What is the impact of Palestinian Occupiers/Protestors on college campuses? Are Ivy League schools finally reaping what they've sown over the past 60 years? What impact will Biden's Israel Policy toward Israel have on the November election, especially on young voters? How big is this issue compared to something like the Southern Border? Is Biden governing right now or traveling for votes? How is coordinated anti-semitism happening in real-time in an era that supposedly is hostile to "hate speech"?

Episode 242:Part 1: Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter, Part 2: Is ISIS Back? In Part 1 the discussion revolves around Transgender Day of Visibility falling on Easter Sunday and the Biden Administration's reaction to both events. While Biden's Trans message was 2 pages long his Easter message was a mere 6 sentences. His White House Pre-Easter Egg Roll children's drawing contest banned any Easter drawings with "Religious symbols" or "Themes" How much of an issue should we make of things like this from a Democrat Administration? In Part 2 the guys discuss whether ISIS is back. Did Biden's Afghan withdrawal create a vacuum for ISIS? ISIS attacks are growing--is the U.S. next? How many Islamic Jihadists are coming over Biden's open borders? Is America in a "September 10th" frame of mind?

Part 1: What is the real meaning of Easter, and why is it so celebrated by Christians? When and why did it become as much about the Easter Bunny as about Christ? What miracles happened and what prophecies were fulfilled? Part 2: Is the solar eclipse the end of the world as we know it, or is it another example of how God created the Heavens and the Earth? What do all the Christians who believe this is the return of Christ do for our Witness to the lost if nothing major happens? How do we respond to people who believe every major event is THE next event that ushers in the Second Coming? How many times have they been wrong?

Is Senate Bill 4 too harsh for those seeking to enter the U.S. but doing so illegally? Will Congress act to pass more common-sense immigration legislation before November 5th?

Ibarra had been arrested and released three times before committing this murder.

Post Roe Abortion, and Can Conservative Politicians Save America? It appears that Trump would support a 16-week abortion ban. Is that enough to hang on to 100% of the Pro-Life vote? Is it too weak? Will independent or undecided voters think it is too restrictive? Also, what if God's plan for the Church in America doesn't hinge on Donald Trump? Will anyone in the Church embrace that? Have so-called Evangelical Conservative/Republican voters been a good representation of Christ and the Gospel?

After a brief look at the Iowa Caucus, The National Crawford Roundtable defines "what is a cult?" What do cults do? How can you avoid being caught up in an organization that acts like one? Trumpers and Never Trumpers: how are they like a cult? Or are they like a cult? Why is there a fixation on him? Why do Cult followers always defend their leader? Is it because they are defending themselves? Is it fair to say that MAGA is not about "America first" but "Trump first"? Does MAGA love the Republican party or just Trump and Trump candidates?

Will the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the Colorado Supreme Court decision removing Donald Trump from the Republican Party Primary ballot? What do we make of those, including Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, calling for Trump to remain on the ballot-is it constitutional fidelity or political theater?

The guys review the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay over plagiarism charges and the reasons her credentials went largely unchecked until now. They also look into the in-depth analysis of the fact that more Progressives are changing their tune on the National Debt, wondering if there might be such a thing as too much of it. And what about a new report that Gen Z young adults have given up on the so-called "American Dream" and are more apt to adopt an "enjoy life now' mentality rather than build for the future? Is hard work no longer an American virtue? If so, how do Christian Conservative Americans work to reverse this trend? How is this impacting the Church and the professing Christian community on the whole?
