As chaos ensues on Capitol Hill and in foreign affairs, and a war begins in Israel, Mike is working around the clock in Congress to help resolve the unprecedented crises that will quite literally determine the future of our nationâand the survival of freedom around the globe.
At the center of it all is an open debate about who we are as conservatives and how we should lead. It made us think of a very important and timely conversation that Mike had last summer with one of the living legends of the movement, and we decided to share it again this week.
Everyone will benefit greatly from the priceless advice and perspective given here by Dr. Lee Edwards, the 90 year-old former Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought at The Heritage Foundation, a leading historian of American conservatism, and the author of more than 25 books, including biographies of Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley, Jr. and Edwin Meese III.
NEXT WEEK: Mike and Kelly will share their personal insights and much more about the truly historic developments occuring as we speak.

In this episode, Mike briefly addresses the latest on the looming government shutdown, and the tumultous Merrick Garland hearing, and then discusses the historic breaking point in the border catastrophe. As we are being overrun, Mike and Kelly present the answers that every Christian and freedom-loving American need to know and be able to simply explain: Why is a secure border essential? Why is it morally correct to insist upon a wall that can't be breached? What does the Bible tell us about all this?

Mike begins this program with a brief summary of where things stand on the current controversies in Congress? Will we have a govenrment shutdown on September 30th? Will President Biden be impeached? He answers it all in his interview with Meet the Press.
Then... did you know there's been a seismic shift in the restoration of our constitional guarantee to the free exercise of religion? From the military, to our childrenâs schools, houses of worship, charities, businesses and the marketplace, our local veteransâ memorials and our neighborhoods, Americans have more religious freedom than weâve had in 50 years. Today, we discuss this new reality and what it means for prayer in schools, Ten Commandments displays, and a myriad of other issues, with attorney Hiram Sasser, the Executive General Counsel of First Liberty Institute.

Recent events have inspired us to cover one of the most importantâand most misunderstoodâprinciples in American society today.
What place should religion have in the free marketplace of ideas? Does the so-called âseparation of church and stateâ prevent a public official from sharing his religious viewpoints or factoring his beliefs into his daily decisions? Do students in public schools still have any rights to religious expression? Are there simple rules of thumb that can help all of us to understand our rights, exercise them, and encourage others to do the same?
In this episode, Mike explains in simple terms what the law actually says and why itâs so important. He also answers the most frequently asked questions about this subject in a thoughtful discussion with his special guest and son, Jack Johnson (a Christian student leader who is practicing these principles on his school campus).

Who had the best night at the first Republican Presidential Candidates Debate? Donald Trump skipped the event and the granted an interview to Tucker Carlson instead... which just broke the record for the most-watched video of all time... in less than 24 hours.

What are the American people to make of the Devon Archer deposition, and the charges listed in the third indictment of President Trump? Is it time for the House to finally proceed with an impeachment inquiry of President Biden? If so, what can the country expect?

Why is this happening, and what does it mean for the future of our country? What can parents and grandparents do to help their children and grandchildren learn to think counterculturally and develop a Biblical worldview and a love of Truth?

In today's episode, Mike discusses the content and the fallout from Wednesday's landmark House Judiciary hearing with FBI Director Chris Wray. As the scandals stack up and a growing majority of Americans have lost faith in our nation's premier law enforcement agency, the director's testimony only made matters worse. Also included here are excerpts from several interviews following the hearing, in which Mike explains the huge implications of the lawless activity that has been uncovered.
Mike begins with a brief update and overview of what is being called "the most conservative National Defense Authorization Act in our history," and why "wokeness" in the U.S. military may soon be a thing of the past.

A landmark federal court ruling issued on July 4th has sent shockwaves throughout the country and has HUGE implications for the survival of free speech in America. On today's show, Mike discusses this development with his good friend, La. Attorney General Jeff Landry, who is leading the litigation that is shaping up to be one of the most explosive and important First Amendment cases in history. As the court found, the Republican attorneys general "have produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content."
Speaking of censorship, Mike and Kelly also discuss the implications of their friend Kirk Cameron's battle with the American Library Association and its overt effort to sabotage his pro-faith, pro-family "story hour" movement. Why is there such hostility against conservatives voices, and especially the Christian faith? Mike and Kelly present the answer.
After a momentous Independence Day, today's epsiode reminds us freedom must be vigorously defended now more than ever.

We're delighted to relay some breaking and very encouraging news on this early Friday morning! Yesterday (June 29), the Supreme Court issued two landmark opinions that will have a significant effect on American society and the survival of our constitional rights.

(Even more landmark Supreme Court opinions are expected later today...)
ALSO, Mike presents in this episode his long-awaited announcement about the ALLIANCE FOR RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP (ARC)--a new, historic, international movement of top conservative thought leaders from around the globe who are uniting to develop a vision and strategy to oppose the rise of radical Leftist ideologies and big government tyranny, and defend the moral, cultural, and spiritual foundations that ensure human flourishing.

As truth is now openly challenged and a deluge of huge cultural issues are hitting close to home for every American, itâs becoming more important than ever for all people of good conscience, and certainly Christians, to be able to think through the issues and respond appropriately. In this episode, Mike and Kelly discuss the impact of the explosive documentary, âWhat is a Woman?,â how conservatives and traditionalists are finally awakening from their slumber and fighting back, and what the Bible says about our specific approach to the culture wars. They also discuss the new initiative to recognize June as âFidelity Month,â to help restore Americansâ belief in the importance of values like patriotism, religion, family, and community.

In today's House Judiciary Committee markup of "The Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023" (H.R. 2640)--a bill Mike co-authored--the Democrat opponents of the bill claimed he and his Republican colleagues are "anti-Christian" and "immoral" for trying to fix the profound humanitarian, national security, and economic catastrophe that the Biden Administration's policies have unleashed on our country. Are the Democrats correct?
We are compelled to share again here the 4th epsiode of our show (originally aired on April 5, 2022), which explains exactly why all people of faith should support strong border security--and the simple way to correct the Leftâs claim that such a position is inconsistent with our Biblical mandates.
The moment that Title 42 expires on May 11, 2023, America's strongest remaining tool to deter in any way the flow of illegal aliens will be gone, and the unmitigated disaster at our border will become exponentially worse. Mike and Kelly present here what every freedom-loving American urgently needs to know RIGHT NOW to thoughtfully address this topic.

Mr. Johnson, who represents Louisiana, pointed out that he, not Mr. Cicilline, is an evangelical Christian. And he said Leviticusâ charge is to individuals, not to the government. âYou have to see to whom the order is given. That order is not given to civil authorities and the government. That order is given to individuals,â he said. âWe do reach out to the sojourner, but it is not the job of the federal government to do it.â
