Banks took a pounding from investors after Britain's vote to leave the EU with some major British banks off more than 15% since last Thursday.  The British pound has also reached lows against the US dollar not seen even during the 2008 fiscal meltdown. Also: UK prepares for migrant rush on Channel tunnel; New Haven declares health emergency for heroin overdoses; and UNC declares Christmas vacations a microaggression (while scheduling their winter break over, you know, the holiday that must not be named).

"Change has come to America." President Obama's words could not be more true. This week, we begin a two-part series on just how America has changed as we discuss the new book When Once We Were a Nation. Tom Horn, Cris Putnam, Allie Anderson, and Sharon K. Gilbert join Derek Gilbert to discuss chapters they contributed to this new anthology.

In this second web exclusive interview, Opal Singleton, author of Seduced: The Grooming of America's Teenagers, explains how predators use video games to groom children.

Google is becoming ever more indispensible to Internet users, offering search, video, shopping, virtual reality, virtual personal assistant, GPS mapping, and more.  And the company is rolling out gigabit Internet in select areas -- that's 20 times faster than typical high-speed cable Internet! But with convenience comes a price -- what Google giveth, Google can taketh away.  Sharon and Derek discuss the "Tholian web" aspect of depending so heavily on one company to connect us to the rest of the world. Also: Mosquito bites make virus infections worse, and Comet 67P smells like cat urine.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has named an advisory council of Christian leaders to help him win the evangelical vote in November. This is encouraging -- sort of.  Some of the advisers are linked to the Dominionist New Apostolic Reformation, a group that generally believes Christians are supposed to take over the world. Also: Would-be Trump assassin is in the country illegally; Attorney General Loretta Lynch says our most effective response to violent Islam is "love"; Christian churches in California forced to pay for abortions; Britain votes on Brexit; and it's now official -- Jesus did *not* have a wife.

Josh and Christina delve into the Mandela Effect to see what the truth really is.

In 2011, the US State Department under Hillary Clinton quashed an investigation into a transnational Islamic group linked to the mosque attended by Orlando shooter Omar Mateen. Dr. Timothy Furnish, author of Sects, Lies, and the Caliphate, gives us a primer on Tablighi Jama`at and what he calls the "false dichotomy between Islam in general and terrorism."

Today is World Refugee Day. The United Nations wants you to consider the plight of refugees and sign a petition to "stand with" them.  On the other hand, the US State Department wants the president to launch military strikes against Syria.  Apparently 3 million Syrian refugees (and 6.6 million displaced) aren't enough. Also: With refugees come six diseases that had been nearly wiped out in the US; FBI released edited transcript of Omar Mateen's 911 call; Senate votes to require women to register for the draft; full moon lands on summer solstice for first time since 1967; Noah's Ark replica nearly sinks; and man dies after watching new horror film -- and then his body disappears along with the man transporting it.

On July 16th, as many as a quarter million Christians will crowd the National Mall in Washington, D.C. representing everything from charismatics to Roman Catholics (Pope Francis is scheduled to address the crowd by video link).  Cris Putnam discusses the fine line between fellowship and ignoring essential Christian doctrine in the name of unity.

The Mahdi is an invention of Islamic scholars, cribbed from a 7th century apocryphal Christian book called The Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius. Cris Putnam, co-author of The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade -- and the newest member of the SkyWatchTV staff -- discusses what Muslims are looking for in the end times and how it may affect us.
