Podcasts about Dobson

Reps. David Scott (D-GA) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) appeared to “doze off” during Donald Trump's SOTU address. On our radar this week… “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”  – George Orwell, “1984” We opened last week's podcast with those words from Orwell's prescient dystopian novel. On Tuesday, Donald Trump lived those words in a gibbering, rambling, bitter, divisive, partisan, and lie-filled one-hour 47-minute diatribe. The speech was boycotted by dozens of Democrats … and a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court and, based on the TV ratings, the majority of Americans. Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, in the official Democratic response, summed up Trump in one biting paragraph: “…who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress? Somebody must be benefiting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the coverup of the Epstein files, the crypto scams cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our. Nations capital. This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot. So I’ll ask again. Is the president working for you? We all know the answer is no.” Ryan Garza – Detroit Free Press A day later, Governor Whitmer offered her 8th and final State of the State assessment: realistic, grounded in reality, and a reflection of someone whose approval rating is 15 points higher than Trump's. Multiple polls show a stunning 60+ percent of Americans say Trump sucks while Whitmer's approval has consistently been in the low-to-mid 50's. Whitmer's speech focused on “kitchen table” issues: affordability, medical debt, housing and literacy. She somehow forgot to label Republicans as “Low IQ”, “Crazy”, “Lunatics” or responsible for all of Michigan's problems … she didn't even once blame anything on Rick Snyder … but she did take the opportunity to brag about Michigan athletes dominating the U.S. medal count at the Olympics. And she even high-fived House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall for working collaboratively on sick-time legislation! The contrasts between those two speeches frame this week's discussion. Later in the podcast, we are joined by two anti-authoritarian experts to discuss an issue facing many American families and neighbors: how we can talk with each other in this era of often-angry partisan divisions – and why it is critical that we do. We've all been there. Going to the Sunday family dinner that always devolves into a debate about Trump. A few of my extended family members are MAGA to the point where we avoid politics completely. Scrolling through Facebook and encountering that childhood friend whose feed has become a minefield of MAGA memes. For a decade, the conventional wisdom for surviving the American political divide has been “don't go there.” We've treated political topics like radioactive waste—best left buried for the sake of the relationship. The folks at the Democracy Investment Fund think that silence is costing us more than we realize. Their new free app, LSTN2U, is a bet on a radical idea: that we can actually talk to each other again, provided we stop trying to “win.” LSTN2U isn't a social media network or a news aggregator. It's essentially a flight simulator for difficult conversations. The free, nonpartisan app provides a judgment-free digital resource where users can practice realistic dialogue. We're joined by the two people behind this optimistic approach to politics: my friends Erin Dobson and Trygve Olson. LSTN2U is a free app: no upsells or hidden fees. Your data is not sold or used commercially. LSTN2U emphasizes: Active Listening: Truly hearing the “why” behind someone's “what.” Emotional Awareness: Identifying when your own “fight or flight” response is hijacking the logic centers of your brain. Boundary Setting: Learning how to stay in a conversation without losing your peace of mind—and knowing when it's OK to step back. Other issues on our radar this week that, in more normal times, would occupy an entire podcast include The appearance that Donald “Give Me the Nobel Peace Prize” Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran … a war that could rival the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in futility, and further alienate the United States from the world. This comes six months after Trump claimed to have obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. Apparently obliteration has a short shelf life. The Epstein cover-up became even more evident with the revelation that dozens of documents pointing directly at Trump … including allegations of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl … have been hidden by the utterly corrupt Pam Bondi. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are more interested in the Clintons, with Bill and Hillary dragged in front of the House Oversight Committee this week for depositions that will keep the Epstein story in the headlines … but provide little else. After the Supreme Court told him his tariffs were illegal, Trump doubled down by imposing a 10 percent then 15 percent tariff on all imports. If, as Trump says, those tariffs would replace the federal income tax, it would be a huge financial windfall for the highest income taxpayers … his billionaire buddies, shifting the tax load to low- and middle-income families. Republicans are pushing to pass a bill to combat non-existent voter fraud. The so-called “SAVE” act would, in reality, burdening millions of Americans as they exercise their right to vote by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The proof: either a birth certificate or passport. Millions of American citizens, including low-income, minorities, seniors, and -get this- women who have a different last name than they were born with, would have to jump through hoops and incur costs to comply. FBI Director Kash Patel spent $1-million or more of taxpayer money for a thinly disguised junket to the Olympics, culminating with chugging beer with the victorious U.S. men's hockey team. Of course, he claimed official business as an excuse for his trip. New polling shows the race for Governor appears to show the race is a statistical tie, with Democrat Jocelyn Benson narrowly leading Republican John James and independent Mike Duggan. But the polling raises questions, especially because the poll was commissioned by supporters of Mike Duggan. The poll assumes James will be the survivor of a four-way GOP primary race, with 78-year-old Perry Johnson promising now to spend $10-million over the next few weeks in a statewide advertising blitz. Legislation has been introduced to limit the use of artificial intelligence to monitor workplace activity. State Representative Penelope Tsernoglou joined with Michigan AFL CIO President Ron Bieber to warn of abuses already happening as some employers use A.I. to monitor everything from computer activity to bathroom breaks. State House Speaker Matt Hall is floating a property tax relief plan funded by enacting a new tax on services – an idea once promoted unsuccessfully by Jennifer Granholm. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE officers will not interfere with voting precincts in November … but a lot of people are skeptical given the history of voting fraud conspiracy promoters making the promise.

We start the episode with the family doing a Mother's Day event. You know that even with Lego on the mic, The Stache was the real draw. Plus,the family gets their picture "made"...slowly but slowly. In our Dig, we explore James Dobson's book "The Strong-Willed Child: Birth Through Adolescence". Our disgust for this vacuous trash bag and the book he wrote cannot be understated. The entire book is a way for Dobson to get sleep at night and justify villainizing your children and beating them. Alternate titles could have been "I don't mean to promote child abuse, but....."

New workplace testing results reveal cocaine detections have sharply risen across the country. The Drug Detection Agency's results for the three months to December show cocaine was present in 3.7% of positive tests – more than double the amount from last quarter. Bay of Plenty, Auckland West, and Waikato were identified as the regions with the sharpest rises. Chief Executive Glenn Dobson told Mike Hosking that New Zealand already has a strong use base of methamphetamine, and now they're starting to see a real increase in cocaine usage, which is a real concern for them.

In recent weeks, headlines linked James Dobson's name to Jeffrey Epstein. Then came the claim that Dobson and Epstein are “on the same team.”That's a serious accusation.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, we carefully examine:• What actually happened in the Epstein files• Whether James Dobson was fairly represented• Sheila Wray Gregoire's response• The role of egalitarian theology in this controversy• Claims about purity culture and abuse• Whether guilt-by-association reasoning is creeping into Christian discourseThis conversation isn't about personalities. It's about sound theology, intellectual honesty, and how Christians should handle public accusations.We need clarity. We need discernment. And we need to test all things.Timestamps:0:00 – Why This Matters2:15 – The Epstein Files & James Dobson6:30 – What Actually Happened9:45 – The Media Framing12:20 – Sheila Wray Gregoire's Claim16:10 – Purity Culture & Abuse Accusations21:30 – The Survey Question Concerns26:40 – Misusing Research & Data30:00 – The Deeper Theological Issue33:45 – Why This Is Bigger Than Dobson

In this episode of Straight White American, Jesus, we dig into the disturbing revelation that James Dobson's name appears among the Epstein files. :Why would Epstein recommend a James Dobson article to a young woman he was grooming—and what does that reveal about Dobson's theology of family, gender, authority, and forgiveness. Drawing on the work of DL Mayfield and others, the episode unpacks how Dobson's advice reframes abuse, minimizes male responsibility, and shifts moral and emotional labor onto women—precisely the kind of framework that predators find useful. From there, the conversation moves beyond the email itself to a larger, under explored connection: Dobson's influence in post-Soviet Russia and how American evangelical “family values” helped shape the ideological foundations of Putin-era authoritarianism. Tracing Dobson's reach through Focus on the Family, the World Congress of Families, and Russian Orthodox moral politics, the episode shows how a shared logic of patriarchy, control, and unquestionable authority links Dobson, Epstein, and Putin—not through coordination, but through a common worldview. The through line is power without accountability, and the devastating consequences of theological and political systems that teach people—especially women and children—that their bodies are not their own.

WarRoom Battleground EP 912: Three Giants: Falwell, Dobson, And Robertson

This year, four remarkable men passed away — John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, James Dobson, and Charlie Kirk. A bold expository preacher, MacArthur defended the Lordship of Christ and the true Gospel for 56 years, refusing to close his church during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Baucham, another lion in the pulpit, championed Scripture's teaching on the sufficiency of scripture, the centrality of the church, social justice, male headship, family-integrated churches, and much more. Dobson called Christians to prioritize and protect their family life. And Kirk — martyred at 31 — fearlessly proclaimed his faith on college campuses, urging young people to reject the world's lies and embrace biblical manhood and womanhood. With their passing, the work now falls on us to continue.

On June 6, 1944, over 150,000 American, British, and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate the people of France during World War II, a day now known as D-Day. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson shares personal memories from his visit in 2010 to the Normandy American Cemetery in France, where 4,400 Allied soldiers are buried. The opening scene of the film, Saving Private Ryan, captured both the raw horror and the indisputable heroism of the men who sacrificed their lives for freedom on that shore 81 years ago. You'll be transported to that moment in time as Dr. Dobson and his guests honor those courageous men who lost their lives.

The holidays are here, and for a lot of caregivers raising individuals with FASD, this isn't the season of calm and cozy.It's the season where routines explode, nerves fray, school schedules flip, people show up unannounced, and you're trying to keep everyone safe while the world tells you to “make memories.”That's why all month long, The FASD Success Show is bringing you the Holiday Sanity Series — conversations that unpack the science, the stress, and the strategies that actually make life work for families like ours.And to kick things off, I'm joined by Melissa Dobson, caregiver, mom of three teens, and Co-Chair of the Family Advisory Committee at CanFASD.Melissa's story is one that every caregiver will recognize. She's been through the system fights, the school meetings, the sleepless nights, and the constant rebuilding that happens after everything falls apart.But instead of letting it break her, she's learned how to take the hard stuff, the setbacks, the overwhelm, the sh*t life throws at you, and turn it into rocket fuel.In This Episode You'll HearWhy you can't fight every battle and why that's not weakness. Chronic advocacy keeps your body in survival mode. The brain doesn't know the difference between emotional stress and physical danger. It releases cortisol and adrenaline either way. Melissa shares how she learned to pause, recover, and fight from a place of regulation instead of burnout.How rebuilding routines repairs the brain. For individuals with FASD, predictability equals safety. Every time you rebuild after chaos, you're helping the brain re-establish order, calm the amygdala, and bring the thinking brain back online.Connection isn't a luxury. It's co-regulation. When we connect with someone who feels safe, our brains release oxytocin, the chemical that quiets the stress response. Melissa explains how community and shared experience have helped her stay grounded and steady her kids through hard seasons.Letting things fall apart isn't failure. It's flexibility. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop holding everything together. Letting go of old routines and traditions that don't fit your child's needs isn't giving up. It's creating space for the brain to adapt and grow in new ways.Advocacy works best when you're regulated. When your nervous system is calm, your prefrontal cortex — the part responsible for reasoning, empathy, and problem-solving — stays engaged. Melissa shows how advocacy rooted in regulation creates real change instead of constant exhaustion.Why It MattersThis season isn't about perfection. It's about protection.When you build your holidays around regulation instead of expectation, your family's nervous systems can actually handle the joy.Regulated brains learn better, connect better, and recover faster.And that includes yours.Melissa's story reminds us that you can't control everything that comes your way, but you can decide what to do with it.You can turn frustration into focus.You can turn chaos into clarity.And yes, you can turn sh*t into rocket fuel.Because regulation isn't the reward you get for surviving the season.It's the foundation that makes everything else possible.That's your one good thing this week.Resources & LinksConnect with Melissa Dobson Co-Chair, Family Advisory Committee — CanFASD.caJoin Our Community Free Caregiver Group: facebook.com/groups/FASDforeverWatch & LisSupport the show
