Michael Germi is a former Muslim, born in Iran into a Shia Muslim family. In this setting he learned to practice Islam praying 5 times a day toward Mecca. He fasted during Ramadan. He practiced self-mutilation for the cause of Allah. He migrated to Australia in 2006 and in 2009 found faith in Jesus Christ. He later moved to the U.S. where he now proclaims the Gospel to Islamic nations. He’s written several Farsi Christian books and desires to plant churches around the world where Persians are scattered.
Michael began with some history of Iran as they moved from conditions under the Shah to rule by the Ayatollah. He describes how he grew up learning the Qur’an and Islam, not by choice, but by force and how he was taught he’d go to Hell if he didn’t abide by/practice the Islamic traditions.
The focus eventually switches to the helicopter crash that took the life of 63 year old Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other high ranking officials. Raisi was known as the “Butcher of Tehran” and the “Hangman of Tehran”, having massacred thousands of Iranians. Funeral services will run over several days.
As the broadcast moves along you’ll hear Michael as he comments on how this will affect the political situation in Iran due to the fact that Raisi was the potential successor to the current Supreme Leader. He also comments on the reaction of the people to the death of Raisi, whether an Iranian official might have caused the helicopter crash, what we know about the current vice-president, Michael’s passion for reaching people in Iran with the Gospel message and much more.

Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies. They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States. He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets.
The discussion began with a look at the surge of Chinese nationals coming to the U.S. at rates never before seen. In fact, Mark noted that since Biden became president, there have been more than 50,000 Chinese illegal immigrants that have come here, with most of them arriving through San Diego. This is an obvious security issue for us and a great opportunity for the Chinese government to use the flow to include various types of espionage agents.
According to Mark, people from about 175 countries are known to be here. In other words, the immigration situation has to be dealt with in dramatic fashion and Senator Marco Rubio makes that clear in an audio clip presented by Jim from Meet the Press.
Review this broadcast and you’ll also hear the following discussed:
Just last week nearly 150 House Democrats opposed legislation that detains and deports illegal immigrants who attack police officers.
Are non-citizens illegally registering to vote?
How do you round up two million “gottaways”?
The latest attempt to pass a border security bill.
The connection between U.S. immigration policy and drugs.

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.
