The government shutdown is seen as a political battle but it does point to several more pressing issues.  In this week's boralogue, John looks at the future of the U.S. economy, the ineffectual nature of Congress, and the government problem of high taxation.  These are important issues to discuss, but the mainstream media insists on perpetuating their own narrative, which deprives the public of accurate information.

American culture has served this country well for more than two centuries but it is always under attack and could eventually be destroyed.  We replay an interview from 2010 that John had with Richard Lamm (www.du.edu/korbel/ipps), former Governor of Colorado, who listed the things he would do if he wanted to destroy America.  Eight years later, we see these things playing out.

A one-world government has long been the plan for globalists and the UN, but do church leaders understand this?  Ken Ortize (www.calvaryspokane.com), Lead Pastor at Calvary Spokane, joins us to give a pastor's point of view on globalism and how those policies could fit with Biblical prophecy.   

John and Producer Steve finish the program this week discussing the media's malfeasance in two separate stories: one about supposed racism by Catholic high school boys and one about supposed impeachable offenses by President Trump. Both of these stories were almost completely false and caused such outrage for, as it turns out, no reason at all.

John’s quote of the week:    

"Two worldviews are vying for control of this country: one that works, that's the traditional one, and one that has been tried in many other places – the Soviet Union, Communist China – and it doesn't work.  Those are the two that are vying for control and the process is to undermine who we are and what we are."
