National Crawford Roundtable

Recently, Randi Weingarten, the radical, Leftist, open lesbian President of the National Federation of Teachers-the largest U.S. teacher's union--made herself a candidate for the 2023 "Clueless Award" by asking, "What's behind the increase in homeschooling?" This after pushing COVID shutdowns, transgenderism, drag queens in schools, men in girl's bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, eroding parental rights, CRT, DEI, and overall Marxist, godless ideology. So, what's happening in our public schools, and should Christian parents allow their children to attend them?

In Part 1 of the National Crawford Roundtable Podcast we discuss the Israel-Hamas temporary cease-fire deal. Is it a good deal? It's a 4-day cease-fire where 3 Israeli-held prisoners are released for every one Hamas-held hostage. Was this deal actually brokered by the Biden Administration? Could it have been done to appease the younger voter base who seemingly oppose Israel? In Part 2 we'll talk about the Thanksgiving Holiday and what we, as Christians, are and should be grateful for.

Why has political polarization and divide in America increased? There was a time when Republicans and Democrats could agree to disagree and remain friends, but those days seem to be gone. The Left says the GOP has "moved radically to the Right." The Right says the Democrats have "moved radically to the Left." Is this actually true? In a recent poll asking if the opposing Party is a "threat to American life?" 52% of Biden supporters said yes, while 47% of Trump supporters said yes. In another poll that asked, "if violence is justified to stop the other Party from achieving their goals?" 41% of Biden supporters said yes, and 38% of Trump supporters said yes. We will analyze these results in this podcast.

Episode 221-2023 United States Elections- Why did the GOP fare so poorly? Is this a barometer for the 2024 election? What does it mean for next year? Are social issues proving to be a "loser" for Republicans, or not? What happened to Ohio's Abortion Proposal?

Please enjoy a replay of a previous National Crawford Roundtable podcast, Episode 212-Conspiracy Theories. How do we know what's true, what's not, and what constitutes a "conspiracy theory"? Christians are often accused of being gullible and falling for conspiracy theories, is this true? A few of the common conspiracy theories that Christians and non-Christians alike have fallen for include: Maui laser beams, Biden is dead and we're seeing a body double, the Moon landing was faked, the Earth is flat, the Illuminati/Bilderberg Society/Matrix, etc. is secretly controlling the world, Bigfoot, Elvis/Hitler/JFK deaths are faked. Some other information considered to be conspiracy theories but which may be true include: COVID was manufactured and released by China, COVID vaccines may not be safe, Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, Trump had the 2020 election stolen through fraud, Christians/Conservatives/Pro-Lifers are being targeted by government liberals, and there is a "Deep State" of corruption within the U.S. Intelligence Agencies.

In this episode of the Crawford Roundtable Podcast the guys have a lively discussion on two fronts: Part 1 they debate the Georgia case regarding Donald Trump and overturning the 2020 election and in Part 2 they'll discuss the Speaker of the House race.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable we discuss the Israel/Hamas War. Should Israel launch a full-scale ground war in Gaza? Should they take back Gaza? Will the PR tide turn against Israel when images of dead Palestinian children start to emerge? Should Israel loosen their anti-gun laws? What should the U.S. be doing right now? How serious is Biden's open border regarding Hamas and other terrorists infesting the U.S.? Is the stage being set right here in the U.S. for another 9-11? Should the U.S. accept Palestinian refugees?

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the discussion is centered on the latest information available regarding the Israeli terror attack by Hamas, including various pro-Palestinian rallies worldwide. The guys talk about the reported atrocities of Hamas, torturing and raping women and children, beheading Israeli soldiers, beheading babies, and threatening to start to video executing Israeli hostages. We also look at Joe Biden's policies of Iran appeasement, $6 Billion in ransom money, the Afghan withdrawal debacle, weakness on the world stage, and Democrat "Squad" members plus Secretary of State Blinken calling for a "ceasefire". How should Israel respond? With what level of force? How important is it that we support Israel, both Geo-politically and Spiritually? What now?

Was Matt Gaetz's call for the ousting of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House the right thing to do? Is Gaetz a good guy or a villain? What happens going forward? Is there a plan? Will this affect the GOP's chances of holding onto the House?

Episode 215- Is It Time For a Revolution? Are we getting close to the point where America's Founders were when they forcefully rebelled against the authority of Great Britain? If not, what has to happen still that would justify seditious rebellion? How do we know when that line is crossed? Is there ever a time to have this discussion? As Christians and Americans, how much more would have to happen for that time to come?

In Part 1 of this podcast the discussion centers around the $6-Billion Iran payment for 5 U.S. hostages. In the second half of the podcast the guys talk about the state of terrorism in the world after the 22nd anniversary of 9-11. After Biden's disastrous Afghan withdrawal, how dangerous is the rebuilding possibility of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS? What's happening with Biden's open borders and the number of terrorists likely coming into the U.S.? Little is heard lately about terrorist operations; are we clueless as to what Islamic Jihadists may be planning right now, or is that just paranoia?

Episode 213-Part 1: ADF Victories, Part 2: Biden Impeachment Inquiry In the first half of the NCR podcast we are joined by Senior Counsel for Regulatory Litigation at ADF Julie Blake to review some of the recent victories at Alliance Defending Freedom including the FDA lawsuit regarding chemical abortion drugs, as well as what we could be looking at coming up for ADF cases. In the second half of the podcast the guys discuss the Biden impeachment inquiry.

Episode 212-Conspiracy Theories In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast we discuss conspiracy theories. How do we know what's true, what's not, and what constitutes a "conspiracy theory"? Christians are often accused of being gullible and falling for conspiracy theories, is this true? A few of the common conspiracy theories that Christians and non-Christians alike have fallen for include: Maui laser beams, Biden is dead and we're seeing a body-double, the Moon landing was faked, the Earth is flat, the Illuminati/Bilderberg Society/Matrix, etc. secretly control the World, Bigfoot, Elvis/Hitler/JFK deaths are faked.

In this episode of NCR we discuss various topics related to Labor Day. Whatever happened to work ethic? Is it gone? What effect did COVID lockdowns and free government money have on work ethic? Why are so many businesses struggling to find good help? Why are so many content to sit at home and live off the government? Is this a U.S. problem or a worldwide problem? Or is this a false perception, and the American work ethic is still strong? Are Unions good or necessary today? Or do they feed laziness and lack of productivity?

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable Podcast we discuss the First GOP Primary Debate of 2023 and the Strategic Focus of the GOP. How wise is it for Donald Trump to be absent from the GOP debate? What should be the focus of the GOP for 2024? Should they focus on social issues like abortion, transgenderism, religious liberties, parental rights, culture wars, etc.? Or, should they leave those topics alone and focus on more secular issues like the economy, energy independence, border security, crime, trade, foreign policy, etc.?

Episode 209-Part 1: The Maui Wildfires, Part 2: The Latest Trump Indictment In Part 1 of this week's podcast we discuss the Maui Wildfires and some of the conspiracy theories surrounding them. In Part 2 the guys talk about the latest Trump indictment in Georgia with separate charges of disputing the 2020 election and having that interpreted as a RICO violation, on par with Mafia organized crime.

Episode 208-Part 2 of a 2-Part Series: GOP Presidential Candidates For 2024. In this episode we will discuss the other non-Trump GOP presidential candidates for 2024: Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Mike Pence, Senator Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Larry Elder, and others.

The Trump Indictments and Trump Cult Mentality. Are the indictments against former President Donald Trump "trumped up"? Has Free Speech been indicted? Is this just a ploy to convict Trump of something/anything to keep him from running for President of the United States? Do some Trump supporters act in a cult-like fashion when it comes to their support of him?

Episode 206-Part 1 of a 2-Part Series: GOP Presidential Candidates for 2024. In this podcast we will discuss Part 1 of a 2-Part series on the GOP presidential candidates for 2024. With all of the various aspects of Trump, he will take up the first of the two podcasts, then next week will be all the other GOP candidates. In this episode we'll discuss Trump's indictments for: NYC Stormy Daniels payoff bookkeeping records, the classified documents trial (May 2024), and the expected January 6th indictment. What effect will this have on Christian voters and Swing voters? Should Christians dump Trump? Can he beat Biden?

In Part 1 of the podcast we discuss the 303 Creative Victory, with special guest Jake Warner, senior counsel from Alliance Defending Freedom, who was in on the 303 Creative pleadings and was in the U.S. Supreme Court during the oral arguments--what it means, and whether this sets a large enough precedent to protect all other kinds of Christian businesses as well. In Part 2 the guys talk in depth about The Sound of Freedom Movie, whose success is exploding with now over $85 million taken in since its recent release on July 4th. It was the #2 movie in America this last weekend, beaten only by the latest Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie, and will most likely cross $100 million this weekend. Why is this movie doing so well? Why is the mainstream media hating on it so much? What does it say about today's media and Progressive Left that they hate on a movie that exposes child sex trafficking? What about claims that it's just a "Right-Wing, Q-Anon conspiracy" movie? Is this a spiritual battle?
