In this conversation, Kelsi Sheren discusses the recent terrorist attack in Australia, emphasizing the implications of cultural assimilation and the dangers posed by extremist ideologies. She critiques the response of Western societies to terrorism and the media's portrayal of such events, calling for stronger immigration policies and a reevaluation of how these ideologies are addressed. Sheren argues that the current empathetic approach is leading to increased violence and that a more aggressive stance is necessary to protect Western values and communities.00:00 The Unfolding Tragedy in Australia03:02 Cultural Assimilation and Its Consequences05:53 The Role of Ideology in Violence09:01 The Response of Western Society12:07 The Need for Action Against Terrorism14:54 Understanding the Roots of Hatred17:53 The Future of Western Ideology21:03 Concluding Thoughts on Terrorism and Society - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSubstack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

In this episode, Adam Louis Klein explains why anti-Zionism is not simply criticism of Israel, but a modern ideological movement shaping campus activism, academia, and contemporary antisemitism.We explore how anti-Jewish hatred has evolved across history—from medieval anti-Judaism, to 19th-century racial antisemitism, to today's anti-Zionism as a full-scale social and moral ideology. Adam argues that many debates within the Jewish community are fundamentally misframed, and that treating anti-Zionism as “just criticism of Israel” obscures its real function: stigmatization, moral inversion, and social coercion.This episode examines:Why the question “Is anti-Zionism antisemitism?” misses the pointAnti-Zionism as an ideology with its own genealogy, language, and tacticsHow Holocaust inversion, apartheid rhetoric, and settler-colonial frameworks function as modern libelsWhy traditional Jewish advocacy strategies fail against anti-Zionist movementsThe role of academia, post-colonial theory, and activist scholarship in mainstreaming these narrativesWhy anti-Zionism cannot be debated like a good-faith political position—and how to respond insteadThe psychological and sociological pressures leading some Jews to internalize anti-Zionist claimsHow Palestinian suffering is often exploited rather than alleviated by anti-Zionist ideologyRather than defending Israel point-by-point, this conversation makes the case for turning the lens outward—analyzing anti-Zionism itself as a historical, ideological, and moral phenomenon.This episode is essential listening for anyone grappling with campus activism, media narratives, Jewish identity, or the future of Jewish advocacy in the West.Timestamps / Chapters00:00 – What anti-Zionism actually is07:30 – Why “Is anti-Zionism antisemitism?” is the wrong question14:00 – Anti-Zionism as ideology, not debate23:40 – Holocaust inversion & modern libels35:00 – Academia, settler-colonial theory, and ideological capture44:30 – Why traditional Jewish advocacy fails55:00 – Internal Jewish conflict & moral confusion#israel #palestine #rabbi #jewishidentity #jewishthought

I am an academic in education, who had experienced an activist environment within the university, and in sports, and who saw that the psychological support for the student was fragmented and replaced with the ulterior motives of disorganized teachers. Curriculum that is bound in woke political activism destroys the natural development and security of the student. When the rights of the student are secondary to the activism of poorly developed adults, entire cultures become broken.

On this episode, Alina Utrata talks to Olivier Jutel, a lecturer at the University of Otago and an expert in cyberlibertarianism. They discuss the ideology of many technology industry elites and the strange political ideas permeating through Silicon Valley. What makes these Sand Hill Road venture capitalists different from the East Coast banking establishment? Why are they imagining a world of venture capitalists in miniature? How does this relate to the Network State treatisie? Can you really “exit” or “LARP” a country into existence?

Send us a textThis is from the book titled: Idea and Ideology. There are 11 chapters to the book, and this is the reading of the 5th chapter titled - Kosa.Baba explains how consciousness expresses itself through layers of mind, from the crudest physical experience to the subtlest causal awareness. Baba describes five kośas—kámamaya, manomaya, atimánasa, vijiṋánamaya, and hirańmaya—which represent increasing levels of subtlety in how the mind interacts with the world. Our perceptions depend on the health and coordination of the senses, nerves, mind, and ego, and errors in any of these lead to distorted understanding. Through sádhaná, the unit mind gradually transcends the crude and subtle layers, realizing that its causal mind is not separate from the Cosmic Mind. Ultimately, this teaching shows that individual consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness are not different in essence—only in degree of expression.The following link is a chart of the Kosas and Lokas: https://sureshemre.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/layers-of-the-mind-kosha-and-loka/Support the show

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com is raw, unscripted, and emotionally charged as John Rush confronts some of the country's toughest cultural and moral questions. What happens when heated rhetoric spills into real-world violence? Who is responsible when words fuel hatred—and where should the line be drawn? John tackles antisemitism head-on, calling out bigotry wherever it appears. He urges listeners to look beyond politics to examine belief systems, accountability, and moral consistency. Can society condemn violence while excusing the ideology behind it? And why is it acceptable to target one group while fiercely defending others? The hour also turns to media influence and political leadership, with John offering blunt analysis on how public figures should respond in moments of tragedy—and how missteps can deepen division. Refusing partisan blinders, he holds everyone to the same standard of decency, timing, and restraint. Fast-paced, passionate, and unapologetic, Hour 1 sets a serious tone and urges listeners to question their assumptions, engage in respectful dialogue, and take action toward fostering understanding beyond the headlines. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason blends hard truths with practical insight as John Rush welcomes Dr. Josh McConkey, MD, (https://www.weightbehindthespear.com/home) a board-certified emergency physician who practices in both the U.S. and Australia. Drawing on firsthand medical experience, Dr. McConkie breaks down the mental-health dangers of teen social media use, the fallout from Australia's controversial youth ban, and why parental responsibility—not government mandates—may be the real solution. What warning signs should parents never ignore? And are bans even enforceable in a digital world? The hour then pivots to listener calls and cultural analysis, as John confronts antisemitism within political movements, warning that internal division and ideological blind spots could fracture the conservative coalition itself. To close the hour, John is joined by his son Richard Rush for a high-energy sports and auto segment. They break down the Broncos' shifting playoff outlook and major NFL storylines, then finish with a Drive Radio car review of the 2026 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S, exploring its mild-hybrid boost, luxury feel, and real-world drivability. Serious, fast-moving, and unexpectedly fun—Hour 2 keeps listeners thinking until the last minute. HOUR 3 Hour 3 dives headfirst into some of the most controversial and consequential issues shaping America right now. John Rush is joined by Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is a Habit (https://courageisahabit.org), who unpacks a deeply troubling report that exposes how activist ideology is being embedded in schools through “mental health” programs. How are school counselors being transformed from academic guides into ideological enforcers—and why do most parents never see it happening? The hour then opens to passionate listener calls as John confronts antisemitism, moral consistency, and the line between faith and hatred. What separates principled belief from dangerous ideology? And why does celebrating violence—even against political enemies—cross a line that should never be crossed? John also connects the dots between policy decisions and real-world consequences, spotlighting how hostile business climates drive major employers away, costing cities jobs and investment. The discussion widens to global economic warning signs, including cracks in China's luxury market, before closing with a sobering look at infrastructure vulnerability and potential power shutoffs along Colorado's Front Range. Fast-moving, intense, and unfiltered, Hour 3 challenges listeners to question narratives, examine consequences, and think beyond the headlines.

In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia return to the mic after a brief hiatus, with Nadia deep in the "finals hole" of her semester. They dive into a viral national news story involving a student at the University of Oklahoma who received a zero on a psychology paper, sparking a heated debate about academic standards, freedom of speech, and religious discrimination.Nadia breaks down the controversy: a student wrote a reaction paper arguing that gender norms are God's plan and that deviating from them is harmful, rather than using the empirical evidence required by the assignment. The professor contended that the paper failed to answer the prompt, relied on personal ideology over science, and was offensive to a group of people. The situation escalated when the student mobilized conservative groups, leading to the graduate instructor being placed on administrative leave.The conversation shifts to the broader implications of this event. Alyssa expresses frustration at how political polarization creates a "constant state of attack," comparing the national mood to crossing a freeway with cars coming at you rather than relaxing on a beach. They discuss the physical toll of this division, with Alyssa noting the conversation actually gave her a "sour tummy".They also explore the concept of "echo chambers." Nadia reflects on how social media algorithms reinforce our existing beliefs, making it shocking when we encounter extreme opposing views in real life. The episode concludes with a coping strategy for navigating a divided world: instead of trying to fix the massive global problems, Alyssa advocates for focusing on being a good human to the small circle of people immediately around you.TakeawaysUsing personal religious ideology to argue against empirical evidence in a scientific setting is not "best practice" and can lead to academic failureSocial media "echo chambers" can blind us to how differently other people in the country think and livePolitical polarization puts many people in a constant state of "fight or flight," similar to the stress of dodging trafficViral outrage can have real-world consequences, such as an instructor being placed on administrative leaveWhen a problem feels too big to fix, the best approach is often to focus on spreading positivity within your own small circleEven well-intentioned debates about social issues can cause physical symptoms of stressAcademic prompts usually require answering specific questions, not just writing an op-ed on personal beliefs Chapters0:10–0:39 – Intro: Back from Hiatus and Finals Week Stress0:40–2:15 – The Viral Story: 0/25 on a Psychology Paper4:20–6:32 – The Professor's Feedback: Empirical Evidence vs. Ideology 6:33–7:56 – The Aftermath: Instructor on Administrative Leave 7:57–9:31 – Analyzing the Quality of the Writing 9:32–11:04 – The Human Cost of Political Polarization 11:05–13:31 – Living in Echo Chambers and Cultural Division13:32–16:03 – The "Freeway" Analogy: Living in a Constant State of Stress 16:04–18:47 – Social Media Propaganda and Finding "Your People" 18:48–20:08 – Alyssa's Solution: Focus on Your Small Circle20:09–20:50 – Looking Ahead: Nadia's Final Year of College

PREVIEW: Western Leadership Fails to Address Radical Ideology: Colleague Bill Roggio criticizes Western leadership for failing to address the foundational radical ideology spawning groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, contending that politicians avoid this core issue by focusing on political finger-pointing and side topics, ignoring the networks that continue to promote extremist violence globally. 1909 ARABIAN DESERT

Send us a textGUEST: PASTOR DARRELL HARRISON, Co-Host, Just Thinking PodcastFive times each day the Muslim call to prayer sounds from mosques in Minneapolis. One might expect this in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Iran, but in the United States, a nation that was founded and operated on distinctly Christian principles? The founders likely made the assumption that our nation would be and remain Christian, as early immigrants came from Christian European nations. They probably thought future Americans wouldn't be so foolish as to welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslims.But those with an unbiblical worldview of secular and religious humanism have taken power and hold to the spirit of Babel—that uniting all religions and peoples together will make us good and united. That will not work with Islam and its mission to dominate the world. Europe has puts its very existence at risk in bringing millions of Muslims into its nations and towns and now America is doing the same in Minneapolis, Dearborn, MI, New York City, and elsewhere.Darrell Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor at Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) and the co-host of the popular Just Thinking Podcast, joins us to explain how Islam is less a religion but rather a political ideology of domination and how Christians should respond.----------------------Program Notes:Just Thinking PodcastRedeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ)Manger in Danger - ON SALE - $30!  Order by Dec 16 for Christmas DeliveryYear-End Support of The Christian Worldview

Send us a textThis is from the book titled: Idea and Ideology. There are 11 chapters to the book, and this is the reading of the 4th chapter titled - Mind, Práńendriya and Vrtti.Baba explains that the mind is made of three parts and comes from the same substance as the Cosmic Mind. Práṇendriya is the vital energy system that controls the flow of perception — when it's calm, we perceive clearly; when it's restless, the mind becomes dull. Vṛttis are the mind's tendencies and emotions, and humans have 1,000 of them. Through meditation and prāṇāyāma, we learn to quiet práṇa and master the vṛttis, moving toward higher consciousness and liberation. 

As the Door County Housing Partnership nears the completion of its seventh home, board members Scott Bader and Mariah Goode join Myles Dannhausen Jr. to talk about the long road to putting people in homes and the long-tail impact on the community. But for Bader and Goode, the project is also an example of how people from different ends of the political spectrum can put politics aside to address community problems.

Eskom's talks with Glencore point to a new path for SA industry — but ideology still threatens growth. I unpack what it means for your money.

Headlines move fast, but the root struggle rarely changes: what ideas shape our lives, our families, and our country. We follow a clear thread—from Minnesota's funding controversy to Churchill's warnings about Nazism to FDR's 1933 Christmas Eve fireside chat—to ask a hard question: do we evaluate people by ethnicity and origin, or by the ideology they carry and promote? That choice frames everything else, from policy to culture to how we raise our kids.We read from 1 Corinthians on marital fidelity and self-giving, then turn to Revelation's vision of justice and Psalm 143's cry from the depths. These passages aren't abstract; they show how private virtue sustains public courage. Proverbs adds a civic edge with small, wise creatures that model foresight, order, and presence—a reminder that strength without wisdom collapses. Along the way, we honor William S. Bond's Medal of Honor service, because history's courage steadies today's resolve.FDR's Christmas message anchors the conversation in hope and Scripture. He quotes the promise that nations should not learn war forever, a line many now miss because biblical literacy has faded. Benjamin Franklin's accounts of Scripture-saturated speech in early America reveal how a common text once set boundaries for power and protected freedom. When people know the words, leaders can't easily bend them. When that knowledge fades, new creeds slip in under familiar language.Our through-line is simple and urgent: ideology decides direction. If we abandon the principles of Christ—justice, mercy, humility, courage—we leave a vacuum that corrosive systems rush to fill. Rebuild literacy. Teach truth to children. Evaluate policies by dignity, not marketing. Support communities that pray, debate, and act with moral clarity.

In a world where Israel is headline news every day, most people are trying to interpret events through a fog of bias, misinformation, and instant reaction culture.  We sat down with longtime Jerusalem-based journalist Nicole Jansezian to ask a simple question that's not simple at all:  How do we know what's actually true?  What unfolded was an inside look at the fractured media landscape inside Israel and the ideological forces shaping the region. Nicole helps us slow down and understand why the Middle East defies the easy categories most Westerners reach for.  Israel's political divisions don't map onto America's left-right spectrum. Palestinian society is not monolithic. And both sides live with historic, cultural, and religious dynamics that rarely show up in the headlines.  When we oversimplify, we miss the deeper story - and the deeper human reality. This conversation is for anyone who wants discernment in an age of propaganda. We explore why speed has replaced accuracy, why influencers often outrun truth, and why we need a long view shaped by Scripture, not by algorithms.  For Christians seeking to understand Israel, this isn't just geopolitics - it's about returning to the story God has been telling since Genesis and learning to see the world the way He sees it. Key Takeaways Israel's internal political spectrum is far more complex than the American left–right divide. Headlines often frame events without context, leading to widespread misunderstanding. Influencer-driven “news” prioritizes speed and virality over verification. Propaganda is not always overt; sometimes it's subtle, soft influence that shapes perception. Ideology - religious, historic, territorial - drives Middle Eastern decisions more than economics. The media environment inside Israel is deeply divided, with competing narratives shaping public opinion. Christians must pursue discernment by slowing down, asking better questions, and grounding their understanding in Scripture.

This week, I speak with my AEI colleague, Sally Satel, a practicing psychiatrist and lecturer at the Yale University School of Medicine, about the rapid ideological transformation inside American medicine. Satel explains how medical associations shifted from clinical excellence toward activist missions, how flawed research, such as the now-debunked study claiming that black infant mortality could be halved if more black doctors cared for black newborns, shaped public debate, and how public-health leaders undermined public trust during the Covid pandemic.Please listen in on a great discussion or read the transcript here on our website, available at the top of the page.

In today's show, I sit down with Dr Peter McCullough for a deep, revelatory conversation about the ideology of vaccination, the collapse of institutional trust, and the spiritual dimension behind our culture's faith in technocratic authority. We talk through the history he uncovers in his new book, the religious motifs baked into modern public-health messaging, the psychological and political mechanisms that kept dissent suppressed, and the new evidence forcing major institutions to quietly revise long-held claims. It's a discussion about truth, power, and awakening — and how ordinary people can reclaim moral and intellectual sovereignty in an age of manufactured consensus.   Buy Dr Peter McCullough's excellent new book 'Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality' - https://bit.ly/McCulloughBook ENTER THE REBORN GIVEAWAY — I've partnered with Reborn for a massive giveaway where you can win a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 plus $10,000 cash.

There is no doubt in my mind that we, as a nation (and, across the world) are facing a moral confusion if not a complete moral crisis. And, unless righteous, bold men step up to the plate, we'll continue to see the moral decay of everything we love from our favorite institutions, to our families, and our neighborhoods, and even the threat of losing this great nation. That isn't hyperbole. Today, I am joined by John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poet Society and former Army Ranger to discuss what we as men can do about it. We talk about mercy and justice (and, how to satisfy both), why we should hate injustice, the dangers of communism and socialism, why we must unite behind Truth (with a capital T), why "happiness" is inferior to "joy," and why we should pursue peace if possible but truth at all costs. 00:00 - Introduction & Catching Up 01:20 - Why John Wrote "The Lions of Mercer" 03:49 - Justice, Fiction, and Catharsis 07:15 - The Cry for Justice 08:07 - Modern Culture and Victimhood 08:51 - Loving the Good vs. Hating the Evil 11:44 - Redemption, Failure, and Public Dogpiling 13:01 - Loyalty, Forgiveness, and Standing by Brothers 16:14 - What Is "The Good"? 18:27 - Justice, Mercy, and the Role of Christ 20:15 - Judgement, Hypocrisy, and Accountability 23:07 - Integrity and Personal Alignment 24:39 - Happiness vs. Joy 26:39 - Teaching Discipline and Long-Term Thinking 27:03 - You Can Only Replicate Who You Are 28:22 - Wrestling With Faith and Christianity 29:02 - The Dangers of Atheism & Moral Relativism 31:05 - America's Moral Foundation 32:42 - Who Decides Morality? 34:12 - Rise of Socialism & Cultural Rejection 35:38 - New York, Ideology, and Consequences 36:36 - Unity vs. Compromise 38:41 - What Makes Someone American? 39:58 - Parenting, Boyhood, and Raising Men 40:45 - Why Boyhood Resurrected Was Written 42:38 - Risk, Adventure, and Rite of Passage 46:14 - Finding Balance in Parenting 47:09 - Trust, Risk, and Leadership in Marriage 51:27 - Why Should Your Wife Trust You? 52:21 - Leadership, Submission, and Marriage Dynamics 55:49 - Biblical Structure for Marriage 59:04 - Loving Leadership and Wise Authority 01:00:54 - Closing Thoughts & Transition to IC Segment 01:01:15 - Where to Find John Lovell 01:02:13 - Q&A Teaser Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

[00:30] Tucker Carlson's Attempt to Extract the Jews From Judeo-Christian Values (40 minutes) It was long said that America and Western civilization were founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic. Now there is an attempt to remove the “Judeo” from that equation. Is that possible? [40:00] Abrahamic Promises (15 minutes) Two great promises were made to the patriarch Abraham. Later, those promises were split between two sons of Israel: Joseph and Judah. Are these promises still in effect today?

THROWBACK Where do our political ideologies come from? What are their origins? Should our Christian faith influence our politics? Let's discuss... Don't @ us. Original Publish date: 2018-12-16 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You have an ideology whether you know it or not. Not political. We're not going there. I'm talking about your personal rulebook. The boundaries you set. The values you stand for. Who you actually are when nobody's watching. If you haven't decided who you are, the world will decide for you. They'll tell you who you're going to be and that's how you'll get treated. I created something years ago called a Who I Am document. It's my operating manual. My personal constitution. It establishes what I believe and serves as my foundation for growth and change. Featured Story A client went political in the first 30 seconds of our group coaching call. What's a guy to do when that happens? I let it go for about 30 seconds then closed it off. But by the end of the call, something became clear. She's so stuck in who she thinks she is that she won't listen to anybody else. I don't understand that concept. I know who I am. I have my own values. But I'm open to just about anything. You have a better way to lose weight than mine? I'm not going to defend my way. I'll listen and take yours if it works better. That's the difference between knowing who you are and being stuck in who you think you are. Important Points If you don't decide who you are, the world decides for you and that determines how you get treated every single day. Your personal ideology is your rulebook for life including how you see yourself, how you respond to situations, and who you hang out with. Writing a Who I Am document forces you to be honest about who you really are, not who you think you are or want to be. Memorable Quotes "If you haven't decided what you're all about, then everybody else is just going to decide what you're all about and that's how you're going to get treated." "You hang out with somebody that doesn't share your values? You're compromising. You're now becoming them." "You can't be a grown ass adult if you don't know who you are, can you?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Document who you really are by writing down how you see yourself, how others see you, and how you'd like to be seen. Define your non-negotiables including the values people must share to be in your life and how you respond in different situations. Track yourself daily to discover who you really are versus who you think you are because the answers will surprise you. Chapter Notes 1:05 - Personal ideology: it's about you not politics 1:56 - Do you really know who you are? 3:04 - Ideology defined: what you stand for in the world 4:05 - Creating my Who I Am document years ago 5:03 - Three questions that reveal everything about you 7:12 - Who you hang out with defines who you become 8:43 - Daily awareness diary tracks the real you Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://DailyBoostPodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

PREVIEW Autocrats Versus Democrats: The Rise of Illiberal Ideologies Professor Michael McFaul Professor Michael McFaul discusses the growing global appeal of autocrat models, including Putinism's illiberal populist nationalism in Europe and the state-run economic model favored by China in the developing world. He notes that bureaucracy and veto points stifle growth and cause inefficiency in the U.S. Although democracy remains popular, its appeal is less potent than it was thirty years ago.

CONTINUED 8/8 Michael McFaul's book Autocrats Versus Democrats argues that Putinism is driven by anti-Western ideology, making Putin a risk-taker, and McFaul believes the US erred by lacking a robust response and failing to provide arms after the 2014 Crimea invasion, stressing that helping Ukraine win is essential to inspire Russian democrats.... 1917
