On Point of View today, Kerby is joined by Gary Bauer, president of American Values. They will take a look at some of the stories in the news today.
After leaving the Reagan White House, Bauer became President of the Family Research Council and a Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family.
Bauer took his pro-family, pro-life message across the country during the 2000 Republican presidential primaries and debates.
Today, Bauer serves as Chairman of Campaign for Working Families PAC, dedicated to electing conservative candidates to Congress, and as President of American Values, an educational non-profit organization. He writes a weekly column at Human Events and co-hosts a weekend talk show on Sirius/XM Radio.
In 1973, Bauer received his law degree from Georgetown Law School in Washington, D.C. Gary is married to Carol, and lives in Virginia. They have three grown children.
President Trump told world leaders, "As president of the United States, I will always put America first. Just like you, as the leaders of your countries, will always and should always put your countries first."
He issued a strong condemnation of North Korea's human rights abuses, including the death of Otto Warmbier. Then he warned that if Kim Jong-un forces a confrontation with the U.S. or our allies, "we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime."
Next, President Trump turned his attention to Iran, a regime that "speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to America, destruction to Israel, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room." Trump declared that the Islamic Republic was a "an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos." Trump also vowed to crush the "vile and sinister ideology" of "radical Islamic terrorism."
Predictably, the Handmaid's Tale was the big winner of the night. The series is based on a book written by a Canadian author who was terrified by Ronald Reagan's election. Progressives have seized on its anti-Christian dystopian message as a warning for our day, as if women are at risk of being enslaved in Donald Trump's America.
As I pointed out earlier this year, the hell described in the Handmaid's Tale is real for many women -- in the Islamic world. But Hollywood's so-called "progressives" refuse to confront real misogyny where it exists. Instead, they pretend that they are somehow under siege because Planned Parenthood's funding may be at risk.
DACA grants amnesty to 800,000 people brought to the U.S. as youth. The protesters want the government to give legal status to all 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.
DACA allows illegal immigrants brought to the country before age 16 to remain in the country with two-year permits that allow them to work or go to school.
