Why do some members of the “elite class”—those who are educated, wealthy, and largely raised in stable, two-parent homes—publicly advocate for harmful beliefs while not subscribing to them in their private lives?This week marks Are You Kidding Me?'s 100th episode! For this special episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by Rob Henderson, psychologist and author of the recent book Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class. Having experienced an unstable childhood in the foster care system before then enlisting in the military and going on to complete a PhD in psychology, Rob observed a phenomenon among American elites he eventually coined as “luxury beliefs.” Luxury beliefs are held ideas that confer status to the wealthy while inflicting harm on the poor and working class. Rob discusses where he believes this phenomenon originated, the practical impact it has for low-income communities, and how he tries to reverse the trend through sharing data and encouraging people to think more deeply about the ideas they are espousing.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The Roman Catholic Catechism that I LEARNED FROM growing up, has a DIFFERENT Second Commandment than what I find in my KJV Bible. WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? No I am NOT kidding you. The CRAFTINESS of Papal Rome never ceases to amaze me. How did they do that? LISTEN TO THIS AUDIO to find out . . .

Being a boy in our culture today has changed dramatically from decades ago. It used to be all about adventure, exploration, independence, and fun. Bike riding, baseball games, climbing trees, hide and go seek and showing up dirty, hungry, and exhausted when the sun went down. Today young boys are met with gender confusion, that they do not have to be boys if they do not want to be and that dads are not necessary in the home to thrive. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?? This is absolutely and utterly terrifying as a man… to think that boys are growing up in an age that is telling them that men do not really matter, are not even necessary to flourish and can decide to be women if they want to be. Thank God for men like Mark Hancock and Trail Life USA, an organization on a mission to save the next generation of boys, raising them up to be productive, hardworking, courageous young men. We need more Kingdom men like Mark to stand boldly and to strengthen our young boys helping them to rekindle that adventure, exploration, and excitement of their youth. Today Mark and host Chris Wilson talk about what he is doing with Trail Life USA, what their vision and mission are and how he and his amazing group of men and women are changing the world one boy at a time. And Mark is another Brave Books author too!

Statistics don't lie. When asked what their personal religious affiliation is, more and more people in America are checking the box..."None." We are kicking off a new series called "Are You Kidding Me?" This is the sentiment many feel when asked to consider God, faith and specifically Christianity. Surveys reveal one major reason people feel this way is because faith in God seems Irrelevant. Apparently people didn't feel that way when Jesus walked the earth as they flocked to Him. Why do people feel this way today and what can the church do to change that? That's what Dave dives into with this message. Dave Nelson

State Senator Brian Jones joins host T.J. O'Hara on Deconstructed to discuss California politics. Senator Jones represents the 38th District that covers the vast majority of San Diego County. He previously served six years in the State Assembly before being term-limited under California law and also served as a member of the Santee City Council both before and after his term in the State Assembly. He currently is the Vice Chair of three Senate committees and sits on four other committees as well as five Select committees. Senator Jones is also in the minority in California as a registered Republican. In the California Senate, there is a supermajority of 31 Democratic Senators and only 9 Republicans. Perhaps he is used to fighting the odds as there was a supermajority of 60 Democrats versus 19 Republicans and 1 independent in the State Assembly. Yet, he continues to make progress. Senator Jones talks about the camaraderie in the Senate. While the Parties often disagree on bills that are before them, he speculates that 70-85 percent of Democratic bills that pass do so with some level of Republican support. Of course, he notes that 100 percent of Republican bills that pass do so with Democratic support because, otherwise, the supermajority could quash anything tendered by his Party. Last year six of Senator Jones' bills passed and five were signed into law by Governor Newsom. Interestingly enough, the one that was vetoed by the Governor had the most union support and was sponsored by the SEIU. This year has been even better with nine bills being passed by the State Senate to make it to the Governor's desk; two of which have been signed. T.J. asks what tends to slow down or kill bills. Senator Jones explains that special interest groups are most frequently the cause. If a bill doesn't fit their agenda, they try to suppress the legislation. T.J. then brings up the Senator's short videos called, Are You Kidding Me. The Senator explains the humorous origin of the videos and his commitment to not only exposing some of the dysfunctionality of what is happening at the State level but also potential solutions. The two then engage in a discussion of the hidden taxes that often arise because of bills that make it through the process. Senator Jones raises the recently passed minimum wage law that requires food service workers to receive $22 per hour in wages as an example. He notes that the cost will undoubtedly be passed on to consumers. He also cites the surcharges that are included in every utility bill that go unnoticed by taxpayers as well as the $1 per gallon gasoline tax that the State collects. Coincidently, with regard to the latter, a rebate check will be sent to California motor vehicle owners just before the November election... except in the case of some active-duty military personnel. Senator Jones is a strong environmentalist, but a realist as well. He talks about the ongoing movement to ban gas stoves in all new construction and the highly publicized mandate to only allow the sale of EV cars by 2035. He speculates that there will soon be a legislative attempt to move the EV mandate to an even earlier year. The Senator cites that one of the problems is how California determines who is an “effective” legislator. He suggests that the parameters make little sense. T.J. queries the Senator about crime (including the $950 theft allowance), homelessness, and California's public education system... all of which are spiraling out of control. Senator Jones addresses each issue describing their cause and the possible solutions. Listen to hear his assessments and determine if they align with yours. If so, Senator Jones is up for re-election this year.

If you want to learn to speak English fluently as quickly as possible, listening to this English podcast is a great place for you to start. We offer practical, free and proven English language learning techniques that hundreds of thousands of English language students listen to every month. Today we talk about what your expectations of how long it takes to learn to speak English fluently should be. Learning English Speaking Fluency In A Month? Are You Kidding Me? ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-takes-how-long-to-learn/ I've noticed recently a trend on the internet/social media and YouTube for people to make claims about learning to speak a language that is just impractical. Being a language learner myself and being told that some people are learning to speak a new language fluently in a single month is just frustrating. Most, and by that I mean 99%, of us won't be learning a new language to fluency in a month. Why do these claims of learning a new language to fluency in a month seem exaggerated? Well, take this example, the US military spends millions of dollars using the best techniques and experts in language learning in the world. This US military programme per-selects only people who show an inbuilt skill will learn language learning. Guess what?

What does it make you feel like when you can't complete a purchase until you select what percentage of a tip you want to leave?  How about when the card reader asks if you would like to donate to this or that?  Or, maybe round up your purchase to the next dollar?  It is so awkward to say "no" and I don't have a problem saying "yes" from time to time, but I have been asked the same question five different times in one afternoon, all for different charities!Believe it or not, I am a softy for giving a couple of dollars to someone standing on a street corner with a sign.  But when they pull out their cell phone and start texting.... nah... I am not going to contribute to that.And that is just part of the frustration!Surveys, government handouts, donations, junk mail, advertisements, digital answering services, the list goes on and on!  Join me on today's podcast, "Are You Kidding Me?" and see if you agree, or if you think I am just being snarky.

Are You Kidding Me?As Paul opens his letter to the Galatians, it is evident that he is fired up, even angry. Something terrible is happening to people he loves dearly and has led to Christ, and he hits the issue head-on. Along the way, he reminds them that Christ, by His death, launched a new Exodus for the whole world and it is utter foolishness to turn back.

This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? / Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!, Episode 1. 00:00 - Intro 07:36 - Episode Recap 34:54 - Rating System Wouldn't it suck if you had a new start at life, but you were poor? And by poor, we mean you overwrite the mind of the youngest child in a poor noble family. And of course you have cheat-level magic, which you discover because you have the privilege of literacy, unlike your own parents, and access to your family's magic testing stone. But it really sucks that your parents won't give you a title or tons of money! TequilaZaku is fucking pissed at the little fucker that is Wendelin von Benno Baumeister and ThermiteKitty is revealed to be a noble family apologist. Follow our heroes onto the land owned by the first son of the Baumeister family as they ponder the state of the creatures in Pui Pui Molcar, consider whether magic is just a stand-in for money/privilege, are genuinely fascinated by Shingo Ichinomiya as an office worker pre-isekai, are very disappointed with him post-isekai, witness an OP with 100% budget poured into the song and 0% in the OP animation, speculate about the meaning of the last name Baumeister and the history of the family, and are not impressed by the magic potential of this child.

This interview was recently conducted by Natalie Anne Hoffman on episode 135 of The Flying Free Podcast. I think you'll appreciate her perspective and way of evaluating what we are discussing on this episode. These are  her own words straight from the introductory comments she posted online explaining this episode to her audience:It took 11 words to change the world. 11 words misinterpreted. 11 words misunderstood. 11 words manipulated. A single sentence from the mouth of God to the first woman...Eve. A pronouncement. A prediction. A curse. Or was it?Do you know these words? Prepare yourself. Because you're about to learn their TRUE meaning. It might blow. your. mind. And it will change the world...again. Then Natalie added this: Why this episode is a must listen:- The What: Bruce's wife spent seven years researching her doctoral dissertation on 11 words. He followed with his own research on correlating New Testament verses. - The Why: How your understanding of those 11 words affects your view of women, men, God, and your entire existence.- The Are You Kidding Me?: A clear, precise explanation of those 11 words. You may scream. You may dance. You may fist pump several times. You may run around the block screaming incoherently. It's that good. - WARNING: Bring an extra pair of socks. Because this episode is going to blow them clean off!

A professor at Georgetown Law School was recently fired for remarks she made during a private zoom call about the academic performance of black students at Georgetown — raising several questions about the nature of and potential solutions to racial disparities in higher education. What are the root causes of racial disparities in schools? How much freedom should professors and administrators be given to explore explanations of disparities that move beyond institutional racism? Should objective measurements of performance — such as standardized tests — be abolished? In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by University of Pennsylvania law professor https://www.law.upenn.edu/cf/faculty/awax/ (Amy Wax) to discuss these issues and more. Professor Wax offers her defense of academic standards, arguing that movements seeking to deny the root causes of disparities and attribute all differences to structural racism are threatening the integrity of higher education institutions.

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the latest episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/are-you-kidding-me-podcast/ (Are You Kidding Me?,) hosted by AEI scholars Naomi Schaefer Riley and Ian Rowe. Over the past month, US family policy has captivated the attention of policymakers across the ideological spectrum. At the forefront of the family policy conversation: a universal child allowance. In early February 2021, Senator Mitt Romney https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/02/04/romney-child-benefit-stimulus/ (proposed) a sweeping plan to combine several tax credits and the major US cash welfare program into a universal child allowance, paid in cash to families on a monthly basis. Democrats responded with a https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/02/07/child-benefit-democrats-biden/ (plan) of their own that would introduce a slightly smaller child allowance, but keep other federal benefits intact. How would a universal child allowance affect child poverty in the US? Does this policy hold fast to the conservative tradition of pursuing “temporary, targeted, and timely” federal supports?  Joining Naomi and Ian in this episode is AEI Rowe Scholar in poverty studies https://www.aei.org/profile/angela-rachidi/ (Angela Rachidi). She discusses the history of poverty alleviation programs in the US, the potential unintended consequences of a child allowance, and the policy agenda of a new “pro-natalist” movement on the right focused on removing barriers that prevent Americans from having the number of children they desire. Later, Ian, Naomi, and Angela explore means-tested “baby bonds” as a potential alternative to the child allowance.  Find Are You Kidding Me? on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are-you-kidding-me/id1511049533 (Apple), https://open.spotify.com/show/5CUToI2Rb5fhWHJWqUUrhg?si=f5cd5ba267b8461f (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts.

INCREDIBLE!!! AMAZING!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! And this is just the round robin games! If this wasn't a primer for how these playoffs will go I don't know what is. In a game where the Colorado Avalanche were clearly the better team, it started looking like they were going to be on the short end of the score. Not so fast. First Ryan Graves ties it, then Naz Kadri slams home a rebound with .01 seconds left to give the Avs their first two points on the round robin games. What a way to start!
