Date: August 16, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider MP3 | Order

Jim pulled numerous interesting stories from the stack that formed the news cycle this past week.  Here’s a sample:

–The Kamala Harris campaign accused Elon Musk of trying to control democracy through the interview that took place Monday evening with Donald Trump.

–The Harris campaign has been caught editing the headlines of various outlets to appear in America’s Google searches as sponsored ads according to an Axios report.

–Days after Vice President Kamala Harris was named the Democratic presidential nominee, a July 2023 video clip of her advocating for reducing the population made its way through social media.  Jim provided audio from the clip. 

–Vice President Kamala Harris, in an attempt to attract voters in Pennsylvania, appear to be back-tracking on her previous desire for a ban on fracking.

Health Emergency Declared & Current Healthcare Challenges

Date: August 15, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Twila Brase MP3 | Order

Twila Brase is president and co-founder of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom, a national, patient-centered, privacy-focused, free-market policy organization to support health care choices, individualized patient care and medical and genetic privacy.  Twila is a certified public health nurse and author of the eight-time award-winning book, Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records.  She’s the speaker on the daily Health Freedom Minute broadcast heard on stations across the nation.

Yesterday the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of Monkeypox (Mpox) in Africa as a public health emergency of international concern.  This is based upon the increase in cases (more than 14,000 reported) and the number of deaths (about 524 reported) that have occurred.  The declaration was made in Geneva by Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, the Director General of the WHO.  It’s the highest level of alarm that can be conveyed by the WHO.  

Twila began by asking if such a declaration would have been made in the pre-COVID era.  She believes the WHO is playing rather loose with the idea of a global emergency.  For example, in contrast to the COVID pandemic, there are absolutely no reported cases of Mpox in the U.S. and it’s typically caught within the homosexual population so it has more limited reach.  So she feels that to call this a “global emergency of the highest kind” is perhaps an attempt to help them keep their power and presence in the news as they had during the COVID pandemic.

As this program unfolds you’ll hear about dangerous DEI practices in medicine, the shortage of doctors and nurses, the challenges of Medicare, Twila’s feelings about Governor Walz of Minnesota, her views on the two election tickets and how they view healthcare, as well as input from callers across America.

Tension Rising in the Middle East

Date: August 14, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Dr. Gary Frazier MP3 | Order

Israeli Defense Forces are on high alert over a possible attack from Iran due to the recent killing of Iran-related proxy group leaders.  Some speculate that this might only be hours or perhaps days away.  There’s concern that an attack could spark a greater regional war.  This has resulted in the U.S. deploying both increasing naval and air assets to the region to defend Israel in an attempt to hopefully deescalate tensions.

What might this signal in terms of Bible prophecy?  Returning to Crosstalk to answer that question was Dr. Gary Frazier.  Dr. Frazier is a respected speaker and writer on the subject of Bible prophecy.  He’s the founder and president of Discovery Missions.  He is the author of numerous books including: Miracle of Israel, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Hell is for Real, Divorcing God: The Two Americas and The Event: The Dream of World Peace Realized.

Gary explained that from the days of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Israel today, we see that Islamic leaders have not changed their mind concerning the total annihilation of Israel and its people.  He also noted that there is no such thing as a political solution to a religious problem.  So why would anyone, especially the people in Washington, think that Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah would desire to enter into a negotiated agreement to establish peace, especially when under Islam it’s OK to lie, manipulate and use infidels to accomplish one’s goals? 

This is the foundation of this edition of Crosstalk that also discusses the following:

China has allegedly been goading Iran into attacking Israel.  What’s behind this?  

What influence might the U.S. be having on Israel concerning their response toward Iran?  

What is the Muslim “long game” strategy and how does it contrast with America’s materialist mindset.

Gary explains why the pre-tribulation rapture teaching is biblical, which was an answer to one of several calls from listeners nationwide.

Pakistani Outreach Grows Under Persecution

Date: August 13, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Pastor Shahid Kaleem MP3 | Order

Pastor Shahid Kaleem is founder and chairman of Christian Literature & Translation Ministry in Pakistan.  He has been partnering for several years with Bible Tracts Inc. for effective ministry of Bible tract and Bible distribution ministry in Pakistan.

Pakistan is a nation that comes in at number 5 in terms of world population with just over 251 million.  Much persecution is taking place there against Christians because of their stand for the Gospel.  This is not surprising because according to Voice of the Martyrs, close to 98% of the population is Muslim while nearly 2% is Christian.  Yet while persecution abounds, Christianity is also on the rise.  

Listen to this broadcast and you’ll hear Pastor Kaleem as he describes incidents of persecution/violence that have taken place in Christian areas of Pakistan and how this parallels what happened to Stephen in Acts 6-7.  Also discussed is how the Israeli war against Hamas is affecting Christians in Pakistan, their constitution’s stand toward Christianity, people coming to Christ in spite of persecution, the need for a printing press for his tract ministry, Pastor Kaleem’s personal testimony and much more.

Prayerfully consider giving so that as many as possible can be reached with the Gospel in Pakistan.

Grace Schara Lawsuit Update

Date: August 12, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Scott Schara MP3 | Order

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 al.  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.

This broadcast is the 5th on this important topic since January 5th of 2022.  Scott gave a brief review of the details of Grace’s one-week stay in the hospital and the protocols that actually didn’t follow the standards that you hear about concerning COVID-19, which typically involve remdesivir and ventilators.

Scott then discusses the lawsuit which is based upon 5 claims: wrongful death, medical malpractice, lack of informed consent, medical battery and a declaratory judgment related to the illegal “do not resuscitate” order.  Scott also noted the illegal combination of medicines that Grace was given before her death (Precedex, lorazepam and morphine).

It would be helpful to hear the earlier programs dealing with this issue.  Go to crosstalkamerica.com.  At the top of the page click on “Crosstalk”, then “Program Recaps” and in the search box on the right side of the page type in “Grace Schara”.
