  • Bold and Blunt America's communist problem Play in Edifi Player

    America's communist problem

    America has moved rapidly from middle-of-the-road politics to a place of far- leftist infiltration, where the Democrats have let progressives, socialists and even communists take root in their party and spread their rot through government. And it's at the point where culture, education and the economy are all facing the same communist jolt. As the U.S. State Department releases its report on Cuba's infiltration of America, Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor, has new information on how China's …

    The Judeo-Christian worldview is what matters most

    When it comes to protecting the future of American Exceptionalism, it's the Judeo-Christian worldview that matters most. That's because without God, there can be no God-given rights and liberties. Remove God, and all that's left is government-granted — and remember, what government grants it can also take away. Troy Miller, CEO of NRB, talks about the importance of the Judeo- Christian worldview and the battle that's confronting America right now.

    Saving SAVE, saving America from socialism

    Sen. Lindsey Graham was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump's SAVE Act, and the fate of the election integrity bill, since his untimely death, hangs in the balance — or does it? As Martha Jenkins, president of the National Federation of Republican Women, points out, the late senator's South Carolina seat isn't likely to change political parties. Jenkins discusses SAVE, Graham and other political news of the day.

    Bible morals being taught in public schools

    A new survey shows the vast majority of parents want Bible-based instruction on good morals and solid values taught to their children in public schools — and the schools are listening. LifeWise Academy's CEO Joel Penton says his organization has established in-school Bible courses on instructing children in the moral way to go, and that the demand is only growing.

    Trump's foreign policy successes

    When it comes to President Donald Trump's foreign policy, Democrats largely disagree with anything and everything he does, while Republicans generally stand in solidarity with him. But that's because Democrats for the most part detest America. For more on Trump's foreign policy and energy plans to return America to a state of independence and greatness, tune in to guest Rear Adm. Mike Hewitt, retired U.S. Navy.

    J.K. Rowling's inspiring story

    J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has led a life of ups and downs and on way to becoming one of the world's best-selling authors, has overcome much adversity. She's also a complex woman — as complex as the characters she's developed in her much-beloved books. Even her faith and love for Jesus has not come without controversy. Solomon Schmidt, author of "A Pen to Change the World," dove deep into her background.

  • Bold and Blunt Wealth-building with God Play in Edifi Player

    Wealth-building with God

    Too many Christians have the wrong idea about money, and see the concept of wealth-building as automatically evil. But pursuing financial stability and prosperity isn't in itself an evil. Money only becomes problematic when its pursuit gets in the way of worship of God. John Coleman, author of "Good Money," tells how to build a life of financial purpose.

    Tax cuts are great, but debt reduction's better

    This White House has shown itself to be a champion of tax cuts, with estimates showing Americans are receiving refunds on several thousand dollars, on average. But as fiscal expert Dr. Anne Bradley warns, tax cuts without longer term reductions in government spending in essence stagnate growth and erase the returns to citizens. Tax cuts alone can't solve the national debt crisis.

    China's shop of influence and horror

    The Chinese communist influence in America has taken an even deeper turn, and now the CCP is using the IRS to spread its rot. Nonprofits have become a go-to for the CCP, and it's become so problematic, even Congress is holding hearings. But that's nothing compared to the evil Jan Jekielek has uncovered about the CCP in his new book,"Killed to Order," about organ harvesting.

  • Bold and Blunt The power of today's media Play in Edifi Player

    The power of today's media

    Today's media in all its many forms is probably the most powerful and influential it has ever been. But with great power comes great responsibility — and it's questionable whether today's media members recognize that there's a moral imperative for them to report the truth, and in instances where errors are made, to correct those mistakes. More than that, too many in today's news outlets are in it for the wrong reasons. Newsmax host Marc Lotter weighs in on the state of today's media.

  • Bold and Blunt Remembering Antonin Scalia Play in Edifi Player

    Remembering Antonin Scalia

    Americans' views of the U.S. Supreme Court may be divisive, with Democrats seeing the justices as too conservative and Republicans seeing the court as too unpredictable. But consensus is that the now-deceased Justice Antonin Scalia is one of the most influential figures to have served on the court in years — in decades. Chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax, James Rosen, has a new book, "Scalia: Supreme Court Years," that tells us why.

  • Bold and Blunt Angels and demons and aliens, oh my Play in Edifi Player

    Angels and demons and aliens, oh my

    Look around and see: the world is filled with mystery — and that includes the invisible world. The Bible speaks clearly of the existence of angels and demons. But what about aliens and UFOs? Where do those fit in the biblical picture? Author, media figure, writer and documentary maker Billy Hallowell discusses his new "Investigating the Supernatural: Angels & Demons" film — and it's filled with questions and answers and more mysteries.

  • Bold and Blunt Dangers to our republic abound Play in Edifi Player

    Dangers to our republic abound

    Look around and see — today's government is a far cry from what Founding Fathers envisioned when they forged this great nation. Mike Bedenbaugh, Navy veteran and author, looked at George Washington's Farewell Address and found 40 points of wisdom America's first president offered on how to keep this republic intact — and then Bedenbaugh put the points together in a book entitled, "Reviving Our Republic."

  • Bold and Blunt A new conservative day dawns in American media Play in Edifi Player

    A new conservative day dawns in American media

    Everybody knows the media leans mostly left, and that when there's a conservative or Republican in political office, the news outlet assumes attack dog mode — but when there's a Democrat or liberal in political office, the journalists basically adopt the party's talking points as their coverage. But trust in media has fallen to such lows, media outlets are nervous. They're starting to hire more conservatives. As Ryan Wolfe, with The Fund for American Studies, said: Even The Washington Post and …
