ONE DAY CLOSER with Mark & Dave

What a difference a week makes!  We just finished ringing in the new year and already we've learned of a nationwide institutional syndicate Somalian Fraud scheme on the American taxpayer that could reach $18 billion in theft and that's just Minnesota! Trump has frozen over $10 billion in welfare payments to five other states until the investigations shed more light of the depth and breat...

Happy New Year everyone!  Thanks for joining both Mark and I today for our first show of season four.  It’s hard to believe we’ve posted just over three years of content and today we enter year four. This episode is going to kick off the new year with a perspective that will bring forth health, healing and prosperity, guaranteed.   All we have to do is simply feed the right wolf. So sit back and j...

Join us today as we highlight the highlights of 2025, celebrate Trump the Fixer, thank Musk the Accelerant for the DOGE contribution and look forward to the new year of Consequences and Accountability. TOP THREE ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1.  The election of Donald J Trump confirms that Americans aren’t crazy.  They voted for a FIXER 2.  Elon Musk unleashed DOGE - The first American Deep state Audit in Decad...

Welcome to a special refreshed repeat Christmas show from last year.  Noting that our audience listenership has doubled in cities since last year, we thought it might be nice to share some Christmas joy with our new listeners. So today, Mark will share some adult stories about the history of Christmas trees, the Elf on the Shelf and Ol' Saint Nick. Dave brings a story about the symbolism in a...

Today Dave tells a story about how he and his wife "walked through Christmas" and opted not "to run through it." As long as we are pondering things, have you ever considered how challenging it is to prepare a show about Christmas and the meaning of Christmas…knowing that in nearly half of the countries that this show is heard in…the religious majority doesn’t even share my beli...

Today we will be showcasing a few interviews we saw on Newsmax that need to be shared everywhere. The first is an interview with Ted Nugent by Carl Higbie of NewsMax on American Values and Islamic Infiltration in American. The second clip is an interview with Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture by Rob Schmidt of Newsmax.  You will be blown away by the level and amount of fraud uncovered by th...

Today Mark has seven point blank questions he puts to Dave.  Join us for some serious straight talk about what to expect over the next 12 months. Here's a sampling: 1.  Why has Trump resisted releasing the Epstein files, but has now flipped on this issue?  Is Trump hiding something?  2.  How is the economy really doing?   3.  Many are saying a huge crash is coming.  Buffet and Dalio reportedl...

Today, Mark and I will attempt to share our weather forecast with you, because we believe the winds are changing. Last week we all woke up to a Marxist Communist Muslim, who only became an American citizen less than 10 years ago, has no work experience but now is the Mayor of  NYC?   How did the largest city and financial hub of the world with the largest population of Jewish Americas allow this t...

Today we will venture into the dark forest in search of truth surrounding Church doctrine, traditions and rituals.  The "nonessential" differences we'll overlook and put to the side, but there are a few that need to be discussed.   Paramount among them is how the Catholics view Mother Mary.  Join us today for an engaging discussion into doctrines and beliefs as we match them up with...

 So if you’ve been joining us the past few weeks, we took a little off road excursion and turned up the mountain to inquire about angels.  In episode 279 we took a look at why are there some many references in the Bible about angels visiting God’s people and what could we learn from what they were told .  Why do scholars refer to these events as ordinary angelic messengers?  If they are so ordinar...

Last week's show was all about sharing that angels DID speak to regular folks back in Bible times and I asked why don’t they do that today?   DO angels speak to folks today and if they do how would I recognize their voice?  Do they all sound the same?  Do all angels have the same manner of communicating their message?   Do they have different gifts or specialties? What are some of the attribu...

 Can you read the signs of our times today?  In the midst of the tear-gas can you see the chaos building?  Have you seen the polls that suggest murdering political opponents is considered acceptable?  Have you heard that there is a price or rewards offered for causing trouble?  But on the other side of the street, you hear stories about revivals cropping up everywhere, from Australia to the UK.  T...

Have you ever suggested a "course correction" to God?  Today Mark will share a passage of scriptures in Matthew 16 where Peter tries to do just that, course-correct Jesus.  Jesus had just given Peter the keys to the kingdom, because Peter correctly answered the question "whom do people say I am?"   But just five verses later, Jesus calls Peter Satan.  Same conversation, same da...

Today we are taking a break from the news.  September was a tough month in light of Charlie Kirk's assassination, remembering 911, Charlies Memorial, it was a heavy month. So today we are going to step back and find some encouragement in a book called Legacies of Valor: Traits of Character - The Noble & the notable. If your new to our show, I wrote Legacies of Valor back in 2011 and it&ap...

We closed last weeks  show promising to bring solutions for going forward.  And that’s what today’s show is all about.    Our Premise:  Reprimands have not proven to be a deterrent.  Serious consequences and pro-active common sense actions are.  Most of these ideas or solutions are actions We The People can do.  Not everything can be delegated to the government. -  The case for free speech, civil...

Today we honor a fearless and uncompromising warrior.  A warrior for Christ and a warrior for civil debate.  Charlie Kirk stepped out of the boat and the ripple grew into a Tsunami Revival.  A movement that will change the course of history. In todays show we'll cover the following topics: - The Tsunami Revival of Charlie Kirk - Marks perspective of why God allowed Charlies departure - Daves...

Welcome to One Day Closer with Mark and Dave, where we are rekindling a spirit of hope and truth into today’s discussion. This past week, on September 10,2025, America and the world lost a voice to be reckoned with.  A voice dedicated to open civil discourse in search of connection and understanding. It’s impossible to highlight the life and mission of Charlie Kirk, husband, father and advocate fo...

Tomorrow marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11, where we'll pause to honor the memories of the innocent men and women, moms and dads, students and children that were simply starting their day…commuting to work, settling in for a productive day on the job.   But their day came to an end at 8:46 am est, when Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the North Tower of the World Trade Center , betwe...

A special thanks to the Newsmax network, Rob Finnerty, Rob Schmidt and the entire team at Newsmax for boldly and honestly sharing the truth about the challenges facing our youth, trans, gay, bi or straight. Today's program highlights what we know from the Minneapolis Trans mass shooting of this past week.  We have the manifesto from the shooter. We will discuss how we are failing as a nation...

Opening clip accredited to Newsmax team, guest host Ed Henry, Finnerty show Eds monologue was captioned the Death of the Democratic Party.  I prefer to refer to it as the glorious passing of a nasty bowel movement!  The radical democrats killed their own party.  They need wellness checks on Dems who are showing severe mental instability. CNN and Wallstreet polls reported this week that over 4 mill...

Many are saying that what we've witnessed over the last 200 days of Trumps Presidency is nothing short of unprecedented, historical performance of any presidency in our lifetime. Join us today for a quick recap of many of Trumps accomplishments over the past seven months that have significantly influenced American politics, American media, education, law and order, global alliances, global co...

Last week I put a short show together asking you, our listeners, for some feedback on our podcast.  As I mentioned in that episode, Mark and I launched One Day Closer officially in October 2022…under the call of Ezekiel 33, where we learned the importance of the call to become a Watchmen of the Wall.  Which is to say, be engaged with Life.  If you see danger on the horizon, sound the alarm!  “Dang...

What’s the meaning behind our shows Title…One Day Closer?  The simple answer is…Everyday we wake up with breath, we are all one day closer to either finishing our race here on earth, well or poorly.  Not to sound morbid, but none of us are guaranteed our next day or our next breath here on Earth.  Our bodies and our internal workings are an amazing self-contained tapestry of Gods handiwork.   Some...
