- As the transgender debate continues to unfold, some of the most ignored voices are the men and women who once identified as transgender before walking away from the lifestyle.

For this month’s “Higher Ground” event, Billy Hallowell is sitting down with two such individuals: Walt Heyer and Laura Perry Smalts.

- Faith and Freedom Are Tied at the Hip
You can't have freedom -- true freedom -- without faith. It's no accident that communist countries outright discourage their citizens from practicing religion. It's no coincidence that dictatorial nations have governments filled with politicians who actively promote atheism. The reason? Communists and Marxists and collectivists can't rule with their iron fists over people who know they're not the final authorities. Scott Morrison, former prime minister of Australia, discusses how his faith emboldened and sustained him during his years of politics.

- After Israel invaded Lebanon in June 1982, President Ronald Reagan grew infuriated by Israel's siege of Beirut because of thousands of civilian casualties. His administration cut off some arms shipments to Israel, and Reagan himself tore into Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to convince him to withdraw. Today, President Joseph Biden is being criticized for failing to effectively exert U.S. pressure on Israel to curb its campaign in Gaza to protect Palestinian civilians and avoid provoking a wider Middle Eastern war. In this episode, historian Salim Yaqub, an expert on U.S. foreign relations and the Middle East, delves into the analogy between Reagan in 1982 and Biden in 2024.

- Date posted

- Description
- President Joe Biden is not doing Israel a favor by saying his administration will not support an IDF counterattack against Iran. He's not doing America, the West or the civilized world a favor, either. Rather, he's giving Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and the evil forces of terror a hat tip to the notion that America is going to stand by and do nothing -- and that's all it takes to stir the pot. Evil will exploit America's weakness. Stay tuned for more attacks against Israel; more unrest in the Middle East; more terror, more chaos, more mayhem and more security risks to the Jewish state as well as to America and the West. Gol Kalev, author of "Judaism 3.0," and an Israel-based columnist, talks about the recent Iran attacks on his country and what it means for the security of the free world.
