Elon Musk, Hollywood, and the War on Truth

Elon Musk acknowledges the Creator as Hollywood campaigns for a convicted terrorist, Hamas is caught hoarding baby formula, and a Texas Democrat backtracks.

The Daniel Cohen Show on Real Life Network keeps pulling on the same thread: truth is being punished, lies are being rewarded, and the public square is being discipled by whoever speaks the loudest. From Elon Musk acknowledging the Creator, to Hollywood celebrities demanding the release of a convicted terrorist, to Hamas being exposed for hoarding baby formula while accusing Israel of starvation, the battle is not just political. It is spiritual. And it touches everything from universities to immigration to the Middle East.

Elon Musk Admits a Creator and the Door That Opens

Elon Musk is not a pastor. He is not a theologian. He is an engineer’s engineer, the kind of mind that lives inside systems, design, and cause and effect. That is why his words land with weight when he says he looks up to “the Creator” and affirms that the universe came from “something.” For a culture trained to treat God like a punchline, even a small confession like that is a crack of light.

Scripture has always said creation testifies. The universe is ordered, mathematical, fine tuned, and breathtaking. Artwork implies an artist. Design implies a designer. And when a man who builds rockets and studies complexity admits there is a Creator behind it all, the next question becomes unavoidable: Who is that Creator, and what does He require of us?

That is where so many public figures stall. They may respect “principles” of Christianity, admire forgiveness, or call themselves “cultural Christians,” but never cross the line into the name above every name. Yet the Bible does not present God as an idea to admire. He is a personal, holy Creator, and every human being will stand before Him.

And that question is not just for billionaires. It is for you, for your family, and for a nation that has tried to replace worship with technology, politics, and entertainment. We are watching a society that can build advanced machines yet cannot answer the simplest human question: Why are we here?

Hollywood Defends a Convicted Terrorist as Hamas is Caught Hoarding Aid

While one headline hints at awakening, another exposes moral collapse. Hollywood celebrities signing petitions for the release of Marwan Barghouti is not “human rights advocacy.” It is propaganda. Barghouti is not a misunderstood freedom fighter. He is a convicted terrorist tied to attacks that targeted civilians. The attempt to rebrand him as a Mandela figure is a lie that collapses the definition of justice.

This is what happens when a culture loses its moral compass. It starts calling evil good, calls violence “resistance,” and treats the shedding of innocent blood like an unfortunate footnote. When celebrities with global platforms use their influence to sanctify terror, they are not standing for peace. They are laundering evil through fame.

At the same time, Israel continues to be vindicated as the narrative machine breaks down. A new discovery inside Gaza reveals Hamas hiding baby formula in secret warehouses while accusing Israel of starving children. Read that again. Hamas hoarded supplies, hid them, and then weaponized images and headlines to smear Israel. Terror groups do what terror groups do. But the scandal is how quickly major outlets and global institutions have repeated Hamas talking points like scripture.

This is not a minor media failure. It is blood libel in real time. If Hamas can hide formula and still win sympathy, it proves how powerful misinformation becomes when truth is treated as optional. And this is why the battle lines feel so clear. When truth is inconvenient, the powerful do not debate it, they bury it. They elevate narratives, not facts. They protect images, not lives.

Universities, Elections, and the Hope of the Gospel

This same war on truth shows up at home. Universities increasingly operate like re education systems where dissent is treated like harm and biology is treated like hate. Politics follows the same pattern. Consider the Jasmine Crockett comments and the backpedaling when receipts are read aloud. The playbook is predictable: say something inflammatory, deny you meant it, then accuse critics of being the problem.

It is also why Europe is becoming a warning sign. When public celebrations require barriers, metal detectors, and guards, something deeper is happening than “crime.” When Christmas markets become security hazards and churches are desecrated, the question is not whether it is happening. The question is why leaders keep pretending it is normal.

Then add the algorithmic pipeline aimed at children. If a major streamer is comfortable pushing sexual ideology into kids programming, parents must wake up. Your home has windows. Eyes and ears are gates. And what discipled a generation will shape a nation.

Still, the Daniel Cohen Show does not end in despair, because the gospel is not fragile. Revival is not powered by celebrity petitions or political spin. It is powered by the Spirit of God through ordinary believers who repent, pray, and speak truth without fear.

The hope of the gospel is not that we will engineer our way out of sin, vote our way out of judgment, or entertain our way into meaning. The hope is Jesus Christ. God the Creator entered His creation. He lived without sin. He died as a substitute for sinners. He rose again. He commands repentance and faith. And He offers real forgiveness, not the kind that pretends evil is good, but the kind that names sin honestly and washes it clean by His blood. Heaven will not be filled with people who claimed moral superiority. It will be filled with forgiven people who trusted Christ.

If you are watching the West fracture, do not only rage. Pray. Speak. Stand. And do not forget: the loudest voices in the culture are not the final authority. God is.

Eyes Fixed on Heaven: Living with an Eternal Focus

As Christians, we are called to live each day with our eyes fixed on heaven.

Heaven’s influence on our lives is never greater than when our sights are fixed upon it. The man or woman whose eyes are turned upward will be marked by a life lived differently. We know this because of the accounts of those who determined to fix their gaze far above the earth. Moses is a perfect example.

In Pharaoh’s house, Moses had every benefit laid at his feet. Yet, he was not captivated by the security of the Egyptian court because “he was looking ahead to his reward” (Hebrews 11:26). For Moses, looking upward equated to living beyond the fleeting rewards of playing it safe, resulting in the deliverance of millions of his people from bondage.

Missionary to China, Hudson Taylor was another who lived with heaven in constant view. In writing about winning souls to Christ, Taylor said, “China is not to be won for Christ by quiet, ease-loving men and women.” Through his courageous, some might say outrageous, trust in God, he inspired thousands to forsake the comforts of the West to bring the gospel to China's vast, unknown interior.

The Magi of the Christmas account trained their eye on the heavenly star so they might find the Christ Child and worship Him. Christian, what are your sights set on? What is the driving force in your worship of your King? I pray that you turn your eyes upward to that which will one day be yours—heaven.

Somaliagate and the Surrender of the West: Corruption, Chaos, and the Battle for Truth

Daniel Cohen uncovers the Somalia Gate welfare fraud, Western surrender to radical Islam, and the spiritual battle for truth in America, offering a biblical worldview and hope.

The collapse of Western resolve and the rise of radical Islam have collided in what Daniel Cohen calls Somalia Gate, the largest welfare fraud in American history. On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Cohen exposes how corruption, open borders, political cowardice, and spiritual blindness are eroding the foundation of the United States. With billions stolen, terror networks empowered, and government leaders like Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz under scrutiny, Cohen connects the crisis to a deeper war on truth itself. For viewers seeking conservative news, a biblical worldview, and honest reporting, this episode reveals why America is at a breaking point and why the fight for truth has never been more urgent.

Somaliagate and the Rise of Lawlessness

Somaliagate is the biggest welfare fraud in American history. Daniel Cohen reveals how billions of dollars were stolen through criminal networks tied primarily to Somali operatives in Minnesota. While the Biden administration, Governor Tim Walz, and Ilhan Omar deflect and deny accountability, whistleblowers say they were silenced, threatened, and punished for exposing corruption.

More than 480 Minnesota DHS employees warned Governor Walz about fraudulent schemes. Instead of action, they say they received intimidation and retaliation. Cohen calls it what it is: an organized crime syndicate masquerading as government.

The scale is staggering. A child nutrition program claimed to feed thousands when surveillance showed only a handful of people entering the facility. Federal agents discovered millions of stolen taxpayer dollars being funneled to al Shabaab, an al Qaeda linked terror group responsible for massacres in East Africa.

Ilhan Omar publicly promoted restaurants and organizations now tied to the fraud while receiving campaign support from those same networks. Video resurfaced of Somalia’s former prime minister bragging that Omar represents Somalia, not Minnesota. The evidence, Cohen says, is undeniable. This is not negligence. It is the deliberate dismantling of American systems in the name of political gain.

And Minnesota is only the beginning. Reports from Ohio and other states show similar patterns. Fraud. Kickbacks. Luxury cars funded by government assistance. American families struggle while corrupt actors and foreign networks drain the system dry. Cohen warns that denying this reality does not make it disappear. It emboldens it.

A Border in Crisis and a Culture Under Siege

Cohen draws the connection between domestic fraud and the consequences of a completely unsecured border. Criminals deported multiple times walk back into the country with ease. Violent offenders roam sanctuary cities with no fear of consequences. Americans pay the price, including recent tragedies in Charlotte and across the nation.

President Trump responded by authorizing strikes against narco terrorists poisoning American streets with fentanyl. Yet Democrats accuse him of war crimes while ignoring the real carnage that destroys families. Cohen calls this moral confusion an indictment of a political class that values ideology over human life.

The same inversion of truth is visible in Europe. In the United Kingdom, a man was arrested at 4 a.m. simply for saying he disliked Palestinian flags in his neighborhood. Cohen warns that America is headed toward the same destiny if it continues to sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness.

The cultural assault extends even into entertainment. Cohen highlights the growing influence of left wing ideology in major studios, including reports of Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. and the role of high profile political figures in shaping children’s content. Transgender storylines and radical messages have become commonplace in programming aimed at children.

The message is clear. When truth is abandoned, society unravels.

Israel, Biblical Truth, and the Hope That Cannot Be Silenced

In the final section of the episode, Cohen returns to the spiritual center of the crisis. Radical Islam understands only one language: strength. Israel embodies that principle as it fights daily for survival. From deterring Hamas attacks to deploying the revolutionary Iron Beam defense system, Israel is showing the world that peace is impossible without truth and courage.

Meanwhile, the same weaponization of the judicial system used against President Trump is now being used against Prime Minister Netanyahu. Cohen points out the global pattern. Strong leaders who defend their nations are targeted while radicals are celebrated.

Yet there is hope. Cohen highlights the powerful ministry of Jeff Morgan in Israel, sharing the Gospel with Jewish people through Scripture itself. Isaiah 53, Micah 5, Zechariah 12, and Proverbs 30 point unmistakably to Jesus as Messiah. Hearts are softening. Curiosity is growing. Truth is breaking through.

And thousands of American pastors recently traveled to Israel to stand in solidarity, pray at the Western Wall, and commit to preaching biblical truth without compromise.

Cohen reminds readers that America is not just facing political corruption. It is facing a spiritual crisis. The collapse of borders, the rise of radical Islam, the fraud in Minnesota, and the war against Israel are all symptoms of a deeper battle between truth and deception. The answer is not despair. The answer is the Gospel. Christ remains victorious. Scripture remains true. And the Church must remain awake.

Is There Too Much Violence in Media? What Parents Should Know Today

Violence in media is increasing across TV, movies, and video games. Learn how it affects young people and why faith-based content is becoming a safe alternative for families.

Screens are an unavoidable part of life, and today’s families face more entertainment choices than ever. Yet one trend has become increasingly clear: mainstream media is growing more graphic. Scenes that were once considered inappropriate for network television are now commonplace in streaming shows, movies, and even animated programs marketed to teens.

Parents who want to protect their children from unnecessary violence often feel caught between cultural norms and their desire to shield young minds. The question many are asking is whether this level of exposure is healthy, and what alternatives exist for families who want content that edifies rather than unsettles.

Understanding how violent imagery affects children, teens, and even adults is the first step in shaping healthier viewing habits. And as more families seek meaningful, non-graphic entertainment, faith-based platforms like Real Life Network are becoming welcome havens.

The Rise of Violence in Modern Media

Over the last twenty years, violence on television and in film has not only become more frequent, but it has become more explicit. Streaming platforms have pushed boundaries that traditional networks once maintained, introducing darker themes, grittier realism, and scenes designed to shock or provoke.

Several factors contribute to this shift:

  • The pressure to keep audiences engaged through intensity
  • The popularity of dark, post-apocalyptic, or dystopian storylines
  • The influence of horror and action genres on mainstream storytelling
  • The demand for “edgier” content to stand out in crowded streaming libraries

Not all conflict is harmful, of course. Stories have always included tension and struggle. The concern arises when violence becomes graphic, celebrated, or normalized to the point where viewers—especially young ones—absorb it without context or caution.

How Violent Content Affects Children and Teens

Researchers have studied the effects of violent media for decades. While findings vary, there is consistent agreement on several key points.

1. Increased Anxiety

Children who watch violent or intense scenes, particularly at night or in binge-style viewing, often experience:

  • Heightened worry
  • Nightmares
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Difficulty distinguishing entertainment from reality

Younger children are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing the ability to process and evaluate emotionally charged material.

2. Emotional Numbing

Repeated exposure to graphic or sensational violence can cause children and teens to become less sensitive to suffering or danger. This “numbing” effect doesn’t make them harmful; it simply dulls their normal emotional responses, making serious situations seem trivial.

3. Stress Responses and PTSD-Like Symptoms

While the word “trauma” should not be used lightly, psychologists note that graphic or disturbing imagery can trigger stress responses similar to those seen in real-life traumatic events. Children with anxiety disorders, past trauma, or high sensitivity are particularly at risk.

4. Difficulty Processing Conflict in Healthy Ways

Entertainment that resolves everything through aggression subtly teaches that force is a first resort rather than a last one. Over time, it can influence how young people understand:

  • Anger
  • Problem-solving
  • Emotional regulation
  • Respect for others

These concerns don’t mean that one action movie will harm a child. But consistent exposure over time can shape patterns of thinking and emotional responses without families even noticing.

What About Violence in Video Games?

Video games vary widely, and not every game is harmful. Many are educational, peaceful, or creative. But games that reward aggression or immerse players in graphic imagery can influence how young people process conflict and stress.

Potential concerns include:

  • Increased heart rate and stress levels
  • Difficulty calming down after play
  • Desensitization to violent behavior
  • Reduced sleep quality when gaming at night
  • Potential addiction patterns connected to adrenaline-driven gameplay

The issue isn’t simply “video games are bad,” but rather how frequently children engage with fast-paced, violent content and how little downtime their minds receive afterward.

But Isn’t There Violence in the Bible?

Yes, the Bible contains accounts of war, persecution, and injustice. These passages are not hidden; they have value and purpose. Scripture is honest about the brokenness of the world and the consequences of sin.

The key difference is this:

Biblical violence is descriptive, not sensational.

It’s presented within moral framework:

  • God condemns unjust violence
  • Scripture calls believers to peace and self-control
  • Violence is shown as the result of humanity’s fallenness, not entertainment
  • Biblical narratives point toward redemption, not spectacle

In contrast, modern entertainment often uses violence purely to shock, entertain, or escalate intensity.

Reading about a battle described in Scripture is not the same as watching a graphic portrayal of one. Visual imagery affects the brain differently, especially in children, triggering emotional responses that linger longer and cut deeper.

Are Faith-Based Shows Less Violent Than Mainstream TV?

Generally speaking, yes. Faith-based programming tends to handle conflict with purpose, moderation, and respect for the audience.

These characteristics set faith-driven content apart:

  • Less graphic imagery
  • No glorification of brutality
  • Stories built around redemption, courage, or moral decisions
  • Violence (when present) handled with restraint
  • Themes focused on hope rather than darkness

This doesn’t mean faith-based production avoids difficult topics. It means they approach those topics with care and a commitment to honoring both truth and viewer well-being.

Families looking for a safer media environment often find that faith-based platforms offer the emotional, spiritual, and developmental benefits that mainstream entertainment lacks.

Why Real Life Network Offers a Safer Alternative

Real Life Network was created for families who want content that builds up rather than tears down. In a culture where violent media is becoming more common, RLN provides a refuge of clean, encouraging, and thoughtful programming.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • No graphic violence
  • No sensationalized brutality
  • Teaching and stories rooted in Scripture
  • Content that promotes emotional health and biblical worldview
  • Options for kids, teens, adults, and small groups
  • Sermons, documentaries, studies, and conversations centered on truth, not shock value

Parents can know exactly what their children are watching and can feel confident that the material won’t expose young minds to images they aren’t prepared to process.

Whether a family wants animated stories, biblical teaching, worldview discussions, or documentaries with depth but not intensity, RLN provides content that is safe, uplifting, and grounded in truth.

Violence in media isn’t going away, and families can’t avoid every difficult topic. But they can choose what enters the home, what fills the mind, and what shapes a child’s imagination. Faith-based content offers a healthier path—one that brings peace rather than anxiety, strength rather than confusion, and encouragement rather than disturbance.

When Reality Burns: A Culture at War with Truth

Daniel Cohen exposes the cultural chaos redefining womanhood, erasing female achievement, and fueling violent lawlessness in America through a bold biblical worldview on Real Life Network.

The daily headlines feel more unhinged every week. Men are being crowned women of the year. Violent criminals with seventy prior arrests walk free. Billions of dollars disappear into homelessness programs that never reduce homelessness. Welfare fraud in Minnesota funds al Qaeda affiliates overseas. At first glance the stories look disconnected. But on The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Daniel Cohen shows how they are all symptoms of the same spiritual reality. When a nation abandons God, truth collapses, justice unravels, and deception becomes normal.

Streaming now on RLN’s Christian streaming service, this episode cuts through the noise of legacy media and exposes what is really happening. Cohen is not offering partisan commentary. He is calling the Church to see culture through a biblical worldview, to recognize the spiritual warfare behind the chaos, and to return to the truth that God defines reality, not politicians, activists, or the media.

The Erasure of Women and the Redefinition of Reality

Cohen begins with Glamour UK’s shocking decision to name nine biological men as its “women of the year.” The men call themselves “The Dolls,” and the magazine celebrated them as icons of empowerment. Cohen calls it what it is. A cultural declaration that feelings replace biology, costume replaces reality, and men now outperform women even at being women.

He notes the staggering insult. Out of billions of women on earth, the magazine did not choose a single real woman. Not an Israeli hostage who survived Hamas captivity. Not a cancer survivor like Princess Kate. Not a mother, scientist, or humanitarian. Instead, the award elevates men who rely on plastic surgery, injections, and curated appearances to redefine womanhood.

Cohen warns that this is not harmless. Young girls already face intense pressure to be thin, perfect, and beautiful. Now they are told that even their best will never match a man in makeup. He calls this the most misogynistic movement in modern history, wrapped in rainbow slogans and sold as empowerment. It is the same lie the serpent told Eve. You can define yourself. You can redefine truth. You can decide what reality is.

Crime Without Consequence and the Collapse of Justice

Cohen then turns to Chicago, where twenty six year old Bethany McGee was set on fire on a train by a man with seventy two prior arrests. She now clings to life with third degree burns covering most of her body. Her attacker was repeatedly released by judges who believed jail was too harsh. Cohen walks through the record. Seventy two arrests. Thirteen convictions. Prior offenses involving fire. Direct warnings from prosecutors. And still he walked free.

For Cohen, this proves that modern “criminal justice reform” has become a theology of denial. Instead of protecting innocent people, it protects offenders. Instead of restraining evil, it rewards it. The result is predictable. More victims. More fear. More chaos.

He also notes the heartbreaking detail that McGee supported movements like Black Lives Matter and policies that weaken law enforcement. Cohen is not attacking her. He is mourning the fact that the very ideology she supported produced the system that failed her. It is a sober warning. Ideas have consequences. When leaders abandon justice, the vulnerable pay the price.

Homelessness as Industry and Taxpayer Dollars Funding Terror

From Chicago, Cohen moves to California, exposing the truth behind the homelessness crisis. Despite spending over seven billion dollars since 2016, cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are more dangerous and chaotic than ever. Elon Musk recently described the system as a “homeless industrial complex.” Cohen agrees. When nonprofits and government programs receive more money when more people live on the streets, the incentive becomes management, not recovery.

Cohen says the system keeps people trapped in addiction rather than free in dignity. You cannot solve a problem when powerful institutions are paid to preserve it.

Then the story widens again. In Minnesota, Somali run nonprofits filed fake Medicaid claims, claiming thousands of children had disabilities such as autism. The money was then funneled overseas through informal transfer networks, where al Shabab took its cut. Cohen lays out the horror. Al Shabab is one of the deadliest Islamic terror groups in the world, affiliated with al Qaeda, responsible for killing thousands of civilians, attacking malls, beaches, churches, and schools.

And American taxpayers unknowingly funded it.

Cohen is clear. Not every Somali refugee is corrupt. Many love America and want a better life. But when thousands are brought in with little vetting and no expectation of assimilation, corruption takes root and honest people suffer. Meanwhile politicians refuse to confront the truth for fear of being branded racist.

A Culture That Rejects God Cannot Stand

By the final segment Cohen connects every thread. Men replacing women. Criminals protected over victims. Homelessness treated as an industry. Federal aid flowing into terror networks. Political leaders undermining the president. Activists reshaping language, law, and morality.

The pattern is unmistakable. A culture that rejects God inevitably rejects truth. When truth collapses, justice collapses. When justice collapses, the vulnerable suffer. And when suffering becomes widespread, only one question remains. Who defines reality? God or man?

Cohen insists that the solution is not merely political reform but spiritual awakening. Nations rise and fall, but the Word of God stands. The Gospel remains the one true remedy for human rebellion. Jesus Christ offers forgiveness, transformation, and hope to broken people in a broken society. Until hearts are changed, no policy will produce righteousness.

Stand Firm in Truth

Cohen ends with a challenge. Stop letting legacy media disciple your mind. Return to Scripture. Stand for women. Stand for victims. Stand for justice. Stand for the truth that God created reality and no movement, court, or magazine can redefine it.

For believers who want Christian worldview news anchored in truth, Real Life Network offers trusted coverage, biblical commentary, and shows like The Daniel Cohen Show that refuse to bow to cultural pressure.

The Daniel Cohen Show on Real Life Network keeps pulling on the same thread: truth is being punished, lies are being rewarded, and the public square is being discipled by whoever speaks the loudest. From Elon Musk acknowledging the Creator, to Hollywood celebrities demanding the release of a convicted terrorist, to Hamas being exposed for hoarding baby formula while accusing Israel of starvation, the battle is not just political. It is spiritual. And it touches everything from universities to immigration to the Middle East.

Elon Musk Admits a Creator and the Door That Opens

Elon Musk is not a pastor. He is not a theologian. He is an engineer’s engineer, the kind of mind that lives inside systems, design, and cause and effect. That is why his words land with weight when he says he looks up to “the Creator” and affirms that the universe came from “something.” For a culture trained to treat God like a punchline, even a small confession like that is a crack of light.

Scripture has always said creation testifies. The universe is ordered, mathematical, fine tuned, and breathtaking. Artwork implies an artist. Design implies a designer. And when a man who builds rockets and studies complexity admits there is a Creator behind it all, the next question becomes unavoidable: Who is that Creator, and what does He require of us?

That is where so many public figures stall. They may respect “principles” of Christianity, admire forgiveness, or call themselves “cultural Christians,” but never cross the line into the name above every name. Yet the Bible does not present God as an idea to admire. He is a personal, holy Creator, and every human being will stand before Him.

And that question is not just for billionaires. It is for you, for your family, and for a nation that has tried to replace worship with technology, politics, and entertainment. We are watching a society that can build advanced machines yet cannot answer the simplest human question: Why are we here?

Hollywood Defends a Convicted Terrorist as Hamas is Caught Hoarding Aid

While one headline hints at awakening, another exposes moral collapse. Hollywood celebrities signing petitions for the release of Marwan Barghouti is not “human rights advocacy.” It is propaganda. Barghouti is not a misunderstood freedom fighter. He is a convicted terrorist tied to attacks that targeted civilians. The attempt to rebrand him as a Mandela figure is a lie that collapses the definition of justice.

This is what happens when a culture loses its moral compass. It starts calling evil good, calls violence “resistance,” and treats the shedding of innocent blood like an unfortunate footnote. When celebrities with global platforms use their influence to sanctify terror, they are not standing for peace. They are laundering evil through fame.

At the same time, Israel continues to be vindicated as the narrative machine breaks down. A new discovery inside Gaza reveals Hamas hiding baby formula in secret warehouses while accusing Israel of starving children. Read that again. Hamas hoarded supplies, hid them, and then weaponized images and headlines to smear Israel. Terror groups do what terror groups do. But the scandal is how quickly major outlets and global institutions have repeated Hamas talking points like scripture.

This is not a minor media failure. It is blood libel in real time. If Hamas can hide formula and still win sympathy, it proves how powerful misinformation becomes when truth is treated as optional. And this is why the battle lines feel so clear. When truth is inconvenient, the powerful do not debate it, they bury it. They elevate narratives, not facts. They protect images, not lives.

Universities, Elections, and the Hope of the Gospel

This same war on truth shows up at home. Universities increasingly operate like re education systems where dissent is treated like harm and biology is treated like hate. Politics follows the same pattern. Consider the Jasmine Crockett comments and the backpedaling when receipts are read aloud. The playbook is predictable: say something inflammatory, deny you meant it, then accuse critics of being the problem.

It is also why Europe is becoming a warning sign. When public celebrations require barriers, metal detectors, and guards, something deeper is happening than “crime.” When Christmas markets become security hazards and churches are desecrated, the question is not whether it is happening. The question is why leaders keep pretending it is normal.

Then add the algorithmic pipeline aimed at children. If a major streamer is comfortable pushing sexual ideology into kids programming, parents must wake up. Your home has windows. Eyes and ears are gates. And what discipled a generation will shape a nation.

Still, the Daniel Cohen Show does not end in despair, because the gospel is not fragile. Revival is not powered by celebrity petitions or political spin. It is powered by the Spirit of God through ordinary believers who repent, pray, and speak truth without fear.

The hope of the gospel is not that we will engineer our way out of sin, vote our way out of judgment, or entertain our way into meaning. The hope is Jesus Christ. God the Creator entered His creation. He lived without sin. He died as a substitute for sinners. He rose again. He commands repentance and faith. And He offers real forgiveness, not the kind that pretends evil is good, but the kind that names sin honestly and washes it clean by His blood. Heaven will not be filled with people who claimed moral superiority. It will be filled with forgiven people who trusted Christ.

If you are watching the West fracture, do not only rage. Pray. Speak. Stand. And do not forget: the loudest voices in the culture are not the final authority. God is.

Heaven’s influence on our lives is never greater than when our sights are fixed upon it. The man or woman whose eyes are turned upward will be marked by a life lived differently. We know this because of the accounts of those who determined to fix their gaze far above the earth. Moses is a perfect example.

In Pharaoh’s house, Moses had every benefit laid at his feet. Yet, he was not captivated by the security of the Egyptian court because “he was looking ahead to his reward” (Hebrews 11:26). For Moses, looking upward equated to living beyond the fleeting rewards of playing it safe, resulting in the deliverance of millions of his people from bondage.

Missionary to China, Hudson Taylor was another who lived with heaven in constant view. In writing about winning souls to Christ, Taylor said, “China is not to be won for Christ by quiet, ease-loving men and women.” Through his courageous, some might say outrageous, trust in God, he inspired thousands to forsake the comforts of the West to bring the gospel to China's vast, unknown interior.

The Magi of the Christmas account trained their eye on the heavenly star so they might find the Christ Child and worship Him. Christian, what are your sights set on? What is the driving force in your worship of your King? I pray that you turn your eyes upward to that which will one day be yours—heaven.

Eyes Fixed on Heaven: Living with an Eternal Focus

As Christians, we are called to live each day with our eyes fixed on heaven.

1. Sabina

Why It’s Worth Watching
Set during World War II, Sabina tells the remarkable true story of Sabina and Richard Wurmbrand, co-founders of The Voice of the Martyrs. At its heart, this film explores what it means to love and forgive in circumstances that most people could hardly imagine. While the setting includes the tension of the era, the film stays rooted in themes of redemption and forgiveness rather than graphic content.

Families with older children and teens will appreciate the emotional depth of the story, especially its portrayal of choosing compassion over hatred. The film creates a valuable opportunity to discuss how biblical love is more than a feeling; it is a choice that reflects the heart of Christ.

A Scripture Connection

2. The Pilgrim’s Progress (Animated)

Why It’s Worth Watching
Based on John Bunyan’s enduring classic, this animated adaptation introduces children and adults alike to one of the most influential Christian stories ever written.

After an unexpected detour, he ends up in a small Texas town where he meets a mentor who teaches him that the condition of the heart matters far more than the perfection of a swing.

This film stands out for its gentle pace, clean content, and emphasis on character over competition. The movie’s themes—purpose, humility, and discipline—make it ideal for older children and teens navigating questions about identity and success.

A Scripture Connection
Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV) says, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” The film illustrates this truth through its message that the inner life drives outward choices, goals, and motivations.

Her story continues to inspire believers around the world with its message of courage, forgiveness, and trust in God in the darkest circumstances.

Although the subject matter deals with historical oppression, the film handles the material with care, avoiding unnecessary intensity while still portraying the weight of the choices Corrie and her family made. For middle schoolers, teens, and adults, this is a meaningful look at faith in action.

A Scripture Connection
Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) reminds us, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Corrie’s story reflects this assurance, showing how reliance on the Lord can sustain believers through unimaginable trials.

The collapse of Western resolve and the rise of radical Islam have collided in what Daniel Cohen calls Somalia Gate, the largest welfare fraud in American history. On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Cohen exposes how corruption, open borders, political cowardice, and spiritual blindness are eroding the foundation of the United States. With billions stolen, terror networks empowered, and government leaders like Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz under scrutiny, Cohen connects the crisis to a deeper war on truth itself. For viewers seeking conservative news, a biblical worldview, and honest reporting, this episode reveals why America is at a breaking point and why the fight for truth has never been more urgent.

Somaliagate and the Rise of Lawlessness

Somaliagate is the biggest welfare fraud in American history. Daniel Cohen reveals how billions of dollars were stolen through criminal networks tied primarily to Somali operatives in Minnesota. While the Biden administration, Governor Tim Walz, and Ilhan Omar deflect and deny accountability, whistleblowers say they were silenced, threatened, and punished for exposing corruption.

More than 480 Minnesota DHS employees warned Governor Walz about fraudulent schemes. Instead of action, they say they received intimidation and retaliation. Cohen calls it what it is: an organized crime syndicate masquerading as government.

The scale is staggering. A child nutrition program claimed to feed thousands when surveillance showed only a handful of people entering the facility. Federal agents discovered millions of stolen taxpayer dollars being funneled to al Shabaab, an al Qaeda linked terror group responsible for massacres in East Africa.

Ilhan Omar publicly promoted restaurants and organizations now tied to the fraud while receiving campaign support from those same networks. Video resurfaced of Somalia’s former prime minister bragging that Omar represents Somalia, not Minnesota. The evidence, Cohen says, is undeniable. This is not negligence. It is the deliberate dismantling of American systems in the name of political gain.

And Minnesota is only the beginning. Reports from Ohio and other states show similar patterns. Fraud. Kickbacks. Luxury cars funded by government assistance. American families struggle while corrupt actors and foreign networks drain the system dry. Cohen warns that denying this reality does not make it disappear. It emboldens it.

A Border in Crisis and a Culture Under Siege

Cohen draws the connection between domestic fraud and the consequences of a completely unsecured border. Criminals deported multiple times walk back into the country with ease. Violent offenders roam sanctuary cities with no fear of consequences. Americans pay the price, including recent tragedies in Charlotte and across the nation.

President Trump responded by authorizing strikes against narco terrorists poisoning American streets with fentanyl. Yet Democrats accuse him of war crimes while ignoring the real carnage that destroys families. Cohen calls this moral confusion an indictment of a political class that values ideology over human life.

The same inversion of truth is visible in Europe. In the United Kingdom, a man was arrested at 4 a.m. simply for saying he disliked Palestinian flags in his neighborhood. Cohen warns that America is headed toward the same destiny if it continues to sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness.

The cultural assault extends even into entertainment. Cohen highlights the growing influence of left wing ideology in major studios, including reports of Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. and the role of high profile political figures in shaping children’s content. Transgender storylines and radical messages have become commonplace in programming aimed at children.

The message is clear. When truth is abandoned, society unravels.

Israel, Biblical Truth, and the Hope That Cannot Be Silenced

In the final section of the episode, Cohen returns to the spiritual center of the crisis. Radical Islam understands only one language: strength. Israel embodies that principle as it fights daily for survival. From deterring Hamas attacks to deploying the revolutionary Iron Beam defense system, Israel is showing the world that peace is impossible without truth and courage.

Meanwhile, the same weaponization of the judicial system used against President Trump is now being used against Prime Minister Netanyahu. Cohen points out the global pattern. Strong leaders who defend their nations are targeted while radicals are celebrated.

Yet there is hope. Cohen highlights the powerful ministry of Jeff Morgan in Israel, sharing the Gospel with Jewish people through Scripture itself. Isaiah 53, Micah 5, Zechariah 12, and Proverbs 30 point unmistakably to Jesus as Messiah. Hearts are softening. Curiosity is growing. Truth is breaking through.

And thousands of American pastors recently traveled to Israel to stand in solidarity, pray at the Western Wall, and commit to preaching biblical truth without compromise.

Cohen reminds readers that America is not just facing political corruption. It is facing a spiritual crisis. The collapse of borders, the rise of radical Islam, the fraud in Minnesota, and the war against Israel are all symptoms of a deeper battle between truth and deception. The answer is not despair. The answer is the Gospel. Christ remains victorious. Scripture remains true. And the Church must remain awake.

Screens are an unavoidable part of life, and today’s families face more entertainment choices than ever. Yet one trend has become increasingly clear: mainstream media is growing more graphic. Scenes that were once considered inappropriate for network television are now commonplace in streaming shows, movies, and even animated programs marketed to teens.

Parents who want to protect their children from unnecessary violence often feel caught between cultural norms and their desire to shield young minds. The question many are asking is whether this level of exposure is healthy, and what alternatives exist for families who want content that edifies rather than unsettles.

Understanding how violent imagery affects children, teens, and even adults is the first step in shaping healthier viewing habits. And as more families seek meaningful, non-graphic entertainment, faith-based platforms like Real Life Network are becoming welcome havens.

The Rise of Violence in Modern Media

Over the last twenty years, violence on television and in film has not only become more frequent, but it has become more explicit. Streaming platforms have pushed boundaries that traditional networks once maintained, introducing darker themes, grittier realism, and scenes designed to shock or provoke.

Several factors contribute to this shift:

  • The pressure to keep audiences engaged through intensity
  • The popularity of dark, post-apocalyptic, or dystopian storylines
  • The influence of horror and action genres on mainstream storytelling
  • The demand for “edgier” content to stand out in crowded streaming libraries

Not all conflict is harmful, of course. Stories have always included tension and struggle. The concern arises when violence becomes graphic, celebrated, or normalized to the point where viewers—especially young ones—absorb it without context or caution.

How Violent Content Affects Children and Teens

Researchers have studied the effects of violent media for decades. While findings vary, there is consistent agreement on several key points.

1. Increased Anxiety

Children who watch violent or intense scenes, particularly at night or in binge-style viewing, often experience:

  • Heightened worry
  • Nightmares
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Difficulty distinguishing entertainment from reality

Younger children are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing the ability to process and evaluate emotionally charged material.

2. Emotional Numbing

Repeated exposure to graphic or sensational violence can cause children and teens to become less sensitive to suffering or danger. This “numbing” effect doesn’t make them harmful; it simply dulls their normal emotional responses, making serious situations seem trivial.

3. Stress Responses and PTSD-Like Symptoms

While the word “trauma” should not be used lightly, psychologists note that graphic or disturbing imagery can trigger stress responses similar to those seen in real-life traumatic events. Children with anxiety disorders, past trauma, or high sensitivity are particularly at risk.

4. Difficulty Processing Conflict in Healthy Ways

Entertainment that resolves everything through aggression subtly teaches that force is a first resort rather than a last one. Over time, it can influence how young people understand:

  • Anger
  • Problem-solving
  • Emotional regulation
  • Respect for others

These concerns don’t mean that one action movie will harm a child. But consistent exposure over time can shape patterns of thinking and emotional responses without families even noticing.

What About Violence in Video Games?

Video games vary widely, and not every game is harmful. Many are educational, peaceful, or creative. But games that reward aggression or immerse players in graphic imagery can influence how young people process conflict and stress.

Potential concerns include:

  • Increased heart rate and stress levels
  • Difficulty calming down after play
  • Desensitization to violent behavior
  • Reduced sleep quality when gaming at night
  • Potential addiction patterns connected to adrenaline-driven gameplay

The issue isn’t simply “video games are bad,” but rather how frequently children engage with fast-paced, violent content and how little downtime their minds receive afterward.

But Isn’t There Violence in the Bible?

Yes, the Bible contains accounts of war, persecution, and injustice. These passages are not hidden; they have value and purpose. Scripture is honest about the brokenness of the world and the consequences of sin.

The key difference is this:

Biblical violence is descriptive, not sensational.

It’s presented within moral framework:

  • God condemns unjust violence
  • Scripture calls believers to peace and self-control
  • Violence is shown as the result of humanity’s fallenness, not entertainment
  • Biblical narratives point toward redemption, not spectacle

In contrast, modern entertainment often uses violence purely to shock, entertain, or escalate intensity.

Reading about a battle described in Scripture is not the same as watching a graphic portrayal of one. Visual imagery affects the brain differently, especially in children, triggering emotional responses that linger longer and cut deeper.

Are Faith-Based Shows Less Violent Than Mainstream TV?

Generally speaking, yes. Faith-based programming tends to handle conflict with purpose, moderation, and respect for the audience.

These characteristics set faith-driven content apart:

  • Less graphic imagery
  • No glorification of brutality
  • Stories built around redemption, courage, or moral decisions
  • Violence (when present) handled with restraint
  • Themes focused on hope rather than darkness

This doesn’t mean faith-based production avoids difficult topics. It means they approach those topics with care and a commitment to honoring both truth and viewer well-being.

Families looking for a safer media environment often find that faith-based platforms offer the emotional, spiritual, and developmental benefits that mainstream entertainment lacks.

Real Life Network was created for families who want content that builds up rather than tears down. In a culture where violent media is becoming more common, RLN provides a refuge of clean, encouraging, and thoughtful programming.

The daily headlines feel more unhinged every week. Men are being crowned women of the year. Violent criminals with seventy prior arrests walk free. Billions of dollars disappear into homelessness programs that never reduce homelessness. Welfare fraud in Minnesota funds al Qaeda affiliates overseas. At first glance the stories look disconnected. But on The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Daniel Cohen shows how they are all symptoms of the same spiritual reality. When a nation abandons God, truth collapses, justice unravels, and deception becomes normal.

Streaming now on RLN’s Christian streaming service, this episode cuts through the noise of legacy media and exposes what is really happening. Cohen is not offering partisan commentary. He is calling the Church to see culture through a biblical worldview, to recognize the spiritual warfare behind the chaos, and to return to the truth that God defines reality, not politicians, activists, or the media.

The Erasure of Women and the Redefinition of Reality

Cohen begins with Glamour UK’s shocking decision to name nine biological men as its “women of the year.” The men call themselves “The Dolls,” and the magazine celebrated them as icons of empowerment. Cohen calls it what it is. A cultural declaration that feelings replace biology, costume replaces reality, and men now outperform women even at being women.

He notes the staggering insult. Out of billions of women on earth, the magazine did not choose a single real woman. Not an Israeli hostage who survived Hamas captivity. Not a cancer survivor like Princess Kate. Not a mother, scientist, or humanitarian. Instead, the award elevates men who rely on plastic surgery, injections, and curated appearances to redefine womanhood.

Cohen warns that this is not harmless. Young girls already face intense pressure to be thin, perfect, and beautiful. Now they are told that even their best will never match a man in makeup. He calls this the most misogynistic movement in modern history, wrapped in rainbow slogans and sold as empowerment. It is the same lie the serpent told Eve. You can define yourself. You can redefine truth. You can decide what reality is.

Crime Without Consequence and the Collapse of Justice

Cohen then turns to Chicago, where twenty six year old Bethany McGee was set on fire on a train by a man with seventy two prior arrests. She now clings to life with third degree burns covering most of her body. Her attacker was repeatedly released by judges who believed jail was too harsh. Cohen walks through the record. Seventy two arrests. Thirteen convictions. Prior offenses involving fire. Direct warnings from prosecutors. And still he walked free.

For Cohen, this proves that modern “criminal justice reform” has become a theology of denial. Instead of protecting innocent people, it protects offenders. Instead of restraining evil, it rewards it. The result is predictable. More victims. More fear. More chaos.

He also notes the heartbreaking detail that McGee supported movements like Black Lives Matter and policies that weaken law enforcement. Cohen is not attacking her. He is mourning the fact that the very ideology she supported produced the system that failed her. It is a sober warning. Ideas have consequences. When leaders abandon justice, the vulnerable pay the price.

Homelessness as Industry and Taxpayer Dollars Funding Terror

From Chicago, Cohen moves to California, exposing the truth behind the homelessness crisis. Despite spending over seven billion dollars since 2016, cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are more dangerous and chaotic than ever. Elon Musk recently described the system as a “homeless industrial complex.” Cohen agrees. When nonprofits and government programs receive more money when more people live on the streets, the incentive becomes management, not recovery.

Cohen says the system keeps people trapped in addiction rather than free in dignity. You cannot solve a problem when powerful institutions are paid to preserve it.

Then the story widens again. In Minnesota, Somali run nonprofits filed fake Medicaid claims, claiming thousands of children had disabilities such as autism. The money was then funneled overseas through informal transfer networks, where al Shabab took its cut. Cohen lays out the horror. Al Shabab is one of the deadliest Islamic terror groups in the world, affiliated with al Qaeda, responsible for killing thousands of civilians, attacking malls, beaches, churches, and schools.

And American taxpayers unknowingly funded it.

Cohen is clear. Not every Somali refugee is corrupt. Many love America and want a better life. But when thousands are brought in with little vetting and no expectation of assimilation, corruption takes root and honest people suffer. Meanwhile politicians refuse to confront the truth for fear of being branded racist.

A Culture That Rejects God Cannot Stand

By the final segment Cohen connects every thread. Men replacing women. Criminals protected over victims. Homelessness treated as an industry. Federal aid flowing into terror networks. Political leaders undermining the president. Activists reshaping language, law, and morality.

The pattern is unmistakable. A culture that rejects God inevitably rejects truth. When truth collapses, justice collapses. When justice collapses, the vulnerable suffer. And when suffering becomes widespread, only one question remains. Who defines reality? God or man?

Cohen insists that the solution is not merely political reform but spiritual awakening. Nations rise and fall, but the Word of God stands. The Gospel remains the one true remedy for human rebellion. Jesus Christ offers forgiveness, transformation, and hope to broken people in a broken society. Until hearts are changed, no policy will produce righteousness.

Stand Firm in Truth

Cohen ends with a challenge. Stop letting legacy media disciple your mind. Return to Scripture. Stand for women. Stand for victims. Stand for justice. Stand for the truth that God created reality and no movement, court, or magazine can redefine it.

For believers who want Christian worldview news anchored in truth, Real Life Network offers trusted coverage, biblical commentary, and shows like The Daniel Cohen Show that refuse to bow to cultural pressure.

The West is facing a crisis of truth that cannot be explained by politics alone. On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Daniel Cohen connects stories from Germany, the Middle East, and America to show how Radical Islam, cultural confusion, political corruption, and media manipulation are symptoms of a deeper spiritual war. His message blends Conservative News with a Biblical Worldview that refuses to look away from the real enemy. Tags such as Daniel Cohen, Muslim Brotherhood, Trump, Trump Executive Order, Comey, Letitia James, Iran, Water Crisis, Christmas Markets, Germany, Islamic Terror, Trans Athlete, Womens Sports, Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA, Faith, Forgiveness, Israel, and Real Life Network become threads in a much larger story.

A Crisis of Discernment in Germany and the West

Cohen begins with a moment that shocked even seasoned journalists. In Germany, during one of the oldest Christmas Markets in Europe, a German church allowed the Muslim call to prayer to echo through its sanctuary. Even the German reporter who filmed it admitted a sense of deep unease. Cohen ties this to growing influence from Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, who continue to use Western institutions as platforms to expand their ideology.

Qatar alone has spent billions to reshape Western thought, funding activists, politicians, media outlets, and university programs that advance pro Hamas sentiment and anti Israel narratives. These same networks celebrated on the streets of Berlin and Hamburg after the October 7 attacks, waving Hamas flags and shouting chants that once would have been unthinkable in Europe.

Cohen reminds viewers that discernment is the missing ingredient. When nations reject biblical truth, they lose the ability to distinguish good from evil. Political leaders offer appeasement instead of justice. Media outlets rewrite reality. Churches remain silent to avoid offense. Germany, a place once known for theological conviction, now struggles to define right and wrong at its own Christmas Market.

This is not simply geopolitical confusion. It is spiritual blindness.

The Collapse of Courage in America

From Europe Daniel Cohen turns to the United States, where political corruption and cultural decline reveal similar patterns. He highlights a case in which a Christian school teacher in Kentucky repeatedly abused young boys while school officials looked the other way. According to the report, the school treated the teacher as a victim rather than a danger, a tragic example of the collapse of moral courage.

Cohen connects this with larger failures of leadership. He points to political figures like James Comey and Letitia James, whose selective prosecutions demonstrate a pattern of weaponized justice. He contrasts this with President Trump’s willingness to take bold action, including a Trump Executive Order targeting foreign influence campaigns. Cohen shows how Trump faced endless resistance from entrenched Deep State networks who feared the exposure of their alliances with groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Iranian regime.

He also highlights Ilhan Omar’s recent statement saying she is representing “the people of Somalia” rather than American citizens. This, Cohen says, is the natural result of electing leaders whose loyalties lie with foreign interests over biblical principles.

The madness shows up not only in politics but in culture. Cohen plays footage from the World’s Strongest Woman competition where a biological male dominated female athletes. Women who had trained for years were pushed aside by an ideology that denies biological reality. Cohen says this is what happens when a society abandons truth. The women’s sports crisis is not an isolated problem. It is a symptom of a culture at war with creation itself.

The Church’s Calling in an Age of Chaos

Despite the darkness Daniel Cohen refuses despair. He highlights leaders like Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA Faith who are helping Christians speak with courage and clarity. Erika’s message on forgiveness struck Cohen deeply. She explained that forgiveness does not erase accountability but frees the believer from bitterness. It allows Christians to fight for truth without losing compassion.

Cohen applies this to the war in Israel. He reminds viewers that Israel is not just another country. It is a nation God set apart in Genesis 12 and defended throughout Scripture. Any worldview that refuses to recognize God’s covenant with Israel will falter when interpreting world events. Radical Islam understands this spiritually even if the modern West does not.

Cohen warns that many Western churches have been silent about Islamic Terror, Iran’s aggression, and Hamas’s goals because they fear criticism. He urges pastors to recover biblical conviction. The early Church faced Rome. Modern believers face ideologies built on deception, intimidation, and moral relativism. The Church must stand between culture and collapse.

Yet Cohen also stresses hope. Forgiveness and Faith are powerful weapons when wielded through the Gospel. Christians can expose evil without becoming hateful. They can defend women’s sports without mocking the broken. They can stand with Israel without despising their neighbors. Courage is born from conviction, not rage.

The Hope of the Gospel

Cohen closes with clarity. The enemies of truth are active. Whether through the Muslim Brotherhood, foreign influence from Iran, cultural confusion about identity, or the collapse of discernment in American institutions, the real battle is spiritual. The crisis is not just Radical Islam or political corruption or collapsing borders. The crisis is sin.

Humanity has rebelled against God. No government can heal that wound. No election can rescue a nation that rejects its Creator. But Christ can.

Jesus lived without sin, died for sinners, and rose again so that all who repent and believe may be saved. This is the hope that can revive a nation, restore courage, and lead believers to stand with conviction.

Cohen urges viewers to fill their minds with truth and anchor their worldview in Scripture rather than media spin. Real Life Network exists for this purpose, offering Conservative News, biblical teaching, and Christian worldview content that strengthens believers for a time such as this.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Influence and the Collapse of Western Discernment: Daniel Cohen Sounds the Alarm

Daniel Cohen reveals how the Muslim Brotherhood, geopolitical manipulation, and cultural confusion expose a crisis of discernment in the West and why believers need a biblical worldview.

Politics

The United States is not just divided; it is unraveling. On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network (RLN), Daniel Cohen looks past the noise of politics and online news to uncover the spiritual crisis shaking the nation. Through RLN’s Christian streaming service, Cohen calls believers to see the connection between America’s moral collapse, political corruption, and the war in Israel. What he reveals is not just another opinion. It is the biblical truth behind the headlines, a truth that secular media refuses to confront.

The Illusion of Progress and the Reality of Decay

“What happens when a nation built on the Word of God decides it no longer needs God?” Cohen asks. The answer, he says, is playing out in real time. Political leaders lie with ease. Schools teach children to reject their own identity. Entertainment celebrates sin and mocks faith. Meanwhile, much of the Church stays silent.

Cohen draws parallels between America’s spiritual decay and Israel’s physical battle for survival. While Israel fights against Hamas and its allies, America is fighting to remember who it is. The Israel conflict, he argues, mirrors our own cultural and moral confusion. A society that rejects God does not become free. It becomes enslaved to its idols: power, pleasure, and politics.

He calls this the new religion of the West. The enemies of truth are no longer at the gate. They are in our homes, on our screens, and in our pulpits. This is the normalization of evil, a culture where morality is measured not by Scripture but by emotion.

Media Deception, Political Idolatry, and the Church’s Silence

Cohen exposes how modern politics has become America’s new idol. Both the left and the right now treat their political leaders as saviors and their parties as messiahs. Instead of turning to Scripture, people turn to news streaming platforms and social media feeds designed to fuel fear and division.

He warns that too many Christian leaders have traded truth for comfort. “The Gospel doesn’t fit neatly into party platforms,” he says. “It confronts both sides.” The left preaches progress without God, and the right preaches patriotism without repentance. Both are hollow without Christ.

Cohen ties this to global trends, corruption in Washington, persecution of Christians overseas, and the manipulation of truth in online news. When a nation removes God from its institutions, justice disappears, wisdom dies, and lies become law.

The only cure, he insists, is revival, not political revival but spiritual awakening. America does not need new politicians; it needs new hearts.

A Call to Courage and the Hope of the Gospel

As the episode closes, Cohen offers both warning and hope. History proves that no nation survives once it abandons truth. Babylon, Rome, and every empire that rejected God collapsed from within. America is not immune.

But there is hope, real hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Cohen reminds his audience that salvation does not come from Washington, Hollywood, or any political system. It comes from the cross. Christ alone can heal what politics has broken.

He calls believers to pray for Israel, for America, and for persecuted Christians worldwide. Revival will not begin in newsrooms or statehouses but in hearts surrendered to truth. “The world is on fire,” Cohen says, “but the Gospel is still the water.”

The Hope of the Gospel

Every story of corruption, conflict, or cultural chaos points to humanity’s deeper problem, sin. We have rebelled against a holy God, exchanging His truth for lies. Yet God, rich in mercy, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live without sin, die in our place, and rise again so that all who repent and believe may have eternal life.

That is the real headline behind every broadcast: nations fall, but Christ reigns. Governments fail, but grace endures. America’s only hope is not in saving a nation but in saving souls.

The Lies Are Crumbling: Daniel Cohen Exposes America’s War Against Truth

Daniel Cohen explains how America’s moral collapse, media deception, and global chaos reveal a deeper spiritual crisis and why the only real hope is the Gospel.

On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network (RLN), Daniel opens with what feels like a spiritual diagnosis of the times. While President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu build a coalition of nations — Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan — to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages and accepting peace, the world’s stage erupts in hypocrisy. From the media’s silence on Hamas atrocities to Hollywood’s applause for moral confusion, Daniel reminds us that behind every headline lies a deeper war, not of politics but of principalities. This is spiritual warfare disguised as diplomacy, celebrity activism, and cultural rebellion. Israel faces rockets; America faces lies. Yet both must decide whom they will serve. As Daniel puts it: “You can’t fight for freedom while cashing checks from those who crush it.”

The Illusion of Freedom


When Dave Chappelle claims he can “speak more freely” in Saudi Arabia than in America, Daniel doesn’t respond with outrage, he responds with truth. Saudi Arabia, he reminds us, is a land where women only recently gained the right to drive, where slavery still exists, and where public beheadings remain legal. Yet Chappelle calls that freedom.

Bill Maher, not known for defending Christianity, exposes Chappelle’s blindness: “If you believe that, do a bit on Mohammed.” Daniel uses the moment not to mock but to mourn. America has traded gratitude for grievance. Chappelle, a millionaire made rich by free speech and free markets, now mocks both. Worse, he turns “I stand with Israel” into a coded insult, a signal that he’s been “compromised.”

Freedom without truth is a costume. And much of entertainment is playing dress-up with sin, hiding moral bankruptcy behind applause. The Bible says, “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). In Daniel’s words: “Dave Chappelle has chosen his master, and it’s not truth.”

The Sanctity of Life 

From celebrity compromise, Daniel turns to a victory that actually matters: the closing of America’s largest abortion clinic, a 78,000-square-foot facility in Houston that performed over 10,000 abortions a year. “It was a monument to death,” he says, “and now it’s gone.”

Since 1973, over 63 million unborn children have been killed in the United States. Daniel doesn’t soften the language: “Abortion isn’t healthcare. It’s child sacrifice on the altar of convenience.” But in the same breath, he gives thanks because prayer, persistence, and policy have pushed back the darkness.

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,” God said through Jeremiah. That promise isn’t abstract, it’s personal. Daniel celebrates that promise while exposing the callousness of Planned Parenthood executives caught on tape bartering over baby organs. This is what happens when a culture forgets that life is sacred. Yet where sin increases, grace abounds. The tide is turning, and God is not finished.

Women’s Sports, Children’s Minds, and America’s Soul

Daniel shifts from Houston to headlines shaping family life. The biological male once called Leah Thomas has been permanently banned from women’s competition, a small win for sanity. Daniel applauds women like Riley Gaines, who refused to be silenced. Her courage cost her comfort but preserved truth for the next generation.

Then Daniel turns his eye to the battlefield of the imagination: children’s entertainment. Shows like CoComelon now normalize gender confusion, training toddlers to accept lies before they can spell truth. “This is not innocence, it’s indoctrination,” Daniel warns. Yet the antidote isn’t outrage; it’s discipleship. Christian parents must teach, model, and defend biblical worldview at home, where the next great awakening must begin.

From Gaza to the Gospel: Real Peace Through Christ Alone

Back on the global stage, Daniel examines Trump’s 20-point peace deal with Netanyahu, a plan offering ceasefire, hostage release, and humanitarian aid. But the deeper question remains: What good is peace on paper if hearts remain at war with God?

Hamas delays, deflects, and deceives because rebellion runs deeper than politics. Sin operates the same way, pretending to negotiate, refusing to surrender. Daniel notes that even within Gaza, local families are rising against Hamas tyranny, longing for peace their rulers reject. It’s a mirror of the human heart, trapped, deceived, and desperate for freedom.

The real hope, Daniel insists, is not in presidents or policies, but in a person: Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

The Hope of the Gospel

There is one Creator who made all people in His image and calls every nation to walk in truth. Humanity, from Gaza to Los Angeles, has rebelled against that truth and fallen under sin’s curse. Yet God, rich in mercy, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, to live the life we could not live, die the death we deserved, and rise from the grave, conquering sin and death forever.

Whoever repents and believes in Christ alone is forgiven, reconciled to God, and given new life. That’s not religion, it’s redemption. And that’s the only peace plan that works. “For He Himself is our peace.” (Ephesians 2:14)
