Patrick Bet-David and Rita Panahi debate whether Islamism or communism poses the bigger threat to Western civilization. They discuss ideological alliances, cultural influence in institutions, and how political systems like Australia's compulsory voting shape modern democracies.

The Democratic Party shift did not happen overnight. The Democratic Party shift was the result of a decades-long ideological capture. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the dramatic transformation of the Democratic Party. From the common-sense Clinton-era positions on border security and national sovereignty to today's Democratic Socialist influence, this episode exposes how the party shifted from mainstream policies to an activist-driven agenda. Heading into the 2026 midterms, this episode analyzes the Three Pillars of the modern Democratic strategy: Anti-Trump mobilization, government expansion, and identity politics. It also examines the Texas Senate primary and the rise of figures like James Talarico to illustrate how far the political goalposts have moved. What You'll Learn: The Clinton vs. Talarico Contrast: Why 90s Democrats sound like conservatives by today's standards. The DSA Takeover: How the Democratic Socialists of America moved from the fringe to the center of Democratic Party power. Biological Reality vs. Rhetoric: How the Texas Senate race reflects the party's continued shift toward radical identity politics. The 2026 Midterm Warning: Why Republican complacency and rising gas prices from the Iran conflict could create a "perfect storm" for the Left. Governing vs. Grievance: Why bigger government became a substitute for solving actual American problems.

Welcome back, loves!The male gaze didn't begin with film, it was already centuries old by the time cameras appeared. In this episode, I trace how powerful patrons, religious institutions and elite collectors shaped beauty standards through the paintings they commissioned. From reclining Venuses to carefully staged portraits, these images didn't just depict women, they trained viewers how to look at them. But when women finally entered the art world and began painting themselves and each other, the visual language started to shift.By the end of the episode, you may never look at a painting, a movie scene, or even your own camera roll quite the same way again.Are.

In this episode, Buck Johnson sits down with author Michael W. Davis, general editor of the Union of Orthodox Journalists, for a serious discussion about Christian Zionism, theology, and geopolitics. Over the last century, Christian Zionism has become an influential framework shaping how many Christians understand the modern state of Israel, biblical prophecy, and the politics of the Middle East. But how does this theology compare with the faith of the early Church and the witness of the Church Fathers? Drawing on Scripture, Church history, and Orthodox theology, Buck and Michael explore the origins of Christian Zionism, its relationship to modern political movements, and the ways in which eschatology can shape political imagination. They also discuss how prophetic language surrounding modern conflicts — including tensions involving Israel and Iran — can influence how Christians interpret war, peace, and the responsibilities of the Church in a fractured world. Rather than approaching these issues through ideology or partisanship, this conversation seeks to recover the historic Christian vision of the Kingdom of God, which transcends nationalism, geopolitics, and modern political categories.

A key precondition for democracy is civic trust and commitment to common goods; polarization and party identity undermine this, worsened by modern communication technologies that enable separate realities. Josiah Ober is a professor of Political Science and Classics at Stanford University and also the author and co-author of several books about Athens, Civics, and Ancient Democracy. His latest title is The Civic Bargain: How Democracy Survives.  Greg asks Josiah about his work linking ancient Athens to modern democracy and organizational design. Josiah argues that political science necessarily blends positive and normative theory, joining rational self-interest with ethical reasoning to secure both stability and the good. He also compares firms and states as purposeful organizations governed by rules, incentives, and norms, noting that democracies struggle to scale but can outperform hierarchies by aggregating dispersed knowledge if institutions align incentives and citizens share information. Josiah emphasizes civics as teachable skills—listening, bargaining, and positive-sum compromise. He makes an appeal for renewed civics education informed by history and classical thinkers, including a rehabilitated view of the sophists and strategic reasoning. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Why democracies know more than hierarchies 14:58: The democratic system, intrinsically, knows more than a highly hierarchical boss centered system, simply because those who see themselves as citizens have reason to share what they know. Those who are subjects have reasons to not share what they know. Therefore, it is possible for a democracy for reasons that, you know, Friedrich Hayek talked about in terms of why markets work, because all of that information comes together in, you know, producing a price, it is possible for well-structured democracies to bring in a great deal of information. From a great deal of people who have very different experiences, know different things, to solve the problems that they need to solve. Does democracy only work when the design is right? 15:45: You have to have the right kind of organization, not only of, sort of voting and so on, but of incentives for people to bring what they know to the right place at the right time, not to the wrong place at the wrong time. And that is hard to do. You get it right and you get this tremendous success. You get it wrong and it does not work very well.  Politics should work like buying a car 32:22: When we go into the political regime space nowadays, it's that, well, compromise is bad now. We gave up, they won. The imagination now of politics is something like a football game in which there's a winner and a loser, and the winners cheer and the losers cry. But that's not what politics is. It is much more like buying a used car.

Send a textGod loves to be gracious and forgiving, but He is also just. He would rather rise up to show us compassion, he DELIGHTS in showing mercy, but if we will not receive that mercy and refuse to turn… Justice is on its way. A right perspective of God causes us to realize how truly amazing it is that He cares about each one of us, and cleanses us of all unrighteousness so we can approach His throne. And more than that: We get to call Him ABBA! Father. But also: Tremble in fear if you have chosen to ignore the good path He has laid out for our salvation.Chapter 10 is a perfect example of this contrast between mercy and justice.Contact and resources:Substack: https://joniscott11@substack.comInstagram Bio with Links: https://www.instagram.com/joni_scott.prayer/Facebook Page: Faith and FastingLinks to all the stuff:https://joniscott.my.canva.site/

Abby and Patrick welcome novelist and academic Jordy Rosenberg to discuss his brand-new novel, Night Night Fawn. Alternately hilarious and devasting, Night Night Fawn is written in the voice of Barbara Rosenberg, an embittered New York Jewish woman penning a deathbed memoir that documents her many disappointments and frustrations – with life, love, friendship, money, and, above all her trans son, whom she hallucinates as a large and ominous bird. Night Night Fawn is also incredibly overdetermined with respect to genre, representing an effort on Rosenberg's part to write from the perspective of a fictionalized version of his own mother. On yet another level, it's a sustained interrogation of the complex and painful interactions between material conditions and ideological systems, the forces that shape our experiences of family, class, religion, and ethnicity, and the specific histories of twentieth century American Jewishness as it relates to Zionism and the horrors of our twenty-first century present. In this wide-ranging conversation, Abby, Patrick, and Jordy discuss the social reproduction of bigotry; the relationship between ethnonationalism and the heteropatriarchal family form; the ethics and aesthetics of representation; the contemporary landscape of the political novel, and much, much more.Selected Works Cited:Jordy Rosenberg, Night Night Fawn: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/689017/night-night-fawn-by-jordy-rosenberg/ Rosenberg, Confessions of the Fox: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/556691/confessions-of-the-fox-by-jordy-rosenberg/Rosenberg, “Gender Trouble on Mother's Day”: https://avidly.org/2014/05/09/gender-trouble-on-mothers-day/Rosenberg, “The Daddy Dialectic”: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-daddy-dialectic/Sigmund Freud, “Mourning and Melancholia”Karl Marx, Capital, Vol ILeon Trotsky, “Literature and Revolution”Have you noticed that Freud is back?

On today's show, Calvin and Alex return to a grim and perennial topic in American politics: US military aggression against Iran. We look at the rhetoric of key political figures in the catastrophe currently unfolding in the Middle East, examining recent statements and audio clips from US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. We also look at the official justifications that the White House provided for the recent strikes.In our conversation, we examine the audio artifacts and official documents that surround the newly launched military campaign, which the administratioin is Reddit-ly calling "Operation Epic Fury." We talk about how the Trump administration is using justifications that function a lot like generative AI, in that their arguments seem to be a synthesized remix of past right-wing and neoconservative rhetorics offering very little of substance to clarify the situation. We also explore the dissociation of concepts, a rhetorical strategy defined by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca as a way to separate a current idea from negative past associations. The administration uses this strategy in an effort to distance the current conflict from Bush-era "endless wars," while maintaining those wars' bellicose premises. Furthermore, we track how the concept of "freedom" operates as an ideograph in administrative rhetoric. This term has historically been a potent political buzzword, but it increasingly seems to function as a brand identity rather than an actual measure of political capacity. Later, we look at how the mainstream Democratic leadership in Congress has responded with feckless and purely procedural objections, and we contrast these responses with the morally clear anti-war stances of progressive politicians, whose rhetorics prioritize human lives over abstract process complaints. Finally, we preview an upcoming discussion about the chilling intersection of artificial intelligence and foreign policy, focusing specifically on the recent partnership between OpenAI and the "Department of War”, enshrined on the eve of the current bombing campaign against Iran.

Iran War fallout is no longer theoretical. The risks are here. Sleeper cells, cyber attacks, and geopolitical consequences are now part of the national conversation. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, retired Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill breaks down the intelligence behind the Iran strike, the real domestic threat environment, and the high-risk geopolitical gamble unfolding in real time. This is a serious analysis of Iran's cyber capabilities, sleeper cell risks, constitutional concerns, and how China and Russia factor into the equation. The stakes are clear: if the operation succeeds, the global balance of power shifts. If it fails, American deterrence may collapse. What You'll Learn How the decapitation strike reshapes Iran's power structure The difference between a lone wolf attack and a true sleeper cell Why Iran's cyber warfare capabilities pose a real infrastructure threat How a weakened Iran impacts China, Russia, and the Middle East What failure would mean for American credibility and global stability This episode delivers strategic clarity on the Iran war, domestic preparedness, and the geopolitical consequences that could define the next decade.

Summary While the Great Hunger in Ireland remains one of the most documented tragedies of the nineteenth century, the story of what happened across the Irish Sea in the Scottish Highlands is often overlooked or romanticised. In this episode, we strip away the Hollywood imagery of baronial halls and tartan myths to look at the real experience of the Highland Potato Famine of 1846. We explore the “Geographic Trap” of the Highland Boundary Fault, the Coastal Squeeze of the Clearances, and the legal engineering of the 1845 Poor Law that left the starving with no right to relief. Using the latest research from Sir Tom Devine and Michael Lynch, we investigate the Empathy Gap between the absentee Landlords and the crofters clinging to the soil in the Western Isles. As the “Year of Railway Mania” gripped the England and the Lowlands of Scotland, a biological rot was creeping north. This is a story of how a system that prioritised economic efficiency over human survival turned a bad harvest into a national catastrophe.

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Morse discusses the cultural shift away from traditional Christian sexual ethics, the ideological underpinnings of the sexual revolution, and how elite agendas are shaping modern society. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics to protect the integrity of the family and children.

In this episode, hosts Courtney and Mecca talk with Dr. Sara Juengst about her bioarchaeological work in coastal Ecuador among the very early and early Gangala, including differing ideas of what it means to be a “body”, the sociocultural and subsistence roles of the ocean, and the benefits of combining paleopathological, mortuary, and stable isotopic analyses. Dr. Juengst is an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, NC, USA. As an anthropological bioarchaeologist, her research integrates social theory and skeletal evidence to address lived experiences of disease, diet, migration, and violence in the past and present.

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde unpacks the rise of "nihilistic" violence, where ideology can be thin, but the drive for notoriety, cruelty, and chaos is the point. How do online subcultures turn despair into a violent aesthetic? Why do these spaces sometimes overlap with accelerationist and neo-Nazi ecosystems without being the same thing? And what do documented cases suggest about a disturbing crime–terror convergence, including sextortion and coercion targeting young people? The episode closes with practical, prevention-focused takeaways, and how to cover these stories without amplifying propaganda or "how-to" harm.Quick question: when you buy something handmade, do you ever wonder who made it, and where your money really goes?

As reports confirm that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, Yonit is joined by Dr. Suzanne Maloney for a searching conversation about what this moment means for Iran and the wider Middle East. They examine Khamenei's worldview in the years leading up to his death, the ideological roots of the regime's hostility toward the West, and the deep divisions within Iranian society. The discussion turns to the question now confronting Tehran — who can succeed a figure so central to the system — and to the profound uncertainty facing Iran as it enters a post-Khamenei era with no clear path forward.   Chapters 00:00 The Legacy of Khamenei 02:54 Post-Khamenei Iran: What Lies Ahead? 05:42 The Future of the Islamic Republic 08:23 Regional Implications of Khamenei's Assassination 10:59 The Divided Iranian Society 13:58 Transitioning to a New Era   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Much has been said about Alvin Aragon — at oo, gumawa pa kami ng 3-part series sa The Sentinel Ph para himayin ang issue. Check it out after watching this video. Pero sa episode na ito, iba ang focus natin: paano hinandle ng media ang buong issue? May mga nagsasabi na wina-weaponize daw ang Christianity laban sa LGBTQ community. Pero tanong: posible rin bang ang media naman ang wine-weaponize para i-normalize ang LGBTQ ideology? Kung isa kang kabataan today na kumukuha lang ng impormasyon sa mainstream media at news sites — walang guidance ng magulang — malamang ang magiging conclusion mo: LGBT lifestyle = GOOD. Christianity = ARCHAIC. Matapos ang Alvin Aragon issue, sunod-sunod ang celebrity reactions. Pag-usapan natin ang mas malaking picture: Why is it na mas madalas ibalita ang trans representation sa beauty pageants, pero hindi ang mga kaso ng trans athletes dominating women's sports gaya ng nangyari kay Lia Thomas? Bakit hindi mas napag-uusapan ang mga policy debates sa Europe kung saan may pushback na sa gender ideology — tulad sa Hungary, Romania, Sweden, United Kingdom, at Finland? Agenda ba ito? O simpleng selective reporting lang? Kung gusto mo ng perspektibong hindi mo madalas marinig sa local mainstream media, make sure to subscribe, hit the notification bell, at i-share ang video na ito.

The US attack on another sovereign state Iran was reckless and based in ideology that is hypothetical. Trump asserted that the attack on Iran was preemptive to protect Americans because Iran wants to enrich Uranium to balance the power scales.But if truth be told US and Israel wants to maintain their advantage in the #middleeast and wants to be able to penetrate any country in the gulf and if Iran can enrich uranium it limits their US-Israel ability to control the region.Renaldo McKenzie is the author of Neoliberalism, Globalization Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and also Author of the upcoming book Neoliberal Globalization Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations.Visit us https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.com or https://store.theneoliberal.com.Follow on Twitter renaldomckenzie or Theneoliberalco abd Facebook: theneoliberalcorporation or renaldocmckenzie

In this week's podcast episode in the Nutrition After Breast Cancer: Just the Facts series, I bring up the study that sparked that concern. I don't ignore things like this. I don't pretend they don't exist. If there's research being talked about, I want you to know about it. But here are the actual facts. The study was done in mice. The mice were made to consume about 40% of their diet in olive oil. And the rest of their diet was an obesogenic, high-carbohydrate diet designed to promote weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. That is not a Mediterranean diet. That is not olive oil drizzled over vegetables and salmon. That is not real life. It was a laboratory model designed to stress metabolism. Context matters.

Modern Syria has seen violence, repression, and autocracy, suffering through tragedy after tragedy over the past century. Yet the history of Syria is not just a tale of dictators and generals. From the 1800s to the 2020s, the Syrian people have engaged in a passionate struggle for justice, equality, and a better future. Whether fighting for national independence from French colonial rule, battling local landowning elites to share the country's wealth, or rising up against the Assad regime, the Syrian people have fiercely clung to their right to live with respect and dignity. Theirs is a story of protest and perseverance in the long fight to reshape the political destiny of their nation. Daniel Neep's new book, A History of Modern Syria, offers a gripping narrative of how Syrians have navigated the events of the last two centuries. Never losing sight of the fates of ordinary people, it provides a comprehensive account of how a nation born in conflict sustained a rich, complex, and diverse society that after the fall of Assad will chart a new path into the uncertain future. Daniel Neep is Non-Resident Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University, and Senior Editor at Arab Center Washington DC. He has taught Middle East politics at George Washington University, Georgetown University, and the University of Exeter. He was previously Research Director (Syria) at the Council for British Research in the Levant and spent several years living in Syria and Jordan. He is also the author of Occupying Syria under the French Mandate: Insurgency, Space, and State Formation (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and articles in journals including International Affairs, Journal of Democracy, New Political Economy, and the Journal of Historical Sociology. Meet our discussant and chair Charles Tripp FBA is Professor Emeritus of Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. His research interests include the nature of autocracy, state and resistance in the Middle East, the politics of Islamic identities, and the role of art in the constitution of the political. He is currently working on a project on the politics of memory in Tunisia. Jasmine Gani is Assistant Professor in International Relations Theory at LSE. She specialises in anti-colonial theory and history, and the politics of empire, race and knowledge production.

Peoples & Things host, Lee Vinsel, and guest host, Paula Bialski, Associate Professor of Digital Sociology at University of St. Gallen, talk to Fred Turner, Harry and Norman Chandler Professor of Communication at Stanford University, about his classic 2006 book, _From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism_. They briefly explore the arc of Fred's career and revisit the book in the spirit of asking what has changed in digital ideology since the book's publication, including with the role of Silicon Valley elites in the second Trump Administration, Elon Musk's role in DOGE, and the (perhaps only brief) turn of digital technology elites moving from California to Texas. Since this conversation was recorded in April 2025, Fred's essay, “The Texan Ideology,” has been published in The Baffler: Link here. Learn more about your ad choices.

He has also authored several books, including his latest, “Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality and What to Do About It”. Then we had Pastor Leonard Tanks join us to share his freedom story and about disciple-making. Pastor Tanks is a pastor, apologist, and emerging theologian based in Cleveland, Ohio, where he serves as the pastor and church planter of Reach City Church.

Following the recent attacks on ICE facilities in Meridian and Boise, many are asking: what ideology fuels this kind of action—and how should Christians respond? In this episode, Pastor Doug addresses the dangerous ideas that can move from rhetoric to destruction, and why believers must think clearly when political anger turns into violence.This conversation isn't about partisanship—it's about principles. What happens when moral boundaries erode? How should Christians respond when public discourse escalates into attacks on institutions?

Philosopher and religion scholar Tad DeLay (author of Future of Denial) drops a guest essay on us this week, and it's a barn-burner. Tad brings together Wilhelm Reich, Walter Benjamin, Lacan, Althusser, and Adorno — yeah, the whole squad — to lay out a series of theses on how reactionary consciousness actually works, from repressed sexuality to theological cover stories for raw materialism. He makes the case that white evangelicalism is basically a half-century-old improvisation around whiteness and anticommunism, and that Trumpism is its perfected form — an ecumenical fascism where confessing the dear leader functions like a sinner's prayer. Along the way he unpacks Frank Wilhoit's devastating one-line definition of conservatism, explains why charging evangelicals with hypocrisy is a category error (they simply don't care what they believe), and uses Lacanian psychoanalysis to show how shame, guilt, and anxiety keep the whole machine running. Fair warning: Tad doesn't let liberals off the hook either — the essay's conclusion forces all of us to sit with the moral compromises we've made and what it means to keep breathing in hell. Tad DeLay, PhD is a philosopher, religion scholar, and interdisciplinary critical theorist. He has written four books, including his latest, Future of Denial: The Ideologies of Climate Change. He is a philosophy professor and lives in Grand Rapids. ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This Lenten class ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message?

By now, you've probably seen it: someone you follow making a joke about "maxxing" or getting "mogged" on your timeline. These terms come from a terminally online subculture spun off of the so-called "manosphere" known as "looksmaxxing." It's hyper-focused on the shallowest dimension of masculinity: physical appearance.Clavicular, the subculture's breakout star, has been popping up everywhere lately, including in The New York Times. But most of this discourse has overlooked the toxic roots of "looksmaxxing" and the misogynist ideology at its core.This week, researcher Annie Kelly joins Jared and Mike to help fill that gap.

This week's scoop is going to be short and sweet, like our assistant! First off, from Tea and StickybunsGate, to IsraelGate. Yes you heard that right. You'll have to watch this week's show where Phelim explains how the Troubles in Northern Ireland, police officers drinking tea, Irish Soccer and Israel,are connected. And it all started in 1995. And the stickybuns?… Well, they are a delicious mystery to unwrap during the show. And speaking of Ireland being the most anti-Semitic country in Europe, there is still a need for our verbatim play, OCTOBER 7. Just a few weeks ago it was performed at the Trump Kennedy Center to critical acclaim.As The Federalist said: "OCTOBER 7 offered something rare: moral clarity without instruction, faith without propaganda, and testimony without shame.”Watch this week's episode where we bring you the full story of bringing the truth to DC.

Then they compounded the insult for covering for the trans Rhode Island shooter who also killed members of his family. We expose the history of violence by transgenders that the media try to coverup by twisting and mutilating the English language. How far back do we go?
