Ep 134 | End Times

Today, we're talking to Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow with the Hoover Institution. Hanson is also an author, and his latest book, "The Dying Citizen," examines the Left's attacks on the middle class, attempts to track America's problems over the past several years, and explains how they have affected the average citizen. Within the government and other important institutions like universities and media, there are postmodern and progressive thinkers who want to fundamentally change America and the world into a more centralized globalist system. And unfortunately, the cultural divides in our country only make this easier for them. Hanson explains that as Democrats slowly whittle away at the middle class, what they're essentially doing is returning to a form of feudalism, which supports only a few extremely wealthy lords but a multitude of extremely poor peasants. --- Today's Sponsor: Good Ranchers has a variety of boxes to try yourself or gift to someone for a special occasion!

Today, we start by talking about some of the big stories that have been happening over the past few weeks and months — namely COVID and the authoritarian power that the government and corporations have seized as a result. We're not just dealing with political tyranny here in America but also moral and cultural decay. However, it always bears repeating that Christians need not fall victim to despair, because we know that everything happens exactly as God needs it to. We also discuss what the Bible actually says about Jesus and Christmas — which is so much better than whatever progressives say about it having to do with refugees or immigrants. -=- Today's Sponsor: Good Ranchers has a variety of boxes to try yourself or to gift this season.

Today we're having a theological discussion on how Christians should treat Santa Claus. While it's not a salvation issue, there are some verses in the Bible that can give us guidance on how to view the secular holiday icon. We also consider what the 19th-century theologian Charles Spurgeon had to say about the secular side of Christmas and the fact that there actually is a real, omniscient gift-giver, and His name isn't Santa Claus. --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

Today we're talking to our friend and fellow BlazeTV host Steve Deace. Steve always has an update for us on the latest news about the COVID pandemic. We start off by going over some of the numbers that illustrate the consequences of bad COVID policy, like rampant mental health issues and major cognitive problems among young children who have spent the last two years trying to attend school through a computer screen. In addition to discussing COVID, the Omicron variant, and what the future of the pandemic might look like, we also talk about Steve's new book, "Do What You Believe," which outlines the importance of living in Christ while we still can. Lastly, Steve tells us about the dirty tactics the Left is using to hinder production of "A Nefarious Plot," a film adaptation of another of Steve's books. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction + COVID numbers, new restrictions worldwide (19:18) Interview with Steve Deace (19:23) Steve has a new book!

Today we're discussing Canada's recent ban on "conversion therapy" with theologian, pastor, and Founder & President of The Ezra Institute, Dr. Joseph Boot, who lives in Canada and has been speaking out against the ban. We discuss what the law actually says and how its vague wording can be used to restrict anyone from seeking help that's based in the biblical view of sex and gender. Incredibly, not a single conservative member of the Canadian Parliament voted against this bill, showing the depths of progressive corruption in that country. We also look at a story from the U.S. in which a dedicated mother rescued her daughter from gender confusion that was spiraling out of control. Under Canada's new law, that mother would be considered a criminal. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs have a new subscription — the Genius Box!

Today we're talking about the Josh Duggar trial and how we as Christians should react when one of our own is exposed in such a way. First, we take a moment to acknowledge the disaster that occurred over the weekend in Kentucky, when tornadoes caused untold damage to people's homes. Then, we go on to discuss what happened with Josh Duggar and how his heinous behavior came to pass. We also debunk the ridiculous assertion that "purity culture" or "white evangelicalism" are to blame for Duggar's actions. Lastly, we give a reminder that reverence for children's lives is a recent development in human history and one that was only made possible through Christianity and scripture. --- Today's Sponsors: Chamonix from Genucel — from now until Christmas, Genucel's most popular package is 60% off at LoveGenucel.com/ALLIE!

Today we're talking to conservative commentator and podcast host Jack Posobiec about several stories making their way around the news today. First, we discuss the bombshell reporting by BuzzFeed, of all places, that exposed the CIA's efforts to cover up unspeakable crimes committed by its own members. Unfortunately, this story is probably only the tip of an iceberg the government really doesn't want us to see. Then we talk about Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, who is on trial right now for allegedly helping Epstein with his own unspeakable crimes. Lastly, there's the Jussie Smollett trial, which is just falling apart for the disgraced actor in the most hilarious ways. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (19:48) Interview with Jack Posobiec (19:51) CIA coverup of pedophiles in the agency (34:23) Ghislaine Maxwell trial (49:19) Will Jussie Smollett be found guilty? --- Today's Sponsors: Bambee was created specifically for small businesses — you can get a dedicated HR manager, craft HR policy, & maintain your compliance, all for just $99/month!
