for the intersection of topics such as politics and faith, Ryan Helfenbein. Ryan serves as the Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center and the Vice President of Communications and Public Engagement at Liberty University. Ryan hosts “The Give Me Liberty” weekly podcast and is also a weekly contributor on “In Focus with Alison Steinberg” as well as a contributor on my dad, Dr. Tim Clinton's weekly television show, “Sunday, the Road Forward” on Real America's Voice News. Remember, this upcoming election is not about personalities - It's about policies - policies that impact our everyday lives - issues of concern to all Americans including the economy, our border situation and the real threat of terrorism both here and abroad, a strong national defense and of course issues important to people with sincerely held religious beliefs such as religious liberty, life, Israel, and more! We are in a significant moment in time and I believe God calls us to stand for biblical truth and to be salt and light to our generations!

Josh Hammer (2:29) - The Biden administration is considering allowing Gazan refugees into the United States. With the issues already facing our border, many conservatives are concerned this could get out of hand and Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee suggests it will be a danger to our national security. Marc Lotter (11:05) - Democrats are concerned that there will be a massive show of force at the Democratic National Committee convention in August. Is the Biden administration's handling of this situation to blame? Ryan Helfenbein (19:06, 27:57) - United Methodists overturned a measure that barred gay clergy from ordination.

Ryan Helfenbein (20:08, 27:57) - With all the schools protesting in America, Liberty University holds a massive public prayer gathering, attempting to contrast the anger, violence, and hatred from the anti-Israel mobs. Plus, the ICC may issue a warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials over their response to the Hamas attack on Oct 7th. Jenna Ellis (35:55) - It's concerning that the ICC is after Israeli leaders and Prime Minister Netanyahu. They should have the right to defend their country from those who attacked them on October 7th. Israel is concerned that humanitarian aid is going to be used to fuel the terrorists. In other strange news, Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota wrote in her memoirs the story of her shooting one of her family hunting dogs 20 years ago. This behavior is concerning and should be condemned. Some of the republican party is coming to her defense, but the reason is questionable at best.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now younger voters, Millennials and Gen-Z alike believe it's time to be more pro-America than pro-Israel. David Frei (29:28, 35:58) - Trump was on trial today for reimbursements made to former lawyer Michael Cohen who made hush money payments to Stormy Daniels to stop her from speaking publicly before the election in 2016.
