Mat is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--This program dealt with a number of issues, but the primary focus concerned recent Supreme Court cases. The first one dealt with the court's hearing of oral arguments on March 18th in the case of Murthy v. Missouri. At issue was the Biden administration's pressuring of social media platforms to remove posts that they believe are falsehoods dealing with topics such as the COVID pandemic or the 2020 presidential election. --The next item discussed involved the court's hearing of oral arguments over two cases that were consolidated- FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and Danco Laboratories LLC v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. Some say that this could have the potential effect of stopping mail-order abortions. That's because, as Mat explains in detail, these cases deal with

These and other headlines are covered on the -Round-Up- this week.----The massive spending bill presented by House Republican leaders is filled with millions of dollars in funding for LGBT organizations, including -845,000 for gay garden parties. --The 1.2 trillion dollar spending bill released by Speaker Mike Johnson was blasted by Representatives Chip Roy and Marjorie Taylor Green.

We have an identity crisis in America. People are trying to discover who they are, especially those from the younger generations. In fact, some will spend large sums of money to discover themselves on self-awareness retreats. With this phenomenon there's been a rise in attention on psychology, gender, sexuality and identity politics. Life has become subjective for many as their search is based on feelings and the flames of this model are being fanned by social media, politics and pop culture. --Appearing on Crosstalk to discuss this issue was Martyn Iles. Martyn is an Australian-born lawyer, commentator, and the Executive CEO of Answers in Genesis, home to the highly acclaimed Creation Museum and the world-renowned Ark Encounter. Previously, Martyn was the co-founder of a not-for-profit law firm specializing in religious freedom cases.

The State of Texas has been overrun by those attempting to enter illegally. The safety of residents has been put in jeopardy, crime has increased, public services have been stretched, the healthcare system has suffered, disease has been brought in and more. The state is saying, -enough is enough- because the federal government has refused to follow the law so the state legislature and governor have stepped up to deal with the issue. The problem is that at every turn, they've been opposed and taken to court by the Biden administration.--With more on this issue, Crosstalk welcomed back Mark Krikorian. Mark is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.--Earlier this year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that the federal government has broken the compact between the U.S. and the states and that the executive branch of the U.S. has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting the states, including immigration laws.--Mark

Scott Schara is the father of Grace Schara, the 19-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome who tested positive for COVID, was hospitalized and treated following the protocols carried out in hospitals across the country. Grace was ushered into eternity on October 13, 2021. Scott is presently engaged in a landmark lawsuit, Schara vs. Ascension Health et all. He warns about the dangers of incentivized healthcare. His work and story have been chronicled in a chapter of the Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Rise of the Fourth Reich.--Scott began with a brief review of the equipment and drugs that were used to treat his daughter. Part of this involved the drug -cocktail- that she had been given for her COVID condition. Another critical factor is the Do-Not-Resuscitate -DNR- order that was placed on her without Scott's permission at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton, Wisconsin.--As a result, Scott brought forth a landmark lawsuit -Schara v. Ascension Health et al-. In the lawsuit, Scott has a wrongful death claim, a med

April 15th is a day that has gone down in notoriety. On April 15, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died. He was shot the night before in Ford's Theatre. On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank, having struck an iceberg the night before. April 15, 1927, was the Great Mississippi Flood where some 15 inches of rain fell in 18 hours causing the river to break out of its levee system at well over 100 locations and caused flooding in 10 states. In 1954, April 15th became the deadline for filing income tax returns. No doubt you've heard the familiar quote of Benjamin Franklin who said, 'Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable- but in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.' --We have all come to realize the impact taxes have upon us, but are you aware of the history of the income tax and how it came about-- What was its purpose-- Is today's modern system of taxes a breach from what was originally intended--

They want individuals to accept this world's system which includes immorality, socialism, diversity, equity, inclusion and deep-state solutions.--There are entities who want the populace to do nothing more than follow the pied piper and the allurement of his magical tune.

Also, how many sources will be telling you that just today, over 100 rockets were launched from Lebanon into northern Israel----There's a reason for all of this and Dr. Schmidt explained why from a biblical perspective as he looked at the following---While some concentrate on the 30,000 Palestinians that are said to have been killed in t

Harden believes we now have two different justice systems in America.

There is a growing skepticism toward God in American culture today. Some foolishly deny that God exists. Others say they do not know if God exists, while others merely hope that God exists. God wants us to know that he does exist and that his word, the Bible, is his timeless and unchangeable revelation to mankind.-In fact, from Psalm 19-1 to Romans 1-20, we see that nature reveals God's existence and everyone is accountable and without excuse. --Appearing on Crosstalk to demonstrate this fact was Bruce Malone. Bruce is executive director of Search for the Truth Ministries, an organization that widely disseminates Bible-affirming creation materials. Bruce has spent over 30 years bringing the scientific evidence for creation to churches and schools at seminars throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Tonight, President Biden will deliver his State of the Union address.

Santa Barbara Black Studies Department has organized what's being called, -A Day of Interruption.- It's taking place today with subsequent -work slowdowns- to protest steps that the administrators recently took to support Jewish students and to quell anti-semitic protests on campus.--According to Axios, more than half -65-- of voters think that the nation is heading in the wrong direction.

There are just over 8 billion people on earth and according to World Population Review, an estimated 2 billion of those are children between the ages of 0-14. This means it's critical that children be reached with the Gospel message. One such group that's focusing on this demographic is Child Evangelism Fellowship. Through their Good News Clubs and other outreach efforts, they have a vision of reaching every child, every nation, every day. --Moises Esteves is Executive Vice President of Child Evangelism Fellowship. He was born and raised in Portugal, was saved at the age of 9, and at the age of 17 felt God's call into vocation ministry.--In 2001, the Supreme Court decided by a 6-3 vote, in favor of Child Evangelism Fellowship in the case of Good News Clubs v.

Pastor Jack Hibbs is senior and founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, California. He's the author of the newly released book, Living in the Daze of Deception.--Pastor Hibbs began by pointing out that the word, -daze- in the title isn't a typo, it's deliberate as it came out of a sermon series that he did.

When he looked into it more he discovered that people have been buying these extra copies for non-believers. As he explained, you don't have to be a Christian to figure out that what's in this book is happening in your living rooms, neighborhoods, state and world.--He believes the elements of deception are everywhere. In other words, evil kno
