Crosstalk America

J.R. Harrison is the director of the National Family Foundation while Rob Pue is the founder & publisher of Wisconsin Christian News. The natural family is under attack and targeted for destruction. Just look at how America has redefined terms such as "marriage", "family", "male" and "female". When changed, what's to stop them from expanding to unknown levels? Consider the hijacking of our calendar. Gay pride day has turned into gay pride month. Now the GLAAD LGBTQ calendar has the following: February 7th--National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The week after Valentine's Day--Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week. February 28--HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day. March--Bisexual Health Awareness Month. Also in March--National LGBT Health Awareness Week. There's many more that could be listed from throughout the year but you get the point. Instead of reacting by cursing the darkness, Rob Pue and J.R. Harrison is instead lighting a candle in celebration of what's being called, "Natural Family Month", which extends from Mother's Day to Father's Day. It's not about complaining. Instead, it's an attempt to take a positive approach by citing a historical, best practice. To find out how you can get a Natural Family Month celebration started in your community and what's involved in the natural family promise, listen to this broadcast and then go to the link below.

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. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. Pro-Islamic uprisings are taking place on university campuses across the nation. These universities have been called incubators of terrorism. Columbia University has been "ground zero" for these uprisings. It's spreading like wildfire with people like Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a strong supporter of Hamas, fanning the flames. Usama calls these university protests, "...the early fruits of the tree of Islam which has been growing in our land..." Usama described how Muslims want the name of Israel changed to Palestine and the last Jew killed along with all those who stand against Islam. By doing that, they believe we'll have world peace. However, he also noted that if this were to ever happen, it would be the fast "falling down" of Islam around the world. Why? It's because of something the world doesn't want to talk about. It's the fact that this is when Muslims would really begin killing each other in larger numbers than we've ever seen. This is due to the fact that there are more Muslims killed at the hands of other Muslims than by the hand of any infidel. Did these protests just appear out of nowhere? At what point will Muslims have the upper hand? What exactly is the connection between Hamas and the Palestinians? The answers to these and other questions, along with what's being chanted and spoken at the protests, points to the fact that Islam has a plan for America that precedes even the barbaric October 7th attack on Israel.

Andy Ferrier is a Representative of the Midwest Messianic Center. Andy is burdened with reaching Jewish people with the good news that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Jewish Messiah. An anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment is exploding on university campuses across the country especially in the bluest of cities. There are those calling for another "October 7th" on every day of the year. There are those calling for the Intifada, which is wiping Israel off the face of the earth. University campuses have been the breeding grounds for anti-Jewish hatred. Just earlier today, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement condemning the anti-Semitic protests saying it was reminiscent of 1930's Germany. This hatred of Jewish people is growing during this week of Passover. Not only is there trouble at home, but Hezbollah attacked Israel during the Passover holiday. This program discusses the antisemitism taking place, and gives information and understanding about Passover itself.

Robert J. Morgan is the Leader of Robert J. Morgan Ministries, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to energize God's people with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Bible and Christian heritage. He served in pastoral ministry for over 40 years. Do you struggle in your faith as you observe a world that is falling apart? Each day do you wake up wondering what is going to happen next and will you be able to survive? We observe a political system that has run amok with more of our freedoms being taken while "the system" gains control. There is unrest in the world and we wonder when or where the next military action will take place. We see problems in our healthcare system with escalating rates, longer wait times and denial of care. Our education system is doing more brainwashing than educating. Uprisings are taking place on university campuses. Inflation is off the charts and we wonder what the next grocery item will be that we can no longer afford. There is a growing animosity toward Christianity and a greater intolerance of Christian values and beliefs. Are these things rocking your boat? The early Christian church in Philippi was distressed over the terrible things that had happened to the apostle Paul such as his imprisonment in Caesarea, his shipwreck on Malta, and his looming trial in Rome. Would Paul ever see freedom again? And yet while Paul was imprisoned, the church provided him with both personal support and financial support. Paul being filled with gratitude sent an inspiring letter which we know as the book of Philippians. It's a book that helps us stay strong in our faith as the world falls apart.

Don Feder is a writer, researcher and columnist. He is a graduate of the Boston University College of Liberal Arts and the Boston University Law School. He was admitted to the practice of law in New York and Massachusetts. He was a Boston Herald editorial writer and syndicated columnist for 19 years. Since November of 2021, he has been a staff writer for the Washington Times. He has been a communications consultant, writer and conference organizer for various pro-life and pro-family NGO's. He is the recipient of numerous awards. In Genesis 1 we see the handiwork of God in creation. He created man in his own image. He created male and female. In Genesis 1:28 it says, "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." We see Adam and Eve having Abel, then Cain, and then Seth. In Genesis 5:4 we read that Adam and Eve begat sons and daughters. This carried on person after person. You can read the genealogy in Genesis 5. However, there is a growing problem. It's not that we have too great a population, but rather that worldwide fertility is declining. It's being reported that every industrialized nation today has fertility rates under replacement levels. Our guest today has indicated that we are heading for a demographic train wreck, which he is terming a "demographic winter." Demographers and governments know about it, but no one can figure out what to do about it.

Once again there was no shortage of news stories to review as Jim provided the following for listeners along the network: --Israel's IDF carried out an aerial attack within Iran in response to the barrage of missiles and UAV's launched toward Israel by Iran last Saturday evening. --Senator Ted Cruz slammed President Joe Biden this week for Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel saying the Biden administration paid for the missiles and drones that Iran used. --President Biden's administration announced a new round of sanctions intended to punish key figures in Iran's drone program after those system were used to strike Israel on April 13th. --A band of more than a dozen House lawmakers voted against a resolution condemning Iran for its drone and missile attack against Israel over the weekend. --The U.S. blocked Palestine's latest effort to become a full member of the U.N. on Thursday, using its veto power during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. --Days after the Biden administration gave its blessing to a newly formed Palestinian Authority government in the West Bank, the P.A. handed out dozens of bonus payments for security forces involved in the attacks on Israel. --About 100 protesters that took part in pro-Palestinian occupation camp on a Columbia University lawn were cuffed and hauled away by police in riot gear. --Hundreds of Jew haters armed with torches marched on the campus of Columbia University. --Dozens of Google employees at the company's headquarters in California and New York held protests against company management after they signed a 1.1 billion dollar deal with the Israeli government.

David Rubin is former mayor of Shiloh Israel as well as the author of seven books including, Confronting Radicals: What America Can Learn from Israel. He's the founder and president of Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, established after he and his then three-year-old son were wounded in a terror attack. His websites are DavidRubinIsrael.com and IsraelChildren.org. He is in the region of Judea and Samaria. David began by describing how he reacted upon hearing that Iran had sent missiles toward Israel. Fortunately, 99% of the missiles were picked off by air defenses. One child was wounded badly and there was some property damage. He commented on President Biden who has warned Israel not to retaliate against Iran in a big way. However, David pointed out the reality that Israel is currently fighting a war on five fronts: Lebanon where the Hezbollah terrorist organization is located, Judea and Samaria (West Bank), Gaza, and the south where Iran has been supporting the Houthis. Iran is the fifth front, a nation that is on the nuclear threshold. In the end, he says there will be a response by Israel, and it will be "pretty soon." Is the Biden administration trying to play both ends in the Israel/Iran dilemma? How large is Iran's arsenal and what is the status of their nuclear program? Is the attack by Iran giving Hamas time to regroup? How does David view the anti-Israel protests on college campuses and in leftist cities? These and other questions are answered on this edition of Crosstalk.

Our present society has been compared to a Romans 1 society. Jim read verses 18-28 and if you do the same, you'll see how this parallels America today. It's especially pertinent as we see the LGBTQ+ movement proliferating among us. Is this rebellion against God's design for mankind actually a judgment from God? To help answer that question and update listeners on how this movement continues to affect Christians, Crosstalk welcomed the return of Peter LaBarbera. Peter is founder and president of Americans for Truth. He's a former reporter for the Washington Times and LifeSiteNews.com and a former contributing editor for Human Events. Here's the list of stories that Jim had Peter comment on during the first quarter hour of the broadcast: Males who are gender confused are no longer allowed to compete in women's NAIA sports competition. The vote was 20-0 and impacts about 83,000 athletes in universities around the U.S. Idaho had placed a ban on so-called gender affirming care for adolescents. A lawsuit was filed against this. The court placed a hold on the ban and yesterday the Supreme Court lifted the ban while the case is pending. The Kansas legislature passed the "Forbidding Abusive Child Transitions Act" that would protect minors from the harmful effects of the transitioning procedure. Governor Laura Kelly vetoed this legislation but the senate has the ability to override the veto. Pro-lifers in Michigan have condemned Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer for signing into law a pro-LGBT bill that allows women to be compensated for renting their wombs to people who are looking to obtain a child through surrogacy.

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. The new World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic treaty has been unveiled. The intergovernmental negotiating body of the WHO has been meeting and refining the pandemic treaty in preparation for the 77th World Health Assembly which takes place May 27th through June 1st in Geneva, Switzerland. Multiple planning meetings have been underway since the last world health assembly and in recent weeks the World Health Organization released their revised draft of this pandemic agreement. The Biden administration doesn't refer to this agreement as a treaty, merely an agreement or an accord. Mat contends that it is, in fact, a treaty. Remember, a treaty must be affirmed/ratified by a two-thirds majority vote in the U.S. Senate. Mat believes they won't get that kind of vote, especially when it jeopardizes U.S. sovereignty. The result is that there's an attempt to re-categorize this as a pandemic agreement so that there's no need for a two-thirds vote. In addition to the pandemic treaty/agreement there's also 300+ amendments to the existing international health regulations of the WHO. Mat believes those are just as bad and the Biden administration is pushing to sign on to those amendments as well as the pandemic agreement next month. Can President Biden do this unilaterally? Will it be legally binding and if so, what will this mean for American sovereignty? Find out more, and also hear what was said concerning Iran's attack on Israel.
