Can faith sustain courage and openness in a polarized democracy? Former Ohio governor and presidential candidate John Kasich reflects on faith, fear, character, and public life amid deep political polarization and religious tension in America.“There is a certain comfort in knowing you have somebody who's always in your corner.”In this conversation with Evan Rosa, Kasich reflects on personal faith shaped by tragedy, the search for purpose, and why character matters more than ideology in leadership. Together they discuss religious faith in American life, his experience running in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, voting on character over beliefs, firm political commitments, open-minded perspective taking, his vision of a life worth living, and before the end of this conversation, you'll find out his favorite Metallica song.Episode Highlights“There is a certain comfort in knowing you have somebody who's always in your corner.”“You can be firm while at the same time looking at a point of view of somebody who's diametrically opposed to you.”“I look for character. I don't look for what somebody thinks about the Book of Revelation.”“Faith informs the way I think about things, but it doesn't spell out what I'm going to do.”“If you begin to work together to solve a problem locally, it can actually create friendship.”About John KasichJohn Kasich is a former U.S. congressman, two-term governor of Ohio, and presidential candidate with more than four decades of experience in public service, media, and civic leadership. First elected to the Ohio State Senate at age 26, he later served 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives before becoming governor in 2011. Kasich has authored six books exploring politics, faith, leadership, and civic responsibility, including his most recent, Heaven Help Us: How Faith Communities Inspire Hope, Strengthen Neighborhoods, and Build the Future. He is known for emphasizing character, dignity, and community-based solutions over ideological rigidity. Kasich frequently speaks on leadership, faith in public life, and democratic renewal, and continues to engage across political and cultural divides in pursuit of common purpose.

In part two of Dan's conversation with political scientist Yascha Mounk, the two discuss identity politics, its growing influence on the American left, and the danger this trend poses to pluralistic societies.They examine why identity politics is so seductive, how it reshapes government, schools, and civic  institutions, and why Mounk believes it ultimately undermines both individuality and democratic cohesion. The conversation also turns inward, exploring Jewish identity: where it strengthens pluralism, where it becomes politicized, and why Jews, in particular, should be cautious about abandoning universal principles for group-based power.In this episode...- Why liberalism today feels unrecognizable- What identity politics is and why it's so appealing- How universalism gave way to group-based politics- When inclusion turns into segregation- Jewish identity and the limits of identity-based politics- Why free speech remains essential for a pluralistic democracyFrom the episode:- Listen to Yascha's podcast The Good Fight- Subscribe to Persuasion- Purchase Yascha's book, The Identity TrapMore Ark Media:Want to join Ark Media?

Is Antizionism the new common denominator of the left? Political scientist Yascha Mounk, founder of Persuasion and author of The Identity Trap, joins Dan to discuss whether the rise of Zohran Mamdani is indicative of a growing connection between socialist causes and hostility towards Jews. Drawing on his personal history, Mounk explains the different iterations of Antisemitism on the left and discusses with Dan whether it is categorically different from what we're increasingly seeing on the American right.The conversation went longer than normal, so stay tuned for part 2 in which Dan and Yascha discuss how identity politics consumed America and Jews should be wary of falling into the same trap.In this episode...- Yascha's political upbringing- The history of Antizionism on the left - What would Mamdani compromise on?- Is the IHRA's definition of Antisemitism dangerous to free speech? - The Western left's silence on repression in IranThis episode was sponsored by Maimonides Fund: Sign up for the SAPIR journal at sapirjournal.org/CallMeBackFrom the episode:- Listen to Yascha's podcast The Good Fight- Subscribe to Persuasion- Purchase Yascha's book, The Identity TrapMore Ark Media:Want to join Ark Media?

Is America really on the brink — or is something deeper happening beneath the headlines?In this episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, Doug breaks down the difference between panic and pressure, and why rising anxiety is often a sign of shifting legitimacy, not societal collapse. Drawing from American history and constitutional design, this episode explores how authority, power, and consent interact when institutions escalate and narratives intensify.You'll hear a strategic analysis of why “inevitability” language appears during periods of political and global realignment, how media urgency shapes public perception, and why citizen engagement and elections function as the constitutional pressure valves of a republic.This is a calm, educational look at accountability, sovereignty, and civic responsibility — and what history suggests comes next when a nation reassesses who truly holds power.Support the show

Send us a textWelcome to Beach Talk with Betsey Newenhuyse — where we sift through the chaos and try to make sense of what's really going on. From the heavy-handed ICE “invasion” of Minneapolis, where thousands of federal agents' enforcement surge has sparked protests after the shootings and the unnecessary death of Renee Nicole Good. We unpack the video evidence, no hearings, and public outrage over federal power in local streets. Connecting the dots, we'll talk about Tom Homan's $50K bounties, Kristi Noem's cowboy-hat politics, then on to Pete Buttigieg at the Detroit Auto Show, and Rick Wilson's most recent commentary - “Stopping vs. Ending.” From Jerome Powell and the Fed, America First abroad, Venezuela's leadership, Nobel chatter around María Corina Machado, to gaudy gold trim in Mar-a-Lago — it's all here. SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Mike Lomas, Mike Sperrazza, and Mike Hoeflich unload on political corruption, insider trading, and the massive fraud schemes draining taxpayer dollars across blue states. From lawmakers enriching themselves with privileged information to whistleblowers being threatened while billions are laundered overseas, the guys break down why accountability never seems to apply in Washington. They also tackle voter ID, term limits, DOJ failures, media hypocrisy, and the widening divide between working Americans and political elites.

We're continuing from 11 Nov 2025, discussing the first subsection in his next chapter, chapter 5 (The Relation of Ideological Tyranny to the Authoritarian State), called "Revelation 13 as a Model of Ideological Tyranny" based on the insights from a master observer of both types of totalitarian socialisms on the Left, national socialism -- sometimes called fascism -- and the kind of socialism that the Communists in East Germany and Russia had during the 1900s, during the life of Dr. Thielicke. (USSR meant Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). We go from pp. 53 thru the top of 62. (See 11 Nov 2025, "Ideologies as Idolatry" for the last episode in this series). Our return guest today on The Republican Professor Podcast is the former professor of Theology at the University of Hamburg in West Germany, Dr. Helmut Thielicke, Ph.D., D.Theol. (Philosophy and Theology). Professor Thielicke once again joins us through his teaching in his Theological Ethics, Vol. 2: Politics. My copy was purchased at Old Capitol Books (new location) in Monterey, California, across from Nick the Greek restaurant on Alvarado Street (their old location was 559 Tyler, Monterey, CA, across from the Peet's Coffee and was formerly Book Haven for many years), and is a hard copy published in 1969 by Fortress Press and edited by William H. Lazareth. Thielicke died before he was able to come on to The Republican Professor Podcast. We thank Fortress Press for making the book available. Check out their catalogue for a full listing of their very interesting titles, and buy one. Get a copy of this for yourself and following along in our transformative, performative reading of it as we make fair use on his insights, with fresh scholarly commentary from me, and allow it to shape our understanding of American Politics. This is part 10 in a series on The Republican Professor Podcast, an introduction to theological reflection on American government. Here, we continue the topic of the nature and power of "ideology" in Communist Socialist and National Socialist (sometimes called by others fascistic socialism/fascism). Our very special guest today is, once again, the esteemed and long-time Professor of Theology at the University of Hamburg, Helmut Thielicke. And I've invited Professor Thielicke to join us today through my transformative, performative reading (with my scholarly commentary upon) and fair use of his teaching on this topic in his magisterial "Theological Ethics, Volume 2: Politics." My copy of the book was published in 1969 by Fortress Press. Please buy a copy of the book and follow along with our study of this material. Please, please support your brick and mortar used book dealers as well. Professor Thielicke died before we were able to invite him in person as a guest on the podcast. Thanks to Fortress Press, the book is still in print and would be a valuable addition, indeed, to your personal library. Please support the work of Fortress Press and buy the book, and check out the other selections that they carry, as well. The Republican Professor Podcast is a pro-deeply-conversing-on-the-theological-aspects-of-the-nature-of-government podcast. Therefore, welcome Professor Helmut Thielicke !

A new Gallup survey reveals a political reality the media has long ignored: independents are now the largest group in American politics. Michael Smerconish breaks down the data showing a record 45% of Americans reject both major parties. He explains why past Gallup headlines missed the real story, why this shift matters for elections and governance, and whether younger voters will stay independent or eventually choose sides. Plus, listener calls from across the country on what it really means to be politically independent in today's polarized climate. Original air date 13 January 2026.

The year is 1992, the film is Bob Roberts... a political mockumentary satire. The director, first-time filmmaker (and star) Tim Robbins. And it's also the first film role for a lovable gent named Jack Black. We dig into the parallels between Bob Roberts and present day American politics and consider the right wing folk songs that were, at one point, comedic in their absurdity. Plus, we get into it with the MouthGarf Report, and play a nice round of I See What You Did There.Additional Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Robertshttps://www.cracked.com/article_40869_when-tim-robbins-tried-and-failed-to-be-the-most-controversial-snl-host.htmlPlease give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts! Want to ask us a question?

In just a few days, New York City, the world's business capital, will have a new mayor, Zoran Momdani. The self-described democratic socialist platform includes free buses, universal childcare, and city-run grocery stores. Prominent Democrats hesitated to support Momdany in New York City's mayoral race. Since his victory, Republicans nationwide have been raising red flags about his policies. Some of these ideas may appeal to residents of one of America's most expensive cities. However, critics fear his use of class warfare tactics and promotion of reliance on the government may harken back to the early stages of other failed or even destructive political movements in world history. FOX Business' Lydia Hu speaks with Dr. Eric Patterson, the President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C., to discuss his organization, the dangers of ‘class warfare' rhetoric and policies, and why he fears Mamdani's popularity could signal a shift in American politics.

Is white supremacy moving back into the center of American political power? This video breaks down how Vice President JD Vance is positioning himself as the heir to the post-Trump Republican Party—and why his rhetoric, alliances, and refusal to condemn extremists signal a dangerous shift in U.S. leadership. Using recent events at Turning Point USA, Vance's public statements about race, religion, and “heritage Americans,” and the growing influence of openly extremist voices on the right, this essay examines how exclusionary ideologies are being repackaged as patriotism and “big tent” conservatism. It also explores the internal fractures within the GOP, the appeal of these ideas to younger voters, and why attempts to accommodate white nationalism inevitably undermine democracy itself. This is not just a partisan debate—it's a warning about what happens when leaders blur the line between political strategy and racial extremism. Independent media has never been more important.

Today Razib talks to Sean Trende. He is a prominent American political analyst who currently serves as the Senior Elections Analyst for RealClearPolitics, a position he has held since 2010. He is also a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and a lecturer at The Ohio State University, where he earned his Ph.D. in political science in 2023. Before transitioning to full-time political analysis, Trende practiced law for eight years at firms including Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Hunton & Williams LLP, holding a J.D. and M.A. from Duke University and a B.A. from Yale University. Known for his expertise in election forecasting, redistricting, and political demographics, he authored the book The Lost Majority (2012), co-authored The Almanac of American Politics 2014, and served as a court-appointed special master to redraw Virginia's legislative districts in 2021. Trende and Razib first talk about the elections in the fall of 2025 in Virginia and New Jersey, and what they tell us about the elections next year. They also discuss the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York City, and the rise of populism on the Left and Right. Razib asks Trende about why political commentary often assumes single-party rule is about to happen, only to be refuted by the reality of the opposition's resurgence once these claims are made. They also talk about Trende's distinctive personal background, and his perspective as a more centrist-libertarian commentator and professor in the political analyst field.

Anthony Scaramucci (Founder and Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital, former White House Communications Director, and author, “Solana Rising: Investing in the Fast Lane of Crypto”) joins Chris Cuomo to break down how Trump's influence reshaped American politics — from loyalty culture and broken institutions to the money pipelines that fuel the outrage economy. Scaramucci explains why Trumpism still distorts incentives in Washington, why corruption persists across both parties, and how political dysfunction became a profitable business model. Cuomo and Scaramucci also dig into the economics behind the moment — from crypto's growing role in global finance to how digital markets, speculation, and new technologies intersect with political instability. They explore what a post-Trump GOP might look like, whether voters still reward serious leadership, and why America's systems keep drifting further from what working people actually need.

When President Trump took office in January, Congress seemed poised to play a supporting role in the story of Trump's second term. Republicans largely fell in line to support President Trump's cabinet nominees and much of his broader agenda; it's been reported that Trump himself has joked that he's both the President and Speaker of the House. Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, appeared helpless to mount a vigorous opposition to Trump's policies, or even to energize their own base. But this fall, those dynamics began to shift. Congressional Republicans have stood up to Trump on some key issues, including most notably the release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. And Congressional Democrats galvanized supporters around this fall's government shutdown fight over the future of ACA health insurance subsidies.On this episode, two experts on Congressional politics spoke with Dan Richards about the shifting role of Congress in U.S. politics, as President Trump enters his “lame duck” phase and America gears up for a midterm election in less than 12 months. They also discuss Congress's consistently low approval rating among Americans, and explore what (if anything) could be done to make Congress work better under the Trump administration and beyond. Guests on this episode: Eric Patashnik is a political scientist and director of the Watson School's Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy. Congresswoman Kathy Manning represented North Carolina's sixth district from 2020 to 2024 and is currently a senior fellow in international and public affairs at the Watson School.

Republicans Want You Sick, Tired, and Distracted | Karel Cast 25-164 Republicans are pushing policies that leave Americans with higher health premiums, fewer protections, and no real solutions—while Trump tries to rebrand “affordability” by blaming Democrats for an economy his party refuses to fix. Behind the scenes, GOP lawmakers are advancing legislation that completely ignores skyrocketing insurance rates. At the same time, the economy continues to slide, and the message from the right is loud and clear: Stay sick. Stay tired. Stay powerless. LGBTQ leaders are sounding the alarm as authoritarianism spreads through American institutions. “Stop thinking you're safe, because you're not,” one warns. From ICE disabling security cameras to secretive abuses of power, systems meant to protect us are instead targeting marginalized communities—especially LGBTQ Americans. This is why I've openly questioned staying in the United States. We're watching constitutional norms erode in real time, and history tells us who becomes the first target.

America Is Like White-Water Rafting: Chaos, Crisis & What Comes Next | Karel Cast 25-160 America feels less like a country and more like a white-water raft—tossing us through political chaos, rising costs, and nonstop crises. Today, we break down the latest wave of turbulence. Pentagon Pete explodes with “kill them all” rhetoric and then scrambles to shift blame onto an admiral after a devastating strike. Are we crossing the line into war crimes? What does it mean for America's moral standing? Meanwhile, Trump is spiraling as his approval ratings hit new lows, pushing him into full meltdown mode. And for everyday Americans, life isn't much calmer: health insurance premiums, co-pays, grocery bills, and gas prices feel like a roller coaster nobody agreed to ride. So is there any calm water ahead—or are the next three years going to be even rougher? Can the country withstand this level of instability?

8/8. Roosevelt's Landslide and the Realignment of American Politics — David Pietrusza — Contrary to the Literary Digest straw poll prediction of a close race, early returns confirmed Roosevelt's enormous landslide victory, securing 46 states and overwhelming electoral dominance. The victory produced 74 Democratic senators and 334 Democratic house members, establishing commanding majorities in both chambers. This comprehensive electoral sweep cemented the realignment of American politics, as Roosevelt carried 104 out of 106 major cities, solidifying the Democratic Party'sinstitutional strength in urban centers and establishing durable electoral coalitions. 1936 POLAND

Hyper-Individualism Since 1968 Has Fractured Civic Communion, Demands Rebuilding of Formative Institutions— Richard Reinsch — Reinsch argues that American politics is fundamentally undermined by a culture of hyper-individualism—a concept emerging around 1968—that divorces citizens from duty, sacrifice, and relational belonging. This cultural fragmentation has destroyed "civic communion" and social cohesion. To reclaim the republic, Reinschcontends citizens must actively resist the breakdown of formative institutions and work to restore loyalty and commitment through religion, education, family, and military service. 1898 PUERTO RICO

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, thanks to Elon Musk and his new policy of making the location of posters publicly known. You can see all the scum from throughout the world posting vile comments about America, Israel, etc., many who claimed to be reporting from Gaza, others who sought money by claiming to be from Gaza, and the corporate media and podcasters who used the false information to advance a poisonous narrative. You can also see the numerous antisemitic commenters on Mark's account who are based all over the world. It also raises another question about the amount of traffic some of the most contemptible, racist, and antisemitic "influencers" are getting from different parts of the world. Those who report analytics, etc., should include that information when putting out their reports. Let the chips fall where they may. Also, the reasons those 6 Democrats put out the video to our military personnel signaling when to defy a presidential order is: 1. to encourage defiance by military personnel to any order they may disagree with; 2. to create the implication that the president has or will issue unconstitutional or illegal orders; and, 3. to encourage defiance in the ranks against the commander-in-chief. What these 6 did was a direct attack on the president and civilian authority and it is they who are shredding our Constitution. Afterward, James Comey and Letitia James are not out of the woods. There was no substantive decision. In fact, there was no decision with prejudice. The administration is appealing. Or the appointment of another prosecutor who meets the judge's objection can get the cases going again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today Razib talks to Noah Smith, an American economist-turned-blogger known for his commentary on economics and public policy. His blog, Noahpinion, is one of the most popular on Substack. He earned a PhD in economics at University of Michigan and served as an assistant professor of finance at Stony Brook  University before leaving academia to become a full-time writer. He wrote a column for Bloomberg until 2021, when he turned his focus entirely to independent writing and his Substack newsletter. Smith is based out of San Francisco but spends part of the year in Japan. An enthusiast for Japanese culture, he is also one of the central nodes in English-speaking rabbit-twitter. First, Razib and Smith talk about the current cultural and political situation in Japan. In particular, how did Japan transform itself from a country with non immigration to one with a non-trivial number of migrants? Additionally, Razib asks Smith about the new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, the first woman in that role. Smith elucidates her relationship to the politics of two of her most prominent predecessors, Shinzo Abe and Junichiro Koizumi. Razib also asks, is she as far right as some people are saying? Then Smith and Razib discuss the "vibe shift" in American culture over the last five years, from the peak period of wokeness around 2020, to the current political ascendancy of MAGA and how Democrats are reconfiguring their politics.

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show Live, where thought-provoking debate and unfiltered takes collide in real time. In this explosive episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the week's most controversial headlines—starting with the freshly unearthed email allegations linking Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and what that means for public perception, accountability, and the ever-shifting boundaries of scandal. But that's just the beginning. The conversation takes a sharp turn into the heart of political ideology, as Tom Bilyeu draws bold lines between socialism, communism, state-run capitalism, and authoritarianism. He doesn't shy away from naming names, unpacking the influence of public figures like Mamdani, and warning of the historical dangers he sees in popular movements—citing examples from the writings on Mao, Stalin, and beyond. Is the current direction of democratic socialism a slippery slope, or a misunderstood path to progress? How do ideas—dangerous or otherwise—gain momentum, and what's the true cost when policy meets real-world consequences? Alongside Drew, the pair weigh up everything from government spending, deficits, and the logic—or lack thereof—of modern monetary theory, to why “free” often comes with a hidden price tag. If you've ever wondered how the economic choices of today shape the society of tomorrow, or where the line is drawn between strong leadership and dangerous dogma, you won't want to miss this candid, high-stakes conversation.

The episode explored the growing pressure on Jews coming from both ends of the American political spectrum, and due to the importance of this conversation we decided to unlock a part of it for our listeners.This past Tuesday, democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani won the race for mayor of New York City, home to the largest number of Jews outside Israel. Mamdani is a 34-year old self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist and staunch anti-Zionist. His election has caused many Jewish New Yorkers to fear for the future of communal life in their city. Meanwhile, over recent months, we have witnessed a disturbing rise in unabashed antisemitism on the Right. Just last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed far-right influencer Nick Fuentes, who has been open about his support for both Hitler and Stalin. To discuss the precarious situation of diaspora Jews as they're squeezed between the far left and the far right, Dan was joined by Jonah Goldberg. Jonah is the editor in chief and co-founder of The Dispatch and author of multiple books on political history and conservative ideas, including Suicide of the West and Liberal Fascism. He's also the host of the indispensable podcast, The Remnant.CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer
