Chris and Sean are back in the Cave with five weeks to go before the Arizona election. They start with the governor's race and the arguments surrounding Katie Hobbs and Andy Biggs on taxes, vetoes, affordability, and the direction of the state. Then the conversation jumps ahead to 2028. J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, control of Congress, polling problems, and what Republicans should do if border enforcement finally opens the door to a serious immigration reform debate. They also play Marco Rubio's response to Iran at the United Nations before closing on a completely different note: U2 returning to Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin exactly 50 years after the band first came together. Chris and Sean talk about the surprise performance, U2's new music, and Dolly Parton's final recording. #KatieHobbs #AndyBiggs #MarcoRubio #U2 #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Todd examines a Gallup survey showing growing support for socialism, especially among Democrats, and contrasts government-promised entitlements with free enterprise, individual liberty, and constitutional rights. He uses a former leftist's account of college indoctrination, feminism, victimhood, entertainment, and anger to explain how education and culture can shape a woke worldview. Todd then argues that rebuilding strong families, personal responsibility, biblical faith, and confident conservative communication is essential to resisting those pressures.

What will it take to improve education in Arizona?In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with David Scott, an independent candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives in Legislative District 10, to discuss his campaign and why education has become one of his top priorities.The conversation covers some of the biggest challenges facing Arizona schools, including reading and math proficiency, teacher burnout, classroom discipline, early childhood education, and whether students are being adequately prepared for college, the trades, military service, entrepreneurship, and the modern workforce.Scott and Johnson also tackle one of Arizona's most contentious education debates: Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESAs). Rather than treating school choice as a simple yes or no issue, Scott discusses whether Arizona can reform the program, improve accountability and control costs while still protecting families whose children benefit from alternative education options.Beyond education, Scott discusses his background, faith, community service, and what led him to enter politics for the first time. He also explains why he believes effective leadership is less about having every answer and more about listening to different perspectives and bringing people together.Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction01:21 - Why David Scott Got Into Politics04:59 - Who Is David Scott?08:19 - How Faith Shaped David Scott12:15 - The State of Education in Arizona17:13 - College Isn't the Only Path to Success20:18 - Should Schools Teach Civics & Free Enterprise?23:18 - Investing in Early Childhood Education28:21 - Fixing Arizona's Reading & Math Problem30:50 - Arizona's ESA & School Choice Debate35:57 - What's Driving Teacher Burnout?39:22 - What Makes Someone Qualified to Lead?41:28 - Final Remarks and Conclusion

Amanda Johnson's son was nineteen when he told her they should build their own publishing experience. She had spent years helping other people navigate hybrid publishers — watching their content get stolen, their books get covers that illustrated the subtitle rather than the story, their life's work get treated as a transaction by people who hadn't read a word of it. She had walked out of her office and screamed in the kitchen. She had saved enough projects to know what the process should feel like and had watched too many clients come out of it feeling worse about their manuscript than when they started. So when her son said they should just create something better, she agreed. That's how Saved By Story was born — and that's the shape of the business it became: a writing coaching and hybrid publishing practice built on a conviction Amanda has held since she discovered it watching her first clients write their way back to health. The writing is not the product. The writing is the healing.Chapters:0:24 Intro to Amanda & Saved by Story1:52 From Writing to Calling7:32 Amanda's Career Journey13:23 Messaging Shapes Identity17:12 The Retreat Breakthrough20:08 Starting Saved by Story21:58 Faith and Story Intertwined33:44 Word Made Flesh39:03 Books That Transform42:34 Find Her OnlineThe Faith Ventures Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

Then Sean and John go down memory lane to Tom Coburn's first Senate race. They share what they learned about choosing the right candidate, doing the blocking and tackling that wins campaigns. John closes with his work on AI and transparency: how new tools could help citizens see, understand, and hold government accountable for its actions. #U2 #U250 #JohnHart #TomCoburn #GovernmentTransparency #ArtificialIntelligence #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Cody Ritchie of Crest Insurance joins Chris in the guest-host chair for a wide-ranging conversation on Arizona, Tucson, politics, business, and the state of leadership in the Old Pueblo. Crest Insurance is a multi-state insurance agency and a longtime supporter of Light Beer | Dark Money, and Cody brings both a business leader's perspective and deep Arizona roots to the conversation. Chris and Cody dig into the familiar challenges facing Tucson—from economic development and political leadership to the broader question of whether the city is creating the conditions necessary for businesses, families, and entrepreneurs to thrive. They also widen the lens to Arizona as a whole, talking about where the state's electorate finds itself, how the political landscape continues to shift, and the competing forces shaping Arizona's future. But the episode begins on a much more personal note. Chris and Cody remember their friend and mentor, former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl, reflecting on the character, intelligence, preparation, humility, and commitment to public service that defined his career. More than a political figure, Kyl was someone who invested in people, mentored the next generation, and left a lasting mark on Arizona and on those fortunate enough to know and work with him. It's part remembrance, part Arizona political conversation, and part classic Light Beer | Dark Money banter and rant. #LightBeerDarkMoney #Arizona #Tucson #JonKyl #CrestInsurance #Politics #Leadership #FreeEnterprise #Faith #Freedom #FreeEnterprise #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Todd responds to Hasan Piker's comments about hating America and distinguishes the right to express an opinion from the responsibility to use liberty wisely. He discusses patriotism, socialism, the cost of college, student debt, and alternatives such as trade schools and apprenticeships. Drawing on C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, Todd explores moral law, conscience, and the excuses people offer when they violate shared standards. He also reflects on gratitude, free enterprise, and the difference between criticizing speech and suppressing it.

Longtime guest and great friend of the show John Desser joins Chris from the Beltway to remember their mutual friend and mentor, former Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, who passed away today at the age of 84. Kyl represented Arizona in Congress for nearly three decades and was widely known for his work ethic, command of policy, and commitment to the state. John reflects on his years working for both Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl and remembers Kyl as the consummate workhorse — a senator determined to know what was happening throughout his office, from major policy debates to the constituent services affecting individual Arizonans. John and Chris also look back on their work with Senator Kyl and his staff during the long campaign to reform and nearly repeal the federal estate tax — the “Death Tax.” They remember meeting after meeting with Kyl and his team, strategizing about how to move the issue through Congress and, particularly, through a reluctant United States Senate. Beyond the policy and politics, they remember the man: a devoted family man, a tireless advocate for Arizona, a serious legislator respected across the aisle, and a mentor deeply loved by many of the people who worked for and alongside him. For Chris, that relationship was especially personal. Long before the titles and the career, he was a young man fresh out of college trying to find his way in Washington. Jon Kyl took the time to offer guidance, open doors, and provide the kind of mentorship that can shape a life. Today, Chris and John remember Senator Jon Kyl — his service, his example, and the extraordinary legacy he leaves behind.

Text the show! Americans still overwhelmingly like free enterprise. So why are they rapidly souring on capitalism?Chad argues that the anger behind America's “cost of life” crisis is real — but we're giving it the wrong name.Housing, healthcare, insurance, prescriptions and utilities consume enormous portions of American household budgets, yet many of these markets fail a basic test of competition: Can you walk away? Can you switch? Can a new competitor enter? And does losing your business actually cost the incumbent anything?In this Monologue Monday, Chad examines why young Americans are increasingly receptive to socialism, how regulation and consolidation can turn consumers into price takers, why elective medicine behaves differently from much of American healthcare, how housing regulation adds to the price of a home, and what happens when government responds with public ownership, subsidies and price controls.The answer isn't defending the status quo — and it isn't another revolution.It's a remodel: open the door, post the price, subsidize the customer instead of the seller, and make someone responsible for eliminating regulations that no longer work.You don't hate capitalism. You hate that nobody is competing for you anymore.Text Chad: 252-CHAD-LAWEverything Chad — The GAILY NEWS, the books, the Common Sense Conservative Manifesto, and more — at chadparkerlaw.com.Chapters 00:00 You Don't Hate Capitalism03:24 America's Cost of Life Crisis05:28 Why Young Americans Are Turning on Capitalism08:04 We're Diagnosing the Wrong Problem13:22 Monopoly, Collusion & Price Gouging16:51 The Four-Question Competition Test17:46 Why Healthcare Costs So Much23:08 How Government Keeps Competitors Out25:01 The $131,000 Housing Problem28:19 What Democratic Socialists Want to Do30:14 The Problem With the Utility Model32:55 When Government Picks the Winner35:03 America's Price-Control Experiment38:24 Where Is the Free-Market Countermovement?40:58 Four Ways to Open the Market Again

Michael talks with University of Chicago economist Eric Zwick, co-author of "The Everywhere Millionaire: Who Is Really Rich in America and How They Got There", about the surprising people who hold much of America's wealth. Zwick explains how Main Street entrepreneurs—from car dealers and contractors to restaurant and franchise owners—are quietly building fortunes across the country, and what their success reveals about entrepreneurship, economic mobility, and the enduring American Dream.

Jenna Bentley of the Goldwater Institute is back with Chris Clements and Sean Noble — and there is plenty to rant about. The Republican Party is holding its first-ever midterm convention, and we have a pretty basic question: Why? With control of Congress on the line, we debate whether that money, time and political energy would be better spent in competitive races across the country. Then there's President Trump's inexplicable surprise promise of a $5,000 “Trump Dividend.” We have some questions about that, too. And, naturally, we talk sports. Baseball is heading toward October, football is back, and the rivalry at the table is unavoidable: Jenna is a devoted Red Sox fan sitting across from two lifelong Dodgers fans. Chris and Sean are particularly happy after finally watching the Dodgers put together a complete game the night before against the hapless Cincinnati Reds. Jenna counters with Boston, and then it's on to football and her beloved New England Patriots as another NFL season gets underway. Then we remember. Twenty-five years after 9/11. One year after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Chris reflects on Charlie's legacy and the unique role he played in bringing together different parts of the conservative movement through his personality, relationships and increasingly public Christian faith. Long before Turning Point USA became a national force, Charlie's approach could be captured by one simple image: a table on a college campus and a sign reading “PROVE ME WRONG.” Sit down. Talk. Debate. Engage. Jenna also previews the Goldwater Institute's 2026 Freedom Gala on October 23 at the Arizona Biltmore, featuring special guest Adam Carolla. That sends us down another memory lane: Carolla's years alongside Dr. Drew Pinsky on Loveline, the late-night KROQ institution that became nationally syndicated and eventually spawned an MTV show. For those of us who listened to Adam and Dr. Drew back then, his later evolution into a prominent libertarian-leaning cultural and political commentator makes for an interesting trajectory. We talk about the journey from Loveline and The Man Show to podcasting, free-speech advocacy and his place today in the broader liberty-oriented media world. Finally, Jenna outlines the Goldwater Institute's current priorities and its work on economic competitiveness, consumer choice, individual liberty and limited government. Politics. Policy. Sports. Remembrance. And a healthy amount of ranting. #LightBeerDarkMoney #GoldwaterInstitute #JennaBentley #AdamCarolla #Loveline #DrDrew #CharlieKirk #NeverForget #September11 #Dodgers #RedSox #Patriots #Arizona #Faith #Freedom #FreeEnterprise #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

In this episode, Jennie and Mark Victor discuss: The story behind their written book about asking Increasing your network of contacts The effective way of asking Supporting a cause through your business Key Takeaways: There is no harm in asking. Learning and practicing the art of asking can help you turn your dreams into reality. To keep your network of contacts growing, you must first figure out what you want and who you're going to talk to, then visualize the story of showing your intention as well as your expectation of a positive response from them. You have to ask yourself, ask others, and ask God. Asking yourself positive questions will yield positive results. Support charities or social causes that are close to your heart. Giving back not only helps you grow your business, but it also touches the lives of others, inspiring them to do the same and make a difference. "Everybody's got a destiny code from the minute you were born. Your job is to find it." – Mark Victor Hansen About Mark Victor Hansen: Along with business partner Jack Canfield, Hansen is best known for creating what Time magazine called “the publishing phenomenon of the decade”. Chicken Soup for the Soul books is one of the most successful publishing franchises in the world today, with more than 500 million books sold internationally and more than 100 licensed products. The name “Chicken Soup” was chosen because of the use of chicken soup as a home remedy for the sick. The first Chicken Soup book, published by Health Communications, Inc., sold more than 2 million copies. There are now over 500 million copies in print and in 54 languages worldwide. In 2004 Hansen was inducted into the Sales & Marketing Executive International's Hall of Fame, receiving the Ambassador of Free Enterprise award. He also received the 2004 Visionary Philanthropist for Youth Award by Covenant House of CA.

After listening to this podcast, I think you might agree that we need to stop using the word "capitalism."  While capitalism and free enterprise are almost the exact same thing, the one difference will open your eyes.  i explain it all in this podcast.

Socialism and its far-reaching and seemingly unceasing grasp have seen drastic rises in Western culture—especially in the United States of America. Recent data reveals surprising (and troubling to many) increases in socialist support in the United States. Nearly half (46% to 49%) of 18- to 34-year-olds view democratic socialism positively. Separate data from organizations like the Cato Institute indicate that up to 62% of young people aged 18 to 29 hold favorable views of socialism. Within the Democratic party, support of socialism is up from 50% to about 66%. While most Americans tend to favor capitalism over socialism, the numbers continue to fall for the former and rise for the latter.[1] In the United States (at least), however, socialism is often masked with the title of democratic socialism—possibly a feeble attempt to separate the title from communism. The aim of both, however, is the same: to federalize the means of production and private business. With the recent elections of boldly-admitted socialists (e.g., Florida Democrat Angie Nixon, Colorado's Melat Kiros, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, NY's Darializa Avila-Chevalier, and massive wins by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the issue is more than a mere passing phase. It is crucial that Americans consider all facets of socialism and (for the church) especially what it means for Christians.

Todd examines Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's claim that capitalism, white supremacy, and climate change are linked oppressive systems that must be dismantled. He contrasts that worldview with free enterprise, voluntary exchange, property rights, innovation, and the biblical calling to create and build, arguing that socialism—not capitalism—uses government power to take freedom and the fruits of people's labor. Todd also challenges Talarico's progressive-Christian claims about God, gender, abortion, and Christlikeness, and explains why the battle over liberty, faith, and America's founding principles remains central to the 2026 election.

Guest host Krish Dunham uses the image of a three-ring circus to examine how fringe democratic-socialist ideas can move from the edges of a political party to its center. He argues that promises of free services, high taxation, weakened policing, open borders, and government control ignore the historical failures of socialism and communism. Drawing on American history, travel behind the former Iron Curtain, and his experience as a legal immigrant, Krish urges voters to listen closely to radical candidates, reject political apathy, defend free enterprise, and consider who ultimately pays when ideology replaces common sense.

Why do we keep falling into the same patterns, the same struggles, the same destructive habits we promised ourselves we'd left behind? We tell ourselves it's just weakness or a lack of discipline, but what if there's something deeper at work? Michael Muccio, author of Evil's First Breath and a pastor mentored by Zig Ziglar, joins host Avik to explore where evil begins according to the biblical narrative, why pride and fear sit underneath so many destructive cycles, and practical, moment-by-moment ways to interrupt them, starting with gratitude. About the Guest: Michael Muccio is a pastor, former business consultant, and author who was personally mentored by legendary motivational speaker Zig Ziglar. He is the author of Evil's First Breath, The Miracle Exchange: Living the Transformed Life, and America's Battle for Free Enterprise, and has spent four decades helping people in business, ministry, and personal counseling recognize and move through the hidden patterns that hold them back. Key Takeaways: Evil isn't only extreme acts, according to Michael, it shows up in ordinary fear, pride, anger, and the need to be right in everyday relationships. Understanding where a destructive pattern began, rather than just fighting the symptom, can change how you relate to it. Pride and fear often work together, pride can be the mask; underneath is frequently a fear people haven't yet faced. You don't have to wait to feel spiritually ready, the shift can start with a single moment of gratitude, praise, or refocused attention. Real change is rarely one dramatic turning point, it's usually small, repeated choices that build momentum over weeks and months.

Why is socialism suddenly becoming popular again in America—and what are the real consequences if it succeeds? In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Dr. Anne Bradley, professor of economics at the Institute of World Politics and Vice President of Academic Affairs at The Fund for American Studies, to examine the resurgence of democratic socialism and why so many young Americans are embracing it. The conversation explores why "free" government programs have become politically appealing, how envy and economic frustration fuel socialist movements, and why history repeatedly shows socialism leading to economic failure and government control. Tudor and Dr. Bradley also discuss the rise of crony capitalism, corporate welfare, regulatory barriers facing small businesses, and how government favoritism undermines entrepreneurship and opportunity. Drawing from history, economics, and Tudor's own experience running for governor of Michigan, they explain the difference between free-market capitalism and government-controlled economies—and why protecting opportunity matters more than ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mr. Steak's Founder, Chairman of the Board and CEO James A. Jim Mather, my Grandpa Mather, was interviewed by Cheyenne Wyoming's Tom Bauman on KRAE Radio Tuesday 23 March 1982. Many thank to Kerri Marquadt, owner of 7 of the 286 Mr. Steak franchises including the Cheyenne Wyoming location, for the gift to me of these rare tapes of the Mr. Steak franchisor founder and motivational speaker, James A. Mather. I believe this may have been recorded in the Cheyenne, Wyoming Mr. Steak restaurant during business hours. Grandpa Mather was raised by a single mother in the Great Depression in El Dorado, Kansas. He went on to serve as a Navy F2F Hellcat fighter pilot during World War 2. He started the company in 1962. He and his first wife Dottie raised 3 kids in Colorado. He died last year in the presence of his second wife Linda peacefully in Camarillo, California at the ripe age of 102 years young. Funeral services were held at Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park and performed by Pastor Rob McCoy, whom Jim mentored in the Lord. Enjoy. The Republican Professor is a pro-free-enterprise-system podcast. Therefore, welcome back Grandpa Jim James A. Mather. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D

In this episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, Doug breaks down one of the clearest contrasts in American public life: the socialist Left keeps promising power to workers, but capitalism is the system that can actually give workers ownership, opportunity, and dignity.As socialist candidates gain ground in New York and the radical wing continues consuming the old Democrat Party, Doug explains why socialism remains emotionally seductive to people who feel priced out, ignored, and discouraged. But the answer isn't more government dependency. The answer is rebuilding the American understanding of work, ownership, risk, responsibility, and free enterprise.Using the reported SpaceX employee-millionaire story as the centerpiece, Doug shows why capitalism, when rooted in virtue and ownership, does something socialism never can: it lets ordinary people help build extraordinary things and share in the success. Socialism talks about workers. Capitalism can make workers owners.This is a conversation about more than economics. It's about the future of America, the dignity of work, the danger of resentment politics, and why free people still build better than bureaucrats ever will. #TheRightSide #DougBillings #Capitalism #Socialism #AmericaFirst #FreeEnterprise #Ownership #ConservativePodcast #AmericanDream #SpaceX #Workers #Freedom #Opportunity #Commusocialism #ForTheRepublic Support the show
