This broadcast highlights the sentencing of pro-lifers as a result of allegedly violating the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act. For example:
Joan Andrews Bell, sentenced to 27 months in jail, community service and a $125 fine.
Lauren Handy, sentenced to 4 years in prison, 3 years supervision and a $125 fine.
John Hinshaw, sentenced to one year and a $125 fine.
Will Goodman, sentenced to 18 months and a $125 fine.
These are just 4 of several pro-lifers that Jim referred to from a recent LifeSite News article showing how the Biden administration is willing to use the Department of Justice as a weapon to silence their political enemies and perpetuate the killing of the unborn.
Juxtapose these sentences with those of carjackers, those who’ve attacked churches since the leak of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, those who’ve attacked pro-life pregnancy centers, illegal aliens and more.
How is this equal justice under the law when such individuals are conspiring to be peaceful on behalf of those who have no voice? That question is answered as Jim presented the facts, and listeners responded, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Mark Hancock is CEO of Trail Life USA and author of, Why Are We Sitting Here Until We Die?
Sadly, we live in a society today that’s lost its way to such an extent that many don’t even seem to know the difference between male and female. Gender confused males are dominating women’s sports and now the Boy Scouts, once known for their values and deep respect for both God and country, are dropping the word “Boy” from their name, changing it to “Scouting America”.
Since the Scouts have seemingly taken the next step down the slippery slope, is there an alternative? Yes there is. It’s called Trail Life USA. Mark described how it all started in June of 2013 when about 50 people gathered in Louisville, Kentucky. 68 days later an inaugural convention took place at Nashville, Tennessee, where 1,200 people came from 44 states. That’s where they announced the name and the general line of the program. 3 months later, on January 1, 2014, the program was officially launched. Since that time they’ve grown to over 1,200 troops in all 50 states with nearly 60,000 members.
Review this edition of Crosstalk to learn about their motto, their core value, the connection to local churches, their outdoor focus, servant leadership and other hallmarks that make this organization a God-pleasing choice for helping young boys become men of Christ.

A.F. Branco Cartoon – Biden continues his threat of withholding weapons to Israel in light of his recent poll numbers sinking. Israel seems resolute in its effort to rid Hamas since they slaughtered 1700 of their innocent civilians on October 7th. Biden stated that his support for Israel is unshakable, but the latest polls appear…

The 77th World Health Assembly takes place from May 27th through June 1st in Geneva, Switzerland. The theme is, “All for health, health for all.” This assembly is the main decision making body of the World Health Organization, comprised of 194 member states.
What this assembly has in store for us is what brought Mat Staver back to Crosstalk. Mat is founder & chairman of Liberty Counsel. He’s a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom and Freedom’s Call.
Mat noted that just a few years ago there were members of the U.S. Congress that believed the World Health Organization is merely an advisory organization and couldn’t be legally binding. Is that really true?
First of all, what is the World Health Organization? The WHO is a U.N. agency located in Geneva, Switzerland, that is pushing what Mat referred to as two different tracks. One has to do with up to 300 amendments dealing with their international health regulations. The other track involves the drafting of a brand new pandemic agreement/treaty. The WHO is trying to get these passed by the 194 member nations of which the U.S. is one. All they need is a simple majority of nations to agree to pass these regulations. This would change the WHO from being an advisory body to one whose statements and advisories would be legally binding under international law on member nations.
Can President Biden unilaterally sign the U.S. under the WHO without approval from the U.S. Senate, and if so, why would he do it? How could this be challenged? What might this mean for our national sovereignty and freedom? Is this the beginning of a one-world government under the rubric of world health care? Hear the answers and then become informed so you can make a difference.
