Podcasts about cancel culture

Der Titel dieser Episode lautet »Desinformiere Dich!« – orientiert sich am Buch meines Gastes, Jakob Schirrmacher. Es freut mich ganz besonders, Jakob zum Gespräch begrüßen zu dürfen. Jakob Schirrmacher ist Referent für Medienbildung und Digitalisierung, Publizist und Gründer der NGO Free Speech Aid. Er beschäftigt sich mit Fragen rund um Meinungsfreiheit, Desinformation und den gesellschaftlichen Folgen digitaler Technologien. In seinen Essays – unter anderem für die WELT – analysiert er kritisch den Umgang von Politik und Medien mit Wahrheit und öffentlicher Debatte. Mit Free Speech Aid setzt er sich für mehr Meinungsfreiheit ein – und dafür, wie wir diese in Zeiten von Zensur- und Regulierungsdruck schützen können. In dieser Episode sprechen wir über Wahrheit und das vermeintliche Gegenteil, die Desinformation. Aber tatsächlich geht es, glaube ich, um die fundamentalere Frage, wie man mit Unsicherheit und mit unterschiedlichen Einschätzungen der Welt umgeht. In diesem Gespräch verhandeln wir hauptsächlich die gesellschaftlich/politischen Komponenten, aber die wissenschaftliche Dimension ist ebenso offensichtlich und wird von uns auch angesprochen. Wir beginnen mit der Frage, was eine moderne und offene Gesellschaft ausmacht, welche Rolle Individuum und Freiheit spielen und welche zahlreichen Angriffe auf die offene Gesellschaft und die Demokratie wir aktuell erleben. Was sollten wir als Bürger beachten und wie damit in der Zukunft umgehen? Ist offener Diskurs eine Bedingung für eine moderne Gesellschaft? Warum ist ein Fokus auf das Individuum und individuelle Rechte von Bedeutung? Was ist Wahrheit? Gibt es wesentliche Unterschiede zwischen Naturwissenschaft und Aspekten des individuellen gesellschaftlichen Lebens? »An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out and that the growing generation is familiarized with the idea from the beginning…«, Max Planck Damit kommen wir zum Versuch der Definition verschiedener Begriffe und deren Etablierung in gesellschaftlichen Strukturen: »Wer entscheidet eigentlich, was Desinformation ist?« Was bedeutet der Begriff Desinformation eigentlich und wofür benötigen wir ihn? Ist er nützlich oder eher ein ideologischer Kampfbegriff – also selbst in einem gewissen Sinne Meta-Desinformation? Wie steht Desinformation in Bezug zum Begriff »Fake News«? »Elias Canetti in Masse und Macht diagnostiziert hatte: Wenn ein Begriff zu viele Deutungsvarianten hat, kann er politisch umso leichter instrumentalisiert werden.« Ist es also gar der Versuch, sprachlich Verwirrung zu stiften? Fallen viele Menschen gerade auf ein Machtspiel herein, das durch Umdefinition und immer neue Begriffsverwirrungen gespielt wird? »Es ist ein Herrschaftsinstrument – wir sehen, welche Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, um Desinformation einzudämmen.« Handelt es sich nur um einen wenig relevanten akademischen Diskurs, oder hat diese Frage konkrete Folgen für unsere Gesellschaft? »Der Umbau unserer Informationslandschaft ist schon lange im Gange« Wir diskutieren dies anhand konkreter Gesetzesvorhaben. Was ist der Digital Services Act und das vorausgehende Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz – beide im Grunde Made in Germany? »D.h. die Regulierung, die wir heute sehen, ist eigentlich ein deutsches Produkt.« Sollte Deutschland stolz darauf sein? Oder erleben wir eher einen schweren Angriff auf Freiheitsrechte, die Vorbildwirkung für zahlreiche totalitäre Staaten haben? Wurde mit dem Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz außerdem ein weiterer Begriff etabliert, oder gar erfunden, nämlich Hate Speech oder Hassrede im Deutschen? Welche schwerwiegenden (negativen) Folgen, wie Overblocking, haben diese Regularien für die freie Meinungsäußerung im Netz? Wird also das, was in demokratischen Gesellschaften eigentlich ein Tabu ist – Zensur – durch geschickte, aber perfide Regulierung und Anreizsysteme an Internetplattformen ausgelagert? Ist auch Hassrede ein Gummibegriff, der wenig nützt, aber viel Schaden anrichtet? Wie haben wir die stetige Krisenrhetorik zu bewerten, mit der vermeintlich harte Maßnahmen und immer neue Gesetze gerechtfertigt werden? »Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass Gesetze und Verordnungen nur selten wieder abgeschafft werden, sobald Machtstrukturen erst einmal gefestigt sind.« Wird mit Angst (durch tatsächliche oder vermeintliche Krisen ausgelöst) gearbeitet, um immer härtere Maßnahmen umzusetzen, die aber unsere Demokratie und die offene Gesellschaft untergraben und zersetzen? Nicht nur langfristige Effekte sind zu bedenken: Nur weil sich etwas gut anhört, bedeutet das noch lange nicht, dass es auch das Ziel erreicht, beziehungsweise mit angemessenen Nebenwirkungen erreicht. »Lofty goals have long distracted attention from actual consequences«, Tom Sowell Im Extremfall der Cancel Culture brauchen wir oftmals gar keine Gesetze mehr: »Wir schaffen ein soziales Klima, das auf bestimmte Fragen dermaßen emotional reagiert, dass […] man sofort in eine Ecke geschoben wird. Da wollen die wenigsten rein und dann sagt man besser nichts.« Immer mehr wird direkt oder indirekt »nach oben« delegiert, und führt zu immer stärkerer Machtansammlung. Davor hat Karl Popper, der Autor der »Offenen Gesellschaft«, aber schon vor Jahrzehnten eindringlich gewarnt: »Das Wichtigste ist es, all jenen großen Propheten zu misstrauen, die eine Patentlösung in der Tasche haben, und euch sagen, wenn ihr mir nur volle Gewalt gebt, dann werde ich euch in den Himmel führen. Die Antwort darauf ist: Wir geben niemandem volle Gewalt über uns, wir wollen, dass die Gewalt auf ein Minimum reduziert wird. Gewalt ist selbst ein Übel. Und wir können nicht ein Übel mit einem anderen austreiben.« […]  »Die Grundidee der Demokratie ist es, die Macht zu beschränken.« Warum schauen so viele Menschen tatenlos zu, wie unsere Demokratie substanziell beschädigt wird? »Wir haben es uns schon bequem gemacht in unserer Demokratie und sind mittlerweile in Strukturen angekommen, in denen es relativ unsexy geworden ist, gegen den Staat zu sein.« Besonders kritisch wird es, wenn man die Rolle betrachtet, die der Journalismus spielen sollte. Staatskritisch zu agieren ist das Kerngeschäft von politischen Journalisten. Stellen sich aber nicht weite Teile des Journalismus immer stärker als Bollwerk vor den Staat und verteidigen alle möglichen staatlichen Übergriffe? Was ist die Rolle, die der Staat in einer offenen Gesellschaft einnehmen sollte? Haben wir uns zum Nanny-Staat entwickelt, den wir bei allem und jedem um Erlaubnis fragen, statt Eigeninitiative zu entwickeln? Sind wir als Untertanen sozialisiert worden und haben vergessen, dass die Idee der offenen Gesellschaft war, dass wir frei sind und dass der Staat die Aufgabe hat, uns maximale individuelle Freiheit zu ermöglichen, die staatlichen Übergriffe auf ein absolutes Mindestmaß zu reduzieren? Haben wir den kritischen Umgang mit Herrschaftsstrukturen verlernt? Wie sieht das über Generationen aus? Woher kommt diese Hörigkeit? Was macht die ständige Krisenrhetorik mit uns, besonders auch mit jüngeren Menschen – selbst wenn es dafür oftmals wenig Grund gibt? Sind wir krisenmüde geworden? Wird das strategisch eingesetzt, um uns zu zermürben? Ist das Internet eine unfassbar mächtige Manipulationsmaschine? Oder ist das alles übertrieben? Was ist der Censorship-Industrial-Complex? Warum hat das mit klassischer Zensur weniger zu tun, war aber – gerade unter einer vermeintlich liberalen Regierung in den USA – ein etabliertes Mittel, um Information zu unterdrücken, die staatlichen Stellen oder bestimmten Eliten nicht in den Kram gepasst hat? Cambridge Analytica und Konsorten werden als Beispiel für die Macht der Wahlbeeinflussung diskutiert, oder handelt es sich eher um einen millionenschweren Marketing-Gag? Ist dieser Desinformationshype ein Geldsegen für soziale Medien? Wenn man angeblich über die Mechanismen der Internetdienste den Wahlausgang verändern kann, dann wird es wohl auch dazu reichen, mehr Cola zu verkaufen. Sind die Menschen nur Schafe, die schlicht dem nächsten Propagandisten folgen? Brauchen wir daher die Experten, die diese Schafe mit der richtigen Wahrheit auf den guten Weg führen? Wozu dann aber Demokratie – dann können wir das mühsame Getue auch gleich abschaffen und die Experten entscheiden lassen, oder? Was haben wir von NGOs zu halten, die in erheblichem Umfang von staatlichen Mitteln leben, aber vorgeben, im Interesse der »Zivilgesellschaft« zu handeln? Was hat es mit dem sogenannten post-faktischen Zeitalter auf sich? Welche Rolle spielen hier die verschiedenen Akteure? Von Regierungsorganisationen über Medien, Internetdienste, selbst ernannte Faktenchecker, sogenannte NGOs und viele andere mehr. »Man schafft es, den Eindruck zu erwecken, dass bestimmte Perspektiven aus der Mitte der Gesellschaft kommen, schlussendlich ist es aber genau das Gegenteil der Fall.« Wie sieht es mit der Lüge aus – soll diese verboten werden, oder hat der Mensch gar ein Recht zu lügen? Ist es manchmal vielleicht sogar Pflicht zu lügen? »In einer offenen Gesellschaft ist nicht die Lüge selbst das größte Risiko, sondern die Existenz einer Institution, die das ausschließliche Recht hat, Wahrheit zu definieren. […] Wer heute Lügen verbieten will, schafft morgen den Präzedenzfall für das Verbot unbequemer Wahrheiten« Zum Abschluss: Wie hat sich die Medienlandschaft über die letzten Jahrzehnten verändert – Frank Schirrmacher, Jakobs Vater, war ja Herausgeber der FAZ. Dazu ein Zitat von Hanns Joachim Friedrichs, das wie aus der Zeit gefallen wirkt: »Einen guten Journalisten erkennt man daran, dass er sich nicht gemein macht mit einer Sache, auch nicht mit einer guten Sache.« Wo gilt das heute noch? Es scheinen eher Haltung und Aktivismus, als die Suche nach der Wahrheit zu gelten – manchmal sogar verblüffend offen ausgesprochen, wie etwa von Katherine Maher, CEO von NPR, über Wikipedia: »The people who write these articles, they are not focused on the truth. They are focused on something else: what is the best that we can know right now […] Perhaps for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth, might not be the right place to start.« »I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.« Findet die Reibung, der Versuch, Wahrheit zu finden, sich ernsthaft mit harten Themen auseinanderzusetzen, in den früheren Leitmedien oder gar im ÖRR noch statt? Oder erleben wir in Medien und Politik eine Konsenskultur statt harter thematischer Arbeit? Werden Medienorganisationen, die sich früher selbst ernst genommen haben und tatsächlich eine wesentliche Rolle in der Gesellschaft gespielt haben, immer mehr zu polarisierenden und nicht ernst zu nehmenden Randerscheinungen? Denken wir an das Etablieren von Fact-Checking bei der BBC? »Der Journalismus, wie wir ihn kennen, hat sich stark entkernt.« Ist die zunehmende »Demokratisierung« der Medienlandschaft – damit auch der Bedeutungsverlust klassischer Medien – eine positive oder negative Entwicklung? »Mein Vater [Frank Schirrmacher] hat mir früher immer gesagt: So lange wird es die FAZ nicht mehr geben.« Wo laufen wir als Gesellschaft hin, und was können wir selbst tun, um die Situation zu verbessern?

Cancel culture seems to demand that we choose sides—cutting off, calling out, and canceling others with little room for redemption. But what does a Gospel response look like? How do we teach our daughters to stand firm in their faith without returning fire with fire?  In this Thursday episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dig deep into how the divide created by cancel culture can be reconciled—not through compromise, but through Christ. Rooted in the ministry of reconciliation described in 2 Corinthians 5, this episode explores what it means to be a peacemaker in a polarized world and how to help your daughter hold truth and grace in tension.  From toddler playground scuffles to teenaged social dynamics, cancel culture is showing up in your daughter's life earlier than ever. But instead of teaching her to cancel back, this conversation invites you to cast a different vision—one that prioritizes empathy, identity in Christ, spiritual maturity, and prayer for those who oppose her.  You'll walk away with:  A Gospel-centered framework for responding to cancel culture  Real-life language to help your daughter approach conflict differently  3 practical jumping-off points to move her from canceling to reconciling  AHG resources like GRIT with Grace that equip girls to practice Biblical unity in their everyday relationships  As American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay reminds us in this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, our differences are not a threat—they are an opportunity to celebrate the body of Christ in its fullness. Unity doesn't mean sameness; it means choosing love in the face of division.  Scripture References:  Genesis 6 – God grieves humanity's wickedness  Isaiah 5:20 – “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil...”  2 Corinthians 5:17–20 – Ministry of reconciliation  Romans 14:1–12 – Unity in the body despite differences  Matthew 5:43–44 – “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”  Revelation 7:9 – A vision of heaven's diversity: every tribe, nation, and tongue  2 Timothy 1:7 – Spirit of power, love, and self-discipline  Our girls don't need to be cultural chameleons—they need to be Gospel lights. Teach her to lead with conviction, but love like Christ.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.    To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

In this episode of Ami's House, we sit down with journalist Karys Rhea to ask a hard question: Are we alienating the last allies Israel has left on the American Right? From the rise of “woke right” factions, to the fallout of October 7, to the mainstreaming of antisemitism in conservative spaces — we explore how the pro-Israel camp risks losing support from its own friends. We get into Tucker, Candace, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, and the usefulness of the term "antisemitic."This is not just about politics — it's about whether Israel's defenders can hold their coalition together without pushing people away.Find Kara on X: https://x.com/rheakarys

I've known Zachary Levi for years, but this was the first time we sat down for an unfiltered conversation- and it was worth the wait. Zach opened up about faith, fatherhood, and why he's building a new kind of community in Texas called Wildwood. He spoke candidly about Hollywood, the backlash he's faced for speaking his mind, and what it feels like to live out his values in an industry that doesn't always welcome honesty. We talked about everything from politics and the pandemic to the dangers of AI and what it means to hold onto hope in a world that feels increasingly chaotic. Zach also shared how becoming a father has deepened his perspective and given him a renewed sense of purpose. This was Zachary Levi at his most real - thoughtful, passionate, and unapologetically himself. The Sage Steele Show is a weekly podcast hosted by former ESPN anchor Sage Steele.

Is your spouse married to their job, or are you? In today's episode, we're talking about what happens when work takes priority over marriage and how couples can recognize the signs before it causes lasting damage. Let's talk about why this is such a common struggle, what Scripture says about balancing work and marriage, and how to reconnect when work has created distance. If you're feeling like your relationship is playing second to a career, this one's for you. Let's dive in.   Episode Highlights: God gave us ambition and talents for a reason. Work balance in marriage is a common struggle. We tried to look at struggles as growth opportunities instead of failures Society adds to the pressure we feel to pursue success first. If conversations become logistical or date nights become extinct you may be prioritizing work over your marriage. There's a biblical order, that when we get that order right, everything else finds its proper place. Prayer reminds us who our work is truly for. Quotes from Today's Episode: The issue is when our ambition becomes our identity. When we believe our value comes from our next promotion. We are sacrificing our family for our ego. Our culture has us believe rest is laziness. Providing isn't just about money. Your spouse needs your presence, your attention, and your emotional availability. Scripture makes it clear that work is good. We are created in the image of a working God. Bu work has its place in the greater order, and that place isn't first.. Rest and relationship are sacred. Boundaries aren't restrictions. They are protections. Create rituals that prioritize connections. Our ultimate provision isn't in our performance, it's in God's faithfulness. See what happens when you're physically forced to be present with one another.   Couples' Conversation Guide: What one daily ritual can you begin this week to show your spouse and your marriage the energy it deserves. (coffee in the morning, lunch time phone call, prayer in the evening, etc.) When you hear the word “boundaries” do you automatically feel restricted? How can we implement some boundaries that feel like protection instead?  Does our calendar reflect our heart for keeping our marriage first? If not, where can you begin to say “no” so that you can say “yes” to your marriage? What are some physical distractions we can remove during our time together?    Mentioned in this Episode: Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram!

In a world where boycotts trend by the hour and social media justice can render someone “canceled” overnight, Christian parents are left wondering—how should we respond? In this insightful and deeply relevant episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose step into the emotionally charged topic of Cancel Culture with clarity, nuance, and a Biblical lens.  Rather than being driven by reactionary outrage, Christians are called to be rooted in grace, truth, and discernment. The conversation explores the dangers of modern Cancel Culture—doxing, boycotting, and outrage cycles—and contrasts them with the radical love and reconciliation found in Christ. Rachael and Natalie ask: What does it look like to live out a Grace Culture in a canceling world? And how do we teach our daughters to pursue peace, seek justice, and reflect the heart of Jesus in the face of public pressure?  Listeners will appreciate the honesty of personal stories, Biblical insights, and encouragements to step away from knee-jerk reactions and instead stand firmly on their identity in Christ. With wisdom from the Raising Godly Girls Minute by American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, this episode reminds us that we are uncanceled by God—and that truth has massive implications for how we love others.  Scripture References:  Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”  Ephesians 2:4–5 – “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ…”  Matthew 5:8 – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”  Micah 6:8 – “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”  2 Timothy 1:7 – “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”  Whether you're trying to navigate social media, lead your family in integrity, or disciple your daughter through cultural confusion, this episode offers an anchored, grace-filled vision for Christian living in divisive times.    Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.    To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.  

In this episode of Quillette Cetera, Zoe Booth speaks with Harvard fellow and Cornell PhD Adam Szetela—author of new book That Book Is Dangerous: How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing (MIT Press, 2025). A working-class kid turned literary insider, Szetela exposes what he calls “the sensitivity era”: a cultural climate in which books are cancelled before they're published, authors are shamed into grovelling apologies, and sensitivity readers act as ideological enforcers—surveilling fiction for offence. Drawing on eye-opening examples and experimental research conducted at Cornell's Social Dynamics Lab, Szetela explains how peer pressure alone can turn readers against even canonical figures like Allen Ginsberg. He also reflects on the publishing industry's class divide, the fragility of elite institutions, and why pro wrestling and bodybuilding may offer a better education than the Ivy League. From J.K. Rowling and Goodreads mobs to the politics of soccer and masculinity—this is a frank and timely discussion about literary freedom in an age of moral panic. Learn more about your ad choices.

n this powerful episode of Free Speech Forward, Chris and Joia speak with Muslim feminist reformer Soraya M. Deen, who reveals the shocking reality of advocating for women's rights within religious orthodoxy—where speaking truth can mean exile from your own community. From her awakening moment watching Ayaan Hirsi Ali on C-SPAN as a young mother to co-founding the Clarity Coalition, Deen exposes how cancel culture operates within faith communities and why so many of those who need to speak up remain dangerously silent. As an interfaith advocate fighting extremism and fundamentalism, she shares her radical approach of "truth circles"—creating brave spaces where conflicting ideas can clash without violence. Discover why she believes the greatest weapon against bad ideas is better ideas, how she builds collective consciousness using the "100th monkey" principle, and her urgent call for open debates about anti-Semitism and radical Islamic ideology on college campuses.

The Smithsonian is under siege. Trump's latest order demands that our nation's museums sanitize slavery, sugarcoat oppression, and serve up propaganda in place of truth.

Joining me today are Dave and Ann Wilson who have written a brand new book about what it looks like to speak life into our marriages; not just with the words we say, but also in the thoughts we choose to dwell on. We'll talk about why trying to be your spouse's Holy Spirit never works, why kindness is actually one of the most rebellious things we can do in today's world, and how reframing our inner dialogue can change the way we manage conflict. Whether you've been shouting to be heard, or quietly holding back the pain of unspoken expectations, today's conversation will offer biblical wisdom, practical tools, and fresh hope for building a marriage that reflects Christ's love. We pray this episode encourages you! Episode Highlights:   How you approach the conversation matters.    Hope and joy can only be in the Lord.   Your words have the power to build up or tear down your spouse.   Gratitude for your spouse can change your perspective of your spouse.   Quotes from Today's Episode: Men go where they're affirmed. They go there. - Dave Wilson I realize like when I'm in the Word, I look at things different. I look at the world different. I look at Dave different. And it started, God's Word started to change me. - Ann Wilson But there's something that's really holy about seeing greatness in a person and being able to communicate it in some way. - Ann Wilson I had put all my hopes and dreams in Dave. I'd taken them off of Jesus and I was like, you could make me happy. And it's easy to get into that rut of like, if you would just do X, Y, Z, I could be more content. - Ann Wilson God's given us to each other to sharpen one another- Dave Wilson Speak life to your husband. Bring him back to be the man God created him to be.  We can help shape how our husbands and how our kids feel about themselves, but we have to first connect with Jesus. - Ann Wilson What good does it do to only think of the negative? You can't say everything you feel! Couples' Conversation Guide: How do we typically approach hard conversations with each other—and what could we do to make those moments feel safer and more affirming? Have we unintentionally placed our hope or happiness in each other instead of in God? What would it look like to shift that back to Jesus as our source of joy? What is one thing I genuinely admire or am grateful for in you that I may not say often enough? How can we be more intentional about calling out the good in each other?   Mentioned in this Episode: Find Dave and Ann Wilson on IG.

After getting his big break during an Instagram livestream with superstar Justin Bieber, Anees made the leap from up-and-comer to professional musician. Growing up in a half-Palestinian, half-Lebanese household with a father who worked in civil rights, Anees explains to Mehdi how making political music isn't even a conscious choice for him. Though when it comes to other famous musical artists, including a well-known Palestinian (cough cough, DJ Khaled), Anees has his own thoughts as to why some celebrities choose to stay out of the political fray. When discussing US lawmakers and Israel, the duo unpack the mixed signals coming from progressives like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and whether purity tests on the left are helpful or harmful. Finally, Mehdi and Anees discuss the possibility of Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race and the shockwaves it would send to the political establishment. SUBSCRIBE TO ZETEO TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT AND UNFILTERED JOURNALISM: https://zeteo.com/subscribeWATCH, LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE TO ‘WE'RE NOT KIDDING' ON SUBSTACK: https://zeteo.com/s/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-and-friendsFIND ZETEO:Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_newsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonewsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonewsFIND MEHDI:Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasanTwitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasanFIND ANEES:Website: https://www.aneesofficial.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anees/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anees?lang=enCREDITS:Hosted by: Mehdi HasanGuest Host: AneesExecutive Producer: Kiran AlviSenior Producer and Editor: Frank CappelloMusic: Andy ClausenDesign: Alicia TatoneMix Engineer: Valentino RiveraTitle Animation: Ehsaan MesghaliSpecial thanks: Khaleel Rahman

In this unflinching portrait, Roseanne sits down to exclusively to tell her life story. She recounts her unusual childhood of growing up Jewish in Salt Lake City, Utah, and how her rebellious nature started by eating a Spam sandwich. She explains that her ability to create jokes came from making her father laugh so he wouldn't punish her. She retells the harrowing events that led up to her taking the stage at a comedy club in Denver, where she was able to establish a local following with her "Funny Womanness" routine and a unique approach to humor.At the encouragement of touring comedians, Roseanne traveled to Los Angeles and instantly found success at The Comedy Store. In record time, Roseanne was invited to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The audience couldn't get enough of the "Domestic Goddess." Her whirlwind career gained momentum when singer Julio Iglesias invited her to be his opening act and comedic legend Rodney Dangerfield asked her to play his wife on his 1986 HBO special, and she then landed two HBO specials of her own. This success culminated in her groundbreaking sitcom, Roseanne. The series quickly replaced The Cosby Show at the top of the ratings. But the TV show provided many challenges for Roseanne, as she battled writers over the show content and her character. She describes what she had to do to make it her show and not a group of Ivy League graduate writers' warped perception of middle America.Roseanne recounts the disastrous night she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a San Diego Padres game. This was her first encounter with "cancel culture," when President George H.W. Bush spoke out against her. Her show remained at the top until she decided to end it after nine seasons. She went on to host her own talk show. During one episode, she told guest Donald Trump that he needed to run for president, although she staged a presidential campaign first as the Green Party candidate in 2012. After Trump won in 2016, Roseanne found herself reviving her Roseanne sitcom to record-breaking ratings.The success didn't last long, due to a late-night tweet while on Ambien, which quickly derailed everything. Roseanne recounts the story of how her network swiftly removed her from her show. "Cancel Culture" had her blacklisted and she was shunned by everyone outside of Fox News and Dr. Oz.In Roseanne Barr Is America, Roseanne calls out her detractors and defends her reputation that so many have sought to destroy. Roseanne is defiant as she describes how those that came for her are also seeking to ruin America.Roseanne Barr Is America includes an exclusive interview with Roseanne Barr, exclusive home movies and photographs from her youth, clips of her appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, behind the scenes footage from Roseanne, highlights from her Presidential campaign, and even video proof that she can sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a ballgame.Roseanne Barr.

Send us a textToday, I'm here with my good friend and fellow podcaster, Ken Fong. Every week, the two of us dig deep into the big conversations shaping our lives, our culture, and the soul of our nation. We come to you from different vantage points, different life experiences, but with a shared commitment to truth, curiosity, and connection.This week, we talk about something that's been quietly eroding the way we live together as Americans — the loss of a national audience. Remember when 34 million people tuned in to watch The Cosby Show? Today, Stephen Colbert barely pulls in 3 million viewers. We're living in silos now, fragmented into tribes, each consuming our own narrow stream of information. Entertainment. E pluribus unum — out of many, one — feels more like a historical slogan than a lived reality.We'll also tackle the ongoing culture wars: from attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion, to the rise of a “colorblind” narrative that erases cultural heritage, to the growing movement to merge church and state. Figures like Doug Wilson, Pete Hegseth, Russell Vought, and Charlie Kirk are openly advocating for a theocratic America — one where women are subordinate and “Christian nationalism” rules the land.And beyond politics, we're looking at the real impact of fear and division — from ICE raids in our neighborhoods to the suppression of voices that challenge the status quo.It's time to wake up. Join us in the conversation.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

In this episode of Holy Disruption, host Heather Schott and guest Russell Johnson, the lead pastor of Pursuit Northwest, discuss the impact of cancel culture on the church and its alignment with an antichrist spirit. They explore the differences between secular and ecclesial cancel culture, the misuse of social media, and the biblical foundations of mercy and redemption. They emphasize the need for discernment, accountability, and a focus on restoration within the body of Christ. The conversation calls for Christians to avoid participation in cancel culture and instead pursue unity, holiness, and a culture of mercy. 

13.08.2025 pt 2 In a wide-ranging and unapologetically honest chat, comedian Kurt takes us from the smell of leather bench seats in classic cars to the uncomfortable sting of racism, making the case for humor as a bridge between people. Along the way, he rips into modern cars' soulless designs, the quirks of South Africa's “celebrity” class, and why some insults sting more in certain cultures than others. There's no sacred cow — whether it's customer service disasters, the politics of apologies, or the absurdity of cancel culture, Kurt calls it as he sees it. The conversation swerves between personal and political — one minute dissecting the global decline of genuine fame through the lens of Will Smith, the next debating the raw power of swear words and whether censoring them just makes them stronger. From the grind of running a comedy club to the difference between killing it on stage versus online, it's a masterclass in navigating the modern cultural minefield — all ending with a hilariously bittersweet sign-off about birthdays, ghosted dates, and funeral fashion.

Welcome back to the podcast, Nancy is joining me again today. These have become some of my favorite episodes, getting to do this with her!  Today we're talking about something every marriage needs, and that's forgiveness and grace. We know that even in the best marriages, we hurt each other, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in big ways. The question isn't if we'll need to forgive, but how we can forgive well, and extend grace like God extends grace to us. Our prayer is that this is relatable and encouraging, but also that it inspires you to evaluate the opportunities you have every day to extend grace and forgiveness to your spouse.   Episode Highlights: It's important to acknowledge where you are storing up resentment. Forgiveness is key in the big things, but even more important in the little nuances of life.  Marriage isn't a game to keep score. When you know what a great sacrifice our Savior made, you're able to come before Him and allow His forgiveness to pour through you onto our spouse. Both spouses must own their part of the conflict.    Quotes from Today's Episode: It's easy to get in the habit of score keeping. We have opportunities every day to forgive. If it's a big deal I need to address it, if it's not then I need to let it go. Your marriage is so much happier if you don't let something derail you. This is our marriage, we have to figure out what works for us. When you forgive, it doesn't make the sin okay.  The Holy Spirit has the job of conviction, it's not my job.  Couples' Conversation Guide: Where in our marriage might we be unintentionally "keeping score”? In what areas do you find it difficult to extend grace? How can we shift our mindset? How can we better reflect God's forgiveness towards us in the way we respond to each other's mistakes   Mentioned in this Episode: Find Dr. Kim on Instagram Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram Help your children write God's Word on their hearts with our FREE 11 Bible Verses For Kids to Memorize Parenting in today's society can feel overwhelming, especially when you desire to intentionally shepherd your children toward Christ in a world that preaches quite the opposite.

Today's episode of Joe Untamed is a no-holds-barred deep dive into the fight for America's soul. We're joined by Pedro Israel Orta, a decorated CIA veteran, military patriot, and Christian minister who blew the whistle on deep corruption inside our government—and paid the price. His story is a powerful warning about what happens when those in power silence truth-tellers. We dive into President Trump's push to fix the Census and stop illegal immigrants from skewing congressional power, exposing how sanctuary cities are gaining unfair influence. We break down the shocking ICE raid in Los Angeles, the brutal carjacking in Washington D.C. that has Trump demanding federal control, and a terrifying shooting on a U.S. military base that raises hard questions about security and leadership. We even hit the cultural frontlines, where South Park hilariously—and disturbingly—mocks the radical absurdities of both political extremes. This episode is for every American who loves their country and refuses to sit silent while the system breaks down. If you believe in faith, freedom, and the future of this Republic, you won't want to miss it.

What happens when the work you love, your life's devotion, collides with public scrutiny, betrayal, and cancel culture?In this intimate conversation, I sit down with my closest collaborator and soul sister in this movement, Yolande Norris-Clark. Together, we unpack what it's been like to build groundbreaking programs for women, like our 10-month mentorship, The MatriBirth Mentor Institute (MMI), while simultaneously weathering the storm of online harassment, public misrepresentation, and the many initiations that come with success.This is a raw and honest reflection on navigating backlash, strengthening boundaries, and staying anchored in your values while walking a path most don't understand. We speak to the complex dance of sisterhood and collaboration, and how our friendship has been both tested and deepened by the work we continue to stand for.This episode is for the women who know they're here to disrupt the norm, build what's never been built before, and stay the course even when darkness tries to push back.Inside this episode, we explore:What hate groups taught us about privacy, protection, and spiritual hygieneWhy we chose to rebrand the name of MMI to something that feels more alignedHow scrutiny and slander can catalyze profound personal evolution and maturityThe beauty and necessity of sisterhood that doesn't flinch under fireWhy being rooted in purpose is the only sustainable strategy for enduring cancel cultureWhat it really takes to keep showing up when you know you're being watched in bad faithWe created The MatriBirth Mentor Institute because we know the sovereign birth-work path isn't easy—but it's necessary. MMI is the container for women called to lead in truth, in integrity, and in devotion. This episode is a glimpse into the lived experience of harvesting the fruits of “mob mentality” and doing the inner work to become “uncancellable”.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[04:22] Fear of visibility and public backlash in sovereign birth work[12:54] Processing betrayal and loss of support[22:28] Birth as a political and spiritual battleground[42:05] Finding freedom and accountability in the face of public criticism[54:59] Growing into leadership and re-evaluating boundaries[01:08:32] Building a lasting movement for sovereign birth and mentorshipResources Mentioned:Matriarch Rising Festival | WebsiteThe Lighthouse | WebsiteRadical Birth Keeper School | WebsiteThe MatriBirth Mentor Institute | WebsiteIf you want to connect further with Yolande, give her a follow on Instagram.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

In this open-line Friday segment, the show dives into the cultural firestorm surrounding Sydney Sweeney's Baskin-Robbins ad — and what the backlash says about beauty standards, cancel culture, and political identity in America today. Tara explores how major brands are pushing back against left-wing cultural dominance and why the reaction to Sweeney's image is about more than just aesthetics. Listeners also join the conversation, including a compelling call from Riley in Chesnee, who makes a heartfelt plea for younger voters to get involved in local politics — especially in critical races like sheriff elections. The episode wraps with practical advice for digital activism, including how to build influence and spread truth on platforms like X. A thought-provoking blend of cultural commentary and grassroots organizing, this episode challenges listeners to reject fear, engage the culture, and take back the narrative — one post, one vote, and one conversation at a time.

Shane and Kyle explore various themes including the legacy of music legends like Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne, the complexities of celebrity culture, and the challenges of navigating cancel culture. They discuss the impact of these figures on modern music and society, while also reflecting on the role of intent in communication. They delve into the complexities of separating art from the artist, discussing the impact of controversial figures in music and advertising, explore the implications of AI on creativity and the music industry, while also addressing the pervasive influence of social media on society. The discussion culminates in reflections on the future of human interaction in an increasingly digital world.

The Answer to Cancel Culture? Jesus Followers Must Lead a New Culture of “Grace and Kindness” Respecting the Ideas of Others MESSAGE SUMMARY: Following Jesus the Christ produces a culture of grace, mercy, and kindness is an environment in which there is no griping or murmuring; no putting people down – just respect for the words and ideas of others. Paul relates, in Galatians 5:22-26, and defines the outcomes or “Fruits of the Spirit” and how they relate to a “Culture of Grace”: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.". This culture of grace, mercy, and kindness gives people the benefit of the doubt; and it provides a visible demonstration of how you value other people and their views and perspectives. By providing a culture of Grace and mercy, along with respect for others, you create an atmosphere that is filled with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Also, leading discussions in an environment of Grace and kindness lets others see Jesus in you.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.      Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will serve others (Philippians 2:3f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

It's cancellation season again, although it's not really working the way it used to. Joey Swole, Sydney Sweeney, Anthony Fantano, a mother in New York who died in a mass shooting, have all been deemed by the collective as unacceptable. Is it the Trump effect that is preventing the cancellation from taking hold, or something else? Have we as a society progressed past the need for cancel culture? Ha hahaha ha haaaa hahaha.  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

Host Stefan Lassnig empfängt die Autoren Peter Menasse und Fabian Burstein zum Gespräch über ihr Buch „Generation Delta: Jenseits von Jung und Alt“. Über Generationengrenzen hinweg reflektieren die Gäste, wie gegenseitiges Verständnis und konstruktive Auseinandersetzung helfen können, gesellschaftliche Gräben zu überwinden. Themen wie Klimaaktivismus, Cancel Culture, Wokeness, politische Kommunikation sowie das Verhältnis zwischen alten und neuen Medien werden vielschichtig beleuchtet. Die Diskussion macht deutlich: Fortschritt entsteht nicht aus Gegensätzen, sondern durch aktiven Austausch, Bereitschaft zur Abwägung und Offenheit für neue Lösungswege. Kritik am Reduktionismus politischer Lager, die Bedeutung von Erfahrungen älterer Generationen und die Notwendigkeit, gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen gemeinsam anzugehen, stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Provokante Aussagen, kontroverse Debatten und der Blick auf gesellschaftliche Trends zeichnen diese Episode aus und laden zur weiteren Diskussion ein.Podcastempfehlung der Woche:"Entscheidendes Wissen" von Michel Reimon#Links zur Folge:Generation Delta - Amalthea VerlagORF-Interview zum Buch Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.at

How has the landscape of legal education shifted, and what ramifications has that already started having? How do politics factor into judicial appointments more than ever before, and how did we get to this point?Ilya L. Shapiro is a senior fellow and the director of Constitutional Studies at the Manhattan Institute. He's also the author of several books, including Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites and Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America's Highest Court Cato Supreme Court Review.Greg and Ilya explore issues related to Supreme Court nominations, cancel culture, and the impact of bias in legal education. Their conversation also addresses the longstanding politicization of judicial appointments, challenges within legal academia such as DEI and student activism, and the broader implications for law and society. Ilya also shares potential reforms for improving the legal profession and education system.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:When the law becomes just another form of activism35:49: Another failure of our systems of legal education or of the culture of the legal profession. Young lawyers seeing themselves as the law or their legal tools as just another part of activism, rather than as a profession. Or law schools not teaching lawyers the same way. The way to be a good lawyer is to be able to understand and see all sides of a given argument or issue or dispute. That is how you can best advocate your own sides, your own client's position. Well, if half of that 360 degrees is illegitimate, or you cannot even discuss beyond the pale, outside the Overton window, as they say, then you are going to be a much less effective lawyer. And yes, I think the legal profession has suffered, in general, its credibility, its reputation.What universities were meant to be43:19: It is the purpose of universities to develop, to have free inquiry, to have civil debate, to confront new ideas. And if universities have not been doing that for a whole host of reasons, then I think that is a level of criticism—something that they should be held to account for.On judges and legal objectivity04:36: You would hope that law and policy are different things, because there is a reason why we separate out the judicial power, and that reason is for it to be a counter-majoritarian check. You do not need judges to buttress popular opinions. You need judges to protect against abuses of power by elected officials. You need judges to protect individual rights against mob rule. And so, it cannot be the case that what is right on the law is always going to be what the majority of policy views. When fear shapes the future of the legal profession30:27: Most students just want to get their degree, get their credential, get a job, have some fun while they are at it, and that is about it. They are not politically motivated or philosophically motivated. They are just there because—especially when we are talking about law schools, rather, or some other professional school as opposed to college—they are there because this is the next step on their career trajectory, and they are just trying to keep their head down so as not to be caught in the cancellation crossfire. And it is fear, and this is how I counsel students, is that you do not have to be a martyr. You do not have to stand up and be an individual, objecting to every injustice you face.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Ketanji Brown JacksonBurwell v.

When Progressives Push Too Far | Karel Cast Ep. 106 When Tolerance Goes Too Far Is the left losing the middle? A viral debate over actress Sydney Sweeney's “great genes” (and jeans) shows just how extreme internet outrage culture has become — and it may be pushing everyday people away from progressive causes. Plus, I want you to go to the movies — and I'll tell you what to see and why it matters.

We're going to talk about this string of three dead celebrities who created the 80s (Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Ozzy Osbourne & Hulk Hogan) and how they connect into one large conspiracy theory. We'll start with the Sidney Sweeney scandal, then into the main subjects where we talk about their connections and conspiracies, how it plugs into sex trafficking and Peter Thiel's Dark Enlightenment plans, Gawker's downfall, Hulk Hogan's racist sex tape, adr3n0chr0me, Epstein and a wild Freemason theory that would make James Shelby Downard proud that I cooked up about Trump's trip to Scotland!You can now sign up for our commercial-free version of the show with a Patreon exclusive bonus show called “Morning Coffee w/ the Weishaupts” at Patreon.com/BreakingSocialNorms  OR subscribe on the Apple Podcasts app to get all the same bonus “Morning Coffee” episodes AD-FREE with early access!

On July 24th, Terry Bollea — better known as Hulk Hogan — passed away at the age of 71. I wrote a post reflecting on what that meant to me, and the backlash was swift.In this video, I unpack that post, the controversy that followed, and the deeper meaning behind my words. This isn't about celebrating a flawed man — it's about nostalgia, grief, growing up, and losing the icons of our childhood.➡️ This isn't a tribute to Terry Bollea the person.➡️ This is about Hulk Hogan the character — and what he meant to a generation of kids.➡️ It's about memory, innocence, and the power of holding on to moments that made us feel safe.I confront cancel culture, toxic projection, and the nuance of separating flawed public figures from the personal memories they helped create.Whether you're a wrestling fan, a child of the '80s/'90s, or someone grappling with how we mourn complicated figures — this is for you.

In this episode, Isaac, Ari and Kmele discuss the intricacies of political narratives surrounding the Epstein case and its implications, the candid revelations from Hunter Biden's recent interview, the dynamics of cancel culture, the complexities of climate change discourse, and the evolving landscape of political ideologies. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional perspectives and offers fresh insights into today's most pressing issues.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.
