The loud part was China. We were told China stole 220 million voter files, the largest compromise of election data in history. But how do you steal what is already in the open? Voter registration data in our country is largely public. It can be bought. China was the loud part. The quiet part, the real part, was the voter rolls themselves.

Here is why the rolls matter. Eight states now mail a ballot to every name on the roll, asked for or not: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. When a roll is bloated with people who have died, moved away, or were never eligible, a live ballot goes out the door for each of them. It is a tremendous open door for fraud. And when the Administration asked states to hand over those rolls to be examined, many refused. If your books are clean, you hand them to the auditor.

A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight (Proverbs 11:1).

So the President asked for one concrete thing. Contact your representatives about the Save America Act. SAVE stands for Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, and that is what it does: proof of citizenship to register, photo identification to vote, and that same identification on both ends of a mailed ballot. It takes no one’s vote away. It simply makes sure the voter is a citizen, is eligible, and is who they say they are.

Know who to call. In Gillespie, Kerr, Kendall, Blanco, Bandera, or Comal, your Congressman is Chip Roy, the man who wrote this bill. In Llano, Mason, Kimble, or Menard, it is August Pfluger. From Austin, you have your own. But every Texan shares two Senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, and the Senate is where these bills go to die. Call all of them, and ask them plainly to pass it.

And do not assume a man who already agrees does not need to hear from you. He does. Your voice is what he carries into the room to move the ones who do not. Then call your friends and family in other states, and ask them to call their own senators and representatives. This is not a Texas bill.

This is not about one party. It is about the plumbing. Both sides have run water through the same pipes, and the Save America Act is how you clean them. You clean them because the whole house drinks the water.

Make the calls this week. Be salt and light.

Here is how this strategy directly benefits America:

Keeping Americans Safe from New Threats: China has pumped $400 billion into Iran, funding advanced military missiles that threaten U.S. aircraft carriers and American cities. By aggressively shutting down the sanctioned oil money flowing between China, Iran, and Venezuela, the President is directly neutralizing a massive threat to our safety.

Exposing Superficial Allies: These decisive actions have exposed so-called NATO allies like Spain and the UK, who recently refused to let us use our own military bases in their territory. Revealing these “special relationships” as superficial proves America must stop relying on false friends and instead build our own independent strength.

Bringing Financial Power Back Home: For over a century, foreign entities like the City of London controlled the insurance and financing of global oil shipping. The administration is breaking that foreign grip, bringing those services to the United States. This bold posture is already working: just weeks ago, Russia announced they are considering selling their oil in U.S. dollars again. After the EU removed them from the SWIFT system, this signals a massive return to the Dollar, countering the China/Iran trade in Chinese currency.

Decisive, Legal Action: By coordinating smartly with Israel and classifying military strikes as defensive under UN rules (Article 51), the President legally bypasses politicians in Congress who might try to slow him down.

His ultimate goal is to neutralize the Iranian regime’s threat so the right people can rise up to take their country back. He hopes to see this resolved by July 4th—just in time for America’s 250th anniversary—delivering a safer world and an economically dominant America.

This is not Iraq 2.0.

Iraq involved a massive ground invasion. It dismantled the state to install new leaders. The current campaign is strictly an aerial operation. There is no U.S. ground invasion force.

This is not a traditional regime change. The goal is to eliminate imminent threats. The President directly addressed the Iranian people. He told them their destiny is in their own hands. They themselves need to take back their government. He stated, “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.”

This strike is the final piece of a much larger strategy. The goal is to completely unite the Middle East. For over a century, outside financial empires profited from regional division. Endless managed conflicts kept the area unstable. Now, that old system is being dismantled.

Recent years brought the historic Abraham Accords. Today, a new Board of Peace is building lasting stability. This relies on shared economic development. It is a strategy of "peace from construction."

Trillions in Gulf wealth are now funding the future instead of sitting in overseas banks. Nations are investing in new infrastructure and manufacturing. Gaza is actively being rebuilt. Former regional rivals are forming new partnerships.

The current Iranian leadership was the last obstacle to this new architecture. They continued to fund proxies and threaten global peace. Removing this final roadblock allows the entire region to heal and move forward.

Iran’s retaliatory strikes have actually united neighboring Arab states. Gulf nations are actively deploying air defenses. They are protecting their citizens and U.S. personnel. We are seeing a coordinated regional defense.

As a church, we can find peace. The scale of this conflict is limited. Let us pray for wisdom for our leaders. Let us pray for the safety of civilians. Even in uncertain times, we get to do this important work of trusting God together.

The hypocrisy is evident in the numbers. Deportations reached 1million under Clinton, 3.1 million under Obama and 2 million under Bush—far exceeding recent figures of 600,000 under Trump—yet only now do we see wall-to-wall coverage of armed confrontations. This mirrors the pre-social media imagery of an immigration officer sticking a machine gun in the face of 5 year old Elian Gonzales before the 2000 election, a wicked game played to shift Cuban American votes away from Al Gore. Both parties play this game. Don’t take the bait.

This manufactured noise has stifled the real news out of Davos. We now see that the President’s rhetoric regarding Greenland was actually intended to secure a strategic framework for protecting new artic shipping routes without going through months of European bureaucratic delays.

Did any of them read the “Art of the Deal”?

He also launched his “Board of Peace” at Davos. With 21 nations already signed up to replace UN bloat with a transactional, executive-led order, the President is confident that economic integration and prosperity will solve political hatred.

Pray for his success in this pursuit.

And, as we hunker down during this ice storm, pray for EMS, doctors, nurses, firefighters, police and sheriff departments, electricity repair squads and the people keeping our towns safe and operating.

The Federal Reserve determines much of ordinary American's financial health, based on their unique ability to determine interest rates.

Not many people know that Federal Reserve is not a government agency. Just like Federal Express is not a government agency. It is in fact a collection of commercial banks who's owners are not publicly disclosed.

President Trump has a plan to change that power structure (similar to what President Andrew Jackson did 100 years ago) and return this power back to the US Treasury to free us from global financial interests.

The President will be going into the lions den, Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum in Switzerland his week with his entire team, undoubtedly this will stir the global financial pot.

Our current Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent worked for George Soros early in his career and knows their playbook.

Pray for the President and his team!

Our timelines are now filled with images and videos from the uprising in Iran. Much of this is not actually from Iran, which has been cut off from global communication networks. So be aware of disinformation and propaganda by different parties and players who want to draw us into another war in the Middle East.

Our administration is wisely taking a cautious stance on intervening or supporting any individuals claiming to want to lead the change.

We must pray for new Iranian leaders to rise and sort out their own destiny.

Drawing America into another foreign theater of conflict is only being crafted to distract from the America First policies.

Especially the Military Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned us of, must be held at bay. War only benefits these companies and globals banks.

You will probably hear that "Israel is behind this" and is "controlling" our leadership.

There is no evidence of this.

On the contrary, the Abraham accords that The President architected ,specifically put the responsibility of stability in the region on other Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

And finally, everything you are seeing regarding ICE and illegal and criminal immigration is all geared toward one single goal: the 2026 midterms. Both from Democrats as well as Republicans.

Politicians use these "wedge issues" to do exactly that, split our communities and families based on human emotion.

Remember that a house divided cannot stand. Seek first to understand to be understood and treat those with opposing views with grace.

Put down your screens, and pick up your Bibles!

The response has been close to overwhelming, so I've put together a primer that will get you started.

First make sure you have something to say! It can be as little as giving a rundown of when your local city council or school board is having meetings and the agenda that will be discussed. People know so little about these meetings and they are often announced in the back page of a local paper or on their website.

From here you can have a conversation with a friend or someone who is interested, just make it a conversation, no need to get fancy until you have done a couple of episodes.

Remember that people are always interested in hearing a conversation, make sure you have an email address that people can send feedback to, and read these on the air when applicable or appropriate.

That's literally how No Agenda started 17 years ago, JCD and I just talked on skype (the technology of the time) and recorded it. These early episodes were about 20 minutes and we just discussed what we were reading in the news. Do the same, except keep it local.

Golden rules:

Try to do one show a week and release it on the same day of the week around the same time of the day. People get used to their podcast schedules and will be expecting it. When you miss your window, they may replace that time with something different.

Don't set a length. When you're out of things to say, end it. Your podcast can be as long or short as you have things to talk about.

Collect email addresses and send out a reminder the day before you release a new episode to remind people to be on the lookout. This will be your podcast's most valuable asset.

Technical:

You will need a hosting company. While there are several free options, I strongly recommend against this. Paid for services give you access to live personal help, and you will probably need it as some point. If you are serious, the ~$8 month will be well worth the investment.

There are several hosting companies I can recommend; they make the process easy with use of voice transcription and automatically make recommendations for titles, chapters, summaries and even artwork. This makes your life much easier as you get the hang of things and will want to tweak your descriptions and titles. They are smaller companies and therefore offer more hands-on help when you need it, certainly as you get started. They are there to help you get underway, don't be shy to ask for their help!

I recommend RSS.com and podhome.fm

I strongly advise against doing video! It won't add anything to getting started or building an audience other than additional headaches and work! You also no longer have 'ownership' of your audience if you upload to 'platforms'. Your RSS feed is your direct connection to your listeners, wherever they get their podcasts!

Both of my recommended hosting companies offer you a website that you can point people toward.

If you don't have a microphone or recording gear, rest assured that you can get started with just your smartphone if you don't have any budget, just speak into it closely to remove ambient noise.

But of course you want to get started with a professional sound as soon as you can and this is the minimum gear I can recommend that will achieve outstanding results.

AudioSigma makes a device I have personally tested and helped improve. The PodMobile offers all the processing you will need for two microphones and an external source such as your smartphone or computer. You can play sound files from your computer or even connect it to zoom or any other video or audio conferencing software to talk to remote guests.

There are many recording software applications you can use. By far the most used that also is open source and thus freely available is Audacity

My secret weapon for a GREAT microphone is the FIFINE XLR. It costs $30 but sounds like a $300 mic. You can get it on Amazon:

Headphones are a personal choice, but I like over the ear headphones so there's no feedback. Prices vary wildly. The Sony Studio Headphones are reasonably priced at $95, but again, you can use just about anything that works for you:

This should get you up and running. Of course there is so much more to launching a show and it will depend on many factors. I highly recommend looking at the many lessons Dave Jackson has at his School of Podcasting. It is the perfect resource for beginners.
