The U.S is Awash in Communism - Trevor Loudon
Saturday Jun 14, 2025
Saturday Jun 14, 2025
In this episode of the Parresia Podcast, hosted by Dr. Karen Siegemund, president of the American Freedom Alliance, we dive into a thought-provoking discussion with Trevor Loudon, a renowned author and speaker known for exposing the pervasive influence of communism.
Trevor, a frequent collaborator with the AFA, discusses the dangers of communist ideology infiltrating education, culture, and religious institutions, and the urgent need for individual activism to counter its impact.
Trevor Loudon is an author, filmmaker and public speaker from Christchurch, New Zealand. For more than 30 years, he has researched radical left, Marxist and terrorist movements and their covert influence on mainstream politics.
Trevor’s thesis is that what is commonly regarded as mainstream political policy is in fact driven and guided by hidden subversive elements. The Democratic Party’s consistent defunding of the US military, support of open borders, sexualization of children, the climate change agenda, pipeline shutdowns and many other anti-American policies are all consistent with communist goals.
Trevor believes that these forces must be exposed and countered, as America’s continued role as a bastion of freedom is pivotal for the future of western civilization.

The conversation delves into the complexities of the multi-front war facing Israel, highlighting the geopolitical landscape, the role of Qatar, and how this is a battle between good and evil. It was made clear that the issue is less about Israel itself and more about Sharia Supremacism waging war on Western Civilization.
The role of each of the main involved nations was discussed, with particular emphasis on Turkey, Qatar, Syria, and, of course, Iran, and the conversation included analyses related to our national security, the nuances of U.S.-Israel relations, an acknowledgement of the deliberate and well-funded fomenting of Jew-hatred, and a consensus as to how there is a window, right now and rapidly closing, for decisive action to be taken against the Iranian regime.
Each speaker contributed a profound knowledge of the issues - historical and current - and a bold, clear, informed analysis of where Israel stands vis-à-vis those seeking to exterminate her, and how Israel is, indeed, vital to American National Security. (Los Angeles 5/27/25)

They're Your Children: Restoring the Rightful Place of the Family - Sam Sorbo
Wednesday Jun 11, 2025
Wednesday Jun 11, 2025
In this episode of AFA's Parresia podcast, Dr. Karen Siegemund interviews Sam Sorbo, a passionate advocate for homeschooling and parental rights. They discuss the flaws in the current education system, the superiority of homeschooling, and the detrimental effects of present-day schooling on family bonds and child development. Sam emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in education and critiques the moral implications of the current school curriculum. The conversation highlights the need for a shift in educational paradigms to prioritize curiosity, creativity, and family connections over compliance and conformity. In this conversation, Sam and Karen discuss the pervasive influence of nihilism in education, the importance of parental involvement, and the need for educational reform. They emphasize the detrimental effects of current educational practices on children's mental health and advocate for a return to faith, family, and freedom in the educational system. The discussion also highlights Sam's new Coalition Against Government Overreach initiative and the necessity of empowering parents to take control of their children's education.
Sam Sorbo is an education freedom advocate. A successful Hollywood film actor (Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist), producer, and writer, Sam took a step back from her career to homeschool the Sorbos' three small children, and realized that there is more to education than the schools accomplish or even address, these days. She launched School’s Out with Sam Sorbo on EpochTV, hosts The Sam Sorbo Show weekly on YouTube, radio, and podcast, and has written numerous articles and books on education. Most recently, she launched the Underground Education platform to help parents emancipate their families from modern schooling and produced "The Playbook for Home Learning," a 15-video training for parents. Fluent in five languages, Sam speaks internationally on how to “Educate... differently.” "True Faith" is her third collaboration with husband, Kevin Sorbo.
