Saving With Steve with Steve Sexton

Year-End Money Checkups, Holiday Spending Plans, and Guilt-Free Boundaries with Chevonne Roman

Steve Sexton talks with money wellness expert Chevonne Roman of Heal Plan Invest about conducting an emotional year-end money checkup, building a realistic holiday spending plan, and avoiding common money traps, before closing with his own warning about long-term bond risk as US debt nears $40 trillion.

Welcoming Chevonne Roman For Year-End Planning

Steve Sexton opens the show by thanking listeners for helping the program pass a million audience members in the United States and nearly 300,000 overseas, then turns to the topic of year-end financial planning before the holidays arrive. He introduces Chevonne Roman, money wellness expert and founder and chief money strategist of Heal Plan Invest, whose work has been featured by Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Nasdaq, CNN, CBS, Fox, Essence and Black Enterprise. Roman explains that after a decade as a financial advisor with a Fortune 100 investment firm, where her job was to make already wealthy families richer, she felt an unshakable pull to leave despite friends telling her she was insane to abandon a stable income. She recalls evenings and weekends spent quietly applying the same planning framework to families who were not wealthy, and describes sitting in advisory meetings where every question was directed at the husband, which convinced her to build a firm centered on women, hearts and money together.

Conducting An Emotional Year-End Money Checkup

Sexton asks Roman to unpack the year-end money checkup she recommends every listener start immediately. She tells him to begin without judgment, reflecting on what happened financially over the past year: which decisions felt strong, which created anxiety, and how the household responded when the refrigerator broke, the dishwasher failed, or a child left for college. Only after that emotional inventory, she says, should anyone move to the numbers, reviewing the budget, net worth and retirement accounts. Roman pushes Sexton to widen the lens beyond money entirely, asking whether every member of the family felt safe and experienced more joy than sadness over the year. She frames the checkup as a reflection of the whole family's life, with money representing just one piece, and insists that starting with feelings rather than spreadsheets is what makes the rest of the planning process actually stick going into the holidays.

Building A Realistic Holiday Spending Plan

After the break, Roman lays out how to build a realistic holiday spending plan that covers meals, travel and gift buying rather than gifts alone, insisting the plan be written down rather than kept in someone's head. She urges listeners to type their situation into ChatGPT or Claude for tailored ideas, and Sexton shares that he asked an AI for gift ideas with a fifty-dollar budget for a forty-two-year-old and got eight strong suggestions, one of which the recipient later called the best gift he had ever received. Roman insists the spending plan include the giver too, whether that means a year-end massage or a staycation. She then turns to the emotional weight of the season, telling Sexton that anyone anticipating difficult family dynamics should consider booking a therapist before the holidays begin. Sexton recalls a friend who scheduled a November therapy session specifically to prepare for a strained in-law relationship and came away far better equipped to handle it.

Avoiding Holiday Money Traps And Setting Boundaries

Roman's next tip is to fund the holidays ahead of time rather than swiping cards impulsively, suggesting a prepaid or secured card, dedicated gift cards, or a single savings account fed by a monthly transfer earmarked for holiday spending. Sexton adds that friends who keep a standing Christmas checking account, contributing roughly ten to twenty percent more each year than the last, arrive at November already funded and interest-free. Turning to guilt, Roman tells listeners to first confirm they have handled the essentials, updated life insurance and 401k beneficiaries, a current will, conversations with aging parents about long-term care, before spending freely on joy without shame. Sexton jokes about the infamous eight-hundred-dollar Christmas sweater bought on a card charging twenty-nine percent interest, and Roman offers a concrete boundary: delay any purchase over one hundred dollars for forty-eight hours, a cooling-off period she says reliably shrinks or eliminates impulsive regret.

Resetting Finances In The Final Quarter

Roman shifts to the last quarter of the year as a reset point rather than waiting for January, urging listeners to check what has gone into their 401k, look for room to max out an IRA or Roth IRA, and confirm their savings actually matches what they had planned. She flags free documents at freewill.com and distinguishes a will, which dictates what happens to belongings and any guardianship of minor children, from an advance directive, which governs medical decisions if someone cannot speak for themselves; she stresses that both need conversations with a spouse about wishes, not just paperwork. Sexton relays a listener question from Susan in Ohio, who wonders why she waits months every year for a tax refund instead of adjusting her withholding. Roman answers that September is the ideal moment, since the IRS and most states publish income-tax calculators that reveal instantly whether a paycheck is over- or under-withheld, giving four months to correct it before filing season.

New Year Confidence And A Closing Bond Warning

As the show closes, Roman tells Sexton that anyone entering January already regretting holiday debt or family friction should simply give themselves permission to correct course rather than carry guilt forward. She encourages listeners to ask AI tools plainly what an appropriate savings rate looks like for their age and retirement goal, calling it a free way to start planning a dream retirement one honest question at a time. Sexton shares that he is a twenty-year colon-cancer survivor and recalls how expensive both treatment and lost income became, reinforcing Roman's point that plans should survive life's shocks. Roman describes her firm, Heal Plan Invest, and its seventeen-person team building roadmaps for people who have handled money their own way for decades and want a second opinion. Sexton then turns solo, warning that with US debt approaching forty trillion dollars, long-term bonds many retirees treat as safe could lose value if yields keep climbing, and urges listeners to ladder short-term holdings and review portfolios calmly rather than panic.

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster

Escaping the Survival Paradigm to Heal Hidden Beliefs with Vincent Genna

Ken D. Foster talks with psychotherapist, medium and author Vincent Genna about why applied knowledge, not more information, is the key to escaping a survival paradigm, and how hidden childhood beliefs, brain defense mechanisms and a stronger inner voice can move listeners from merely surviving toward genuine self-realization.

A Show Built Around Getting Stuck

Ken D. Foster opens Voices of Courage with a short preview of the conversation to come, then rolls the show's theme music before returning to formally welcome listeners. He asks whether they have ever done everything they're "supposed to do"—read the books, attended the seminars, worked with coaches, meditated, prayed, journaled—yet still find life harder than it should be, still repeating old patterns and lacking the fulfillment they want. Foster tells his audience the problem is not that they haven't done enough or that they are broken, but that something may still be operating beneath their awareness, keeping them in a paradigm of surviving rather than thriving. He explains that surviving, in this sense, is not about sensing danger but a quiet mindset shaping how people think, act and show up in the world. He introduces the show's goal of moving past fear-based thinking toward clarity and self-awareness before welcoming his guest, Vincent Genna.

Introducing Vincent Genna

Foster formally introduces Vincent Genna as an MSW, internationally acclaimed psychic therapist, medium, master spiritual teacher, human potential specialist and best-selling author of "The Secret That's Holding You Back." He notes Genna has spent more than four decades bridging psychology, neuroscience and spirituality to help people heal deeply rooted patterns. Genna jokes that hearing "four decades" reminds him how old he is, calling himself "antique." Foster responds that wisdom, not information, is what people actually lack today, since anyone can Google facts but wisdom takes maturity to earn. Genna agrees, explaining that information only becomes wisdom once it is applied and proven to work, and that many people have read the books and attended the seminars Foster describes without ever converting that knowledge into lasting change. He adds that survival does not have to look grim or embattled; it can look pleasant and successful on the surface while someone is still, underneath, only surviving rather than thriving.

Applied Knowledge Versus Information Overload

Foster and Genna turn to what happens when information outpaces application. Foster describes his twelve grandchildren, calling them brilliant enough to discuss physics or world history, yet baffled by simple physical tasks like assembling furniture or fixing a lock, which he frames not as criticism but as evidence of unapplied knowledge. Genna agrees, citing an unnamed source he heard describing how constant technology use is slowing children's practical intellect because devices now do their thinking for them, joking that a child asked to water the lawn will ask Siri how. He argues the same gap affects adults who have built families and careers yet still feel something is missing, offering his own barometer: wherever a person's life is not where they want it to be reveals hidden, unrecognized beliefs beneath their psyche. Genna signals that untangling this requires moving into spirituality and metaphysics, and specifically into the subject of manifesting, which the conversation takes up next.

Spirituality, the Field, and Four Levels of Belief

The two men frame spirituality as distinct from religion, which Genna calls "man's way of interpreting spirituality," while spirituality itself covers a person's relationship to a higher intelligence, to other people and to the planet. Foster credits mentor Dr. Ervin László with the idea that "the field is not outside of you, you are the field," arguing that once people grasp that connection, changing themselves becomes the way to change the world rather than chasing outward causes. Genna lays out four progressive attitudes people cycle through across incarnations: the victimized "to-me" stage, where hardship feels like punishment; the "for-me" stage, illustrated by people who found meaning in the pandemic lockdown; the "through-me" stage of healers who see themselves as a conduit; and the final "as-me" stage, in which a person recognizes themselves as co-creator of everything, comparing it to a holographic slice of an apple that still contains the whole apple.

Defense Mechanisms and the Personification Meditation

Genna pushes back gently on the idea of simply letting go of the past, telling Foster it is "easier to cut your arm off" than to discard one's history, and that the real work is reframing it. He explains that the brain's two highest functions are keeping a person alive and protecting them, which means painful childhood messages about not being good enough get repressed by what he calls the "adult-made mind" shielding the wounded "environment-made mind" beneath it, comparing surface-level affirmations to pretty pictures pasted over a whiteboard of unresolved pain. Genna credits John Bradshaw's inner-child work as a forerunner of this approach and describes his own Personification Meditation, an exercise from his book in which a person sits in isolation and holds a conversation with "little you" to surface buried beliefs. Foster connects this to his own practice of stillness and isolation, adding that real change is not a one-time event but ongoing work requiring a guide to keep uncovering deeper layers.

Finding a Teacher and Trusting an Inner Voice

As the hour closes, Foster and Genna discuss how to choose a spiritual guide amid an overwhelming field of speakers and competing claims. Genna advises listeners to be discerning, comparing the spread of spiritual theories to the many competing schools of medicine, and reminds Foster that "knowledge doesn't become wisdom until it works" for the individual applying it. Foster adds that the right teacher points a person back to their own inner realization rather than dictating answers, and that a credible guide should be someone visibly living the principles they teach. Genna quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson's call to "honor your inner voice" and Einstein's line that a problem cannot be solved with the belief system that created it, urging listeners to apply new beliefs the way they would try a new medication until something works. Foster closes by directing listeners to Genna's book, "The Secret That's Holding You Back," on Amazon, thanking him warmly before signing off with the show's closing line about seeing the unseeable and doing the impossible.

Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

Laying the Axe to the Root: Draft Warnings, AIPAC, Masonic Ties, and Controlled Opposition

Broadcasting solo on Sons of Liberty Radio, Bradlee Dean warns of a coming draft, accuses AIPAC-controlled politicians of dragging America into Israel's wars, and plays clips exposing self-described Freemasons Andrew Wilson and Candace Owens as controlled opposition, with a call from longtime listener Ken on losing privacy over basic utilities.

A Constitution Ordained By Providence

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast alone with a pre-recorded monologue built around the idea that America's decline traces back to men who have cast aside the Word of God. He quotes Chris Hedges' litany of institutions that now "destroy" the very things they claim to protect, then pairs it with Jesus's warning in Mark 7:7-8 against holding "the tradition of men" over the commandment of God. Dean cites Alexander Hamilton's belief that the Constitution came from "the finger of God" and Benjamin Rush's comparison of it to a biblical miracle, framing both as proof the founding documents were divinely inspired. He likens ignoring that "instruction manual" to traveling without a map or playing a game with no rules, warning that the country is now dangerously off course. He notes the Christian church itself has splintered into more than 45,000 denominations, a sign, he argues, that allegiance has shifted from God to man. The Sons of Liberty theme song and station identification close out the segment.

Welcome To The Sons Of Liberty

Once the live show begins, Bradlee Dean greets his audience as "friends as well as a few enemies, scoffers, atheists, skeptics" before explaining he is overwhelmed by the volume of information flooding in and could reshape the entire program around it. He invokes James Madison's warning that no country can endure continual warfare, blaming the "corrupt mainstream mockingbird media" and compromised politicians for most of what Americans are fed. Dean plays a clip of a young online commentator dissecting the right-left paradigm as a "uniparty system" designed to distract voters ahead of the midterms, and says he is thrilled to finally hear someone echo arguments he has made for two decades. The clip becomes his segue into the show's title, Laying the Axe to the Root, borrowed from John the Baptist's call to attack the corrupt tree at its root rather than merely trimming branches, which he backs with 2 Chronicles 20:20's promise that believing the prophets brings establishment.

The Draft, AIPAC, And The Paul Brothers

Dean turns to what he calls a years-long warning about a coming military draft, tying it to online influencers Jake and Logan Paul, who he says addressed the American public from the Pentagon urging support for Israel despite never having served. He argues roughly 99 percent of senators answer to AIPAC, which he describes as an Israeli handler organization exploiting politicians compromised by the Epstein files, and insists modern conflicts serve "Rothschild's Israel" rather than constitutional aims. Quoting Smedley Butler's description of war as a "racket" fought by "heavily armed, state-sponsored pawns," and Henry Kissinger calling soldiers "dumb, stupid animals" used as foreign-policy pawns, Dean argues the draft would never touch the children of Congress or the president. He cites Dick Cheney profiting $34.5 billion from the Iraq War and General Wesley Clark's admission that oil drove the invasion, then says the Pentagon has told families it owes no benefits for deaths in Iran-related fighting since Congress never declared war, adding that Netanyahu's birth name was Mileikowsky.

Caleb Collier's Endorsement And False Teachers

A promotional clip from Caleb Collier, host of the program Church and State, calls Bradlee Dean "one of the greatest theologians and patriots of our time" before Dean returns to read 1 Kings 13:33 in the King James Version, comparing wicked king Jeroboam's habit of elevating "the lowest of the people" to priesthood with today's practice of promoting compromised media figures as moral standards. Dean argues Christ alone, per Acts 17:31, is the standard, not "reprobates" or "scoundrels." He runs through a list of influencers he says he warned listeners about years in advance, including Andrew Tate, whom he links to the CIA and later sexual-assault charges, and Russell Brand, whom he calls compromised yet still uncensored on Rumble. He adds that Ben Shapiro has "fallen on his own sword" by revealing his true allegiances on air. Dean frames the pattern as proof that the same handlers who create national problems also install the personalities who claim to oppose them.

Ken Calls About Utilities And Surveillance

A caller named Ken, who says he is 66 and increasingly exhausted by the daily effort of protecting his privacy, tells Dean he expects water, electricity and telecommunications to become tools of control, forcing people to trade either their health or their freedom just to keep basic services. Dean answers by quoting William Pitt the Younger's line that "necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom" and argues authorities are herding citizens toward pre-approved options while fatiguing them into compliance, pointing to the buildup of federal offices since September 11th. He tells Ken and listeners that new vehicles will carry government-mandated kill switches starting in 2027 and that manufacturers can already remotely take control of cars, alongside the rollout of Flock surveillance cameras, none of it authorized by the people. Citing Proverbs 16:6, Dean argues judgment on the wicked is a mercy to society and insists nothing changes until Americans finally decide they have had enough.

Andrew Wilson, Candace Owens, And Masonic Ties

Closing the hour, Dean plays clips exposing what he calls controlled opposition among online personalities, starting with Andrew Wilson describing himself on air as a former "Master Mason." He follows it with Candace Owens telling a crowd she is "one of the Masons of Turning Point USA" while publicly appearing to question Wilson's Masonic ties, which Dean calls hypocritical given her own admission. He links Turning Point USA to broader allegations involving Erika Kirk, sex-trafficking claims and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's attorney, and says lingering questions about Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination, including the location of his body, have left many listeners doubting the official account. Dean argues these figures function as gatekeepers who dangle information in front of audiences without ever pointing to the law that would hold anyone accountable, citing Matthew 15:14 on the blind leading the blind. He signs off thanking listeners for tuning in to Sons of Liberty Radio.

All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio with Pamela L Henderson

Girl Empowerment, Sierra Leone Diplomacy, and Resilience at the United Nations with Judy Kuriansky

Host Pamela L. Henderson talks with UN advisor and clinical psychologist Dr. Judy Kuriansky about girl empowerment, Sierra Leone's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, resilience after trauma, and using music and diplomacy to build peace.

A Warm Welcome And Introduction

Pamela L. Henderson opens the broadcast on BBS Radio, describing All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio as a platform she built since 2011 around social growth and leadership for young people. She invites listeners to her Tuesday broadcasts and points them to journeyofasapphire.com and allroadslead65max.org. Henderson then introduces her guest, Dr. Judy Kuriansky, calling her an internationally known clinical psychologist, author, humanitarian, media personality, musician, and philanthropist who serves as an advisor to the Mission of the Republic of Sierra Leone at the United Nations. Henderson notes that Kuriansky once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro all the way to the summit, framing her as an example of endurance and determination. Kuriansky thanks Henderson for the invitation and says the show's focus on girl empowerment speaks directly to her own work, calling empowerment the word most critical to self-esteem, to fulfilling dreams, and, expanded outward, to peace in the world.

A Journey Into Sierra Leone

Kuriansky explains that at the United Nations she advocates for mental health and for Sustainable Development Goal five, the empowerment and rights of women and girls agreed to by 193 countries, and that she works closely with the first lady of Sierra Leone. Asked by Henderson to trace that journey, Kuriansky recalls a Peace Corps friend inviting her to Sierra Leone during the AIDS era, where she did radio outreach with young people for the organization Search for Common Ground. A Sierra Leonean friend was later named ambassador to the United States, and Kuriansky became his policy advisor, learning about poverty and energy issues alongside psychology. She returned during the Ebola outbreak that struck Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. She describes the first lady, once forced into early marriage herself, winning a UN resolution establishing an international day against child, early, and forced marriage, and a Sierra Leonean law allowing up to fifteen years in prison for perpetrators of sexual violence, giving legal teeth to access to justice.

Resilience Lessons And Girl Empowerment Programs

Henderson praises Kuriansky's emphasis on resilience, a value central to her own foundation, and Kuriansky illustrates the concept with an exercise she uses with children after disasters: bounce a ball and watch it return, then strike it harder and watch it bounce higher, proof that people can come back from crisis even stronger. Henderson asks about the first lady's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, and Kuriansky explains it targets violence against girls that drives them out of school, and includes distributing sanitary pads so girls can keep attending and building self-esteem. Henderson describes her own program, which serves girls from fourteen into adulthood, many transitioning out of foster care, domestic violence, trafficking, truancy, or family breakdown. Through her company, 65 Max Corporation, its production arm, a clothing line, and her foundation, she teaches customer service skills that build integrity, confidence, and accountability, and graduates can earn certification and apply for jobs within her organization, turning training directly into employment.

Surviving Trauma, Saving A Grandson

Henderson shares the story behind her foundation: in 2009 her daughter, then twenty-one and raising two children alone, survived a harsh domestic violence relationship that led to her children being removed from her home. Barred from stepping in to help directly, Henderson fought for her grandchildren while facing vandalism to her car and home, tampered bank accounts, and what she describes as a year of gang stalking and bullying, living on little more than water and bread. She says a conversation with God set her on the path that became All Roads Lead 65 Max Foundation. Henderson recounts winning guardianship of her grandson in 2017 after finding him with failing eyesight, poor dental health, and a nerve twitch from prior neglect; she dismissed the doctors treating him with medication and instead gave him love, guidance, and direction, and he is now eighteen, thriving, and doing well in school. Kuriansky calls it a story of survival and thriving, and connects it to her own volunteer support work at Ground Zero after September 11th.

Music, Diplomacy, And Global Honors

Kuriansky describes one of her proudest programs, The Girls' Empowerment Camp in Lesotho, where she used affirmations, dance, and storytelling to help girls address the dangers of AIDS and build self-worth. She credits her songwriting partner, musician Russell Daisey, a former student who asked her to write psychologically sound lyrics after September 11th; together they wrote Towers of Light, Hands Off Our Girls, One in Faith, Hope Is Alive, and Stand Up for Peace. As a founding member of Women for Diplomacy International, Kuriansky recently traveled to Budapest to read peace poetry with the group's co-founder, a former Hungarian ambassador to the UN. She lists honors including the Grand Commander of the Order of the Rokel from Sierra Leone's president, a Presidential award for volunteer service from President Biden, and induction into the eMentalHealth International Hall of Fame, framing recognition as rooted in a principle from Japanese psychology: appreciating what people do, however small, rather than waiting for grand achievement.

Pioneering Advice Radio And What's Next

Henderson turns to Kuriansky's decades as a pioneer of call-in radio advice, which began in 1980 after she evaluated sex therapy research for Masters and Johnson and wrote about pleasure for Cosmopolitan magazine, eventually hosting nightly advice shows and a Z100 program featuring celebrity guests. Asked why empowerment matters now, Kuriansky points to wars, personal fears, and anxiety over artificial intelligence, insisting that human connection cannot be replaced by machines, a concern Henderson shares even as her own foundation uses AI alongside live customer-service support. Kuriansky outlines what is next: working with Sierra Leone's first lady at the UN General Assembly, finishing a book, and performing songs including Towers of Light and Stand Up for Peace at a Times Square concert with Russell Daisey. She directs listeners to her website, drjudy.com, and to Black Tie Magazine for her writing. Henderson thanks her guest warmly, and closes the broadcast with a quote about loving fully, living gently, and gracefully letting go of what was never meant to stay.

Translating Heart Intelligence

Grief, Resurrection, and the American Craft Continuity Restoration Program

Kenna and Justin reflect on grief and spirit after losing their French bulldog Audrey, then trace how those reflections led Kenna to design the American Craft Continuity Restoration Program, a plan to pay skilled tradespeople for teaching and to help rebuild self-reliant communities.

Picking Up Where They Left Off

Justin opens the show by greeting Kenna and asking how she is doing, and the two settle into a running joke about her lightning bolts and hammer. Kenna explains that today continues a theme from the previous episode, how a feeling or inspiration that begins in a person's heart can be translated into the world through many different tools, whether a paintbrush, a crochet hook, a welder, poetry, or artificial intelligence. She tells Justin she wants to share some personal observations before moving into the American Craft Continuity Restoration Program, the policy concept she calls ACCRP. Justin recalls that in the earlier episode they discussed how an idea travels from its origin into a program meant to create real change, and Kenna agrees, adding that she does not consider language her primary mode of communication but something translated afterward, from a feeling within, through her brain, and then out into words.

Losing Audrey and a Feeling of Knowing

Kenna turns to a set of personal observations she wanted to share on the show, centered on the death of the family's French bulldog, Audrey. She recalls that after Audrey passed, she felt an intense, wordless knowing that she would find her again, paired with the sense that she needed to let go of expecting the same physical form. Kenna describes having concluded, in an earlier show, that once Audrey's essence left her body, what remained was simply a vessel, and that the same essence could return in a different shape if Kenna stayed open and receptive. That realization leads her to wonder aloud whether a person is a spirit having a human experience, free to choose new experiences without limitation, and whether that continuous choosing is what eternity actually means. She frames the whole reflection as an experiment in staying present through grief rather than rushing past it, and says she deliberately gave her body permission to feel loss for however long it needed.

A New Dog and an Unexpected Turtle

About a week and a half after Audrey's death, Kenna says an inspiration told her to check Craigslist, a site she almost never uses, and the couple found a new dog. He is much bigger than Audrey and male rather than female, yet Kenna says his mannerisms feel uncannily familiar, right down to the way he looks at her. Justin then brings up an earlier moment he had almost forgotten to mention: after Kenna said Audrey might return in a longer-lived form, he joked that she could come back as a turtle. Soon afterward, the couple found a baby turtle in their backyard, one that had to climb up their driveway and through an open gate to get there. They laughed about the coincidence, decided they could not properly care for a turtle, and jokingly asked whichever spirit was visiting to come back instead as a dog, which Kenna feels is exactly what happened.

Questioning Resurrection, Dreams, and Past Lives

Kenna says these experiences led her to look up the definition of resurrection, the act of coming back to life after death, and to ask whether that process might be happening constantly rather than as a single miraculous event. She wonders whether the images people form of someone's voice on the phone, or the bodies people inhabit in vivid dreams, are memories of other lifetimes rather than pure invention. Justin offers that some believe dreams connect people with other versions of themselves across parallel, infinite timelines. Kenna brings up Avatar: The Last Airbender, noting that the character Aang can speak with his past-life avatars even though each lived an entirely separate existence, and suggests everyone may carry something similar. She extends the idea to imagining a past life as a frog communicating through pure presence rather than language, calling human communication a difficult but sometimes joyful attempt to funnel presence into words and symbols that inevitably carry their own confusing connotations.

Ancestral Knowledge and the Craft Continuity Idea

Kenna shares a memory from about fifteen years ago, sitting frustrated on her bed because she had no one to teach her to cook. She recalls asking her deceased grandmothers to let their knowledge of baking bread and scones flow through her, and later doing the same with her great-grandmother's crocheting and sewing skills, a practice she still uses today instead of always relying on tutorials. That memory pushes her to ask how communities can preserve unique skills and pass them down without penalizing the people who teach. Kenna explains she took these questions to artificial intelligence and developed the American Craft Continuity Restoration Program, a payment structure for tradespeople such as electricians, plumbers, welders, and bakers, modeled loosely on the existing Journeyman's Program, which she sent to the Department of Labor. Justin adds that older tradespeople, many over fifty-five, often resist teaching because passing on hard-won skills can feel like training a competitor rather than being rewarded for it.

A Vision For Self-Reliant Communities

The conversation widens into Kenna's larger hope for self-reliant communities where regions trade what they naturally produce, blueberries from Massachusetts rather than oranges, and where fewer households depend on distant manufacturing or a shared currency traded worldwide. She describes wanting an education system inspired loosely by Hogwarts, where children learn basics at a community hub until around age eleven, then rotate through local trades such as bakeries, gardens, and mechanics shops to discover their gifts without getting boxed into one career. Justin compares the idea to the Amish, who remain largely self-contained while still relying on skilled craftsmen for furniture, houses, and barns. Kenna also recalls a code violation in their old Massachusetts home, a bathroom with no vent pipe, as proof that basic building knowledge should be taught to teenagers. As the hour ends, both agree that real change starts with valuing skilled labor, and Justin thanks listeners before Kenna closes with her song, Translate That Fire.

Aging Well With Pharmacist Ben

Launching Aging Well, From Kmart Pharmacy to Dr. Wallach's Nutrition Revolution, with AJ Joseph

In his inaugural broadcast, Pharmacist Ben traces his path from a fired Kmart pharmacist to a nutrition evangelist inspired by Dr. Wallach, takes calls from listeners Bruce, Joe and John, and talks with his friend AJ Joseph about the hip injury that Youngevity supplements helped him overcome.

A New Show Born From a Mother's Decline

Pharmacist Ben opens his inaugural broadcast of Aging Well with Pharmacist Ben, joking about his board operator being the network owner and thanking what he calls the Pharmacist Ben Singers from the show's intro. He tells listeners this new program grew out of a visit to his 93-year-old mother, a former Army sergeant he describes as once vital and resilient, whom he found unable to rise from a chair or climb stairs without help. At 66, he says the visit convinced him to devote whatever years he has left to helping people age with quality of life, noting that roughly sixty percent of Americans over 65 take multiple medications. He outlines what the new show will cover: nutrition, skin care, the Youngevity products he has represented for years alongside Dr. Wallach, and the inspirational stories he favors, before giving out the call-in number and promising to explain the recent closure of his skin-care company, Truth Treatments, in a future episode.

Callers Bruce and Joe Report Results

Pharmacist Ben takes his first calls of the new show, starting with Bruce, a member of Pharmacist Ben's Academy, who reports that eight dark brown circles that had appeared on his knuckles disappeared after he began the Healthy Start Pack, Youngevity's combination of Beyond Tangy Tangerine, Osteo FX and Ultimate EFAs. Ben tells him such dark patches often signal missing nutrients and says most people notice results within a day or two of starting the powder. He then bribes a second caller, Joe, onto the air, thanking him for support of the show and asking him to email The Mineral Way with his mailing address for a promised gift. Joe, calling from outside after his connection cuts out, says he has been focusing on the Rise and Restore canisters rather than Beyond Tangy Tangerine and has noticed his fingernails growing faster and stronger. Ben calls the observation a good sign, explaining that fingernails, the body's fastest-growing tissue, offer a window into overall internal health.

From Journalism Degree to Kmart Pharmacist

Ben turns to his own biography, explaining that he earned a journalism degree from Syracuse University in 1980 before working odd jobs, then entered pharmacy school in 1982 hoping to study food as medicine, graduating in 1986. Drawn instead to the precision of pharmaceuticals, he became a pharmacist at a Kmart in Denver around 1987, where he noticed patients taking more medications without getting healthier, and grew troubled by what the industry called noncompliance, patients quietly resisting drugs that made them feel worse. Still in his twenties, he began recommending nutritional supplements alongside prescriptions, then grew bolder, suggesting patients take magnesium or zinc instead of certain medications entirely. Kmart's district manager, a man Ben remembers only as Mr. Osher, eventually arrived with a security guard and fired him, telling him he was not, in Ben's retelling, cut out to be Kmart material. Ben calls the firing fair, since the company wanted him selling drugs rather than steering customers away from them.

Starting a Nutrition and Skin-Care Pharmacy

After the firing, Ben starts his own pharmacy in Denver focused entirely on skin care and nutrition, making custom skin-care products himself and recommending supplements as a healing tool rather than an add-on. Word spreads through the Denver area by the early 1990s, and patients with psoriasis, acne and scarring see dramatic improvement, since, as Ben notes, the skin responds strongly to nutritional deficiencies for better or worse. He begins hosting small talks in his pharmacy, drawing only two or three people at first, then renting library meeting rooms as attendance grows through the mid-1990s. Fascinated by chemistry since childhood, he immerses himself in biochemistry and the mechanisms behind nutrition, arguing that anyone who wants to be an effective nutritionist must understand how supplements actually work in the body rather than simply repeating dosage recommendations. He frames those years as the period when he was learning as much as he was teaching, building the foundation for everything he says he still practices decades later.

Discovering Dr. Wallach's Cassette Tapes

Working in his pharmacy lab one day, Ben begins receiving cassette tapes in the mail titled Dead Doctors Don't Lie, tossing them in a drawer until curiosity gets the better of him and he finally plays one, stunned by lectures on organ meats, glucosamine and what the speaker calls the Pig Pack. Weightlifting soon after with a friend named Russ, Ben learns the tapes belong to Dr. Wallach, who happens to visit Denver often, and within weeks Wallach walks into Ben's lab in person. The two hit it off immediately, and Wallach, unable to host his own daily radio show every day because of travel, invites Ben to fill in, sometimes for weeks at a stretch. Ben says nearly forty years of treating patients since has convinced him that America suffers a collective nutritional deficiency behind much of its skin, mental-health and chronic-disease burden, and he cites dentist Weston Price's research on indigenous populations whose teeth, gums and skin stayed healthy until adopting a Western diet.

AJ Joseph's Hip Story and a Debut Sign-Off

Ben brings on his friend AJ Joseph, who helped build his academy and websites, and asks him to tell his own story. AJ recalls growing up on junk food in Harlem, then walking with a cracked hip for nearly two years in his forties after a surgeon insisted he could not possibly have one, wrapping his waist, hip and leg tightly in Ace bandages just to get through each week. After hearing Dr. Wallach discuss athletes on Coast to Coast, AJ began drinking Beyond Tangy Tangerine and other Youngevity products, and within ten days was back on the basketball court. Ben ties the story to what he calls the ridiculous deficiency allowance, arguing that official recommended daily allowances only prevent diseases like scurvy or pellagra rather than helping people thrive. A caller named John, listening from Wenatchee, Washington, thanks Ben for years of prior broadcasts before the hour runs out. Ben closes the debut episode by thanking AJ and listeners, and giving out his websites before Wednesday's next show.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield

Prayer Life, Family Time, and Leading Teams That Win with Stephen Greek

Texas high school football coach Stephen Greek returns to Raising Expectations for a second week, walking Pastor Joe Schofield, Melva Schofield, and Ron Greer through his daily prayer life, keeping a marriage strong during football season, and what actually makes a team, a family, or a business win.

Team Roll Call and Opening Prayer

Pastor Joe Schofield opens the Monday broadcast the way he always does, thanking listeners around the world and reminding them that Jesus Christ died and rose so that anyone who confesses their sins and asks him in can know their eternity is settled, with expectations rising as God works in their lives. He moves quickly through his team, greeting Dr. Paul Hall on the West Coast in Lompoc, California, noting that Dr. Craig and Stephanie Thayer are away celebrating an anniversary this week, and welcoming Pastor Ron Greer, calling in from McKinney, Texas, who works with the ministry Men in the Mirror out of Florida. He introduces his wife Melva, seated beside him at the desk. Before bringing the guest on, Schofield points listeners to bbsradio.com/RaisingExpectations for team biographies, donation information, and his own book, Raising Legitimate Faith Producing Authentic Hope, alongside Dr. Craig Thayer's book, Saved, Finding God in the Ordinary, and previews the evening's returning guest, coach Stephen Greek, back for a second week in a row.

Introducing Coach Stephen Greek and Family

Schofield brings on Stephen Greek, the Texas high school football coach, teacher, and author behind the ministry goscore.life, reminding listeners that Greek's grandfather pastored for Christ and that his parents have spent decades in gospel ministry to the elderly. He shows a family photo, pointing out Greek's wife, Daisy, and their three sons, all of whom played quarterback in high school like their father did growing up near Branson, Missouri. Greek thanks the panel warmly for having him back, joking that he worried Schofield might text to say the invitation had been a mistake, and says he considers it an honor to share again after how much fun the group had the previous week. Schofield explains the plan for the night, handing the first round of questions to his wife Melva, who addressed faith with Greek in the earlier broadcast, before the rest of the team follows up. He again points listeners to the show's website and to Greek's own site, stevengreek.com, for more information.

Scripture and a Daily Prayer Rhythm

Melva Schofield asks Greek what verses beyond Colossians 3:23, the one she says a pastor once wrote inside her own New Testament at eighteen, have carried him through life. Greek recalls the book Hind's Feet on High Places and a pastor's line that God can never use a man greatly until he hurts him deeply, then turns to Romans 8:28 and its promise that all things work together for good for those who love God. Asked what daily prayer looks like now, he describes early morning walks and workouts with his wife reciting Bible promises aloud, then explains the acronym ACTS, adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication, quoting Galatians 2:20 about being crucified with Christ during the confession portion. He remembers singing the hymn Count Your Blessings as a boy in his grandfather's church and testifying afterward, and says naming what he is thankful for still redirects his focus away from a heavy heart. Melva says the exchange reflects the blessings and challenges of her own life's stage.

Protecting Marriage During Football Season

Ron Greer asks how Greek keeps his marriage a priority through a grueling football season, noting how many coaching families he and his wife have mentored through years of near-widowhood during the season. Greek says he watched other coaches' marriages unravel early in his career and resolved to build in intentional time, like driving ten minutes to Braum's for a three-dollar-and-fifteen-cent yogurt cone with his wife the night before the broadcast, and credits his father with the phrase that love is spelled T-I-M-E. He describes protecting Sundays for church and, when the budget allows, family lunch, plus a tradition of homemade pizza and kitchen dance parties to decades of music. At the high school level, Greek says his staff worked no Sundays through four state championships, and recalls an NFL coach who threatened to fire any assistant who missed a child's soccer game for the office. He notes college coaches often build staff Bible studies and chaplain-led devotions instead, since travel schedules there are harder to control.

Leading Teams in Business and Sports

Ron Greer poses a business scenario, a leader whose talented team will not gel, and asks Greek where to start. Greek says leadership always begins with hearing a person's heartbeat, the John Maxwell-style questions about what makes someone cry, sing, or dream, so a business owner can learn whether his systems actually let people work from their strengths, citing his own son's marketing work with small businesses as an example. He stresses that teams need a clear target, since aiming for nothing guarantees hitting it, and compares reading a company's culture to reading a defense as a quarterback. Quoting Phil Jackson's line that a team is only as good as its most recent win or loss, Greek turns to a story from Bill Walsh's book The Winning Edge, in which the San Francisco 49ers coach names a two-win season as one of his greatest victories because the team somehow found a way to win at all. Greek adds his grandfather's saying, when you don't know what to do, do what you know, and keep your eyes on Jesus.

Surrender, Scripture, and a Closing Prayer

Schofield describes a listener who feels like they are losing in faith, family, and work all at once and asks what Greek would tell them. Greek answers that every area of life is only made right by surrendering to Jesus, walking through the gospel of his sinless life, substitutionary death, and resurrection, and recalling his own father's habit of confessing mistakes to him as a teenager. He offers three practical steps for starting fresh, getting into Scripture daily, building a rhythm of prayer and praise, and finding a Bible-believing congregation for encouragement and mentorship. Greek adds that his parents' ministry reaches elderly and homebound believers who watch broadcasts like this one as their only church family, and says his books intentionally weave faith into every coaching and business lesson. Schofield thanks him, points listeners again to stevengreek.com, and jokes about coaxing Paul Hall, dropped by a Zoom glitch, back for a Christmas episode. He closes the broadcast praying by name over Greek, his sons, and his parents before the outro theme plays.

Prophecy in the Spotlight with Dan Goodwin

The Seven Days of Noah: The Ark as a Picture of the Rapture and God's Prophetic Number Patterns

Dan Goodwin and Dr. Charles Hiltibidal examine the seven days Noah's family spends sealed inside the ark before the flood begins, tracing what they see as prophetic pictures of the rapture, the marriage supper, and recurring biblical patterns built around the numbers seven and forty.

Reading Genesis 7 And The Seven Days

Dan Goodwin opens Prophecy in the Spotlight alone, introducing himself as "Brother Goodwin" and previewing the day's topic, "The Seven Days of Noah." He reads from Genesis chapter 7, starting at verse 6, describing how Noah, his wife, his sons and their wives enter the ark at Noah's six hundredth year, followed by the animals two by two. He points to verse 10, which states that "it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth," and notes that Noah's family sits inside the sealed ark alone for seven full days before the rain begins. Goodwin tells viewers this detail is something "most of you probably have never heard" discussed, and promises a deeper look at what those seven days might mean once the broadcast returns from its opening break.

Viewer Support Keeps The Ministry On Air

Back from the break, Goodwin and Dr. Charles Hiltibidal open with some banter about the late-summer heat, correcting each other that it is September, not August, and recalling a temperature of 103 degrees the day before. Goodwin thanks the viewers who fund the broadcast through monthly offerings, checks, and recurring credit card gifts, noting the program has just passed six years on the air and started its seventh. He and Hiltibidal joke that they "started this thing with no money" and "still got no money," yet credit the audience with keeping it going. The two compare their modest set to polished Christian television productions, with Hiltibidal recalling a set that was "nothing but a warehouse" with bare walls, and both agreeing their own three-set studio and improved audio are a blessing. Goodwin mentions a viewer, Brother Stu, from Washington state, whom they hope to host in the studio soon.

A Type Of The Rapture And Marriage Supper

Turning to the text, Goodwin says a viewer had written in about the seven days, prompting him to look closer, and he tells Hiltibidal the passage seems to picture the rapture, with believers sealed by "the Holy Spirit of promise" the way Noah's family is sealed inside the ark. He suggests that once the door shuts, believers go to the marriage supper, and Hiltibidal adds that the judgment seat of Christ likely comes first, comparing it to the moment in a Jewish wedding when a groom praises his bride publicly, with no sins raised against her. Goodwin stresses that Calvary already covered every sin, so nothing can be brought up at the judgment seat, and that no believer can lose the gift of salvation. Hiltibidal agrees, noting Noah is sealed into the ark for seven days before "the fountains of the great deep are broken up," and says Bible readers should watch for prophetic pictures as well as literal and figurative meaning.

No Real Door And Seven Appearing Seven Times

Hiltibidal explains a detail from his own podcast, Walk Through Time with Doc, that the ark's door was not really a door at all: the vessel's walls were built of inner-laminated gopher wood, so thick that once the entrance section rose into place like a jigsaw piece, it fused solid and sealed Noah's family in completely, with no gap for sound or water. He notes that Genesis later records Noah having to cut his way out from the inside, prompting Goodwin to joke about Noah searching for a missing saw. Hiltibidal then reveals a study he has done, finding that the number seven, or "seventh," appears exactly seven times across the life of Noah in Genesis chapters 6 through 9, and that seven itself shows up thirty-nine times across the book of Genesis, a count Goodwin jokingly likens to the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament, with both men laughing that Michael Samuel Smith would surely find deeper meaning in it.

Creation Days The Number Forty And The Calendar

Hiltibidal lays out a day-for-a-thousand-years pattern, matching each day of creation to a thousand-year period of history: day one's forming of water parallels the fall of man, and day two's separating of the waters above from the waters beneath parallels the flood, when those same waters are reunited and the earth is remade with Noah as a kind of second Adam. He extends the pattern toward a future new heaven and new earth after the millennial reign's seven-thousandth year. The two then survey the number forty across scripture, the forty days of rain, Israel's forty years in the wilderness, the forty-year reigns of David and Solomon, and Christ's forty days in the wilderness and after the resurrection. Goodwin adds that Genesis records months by the pre-Exodus calendar, so the ark rests in the seventh month, later renamed Nisan after Exodus 12, on the seventeenth day, the same date, he notes, as Resurrection Sunday.

Fossils A Brass Dog And A Personal Testimony

The men discuss fossil concentrations near Mount Ararat and in parts of Texas and Illinois, which Hiltibidal attributes to animals fleeing toward higher, granite-rich ground ahead of the rising floodwaters. He describes a small brass artifact in their museum, a dog engraved with pairs of fleas, ferrets, birds, and snakes, found near an altar site on Ararat's slope. Hiltibidal calls the ark itself a picture of Christ, absorbing the water's pressure, the rain, and the lightning so that everyone inside "never felt a thing," just as Christ suffered on Calvary so believers would not have to. Asked whether the world is nearing the moment God "shuts the door," Hiltibidal points to 2 Thessalonians and warns that those who reject the truth will be left behind. Goodwin closes by recounting his own conversion on July 4, 1981, when he realized he was lost and trusted Christ, and signs off telling viewers to keep their eyes on the skies.

Here's To Your Health with Joshua Lane with Joshua Lane

Aloe Vera Boost, TrevorSpace Risks, Tylenol-Autism Science with Karen Masterson Koch, Brenda Lebsack, and William Parker

Joshua Lane hosts three back-to-back conversations this hour: nutritionist Karen Masterson Koch on Aloe Life's energy and digestion claims, Santa Ana school board member Brenda Lebsack on disturbing content she found behind campus suicide-hotline resources, and researcher William Parker on his new book linking infant Tylenol use to autism.

Karen Masterson Koch Talks Aloe Life Energy

Joshua Lane opens the show by welcoming Karen Masterson Koch, a returning guest and the founder of Aloe Life, to discuss her book Beyond Gluten Intolerance and the company's Aloe Gold concentrate. Lane describes decades of using Aloe Life's Skin Gel to clear up teenage acne scars and credits Aloe Gold with giving him steady energy. Koch explains that most commercial aloe products are heavily diluted, while Aloe Life's seventeen products, including Aloe Gold, are concentrated four times and retain the plant's bitter yellow sap along with more than one hundred active compounds. She walks Lane through five common causes of fatigue, from failing immunity and viral flare-ups to nutritional gaps caused by irritable bowel syndrome, and urges listeners to get blood work done to rule out anemia, diabetes, or leukemia. Koch recalls a neighbor with leukemia whose blood values visibly improved after adding Aloe Gold alongside vitamin E, vitamin C, and B-complex supplements.

Blood Sugar, Digestion, and Monica Brant's Comeback

Koch tells Lane that Aloe Gold acts as an herbal bitter that stimulates stomach acid, letting the body absorb far more nutrition from food and supplements; she cites a Tufts University study of eighty-eight thousand people and other research showing aloe can raise vitamin E absorption by three hundred percent and vitamin C by two hundred percent. She credits the juice's one hundred fifty trace minerals with helping stabilize blood sugar and lower hemoglobin A1c in people managing prediabetes, and recommends pairing it with Aloe Life's Daily Greens powder for leafy-green nutrients most diets lack. Koch closes with the story of bodybuilder Monica Brant, who returned to competitive shape after a decade away by rotating Aloe Gold, Daily Greens, and Detox Plus, then won first place at a UK Contour competition. Lane thanks Koch and directs listeners to aloelife.com, the discount code FREEHEALTH, and the company's toll-free ordering line for the full seventeen-product line.

Brenda Lebsack Uncovers TrevorSpace Content

After the break, Lane introduces Brenda Lebsack, a Santa Ana native who has taught in California public schools since 1990 and served on the Orange Unified and now Santa Ana Unified school boards. Lebsack explains that around 2019, before COVID lockdowns, she began noticing kindergarten library books telling children their gender could change like the weather, and that campus restrooms later displayed wellness posters, mounted at a seven-year-old's eye level, promoting the 988 Suicide Hotline, Crime Stoppers, and the Trevor Project. Concerned the resources could confuse young children, Lebsack texted the 988 line pretending to be a confused child and was directed to Trevor Project's chat platform, TrevorSpace, after answering a survey listing eleven gender options. She created a fake profile claiming to be thirteen years old despite the site's stated thirteen-to-twenty-four age range, gained instant access with no verification, and found chat rooms with names like Our Dads Suck Club and a furries group, along with pagan and witchcraft communities.

School Board Pushes Back, State Law Moves Forward Anyway

Lebsack tells Lane she brought a lawyer and screenshots to her superintendent, who removed the posters and Trevor Project resources from elementary campuses. She then hired a former SWAT investigator who posed online as a fourteen-year-old boy and was groomed on TrevorSpace before being asked to move the conversation to Discord, a platform Lebsack calls known for child abduction. Lebsack and the investigator testified before the California Senate Education Committee against AB 727, which mandates Trevor Project information on the back of every student ID card from grades seven through twelve; only the committee's two Republicans voted no, and Governor Newsom signed the bill, effective this summer. Orange County Superintendent Stefan Bean independently reviewed her findings, reached the same conclusion, and wrote to Newsom urging him not to sign it. Lebsack says she has since founded the Interfaith Statewide Coalition, emailed roughly five hundred California school officials, and gotten TrevorSpace blocked on her district's Chromebooks, with coverage from the Washington Times and Epoch Times but not, she says, from EdSource or major networks.

William Parker Connects Tylenol And Autism

In the final segment, Lane welcomes William Parker, a PhD immunologist who spent nearly thirty years on the Duke University faculty and now researches autism with his book Tylenol and Autism: The Evidence, Scientific Blunders, and Medicine Gone Wrong, published by Skyhorse. Parker recounts how his lab helped establish that the human appendix, long dismissed by mid-century doctors as vestigial, actually preserves beneficial gut bacteria, a parallel he draws to acetaminophen research. He traces the autism connection to researcher Stephen Schultz's 2008 observation that children linked acetaminophen to developmental regression, later reinforced by scientist Ann Bauer and by Danish researchers Frisch and Simonsen, who used the Danish National Birth Cohort of boys born between 1994 and 2003 to show that circumcision, typically paired with acetaminophen, doubled the prevalence of infantile autism. Parker explains that newborns, unlike pregnant women, are poorly equipped to safely metabolize acetaminophen, so a portion of the drug converts into a toxic compound called a quinone imine, a pathway known to be absent in newborns since the 1950s and in domestic cats today.

Cannabis, Race Disparities, and Flawed Studies

Parker tells Lane that a large modern American cohort of boys born from 2003 to 2023 no longer shows the circumcision-autism link, which he attributes to acetaminophen exposure becoming so widespread through infant vaccination schedules that genetic sensitivity, not circumcision itself, now drives the risk. He criticizes more than three dozen recent papers defending the drug's safety in pregnancy, arguing they statistically factor out the very people most vulnerable to harm. Parker points to a 2019 Arkansas Children's Hospital study showing cannabis extracts, individually non-lethal, become lethal in laboratory animals when combined with acetaminophen, and links the interaction to sharply rising autism rates tied to socioeconomic status, citing California public-school data suggesting roughly thirty percent of Black boys in Los Angeles County carry an autism diagnosis. He directs listeners to preventautism.org and his published papers in the journal Children and the Korean Pediatric Society's flagship journal for more detail. Lane closes the broadcast by thanking Parker and inviting listener suggestions at [email protected].

Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

Is America Being Torn in Pieces? Third World Comparisons, Zionist Politicians, and Divine Judgment

Broadcasting solo on Sons of Liberty Radio, Bradlee Dean argues that America itself, not any foreign dictator, is tearing the country apart, playing clips of Nancy Mace, Carrie Prejean and an angry driver on gas prices while taking calls from Ken in West Virginia and a caller who calls herself Mrs. Sears-B.

A Pre-Recorded List Of Grievances

Before the live broadcast begins, Bradlee Dean airs a pre-recorded monologue built from a string of rhetorical questions asking whether a "Third World dictator" is really behind the nation's troubles. He walks through the Patriot Act, which he says was pushed through unread at 3:45 in the morning, the Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration, and lawsuits filed against border-state governors, arguing each is the work of Americans, not a foreign power. He cites a figure of 179,027 released illegal felons, warns of efforts to redefine marriage and strip gun rights, and claims Obamacare violates Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Dean adds Common Core and international education standards to his list, along with an estimated 55 to 60 million abortions performed in America. Quoting reformer John Calvin on wicked rulers as a sign of divine judgment, he closes the taped segment insisting Americans, not any dictator abroad, are responsible for the corruption they have tolerated.

Christian Nation Claims And A Muslim Officer

Live on the air, Dean greets "friends as well as a few enemies" and argues America was founded as a Christian nation, citing Chief Justice James Kent, the Mayflower Compact, four references to God in the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution's dating "in the year of our Lord 1787." He plays a short clip of a Muslim police officer speaking Arabic in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, calling her garb proof she has come "to conquer, not assimilate," and links her hiring to Governor Tim Walz, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and Keith Ellison, all three of whom he brands treasonous. Dean cites a Somali American Police Association post congratulating a Lieutenant Abdul Qadir on his promotion as further evidence Muslims are being deliberately installed rather than voted into government. He argues modern-day Israel, which he says the Rothschild family funded, is a "synagogue of Satan" that uses Muslim immigrants as mercenary "brooms" to sweep away opposition, tracing the pattern to war-torn nations he calls cursed.

Nancy Mace, Carrie Prejean, And Zionist Money

After a break, Dean opens the phone lines and plays a Lindell TV panel segment in which Congresswoman Nancy Mace tells a news anchor that the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security have confirmed Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud, yet Republicans, not Democrats, killed the oversight investigation into her. Dean seizes on that admission as proof his own claim, that the "Left" is simply "the fruit of" a Right that failed to govern rightly, has been correct for years. He then plays a second clip in which panelist Carrie Prejean confronts Mace over the roughly $138,000 she has taken from AIPAC, pressing her to call Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide while Mace counters by asking about Christians killed in Syria. Dean interjects that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not actually Jewish but Polish, born Mileikowsky, and says the same is true of earlier Israeli leaders, framing modern Israel's government as compromised and its supporters as extortionists.

Church, State, And A West Virginia Caller

Dean turns to a viewer's posted parable comparing church and government to two lanes that government has invaded unopposed, using it to argue there is no true separation of church and state, since Americans, not politicians, are the government under God. He credits the wall-of-separation idea to a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802 and to the American Civil Liberties Union, whose founder he says declared the organization's end goal to be communism. Quoting Constitution signer James Wilson, that "Christianity and law are twin sisters," Dean insists every nation is effectively a theocracy under God's sovereignty. Caller Ken from West Virginia phones in to back Dean up, reading through a list, sourced to author Micaiah Freeman, of ten Israeli prime ministers' original names and birthplaces, including Ben-Gurion born Grün in Poland and Golda Meir born Mabovitch in Ukraine. Dean adds that the CIA was founded in 1947, the Mossad in 1948, and that atheist Theodor Herzl first proposed the Zionist project in 1897, before the call cuts out.

Diesel Prices And A Nation Torn In Pieces

Dean plays a clip of a man saying he loves his country but hates his government, then argues the sentiment is self-contradictory since Americans are the government they claim to hate. The same clip shifts to record-high diesel and gas prices, over seven dollars a gallon in the man's town of Searcy, and to the toll of American wars on children overseas; Dean answers that both the deficit and the bloodshed are collective judgment for tolerated sin, not something Americans can blame on leaders alone. Naming the episode's theme directly, he says America is "being torn in pieces" and reads at length from Psalm 50, Proverbs 1, and Proverbs 16:6, framing the passages as God warning that those who ignore correction will be mocked in their calamity. He calls it hypocrisy that American churches send missionaries to preach abroad while allowing abortion at home, saying the nation's suffering is the Lord "repaying us to our face."

Mrs. Sears-B And Contending For The Faith

A caller identifying herself as Mrs. Sears-B tells Dean she returned to church after a 2012 health diagnosis and became "a prayer warrior," then explains she is the one who submitted the church-and-state parable in the show's live chat. She laments that churches once sent people into the streets to be "the voice of their congregation" and no longer do, adding that only repentance and the Holy Spirit, not human perfection, can restore what she calls a lost sense of normal. Dean agrees, calling it further proof of God's judgment on the country. He closes the broadcast reflecting on a caller named John who twice had the chance to speak but never did, and defends on-air disagreement as biblical "contending for the faith," comparing it to Paul, Peter, Silas, and Barnabas, and recalling that debaters once argued at the top of their lungs from special chairs he says he still owns two of, before signing off with the show's web addresses.
