The woke Left is championing the same "pedophile doctrines" that enable child sex slavery, warns Tim Ballard, a former Department of Homeland Security agent who has rescued hundreds of children from sex slavery.

He also warns that taxpayer dollars are in effect funding child sex slavery under President Joe Biden.

Ballard spoke with The Daily Signal last week, speaking alongside Jim Caviezel, the actor best known for playing Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ." Caviezel portrays Ballard in the forthcoming film "Sound of Freedom." The film tells the story of Ballard's first mission to save children from sex slavery in Colombia.

Ballard spoke about the nexus of ideas between a pro-pedophile political party in the Netherlands and the Left's transgender advocacy in the U.S., and he raised the alarm about Biden border policies that fund and enable the exploitation of children.

The Wagner Group, mercenaries led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, revolted against the Kremlin over the weekend after its leader claimed the Russian military killed 2,000 of its fighters in Ukraine. 

Victoria Coates, a senior research fellow in international affairs and national security at The Heritage Foundation, explains that “the Wagner Group is essentially a private paramilitary group run by Prigozhin, who was actually imprisoned for corruption at the end of the Soviet Union and then somehow became [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s private chef, and they established a very close relationship.” (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) 

Coates also weighs in on whether she thinks the rank-and-file members of the Russian military have lost confidence in Putin. 

“Well, they’ve certainly lost confidence in the top control of the ministry, particularly [Sergei] Shoigu, the minister of defense, who was never popular,” she says. “And in a way, Putin’s kept him around because he isn’t popular, and he doesn’t threaten Putin’s popularity, and he was an offset to Prigozhin who was an offset to Shoigu.”

“So, that kind of arrangement has worked for a while, but if there is a greater perception within Russia than we realize of how poorly the Ukraine war has gone, given the way it was sold as a three-day war, inevitable triumph, that obviously has not turned out to be the case, and the casualties have been horrific. And if that is starting to sink in, he might have another Afghanistan-style situation on his hands, and this could be a real emblem of that,” Coates says. 

Coates joins today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to further discuss the events that unfolded in Russia, and what they mean for Putin and his government.

Violent criminals are being given a “slap on the wrist” and released back onto the streets in eight cities across America, says author Charles "Cully" Stimson. 

Between the "defund the police" movement and the election of “[George] Soros' bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors, crime exploded,” says Stimson, co-author of the new book “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America's Communities.” 

The term “rogue prosecutor” refers to “those who are funded by, or inspired and supported by, the George Soros network,” says Stimson, who is a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Stimson's co-author, Zack Smith, is also a legal fellow there. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) 

Soros is a left-wing billionaire who has used his vast wealth to further the Left’s agenda, including spending “$40 million in [district attorney] races,” Stimson says, adding that in cities where these “rogue prosecutors" have been elected with Soros money, crime has spiked.

As an example, Stimson compares two cities, “San Diego and Philadelphia, tied as the seventh-largest cities in the United States."

"The difference between a real prosecutor in San Diego with [District Attorney] Summer Stephan and a rogue prosecutor like Larry Krasner [in Philadelphia] absolutely impacts your public safety privilege. And both big cities [have] gangs. San Diego [is] right on the border by Tijuana, Mexico. ... Philly's on [Interstate] 95; so, the corridor between Baltimore and New York City. Big highways. Last year ... Philadelphia [had] over 550 murders. San Diego, guess how many? Fifty—10 times less.” 

Stimson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the spiking crime trend in cities with rogue prosecutors at the helm and to share stories of the lives of people who have been tragically affected by criminals being released back onto the streets.

Saturday marks the one year anniversary since Roe. v. Wade was overturned, and as former NFL player Ben Watson explains in his new book, “The New Fight for Life: Roe, Race, and a Pro-Life Commitment to Justice,” the work of the pro-life community is far from over.

There is a “widening the tent” that is happening within the pro-life movement, Watson says, explaining the pressing need for women to receive support after giving birth. 

Watson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share how he went from the NFL to becoming a leading voice in the pro-life movement.

Ryan Wolfe got his start in journalism as a student at Wake Forest University and is now leading The Fund for American Studies’ new Center for Excellence in Journalism.

With many Americans lacking trust in traditional media outlets, The Fund for American Studies is training the next generation of journalists to focus on honest reporting and pursuing the truth—rather than advancing a political agenda.

It’s a big task and it’s one that Wolfe is eager to confront. On today’s edition of "The Daily Signal Podcast," we talk about the problem and solutions, plus Wolfe's own firsthand experience as a conservative student journalist.
