Podcast appearances and mentions of George Orwell

The world's leading philosophers and psychologists were based in Germany and Austria during the rise of Hitler. They studied the darkest chapter of human history while trying to make sense of it and survive it themselves. Their teachings are an urgent alarm for us today: fascists seek endless conflict through domination, and it will never be enough. Drawing on George Orwell's analysis of Hitler, we see that while democracy offers the radical concept of "having a good time," fascism preys on a neurotic, broken need for "struggle, danger, and death." It is an addiction to conflict, often first learned in the childhood home, according to Erich Fromm, that views empathy not as a virtue, but as a target.  Walter Benjamin, before losing his own life to suicide to avoid the concentration camps, pointed out that fascists seek pleasure in their own demise. It is the fleeting, hollow glee of a bully kicking over a sandcastle because he doesn't know how to build one. Joy is how we win. The hate-fueled fascist high is a non-renewable resource. It requires a constant supply of new enemies to sustain a house of cards built on lawlessness and corruption. True joy, born of community, love, and creation, is sustainable energy, even in the unlikeliest of places, as our heroes who came before us also showed us. Stay safe. Stay defiant. And find some joy today: it's the best revenge.

Unarguably tall comedian Pierre Novellie uses his unique style of erudite bafflement to focus on the deep and the shallow in a comedic answer to In Our Time. In this episode, all about why we can't stop eating, Pierre discusses the misuse of soap, weaponised crisps, Saint Aetholwold, and George Orwell vs the pizza.As Pierre says, “I'm delighted to be given the chance to perform my own comedy on the BBC, the original source of my obsession with comedy as a child.

I ugens Radio Information taler vi både om den tilspidsede konflikt med USA, den blodige opstand i Iran, en ny dokumentarfilm om George Orwell – og så er Cavlingprisen igen kommet hjem til Information. --- En knytnævehilsen og en lettelsens smøg blev billedet på ugens skæbnemøde mellem kongeriget Danmark og USA, der gik så godt, som man realistisk kunne have håbet. Lars Løkke Rasmussen og Vivian Motzfeldt undgik Zelensky-agtige scener ved mødet med JD Vance og Marco Rubio, men uenighederne består, det amerikanske synspunkt er intakt og konflikten er langt fra løst. Så hvad gør Danmark herfra? Lars Trier Mogensen analyserer. I Iran vokser den folkelige opstand mod det forhadte regime dag for dag. Mindst 2.500 iranere formodes at have mistet livet, og flere end 10.000 menes arresteret, siden demonstrationerne begyndte d. 28. december. Samtidig truer Trump med en militær intervention, der kan hamre det sidste søm i ayatollahernes ligkiste. Men hvem skal så tage over? Rune Lykkeberg udlægger perspektiverne i et muligt iransk regimeskifte.  Hvis man i løbet af det seneste år har siddet foran sit tv og stirret vantro ind i en nyhedsstrøm præget af fake news og autoritære strømninger, har man muligvis også undervejs nået at tænke: 'Det er jo helt orwellsk!' Nu har den anerkendte instruktør Raoul Peck så i en ny dokumentarfilm sat sig for at vise, præcis hvor profetisk George Orwell faktisk var. Anita Brask Rasmussen har anmeldt filmen, der overbeviser om forfatterens skarpsindighed, men ikke nødvendigvis om instruktørens. Og endelig kigger avisens to nykårede Cavling-prisvindere, Lasse Skou Andersen og Sebastian Gjerding, forbi. For ja, de tog den sgu, landets fineste journalistpris, for – sammen med kolleger fra Danwatch – at have afsløret, hvordan dansk militært udstyr er endt i Israel og blevet brugt i bombningen af Gaza. De fortæller om deres nu prisvindende arbejde sidst i programmet.

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, I was joined by New Jersey Senator Andy Kim to discuss the ramifications and lasting effects of January 6th, his personal experience in the Capitol that day, and the horrific shooting by ICE in Minneapolis. On Wednesday, we learned of the tragic murder of an American citizen in broad daylight by an ICE agent in Minneapolis- less than a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police officers in 2020. The victim, who leaves behind a wife and child, had stuffed animals in the glovebox for her six year old. Immediately after the shooting, Trump and his acolytes in the media and within the federal government called the victim a domestic terrorist and professional agitator. They then tried to spin the video, claiming that in actuality, the life of the ICE agent who shot her was at risk. The video of the incident clearly shows the opposite. The Trump regime is telling Americans not to believe what they can see with their own eyes. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -George Orwell, 1984 ICE agents on scene denied the victim medical assistance from a doctor who witnessed the incident. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem then spoke at a press conference and called the incident a “domestic act of terrorism.”  Later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted an image reading “I STAND WITH ICE.” She then pinned that message to the top of her Twitter profile, seemingly supporting the murder that the entire country saw happen on video. All of this, because the Trump regime has made it its primary mission and goal to wage an endless, merciless war on the people in this country who don't look like they do. Everyday, ICE tears apart more and more families to please the insatiable, evil appetite of Stephen Miller, who according to recent reporting from The Atlantic openly admits that if he had it his way, everyone would look like he does. Under Trump, ICE has become what its harshest critics warned that it would- a political, loyalist, secret police force that serves at the sole direction of one man, with zero accountability or oversight from a Republican-led Congress that has entirely given up. While the Trump regime calls the innocent mother they murdered a “domestic terrorist,” remember that Donald Trump pardoned 1,600 actual domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th on day 1 of his second term. You won't want to miss this incredibly heartfelt and informative episode.

No va a haber ninguna revolución. Ni en España, ni en Europa, ni en ningún sitio. Y no es porque el poder sea fuerte, sino porque está perfectamente diseñado. En este vídeo explico por qué las masas nunca se sublevan, por qué el miedo está abajo y no arriba, y por qué toda revolución termina exactamente igual: instaurando una nueva dictadura. Apoyándonos en 1984 de George Orwell, desmontamos el mayor engaño político de la historia:

Le numéro de décembre-janvier de La Revue des Deux Mondes consacre son dossier à George Orwell, figure majeure de la pensée, dont l'œuvre continue de résonner avec acuité dans notre monde contemporain. Sous le titre « Orwell, l'intemporel », la Revue propose en effet un ensemble d'articles qui explorent la puissance prophétique de l'auteur de 1984 et La Ferme des animaux, mais aussi la complexité d'un écrivain trop souvent réduit à ses dystopies. Aurélie Julia, la passionnante directrice de la revue, est l'invitée de Pierre-Édouard Deldique, dans ce nouveau numéro du magazine IDÉES. Dans l'éditorial, elle pose une question qui traverse tout le numéro : « Aurions-nous dépassé en 2025 les sombres prédictions de l'écrivain britannique ? ». L'interrogation mérite en effet d'être soulevée. Face à l'essor des pouvoirs autoritaires, à la montée de la surveillance numérique, à l'appauvrissement de la langue, à la prolifération de la post-vérité ou encore aux promesses ambiguës du transhumanisme, Orwell apparaît comme un compagnon de route indispensable pour penser les dérives de nos sociétés. La revue rappelle que la force d'Orwell tient à la cohérence entre sa vie et son œuvre : immersion parmi les plus pauvres, engagement dans la guerre d'Espagne, observation minutieuse des mécanismes de domination. Cette expérience du réel nourrit une lucidité qui, aujourd'hui encore, éclaire nos inquiétudes. À lire aussiCannes 2025: Raoul Peck s'intéresse à la lucidité très contemporaine de George Orwell   Comme à chaque fois, le numéro rassemble des contributions variées, qui dessinent un portrait pluriel de l'écrivain. L'ensemble compose un dossier dense qui mêle littérature, réflexion politique et analyse sociétale. Orwell n'y est pas figé dans une posture de prophète, mais il est présenté comme un penseur du réel, dont la lucidité dérange autant qu'elle éclaire. La revue insiste sur un point essentiel : si Orwell demeure si actuel, ce n'est pas parce qu'il aurait « prédit » notre monde, mais parce qu'il a compris les mécanismes universels du pouvoir, de la manipulation et de la servitude volontaire. En rassemblant des voix diverses, La Revue des Deux Mondes propose un numéro qui invite à relire Orwell dont les textes continuent de nous mettre en garde contre les dérives de notre temps. Ce dossier offre ainsi une porte d'entrée stimulante pour quiconque souhaite comprendre pourquoi, près de 75 ans après sa mort, Orwell demeure l'un des penseurs les plus nécessaires pour affronter les défis du XXIᵉ siècle.

A fascinating exploration of George Orwell--and his body of work--by an award-winning Orwellian biographer and scholar, presenting the author anew to twenty-first-century readers. We find ourselves in an era when the moment is ripe for a reevaluation of the life and the works of one of the twentieth century's greatest authors. This is the first twenty-first-century biography on George Orwell, with special recognition to D. J. Taylor's stature as an award-winning biographer and Orwellian. Using new sources that are now available for the first time, we are tantalizingly at the end of the lifespan of Orwell's last few contemporaries, whose final reflections are caught in this book. The way we look at a writer and his canon has changed even over the course of the last two decades; there is a post-millennial prism through which we must now look for such a biography to be fresh and relevant. This is what Orwell: The New Life (Pegasus Books, 2023) achieves. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Robert Kiyosaki and business experts warn that the biggest crash in human history hasn't just been predicted—it's already started. From the "Great Reset" to the shadow moves of billionaires like Warren Buffett, the global economy is being re-engineered before our eyes.

Robert Kiyosaki believes that this will be the biggest crash in history. In fact, he believes it's already started". "Banks can take money directly from your bank account. I have had banks take hundreds of thousands of pounds off of me directly without asking me and without telling me... This stuff is not George Orwell 1984; it is 2026". "Billionaires, they buy gold and silver and they hope it doesn't go up in value. So it's a hedge against a property crash, a stock market crash, and an economic crash".

Gloria J. Browne Marshall welcomes Yunior Rivas to Law of the Land to talk about George Orwell and 2025 in Review.

Raoul Peck, the acclaimed Haitian filmmaker, discusses his new film, which examines how George Orwell "foretold a chilling, all-too-believable authoritarian future."

Last week was a tough news week: murders and mayhem everywhere you look. Steve Green brings us another homicide case currently being investigated: Lord of the Rings actor Andy Sirkis has decided to remake George Orwell's classic take on the horrors of socialism, Animal Farm, and turn it into a fun-loving, family-friendly romp on the horrors of CAPITALISM. And there goes another actor whose work we all used to admire greatly…

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and  Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's  The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family.

Digital IDs and homophobia. Two huge topics co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow have attempted to tackle in this episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, the podcast where you, the listeners, send in questions for us to discuss.Stuart and William don't see the questions before recording and they usually try to relate them back to nature, the countryside, or the environment but you the listener often take us in unexpected directions.The first unexpected turn comes from this question sent in by Clodagh in Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland - “The Prime Minister in England has said digital ID cards will come in. What do you think about that? Some say it won't stop the migrants coming across the channel in the small boats which is the quoted aim, others say its design is to squash people who show images of themselves on Twitter with a St Georges flag saying they are proud English. Is the idea good for anything, or abhorrent to you both?”.Stuart doubts digital ID cards will have any effect on migrants, since the process they use isn't legal and operates through the black market, while William notes that consolidating all IDs into one digital system could create security risks. Stuart compares the topic of digital ID cards to Brexit, saying he doesn't have enough information to form an opinion, and it currently doesn't concern or affect him at all. It “ doesn't even flex a hair follicle on my back at the moment.” William on the other hand observes that those who find digital ID systems abhorrent see them as excessive state interference, often influenced by a simplistic reading of George Orwell's novel 1984.The second bend in the metaphorical road comes in the guise of this question from Steven in Port Carlisle, England - “Do the Homophobes out there realise Homosexuals come from Heterosexual stock?”William compares homophobes to racists, suggesting they are either driven by an agenda, ignorance, or both. He emphasizes that a person's sexuality only matters to him in the context of a romantic relationship; otherwise, it is irrelevant. Stuart suggests taking an environmental perspective, examining arguments on environmentalism or sustainability, and identifying where any hypocrisy may exist.What do you make of this discussion?

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. This week co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper delve into George Orwell's infamous essay on sport, specifically focusing on Dinamo Moscow's 1945 tour of Britain. They explore Orwell's controversial viewpoint that serious sport is akin to 'war minus the shooting,' and delve into the historical and political context of this post-WWII football tour. The discussion covers the tactical innovations introduced by the Soviet team, the media and public's reaction, and the broader implications for international sport and politics. This episode provides an in-depth look at how football can both unite and divide, reflecting on Orwell's critique and its relevance to today's sports culture.00:00 Introduction: The Dark Side of Sports01:05 George Orwell's Influence on Sports01:49 The Political Context of the 1945 Moscow Tour02:47 The Goodwill Tour: Ideals vs. Reality05:00 The Soviet Union's Football Strategy08:23 The Arrival of Dinamo Moscow21:45 The First Match: Dinamo Moscow vs Chelsea30:53 The Political Showdown: Arsenal vs Dinamo Moscow32:31 The Final Game in Scotland35:56 Soviet Propaganda and the Legacy of the Tour40:36 Tactical Innovations and English Football's Response47:36 George Orwell's Critique of Sport53:18 Football's Role in Nationalism and International Relations01:00:51 Concluding Thoughts on Orwell and Football Hosted on Acast.

“Gratitude is contagious. It's something that becomes more powerful as you express it. It reminds me of how fortunate I've been — and through that privilege I feel I owe to do what I can for others.”John Pepper, P&G's former Chairman and CEO, needs no introduction. John has played many roles in business, community, service, and the lives of countless people. He returns to our podcast to discuss his new book, "100 Books That Shaped My Life: Reflections on a Lifetime of Reading, " which might just be the perfect gift this holiday season, for yourself or for anyone in your life who loves a good read."100 Books That Shaped My Life" is no mere book list — it is a life story told through the books that walked alongside John: as a husband, father, leader, citizen, and as someone thinking deeply about what matters most in the time we're given. These are the books that shaped John's understanding of history, democracy, gratitude, and hope — especially in the most recent chapters of his life.Moving from Values, to Biographies, Philosophy, U.S. and Global History, Memoirs, Novels, and Personal Essays, 100 Books That Shaped My Life mirrors something true about John himself: a leader shaped not by one discipline, but by a lifelong curiosity across every discipline. In our conversation, John reflects on how a lifetime of reading helped him better live a lifetime — deepening his understanding of friendship, love, loss, courage, service, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.John's literary influences range from novelists like John Steinbeck, Oliver Sacks, Wallace Stegner, Marilynne Robinson, George Orwell, and Tolstoy, to memoirists such as Frederick Douglass, Katharine Graham, James Reston, and Michelle Obama, to historians and biographers including David Blight, Jon Meacham, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jill Lepore, and so many others. Woven through all of it is a deeply human narrative — his love for his late wife, Francie; his reflections on aging, family, and purpose; the leaders who shaped him; the lessons hard-won; and the quiet moments that stayed with him.As Bob Iger put it, “Whether you're an executive or simply someone who loves reading and learning, you will find great value and wisdom in this book.” And we couldn't agree more. For anyone who enjoys learning from lived experience, this conversation — and this book — make a wonderful companion. It might even inspire you to reflect on everything you've read and learned along the way.

George Orwell's famous essay "Politics and the English Language" leads us into a discussion of good language, good thought, and their relationship. PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/145712151

In 1949, American critic Lionel Trilling, writing in the New Yorker, was quick to recognize the achievement of George Orwell's new novel. "[P]rofound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating," he said. 1984 "confirms its author in the special, honorable place he holds in our intellectual life." And while the Cold War and the book's primary satirical targets - Stalin and his totalitarian regime - may have faded from view, the rise of technology and our current geopolitics mean that many of 1984's warnings are more relevant than ever.

durée : 00:10:05 - Le Point culture - par : Sophie-Catherine Gallet - En 1949 paraissait un ouvrage visionnaire, le roman "1984" de George Orwell. Pourtant, si cette œuvre est devenue rapidement l'une des plus célèbres au monde, les conditions dans lesquelles Orwell l'écrivit sont restées mal connues. Jean-Pierre Perrin revient dans un livre sur cette genèse. - réalisation : Laurence Malonda - invités : Jean-Pierre Perrin Journaliste et écrivain

Abundance and Why Selfishness is Good In this episode, we take on important questions like: "Is carbon dioxide good or bad?", "Is the American Dream still alive?", and "Why is selfishness good?" Canada has 3 proposed laws that may give their government a lot more power and take away a lot of freedom for their citizens. In his stories, George Orwell predicted a lot of the things going on now. While those that believe in Socialism say they want to make people "equal", nature has its own equilibrium. Government just needs to get out of the way. In order to achieve great things, we need to know that we can succeed and keep the benefits of our efforts. Tune in to find out why selfishness in a voluntary society is good.  Sponsors: American Gold Exchange Our dealer for precious metals & the exclusive dealer of Real Power Family silver rounds (which we finally got in!!!).

Like the Bad Religion song says, "sometimes truth is stranger than fiction." In this episode, Andrew For America talks about a recent Al Jazeera article comparing the dystopian novels "1984" by George Orwell, and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. The article talks about how these novels discuss "utopia" and "negative utopia," and how our modern technologically advanced world is starting to confirm both of these narratives: these prophetic fiction novels seem to be more factual and accurate than we previously wanted to believe. Andrew also talks about a book released by the Club of Rome entitled, "Mankind at the Turning Point" which lays out how "they invented" the climate crisis idea to be the catalyst idea that would be used to usher in a global control system in the hands of a very few people. Andrew also plays a clip of Klaus Schwab admitting that the World Economic Forum's 'young global leaders' are prepped and utilized to infiltrate governments all over the world. Andrew ends by reading a fantastic piece by Students For Liberty illustrating how the practice of both fascism and socialism is very similar in nature...and how the end result of both theoretical "systems" is always the same.The song selection is the song, "Arthur Ingleman" by the band Hobo Bridge.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org

How about an AB Short to make sure you don't get too comfortable during the holiday season? It's serious, man, and it's based on my interview with Adrian Smith. He exposes the Fabian Society and how they are as active as ever, from the World Economic Forum to England's leadership to Canadian “healthcare,” happily radiating the world with mind-control, useless wars, eugenics, and nation-building. We'll also go back through history to expose many of their founders: H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and others. This content is all George Orwell approved, and he warned us about this movement many times.

It's an early commentary on the events in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Here's a clip from last week's Gaslit Nation Salon, where I lay out what it will take for us to stop reactionary elections that punish whichever party is in power: the political pendulum swinging between Christian nationalists to establishment Democrats back to Christian nationalists. If we're serious about defeating fascism and overcoming the many crises we face, we need real political stability built from the ground up, not another cycle of rage-voting whiplash. Because if we don't confront these systemic issues, the voters will continue to punish whichever party is in power, and, as we saw in 2016 and 2024, this just makes everything worse, for everyone.  The clip also unpacks my conversation with the great E. Jean Carroll, an interview that sparked a lot of questions and debate among our listeners. You can listen to the full interview here on Patreon, here, or wherever you get your podcasts.  Last week's full salon discussion will be available on Monday morning for our Patreon members, along with a Zoom link for Monday's salon at 4pm ET.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Will President Donald Trump sign the Epstein Transparency Act later tonight? If signed into law, the bill requires the Department of Justice to make public all unclassified records and investigative materials relating to Jeffrey Epstein no later than 30 days after the date of enactment. 6:15pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump was the keynote speaker at the McDonald's Impact Summitt—joking that he loves the Filet-o-Fish sandwich but that it often needs more tartar sauce! He also bragged about getting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to eat a Big Mac while on the campaign trail. 6:20pm- According to reports, President Trump's typical order at McDonald's is: Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, large fry, diet Coke, and a chocolate milkshake. 6:30pm- According to White House officials, President Donald Trump will sign the Epstein Transparency Act tonight. Looking at his schedule, he has dinner with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at 7:15pm—will Trump sign the bill before or after? 6:35pm- While appearing on CNN with Michael Smerconish, author Barry Levine hypothesized that Donald Trump may have been the 2004 whistleblower that spoke with Palm Beach police about Jeffrey Epstein predations—leading to an investigation. He noted that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has also made a similar claim. 6:40pm- Rich's PragerU Book Club episode released this afternoon! He sat down with The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles to discuss Animal Farm by George Orwell. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmFJ11619bY.

This week, we're talking about the Epstein Files, the shutdown that wasn't really about the shutdown, and why six words might just end a presidency.Meanwhile, some privileged podcasters are dismissing angry "online" Democrats as if losing our healthcare is just a theoretical concern.  Plus:  The increasingly evident mental decline of a president: Trump goes from "inventing" the word "affordability" to *not wanting to hear about it.* George Orwell's question—"Was he, then, alone, in the possession of a memory?"—has never been more relevant.All this and more on this week's Professional Left podcast.Warning: This episode is not safe for work.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

We use “Orwellian” to describe everything from campus dust-ups to authoritarian crackdowns. But what did George Orwell actually stand for, what did he get wrong, and what can we learn from him about our age of surveillance capitalism and distraction? Sean's guest is Laura Beers, historian at American University and author of Orwell's Ghosts: Wisdom and Warnings for the 21st Century. They dig into Orwell's defense of truth over ideology, his crusade against euphemism, his experience with propaganda and persecution in Spain, and why 1984 and Animal Farm only capture part of his project.  Host: Sean Illing (@SeanIlling) Guest: Laura Beers, historian and author of Orwell's Ghosts We would love to hear from you.

Rage bait pulls your strings and your nervous system pays the price. Social media algorithms thrive on making you angry, fearful, and activated because those emotions keep you scrolling longer, but most people can't spot when they're being manipulated. The internet runs on manufactured outrage that tricks your brain into thinking extreme opinions are everywhere when they're actually held by tiny fractions of people. Your caveman survival instincts make you hyper-focus on threats and problems instead of solutions, which is exactly what content creators exploit for engagement. Dead internet theory reveals most online traffic isn't even human anymore, it's bot farms flooding comments to sway opinions and create artificial division. Learning your personal "tells" when rage bait hooks you, like forming an angry response or that frustrated sigh, gives you the pause needed to respond from wisdom instead of activated emotions. Time boxing your apps, curating ruthlessly by blocking anything that activates you, and the 48-hour rule help protect your nervous system from being puppet-mastered by algorithms designed to keep you in fight-or-flight mode.
