Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of Center for Immigration Studies.--Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk with headlines pointing to the consequences of the lax border control policies of the Biden-Harris administration. They dismantled the Trump border security initiatives and the result has been havoc all over the country. Social Services are also being stretched where U.S. citizens are either being delayed or outright denied services. Finally, there is great suspicion as to whether those who are hear illegally are being registered to vote and plan to participate in the November election.--Mark responded by noting that there is talk of a decline at the border. However, he believes part of it is real and part of it is fake. The real part is that in order to make certain Trump doesn't win the election, the Mexican government is engineering an interruption in the flow of illegal aliens. That way the Biden-Harris administration can say they fixed the problem. On the other hand, the fake part is that the goal of the current administration all along has been to reduce illegal crossings at the border by unlawfully waiving in illegals through the normal ports of entry and airports.--Here's how it works. Mark noted how the government has two programs where they use parole, which is limited immigration power. Under this scenario, the president can let someone in who has no right to be here. This might involve someone with a serious medical concern or someone who is required to testify in a trial and they can't get a visa. The person handles their business and they are escorted back to the border.

Ken Ham is founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and its two life-changing attractions, the highly acclaimed Creation Museum, and the world-renowned Ark Encounter. Ken is a biblical apologist and author of more than 30 books. Some of his latest include Divine Dilemma (understanding death, disease, and suffering), Divided Nation (about today's culture wars), and the devotional commentary Creation to Babel. Ken is a blogger and speaker on Answers…with Ken Ham.Ken described the climate change movement as a religious, anti-God movement that causes man to become his own God. In this regard he described the time last year when John Kerry returned from the World Economic Forum. Kerry described how there's an elite group of people that will save mankind and the planet. That's unbiblical because it's God who saves, not man. So just as with the creation/evolution issue, the beliefs of people determine their worldview. That in turn determines how they'll view things like fossils, life, or in the case of this broadcast...climate. It appears to be all about fear mongering in order to obtain control. Why do we need carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Why is water vapor so important? Why is there an emphasis on not eating meat and not having children among the climate change crowd? Can man destroy the earth? Hasn't the climate always been changing? Does observational science compare with the information put forth by those spreading fear of climate change? Ken answers these questions, as he describes his new book, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Barbara Loe Fisher is president of the National Vaccine Information Center -NVIC-, a non-profit charity she co-founded with parents of DPT vaccine injured children in 1982.--August marks the annual observance of National Immunization Awareness Month. However, since the COVID shot was released, there's been a greater skepticism on the part of many individuals regarding whether they should readily accept all the shots and boosters recommended by the FDA and the CDC. People are asking more questions, not only about the COVID shots, but as a new school year begins, parents are wondering about all the vaccine doses they're told to obtain for their children and they're wondering if they're making the right decisions. After all, what about other options, side-effects and what about HPV vaccines----So if informed consent is of interest to you, you'll want to review this edition of Crosstalk as Barbara covered many facets of the immunization debate as it pertains to children. Some of the points she covered included- --The attitudes of Republicans vs. Democrats related to vaccines. -The disturbing growth of the childhood vaccine recommendations list.-The religious exemption option.-Have shots been given to students without the knowledge or consent of parents---Have people been threatened, coerced or thrown out for not wanting to get certain vaccines for their children or for proposing a different vaccine schedule----There's more to take in, including answers to questions from listeners nationwide.

Jim opened up with historic words from President Abraham Lincoln in an 1863 proclamation. It reads like this----We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven- we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity- we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God.---Joining Jim to discuss this issue while providing a biblical solution was David Smith. David is executive director of Illinois Family Institute and Illinois Family Action. David has 30 years of experience in public policy and grass-roots activism, addressing issues such as the sanctity of life, natural marriage, broadcast decency, sex education, marijuana, gambling, abortion, homosexuality, tax policy, drug decriminalization and pornography.--David noted that since Abraham Lincoln communicated that America had forgotten God, where are we now-- We're perhaps not forgetting him. Instead we're shaking our fist in his face and saying, -You're not telling us what to do-- In response, he described his campaign to call America to humility and prayer, appealing to God for his mercy.--If you believe, as David does, that we're living in -Babylon- and that we need to engage in prayer, review this edition of Crosstalk where you'll find out more about his September campaign and how you and your church can get involved.

He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement. --Randy Melchert is an attorney, a school administrator, a researcher, a consultant and a member of the VCY America Board of Directors.--Randy began the broadcast with some historical background on presidential elections, particularly in the days when campaigns were not -made for TV- but rather, were often battled through the newspapers. He also reminded listeners not to forget about the Senate seats, House seats and state legislature seats up for grabs. Remember, it was state legislatures that closed churches during COVID, so it's important to be engaged with those elections as well.--Governor Tim Walz accepted the nomination for Vice President of the U.S. last evening. Dr. Schmidt commented on the problems that are inherent in what the governor said as he spoke about the things he accomplished in Minnesota, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg who claims Republicans are selling -darkness-, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx refusing to prosecute protesters and Oprah Winfrey choosing emotion over substance.--Crosstalk callers let their thoughts be known as well.
