Title: Protecting the Second Amendment from Biden’s Extreme Wishes
Topic: Second Amendment

Discussed by Cam Edwards
with Author

Cam Edwards is the spokesperson for the Second Amendment Foundation. He is also the Editor of Bearing Arms and hosts the popular podcast Cam & Company focusing on Second Amendment news and information.

Today, Cam discusses whether or not Americans want stricter gun control laws.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do Americans want more gun control laws? Cam discusses a recent Rasmussen poll. Why do some Americans favor more gun control laws? Can we “ban our way to safety”?

According to the Rasmussen poll, many Americans do want current gun laws enforced more vigorously. Would this help? Cam believes that it would definitely help and breaks down which laws need to be tweaked first. He says: “What we’re seeing right now is that criminals feel emboldened because they think they can get away with these crimes. And sadly, in many cases, they are getting away with murder.”

How high does gun control rank on voters’ wish list of priorities they want Biden to address? Guess what?!? It’s on the bottom of the list. Sorry, Biden!

Are Americans who defend their 2nd Amendment Rights winning the debate?

Title: Biden Says Ukrainians Should Have Guns! Why Not Americans?
Topic: Russia and Ukraine

Discussed by Cam Edwards
with Author

Cam Edwards is the editor for Bearing Arms and host of the popular podcast Cam & Company that focuses on Second Amendment news and information. Cam is also the spokesperson for the Second Amendment Foundation.

Today Cam Edwards discusses the growing escalation between Russia and Ukraine, resulting in Ukrainians arming themselves with the very weapons Biden wants to ban in the US. He also discusses the importance of background checks and proper training before owning or firing a weapon.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Until recently, gun ownership by Ukrainian citizens had been strictly regulated. What changed? Didn’t the Ukrainian government once-upon-a-time shoot and even kill its unarmed citizens?

What kind of guns are private citizens in Ukraine using to defend their country against invading Russian soldiers? Are those the same firearms Biden wants to be banned in the US? Cam Edwards says: “The Second Amendment is not about hunting.” Amen!

Do we know how many Americans own at least one gun?

Has gun ownership increased since Biden took office? Cam calls it the “Great Gun Run”…

Why are background checks required before purchasing a gun? Cam explains the process and also reveals that nearly a quarter of all recent gun purchases have been by first-time gun owners.

Why is it also important to be properly trained before carrying a weapon? Is it equally important to stay up-to-date with new regulations and continue to train – even if you’ve owned a gun for years?

What is the goal and purpose of the Second Amendment Foundation?

He has also written several books on climate change, including “Climate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind the Global Warming Hoax” and his newest book “Scared Witless”. The Kindle version is currently available on Amazon for FREE.

Today, Dr. Bell will be discussing the NYT’s sudden declaration that Americans aren’t buying the climate change hoax.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Did the New York Times really publish the following statement: "Demanding abrupt and expensive changes in public policy raises fair questions about ideological intentions. Censoriously asserting one’s moral superiority and treating skeptics as imbeciles and deplorables wins few converts."

Did the NYT also make the following statement: "Despite 30 years of efforts by scientists, politicians, and activists to raise [climate] alarm, nearly two-thirds of Americans are either indifferent to or only somewhat bothered by the prospect of planetary calamity"?

When polled, Americans respond that they want clean air and clean water. But how much more are Americans willing to pay for this?

“Having clean air and clean water is a trade-off between having clean politics and clean science,” Dr. Bell states. Tune in to the next segment with Larry as he discusses weather prediction accuracy.

In the 2014 National Assessment of education progress, reports found that only eighteen percent of eighth graders were proficient or above in U.S. History. In addition, only thirty-five percent of fourth graders could correctly state the purpose of the Declaration of Independence.

The original “Lucy” voice actor, Tracy Stratford, is the author of a new book series for children about the Peanuts Gang! In the books, Tracy shares stories of American Independence, exploring the new world, and pioneer adventures in the West. The books are designed to offer a kid-friendly explanation of how our country became the independent nation it is today.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is it most effective to teach children history through stories?

History has an impact on our world today, yet our public school system is failing to teach our children correct and thorough lessons. Why is it important to know and understand U.S. history – and to know it accurately?

Why is the Peanuts Gang an appropriate outlet for teaching kids about history? “When you have kids identifying with kids, solving problems, and creating understanding, it is so much more relevant,” Tracy Stratford believes.

Each of the stories explains a different aspect of American history. Listen in as Tracy gives more details about what parents can expect from the book series and what their children will learn.

Title: Scalia’s Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents
Topic: Book Review

Discussed by Kevin Ring
with Author

Author Kevin Ring has written a great book, “Scalia’s Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents”, about Justice Scalia and the impact he had on the Supreme Court. It is not a biography about the man, but rather a compilation with outstanding details of Scalia’s decisions.

The Table of Contents for “Scalia’s Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents” reads as follows: Separation of Power, Race, Abortion, Gun Rights, Death Penalty, Rights of the Accused, Religious Freedom, Illegal Immigration, Homosexuality, Sexual Equality, Free Speech, Non-Speech, and Unfree Speech, and Obamacare.

Kevin Ring did a superb job of portraying Justice Scalia in the positive light he deserves. Kevin says, “He wrote opinions that influenced the country – even when he lost!” He explains one specific dissent concerning partial birth abortion which actually later became law. Listen in as Kevin also reveals that Scalia was even able to convince several other Justices to change their opinion on cases to win the majority opinion! This demonstrations just how influential Scalia was.

“A book like this is only possible because he was such a brilliant communicator and writer,” Kevin Ring states. “He cared about language. He was funny and sarcastic. But [above all] he was persuasive.” Other Justices seem downrigh t boring in comparison!

The last question asked of Kevin concerns the nomination of a new Justice. Should the Senate allow Obama’s choice or wait until the next President is sworn in? Listen in to hear Kevin’s opinion.

Title: The Truth about Islam in Spain
Topic: Islam: Understand the Truth About Islam

Discussed by Professor Dario Fernandez-Morera
with Author

Part 1 of 3

Philosopher George Santayana once said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Professor Dario Fernandez-Morera is an expert on Muslims, Christians, and Jews under Islamic rule in mid-evil Spain. He is Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Northwestern University. He is here today to discuss some facts and myths about Islam.

President Obama has stated: “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia”. Professor Dario says this is absolutely false and explains how the Islamists treated both Christians and Jews like fourth or fifth-class citizens. They weren’t even good enough to be in second place! Even the freed slaves were considered higher class than the Christians and the Jews. Unbelievable.

March is “Women’s History Month”. Many liberals, even women, do not condemn the Islamic faith because they want to be tolerant of everyone and all religions. However, if real feminists wanted equal rights for all women of all races and cultures, they should be shouting from the rooftops against Islam and Shariah Law! Professor Dario says, “We defend what they do by saying: ‘We’re free in a different way.’ So that would give freedom a different meaning.” However, women are far from being free in Middle-Eastern countries, especially in Saudi Arabia.

Another myth about Islam discussed in this first segment concerns “preserved classical knowledge which was passed on to Europe”. Listen in as Professor Dario explains why this is so very important to know and understand in regards to the Bible and Greek. This topic leads into another myth about the Christians who supposedly conquered Spain. (HINT: It was really Muslims!)

Title: Part 2 of 3 - The Truth about Islam in Spain
Topic: Islam: Understand the Truth About Islam

Discussed by Professor Dario Fernandez-Morera
with Author

Professor Dario Fernandez-Morera continues to discuss the nature of the invasion of Spain in the Middle Ages. He says, “Both Muslim and Christian documents indicate that the invasion was cultivated by a religion to carry out Jihad.” The purpose of the invasion was to make the inhabitants not simply convert, but to actually submit. “There is a distinction,” as Professor Dario explains. Men, women, and even children were enslaved if they refused to convert; many were killed and the cities burned to the ground.

Islam is not a peaceful religion! We are still seeing these same horrendous “conquests” today in Syria, Iran, Iraq, and other countries in the Middle East. The tactics are very similar: beheadings, crucifixions, enslavement, and terror. Professor Dario wouldn’t necessarily call it “genocide” for this reason: “If they submitted, those people would be sources of income.” So they only kill those who won’t make them money!

How do the “conquests” of the mid-evil times and the “genocidal tactics” of today have in common? Professor Dario says, “The religious law in mid-evil times permeated every aspect of the Muslim conquerors lives. Islamic law by definition is a way of life. There is no distinction between civil law and religious law.”

Professor Dario goes on to describe the lives of those who lived in Spain in mid-evil times. Did everyone get along? Was everyone treated fairly? Was there peace? To put it simply: No. No. And no. Listen in to the last segment with Professor Dario as he goes into more detail.

Topic: Islam: Understand the Truth About Islam

Discussed by Professor Dario Fernandez-Morera

Last year, President Obama stated: “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding." Professor Dario Fernandez-Morera laughs at the thought! “The President, with all respect, is mixing things up,” he boldly states. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

While Professor Dario is not an expert on the Qur’an, he does have extensive knowledge concerning the deeds and sayings/writings of the prophet Muhammad. In those documents, followers are instructed to lie about their faith in order to gain the trust of non-believers. Once trust is obtained, then they begin to proselytize and convert, ultimately gaining conquest under submission. “You do whatever is necessary to establish the superiority of Islam,” he reveals. If you cannot see this happening all over the world, including in America, you are blind.

In the first segment, Professor Dario briefly discussed the misconception many have about the conquests in Spain during the mid-evil times. He explains in further detail in this segment that it was not the Christians who instigated the uprising; it was Muslims who wanted to conquer the country and used any means necessary to accomplish their goal.

“[Modern Islamists] are practicing the same teachings from mid-evil Spain,” Professor Dario believes. Everyone – men, women, children, Jews, Christians, non-believers, and especially homosexuals – should fear a Muslim conquest across the world. Too many people just simply do not understand just how truly despicable and horrifying Muslims truly are.

Title: Manly Advice for the Next Generation
Topic: Book Review

Discussed by Cam Edwards

Part 1 of 2

What has happened to men in America? Once upon a time, men in their twenties looked forward to settling down and having children. Today, most young men seem infected by a widespread Peter Pan syndrome, unwilling to give up the freedom to sleep late, play video games, dress like a slob, and play the field.

Cam Edwards is the co-author of Heavy Lifting: Grow Up, Get a Job, Start a Family, and Other Manly Advice. Cam says, “Yes, the economy has been bad, but that doesn’t explain it all.” Coming right out of high school or college has always been tough, no matter what the economy is like.

Cam believes that many young people, specifically men, are just afraid to struggle. They’ve been told all their lives that everything can perfect if they want it to be. And too many parents have tried to protect their kids from all physical and emotional damage. “We’re now getting to the point where these ‘special snowflakes’ can’t handle criticism and so they hideout in their parent’s basement for as long as they possibly can,” Cam says.

Too many men have bought the lie that getting married and having kids will shorten their life and make them unhappy. It’s more than just bringing home a paycheck. Nothing is perfect, but having a loving family to come home to every night is pretty close! Cam tells young men not be afraid of marriage; so much joy comes from committing your life to another person forever. “You’re doing something beyond yourself,” he says.

Listen in as Cam Edwards explains why he and his co-author Jim Geraghty wrote their book, Heavy Lifting: Grow Up, Get a Job, Start a Family, and Other Manly Advice. He hopes men will understand that their book is not meant to “scold” them for not being married and having kids. It’s more of an encouragement to men of all ages to get out there and do something! “Believe in yourself,” Cam says. “You’re never going to experience life if you’re content to stay in (your parent’s) basement for the rest of your life.” The book is full of all sorts of life circumstances which may pop up throughout the years, from job loss to homework to how to deal with a struggling marriage.

Title: Ban All Knives! They Kill People!
Topic: Gun Control

Discussed by Luke Adler
with Author

FACT: According to this FBI report, there were 11,961 murders in the United States in 2014. Of those murders, 660 were committed unarmed, 1,567 were committed with knives, and only 248 murders were committed using rifles of any type, including single-shot long arms and “assault rifles” routinely demonized by gun control groups.

Luke Adler, a retired US Marshall, discusses some instances where “edged weapons” were used to kill people in what were deemed “mass killings”. He says the data proves itself. “In the UK, someone is assaulted with a knife every four minutes,” Luke reveals. Four minutes!! But how does the US compare? Listen in as Luke gives the facts!

The government wants us to fully rely on them, the police, and the EMS when something bad like a shooting or robbery occurs. However, the national average response time is seven minutes. Seven minutes!! We have the right to protect ourselves and our families. The bandits will use whatever they can get their hands on. We should be able to respond in kind.

The issue we should be focusing on, though, is how many lives are saved because someone had a gun and wasn’t afraid to use it. According to the Buckeye Firearm Association, guns are used an average of 2.5 Million times each year to prevent a crime, usually without a shot being fired, meaning that guns are used over 300 times more often to save innocent lives. “The bad guys want to see law-abiding citizens unarmed. They want to see police officers defenseless. That is what they want,” Luke Adler warns. And he is exactly right.

Luke encourages every law-abiding citizen to consider owning some sort of firearm to protect your home, business, and family. “I practice gun control at the range as often as I possibly can. You should do the same,” Luke believes.

Title: Hillary Clinton is a Liar. Period.
Topic: Hillary Clinton

Discussed by Luke Adler
with Author

Part 1 of 2

Hillary Clinton has lied about what was on her computer. She has lied about the emails she sent and received. She has lied about deleting those emails. She has lied about having a personal server at her home to conduct official government business. She has lied, lied, lied. And the MSM has done nothing to expose her or her lies.

Luke Adler is a former US Marshall with over 3,000 felony arrests under his belt. He is experienced in hunting down criminals and bringing them to justice. He is here today to analyze reports, some public – maybe some classified or private – concerning Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal server while she was Secretary of State.

No one should have special privileges when it comes to illegal activity and breaking the law. Luke says, “As we stand in front of Lady Justice, whoever we are, we must receive equal justice.” However, justice never seems to be served appropriately when it comes to members of Obama’s government tribe.

For instance, General David Petraeus was disgraced and thrown out of the military for revealing secrets to his paramour, which later were written in a book. Petraeus did not receive jail time for his betrayal, but instead received a two-year probation and $100,000 fine.

Topic: Hillary Clinton

Discussed by Luke Adler

One of the secrets Luke Adler will never share is how he catches the bad guys. Hillary Clinton didn’t think she would ever get caught. She, along with so many of the government elite, think they are above the law.

But why is Hillary Clinton getting special treatment despite her obvious criminal behavior? Luke Adler has some thoughts about why Hillary thought she wouldn’t get caught. He also explains what a “SCIF” is: a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. Everyone who has high level security clearance, has access to a SCIF. It is where the sensitive material is stored – and kept! (Key Word: “kept”.) Shocker: Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, signed off on this in 2010!

Government employees, including Hillary Clinton, were told and trained on the proper use of this SCIF. She knew she couldn’t have a private server. She knew she couldn’t conduct government business with a personal email account. She knew she couldn’t delete emails which included sensitive government information. She knew. The MSM knows she knew it was against the law, yet they still won’t touch her with a ten-foot pole. “Claiming ignorance is not a defense,” Luke Adler points out.

Note: You can Google “2010 SCIF” and find some information on this topic.

Bernie Otis is just a man who has seen a lot during his years on earth – all 86 years of them! He was involved in the design and construction of Disneyland food services and hotels in Las Vegas. Now Bernie uses his lifetime of experiences to help bring laughter to others. His heart is with others like him – those growing old but don’t want to!

Bernie has a fun and funny new book out "How to Prepare for Old Age – (Without Taking the Fun out of Life)”. The title alone tells you it’s a great read! Listen in as Bernie explains a little about why he decided to write a book that everyone can read! His wife, who tragically passed away in 2012 from cancer, was a big inspiration to him.

Bernie also talks about death, but not in a depressing way. He says to make sure you establish good relationships with all the people you meet and become aware of the opportunities that are presented to you. When Bernie asks elderly people about the regrets they have in life, the number one answer is that they did not make enough friends and keep relationships strong. “Life is more than just the last two weeks. Death should be a celebration,” he says.

Bernie Otis now spends his days helping elderly people grow older while still having fun! He says, “Many older people don’t want to lose their independence. Their children don’t really know how to approach the issue. This results in bad situations for everyone.”

Bernie urges all families to discuss the options available when their parents or grandparents become 65-75 years old. Even teenagers need to be involved in the discussion so they can learn what to do when their own parents get older. Yes, it is a difficult discussion to have, but waiting too long may be too late.

FACT: 65-75% of the deaths occur because of the result of a fall.

Whether you are 15 or 85, it is never too late to live life to its fullest! Bernie’s advice is this: “Get up each morning and do something to help someone who needs help. Do something you like to do.” He also says it is good to have written goals, or a “bucket list” as the young people call it these days. “When you don’t have an objective, then your life is over with. Live each day actively, no matter how old you are.”

Bernie also urges you to stay involved in your elderly loved one’s life, even if they live in an assisted living facility far away. Call them up as often as you can if you can’t physically see them. Take grandchildren to visit them; it will benefit both the old and the young!

Title: Will Sanctuary Cities Ruin America?
Topic: Sanctuary Cities

Discussed by Luke Adler
with Author

It is my belief, as the host of The What’s UP Radio Program, that sanctuary cities absolutely do enable repeat criminal offenders to return to the US, even after multiple deportations. Many heinous crimes are committed by illegal aliens all across the US against law-abiding citizens, specifically in these sanctuary cities.

Luke Adler is a retired US Deputy Marshal and a former member of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force in St. Louis. He specialized in the Balkans terrorist and organized crime groups and intelligence operations in other high risk communities. You name the crime, he’s probably dealt with it personally.

Luke explains how illegal aliens are coming into America from every border, not just from the south. They walk, ride in cars, come in boats, hop trains, and even take airplanes! How is this possible with security as advanced as it is? How are more illegals not caught?

Even more appalling are the number of multinational organized criminal gangs that are in nearly every major city across the nation. Sanctuary cities are actually breeding grounds for gangs and they are destroying the livelihood of honest, hard-working Americans. In Luke Alder’s opinion, sanctuary cities violate federal law and we must demand our elected officials take action immediately.

Luke Alder’s book, Chasing Bandits, can be found here.

Chasing Bandits chronicles the true stories of ten bandits on the run who thought they could escape capture. They were wrong. The information contained in Chasing Bandits is based on true events and the characters are real. However, some details, such as names and locations, have been blended, altered, or fabricated for security purposes.

They were in America! It seemed unreal, like a dream you didn’t want to wake up from. The Chung’s had been “adopted” by a little church in Fort Smith, Arkansas – all nine of them! They were together and they were safe.

But things were far from easy. Although they were given a home with free rent for six months and food, they had no furniture and the food was strange to them. Vinh Chung’s dad had once been a wealthy man and now he was working for a mere $90 a week. They could not afford to rent the house any longer and had to move.

TThe eldest Chung told his children: “Work hard. Do well in school. Go to college. Don’t end up like me.” And his children did what he said. All eleven children (the parents had more!) have graduated from various Universities and Ivy League colleges from across the country.

You just left the doctor’s office. You call your spouse, a parent, or your closest friend. You tell them you have cancer.

Now what? Not much generates panic like a cancer diagnosis. In fact, most people fear cancer more than diabetes or heart failure. It is most definitely a scary diagnosis. But there is hope!

Dr. Kevin Ryan has over 30 years of experience as a hematologist-oncologist. He is a retired Air Force Colonel and clinical professor at the University of California-Davis School of Medicine. He is also a cancer survivor.

Dr. Ryan wrote the book, “When Tumor is the Rumor and Cancer is the Answer”, to help cancer victims deal with the emotional side of the disease, as well as how individuals and families can stay actively involved throughout the treatment process.

What was God’s reason for the destruction of the earth? Hollywood says it was purely environmental. What does the Bible say?

God’s love for mankind is unconditional. Hollywood says it depends on us and what we do.

We do not know much about Noah, but we do know he was a righteous man in a time of wickedness. Listen in as Larry Stone gives some insight in the movie vs. the Bible.

February is Dating Violence Prevention Month. Physical abuse in relationships is starting younger and younger – even as young as 11 years old! And many of these young girls continue to stay with their abuser.

Elayne Bennett warns that not all the blame should be placed on the boyfriend. Many times, they are in a crisis as well.

Bill O’Reilly, anchor, Fox News Channel, says this of Elayne Bennett’s new book: “There is no higher calling than protecting America’s children. In “Daughter’s in Danger”, Elayne Bennett does just that in a vivid way.”

Parents, home time is critical. Be involved, invite your teen’s friends over, ask questions.

Remember, you are not your child’s best friend; you are her parent.

The Chronicles of Narnia has been translated into many languages and is by far C.S. Lewis most popular work with over 100 million copies being sold worldwide.

The Chronicles of Narnia is a great series to introduce younger children to Christianity. It invites open discussion about God and Revelation. The Chronicles of Narnia series, as well as many of C.S. Lewis’s other books, are great resources for Christians to give to atheists and agnostics to show them love and mercy of God.

Part 1 of 2

Our guest is Professor Dr. Jonathan Meer, a Professor at Texas A&M. He takes exception to the ‘Bill of Goods’ sold to the Americans by the Obama Administration and others in Congress.

Americans were told:

    1.     After passage, Americans could keep their doctors. This is not going to happen.
    2.     Premiums would go down. This is not happening, instead they are going up.
    3.     There would be more doctors! Nope!

With the new healthcare law, going into effect in less than a month, we are now finding out what is in the bill. Many Americans are surprised with the results.

Please listen in.

Americans are now discovering:

    1.     Businesses are NOT hiring full-time employees
    2.     Businesses are CUTTING hours to part-time
    3.     Some Businesses are laying off workers

Pro is the opposite of Con and Congress is the opposite of Progress. If you think you will love Obamacare, then you must love the Post Office a Christmas time.

The estimated student loan debt is over $1 trillion, making college education one of the most expensive products in America. So, how do you know if you or your child should even go to college?

Generations of Americans have been told that getting a bachelor’s degree is the key to a relatively prosperous life. But the news has been filled with stories recently of the financial hardships colleges graduates today are facing: high debt, living with parents or relatives, delaying marriage and children, low-wage jobs that have nothing to do with their pricey degree.
