When data centers come to town, power bills go up, the water supply gets squeezed, and emissions start to rise. It's no wonder seven in ten Americans don't want one in their backyard. In the midst of this AI gold rush, many tech companies are taking advantage of communities, health, wealth, and safety for promises of a better future. But communities aren't taking the bait. In this episode, we talk about the real life effects of AI infrastructure and hear how it's affecting folks in our community. We get the stats on this booming industry and what's at stake. We hear from Abre' Connor, the civil rights attorney leading the NAACP's lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI — a data center that's now running 59 methane gas turbines in a Mississippi community, breaking a law that's been on the books since the 1970s.And we ask the uncomfortable question: could all this energy hunger actually accelerate the renewable transition? Is the AI revolution happening to us or for us? And what can we do about it? Episode rundown: (00:53) - On thing we can agree on (09:14) - The ripple effects of the AI boom (14:35) - The NAACP Lawyer Taking Elon Musk's xAI (27:59) - Can the Grid Save Us?

Hello, I'm Michael Watson joined by Sarah Lee and this is our first episode of Capital Research Center's “Who Funds That?” podcast. I am fond of reminding anyone who will hear me that organized labor is an institutional pillar of “Everything Leftism,” the omnibus ideology of progressive-liberal-socialist politics that relies on every single issue—yes, including that one—has one right answer and every issue relies on all issues following the party line. Today's guest, Rhyen Staley of Defending Education, found documents from the Sunrise Movement, the radical left mobilization group that has shifted focus from the Green New Deal and environmentalism toward the full Everything Leftist agenda, that further prove these ties. He joins us today to discuss his research on Sunrise Movement's guide to planned school disruptions and the role of the teachers' unions in supporting them.A Sunrise Movement training guidebook calls for students to ‘take action monthly' to ‘disrupt business as usual' to bring about a ‘political revolution'Newly obtained slides from a Sunrise Movement membership meeting calls for a ‘political revolution' that includes the ‘need to structurally change the foundations of this country' to achieve ‘Eco-socialism, [a] multi-racial democracy, and Green New Deal legislation'A May Day 2026 Host Toolkit includes training information for a “coordinated day of action” and promotes tactics such as a school ‘walk-in'; NEA provided $1.7M in funding to organization involved with training.K-12 Student Walkout and Protest Tracker

Sons Of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean As The Madness Continues On... The Madness Continues: A Call for Accountability, Biblical Law, and Skepticism of the Establishment Sons of Liberty: As The Madness Continues Radio Abstract Host: Bradley Dean | A critique of political accountability, spiritual apathy, and institutional deception. The 545 Accountability Rule "545 human beings are responsible for the mess." 1 President 100 Senators 435 Congressmen 9 SC Justices The American people are complicit through tolerance and lack of enforcement. Core Editorial Arguments The Income Tax Fallacy: Destroyed financial privacy and forced two-earner households, eroding family values. The "Common Con": Politicians create problems to campaign against them; the Federal Reserve is a private entity delegated constitutional duties. Spiritual Prerequisite: Revival is impossible without preaching God's Moral Law (The 10 Commandments) to reveal sin. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is not only unpatriotic, but morally treasonable." — Theodore Roosevelt Critical Flashpoints Political Mockery Critique of Donald Trump's "messianic" imagery; labeled as blasphemy and "spirit of anti-Christ." Institutional Lies Skepticism of NASA's Artemis mission and Apollo history; claims of staged moon landings to justify theft of trillions. Medical Justice Demand for accountability regarding mRNA vaccine deaths; calls for justice against "the father of the vaccine." #Repentance #Liberty #545Responsible #BiblicalWorldview Source: SONS of LIBERTY Radio | Episode: 2026-04-13 Action: "Right the Wrong" This broadcast of Sons of Liberty Radio features host Bradley Dean addressing the systemic corruption within the U.S. government and the church, emphasizing a desperate need for a return to Biblical moral law. Dean critiques the political establishment, challenges mainstream narratives surrounding public health and space exploration, and calls on Americans to cease their tolerance of "the con game" played by those in power. Detailed Summary The "Common Con" of the 545 The broadcast opens with a reflection on the destructive nature of the income tax and the erosion of financial privacy. Dean references a classic column by Charlie Reese, arguing that a mere 545 individuals—comprising the President, senators, congressmen, and Supreme Court justices—are directly responsible for the nation's domestic plagues. He asserts that these politicians create problems specifically to campaign against them, maintaining a "common con" that thrives only because the American public tolerates a lack of accountability and the unconstitutional delegation of power to entities like the Federal Reserve. The "545" Responsibility Framework According to the Charlie Reese doctrine cited in the broadcast: 435Representatives 100Senators 9SC Justices 1President "545 human beings out of 325.7 million are directly responsible for the problems that plague this country." Spiritual Foundations and the Failure of the Church Dean posits that the core of America's decline is spiritual, stemming from a departure from God's moral law. He criticizes modern "popular" Christian speakers for failing to preach repentance and instead seeking the "approbation of man." By removing the "schoolmaster" of the Law, Dean argues, the church has deprived the Gospel of its power to bring about genuine conversion. He emphasizes that the "good guys" are often accomplices to evil because they allow corruption to persist without enforcing justice or following the Biblical command to repent. The Critique of Political Idolatry A significant portion of the broadcast is dedicated to criticizing Donald Trump, whom Dean describes as a narcissist who mocks Christ. He condemns the "In Trump We Trust" sentiment and the use of imagery depicting Trump as a savior or the "Son of Man." Dean argues that if Christians truly viewed Jesus as Lord, they would hold Trump accountable to the Constitution and the Law rather than offering him blind support. He also briefly addresses Marjorie Taylor Greene, suggesting her recent "anti-establishment" rhetoric is merely a result of falling out of favor with the "good old boy club". Institutional Skepticism: Space and Public Health The host expresses deep skepticism toward NASA and the medical establishment. He analyzes recent Artemis II press conference footage, claiming that the astronauts' own words—specifically Commander Reid Wiseman stating it is the "first time" humans are going to the moon—prove that previous lunar missions were staged. Furthermore, Dean revisits the "mRNA scam," accusing both the Biden and Trump administrations of responsibility for vaccine-related deaths. He highlights Trump's own insistence on taking credit for the vaccines as evidence of his culpability in what Dean terms "murder". The "Establishment Box" Trap Dean argues that voters are manipulated into choosing between pre-selected options that all serve the same agenda. The Illusion of Choice: 1,100+ candidates exist, but media focuses on a "handful" from the same team. The Solution: Stop looking at the "R" or "D" next to a name and start thinking outside the establishment box. The Source: Change must begin within the Church before it can manifest in the government. Key Data The 545: The specific number of federal officials (1 President, 9 Supreme Court Justices, 100 Senators, 435 Representatives) identified as responsible for national policy. Artemis II Program: A $93 billion NASA program scrutinized by the host for its "first time" rhetoric. Vaccine Timeline: Reference to deaths occurring as quickly as 34 hours post-injection. To-Do / Next Steps Schedule a community event with Bradley Dean by calling 1-866-233-0747. Visit SonsOfLibertyRadio.com to support the ministry financially or become a "Son or Daughter of Liberty." Study the Biblical requirements for repentance and the moral law found in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 7:10. Listen to the broadcast live on Rumble every Sunday at 9:00 AM Central Time for "uncompromised" truth. Research the "Green New Deal scam" through the American Policy Center. Read the works of Josephus for eyewitness accounts of Biblical history. Conclusion The broadcast concludes with a firm reminder that "the madness" of government overreach and spiritual deception will continue until the American people stop complaining and start enforcing justice. Bradley Dean's message is a call to move beyond the "establishment box" and return to a foundation of Biblical obedience and individual responsibility.

We are living through a collision of overlapping crises: an increasing cost-of-living, climate change and a deepening state of political disillusionment. While these issues are often treated as isolated government failures, our next guest argues that they share a single, predatory origin: the Global Casino, commonly known as the international financial market.We were thrilled to welcome Ann Pettifor, the political economist who famously predicted the 2007/08 crash. Drawing on findings from her major works, The Case for a Green New Deal and The Global Casino, we will tell the story of the "top dogs" of finance and the "pretend-powerless" governments that gamble away at the Casino table.

From smoggy San Diego tennis courts to shaping the Green New Deal, my guest Mark Z. Jacobson has spent his life answering one question: How do we actually fix air pollution and climate change? In this episode, I talk with the Stanford professor and director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program about why we don't need miracle technologies; we just need to deploy the clean solutions that already work. You'll hear why many “solutions” like carbon capture, blue hydrogen, biofuels, and new nuclear are expensive distractions, how wind, water, and solar can reliably power the grid 100%, and why electrifying everything (cars, heating, cooking, industry) slashes both energy use and deaths from air pollution. https://youtu.be/DDTbFNebRVE Mark also walks me through real-world data from 150+ country-level transition plans, his own 100% renewable home, and why the biggest barrier now isn't technology, it's politics, misinformation, and lack of focus. If you're a founder, policymaker, or just a concerned citizen wondering whether we're doomed or if the solutions are real, this episode will help you see what actually works, what doesn't, and how you and I can both help accelerate the transition. Quotes: “We don't need miracle technologies to solve climate change, we need the courage to deploy the solutions we already have.” “Every year we delay the transition to clean energy, seven and a half million more people die from air pollution. Waiting is not neutral, it's deadly.” “This isn't a technology problem anymore; it's a focus problem. When we ignore the distractions and double down on wind, water, and solar, a 100% clean energy world becomes inevitable.” Resources: Mark Jacobson on LinkedIn Stanford University

Lucy Biggers is a former climate activist and influencer who spent five years pushing the Green New Deal, plastic bans, and pipeline protests — racking up over 100 million views on Facebook. She interviewed Greta Thunberg and AOC, and helped change how her newsroom referred to climate change. Today, she's the head of social media at the Free Press and one of the most compelling voices explaining how the climate movement captured an entire generation.-In this conversation, we go beyond the usual climate debate and into the psychology of how intelligent, well-meaning people get ideologically captured. Lucy walks us through the groupthink inside left-wing newsrooms, the social enforcement mechanisms that keep people in line, and what it actually took to leave the movement behind.-We break down how the media distorts climate science through a chain of telephone from UN reports to viral memes, why COVID was the first crack in the narrative, and the role that China may have played in weaponising the climate movement against Western energy independence.We also get into the religious psychology underlying climate activism, the anti-human throughline connecting multiple social movements, and why motherhood became the final catalyst for Lucy to speak out.-Get original articles, extended podcasts, and direct access to Blendr News on our Substack Channel:blendrnews.com-This episode is brought to you by The Tallowed Truth.

The Hassan Piker litmus test being pushed by Third Way president Jonathan Cowan includes a letter sent directly to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, pressuring him to cut ties with Piker before planned college campus rallies. Hawk calls out this move as a political threat from an unelected think tank trying to dictate who Democratic candidates are allowed to campaign with. The Bulwark columnist Lauren Egan and journalist Andrew Perez of Zeteo both weighed in on the controversy, as did Bulwark contributor Tim Miller, whose livestream defense of common sense over factional infighting drew backlash from AIPAC-aligned media. Hawk also draws direct parallels to the treatment of Zohran Mamdani after his New York City Democratic primary win, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's widely condemned response to it. Third Way openly declared it will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, targeting Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and abolishing ICE. Hawk argues that an organization spending tens of millions against its own party base, rather than against Republicans, reveals exactly who controls the Democratic Party and why so many progressive voters feel politically homeless.

Like many of the world's iconic coastal cities, Boston faces potentially severe impacts from climate change. Depending on global emissions, Boston could face several feet of sea level rise this century, which would leave many parts of the city subject to tidal and storm flooding. Precipitation events could become more frequent and extreme, and its already-humid summers could become dangerously hot, with most days over 90 degrees. Today, Boston is a booming city with a growing population, a glittering new waterfront neighborhood, world-class universities and a strong economy. Its future risks and opportunities related to climate change are shaped by the 400-year environmental, social and economic history of the city's development. As part of Anthem's series, Climate Change and the Future of Boston (Anthem Press, 2026) by Dr. Courtney Humphries describes how Boston's history and current context shape future climate impacts and examines the mitigation and adaptation strategies the city has taken. Boston is a leader in acknowledging the problem of climate change; it has set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, among other climate-related goals. It has also developed science-based climate models and undertaken a robust planning process to identify strategies to protect its waterfront from flooding and increase its resilience to other climate-related impacts. Its mayor has embraced a progressive Green New Deal for Boston emphasizing the need for an inclusive and equitable approach to climate mitigation and adaptation. But the city also faces structural challenges, such as aging infrastructure, historic racial inequities, rising gentrification and income inequality and ongoing political and regulatory obstacles that hinder efforts to adapt in an efficient and just manner. The book concludes with a set of forward-looking scenarios about what the future may have in store for the city and the lessons it holds for other coastal cities struggling with these challenges. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Like many of the world's iconic coastal cities, Boston faces potentially severe impacts from climate change. Depending on global emissions, Boston could face several feet of sea level rise this century, which would leave many parts of the city subject to tidal and storm flooding. Precipitation events could become more frequent and extreme, and its already-humid summers could become dangerously hot, with most days over 90 degrees. Today, Boston is a booming city with a growing population, a glittering new waterfront neighborhood, world-class universities and a strong economy. Its future risks and opportunities related to climate change are shaped by the 400-year environmental, social and economic history of the city's development. As part of Anthem's series, Climate Change and the Future of Boston (Anthem Press, 2026) by Dr. Courtney Humphries describes how Boston's history and current context shape future climate impacts and examines the mitigation and adaptation strategies the city has taken. Boston is a leader in acknowledging the problem of climate change; it has set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, among other climate-related goals. It has also developed science-based climate models and undertaken a robust planning process to identify strategies to protect its waterfront from flooding and increase its resilience to other climate-related impacts. Its mayor has embraced a progressive Green New Deal for Boston emphasizing the need for an inclusive and equitable approach to climate mitigation and adaptation. But the city also faces structural challenges, such as aging infrastructure, historic racial inequities, rising gentrification and income inequality and ongoing political and regulatory obstacles that hinder efforts to adapt in an efficient and just manner. The book concludes with a set of forward-looking scenarios about what the future may have in store for the city and the lessons it holds for other coastal cities struggling with these challenges. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Clean Energy Exploitations: Helping Citizens Understand the Environmental and Humanity Abuses That Support Clean Energy by Ronald Stein, Todd Royal Americaoutloud.news/author/ronald-stein-p-e https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Energy-Exploitations-Understand-Environmental/dp/1665704977 The global focus on reducing emissions must be ethical instead of supporting environmental degradation. The book Clean Energy Exploitations – Helping citizens understand the environmental and humanity abuses that support ‘clean’ energy” is a Nominee for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize competition in the General Nonfiction category. Pulitzer Prize Winners and Finalists will be announced in April 2022. They also emphasize the global nature of the problem, noting that the United States of America could cease to exist and we’d see environmental problems get worse. In this book, they answer questions such as: Would the Green New Deal cut worldwide emissions? What toll is energy racism and inequality taking on the world? How effective are renewable forms of energy in meeting our needs? Whose duty is it to reduce harmful pollution? Green advocates often say they support sustainable and ethical coffee, sneakers, handbags, and diamonds-and they claim they won’t tolerate unsafe conditions. But when it comes to green energy and battery energy storage systems for electrical grids and electric vehicles, the authors say it is a different story.

Storytelling is having a moment.But most brands are still telling stories that sound exactly the same.On this episode of Talking Tactics, Safy sits down with John Gorman, founder of Saint Orange, to unpack why “storytelling” has become marketing's favorite buzzword and how it lost its edge along the way.They get into what actually separates storytelling from narrative and copywriting, why higher ed marketing has been sanded down to beige, and how playing it safe is quietly killing differentiation. From building lore without blowing up your institution to measuring whether a story is doing its job, this conversation is equal parts strategic, cultural, and refreshingly honest.If you're a marketer who wants fewer buzzwords, better stories, and permission to take smarter creative risks, press play.Guest Name: John Gorman, Founder & Principal, Saint OrangeGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfgorman/Guest Bio: John Gorman is a strategist, writer, keynote speaker, and creative director living in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

On this episode of the Energy News Beat Stand Up, I cover the key issues around Davos, Greenland, and some investing stories around Oil Field Service Companies, and why this is important.The main topics discussed in this podcast are:1. President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he promoted America's energy dominance and criticized policies like net zero emissions targets.2. The potential acquisition or deal regarding Greenland, which the host suggests could be called the “Green New Deal” as a joke.3. We give Newsom a shout-out as ourcriticism of California's energy policies and the potential energy crisis in the state has helped our numbers and new subscribers.4. Analysis of several oil and gas services stocks, including Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, and Liberty Energy. Liberty has successfully been changing its business model, and I am interviewing its CEO again in a few weeks. The nimble, profitable companies will thrive and survive.5. Updates on crude oil inventory levels and energy market prices.Time Stamps00:38 President Trump's Davos speech2:18 Can we call Greenland acquisition “The Green New Deal” just to mess with folks05:03 Trump takes aim at Net Zero06:28 Greenland Deal specifics and update09:03 Gavin Newsom and President Trump Showdown is on deck14:06 Post-Maduro Capture is a good time to look at Oil Field Service Stocks21:04 Oil inventories upStories Covered On the Podcast1.Trump's Speech at Davos Sets the Choice of Grow Baby Grow or Keep Doing What You're Doing2.Trump Takes Aim at Britain's Net Zero Agenda in Davos Tirade3.Negotiations Over Greenland Are Moving in a Positive Direction, Says Trump4.Trump vs. Newsom Energy Showdown is About to Start5.Post Maduro Capture, Venezuela Is Not the Only Reason to Own Oil Field Services Stocks6.US Crude Oil Inventories UpJust In -German Chancelor Merz says “We have become the world's champions of over-regulation.”This is a brief part of the admission that they have failed, but the key point is that the once-great poster child of the Green New Deal has admitted they cannot go on under the old ways.But whether they will change is the key.Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/p/the-davos-crowd-just-got-the-royalIt is clear that the Davos trip was wild.

In this explosive episode of The Alan Sanders Show, we dive deep into the brazen leftist disruption at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Don Lemon and anti-ICE activist Nekima Levy Armstrong led a mob that stormed a peaceful Sunday service over Pastor David Easterwood's ties to ICE. Families and kids were terrified as protesters chanted, obstructed worship, and shut it down, triggering a DOJ civil rights investigation under the FACE Act for federal violations protecting religious freedom. While ICE ramps up arrests of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota, including murderers, rapists, gang members like MS-13, and one with 24 convictions, sanctuary politicians like Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey release hundreds back into communities, endangering Americans. Plus, big wins against globalism: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the WEF in Davos that the age of globalization has failed the West and America asTrump's team is ending job offshoring and no longer bowing to it. And Energy Secretary Chris Wright is returning $13 billion in unobligated Green New Deal subsidies to the Treasury, scrapping wasteful wind, solar, EV, and battery handouts to refocus on reliable, affordable American energy. Don't miss this full breakdown of attacks on faith, law enforcement victories, and the end of failed globalist policies. America First is winning!

Lithium, a crucial input in the batteries powering electric vehicles, has the potential to save the world from climate change. But even green solutions come at a cost. Mining lithium is environmentally destructive. We therefore confront a dilemma: Is it possible to save the world by harming it in the process? Having spent over a decade researching mining and oil sectors in Latin America, Thea Riofrancos is a leading voice on resource extraction. In this episode, we discuss her 2025 book Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism, in which she draws on groundbreaking fieldwork on the global race for lithium. Taking readers from the breathtaking salt flats of Chile's Atacama Desert to Nevada's glorious Silver Peak Range to the rolling hills of the Barroso Region of Portugal, the book reveals the social and environmental costs of “critical minerals.” She takes stock of new policy paradigms in the Global South, where governments seek to leverage mineral assets to jumpstart green development. Zooming out from lithium, we also discuss the evolving geopolitics and geoeconomics of energy transition, critical minerals, and green technology supply chains. — Thea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College, a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute, and a fellow at the Transnational Institute. Her research focuses on resource extraction, climate change, the energy transition, the global lithium sector, green technologies, social movements, and the Latin American left. She explored these themes in her book, Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador (Duke University Press, 2020), peer-reviewed articles in Cultural Studies, World Politics, and Global Environmental Politics, and her coauthored book, A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal (Verso Books, 2019).

Clean energy won't save us from the effects of climate change.Amid corporate Net Zero campaigns, the politics of the Green New Deal, and the calls to abandon fossil fuels for renewable technology — or vice versa — lies a troubling truth: No clean technological solutions can solve the problem of human-induced climate change.To find a credible path to a sustainable future, we must set aside hopes of building our way out of humanity's addictions to energy and material convenience. In Why We Struggle to Go Green: Hard Truths about the Clean Energy Transition (Texas A&M Press, 2025), Tom Ortiz offers a clear-eyed assessment of our efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change. As a mechanical engineer who has traversed the conventional and renewable energy landscapes for 30 years, Ortiz provides an in-depth yet easy-to-understand assessment of the harsh reality facing mankind.Bridging the gap between academic research and journalism, Ortiz shows why there are no easy answers in the energy transition. Beginning with a general overview of human energy use and a summary of key physical constraints on energy and natural resource extraction, the book details five pillars of the transition: electrification, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, recycling, and carbon pricing. Ortiz concludes with recommendations for changes society can make that, while perhaps painful and controversial, will reduce our collective environmental impact and bequeath a more manageable legacy to future generations.Why We Struggle to Go Green cuts through the hype and rhetoric to offer something rare: climate change realism from someone who's spent decades looking for solutions.

The conservative movement is officially at war. This weekend at TPUSA's "AmericaFest" in Phoenix—the first since the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk—the tensions finally boiled over. Ben Shapiro took the stage to blast Tucker Carlson for "moral imbecility," while Tucker fired back at the "hall monitors" trying to deplatform him. Tom Pappert (The Tennessee Star) joins me to break down the most explosive weekend in the history of the movement and what it means for the 2026 midterms. Then, we look at the other "war" happening this week: The war on reality. A new report exposes that the Census Bureau is refusing to count $1.4 trillion in welfare payments as income. If they did, the poverty rate would drop from 10% to 1%. We are bankrupting the nation to solve a problem that—statistically—doesn't exist. Plus, the "Lightning" has struck out. Ford officially killed the F-150 Lightning this week, taking a $19.5 billion write-down. Jon Miltimore is here to explain why the free market just delivered the ultimate rebuke to the Green New Deal. And finally... whatever happened to the office Christmas party? We look at why HR departments killed the "bacchanal" and why Gen Z is the only generation trying to bring it back. Today's Show: Monologue: The "Sanitized" Society. From Christmas parties to poverty stats, we are being fed a fake version of reality.

Professor Giordano reveals how millions of voters, especially younger Americans, are embracing socialism, only to be sold a lie that promises Scandinavian welfare but delivers Venezuelan control.  He breaks down how the Democratic Socialist platform calls for public ownership of industry, government control of major institutions, and the abolition of capitalism according to their own documents. This episode delivers a clear warning, a deep dive into the DSA and Green New Deal agenda, and why Republicans ignore this movement at their own peril. Episode Highlights A breakdown of why Democratic Socialism is rapidly expanding and why the victories of Mamdani and Wilson signal a national ideological shift. A detailed examination of the Democratic Socialist platform, including calls for government control of production, media, housing, education, and the abolition of capitalism. A compelling analysis of how America's cultural, economic, and educational decline created fertile ground for socialist ideology, and what conservatives must do to counter it.  

It's Monday, November 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists abducted 300 Catholic students and staff Muslim terrorists abducted 315 Catholic students and staff from St. Mary's School in the northern region of Nigeria on Friday, reports International Christian Concern.  Those kidnapped include 303 students and 12 teachers. It's one of the worst kidnappings in the nation's history, which has tragically become a flashpoint for persecution against Catholics and Protestants. No doubt many of them are echoing the prayer of Psalm 141:1-2 where David wrote, “I call to You, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like incense.” Back in 2014, Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group, seized 276 Chibok schoolgirls. In addition, the Islamic State West Africa Province and Fulani Muslim herdsmen have also wreaked havoc on the West African country. The Trump administration, which designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, has recently pressured the Nigerian government to do more to protect Catholics and Protestants. During the past 20 years, Nigerian Muslims have killed 50,000 Christians, displacing hundreds of thousands more. Shawn Wright, the new president of International Christian Concern, issued an urgent call to action. To the government of Nigeria, he called officials to: Deploy specialized rescue forces immediately and recover the abducted Christians without delay. Strengthen protection for Christian institutions. Address underlying persecution. And to the United States government, Shawn Wright called officials to: Immediately enact tougher economic sanctions against Nigeria. leverage assistance to Nigeria based on results. Support civil society and Christian groups in Nigeria. Use diplomatic influence there. Wright said, “When children are hauled from their dormitories, when …  teachers are terrorized, when entire communities live in the shadow of fear — silence is complicity.” Former Brazilian President arrested ahead of vigil to prevent escape Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday, hours before a vigil was to be held outside his residence, reports One America News. On Saturday, the former president's period of house arrest ended after having been confined since August for violating a ban on the use of social media. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, posted a video on Friday calling for a vigil in front of his father's condominium where Javier was under house arrest. Flavio said, “I invite you to fight with us.” Brazil's Supreme Court ruled that the planned vigil could “cause serious harm to public order,” and potentially prevent Bolsonaro from being arrested or enable his “escape.” Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that Bolsonaro violated his ankle monitor early Saturday morning. President Donald Trump, a long-term ally of Bolsonaro, denounced the charges against the former Brazilian leader as politically motivated, calling it a “witch hunt.” He imposed a 50% tariff on United States imports of Brazilian goods in response, which Trump began to roll back this month following a meeting with current President Luiz da Silva. Canadian pork producer objects to unlabeled lab-grown meat One of Canada's largest organic pork producers says the public deserves clear labelling, and a real choice before cloned meat hits supermarket shelves, reports Rebel News. Normally, experimental items like this fall under Canada's novel foods category, requiring a thorough pre-market safety assessment. This framework mandates that developers provide detailed data on production, contaminants, allergens, toxins, and nutrition. Health Canada reviews typically take about 410 days. However, Health Canada quietly released a statement on November 13th concluding, based on "all available information" and "scientific opinion," that foods from lab-grown clones of healthy cattle and swine are as safe as those from traditionally bred animals. This lab-grown meat has rightly been dubbed “franken-beef” like Frankenstein, the grotesque humanoid character, created in the imagination of Mary Shelley in 1818, who was put together using different body parts from fresh graves and vaults of skeletal remains. Health Canada has innocuously labeled the lab-grown meat as “cellular agriculture.” Proverbs 12:22 says, “The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Tamara Ugolini of Rebel News offered this warning to Canadians. UGOLINI: “Health Canada has decided there's no meaningful difference between lab-grown, cloned meat and real life grown meat. So, no labels, no warnings, and, once again, no transparency from the agency allegedly dedicated to regulatory openness and transparency.” Vincent Breton, a legitimate live pork producer, said, “Consumers should have the right to decide for themselves whether they are going to buy genetically modified foods.” Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress after clash with Trump Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Make America Great Again firebrand who rose to prominence as a combative supporter of President Donald Trump, announced late Friday she is resigning from Congress after a public feud with him, reports Politico.com. Greene, who was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district, made the surprise announcement in an 11-minute video address. She cited her willingness to oppose the Democratic agenda which was costly on a personal level. GREENE: “I have fought against Democrats' damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly, unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women. With that has brought years of non-stop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that most people could never withstand even for a single day.” She also noted the handful of differences she had with President Trump. GREENE: “I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas, like my stance against H-1B replacing American jobs, AI state moratoriums, debt-for-life-50-year-mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Other than that, my voting record has been solidly with my party and the president. “Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interests because our job title is literally Representative.'” Congresswoman Greene highlighted her disagreement with President Trump over the Epstein files. GREENE: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.” She did not want to go through a bruising Republican primary in the spring. GREENE: “I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President that we all fought for, only to fight and win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms, and, in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.” That's what led to her surprise resignation announcement. GREENE: “I'll be resigning from office, with my last day being January, 5, 2026.” Stray mutt gets award for comforting families after school shooting And finally, a stray mutt that turned into a service dog, soothing kids after a school shooting, has just been crowned the 2025 Hero Dog Award by the American Humane Society, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Sgt. Bo, the mixed breed from Nashville, Tennessee, may have started as a stray, but after being rescued off the streets of Florida in 2022, and trained for 12 weeks by prisoners in Brevard County, the four-year-old mutt became a certified therapy dog with the Nashville Police Department. Just three months into his service with Officer Faye Okert, tragedy struck when a transgender killed three students and three teachers at the city's Covenant School. Sgt. Bo was called to help comfort children and families at the reunification site—climbing onto buses, letting shaken students rest against him, and staying until the last family left. Since then, he has continued visiting schools across the community, helping kids open up, easing anxiety, and reminding everyone that healing can come from the most unexpected places.

MERCY: “Seize the day for Jesus Christ.”

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with that fateful visit Saikat took to The Mission. He and friends worked a lot, but didn't have a lot of money (sound familiar?). To learn The City and have some fun, they signed up for as many walking tours as they could find. After a few months living in Park Merced, Saikat relocated to The Mission—16th and Hoff, specifically. Esta Noche was nearby, and it's where he saw his first drag show. A buddy worked with Saikat to build a web wireframing tool (think the basics of web design, the skeleton of sites, so to speak). They knew some other folks in tech, naturally, and met the people who were launching Stripe, an e-payments then in startup mode. Stripe eventually hired Saikat and his friend. Saikat was the fledgling company's second engineer. He started to see tech as a force for social good, but that didn't really jell well with the work he did for Stripe. And so he quit a couple years in. The woman he was dating at the time (whom he later married) still lived in New York, and Saikat visited as often as he could. He didn't yet consider himself political, but he was thinking about issues, specifically income inequality, poverty, and climate change. In early 2015, Bernie Sanders announced his run for president in the 2016 election. Saikat hadn't heard of Sanders at that point, but he was addressing those very issues that had become important to Saikat. He signed up to be a Bernie volunteer and started on a sub-Reddit called "Coders for Sanders." But Saikat wanted "in" in. And so he got in touch with someone working on the campaign. That someone was Zack Exley, whose political biography runs deep. Exley's job with the Sanders campaign at the time Saikat got in touch was to organize all the volunteers wanting to work for Bernie but who didn't live in the first four primary states (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina). That effort needed tech solutions, which Saikat brought. But they weren't hiring technologists at the time. Still, Exley "snuck" him on as an organizer. He expected the experience not to be a big deal. He'd work for about a year, maybe learn a thing or two. But the Bernie 2016 campaign had other ideas. "We were on the brink of actually doing these big, structural changes," he says of his time on the campaign. Coming out of that experience, he and other organizers decided to take what they had learned and start applying it to folks running for Congress, starting with the 2018 midterms. Initially, they called their effort "Brand-New Congress," and the goal was to recruit 400 people nationwide to run for office. They fell far short of that ambition, managing to get around a dozen folks to run. They wanted people from all walks of life, not just lawyers, which Congress was and is made up of primarily. And they got that, just not on the scale they had hoped. The group became Justice Democrats, which is still in existence today. They didn't have the money to spend heavily on most of their candidates, so they went all-in on someone named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez out of The Bronx. Her brother had nominated her as part of Brand-New Congress, and Saikat had gotten to know her through the process. He saw early on what a powerful candidate she was. He moved to NYC to help run AOC's first bid for Congress as a co-campaign manager. She won, of course, and Saikat had a front-row seat for AOC's ascendancy to the national stage. He says she was her authentic self through it all. Saikat helped start a think tank coming out of the Sanders campaign as well, developing many policy positions and ideas, among them what came to be known as the Green New Deal. It was a policy platform as much as anything else. It called for a renewed and very much intensified effort to combat climate change while also creating and upgrading infrastructure. They approached every candidate running for president in 2020 asking them to sign on to a Green New Deal pledge. They all eventually did. (Biden's "Build Back Better" platform was essentially a version of the Green New Deal.) Around this same time, Saikat had signed on to be AOC's chief of staff. But Ocasio-Cortez wanted him to be her insider-type guy (I bring up Veep because, well, duh), and Saikat politely refused. He offered to help her staff up and get good people in place instead. By April 2019, having got the Green New Deal launched, so to speak, he let her know that he'd be leaving that summer, around the time his daughter was expected. That September, Saikat moved back to San Francisco. One of the first things he did was rejoin think tanks and work on filling out gaps in the Green New Deal. The pandemic hit and he dug his heels in on policy. By the time the 2024 election approached, they were ready to hand something to Kamala Harris if she were to win. Obviously, that didn't happen. He believed those who warned that a Trump victory had bad implications for democracy. But then he watched his own rep in DC, Nancy Pelosi, shrug the 2024 loss off in a "You win some, you lose some" way. He launched his campaign for that seat in Congress "by tweet" in February 2025. Turning from the national to the local, I ask Saikat what San Francisco issues are top of mind for him. He starts with the idea of meeting with and listening to San Franciscans, his would-be constituents: town halls, office hours, mass Zoom meetings … he's already doing a lot of that work. Saikat believes that to begin to effectively address issues at the local level—ICE kidnappings, healthcare, housing, transit—big changes are needed nationally. The California primary election takes place on June 2, 2026. The candidates who come in first and second place in that election will go on to compete in the Midterm election next November.

Which industries should cease to exist immediately? And what ‘bullshit jobs' should they take with them? In episode 143 of Overthink, Ellie and David explore the academic and social movement of ‘Degrowth.' They discuss the imperial mode of living that has become normalized in the Global North, explain how it relates to the ‘iron law' of capitalism, and detail how the degrowth movement seeks to build a communist future. In particular, they explore the pillars Kohei Saito's degrowth communism. Why are degrowth scholars such as Saito so critical of the Green New Deal? Was Karl Marx himself a ‘degrower'? And what exactly does it mean to degrow the economy? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts continue their discussion of the pillars of degrowth, thinking about the benefits abandoning the current division of labor and shortening work hours.

Become a paid subscriber to our newsletter/podcast, The Climate Weekly, to help support this show! It's fun. All the cool kids are doing it! First, the conversation was centered on The Green New Deal. Then, Build Back Better, which turned into the Inflation Reduction Act. It was passed. A few years later, major climate provisions in the bill were repealed. It was fairly popular, but mostly unknown to the average American. So what have we learned? Is it possible to advance major climate policy in America? Our guests today say yes. And they have a new, comprehensive, ambitious plan at the core of their argument. Joining us is Saikat Chakrabarti, co-founder and president of New Consensus and candidate for Congress in the Democratic primary against Nancy Pelosi. Previously, he worked on the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, co-founded Justice Democrats, and was the campaign manager and then Chief of Staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez where he led the effort to draft and release the Green New Deal. We're also joined by Zack Exley, co-founder and the executive director of New Consensus. Previously, he co-founded Justice Democrats, led the national distributed organizing team on Bernie Sander's 2016 presidential campaign. and helped shape the U.S. Green New Deal. Zack also spearheaded online small-dollar fundraising at MoveOn.org and worked on the Howard Dean and John Kerry campaigns in 2004. In this episode we explore why ambitious policy aims are so critical to the moment, what it means for democracy, how it will combat high electricity bills, and the lessons learned from the Green New Deal. Their plan is Mission For America, which focuses heavily on climate policy to organize a massive plan to grow jobs and lower prices.

Democrats have pushed some of the most brazen political scandals in modern history—from the Russia collusion hoax, to burying the Hunter Biden laptop, to hiding President Biden's cognitive decline—all in the name of stopping Trump. Victor Davis Hanson exposes how the Left has undermined democracy in the very process of claiming to defend it on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “  The problem, James Carville and Democrats, is that you have sabotaged democracy. And you've done things that no one has ever done before to an oppositional candidate, presidential transition, and president. And now you're furious because you're on the 40% side of every issue that's dear to you—from the trans issue to the border issue, to the crime issue, to the Green New Deal issue, to foreign policy. And you have no political power. You don't have the White House, you don't have the Congress, you don't have the Supreme Court. And your institutional power—the media, academia, the foundation—they are under assault.”

If you've ever wondered why the economy feels stuck, even when it seems like there's a lot more money in the system, this episode will blow your mind. Political economist Ann Pettifor joins Nick and Goldy to explain why money isn't flowing like it used to, and why that matters. Over the last century, the velocity of money (how quickly a dollar circulates) has plummeted. Today, each dollar in circulation generates up to 70% less economic activity than it did just ten years ago, so it's not being circulated through the local economies, growing wages, and building small businesses with each transaction. Instead, new dollars are just frozen in place.  The culprit? Excess money sitting at the top—hoarded by the wealthy and corporations instead of getting spent. Pettifor shows that taxing the rich isn't just fair—it's pro-growth. Redistribution accelerates the velocity of money, unleashing demand, expanding markets, creating jobs, and ultimately boosting prosperity for everyone. If you're ready to reclaim the economy from its top-down chokehold, this back-to-basics episode isn't optional—it's essential. Ann Pettifor is a British political economist, author, and Director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME). Known for correctly predicting the 2008 financial crisis, her work spans sovereign debt, macroeconomics, and sustainable development. She's the author of The Production of Money and The Case for the Green New Deal, and directs groundbreaking research that puts money creation and equitable growth at the center of economic policy.
