Crosstalk 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 tr

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 internationa

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. He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement.--This edition of Crosstalk covered a lot of ground as Jim and Dr. Schmidt discussed the following--The latest news concerning Israel's attack on Rafah. Th

Jim was back at the helm presenting stories from the news desk. Here's a brief sample-----Robert Kennedy Jr. has confirmed that he supports abortion right up to birth.----The mayor of Tel Aviv has canceled their pride parade. ----A West Virginia judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing several middle school girls to compete after the school district banned them from competition after refusing to play against a biological male.----The ELCA has created a year-long queer confirmation curriculum for homosexual youth.----Pennsylvania parents are demanding answers after a queer witch was brought into the school to speak to 14 year olds about dating violence and to survey the children on sexual topics.----During a Tuesday hearing, the Secretary of Education declined to answer questions about whether he would let boys fight his girl in sports or undress in front of her.----In Colorado, the state legislature has passed a law that compels speech on the part of school teachers by requiring them to use whatever pr

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

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 functio

Todd Nettleton is the host of the Voice of the Martyrs Radio and is Vice President of Message for the Voice of the Martyrs-USA. Todd is author of Forbidden- 40 Days on the Frontlines with Persecuted Christians.--Our Constitution recognizes the free exercise of religion, yet we take it for granted. We have Bibles available seemingly everywhere, even on our phones, yet do we use them-- Churches are still prevalent in America but are you attending as you should-- The fact is, we're often lackadaisical when it comes to our Christian faith and the freedom we have to practice it. In addition, it's a foreign thought to even think about the fact that others worldwide are being persecuted for that same faith in Jesus Christ. This shouldn't surprise us because as Todd realizes, in many places around the world, the most dangerous item a person can own is a Bible.--Todd described how it's not uncommon for someone to be beaten if they're found to be reading the Bible or to be arrested if found in possession of one. In res

Rev. Jim Harden is the President and CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. His own center was targeted by abortion terrorism.--Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil- that put darkness for light, and light for darkness- that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter- -Isaiah 5-20---There appears to be a thirst for blood in our land that should shake our nation to its very core. America needs to realize that the dominant theme in this election cycle is the murdering of pre-born babies. It's part of the mantra for the presidency, it's happening in U.S. House and Senate races, it's happening in state house races, and it's happening in the campaigns of judges, attorney generals and district attorneys. The list goes on. Multiple states will have abortion on their ballots this November.--But even all of this is not satisfying our nation's appetite for blood and death. Top law enforcement officials are going after those who stand for the sanctity of human life and seeking to either put them o

Dalton filled in for Jim this week and here's a sample of the news stories he had to offer-----4 law enforcement officers were killed on Monday and 4 other officers injured in Charlotte, NC, after being shot while attempting to serve a warrant.----The European Union's foreign policy chief says that several EU member states will recognize Palestinian statehood by the end of May, despite Israeli opposition.----The International Olympic Committee has made it clear that Palestine will be represented as if it is its own nation at the Olympics.----The U.S. has announced that 5 Israeli military units committed grave human rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank before Hamas launched its attack on October 7th.----Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that he would not accept an end to the war in Gaza as part of a potential hostage deal.----Former U.S. Army Vice Chief of Staff General Jack Keane says sources reveal Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is protecting

As Dalton opened up the broadcast he asked the following questions- Where do you go for truth-- What is truth-- How can we know it----If these are questions you've asked yourself or others, you'll want to take notes on this broadcast called, Discerning Truth in the Age of Deception. This program was a rebroadcast of the VCY March 2024, Spring Rally that featured speaker Mike Gendron.--Dalton set the tone for the hour by playing audio from Mike as he quoted A.W. Pink, one of the most influential evangelical authors of the second half of the 20th century. Pink was quoted as saying----The hardest task before most of us is not to learn, but to unlearn. Many of God's own children have drunk so deeply of the sweetened poison of Satan, that it is by no means easy to get it out of their systems- and while it remains in them, it stupefies their understanding.---No matter how religious you may think you are, are you willing to unlearn what you were falsely taught and learn the truth from God's Word----A critical factor

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. NVIC is a national, grassroots movement and public information campaign to institute vaccine safety reforms and informed consent protections in the public health system. She has researched, analyzed and publicly articulated the major issues involving the science, policy, law, ethics and politics of vaccination to become one of the world's leading non-medical, consumer advocacy experts on the subject.--Our nation continues to reel from the COVID shot that in numerous aspects has remained veiled under a cloak of secrecy and non-disclosure. However, information is coming out about previously hidden reports from the CDC concerning adverse effects from the shot that were known prior to or shortly after the rollout. In spite of this, the shots continue to be pushed and even mandated in some instances.--This program began with discussion concerni

J.R. Harrison is the director of the National Family Foundation while Rob Pue is the founder - publisher of Wisconsin Christian News.--The natural family is under attack and targeted for destruction. Just look at how America has redefined terms such as -marriage-, -family-, -male- and -female-. When changed, what's to stop them from expanding to unknown levels-- --Consider the hijacking of our calendar. Gay pride day has turned into gay pride month. Now the GLAAD LGBTQ calendar has the following- February 7th--National Black HIV-AIDS Awareness Day. The week after Valentine's Day--Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week. February 28--HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day. March--Bisexual Health Awareness Month. Also in March--National LGBT Health Awareness Week. There's many more that could be listed from throughout the year but you get the point.--Instead of reacting by cursing the darkness, Rob Pue and J.R. Harrison is instead lighting a candle in celebration of what's being called, -Natural Family Month-, which extend

Usama Dakdok is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English.--Pro-Islamic uprisings are taking place on university campuses across the nation. These universities have been called incubators of terrorism. Columbia University has been -ground zero- for these uprisings. It's spreading like wildfire with people like Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a strong supporter of Hamas, fanning the flames. Usama calls these university protests, -...the early fruits of the tree of Islam which has been growing in our land...---Usama described how Muslims want the name of Israel changed to Palestine and the last Jew killed along with all those who stand against Islam. By doing that, they believe we'll have world peace. However, he also noted that if this were to ever happen, it would be the fast -falling down- of Islam around the world. Why-- It's because of something the wor

Andy Ferrier is a Representative of the Midwest Messianic Center. Andy is burdened with reaching Jewish people with the good news that Jesus -Yeshua- is the Jewish Messiah.--An anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment is exploding on university campuses across the country especially in the bluest of cities. There are those calling for another -October 7th- on every day of the year. There are those calling for the Intifada, which is wiping Israel off the face of the earth. University campuses have been the breeding grounds for anti-Jewish hatred.--Just earlier today, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement condemning the anti-Semitic protests saying it was reminiscent of 1930's Germany.--This hatred of Jewish people is growing during this week of Passover. Not only is there trouble at home, but Hezbollah attacked Israel during the Passover holiday. This program discusses the antisemitism taking place, and gives information and understanding about Passover itself.

Robert J. Morgan is the Leader of Robert J. Morgan Ministries, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to energize God's people with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Bible and Christian heritage. He served in pastoral ministry for over 40 years.--Do you struggle in your faith as you observe a world that is falling apart-- Each day do you wake up wondering what is going to happen next and will you be able to survive-- We observe a political system that has run amok with more of our freedoms being taken while -the system- gains control. There is unrest in the world and we wonder when or where the next military action will take place. We see problems in our healthcare system with escalating rates, longer wait times and denial of care. Our education system is doing more brainwashing than educating. Uprisings are taking place on university campuses. Inflation is off the charts and we wonder what the next grocery item will be that we can no longer afford. There is a growing animosity toward Christiani

In Genesis 5-4 we read that Adam and Eve beg

Once again there was no shortage of news stories to review as Jim provided the following for listeners along the network-----Israel's IDF carried out an aerial attack within Iran in response to the barrage of missiles and UAV's launched toward Israel by Iran last Saturday evening.----Senator Ted Cruz slammed President Joe Biden this week for Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel saying the Biden administration paid for the missiles and drones that Iran used.----President Biden's administration announced a new round of sanctions intended to punish key figures in Iran's drone program after those system were used to strike Israel on April 13th.----A band of more than a dozen House lawmakers voted against a resolution condemning Iran for its drone and missile attack against Israel over the weekend. ----The U.S. blocked Palestine's latest effort to become a full member of the U.N. on Thursday, using its veto power during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. ----Days after the Biden administration gave

David Rubin is former mayor of Shiloh Israel as well as the author of seven books including, Confronting Radicals- What America Can Learn from Israel. He's the founder and president of Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, established after he and his then three-year-old son were wounded in a terror attack. His websites are DavidRubinIsrael.com and IsraelChildren.org. He is in the region of Judea and Samaria.--David began by describing how he reacted upon hearing that Iran had sent missiles toward Israel. Fortunately, 99- of the missiles were picked off by air defenses. One child was wounded badly and there was some property damage.--He commented on President Biden who has warned Israel not to retaliate against Iran in a big way. However, David pointed out the reality that Israel is currently fighting a war on five fronts- Lebanon where the Hezbollah terrorist organization is located, Judea and Samaria -West Bank-, Gaza, and the south where Iran has been supporting the Houthis. Iran is the fifth front, a nation that
