A rare week where the wins line up: a culture bright spot, decisive policy shifts, and data that actually encourages. We kick things off with a family hit—Angel Studios’ David is now streaming—then follow the money and momentum behind audience-backed storytelling. When your kids are captivated and you can support creators who respect your values, it’s more than entertainment. It’s a signal that culture is shifting toward courage, character, and craft. From there, we trace a clear pro-life th...
What happens when a small circle of lawyers controls who sits on a state’s highest court? We unpack Kansas’s bar-driven judicial selection and make the case for restoring voter accountability to the bench. You’ll hear why retention elections rarely inform the public, how judicial review morphed into judicial supremacy in modern practice, and what history suggests about balancing independence with democratic oversight. We share examples from states that shifted back to elections and saw credib...
What if your social feed is the worst guide for what’s actually happening on the ground? We dive into Minneapolis as a live case study in how unrest evolves from daytime protest to nighttime agitation, how leadership signals change outcomes, and why the right kind of de-escalation can lower the temperature without abandoning the rule of law. Along the way, we unpack the media’s role in amplifying or abandoning narratives, including the swift backlash to calls for disrupting churches, and what...
A simple promise—less prosecution and more freedom—turned into a complex fight against organized crime. We walk through Oklahoma’s hard lessons from “just medical” marijuana: how cheap licenses, light regulation, and an all-cash market drew in well-funded networks using straw owners, laundering money through land purchases, and operating grows tied to trafficking, extortion, and violence. The numbers tell the story: farms ballooned from roughly 2,000 to 8,000 in under three years, then fell t...
Start with a winter snap in Texas and you’ll feel the temperature of our times: communities split on basic right and wrong, outrage trending faster than facts, and leaders struggling to hold a moral center. We lean into that tension with a clear case for shared standards—and a practical plan to put them back in view—through the Ten Commandments monument now standing at the Tarrant County courthouse. We talk frankly about the difference between lawful carry and reckless interference with law ...
A rare streak of good news can change how we see the week, and this one delivers. We open with a human story that cuts through the noise: a quarterback ranked 2,149th out of high school fights his way to Heisman glory and leads Indiana to a national title. It’s about grit, faith, and leadership under pressure—and why those habits are the building blocks of cultural renewal. From there we get clarity where it counts. Trump draws a bright line against anti‑Semitism—“not welcome or needed” in M...
Headlines move fast, and too many churches step back the moment culture slaps “political” on a topic. We lean in. From life and marriage to immigration and gender, we unpack why Scripture still speaks when the room gets loud—and how pastors can guide people through hard news without turning Sunday into a shouting match. The aim isn’t outrage; it’s discipleship that equips believers to love their neighbors with conviction and clarity. We share data on pastors who believe the Bible addresses m...
Hidden networks. Secret signals on a clothesline. A general who didn’t even know every name that kept him alive. We sit down with composer Christy Stutzman to unveil Ring of Spies, a new musical that brings George Washington’s Culper Ring out of the shadows and onto the stage with period-rich music, meticulous research, and a story that stirs the heart. We trace the British occupation of New York and Long Island, follow Haim Solomon’s bold blend of languages, finance, and espionage, and meet...
What if the most important map of power right now runs from Tehran’s streets to Greenland’s ice? We sit down with Rudy Atallah to connect the dots between a weakening Iranian regime, a surprising surge of underground Christianity, and the hard math of deterrence in a hypersonic age. We start with Iran, where protests have flared across dozens of cities and casualty estimates run high. Rudy unpacks credible signals beneath the noise of social media—cyber operations targeting IRGC systems, Sta...
Start with a simple question: should medals, scholarships, and roster spots meant for girls be decided by biology or identity? We dive straight into a Supreme Court showdown that could reset Title IX and define fairness in women’s sports for more than half the country. With Senator Mayes Middleton at the table, we unpack how states like Idaho and West Virginia crafted sex-based competition laws, why Texas took similar steps, and what the Justices’ questions reveal about where this ruling migh...
A cascade of good news stretches from Caracas to Tehran, and the common thread is clarity backed by action. We break down how the fall of Maduro exposed the depth of Cuban involvement, cut a vital oil lifeline to Havana, and sent shockwaves through China’s energy and gold ambitions. When a regime relies on foreign soldiers for personal security, the problem isn’t just optics—it’s a sign of collapsing legitimacy, and the aftershocks can reorder a hemisphere. We also zoom in on what smart pres...
Credit card APR creeping into the high 20s can feel like quicksand, and that’s exactly where we start—by asking whether a president can, or should, cap rates at 10 percent for a year. We sort the legal from the rhetorical, exploring the constitutional limits on executive power, the real-world ripple effects of price controls, and how a bully pulpit can move industries without writing a single rule. Through a biblical lens, we talk about profit versus exploitation, why Scripture warns against ...
What if the fastest way to shrink the foster care system is to prevent entries in the first place? We unpack Florida’s results-driven approach that invited churches and nonprofits into a formal partnership with state agencies—without crossing constitutional lines—and turned compassion into measurable change. By treating faith communities as essential partners in prevention, crisis care, and reunification, Florida built real-time bridges between caseworkers and congregations and saw foster car...
What if the surest way to protect every right you love is to start with the front door on its hinges and the deed in your drawer? We dig into the founders’ most overlooked insight: secure property is the spine of liberty. Tim Barton walks through original sources—Adams, Madison, Dickinson, Lee—and shows how they linked private ownership to freedom, moral order, and social trust. Then we test those principles against today’s realities: swelling assessments, layered taxes, and seniors losing fu...
Start with a simple question: what happens to freedom when property fades? We dive into that pressure point with a story that runs from Genesis to Philadelphia, tracing how stewardship, ownership, and consent form the backbone of a free society. Tim Barton walks through the biblical roots of private property—creation, cultivation, and commands that forbid stealing and coveting—then highlights the stark warning of 1 Samuel 8, where centralized power “takes” until liberty shrivels. That ancient...
The headlines move fast, but America’s core ideas move the needle. We open with a surprising deep dive into the Monroe Doctrine—penned by John Quincy Adams and issued by President James Monroe—and connect it to modern policy choices around Venezuela and hemispheric security. When you judge action by founding-era principles instead of social media noise, foreign policy looks less like a personality contest and more like constitutional muscle memory at work. From there, we head west to a major...
What if the most powerful myths about America’s origins collapse under the weight of the Founders’ own words? We open the door to a wider, evidence-rich view of faith, freedom, and law—starting with God-given rights in the Declaration and Franklin’s call to prayer when the Constitutional Convention hit a wall. Instead of arguing about what professors or pundits say, we walk through primary sources and show how to challenge bad history—and even your favorite AI—by requiring original documents....
Headlines moved fast this week, but the through-line is simple: when truth meets sunlight, systems change. We open with the Minnesota scandal where a young investigator’s iPhone clips sparked serious questions about charity and daycare programs funded with federal dollars. As audits spread to other states, we dig into what real accountability looks like, why some outlets fixate on edge cases, and how a love of truth—not team loyalty—should guide the conversation. From there, we step into vote...
What if the entire arc of American freedom hinges on where we say rights come from? We take you inside a spirited, timely conversation that ties together the founders’ reliance on prayer, the moral sequence of life before liberty, and the hard economics of why voluntary exchange creates wealth while coercion destroys it. This isn’t a history lecture; it’s a practical roadmap for evaluating candidates, policies, and institutions by a clear standard of truth. We unpack the core fork in the roa...
If you care about why some nations flourish while others stall, this conversation puts real substance behind the answer. We dig into the ideas that anchor a free people—rights that don’t come from a vote, limits that bind power, and a moral center that turns law into trust. With former Congressman Bob McEwen, we connect those foundations to the everyday things we take for granted: GPS in your pocket, safe sea lanes for global trade, contracts that hold, and an innovation engine that keeps pro...




The right to bare arms IS NOT a GOD given right. GOD never gave anybody the right to own a gun. The sooner we abolish the 2nd amendment the sooner we can put an end to gun crime and make this country a safer place to live.
GOD NEVER gave anyone the right to own a gun. The 2nd amendment needs to be abolished. The sooner this is done the sooner guns can be made illegal. This is the only way to put an end to gun crime.
Seeking the death penalty is absolutely the right thing to do.

Of course Mike Pence got a standing ovation at the university in Charlottesville. He's a traitor. Usually enjoy listening to the show except when you act so dumb.
Our pastor has said the same thing.

Might want to rethink the nuclear weapon next door.
A good resource as well is Matt Trewhella's book " Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates "
When you turn your countrymen and allies over to your enemies, you're a traitor. When you aid the enemy and provide them with weapons and ammo, you commit treason. The President of the United States is a treasonous traitor. That is a high crime worthy of Impeachment. #BidenisaTreasonousTraitor
The 1619 project 3 episode cast needs to be on video.
Been listening to David for years now. Good information and perspective.
Just began listening in the fall of 2020 but really appreciate this team's efforts. Purchased Constitution Alive for myself at Christmas. Looking forward to getting into it soon!
totally stoked that I found this program on a podcast. I was bummed when AFR took them off their program schedule.
Love WallBuilders!!!
This where Wallbuilders loses me... You folks deliberately, it seems: ignored the T-Rex in the room...... Sharia. Why did you do this?

Be careful about surrendering the authority to appeal to those who recognize no authority.
