VCY America

Mark Hancock is CEO of Trail Life USA and author of, Why Are We Sitting Here Until We Die?Sadly, we live in a society today that's lost its way to such an extent that many don't even seem to know the difference between male and female. Gender confused males are dominating women's sports and now the Boy Scouts, once known for their values and deep respect for both God and country, are dropping the word "Boy" from their name, changing it to "Scouting America".Since the Scouts have seemingly taken the next step down the slippery slope, is there an alternative? Yes there is. It's called Trail Life USA. Mark described how it all started in June of 2013 when about 50 people gathered in Louisville, Kentucky. 68 days later an inaugural convention took place at Nashville, Tennessee, where 1,200 people came from 44 states. That's where they announced the name and the general line of the program. 3 months later, on January 1, 2014, the program was officially launched. Since that time they've grown to over 1,200 troops in all 50 states with nearly 60,000 members. Review this edition of Crosstalk to learn about their motto, their core value, the connection to local churches, their outdoor focus, servant leadership and other hallmarks that make this organization a God-pleasing choice for helping young boys become men of Christ.

The 77th World Health Assembly takes place from May 27th through June 1st in Geneva, Switzerland. The theme is, -All for health, health for all.- This assembly is the main decision making body of the World Health Organization, comprised of 194 member states.--What this assembly has in store for us is what brought Mat Staver back to Crosstalk. Mat is founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. He's a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--Mat noted that just a few years ago there were members of the U.S. Congress that believed the World Health Organization is merely an advisory organization and couldn't be legally binding. Is that really true----First of all, what is the World Health Organization-- The WHO is a U.N. agency located in Geneva, Switzerland, that is pushing what Mat referred to as two different tracks. One has to do with up to 300 amendments dealing with their international health regulations. The other track involves the drafting of a brand new pandemic agreement-treaty. The WHO is trying to get these passed by the 194 member nations of which the U.S. is one. All they need is a simple majority of nations to agree to pass these regulations. This would change the WHO from being an advisory body to one whose statements and advisories would be legally binding under international law on member nations.--Can President Biden unilaterally sign the U.S. under the WHO without approval from the U.S. Senate, and if so, why would he do it-- How could this be challenged-- What might this mean for our national sovereignty and freedom--

Last week, Israel marked their Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when they remember 6 million Jews that were killed by the Nazi regime. From that we fast-forward to October 7th, 2023, when Hamas, the terrorist group, unleashed a very brutal and barbaric attack against Israel. --Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the Rafah operation in Gaza while today, Israel celebrates its independence as 76 years ago, Israel became a nation.--Returning to Crosstalk to discuss the Israeli war and their independence was Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He is the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding.

The U.S. has warned against this, communicating that there could be ramifications for the relationship between the nations if this occurs. --What's happening with the arms shipments between the U.S. and Israel-- --What does the Bible say about antisemitism in these last days-- Will Israel be wiped off the face of the earth-- --What's the latest on the college-university, pro-Hamas-pro-Palestinian protests----Audio from Tarik Ata, an Imam from California, who was pushing for the Islamic faith and the infliction of pain as he gave his opinion on the Israel-Hamas war. --In spite of all this, Israel continues to show their national resilience.

Today we set aside the many issues going on in our world in order to pay tribute to Moms.--This coming Sunday is Mother's Day, which has been around for over 100 years. Though there were some varied celebrations of Mother's Day prior to this, the first official recognition of the holiday was in West Virginia in the early 1900's. Grafton, WV is viewed as being the birth place of Mother's Day.--It was May 14, 1914 that President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day. We recognize Mother's Day as a day set aside to honor our mothers.--One of the examples of a godly mother in Scripture is found in II Timothy 1-5- -When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice- and I am persuaded that in thee also.- It was the influence of a godly mother and grandmother that directly impacted young Timothy to be a follower of Jesus Christ.--Jim Schneider finds this true in his own life as well and shared his personal testimony.--The majority of this program was filled with many listeners who called in to honor their mothers.

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.
