At worst, it has inspired evident disappointment. In between, there have been the usual attempts to find fault with Republicans while absolving Democrats of any potential responsibility. And the underlying theme? The belief that Trump would indisputably be responsible for his own murder.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/09/the-media-response-to-the-trump-assassination-attempts-is-not-normal/ 4:10pm- While appearing on a Human Events podcast, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) revealed that a Department of Homeland Security official told him that there have been five known assassination plots targeting former President Donald Trump. 4:20pm- On Monday, Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally at Indiana University of Pennsylvania—where he intends to focus on the national security threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party buying U.S. farmland, controlling telecommunication companies, and/or the production of critical medications and medical equipment.

The poll indicates Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is +5 in Arizona, +4 in Georgia, and +3 in North Carolina—and appears to be polling stronger post-debate than he was before it. Notably, NYT/Siena also asked likely voters if they thought Trump's policies helped or hurt them—45% said helped while 34% said hurt. Contrarily, more voters thought Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris's proposed policies would hurt them.

This week, we're doing something a bit different. I've been working with the National Journalism Center for a long time. They have a great program to train up and coming reporters. And we've been doing a range day as part of that training in recent years. So, the program's director T. Becket Adams joined me on the show to discuss what our gun reporting lesson looks like. He also gave his assessment of how much of the media covers firearms, the problem with the approach, and the solution to it. Part of that solution, he said, includes real-world training on key issues in gun politics as well as on how guns function. That's exactly what we give to the young reporters who come through our class. Becket said our program is the only of its kind he's ever heard of, and hopes other groups and media outlets adopt or replicate what we're doing. Special Guest: T Becket Adams.

Ben Domenech is joined by Becket Adams, Washington Examiner columnist and program director at the National Journalism Center, to discuss his recent trip to Davos.

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, reacts to an article in The College Fix, “Rutgers University Faculty Groups Support Prof Who Said White People ‘Gotta Be Taken Out.'” The article is about statements made by Dr. Brittany Cooper, a tenured associate professor in the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Africana Studies Department at Rutgers University—a university with formative ties to the Dutch Reformed Church. In a video interview with The Root, Professor Cooper implies that white people invented slavery and conquest, and that white people are “committed to being villains.” She also states, “The thing I want to say to you is that we gotta take these [expletive deleted] out, but like, we can't say that, right? I don't believe in a project of violence. I truly don't, because in the end, I think our souls suffer from that. And I do think some of this is spiritual condition.” Elsewhere, she calls herself “a practicing Christian” and writes, “The Jesus I know, love, talk about and choose to retain was a radical, freedom-loving, justice-seeking, potentially queer (because he was either asexual or a priest married to a prostitute), feminist healer, unimpressed by scripture-quoters and religious law-keepers, seduced neither by power nor evil.” This ought to remind us once again that we are not to come up with our own novel interpretations of the word of God or the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

Media reporter Becket Adams gets candid with Dan this week to share his views on our relationship with partisan media and how we should be navigating all the noise.

Becket Adams from the Washington Examiner stopped by for our 50th podcast episode to talk about media bias, Meryl Streep, movies and why Twitter just isn’t as much fun anymore. Terrible Opinions Jordan kicks off terrible opinions by telling people to stop picking on Tomi Lahren and anyone else who tweeted something ridiculous and non-news-worthy a million years ago. Becket objects only on the grounds that that’s not a terrible opinion. We talk about the risks of having a Twitter account with countless tweets that could be taken out of context. Becket says what we’re all thinking: Twitter isn’t fun anymore now that every joking tweet between friends could be a liability. Matthias brings us back to politics with his terrible opinion that he is apprehensive about Republicans repealing Obamacare. While Obamacare has had definite negative effects, we don’t know what effects its replacement will have. Stop freaking out about Meryl Streep Becket shares some of his experiences and insights as a reporter on the 2016 election, comparing Trump’s campaign to Clinton’s. He points out that the seemingly ridiculous Make America Great Again hats were ultimately a brilliant strategy, comparing them to the big scene in sports movies where the scrappy underdog team gets their own uniforms. We talk about Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes speech, mostly to express exasperation at both the right and the left for losing it over her digs at Trump and (the people she perceives to be) his voter base. Becket’s advice for resisting Trump as needed: Pick your battles. He chides media for constantly being “at an 11” over every cabinet pick and tweet instead of digging deeper to find the real story and criticizing Trump on genuine grounds. 2016 movies We wrap up by discussing movies we liked (or were disappointed by) in 2016, highlighting “Finding Dory,” “Captain America: Civil War” and “Rogue One.” Becket and Jordan disagree over whether “Rogue One” was a worthy addition to the Star Wars franchise while trying not to give away any spoilers since Matthias still needs to see it.

Matthias, Jordan and Zach welcome back guest Becket Adams for Unpopular Opinions, Predictions and plenty of discussion about the topic of the hour: free speech.  We call out journalists who defend Gawker's invasion of privacy as supposed "freedom of the press" but ignore clear First Amendment violations by the IRS. The free speech discussion continues with a debate over Donald Trump's decision to block a BuzzFeed reporter's access to a press conference. Becket notes that Trump is setting up a pay-to-play system if the reporter was blocked because BuzzFeed decided not to run any GOP ads this election.  While we mention Orlando, we refrain from any hot takes. We wrap up with predictions, some frivolous (Zach predicts a soccer game's outcome and Jordan talks about the "Ghostbusters" reboot) and one grim (Becket predicts that terror attacks will boost Trump in the election).

Join the Paradox team (Matthias, Jordan, Zach) and our guest and Washington Examiner Media Reporter Becket Adams for the 16th episode of the Paradox Project Podcast Terrible Opinions 00:00 - 21:00 Matthias - I would like to launch a "defense of assholes" in that just because someone act poorly to us does not mean that we should disregard everything they say. Zach - I like boxed wine and I think it gets a bad rap Becket - I really liked Trump's response to Ted Cruz's "New York Values" comment. It was real and thoughtful and powerful. Jordan - I don't like that conservatives have decided to jump into the #OscarSoWhite debate. They have nothing to win. Just stay out of it. Is the GOP Doomed? 21:00 - 41:00 With the National Review coming out against Donald Trump, is this going to tear the GOP apart? Matthias predicts Trump won't get the nomination and commits to shutting down his Twitter account if he does. Becket notes that the NR statement was about drawing a line in the sand and saying "We are against this" and building a coalition alternative. We then discuss the people in our family & social circles who, while not excited about Trump as a candidate, see him as an antidote to the part of the GOP that ignores or disregards them and what matters to them. Star Wars Predictions [SPOILERS: Highlight text below to read] 41:00 - 1:03:00 Becket predicted Han Solo would die in the The Force Awakens. Re-hashing his previous prediction on the nature and structure of the Star Wars narratives, he reviewed his prediction made before the release of the film and where he succeeded and where he fell short. There is much discussion about the future of the Star Wars narrative, specifically around Chewie's role in the next few films as well as Kylo Ren's interesting rage issues. Predictions 1:03:00 - 1:10:00 Matthias - In 6 weeks, the Dow will be lower than it is now. He is worried that we are at the beginning stages of a recession. Jordan - Nothing will happen between Trump and Megyn Kelly, but it will still be a big story. Zach - Keyword search is going away in the next 2 years (in part because it's so useless now
