Why was there almost no emphasis on "church growth" before the 1970s, and how does the fixation on it for the last 40 years correspond with the American economy? Skye talks with Andrew Root about his new book, "Baal and the Gods of More," about the link between the modern church growth movement and ancient pagan fertility gods. A new report by Ryan Burge says that for decades those who left the church were turned off by partisan politics and the religious right, but that trend might be changing. Also this week, Brazil blames its poor performance in the World Cup on evangelicals, European evangelicals issue a statement, and an old theory about early Christianity and psychedelic mushrooms is back.   Holy Post Plus: Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://holypost.substack.com/p/730-the-idolatry-of-church-growth?r=35kf51&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true   Bonus Interview with Andrew Root: https://holypost.substack.com/p/why-churches-cant-stop-chasing-growth?r=35kf51&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true   0:00 - Show Starts   4:07 - Theme Song   4:30 - Sponsor - AG1 - Heavily researched, thoroughly purity-tested, and filled with stuff you need.

Get on the waitlist for our next cohort: ► Capitalism.com Bootcamp: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp I sat down with Djamel, the co-founder of Organifi, who grew a superfoods brand from $1 million to $100 million in about four years. We break down exactly how it happened: a premium, high-margin product, affiliates paid 75% commissions when the rest of the industry paid 5%, customer data poured into Facebook ads, and the team and systems that turned a scrappy launch into a nine-figure business. None of this was an accident. It was manufactured, and you get the whole playbook.

Democratic socialism is gaining influence across America, but how did it move from the political fringe into the mainstream? Professor Jeffrey Lax joins The P.A.S. Report to expose the forces driving the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), anti-Americanism, and the growing battle over America's future. As the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) expand their influence and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reshapes the political conversation, many Americans are asking how these ideas gained so much traction. CUNY Professor Jeffrey Lax joins Professor Nick Giordano for an in-depth discussion on the transformation of higher education, immigration, assimilation, constitutional government, and why many political leaders continue to underestimate this growing movement. From the collapse of economic literacy in the education system and the debate over capitalism versus socialism to the spread of anti-American ideology, this episode examines the cultural, political, and institutional changes fueling one of the most consequential political shifts affecting America's future. The conversation also explores the growing influence of the DSA, the constitutional challenges facing the United States, and why civic education remains essential to preserving a free society. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Progressive Mainstream: How democratic socialism moved from a fringe movement into America's political institutions. The DSA's Growing Influence: Why the Democratic Socialists of America continue expanding their footprint in major American cities. The Failure of Education: How higher education, faculty unions, and declining civic education shape modern political ideology and weaken economic literacy. Immigration, Assimilation & National Identity: Why immigration policy, cultural assimilation, and national identity remain central to America's future. Defending the Constitution: Why capitalism, constitutional government, and civic education remain essential to preserving American liberty. Topics Covered: Democratic Socialism, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Zohran Mamdani, Jeffrey Lax, CUNY Professor, Socialism vs Capitalism, Higher Education, Civic Education, US Constitution, Anti-Americanism, Immigration, Assimilation, Ro Khanna, Israel, Iron Dome, Economic Literacy, Faculty Unions

We live in times of crisis. But perhaps none of the crises affect so many people in the here and now, as the housing crisis. Solving it could provide the skeleton key to unlocking so many of society's problems. Despite this, decades of successive governments in the UK have failed to bring housing under control. The social contract which told us that if we worked hard all our lives, we can own a home and be secure in retirement, has been completely broken. To discuss the crisis in Britain and beyond, Aaron Bastani sat down with Peter Apps. He is an award-winning journalist who knows the field of housing – its failures and its potential fixes – better than almost anyone. He wrote an article about the threat of flammable cladding a month before Grenfell caught fire. How has housing policy shaped Britain in the last 50 years? Who did more to damage the housing system, Labour or the Tories? Is more housing supply always the solution? And why is no one talking about the crisis facing our ageing population, one million of whom will be in housing insecurity and poverty by 2030?

Da, suntem în recesiune tehnică: două trimestre la rând de scădere economică. Iar dacă vă întrebați cât mai avem până la junk, răspunsul lui Claudiu e incomod: dobânzile României sunt deja similare sau mai mari decât ale unor țări care sunt deja la junk. Investitorii mari nu așteaptă verdictul agențiilor de rating, își fac propria analiză. Iar dobânda reflectă cel mai sincer riscul perceput, pentru că cei care cumpără titluri de stat nu sunt proști. Cifrele pe care i le-am pus pe masă: inflație de 10,8% anual în mai 2026, servicii +13,5%, nealimentare +12,5%, alimente +6,8%. În același timp, salariul mediu net a scăzut cu 95 de lei față de martie, până la 5.843 de lei. Prețurile cresc double digit, veniturile scad. Concret, vom munci cu toții vreo 40 de zile în plus anul ăsta doar ca să cumpărăm aceleași lucruri ca anul trecut. IGDLCC înseamnă Informații Gratis despre Lucruri care Costă! Totul ne costă dar mai ales timpul așa că am făcut această serie pentru a mă informa și educa alături de invitați din domeniile mele de interes. Te invit alături de mine în această călătorie. Mi-am propus să mă facă mai informat și mai adaptat la schimbările care vin. Sper să o facă și pentru tine.

Chuck Todd opens with a story that seems small and turns out to be a perfect miniature of everything wrong with this Pentagon: a Blue Angels flyover at Pensacola Beach came in too low, the pilot who made the honest mistake felt terrible about it — and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, without bothering to establish a single fact about what happened, seized the moment to gloat and own the libs. Chuck calls Hegseth an absolute clown and a fake soldier, argues the incident is a window into a Pentagon where the boss cares more about winning an online argument than about the safety of the people he commands, and where the entire "military testosterone" discourse — Hegseth's fixation on creating "supertrooper" fighting men is both dumb and genuinely dangerous. His verdict: a great American military culture is being actively degraded. He extends the same argument to ICE, where the violence has been entirely predictable — the officer involved in the latest shooting had enormous red flags in his background, and the agency appears to have no meaningful vetting process at all. He also explains why, contrary to much of the commentary, he wasn't alarmed by Trump's primetime election-denial address: it was a nothingburger. Trump has no evidence, which is why he keeps turning to cranks — his endorsement of Mike Lindell tells you everything — and there's no policy response attached to his own foreign-interference allegations, since China has faced no sanction whatsoever for what Trump claims it did. He argues American elections are extraordinarily hard to overturn precisely because the system is decentralized, that Trump is too lazy to become a Putin or a Mao… A more disciplined president would frighten Chuck far more. Chuck sees a forever war taking shape in Iran: the strategy amounts to throwing kinetic weight at the problem and hoping the regime collapses, while Iran fights the asymmetric war it always planned, targeting Gulf states and now civilian survival infrastructure — hitting desalination plants could trigger a crisis lasting years — and nobody in Washington actually knows how to win. He closes with a genuinely important profile of Undersecretary Elbridge Colby, the intellectual architect of the new right's foreign policy and a favorite of JD Vance, whose vision of American retreat from its allies would effectively be the policy of a President Vance: Colby has trashed Mark Carney's "middle power" strategy and declared that no country is entitled to the American defense industry — which, notes, misses that buying military hardware is a 30-year bet on trusting an ally, and middle powers who conclude they can be coerced by Washington will simply take their money somewhere else. Quick hits on a messy Wisconsin governor's race (Tony Evers built no infrastructure and left no obvious heir in one of the country's most misunderstood swing states) and Tuesday's Arizona primary round things out. Then, bestselling novelist Daniel Silva — creator of the Gabriel Allon series — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a conversation that starts with the craft of spy fiction and quickly becomes something closer to a threat assessment. Silva's newest plot turns on drones, and he's blunt that this isn't speculative: he believes it's a matter of time before a drone carries out an assassination or a mass-casualty attack. He talks about the strange responsibility of writing a fictional event that could plausibly happen next month, why he deliberately withholds visual detail so readers build the scene themselves, and what he learned reporting out how modern kidnappings and ransom negotiations actually work. The darker current running underneath is his read on American intelligence: the FBI is no longer the same place, the U.S. is jettisoning allies and hollowing out its agencies, and Silva poses the question a novelist is uniquely positioned to ask — if you're the GRU right now, where would you most want an asset placed? He notes that the best assets often don't know they're assets, that NATO held a crisis meeting about Trump, and that this is precisely the moment to be putting the screws to a vulnerable Putin, since Ukraine has victory in sight and isn't desperate for any deal. The conversation turns personal when Chuck asks how Silva handles Israel's collapsing global reputation in a series built around an Israeli intelligence officer. Silva says the shift was entirely foreseeable, that he has no interest in writing about Gaza, and that what saddens him most is the "fortress Israel" mindset — a country founded on European-style socialist ideals now convinced it can go it alone, siloed from the world, while antisemitism surges globally in a way he warns only ever needs the right set of circumstances to reignite. He and Chuck range across the forces reshaping the century: giant corporations approaching the power of nation-states, a new generation of the ultra-wealthy who simply don't believe in philanthropy, AI's capacity to wipe out the knowledge economy, and Silva's conviction that the next great political crisis may be a climate-driven natural disaster — noting that the last major El Niño produced famines that killed millions, that today's migration patterns are already climate-driven, and that people are dying right now as a direct result of cutting humanitarian aid. He's unsparing on writing and AI), amused and appalled that Trump has turned the National Mall into a mess with a reflecting pool gone "Kermit green," and closes on the question every prolific novelist gets asked and rarely answers honestly: does he ever actually rest? Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to draw parallels between the arguments in modern American politics to the argument between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev in the infamous “kitchen debate” and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Chuck Todd opens with a story that seems small and turns out to be a perfect miniature of everything wrong with this Pentagon: a Blue Angels flyover at Pensacola Beach came in too low, the pilot who made the honest mistake felt terrible about it — and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, without bothering to establish a single fact about what happened, seized the moment to gloat and own the libs. Chuck calls Hegseth an absolute clown and a fake soldier, argues the incident is a window into a Pentagon where the boss cares more about winning an online argument than about the safety of the people he commands, and where the entire "military testosterone" discourse — Hegseth's fixation on creating "supertrooper" fighting men is both dumb and genuinely dangerous. His verdict: a great American military culture is being actively degraded. He extends the same argument to ICE, where the violence has been entirely predictable — the officer involved in the latest shooting had enormous red flags in his background, and the agency appears to have no meaningful vetting process at all. He also explains why, contrary to much of the commentary, he wasn't alarmed by Trump's primetime election-denial address: it was a nothingburger. Trump has no evidence, which is why he keeps turning to cranks — his endorsement of Mike Lindell tells you everything — and there's no policy response attached to his own foreign-interference allegations, since China has faced no sanction whatsoever for what Trump claims it did. He argues American elections are extraordinarily hard to overturn precisely because the system is decentralized, that Trump is too lazy to become a Putin or a Mao… A more disciplined president would frighten Chuck far more. Chuck sees a forever war taking shape in Iran: the strategy amounts to throwing kinetic weight at the problem and hoping the regime collapses, while Iran fights the asymmetric war it always planned, targeting Gulf states and now civilian survival infrastructure — hitting desalination plants could trigger a crisis lasting years — and nobody in Washington actually knows how to win. He closes with a genuinely important profile of Undersecretary Elbridge Colby, the intellectual architect of the new right's foreign policy and a favorite of JD Vance, whose vision of American retreat from its allies would effectively be the policy of a President Vance: Colby has trashed Mark Carney's "middle power" strategy and declared that no country is entitled to the American defense industry — which, notes, misses that buying military hardware is a 30-year bet on trusting an ally, and middle powers who conclude they can be coerced by Washington will simply take their money somewhere else. Quick hits on a messy Wisconsin governor's race (Tony Evers built no infrastructure and left no obvious heir in one of the country's most misunderstood swing states) and Tuesday's Arizona primary round things out. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to draw parallels between the arguments in modern American politics to the argument between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev in the infamous “kitchen debate” and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Along the way, Yaron explores why bad ideas—not personalities—pose the greatest threat to freedom, why socialism continues to attract younger generations, whether AI will transform work for the better, and why today's political movements increasingly reject the principles that made America prosperous.The discussion also examines reproductive technology, euthanasia, the ethics of genetic engineering, and answers live audience questions on victimhood culture, Russia and Georgia, the Falkland Islands, immigration, and the future of Objectivism.Whether you agree or disagree with JD Vance, this episode asks the deeper question: Can a society remain free when it replaces reason with faith and individualism with collective morality?Watch, comment, and join the debate below.

What if the money in your account is not the same thing as real wealth? That's where this conversation starts. Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Paul Musson, former professional investor, founder of the Paulitical Economy blog, and author of Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense. After decades inside the investment world, Paul began studying economics more deeply after seeing how the housing bubble, the financial crisis, and policy decisions reshaped the relationship between money, capital, and everyday people's ability to build wealth. They talk about the difference between money and capital, how inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, and why rising asset prices do not always mean real wealth is being created. Dr. Felecia asks the practical questions many listeners may be wondering: What does it mean when money is "devalued"? Why does a Treasury investment look safe but still lose purchasing power? Does lowering interest rates really make housing more affordable? And what does building capital look like for people who are working, saving, investing, and trying to create options? This conversation is about understanding the economy in plain language so women can ask better questions, protect their future, and build wealth that is actually real. 00:00 – Understanding Money, Wealth, and the Economy 02:58 – When Paul Realized the System Was the Problem 07:04 – Capital vs. Money 09:15 – How Money Creation Reduces Purchasing Power 12:07 – Government Spending, Consumption, and Investment 15:30 – Financial Repression and Devalued Dollars 18:17 – Why Getting the Same Dollars Back Can Still Mean Losing Value 22:00 – Be Free and Do No Harm 28:11 – How Asset Prices Transfer Wealth 35:25 – Why Lower Mortgage Rates Do Not Always Mean Affordable Housing 38:44 – When a House Becomes "the Investment" 44:08 – Paul Musson's Book " Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense." 49:14 – What Building Capital Looks Like for Everyday Investors 55:12 – Cash Flow vs. Appreciation in Real Estate 57:58 – Wealth Inequality and the Stock Market 59:41 – Capitalism vs. Interference With Capitalism 01:04:00 – Why People Deserve Clear Explanations   You've worked hard to build your career.

The rules were never designed to make everyone equally powerful.In this episode of High Level Conversations, 19Keys sits down with Dr. Boyce Watkins for an unfiltered discussion about economics, ownership, education, artificial intelligence, politics, family infrastructure, Black business, and the systems required to create real freedom.The conversation begins with a critical question: What matters more in the age of AI—credentials, experience, mastery, or the ability to build your own system?From there, they break down the difference between earning money and controlling an economy, why community leaders must have sustainable business models, what it truly means to be pro-Black, and why Black wealth cannot grow without intentional investment, mentorship, protection networks, family offices, and institution-building.They also examine:Why criticism and cancellation are unavoidable when your work has real impact.Why Black men remain one of the most under-mentored groups in America.How billionaires, celebrities, and athletes should think about community responsibility.Why investing in Black businesses is more powerful than treating the community like a charity case.Whether artificial intelligence and technology stocks are experiencing a bubble.How to invest during economic uncertainty without gambling on hype.Why systems create powerful individuals—not the other way around.How families can build banks, investment structures, and generational leverage.Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, political independence, reparations, and voting power.Why economic strength requires strategy, negotiation, coordination, and the willingness to think much bigger.This conversation challenges the idea that freedom will come from being accepted by existing institutions. It presents another pathway: understand the system, study how power operates, build your own infrastructure, and position the next generation to thrive instead of merely survive.WHY YOU SHOULD WATCHThis episode is for entrepreneurs, investors, parents, educators, community builders, creators, and leaders who want to understand the deeper relationship between money and power.You will learn:The difference between income, ownership, influence, and economic control.How to protect your mission from criticism, censorship, and outside interference.Why mentorship and sponsorship can change the trajectory of Black men.How family offices and family banks preserve wealth across generations.How to approach AI, technology, stocks, and long-term investing intelligently.Why political power must be negotiated before support is given.How communities can transform influence into infrastructure and economic force.BUILD YOUR NETWORK, COMMUNITY, AND DIGITAL ECONOMYVisit ZIION.IOFREE AI AND INCOME WEBINARFor access to the free webinar from 19Keys about artificial intelligence and using AI to create income, join the free webinar inside the Black Business School by visiting:19keys.com/bbsEPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Economics Is Warfare02:00 — Credentials, Artificial Intelligence and the Meaning of Mastery10:00 — Turning Your Greatest Weakness Into a Strength15:00 — Truth, Activism and the Cost of Going Against the Grain18:00 — Can Black America Still Build Economic Sovereignty?25:00 — Understanding Power, Criticism and Opposition28:00 — Separating Constructive Criticism From Distraction32:00 — “You Can't Cancel a Soldier”36:00 — Why Community Empowerment Needs a Sustainable Business Model40:00 — What Does Being Pro-Black Actually Mean?42:00 — Health, Wealth and Relationships52:00 — Systemic Racism and Systems Thinking54:00 — Manufacturing Black Privilege Through Ownership56:00 — Why Black Men Are Severely Under-Mentored01:00:00 — Building Mentorship, Sponsorship and Protection Networks01:07:00 — Black Unity, Michael Jordan and Intentional Employment01:08:00 — Do Black Billionaires Owe the Community?01:14:00 — Family Offices and Who Controls Black Wealth01:17:00 — Investment Versus Charity01:22:00 — Investing in Black AI, Technology and Venture Capital01:23:00 — Stop Thinking Small: Building Billion-Dollar Ideas01:27:00 — Creating Independent Media and Economic Systems01:29:00 — Why Real Power Moves Strategically01:31:00 — Economics Is Warfare: Prepare to Be Attacked01:32:00 — Building Outside the Matrix With ZIION01:39:00 — The Hidden History of Black Coalitions and Nation-Building01:43:00 — Is Artificial Intelligence an Economic Bubble?01:46:00 — How to Invest During Market Uncertainty01:49:00 — Elon Musk, Key-Man Risk and Technology Empires01:51:00 — Powerful Individuals Are Products of Powerful Systems01:54:00 — Quantum Computing and Undervalued Future Technologies01:59:00 — What Could the Next 10 to 20 Years Look Like?02:04:00 — Healthcare, Capitalism and the Incentive to Manage Disease02:09:00 — Money, Ethics and Financial Consciousness02:14:00 — Family Banks, Infrastructure and Generational Capital02:18:00 — Why Schools Teach Employment Instead of Ownership02:20:00 — Turning Your Family Name Into an Institution02:23:00 — Self-Worth, Asset Value and Building Your Own Name02:25:00 — The MAGA Question02:28:00 — Studying Power Without Worshipping Powerful People02:30:00 — How to Give Your Children a Financial Head Start02:37:00 — Stop Depending on Systems That Were Not Built for You02:43:00 — Power, Competition and Self-Preservation02:45:00 — Reparations, Negotiation and Leverage02:48:00 — Putting the Black Vote in Escrow02:50:00 — The New Political Classes02:55:00 — Leaders, Impact and Building Economic Infrastructure02:57:00 — Final Words and Closinghttps://youtu.be/_RBftcP3Gng Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/19keys/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

After a productive first 100 days after returning to office, President Trump has since hit a rough patch – stubborn inflation (despite an otherwise powerhouse economy), an unpopular war with Iran, setbacks at the Supreme Court, plus growing dissent among congressional Republicans as his party faces the distinct possibility of losing one or both chambers of Congress in November. Has the ever-impulsive, risk-taking Trump lost his political Midas touch, or is he simply yet another president befuddled by a second-term jinx (not to mention a disgruntled electorate)? If Trump is sorely in need of a “win”, will it come on the domestic front or abroad (spoiler alert: look to Cuba)? After that, the fellows discuss whether it was fair play for the American president to intervene in World Cup officiating and the International Olympic Committee to allow Russian athlete to compete for Mother Russia in the 2028 Games, if the war in Ukraine is anywhere close to a tipping point, whether futbol is in fact an expression of socialist convictions (or so New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani believes), and the policy smarts (or a lack thereof) of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' call for a sovereign wealth on AI companies' stock and how those firms should be addressing the industry's image problem (the fellows playfully disagreeing on using AI to cheat on schoolwork).  Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

Lindsey Graham is dead, Iran is escalating again, and Washington's war machine is already searching for its next mission. Then a socialist YouTube comment gives us the perfect case against blaming free markets for government-created failures. Nate and Charlie examine Lindsey Graham's interventionist foreign-policy legacy, Donald Trump's account of their final phone call, and the renewed conflict surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. They also wrestle with the uncomfortable morality of feeling relieved when a powerful politician you strongly opposed is no longer in office. The second half breaks down capitalism, cronyism, housing regulations, healthcare bureaucracy, insurance markets, grocery pricing, monetary policy, and the Federal Reserve. Are Americans suffering from too much free-market capitalism, or from a government-controlled economy that protects incumbents and restricts competition?

While calls to "abolish ICE" have exploded during the second Trump presidency, critics have been calling out the threats the agency poses to immigrants, US citizens, and democracy itself since it was created just over 20 years ago. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host and former political prisoner Mansa Musa speaks with author and immigrant justice organizer Harsha Walia about the origins of ICE and what it will take to abolish it and the new American police state.Guests:Harsha Walia is the award-winning author of Undoing Border Imperialism and Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism. She has been involved in community-based grassroots migrant justice, feminist, anti-racist, abolitionist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movements for over two decades, including No One Is Illegal, Defenders of the Land, and the DTES Women's Memorial March Committee.Credits:Producer / Videographer / Editor: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

The idea of a wealth tax has never been more popular in Britain, and while many have campaigned for it, none have done more to boost the demand than one man: Gary Stevenson. The former city trader first joined us on Downstream four years ago. A lot has changed since then. This week, after a bruising round of media including attacks from Piers Morgan and the Guardian, Gary sat down to give his side of the story to Novara Media's Aaron Bastani. What are the fair critiques of a wealth tax, and how does Gary engage with them? What would he say to Andy Burnham? What does he think needs to be done to keep out Farage and Reform? And do the recent spate of attacks in the media show that Gary's actually winning the argument?

This week on the Mark Levin Show, look at Zohran Mamdani, who has contributed nothing substantial to America. Mamdani's anti-American speech was a string of Marxist propaganda slogans about trillionaires amid hunger, monopolies and oligarchs, wealth created by laborers' hard hands yet held by special interests' soft hands, and supremacy for a select few instead of equality. People don't care about the identities or backgrounds of those who produce goods and services, they only want quality and value. Capitalism is the least racist, oligarchical, and discriminatory system. Later, there's no reason to sell 100 F-35's to Turkey. Erdogan is a national-socialist Islamist, a brutal dictator, key backer of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, and a completely unreliable member of NATO. He threatened to destroy Israel the other day, and the administration not only said nothing but went ahead with the F-35 and jet engine sales and will lift all sanctions against Turkey, and we are doing so while lavishly praising Erdogan. This is troubling and it will have to be dealt with by future American administrations for decades to come. It was absolutely unnecessary. Meanwhile, we praise Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey while criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and pushing him to make all kinds of concessions to Hamas and Hezbollah. Also, the Democrat Party and its Senate leadership endorsed, and backed Graham Platner despite multiple red flags, including allegations of physically abusing a woman, a Nazi concentration camp guard tattoo he claimed ignorance of, offensive Reddit posts, and mockery of wounded military veterans. None of these crossed a line for them. But Sen Bernie Sanders and a line of Democrats have finally urged him to exit the race, after he was accused of rape – but he hasn't left the race yet. Also, the Iranian regime sank three crude oil tankers and fired ballistic missiles at U.S. bases. In response, President Trump ordered powerful strikes on Iran and vowing to hit back every time Iran strikes. We saw this coming. The MOU didn't last because the regime can't be trusted. We never should have put conditions on our military - they should have been allowed from the start to go in and take this regime out. Now we need to keep up military and economic pressure until this regime caves. Furthermore, the Democrat Party has developed a significant Israel and Jewish problem in roughly three years. It has rebranded itself as the champion of civil rights and liberties, though it actually promotes Marxist and socialist economic agendas—such as healthcare, schooling, and housing for all—framed as civil rights. Democrats now frequently run on anti-AIPAC, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and anti-Semitic platforms, with many being Islamists or Marxists, and little pushback from party leadership. Rahm Emanuel, a failed Chicago mayor who wants to run for President, subtly condemns Israel to court the radicals while claiming broader American support. But it's unlikely his Presidential aspirations will succeed because he's Jewish in a party with a Jewish problem. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
