Crosstalk America

Israeli Defense Forces are on high alert over a possible attack from Iran due to the recent killing of Iran-related proxy group leaders. Some speculate that this might only be hours or perhaps days away. There's concern that an attack could spark a greater regional war. This has resulted in the U.S. deploying both increasing naval and air assets to the region to defend Israel in an attempt to hopefully deescalate tensions. What might this signal in terms of Bible prophecy? Returning to Crosstalk to answer that question was Dr. Gary Frazier. Dr. Frazier is a respected speaker and writer on the subject of Bible prophecy. He's the founder and president of Discovery Missions. He is the author of numerous books including: Miracle of Israel, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Hell is for Real, Divorcing God: The Two Americas and The Event: The Dream of World Peace Realized. Gary explained that from the days of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Israel today, we see that Islamic leaders have not changed their mind concerning the total annihilation of Israel and its people. He also noted that there is no such thing as a political solution to a religious problem. So why would anyone, especially the people in Washington, think that Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah would desire to enter into a negotiated agreement to establish peace, especially when under Islam it's OK to lie, manipulate and use infidels to accomplish one's goals? This is the foundation of this edition of Crosstalk that also discusses the following: China has allegedly been goading Iran into attacking Israel. What's behind this? What influence might the U.S. be having on Israel.

Pastor Shahid Kaleem is founder and chairman of Christian Literature & Translation Ministry in Pakistan. He has been partnering for several years with Bible Tracts Inc. for effective ministry of Bible tract and Bible distribution ministry in Pakistan. Pakistan is a nation that comes in at number 5 in terms of world population with just over 251 million. Much persecution is taking place there against Christians because of their stand for the Gospel. This is not surprising because according to Voice of the Martyrs, close to 98% of the population is Muslim while nearly 2% is Christian. Yet while persecution abounds, Christianity is also on the rise. Listen to this broadcast and you'll hear Pastor Kaleem as he describes incidents of persecution/violence that have taken place in Christian areas of Pakistan and how this parallels what happened to Stephen in Acts 6-7. Also discussed is how the Israeli war against Hamas is affecting Christians in Pakistan, their constitution's stand toward Christianity, people coming to Christ in spite of persecution, the need for a printing press for his tract ministry, Pastor Kaleem's personal testimony and much more. Prayerfully consider giving so that as many as possible can be reached with the Gospel in Pakistan.

Scott Schara is the father of Grace Schara, the 19-year-old daughter 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 al. He warns about the dangers of incentivized healthcare. His work and story have been chronicled in a chapter of the Wall Street Journal bestseller, Rise of the Fourth Reich. This broadcast is the 5th on this important topic since January 5th of 2022. Scott gave a brief review of the details of Grace's one-week stay in the hospital and the protocols that actually didn't follow the standards that you hear about concerning COVID-19, which typically involve remdesivir and ventilators. Scott then discusses the lawsuit which is based upon 5 claims: wrongful death, medical malpractice, lack of informed consent, medical battery and a declaratory judgment related to the illegal "do not resuscitate" order. Scott also noted the illegal combination of medicines that Grace was given before her death (Precedex, lorazepam and morphine). It would be helpful to hear the earlier programs dealing with this issue. Go to crosstalkamerica.com.

Jim manned the microphone and presented listeners worldwide with many headlines to prayerfully consider. Here's a sample of what the broadcast had to offer: --A CNN panel laughed and joked how they can now criticize Donald Trump concerning his age claiming he's "diminished". --Congressman Jamie Raskin jumped upon his party's wild claims that Donald Trump is an insurrectionist. Now Raskin appears to be planning his own insurrection by having Congress deny Trump the presidency should he win in November. --The campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to moderate her image on border security. Her campaign chief suggested that she should keep in place a Biden era executive order cracking down on illegal border crossings. This is in spite of the fact that as a Senator from California she actively opposed border enforcement proposals and immigration enforcement advocates. --The Harris campaign has altered it's biography of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on his campaign website, making a change in its reference to his military service amid ongoing scrutiny. The second quarter hour featured an interview with Dr. Patti Giebink, M.D., a board certified OB/GYN, a former abortion doctor, and the author of the book Unexpected Choice. A South Dakota native currently residing in Chamberlain, she has delivered hundreds of babies both domestically and in hospitals overseas. She's a Fellow at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and a member of the South Dakota State Medical Association. Dr. Giebink talked about misinformation taking place in that state pertaining to Amendment G which will be coming up on their November ballot.

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's also the founder of Liberty Sentinel. Many breathed a sigh of relief when the World Health Assembly failed in their attempt to pass a pandemic treaty. Crosstalk warned listeners that this failure would not deter efforts to bring the matter back. More meetings were to come concerning the passing of a treaty as global leaders would come together and keep the topic of pandemics on the front burner. So while families are on vacation this summer, the globalist agenda isn't resting. Just one week ago, July 29th and 30th, there was a Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The meeting brought together experts from manufacturing, research and development, government officials, civil society representatives and leaders from industry and the global health community. The Pandemic Preparedness Summit was convened by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Alex described CEPI as one of the most important organizations you've never heard of. The idea for this organization goes back to 2016 and was portrayed as a partnership between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, a number of governments and the global health authorities at the World Health Organization.

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life. Yesterday the decision was finalized by Vice President Kamala Harris to choose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. Walz is an aggressive supporter of abortion and the LGBTQ agenda. However, on this edition of Crosstalk, Jim and Usama took a look at another side of the ticket as it relates to the issue of Islam. Beginning with Harris, you'll hear from her own words her support for Islam as she notes how we must reject phrases like "radical Islamic terror" and "illegal alien". What she fails to recognize, and as Usama explained, there are six verses in the Qur'an where Allah calls himself a terrorist because he terrorized the infidels. This is consistent with the 1,450 years of terrorism history from this religion, yet when Usama and others speak the truth about Islam, they're accused of preaching hate. Her running mate, Tim Walz, has also been a promoter of Islam. You'll understand why when you hear an audio clip from the governor himself. In spite of the national security implications of Islam that Usama has warned about many times over the years, Governor Walz expressed his support, even going so far as desiring to host the first Iftar celebration at the governor's residence. There's much more to hear, including input from listeners nationwide.

He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement. He has authored several books including: Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel's Gap Paul's Mystery, Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse, Globalism: The Great World Consumption and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism and the De-evolution of Democracy. Pastor Schmidt brought a biblical perspective to two major items in the news--the new Kamala Harris/Tim Walz presidential team and the tensions between Israel and Iran. In the latter case, he discusses how biblical prophecy shows God is not through with the nation of Israel and how they will eventually turn to Christ as at the present time they are serving God in unbelief. So will there be a hostage deal or cease-fire? What are we to make of the tunnels found in Rafah? While rockets fired at Israel are being taken out by their "Iron Dome", is all of this tension setting the stage for the Ezekiel 38-39 war? These and other questions were answered, while listeners were given their chance to respond to this situation that Crosstalk continues to watch closely.

Here's a sample of news stories presented by Jim on this edition of the News Round-Up: --Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed the death earlier this month of Mohammed Deif, dubbed the 'Osama bin Laden of Gaza.' --Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed by an explosion device that detonated in his room and not by a missile as previously believed, according to the New York Times. According to the report, the bomb was planted approximately two months ago in the guesthouse, which is managed and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and is part of a large compound in northern Tehran. --Iranian leader Ali Khamenei vowed revenge for the assassination of the Hamas political chief. Khamenei said, "The criminal, terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our territory and has caused our grief, but it has also prepared the ground for a severe punishment." --Russia has proposed that the U.N. Security Council adopt a statement to condemn the assassination of the Hamas leader but the proposal was blocked by the U.S., the U.K. and also by France. --Iran reportedly took in nearly 16 billion in profits from its illicit oil trade over the past several months, heightening the Biden/Harris administration's perennial lax enforcement of sanctions meant to stymie Tehran's cash flow. --Alejandro Mayorkas has replaced Director Cheatle with the man whose job was to oversee the protective details that failed former President Trump. That man is acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe who worked for the Obama White House. --Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Mat Staver is founder & chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom and Freedom's Call. It is Christians that are often accused of hate for simply agreeing with the Bible that the practices espoused by the LGBTQ movement are an abomination to God. To put it another way, such individuals sometimes accuse Christians of projecting hate when in reality, they are the ones that are guilty of such behavior. The latest example is the extreme hate being shown Kim Davis through threats of physical violence, rape, death and arson. Kim is a retired Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who several years ago boldly refused to violate her conscience when confronted with having to issue a marriage license to people of the same sex. Upon asking for a religious accommodation, Kim was sued and ended up in jail for six days which brought her international attention. She eventually did receive her religious accommodation from then Governor Mat Bevin, but the ACLU continued to press forward and now she has a judgment against her for $360,000. The reason Kim's case is catching so much media attention once again is because this case could be the one to overturn the 2015 Obergefell decision. Mat explains why and how this is causing not only Kim, but Liberty Counsel to be under threat of violence for daring to represent Davis in this battle and help her stand up for her constitutional rights.

Alex Newman is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. The propulsion toward global governance is rapidly advancing as it takes shape on many fronts. For example, we know what's taking place as it relates to climate change and taking control of energy and population control. Then there's the World Health Organization and its push to erase the sovereignty of nations so that they can have power to create a pandemic and have control over our nation's medical supplies, finances, medical passports, vaccinations and health guidelines. We also see the push for a so-called, "international justice system" and an education system controlled by globalists. Now being added to all this is a United Nations effort to impose what's called, "digital public infrastructure". This is to be implemented on citizens within 5 years. It's a surveillance program that seeks total control for every human activity and it's to be functional across national borders. Alex was in-studio with Jim to discuss this latest development and as he spoke, he answered these and other related questions: Is there a correlation between the 50 in 5 program (50 nations involved in 5 years) and Agenda 2030? What does a digital infrastructure look like? How would a digital public infrastructure affect American farmers? What's the correlation between central bank digital currencies and racial equity? Become informed because as you'll hear, digital public infrastructure is going to become so ubiquitous that life will be very difficult without participating in it.
