For tickets visit: 1210wpht.com 3:30pm- Hans Von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to charges brought against Charlie Kirk's alleged killer. Spakovsky also weighs in on comments recently made by Attorney General Pam Bondi during an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast regarding “hate speech.” Bondi explained: “There's free speech, and then there's hate speech. And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech." But isn't that a First Amendment violation?
This week's episode is a collaboration with comedian Michael Regilio, host of Regilio v Everything. We talk about being dumb, young, and punk—which for Michael meant being a young Republican in high school. I take a trip down memory lane of that time I was cancelled in Dallas. And Michael shares with me all the insane things I had no idea were happening in the world. Did Michael scare me? Yes. But I'm still hopeful for the future. And I'm looking forward to Michael's forthcoming comedy special.

Send us a textMarshall Davis Jones opens his heart and shares his profound journey through forgiveness in this soul-stirring conversation about healing, poetry, and personal liberation. A five-time TEDx speaker whose poems have been flown into space by NASA, Marshall reveals how the practice of forgiveness transformed not only his relationships but also healed debilitating physical pain.Through vivid storytelling, Marshall takes us through his evolution from writing viral poetry that reinforced blame to crafting poems that embody accountability and wholeness. His turning point came when he made two pivotal phone calls—one to his mother and one to his father—to speak his truth with clear boundaries: he would speak once, they would never discuss it again, and they couldn't respond. "The morning after," Marshall shares, "I woke up and I was like 'I'm an adult now. I can take full accountability for my life because I can no longer blame my parents for why I am the way I am.'"The highlight of our conversation arrives when Marshall performs his never-before-shared poem "The Body Keeps the Score," a masterpiece weaving metaphors about tennis, physical pain, and the necessity of forgiveness. His message resonates with bone-deep truth: "You won't forget, but damn it, you must forgive, because holding on to this will kill any reason to live." Marshall illuminates the three essential elements of healing—agency (the right to act), autonomy (the right to choose), and accountability—revealing how forgiveness becomes possible when we reclaim our power rather than projecting blame outward.Whether you're struggling with family relationships, physical pain with emotional roots, or simply seeking to embody your highest values, Marshall's wisdom offers a roadmap for genuine transformation. Listen, share with someone who needs to hear this message, and if you're feeling spiritually stuck, book a free discovery call through the link in the show notes.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Send us a textIn this heartfelt episode of the Love Anarchy podcast, host Andrea Atherton sits down with fellow podcaster and storyteller Darion Morris — founder of the Decree of Dominion podcast, and author of a dark fantasy series by the same name. Both Andrea and Darion have created platforms rooted in emotional truth, healing, and the power of storytelling. As seasoned hosts, they reflect on what it means to hold space for others, the courage it takes to share our most vulnerable moments, and the unexpected ways podcasting has transformed them personally and spiritually.Their conversation weaves together their shared belief in the power of narrative — not just to entertain, but to heal and connect. Darion speaks candidly about how his podcast was born from a journey through domestic violence, mental health challenges, and reclaiming identity as a Black man. Andrea brings her deep knowledge of archetypes and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to the dialogue, exploring how the inner characters we all carry — the protector, the exile, the inner child — show up in Darion's work, in his fantasy-based book, and in all of our relationships. Together, they uncover how these frameworks offer a powerful lens for healing trauma and making peace with our past.As two podcasters who have witnessed countless stories of pain, growth, and transformation, Andrea and Darion discuss the emotional responsibility of their work — and the deep connections that form when people feel truly seen. Their dynamic is open, honest, and filled with wisdom about the human experience. This episode is an invitation to explore not only what we've lived through, but who we become when we choose to speak our truth. Whether you're a creator, a seeker, or someone simply trying to make sense of your own inner world, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and a deep sense of belonging.Darion Morrishttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553945107288&mibextid=ZbWKwLhttps://www.instagram.com/decreedominion24?igsh=MTI2OG0yaTJsdjdoNg==https://open.spotify.com/show/3baqfLPOdmCaTQ4DzJuaQ1?si=EkjEJBMBSz-KzOjZzL1ERAhttps://youtube.com/@darklawdominion96?si=o0z7eWsUJz7P3_9r30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/
C dans l'air du 10 septembre 2025 - Lecornu arrive...Les blocages s'installent ?Il faut « des ruptures sur le fond » et « pas que sur la forme ». Le ministre des Armées, nommé mardi soir par Emmanuel Macron, a pris le relais de François Bayrou à Matignon lors d'une passation de pouvoir éclair, mercredi à la mi-journée. Après avoir remercié son prédécesseur pour son « extraordinaire courage », le nouveau Premier ministre a promis d'être « plus créatif » et « plus sérieux dans la manière de travailler avec nos oppositions ».« On va y arriver », a-t-il lancé, avant de débuter, cet après-midi, une série de consultations des partis politiques. Il doit en effet s'entretenir avec le patron de Renaissance, Gabriel Attal, Bruno Retailleau et Laurent Wauquiez pour LR, ainsi qu'Édouard Philippe pour Horizons. Dans la matinée, Sébastien Lecornu a également échangé par téléphone avec la secrétaire nationale des Écologistes, Marine Tondelier, et le Premier secrétaire du PS, Olivier Faure, sans qu'un rendez-vous n'ait, pour l'heure, été fixé avec eux à Matignon. Il a par ailleurs affirmé souhaiter s'entretenir rapidement avec les forces syndicales.En tant que Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu a été chargé par Emmanuel Macron de trouver des « accords » avec les forces politiques du pays, avant de « proposer » un gouvernement. Une tâche qui s'annonce complexe pour le nouveau locataire de Matignon, ministre sans interruption depuis juin 2017, tant le contexte est éruptif : sans majorité à l'Assemblée nationale, il prend la suite de deux gouvernements renversés, alors que la France connaît, ce 10 septembre, une journée de manifestations et de blocages avec le mouvement « Bloquons tout ».Sur fond de colère sociale et de sentiment de déni de démocratie, des appels « à tout bloquer » ont été lancés sur les réseaux sociaux au cœur de l'été, à la suite de la présentation par François Bayrou du projet de budget 2026. Soutenu par la suite par les partis de gauche du NFP et les syndicats — dont certains ont appelé à se joindre à la mobilisation — le mouvement connaît une traduction concrète ce mercredi sur le territoire. Et il prend de nombreuses formes : grève de la carte bancaire, distributions de tracts, barrages filtrants, blocages de routes et de lycées, manifestations…Expression d'un ras-le-bol français, ce mouvement est-il inédit ou similaire à celui des Gilets jaunes ? Peut-il durer dans le temps ? La nomination de Sébastien Lecornu à Matignon apaisera-t-elle ou attisera-t-elle la colère sociale ?Le Premier ministre s'est dit convaincu « qu'il n'y a pas de chemin impossible » et a promis des ruptures, sans en dire beaucoup plus sur les chantiers qu'il compte mener. Mais il a donné rendez-vous très bientôt : « J'aurai l'occasion de m'exprimer devant les Français », a-t-il lancé.LES EXPERTS :- Pascal PERRINEAU - Politologue, professeur à Sciences Po Paris, auteur de "Le goût de la politique. Un observateur passionné de la Vème République", publié chez Odile jacob- Nathalie SCHUCK - grand reporter pour le magazine Le Point, autrice d'une biographie de Bruno Retailleau intitulée Le Cardinal chez Robert Laffont- Soazig QUEMENER - Rédactrice en chef à la Tribune Dimanche- Gaël SLIMAN - Président et cofondateur de l'Institut de sondages Odoxa

If you have the means, FIRE is a great place to donate your money to. (Don't let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of the premiere free-speech organization in the world.) David and I talk about his list of The New Yorker's racist staff writers, whether a hunger for ass makes one Black, Raja Jackson, and the curse my children put on me. I'm trying to forget the awful Thalidomide metaphor I made during the episode. It's not working. So here's my definition of Latinx — a word which, according to the center-left think tank Third Way, Democrats should stop using. I'm going to strike Thalidomide from my vocabulary as well.

Why defending expression—even the speech you hate—is essential to democracy in 2025. Episode Summary: It was great to welcome back Greg Lukianoff, President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). Greg is also a New York Times bestselling author and executive producer of the feature-length documentaries Can We Take a Joke? (2015) and the award-winning Mighty Ira: A Civil Liberties Story (2020). In this conversation, we dive deep into the evolving challenges to free speech, the myths that undermine it, and why defending expression—even the speech we disagree with—is essential to democracy. Drawing on personal stories, historical lessons, and his recent book The War on Words: 10 Arguments Against Free Speech and Why They Fail, Greg discusses how free expression protects us from tyranny, the importance of principled advocacy, and how we can better engage across divides.

Today I'm joined by The Radicalist David Josef Volodzko, news editor and senior writer at The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. If you have the means, FIRE is a great place to donate your money to. (Don't let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of the premiere free-speech organization in the world.) David and I talk about his list of The New Yorker's racist staff writers, whether a hunger for ass makes one Black, Raja Jackson, and the curse my children put on me. I'm trying to forget the awful Thalidomide metaphor I made during the episode. It's not working. So here's my definition of Latinx — a word which, according to the center-left think tank Third Way, Democrats should stop using. I'm going to strike Thalidomide from my vocabulary as well.

This week on the show, we've got my girl Chrystee. She teaches yoga and vocal activation teacher, singer-songwriter, a hype coach, a true girl's girl, a space-holder for magical retreats, and a devoted student of Ayurveda. On her Instagram, you'll catch her bridging the worlds of eastern philosophy and western science, singing her big little heart out, and throwing that a$$ back as a reminder that you don't need to edit or hide yourself to feel true acceptance.But Chrystee wasn't always this way. Like many women, she once conditioned herself to fit into a smaller, more traditional role—chasing the career, making the money, and then asking, now what? In this episode, she shares her journey of breaking free, leaving corporate life in the States, and fully stepping into her dharma in Guatemala.- From rock bottom to radiant freedom—her journey of turning being in deep pain and suicidal ideation into art and passion.- How leaving corporate sales unlocked her true dharma and purpose.- Embodied practices—twerking, vocal activation, and body wisdom—as tools for liberation.- Bridging health, spirituality, and indigenous traditions to create heaven on earth.Connect with Chrystee:Instagram : @chrysteeeeeSpotify : ChrysteeYoutube: @chrysteeIf you'd like to connect with Stephanie, you can find her here:Instagram-@schoolofwhispers @__steef___ email-schoolofwhispers@gmail.com If you would like to schedule an acupuncture appointment with Stephanie at her current clinic, Balance Point Acupuncture, you can either visit www.balancepointacu.com or call 561-615-4535 to schedule your appointment todayDISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

In an era of globalized education, where ideals of freedom and inquiry should thrive, an alarming trend has emerged: foreign authoritarian regimes infiltrating American academia. In Authoritarians in the Academy, Sarah McLaughlin exposes how higher education institutions, long considered bastions of free thought, are compromising their values for financial gain and global partnerships. This groundbreaking investigation reveals the subtle yet sweeping influence of authoritarian governments. University leaders are allowing censorship to flourish on campus, putting pressure on faculty, and silencing international student voices, all in the name of appeasing foreign powers. McLaughlin exposes the troubling reality where university leaders prioritize expansion and profit over the principles of free expression. The book describes incidents in classrooms where professors hesitate to discuss controversial topics and in boardrooms where administrators weigh the costs of offending oppressive regimes. McLaughlin offers a sobering look at how the compromises made in American academia reflect broader societal patterns seen in industries like tech, sports, and entertainment. Meticulously researched and unapologetically candid, Authoritarians in the Academy: How the Internationalization of Higher Education and Borderless Censorship Threaten Free Speech (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2025) is an essential read for anyone who believes in the transformative power of education and the necessity of safeguarding it from the creeping tide of authoritarianism.

Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on free speech, censorship, and the dangers of state overreach.Lukianoff warns that Britain is sliding into authoritarianism with the Online Safety Act, the arrest of comedian Graham Linehan for “offensive tweets,” and thousands of citizens detained each year for speech crimes. He explains why Americans should be alarmed—not only because of cultural ties, but because UK and EU laws like the Digital Services Act now risk exporting censorship to the United States.They discuss the chilling effect of “non-crime hate incidents,” the hypocrisy of politicians who ignore Islamist extremism while cracking down on online speech, and why Big Tech is tripping over itself to appease Brussels bureaucrats. Lukianoff contrasts this with the Trump administration's free speech battles on university campuses, where anti-Semitism and harassment rationales are being used to justify speech codes.They also dive into the deeper history—Lenin, Marx, communism, and why the West never reckoned with the crimes of socialism—leaving us vulnerable to a new wave of ideological totalitarianism.All this—Britain's speech crisis, EU overreach, Trump and the universities, and the global struggle to preserve freedom of expression in the 21st century…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 - Introduction & Guest Welcome 02:49 - Graham Linehan's Arrest and Free Speech in the UK 05:08 - Arrests for Offensive Speech in the UK 07:34 - Non-Crime Hate Incidents and Social Attitudes 10:03 - Malcolm Gladwell, Trans Issues, and Chilling Effects 14:03 - The Online Safety Act and Censorship of Americans 17:04 - Why Americans Care About British Free Speech 19:14 - The EU Digital Services Act and Global Censorship 22:20 - Protecting Children Online: Policy and Parental Controls 28:41 - Free Speech in America: Trump, Wokeism, and Ideology 32:31 - Communism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism: Historical Parallels 36:30 - Reckoning with Socialism and Communism 39:30 - Karl Popper, Tolerance, and Hate Speech Laws 42:30 - Trump Administration, Campus Speech Codes, and Harassment 45:32 - Political Correctness and Speech Codes in Higher Ed 51:02 - Harvard, Civil Rights Act, and Federal Oversight 55:56 - The Right Way to Reform University Funding 58:52 - Free Speech for Pro-Palestinian Students and Deportation 1:10:19 - Why Harvard Ranks Lowest for Free Speech 1:13:21 - FIRE's New Books and Campus Free Speech Rankings 1:13:56 - Closing Remarks Hosted on Acast.

Renowned vineyard consultant Marco Simonit, co-founder of Simonit & Sirch, joins the Vint Wine Podcast to share his philosophy of gentle pruning, a vine-training approach that has transformed modern viticulture. His method emphasizes sap flow, small cuts, and preserving living wood, and building an architecture to extend vineyard life, protect against trunk disease, and unlock the purest expression of terroir.This episode traces Marco's path from a childhood on his grandparents' farm to becoming one of the most sought-after vineyard minds in the world. Along the way, he explains why pruning isn't just an agricultural task but a form of artistry—each cut shaping the future health of the vine and the wine in your glass.Marco's roster of collaborators is a “who's who” of wine royalty: Château d'Yquem, Château Latour, Château Angélus, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Louis Roederer, Gaja, Ornellaia, Henschke, Penfolds, Shafer, Spottswoode, and Corison, among others. His insights aren't only for vineyard managers, they reveal to collectors, sommeliers, and everyday enthusiasts how thoughtful farming underpins the wines we admire and enjoy.What You'll LearnWhy gentle pruning matters: sap flow, small wounds, and living woodHow pruning choices affect vine health, longevity, and terroir precisionPractical ways to reduce trunk-disease risk and avoid large desiccation conesThe importance of nursery quality, canopy management, and team trainingHow to build dynamic vine architecture that evolves with a vineyard's ageWhy even casual wine drinkers should care: the link between pruning, better fruit, more expressive wines, and sustainabilityChapters:00:00 Introduction to the Vint Wine Podcast00:35 Guest Introduction: Marco Simonit02:30 Marco's Global Impact and Client List06:19 Early Life and Background11:15 First Discoveries in Vine Anatomy16:19 Early Research and Observations21:57 Building the Method and Recognition29:02 Teaching and Knowledge Transfer33:35 Core Principles of Gentle Pruning40:16 Understanding Desiccation Cones47:11 Trunk Diseases and Terroir Expression51:29 The Role of Education in Viticulture54:22 The Future of Vine Training55:17 Closing RemarksThe Vint Wine Podcast is hosted and produced by Billy Galanko.

Pillars and Practices // Praise, Worship, and Prayer Both Praise and Worship are in Part:Reverence (Awe)Recognition (Awareness)Revelation (Awakening)Response (Action) Hebrew WordsYadahPsalm 44:8 (NIV)“In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise (yâdâh) your name forever.” Towdah Psalm 56:11-12 (NKJV)“In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?...I will render praises (tôwdâh) to you.” Zamar - To make music. To celebrate in song and music. To touch the strings.Psalm 144:9 (NKJV)“I will sing a new song to You, O God; On a harp of ten strings, I will sing praises (zâmar) to You.”Psalm 21:13 (KJV)“Be exalted O Lord, in Thine own strength, so will we sing and praise (zâmar) thy power.” Barak - To kneel. To bow down. To salute. To thank.Psalm 103:1 (NIV)“Praise (bârak) the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being praise his holy name.” Shabach - To address in a loud tone. To shout. To commend, glory, and triumph.Psalm 145:4 (NKJV)“One generation shall praise (shâbach) your works to another.”1 Samuel 4:5 (NLT)“When all the Israelites saw the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord coming into the camp, their shout of joy praise (shâbach) was so loud it made the ground shake! Tehillah - Derived from the word halal and means "the singing of halals, to sing or to laud; perceived to involve music, especially singing; hymns of the Spirit or praise.Psalm 22:3 (NASB)“Yet you are holy, and you are enthroned upon the praises (tehillah) of Israel.”Isaiah 61:3 (NASB)“To grant to those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The garment of praise (tehillah) instead of the spirit of heaviness, So they shall be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” Halal - Means "to be clear, to praise, to shine, to boast, show, to rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish."Psalm 113:1-3 (NKJV)“Praise (hallal) the Lord, praise (hallal) all you servants of the Lord, praise (hallal) the name of the Lord.”Psalm 150:1 (AMP)“Praise (hallal) the Lord! Praise (hallal) God in His sanctuary; Praise (hallal) Him in His mighty heavens.”Psalm 149:3 (NKJV)“Let them praise (hallal) His name in the dance: let them sing praises with the timbrel and harp.” The Hebrew word most often translated as worship is Shachah - to bow down or to be prostrate; it's used over 170 times in the Old Testament.Exodus 34:8 (NIV)“Moses bowed down and worshipped.” The Greek word most often translated as worship is ProskuneoMatthew 28:9 (NKJV)“And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held him by the feet and worshiped him.”John 4:24 (NKJV)“God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”Revelation 5:14 (NKJV)“Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped him who lives forever and ever.” These are Biblical, not just cultural or denominational, and they all have their place and time. As much as a people of Praise and Worship, we need to be a People of Prayer. Prayer as an Expression of Worship:An Expression of WorthOf ReverenceOf GratitudeOf DependenceOf Expectation Lord Teaches Us How to Pray:Our Father in heavenHallowed be thy nameYour kingdom comeYour will be doneOn earth as it is in heavenGive us what we need for today (our daily bread)Forgive us as we also forgive others (submission to God's work in me and through me)Lead us not into temptation/testing (lead us from temptation)But deliver us from the evil oneAdorationConfessionThanksgivingSupplication Types of Prayer:In the moment - Nehemiah 2:4-5Extended - Daniel 10 - 21 daysPrayer with fasting - focus and prioritizingWhat about tongues??

Have you ever succeeded when no one thought you could? That's what it means to do something against all odds. In today's episode, Shana begins with a bear story from her front yard in Asheville (yes, one even climbed into her car!), then moves into a lighthearted pun about “bare feet.” From there, you'll dive deep into the expression against all odds. You'll learn its meaning, history, and how to use it naturally in daily conversation. Shana shares incredible real-life examples: the Donner Party pioneers who survived a brutal winter, Eminem rising to the top of rap, the “Miracle on Ice” U.S. hockey victory, and more inspiring stories including Walt Disney, Elvis Presley, Diana Nyad, and Aron Ralston. By the end, you'll not only understand the phrase against all odds, but you'll also feel motivated by stories of triumph in the face of impossible challenges.

Greg Lukianoff is an attorney, author, and president of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. You may know him from his previous books, The Coddling of the American Mind and The Canceling of the American Mind. His latest book, which was published earlier this summer, is The War on Words, Ten Arguments Against Free Speech—and Why They Fail. In this episode, we get into why Lukianoff is nota free speech absolutist, how October 7 shifted the campus speech debate, and where protest crosses the line into illegality. We also touch on the rights of visa and green card holders, President Donald Trump's intimidation tactics, and the troubling free speech climate in the UK. ----- Buy tickets for The Free Press Pittsburgh Debate on September 10th here:https://www.trustarts.org/production/103133 Buy tickets for The Free Press Live at The Comedy Cellar on September 14th here.
