Bold and Blunt

America, beware. China has a game plan for world dominance and it's called One Belt, One Road -- a morphing of the nation's Silk Road. And once the CCP has put in place all its various Belt and Road, or BRI, systems, the communist tentacles will flow through three quarters of the populations of the world. America will be left playing catch-up. America will be second fiddle on the world stage. America the Great will go the way of Rome and fall to another nation. This is not only a peril to American freedoms. It's a threat to all the free societies of the world. Guest expert Michael Hewitt, retired rear admiral of the U.S. Navy, talks about the coming One Belt, One Road storm.

China is making great inroads into America these days, stripping our exceptionalism one layer at a time. And the communist nation shows no signs of slowing its roll. In fact, under this current White House Administration, the CCP is finding a friend in America. Taiwan is trembling, contemplating the very real possibility of an attack by China before Joe Biden leaves the White House. Meanwhile, America itself is facing a massive loss on the world stage. If China seeps its culture into America's society, and causes our country to become dependent on its communists for economic growth, and all the while steals our technology and creative productions, what hope is there for the future of freedom? Gordon Chang, an internationally recognized expert on China, speaks about the threats from the communist country, including the demise of U.S. patent law and what that means in terms of growing the CCP even stronger.

Christians surveying the world have been wondering for some time now if we've entered the final phase of existence -- if it's Revelation Time. But it's not just Christians who are wondering that question. Plenty of non-believers, on-the-fence believers, secularists and humanists and atheists are discussing the idea of the end of humanity, too. The Bible gives the signs and seasons to watch to predict the ending times, but specifically states that no one but God knows the exact date. Still, there's a lot going on today that would seem to suggest the end days are getting nearer; that the time of the rapture is approaching with a rather astonishing speed. Dr. Michael Youssef, pastor and scholar, discusses if the end is near -- and his new, aptly titled, "Is the End Near? What Jesus Told Us About the Last Days" book.

It's election time and once again, many Americans are wondering if their ballots will be properly counted, and if their district races will finish with fair outcomes. How did America ever get to the point of being so close to a banana republic? Author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza weighs in on the red flags he still sees with the nation's electoral process -- beginning with the outcome of the Donald Trump v. Joe Biden 2020 count. His view: Enough fraud was committed in 2020 that the White House was stolen from Trump. Meanwhile, Pew Research finds that far too many Americans -- mostly Republicans -- are fearful this midterm will travel a fraud-filled path and culminate in unearned wins for Democrats. The problem is we've allowed too much mail-in balloting and early voting. It's time to get back to Election Day -- as a single day.

Donald Trump may be a former president, but he still carries a big stick. When it comes to his public speeches and his obvious love for America, there are few who can compare. Just ask a historian. Craig Shirley, Reagan biographer and best-selling historian, discusses some of Trump's greatest speeches, what made Trump such a great public speaker, and why his messages continue to resonate with the American people even today. Here's a hint: Trump, unlike any other president in modern times, understood the concept of God-given rights. He understood the foundations of American Exceptionalism.

Democrats are treading a very evil path, and it's called abortion. President Joe Biden has announced his first move in the new Congress if Democrats are in power come January 2023 will be to bring forth legislation to codify abortion around the nation -- no matter what states say and citizens vote. That, as Defense Secretary Floyd Austin just announced taxpayer funded assistance for members of the military who want abortions. And that as California under Gov. Gavin Newsom is rapidly becoming the mecca for demonic forces. Newsom not only has taken to billboarded messages across the state -- where he quotes the Bible in support of abortion. But he's pushing a bill, along with his band of merry Democrats, that will allow a woman to abort a baby pretty much anytime along the pregnancy path, even during delivery. It doesn't get any more evil than that. As Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills says, Gavin is becoming a "dark lord" overseeing a state that God won't leave unpunished. And if America goes California? Prayers for the nation would fall on deaf ears. Listen -- and vote wisely this coming Tuesday!

Democrats for decades have been tearing down traditional family structure, trying to make it seem as if the normal is abnormal, and vice versa. And recently, the left has seized on the notion of toxic masculinity, making it appear as if men, as if manhood, as if masculinity itself are just shy of caveman behaviors and that if it weren't for Democrats, and particularly radical feminist Democrats, that this entire sex would be doomed for self-destruction. Toxic masculinity has seemingly become equated with criminal behavior. From there, the left has then sold the idea that if the default position for men is criminal behavior, then the solution for this toxic masculinity is for men to become more like women -- and from there, sold the idea that fair is fair, if men can become women then women should be allowed to become men. Voila, the transgender movement moves mainstream. Thankfully, backlash to the insanity is building and there are groups, like the Promise Keepers, who don't mind taking a stand on the wall to defend manhood. CEO Ken Harrison discusses.

For over two years, the nation's highest paid bureaucrat, Anthony Fauci, skipped his way to near dictatorial powers by pretending to be "science" while advising, recommending and guiding what Americans should do to fight off the coronavirus. Problem is, his advice, recommendations and guidance were more often than not taken as dictates. And that he was able to become America's Tyrant and seize individual liberties on a daily basis by ducking and dodging accountability and using language that gave him the tools to duck and dodge -- saying things like perhaps, and potentially, and maybe -- is a horrible truth that is only growing more horrible by the day. Why? Well, now Fauci's out there in the media merrily gaslighting the American public. For instance, he now says he had nothing to do with closing down America's public schools. Really? He must be held accountable for his deceptions and spins and lies. A new film, "The Real Anthony Fauci," based on Robert Kennedy's book of the same title, gets the ball rolling. Producer Jeff Hays discusses and warns that unless midterms fall the right way, Fauci may escape accountability.

Ever wonder why God deems it improper to wear an item of clothing that's made from both linen and wool? These strange-sounding laws that hail from the Old Testament seem so out-of-place, ancient and even radical by modern standards. But there are good reasons -- and nobody breaks it down better than Bible scholar, best-selling author and media voice Dennis Prager. His latest "Rational Bible: Deuteronomy" tells why this ancient book of the Bible is maybe most pertinent to the forging of America, and even the modern governance of America. Of course, the more secular America grows, the weaker this truth becomes. But the preservation of our liberties depends on the ability of the coming generations to relearn old lessons, beginning with the one that biblical principles were forged into America's fabric from the start and that means if they're lost, if they're forgotten, if they're pushed to the side in favor of secularism and an atheistic culture, then our individual liberties will disappear.
