    Going Rogue with Lara Logan - WAR & BETRAYAL: INSIDE THE CIA RESPONSE TO 9/11 with Gary Berntsenn | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Ep 98

    Former CIA operations officer and leader of the Jawbreaker team during the early Afghanistan war. Gary shares firsthand accounts of post-9/11 operations, the hunt for bin Laden at Tora Bora, and the unprecedented CIA-led military campaign. They discuss missed opportunities, Pakistani duplicity, and the complex Afghan resistance. The conversation concludes with sharp criticism of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which Gary calls America's greatest military failure, and a call for Americans to honor the sacrifices made in defense of freedom.

    The WallBuilders Show - Never Forget With Real Context

    “Never forget” sounds strong until you realize how many people no longer know what they’re supposed to remember. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we talk honestly about national memory, gratitude for the men and women who served, and why remembering can’t be reduced to a yearly moment of silence. If we forget the facts, we also forget the stakes and that vacuum always gets filled with a new story. We also dig into the real-world battle over what gets taught to students, including the controversy in Texas social studies standards about describing 9/11 as an attack by radical Islam. When public language gets edited for comfort, public understanding gets weaker, and that shows up fast in debates about Sharia law, constitutional freedom, and whether Americans still recognize the threats that target a free society. Then we pivot to some Good News Friday encouragement from the convention, including a powerful reminder of how stories shape courage. We share a standout moment from Speaker Mike Johnson about John Quincy Adams and the simple, stubborn virtue behind lasting reform: “Duty is ours, results are God’s.” We close with practical moral clarity for Christians who feel torn in elections, focusing less on personalities and more on principles and policies that either restrain evil or promote it. Subscribe for more biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective, share this with a friend who cares about truth and freedom, and leave a review that tells us what topic you want us to tackle next.

    The WallBuilders Show - Charlie Kirk Shows Why A Free Society Needs God

    A year after losing Charlie Kirk, we stop and remember what made him more than a headline or a political organizer: a man who increasingly aimed at the heart. We play a powerful montage of Charlie speaking plainly about courage, sin, salvation, and why he believed a free society can’t last without faith in God. It’s an honest look at the spiritual shift he was making, and why his message keeps discipling people long after his passing. From there, we pivot into real-time Republican National Convention analysis and the mechanics of political messaging. We talk about how the night’s theme wasn’t scattered talking points, but a disciplined drumbeat: “radical” and “extreme,” backed by specific quotes, receipts, and candidates’ own words. We share standout convention clips, including Tim Scott’s rapid-fire contrast on security, voter ID, and taxes, plus Brandon Gill’s sharp argument for American heritage and why apologizing for it doesn’t win the culture. We also unpack the politics of personality versus policy, including Trump’s humor-heavy moments and a memorable Ken Paxton endorsement that lands on one point: outcomes matter. We close with a clear Christian civic takeaway: voting is stewardship, and we have a duty to show up, think strategically, and measure leaders by what their policies will do to freedom, faith, and the next generation.

    The WallBuilders Show - A Midterm Convention Wake-Up Call - with Chad Connelly

    A midterm election can be won or lost long before Election Day, and we’re feeling that pressure from the floor of a first-ever midterm Republican convention in Dallas Fort Worth. We talk about why motivation can sag when a party gets complacent, why post-primary infighting lingers in key states, and why national polls can scare you into either panic or passivity. Chad Connelly joins us to share what he’s seeing on the ground through Faith Wins: pastors meeting with candidates, congregations waking up to the stakes, and real conversations about socialism, cultural issues, and the moral direction of the country. We also wrestle with the leadership gap many voters feel, including the sense that some elected officials used to get “wake up” texts from influential voices like Charlie Kirk and now the responsibility shifts to everyday citizens, churches, and grassroots organizations. We dig into what a convention like this can actually produce when the mainstream media won’t carry it: tight policy one-liners, targeted “boutique” messages for specific districts, and shareable clips that regular people can spread faster than any campaign ad buy. The bottom line is simple: Christians are often the margin in close races, and turnout changes outcomes. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people find these conversations. What’s the one issue that would actually get the most people in your circle to vote?
