Kicking off another brand new hour of the Steve Gruber show--from the heart of America in Studio G--   I'm here telling you the truth and fighting every day from the Foxhole of Freedom--   Here are the 3 Big things you need to know this hour—   Number One— After a brief recovery this week—the markets went into the deep red again—leaving Wall Street jittery and the economy still off balance—   Number Two— And speaking of the economy—Big Lots is in Big trouble—with more than 300 stores closing—and at the same time every Rite Aid in sight is going out—more pain is coming I can tell you that—   Number Three— By picking an old white guy to the left of Bernie Sanders—Kamala Harris has created the most radical ticket in American political history—and triggered a firestorm of controversy for skipping the Governor of Pennsylvania—Josh Shapiro—that everyone—including the Republicans thought would be a far more formidable opponent—

On this edition of Parallax, "America's angriest political cartoonist" Eli Valley joins the show to discuss his upcoming book The Museum of Degenerates: Portraits of the American Grotesque, available for pre-order now from OR Books, and his savage comics/cartoons that offer biting, scathing, acidic critiques of American political life and public figures like Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Shapiro, Joshua Shapiro, Abe Foxman, and many others. Although the focus of this episode isn't on Israel/Palestine and what is happening in Gaza or the West Bank specifically, it certainly lingers in the background and informs the discussion given how Eli's own views on the matter. In this conversation we'll discuss the influence of horror comics like EC Comics' Tales from the Crypt & the pulp-noirs of the 20th century on his cartoon style, Jewish authenticity and the influence of Jewish culture and intellectual thought on Valley's work, the Jewish American radical/progressive tradition, Netanyahu's speech to Congress, the rage that informs Eli's cartoons, right-wing American Jewish public figures aligning themselves with antisemites, the ADL, the role of the grotesque aesthetic in Eli's work, Eli's infamous cartoon lampooning Meghan McCain's appropriation of Jewish identity, Joshua Shapiro comparing pro-Palestinian protesters to the KKK, the Jewish American right-wing vs. Jewish American progressives, misconceptions people have about Eli's work, the disingenuousness of claims that Tim Walz was chosen a Kamala Harris' VP pick over Shapiro because of the antisemitism in the Democratic Party, has Eli paid a price for the approach he's taken to political cartoon (and, if so, has that price been worth it), and much, much more! A sampling of Eli Valley's cartoons. These lampoon, in order, Donald Trump, Ben Shapiro, Joshua Shapiro, and Meghan McCain:

Kicking off another brand new hour of the Steve Gruber show--from the heart of America in Studio G--   I'm here telling you the truth and fighting every day from the Foxhole of Freedom--   Here are the 3 Big things you need to know this hour—   Number One— Elon Musk and his team drop the pretenses and drop the gloves to go after GARM—and its hitting them hard with a lawsuit claiming they have unfairly targeted conservative voices by blocking advertising—   Number Two— Consumer debt in America has topped 1.14 Trillion dollars—and its getting worse—and that's why the markets are going to tank far worse than they have already—   Number Three— By picking a guy to the left of Bernie Sanders—Kamala Harris has created the most radical left wing ticket in American political history—

In this conversation, John speaks with political scientist and international relations scholar Professor John Mearsheimer about the recent war in Ukraine, and the potential for conflict in Taiwan. Mearsheimer argues for what he calls 'offensive realism,' which holds that conflicts between states are driven by the need to maximize power in relation to other states. This is in contrast to the heterodox liberal framework, which Mearsheimer contends was only tenable under the recently ended ‘unipolar' era. Using this framework, Mearsheimer famously predicted the recent Russian invasion, arguing that it was an inevitable outcome of NATO's eastward expansion.

Welcome to episode ninety-eight of New Creation Conversations. This week's conversation is with Kaitlyn Schiess. Kaitlyn is a writer, minister, and doctoral student at Duke Divinity School studying political theology and biblical interpretation. She has written about theology, politics, and culture for Christianity Today, The New York Times, Christ and Pop Culture, RELEVANT, Sojourners, and the Huffington Post. These days she may be best known for her participation on The Holy Post Podcast with Phil Vischer and Sky Jethani. We spend our time discussing her most recent book, The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here (Brazos). In the book, Kaitlyn unpacks the history of America and how we have connected the Bible to politics in the past and explores what lessons and warnings we can glean from those moments. She combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help readers faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues – and to their lives.It is a wonderful and important book, especially in the current moment. I'm really thankful for the work Kaitlyn is doing in this area, and am a little jealous of her ability (at such a young age) to reflect so insightfully on both our history and our moment. I'm a big fan of The Holy Post and was delighted to get a chance to meet Kaitlyn and have this rich conversation. 

America, are you okay?  With former President Donald Trump back in court, the government almost shutting down...again, the speaker being voted out...by his own people, and the Republicans fighting over whether or not they can even get enough support to have a meeting about impeaching President Biden, it seems the US government is having a rough time of late.  In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at all of the concerns about the American Political system right now.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Season 5, Episode 60 of the Chris Abraham Show delves deep into the fractious political climate, addressing issues of weaponizing political ideologies against individuals in positions of power. While the episode carries a strong message advocating for American stability, it also warns against falling into the traps of extremism and unwarranted persecution. Chris Abraham kicks off the show by challenging the perception that he's pro-Trump, clarifying that he's actually "pro-American stability." He fervently argues that being pro-stability doesn't necessarily mean one has to be pro-President or pro-Party. It's about acknowledging that actions have reactions and that compromising the integrity of democratic institutions can have long-lasting repercussions. One of the key points Chris makes is the dangers of "precedent setting." He warns that a witch hunt against a former President, driven by the desire to prevent perceived tyranny, can lead to a cycle of political retribution that does more harm than good. Chris expresses his concern that if such behavior is normalized against one President, it opens the door for similar actions against all political figures—Senators, Congress people, Governors, and even local representatives. Another issue raised is the ethics of weaponizing political persecution. By making it easier to bring down one political figure, you erode trust in the democratic process, which can create a dangerous vacuum of power. Chris contends that the harm such actions can cause will outlast any short-term gains. The episode also engages in a rather controversial discussion around the 'norms and values' that have been traditionally upheld by both parties. Chris criticizes what he sees as the Democrats' moral relativism, claiming that they have gone to alarming lengths, even flirting with war crimes, in the name of causes they deem righteous. Drawing from personal experiences, Chris illustrates how his own confrontational behavior as a youth led him to reconsider the unwritten social contracts that we all abide by. He extrapolates this to the current political climate, indicating that by 'changing the rules of the game,' society at large risks destructive consequences. To put it succinctly, the show is a vehement call for returning to political equilibrium and for avoiding the descent into the chaos of endless political warfare. Chris wraps up by noting that all sides of the political spectrum have to be careful with the precedents they set because they could be on the receiving end sooner than they think. Pro-American Stability: The concept that prioritizes the long-term stability of American society and its democratic institutions. Precedent Setting: The act of establishing a new norm or standard that will influence future actions. Political Retribution: The act of taking revenge against a political figure or party usually by unfair means. Weaponizing Political Persecution: The act of using legal or social mechanisms to unfairly target and diminish a political figure. Moral Relativism: The belief that ethical truths depend on the individuals and groups holding them. Norms and Values: The unwritten rules and ethical guidelines that a society abides by. Political Equilibrium: A state of balance between differing political forces or ideologies. Unwritten Social Contracts: Implicit agreements among the members of a society to cooperate for mutual benefits. Firewall Between Government and Media/Religion: The separation that should exist between the government and other societal institutions to maintain objectivity and fairness. Democratic Process: The means by which decisions are made within a democracy, usually involving elections to choose leaders and to direct policies. Checks and Balances: A system that allows each branch of a government to amend or veto acts of another branch so as to prevent any one branch from exerting too much power. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

EPISODE 238: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) Rudy Giuilani has offered to flip. It is almost certainly NOT against Trump and it may even be a finesse play to distract Jack Smith FROM Trump (and from himself). But that "voluntary meeting" with prosecutors we heard about early in the week turns out to have been a "Proffer Offer" in which he essentially auditioned as a witness. The New York Times also has what – under the proffer protection that whatever he told them IN that interview will not be used against him unless it turns out he was lying – prosecutors asked him about: 1) About a plan to create fake slates of pro-Trump electors. 2)“They focused specifically on the role played in that effort by John Eastman." 3) Quote: “Giuliani also discussed Sidney Powell” 4) “Ms. Powell… also took part in a meeting in the Oval Office in December 2020 during which Trump was presented with a brazen plan, opposed by Giuliani, to use the military to seize control of voting machines and re-run the election.” 5) “Prosecutors further asked Mr. Giuliani about the scene at the Willard Hotel days before the attack on the Capitol” and the group of conspirators gathered there – the Times names Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and Steve Bannon. CBS News, which does NOT use that tell-tale term “proffer,” also says he was asked about Jeffrey “Can I Put My Pants On” Clark? And 6) CBS had one other detail which reads quote: “The special counsel did not indicate that Giuliani is a SUBJECT of the investigation and his team does not believe he is” which then raises the question why the hell would he be trading information to the Special Prosecutor as a potential immunity deal? I'm Rudy and I'm a good citizen, so don't prosecute me? Moreover: time and time again throughout American criminal history – especially American POLITICAL criminal history – key witnesses have changed sides while telling themselves they were not giving up THEIR guy and then once they see how much MORE protection they will gain FROM giving up their guy… they GIVE UP their guy. When it was time to get immunity for his role in Watergate, my friend John Dean's starting point was, according to the giggling reminiscence of his attorney Charlie Shaffer, “We can't talk about The P” – “The P” -- Dean's shorthand for President Nixon. B-Block (19:48) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: She's trying to play to the right of Boebert and Greene by raging against abortions and human stem cells - even saying using some of the latter for research "makes us no better than Nazis." Now her family financial disclosures are out and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's husband owns stock in a medical company that uses human stem cells. And a MAGA "prophet" says he saw an image of Trump in the sky over "Rush Mountmore." (25:19) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Meltdown in RFK Jr Merch-land. Just when you thought he couldn't possibly be connected to foreign interference turns out the image in his merchandise ad is just a photoshopped stock shot of a Russian woman on a Russian street. Nancy Mace and Tommy Tuberville try to take credit for local Biden projects they voted against. And the Jersey Munitions Dealer and OAN guest didn't like those 32 old growth trees that blocked his view of New York City. So he had them cut down. Two problems: they weren't on HIS property and the law there says he now has to replace them and that could cost him nearly $2 Million. C-Block (32:10) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Duke the beautifully-behaved Doberman on death row in Baldwin Park, California. (32:52) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody asked me why TV executives seem like idiots. I said "SEEM?!?" and then instead of trying to explain it to her I just told her the saga of Rick Kaplan, who was president of CNN and then MSNBC and once credited himself for a format change from a year earlier that we did only once and abandoned but he didn't know because he DIDN'T HAVE CABLE IN HIS HOUSE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crooked: The Roaring '20s Tale of a Corrupt Attorney General, a Crusading Senator, and the Birth of the American Political Scandal by Nathan Masters https://amzn.to/436XNXD The riveting, forgotten narrative of the most corrupt attorney general in American history and the maverick senator who stopped at nothing to take him down Many tales from the Jazz Age reek of crime and corruption. But perhaps the era's greatest political fiasco—one that resulted in a nationwide scandal, a public reckoning at the Department of Justice, the rise of J. Edgar Hoover, and an Oscar-winning film—has long been lost to the annals of history. In Crooked, Nathan Masters restores this story of murderers, con artists, secret lovers, spies, bootleggers, and corrupt politicians to its full, page-turning glory. Newly elected to the Senate on a promise to root out corruption, Burton "Boxcar Burt" Wheeler sets his sights on ousting Attorney General Harry Daugherty, puppet-master behind President Harding's unlikely rise to power. Daugherty is famous for doing whatever it takes to keep his boss in power, and his cozy relations with bootleggers and other scofflaws have long spawned rumors of impropriety. But when his constant companion and trusted fixer, Jess Smith, is found dead of a gunshot wound in the apartment the two men share, Daugherty is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, exposing the rot consuming the Harding administration to a shocked public. Determined to uncover the truth in the ensuing investigation, Wheeler takes the prosecutorial reins and subpoenas a rogue's gallery of witnesses—convicted felons, shady detectives, disgraced officials—to expose the attorney general's treachery and solve the riddle of Jess Smith's suspicious death. With the muckraking senator hot on his trail, Daugherty turns to his greatest weapon, the nascent Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose eager second-in-command, J. Edgar Hoover, sees opportunity amidst the chaos. Packed with political intrigue, salacious scandal, and no shortage of lessons for our modern era of political discord, Nathan Masters' thrilling historical narrative shows how this intricate web of inconceivable crookedness set the stage for the next century of American political scandals.

For many outside of the state, the swift expulsions of state Reps. Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson from the Tennessee General Assembly were a shocking display of power by the state's Republican supermajority. But for longtime observers, this was a continuation of patterns that have persisted over recent decades, as African Americans in the state have seen their political influence diminished. In this episode, we explore the shifting electoral and political landscape that has challenged African American political power in Tennessee, and what efforts are underway to reverse this trend. But first, WPLN criminal justice reporter Paige Pfleger gives a preview of the gun dispossession law that will be considered in the General Assembly's special session. Guests: Sekou Franklin, professor of political science at Middle Tennessee State University and co-author of Losing Power: African Americans and Racial Polarization in Tennessee Politics Rep.

The American experiment has long held the curiosity of people around the world, especially for Iain Dale, an award-winning British author, and radio and podcast host, who has edited a new book of essays called “The Presidents: 250 of American Political Leadership.” These essays, written by academics, historians, political journalists and others, bring a fresh angle to each of the men who have served as President of the United States. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, talks with Dale about the challenges and influences of the presidents, from George Washington to Joe Biden; the similarities and differences between the British and US forms of government; and which of the presidents are believed to have been Queen Elizabeth II's favorites.

A 45:00 testimony in a joint committee in Arizona offers compelling accusations of RICO-level corruption that allegedly involves officer holders all the way up to Katie Hobbs, recently installed as governor. While I have no problem believing this level of corruption is happening in America--look no further than Pharma purchasing the Mockingbirds, the CDC, FDA, schools and the military--I don't know what to make of the testimony and cannot judge it fully until I get to see the full report. Revolver News doubts the veracity of the report, but says the reality os probably worse. But, it is absolutely worth considering and analyzing because it would explain so much: why politicians adopt, push and defend demonstrably insane positions on crime, drugs and election security; why it was so easy for supposed “hackers” to steal Covid relief funds from separate countries like Washngton and California. Why government office holders refuse to do any actual investigation into elections that are obviously structured to invite fraud. What does God say? On making false allegations Exodus 20:1616 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.On corruption 2 Peter 2:19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.Galatians 6:8 ESV For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.Bombshell cartel allegations against Katie Hobbs may be false… but the reality is much darker…Judge Rejected Congressman's Bid to Shield Emails From DOJArizona's election have been rigged with help of cartels' money and Katie Hobbs should be in prison not be running the state.

From the “Southern Strategy” to the civil rights movement, we're surfacing what is true about our nation's past, and what is propaganda masquerading as history. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made headlines again after striking down the College Board's Advance Placement course on African American Studies in the state. Simultaneously, the College Board was making changes to the curriculum that some critics claim, omits key details from the history. Schools are common sites of cultural provocation and a key component of the ongoing history wars. To help explain the myths of our nation's past and who is telling them, host Kai Wright speaks with Kevin M. Kruse, professor of history at Princeton University and co-author of the book "Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past." They discuss how political misunderstandings both old and new, influence American democracy. The True Story of Critical Race Theory (10/11/2021) Is racism a permanent fixture of society? Host Kai Wright is joined by Jelani Cobb, staff writer for The New Yorker, to unravel the history of Derrick Bell's quest to answer that question and how it led to our present debate over critical race theory.  “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET.

In this wide-ranging and hard-hitting interview, first aired in January 2022, pioneering American writer, activist, and Marxist environmentalist, Mike Davis speaks out about the dangers of this moment, politically, which he sees as similar to the late 1930s, and the relentless environmental destruction of the planet, and growing nuclear threats. Disappointed by the loss of momentum for street politics and protests in the US, following the inspiration of Black Lives Matter, Mike worries that protests have become predominantly a franchise of the far right, at a time of existential threats where young people need to take action and speak out. Mike is harshly critical of the way in which Western governments have dealt with Covid, drawing parallels with multilateral approaches to dealing with the climate crisis, particularly the prevailing ideology that finance capitalism is the only force that can save the world environmentally.  Mike Davis was a pioneering American writer, political activist, urban theorist, and historian, best known for his seminal analysis of power and social class in his native Southern California. Over many decades, Davis created a powerful body of work investigating a wide range of issues from urban development and globalisation to the impact of extreme weather systems, the growth of slums, pandemics, and the environment—all underpinned by a profound critique of capitalist social relations and a deep concern for the environment and all kinds of injustice. He was a 1996–1997 Getty Scholar at the Getty Research Institute and received a MacArthur Fellowship Award in 1998. He was the author of some two dozen works of fiction and non-fiction and won the Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction in 2007.

On a consequential day of primaries, the last vestiges of two multi-generational American dynasties are facing an imminent demise at the hands of fed-up Republican Voters—Liz Cheney in Wyoming and Lisa Murkowski in Alaska. Ahead of the vote, Charlie unpacks the state of those two races as well as the contest to become Pennsylvania's next governor. First, Charlie welcomes RAV News National Correspondent Ben Bergquam live from Wyoming where voters are showing up in droves to take back the power in Wyoming and clean up the mess Dick Cheney started many decades ago. Next, Charlie is joined by America-First Gubernatorial Candidate Doug Mastriano from Pennsylvania, who has been outspent 16 to 1 and is being excommunicated by the Republican establishment in his own state, to discuss the state of his uphill battle against a radical Democrat in the Keystone State. And to close out the show, Kelly Tshibaka—the Trump-Endorsed Candidate for US Senate from Alaska comes on to explain the most confusing electoral system in America and why she must come out on top if we want to truly flip the balance of the Senate and derail the Democrats' radical agenda.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
