    The WallBuilders Show - Lincoln And The Limits Of Power

    Abraham Lincoln can be the hero of American history in one conversation and the villain in the next. We hear the “dictator” claims all the time: suppressed free speech, abused executive power, ignored the Constitution. So we decided to treat a listener’s question seriously and give you something better than talking points: real context, solid sources, and an honest way to defend Lincoln without turning him into a saint. We start by rethinking how we rank presidents in the first place. If you judge leaders only by what they did while in office, you end up measuring crisis management, constitutional decision-making, and the ability to hold the nation together under pressure. That sets the stage for Lincoln, because the Civil War forces questions that don’t show up in normal times, including the controversy around habeas corpus in Maryland and what an emergency does to executive authority. Professor Mark David Hall joins us with practical reading recommendations, including historian Allen Guelzo, and he walks through the strongest version of the critique and the strongest version of the defense. We also talk about how historical revisionism works, when it’s responsible, when it’s ideological, and why even well-known presidents like Eisenhower have been re-evaluated over time. Then we zoom out to what’s happening today, including Hall’s “Religious Liberty in the States” study with First Liberty Institute and which laws actually change the scorecard. If you care about Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, constitutional history, and religious liberty, you’ll come away with clarity and next steps.

    Going Rogue with Lara Logan - REMEMBER THE ALAMO: Don’t Sharia My Texas with Chris Burgard | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Episode 94

    A longtime border filmmaker, Burgard recounts encountering jihadis trafficked by cartels in remote West and South Texas, then confronting Muslim Brotherhood operatives after they infiltrated his California church’s “diversity” program. Burgard argues Texas is the decisive front in the Brotherhood’s stated 100-year plan to undermine America from within. The film confronts Sharia as an incompatible parallel legal system, featuring primary documents, imams in their own words, and testimony from persecuted Nigerian Christians. He and Logan describe a “red-green” alliance of Islamists and Marxists advancing demographic, political, and cultural pressure while critics are branded extremists. The goal is peaceful resistance: force the truth into the open, reject Sharia’s advance, and defend the Constitution before the conflict turns kinetic. The film is available at rememberthealamomovie.com.

    The WallBuilders Show - What Happens When A Nation Can’t Read Its Past

    Cursive is being called a “new language” by students and it says a lot about where our schools have been and where they may finally be heading. We dig into why states are bringing cursive writing back, not as a nostalgia project, but because real life still requires signatures, contracts, and the ability to read original sources. We also talk about the surprising research angle: cursive practice can support fine motor skills, memory, language development, and even help flag learning challenges earlier. Then we jump to a major legal and cultural flashpoint in Texas: a court fight over Ten Commandments posters in public school classrooms tied to Texas Senate Bill 10. We walk through the arguments being used, why a judge denies a temporary hold, and why the history matters more than most headlines admit. From the founding era through classic textbooks, the Ten Commandments have been referenced as part of moral law and civic education, and the debate forces a deeper look at what people mean when they invoke “separation of church and state.” We wrap with a string of timely updates: Glenn Beck’s Ellis Island painting story that spotlights the American dream, a planned rule to end federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender transition medical care for minors, and a new military fitness approach using a waist-to-height ratio standard aimed at readiness and health. If you care about education policy, constitutional history, religious liberty, and protecting kids, there’s a lot here to think about.
