Bold and Blunt

President Donald Trump's first few days in office have been filled with speedy, decisive actions and thankfully, giving the boot to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies has been a top priority. No more DEI in the federal government. No more DEI in the military. And the trickle-down effect is impacting businesses and schools and soon enough, there will be no more DEI in corporations and the education system. Marxists are crying. Americans are applauding. And people like Ryan Walters, superintendent of Oklahoma schools, who has been fighting DEI against Democrats for years -- can finally rest a bit easier. America is certainly entering a golden age.

It's the dawning of truth again in America, as President Donald Trump issued an executive order making clear there are only two sexes, male and female. And all the leftists go: No! The LGBTQ community that has so long, under Democrat coddling, pushed its extreme and radical and deceptive agenda into the public square is up in arms about this executive order. They know it's more than just a message. It's a complete policy reversal that's going to have a ripple effect into the states, into the school systems, and having an effect on everything from jail placements to passports. The chaos that's coming for the long-time liars who've insisted boys can be girls whenever they want is actually quite humorous. It's a confusion that's of their own making. But for the rest of us, common sense is making a comeback. Parent Cheryl Saltzman, a whistleblower for Campus Reform, talks about how her daughter's college Resident Assistant was a male who purposely pretended to be a girl just so he could room right alongside the real girls.

In barely a blink of an eye after the inauguration, President Donald Trump was already moving to undo many of the damaging agendas brought forth by the previous Joe Biden team. MAGA is on the march. And for the next four years, expect more of the same. Jenna Ellis, who served as Trump's legal adviser during his first presidency, speaks to the next four years and what Americans can expect. And guess what? It's pretty much positive for the patriots of the nation. The media? The media may sell a different narrative, though. Be on guard for spin.

There's a boom in the number of Muslims who are turning to Christ, and the reasons are varied but it all basically comes down to this: the truths of the Bible cannot be ignored. The spirit is on the move. And if Christians want to learn how best to engage with those of different faiths, particularly of Islam faith, then this is the show that teaches. Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco is a real warrior for Christ. But she wasn't always this way. She followed the Muslim faith for years and years until one day, she heard the voice of Christ and knew: she could not deny the promises of Christianity were true.

The new year in America sadly kicked off with terrorist attacks that left scores dead and injured. But more may be on the way. The warnings to America about the threats of radical Islamist terror have been on the walls for years now. It's just that too many political leaders, particularly in the Democratic Party, have failed to acknowledge them and act accordingly. Thankfully, Donald Trump is taking over the White House and bringing with him a team of officials who fully understand you can't fight terror with fancy talk and diplomacy and concessions. But that doesn't automatically erase the risk. As Israel Ellis, author of a book about the warning signs of terror, says: America must wake up and smell the terrorism. Our nation has been ignoring the signs of looming attacks for far too long, he says.

The federal government, back in campaign season, put out word that violent crime in America was down -- and not just by a little, but by quite a bit. The government put out this word because that's what the FBI said to be true. So Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and all the Democrats and the leftist boot-lickers in the media went on a concerted journey to tell how Donald Trump was lying when he said crime in America was up, up, up, and also how lucky Americans were to have a president like Biden who actually lowered crime around the nation. Then the FBI's revised statistics came out and voila, suddenly it was seen: Trump was right. Crime was up, up, up. Violent crime had risen under Biden. And all the deep staters went, whoops! Democrats and deep state players will always pretend like crime falls under their watch, even when it's oh-so-untrue. But states don't have to rely on the feds to provide border security and crime-fighting tools to ensure their communities are safe from criminals. As Christopher Holton, a senior analyst with Center for Security Policy says, states can do a lot right now to make sure criminals aren't committing crimes in their local communities. Tune in for the recommendations.

For far too long, America has tried to work with China, instead of fight against China, all due to the misguided hope that if the communists were only given enough economic opportunity and treated to the same sort of U.S. foreign policy favoritism as other nations, then the CCP would shed its commie ways and walk a more Western government path. Now the cows have come home. Now it's time to pay the piper. Now the facts are showing that China has simply pretended to work with the West all the while building up its military, its economic influence, its communist propaganda plans, its psychological warfare. China expert and author Bill Gertz says America's missteps on China policy has "created a monster." But it's not too late for America, he says, so long as the political winds shift in the right direction.

Ask most Americans who follow politics to name the worst president in U.S. history and Jimmy Carter regularly comes to mind. But because of the utter fecklessness of Joe Biden -- Carter's legacy has changed a bit and now he seems better when compared to the present administration. But the gaslighting can only go so far. One media outlet is even claiming Carter wasn't a liberal -- that he was a conservative who paved the way to Ronald Reagan. As if Ronald Reagan needed paving. Historian and best-selling author Craig Shirley looks at Carter's presidency and talks about the truths of the 39th president's legacy. It's not all bad; but he definitely wasn't a conservative.

We're all commanded to share our faith with others -- but Christians don't always do a good job of it for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they are afraid they won't have all the right answers. Perhaps they are worried about sounding like a Jesus freak. Perhaps they are uncomfortable talking openly about their personal lives. Or perhaps they don't feel equipped to speak on behalf of God because they don't, for whatever reason, think they're good examples of God's grace. Whatever the reason, though, fact is: we're still commissioned to share our faith in Christ -- and this is what Sarah Rivette does on this episode. If you want to hear a touching story of how God works, and why you need God -- from someone who did not always believe in God -- then tune in.

It's Christmas season, so no time like now to hear how God works in the lives of His believers. Billy Hallowell, one of the nation's premier "faith" journalists -- who covers faith issues -- shares how God has worked in His life, through good times and bad, light times and dark. And the takeaway for listeners is simple: God loves you just as much and works in your life just as frequently. The key to knowing God's will, and how He's working, is to listen and to read the Bible.
