Headlines have trained us to expect the worst. Today we chase what’s actually moving the needle: international pressure for religious freedom, a youth movement catching fire on campuses, a surprising recalibration in the climate debate, and a clear turn in border enforcement that’s reshaping incentives on the ground. We start with Nigeria’s designation as a Country of Particular Concern by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, led by former Congresswoman Vicki Hartzler. Tha...
When should America step in abroad—and when should we hold the line? We open with Nigeria and the persecution of Christians, unpacking the hard tradeoffs between humanitarian outrage and constitutional guardrails. We weigh the tools that can move regimes without war—credible threats, sanctions, aid leverage, quiet diplomacy—and the times when defending American lives, ships, and commerce must take priority. Using the Barbary pirates and the French Quasi-War as guides, we lay out a practical t...
A world war ended with silence at the eleventh hour. From that moment, the United States began a long journey from Armistice Day to Veterans Day—a shift from marking a ceasefire to honoring every American who wore the uniform. We explore how that change happened, why it matters, and what it asks of us today as citizens navigating policy, budgets, and public life. We open with the history: proclamations from Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge, Congress formalizing Armistice Day, and Dwight Ei...
Headlines say the shutdown is over; the real story is where the fight moves next. We open with how the Senate finally broke the stalemate—motion to proceed, cloture math, and why debate time became a bargaining chip—and then trace the ripple effects into your wallet, your health care, and the federal workforce. Eight Democrats crossed the aisle to end the longest funding lapse on record, and that crossover set up a December carveout to debate the Affordable Care Act on its own. We walk throu...
A generation raised on shifting standards is reaching for something solid. We sit down with Father Frank Pavone to explore why younger Catholic priests are embracing clear, biblical convictions on life and identity—and how that clarity is drawing Gen Z, especially young men, back into the Church. This isn’t a political pivot; it’s a move toward coherence in a time of confusion, where objective moral truth replaces the fog of moral relativism. We trace the cultural and spiritual forces shapin...
Headlines hint at chaos, but the signals underneath tell a different story. We connect three surprising trends that point to a quiet realignment: a 6-3 Supreme Court decision that reaffirms biological sex on passports as a verifiable, security-critical fact; polling that shows a growing share of Americans view Democrats as too liberal while Republicans are seen as slightly less conservative; and new Barna research revealing men—especially Gen Z—are returning to church in significant numbers. ...
Ever wonder how 60 votes can stop 51 from passing a bill? We pull back the curtain on the modern filibuster to show how Senate procedure—not the Constitution—decides whether a majority can actually govern. We trace the shift from the old, talk‑until‑you‑drop tactic to today’s cloture threshold and explain when a simple majority can change the rules, when it can’t, and how the nuclear option carved out exceptions for nominations and budget matters. It’s a candid look at principle versus pruden...
The headlines from Virginia and New Jersey aren’t the whole story. What’s happening inside America’s churches is shaping the way people think, vote, and live far more than a single election night. We sit down with David Closson of Family Research Council to unpack new nationwide research on regular churchgoers—folks in the pews weekly—and the picture is both sobering and hopeful. On the hopeful side, the data show an unmistakable hunger for worldview training. Large majorities want clear, Bi...
A simple promise—“digital makes life easier”—can mask a complicated reality. We dive into the fast-unfolding world of digital ID and how it’s being stitched together with payments, health credentials, and online access under the banner of “digital public infrastructure.” With Alex Newman, we examine concrete examples from Canada’s account freezes to China’s social credit system and Europe’s emerging digital wallet to understand what happens when identity, money, and movement live behind the s...
A lot of voices are loud right now. Few are clear. We invited Frank Turek to help us cut through the noise with a steady, evidence-based approach to faith that can stand up in a college auditorium or a family living room. Frank shares how mentoring sharpened Charlie’s gospel focus, why campus conversations are shifting from gotcha questions to genuine interest, and how a tragic moment sparked a surprising surge in Bible reading and church attendance. We unpack the backbone of Frank’s method:...
Headlines can make it feel like everything’s slipping, but look closer and you’ll spot the quiet course corrections reshaping daily life. We walk through a set of concrete wins—each from a different corner of culture—that point to a broader turn toward sanity, safety, and conscience. In Texas, a unanimous ruling clarifies that judges are not forced to violate religious convictions, a small-town question that now sets a statewide standard. In Silicon Valley, smart shareholder engagement nudges...
A tough listener question pushed us to the heart of a growing divide: should Christians support Israel when many Jews don’t confess Christ and when Israel’s government, like any government, can act wrongly? We roll up our sleeves and trace the argument from bedrock Scripture to real-world policy, aiming for clarity without clichés. We start where the Bible starts: God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12 and the striking moment in Numbers 22–23 when Balaam cannot curse what God has blessed....
Want a front-row seat to how states can shape the future of freedom? We bring lawmakers and policy pros together for a candid, strategy-rich look at AI guardrails, parental rights, energy security, civics reform, and the life debate—then pair it with spiritual renewal that keeps leaders grounded and brave. This is where model bills, clear frameworks, and practical tactics are forged, tested, and shared across red and blue states alike. We dig into the AI choices before us: wait for distant b...
A shutdown that no one seems to feel is a political story begging for a plot twist. We sit down with Congressman Barry Loudermilk to unpack why this standoff looks different, how a “clean” continuing resolution became a flashpoint, and what happens when SNAP deadlines collide with Senate filibuster math. The headline isn’t just funding—it’s leverage. When policy riders hitch a ride on short-term spending, the real fight shifts to who controls the agenda months from now and who gets blamed whe...
A privately funded White House expansion shouldn’t be a five-alarm fire, yet the headlines say otherwise. We dig into the facts behind a proposed East Wing ballroom, why capacity and ceremony matter for diplomacy, and how the people’s house has changed many times before. From Monroe’s portico and Taft’s Oval Office to Truman’s steel-reinforced rebuild, the White House has always evolved to meet new demands. That history matters when judging what’s preservation, what’s progress, and what’s pol...
What if our culture’s hottest causes are colliding with the Bible’s clearest assignments? We dive into the contested space where faith meets public life and ask a sharper question: who did God actually task with justice, mercy, and protection—and what happens when we hand those duties to the wrong institution? We start by mapping jurisdiction. Romans 13 gives government the sword to punish evil and defend the innocent; Scripture gives charity to individuals, families, and the church. That si...
Pray, act, endure—three simple words that upend almost everything we’re told about cultural change. We take a hard look at what revival really means in American history and Scripture, and it’s not a weekend tent meeting or an emotional spike. It’s decades of work, sacrifice that leaves a mark, and a public impact you can measure in families, cities, and laws. We trace the long arc of the Great Awakenings and spotlight George Whitefield’s relentless schedule—thousands of sermons across coloni...
What if the textbook your child reads in fifth grade quietly rewires how they’ll vote at forty-five? We pull back the curtain on who actually shapes classroom content, why two states can steer a national market, and how a long game—not a last-minute lobby—decides what millions of students learn about America, free enterprise, and the Constitution. We walk you through the real mechanics of education: state boards setting standards, publishers investing millions, and the ripple effects that fo...
British generals feared their sermons, and John Adams credited them by name. We open the door to a forgotten story: how American pastors shaped the ideas that fueled independence, guided legislators, and ultimately informed the First Amendment’s protections—then connect that legacy to the questions pastors and voters face today. We walk through the tangible links from pulpit to policy: reprinted sermons that taught equality under God, consent of the governed, and taxation limits long before ...
Seven million in the streets—or a narrative that outran the facts? We unpack the “No Kings” rallies with a clear-eyed look at turnout claims, media framing, and the surprising historical flubs that turned Boston Tea Party lore into prop work. From there, we trace a bigger thread: how redefining loaded words like fascism isn’t just sloppy, it’s strategic. When a term once reserved for Mussolini and Hitler gets reduced to shorthand for “policies I dislike,” the debate tilts from evidence to emo...

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.
