In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

Taking a break from the usual to talk about a topic few of us know enough about - Civics. Per my office buddy Chat GPT, "Civics is all about understanding how government works, how people participate, and how decisions (laws and more) get made". Knowing the basics is valuable in understanding the state of the beauty industry's regulatory landscape... as well as everyday life. Note: this is not a political episode. I stayed way clear of that. Hope you enjoy. :-)*Note: this episode was published originally as #107

David Graham author of The Project: How Project 2025 is Changing America, explains how Project 2025 seeks not smaller government, but a more obedient one—politicizing civil service, gutting regulation, and embedding a Trump-aligned worldview across federal agencies. He discusses how its authors blend sincere constitutional theory with radical institutional overhaul. Plus, does the Pope's MAGA-leaning brother demystify the Papacy?

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of profound change and potential upheaval in the American governmental landscape becomes increasingly clear. This initiative, spearheaded by a coalition of conservative organizations, aims to reshape the federal government in ways that are both far-reaching and deeply controversial.At its core, Project 2025 is rooted in the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to centralize greater control over the government in the White House. Kevin Roberts, a key figure in this movement, has explicitly stated that all federal employees should answer directly to the president, a notion that challenges the traditional independence of various federal agencies.One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to dismantle the autonomy of agencies such as the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission. These institutions, which have long operated with a degree of independence to ensure impartiality and accountability, would be brought under direct presidential control. This shift is not merely administrative; it represents a fundamental alteration in the balance of power within the federal government.The plan also includes drastic changes within the Department of State. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of Project 2025, advocates for the dismissal of all current leadership roles before January 20, 2025. She intends to replace these positions with ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles, bypassing the need for Senate confirmation. Skinner's rationale is that many State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president. When questioned about specific instances where State Department employees obstructed Trump policies, Skinner admitted she could not provide any examples, highlighting the ideological rather than practical basis of these proposed changes.The scope of Project 2025 extends far beyond the restructuring of federal agencies. It encompasses a wide array of policy proposals that could have significant impacts on various aspects of American life. For instance, the project suggests abolishing the Department of Education, slashing climate regulations, banning abortion pills, and implementing mass deportations. These proposals are not merely policy tweaks but represent a wholesale transformation of the federal government's role in society.The implications for journalism are also noteworthy. Project 2025 includes measures that would make it easier for the government to seize journalists' emails and phone records, and even considers expelling reporters from the White House press corps. While the First Amendment protects against the outright shutdown of critical news outlets, these proposals erode the boundaries between the government and the press, potentially chilling free speech and investigative reporting.The potential consequences of these changes are far-reaching and have sparked significant concern among experts and the public alike. The Center for Progressive Reform is tracking the executive action proposals under Project 2025, highlighting the devastating consequences for workers, the environment, and public health. For example, the dismantling of climate regulations could lead to unchecked environmental degradation, while the abolition of the Department of Education could undermine the nation's educational system.Despite the controversy, Project 2025's proponents argue that these changes are necessary to streamline government operations and align them more closely with conservative ideals. However, critics see this as a power grab that undermines the checks and balances inherent in the U.S. system of government.As we approach the critical milestone of January 20, 2025, the fate of Project 2025 hangs in the balance. The coming months will be pivotal in determining whether these sweeping changes will become a reality. The American public, policymakers, and the judiciary will all play crucial roles in shaping the future of federal governance.In reflecting on Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative is not just a set of policy proposals but a vision for a fundamentally different America. Whether this vision aligns with the democratic principles and institutional safeguards that have defined the country remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: the outcome of Project 2025 will have lasting implications for the structure, function, and values of the U.S. government.

In this conversation, we sit down with John D. Wilsey, Professor of Church History and Philosophy at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Senior Fellow at the Center for Religion, Culture, and Democracy, to tackle the urgent and often contentious topic of religious freedom in America. Drawing from his forthcoming book, Religious Freedom: A Conservative Primer (William B. Eerdmans, 2025), Wilsey examines how conservatives have historically understood religious freedom, how those views have evolved, and why the gap between past and present perspectives matters in today's culture, and how it is the bedrock of American Government. Wilsey addresses issues at the heart of this debate: How has the conservative understanding of religious freedom shifted, and what are the consequences of that shift?
