Copious information on the program today. Seat belts on! Also, remember to set your clocks back this weekend.

Congress passed a hate crimes law this week. Contrary to what some on the right have been saying, it doesn't restrict free speech. However, there is an ominous trend where a hate accusation is used as a political weapon to shut down debate rather than dealing with facts. Bob Unruh from Worldnetdaily (www.wnd.com) is first up today.

Then we revisit the raid on the Manna Storehouse private food coop, which took place in Ohio and the large lawsuit which has now followed. The media are avoiding this story but it is important in determining what people can do to raise their own food. David "Augie" Michael, co-director of Ohio Connections to Natural Food and Health (www.wholefoodusa.wordpress.com) joins us.

More and more state legislators around the country believe the federal government is running financially out of control and that it will take action on the part of state legislators -- not congressmen -- to stop that. Republican Washington State Representative and attorney Matt Shea (www.tenthamendmentcenter.com) joins us for this part of the program.

Finally, as the situation in Iran grinds forward, there's a new novel by retired intelligence officer Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, "The War After Armageddon," which addresses what might happen after such a Middle East conflict.

John's boralogue details the "great disconnect" between lawmakers and their constituents concerning whether or not we have an economic recovery.

Today's program forecasts the next brewing global financial crisis by unifying several issues: the causes of our current crisis, those who got us into it, and what they're doing now, the proposed Copenhagen global warming treaty, and the fact lawmakers keep spending and spending but expect to balance all of this on the back of Joe the Taxpayer, who is already tax tapped out.

Today's program pulls from numerous news clips including a PBS "Frontline" documentary and a speech by global warming skeptic, Sir Christopher Monckton.

At the end we'll interview tax expert Dom Golio, author of "Bankrupting Joe the Taxpayer with No One to Bail Him Out."

You think this description is confusing? Just imagine how confusing it was trying to put it together and make sense of it all!

We'll do a lot of news stories during today's program.

Since the United States seems so determined to trade its freedom for socialism, perhaps we'd better look at the philosophic and historic origins of that economic theory, beginning with Karl Marx and working forward in a time line. That way we know at least we know what the bottom looks like when we bottom out. Dr. Dave Noebel, (www.summit.org) author of "Understanding the Times," returns to the program.

Then we'll pick up the thread on the papacy's connections to globalism, which we began last week, moving towards a look at the American church's surprising connection to socialist organizations.

John's boralogue explains to Joe the Taxpayer why he isn't recovering during so-called recovery. Politicians are speaking with forked tongue about helping Joe, while telling Joe they feel his pain, at the same time they're piling on taxes and fees guaranteed to increase his pain. Remember, when politicians talk about economic recovery, they're talking about their budget recovery, not your recovery.

John starts the program with an extended boralogue explaining what is currently happening with the dollar, and looks toward its ultimate fate.

Then we move to a thread we seem to have opened last week by hearing from young people, who are doing something about problems in the world today. High school junior Amie Anstett explains her efforts to promote awareness of slavery worldwide.

We jump from that to hear about difficulties of being a Christian in Pakistan, especially given the mob murders of a number of them a few weeks ago. Jacob Lee has just returned from that country.

Finally we move to the main subject of today's program, with a history of the papacy's attitude toward global government, starting with Pope Pius IX and moving forward to Pope Benedict XVI. Carl Teichrib from www.forcingchange.org joins us.

A very busy potpourri show today.

John's boralogue kicks off with clips from World Bank President Robert Zoellick's speech this week about the move toward a new global currency.

Then Joe Baker (www.cupcakesforlife.com) appears briefly to premier cupcakes-for-life day for pro-life young people around the country.

President Obama says kids aren't spending enough time in school, so we need to shorten vacation time. Long school days have been a goal of educrats for several decades as part of their concept of the womb-to-tomb indoctrination toward which education has been heading. It isn't the president's idea. Sarah Leslie (www.deliberatedumbingdown.com) explains why educrats think we need longer school hours and days.

Tax-funded abortions have been a hotly-debated issue for years. It raised its head once again in the healthcare debate. Kristan Hawkins from Students for Life (www.studentsforlife.org) takes the fourth segment of the program to look at the implication of abortion in the healthcare debate.

There's another report being sent to law enforcement agencies labeling conservatives and libertarians as potentially dangerous terrorists. Bob Unruh from Worldnetdaily (www.wnd.com) discusses the latest effort to paint everyone on the right as extreme.

John rounds out the program with important news items you might have missed.
