America faces coordinated threats — communism, Islamism, global governance, and internal betrayal — converging with an unsustainable national debt nearing $40 trillion. Kevin Freeman outlines seven critical truths about debt, from who holds it to why spending cuts, asset sales, or taxing billionaires won't fix the trajectory. He explains why monetization, unfunded liabilities, and entrenched interests amplify risk, and he proposes managed inflation, productivity growth, deregulation, and sound money as the only viable paths forward. This first installment sets the foundation for the Six Trials by Fire and the urgent need for political will and practical safeguards.
This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party government shutdown is the best evidence why the government should never, for example, take over our healthcare system. It's not controlled by Democrat politicians (senators) abusing the filibuster rule to blackmail the country and do as much damage to the economy as possible to further government control of the economy and leftwing political agendas. Also, the U.S. air traffic control system and TSA should be privatized. It's unacceptable that our air traffic could come to a halt because air traffic controllers wouldn't show up for work during the shutdown. The Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership. In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. In chapter two of "American Marxism," titled "Breeding Mobs," it explains how mass movements devour individual identity and uniqueness, rendering people indistinguishable while assigning group identities based on race, age, or income to foster class distinctions and divisions. These movements attract disenchanted, disaffected, and maladjusted individuals who blame external factors like the system or others for their conditions, lured by utopian promises and criticisms of society, where improving their lot ties to the cause and disparaging the successful becomes a tactic to instill meaning and self-worth. Ultimately, these movements rely on deceit, propaganda, intimidation, and force, leading to scapegoating, violence, and totalitarianism. Just think of figures like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and their supporters. Later, the U.S. healthcare system is the world's best, but some sort of health savings accounts that put more money in people's pockets, enabling them to choose and pay for their own healthcare premiums would be a great idea. Afterward, Gov Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff was indicted on 23 federal counts including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chama Mechtaly is a Moroccan-American artist, activist, and policy advisor whose work sits at the intersection of cultural preservation, deradicalisation, and Middle Eastern diplomacy. Born in Casablanca in 1992 to a Muslim mother and a Jewish father of Amazigh heritage, she draws on her complex identity to promote dialogue and coexistence between Muslim and Jewish communities throughout North Africa and the Gulf. She recently organised the first-ever Abraham Accords Deradicalisation Summit, where she contributed to shaping cultural frameworks for regional integration in the wake of normalisation agreements. In today's conversation, we discuss her recent Quillette essay examining Qatar's ideological reach into Western institutions, the suppression of critical voices, and the broader ambitions of Islamist movements on the global stage. Drawing from her lived experience across Morocco, the Gulf, and the United States, Chama reflects on how Islamist actors have appropriated the language of democracy to undermine liberal values from within. What emerges is a sobering analysis of the soft power networks quietly reshaping our political and cultural institutions—and the steep cost of looking the other way. We also explore how culture is weaponised, how the West has failed to confront these forces, and what a path toward genuine peace and pluralism in the Middle East might look like.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership. In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. Also, Rep Mike Lawler calls in and explains that the Democrat government shutdown was idiotic, aimed at fighting Trump and appeasing their far-left base through political leverage rather than benefiting Americans or addressing healthcare. He argues that Obamacare's affordability relies solely on federal subsidies like enhanced ACA tax credits, which he is open to extending for one year to enable fundamental fixes, as the program has driven up costs over 15 years, destroyed the system through ineffective consolidation, and failed to achieve economies of scale. Afterward, UC Berkeley student radicals from groups including Students Organizing for Liberation, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Young Democratic Socialists of America organized protests against a Turning Point event. These protesters are anti-Israel, anti-US radicals linked to Soros operations and leftist figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, who seek to overthrow the country rather than engage in civil debate. Finally, we thank all who served in the military, although thanks can never be enough. Veterans are a unique and shrinking breed who deserve appreciation for their sacrifices, with the country owing them a great debt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Send us a textIn a world where political ideologies clash and the very essence of freedom is at stake, voices like Dalia al-Aqidi's shine a light on the struggles faced by those who have lived under oppressive regimes. In her candidacy for Congress in Minnesota's fifth district, Dalia not only brings her personal story to the forefront but also a message of hope and resilience, urging Americans to stand against the tide of socialism and radicalism.Main Content:The Rise of Socialism in AmericaIn recent years, the political landscape has shifted dramatically, with the rise of socialist ideologies infiltrating even the most powerful political seats in the country. Host David Campbell opens the podcast by expressing his shock over the election of a communist mayor in New York City, underscoring the crucial need to bring spiritual values back into public life. He emphasizes that the elected must answer to a higher authority, a sentiment echoed by Dalia al-Aqidi throughout the episode.Dalia's Background and MotivationA former journalist and an immigrant from Iraq, Dalia al-Aqidi's journey to America began as a quest for freedom. She fled oppression and dictatorship, seeking a place where she could express herself without fear. Dalia's passion for politics ignited early in her life, leading her to become involved with the Republican Party upon her arrival in the U.S. She quickly recognized the stark differences between the parties and found her beliefs aligning with conservative values.Dalia's candidacy is not just a political move; it is a deeply personal mission to combat the ideologies that threaten America. She highlights her concerns about representatives like Ilhan Omar, whose actions and voting records align with radical Islamism. Dalia's commitment to defending American values is rooted in her experience as an immigrant who understands the importance of assimilation and cultural appreciation.Confronting Identity PoliticsDalia speaks candidly about the challenges she faces as a candidate running against Ilhan Omar, who has successfully utilized identity politics to her advantage. Dalia's strategy is to disarm these accusations by emphasizing her love for America, stating, "I didn't run because I'm an immigrant. I ran because when I took my citizenship oath, I took it seriously." This strong declaration reflects her belief that love for one's country transcends background and should be the cornerstone of political discourse.The Unique Landscape of Minnesota's Fifth DistrictThe fifth district, represented by Omar, is known for its liberal and progressive leanings, making Dalia's campaign a significant uphill battle. During the podcast, she discusses the strategic grooming of Omar by political Islamist groups and how they mobilize voters through a narrative that often vilifies dissent. Dalia's commitment to building a base of support within this unique district demonstrates her determination to challenge the status quo and bring about meaningful change.Key Takeaways: 1.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Tuesday's election results were no surprise because the Democrats immigration strategy to change the demographics and citizenry, without assimilation, has worked. NYC will decline, the question is by how much and Virginia is now part of the federal government. If the election was about affordability why did NJ vote to increase their property taxes and energy bills? Also, America is at a critical juncture, threatened by Marxist Islamists on the extreme left and the extreme right. These evil forces collude to dismantle the greatest nation ever, embodying freedom, diversity, tolerance, just law, and decentralized power, inherited through ancestral sacrifices. They embrace tyrants like Hitler, Stalin, Qatar's leaders, Iran, and Putin, aiming to impose ideologies, religions, or third-world status. We need to reject and deplatform enablers in media, think tanks, and organizations profiting from hate, Marxism, Islamism, antisemitism, or anti-Christianity via market forces. Later, neither the law nor the Constitution prohibits a President from imposing tariffs, which can serve purposes like rebuilding industries, countering foreign tariffs, or ensuring national security. Congress holds the power of the purse and could pass statutes to limit presidential tariff authority, but it has not done so, making judicial intervention unnecessary and a potential separation of powers issue. The Court should refrain from involvement, as any limits would come from congressional action or voter disapproval. Afterward, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to explain the danger of Tucker Carlson, who is driving a wedge between Christians and Jews, America and Israel, and the pillars of Western civilization, which harms Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party by inviting bigotries like anti-Semitism. Finally, Eli Sharabi, a former Hamas hostage from Kibbutz Berry, calls in to share his story of what happened of October 7th and beyond in his new book, Hostage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063489791/ During his 14-month captivity in tunnels, he lost over 60 pounds and bonded closely with fellow hostages, sharing daily conversations about their childhoods, families, friends, and hobbies to survive. They developed strategies for dealing with captors and analyzed them constantly. Throughout, they maintained unwavering hope and faith, believing it was only a matter of time before Israel, through the IDF, secret services, and leadership, would secure their release.

Dive into two urgent stories shaping America's cities: the Department of Homeland Security's new rules finally stripping Antifa of its masks and noise tactics in Portland, and the shocking rise of Zoran Mamdani—a Marxist Islamist elected mayor of New York City.Victoria is joined by Robert Spencer, author of Intifada on the Hudson, to unpack how Mamdani's ideology mirrors the fusion of Marxism and jihadism and what it reveals about America's civic and moral collapse. You'll also learn how Portland's ICE facility is fighting back against Antifa's intimidation tactics—and why the Left's soft spot for lawlessness could finally backfire.#RobertSpencer, #ZoranMamdani, #Antifa, #Portland, #VictoriaTaft, #IntifadaOnTheHudson, #FreeSpeech, #Marxism, #Islamism, #NewYorkPolitics

Bob continues to talk about the election. Bob then welcomes Scott Wilder from Pre-Born to talk about our big campaign tomorrow to raise money to save lives of babies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
TALK TO ME, TEXT ITNew York just shocked the timeline, and we're sorting the signal from the noise. A “Muslim communist” mayor headlines a chaotic week, but the deeper story runs through migration politics, media incentives, and a conservative movement pulled between outrage and outcomes. We pull quotes from high-profile voices, test their claims, and ask the harder question: what will New Yorkers actually feel on the street, at school, and in their wallets over the next six months?We start with the immediate reaction cycle—viral posts, front-page covers, and sharpening labels—then move into the policy ground where elections become real life. Public safety, housing supply, and city budgets take center stage. If borders and busing shaped coalitions, what are the concrete fixes cities can control? We explore how policing priorities, permitting reform, and targeted social services could change the day-to-day, and where ideological branding distracts from measurable results. Along the way, we unpack the Islamism-versus-communism debate and pivot to a simpler test: will this administration make New York more livable for families and small businesses?The episode also holds a mirror to the right. Platforming provocateurs fuels clicks but drains focus from local wins. We break down the Tucker-Fuentes controversy, the crossfire among conservative media figures, and the cost of letting personality loyalty outrank standards. Then we sketch a practical path forward: set bright lines on who gets a platform, invest in neighborhood-level coalitions, and track outcomes with transparent dashboards so rhetoric can be judged against reality.If you're tired of hot takes and want a roadmap for what matters next—crime metrics, housing approvals, school performance, and voter coalitions—this one's for you.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Zohran Mamdani's rise for New York City mayor was meticulously engineered by George Soros cash and socialist groups. They've been grooming him for 10 years. This model extends nationwide, propelling similar candidates like Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Virginia Lt. Governor candidate Ghazala Hashmi. This fusion of Marxism and Islamism is spreading. We can't allow them to devour our society. Also, it looks like the Biden regime had a Stasi headed by Jack Smith. Sen Chuck Grassley has released 197 FBI subpoenas from the Biden administration's "Arctic Frost" investigation, which looked like a Biden administration enemies list. Later, Obamacare is an unworkable, unaffordable disaster from day one, with premiums set to skyrocket due to Democrat expansions during the pandemic that inflated costs across Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans. Democrats are lying about its benefits, interfering with markets to push for universal healthcare—including for illegal aliens—while gutting $700 billion from Medicare and eyeing employer plans. Afterward, Democrats and the media have relentlessly portrayed climate change as an "existential" threat over the past decade. Now, billionaire Bill Gates has abruptly declared it's not existential, pivoting to calls for helping the poor and needy instead, a shift the media eagerly echoes. This vindicates the skeptics long smeared as "climate deniers" by the likes of NBC's Chuck Todd. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In this episode, Antonia Senior speaks with journalist and author Jason Burke about The Revolutionists, and the extraordinary true story of Gunnar Ekberg — the Swedish spy who infiltrated radical left-wing movements in Europe during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ekberg witnessed first-hand a moment of enormous ideological energy: when secular, nationalist and progressive revolutionary groups believed they were the vanguard of global change. Embedded inside these movements, he saw their organising, their fervour, their drift toward violence — and ultimately, their decline. But Ekberg's story also marks the hinge-point in modern terrorism. As the decade unfolded, the revolutionary energy that once drove secular movements shifted dramatically. Islamism emerged as the dominant revolutionary force in the Middle East, while Western Europe's security focus transformed as left-wing groups faded and jihadist networks rose. Through Ekberg's eyes — and Burke's deep analysis — this conversation explores how ideology, violence and global power structures evolved, and why that shift still shapes the world we live in today. terror history, Gunnar Ekberg, Jason Burke, The Revolutionists, 1970s radicalism, secular nationalism, Islamism, hijackings, European terrorism, Middle East extremism, podcast interview, history of terrorism.If you enjoyed this conversation, please subscribe, rate us, and check the links below for Jason Burke's book.

In this conversation, Carl Jackson discusses the critical role of political will in shaping policies and the outcomes of elections, particularly focusing on the New York City mayoral race. He argues that without political will, policies become meaningless and emphasizes the importance of providing voters with clear choices. The discussion also touches on the implications of electing leftist policies, the significance of accountability in leadership, and the influence of media on political narratives.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Zohran Mamdani claimed that his aunt stopped taking the NYC subway after 9/11 due to feeling unsafe in her hijab, basically calling New Yorkers bigots. But it turns out his story is false: his aunt lived and worked in Tanzania, never took the NYC subway, and was unaffected. Then you have Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran's father, who teaches anti-Americanism, hate, and terrorism, and claims America originated settler colonialism—exported worldwide, with Abraham Lincoln inspiring Hitler's genocide, concentration camps, and Nuremberg Laws patterned after U.S. laws. This Marxist-Islamist ideology blames America for fascism, imperialism, racism, and bigotry. Mamdani is launching a war on Americanism. It's an effort to destroy the glue that holds the society together. Later, Gov Gavin Newsom is a disaster and is unfit for the presidency. He ruined California —once prosperous, wealthy, low-taxed, law-respecting, with top universities and unmatched beauty—by turning it into a third world-like state through open borders, economic dislocation, massive wealth redistribution and taxation, control by radical environmentalists and teachers unions, wokeism, and cultural destruction. Afterward, Speaker Mike Johnson calls in and rejects the Democrats approach to healthcare, because they have no reform plan and are doubling down on the subsidized, failing Obamacare program, intentionally designed to collapse into single-payer government control. He dismisses Democrat talking points which lack good ideas and aim for total government control over lives. Republicans are the only party with ideas to fix healthcare by making it affordable, accessible, and higher quality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Lionel delivers an entertaining and informative show grappling with America's painful crisis of identity and cultural anxiety. He confronts the political use of labels like "racist," "Islamophobe," and "anti-semite," arguing these terms are now merely used to tell people to "shut up". The show debates the failure of assimilation, the threat of cultural replacement, and whether America is suffering from a sense of "Historic Alzheimer's". Lionel dives deep into the chaotic New York City mayoral race, debating strategic voting and dismantling progressive figures like Zohran Mamdani, whom he dismisses as a "poser" and a "sock puppet". Plus, intense discussion on Islamism (a political ideology disguised as a religion), the lunacy of policies like "free buses" and "rent freezes", and a highly detailed, mouth-watering interlude about the unrivaled excellence of Cuban food.

The host confronts the political use of labels like "racist," "Islamophobe," and "anti-semite," arguing that these terms no longer mean anything and are merely used to tell people to "shut up". The core issue? The loss of American culture due to the failure of assimilation and the threat of cultural replacement. Lionel discusses the dangers of Islamism—a political ideology disguised as a religion—and reveals his shock when a staunch leftist friend decides to vote Republican due to the multiplication of "headscarves" in her neighborhood. Drawing on a list of countries (including France, Belgium, and Japan) that have imposed bans or restrictions on full face coverings (like the burka and nikab) for reasons of cultural cohesion and national security, the show debates whether we are in the middle of a cultural war. Plus, a deep dive into the New York City mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Sen. Bernie Sanders spent $78,371 on private jet charters between July and September, adding to over $450,000 in similar expenditures in the prior six months, totaling more than half a million dollars this year on luxury air travel. This is supposed to be the man of the people? These Marxists are sickening. Also, Speaker Mike Johnson is calling out the Democrat party for what they are – Marxists and Socialists. They'll be attending a No Kings rally this weekend but who's funding this? This is not a bottom-up spontaneous movement. Later, Zohran Mamdani is an Islamist jihadist who represents the terrorist wing of Islamism rather than Muslims. Mamdani won't condemn Hamas or acknowledge inequalities in places like Qatar. His policies would cause economic shortages and dislocation in NYC. Finally, the Gaza peace deal should not mark the end of the peace process. True, lasting peace requires addressing the root cause: Islamist terrorism, which originates primarily in the Middle East and is funded, promoted, and exported by countries like Qatar through outlets such as Al Jazeera. Arab and Muslim nations need to stop harboring, funding, and appeasing terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, ISIS, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Trump is uniquely qualified to extend the deal's unity into a bold initiative to unravel, isolate, and eliminate these threats, leveraging relationships with nations that fear terrorists while pressuring others.

There are increasing calls to unify all factions of the Right. I'm not opposed to that sentiment, but we have to unify behind some affirmative vision beyond simply beating Democrats at the ballot box (but not on the policy playing field). I go through a list of existential threats to our civilization, from Islamism and rampant domestic terrorism to judicial supremacism, unaffordability, and a lack of credible conservative candidates in red states, and I show how there is zero vision on the Right. Moreover, while the Left continues to move its party toward communism in primaries, we have no plan to elect conservatives in primaries or even engage in them at all. So what is there to unify behind? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From the League of Nations to the U.N., Kevin Freeman and Alex Newman trace the architecture of global governance and its collision with American sovereignty. They unpack the red-green-blue axis — communism, radical Islamism, and unchecked globalism — linking it to climate policy, mass migration, ESG finance, and cultural capture. Learn how media complicity, corporate power, and transnational institutions model a centralized system inspired by the CCP. Action steps focus on local engagement, education, family protection, and faith-driven resilience.
On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Qatar is the world's largest funder of terrorism, Islamism in education, and anti-American front groups and they will have an Air Force facility in America. American Air Force pilots will train Qatari pilots on F-15 jets. This is shocking. How can you reward Qatar with an Air Force facility given their role on 9/11? Will Qatar apologize for 9/11 and October 7th? Will they agree to swear off terrorism? Afterward, Rush Limbaugh was a staunch defender of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Limbaugh visited Israel multiple times, promoted it on his radio show, and would be appalled by Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and others who associate with lowlifes that yearn for the Third Reich. Today Limbaugh would vocally oppose Qatar's U.S. base. Also, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is refusing to denounce her party's Attorney General nominee Jay Jones, who sent horrific texts about murdering a Republican and his family. Democrats, including Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, protect Jones, who is dangerous. Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears, a Marine veteran, businesswoman, is an excellent choice, despite the media bias against her. Later, Trump has imposed 100% tariffs on China in response to its export controls on rare earth minerals, which is blackmail on China's part. China is the enemy, and their weakness is the financial sector. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Glenn starts the show by reading a statement made by Christopher Rufo regarding America's ongoing support for the nation of Israel. Is criticizing Israel equated to anti-Semitism? Glenn argues no, explaining why supporters of Israel must defend their position from the perspective of American interests. Glenn also calls out the evil of Islamism and the threat it poses to Israel and America. Glenn goes through some of the lessons he shared during his Turning Point USA event at the University of North Dakota. Cut this generation some slack, Glenn argues, because he sees something happening within them that gives him hope. Rutgers University Turning Point charter members Ava Kwan and Megyn Doyle join to discuss the backlash they've received since authoring a petition to remove a professor with the nickname “Dr. Antifa.” Glenn speaks with a young athlete named Frances Staudt, who, after refusing to play basketball with a male identifying as a woman, required security to speak at an event advocating for the protection of women's sports. “Mount Doom” co-author Paul List discusses what J.R.R. Tolkien predicted about artificial intelligence and transhumanism in “The Lord of the Rings.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Polish politician Dominik Tarczyński sits down with Andrew Gold on Heretics to explain why Poland has taken such a hard stance on immigration, Islamism, and the protection of European culture. Known around the world for his famous declaration that Poland would not accept “even one illegal migrant,” Tarczyński opens up about why he's turning his attention to Britain, what lessons the UK can learn from Poland, and how he sees the future of Europe unfolding.

Follow Dominic Tarczyński: https://x.com/D_Tarczynskiv From his encounters with Tommy Robinson to his controversial views on radical Islam, refugees, and European identity, Tarczyński argues that Poland's zero-tolerance immigration policy has kept the nation secure and culturally cohesive. He discusses the meaning of terms like “racist,” “far-right,” and “invasion,” while insisting he is targeting jihadists rather than Islam as a faith. This explosive conversation dives into whether Poland could “save Europe,” what's really happening at Europe's borders, and why countries like Sweden are already lost.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, there's enthusiasm for Christian revivals and Judeo-Christian values, but there are those exploiting faith to divide Jews and Christians, including a blood libel invoked by Tucker Carlson during the Charlie Kirk memorial service. People like Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon and others promote Jew hatred, aligning with Marxists, Islamists, and neo-Nazis rather than true conservatives like Presidents Trump or Reagan. The Democratic Party has violent origins and history and remains a violent entity today. Democrats promote violence through propaganda, fearmongering, and policies like allowing violent felons to vote, open borders that invite cartels and terrorists, and embracing Marxism and Islamism. The Democrats persist in labeling President Trump as Hitler, a dictator, and a threat to democracy despite two assassination attempts on him. Agitprop—a combination of agitation and propaganda—originates from Lenin's 1902 writings and implemented after the 1917 Russian Revolution to manipulate minds, control thoughts, and incite anger for societal control. The modern American Marxist Democrat Party adapts these tactics. The Democrats speak publicly in press conferences and talk shows to maximize impact, resulting in widespread violence on ICE agents and law enforcement, though they deflect blame onto guns rather than taking credit for their influence.

Stéphanie welcomes Os Guinness back again on the Gospel Spice podcast. Os offers his analysis of the critical juncture facing Western civilization, particularly America, and provides a trustworthy framework for Christians to understand and thoughtfully respond to today's unique social, cultural, and political challenges. Os Guinness's recent book, Our Civilizational Moment, gave Stephanie a framework to understand the current news headlines, including the assassination and memorial service of Charlie Kirk, a devoted follower of Jesus who died for his beliefs. She and Os discuss the events as Os provides a uniquely courageous and nuanced perspective. Os urges Christians to think deeply, be courageous, and avoid simple partisanship. He advocates looking back to the biblical foundations—faith, family, education—and promoting them through partnership with like-minded individuals, including Jews. Christian maturity means engaging with nuance, confession, and humility, rather than tribalism or reactionary politics. He also hopes for a significant national conversation and rededication, especially approaching America's 250th anniversary, rooted in prayer, repentance, and recommitment to core biblical principles. THE CONVERSATION MORE IN DEPTH Os Guinness defines the concept of a “civilizational moment,” which is a critical point in a civilization's history when its foundational principles are either renewed, replaced, or lost, leading to decline. For the West, this moment involves deciding whether to return to its Judeo-Christian roots or continue on a path shaped by secular Enlightenment thought and radical ideologies. Every civilization faces a time when it must choose—renew what made it great, replace it with something else, or decline and fall. Os describes four major “waves” or movements currently undermining the West from within: · The Red Wave: Rooted in cultural Marxism, this movement has transitioned from economic revolution to influencing culture and institutions over decades. · The Rainbow Wave: The sexual revolution, driven not just by recent pop culture but by deep philosophical roots aiming to overturn centuries of Judeo-Christian and Jewish values about humanity and sexuality. · The Black Wave: Radical Islamism, which has allied itself with the other movements to destabilize Western civilization. · The Gold Wave : A nod to economic and technological factors, less emphasized during the conversation, but brilliantly explained in the book. Os explains their convergence—especially the surprising alliance between radical left movements and Islamism—as an effort to dismantle the traditional Western order. These movements often work together, despite their differences, because they share a goal of undermining the Christian-influenced foundations of Western civilization. Guinness reminds listeners that the West owes its structure to the Christian faith, rooted in Judaism. Other influences (Greek, Roman) contributed, but it was the biblical worldview—especially covenantal thinking from the Old Testament—that shaped institutions and ideals. A loss of conviction in these roots leads to confusion about identity and direction, both culturally and politically. America in particular is experiencing: · Ideological Polarization: A deep divide between visions anchored either in the American Revolution (biblical) or the French Revolution (secular, Enlightenment). · Institutional Polarization: Growing distrust between elites and ordinary citizens. · Crisis of Words: The breakdown of truthful, respectful communication, leading to increased violence and mistrust. Os cautions against seeking solutions purely through power or politics, whether from the left or right. Both extremes, if detached from biblical truth and justice, are dangerous. Hope is found in trusting God, returning to biblical truth, and joining together, beyond politics, to seek the good of society and witness to the gospel. Our “civilizational moment” requires discernment, wisdom, and Christ-centered courage. Christians are called to be salt and light—engaging culture thoughtfully, grounded in truth, and seeking both the renewal of their nation and the flourishing of humanity worldwide. Os helps us identify the key cultural forces at play, and explore how Christians can wisely and courageously navigate this pivotal time. MORE ABOUT “OUR CIVILIZATIONAL MOMENT” Purchase the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Civilizational-Moment-Waning-Worlds/dp/B0DL3LW558/ Where do you find the great civilizations of the world? In ruins, in museums, and in history books. Each one in its time rose, flourished, and then declined and fell. Is the West facing its own civilizational moment today? A civilizational moment is a critical transition phase in the rise, course, and decline of a civilization when a civilization loses its decisive connection with the dynamic that inspired it. Such a moment must then issue in one of three broad options: a renewal of the dynamic that inspired the civilization in the first place, a successful replacement of the original dynamic by another, or the decline of the civilization. In sum, the issue for a civilization in a civilizational moment is its vision of ultimate reality: Is the civilization in living touch with the ideas, ideals, and inspiration that created it in the first place and that it needs to continue to flourish? Or, with its roots severed, is it destined to decline and die? Guinness's analysis is wide-ranging and hard-hitting, but he ends with hope. This book is for all who care about the state of the world, who strive for a human-friendly future, and who are ready to make a stand for what matters. MORE ABOUT OS GUINNESS Os Guinness is an author and social critic. Great-great-great grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer, he was born in China in World War Two where his parents were medical missionaries. A witness to the climax of the Chinese revolution in 1949, he was expelled with many other foreigners in 1951 and returned to Europe where he was educated in England. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of London and his D.Phil in the social sciences from Oriel College, Oxford. Os has written or edited more than thirty books, including The Call, Time for Truth, Unspeakable, A Free People's Suicide, and The Global Public Square. His latest book, Last Call for Liberty: How America's Genius for Freedom Has Become Its Greatest Threat, was published in 2018. Since moving to the United States in 1984, Os has been a Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies, a Guest Scholar and Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum and the EastWest Institute in New York. He was the lead drafter of the Williamsburg Charter in 1988, a celebration of the bicentennial of the US Constitution, and later of “The Global Charter of Conscience,” which was published at the European Union Parliament in 2012. Os has spoken at many of the world's major universities, and spoken widely to political and business conferences across the world. He lives with his wife Jenny in the Washington DC area.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party has violent origins and history and remains a violent entity today. Democrats promote violence through propaganda, fearmongering, and policies like allowing violent felons to vote, open borders that invite cartels and terrorists, and embracing Marxism and Islamism. The Democrats persist in labeling President Trump as Hitler, a dictator, and a threat to democracy despite two assassination attempts on him. This party trashes the Constitution, law enforcement and America's founding, while importing enemies, teaching revolution in universities, and using illegal immigration for political power. Also, Jimmy Kimmel's a fraud, phony, and selfish punk for making provocative, unfounded statements linking MAGA supporters and Charlie Kirk's TPUSA to a political assassination. This wasn't a free speech issue, as no government intervention occurred—unlike historical examples under presidents like Wilson or FDR—and a private company like ABC has every right to fire him for such remarks. Later, language serves primarily as a tool for communication. Pursuing and maintaining negative power involves negative communication techniques such as manipulation, deception, repetition, deceit, concealment, distraction, and fearmongering. This uses intimidating, self-serving, orchestrated language to arouse prejudices, stifle independent thought, and control populations without moral constraints, viewing morality as relative or an abstract cover for societal flaws. This is what the Democrat Party is doing today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Democrats, the media, and some Republicans are portraying President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and the Constitution, but it's the opposite. Democratic Congress members, isolationist fake MAGA figures, Marxists, and Islamists are plotting to destroy American principles and the country, while being promoted by left-wing corporate media. President Trump is taking decisive action on Russia and has made it clear he'll do even more if necessary—unlike the weak, inconsistent leadership we've seen from others. His foreign policy is firm and strategic, echoing the strength of President Reagan, and he's done more to support Ukraine and NATO than President Biden ever dared. It's shocking that Sen Tim Kaine's said that our rights come from government, which is a Marxist and buffoonish view. The Declaration of Independence's concept of unalienable rights from God is rooted in eternal truths and the Judeo-Christian tradition. Kaine rejects the American founding, which is based on divine sovereignty bestowed on individuals. Kaine's view is emblematic of the Democratic Party, which rejects America, embraces Marxism and Islamism, and supports initiatives like the 1619 Project. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, it's shocking that Sen Tim Kaine's said that our rights come from government, which is a Marxist and buffoonish view. The Declaration of Independence's concept of unalienable rights from God is rooted in eternal truths and the Judeo-Christian tradition. Kaine rejects the American founding, which is based on divine sovereignty bestowed on individuals. Kaine's view is emblematic of the Democratic Party, which rejects America, embraces Marxism and Islamism, and supports initiatives like the 1619 Project. Chapter 5 of On Power says that human rights, liberty, and equality are inherent, God-given through natural law, predating and transcending governments, as affirmed in the Declaration of Independence and echoed in state declarations like Virginia's. These views, shared by Founders such as Jefferson, Mason, Franklin, and Adams, emphasize governments' role in securing these unalienable rights via consent of the governed. In contrast, 19th-century philosophers like Hegel and Marx—influencing modern progressives, American Marxists, and figures like Woodrow Wilson—reject these principles, creating an irreconcilable clash of worldviews at the core of ongoing power struggles, where liberty depends on rights preceding government. Also, anonymous judges are complaining about the Supreme Court to NBC News. They say that the Court overturns lower rulings on Trump administration cases with insufficient explanations, undermining judicial integrity amid rising threats and criticisms from Trump allies. These judges are cowards and activists, and the NBC article is propaganda. Later, Robert Kennedy Jr. fought back in the latest hearing. Democrat Senators refused to let him answer a question. They hate him because he rejected them. Finally, Trey Gowdy calls in to discuss his new book, The Color of Death: A Novel. The story follows assistant DA Colm Truesdale, who, after losing his wife and daughter, becomes apathetic about life but excels in his prosecutorial role. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats, the media, and some Republicans are portraying President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and the Constitution, but it's the opposite. Democratic Congress members, isolationist fake MAGA figures, Marxists, and Islamists are plotting to destroy American principles and the country, while being promoted by left-wing corporate media. Rep Rashida Tlaib is the enemy within, an Islamist who supports Hamas and seeks to destroy America. She was at the People's Conference for Palestine, where she asserts Palestinians are "just getting started," and accuses "genocide enablers.” The speakers at this conference are part of the hate America crowd, undermining the U.S. from within. Also, not all young people in America are problematic, but there's a significant portion who succumb to Marxist propaganda—often intertwined with Islamist rhetoric and issues like climate change—blaming systemic issues like capitalism, racism, or billionaires for personal shortcomings rather than taking responsibility. Life demands hard work, accountability, and individualism, and true freedom shouldn't require others' enslavement through taxes or systemic upheaval. Later, over Labor Day weekend in Chicago at least 58 people were shot, including 8 fatalities and a drive-by wounding 7 victims. This is happening while Governor Pritzker claims crime is down. The Democratic Party is siding with criminals and offering no real solutions. Now Chicago Brandon Johnson is claiming Trump is “militarizing” Chicago. Did Ike "militarize" our schools when he federalized the National Guard in 1957 to escort black students into Central High School? Of course not! The governor refused to allow the students safe passage into the school and blocked them from entering the school. Trump is not "militarizing" Chicago. He wants to ensure the people there are safe while the mayor and the governor are failing horribly and people are literally dying. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
