Dr. Richard Schmidt is the Pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and the founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He is an author. He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement.

Dr. Neal Jackson is the Pastor of Beulah Baptist Church in Bennett, NC and a North Carolina Legislator representing the 78th House District.

The program opened with breaking news from this morning that a federal judge in Florida dismissed the criminal classified documents case that was brought against Donald J. Trump.

Jim interviewed Schmidt during the first half regarding security at the RNC, Schmidt’s personal reaction to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the challenges of open air venues, and who might be at fault for the security failure at Trump’s rally. Schmidt’s bottom line through all of these issues unfolding is that everyone needs Jesus Christ.

Jim played two audio clips from rally attendees who shared their first-hand accounts of what happened. These witnesses both describe seeing a man on a roof with a rifle minutes prior to the shots being fired.

During the course of this program, news broke that Trump has chosen 39-year-old J.D. Vance from Ohio as his Vice President. Also, more news broke that RFK Jr. is to receive Secret Service protection. Lastly, it was announced that Donald Trump has received enough convention delegate votes to become the official GOP presidential nominee.

Jim brought Jackson on during the remaining half of the program. Jackson shared his reaction to the J.D. Vance pick and his reaction to the attempted assassination. Trump gave “God alone” the credit for sparing his life.

Given that Jackson represents North Carolina, Jim inquired about the separation of church and state. Can a Christian be a politician? Does God care what happens in politics? How can a believer influence the legislative process? Is it biblical to vote for the lesser of two evils?
