Host Cody Cook sits down with Patrick Carroll, a sharp libertarian opinion journalist based near Toronto whose writing appears in outlets like the Mises Institute, Libertarian Institute, AIER, and FEE (where he once served as managing editor). Carroll's Substack, Against the Left, regularly dismantles progressive arguments from a free-market vantage point—and this conversation dives deep into one of his most provocative pieces: “Why SNAP Spending Should Be Cut Even If Charity Doesn't Replace It.”The episode centers on the dramatic events of late 2025, when a record-breaking U.S. government shutdown stretched into its second month. By early November, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) faced a funding lapse. The Department of Agriculture announced that the roughly $100 billion annual program—serving about 42 million Americans, or one in eight—would not issue full November benefits. Chaos ensued: food banks reported overwhelming demand, long lines formed, and media stories highlighted desperate families suddenly without their usual grocery support.Left-leaning commentator Carl Beijer seized on the crisis in a Jacobin piece, declaring it definitive proof that private charity cannot substitute for state welfare. Overwhelmed pantries and panicked recipients, he argued, exposed the fantasy of market-based solutions replacing government safety nets.Carroll pushes back hard. He concedes the short-term strain on food banks but argues the episode reveals more about SNAP's overreach than charity's inadequacy. With little advance certainty (the shutdown's duration remained a day-to-day uncertainty), private organizations had scant time to scale. Yet many still responded impressively—businesses like DoorDash offered free meals, churches and local groups rallied, and some food banks pivoted quickly. Had there been months of clear notice, Carroll contends, the charitable response would have been far stronger.More controversially, he challenges the scale of need SNAP addresses. Citing a 2021 USDA study, he notes that 39% of recipients are obese, 26% overweight, 33% normal weight, and only 3% underweight. This, he says, shatters the media stereotype of widespread starvation and suggests the program subsidizes far beyond genuine hardship—often enabling poor lifestyle choices rather than preventing famine.Carroll proposes an initial 50% cut, returning spending to roughly 2007 levels after years of ballooning budgets. He acknowledges “food insecurity” statistics (around 13% of Americans) but critiques their definitions, which can include anyone who occasionally buys cheaper groceries or skips a preferred item—hardly a crisis justifying $100 billion annually.The discussion turns philosophical and theological. Carroll invokes the “negative contact hypothesis”: while meeting marginalized groups often reduces prejudice, direct exposure to many in poverty can erode naive sympathy when observers see patterns of self-inflicted hardship—addiction, unwise relationships, financial irresponsibility. Anecdotes from YouTuber Caleb Hammer's Financial Audit series reinforce this, as do studies showing that more well-off people's support for redistribution weakens after real contact with the poor.From a Christian libertarian perspective, Carroll emphasizes voluntary generosity over state coercion. Jesus warned against lording authority over others (Matthew 20); early Christians practiced communal sharing without petitioning Caesar for taxes. He praises historical mutual-aid societies and modern examples like Mormon welfare systems as superior, more personal, and non-coercive alternatives to centralized bureaucracy.Addressing bleeding-heart objections, Carroll entertains the sequencing argument: enact free-market reforms (deregulation, free trade, ending occupational licensing and minimum wage barriers) first to boost opportunity and reduce poverty, then phase out welfare. He's sympathetic but rejects indefinite delay—some cuts can and should happen now without catastrophe, especially given SNAP's questionable targeting.This episode is bold, data-driven, and unapologetically challenging. It refuses easy compassion narratives, forces listeners to grapple with uncomfortable stats, and calls Christians to prioritize peaceful, voluntary charity over state redistribution. Whether you bristle or cheer, it's a thought-provoking case for rethinking welfare in a free and faithful society.Links:Patrick's SubstackPatrick's piece Why SNAP Spending Should Be Cut Even If Charity Doesn't Replace ItPatrick's Twitter/X: https://x.com/PatrickC1995David Beito's book From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State: Fraternal Societies and Social Services, 1890-1967Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode I talk about my goal for lent of taming my tongue. I discuss the controversy surrounding Lent and why sincere spiritual development should not be a cause for Christian division, how I intentionally work on growing in an area of weakness during Lent every year, and why I chose to focus on controlling my speech. I have been reading Ephesians 4:29 every day, which reads “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear”. I challenge everyone to strive for spiritual growth.

In this episode I talk with Gary DeMar, a Biblical scholar, long-time president of American Vision, and host of the Gary DeMar show. Gary discusses eschatology and economics. He explains his own eschatological perspective, preterism, which is the belief that many of the Biblical prophecies were fulfilled in the first century. We discuss the difference between partial and full preterism, Matthew 24 (and parallels) the antichrist of 1 and 2 John compared with the ‘man of lawlessness' from 2 Thessalonians 2, Daniel and Revelation, and what the future holds for believers. Gary then explains why Christians should take economics seriously and why so many Christians misunderstand free market economics.  Media Referenced:American Vision Website: https://americanvision.org/Check out The Gary DeMar Show on all podcast platforms!Episode on the Antichrists: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-237-the-antichrists/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Une semaine après le début du conflit déclenché par Israël et les États-Unis, on constate la difficulté d'informer depuis l'Iran. Les Iraniens eux-mêmes ont accès à une information extrêmement verrouillée. Si l'une des cibles des frappes de la coalition israélo-américaine a été le siège de la radio-télévision d'État, ce n'est évidemment pas un hasard. Il s'agit d'empêcher la propagande iranienne de se déployer à plein régime auprès de la population alors même que, selon l'observatoire Netblocks, Internet ne fonctionne plus qu'à 1 % de sa capacité habituelle en Iran. Cela signifie qu'un black-out est imposé, et ce depuis les massacres de manifestants en décembre. Les journalistes indépendants en particulier ont le plus grand mal à se connecter et à photographier ou à filmer les lieux des bombardements. Leurs images peuvent être effacées, ils peuvent même être détenus si l'on juge qu'ils portent atteinte à la République islamique. À lire aussiGuerre au Moyen-Orient: les images artificielles saturent l'espace informationnel Peu de couverture médiatique de la guerre du point de vue iranien Il suffit de regarder la surface médiatique de Saviosh Ghazi, correspondant de RFI et de France 24 à Téhéran depuis 1998. Outre les médias du service public, il assure la correspondance des chaînes BFMTV et LCI, car il y a pour ces médias très peu de moyens de prendre le pouls de la population iranienne. C'est lui par exemple qui a annoncé, à la suite des médias officiels, le bombardement de l'école de filles de Minab, près du détroit d'Ormuz, qui a fait 168 morts selon l'Iran. Un bilan qui semble confirmé, des images d'une centaine de tombes creusées ayant pu être authentifiées, même si des médias de l'opposition iranienne ont prétendu à tort que c'était une manipulation médiatique. Les médias occidentaux peuvent aussi compter sur leur cellule de vérification, comme les « Observateurs » sur France 24, mais aussi sur les agences de presse. L'AFP dispose de cinq personnes sur place à Téhéran, ainsi que d'un desk Iran avec des experts à son siège parisien.

Mais on trouve aussi énormément de vidéos fabriquées par l'IA qui interviennent dans un espace où la modération s'est beaucoup étiolée.

I had the flu and Streamyard defaulted to my computer microphone, so I apologize for my voice! In this episode I discuss Paul's comments in Ephesians 1:15-23, particularly 1:20-22, that Jesus by virtue of his resurrection, ascension, and enthronement currently rules over all authorities and that the church shares in his cosmic victory. We discuss the major themes of Ephesians, particularly Christ and the church, and how Paul believes that those who have received the Spirit through faith in Israel's Messiah are now members of God's eschatological family. Jesus has already been installed as the cosmic king, and the list of powers over which Jesus is “far above” includes both earthy political rulers and malevolent spiritual powers. I look at two Greek terms Paul uses in Ephesians 1:21, arche and exousia, and show how their usage in other passages, notably 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 and Romans 13:1-3 clearly denote human political authorities. I conclude with some final thoughts about how the church must take Jesus's enthronement over all powers seriously.   Media Referenced:Government as God's Servant: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-243-government-is-gods-servant-romans-13-isaiah-10-and-jeremiah-25/Cody Cook on Paul and evil forces: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-245-galatians-41-7-and-deliverance-from-this-evil-age-with-cody-cook/  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Economist and author Bryan Caplan returns to discuss his latest book, You Have No Right to Your Culture. Bryan explains why genuine “cultural preservation” would require totalitarian control over children and future generations, why most cultural change comes from generational shifts rather than immigration, and why appeals to a “right to culture” only seem to appear when immigrants are involved.Doug and Bryan dig into Western civilization's global influence (“Westtoxification”), the rapid cultural transformations in places like the UAE and Japan, and whether Western culture is really “under attack” or simply winning the world by passing the market test. They contrast perceived threats from immigration with the rise of critical theory and “wokeness,” and Bryan lays out his famous “Caplan compromise” on open borders—keyhole solutions like limiting welfare and voting while radically expanding migration.The conversation also covers:What Bryan actually means by “culture” and why you don't have a right to others practicing yoursWhy true cultural preservation implies a deeply totalitarian mindsetWestern civ, liberalism, and how the Enlightenment reshaped bothColonialism, anti‑colonialism, and why peace often matters more than political controlWhy fears of a coordinated partisan “open borders” plot are largely fantasyCohesion, “turning the other cheek,” and how to actually build social peace in a diverse societyBryan's debate strategy as the “passive‑aggressive Jesus”Lightning round: best meal, most overrated destination, surprising cultural practices, and dream dinner guestsAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

This episode is a recording of a debate I had with Jacob Winograd in the fall of 2025 about whether history or theology should take priority in Biblical interpretation. I argue that our starting point for Biblical exegesis must be the historical context of Scripture while Jacob defends the need to think about the text theologically. Both of us maintain that history and theology are important.

In this episode I explore the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15:1-7 in which Jesus, directly responding to his critics, explains how his audience would leave ninety-nine sheep in the pasture to find one who had wondered from the flock, rejoicing when the wayward sheep is found. Jesus isn't telling a simple pastoral parable about God's grace, but drawing on powerful imagery from the Old Testament prophets, particularly Jeremiah 23:1-2 and Ezekiel 34, about the wicked shepherds of Israel who had led God's people astray and the promise that God would rescue his people from the curse of the covenant by sending a good shepherd, the promised son of David, to rescue the whole house of Israel. Luke believes the promises are being fulfilled in Jesus, the son of David bringing about the kingdom of God. I also discuss the need for Christians to keep wicked political leaders, modern false shepherds, at arm's length and how the modern nation-state called ‘Israel' only comprises members of two of the twelve tribes of Biblical Israel, meaning it is in no way a fulfillment of God's promises in the prophets.  Media Referenced:Mark 10 and Political Assumptions: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-244-mark-10-wrecks-modern-economic-and-political-assumptions/ Government is God's Servant: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-243-government-is-gods-servant-romans-13-isaiah-10-and-jeremiah-25/ Old Testament Prophecy w/ John Walton: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-109-understanding-old-testament-prophecy-with-john-walton/  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

In a more theology-heavy discussion, the Libertarian Christian Podcast welcomed guest Rev. Nicholas Quient, pastor and New Testament PhD candidate, for a deep dive into apocalyptic theology in Pauline studies.Quient contrasts the traditional Lutheran/Reformed view of Paul (individual justification and guilt), the New Perspective (covenantal nomism and Jew-Gentile unity), and the apocalyptic Paul—which sees the Christ event as God's invasive victory over enslaving cosmic powers, sin, and death, ushering in new creation amid the overlapping present evil age.This episode explores how this framework emphasizes liberation, principalities and powers, and Christ's sovereignty, as well as its implications for libertarian thought: Paul's sharp distinction between the church (allegiant to King Jesus) and the wicked worldly powers.Nick's book: https://amzn.to/4sySXzLNick's X profile: @nickquient Nick's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nttheologistYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickQuient Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

David Abiker reçoit aujourd'hui Ruth Elkrief, éditorialiste politique à LCI, et Nicolas Beytout, président fondateur du quotidien L'Opinion afin de décrypter les répercussions politiques des récents événements survenus à Lyon. Ils apportent leur expertise et leur regard avisé sur cette situation complexe.Les invités analysent les réactions, ou plutôt l'absence de réactions, de la gauche politique face à la violence qui a éclaté lors de la manifestation à Lyon. Olivier Faure, secrétaire du Parti socialiste, est notamment épinglé pour son mutisme, ne condamnant que la « complaisance » de La France insoumise avec la violence, sans aller jusqu'à reconnaître une quelconque responsabilité directe.Cette analyse met en lumière une fracture profonde au sein de la gauche française, avec l'émergence de trois courants irréconciliables : l'extrême gauche incarnée par La France insoumise, qui refuse catégoriquement toute forme de responsabilité ; une partie du Parti socialiste et des Verts, qui semblent prêts à s'allier avec LFI malgré les dérives ; et enfin une « gauche morale », qui refuse désormais toute compromission avec un parti qu'elle juge trop radical et violent.Nos Esprits Libres du jour s'interrogent alors sur l'appartenance de La France insoumise à l'« arc républicain », un concept remis en question par les événements. Ils évoquent l'émergence d'un nouveau positionnement « Ni-Ni », ni avec le Rassemblement national, ni avec LFI, qui pourrait bouleverser les alliances traditionnelles lors des prochaines élections.Au-delà de ces considérations politiques, l'épisode aborde également la question des minutes de silence observées à l'Assemblée nationale, qui semblent se multiplier, suscitant des interrogations sur leur pertinence et leur instrumentalisation potentielle.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode I talk with Cody Cook about his new book Delivered from This Present Evil Age where he argues that Galatians 4:1-7 portrays Christ defeating the spiritual powers which enslave humanity and inaugurating a new creation in which ethnic, national, and political divisions are abolished through Jesus. He discusses the influence of the apocalyptic school of Pauline interpretation on his work, the importance of Paul's opening statement in Galatians 1:3-4 that Jesus has “rescued us from this present evil age”, the wider context of Galatians, and how the stoicheia enslaved humanity before Christ. He then explains the dynamics of Galatians 4:1-7, the inauguration of the new creation, and its impact on Christian identity, revealing that Paul is effectively undercutting nationalism, ethnic divisions, and political identities. We then have a conversation about our differing interpretations of the Paul within Judaism and apocalyptic schools of Pauline interpretation and how we understand the role of the Law in the new creation.  Media Referenced:https://anarchistanabaptist.com/https://www.cantus-firmus.com/Cody on X: @CantusFirmusCCDelivered From the Evil Age of the Present: https://a.co/d/0gGK466vCody on Annihilationism: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-238-hell-yes-or-hell-no-annihilationism-vs-ect-with-cody-cook/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Depuis l'annonce vendredi que Quentin Deranque, un militant identitaire de 23 ans, a été grièvement blessé "en marge d'une conférence de Rima Hassan" à Sciences Po Lyon, le bruit médiatique est monté crescendo malgré le peu d'informations disponibles sur les circonstances du drame. La nouvelle de sa mort survenue dimanche n'a fait qu'accentuer les outrances des réactions politico-médiatiques. D'un récit euphémisant et souvent dépolitisé concernant le profil du jeune militant d'extrême droite, à une instrumentalisation massive visant à disqualifier et diaboliser la France Insoumise, retour sur les trois premiers jours d'un emballement médiatique inédit.

Doug Stuart interviews Caleb Franz, author of The Conductor: The Story of Reverend John Rankin, Abolitionism's Essential Founding Father. Franz shares the fascinating story of how he discovered and researched this largely forgotten figure from his hometown of Ironton, Ohio. The conversation explores Rankin's pivotal role in the abolition movement, particularly in the Ohio River Valley—a region often overlooked in abolitionist history that typically centers on New England.Franz discusses Rankin's theological arguments against slavery, his work on the Underground Railroad helping thousands of enslaved people escape to freedom, and his profound influence on key historical figures including Harriet Beecher Stowe (whose "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was inspired by Rankin's letters) and Ulysses S. Grant (who studied under Rankin before attending West Point). The episode delves into the research process behind writing historical biography, the intersection of faith and liberty in the abolition movement, and how Rankin's Christian convictions drove his radical opposition to slavery from the 1820s through the Civil War era.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode I explore the economic and political consequences of two passages in Mark 10. I explain how modern progressive and conservative Christians implicitly assume the nineteenth-century nation state model of political authoritarianism while undervaluing the role of the New Testament for ethical transformation. The church is supposed to be shaped by the teachings of Jesus, and we cannot explain them away. I return to the story of the Rich Young Ruler in Mark 10:17-27, showing how Jesus allows the man to walk away with his possessions. Jesus doesn't follow after him or attempt to confiscate his property through political coercion but prophetically announces eschatological judgement.

This week we welcome Hannah McGowan back to the show to talk about her transition from improviser to stand-up comedian. Hannah joins Iain to explore how her improv background continues to give her an edge when performing stand-up, from thinking on her feet to connecting with an audience in the moment. It's been five years since Hannah first appeared on the podcast, and a lot has changed in that time. This episode is a chance to reconnect, reflect, and find out what she's been up to since we last spoke, as well as digging into the similarities and differences between improv and stand-up along the way. So grab a brew, sit back, relax, and enjoy a thoughtful and entertaining chat about comedy, confidence and finding your voice on stage.

In this episode, Cody Cook interviews Joel Miller, author of The Idea Machine: How Books Built Our World and Shape Our Future.A former publishing executive, Miller reveals how books—far more than mere containers of text—have profoundly shaped civilization. He explores the "magic" of their physical form (which enabled Augustine's transformative encounter with Romans) the timeless dialogues they allow with dead thinkers like Paul and Athanasius, and the preservation of classical knowledge by monks and Muslim scholars.The conversation highlights pivotal moments: Charlemagne's reforms that spread readable texts, the printing press's role in supercharging the Reformation and scientific progress, and literacy's liberating power—even as slaveholders banned it to maintain control.Miller also reflects on modern trade-offs: digital Bibles, AI tools, and the enduring value of books in freeing us from the tyranny of the present while building on centuries of accumulated wisdom.Perfect for anyone who loves history, ideas, and the quiet revolution of reading.Links:The Idea Machine: How Books Built Our World and Shape Our FutureBad Trip: How the War Against Drugs is Destroying AmericaSize Matters: How Big Government Puts the Squeeze on America's Families, Finances, and FreedomMiller's Book Review (Joel's Substack)The Full Focus Planner Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

Depuis quelques années, le nombre d'incidents graves dans les collèges et lycées est en nette augmentation, soit +31 % entre 2018 et 2024. Un enseignant, aujourd'hui, n'est plus seulement un transmetteur de savoir : il doit aussi endosser le rôle de psychologue, rester sur ses gardes et repérer les profils d'élèves fragiles ou dangereux. Ruth Elkrief pense que le métier de professeur est devenu tellement dangereux. Ils vivent dans une insécurité permanente et dans une forme de solitude. Un accord entre Cuba et l'Union soviétique constituait un pilier central de la survie économique de l'île. Après la révolution castriste, Cuba a été privé du pétrole russe. L'effondrement du glacis soviétique a eu de lourdes conséquences et les Cubains se sont rapidement réorganisés pour contourner les pénuries. Pascal Perri, témoin de cette réorganisation, raconte son vécu sur LCI. La Journée mondiale du hijab est célébrée chaque 1er février depuis 2013. Elle a été fondée par Nazma Khan, une Américaine d'origine bangladaise. Son objectif est de normaliser le port du hijab et de favoriser la tolérance religieuse. Abnousse Shalmani a réagi au message de Zohran Mamdani, maire de New York, en affirmant que si l'héritage musulman se résume au voile, c'est que nous sommes franchement mal.

Ruth Elkrief, éditorialiste à LCI, et Nicolas Beytout, directeur de L'Opinion, décryptent le réquisitoire prononcé par le parquet à l'encontre de Marine Le Pen et ses conséquences sur le Rassemblement National, notamment pour Jordan Bardella. Ils évoquent les défis d'unité et de cohésion auxquels il devra faire face, entre les différentes sensibilités au sein de son parti, notamment sur les questions économiques.Un autre sujet majeur abordé est la situation à Paris, où la droite peine à s'unir derrière une candidature unique pour les municipales à venir. Nicolas Beytout parle de la "droite la plus bête du monde" avec les ambitions personnelles de Rachida Dati et Pierre-Yves Bournazel qui semblent l'emporter sur l'intérêt du rassemblement. Ils soulignent également la montée en puissance des candidats des extrêmes, qui pourraient bousculer les équilibres traditionnels.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode I discuss Paul's statements in Romans 13:1-7 that governing authorities “are established by God” (Rm. 13:1) and that “rulers are servants of God” (13:6). I explain the need to understand the function of Romans 13 before drawing any conclusions regarding its meaning, and how it must correspond with the rhetorical context of Romans and Paul's thought generally. I then explore the promises of a coming Messiah made in the Old Testament, particularly 2 Samuel 7, and argue that Paul believes those promises have been fulfilled in Christ. I then examine two passages in the Old Testament in which the prophets refer to pagan emperors as “servants of God”. In Isaiah 10, the Assyrians are God's servants for the purpose of punishing Israel but will be destroyed, and in Jeremiah 25 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, also execute God's justice before being himself judged by God. The final two oracles of woe in Jeremiah 50-51 envision the destruction of Babylon, and both Isaiah and Jeremiah proclaim the future day when David's house will be restored and a Davidic king will sit on the throne forever. Paul knows this tradition and is not legitimizing human government as an eternally valid institution. In fact, Paul is suggesting, ala 2 Corinthians 2:6-8, that time is running out for the authorities believers must pragmatically obey.  Media Referenced:Everyone is Wrong about Romans 13 episode: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-130-everyone-is-wrong-about-romans-13-including-me/ Ascension, Kingdom, and Eschatology: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-235-ascension-kingdom-and-eschatology/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Doug welcomes back returning guest Jim Babka for a libertarian Christian deep dive into Donald Trump's “second first year” in office. They walk through key events from 2025–26 and ask what they reveal about power, symbolism, and the state.Topics include:Why Trump's second term feels so different from his first, and how anger and “getting even” seem to shape his decisionsThe Iran bunker‑busting strike and what it says about the myth of Trump as a “peace president”The push to buy Greenland, the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, and how Trump uses symbolism and deal‑making theatricsICE's shocking tactics as “terror theater” to drive self‑deportation and deter migrationWhy Jim argues the Epstein files are thedefining story of 2025:How Congress slow‑walked and then quietly passed the disclosure lawHow the administration has violated it with redactions and delaysWhat the limited releases already reveal about Epstein's roles in intelligence, arms, and under‑the‑table influenceHow the Epstein issue is uniquely damaging Trump in the pollsAlong the way, Doug and Jim connect these developments to memetic theory, the deep state, Zionist influence, and the fragility of American faith in both church and state.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

This episode features a debate I had with Cody Cook on LCI's Greenroom, moderated by Jacob Winograd, where Cody and I debate whether libertarianism is compatible a right-wing or left-wing phenomenon. I take the position that modern libertarianism should rightly be classified as right-wing while Cody argues it is more compatible with left-wing ideology.

In this episode I talk with Cody Libolt, writer, podcaster, and co-author of the new book Redeeming the West: A Christian Defense of Reason and Individualism. Cody defines both ‘reason' and ‘individualism', demonstrating how these terms are often misused in modern discourse.

C dans l'air du vendredi 23 janvier 2026 - Face à Trump, Macron dégaine la stratégie Top Gun"On entend que la France soit respectée, que l'Europe soit respectée". Le message est clair et a été porté par Emmanuel Macron. Le président de la République a incarné la contre-offensive après des menaces d'invasion du Groenland et des pressions tarifaires provenant de Donald Trump.Dans une réponse au président américain, Emmanuel Macron a appelé à préférer "le respect" et "l'état de droit" aux "brutes" sans "perdre son temps avec des idées folles". Un discours remarqué et amplifié par la paire de lunettes d'aviateur, que le locataire de l'Elysée arbore depuis quelques jours en raison d'un problème oculaire. Un accessoire inattendu, symbole de la rébellion face aux Etats-Unis.Une autre figure politique s'est fermement opposée aux agissements du président américain : le Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney. Lors d'un discours au Forum économique Mondial, en Suisse, ce dernier a pointé la fracture de l'ordre mondial et appelé les "puissances moyennes" à s'unir pour faire face aux forces "hégémoniques". Donald Trump a depuis annoncé retirer son invitation à rejoindre son "Conseil de paix".Donald Trump serait-il devenu un modèle encombrant ? En France, cette crise diplomatique pourrait notamment pousser le Rassemblement national à revoir sa ligne vis-à-vis du président américain. Au Parlement européen, le président du parti Jordan Bardella a exhorté la France et l'UE au "rapport de force" face à Donald Trump et son "chantage tarifaire".Les multiples attaques de Trump semblent également plonger les extrêmes droites européennes dans l'embarras. En Italie, Giorgia Meloni, principale alliée américaine en Europe, se voit reprocher le fait de minimiser le conflit avec les États-Unis. En Hongrie, Victor Orban s'est lui montré plus discret notamment sur la question du Groenland.Face aux menaces de guerre commerciale proférées par le président des Etats-Unis, l'entreprise Fermob a pris les devants. Afin de se prémunir des taxes potentielles, le fabricant de mobilier français a choisi d'augmenter son stock outre-Atlantique. Mais à long terme, la situation ne devrait pas faire les affaires de ce spécialiste du mobilier d'extérieur.Comment l'Europe peut-elle lutter face à la volonté d'expansionnisme américain ? Donald Trump serait-il devenu un modèle encombrant pour ses alliés européens ? Quel impact des taxes douanières américaines sur les entreprises françaises ?Nos experts :- Dominique TRINQUAND, ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, auteur "D'un monde à l'autre" chez Robert Lafont- Dominique SEUX, éditorialiste aux Echos et sur France Inter, auteur de l'ouvrage « Les débats de l'éco" chez Plon- Mélissa BELL, journaliste, correspondante à Paris - CNN- Anne TOULOUSE, journaliste franco-américaine, auteure de "L'art de Trumper", est publié aux éditions du Rocher- Sonia DRIDI, correspondante aux États-Unis pour LCI et France 24, en direct depuis Washington

In this episode David Beito and Phil Saunders debate Walter Block on the Israel/Palestine conflict. David and Phil defend the proposition that a Swiss-style canton model of government could resolve the conflict, offering a decentralized political arrangement which incentivizes cooperation and economic growth. Walter Block thinks the Palestinians are to blame for the conflict and need to be removed from the land. Dr. David Beito is a professional historian and proposed the Swiss-canton model. Phil Saunders lives on the border between Israel and Palestine and works for several peace-promoting NGOs. Walter Block is an accomplished Austrian economist and author of numerous books and articles.  Media Referenced:David Beito on FDR: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-229-the-real-fdr-with-david-beito/David Beito on the New Deal: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-118-the-new-deals-war-on-the-bill-of-rights-with-david-beito/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

C dans l'air l'invité du 14 janvier 2026 avec Nicolas Domenach, chroniqueur politique, éditorialiste à Challenges et LCI, co-auteur de "Néron à l'Elysée", aux éditions Albin Michel."C'est l'histoire d'un homme exceptionnel... qui s'est exceptionnellement planté !". C'est ainsi que l'ouvrage se présente. L'histoire d'un président, Emmanuel Macron, "fulgurant dans la conquête, incertain puis catastrophique dans l'exercice du pouvoir". Les auteurs révèlent les coulisses des mandats Macron, de son affrontement incessant avec le chef du premier syndicat de France, Laurent Berger, à sa confrontation musclée avec François Bayrou, qui va l'amener à Matignon. Ils décrivent un président, enfermé à l'Élysée, fâché avec la plupart de ses anciens ministres, et qui n'arrive pas à reprendre le contrôle de la situation.Le duo fait remonter à la réélection du 24 avril 2022 le déraillement de la machine. Un triomphe sans gloire et, deux mois plus tard, la perte de la majorité à l'Assemblée nationale, les prémices d'une « descente aux enfers » du résident de l'Elysée. Puis il y aura la dissolution, cette "histoire de fous", décrétée deux ans plus tard, en juin 2024, et dont le pays n'a pas fini de subir les conséquences. Au cœur de ce réquisitoire, Nicolas Domenach et Maurice Szafran n'ont pu résister à la tentation de rapprocher Macron de Néron, « des incendiaires fascinés par les feux de société qu'ils allument ».

O Come Emmanuel is often treated like a peaceful Christmas hymn, but its message is far more restless than we remember. In this belated Christmas episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd explores how the song reflects Israel's longing, Christian exile, and the tension of a kingdom that has come but is not yet fully realized.Christmas is not only about celebration; it is also about waiting. It is about living between promise and fulfillment, between Christ's victory and the world's resistance. Rather than escaping that tension or trying to solve it with political power, this episode calls Christians to embrace faithful hope, resist false kingdoms, and remain anchored in the reign of Christ.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode Dr. Dru Johnson returns to discuss his new book Understanding Biblical Law: Skills for Thinking Through and With the Torah, out now on Baker. Dr. Johnson explains how modern people have misunderstood the Law, reading it through our contemporary legal and theological frameworks, and busts several myths about Biblical Law. We then explore how the Law must be understood in in ancient legal context, how intersects with narrative, its role in community formation, its movement from specific instances to general principle, and its overall concern with righteousness and human wellbeing. We also discuss the need to understand the Law in its ancient context, its impact on New Testament interpretation, and its enduring relevance for Christians today. Media Referenced:Understanding Biblical Law: https://a.co/d/ccRVa7UDru on X: @Dru_JohnsonOnScript Podcast: https://onscript.study/Biblical Mind Podcast: https://thebiblicalmind.org/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Le procès en appel dans l'affaire des assistants parlementaires européen du FN devenu RN s'ouvre ce mardi 13 janvier pour un mois. Condamnée en première instance à quatre ans de prison dont deux avec sursis et 100 000 euros d'amende pour détournement de fonds publics, Marine Le Pen a vu sa sanction assortie d'une peine d'inéligibilité de cinq ans avec exécution provisoire, c'est-à-dire avec application immédiate.La décision de la cour d'appel sera déterminante : en cas de confirmation du jugement de première instance, la cheffe de file du RN pourrait devoir laisser Jordan Bardella se présenter à la présidentielle à sa place. Alors en quoi ce second procès pourrait-il être différent du premier ? Marine Le Pen va-t-elle se défendre différemment ? Et dans quelle mesure l'hypothèse d'une candidature de Jordan Bardella se précise-t-elle pour la présidentielle de 2027 ?On fait le point dans Code source aujourd'hui avec deux journalistes du Parisien, Alexandre Sulzer, qui couvre le RN au sein du service politique, et Timothée Boutry, spécialiste police justice.

Francis Hallé nous a quitté. Je vous propose de réécouter le podcast que nous avions enregistré en octobre 2022, consacré aussi à son projet de création d'une forêt primaire en Europe de l'Ouest. Un entretien qui fait du bien !*******Francis Hallé est un éminent botaniste et un biologiste, spécialiste des arbres et des forêts tropicales. Il a sillonné le monde entier, et est connu pour avoir inventé le radeau des cimes, une nacelle qui permet d'étudier la canopée des forêts. Pour ce podcast, il est accompagné d'Eric Fabre, secrétaire général de l'Association Francis Hallé pour la Forêt Primaire. Ensemble, ils portent un projet : créer une forêt primaire en Europe de l'Ouest. (05:55) Une forêt primaire, c'est une forêt qui n'a jamais été exploitée, ni modifiée de façon quelconque par l'homme, c'est un sommet de la biodiversité. Il n'en existe presque plus en Europe, elles ont toutes été détruites depuis 1850, la dernière qui subsiste est en Pologne, c'est la forêt de Bialowieza qui est elle-même en danger. Ce projet va s'étendre sur plusieurs siècles. Pour Francis Hallé, c'est le projet de sa vie. Aujourd'hui, l'Association cherche un terrain de 70 000 hectares, l'équivalent de l'île de Minorque, plusieurs pistes sont à l'étude dont les Vosges ou encore les Ardennes belges et françaises (10:40). On écouterait parler des heures Francis Hallé, il nous décrit la beauté de la forêt primaire et de ses arbres. Pourquoi ? (07:09) Parce qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'être un spécialiste pour apprécier la beauté, dit-il, c'est pourquoi il en parle souvent. Pourtant, quand il était étudiant, il était interdit de parler de beauté, de faire appel à cette sensibilité, présente pourtant en chacun de nous. Aujourd'hui, il se venge et bientôt, il sortira un nouvel ouvrage sur « la beauté ». Dans ce podcast, vous trouverez aussi toute une sélection de lectures (34 :10) pour vous initier aux arbres et aux forêts, initier vos enfants également. On rêverait de se balader avec lui, lui qui connaît tout sur tout, la moindre feuille, la moindre plante, même au hasard d'un couloir de LCI. On l'interroge également sur l'engouement des Français pour les arbres, la nature : il s'en réjouit même s'il ne se l'explique pas complètement. Lui qui avait l'habitude de donner des conférences devant 15 personnes, aujourd'hui, elles font salle comble ! Vieux sage, il n'aime pas répondre à certaines questions (28:45), alors quand ça l'ennuie, il le dit et puis tant pis ! Peu importe, on apprend énormément à ses côtés, lui qui n'attend plus rien des politiques – des gens pas très intéressants - mais qui espère beaucoup des citoyens, voilà pourquoi il les appelle à le rejoindre au sein de son association pour mener ce beau projet jusqu'au bout. Belle écoute avec Impact Positif.Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

In this episode I am joined once again by the great Cody Cook, this time to discuss the recent controversy regarding Kirk Cameron's changing views of hell. Cameron defended the annihilationist position, also known as ‘conditional immortality', and castigated by many evangelicals who hold to eternal conscious torment. We talk about the fallout of Cameron's remarks and explain the differences between eternal conscious torment (ECT), annihilationism, and universalism. We then argue in favor of the annihilationist perspective, discussing the Biblical and theological evidence, and explain what is at stake in the debate.  Media Referenced:https://anarchistanabaptist.com/https://www.cantus-firmus.com/Cody on X: CantusFirmusCCClass on Hell: www.udemy.com/course/three-views-on-hell/Gospel of the Resurrection Book: https://a.co/d/fQjQSoGUniversalist Interview: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-124-hell-eternal-damnation-and-universalism-with-derek-kubilus/TPLP 212: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-212-why-anabaptists-arent-like-other-protestants-with-cody-cook/TPLP 183: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-183-anabaptist-anarchy-with-cody-cook/TPLP 155: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-155-christianity-and-nonviolence-with-cody-cook/  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

In this episode I discuss “the antichrists”, a group of people who appear exclusively in 1 and 2 John. John describes “the antichrists” in 1 John 2:18-25, 4:1-6, and 2 John 1:7-11. Despite many popular eschatological interpretations which a singular antichrist figure who signals the end of time, John specifically defines what he means by the term. The antichrists (John uses the plural) are literally “against Christ”; they were once a part of the believing community but chose to leave and are not an individual but rather a type of person. They are characterized by denying two beliefs: one, that Jesus is the Messiah, or “Christ” (hence antichrist) and two, denying that Jesus came in the flesh. The term ‘antichrist' appears nowhere else in the New Testament. I discuss how modern statist Christians are essentially denying the Messianic identity of Jesus, denying that which makes him Christ, and are in danger of following down the path of those John labels antichrists.    The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

What is real freedom, and why does it matter for how we live, think, and take responsibility for ourselves? In this episode, I sit down with Brent Freeman (@BGetsBetter) to explore anarchy, personal sovereignty, and what it might look like to build a free society from the ground up.We talk about whether a stateless order could be realistic, how health and mindset shape human behavior, and why decentralization appeals to so many people who are tired of political extremes. Along the way, I bring in what the Bible teaches about authority, justice, and the limits of human government, contrasting the Christian case for liberty with Brent's own perspective as someone outside the faith.If you're interested in how freedom intersects with culture, responsibility, and real-world incentives—not just theory—this is a conversation worth tuning in for.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this festive episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast, host Cody Cook and guest Jacqueline Isaacs unpack her viral 2011 article A Christmas Carol: A Capitalist Story. Despite Dickens' socialist leanings, the story he crafts actually depends on free markets—without Scrooge's wealth, there's no life-saving operation for Tiny Tim, no turkey for the Cratchits--no redemption arc at all. Isaacs argues capitalism isn't the villain; it's the stage. Even selfish Scrooge fuels prosperity via the “invisible hand,” while transformed Scrooge proves voluntary generosity trumps state poorhouses.Also: which political demographic are the modern day Scrooges? Does the Grinch make a case for commercialism? Which film adaptation of A Christmas Carol is the best? And the oft-forgotten anti-slavery verse in "O Holy Night." Don't get humbugged by socialist talking points--listen to this compelling conversation or else the Ghost of Christmases Libertarian might just come to pay you a visit tonight.Links referenced in this conversation:A Christmas Carol: A Capitalist StoryJacqueline Isaacs on X and Linkedin.The Institute for Faith, Work, & EconomicsJacqueline's Washington Times article "Seeing the People Behind Adam Smith's 'Invisible Hand'"Bellwether CommunicationsCalled to Freedom: Why You Can Be Christian and LibertarianAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★
