#699: Week in Review: Snapshots of a Cursed World

May 27, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

In Texas, the second-deadliest school shooting in American history saw 19 students and at least two teachers murdered. The Biden administration used the incident to attack the National Rifle Association, call for stricter gun laws, and enact executive orders that undercut law enforcement. Russia’s war on Ukraine has caused the largest movement of people over such a short period ever recorded in history. Violence and terrorism are increasing in Mali, and France is pulling its troops out. G...

May 25, 2022 13:00 - 52 minutes - 48 MB

With all the crises going on in the world—Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the COVID crisis, bushfires visible from space, the Australia-U.S.-UK security pact, and an increased threat from China—Australians went to the polls to choose a new prime minister. What does the man they chose tell you about Australia today? Who and what is behind the environmentalism movement in America? The facts show that it is about neither the environment nor the best interests of Americans. Then we look at someth...

#699: Week in Review: Russia Establishes Land Bridge to Crimea

May 20, 2022 17:00 - 56 minutes - 52 MB

The Russian military has apparently gained control of the city of Mariupol, which gives it an unbroken land bridge to the Crimean Peninsula and deprives Ukraine of a key port and long stretch of coast. Meanwhile, as much as the West was hoping that economic sanctions would bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to his knees, it’s not at all going that way. The sanctions could actually be inadvertently empowering the Russian economy. In Lebanon, the Jihadist terrorist group Hezbollah is lo...

#698: Aim for the Stars

May 18, 2022 13:00 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MB

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is another bleak reminder of how the ways of war, bloodshed and conquest continue to plague mankind today just as they have throughout history. Declarations that such history is a thing of the past have proved false. But biblical prophecy reveals why and when such bloody history will in fact end. The James Webb Space Telescope is functioning beautifully and primed for scientific exploration, exceeding scientists’ most optimistic expectations. We talk to an engi...

War in Ukraine has killed thousands, created millions of refugees, and destroyed cities. Prophetically, the most significant result is unfolding in Europe, where there are increasingly strident calls for European unification. Vladimir Putin is signaling he may officially declare war on Ukraine on May 9, VE Day in Europe. This would mean ramping up prolonged efforts to secure this former Soviet territory.

May 04, 2022 13:00 - 56 minutes - 51.5 MB

Thousands of illegal immigrants cross America’s southern border every day—and American leaders are encouraging it. The Biden administration is about to repeal Title 42, making it more difficult to expel migrants.
