We open this episode of The Dawn Stensland Show with guest host Kathy Barnett and Pastor Dr. William Devlin breaking down the geopolitical and spiritual battles facing America and the world. Pastor Devlin shares firsthand accounts from his 57 trips to Cuba, detailing how decades of socialism, communism, and atheism have turned the island into a ghost town where millions are fleeing for survival. We discuss the stark reality of what happens when a nation abandons freedom, comparing Cuba’s collapse to the dangerous push for socialist policies right here at home.
The crew dives into the frontline work Pastor Devlin leads through his organizations, Redeem and Widows and Orphans. From delivering tons of rice to persecuted Christians in Gaza and India to ministering inside Iraqi refugee camps, Pastor Devlin exposes the brutal persecution of religious minorities in the Middle East. We react to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s powerful speech on Western civilization, arguing that America must stop apologizing for its greatness, reject the agenda of self-loathing, and stand firm as the ultimate beacon of freedom and the rule of law.
We also tackle the growing crisis of Somali youth gang violence in the Minneapolis suburbs and the total breakdown of accountability among local leaders. We react to local Somali officials blaming gun availability rather than addressing gang culture, while woke prosecutors deny the existence of the problem altogether. We confront the push for open borders and the refusal to demand assimilation, arguing that if America imports the third world without instilling American values, we will destroy the very fabric of our nation.
