Healthcare Law Faces First Challenge/Johnson & Johnson and the Breast Cancer Link
Air Date: May 10, 2011
Host: Jim Schneider
Guest: Mat Staver and Karen Malec
Show Audio
Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel appeared on the first segment of this edition of Crosstalk after arguing in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in the first legal challenge against the federal healthcare law (Liberty University vs. Geithner).
The crux of the problem in this case centers around the idea that Obamacare would force people, via federal law, into the stream of commerce in order to purchase health insurance.
Mat was followed by Karen Malec, president and co-founder of The Coalition on Abortion/ Breast Cancer. The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women's organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.
Karen appeared on Crosstalk to discuss the decision by the shareholders of Johnson & Johnson to continue selling cancer-causing hormonal contraceptives (birth-control pills). This cancer connection has been shown scientifically by both the World Health Organization as well as the Mayo Clinic. Karen also explains the science behind why abortion increases a woman’s chances of contracting what’s known as “triple-negative” breast cancer.

Is May 21st Judgment Day?
Air Date: May 9, 2011
Host: Vic Eliason
Guest: Jackie Alnor
Show Audio
Jackie Alnor has a BA degree from Texas A&M University in the field of Communication and Media and was trained in apologetics at the former Simon Greenleaf School of Law. She is a veteran researcher, writer, activist, and defender of the faith and hosts a weekly radio program on the Rapture Ready Radio network called the Apostasy Alert. She is the author of the book, The Fleecing of Christianity and her testimony is included in the book, On the Wings of Grace, an anthology of ex-Catholics edited by former priest Richard Bennett. She has been monitoring, taping, and documenting religious programming since the 1980’s and her clips have been used by many apologetics ministries in many video exposes.
In 1992, religious broadcaster Harold Camping published a book titled 1994? in which he set the date for the Lord's return for September 6, 1994. Obviously that date-setting effort failed so now in his latest book, Time Has An End, he has set a new "absolute" date of May 21, 2011. Unfortunately, his latest end-times message is garnering secular press which merely sets Christianity and prophecy up once again for ridicule by the mainstream press.
Despite the fact that his 1994 failure has shown Camping to be a false prophet, he has convinced many people of the validity of his new date. This is due to the great exposure he’s able to give such efforts through his 150 station Family Radio Network, a network that Jackie claims is now 65 million dollars in debt. His followers have also erected billboards across the U.S., some have emblazoned their cars with the message, while others are handing out T-shirts and bumper stickers.
Join Jackie and Vic as they explore Harold Camping’s bizarre world of numerology/theology and what the fallout might be when this date also fails.

Host: Vic Eliason
Guest: None
Show Audio
On this official National Day of Prayer in the United States, Vic opened the program by reading a prayer by the Honorary Chairperson of the National Day of Prayer, Joni Eareckson Tada.
The history of prayer for our nation, and the record of God's protection of our nation, especially in times of war, was discussed. In addition, the need to pray not only for our nation, but for our churches and for Christian ministries, who are fighting a spiritual battle. Examples of God providing for ministries that are faithfully spreading the Gospel were given. Prayers that the Holy Spirit will convict people of their sin and their need for Christ, and that Christians will be more bold in sharing the Gospel, were also mentioned.
The phone lines were then opened for listeners to comment on prayer--including the need for prayer, answers to prayer, and Scriptures calling on believers to pray, were among the comments shared.

The King James Bible Anniversary: 400 Years of Beauty and Influence
Air Date: May 4, 2011
Host: Ingrid Schlueter
Guest: None
Show Audio
This week marks the 400th anniversary of the first publishing--between May 2 and May 5, 1611--of the Bible translation now known as the King James Version. This Bible has had a profound influence on the English-speaking world during these four centuries, contributing to language, customs, idioms, societal norms, and governments. In addition, as the most published book during that same time period, it has reached millions with the Word of God, exquisitely presented, which continues to have the power through the Holy Spirit to change the lives of its readers and bring many to Christ.
To mark this occasion, Ingrid opened the phone lines and invited listeners to call in during the entire program, and to read or recite their favorite Bible passages from the King James Version of the Bible.

Force is the Left Hand of Entitlement
Air Date: May 3, 2011
Host: Vic Eliason
Guest: Jane Orient
Show Audio
Dr. Jane Orient, MD, is the Executive Director of Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), a voice for patients’ and physicians’ independence since 1943. She has practiced general internal medicine since 1981. Dr. Orient is the author of the book, YOUR Doctor Is Not In: Healthy Skepticism about National Health Care.
The AAPS is the only national medical association to go to court to fight implementation of the recently passed HealthCare law, also called “Obamacare”. It is Dr. Orient’s position that Obamacare “will increase individual health insurance costs, and if the federal government puts price controls on the premiums, the companies will simply have to go out of business. Promises are made, but the Plan will deliver higher costs, more hassles, fewer choices, less innovation, and less patient care.”
A big part of the problem is the perception that the government is providing free or very inexpensive healthcare. Other programs that have promised government payment of health costs, including Medicare, have resulted in many more people going for treatment for even minor ailments, thus clogging the system. In addition, the added regulations and paperwork that accompany any government program increase costs and lower the efficiency of providing the service.
Some states are already working to pass laws to make it illegal to require someone to purchase health insurance in those states, and some are seeking to nullify the entire national health care plan within their borders.
Callers gave examples the kinds of problems described, and also asked about health care for illegal aliens, those who are out of work, and those who make too much money for Medicaid, but not enough to purchase health insurance.
