Crosstalk America Jim Schneider

There are significant warnings being expressed by some individuals concerning the internal safety and security of the United States. These warnings are coming from the highest levels of government all the way down to the level of our county sheriffs.The importance of this matter cannot be overstated. Jim proved the point as he aired 3 audio clips. The first was from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson as he questioned Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas concerning what's been taking place at the southern border. The second audio clip featured Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, who noted how multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for direct attacks on the U.S. or its assets and the threat from domestic extremist groups. In the third clip, FBI Director Wray discussed the ongoing, multi-pronged threat of China. These audio clips set the stage for comments that came from Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones. At a press conference conducted last week, he shared information obtained while attending the National Sheriffs Association Winter Conference that was held in Washington, D.C., on February 3-6. The sheriffs were briefed at the conference by numerous high level government officials and heard the latest regarding crime and national security, border crime, gangs, drugs, terrorism and violent extremism.You'll want to share this information with others as you'll hear Sheriff Jones discuss the warning as well as the actions he's taking in his county.

Dr. Andy Woods is the president of Chafer Theological Seminary and senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church. He's contributed to numerous theological journals and Christian books and has spoken on a variety of topics at Christian conferences. He's the author of The Middle East Meltdown, The Falling Away, as well as other books. Dr. Woods spoke at a VCY America spring rally in Southeast Wisconsin in April of this year. Dr. Woods began by describing how Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of his day because they should have been able to recognize who he was based on the signs of the times. In spite of this, they refused to pay attention. They completely failed to recognize the messianic time period they were living in.Dr. Woods reminded listeners that throughout history we see that when God sets something up, there are signs of the times that people are to be aware of and to pay close attention to them. This is especially important in our day because there are more signs pointing to Christ's second coming than his first. In this broadcast, Dr. Woods analyzes numerous signs that point to this return, beginning with the regathering of the Jews to Israel, the nation that's the modern miracle and focal point of biblical prophecy. He also looks at the third Temple, the red heifers, an invasion by Turkey/Russia/Iran and much more.

With each passing year, advocates of the LGBTQ+ agenda are more vocal and more aggressive in advancing their cause while denouncing those who object. As has been his custom, President Biden issued a proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month. His proclamation stated, "Advancing equality for the LGBTQI+ community is a top priority."Is this the last word because churches are becoming more accepting, because "drag queens" are allowed to read stories to children, because world governments, or specifically, a U.S. administration, makes it a "top priority"? Instead, what we should be asking is: What does the Bible say?Joining Crosstalk to answer that question was Pastor Rick Rogers of Calvary Baptist Church in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. He's a chaplain for law enforcement, is a former director of the Alpha Women's Center and also previously served on the Board of Baptists for Life of Wisconsin.Pastor Rogers began by noting how God has ordained 3 institutions: The family (Genesis 1), human governments (Genesis 9) and the Church of Jesus Christ. These were ordained for godliness, law and order. This is where Satan has been attacking the hardest. Pastor Rogers noted that if you dismantle those three, you've dismantled the foundation of the calling we have from the Lord. In other words, it's a war against the natural order.What about those who believe this is a genetic issue? If that's the case, how can God condemn it? Pastor Rogers communicated that there are some things in genetics you just can't prove and this is one of them. We see this by the fact that no "gay gene" has been found.

From former President Trump to the Middle East and more, Jim had much to present to listeners from the news desk. Here's a sample from the broadcast:--A jury found former President Trump guilty of 34 counts of business reporting violations claimed by Alvin Bragg, the District Attorney. Jim provided audio from Mr. Trump who is due in Manhattan court for sentencing on July 11th.--Trump's campaign raised 34.8 million dollars after the verdict.--The Biden/Harris campaign released a statement yesterday celebrating the verdict of the jury.--Robert F. Kennedy expects that Trump will be helped by the guilty verdict.--Jim provided audio from Jill Biden on "The View" claiming that it's actually Trump that can't put a sentence together.--Democrats will virtually choose President Joe Biden as their nominee after Ohio lawmakers dragged their feet in changing a state deadline that clashed with the party's convention.--The Israeli Defense Forces reported that a deadly blaze in Rafah, Gaza, may have been caused by a hidden store of Hamas weapons rather than the airstrike itself.--In a major breakthrough, Israel announced that it had regained control over the strategic Philadelphi Corridor cutting off the Gaza-to-Egypt terror tunnels. --Several "Students for Justice in Palestine" set to travel to Washington, DC, to surround the White House on June 8th.Jim provided audio of Osama Abuirshaid, the executive director for the American Muslims for Palestine. He spoke at George Washington University where he told listeners that they would take back America just like they'll take back Palestine.--Pro-Hamas rioters set fire on Tuesday to the Israeli embassy.

According to the World Population Review, there are approximately 2 billion children in the world ranging in age from 0-14. That's one-quarter of the world's population. Sadly, children today are in the cross-hairs of efforts like the trans agenda and their admitted grooming and indoctrination. They're also being affected by broadcast and streaming TV, corporate America, social media, the educational system and other efforts.All of these things magnify the need to reach children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Joining Crosstalk to discuss one such effort was Fred Pry, Vice President of Administration for Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF).After sharing some background on CEF, Fred described how a Supreme Court ruling now allows for CEF Good News Clubs to have equal access/equal treatment and take these clubs into the public schools. The result is that this past school year there have been over 3,000 Good News clubs that have operated with over half a million children involved. This is important because many of these children don't attend church anywhere. Fred discussed the impact of Satan clubs, CEF summer ministry camps/clubs, how the five-day clubs operate, how you can host a five-day club in your garage or backyard, the incredible worldwide emphasis of CEF and much more.

Children today are being bombarded by the trans agenda. Some may use terms such as "indoctrination" or "grooming" to describe it and that's exactly what's taking place as an audio clip played by Jim proves. This grooming/indoctrination is happening in multiple ways and the guest on this broadcast describes these influences.For this subject Crosstalk welcomed Rebecca Terrell. Rebecca is senior editor and regular contributor to the New American. In the current issue of The New American Rebecca is author of the cover story, "Defending Children Against the Trans Agenda."Rebecca believes that our entire culture and nation is at stake. The upcoming generation of children and teens is being brainwashed and it's not only affecting us morally, it's also affecting the U.S. birth rate which has been in steep decline for many years. This brainwashing is happening to young people through school curriculum, media/entertainment, technology, corporate America, bans on conversion therapy and more.Get the latest information on this topic, and hear what listeners had to say, when you review this edition of Crosstalk.
