Mike and Kenny review and spot faith presented in the Academy Award nominated and latest film by director Yorgos Lanthimos. Bugonia marks another colaboration between Lanthimos and two time Best Actress winner Emma Stone, whose second Oscar was for Lanthimos's film Poor Things. Stone stars as Michelle Fuller, a powerful CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Jesse Plemons, a 2021 Best Supporting Actor nominee co-stars as conspiracy theory obsessed beekeeper Teddy Gatz. Aiden Delbis also co-stars as Teddy's autistic cousin Don.  Likening her actions to Cology Collapse Disorder where healthy beehives suddenly collapse, Teddy believes Fuller is an Andromedan alien who is intent to destroy or force humanity into subserivence. Teddy convinces Don to assist him in kidnapping and holding Fuller hostage in an effort to be transported to the Andromedan spaceship.  Faith Spotted: As with bee hives, communities, whether faith or societal, can function, grow and live for an extended period and then quickly become dysfuntional collapse and die. Typically growth happens when the wellbeing of the collective is prioritized over the needs, fears, or desires of the individual. Fracturing happens when in response to the community facing challenge or change, and individuals or portions of the community begin to act in ways that offer them comfort and assurance based on memories of past glory and success.  Teddy resembles in the description of John the Baptist who comes in from the wilderness with a new message.  While John was preparing the way for the new message that was the Gospel of Christ, not every outsider with a new message is to be followed.  The patience of God not to do away with creation or humanity even though it is likely what is derserved. Although there is the flood account in Scripture, there have been other times when God has been tempted to do away with nations or communities, yet resisted the temptation. The continued rejection by humanity of God's grace, love and righteousness (desire) is a source of unimaginable pain to God. Because God's love is complete and perfect, the loss and pain God feels when we reject and retaliate are immeasureable. Yet God continues to love.  Dysfunctional communities such as cults etc. are based on and grow out of fear of real or perceived threats and challenges facing members. Such fear leads to a desire and need to seek to control or to follow those indviduals and groups who promise stability and control over that which is unknown or unstable, regardless of the cost. The promise of the Gospel is that life does not end in death, collapse and a tomb, but rather continues through the hope and assurance of ressurection to new life.

Send us a textOn this week's Two Kens Podcast, Ken Fong and I dive headfirst into what can only be described as a political and cultural whirlwind. Turning Point USA is in open conflict — MAGA vs. MAGA — with Candace Owens and Erica Kirk trading fire. The Hollywood Reporter is calling it a civil war on the Right. What does that fracture mean for the movement… and for the country?We'll unpack the renewed buzz around the Epstein files — from Julie Roys' reporting on surprising names to the resurfacing of James Dobson and Kenneth Starr — and ask why these stories keep circling back. We also talk about Melania's documentary, Amazon's $40 million licensing deal, and what it signals about media, money, and influence in 2026 America.From Dinesh D'Souza's controversial films to Trump's rhetoric at the National Prayer Breakfast… from ICE shake-ups to claims about “stolen elections”… to headlines declaring America in peril — we sort through the noise.Ken and I bring our differing perspectives to the conversation. That's the point. We talk it out — candidly, thoughtfully, sometimes passionately — but always as friends.If you're feeling the tension in the air and wondering what it all means, tune in. Let's think this through together.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show. Thank you!

Laurent Lequeu explores a global economy increasingly defined by geopolitical chaos and a transition toward stagflation. He argues that the primary threat to the American empire originates from internal political division rather than external adversaries. To hedge against the reckless behavior of authoritarian governments and the inevitable decline of fiat currencies, Lequeu advocates for the ownership of physical precious metals, which lack counterparty risk. The discussion also highlights a significant global shift as China and Russia consolidate their resource and manufacturing alliance, potentially moving the world’s financial epicenter from New York to Hong Kong by 2032. Investors should seek geographical diversification and tangible assets in anticipation of a fracturing Western order.

'Power, violence and legitimacy are fragmenting, and modern conflict is starting to behave accordingly'1 Introduction It's hard to shake the feeling that conflict no longer behaves the way we expect it to. Wars don't end cleanly, responsibility is always blurred, and decisions with real consequences seem to be made everywhere and nowhere at once. We sense that something has changed, but rarely have the space to stop and ask why. This isn't an attempt to predict the next war or sound the alarm. It's an effort to make sense of why power, violence and accountability no longer behave the way we assume they do, and what that could mean for states and societies that still expect to manage them. Modern conflict is no longer defined by the Western conception of war as a discrete event led by states, fought by armies, and concluded by treaties. It has become a fluid spectrum shaped by states, private actors, technologies, algorithms, and societies that no longer share a common centre of gravity. The result is a geopolitical environment where the means of violence are distributed, authority is conditional, and conflict increasingly persists rather than resolves. That shift is hard to miss for anyone paying even casual attention to current events. Conflict Without Resolution In Ukraine, the fallout from Andriy Yermak's resignation in November 2025 was not just another political headline. It exposed a quieter competition over who shapes the end of the war, who decides the terms of security, and which interests gain access and influence when the war eventually winds down. It is a reminder that power has never been centralised in one place, and that competing interests are now shaping outcomes more openly than before. States still matter, but they no longer control the direction of conflict or the timing of peace alone. It shows how even in a major interstate war, control over outcomes is dispersed across political factions, private funders, foreign backers and societal forces. Power Beyond the State In Venezuela, tensions following the American strike has little to do with drugs, rhetoric or posturing alone. Politics matters, but so do the stakes beneath it: the largest proven oil reserves on earth, critical minerals and control of commercial advantage in a region where global competitors are increasingly active. This is the type of dispute where state power, private interests and informal networks blend into one another, and where none of these actors operate in isolation or according to national logic. It is a textbook case of a conflict shaped more by markets, resources and informal networks than by state intention. In the Middle East, Israel's simultaneous operations across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank show how modern warfare behaves when too many actors hold the capacity to escalate. Fronts no longer open and close; they bleed into one another, influenced not only by governments but by proxies, foreign backers and interests that do not wear national uniforms. The result is not confusion, it is complexity. Together, these overlapping fronts reinforce a world in which the power to escalate is no longer held by states alone. The Fracturing of Monopoly, Not the State These conflicts should not be lumped together, but they reveal a structural reality that they now share: the state is still powerful, but it is no longer the only force that matters. Too many actors now possess the means to shape violence, stall peace or influence outcomes from outside the traditional architecture of a government. The modern battlefield has matured into something closer to a marketplace of capabilities, incentives and interests than a domain controlled solely by states. Western strategic thinking has long struggled with this shift because its definitions of war remain narrow. Other traditions have always recognised a wider spectrum: the Russian military and strategic literature use the words borba ('struggle') to capture political, informational ...

Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses President James Buchanan's January 4, 1861, national fast day, intended to unite a fracturing nation through prayer and repentance. While old-school Presbyterians like Charles Hodge supported this call for divine intervention, the effort largely failed to forestall war. The event highlighted three distinct groups of religious nationalists: conservative Unionists, anti-slavery Republicans viewing slavery as a national sin, and pro-slavery theologians defending the institution on scriptural grounds.1855-65 HENRY WARD BEECHER

SHOW SCHEDULE1-19-20261914 FLAG DAY WITH WILSON, BRYAN, ROOSEVELT Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses President James Buchanan's January 4, 1861, national fast day, intended to unite a fracturing nation through prayer and repentance. While old-school Presbyterians like Charles Hodge supported this call for divine intervention, the effort largely failed to forestall war. The event highlighted three distinct groups of religious nationalists: conservative Unionists, anti-slavery Republicans viewing slavery as a national sin, and pro-slavery theologians defending the institution on scriptural grounds. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine explains that President-elect Lincoln did not view Republicans as overly aggressive, positioning himself as a constitution-respecting centrist rather than a radical. Lincoln opposed slavery's expansion but acknowledged its constitutional protection where it already existed, believing the South was misled by elites and would eventually return to the Union. Ironically, Lincoln and Buchanan, though political opposites, worshiped at the same Washington church, sharing an old-school Presbyterian background. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. In September 1861, Lincoln proclaimed a fast day, carefully avoiding specific references to slavery to maintain political unity. Carwardine details the conflict surrounding General Frémont's unauthorized emancipation order, which Lincoln revoked to prevent losing loyal border states like Kentucky. Consequently, anti-slavery nationalists used the pulpits to criticize Lincoln's caution, demanding the war become an explicit crusade against the "gigantic crime" of slavery rather than just a restoration of the Union. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens' "Cornerstone Speech," which explicitly defined racial inequality as the Confederacy's foundation, a stance widely condemned in the North. Carwardine notes that despite earlier tensions, Lincoln viewed his fast days as successful, utilizing them and meetings with religious delegations to gauge public sentiment and prepare the ground for eventual emancipation. Lincoln valued these interactions to influence and learn from denominational leaders. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine details the intense political opposition Lincoln faced in 1863 following the Emancipation Proclamation. He highlights Clement Vallandigham, a "Peace Democrat" leader who viewed the war as unwinnable and Lincoln as a "Puritan despot." Carwardine explains that the Democraticcoalition was fractured by religion, specifically between Catholics and Protestants, yet united in opposing the administration. Lincoln ultimately banished Vallandigham to the Confederacy to neutralize his influence. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine discusses James McMaster, the Catholic editor of the Freeman's Journal, characterizing him as an extraordinary polemicist who was imprisoned for his "vituperations" against the war. McMaster argued the war denied the rights of free men and refused to retract his views upon release. The segment also features Samuel "Sunset" Cox, a Democrat who famously attacked New England Puritanism as the source of the nation's meddling and moral extremity. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to the Union's "low point" in August 1864, where Lincoln expected to lose the election to Democrat George McClellan. Carwardine describes the Democraticcampaign as "brokenbacked" for pairing a general with a peace platform. However, the fall of Atlanta revived Union hopes. Carwardine emphasizes how pastors articulated a "higher cause"—the preservation of a unique republican government—to justify the war's terrible "bloodletting" and sacrifice. Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine analyzes the war's conclusion and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, which framed the conflict as divine judgment for the shared offense of slavery. He notes that Lincoln intended a Reconstruction based on charity and "absence of malice," rather than punishment. By 1865, Lincoln's views had evolved to support citizenship for African American veterans, though his assassination left the specific blueprint for the nation's reintegration unfinished and uncertain. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. In 1925, the Tennessee legislature passed the Butler Act, banning the teaching of evolution in public schools. At Robinson's drugstore in Dayton, local booster George Rapier and others recruited 24-year-old science teacher John Scopes to violate the law as a test case to generate publicity for the town. Although Scopes was knowingly guilty, the ACLU backed the defense to challenge the law's constitutionality regarding the separation of church and state. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The ACLU, seeking to defend religious liberty and raise its profile, seized upon the Scopes case. While the board considered prestigious constitutional lawyers, the notorious Clarence Darrowvolunteered his services pro bono because he viewed the Butler Act as bigoted. Despite the ACLU's hesitation regarding Darrow's controversial reputation from the Leopold and Loeb trial, Scopes insisted on having the "street fighter" Darrow defend him against William Jennings Bryan. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Clarence Darrow was a celebrated attorney known for his "downhome" jury appeals and defense of the marginalized. Mentored by progressive John Altgeld, Darrow built a reputation defending labor unions, socialists like Eugene Debs, and the poor against powerful corporations. However, his career suffered a "bad patch" following the McNamara brothers' bombing case in Los Angeles, where Darrow himself faced trials for allegedly bribing a juror, leaving him with a checkered reputation. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan joined the prosecution to revive his political career and defend fundamentalism. Famous for his populist "Cross of Gold" speech, Bryan had become rigid in his views, advocating for prohibition and a literal reading of the Bible. He viewed the trial as a platform to combat the theory of evolution, which he believed deprived children of a moral center and denied the miracles of creation. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Fundamentalist Judge John T. Raulston presided over the trial, enjoying the publicity brought by loudspeakers and radio coverage. The defense included civil liberties lawyer Arthur Garfield Hayes, a secular Jew, serving as a constitutional anchor. Meanwhile, William Jennings Bryan arrived as a celebrity in a pith helmet, though Scopes noted Bryan ignored his own diabetes by overeating at dinner, revealing a disconnect between his fundamentalist beliefs and medical science. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's "fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. During a stifling heatwave, the trial moved outdoors where Darrow executed a shocking maneuver by calling prosecutor William Jennings Bryan to the witness stand. Darrow interrogated Bryan on his literal interpretation of the Bible, questioning stories like Jonah and the whale. Bryan faltered, admitting creation "days" might be metaphorical periods, which undermined his fundamentalist position and allowed Darrow to humiliate him regarding his knowledge of history, geology, and world religions. Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The trial ended abruptly with a guilty verdict, denying Bryan his closing speech; he died days later, likely due to heat, stress, and diabetes. John Scopes eventually became a geologist and lived a reclusive life, refusing to exploit his fame. Darrow's later career fluctuated, including a controversial defense in the racially charged Massie trial in Hawaii, before his death in 1938, leaving behind a complex legacy beyond the "Inherit the Wind" narrative.

The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockean principles in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters.1929 HOOVER INAURUAL

If Israel and the United Arab Emirates have their way, 2026 promises to be a year of further fracturing of the Greater Middle East. Israel's strategy is to balkanise, if not break up states, while the UAE's approach is to capitalise on opportunities failed states offer, much as Iran did with its support for militant non-state actors in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and the toppled regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

A sweeping conversation on immigration, women's bravery, Nigeria bombings, Israel's intransigence, MAGA extremism, and a journalist's surrender—mapping the GOP strategy and how democracy must respond.

Barry Markson and Matt Salmon discuss the current state of the Republican Party and the potential cracks that seem to have appeared over the past five years.

In this episode, Ghost breaks down the escalating ideological fracture on the American right, sparked by the Turning Point USA conference and the public clash between Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. Using Charlie Kirk's death as a backdrop, Ghost examines the growing tension around censorship, deplatforming, and who controls the boundaries of “acceptable” discourse within conservatism. The conversation expands into America's relationship with Israel, questioning foreign influence, moral authority, and the manipulation of antisemitism narratives to suppress dissent. Ghost analyzes Trump's posture toward Netanyahu, the Gaza ceasefire aftermath, and emerging power shifts as U.S. and Russian interests increasingly align against European escalation. The episode also covers Putin's end-of-year address, Ukraine peace negotiations, Venezuela's oil blockade, Julian Assange's legal action against the Nobel Foundation, and the broader implications of economic warfare and regime change operations. Throughout, Ghost emphasizes first principles, free debate, and the dangers of coordinated narrative control shaping both domestic and global politics.

Today's episode breaks down one of the most contentious FOMC meetings in nearly a decade. A deeply divided Fed delivered a rate cut that may also mark the end of the cutting cycle, with multiple dissents on both the dovish and hawkish sides and an unusually fractured dot plot. The conversation explores what the dissents reveal about competing inflation and labor-market risks, why Powell says the Fed is effectively flying blind without fresh BLS data, and how alternative data is shaping the debate. It also examines the quiet but significant shift in balance-sheet policy, as the Fed ends QT and begins reserve management purchases that many see as “QE that isn't QE,” and what this hawkish cut, baby QE, and a broken consensus mean for markets heading into an increasingly uncertain 2026 outlook.

How did the US Dollar become the dominant currency internationally? What keeps other currencies, fiat or crypto, from displacing the dollar's role? Does the aggressive use of sanctions by the US Government put the dollar's role at risk?Paul Blustein is with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, as well as an author and journalist. He has written several books including his latest work King Dollar: The Past and Future of the World's Dominant Currency and previous works, Off Balance: The Travails of Institutions That Govern the Global Financial System, And the Money Kept Rolling In (and Out) Wall Street, the IMF, and the Bankrupting of Argentina, and Laid Low: Inside the Crisis That Overwhelmed Europe and the IMF.Greg and Paul discuss the reasons behind the US dollar's dominance in global finance, its historical roots stemming from the Bretton Woods Agreement, and the challenges posed by international crises and economic policies. Paul also discusses the role and limitations of the IMF, the geopolitical implications of using the dollar as a financial weapon, and the potential impact of emerging currencies and digital threats. The episode concludes with insights into the phenomena of dollarization and how various economic strategies, including those of China and Russia, intersect with the enduring power of the US dollar.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How the U.S. discovered the power of financial sanctions21:00: No longer was it just going to be the drug lords and, you know, in Colombia and places like that, it was now the government was gonna crack down on terrorists. And so the Treasury, OFAC, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, began doing some of that. And they realized that by cutting off banks abroad from access to the dollar system, that correspondent banking system we were just talking about, that, you know, things could really go boom. They could pose a death sentence on banks. And as they began to realize the power of that, they then applied it in the case of North Korea in 2005. And they were absolutely astonished to discover that this really worked. You could really have a big effect on North Korea's financial system by cutting off banks. It was—they went after a bank in Macau that had been—and then they were off to the races. They could use this similar kind of weaponry on Iran and other adversariesResponsible vs irresponsible use of dollar power25:29: You have this power with a dollar; if we use it responsibly, it can be a very good power. And if we use it irresponsibly, it's a bad power. And that's the way I like to look at it.How U.S.–China sanction scenarios are actually gamed out51:59: Some of the hawks in, you know, you don't hear so much from these guys anymore, but the hawks in Congress have tried to game some of these out. You know, I go into this in one of the chapters of the book about how they, you know, they had a red team and a blue team, and they thought, well, we can, you know, we just have done this—imposed drastic sanctions on Russia. So if there's an invasion of Taiwan, here's what we do.

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Nate Cain – Nate Cain breaks down the real origin of the feud: MTG's fury over President Trump's timeline on releasing the Epstein client list, her sudden opposition to ending Obamacare subsidies, her criticism of U.S. aid to Israel, and her outrage over Trump hosting Syria's new president at the White House. We'll talk straight – Republicans can...

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with journalist Emily Schrader to unpack the growing ideological fracture inside the American right over Israel, Gaza, and US foreign aid.Schrader explains how debates over Israel have become the new battleground from Megyn Kelly to JD Vance, Dave Smith, and the rising “groyper” movement. She explores how online algorithms, anti-establishment anger, and a resurgence of antisemitic tropes are reshaping right-wing politics in ways no one seems able to control.We examine the clash between “America First” isolationists and traditional pro-Israel conservatives, the spread of dual loyalty rhetoric and AIPAC narratives, and why younger conservatives are being pulled toward extremist figures like Nick Fuentes. Schrader also sets out why Israel's struggle with Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah matters directly to American security, and how states like Qatar and Iran stand to benefit when the American right turns against Israel.This episode looks at the new conservative realignment, the rise of groyper ideology, the political implications for JD Vance, and what this shift means for the future direction of the American right.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:10 Israel as a Dividing Line on the American Right 29:59 Criticism of American Right's Stance on Israel 36:50 The Role of Trump and the American Right43:38 The International Plan for Gaza53:31 The Role of the UN and British Foreign Policy 56:42 The Epstein Files 1:05:28 Suppression of Protests in Iran1:15:17 Economic and Leadership Challenges in Iran1:18:04 Closing Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Ten months into Trump's second term, the unthinkable is happening—MAGA is showing cracks. Dave, Ashley, and Kurt dive into whether Trump has become a lame duck faster than any president in modern history. From the Epstein files vote defying his wishes to his approval ratings hitting January 6th lows, the hosts debate if the Republican coalition is finally splintering. They also dissect who really won the shutdown showdown (spoiler: it's complicated), wrestle with whether "America First" has become "Saudi Arabia Second," and break down the leaked framework for ending the Ukraine war. Plus: Kurt calls out the hypocrisy, Ashley defends the security hawk position, and Dave asks the questions nobody wants to answer. This is political analysis without the partisan blinders.Follow Practically Political on YouTube and Twitter.Follow Ashley DavisFollow Kurt Bardella

We need a perfect king to have a peaceful kingdom.

My guest today is Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist, military historian, and senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution. Victor is one of the most articulate defenders of Donald Trump, and one of the few people willing to explain why millions of Americans still see him as a necessary corrective rather than a danger. We talk about how his years farming in California shaped his politics, how “lawfare” now cuts both ways, and why so many conservatives feel the system has turned against them. We also dive into the strange new revisionism spreading on the American right—from the claim that Churchill “started” World War II, to the idea that the Nazis killed millions by accident—and why Tucker Carlson has begun platforming the people pushing those ideas.

In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, host Kyle King takes a hard look at the internal fractures forming within the emergency management community. Kyle reflects on how recent disasters and public criticism have brought long-standing issues to the surface. This episode challenges the profession to face uncomfortable truths about authority, messaging, and its evolving role in the face of growing demands. With examples drawn from major events like Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and reactions from both public officials and emergency professionals, Kyle unpacks how misinformation, internal conflict, and a crisis of credibility are reshaping what it means to serve communities during emergencies. He explores how the field's reliance on heroic language has masked a quiet shift toward managing scarcity rather than delivering aid and why the time for honest self-examination is now. Tune in to hear why emergency management stands at a crossroads and what it must do to rebuild public trust and professional unity in an age of constant crisis.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Brandon Tatum about his reaction to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk; his frustration with conspiracy theories targeting Charlie's family, Erica, and Turning Point USA; his emotional struggle to honor Charlie's legacy while resisting calls for revenge; the backlash he faces from both the left and some on the right; his passionate defense of Israel during his viral debate with Dave Smith on Piers Morgan Uncensored, his concerns about deep divisions within the MAGA movement and the right as conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and infighting escalate after Charlie Kirk's death; the collapse of policing in blue cities like Chicago, Portland, and San Francisco and how failed sanctuary city and soft-on-crime policies devastate communities; the majority of black Americans actually wanting more police and safer neighborhoods despite politicians weaponizing race and white guilt; the quiet shift of black voters realizing their conservative values and becoming “activated” to vote Republican and support leaders like Donald Trump; and much more.

https://globalsumudflotilla.org/Colonialoutcasts.comFormer Turning Points media team staff member, Carolinehttps://linktr.ee/babybluetxdiscusses the evolution of Charlie Kirk's Turning Points USA when she first started as a young staff member during its genesis and how it transformed into the corporate elite's tool to radicalize right wing youth into a far-right MAGA cultural incubator. But with the desperation of the elite class to frame Charlie Kirk's assassination as a “martyrdom” at the hands of the “violent left”, fragmentation within the far right is complicating things and preventing a blind fervor and galvanization for civil war sentiments. This is especially given the rapid spread of suspicions of an Israeli conspiracy among right-wing conservatives who are now flocking to Candace Owens and away from Turning Points new czar, Ben Shapiro.Caroline is a lawyer, progressive political activist, and former conservative who has seen the inside of the movement and chosen a different path. She spent years in right-wing spaces before realizing how deeply misinformation, exclusion, and fear were shaping the narrative. Today, she uses her legal training and personal experience to unpack propaganda and help others navigate their own political shifts. Her mission is to ensure people feel informed, empowered, and unafraid to question what they've been told.#charliekirk #turningpoints #civilwar #conservatives #politicalviolence #benshapiro #candaceowens #israel

In this episode of Ami's House, we sit down with journalist Karys Rhea to ask a hard question: Are we alienating the last allies Israel has left on the American Right? From the rise of “woke right” factions, to the fallout of October 7, to the mainstreaming of antisemitism in conservative spaces — we explore how the pro-Israel camp risks losing support from its own friends. We get into Tucker, Candace, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, and the usefulness of the term "antisemitic."This is not just about politics — it's about whether Israel's defenders can hold their coalition together without pushing people away.Find Kara on X: https://x.com/rheakarys

On this episode of Heard Tell, we're back "across the pond" to check in on our United Kingdom friends with Oliver Dean joining us from the UK. What's going on in UK politics with a two-party system that for the first time in hundreds of years faces a real third threat in Reform, the flailing Labour government under PM Keir Starmer, and how there is a real pessimism that has lingered after that last election that has kept Labour from finding its footing, the Tories from finding a unified message, and finds Reform on the rise. Plus, we talk about the policy and backlash about online content censoring and online ID laws, immigration crisis, housing, and the systemic issues inside the UK that won't be solved in just one or two election cycles, and how the once vaunted UK university system is starting to show some real decline. All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxhttps://heardtell.substack.com/Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

In this unscripted, honest download, I wrestle with the disturbing ways companies are approaching reorgs—moving humans like chess pieces in the name of efficiency while ignoring the core operating system of what it means to be human. I explore the emotional aftermath of layoffs, the ripple effects on trust and productivity, and why doing it “by the book” isn't enough anymore. This one's for the people still standing after the org chart gets gutted—and for the leaders who need to be reminded that culture isn't built in a spreadsheet. It's built in how you treat people when it's hard.Welcome to a conversation about reorgs that dares to be real.

Jake Tapper returns to dissect his book Original Sin and the failures of mainstream media to report on Joe Biden's decline.  He traces how social pressures, cultural taboos, and partisan incentive structures are ongoing threats to the type of journalism he practices and associates with the best forms of truth-telling. Tapper says CNN still strives to flesh out the full story, but acknowledges the shrinking market for non-ideological reporting. Plus, a glimpse into the spectacle of immigration enforcement, where shocking imagery is a Presidential tactic and a public turnoff.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this powerful and urgent episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim challenges listeners to confront a critical question: Which part of humanity will you fracture into? As the world undergoes rapid change and spiritual divergence, Jim explores the growing split between those who are awakening into higher consciousness and those entrenched in fear, ego, and distraction. Drawing on wisdom from Don Xavier, Nostradamus, and spiritual science, Jim helps frame today's chaos as not merely political or economic—but vibrational and evolutionary.  Jim discusses how humanity is fracturing into two paths: one aligned with love, light, and soul awareness, and another trapped in fear, density, and the illusions of the 3D world. He speaks directly to the lightworkers, healers, and seekers who sense that something deeper is happening beneath the surface of global events. With clarity and compassion, he reminds us that the path to immunity from chaos begins by raising our frequency—starting from within.  This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels out of place in today's noisy world. If you've ever felt that you were born for more, that your role is to bring light, or that the world doesn't quite feel like home—this episode will help you see why.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Humanity is Fracturing into Two Paths (02:15) Jim outlines how society is splitting into two distinct energetic realities: one of love and evolution, the other of fear and ego.  Why “Raising Your Frequency” Is the Ultimate Solution (07:35) Learn how raising your inner frequency can protect you from the chaos and lower energies dominating today's world.  The Role of Sentinels and Sleepwalkers in Human Evolution (13:05) Jim introduces the concepts of sentinels (the awakened) and sleepwalkers (the lost), and invites listeners to identify their path.  What Nostradamus Got Right About Our Current World (22:40) Explore prophetic insights from Nostradamus, including the “inversion ritual” and the rise of metal tongues—an eerie foreshadowing of modern digital life.  How to Raise Your Frequency Through Thought and Emotion (31:20) Jim breaks down the path from thought to feeling to frequency and why managing emotions is essential to spiritual growth.  The Children of the Divide and the Second Dawn (41:00)  Discover how younger generations—Indigo and crystalline children—are ushering in the next era of higher consciousness and soulful living.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  We are not waiting for the shift—it's already happening. Humanity is evolving, and with it, the vibrational split between fear and love is widening. You are here for a reason. You are not lost, and you are not alone. You are a sentinel, a light bearer, a guardian of higher truth. Your path is not to fight the darkness, but to stand so fully in your light that darkness cannot persist. Remember: the greatest rebellion is joy. The strongest shield is peace. And the most radical act is to raise your frequency and lead with love.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
