In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot continue their reflections on Ezra Institute’s time at AmericaFest, focusing on Dr. Boot’s interview with Lucas Miles, Director of TPUSA Faith. They discuss the need for cultural and political engagement to be rooted in the Church and shaped by a robust biblical worldview, emphasizing the Lordship of Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the reality of human depravity. The conversation highlights why worldview formation—not issue-by-issue activism—is essential for lasting cultural reformation, and why unity around primary Christian doctrine matters in this moment. Ultimately, the episode calls Christians to think and live Christianly in every area of life by answering the fundamental question of our time: Who is King?

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Both students garnered much from the four-day event. Wojtaszek recalled that, “Because of what happened (Charlie Kirk's assassination) there are so many more people who now sort of see what Charlie saw and it's allowing people to get out there and grow their love for our country even more.” Shelly recalls, “There was just this feeling, just the...
This week on the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen review Russell Brand’s remarks at TPUSA’s AmericaFest and reflect on what they reveal about public faith, repentance, and cultural renewal. They discuss the twin dangers Christians often fall into with celebrity conversions—either uncritically platforming new believers or cynically dismissing their professions of faith—and argue for a biblically grounded middle road marked by discernment, prayer, and patience. The conversation highlights Brand’s emphasis on repentance, his critique of statism, and his growing vision for Christian culture that avoids both pietistic retreat and forced political triumphalism. Ultimately, the episode points beyond personalities to the real hope of cultural reformation: transformed people, faithful discipleship, and the advancing kingdom of Christ.

Allie interviews apologist and author Dr. Frank Turek at AmericaFest 2025!

This conversation took place live at AmericaFest during my interview on The Watchmen Brief with RC Williams, where we addressed the growing confusion surrounding the Seven Mountains message. I respond to critics, explain what the framework actually teaches, and show why Scripture consistently places God's people at the gates of influence throughout history. When the misunderstandings are cleared away, it becomes obvious that this message is not about control or domination but about faithful stewardship and advancing God's Kingdom in every sphere of culture.

Allie sits down with both Bryce Crawford and Riley Gaines at AmericaFest 2025. Bryce, who boldly shares the gospel with everyone — from KKK members to furries, politicians to the homeless — reminds us that every soul needs Jesus. He opens up about his dramatic conversion at 17, when a supernatural encounter with Christ ended years of depression and suicidal thoughts. Bryce also shares how he went from timid “Jesus loves you” street evangelism to confidently proclaiming the full gospel and the lessons he's learned in five years of fearless outreach. Plus Allie has a special conversation with Riley, who just welcomed her baby girl — and how motherhood has intensified her fight for fairness in women's sports, shifted her worldview, and fueled her unapologetic courage. Raw testimonies, gospel urgency, and hope that no one is beyond redemption.

In this episode, Joe Boot, Michael Thiessen, and Nate Wright reflect on an unexpected invitation to AmericaFest and why it became a significant cultural moment. From conversations at Turning Point USA to public engagement at a conference of tens of thousands, they consider what these opportunities reveal about the state of the Church today. They discuss Joe’s interview with Steve Deace, the problem of a Christianity that asks “how little can we do,” and the urgent need for Christian maturity. The episode explores the distinction between the church and the Kingdom of God, the dangers of privatized faith, and how believers should respond when church institutions fail to equip God’s people for cultural engagement. This conversation sets the stage for a multi-week reflection on AmericaFest, cultural responsibility, and advancing the Kingdom of God in our time.

Just days before Christmas, Vivek Ramaswamy once again chose the holiday season to denigrate America, its culture, and its people, repeating his execrable performance of December 26, 2024. This time, however, Vivek denigrated America, its culture, and its people not in a lengthy X post, but in a lengthy speech at AmericaFest, a purportedly conservative political event put on by Turning Point USA, the organization established by the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk. The message Vivek sent to America and Americans? There's nothing exceptional about being an American, literally anybody can do it, including billions of third-worlders, and America should simply accept that any recent third-world arrival onto America's shores who mouths a few American ideals is as entitled to the legacy and resources of America as is any other American citizen—at the cost, of course, of those scarce resources now no longer being available to those other American citizens. The argument conflates the notions of technical or paperwork American citizen, on the one hand, and cultural American citizen, on the other, conflates the abilities and interests of third-world versus first-world cultures, and cheapens the deeply-loved notion of American as something exceptional and precious that was founded and built and sustained by the blood and sacrifice of generations of American forbears, rather than by billions of foreign nationals. I, for one, object to Vivek's cheapening of America, its culture, and its people, I object to culturally Indian Vivek Ramaswamy seeking to govern over culturally American citizens, and I object to the infestation of America by tens of millions of third-worlders, including far too many millions of purportedly “legal” Indians.
Both 2020 and 2022 were bruising defeats for MAGA, for America, and Charlie. In his CK Exclusives interview at AmericaFest, Steve Bannon talks about how those losses were actually providential, allowing for the far more effective 2024 comeback that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Steve also discusses Charlie's role in staffing up the new administration and his belief that the Gaza War will lead to a new "two-state solution" for Israel/Palestine, then takes a few questions from CK Exclusives members.

Jimmy and documentary filmmaker Ryan Matta criticize TPUSA's recent AmericaFest event, highlighting Tim Dillon's commentary that Erika Kirk's flashy, Hollywood-style entrance and early endorsement of JD Vance felt staged, elitist, and disconnected from everyday people. They accuse Ben Shapiro of influencing TPUSA toward a pro-Israel direction and allege growing internal tension at the organization. The two also discuss the multiple claims and suspicious allegations surrounding Charlie Kirk's death, donor influence, and TPUSA's future, framed as a hostile takeover driven by powerful interests. Overall, the video portrays TPUSA as shifting from grassroots authenticity to a choreographed spectacle driven by wealthy donors, media manipulation, and political positioning. Plus segments on Candace Owens getting the last laugh at her haters' failed attempts to debunk the Ft. Huachuca story and Briahna Joy Gray's suspension from Instagram for telling the truth about Israel. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!
Reports of an intense backlash at TPUSA's AmericaFest conference were not exaggerated, as younger conservatives in particular questioned Israel policy, foreign aid, and the historical 1967 USS Liberty incident, challenging Ben Shapiro's dismissal of it as "irrelevant." Jimmy highlights a viral exchange where an attendee confronts Shapiro, argues that the attack was deliberate, and frames the issue as putting "America first" rather than prioritizing Israel. TPUSA leadership and conservative media figures have been accused of suppressing criticism of Israel, while portraying a generational shift inside the conservative movement toward skepticism of U.S.–Israel relations. Jimmy also amplifies claims from USS Liberty survivors and critics who dispute official findings, positioning the debate as part of larger infighting over Zionism, foreign policy, censorship, and influence within conservative politics. Plus segments on Megyn Kelly accusing Shapiro of amplifying antisemitism, Steve Bannon going scorched earth on Shapiro and accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson's defense team's curious ties to the Turning Point USA team. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a series of well-wishing holiday phone calls to Jimmy from George Clooney, Kash Patel, JD Vance and more!
Something powerful was happening at AmericaFest, and it revealed more than headlines could ever capture. I unpack the spiritual significance of what was said and felt in the room, including the moment JD Vance declared that America has been and will remain a Christian nation by the grace of God. What emerges is a clear picture of where God is stirring courage, conviction, and clarity for the days ahead, and why this moment calls believers to stand with confidence rather than fear.

AmericaFest wasn't just another conservative gathering—it exposed deep fractures over truth, loyalty, and discernment that the movement can't afford to ignore. I break down the explosive clashes surrounding Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and the dangerous pull of conspiracy thinking that is confusing a rising generation. What's really at stake here isn't personalities or platforms, but whether believers can separate conviction from distraction in a moment that demands clarity. If you want to understand what's actually happening beneath the headlines, this conversation pulls the curtain back. Podcast Episode 1977: Lance Covers the AmericaFest Food Fight | don't miss this!

The monologue today focuses on the weird and warped goings on at the Turning Point USA's first AmericaFest without Charlie Kirk. Spoiler alert: it reveals ideological rifts within the conservative movement. He also talks about CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss who decided to shelf a planned “60 Minutes” story titled “Inside CECOT,” thereby creating an uproar inside CBS. But the story was leaked to Canada and the report has reached a worldwide audience anyway. Next, John speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider about the horrific shooting at Brown University where Corey teaches. They discuss the latest confirmed developments in the shooting—and the parallel storm of disinformation on X that spread during the investigation: false accusations against a transgender student and a manufactured narrative about motive. They break down how these claims circulated, why they're dangerous, and how to separate verified reporting from rumor—without naming private individuals or repeating unverified allegations. Then, he welcomes back Rhonda Hansome to discuss the latest stolen Venezuelan oil tanker and the latest kidnapped victims of ICE cruelty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
As 2025 comes to a close, political attention is already shifting to the 2028 presidential race, with early moves from both parties signaling what's ahead. At Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, newly named CEO Erika Kirk endorsed Vice President JD Vance. Meanwhile, Democrats, emboldened by some recent electoral wins, are floating familiar names as potential 2028 contenders. Republican strategist and Targeted Victory chief communications officer Matt Gorman joins the Rundown to break down the early jockeying. Gas prices have been falling, with drivers paying about 25 cents less per gallon than when President Trump returned to office. However, electricity bills are rising for many Americans. Senior energy analyst & and FOX Business Network contributor, Phil Flynn, joins the Rundown to forecast what could happen to gas and energy prices in 2026 and how the President's policies may impact those costs.

On the Epstein matter, the current DOJ is not just putting its thumb on the scale for Trump. It's his defense team. Make no mistake: The top two officials at the Justice Department are executing Trump's wishes to cover-up the victims' statements and the details about Epstein's 2008 sweetheart deal. It's the president's cover-up, and the mainstream media needs to call it for what it is. And over at CBS's "60 Minutes," Bari Weiss wants Trump to know she's on the administration's side as well. Meanwhile, Vance made clear at AmericaFest that he's cool with literal Nazis in the MAGA coalition as he readies for his 2028 run. Plus, Kushner and Witkoff are still doing Putin's bidding, the governor of Louisiana is adding the (pretend) invasion of Greenland to his portfolio, and Tim reads from the Monday Mailbag.

The people running the Republican grassroots are nativist populists, and it's a space where opposition to Israel thrives, along with a heaping serving of antisemitism. Candace's wild theories about the Charlie Kirk assassination has had a big impact among the young who get their news from TikTok and Instagram. And JD—who is the top-billed speaker at this year's AmericaFest—is sending signals that he's absorbing the nativist and anti-Zionist views among right-wing influencers like Tucker. Plus, Susie Wiles dishes on Trump and other top figures, and Stephen Miller's wife is running a North Korea-style podcast with some of the biggest names in the administration—but with virtually no audience.
