What happens to religion if humanity discovers we're not alone in the universe? This week, Frank and Dan explore one of the biggest theological questions imaginable: aliens. Would Christianity survive first contact? Would extraterrestrials need their own Jesus? Could they arrive with a religion more advanced than our own? Along the way, we also discuss an Iranian singer punished for performing without a hijab, RFK Jr.'s push for faith-based addiction treatment, anti-Muslim opposition to a new Islamic center in New Mexico, Christian nationalism, and a bizarre fight over Bible verses on MLB Pride hats.

Rupert Lowe reveals the origin of the 250,000 UK grooming gang victims figure, and confirms it is a conservative estimate that is likely much higher. In this powerful segment, Lowe explains why authorities hide behind the term “Asian grooming gangs,” the specific cultural and religious motivations driving the targeting of white British girls, and direct quotes from the report citing Islamic justifications for the abuse. He breaks down why these crimes would result in execution in Pakistan, yet flourish in the UK due to police failures, fear of racism accusations, and institutional cover-ups.

June 25th, 2026 - We welcome back Nicholas Cavazos to discuss an Islamic community center raising money to convert Chicago's closed Our Lady of Victory Church into the city's first Islamic high school on the North Side. Then, we welcome Dr. Ralph Martin to evaluate whether we are ready for the coming judgment. Links, Show Notes & More - https://thestationofthecross.com/act Email Us! ACT@TheStationOfTheCross.com

This episode of the Carl Jackson Show is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state of our nation and the world. The host dives into a shocking report from the UK that reveals the extent of the grooming gang scandal, where over 250,000 young girls were sexually abused by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. The report highlights the catastrophic institutional failure that enabled these crimes for decades, with the government turning a blind eye and even destroying evidence. The host also discusses the resignation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is accused of letting 13,000 suspected Muslim rapists and pedophiles off with warning letters when he was Director of Public Prosecutions. The host questions how someone like Starmer can claim to be a champion of justice and equality while allowing such atrocities to occur. The conversation also touches on the dangers of woke ideology and its impact on our society, including the censorship of free speech and the erosion of our values. The host also shares a powerful testimony from an Iranian-American woman who escaped Sharia law and warns about the dangers of Islamic extremism in the West. Her words are a stark reminder of the importance of protecting our freedom and way of life. If you're concerned about the direction of our country and the world, you won't want to miss this episode of the Carl Jackson Show.

When Marjane Satrapi died earlier this month, we lost an acclaimed graphic novelist and filmmaker … and a voice that explored Iranian society in a wholly unique way. You might know Marjane from her celebrated graphic memoirs Persepolis and Persepolis II. They're about her experience growing up in an unconventional household during Iran's Islamic revolution, and the screen adaptation was nominated for an Academy Award. This week, we're revisiting Eleanor Wachtel's 2011 conversation with Marjane about her book Chicken with Plums. They spoke about Marjane's relationship to her home country, how her family influences her work and appreciating the beauty of life's small moments.Check out the rest of the Writers & Company archive: https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/writers-company Check us out on Instagram @cbcbooks and TikTok @cbcbooks

Submit media fails you see, and get facts, links, images and more at TheyStandCorrected.substack.com. Join the fight for truth by becoming a Founding Member. Looking at the disastrous coverage of the Iran deal, Josh asks, “What imaginary mental world is the media living in? It’s as though the whole thing boils down to just gas prices, the Strait of Hormuz,  maybe a mention of Iran’s nuclear threat, and of course, imaginary big, bad Israel having a magic ability to force the U.S. into a war.” Today, Josh lays out the reality. Iran presents the greatest current threat to humanity, and the Islamic regime is conducting global efforts in the effort to control as much of the world as possible. The real story involves so much shaping the world and the lives of Americans, he explains. It’s about drugs, immigration, assassination plots on U.S. soil, Islamist terrorist attacks, threats to U.S. water supplies, the safety of U.S. children’s hospitals, other shipping channels like the Panama Canal and the Red Sea, genocidal attacks on Christians, and the the safety of the world’s largest democracy (which isn't the U.S.). All this and more are wrapped up in what seems to be a disastrous capitulation to Tehran. And if this deal is as bad as it seems to be, that would be totally unsurprising given the reality of Trump’s history. Then, Josh tackles a story the media is hiding altogether: The Rape Gang Inquiry, a big new report on the systemic, horrific rape of young girls across the United Kingdom. The government has long turned a blind eye to it because acknowledging it was deemed “racist” and “Islamophobic.” A man was even jailed for talking about it. The media is a big part of the problem.  Plus, a trip to LA, JOMO, and Josh's appearance on the Unapologetically Jewish podcast in conversation with host Shana Meyerson.  Links, images, videos and more at theystandcorrected.substack.com  Share thoughts and questions through the newsletter or the form at joshlevs.com Support: ☕BuyMeACoffee.com/joshlevs

The woke right of Podcastistan just love themselves some Russian propaganda sprinkled with a heavy dose of drooling over the Islamic dictatorship of Qatar. Plus, Democrats are going to really regret nominating Christianity-hating James Talarico.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Yeganeh Torbati, the Iran correspondent for the New York Times, discusses her excellent new book Stolen Revolution: Betrayal and Hope in Modern Iran. Yeganeh explains how: The 1979 revolution promised justice but created clerical authoritarianism. Islamic law was subordinated to preservation of the supreme leader. Institutions created to help the poor became engines of economic corruption. The IRGC became a military-economic oligarchy. Khatami-era reformism failed by refusing to challenge the constitutional source of authoritarian power. Ahmadinejad promised to overthrow corrupt elites but merely installed new ones. Rouhani promised economic normalization but enabled even greater corruption. The destruction of all sources of organized opposition left protesters exposed to overwhelming violence. Foreign powers encouraged expectations they did not possess the strategy or commitment to fulfil. Iranian society continues to resist socially and culturally, making the future unstable rather than settled.

It's Tuesday, June 23rd, A.D. 2026. 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Pray for Leah Sharibu's release in Nigeria Eight years after 14-year-old Leah Sharibu was kidnapped by Islamic extremists, along with 109 others from a girls' school in Nigeria's Yobe State on February 19, 2018, she is the only remaining captive. Evangelical Focus reports that Leah, now age 22, refused her captors' demands to deny Christ and convert to Islam in order to be released after the attack by Islamic State West Africa Province on the Government Girls' Science and Technical College in Dapchi. Most of the other kidnapped girls have been released, with some dying in captivity. Leah's parents, Nathan and Rebecca Sharibu, said that she has chosen to remain true to Christ at great cost. In their words: “For this courage, she has endured unimaginable hardship in the wilderness. Reports from those who escaped speak of forced marriage, repeated trauma, childbirths in captivity, and the constant shadow of sexual violence used as a weapon of war and control.” Please pray for Leah's freedom from captivity. Brazilian homeschoolers sentenced to 50 days in prison Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi have been sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. The Christian parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect” because the judge said their program failed to include lessons on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”  The Denardis are appealing their case to a higher court. The mother told Alliance Defending Freedom, “As a mother, I cannot conceive a more dictatorial state than the one that wants me in jail because I chose to exercise my right to direct the education and upbringing of my daughters.”  Over 70,000 children are being homeschooled in Brazil today.  Trump-endorsed Columbian conservative wins presidency Colombian right-wing politician Abelardo de la Espriella won the Columbian presidential runoff on Sunday. He garnered 49.6% of the vote compared to leftist Iván Cepeda who took 48.7% of the vote.  De la Espriella was endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump and promised to take his country in a more conservative direction.  Connecticut liberals require homeschoolers to seek state permission The state of Connecticut is doing its part to keep parents from teaching their own children. The Connecticut Legislature passed House Bill 5468, a bill requiring parents to receive permission from the Connecticut Department of Children and Families in order to homeschool. Regrettably, Democrat Governor Ned Lamont signed the restrictive bill into law.  Attorney Kevin Boden of the Home School Legal Defense Association said, “This profound shift transforms Connecticut from a state where parents had significant freedom to the only state that imposes mandatory background checks on fit parents before they can teach their own children in their own home. By requiring every parent to be pre-screened before they can begin homeschooling, it ceases to acknowledge parents as trusted actors and instead casts them as risks to be managed.”  American farmers in trouble American agriculture is in crisis. Since 2020, the United States has lost almost 150,000 farms and 21 million acres.  Bankruptcies were up 50% year-to-year between 2024 and 2025, according to the State of the American Farmer Report, 2026. Only about half of farmers expect to be profitable this year. And 60% of farmers believe that farming as we know it today will cease to exist without a course correction.  Plus, the U.S. cattle herd is at a 75-year low -- roughly one-quarter cow per person today vs. one-half a cow per person 40 years ago. Deuteronomy 28:1-4 reminds us of God's blessings upon nations:  “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the Earth.   “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: ‘Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground, and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle, and the offspring of your flocks.'” Franklin Graham: Ebola outbreak in Congo much worse Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling for prayers as the most recent Ebola outbreak continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  The first symptoms are usually fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. These are usually followed by vomiting, diarrhea, and renal dysfunction, at which point some people begin to bleed both internally and externally. Outbreaks of the disease have had a mortality rate of between 25% and 90%, averaging 50%. According to Graham, “We believe the Ebola outbreak is much worse than we initially thought. We think it's spread much more because it went undetected for several weeks, and it's very difficult.” Graham added, “We need prayer. Our 70 staff members, they're there for a month or so and then [we] rotate them out and then they get a new team in. This is complicated because the borders are closed between [Congo] and Uganda. If you come back into the United States from [Congo], you could be quarantined and so forth. It's not easy. … We just ask people to pray and that God would continue to guide and direct us.”  Fewer women are attending church Women are leaving the Christian church.  Barna.com reports the largest gender gap in recorded history — with only 36% of women attending church compared to 43% of men. The gender gap at the beginning of the 21st century was 50% women attending and only 37% of men. The reversal dates back to 2018. Married dads now lead the charge with 41% attending church in the last week. By contrast, only 30% of married moms attended church in the last week and only 24% of single moms. Witchcraft-themed shows on the rise And finally, NARRATOR: “Once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to humans now. We have all but disappeared: demons, vampires, and witches hiding in plain sight.” Witchcraft is dominating in the media today — with at least 20 witchcraft-themed shows emerging in the 2020s, and over 50 shows that incorporate occasional witchcraft themes. Examples include: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Charmed reboot, A Discovery of Witches, Mayfair Witches, Agatha All Along, The Owl House, Fate: The Winx Saga, The Worst Witch, The Bureau of Magical Things, Motherland: Fort Salem, and The Witcher. Witchcraft communes and retreats are on the rise, reports The Guardian.  Women are seeking more avenues for power in the rising age of what they call “patriarchy.” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, “There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

We are in Primary season throughout the United States. Today, voters in Maryland, New York and Utah are going to the polls. Flying beneath the radar on so many races is CAIR Action (Council on American-Islamic Relations). Just today, CAIR Action sent out a press release saying their "team was on the ground and behind the scenes across multiple states, doing the essential work that moves elections. Endorsing candidates, mobilizing voters, and building the kind of relationships that turn a community into a constituency." They state this has officially become our most impactful cycle yet." Indeed, the slate of Islamic candidates is on the increase. In the words of Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, which you'll hear near the beginning of the broadcast, "We're also cleaning up Congress." Review this broadcast and consider the following: An interesting twist within this movement is the fact that there are not just Democrat Muslims running for office but Republican Muslims as well. What's the difference? Does this mean there is such a thing as a moderate Muslim after all? Egypt doesn't allow Hamas members to run for office yet we allow them to do so in America. Why, when we know that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is really Hamas? Is Islam really woven into the fabric of America's history as one audio clip alleges? Joining us is Usama Dakdok from the Straight Way of Grace Ministry.

The U.S. and Iran discuss a deal as sanction waivers boost Iran's oil revenue; questions remain over Iran's nuclear sites and Hezbollah; concerns grow over actions against the church in Iran; and preserving Iraq's ancient Christian community.

Another fight for the future of Texas looms this afternoon. The Board of Education of the Ft. Worth independent school district will be petulantly told it must entrust a 2,000 student high-school to a problematic principal.  At issue is not whether a sharia-adherent Muslim named Shayma Alzubi has the right to espouse Palestinian calls for genocide of Jews with the phrase “from the river to the sea.” Or endorse the subversion of the Marxist Black Live Matters movement. Or dissemble about the seditious, totalitarian Islamic strategy for conquest known as sharia. It is simply whether a person with such views should have a leading role in teaching American kids. And ultimately, the issue is whether, since the answer is obviously “No,” similarly minded individuals in a position to indoctrinate our children should also be precluded from doing so. This is Frank Gaffney.

The Islamification of America is HERE, and Texas is ground zero! Muslims are now pushing Sharia law over a Denton County cemetery. Meanwhile, actor Giancarlo Esposito — who played Gus Fring on “Breaking Bad” — converts to Islam and calls for REVOLUTION in America. However, some Texans have had enough and are calling out the Islamic cult. Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a bombshell report proving Fauci gave taxpayer funds to the Wuhan lab behind the COVID outbreak and let Americans die of COVID to push an experimental vaccine and emergency powers. But the New York Times and Washington Post are working overtime to misdirect the American public. Trump was right all along: The media is the enemy of the people. Black Americans have more rights than ever but still demand that white people not celebrate Juneteenth, go to work, and pay reparations. Violence exploded in Chicago over the “holiday” weekend, and Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed Nixon instead of those responsible while choosing to promote the protection of trans residents over black lives. Democrats will stop at nothing to make our country less safe. Seizing on President Trump's goodwill, now the Left wants to repeal the Jones Act and hand our coastal shipping over to China. But that's only going to make us even more America last. 0:00 - Sharia Law Now in Cemeteries? 20:31 - Tulsi Drops Fauci Bombshell 35:35 - Juneteenth Turns Deadly 47:05 - Democrats Push to Make America Last ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► PREBORN Donate securely at https://www.preborn.com/sara or dial #250, keyword BABY. ►MD HEARING Shop https://www.MDHearing.com and use promo code SARA to get a pair for hearing aids for JUST $247.

Mercury Retrograde, London Walks & Astrology Through HistoryIn this special episode of The Awake Space, Laurie records her final podcast from London while walking through Chelsea and visiting the iconic Victoria and Albert Museum. Rather than a traditional studio episode, this is a reflective conversation about Mercury retrograde, navigating life's unexpected twists, and understanding astrology through the lens of history, culture, and philosophy. Along the way, Laurie shares personal updates, observations from her trip, and a fascinating exploration of how astrology evolved alongside science, art, religion, and society. Why Mercury retrograde is often misunderstoodNavigating disruptions, delays, and changing plansPersonal reflections from Laurie's time in LondonFamily concerns and embracing life's unfolding cyclesUpdates on upcoming Awake Space events and programsA walking tour through Chelsea and the Victoria & Albert MuseumThe connection between astrology, astronomy, and navigationHow astrology evolved from ancient civilizations through the RenaissanceThe role of philosophy, science, religion, and culture in shaping astrological practiceMercury retrograde often gets blamed for everything that goes wrong, but Laurie argues that its real function is redirection, revision, and review. The frustrations and delays are invitations to adjust course rather than reasons to panic. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be better than Plan A. Whether dealing with travel disruptions, family concerns, or changing circumstances, Laurie reflects on viewing life through the lens of cycles rather than labeling experiences as good or bad. The challenge is not avoiding obstacles but learning how to meet them. Astrology is not frozen in ancient times. Laurie explores how modern astrology developed through centuries of observation, mathematics, philosophy, and cultural exchange, particularly through the contributions of scholars in the Islamic world, Renaissance Europe, and later scientific thinkers. The way astrology is practiced today reflects the eras that came before us. Just as art, science, religion, and politics evolved, astrology evolved alongside them. Understanding that history provides important context for interpreting astrology in the modern world. From the Industrial Revolution to artificial intelligence, societies face recurring challenges around technological change. Laurie draws parallels between historical transitions and today's rapidly changing world, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and discernment. 00:00 Welcome from London and St. Luke's Church02:00 Personal reflections on travel, family, and change05:00 Awake Space updates and upcoming events07:30 Why Mercury retrograde isn't the real problem10:20 Walking through Chelsea toward the V&A Museum14:25 How to navigate Mercury retrograde successfully22:50 Ancient astrology, Sumeria, and historical roots27:00 Entering the Victoria & Albert Museum30:00 Medieval manuscripts, scribes, and astrology's history40:00 Navigation instruments, astronomy, and astrology44:00 Evolution versus tradition in astrological practice48:00 Renaissance art and changing philosophies53:00 Industrialization, technology, and cultural shifts58:00 The Industrial Revolution and lessons for today01:03:00 Timekeeping, clocks, and changing worldviews01:07:00 Mercury, mythology, and astrological symbolism01:09:00 Why discernment matters in astrology01:11:00 Final reflections and closing thoughtsThe 2027 Year Ahead Presentation (rescheduled to July 11)The Awake Space CommunityVictoria & Albert MuseumSt. Luke's Church, ChelseaWilliam LillyGalileo GalileiCopernicusCarl JungRoberto AssagioliBenjamin DykesIn This EpisodeKey TakeawaysMercury Retrograde Is Not the VillainLife Happens in CyclesAstrology Is a Living TraditionHistory Shapes InterpretationAdaptation Is a Human SkillTimestampsMentioned in This Episode

Whenever I look at the photograph on the cover of this Sunday's bulletin, I am filled with many emotions at once—happiness, gratitude, nostalgia, and also a deep sadness. It was taken in the fall of 2009 in Rome. We had gathered at a restaurant to celebrate the ordination of a friend. There was good wine, wonderful Italian food, and the easy laughter. The joy on our faces tells the story better than words.At the time, everyone in the picture was still a seminarian, studying together for the priesthood. One of the great gifts of living in Rome, at the heart of the Catholic Church, is that you begin to see with your own eyes how truly universal the Church is. Men come from every corner of the world. In that photograph alone are seminarians from different parts of the United States, along with brothers from Iraq and Syria. Around that table, we were many nations, but one family.And this is where the memory makes me sad. In the upper left-hand corner, with the circle around his face, is Mikele, then a seminarian from Syria. We became friends through our classes and over many conversations shared with cappuccinos during breaks. From time to time, he would come to the American seminary where we lived and join us for lunch. After our years of study, we all returned to our own countries to serve Christ and His Church as priests. For a long time I heard nothing of Fr. Mikele. Then one day, quite unexpectedly, a mutual friend called me. “I have terrible news,” he said. “Do you remember Fr. Mikele from seminary? He has been kidnapped by terrorists.”I was stunned. Such things seem very far removed from our lives here in America, thanks be to God. Yet for many Christians throughout the world, they are terrible realities.Fr. Mikele had been delivering supplies to one of our Catholic schools in Damascus, the capital of Syria, where the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah was active. Though the danger was well known, he and other Catholics boarded a bus bound for the city. Along the way, armed men stopped the vehicle. They climbed aboard with rifles in their hands and slowly made their way down the aisle. Looking upon the frightened faces of the passengers, they pointed to the two Catholic priests, Fr. Mikele being one of them, and dragged them off the bus.Not long afterward, the Archbishop of Damascus received a call demanding a ransom for the release of his priests. With great sorrow, he refused, knowing that yielding to such demands would only encourage further kidnappings. Fr. Mikele's mother pleaded for her son's freedom, but there was nothing she could do. The kidnappers wanted money—more money than anyone possessed.Then, one day, the calls ceased. There was only silence. It has now been more than a decade since anyone has heard from Fr. Mikele. No letters. No messages. No word at all. Sadly, we must presume the worst.I tell this story because my friend's name will never appear in the headlines. He was not a famous man. He was a simple Catholic priest trying to serve his people in a dangerous part of the Lord's vineyard. He was a good man, a prayerful man, and a man who loved Our Lord with his whole heart. Fr. Mikele reminds me of the words of Our Lord in this Sunday's Gospel:“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.… Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.… So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.”The world may forget such men. Newspapers may never print their names. But Heaven does not forget them. The Father who counts the hairs on our heads has surely not forgotten one of His faithful servants. And whether Fr. Mikele died at the hands of his captors or still lives in some hidden place known only to God, we may be certain of this: no act of love offered to Christ is ever lost, and no servant who acknowledges Him before men will be forgotten by the Master whom he served. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

A recent episode comparing Islam and Christianity generated a lot of discussion—and a lot of criticism.In this episode of The Caffeinated Christian Podcast, we respond to several comments from Muslim viewers who challenged our understanding of Islam, the Quran, and the arguments presented in previous episodes.Rather than ignoring the criticism, we take the time to engage with it directly. Did we misunderstand the context? Did we misrepresent Islamic teaching? Or do the original arguments still stand?Our goal isn't to attack Muslims or score points in a debate. It's to pursue truth, examine evidence honestly, and encourage respectful dialogue between people who disagree.Whether you're a Christian, Muslim, skeptic, or simply curious about the conversation, we invite you to listen with an open mind.☕ Subscribe for more conversations on theology, culture, apologetics, and discipleship.#Islam #Christianity #Apologetics #Quran #JesusChrist #ChristianPodcastCHAPTERS:00:00 Cold Open: What If We're Wrong?01:05 Welcome Back to The Caffeinated Christian Podcast01:30 Why We're Responding to Comments03:40 Our Approach: Clarify, Correct, or Contend05:00 Which Faith Is The Counterfeit?08:05 The Major Criticism: Did We Misunderstand Islam?10:40 Correcting an Error About the Mahdi & Antichrist12:30 Understanding the Context of Surah 6015:20 Abraham as the Example in the Quran18:15 What Classical Commentaries Say21:05 Can Muslims Be Friends With Non-Muslims?23:10 Allies, Enemies, and Unbelievers Explained25:15 Did We Take the Quran Out of Context?26:50 Final Thoughts on Christian-Muslim Dialogue28:30 Closing Remarks Hosted on Acast.

Is Islam simply another world religion — or could it play a major role in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy?In Part 1 of this series from The Zach Drew Show, we examine the history of Islam, the life of Muhammad, the rapid expansion of the Islamic world, and the growing influence of Islamic ideology throughout the West.From the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and the concept of gradualism, to the political alliances shaping modern culture, we explore why many Christians are beginning to ask difficult questions about Islam's role in the future of our world.But the conversation doesn't stop there.In Part 2 we will cover how Islamic eschatology contains striking parallels to the end-times events described in Scripture. Could the Mahdi, the Islamic messiah figure, be connected to the biblical Antichrist? And is it possible that the final global religious system described in Revelation could emerge from the very region where Islam was born?In this episode we also discuss:

Foreign policy doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, so I dedicate a full hour to discussing the outcome of the Iran war with Tablet magazine's Park MacDougald. He helps me analyze the fallout from the Iran agreement, the future of Israel and Lebanon, the role of JD Vance, and whether America is repeating the same failed Middle East strategy used by Obama and Biden. Unfortunately, what you are seeing is not an exercise in America First or even isolationism or neutrality in the Middle East. It's a far-left Wilsonian view that intervenes on behalf of Islamic enemies and will further entrench us in the war for years to come. Also, if our trillion-dollar military can't keep shipping lanes open against Iran, what happens when China moves on the shipping lanes in the South China Sea?  Learn more about your ad choices.

Picked up on a few developments since the last program out of Ogden including the "Nazi hunting" piece by Sauve, and then moved to a video of Archbishop Edward Weisenburger speaking at a mosque opening in Dearborn (Detroit area), identifying the place as one of true worship, where God is active, and even made reference to the Islamic prayers (which, of course, specifically identify Christianity as a religion that has been led astray). We discussed how this tells us a lot about how Romanism has changed, and is changing, over the centuries.

Western civilization faces an existential threat from mass migration and low birth rates.

In Episode 159 of the MAX Afterburner Podcast, Matthew “Whiz” Buckley delivers an unfiltered SITREP on Operation Epic Fury, the escalating conflict with Iran, and the daily confusion surrounding negotiations, red lines, and America's strategic objectives.Pulling no punches, Whiz argues that proportional warfare is for losers and contends that the radical Islamic regime in Iran began its war against the United States nearly five decades ago. He examines President Trump's stated desire to finish that fight while questioning whether current negotiations and military strategy are achieving the desired outcome.Drawing on his experience as a TOPGUN fighter pilot who spent a lot of time in the region, Whiz discusses the dangers of prolonged military operations, the risks faced by America's young servicemembers, and why he believes dragging conflicts out can carry costs measured not only in lives lost, but in lives forever changed.He highlights the recent shootdown of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter by Iranian forces. By the grace of God, both aviators survived. Yet Whiz challenges the notion that America should only respond decisively after fatalities occur. He argues that traumatic brain injuries, life-altering wounds, and invisible injuries suffered by servicemembers matter just as much as casualty statistics.As the founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation, Whiz has spent years working with veterans carrying the unseen wounds of war. He points out that repeated drone, missile, and proxy attacks don't have to kill American troops to inflict devastating consequences. Every attack risks creating another generation of warriors who return home carrying physical, emotional, and moral injuries that can last a lifetime.Whiz also challenges the idea that America's adversaries can be negotiated with as if they were business partners across a Manhattan real estate table. He questions whether mixed messaging, shifting red lines, and prolonged operations are putting more American lives at risk rather than bringing the conflict to a decisive conclusion.But this episode is about more than strategy and geopolitics.As always, Whiz speaks from the heart, reminding listeners that war is the ultimate failure of the human condition. Beneath the flags, politics, religions, and borders, we are all human beings. While he calls for decisive action when necessary, he also calls for peace—and for leaders to never forget the human cost paid by those sent into harm's way.Passionate. Provocative. Thought-provoking.This is an episode that will challenge assumptions, spark debate, and leave listeners thinking long after the debrief is over.Fight's On!

Bliss in Triple Rhythm–A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems by Martin Bidney https://www.amazon.com/Bliss-Triple-Rhythm-Toolbox-Poets/dp/1987402561 Mmartinbidney.org This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I’m so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I’ve already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I’ll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I’ll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old. About the author Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (NY), writes poetry books that are dialogues. In “Shakespair” he converses in Shakespearean sonnets with the 154 that the bisexual Bard himself wrote in the 1590s about his boyfriend and girlfriend. In “A Unifying Light” Martin converses with Qur’anic passages on the topic of Jews and Christians in the Qur’an and the Islamic virtues they embody. “East-West Poetry” shows Martin replying, in poems, to passages from both the Qur’an and Rumi. “Poems of Wine and Tavern Romance” offers 103 dialogues between Martin and Hafiz, the 14th century Persian pub poet he translates, a Muslim Sufi who was bisexual, like Shakespeare, and whom Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, called his “twin” brother! (Martin translates Hafiz from the same version Goethe used.) In fact, Martin has also translated Goethe’s own “West-East Divan” (divan means “collection”) and wrote conversational reply poems to all of Goethe’s 240 lyrics. Martin’s dialogue book with the greatest Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, contains, on facing pages, the sonnets he wrote in response to the “Crimean Sonnets” he translated from Polish. In “Like a Fine Rug of Erivan” he translates 39 Pushkin poems from Russian and recites them on a CD. His wide-ranging fascination with revelatory writing stems from “Patterns of Epiphany,” where Martin pioneered a method of analysis he has since applied to over 20 authors.

Gregory Copley critiques the upcoming US-Iran memo, characterizing it as a "rinse and repeat" cycle rather than a true victory. He argues that by failing to remove the Islamic regime, the US preserves a weakened but hostile power. Copleyalso notes shifting alliances as Gulf states pursue independent policies. (11)

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-16-2026.1881.  LYSANDER DESTROYS THE WALLS OF ATHENS.Liz Peek discusses Elon Musk's potential trillionaire status, highlighting his massive contributions through SpaceX and Tesla. She defends his wealth creation as a product of capitalist grit and innovation, contrasting it with socialist critiques. Peek emphasizes how Musk's projects, including orbital data centers, advance technology for global society. (1)Liz Peek analyzes Kevin Warsh's appointment to the Federal Reserve and his optimistic view of AI-driven productivity. She predicts the Fed will hold interest rates steady despite inflation, noting that falling oil prices from a potential Irandeal could ease economic pressures. Peek also highlights a strong consumer market. (2)Professor John Yoo critiques the "Thucydides Trap" analogy used by Xi Jinping to describe US-China tensions. He argues China resembles militaristic Sparta, while the US represents the democratic, commercial Athens. Yoo warns that China's declining population and stolen technology make it a declining power compared to the booming US. (3)Professor John Yoo applies the Thucydides Trap to the current conflict between the US and Iran's "concert of autocracies." He notes that while some view Iran as a rising power, it functions more like a small, oppressive elite. Yooemphasizes that the US fears autocracy rather than rising power alone. (4)Joseph Sternberg explains the impending depletion of the Social Security Trust Fund, labeling it an accounting gimmick. He clarifies that the program is a pay-as-you-go system where current workers fund retirees. Sternbergdiscusses the political difficulty of reform, suggesting private accounts as a viable alternative for younger generations. (5)Joseph Sternberg reports on the turmoil within Britain's Labour Party, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces internal challenges. He discusses potential successor Andy Burnham's by-election bid and Nigel Farage's Reform Partyinfluence. Sternberg highlights the heavily taxed British economy and the strategic calculations surrounding a possible general election. (6)Jonathan Schanzer critiques the rumored US-Iran deal, warning that it offers significant sanctions relief without securing nuclear concessions. He argues that the plan fails to address ballistic missiles or proxies like Hezbollah. Schanzer expresses concern that the deal grants Iran a veto over Israeli defense actions in Lebanon. (7)Jonathan Schanzer discusses the roles of Syria, Qatar, and Turkey in regional conflicts. He questions the reliability of the Syrian regime to tame Hezbollah, suggesting a "neo-Ottoman" Turkish agenda. Regarding Gaza, he notes Hamas is tactically contained but remains a threat, while warning against trusting Qatar. (8)Gregory Copley addresses the crisis in the UK Ministry of Defense, marked by high-level resignations and budget cuts. He describes the Royal Marines' seizure of a Russian "shadow fleet" tanker and a Russian warship firing warning shots at a yacht. Copley argues years of neglect have degraded British naval power. (9)Gregory Copley examines the Makerfield by-election, where Andy Burnham seeks to return to Parliament to challenge Keir Starmer's leadership. He explains how third parties like Reform and Restore Britain could split the vote. Copley notes Burnham's potential as a more capable leader despite his traditional "tax and spend" policies. (10)Gregory Copley critiques the upcoming US-Iran memo, characterizing it as a "rinse and repeat" cycle rather than a true victory. He argues that by failing to remove the Islamic regime, the US preserves a weakened but hostile power. Copleyalso notes shifting alliances as Gulf states pursue independent policies. (11)Gregory Copley explains the Trooping the Colour ceremony, a display of British military discipline celebrating the sovereign's birthday. He highlights King Charles III handing visible authority to Prince William during this year's event. Copley notes the ceremony serves as an inspirational reminder of the British Army's historic and professional legacy. (12)Andrea Stricker discusses the IAEA's near-total loss of access to Iranian nuclear sites. She details how previous US and Israeli strikes decimated enrichment capabilities, yet monitoring remains blind. Stricker emphasizes the difficulty of verifying the location of highly enriched uranium stockpiles, particularly at the heavily damaged Esfahan tunnel complex. (13)Andrea Stricker explains the "numbingly complicated" nature of Iran's nuclear program, which utilizes research centers and universities to hide sensitive work. She advocates for a comprehensive agreement requiring full Iranian disclosure and intrusive inspections. Without such transparency, Stricker warns that any diplomatic deal will lack long-term strategic weight. (14)Thaddeus McCotter reflects on the 2009 Green Movement, criticizing the Obama administration for parlaying with "butchers" rather than supporting protesters. He warns that the current Trump administration faces the same ideological enemy. McCotter expresses deep skepticism toward any transactional deal, given the regime's religious commitment to its anti-Western crusade. (15)Thaddeus McCotter joins John Batchelor to discuss the lack of clarity in the emerging US-Iran memo, specifically regarding ballistic missiles and human rights. He questions the effectiveness of a "60-day ceasefire" strategy and calls for Congressional oversight. McCotter emphasizes that the regime's terroristic nature remains unaddressed by diplomatic benchmarks. (16)

Something unusual happened across America's sports arenas this week — and almost nobody's covering it. UFC fighters quoted Scripture to Joe Rogan mid-octagon. A New York Knick dropped to his knees in worship before winning the franchise's first championship in 50 years. And a baseball player wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride Night hat — quietly reclaiming the rainbow's original biblical meaning in front of millions. Is this a coincidence? Or is something bigger shifting in the culture? Lance Wallnau breaks down the moments Christian athletes are making headlines — from the octagon to the court to the diamond — and why the mainstream media isn't sure what to do with any of it. Plus: Trump's 80th birthday at the White House, the NYC chaos after the Knicks title, Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, and Lance's inside breakdown of why the Iran deal might actually hold. In this episode: * UFC fighters quote John 3:16 and John 10:10 live to Joe Rogan after their fights * Josh Hart leads the Knicks to their first NBA title in 50 years — and gives glory to God * NYC celebrates the championship by burning buses and racking up 63 arrests * A baseball player writes Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat — and calmly explains why * Trump's 80th birthday: 5,000 people, live fights, and a South Lawn lawsuit from the left * Elon Musk hits $1 trillion — and what it means for America vs. China * The Iran deal explained: how Trump controls their cash flow through Islamic banking networks If you've been waiting for Christians to show up in the arena — they already are.

At the heart of the current U.S. war against Iran is an inconvenient truth: that the United States is, in many ways, responsible for creating the very regime it now seeks to topple. Today, Scott Anderson, a New York Times Magazine contributor, tells the story of America's outsize role in the Islamic Revolution, and why all these years later we're still no closer to understanding Iran.

In the new film 'Pressure,' Scott plays an Army meteorologist advising military officials on the date for the D-Day invasion. He spoke to Terry Gross in 2024 about playing a killer conman in ‘Ripley' and the “hot priest” in ‘Fleabag.' Plus, we listen back to Terry Gross' 2003 interview with French-Iranian artist and writer Marjane Satrapi, who died June 4. Satrapi's groundbreaking graphic novel ‘Persepolis' introduced readers to life in Iran during the Islamic revolution and the Iran/Iraq war. And Justin Chang reviews ‘Disclosure Day.' See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
