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)

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.
