Transcribe →Bold and Blunt: The war is over -- or is it?
2w ago00:31:33Tap to summarizeAmerica's war against Iran has been waging nearly 100 days and the good news is: It's over. So said President Donald Trump. The bad news? It may not be over. So said a read-between-the-lines of all the media reports that the peace deal that's due to be signed, or is being signed, or has been signed, is actually only a deal to continue discussions of peace and strike agreeable terms of peace. Simcha Brodsky, chief operating officer for Open Source Intel on X, speaks from Israel about the Jewish nation's perspective on both the war and looming peace.
Transcribe →Trump's foreign policy successes
3w ago00:33:36Tap to summarizeWhen it comes to President Donald Trump's foreign policy, Democrats largely disagree with anything and everything he does, while Republicans generally stand in solidarity with him. But that's because Democrats for the most part detest America. For more on Trump's foreign policy and energy plans to return America to a state of independence and greatness, tune in to guest Rear Adm. Mike Hewitt, retired U.S. Navy.
Transcribe →Quiet Christians weaken America
4w ago00:32:26Tap to summarizeThe root of most of America's problems is this: quiet Christians. Far too many in the faith feel like their job is to live in this world, but not of this world — and that's why evil is advancing and darkness grows. If Christians would become bolder, then America's many problems would naturally subside. Bunni Pounds says more Christians should behave like Nehemiah in the Bible, and take the leadership roles God wants them to take — and stop waiting for someone to tell them it's okay to lead.

May 2000:30:08Tap to summarizeJ.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has led a life of ups and downs and on way to becoming one of the world's best-selling authors, has overcome much adversity. She's also a complex woman — as complex as the characters she's developed in her much-beloved books. Even her faith and love for Jesus has not come without controversy. Solomon Schmidt, author of "A Pen to Change the World," dove deep into her background.
Transcribe →Covid still depressing home ownership
May 1200:27:30Tap to summarizeIf you want to know why youth in America are struggling to move from renting to home ownership, then look no further than the Covid years. As one housing expert says, Covid became the pivot point in the nation where building homes turned into a developer's nightmare, because pricing homes was so impossible. And that challenge was passed right along to consumers. The effects still linger.
Transcribe →Wealth-building with God
May 500:31:51Tap to summarizeToo many Christians have the wrong idea about money, and see the concept of wealth-building as automatically evil. But pursuing financial stability and prosperity isn't in itself an evil. Money only becomes problematic when its pursuit gets in the way of worship of God. John Coleman, author of "Good Money," tells how to build a life of financial purpose.
Transcribe →Tax cuts are great, but debt reduction's better
Apr 2800:32:03Tap to summarizeThis White House has shown itself to be a champion of tax cuts, with estimates showing Americans are receiving refunds on several thousand dollars, on average. But as fiscal expert Dr. Anne Bradley warns, tax cuts without longer term reductions in government spending in essence stagnate growth and erase the returns to citizens. Tax cuts alone can't solve the national debt crisis.
Transcribe →China's shop of influence and horror
Apr 2100:31:31Tap to summarizeThe Chinese communist influence in America has taken an even deeper turn, and now the CCP is using the IRS to spread its rot. Nonprofits have become a go-to for the CCP, and it's become so problematic, even Congress is holding hearings. But that's nothing compared to the evil Jan Jekielek has uncovered about the CCP in his new book,"Killed to Order," about organ harvesting.
