To celebrate the release on July 29th of The War on Science, we have recorded 20 podcast interviews with authors from the book. Starting on July 22nd, with Richard Dawkins, we will be releasing one interview per day.

The dialogues are blunt, and provocative, and point out the negative effects that the current war on science going on within universities is having on the progress of science and scholarship in the west. We are hoping that the essays penned by this remarkable group of scholars will help provoke discussion both within universities and the public at large about how to restore trust, excellence, merit, and most important sound science, free speech and free inquiry on university campuses. Many academics have buried their heads in the sand hoping this nonsense will go away. It hasn't and we now need to become more vocal, and unified in combatting this modern attack on science and scholarship. The book was completed before the new external war on science being waged by the Trump administration began. Fighting this new effort to dismantle the scientific infrastructure of the country is important, and we don't want to minimized that threat. But even if the new attacks can be successfully combatted in Congress, the Courts, and the ballot box, the longstanding internal issues we describe in the new book, and in the interviews we are releasing, will still need to be addressed to restore the rightful place of science and scholarship in the west.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cary Carbonaro. A certified financial planner and author of Women and Wealth. 1. Guest Introduction: Cary Carbonaro Certified Financial Planner with 25+ years of experience. Leads a multimillion-dollar financial planning practice. Focuses on empowering women and increasing financial literacy. Promoting her second book: Women and Wealth. 2. Why Cary Wrote the Book To share her 25 years of experience working with women. To address the lack of female-friendly practices in the financial industry. Key stat: “By 2030, women will control two-thirds of the nation’s wealth—$30 trillion.” 4. Challenges in the Financial Industry Industry built by men, for men. Not ready for the shift in wealth ownership to women. Harvard Business Review (2009): “Financial services is the least sympathetic to women and has the most to gain if they get it right.” 5. Financial Planning Philosophy Everyone deserves a financial plan. Quote: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Financial planning includes: Risk management Cash flow Tax strategy Investments Retirement Estate planning 6. Making the Industry Female-Friendly Women often leave their financial advisors after a spouse dies (80% of the time). Reasons: lack of connection, poor communication, feeling ignored. Not a DEI issue, but a dollars and cents issue: “What other industry would ignore a $30 trillion opportunity?” 7. Stereotypes and Societal Expectations Women face pressure to look attractive in professional settings. Stereotypes persist in media and even in AI-generated images. Example: AI generated a man when asked for an image of a financial planner with long hair. 8. Cary’s Personal Journey Inspired by her father, a JPMorgan Chase executive. Grew up learning about money and finance. Built her business by focusing on women, not traditional male-dominated marketing. Quote: “Money equals power, and women need more of both.” 9. The Wealth Gap Beyond the wage gap, the wealth gap is driven by caregiving responsibilities. Termed the “good daughter/spouse penalty.” Lifetime cost to women: $1 million. 10. Call to Action Women should seek financial literacy and independence. Encourage planning before crisis hits. Quote: “Wealth gives you choices in life.”

On today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, listeners explored four compelling headlines. First, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Gina Huynh (formerly “Victim 3” in the case), has written a personal letter to the judge urging he be released on bail prior to his October sentencing. In the letter, she describes him as a “family man” who has reformed and poses no danger to the community, signaling a sharp contrast from her earlier allegations during the trial. Next, rapper Trick Daddy made waves when he shared on the Nene Leakes show that he prefers dating women under age 35, citing his personal values and lifestyle preferences—prompting debate about ageism and dating norms in entertainment culture. In broader news, Black unemployment rates have surged to their highest levels since the pandemic, and many analysts point to the rollback of DEI practices as a contributing factor, particularly affecting Black women in the workforce.

Within the last 24 hours two unelected black-robed tyrannical inferior district trial court judges, both appointed by President Joe “autopen dementia” Biden within the last four years, and both apparently DEI appointments suffering from estrogenic hysteria, have released immigration orders that are drowning in self-deleting empathy and violently counter to long-established immigration law and limitations on the federal district courts over immigration matters. Today, DC District Judge Jia Cobb, class of Biden 2021, has issued an order that is essentially a SCOTUS-prohibited universal injunction against the government's use of well-established expedited removal proceedings to deport illegal alien third-world invaders of our nation. Rather than read the entire 84-pages of estrogenic hysterical nonsense, I'll highlight just some key portions of this order.Worse, and the focus of this show, yesterday California District Judge Trina Thompson—class of Biden 2022—has issued an even more insane order that denies the authority of the American government to impose the “temporary” provision of the “Temporary Protected Status” immigration program of the United States. Judge Thompson both argues, first, that it is within the authority of unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district court judges to determine when a person present under TPS is subject to deportation, and second, that the deportation of TPS aliens is essentially identical to the cross-Atlantic slave trade. Judge Thompson's order we'll break down in its entirety.The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal. Now yours for FREE!

In this episode, Mock and Daisy sit down with former music industry insider turned activist Robby Starbuck to unpack what they see as a cultural tipping point in America.

They also dive into how COVID changed everything for Gen Z, why corporate America is terrified of bold conservative voices, and what it really means when they say, “We need to build our own media.” From teen focus groups to whistleblowers to Hollywood cancel culture, this episode hits every major front in the culture war.

Savage speaks with renowned theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss to discuss the current challenges faced by science. Krauss explains how the politicization of science, and the influence of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives on academia have eroded higher learning.

Today's Headlines: Republican lawmakers in Texas released a redistricting plan that would add five GOP-leaning congressional seats by slicing up Democratic cities—like moving part of Austin into a district with oil-rich Odessa—just ahead of a special legislative session called by Governor Abbott. Meanwhile, the Trump administration launched a new health data-sharing program with over 60 tech firms, and separately proposed major crypto reforms, urging Congress to treat digital assets like securities while pushing for IRS and regulatory rollbacks. Brown University agreed to dismantle its DEI programs in a $50 million deal to unfreeze federal funds, while Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands ramped up pressure on Israel over Gaza, warning of consequences if annexation continues. Trump is expected to greenlight a new Gaza aid distribution plan after today's regional visits by U.S. envoys. He also extended Mexico tariff talks by 90 days, delaying steep levies on cars, metals, and fentanyl-linked goods. Lastly, the CDC reported a rise in kindergarten vaccine exemptions and the highest number of measles cases in over three decades.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau (joining via Neuralink through the beaver) sits in with 1/4 Black Garrett, Angela, and guest Gerard Michaels to take on Pete Buttigieg, $80B in DEI programs, and why America's airports still run on floppy disks while flights are delayed and bridges crumble. They break down Joey Swoll's Hulk Hogan costume apology, how online mobs demand fake contrition, and why you should “post and walk away.” A mischief night pumpkin-smashing story turns into a Hulk Hogan flex that helps them avoid a felony and sparks a rant about cancel culture. From there, the conversation jumps to Sydney Sweeney backlash, American Eagle's clapback, Doja Cat's trolling, Lena Dunham vs. Odell Beckham Jr., Meghan Markle's podcast cringe, and AOC's “Jenny from White Plains” image, showing how comedy is beating outrage. They skewer the “possibly white” headlines around a Cincinnati jazz festival beatdown, highlight Gen Alpha's pushback against woke conformity, and dig into why trades, family, and independence have become the new rebellion, how the debt trap kills purpose, and the cultural cost of two-income households. It all wraps up with Somalia jokes and a list of things they would rather do than picture Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry together.

Last week, clothing brand American Eagle released a series of short clips and images featuring “Euphoria” and “White Lotus” star Sydney Sweeney. They're part of a new jeans marketing campaign – where proceeds from the sale of “The Sydney Jeans” are donated to a domestic abuse crisis hotline. But the provocative nature of the campaign and the messaging of the ads have come under scrutiny. Some critics call Sweeney's collaboration with clothing retailer American Eagle an anti-feminist, pro-eugenics campaign, while others celebrate a seeming shift from DEI-focused marketing. Colby Itkowitz speaks with The Washington Post's fashion critic, Rachel Tashjian, and Style Memo newsletter writer Shane O'Neill about the controversy, the long history of selling fashion through provocative imagery, and why we can't stop talking about Sydney Sweeney's jeans.Today's show was produced by Thomas Lu. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

In today's episode, we cover Fed Holds Rates Steady While Economy Softens The Federal Reserve declines to cut interest rates despite signs of economic slowing and contained inflation. Two Fed governors dissent, a rare move that highlights internal disagreement. Bryan explains why many see this as a political misstep and calls for revisiting the Fed's structure altogether. Good News on GDP and Grocery Prices The economy grew at 3 percent in Q2, partly due to consumers racing to buy before expected tariff hikes. Meanwhile, exemptions for cocoa, coffee, and orange juice under new U.S. tariff rules are welcome news for households and major exporters like Brazil and Vietnam. Trump's Crackdown Reshapes Higher Ed Brown University gives in to Trump's demands to fix DEI policies and receives restored federal funds. Harvard faces investigations and fines over employment practices. Duke, Columbia, Cornell, and others are all in the spotlight as the White House uses financial leverage to reform campus culture. 2026 and 2028 Election Maps Could Be Redrawn Texas and Florida prepare new congressional maps that could flip up to 10 House seats to Republicans. Democrats plot resistance, but a proposed early census counting only U.S. citizens could shift even more seats and electoral votes away from Democrat strongholds. Listener Questions: Burn Bags and Brennan's Claims Bryan answers a question about FBI burn bags and whether they signal cover-ups. He also dissects a new op-ed by former Obama officials John Brennan and James Clapper, breaking down why their defense of the Trump-Russia investigation falls apart under scrutiny.

Meanwhile, cartel operatives are heading to Ukraine for drone training (because why the hell not), and a Swedish ISIS fanatic gets clocked for war crimes. Toss in some missileer cancer cleanup, a grounded Skyraider II PA scandal, and a missing sailor off the USS George Washington… and you've got yourself a full-blown geopolitical migraine.

To celebrate the release on July 29th of The War on Science, we have recorded 20 podcast interviews with authors from the book. Starting on July 22nd, with Richard Dawkins, we will be releasing one interview per day. Interviewees in order, will be:Richard Dawkins July 23rdNiall Ferguson July 24thNicholas Christakis July 25thMaarten Boudry July 26thAbigail Thompson July 27thJohn Armstrong July 28thSally Satel – July 30Elizabeth Weiss – July 31Solveig Gold and Joshua Katz – August 1Frances Widdowson – August 2Carole Hooven – August 3Janice Fiamengo – August 4Geoff Horsman – August 5Alessandro Strumia – August 6Roger Cohen and Amy Wax – August 7Peter Boghossian – August 8Lauren Schwartz and Arthur Rousseau – August 9Alex Byrne and Moti Gorin – August 10Judith Suissa and Alice Sullivan – August 11Karleen Gribble – August 12Dorian Abbot – August 13The topics these authors discuss range over ideas including the ideological corruption of science, historical examples of the demise of academia, free speech in academia, social justice activism replacing scholarship in many disciplines, disruptions of science from mathematics to medicine, cancel culture, the harm caused by DEI bureaucracies at universities, distortions of biology, disingenous and dangerous distortions of the distinctions between gender and sex in medicine, and false premises impacting on gender affirming care for minors, to, finally, a set of principles universities should adopt to recover from the current internal culture war. The dialogues are blunt, and provocative, and point out the negative effects that the current war on science going on within universities is having on the progress of science and scholarship in the west. We are hoping that the essays penned by this remarkable group of scholars will help provoke discussion both within universities and the public at large about how to restore trust, excellence, merit, and most important sound science, free speech and free inquiry on university campuses. Many academics have buried their heads in the sand hoping this nonsense will go away. It hasn't and we now need to become more vocal, and unified in combatting this modern attack on science and scholarship. The book was completed before the new external war on science being waged by the Trump administration began. Fighting this new effort to dismantle the scientific infrastructure of the country is important, and we don't want to minimized that threat. But even if the new attacks can be successfully combatted in Congress, the Courts, and the ballot box, the longstanding internal issues we describe in the new book, and in the interviews we are releasing, will still need to be addressed to restore the rightful place of science and scholarship in the west. I am hoping that you will find the interviews enlightening and encourage you to look at the new book when it is released, and help become part of the effort to restore sound science and scholarship in academia.

Across this sweeping series of segments, a compelling narrative emerges: a broken system is being exposed—and dismantled—by the populist wave ignited under Donald Trump. From the failed predictions of "Tariffmageddon" to a revived American energy dominance, the commentary shreds globalist trade myths and showcases how Trump's economic policies empowered blue-collar workers and challenged the ruling class. But this story goes deeper. The transcripts trace a broader cultural rebellion—highlighting the surprising rise of two-parent households, renewed interest in faith among Gen Z, and a growing rejection of DEI orthodoxy in corporate America. Meanwhile, explosive revelations about FBI “burn bags,” suppressed intelligence on the Russia hoax, and media silence around child trafficking paint a chilling picture of institutional rot. With segments on Nancy Mace's insurgent campaign, crime-ridden sanctuary cities, and Big Tech censorship unraveling, the message is clear: America is at a turning point. These conversations blend righteous outrage, deep historical context, and unapologetic truth-telling to chronicle a nation waking up—spiritually, culturally, and politically—and beginning to fight back.
In this sweeping two-part exposé, the host connects the dots between Donald Trump's misunderstood economic policies and a rising cultural rebellion against globalist and woke ideologies. Part one debunks the myth of “Tariffmageddon,” revealing how Trump's aggressive trade tactics, especially with nations like India and China, led to unexpected economic strength and energy dominance. Part two shifts focus to the cultural front, where major corporations are backing away from DEI mandates and leftist activism, signaling the collapse of a decade-long ideological grip. Together, the segments paint a picture of an America that's not just recovering — but reasserting itself economically, politically, and spiritually.
Many law firm owners want to foster inclusive workplaces—but aren't sure how to do it without missteps or performative gestures. Professor Tanya Hernandez of Fordham Law School joins Stephanie Everett to unpack what DEI really means, where it comes from legally, and how small firms can approach it with clarity and intention. The conversation explores how unconscious bias shows up in hiring and evaluation, why culture fit can be a red flag, and how to implement practical guardrails that promote fairness without needing a big HR department. Tanya also clears up legal misconceptions about DEI post–Supreme Court ruling and offers smart, research-backed tips for making firms more equitable—without making a scene. This episode is a thoughtful guide for law firm leaders who want to build stronger, fairer teams—one intentional decision at a time.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest Lectionary: 404The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of LoyolaSaint Ignatius of Loyola's Story The founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame and fortune when a cannon ball shattered his leg. Because there were no books of romance on hand during his convalescence, Ignatius whiled away the time reading a life of Christ and lives of the saints. His conscience was deeply touched, and a long, painful turning to Christ began. Having seen the Mother of God in a vision, he made a pilgrimage to her shrine at Montserrat near Barcelona. He remained for almost a year at nearby Manresa, sometimes with the Dominicans, sometimes in a pauper's hospice, often in a cave in the hills praying. After a period of great peace of mind, he went through a harrowing trial of scruples. There was no comfort in anything—prayer, fasting, sacraments, penance. At length, his peace of mind returned. It was during this year of conversion that Ignatius began to write down material that later became his greatest work, the Spiritual Exercises. He finally achieved his purpose of going to the Holy Land, but could not remain, as he planned, because of the hostility of the Turks. Ignatius spent the next 11 years in various European universities, studying with great difficulty, beginning almost as a child. Like many others, his orthodoxy was questioned; Ignatius was twice jailed for brief periods. In 1534, at the age of 43, he and six others—one of whom was Saint Francis Xavier—vowed to live in poverty and chastity and to go to the Holy Land. If this became impossible, they vowed to offer themselves to the apostolic service of the pope. The latter became the only choice. Four years later Ignatius made the association permanent. The new Society of Jesus was approved by Pope Paul III, and Ignatius was elected to serve as the first general. When companions were sent on various missions by the pope, Ignatius remained in Rome, consolidating the new venture, but still finding time to found homes for orphans, catechumens, and penitents. He founded the Roman College, intended to be the model of all other colleges of the Society. Ignatius was a true mystic. He centered his spiritual life on the essential foundations of Christianity—the Trinity, Christ, the Eucharist. His spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam—“for the greater glory of God.” In his concept, obedience was to be the prominent virtue, to assure the effectiveness and mobility of his men. All activity was to be guided by a true love of the Church and unconditional obedience to the Holy Father, for which reason all professed members took a fourth vow to go wherever the pope should send them for the salvation of souls. Reflection Luther nailed his theses to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. Seventeen years later, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society that was to play so prominent a part in the Catholic Reformation. He was an implacable foe of Protestantism. Yet the seeds of ecumenism may be found in his words: “Great care must be taken to show forth orthodox truth in such a way that if any heretics happen to be present they may have an example of charity and Christian moderation. No hard words should be used nor any sort of contempt for their errors be shown.” One of the greatest ecumenists was the 20th-century German Jesuit, Cardinal Augustin Bea.

Both Dan's stories seem to present exceptionally strong evidence for life after death. The first comes from the state of Illinois and is the exceptionally strange late 19th century tale of the Watseka Wonder. Then his second story takes us back to the early 18th century to Canterbury, England. Did famed English author Daniel Defoe write the first based-on-a-true story ghost encounter claim? Lynze begins the back half of the show with a creepy encounter with a shadowy figure inside of the mind of someone playing a game. Then, we are off to New Orleans where we hear about two fans strange stay in a French Quarter hotel. Monthly Patreon Donation: This months charitable donation is going to Ignite Adaptive Sports. Ignite Adaptive Sports mission is to provide snow sport opportunities to people with disabilities. They believe that everyone should be able to enjoy winter sports, regardless of skill or ability level. We are a volunteer based organization that provide snow sport lessons to athletes with disabilities out of Eldora Mountain Resort. In 2024, 320 volunteers gave 22,390 hours of their time to provide 1,690 snowsports lessons to 459 athletes. Ignite Adaptive Sports provides sit skiing lessons, cross country and snowshoe lessons, downhill skiing, snowboarding and ski biking lessons. They rely on grants, donations, an annual fundraising gala, and our host mountain Eldora to be able to provide this much needed service. Dan and Lynze had the pleasure of meeting Sam Brady who works with this great non profit. Sam shared with us that Ignite Adaptive Sports is run by almost all volunteers with only 2 paid staff members. They typically receive funding for disabled veterans to be able to receive lessons at no cost to them. However, this year, due to budget cuts in the DEI space, it's not looking good. Sam asked if we'd be interested in supporting this cause and supporting disabled people, especially disabled veterans. We sent $11,600 over to them and put another $1250 into the scholarship fund!

Hey, listeners! Somewhere in my notes app is a list of people I'd like to interview for the podcast, and today I get to cross off one of those names–Youngmi Mayer. I've wanted to talk to Youngmi ever since I read her memoir, “I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying,” which I picked up after seeing her perform a stand-up routine at the Bell House in Brooklyn earlier this year as part of an abortion rights fundraiser hosted by Padma Lakshmi. Youngmi's set was heavy on audience participation and she somehow got three white guys to join her onstage for a bit about DEI. (Yes, Youngmi somehow made DEI funny.) I left thinking she was as subversive as she was brilliant. Fast forward to the book. This was a story about family, generational trauma, racial identity, and one very complicated restaurant business. (Youngmi was a key player in the history of Mission Chinese Food.) The book title starts to make sense early on. Youngmi joins me to talk about all of this. We also chat about the Slutty Cheff, “The Bear,” her one-woman show at Joe's Pub, and lots more. Thanks in advance for listening to the show and obviously, pick up Youngmi's book. Let me know what you think. –Host Kerry DiamondTickets for Jubilee L.A.Join the waitlist for our Summer Tastemaker TourSubscribe to Cherry Bombe's print magazineMore on Kerry: InstagramPast episodes and transcripts

Greywashing 101: The Illusion of Including Older Workers You've heard it before: “We value experience.” Then they ghost you for having it! Welcome to greywashing. The corporate costume party where age inclusion is just a mask and older professionals are quietly filtered out by AI, ATS, and coded language. Lines like, “you're overqualified” or “we want a digital native…” simply translate to: You're too old, too seasoned, and too expensive. The illusion of inclusion is real. But this isn't just bias. It's a fully blown business epidemic hidden in plain sight. Nearly half of professionals over 40 say they've been shut out because of their age, yet only 8% of DEI programs even acknowledge it. On the other hand, companies like Workday, IBM, Facebook, and PWC are under legal fire for allowing AI-driven tools to quietly screen out older applicants. This isn't progress; this is exclusion with a new interface. In this episode, I expose the truth behind performative inclusion and show you how to spot it, expose it, and outsmart it.

In this explosive monologue, the host unpacks the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, arguing it signals a dramatic shift in corporate and cultural power. What appears to be outrage over “sexist” marketing is reframed as a panic among progressive elites who've lost their grip on the advertising industry. The commentary claims that under the influence of Barack Obama and the Human Rights Campaign, corporations were pressured into pushing hyper-woke narratives—sacrificing traditional portrayals of masculinity, femininity, and heterosexuality. But now, with companies like Ford, Lowe's, and Coors retreating from DEI mandates and LGBT scoring systems, the segment sees the Sweeney ad as a watershed moment: a return to “normal” culture and free expression. The fight, the host argues, isn't about jeans—it's about the end of a censorship-industrial complex that once ruled Madison Avenue.
In this episode, Senator Marsha Blackburn breaks down the dangers of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies infiltrating American education.
