Crosstalk America

Dale Mason is a husband, father, grandfather, researcher and writer. Though now retired, he served two decades as a vice president at Answers in Genesis. He is founding publisher of the award-winning Answers and Kids Answers magazines. He is author of The 10-Minute Bible Journey and has produced historical research in The Forgotten George Washington Bible: Brown's Self-Interpreting Family Bible of 1792. Skeptics often try to distance God from the history of America. However, there's documented, historic proof that the skeptics are simply wrong. One example is the life of George Washington. Dale has documented such evidence in the first 100 pages of the book discussed here. For example: Learn why Washington was a true Christian and not a deist, God's protection of him during war, his effort to free the slaves that he owned, as well as Dale's answer to the Freemason controversy. Review this fascinating edition of Crosstalk that begins with Dale discussing his acquisition of an 1880's copy of the John Brown Self-Interpreting Bible from his mother. Hear how George Washington had signed on as the first subscriber for one of the earlier versions, the importance of the involvement of a circuit riding preacher known as Jacob Brush regarding the 1792 printing, and much more that Bible history buffs will enjoy!

Alex Newman is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. In addition, he's co-author of Crimes of the Educators, author of Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes and author of, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death. He is also founder and CEO of Liberty Sentinel and a national syndicator of radio and TV programs including Behind the Deep State which airs on WVCY television and vcy.tv. From the World Health Organization, to USAID, to the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, it's no secret that President Trump has been pulling funding away from globalist organizations. This means they desperately want access to your money. In order to do that, there's a powerful, yet little known agency called the International Maritime Organization that is in the process of imposing the first global tax on humanity. With this tax they will have direct access to independent funding. This is basically a global shipping fuel tax supposedly designed to thwart carbon emissions and climate change. Keep in mind, if they can tax world shipping, there's nothing that can stop them from moving on to tax agriculture, air travel, energy production, civilian transportation and other things. With that income they can then fund armies, police, social engineering programs, propaganda campaigns and much more.

Usama Dakdok is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992. The infiltration of Islam continues in the U.S. This past February, Crosstalk warned listeners about the formation of "EPIC City" near Dallas, Texas (EPIC stands for East Plano Islamic Center). The city will eventually have exclusive Islamic grocery stores, schools, elderly assistance centers and more. Just a few weeks ago, the Houston Chronicle wrote about thousands of Muslims that gathered at the Sugarland, Texas, town square for what organizers said was the largest, open air Iftar celebration in the region. Then at the end of March, the White House sponsored an Iftar dinner. There's also a CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) linked event that hopes to place Muslim-Americans in federal jobs. These efforts prove how Islam is affecting America. Next on their agenda is an event set to take place on April 28th-29th. That's when the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations is hosting the 10th annual National Muslim Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. The event will bring in Muslim leaders, activists, as well as constituents from all across America. The goal is to directly engage with members of Congress as they promote the theme: Defending rights. Shaping policy.

Dr. Lutzer is an award-winning author. Some of his titles include, We Will Not Be Silenced., The Eclipse of God, When a Nation Forgets God, The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, One Minute After You Die and numerous other titles. He joined us to discuss his newly revised book, Putting Your Past Behind You. Do you realize that the pain in your past can be overcome; that the sins you've committed or had committed against you and the guilt associated with that can become the victory of tomorrow? If you've been suffering under such weight, there's good news. You can obtain relief from life's deepest hurts while seeing how God can use your past as a blessing for others. In other words, while you may not forget what occurred in your past, it no longer has to serve as the controlling reality that forms your identity. How do we resolve any hostility we may have toward God because of our past? Amidst temptations and trials, what are the escape routes? What does it mean to end the denial game? How can people confront fatal addictions? What's the difference between forgiveness and cleansing? The answers to these and other questions are part of this broadcast that when followed, can be the launchpad toward healing and renewal.

Mat Staver is the Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. He is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom and Freedom's Call and the TV broadcast Freedom Alive. So much is occurring at near lightning speed. We are less than 100 days into the Trump Administration and just look how much up-ending has been done. Borders have become secure and great efforts are underway to remove those in our country illegally with emphasis on those who have committed some very atrocious offenses. The bloat of government is being deflated and downsized. DEI has been targeted for defeat on all levels and sanity is being restored so that we again recognize biological males as males and biological females as females. But at every turn activist federal judges have been usurping the power of the President to administrate. At the same time there have been both victories and battles going on over a number of significant issues. Over recent years efforts have been made to shut down conservative voices and bankrupt conservative organizations. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has represented a client that has been trying to bankrupt Liberty Counsel, and now Liberty Counsel is fighting back in an offensive position.

For some your mind may travel back to Biblical times when Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal and Ashtoreth on Mount Carmel. Others may think of the early Roman empire who followed polytheism. It may take you to the Middle Ages or it may make you think of practices that are void of knowledge of the one true God which happen in remote villages around the world. But did you know Paganism is running rampant right now in 2025 in the United States? There are those who celebrate Pagan Pride Day with events taking place in cities across the country. Specifically there is an annual event called Paganicon where pagans from all over converge. The most recent Paganicon was held in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota. Our guest attended Paganicon 2025 last month and is here today with a report.

Scott Schara was the father of Grace Schara. Grace was a 19-year-old with Down Syndrome who tested positive for COVID, was hospitalized and treated following the protocols carried out in hospitals across the country. Grace was ushered into eternity on October 13, 2021. Scott is presently engaged in a landmark lawsuit Schara vs. Ascension Health et all. He warns about the dangers of incentivized healthcare and where this leads. He hosts his own show Deprogramming with Grace's Dad. His work and story have been chronicled in a chapter of the Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Rise of the Fourth Reich. His writing has also appeared in Assault on the Image of God. His lawsuit is scheduled to face a jury trial in June 2025. To begin the program, Jim states how thankful his is for those who work in the medical field that are truly vested in caring for the best interest of their patient. To iterate this gratitude, Jim shared a personal experience from 10 years ago and said, "Due to the quick and right actions of the staff in that emergency room, certainly directed as an act from God, my life was spared." But incidents like Jim shared are not always the case. What we all have witnessed with the COVID pandemic was shocking as the first course of action at many facilities was a denial of medications such as Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. Instead protocol was obtaining consent for a ventilator and treating individuals with Remdesivir only to find later that this was a protocol that ended many lives. Tragically, there are those within the medical profession or in medical administration that have given themselves over to big pharma or to incentivized healthcare.

Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues and serves as the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies. They are an independent, non-partisan research organization that examines and critiques the impact of immigration on the United States. Mark has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets. 11 weeks ago, Donald Trump was inaugurated. The welcome mat for those entering America illegally was rolled back. It's been reported that border crossing numbers hit a new low in March. Federal agents encountered about 7,000 people entering the U.S. illegally in March of 2025 compared to 137,000 individuals crossing illegally in March of 2024. This is a 94% decrease. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conduct arrests while rogue federal judges try to stop deportations. The Trump Administration has not wavered in their commitment to secure the borders and make America safe again.

Highlighted by tariff news, here's a sample of what Jim presented on this week's 'Round-Up' broadcast: --The Trump administration has deported over 100,000 illegal migrants since taking office and has arrested more than 110,000. --Radical left activist federal district judges have continued to issue a seemingly endless list of injunctions against President Trump's executive orders. By what authority do they have to do this? This was discussed in a hearing by Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy and Assistant Attorney General nominee Brett Shumate. Jim provided audio of the exchange. --Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley has introduced a bill that seeks to clarify the role of the Judicial branch and limit federal court orders by ending universal injunctions. --Representative Jim Jordan, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, told Newsmax on Tuesday that he believes Congress has the will to use its constitutional power to prevent what he considers judicial overreach used at the district court level to usurp President Trump's authority. --After months of anticipation, President Trump rolled out his plans to implement historic tariffs on Wednesday, transforming the nation's trade policy with the stroke of his pen. --President Trump's sweeping tariffs on dozens of foreign trading partners has unleashed a rapid response abroad with European leaders urging negotiations and pondering retaliatory measures. --U.S. companies had 2.4 trillion of valuation wiped out yesterday after Trump's tariffs. Virtually every sector suffered big losses.
