America is being weaponized, Glenn argues, by bloated and corrupt government programs like Obamacare. Republics fall apart when citizens begin to defend the crooked programs and the politicians who implemented them. BlazeTV host of “Relatable” Allie Beth Stuckey joins to discuss the ongoing threat of Islam and whether or not the GOP is doing enough to fight back against that threat. BlazeTV host of “Rufo & Lomez” Christopher Rufo joins to discuss how Minnesota taxpayers were unknowingly funding the terror group Al-Shabaab.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Federal prosecutors have charged dozens of people with defrauding Minnesota social programs since 2020, and recent reporting has highlighted the links between the fraud schemes and the Somali-American community. In November, a report authored by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo and published in City Journal — a periodical funded by the conservative think tank The Manhattan Institute — highlighted the fraud's concentration among the state's Somali community and claimed the funds were partially directed to the Somali-based terrorist group Al-Shabaab. On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the agency would be opening an investigation into Gov. Tim Walz's (D) oversight of the programs beset by alleged fraud; the House Oversight Committee opened its own probe into the programs on Tuesday.

The guys get honest about the downsides of capitalism but explain that socialism isn't the answer to those problems. Glenn breaks down Blaze News' investigation that reveals a former Capitol Police officer is a forensic match for the Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to intelligence sources.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock reveals why so many viewers have ESPN fatigue and why ESPN will not win the battle with its main competitor, YouTube. Whitlock lists the series of DEI personalities the network has promoted in recent years who have turned viewers off, including Stephen A. Smith, Jemele Hill, Elle Duncan, Ryan Clark, and Mina Kimes. Whitlock also offers insight into former ESPN executive Mark Shapiro's remarks about sports betting conversation infiltrating programming. Guest Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on ESPN's demise and to rank the worst woke ESPN broadcasters. Paul Burkhardt and Jay Skapinac join Whitlock and Kim to discuss Antonio Brown being extradited from Dubai to the U.S. to face murder charges and how the Denver Broncos are 8-2 but remain a mediocre team. Whitlock and Burkhardt close out the show with Whitlock's Fearless Five football picks of the week, predicting which teams will be victorious over the weekend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZCJXTdch2E Podcast audio: In this episode of ARI Bookshelf, Sam Weaver, Ben Bayer, Nikos Sotirakopoulos and Ibis Slade critically examine America's Cultural Revolution by Christopher Rufo and The Identity Trap by Yascha Mounk. Among the topics covered: Nature of “woke” ideology; “Domino” view of ideological influence; Influence of right-wing ideas; Rufo's authoritarianism; Mounk's egalitarianism and collectivism; Books' perspectives on real injustices; Merits of Mounk's book; Weakness of Rufo's critiques; Rufo's un-American tribalism; Influence of postmodern epistemology; Why “woke” ideology isn't Marxism Recommended in this podcast are Ayn Rand's essay “The Left: Old and New”, Rand's book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, and Leonard Peikoff's book The DIM Hypothesis. This episode was recorded on October 3, 2025, and posted on October 10, 2025.

Glenn starts the show by reading a statement made by Christopher Rufo regarding America's ongoing support for the nation of Israel. Is criticizing Israel equated to anti-Semitism? Glenn argues no, explaining why supporters of Israel must defend their position from the perspective of American interests. Glenn also calls out the evil of Islamism and the threat it poses to Israel and America. Glenn goes through some of the lessons he shared during his Turning Point USA event at the University of North Dakota. Cut this generation some slack, Glenn argues, because he sees something happening within them that gives him hope. Rutgers University Turning Point charter members Ava Kwan and Megyn Doyle join to discuss the backlash they've received since authoring a petition to remove a professor with the nickname “Dr. Antifa.” Glenn speaks with a young athlete named Frances Staudt, who, after refusing to play basketball with a male identifying as a woman, required security to speak at an event advocating for the protection of women's sports. “Mount Doom” co-author Paul List discusses what J.R.R. Tolkien predicted about artificial intelligence and transhumanism in “The Lord of the Rings.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Repurposing Gramsci, the Frankfurt School, and Alinsky's Tactics by the “Woke Right” Risks Eroding Constitutional Freedoms and Deepening America's Political Divide During our podcast break, enjoy this replay of Courtenay's appearance on The Mikala Olson Podcast from May 2025 Key topics: Courtenay's origin: Fleeing Santa Monica's mandates, starting podcasting for "naked face" conversations, overcoming isolation with 750+ episodes. Woke right phenomenon: Right-wing figures (e.g., Christopher Rufo) adopting Marxist tactics (Frankfurt School, Alinsky's rules) to push agendas, mirroring left-wing strategies. Historical tactics: Fabian incrementalism, indie media as propaganda, and the long march through institutions (e.g., churches, education) to subvert constitutions. Cultural shifts: Grievance mentality, cancel culture, identity politics, and the erosion of critical thinking due to infiltrated education and psychology. Solutions: Embracing principles over strategy, resisting outsourcing thought to personalities, and encouraging self-directed learning (e.g., scripture, primary sources).

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has been especially active and visible over the past week with developments spanning science advocacy, public speaking, and media attention. He recently appeared on HBO's “Overtime with Bill Maher” alongside Frank Bruni and Christopher Rufo, engaging in a lively debate on issues ranging from free speech to modern culture—a segment that generated strong buzz among both neuroscience followers and general viewers, with PBS News Weekend and CBS Evening News recapping highlights. On the business front, Huberman continues to expand his podcast's reach, with “Huberman Lab” dropping two major episodes. The first, “Science and Health Benefits of Belief in God and Religion,” featured Dr. David DeSteno and explored topics that go well beyond neuroscience: the impact of religious rituals on mental health, nuanced distinctions between community-based support and faith-based resilience, and the intersection of AI and religious experience. This episode attracted tens of thousands of viewers and contributed to ongoing discussions about how belief systems affect longevity and psychological wellbeing, as confirmed by David DeSteno's longitudinal research at Northeastern University. A fresh “Huberman Lab Essentials” episode focused on fasting and time-restricted eating, distilling decades of metabolic research from Stanford's Christopher Gardner and Salk Institute's Satchin Panda. Here, Huberman shared protocol-level advice on 8-hour feeding windows, the circadian rhythm's role in fat loss, and how even simple strategies—like post-meal walking—can accelerate glucose clearance. Social media is abuzz with references to these episodes, amplified by Huberman's trademark dissemination of evidence-based actionable routines, including his Daily Blueprint which remains a top resource for his 800,000-plus newsletter subscribers, as confirmed on his site.Notably, a viral Men's Journal article revealed Huberman's top “dog trick” for instant stress relief, pointing readers to short, rapid breathing as a potent tool for anxiety—this simple protocol was highlighted by Huberman as rooted in comparative animal behavior and neuroscience and has already been widely circulated among health and wellness creators. Meanwhile, the anticipation grows for his public keynote at the Summit of Greatness in Los Angeles next month. Lewis Howes announced on Threads that Huberman is a headline speaker, with tickets already in high demand, and numerous videos on social media document the excitement and scramble for seats. There is no credible evidence of controversy, major business pivots, or speculative claims about his activities. The overarching headlines emphasize Huberman's unflagging pace in both science outreach and mainstream discourse, cementing his status as not just a leading neuroscientist but a cultural force in the public understanding of health and human performance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

I felt a burning need to discuss this, and so we did, plus many other media/culture topics. Subjects include but aren't limited to…* Christopher Rufo vs. Doreen St. Félix leading to nothing = Culture Cold War* Why nobody is able to cancel anyone else now* Are we in a Culture Cold War forever?* Is culture NOT zero sum?* How the Internet breaks our moral intuitions* PTSD for those of us who remained sane in 2020* The “you can't criticize me” defense from those who just lost cultural power* We will never have a shared reality ever again* Culture War matters* How Mike would advise Disney on how to win back Zoomer males* Why does “moral inversion” exist and why is it prevalent now?* Why Mike supports hearing Aella out, but understands the backlash to her

Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. In this crucial episode of the Parents' Right in Education podcast, we dive deep into the escalating trend of student protests across college campuses and their potential to infiltrate K-12 education. The recent violent protests at institutions like Columbia, City College, and UCLA, driven by issues such as the conflict in Gaza, underscore a shift toward increasing activism within our schools.We'll discuss how organizations like Advocates for Youth are actively recruiting young individuals, training them in advocacy for topics like reproductive justice and LGBTQ rights, further blurring the lines between education and activism. Special focus is given to the situation in Portland, Oregon, where public schools have adopted a curriculum deeply rooted in critical race theory, portraying America in a negative light and pushing students toward a race-based revolutionary mindset.Our guests will explore Christopher Rufo's insights into how this "pedagogy of the oppressed" replaces traditional education with political activism, creating a "school-to-radicalism pipeline." This systemic approach not only fosters division but potentially qualifies as a betrayal of the very principles upon which the American education system was founded.Join us as we discuss the implications of these educational practices, the need for mental health support for students indoctrinated under these ideologies, and the critical importance of restoring traditional American educational values to counteract this disturbing trend. This episode is a call to action for parents and educators alike to stand up for local control of education systems and teach students to honor the U.S. Constitution, law and order, and individual freedom.The article, published in May of 2021, titled Child Soldiers of Portland, by Christopher Rufo described the Oregon city, known for its political protesters: Anarchists, Communists, ecofascists, and other agitators denouncing police, and America itself.Support the showIf you need assistance with a situation in your area, please fill out our free consultation form.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com
