Critical for conservatives is electing candidates who are committed to the Constitution and the principles of limited government and individual liberty and justice. In this show, we discuss what is at stake in the 2020 elections and what we need to know and do if we are going to help protect Judeo-Christian values and principles. We get an insider’s perspective from Nancy Schultz, founder of the Republican Congressional Wives Speakers in Washington, D.C. Nancy is an important mover and shaker who provides an insider look at politics behind the scene and lots of advice about what we can and should be doing for our nation.

More than thirty years ago, Joy Lamb asked God how to pray for the hundreds of people who wrote to the ministry for which she worked. Joy heard a specific response: “Pray my Word Child. It brings healing in all areas. Trust me! Pray my Word.” In the Christian world there are believers who don’t know how to pray and those who have prayed but have questioned whether God really exists and if he does, does He care about me and my issues. In this interview, Joy and I discuss her life of prayer and the short handbook of prayers she has written for Believers who need help in praying God’s word. Join me on this exciting journey as this woman of God shares her testimony and how she became a spiritual warrior.

What do you know about socialism and its impact on American society? Suppose I was to tell you that socialism threatened your individual liberties, religious freedom, and property rights. Would you be shocked, concerned, or nonchalant? Too many Americans are nonchalant. They are ignorant of the threat socialism poses to their way of life. What if the “greatest threat facing the United States today doesn’t come from China, Iran, or even Russia”? What if “it’s the growing number of Americans who believe Karl Marx’s socialism provides the best strategy for making our communities safer, healthier, and more prosperous?” My guest today is Justin Haskins editorial director and a research fellow at the Heartland Institute. Justin heads the Heartland Institute’s “Stopping Socialism Project” and he is the author of Socialism is Evil: The Moral Case Against Marx’s Radical Dream. He will share with us how the move towards socialism threatens our way of life.

Have you ever thought about voting with your pocketbook? It’s about becoming the people who shape society by making strategic decisions about where you buy your goods and services.

We need police officers to enforce the rule of law in our cites, states, and towns. Unfortunately, around the country more and more police officers are turning in their badges before they reach retirement age. Nashville, a rapidly growing city, has a shortage of almost 200 officers and is understaffed for a city that receives thousands of 911 calls. Why do the officers leave? We can easily cite poor leadership, low morale, and inadequate pay. We also know that around the country police officers have been disrespected and harassed often by the people in the communities who need them the most. Joining me today to help us better understand the situation is Stephen Jenkins. Jenkins is a former Nashville police officer with a military background. Jenkins served on the Nashville Police force for 12 years and has worked in the Sheriff’s Department. He now works as a private detective and security specialist for Covert Results.

Abortion and the right to life has taken on a new salience in this country. Across the nation, no less than 5 states including Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Alabama have passed heartbeat bills in 2019, banning abortion whenever a heartbeat can be detected. As would be expected, many of these bills have been challenged in federal court and some have been declared unconstitutional because of Roe v. Wade (1973) which legalized abortion in the 50 states. Tennessee, where I live, is debating a heartbeat bill of its own. What is unique about this bill being debated in the state senate is an unusually legal argument that ties the right to life to the Ninth Amendment. The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Joining me today to explain the reasoning behind heartbeat bills is David Fowler, a lawyer and the founder and President of Family Action Council of Tennessee. David is the originator of the legal argument that seeks to tie the Ninth Amendment to the right to life for the unborn. For Further Insight: Family Action Council of Tennessee
According to the Democratic Party presidential candidates and numerous voices comprising the political left, President Donald Trump is a white nationalist, white supremacist, and a plain old racist. Labeling the President and his supporters as subhuman beings filled with hatred of racial and ethnic minorities has become a mantra of the political left. Joining me today to discuss the President and race relations more broadly is Evangelist Alveda King. She is a civil rights leader, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn.

Homelessness has become a growing problem for communities across America. Whether the root cause of the problem is mental illness or financial hardship, elected officials are tasked with finding solutions that protect the welfare of the community. Law enforcement officials often become the first point of contact with the homeless. Communities differ in the amount of authority delegated to law enforcement personnel and the range of options available for the less fortunate. Known as the “It” city, Nashville, Tennessee has seen an increase in homelessness and the panhandling and crime that sometimes accompanies the dysfunction that ensues. Joining me today, to make sense of the problem is Dr. Ron Martinelli. Dr. Martinelli is a former police detective and a renowned forensic criminologist. Using Nashville for much of the discussion, Dr. Martinelli breaks the problem down and shares his views about what can be done to improve the life of the community.

What explains the Democrats tolerance of anti-Semitism among some of its leaders. Given the Democrat’s widespread Jewish support, why have their national leaders not worked harder to protect Jewish people in America and abroad? Why the blatant hostility against Israel and the full embrace of the Palestinians?

Joining me today to share her unique perspective is Ilana Freedman, a Jewish American who has lived and worked in Israel.

What will it take for President Trump to win a second term? Right now, the 2020 presidential field is crowded with Democratic hopefuls, while potential Republican challengers sit, watch and wait. Only a couple of Republican unknowns, Governor Weld (R-MA) and Congressman Seth Moulton (R-MA) have dared venture forward. At this juncture, there are many unanswered questions. Will the Democrats continue to beat the impeachment drum? Will voters hold Democrats accountable for not addressing important issues such as immigration, health care reform, and the economy? Is President Trump vulnerable? If so, what can he do to enhance his chances of reelection? Most importantly, what role will Catholic and evangelical voters play in the 2020 election? Joining me today to grapple with these issues and more is Steve Gill, a conservative talk radio host and political commentator in Nashville, TN. Steve is the co-founder of several online newspapers, including the Tennessee and Ohio Star papers.
