Episode Notes One of Pride Connection's most inspiring and thought-provoking conversations was with then-Senate aide Laurel Hilbert—a shining example of courage, conviction, and the strength of the human spirit. In this episode, we revisit Laurel's extraordinary journey: from leaving his home country of Syria, to his time in Saudi Arabia, to arriving in the United States knowing only a few words of English—but armed with drawings, dreams, and unstoppable determination. Laurel speaks passionately about the universal truths of democracy, the resilience of the human condition, and what becomes possible when we align our spirit and purpose. But this conversation isn't just about where he's been—it's also about where he's going. Since the passing of his mentor and friend, the late Senator Dianne Feinstein—whom many of us remember as a fighter for justice and democracy—Laurel has taken time away from politics and even from the United States. In this deeply personal update, he shares his own version of an Eat, Pray, Love journey: finding love, learning how to live within grief, and reconnecting with his purpose. Now studying for finals and preparing for the LSAT, Laurel took time out of his busy schedule to reconnect with us, reflect on where life has taken him, and share why he still believes in the future of this country, our intersectional communities, and humanity itself. This powerful and timely episode is a reminder that strength comes in many forms—and that hope, when nurtured, can carry us through even the darkest times. Have thoughts or questions? We'd love to hear from you.

How do we fight back against the broligarchs? Journalist Gil Durán, of the must-read newsletters Nerd Reich and FrameLab, shows the way, in this week's Gaslit Nation.    Jean-Paul Sartre's famous line, “Hell is other people,” from his play No Exit, written in Nazi-occupied France, captured a grievance that mirrored the era's ideological clashes—fascism, communism, and isolationism, often overlapping and competing, fueling Stalin's genocides, the Holocaust, and World War II. The solution to sharing society with others, it seemed, was elimination: kill them.    This is why democracies rely on tolerance—you don't have to like my existence, but you must let me exist in peace. Yet today's tech oligarchs, having amassed unimaginable wealth, would rather invest billions in creating tech colonies and new religions to justify mass murder, enslavement, and C.E.O. king fiefdoms than address world hunger, provide free education, and strengthen social safety nets. Their vision isn't coexistence—they're building an anti-empathy billionaire bunker cult.    Gil Durán, a San Francisco journalist and former editorial page editor of The Sacramento Bee and The San Francisco Examiner, has a front-row view of the rise of the broligarchs, analyzing their fascist justifications for cruelty in his popular newsletter, Nerd Reich. Durán spent over a decade in California politics, serving as chief communications strategist for Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Attorney General Kamala Harris. His work has appeared in The New Republic, Esquire, and PBS. He co-founded Framelab, a newsletter on politics, language, and the brain, with Dr. George Lakoff. Most importantly we discuss: how do we defeat the Nerd Reich and the Vichy Democrats?    This week's bonus for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher continues with Gil Durán of Nerd Reich, examining Democratic leaders as controlled opposition—public allies secretly serving the oligarchs.

The US Presidential debate was yet another example of average Americans struggling to combat sophisticated mis-dis-information and propaganda. In parallel, we have all watched as Amazon was caught engineering their Alexa assistant to favor one political side over the other. A federal judge has also ruled that Google will be punished for illegally monopolizing the internet search market, which furthermore includes the manipulation of accessible data, often altered in favor of corporations and zealot-ideology. Search engines like Bing promote sexual abuse content of children and Instagram connects pedophile networks, just as Google's Dragonfly program was a censorship engine for China that has, at least in concept, been employed against the American people. But it's China warning against Americans spying on Chinese citizens, a report from NBC notes. Meanwhile, Chinese agents like Linda Sun infiltrated the Governor's office of New York; Senator Diane Feinstein employed a Chinese spy for 20 years; Congressman Eric Swalwell was penetrating Christine Fang while she infiltrated him; the Chinese ran a bio-lab in California; China operates police stations in major US cities, and famously Confucius Institutes at Universities. It appears that China has infiltrated schools, local governments, and corporations across the United States. Massive corporations own politicians, foreign governments have easily infiltrated the country, and universities are nothing but programming facilities for generations of drones. Just as the movie Network pointed out in 1976: “There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.” The only difference today is that those most opposed to these companies are nothing but PR representatives, not politicians. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

In this episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Sara begins by covering the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia, where four people are confirmed dead and at least 30 others are injured. Sara emphasizes the urgency for stronger school security measures while calling out those who resist necessary changes. The episode then shifts to the arrest of Linda Sun, a former aide to Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, for working as an unregistered agent of the Chinese Communist Party. Sun's infiltration highlights a growing national security threat, which Sara ties to previous CCP-related scandals, including Eric Swalwell's connection to Chinese spy Fang Fang and Dianne Feinstein's CCP-linked driver. Sara warns that CCP influence is spreading, from land purchases near U.S. military bases to embedding agents within American institutions. The episode takes a darker turn as Sara addresses the disturbing push of radical gender ideology onto young children. Clips reveal shocking products like “packers” being marketed to girls under five to mimic male genitalia. Sara ties this to the broader manipulation by platforms like TikTok, where harmful ideologies are promoted in the U.S. while China censors similar content, further illustrating the insidious nature of these agendas. The episode also exposes the shocking failures in Donald Trump's security detail, with whistleblower accounts revealing how Homeland Security agents were given insufficient training to protect the former president amid alleged threats from Iran. Finally, Sara and her panel review a clip of Peter Doocy pressing White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Kamala Harris' inconsistent accents while campaigning. Sara argues that this disingenuous behavior is a reflection of a deeper dishonesty in leadership. As the election approaches, Sara urges viewers to stay alert and informed about the critical issues shaping America's future. Sara is joined by Glenn Beck's chief writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, and Dave Landau, host of "Normal World" on BlazeTV. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
