In today's limited episode, David uses a fundraising letter from a national Christian public policy and political advocacy organization to help us consider whether its proposed work toward stopping the rise of socialism will be fruitful or unfruitful.

On this week's episode of The Sentinel Report: President Trump just delivered a fiery address at the United Nations, declaring there will be “no global government” and “no global taxes” while he is president. He blasted the International Criminal Court, mass migration, UNESCO, and efforts to impose global control over artificial intelligence. Trump also issued a stark warning to Iran and predicted the eventual collapse of Cuba’s communist regime. We break down what he said—and why it matters.

Then, fresh from his UN address, Trump signed a major new Greenland agreement with Denmark and Greenland. As the strategically vital Arctic territory remains at the center of geopolitical maneuvering, new data are raising questions about the conventional climate narrative surrounding its massive ice sheet.

Also ahead: Why does the federal liability shield for COVID vaccine manufacturers remain in place? Disturbing new research from Finland examines psychiatric outcomes among young people who underwent medical gender reassignment. And the Netherlands has reported the first euthanasia of a child under its expanded rules covering children between the ages of one and twelve. We dig into all of it.

Plus, two fascinating guests join the program.

Lauren Witzke of Noah’s Ark Scans joins us as scientists, researchers, and documentary crews investigate what some believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark. What are they finding—and could modern technology finally help answer one of archaeology’s most enduring biblical mysteries?

Then, longtime liberty movement leader Lawrence W. Reed joins us to discuss his new book, *Born of Ideas: How Principles, Faith, and Courage Forged America*. Reed argues that before the American Revolution became a revolution in government, it was a revolution of ideas—rooted in principle, faith, and moral courage. We explore the forgotten men and women who helped make American liberty possible, and what their example can teach Americans today.

Well, the Pod Ninja isn't here, Neighbor.  But luckily, his daughter Cami is at the table to contribute sparingly and provide his signature, contemplative silence. 

The visit to the orchard was a rousing success, as Corn Man continues to be passed through the generations.

And speaking of generational legacies, we discuss WHY it's funny to expect a wife to call her husband "lord" in 2026.

In this episode, the Pugs welcome back Dr. Natalie Atwell to discuss her new book, Humanity Under Siege. After more than twenty years as a licensed clinical mental health therapist, Dr. Atwell noticed that the cases were becoming stranger. This led her on a quest to figure out why, and she concluded that there was a spiritual dimension that counseling had largely ignored. She then worked on diagnostic tools that could determine whether “other influences” were causing mental health problems in patients. This book is the result. The Pugs have an engaging conversation with her about her work and a range of related topics surrounding the spiritual dimensions of mental health therapy.

Our two big China training events are complete, but I’m already back on the road in Macau. Today’s show (besides the intro/outro) is a mashup of a couple previous episodes about Macau, the Las Vegas of Asia, where I am ministering this weekend. After a brief Macau introduction, we remember Pastor Lucky and learn about his “unsolvable Chinese complex”, followed by the story of early pioneer missionaries Morrison & Milne, who served right here in Macau over 200 years ago. Finally, I share my “SARS Survival Story”, from the very first episode of this podcast.
