Crosstalk America

Perhaps you're not aware, but there are ways in which Agenda 2030 is being methodically implemented, not just in the U.S. but around the world. This has ramifications for our economy, our food supply/security, land use, private property, our energy independence and much more. This pressure isn't just coming from the United Nations. Sometimes this pressure comes from our own state legislatures and city planning commissions.Regardless of the level of influence, there are those making a positive impact on many fronts. These individuals realize that this is not a spectator sport and that as many as possible must be engaged to make a difference. One of those difference makers is Tom DeWeese. Tom is president of American Policy Center. Tom is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education, American sovereignty and independence and protecting our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights. Tom is also the grassroots coordinator for CFACT.Tom framed the discussion by noting that there's always been a force in human society that seeks to rule everyone else. They usually put together armies, invade, break things, kill people and subjugate others. In the same way we have people today who are diabolical. They've come up with a way to get us to voluntarily give up our liberties in order to subjugate us. It's the scare tactic of environmental Armageddon. It's about creating a crisis leading to fear. If you look deeply into it you'll find that almost everything they're proposing to allegedly save the planet is actually much more damaging than anything currently being done.

Here's a sample of the many stories Jim rolled out to get listeners caught up on the news. Listeners were given their chance to comment as well.--The Supreme Court seems poised to allow former President Trump to remain on the Colorado ballot and expressing deep concerns about permitting a single state to disqualify the leading Republican candidate from seeking national offices.--A visibly upset President Joe Biden addressed the nation late Thursday to respond to news that a special counsel tasked with investigating his handling of classified documents had chosen not to charge him but also detailed numerous examples of his memory loss. The special counsel report, while clearing the president, sparked questions about his mental fitness. --President Biden got completely lost during a press conference and a reporter had to remind him they were talking about Hamas. --Congressional Republicans were quick to condemn the Justice Department for not prosecuting Joe Biden for his mishandling of classified documents despite charging former President Trump in the case against him.--Nikki Haley was defeated in the Nevada GOP primary Tuesday night despite the fact that Donald Trump was not on the ballot. The person who won was labeled, "None of these candidates." --Former President Trump cruised to an easy victory in the Nevada GOP caucus on Thursday evening.--A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled that Donald Trump does not have immunity from charges that he plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeat, bringing him a step closer to an unprecedented criminal trial.--Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Hamas' cease-fire demands on Wednesday.

Jay Seegert is the founder & managing director for The Starting Point Project. He holds degrees in both Physics and Engineering Technology. Jay is an international speaker and author.This coming Monday, February 12th, is the birthday of Charles Darwin who was born in 1809. This is the same day as Lincoln's birthday, but unlike the former president, Darwin was a promoter of evolution and his teachings have been promoted throughout society, especially in educational settings and museums. Sadly, this theory has also been adopted by many churches and religious organizations.Back in 2004, a man named Michael Zimmerman was engaged in a battle against a school district in Wisconsin because he didn't like creation being taught. He brought approximately 200 clergy together to sign a letter to the school board. As a result, they retracted their policies regarding the teaching of creation.Zimmerman was encouraged by this and others encouraged him to take this nationwide, so he started the Clergy Letter Project. The goal was to get churches to celebrate evolution on the Sunday closest to Darwin's birthday. So from 2006 to 2007 they celebrated what was called, "Evolution Sunday." That was expanded to "Evolution Weekend" from 2008-2022. Then last year it was changed to "Religion and Science Weekend." This program covers who Charles Darwin was and what he believed, evolution's undeniable racist thread, the biblical problems with evolution, and the unfortunate attempt at syncretism that's causing some churches to fall prey to this errant teaching.

Many skeptics feel the Bible is a fairy tale or myth. Some claim it can't be trusted because it's full of contradictions and errors. Still others doubt the locations and events that the Bible describes. While the historical accuracy of the Bible has fallen under increased scrutiny and has been a topic of debate, new archaeological discoveries from an expanding host of ancient sites found in Bible lands continue to provide evidence pertaining to questions of reliability.To provide insight on this issue, Crosstalk welcomed Dr. Titus Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy is a professional archaeologist and a research fellow at Discovery Institute. He is a consultant, writer and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula, and currently directs archaeological projects in Bible lands. He's also researched and photographed archaeological sites and artifacts around the world. He's an author of the newly released, The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands: Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean World.Dr. Kennedy noted that if we didn't know where many biblical ancient sites were, we'd have a very different view of geography and specifically, biblical geography. So don't miss this edition of Crosstalk as Dr. Kennedy shares examples showing why archaeological sites have been instrumental for furthering our understanding of ancient locations, geography, history, chronology, economics, language, religion and the culture of the biblical world. For example, you'll hear about the following:What archaeology tells us about the size of the ancient biblical world.What constitutes an archaeological site?

Recently Jim reported on some startling figures indicating that nearly 30% of Gen-Z'ers are identifying as LGBTQ+. In some areas, Social Services are removing minor children from parents because they believe parents are not affirming. The Daily Caller is running a story today regarding audio they've obtained of a psychologist at a medical training summit in 2022. This psychologist indicated that it's parents who do not affirm their child's gender identity as having a mental illness.What's causing this brainwashing that makes people believe that socialism is better for America, that taking the life of the unborn is good but abusive to women to protect that same life? Perhaps even more telling is a statistic from George Barna and the Cultural Research Center indicating that pre-teens are on track to abandon biblical Christianity in record numbers. Can we document what's causing this deterioration of society? William Federer can and he does just that on this broadcast. He's a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. He has authored numerous books including, America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America?, and Socialism: The Real History From Plato to the Present - How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.The best way to summarize this edition of Crosstalk is through the following quote by socialist Antonio Gramsci, who realized that if you're going to defeat the West, you have to do it slowly by rotting things from the inside. It's known as the long march through the institutions.

One state, however, decided to take action. The governor of Texas made great efforts to secure his state but is being thwarted and fought against by the Biden administration. Speaking of the President, he curtailed many of the Trump policies which brought much broader protection to the U.S. He seeks to blame the previous administration and Congress as a source for failing to take action on what he describes as meaningful border control legislation. So what about the Senate? Just yesterday they released their border bill. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson described it as "dead on arrival."Just how bad is the situation? FBI Director Christopher Wray has indicated that the number of illegal immigrants evading border patrol agents and escaping into our nation is a source of "great concern for the FBI." Andrew noted that in December, Customs and Border Protection encountered about 300,000 people entering the U.S.

Below is a brief look at a number of key stories presented by Jim from this week's broadcast:--Earlier this week, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri grilled Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), at a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting. Jim provided audio from the exchange.--A bipartisan bill to slash taxes for businesses and enhance the child tax credit is a step closer to becoming law.--"Joshua Schulte betrayed his country by committing some of the most brazen, heinous crimes of espionage in American history." That's a statement from U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. Schulte, a former CIA officer, was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Thursday over a litany of charges. --Mat Staver will bring oral arguments Wednesday morning before the Florida Supreme Court regarding a proposed amendment to the Florida constitution that would codify unrestricted abortion as a right. Mat appeared via a pre-recorded segment with Jim where he outlined the issue.--Representative Ilhan Omar made concerning comments about her primary interest while serving in Congress. What is that interest? It's to protect Somali interests. Jim presented audio from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene who commented on the issue from the House floor.--The Council on American/Islamic Relations (CAIR) has welcomed introduction of a congressional resolution. It's Senate Resolution 534, recognizing January as Muslim/American Heritage Month, designed to celebrate the achievements of American Muslims.--The House of Representatives voted on banning all perpetrators of the October 7th Israeli massacre from having entry into the U.S. The House voted in favor of it, 422-2.

He is co-author of Crimes of the Educators, author of Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes and the new book, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death. He's also founder of Liberty Sentinel.The World Health Organization is promoting a pandemic treaty for all nations of the world to surrender individual sovereignty to a worldwide body to make your healthcare decisions and that of the world. In fact, next week, February 5th-9th, is the seventh meeting of the working group on amendments to the International Health Regulations. The document would be binding as international law.Also on the international health front, world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, and one of the topics of discussion was preparation for a worldwide pandemic known as Disease X. Alex described it as a hypothetical/theoretical disease that might be 20 times more deadly than COVID-19. It's a "placeholder" that governments and international organizations are using to make preparations in terms of pharmaceutical preparedness and equipment. He also sees it as a pretext to justify some radical policy power grabs on the international level. Jim provided audio from Tedros Ghebreyesus, the leader of the World Health Organization, as he spoke to the World Economic Forum. Alex unpacked the comments of Ghebreyesus in light of his background as he was one of the top leaders of a Marxist/terrorist organization in Ethiopia.Was COVID-19 a trial run for what might take place with Disease X?

Increasingly, the push for full acceptance and promotion of the LGBTQ+ agenda is advancing. In fact, According to one poll, 28% of Gen-Z adults are identifying as LGBTQ. The result? Women's sports are being decimated and dominated by men who are identifying as women. Leading up to the Super Bowl, the NFL is committed to bowing to the diversity, equity and inclusion movement as it will be hosting the third annual, "A Night of Pride" with GLAAD during Super Bowl Week. Politically, additional LGBTQ+ appointments to the federal bench are being made by the Biden administration, while polyamory is on the increase.Are we fast approaching the days of Lot? That's a question to ponder as Crosstalk welcomed Peter LaBarbera back to Crosstalk. Peter is the 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. The Public Religion Research Institute is the organization making the claim that 28% of Gen-Z adults (ages 18-25) are identifying as LGBTQ. Peter doesn't completely believe that figure because he contends that the PRRI is a liberal polling group and that it's in their interest to promote progressive ideas in religion and Christianity. Nonetheless, he found out from Gallop in early 2022 that based upon polling from the previous year, 20.8% of Gen-Z'ers were identifying as LGBT. Peter believes this crisis is the result of the "mainstreaming" of perversion toward young people and that this activity expands the list of perversions. This broadcast demonstrates what recent history has shown us in this regard.

January 27th, was International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The words "Never Again" was associated with lessons learned from the holocaust that never again would such genocidal actions take place. Yet on October 7th, 2023, another genocidal attack took place by Hamas. Calling this attack genocidal is no exaggeration as the Hamas charter expresses the goal of wiping Israel off the face of the earth. So as a means of self-preservation, Israel has gone to war against Hamas in an attempt to permanently eradicate the threat.The war is now in its 17th week. As of today, rockets continue to be launched toward Israel. Recently, at an outpost in Jordan, 3 U.S. soldiers were killed and over 30 service members were injured by a drone attack. All this is taking place while threats continue to come from Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi camps.Appearing on Crosstalk to bring his perspective on Israel and the Middle East was Dr. Jim Showers. Dr. Showers is executive director of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. He leads this ministry that for over 85 years has been meeting the spiritual and physical needs of Jewish people worldwide, standing against every form of anti-semitism, while supporting the right of the Jewish people to live in their ancient homeland. This ministry is also actively engaged in providing bomb shelters for Israelis. Dr. Showers also leads tours to Israel and serves as a conference teacher. He's served with FOI since 2002.The discussion between Jim and Dr. Showers covered many aspects of current life in Israel and how the nation is moving forward in the midst of war.
