Join Mark and I as we recap the events of this past week. A historic week that all nations and peoples around the globe will remember for decades to come.

For over 5 decades the world coward to a boastful, radical regime that threatened neighbors, both near and far, with nuclear missile strikes, "death to America," and "death to Israel."

But on the 12th day, Iran was found to be nothing more than a paper tiger.

For 50 years nations avoided conflict with Iran. World leaders feared consequences.

But the imminent threat of WW3 with nuclear Iran ended in 12 days. And on the 13th day the World woke up to a different Middle-east. Everything had changed, because of the courage and leadership of a few great leaders.

Here are just a few of the highlights:

- Israeli Military Might was on full display

- US Military Strength and Capability was demonstrated to the whole world

- 15 years plus in the strategic planning and tactical details

- American Competence and US might on display

- Not a bullet fired at our birds

- Not one lost plane

- Not one injured American

- Not a single pair of US boots soiled

Have you heard? These three simple words grabs attention better than most when starting a discussion. We humans love…dare I say…crave, gossip or more mildly stated, are very open to new intel. We love a good story.

The kids today have an acronym for this…it called FOMO…the Fear Of Missing Out, and none of us want to miss out on something.

If I said, “danger Will Robinson” these three words would suggest a WARNING might follow. If I said “back off Jack,” you might perceive it as a THREAT. And if I said “Make America Great Again,” many would be triggered and their TDS would flare up and their face would turn red as their veins begin to pop out of their head.

But a question like “have you heard,” is a harmless one, not a threat or a warning…but a question that is most often, well received (without insight or context as to what might follow).

My objective is to share a few “communication strategies” or techniques to help us all communicate better by being more thoughtful and prepared as we engage with people (both strangers or casual acquaintances and with those we actually know a bit better).

In a word this show is about TESTIFYING. But don’t let that word scare you. I’m not talking about WITNESSING or PREACHING to your neighbor or trying to convert the struggling stranger to a Faith worthy of following.

I’m talking about farming. You heard me right…FARMING. The simple, but intentional, act of planting a seed of hope or encouragement, a word of peace or a display of sincere compassion…that sticks with people…long after the discussion or encounter is over.

Image what the apostles struggled with when they finally ventured out into the many nations to begin their ministry. There was no advanced marketing or promotion campaign announcing their “coming soon” arrival. There was no institution behind the scenes supporting them, no handouts or preprinted leaflets…to pass out once they got there. It was just them. At first, maybe as a group…but later…they went out two by two…and even later…each took on their own region or nation.

They entered a strangle land, with little to no knowledge of the nations or regions they would visit to spread the word of Christs life, death and resurrection. They would have had little insight into the faiths, beliefs, laws, and customs of the many people they would be engaging with. Imagine heading to a distant land, far from Jerusalem or Galilee and engaging with a total stranger and say…”Have You Heard…of Jesus the Christ from Galilee?”

What a brilliant way to open a conversation…with three simple words…”Have you heard?”

They didn’t “spread” the word with opening statements like “Repent you filthy Sinner” or “you’re all going to hell because you don’t know Jesus.”

They weren’t preaching repentance. They were sharing Good News.

In a word they were “testifying.” Simply telling a story of an incredible man, teacher and healer of men. Today we might describe him as a major Influencer on social media.

But how many total strangers would have been moved to ponder their lot in life if the story was only about a wise and insightful rabbi or teacher from some distant land?

I’m guessing it was the stories of healings, miracle’s and the personal eye witness accounts of these supernatural events that were most rememberable to listeners, total strangers.

YOUR GIFT is YOUR STORY! YOUR MESS can be YOUR MESSAGE. And it doesn’t have to be long or all inclusive.

Remember, initially we are simply FARMING. Simply dropping seeds. But what kind of seeds are we planting? That depends on the soil. Does it get a lot of moisture or full sun? So there’s a little bit of THOUGHT put in to HOW you will perform your work.

Today we will present and discuss a boat load of questions regarding the Israel / Iran war. You do not want to miss this episode...especially the last 10 minutes of the show.

Does Mark and Dave think we should drop the MOAB on the nuclear facility?

How does this look for the Suni/Shia conflict?

Is Iran really our enemy? What have they done to us?

What are the consequences? Will Iran attack US troops in the desert?

What might this mean for terror cells in America?

Global economic effects like oil prices? All out kinetic war? Is nuclear war possible? Could this be another never-ending war far away (like Iraq)? How is this situation different?

Could Iran really mount any kind of meaningful response? How much of a paper tiger is Iran?

Why haven't the proxies returned fire?

Victor David Harris says, "If the Ayatollah survives and the nuclear program is intact or repairable, Operation Rising Lion will be a failure." It's not enough to destroy their weapons. If there is going to be forever peace, the leaders of the ideology (the mullahs) must be wiped out. That's the root of the problem, the Shiite ideology.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintained that the Jewish State possesses the capability to strike all of Iran’s nuclear installations — including the highly fortified Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, located “half a mile beneath a mountain” — without offensive U.S. intervention.

In an article from Jennifer Griffin of Fox News…she’s a national security correspondent…she writes…

"President Donald Trump came back into office promising no new wars. So far, he’s kept that promise. But he’s also left much of Washington — and many of America’s allies — confused by a series of rapid, unexpected moves across the Middle East."

"In just a few months, Trump has reopened backchannels with Iran, then turned around and threatened its regime with collapse. He’s kept Israel at arm’s length — skipping it on his regional tour — before signaling support once again. He lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria’s Islamist leader, a figure long treated as untouchable in Washington. And he made headlines by hosting Pakistan’s top general at the White House, even as India publicly objected."

"For those watching closely, it’s been hard to pin down a clear doctrine. Critics see improvisation — sometimes even contradiction."

"But step back, and a pattern begins to emerge. It’s not about ideology, democracy promotion, or traditional alliances. It’s about access. Geography. Trade."

"More specifically, it may be about restarting a long-stalled infrastructure project meant to bypass China — and put the United States back at the center of a strategic economic corridor stretching from India to Europe."

"The project is called the India–Middle East–Europe Corridor, or IMEC. Most Americans have never heard of it. It was launched in 2023 at the G20 summit in New Delhi, as a joint initiative among the U.S., India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the European Union. Its goal? To build a modern infrastructure link connecting South Asia to Europe — without passing through Chinese territory or relying on Chinese capital. "

"IMEC’s vision is bold but simple: Indian goods would travel west via rail and ports through the Gulf, across Israel, and on to European markets. Along the way, the corridor would connect not just trade routes, but energy pipelines, digital cables, and logistics hubs. It would be the first serious alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative — a way for the U.S. and its partners to build influence without boots on the ground."

Remember the summer of Love in 2020 when disgruntled college students, BLM and Antifa held “peaceful protests,” according to left leaning media, in the streets while buildings behind the field reporter were engulfed in flames? Remember, Portland, OR and the new city of Chaz? Over 2 Billion in damages!

Well here we go again. It started 7 days ago in Los Angeles and has already spread to other sanctuary cities like, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago and Denver. One report said 21 cities are planning more chaos over the weekend. The Chicago Mayor Brown urged people in Chicago to “resist.” No reference to peacefully let your voices be heard…but RESIST! This guy should be arrested for insurrection!

LA history is repeating itself. 1992 they had the Rodney King Riots…also out of control and violent.

Here’s what’s different. This time it’s a bonafide invasion and insurrection lead mostly by illegal invaders of our border. Theses are not disgruntled college kids….these are bonafide criminals and noncitizens…combatants from foreign countries that are being feed and funded by the radical left…from NGOs, Soros, and institutions we’ve funded with our tax dollars and encouraged by radical left politicians that continue to promote the chaos.

One Day Closer Solutions:

When rioters break into a department store, Apple Store, a pharmacy, a Nike store or whatever, instead of trying to tackle the perpetrators as they exit the store, law enforcement should chain the exits shut, locking the guilty inside the store. Use the ventilation system to administer a sleeping agent. Once the perpetrators are fast asleep, THEN enter the facility, take pictures of the perps with their stolen goods as evidence, then zip tie every one of them and when they wake up, they find them selves in Gitmo!

For those unruly in the street, after multiple warnings to disburse, use bull dozers to coral them and again drop a sleeping agent over the crowd instead of using flash bangs or tear gas. Again, when they wake up, they’ll be in Gitmo.

These are two safe and human solutions to avoid escalation in the street, is safer for our law enforcement and once housed at Gitmo, it makes it easier to separate the chaft from the tarnished wheat.

These uprising need to be stopped yesterday…we can’t afford to take all summer to “work this out” on live TV!

But today, I’m asking the question, Can we be happy (defined in my mind as joyfully content) standing on the phrase “in Gods Timing.” Said differently, when we become frustrated…waiting for prayers to be answered or maybe confirmation from God that we ARE on the right track…even though we see little progress…and become more discontent with “Gods Timing,” WHAT are we to do with that? WHY does it seem sometimes as though God’s POWER is absent in our lives?

Is it possible to find happiness, peace, contentment, joy and fulfillment in Gods Timing? This “in Gods Timing” phrase is a tricky subject.

Why is it we tend to be the happiest only in the successes, the promotions, the raises and accomplishments…when we’ve reached the summit, if you will…but struggle to stay fully content and even exuberant in the valleys.

Do we really need a miracle everyday to stay euphorically high (that state of intense excitement and happiness), content, engaged and motivated?

Why is it often difficult to remain euphoric between the high points in our lives? When life is on auto pilot if you will, or on cruise control, boring and mundane?

I ask this question too many times in my own life…and often voice my frustration to God, not “WITH GOD” but certainly “TO GOD.” “I’m doing my part…I’m executing my calling the best I know how…so why are you opting not to increase it…to demonstrate that you are indeed behind this initiative…confirm that I’m on the right path…doing the right thing”?

Personally, I think it’s okay to have these direct and blunt discussions with God. Especially, when our objective is NOT to blame God or simply complain without cause…but when we are sincerely asking for clarity, confirmation and engagement. When we are seriously seeking direction, feedback and input, I think God is okay (maybe the better word would be tolerant) with us in our quest for direction.

Join me today as we examine this question in great detail.

I thought it might be fun listen to a saga tale riddled with intrigue, conflict, struggle, as well as, insight, wisdom and epic life lessons, the epic tale of Captain Hook vs Peter Pan.

Released in 1991, Hook is an American fantasy adventure firm, directed by Stephen Spielberg. It stars Robin Williams as Peter Pan, Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell, and Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy.

The movie opens with a visual of an adult Peter Pan (Peter Banning), who has forgotten his childhood due to his high-powered career as a corporate takeover lawyer. As an adult, Banning is a stressed out, over worked, miserable shell of a man that is trapped in the endless pursuit of something…that cannot be secured while enslaved to the trappings of his career.

But when his old archenemy, Captain Hook, kidnaps his children, Banning must return to Neverland to save them.

Tinker Bell appears to Banning, reminds him of who he was, sprinkles him with Pixie Dust and carries him away to Neverland, a mystical island accessible by flying past the "second star to the right, and straight on till morning".

When he awakes from the journey, he finds himself completely out of place, still dressed in his tux from the night before, surrounded by pirates. His daughter Maggie is suspended in a cage from the main mass, as Captain Hook boasts that he has captured Peter Pans kids.

Banning screams out…”those are my kids!” Hook can’t believe his eyes. “You’re not Peter Pan!” But Tinker Bell confronts Hook and negotiates a three day reprieve to get Banning (Peter Pan) back into shape and prepared for the final battle between Hook and Pan.

She takes him to the hideout of the Lost Boys and explains to the Lost Boys that this really is the PAN…that they need to rally and get him in shape for the battle in three days!

The Lost Boys will have to “see” that their former leader PAN is somewhere inside this “grumpy old grampa man.” They’ll need to teach him again how to “crow” and how to “fly.” They’ll need to help him “imagine” the possibilities first, and help him find his “Happy Thoughts.”

Without his “happy thoughts” Pan will never be able to “fly” and without “flight” he’ll never prevail over Hook.

So what do we glean from this story?

In the midst of doing life, things happen. Disasters come. Trials manifest out of thin air often during our most vulnerable times…when our plate is already full, when we are already jugging more than we can handle and when we least expect it.

This describes Banning’s situation to a tee.

These challenges, whatever they may be, affect everyone around you…your souse, your kids, your co-workers, and friends. Nonetheless…we have no choice but to accept the situation, adjust accordingly and engage.

There will be characters in the midst of the drama that are FOR you…they know WHO YOU ARE…and they know WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF (like Granny Wendy, Tinker Bell and eventually the Lost Boys). They BELIEVE in you…even when you don’t believe in yourself.

Pans strength didn’t come from losing weight in three days or from his muscles or physical abilities. It was his mental strength…his renewed perspective of WHO HE WAS long ago and WHAT COULD BE AGIAN…SIMPLY BY CHANGING HIS ATTITUDE…to BELIEVE IN HAPPINESS and then PURSUE TO THE END…that made PETER PAN…PAN THE MAN!

Who was Granny Wendy? Could Granny Wendy have represented God the creator, who cared for all the orphans? Who encouraged them day and night?

And who was Peter Pan? Was he “lost” as the leader of the Lost Boys many years prior to growing up, or did he loose his way in his adult years?

Hopefully you are at least aware on news stories questioning Joe Biden’s use of the AutoPen which is an auto signature, meaning anyone with access to this app, could sign for Joe on Executive Orders, Legislation, Pardons or on any correspondence, both physical or digital.

The reporting of this app raised a host of legitimate questions.

Initially the questions were simply inquisitive in nature but built up to be more invasive as to who was authorized to use this app on Joe’s behalf?

Should we know who this person was or group of people were? Does this auto signature require verification from a notary to ensure there’s no monkey business going on? Was his health and handwriting so bad that he simply couldn't sign these documents himself or was there a more sinister plan in motion?

Chris Salcedo, host of the Chris Salcedo Show on NEWSMAX interviewed a gentlemen the other day that has the street cred, if you will, to shed some light on this topic…and did just that on National TV to over 20 million viewers of the NEWSMAX family.

His name is Mike McCormick, who has served as the White House Stenographer for THREE PRESIDENTS. So one would think Mr. McCormick might have the credentials and first-hand insight into who might have had access to the controls behind the curtain in the Land of Oz.

Real names assigned to a cast of characters in this tragic tale that may have, collaboratively or individually, played a significant role in a Cabal to mislead the American people.

Wikipedia defines a cabal as "a group of people who are united in some close design, usually to promote their private views or interests in an ideology, a state, or another community, often by intrigue and usually without the knowledge of those who are outside their group."

McCormick makes the bold accusation that RON KLAIN was the master ORCHESTRATOR behind the "PLAN-DEMIC" starting back in 2011. According to McCormick, KLAIN learned how to politicize pandemics in 2014 and launched this plan in 2019, unleashing a global pandemic on the world just to get Joe into the White House.

Now that’s a bonafide conspiracy theory on steroids…that if even partially accurate…would serve as the cherry on top of this Great American CON the left have been serving up over the past 8 plus years.

Consider for a moment the thought process behind the curtain. They’ve researched how to deploy a pandemic and then they wait. When Trump takes office in his first term the fuse is lit. They have predicted what Trump might do and seize the opportunity to pin the Pandemic on Trump, by enlisting Dr. Science Fauci to fan the fuse affecting markets around the global and the behavior and fears of billions…all with one goal in mind…pin the pandemic on Trump and open up a pathway for Joe to campaign from his basement…and eventually…seat Biden (and his cabal) as the 46th administration.

Once in, we'll hide Biden’s frailties, and as his mental state deteriorates, we can deploy the AutoPen with easy. No one will pick on an elderly man and the media will run cover as we manage the levers behind the curtain.

If that scenario of imagination isn't scary enough consider this. They INTENDED TO RUN JOE FOR A SECOND TERM! They had hoped that they could cover it up until he was safely secured in his second term…then they would leak out the prognosis of Joes cancer and simply slip Kamala into the office. The Cabal would run the show for Kamala…without a fight.

You decide. Is this just a conspiracy theory or will evidence come forth that proves it true…and if the later…what should be the punishment for those that hatched such a diabolical plan?
