In Jim's hands today is a Press Release from the office of Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Senator Johnson is chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Last Wednesday he held a hearing titled, "Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals." It's a hearing that drew little media attention. Along with this hearing, Senator Johnson released a report of approximately 600 pages of records that detailed how beginning in early 2021, FDA officials became aware of a new "state of the art" data mining method that could better detect statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 shots. Rather than adopt this method, Biden health officials continued to employ their older data mining method with known limitations that prevented the FDA from detecting adverse events. Senator Johnson indicates that Peter Marks, head of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was treating vaccine injuries t

Islam is proliferating across the United States. This is due in part to immigration from other nations. According to ChatGPT, it's believed that between 55-60% of Muslims in the United States are immigrants. Around 1970, the number of mosques in the U.S. was estimated to be around 100. By the year 2000 that jumped to around 1200 mosques and by 2020 that jumped to around 2,800 mosques, a 25-fold increase since 1970. A broader inclusive estimate for 2026 put that number between 3,700 and 4,000 mosques and Islamic centers and growing. Could this be a sign of the Islamizing of America? To answer that question, Crosstalk welcomed back Usama Dakdok. Usama is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on Revealing the Truth About Islam and founder of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. Usama speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an, Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and T

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is a severe youth mental health crisis unfolding in the United States. Youth increasingly have persistent sadness, depression, hopelessness and even increasing thoughts of ending their life by means of suicide. What is driving this? Why do these numbers continue to grow especially since academia has been promoting for years Social Emotional Learning or SEL? Could social media be playing into this? Or w

Mat Staver is the Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is 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 and the TV broadcast Freedom Alive. The information is shocking: for years, the Southern Poverty Law Center raised tons of money claiming they were exposing organizations with ties to hate groups and with ties to white supremacy including the Ku Klux Klan. Last Tuesday a federal indictment was handed down by the acting Attorney General Todd Blanche who said, "The SPLC was not dismantling these groups; it was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose." FBI Director Kash Patel said, "The SPLC used the money they raised from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of these very groups." With us today is one of the organizations that the SPLC listed as a so-called "hate group."

She is a Science Advisor and Consultant who earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Medical College of Wisconsin. She has over 30 years' experience in public policy, academic research and clinical medicine with an emphasis on the cause of pediatric disease There are numerous debates as to how far we can delve into scientific research and still hold to a system of ethics. Some say it really doesn't matter as long as it's for the common good. Take, for instance, embryonic stem cell research. Some will claim that since aborted baby tissue would otherwise go in the trash, it's fine to use it for experimentation. Others contend the use of fetal body parts from aborted babies in vaccines and treatment are also okay if others are being helped by it. Did you know there are labs that create human embryos solely for experiments? These embryos are usually destroyed once research is complete. Also, did you know aborted fet

On Monday, Ken Cuccinelli, the national chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative, was the guest on Crosstalk. He warned about the Virginia vote that was to take place on Tuesday pertaining to a mass gerrymandering of the state. He noted that the state is near a 50-50 split with 6 blue (Democrat) congressional districts and 5 red (Republican) districts. He also communicated that there's a push from the left to make it ten blue districts and one red district. Less than 48 hours ago, votes were tallied, with unofficial results indicating that the gerrymandered maps narrowly won. Since then a judge has halted the results from being certified. According to Robert, more than 80 million dollars was spent on this campaign, with most of it coming from Democrats. They raised virtually all of it from out-of-state so

Without question there is much turmoil across our nation and around the world. The continued conflict in the Middle East shows no sign of relenting. War with Iran and its surrogates continues. Russia's invasion into Ukraine and the continued war has been going on more than 4 years. China has just sent warships to the Western Pacific for war drills as tensions with Japan are rising. Political division is as intense as ever. Political offices are filled with those who are more concerned by the next election than doing what is in the best interest of the nation. Offensive language has been on the increase on both sides of the political aisle. Scandal has rocked both state and federal offices. New revelations of fraud are occurring all too regularly. Teen rebellion is escalating with teen takeovers of convenience stores and shopping malls. The lives of the preborn are increasingly being snuffed out by the abortion pill and those who strategically dismember their little bodies. Crime, violence, drug abuse, domest

Ken Cuccinelli is the national chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative. He previously was the acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Yesterday morning, Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, said that federal officials discovered tens of thousands of dead people and non-citizens on voter rolls. At the present time, multiple states are being sued by the Trump administration for failing to turn over voter roles to the Department of Justice which is determined to ensure compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act and other laws. Out of 60 million records, they've found at least 350,000 dead people and approximately 25,000 people with no citizenship records. Ken believes that election transparency is the foundation of voter confidence. So review this edition of Crosstalk and find out how Ken views the election landscape and what must be done to protect such transparency and confidence. For ex

Here's your opportunity to get caught up on what's happening in the news. Hear it all, including any pertinent audio clips as well, on this edition of Crosstalk. --President Trump announced today that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open although the naval blockade against Iran remains in full force. --A major diplomatic push is underway to ease tensions in the Middle East, as President Trump announced a cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon while simultaneously trying to hold a fragile truce with Iran. --Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced the suspension of Italy's defense treaty with Israel on the same day that she was harshly criticized by President Trump for not assisting the U.S. in its military campaign against Iran. --President Trump continued his criticism of NATO with a social media post late Tuesday evening simply stating, "NATO wasn't there for us and they won't be there for us in the future!" --A group of House Democrats filed articles of impeachment Wednesday against Defense Secre

Being a mom means feeling like you're on top of the world at times. At other times there are challenges, struggles and even heartaches. In the end, the responsibilities and cares of a mother never cease. The circumstances of each mom are different and unique, but God's grace is available to all. So as an encouragement to moms, Crosstalk interviewed Rhonda Stoppe. Rhonda is a speaker and author of seven books. With 40 years of experience in helping women build no regrets lives, Rhonda has become a highly sought-after voice in the Christian living community. She's a popular homeschool conference speaker and the host of the award-winning podcast, Old Ladies Know Stuff. Rhonda's been happily married to her husband Steve for 44 years. She's a pastor's wife, mother of four and grandmother of 15. She appeared to discuss her newest book: Moms of the Bible: Life-changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed and Faithful. A critical point noted by Rhonda that is easy to forget is that moms have a calling from God in that

Iran continues to hold fast to their nuclear aspirations while at the same time a U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is also in place. However, other factors play into this situation. That's why Crosstalk brought back Shahram Hadian to help listeners fully understand the dynamics surrounding events in and around Iran. Shahram is the founder of Truth in Love Ministry. He's a Christian pastor and a former Muslim. Shahram was born in Iran and came to America in 1978. Shahram began by explaining that the behavior of Iran should be of no surprise. For example, within Islam, adherents are allowed to invoke deception, especially under the concept of a cease-fire or treaty when they're at their weakest point. The Islamic term for this is "hudna" and they enter into this agreement knowing they are going to break it and are merely buying time. So Shahram believes that no one, including those in the Trump administration, should believe one word that comes out of the mouth of the leaders of Iran. That leadership is c

How and what we teach this generation will reflect what happens in the next. The communists know this. Two of their goals involve getting control of the schools and supporting any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture. These two goals were laid out in our congressional record in 1963. Unfortunately, those goals could be met someday in America because today's students are failing to learn the critical, academic principles of reading, writing, English and arithmetic. As such, they are not equipped to guard what Thomas Jefferson called, "...the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens." Joining Jim to discuss this issue was Bonnie Gasper. Bonnie is the chairman of Child Protection League. They educate the public and expose issues that harm children in our schools and our culture. Follow along and you'll hear Bonnie comment on numerous factors that are contributing to our children's learning problems such as: Digital screen reading. Is it just as e
