In this episode of the National Links Trust Podcast, our host, Will Smith, is joined by Geoff Shackelford. Geoff is one of golf's most influential writers having authored 11 books and with his work appearing in the Los Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, and more.  He is also the publisher of The Quadrilateral, a newsletter that covers the game through the lens of the four majors. Geoff teamed up with Gil Hanse to design Rustic Canyon Golf Course: one of Southern California's best public courses. He is a native Southern Californian and still resides in the greater Lost Angeles area today. In this interview, Geoff and Will discuss public golf in the greater Los Angeles area. They touch on the challenges and opportunities presented by the public and municipal courses in the area, as well as golf's role as Los Angeles recovers from the devastating fires earlier this winter. 

PRESS REVIEW – Friday, January 10: The Lebanese press reacts to parliament finally electing a new president – Joseph Aoun – after two years of deadlock. Also, as deadly fires destroy thousands of homes in Los Angeles, Donald Trump attempts to capitalise on the natural disaster for political gain. Plus, Novak Djokovic will begin his Australian Open campaign with a new coach: his former rival Andy Murray. Lebanon finally has a new president. After two long years and multiple failed attempts, the country was finally able to elect a new leader: Joseph Aoun. The former army commander is a respected figure. In the press, the satisfaction and relief are palpable. "Return of the state", says L'Orient-Le Jour with a picture of the presidential seat filled. The editor of the French-language Lebanese daily is cautiously optimistic. There is also stupefaction. The paper outlines how the country's lawmakers managed to do in two hours what they could not do in two years. The Arab-language Annahar also hails the return of the state but outlines the many challenges that lie ahead for Aoun moving forward. This includes, first and foremost, naming a government, which will be no easy feat. The pro-Hezbollah paper Al Akhbar is playing down Aoun's victory, calling him a president without a coalition and noting that Lebanon's deeply divisive political fractures are the reason it was unable to elect a president for two years.There is also lots of focus in the press on the deadly fires in Los Angeles that have destroyed nearly 10,000 homes. The British daily The Sun headlines "LOST ANGELES". The devastation of the worst fires in LA's history has spared no one: rich or not, famous or not.For Libération, the French paper, it's "City of Ashes", not City of Angels.Meanwhile, Donald Trump has weighed in on the devastation, calling on California governor Gavin Newsom to resign. The Huffington Post reports that Donald Trump Jr and Elon Musk have bizarrely pointed the finger at diversity, inclusion and equality initiatives in California as one of the reasons why the fires haven't been contained yet. This in reference to Los Angeles' efforts to diversify the overwhelming white, male firefighting force.In a Daily Beast piece that seems right out of TV show "The Morning Show", the press also picked up on the story of a millionaire who pleaded for private firefighters to save his home. The LA businessman, Keith Wasserman, wrote on X that he was willing to pay private firefighters to save his Pacific Palisades home. He later clarified that he wanted to save homes, but the damage was done. The real estate investment founder was slammed for appearing tone deaf and outright selfish. The anger was compounded when users discovered his old posts complaining about property taxes and bragging about not paying them ... those very taxes that are used to fund the fire department in LA.Finally, the Australian Open is nearly upon us. Ten-time champion Novak Djokovic will be playing this year with a new coach by his side: his former adversary Andy Murray. It's an unusual move which means that Murray will be making his debut as coach at this Australian Open.The Guardian explains that Murray, who retired in August, had absolutely no interest in coaching until the unique trial coaching position was offered to him. The two players were fierce rivals for many years and both have extremely explosive personalities. Murray said he is braced for angry outbursts by Djokovic during the Australian Open. If anyone can understand the loneliness of tennis, it's certainly Murray. Fun fact: He made it to four Australian Open finals and lost all of them – to none other than Novak Djokovic.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

In this episode of Rock is Lit we dive deep into the visceral and tumultuous world of author GenXCore's debut novel, ‘California Roadkill'. Explore the harrowing journey of three societal outliers as they navigate the shadows of violence, homelessness, and the haunting residue of addiction. From the gritty streets of Los Angeles to the soothing breezes of coastal California, the novel is an odyssey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of the Golden State. GenXCore and I delve into the multifaceted layers of the narrative, touching on the struggles of an adjunct teacher, whose face bears the scars of a student's rebellion against a bad grade, and two of his former punk rock bandmates, one of whom is battling addiction and destitution, the other of whom thinks he's found the cure to craving and compulsion. The intertwining of punk rock music and culture amplifies the story's intensity, offering a powerful soundtrack that resonates with the characters' experiences and the broader societal commentary within the novel.    MUSIC AND MEDIA IN THE EPISODE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Clip from ‘A History Lesson: Punk Rock in Los Angeles in 1984': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii63ztDheF8&t=522s Clip from ‘What's Up America: LA Punk Documentary 1980: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01VInkUxmIw&t=14s Punk Rock Instrumental Background Music: 1 Hour High-Energy Playlist Vol 2 Rock is Lit theme music Clip from Season 3 Announcement/'Duck Tales'/Disney Channel [Guitar Instrumental Beat] Sad Rock [Free Use Music] Punch Deck—“I Can't Stop” Punk Rock Instrumental Background Music: 1 Hour High-Energy Playlist Vol 2 Kenny Hoopla “Hollywood Sucks” The Rolling Stones “Gimme Shelter” The Stray Cats “Stray Cat Strut” Punk Rock Instrumental Background Music: 1 Hour High-Energy Playlist Vol 2 Punk Rock Instrumental Background Music: 1 Hour High-Energy Playlist Vol 2 X “Los Angeles” The Germs “Land of Treason” Clip from Lost Angeles homelessness up 9% in the county, 10% in the city, count finds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py65MJC8VR4&t=13s The Cramps “Goo Goo Muck” The Who “Won't Get Fooled Again” Clip from live Sex Pistols show: “Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?” Sex Pistols “Holidays in the Sun” Rock is Lit theme music—royalty free background music     LINKS: Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Goodpods: https://goodpods.com/podcasts/rock-is-lit-212451 Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-is-lit/id1642987350 GenXCore's website: https://genxcore.com/ GenXCore on Twitter: @GenXCore0 GenXCore on Instagram: @genxcore Rock is Lit EP4, Featuring Janet Fitch's punk rock novel ‘Paint It Black', with guests Nicole Panter and Pleasant Gehman: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/rockislitpodcast/janetfitchandpleasantgehmanandnicolepanter Rock is Lit Vault with Pleasant Gehman: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/podcast-vault-feed/pleasantgehman-bonus-content-46jek Christy Alexander Hallberg's website: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/ Christy Alexander Hallberg on Twitter, Instagram & YouTube: @ChristyHallberg Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Jeff Barke, M.D. is perhaps the most Liberty-conscious physician in America. He carries a copy of the Constitution with him where ever he goes. He's not just interested in making money: He's very disturbed by the threats to Liberty we've continued to witness in California and beyond, and he puts his money where his mouth is in a beautiful, refreshing spirit of public service. Dr. Barke co- founded the only school in California that is fully officially affiliated with Hillsdale College in Michigan, and it costs nothing to the students to attend because it is a public (tax-funded) charter school. It's called Orange County Classical Academy in Orange County, California. The students don't need to stress about having the latest fashion of expensive clothes because everyone wears a school uniform so that they can concentrate more on their studies and less on being cool. The foreign language requirement is Latin so that they can understand, in the original language, the classical underpinnings of Western Civilization. The amazing backstory to how and why this Academy was founded is summarized by Jeff here in this conversation. There is an interesting connection we discover between us: The Hillsdale official who had to sign off on the Academy's Hillsdale affiliation was a Ph.D. classmate of TRP Podcast producer and host, Dr. Lucas J. Mather. Her name is Katy Arnn -- well, now, Dr. Katy O'Toole, Ph.D. -- Larry Arnn's daughter. (Mather and both Arnns got their PhDs from Claremont Graduate School in the Politics Department). Dr. Jeff Barke, M.D. grew up as a public school kid himself in the Valley in Lost Angeles. He graduated from the University of Southern California and UC Irvine's Medical School and is a Board Certified Physician in California. He is a major in the United States Army Reserve Medical Corps, and has been an elected official for a decade in his local public school board in Orange County. As a Jewish man, he carries a firearm with him at all times. He views it as a right and a duty to defend innocent life against great bodily injury or death. He's well-trained as a reserve law enforcement officer for a local agency. Dr. Jeff Barke, M.D. believes that Liberty has a whole lot to do with everything, including his craft, Medicine. Essential to the standard of care is making sure that any person has proper informed consent before receiving any medical intervention, whether any vaccine or mole removal. What does that entail ? It means that the patient understands, and has a copy of, in writing, the backstory of how the vaccine came to market, what the characteristics of the studies were, exactly, and what the ingredients were, including any possible side-effects that may result. The patient has to be clear about this before, and as a condition of, the care or treatment received, as an essential bioethical component of the standard of care in medicine. This is not a new feature of medicine, but it apparently has been forgotten. Dr. Jeff Barke, M.D. takes every Friday to remind as many as who will listen about what exactly informed consent means on a different aspect of intervention, each and every Friday by Instagram reel. The history of these past reels are accessible. Each reel is less than 2 minutes and is highly informative. Dr. Barke offers a subscription on Meta for $4.99 a month where he goes in depth on wholistic health practices that try to prevent any unnecessary medical interventions or Big Pharma dependence.

Our guest today is Matias Perttula, author of a recent piece on Religious Liberty and International Relations for the America First Policy Institute, a non-profit educational organization.

The bilingual (Finnish and English) Mr. Pertula was born in Australia but grew up in Finland before coming to Lost Angeles. At the college level he studied Political Philosophy and Symbolic Logic at Moorpark College (as a student of the TRP host) in Southern California before transferring to UCLA for his bachelors.

This week we welcome one of the stars of Sisu (2022) Jack Doolan to discuss this incredible, fun, kick-ass film that just released wide in the USA, and man does it pack more than a few punches in its tight 91 minutes. Jack plays a Nazi soldier who operates as the tank gunner and second in command to a brutal SS officer (Aksel Hennie) attempting to rob a rugged gold miner (Jorma Tommila) in the Finnish wilderness in 1944. That was a really bad decision by them. While this movie doesn't shy away from the brutality of WWII, it's fun, funny, badass, and gives you something to root for. Directed by Jamari Helander, this movie crushed at TIFF and got distributed by Lionsgate and it just rules.

Lewis, Ph.D., Senior Professor of Christian Philosophy and Systematic Philosophy, retired. Dr. Lewis had been my high school mentor and later, my professor of Logic, History of Philosophy (Ancient and Medieval), as well as Method in Apologetic Reasoning. I also had Doug Groothuis as a professor. He taught me Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Philosophical Ethics. Dr. Groothuis is the author of many books. His most recent is an object of conversation here. It's called "Fire in the Streets: How You Can Confidently Respond to Culturally Incendiary Topics," and you can find it at your local book dealer or on Amazon .

Welcome to Dr Travelbest and a Train Travel Special episode. In this episode:  FAQ: What's the difference between travel medical insurance and emergency medical evacuation coverage? Today's Special TOPIC: Train travel Today's Mistake- Not sleeping on the plane to Europe and jet lag Travel Advice:  Tips on train travel FAQ: What's the difference between travel medical insurance and emergency medical evacuation coverage? Answer:  Travel medical insurance This is important coverage for Step 3, 4, and 5 travelers going abroad, where your U.S. health plan may have limited glocal coverage or no coverage. Travel medical insurance usually pays for ambulance service, doctor and hospital bills and other medical expenses during your trip. You can find generous coverage limits of up to $500,000 per person, but depending on your trip you may not need that level of coverage. This can add up. I recently broke my wrist in a city where I don't have coverage, and my insurance is paying. The costs have been HUGE. I would have been out about $10 thousand if I wasn't insured, and I've seen the bills. All I had to pay was the deductible. Medicare does not pay for health care outside the U.S., which is Step 4 and 5, and in some instances Step 3 in 5 Steps to Solo Travel. There may be a few exceptions in very limited circumstances. Some say travel medical insurance is essential for senior travelers. If Covid is a concern, you can find travel insurance policies that cover Covid-related medical expenses if you contract the virus during your trip. Some who do cover this include: John Hancock, HTH Worldwide, GoReady, AXA, Nationwide, TravelSafe, USI and AIG. Emergency medical evacuation coverage This is also important coverage again for Step 3, 4 and 5 travelers, especially if you're going to a remote area where quality medical care might be hard to find. Emergency medical evacuation insurance pays to get you to the nearest adequate medical facility. You can find coverage of $1 million per person from plenty of firms. If you have one you recommend, please let me know. Topic: Special issue on Train Travel Train travel is reliable ground transportation that is appealing to those who prefer not to fly or drive. As a passenger, you can do what you want. You may choose to enjoy the scenery, sleep, work, play, or make a friend. My most recent train trip was from San Diego to San Luis Obispo the weekend of July 4. I took an Amtrak surf liner train from Solana Beach, California to Guadalupe, California on a busy Friday afternoon. We departed at 12:40 PM and I was able to get a seat on the top deck of a two deck train and stored my luggage above my seat. Many people were standing in the aisles for up to 20-30 minutes as it was a holiday weekend in a touristy area. The train stopped several times before going on a break in Los Angeles. The crew changed here. The direction of my train car changed in Union Station, Lost Angeles. That was so strange for someone like me who is directionally challenged. I stayed in the same seat, but I felt like I was going in a different direction.  And from Los Angeles heading north we went to another several stops and the conductor also reminded us that we would be slowing down to 15 miles an hour in certain spots. This is due to recent accidents on the train involving pedestrians. So the train was a little slow in some areas. That did not matter to me.  The view from the train car was outstanding along this journey. I had ocean views the entire way from Santa Barbara north to near San Luis Obispo. We arrived in Guadalupe at 8:35 pm, 40 minutes after our scheduled arrival. It was late, and due to the lack of cell service in a remote area, it was hard to send messages that we'd be late. The train station was small, without even an office; it's  a parking lot.   The return trip was so different from the way there. Instead of searching many cars for a seat, I was the only one in my “Business Class' ' car when I got aboard in Guadalupe. The operator greeted me with a smile and a welcome snack kit, including some goodies to drink and eat. A few people boarded during the journey, but mostly I had the cab to myself. When it gets dark on July 4 it's spectacular for watching fireworks. I would suggest you book yourself on a train next July 4. Find a place where you can see a lot of fireworks and enjoy the moving show. You may have traveled by train in several other countries, so tell me about your train travels. Train trips that I have taken include across the US plus in Japan the shincasen, China's high-speed trains, Kenya, Chile, plus eurail travel throughout France and Germany. Today's Mistake - Not sleeping on the plane to Europe and jet lag My first trip across the Atlantic Ocean was a jetlag disaster. It was a Step 4 trip. I arrived in London at 9am and was so tired I could not think straight. I got myself a hotel room and all I did was want to sleep. I put my head down and then was awoken by someone who wanted to paint the room. Of course, I said no, but he kept banging. He said he couldn't get paid until he painted. So, eventually, I let him in to paint and he did and then he left.  My mistake was not sleeping on the plane, and not adjusting my sleep cycle to be in a new time zone. Don't do what I did. Get your time shifted before you get to the airport and sleep on the plane if at all possible. Today's Travel Advice: Tips on train travel:  Use trains as an alternative to other transportation, such as driving or flying commercial airlines. It's easier to board and unboard than on a plane with the challenges of airports. Most trains run on a regular schedule and are reliable and safe. I would recommend you take a trip on a train due to the convenience and embrace the relaxation. When you arrive at your destination, you will be more refreshed.

Happy Labor Day weekend 2022: TRP Episode 85 TRP's Labor Day guest today is once again Dr. Arik Greenberg, Ph.D. He's writing a book. We talk at length about Dr. Greenberg's memoir that he's writing that gets into some detail of his family of origin. It mixes with Theology, which is his academic specialty. Then we continue talking about Academic Labor issues, Unions, etc. from our earlier episode 23, published March 11, 2022: available here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmdTh2QiS9o and Episode 24 on Apple Podcasts available here : https://www.therepublicanprofessor.com/2022/03/12/episode-24-faculty-part-time-tenure-labor-issues-special-guest-dr-arik-greenberg-ph-d-of-loyola-marymount-university-la/ This is the second part of a multi-episode extended set of conversations on Faculty Labor Issues in Higher Education with our special guest today, Dr. Arik Greenberg, Clinical Professor of Theology at Loyola Marymount University, Lost Angeles. Dr. Greenberg is a distinguished, seasoned faculty member on Lost Angeles college campuses and brings a wealth of experience not only in teaching and administration but also in union organizing and peace march demonstrations. This topic of academic labor can get very complicated very quickly, but there is no other dialogue partner I can think of that can rise to that challenge with as much grace and humility as can Professor Greenberg. We are truly delighted that he stopped by to say a hi and stay awhile to continue into the weeds a bit on this topic. And we do continue in some details, some specific numbers, so you can get a feel for what "part-time" professors get paid to teach college in Lost Angeles Ventura, and Orange County, California in recent decades. The Republican Professor is a pro-improving-Faculty-Labor-Issues-on-Campus, pro-making-college-great-again podcast. To move forward we have to listen carefully to each other and learn from each other, to forge relationships that are resilient enough to perdure through time. The Republican Professor welcomes Dr. Arik Greenberg ! The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. Happy Labor Day weekend from TRP Here are links to the documents referenced by Dr. Greenberg at almost the 2 hour mark: https://edlabor.house.gov/imo/media/doc/1.24.14-AdjunctEforumReport.pdf and https://pullias.usc.edu/download/imperative-change-fostering-understanding-necessity-changing-non-tenure-track-faculty-policies-practices/?wpdmdl=13873&refresh=62bd03d0771fc1656554448

The Honorable Mr. Kevin Muldoon, JD, the Mayor of Newport Beach in Orange County, California, joins The Republican Professor podcast today to talk about local California politics. You've heard of "the Deep State". Muldoon calls local government "the Shallow State." Kevin has a great sense of humor. Kevin started his career in politics in the George W. Bush White House (Executive Office Building), eventually going on to Law School in Orange County and then to the local prosecutor's office after passing the Bar. He eventually went into business. He graduated from a Loyola Marymount University in Lost Angeles (where Dr. Mather, TRP's producer and host, also went and where Dr. Mather taught for a long time). Kevin was awarded the Dr. Singleton Award in Economics while at LMU. He was recruited by locals to run for local office in Newport Beach and so he did back in 2014, and was elected to the part-time City Council position, where he has been since. He has been Mayor, before, and is currently serving as Mayor, having been selected for the position by his City Council elected colleagues. I'll bet you'll learn something you didn't know about local politics if you stick around. "You don't do it for the money." The Republican Professor is a pro-local-politics-done-right, pro-educating-folks-about-local-politics, pro-transparent-and-no-BS-politician podcast. Therefore, welcome Mr. Mayor of Newport Beach , California (Orange County), USA, Mr. Kevin Muldoon ! The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J.

Professor of Political Science Dr. Darren Guerra, Ph.D., shares his approach to teaching Political Science from a Christian perspective to undergraduates in Lost Angeles County, California. Professor Guerra is a Constitutional Scholar who has thought deeply about the original purpose and wise design of key features of the US Constitution and Declaration. For example, one issue is, how slow the Amendment process is, is that justified to correct it? He has written a book about Article V of the original Constitution called "Perfecting the Constitution: the Case for the Article V Amendment Process" available at your local book dealer (please support brick and mortar local bookstores !) and here on Ganges: https://www.amazon.com/Perfecting-Constitution-Case-Amendment-Process-dp-1498515444/dp/1498515444/ref=mt_other?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1660537303 Guerra thinks it's true slavery is wrong. Professor Guerra (Italian, pronounced Gu-air-rah) is careful to get the students talking constructively with each other about fundamental issues prior to politics per se, issues that include basic epistemology: epistemic justification, the conditions for acquiring knowledge, and the definition of truth itself. This political epistemology, as we might call it, is geared toward equipping the student to recover from and then withstand the nonsense of moral relativism, the absurdity of the so-called "fact-value" distinction, and its ancient neighbor, metaphysical naturalism or materialism. Pedagogically, sometimes, it means slowing way down and rethinking for ourselves our commitment to the truth of certain propositions with political relevance, such as murder is wrong, or that slavery is wrong. In the American context, historically Democrats have long been skeptical of the truth of the statement that slavery is wrong (and hence, that murder of a slave is wrong), and clearly Democrats often still do maintain skepticism of the truth of such basic political statements. Presently, Biola University is surrounded by contemporary California Democrats. The temptation to fit in with them culturally and philosophically is enormously powerful for many, I imagine. Democrats control most of popular culture in California and beyond, including the disastrous government K-12 schools that squeeze out often inarticulate, incoherent metaphysical naturalists, materialists, relativists, in short, Democrat graduates, almost as if by design. But Republicans have always held to to truth of the statement that slavery is wrong (any counterexamples ?). We have always insisted on the know-ability of that fact (see Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural, discussed here in this episode by Prof. Mather in a college evaluation anecdote of his own), and indeed, the modern Republican party was founded upon it in 1854, and fought a war in part over that issue. On one level it may be discouraging to have to continue, in a different form, to fight that philosophical battle, as it were, so to speak, yet again in the classroom or in the culture, sometimes it's not clear how exactly that should go. Dr. Darren Guerra is a master at crafting the curriculum to move the ball discernibly down the road to greater true progress. (The so-called "Progressive" "progress" quite often isn't true progress). (It's important to distinguish "progressivism" in name only from true progress). The Republican Professor is a pro-solid-political-epistemology, pro-anti-slavery, pro-anti-murder, pro-anti-metaphysical-naturalism, pro-anti-murder, pro-encouraging-the-students-to-dialogue-gracefully-and-honestly-with-each-other, pro-getting-down-to-brass-tacks, pro-legit-progress-not-just-"progressive"-in-name-only, pro-smashing-the-so-called-"fact-value"-distinction-to-smithereens, pro-let's-think-on-theology-and-politics podcast. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. TRP Podcast is currently ranked dead last in the entire world in the category of Uninteresting Podcasts.

It's our great honor to welcome the founder of Apologetics.com, the delightfully humorous Lion of Christian Apologetics, Dr. Harry Edwards. Dr. Edwards is ethnically Filipino, speaks Tagalog fluently having grown up there in the big city on Luzon. Harry moved to the US lawfully when he was a very young man. There were many, many years when every time you went into the Biola University bookstore, back when they sold, well, books instead of everything else besides books (you can buy coffee mugs, skis, hunting rifles, used Toyota trucks, and rare military insignia, but not like hard cover books anymore at the Biola Book Store since the decline began)(actually, hunting rifles would be progress, but), you would see Harry Edwards there, the king of the Biola Bookstore Commonwealth. And that's because fundamentally Harry is a nerd, sure, but more superficially, it's because Harry was the Biola Bookstore Manager. In other words, you thought of Harry, you thought, books. Books, books, books. And he loves books, and he had and has a passion for introducing people to books, books, and more books. That alone would be a good reason to be a fan of Dr. Harry Edwards. Harry has jet black hair (and he's old, and he does not dye it), he's got dark skin, and he grew up elsewhere, yet he is a red-blooded American. Dr. Harry Edwards has a passion for reaching the lost in America, especially Generation Z, with the wonderful news (true, defensible news) of the historic, biblical Christian Gospel and all the truths of general revelation that flow out of and are consistent with that view of the world. His doctoral dissertation was on reaching Generation Z with Apologetics. His doctorate is a D.Min., a Doctor of Ministry, with emphasis in Apologetics from the epicenter of scholarship on Christian Apologetics, Southern California's Biola University, Talbot School of Theology, in Lost Angeles County. (D. Min. is ironically pronounced "dmon" -- ironic because there's nothing dmonic about it, actually). Many years ago Harry founded Apologetics.com which he still runs while on the pastoral staff of Christian church in Orange County, California. Part of that effort involves a late-night radio program and podcast in Lost Angeles which helps listeners develop, refine, correct, and progress in the best way to understand Christianity and the world. The Republican Professor is a pro-books, pro-awesome-bookstore-that-actually-sells-books, pro-Apologetics-done-right, pro-red-blooded-American-no-matter-what-color-you-appear-to-be, pro-America-loving-lawful-immigrant, pro-re-thinking-how-best-to-reach-the-young podcast. Therefore, welcome Dr. Harry Edwards, D.Min. (in Christian Apologetics, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, California). The co-host for this episode is Kurtis Olson, co-founder of TheRepublicanProfessor.com The Republican Professor podcast is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. --- A helpful note on the numbering of TRP episodes: This is Episode 70 of The Republican Professor on YouTube. The last two audio-only episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. (featuring a topic on which YouTube censors free discussion) featured Dr. John R. Lott, Ph.D. and Jon Matthews. The last YouTube episode, The Fatty Truth on Instagram on Political Censorship, was numbered episode 68 on YouTube because our Good Friday and Easter episodes 2022 were not numbered. But this is the 70th episode uploaded to The Republican Professor channel on YouTube. The Audio only version of The Republican Professor podcast included Episode 1 on Abortion, recorded January 2021 with K-12 Public School Teacher Aaron Axtell, published late 2021. Episode 2 was published early 2022. Episode 2 of the audio-only line-up is Episode 1 on YouTube, since the real Episode 1 with Aaron Axtell on Abortion did not have video. More than you ever wanted to like evar like know about, like, how the like episodes are like numbared and stuff. ~Dr. Ljm, Trp

What an incredible honor to spend this precious time with Samra Dresevic of Maverick Lingo, a small business in based in Lost Angeles, California. She speaks to us in her 4th language. And good luck finding any mistakes in her diction, vocabulary, or grammar. She speaks flawless English. Samra grew up Muslim in an idyllic, rural childhood only to experience massive trauma as a 10 year old when her youth was shattered by war. Her family immediately became refugees in Europe, and her life was never the same again. In her words, she lost her childhood. Many, many years later, in her 4th language, she had Professor Mather, the producer and host of The Republican Professor podcast, while a student at Loyola Marymount University in Lost Angeles, California. It was a morning class, Philosophy 160, Philosophy of Human Nature as it was called at the time, that began her friendship with the professor. [LMU has since dispensed with the course for reasons that utterly baffle all intelligent people]. That was 10 years ago as of the recording of this episode. The lines of communication and dialogue have stayed open throughout the years between Samra and the professor. Samra is now a successful small business owner, an entrepreneur, related to language learning in Lost Angeles, California, having become an American. Her company is called Maverick Lingo and you can check out her website here : https://www.mavericklingo.com/ The Republican Professor is a pro-staying-in-touch-with-the-best-students, pro-lines-of-communication-open, pro-entrepreneur, pro-small-business-owner, pro-language-learning, pro-intriguing-life-story podcast. Therefore, welcome dearest Samra Dresevic, one of my very favorite former students ever out of thousands. The Republican Professor podcast is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

It seems like only 47 years ago that Dr. Ciocchi began teaching Logic, but no: It's actually been 48. David Ciocchi has nearly half a century of service to Christ, Culture & kids under his belt. My former boss joins us in this episode of The Republican Professor podcast. Partial disclosure (people say "full disclosure" but then go on only to partially disclose -- *full* disclosure would take a lot of time, wouldn't it?): I was his Logic Teaching Assistant (TA) for multiple semesters while I was in graduate school studying Philosophy for my Masters at Biola University in Lost Angeles County, California. I cut my teeth learning from this master how to teach Logic, something I ended up doing myself for 15 years in Lost Angeles and Ventura Counties (So Cal). His name is Dr. David Ciocchi, Ph.D., and Professor Ciocchi has taught for darn near half a dadgum century Introduction to Logic to blurry eyed students and budding citizens of this great Republic. Dr. Ciocchi is known as a gentle, patient mentor with one of the driest and most pedagogically effective senses of humor known to man. (It's not on full display here because that was not the purpose of the episode--you'd have to talk to his former students). His classes for decades have been Mon Wed Fri (MWF) starting before 8 am. The co-host for this episode, Kurtis, took his course 3 times at that early schedule, each time faring better than the last, and Dr. Ciocchi's consistent gentle, patient demeanor is on full display there as those sensitive details come up. Dr. Ciocchi talks us through what teaching is like, or has been like, including challenges and regrets that he's come to terms with over those 48 years. He's seen a lot of changes in California, not all worth celebrating (to say the least). But he's maintained a faithfulness to the Logic-teaching ministry to Christ and Culture in California by the grace of God, and we are so grateful for God's grace to us, through him, and for spending time with us today on this episode. The Republican Professor is a pro-effectively-teaching-Logic-to-the-younger-generation, pro-decades-of-faithful-service, pro-mentoring-new-professors, pro-deadpan-dry-humor-in-the-morning podcast. Therefore, welcome Dr. David Ciocchi, Ph.D., professor of Logic for 48 years at Biola University, Lost Angeles County, California. The Republican Professor podcast is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. This episode was co-hosted by TheRepublicanProfessor.com co-founder and former student of Dr. Ciocchi, Kurtis Olson.

"I am the biggest proponent of the Second Amendment there is," African American leather-jacket-wearing, Harley riding attorney MavEryck Stevenson told me outside of Neptunes Net in Malibu, California on a beautiful spring day in 2022. Cars were buzzing by on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). "The Second Amendment is for EVERYBODY," he said. He very discreetly showed me his weapon and his permit after I introduced myself to him as the producer and host of The Republican Professor podcast, and asked him to come on. I'd seen his Second Amendment patch on his leather jacket and asked him about it. A libertarian in political temperament and a Christian by religious heritage, an avid reader, curious about such things as "what is Budapest like this time of year?", MavEryck Stevenson became an attorney later in life. He sports a distinguished whitish gray beard, but looks as young as Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman, except with the darker complexion of the drill sergeant in that film. A gentle, friendly demeanor, Stevenson is a loquacious raconteur. He's also an open book, as you'll see in this episode of The Republican Professor. MavEryck has the distinct honor, or dishonor (I guess we'll see) of being the very first guest on TRP podcast that I just randomly went up to in California and asked onto the podcast (and that based little more than on what he was wearing at the time). And I did that as he stood near his Harley at Neptune's Net in Malibu, California off of PCH across from the beach in April of 2022. MavEryck discusses many things, including his own involvement in the criminal justice system, his being pulled over in California by the police while armed (and black)(how do deal with that for those similarly situated), and advocates that more people apply, get training, and get approved for conceal carry licenses in California. It's far too difficult in some jurisdictions--the issuing agency has too much discriminatory discretion. That legal wiggle room for discriminatory discretion by issuing agencies is far too loose. That regulatory environment needs over-hall to bring it in line with shall issue protections for the natural rights of applicants who want to be trained and ready to defend themselves in public, as is their God-given right. MavEryck does disclose what bikes he has , and what he carries exactly (revolver? semi-auto?), The Law Offices of MavEryck Langford Stevenson, Esq.

PLEASE EXCUSE THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT ARE DISPLAYED IN SOME PARTS OF THIS EPISODEChristy joined one of the church's mission teams upon graduating high school.  There was a quota of baptisms that leaders on the mission field were required to meet.  Through the purusit of these quotas, some baptisms were rushed.  There were people who were baptized for the sake of the increase in church wide statistics and numerical growth.  She describes the leaders as using fear and intimidation on other leaders to keep them in step with the church wide practices and beliefs.  The leaders set up an internal environment in which everything that one does must be done to be worthy of God.    Christy uses the phrases "control" and "manipulation" to describe the church.   As a leader of the church, every hour of her day was accounted for and needed to be accessible to her superiors at all times.  Most of what she was accountable for was the overall numerical growth of the church.  Christy talks to us about the “weak and concerned list” that leaders used to talk about the general membership.  The weak members of the church were never supported; they were judged.  Christy also tells up about the leaders using “god ordained gossip” to control the membership.
