Progressive and centrist Democratic candidates had big wins in the 2025 elections. On this week's On the Media, a data scientist fact-checks the claim that Democrats need moderate voters to win. Plus, an Arizona state senator shares how she's reaching her constituents on TikTok and on the ground.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with G. Elliot Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, to hash out what the data says about whether becoming more moderate is really the key to Democratic candidates winning more elections.[20:09] Brooke chats with Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, a center-left think tank, about his view that Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City poses a “serious political problem” for the Democrats.[36:06] Finally, Brooke calls up Analise Ortiz, state senator for Arizona's 24th district, to discuss how TikTok, old-fashioned door-knocking, and making tangible differences in peoples' lives is the way for the Democrats to start winning again. Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by G.

“They're not voting left or right—they're voting for whoever fixes their future.”

It's Friday, November 21st, and Norm Hitzges is just wondering if this might actually be the perfect time for the Cowboys to catch the Eagles. With All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson sidelined and the Philly offensive line suddenly mortal, Norm digs into just how much one lineman has meant to a franchise that's gone 96–41 with him and 12–23 without him. He walks through the Eagles' strange season: a defense that grew up faster than expected, an offense stuck in the mud, whispers about Jalen Hurts, and yet a ridiculous 51–14 record with Hurts under center since 2022. Then Norm turns his attention back home: the Cowboys sitting at 4-5-1, a brutal three-game gauntlet of Eagles, Chiefs, and Lions on deck, and Vegas setting the over/under for Dallas wins at just 6.5. Is there really a playoff run in there, or is this just another year of “maybe next time”? Along the way, you'll hear from show partners Fluent Financial, Bob's Steak & Chop House, and Full Moon Healing Balm, and get the full Norm treatment: perspective, numbers, and just enough optimism to keep you watching on Sunday. Chapters00:00:00 – Can the Cowboys Beat the Eagles?00:00:19 – A Word from Fluent Financial00:01:23 – The Lane Johnson Injury and Why It Matters00:02:10 – Eagles With Lane vs. Without Lane00:03:11 – Eagles' Record, Schedule, and a Tough Nut to Crack00:04:04 – The Plan vs. Reality: Veteran Offense, Baby Defense00:04:47 – AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts, and Locker Room Whispers00:05:46 – A 51–14 Quarterback and an Offense That Still Struggles00:06:59 – Defense, Turnovers, and Why This Week Favors Dallas00:07:46 – Bob's Steak & Chop House Spot00:08:28 – Full Moon Healing Balm and Norm's Battle with Blotches00:09:53 – Cowboys at 4–5–1 and a Brutal Remaining Schedule00:10:41 – Vegas Win Total: Only 6.5 for Dallas00:11:34 – Sponsor Thanks and Closing Thoughts from Norm and Mary00:12:37 – Stolen Water Media Sign-Off

The US has some of the highest rates of STIs and teen pregnancies in the industrialized world. A comprehensive sex education curriculum—which teaches facts on contraception, prophylactics, consent, and STIs—has been available since the 90s. Yet the majority of states require that sex education stress abstinence, and 22 states do not require sex ed in public schools at all. In The Fight for Sex Ed: The Century-Long Battle Between Truth and Doctrine (Beacon Press, 2025), writer, advocate, and historian Margaret Grace Myers shows us how we got here. While the earliest calls for sex ed came from a coalition of religious leaders and doctors at the turn of the century who sought to control the prevalence of STIs, the advent of antibiotics and modern condoms meant that abstinence was no longer good public health policy. The religious right, however, continued to frame it as such, using its impressive machinery to replace scientific facts with conservative Christian values. Because sex ed is not mandated at the federal level, these battles have played out locally throughout the decades: through rigged school boards, administrative oustings, court cases, unjust firings, scare tactics, and threats. Myers also shows how the religious right has worked to narrow the discourse around sex ed, often dictating the terms of debate almost entirely. What we teach young people has serious ramifications for reproductive justice, LGBTQ+ rights, gender equality, and public health. Sex education lies at the intersection of these hugely important cultural forces, yet it has been largely invisible. This book illuminates its potential—and its power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Main Theme: The message continues the study of Joshua chapters 10–11, exploring how God led Israel to fully conquer their enemies. Pastor emphasized that these natural battles symbolize our spiritual warfare—the believer's call to finish battles of faith, destroy sin's influence, and walk in victory through obedience. Opening and Global Prayer The service began with intercession for Christians under persecution in Nigeria and Sudan, highlighting that while Western believers face spiritual battles, others face literal physical danger for their faith. Pastor led prayer for God's mercy, protection, and bold witness among the persecuted church. Israel's Battle and Spiritual Parallels (Joshua 10:16–43) Joshua commanded the army to seal the five kings in the cave at Makkedah, pursue the enemy, and finish the battle. After victory, Joshua had his captains place their feet on the necks of the kings—a prophetic act of dominion. This became a picture of spiritual warfare: “Sometimes we don't finish the battle. We let things live that God told us to destroy.” Believers must pursue sin and temptation until they are “dust under our feet.” Partial obedience leads to future bondage. Lesson: Don't leave sin alive. Whatever is not put to death will eventually come back to destroy. Just as Joshua completed every battle, we must close every spiritual door and cut off access to the enemy. God's Ways and the Danger of Presumption Pastor reminded the congregation that God moves in diverse ways: “Sometimes He fights supernaturally; other times He works through natural means or people—but it's always His hand.” He warned against putting God in a box or expecting Him to act the same way every time, which leads to a Pharisaical mindset. True faith trusts His sovereignty regardless of method. The Severity of Sin Joshua's command to destroy the Canaanite nations often troubles modern readers, but Pastor explained: God owns everything; He is perfectly just in judgment. Israel's destruction of wicked nations demonstrates the seriousness of sin, not cruelty. “We don't see how wicked sin really is… we've redefined it as conditions or sickness instead of rebellion against God.” Sin caused death, chaos, and even required the crucifixion of God's Son to be redeemed. God's judgment isn't biased—He later judged Israel the same way when they turned to idolatry. “He's long-suffering, but He's also holy.” God the Redeemer Pastor used the analogy of the pawn shop and Hosea's marriage: Humanity belonged to God but sold itself to sin. Yet God, though rightful owner, paid again with the blood of Christ to buy us back. “He walked into the spiritual pawn shop and paid for the whole store.” This is the picture of grace: redemption at a cost God didn't owe. Spiritual Warfare and Finishing the Fight (Joshua 11) The northern kings united against Israel, but God reassured Joshua: “Do not be afraid. I will deliver them into your hand.” God again fought for Israel, proving that obedience keeps God's presence active. Joshua's faithfulness to continue Moses' commands showed continuity—obedience to divine instruction brings sustained victory. Application: Romans 6 and the War Within Pastor connected Joshua's battles to Romans 6, explaining how believers must fight sin with the same intensity: “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid.” Through baptism, we are united with Christ's death and resurrection. Therefore, sin has no dominion over believers: “Even when you fail, your position in Christ overrides your condition.” Victory comes by renewing the mind with the Word, speaking God's truth over ourselves, and closing every door to sin. Believers must “cut off options” that lead back to bondage—relationships, habits, or influences that tempt the flesh. Becoming a Bondservant Paul called himself a bondslave of Christ—one who chooses to stay out of love, not compulsion. Pastor contrasted this with modern Christians who seek convenience: “Christianity isn't weakness—it's surrender. The greatest opportunity isn't success, it's becoming a man or woman of God.” Closing Exhortation God desires full victory for His people—no compromise, no partial obedience. The Christian walk is discipleship as a journey, not a destination. Every battle is an opportunity to grow stronger in faith and obedience. “Cut off what tempts you. Pursue your enemies until they're dust under your feet. You are dead to sin and alive to God. Finish the fight.” Core Message Don't leave sin alive—finish the battle. God's justice reveals the true horror of sin. You are redeemed at great cost—live as one who's been bought back. Renew your mind, close every door to the enemy, and walk in your position in Christ. The greatest victory is not survival—it's surrender.
