Podcasts about Martin Luther King Jr

In a world of AI disruption, endless striving, and nonstop noise, what if the real goal isn't progress, power, or even success—what if it's LOVE? Love is the only lesson, the only currency, and the only force strong enough to heal our lives and our world. Through timeless wisdom and radical insight, Derek reveals how love isn't just a feeling—it's a fierce practice, a quantum principle, and the blueprint for personal and global transformation. From Mandela to Martin Luther King Jr., from Jesus to the Bhagavad Gita, he shows how loving the truth within ourselves—and even within our so-called enemies—can resurrect hope, dissolve fear, and spark miracles.

In this timely session of Awareness in Action, Father John Dear confronts the urgency of our times with an echo from Martin Luther King Jr.: “The choice is no longer violence or non-violence… It's […]

From the Dark to the Light Do you celebrate life or death? We talk about figures like Charlie Kirk, Martin Luther King Jr., and JFK. Their lives were taken by another human being. Why do we want to kill someone for words they say or beliefs they hold? F.A. Hayek and John Maynard Keynes had vastly different beliefs and yet had a great friendship. They talked about their different beliefs and had friendly debates. Charlie Kirk was encouraging people with different beliefs to talk to each other and said that when people stop talking, that's when problems begin. We discuss the kid that shot him and what he is facing now. Bad things can happen, and how you choose to think about that situation can not only determine your results but can make a difference in how happy you are. The Golden Rule tells us to treat others the way we want to be treated. If we could all follow that, this world would be a better place.

Portugal has joined Britain, Canada and Australia in formally recognising Palestinian statehood. It comes after their growing criticism of Israel's military offensive in Gaza -- and is meant to revive hopes of a two-state solution to the conflict. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a Palestinian state would not happen and denounced recognition as a huge reward to terrorism. Palestinian leaders welcomed recognition. We will hear from Palestinians and an Israeli official. Also in the programme: We will hear from the Hollywood star Leonardo Di Caprio about his new film; Martin Luther King the Third on political violence in America and trying to bridge the divide; and talking statues of the gardens of Versailles.

Un samedi de cet été, je suis allée récupérer une commande de livres que j'avais passée chez Gibert, à Saint-Michel. J'ai dû rentrer en bus jusqu'à Saint-Lazare, en prenant le 21. Trois jeunes femmes installées derrière moi, trois amies étudiantes, parlaient, assises au fond du bus. Un peu malgré moi, j'ai suivi leur conversation : leur projets pour la fin août, où trouver les meilleurs débardeurs blancs et finalement « l'année prochaine ». L'une d'elles habitera le 17e à la rentrée.    Dans cet épisode, on évoque : Paris, le 17e arrondissement, le parc Martin Luther King, la place de Clichy, la gare Saint-Lazare, le bus 21.  On parle du fait d'être Parisienne, de la vie à Paris, du fait de changer de quartier et de la vie étudiante à Paris.  Pour le transcript et les notes culturelles : www.onethinginafrenchday.com  

Darrell Castle talks about recent events, in the history of America, from assassinations to simple murders and how we never seem to get the complete and truthful picture of what happened. Transcription / Notes IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A GIANT PSYOP Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. I will be talking about recent events in the history of America from assassinations to simple murders and how we never seem to get the complete and truthful picture of what happened. If we go back in history only so far as World War ll we find that psychological warfare was an important weapon for all combatants. It was important but also primitive compared to the worldwide grip it holds on us today. Sometimes it was millions of leaflets dropped from airplanes across Europe and sometimes it was Tokyo Rose broadcasting from Japan to American sailors opposing the Japanese navy. There were no video cameras, no satellites, no social media, and no internet whereby everyone was monitored and ordinary people could become celebrities overnight. Sinister forces became the status quo and opposing the status quo became very dangerous. President Eisenhower saw these forces coming to power in the world and he warned President Kennedy about them. President Kennedy, a genuine war hero, and a man of courage and determination took those warnings to heart and tried to oppose the forces that were fast becoming the status quo. He died for his efforts and even though it's been 62 years future leaders have all understood that you oppose the status quo at your own risk. JFK's brother Robert, who was most likely our next president, opposed those same forces and was determined to punish those who murdered his brother. The same year gave us Martin Luther King who also opposed the status quo and a man who argued for peace abroad and racial reckoning at home. Those three men met the same fate at the hands of a lone nut or so we are told. Hardly anyone today believes the demonstrably stupid explanations of their murders but at the time we still had some tiny amount of faith that our leaders might tell the truth occasionally but today, of course, we know better. Recently, in one of his Liberty Reports, Ron Paul, age 90 gave a pretty good explanation as he addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “The turbulent 1960's saw several killings of major US figures, including JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, who were challenging the status quo and pushing for a shift away from the Cold War confrontationist mentality. The real assassins of these peace leaders from last century were Nihilists who did not believe in truth. They only believed in power—the power that comes from the barrel of a gun. Rather than compete in the marketplace of ideas they preferred to snuff out any challenges and therefore decapitate any possibility that our country could take a different course.” There were many other assassinations, of course, during that same time period. Those of us who lived through it wondered what had become of us but then as usual it got worse. A couple of others worth mentioning were John Lennon, influential man obviously who talked often about peace and voiced opposition to America's wars. He was killed outside his Manhattan apartment by Mark David Chapman. John Hinckley, connected distantly to the Bush family, tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan who was in the process of peace with our worst enemy, the Soviet Union. I forgot to mention Richard Nixon who was ending the Vietnam War and who opened trade with China. The nation had just experienced several high-profile political murders so killing him might have aroused even the insouciant Americans' ire. Nixon didn't have to be assassinated because we had people who could false flag him and politically assassinate him. I mention all this history of death and destruction to present recent history as a massive psychological warfare experiment on the American people.

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."— Martin Luther King Jr.SHOW NOTESEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS You can be spiritually brave without being spiritually venomous. True power is found in choosing love over fear. A "Clarence" mentality—steadfast, kind, and traditional—is the spiritual antidote to a chaotic world. "Keep Your Love On" is a radical act of self-control and a powerful choice to take responsibility for your own emotions. God's kindness is a model for our own. His resolute refusal to let go of us is an echo of His own character that He hears in us. "What does taking responsibility for your own emotions truly look like in your life? Is it blaming others? Or is it choosing to respond in a way that honors your inner peace, your identity, who you know you truly are?" —Kristen Wambach

Charlie Kirk's assassination has rattled people on both sides of the aisle and terrified those whose jobs, like Charlie's, involve talking about politics on the public stage. Jon reflects on the aftermath of the killing, what he finds most alarming, and his disappointment with leaders on the right and followers on the left. Then, the Bulwark's Will Sommer joins the show to break down how important Charlie Kirk was to the MAGA movement, how the right is reacting to new information about his killer, and how Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly are all scrambling for control of his legacy and Turning Point USA. Jon closes out the show by answering Offline producer Austin Fisher's questions on the ripple effects of the assassination.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

When leaders fuse role with identity, misalignment leaks into culture. Discover how ILR separates role from identity so you can lead with clarity, trust, and peace.Leadership is heavy when your identity is fused with your role. Every mistake feels like a threat to your worth. Every conflict feels personal. Every decision is weighed down by the fear of being exposed. And it doesn't stay contained — it leaks into your team, creating misalignment, mistrust, and burnout.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly shows why misaligned leaders create misaligned teams — and how recalibration shifts leadership from pressure to presence. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and the story of Howard Thurman's influence on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this episode unpacks:Why identity-fused leadership creates fragile cultures where teams walk on eggshellsThe toll of “always on” leadership on your nervous system and your healthWhy therapy helps you understand and coaching helps you manage — but ILR releases role-driven leadership at the rootHow Howard Thurman's faith-rooted identity shaped a generation of leaders without chasing titlesA practical test to know if you're leading from identity or just sustaining a roleToday's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: Am I leading from clarity of identity or from a role I'm trying to sustain? Notice where leadership feels heavy — that weight is often the signal that role and identity have fused.If leadership has ever felt like it's costing you yourself, this episode will help you step out of pressure and into presence — leading with clarity, stability, and peace.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In covering political violence and homicides, the media keeps missing one of its most important responsibilities. Today, Josh explains how an obsession with politics has been poisoning not only the coverage of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's killing, but also the killing of a young woman on light rail in North Carolina. It boils down to a key question of whether we're going to move forward as a society or not. To help you understand this, Josh looks at the attempted assassination of author Salman Rushdie, the assassination of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr., and a problematic line journalists use when discussing violence and mental health. Also, an American news network fired an analyst following Kirk's death. In context, his remarks seem different from what made the rounds on social media. But the incident raises a larger question about how the news handles early reports of gunfire. Plus the BBC runs cover for a student leader who celebrated Kirk's assassination, stars preach hatred at the Emmys, and the leading study on political violence in America shows how antisemitism fuels it on both ends of the political spectrum.

“There is another way.” Julie Rose sits down with Sulaiman Khatib, two-time Noble Peace Prize nominee and co-founder of Combatants for Peace. As a teenager, Khatib, a Palestinian, was imprisoned for attacking Israeli soldiers. But behind bars, he discovered the power of nonviolent resistance, studying the works of Gandhi, Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr. Today, he works side by side with Israelis to build trust, tell hard truths, and imagine a future of collective liberation for Israelis and Palestinians. With the conflict in Gaza entering its second year, Sulaiman Khatib's story is a rare glimpse of hope.

Why do most speeches vanish from memory within hours, while others echo for decades and even shape the course of history? In this episode, Carl welcomes author, historian, and Founder & CEO of Speaking With Purpose, Robert Begley, to uncover what truly makes a message unforgettable. Drawing from his book Voices of Reason: Lessons for Liberty's Leaders, Robert shares why timeless speeches—from Patrick Henry's cry for liberty, to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, to Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream—continue to move us long after they were delivered. These masters of communication understood not just what to say, but how to say it in a way that resonates with hearts and minds. This episode goes beyond public speaking tips—it's about connecting with people on a deeper level, whether you're addressing a stadium, leading a team meeting, or having a heartfelt one-on-one conversation. By applying these lessons, you can transform your words into sparks that motivate, persuade, and live on.

In our mythological retelling of the Civil Rights movement, Martin Luther King, Jr. vanquished the racist apartheid system of Jim Crow in the American South. However, in her groundbreaking new book, historian Jeanne Theoharis argues that King's time in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago—outside Dixie—was at the heart of his campaign for racial justice. As the book description lays out, “King of the North follows King as he crisscrosses the country from the Northeast to the West Coast, challenging school segregation, police brutality, housing segregation, and job discrimination. For these efforts, he was relentlessly attacked by white liberals, the media, and the federal government.” In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Professor Theoharis about the MLK Americans have deliberately forgotten, and what this recovered history tells us about how to fight against injustice today. For full show notes and transcript, click here.Credits: Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: David HebdenAudio Post-Production: Stephen FrankFollow The Marc Steiner Show on Spotify Follow The Marc Steiner Show on Apple PodcastsHelp us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetwork

‘Songs are like a statement from the spirit of you, the spirit in you'Annie Macmanus speaks to global music icon Stevie Wonder about his life and career. Stevie was born in 1950 in the industrial city of Saginaw in Michigan, USA. Even from a young age, he displayed a great love of music - first with a church choir, and then teaching himself how to play a range of instruments, including the harmonica, piano and drums - all before the age of 10.He was just 11 years old when he was discovered and signed by the legendary Motown record label - and the rest is history.Across a career that's spanned seven decades, he's sold over 100 million records worldwide, won numerous awards - including multiple Grammys, a Golden Globe and even an Oscar, and received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom too.Over the years, Stevie has also used his platform to campaign on social issues close to his heart. He's long-advocated for greater rights for disabled people around the world, and he successfully spearheaded a movement to create a national holiday in the US to recognise the birthday of the civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was also a vocal critic of apartheid in South Africa and called for the release of Nelson Mandela.In this wide-ranging interview, Stevie discusses his journey to stardom, where he gets his creative spark, and speaking out against injustice.Thank you to the Sidetracked team for their help in making this programme.

In this powerful episode, Michael McIntyre shared his heart on the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, emphasizing that this wasn't just another political tragedy—it's spiritual warfare. As Michael explained, Kirk was targeted because he was effectively reaching millions of young people with the gospel and exposing the lies being spread on college campuses. While acknowledging that Charlie could be forceful in his approach, Michael reminded us that Jesus also confronted the Pharisees with boldness. This is our Martin Luther King Jr. moment—a watershed moment for Christianity where we must choose to stand firm or retreat in fear. Michael's challenge to the church was clear: too many pastors are staying silent when they should be honoring those who boldly proclaim truth. His call to action for all of us is to show up big, be bold in Christ, and remember that fear is not from God. The episode closed with an important reminder that if you're a man listening, you have a responsibility to teach other young men how to walk in godly masculinity with both strength and gentleness.

Given recent events, we have decided not to release a new episode this week. Instead, given rising concerns about state retribution to political violence and the weaponization of law enforcement, we are re-releasing our conversation with Lerone A. Martin from February, in which he discusses his book The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover. _________________________________________________________ This week, Kelly and John are joined by Lerone A. Martin to discuss his unfortunately timely and prescient book, The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover: How the FBI Aided and Abetted the Rise of White Christian Nationalism. Martin is the Martin Luther King, Jr., Centennial Professor in Religious Studies, African & African American Studies, and The Nina C. Crocker Faculty Scholar. He also serves as the Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University. He's is an award-winning author. The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover was published in February 2023 by Princeton University Press. The book has garnered praise from numerous publications including The Nation, Foreign Affairs, The Guardian, Publisher's Weekly, and History Today. In 2014 he published, Preaching on Wax: The Phonograph and the Making of Modern African American Religion. That book received the 2015 first book award by the American Society of Church History. His commentary and writing have been featured on The NBC Today Show, The History Channel, PBS, CSPAN, and NPR, as well as in The New York Times, Boston Globe, CNN.com, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He currently serves as an advisor on the upcoming PBS documentary series The History of Gospel Music & Preaching.

Description:This episode of On Stage takes us deeper into the SBJ archives than ever before, revisiting a keynote interview from the 2016 Intercollegiate Athletics Forum with Paul Tagliabue, the longtime former commissioner of the National Football League. Tagliabue, who led the NFL from 1989 to 2006, oversaw one of the league's most transformative eras: four expansion franchises, high-profile franchise relocations, and landmark decisions that reflected the NFL's influence on culture and society—from postponing games after 9/11 to moving a Super Bowl over Arizona's refusal to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020, his impact continues to shape the sports landscape today. In conversation with SBJ's Publisher and Executive Editor Abe Madkour, Tagliabue reflects on leadership, governance, social responsibility, and the business of sports during his time at the helm. Listening now, nearly a decade later, provides unique perspective: a reminder of how far the industry has come and how timeless lessons in integrity, vision, and adaptability remain. This is the beauty of On Stage: giving important conversations from SBJ's archives new life, showing how they continue to inform the issues and debates of today.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Sunday's 'Meet the Press,' Utah governor Spencer Cox likened social media to a 'cancer' on society, putting a lot of blame on social networking for gun deaths in the U.S. Listen, I know the inherent ills social media can deliver with swiftness, but he's focusing on the "circulatory system" delivering the tumors (bigotry, homophobia, misogyny, racism) and not the hatred itself. That troubles me.The right's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk embodies an attempt to pin blame on everyone and every movement other than their own, when the alleged assassin lived in a conservative household in a conservative state, was raised a Mormon and well-versed in and surrounded by a variety of guns. Somehow one failed semester away at college and one roommate / potential romantic partner radicalized him, we're to believe. Now there's this movement to deify Kirk and liken him to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and John F. Kennedy as victims of free speech who gave voice to truth. However, also on Sunday, Reve. Howard John Wesley at D.C.'s Alfred Street Baptist Church gave a sermon that offered a sobering assessment of the assassinated right wing lynchpin Charlie Kirk: "how you die does not redeem how you live," said Rev. Wesley.

The meanest people are often the weakest. Meanness is a mask for insecurity, not a sign of strength. Today we explore why people act this way, give real examples of strength through goodness, and practical tools so you can stay above the fray. [00:45] Meanness comes from fear, envy, and insecurity. It's a way to avoid facing your own shortcomings. Tearing others down doesn't build you up. [2:30] Nelson Mandela chose forgiveness over revenge. Mahatma Gandhi led with nonviolence and respect. Martin Luther King Jr. preached love in the face of hate. They showed moral strength can topple physical might. [5:00] Steve Hansen didn't tolerate ego on the All Blacks. Michael Jordan lifted teammates up; he didn't tear them down. Your success isn't limited by others' wins. Celebrate them instead of comparing. [7:15] Check your reactions when someone shares big goals. Surround yourself with believers, not doubters. Celebrate others' wins out loud. Stay focused on your own path. Practice daily gratitude. It's hard to be mean when you're thankful. Don't let weakness or meanness define you. Have the strength to believe in goodness. Listen now to learn how.

Should Nights of Lights overlap with MLK Day?

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Charlie Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, is gunned down at Utah Valley University while sharing his Christian beliefs. Known for respectful dialogue, he faces hostility yet inspires many with his message. His assassination echoes the tragic fate of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., reminding us of the risks faced by those who speak truth...

In Plain Sight: A Memoir Infused with Military Psychological Operationsis the raw, introspective autobiography of Jonathan Mark Haber, a Brooklyn-born activist whose relentless quest for truth spans government conspiracies, military psy-ops, and spiritual awakening.The narrative begins in 1960s Brooklyn, where the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK, the Vietnam War, and nuclear brinkmanship ignite Haber's activism. From draft resistance and communal living to building a family in rural Massachusetts, each step fuels his resolve to expose hidden forces shaping history.Central to his journey is a spiritual and political awakening guided by mentors like Karl Grossman, Elwood Babbitt, Eckhart Tolle, and Manhattan Project/NASA whistleblower Bart Jordan. Their insights propel his work with Flyby News, where he challenges official narratives—from the Cassini flyby and 9/11 to COVID-19—revealing the pervasive reach of military psychological operations.A defining collaboration with Jordan uncovers evidence of ancient Martian artifacts and languages, suggesting a pre-ice-age warning: humanity must break war's cyclical destruction or face oblivion. (Further details are explored in FlybyNews.com and on YouTube: "Bart Jordan: Manhattan Project NASA Whistleblower.")Interwoven with investigative rigor is Haber's personal battle—chronic pain, kidney failure, and profound loss—met with resilience and a belief in love's transformative power. More than a memoir, In Plain Sight is a call to confront deception and forge a future rooted in peace.https://amzn.to/3ImWDCwBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Utahns responded not with riots, but with vigils, prayers, and unity — a stark contrast to the chaos seen after George Floyd's death. This episode draws parallels between Kirk and Martin Luther King Jr., framing Kirk as a modern civil-rights leader targeted for his defense of free speech and religious rights. We examine the national fallout: 32,000 new Turning Point USA chapter requests, global marches, and a rising movement branding Kirk as a civil-rights icon. At the same time, anger erupts over celebratory posts from academics and politicians, allegations of extremist networks tied to recent shootings, and mounting calls to defund institutions like Clemson for tolerating rhetoric that endorses violence. With bullets inscribed “Hey Fascist” and references to Antifa rallying cries, the debate over free speech, political violence, and accountability intensifies. Will this tragedy awaken a new civil-rights era — or deepen America's divide?

The message was delivered on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk, Program Minister. DESCRIPTION: What happens when midnight falls across a nation's soul, and darkness seems so deep we can barely see which way to turn? An ancient parable about a friend's desperate knock at midnight becomes a powerful lens for understanding our current moment—where fear builds, divisions widen, and people push one another away. Yet in this darkness comes an urgent plea not for simple charity, but for something far more transformative: the bread of love that affirms every person's worth and dignity. From the 1963 March on Washington to an 80-year-old woman's determined climb up 342 steps to the crown of the Statue of Liberty, discover how ordinary people make extraordinary choices to unfold their hearts rather than fold them closed. When the world profits from our isolation and feeds on our fear, what does it mean to choose unfolding as the ultimate act of resistance?

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” — Martin Luther King Jr. “You don't have to wait for the rainbow to enjoy the rain.” — Dieter F. Uchtdorf“ "Love is the ‘why' of the leaders that can bring America back together, and of all of us in our families and communities.” — Arthur C. Brooks

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good; Happy are those who take refuge in him. The lost are those who have yet to take refuge in God. They haven't tasted and seen that Yahweh is good. These are the people we are called to reach. Luke 19:1-2 Zaccheus was a bad man, engaged in a despicable profession that betrayed and exploited his own people. Luke 19:3-6 Jesus noticed Zaccheus. He wasn't so busy or task-oriented that he missed the wealthy man who had climbed the tree. As a high-status rabbi, inviting himself over to Zaccheus's house was a huge honor to Zaccheus. Luke 19:7 There will always be critics when you spend time with the lost. Even so, we want to be like Jesus and seek out those who are spiritually hungry. Luke 19:8-9 Zaccheus repented on the spot. He's ready to change his life. Love calls for a response. Martin Luther King used to say that love had within it a redemptive power. Luke 19:10 Jesus came to seek out and to save the lost. If you want to be like Jesus, you, too, should seek out the lost. Those who are lost really need help (Eph 2:12).The post Reaching the Lost first appeared on Living Hope.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reflecting on the tragedies of violence we continue to see, from the deaths of leaders and loved ones to school shootings that devastate communities. Drawing from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s reminder that darkness cannot drive out darkness and hatred cannot drive out hatred, this segment emphasizes that violence never brings justice, it only leaves pain and loss. Listeners are encouraged to be people of peace, to confront wrongs with courage but without cruelty, and to choose love, kindness, and compassion as the true path forward.

Send us a messageWhat does it say about our society when political assassinations are celebrated rather than condemned? Joe and Gooch tackle this unsettling question as they discuss the recent killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk and the disturbing social media reactions that followed.The hosts draw powerful parallels between Kirk's assassination and historical political murders, noting how figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy met similar fates for speaking truths that challenged the status quo. They examine how mainstream media has selectively quoted Kirk to vilify him while ignoring the nuance of his positions, including his refusal to accept funding offers from political powers."If you don't like to hear the truth, put earmuffs on and go on about your life," Joe suggests, highlighting a fundamental problem in modern discourse where disagreement too often leads to hatred rather than debate. The pair share their dismay at footage from the House of Representatives where attempts to hold a moment of silence for Kirk were met with disruptive behavior from political opponents.The conversation shifts to lighter territory as they celebrate Howard Stern's masterful retirement prank that fooled media outlets nationwide. As longtime Stern fans, they analyze his enduring appeal and the brilliance behind his latest media manipulation. The hosts also weigh in on a viral video of a woman stealing a baseball from a child at a Phillies game, discussing the swift consequences she faced for her actions.Whether examining serious ethical questions about political violence or sharing their passion for entertainment, Joe and Gooch deliver unfiltered perspectives that challenge listeners to think deeply about how we treat each other in an increasingly divided world.Support the showSupport our podcast E-Mail: theetalkers4us@gmail.com https://theetalkers.buzzsprout.com/shareFacebookthee•talkers•podacast (@theetalkers_podcast) | Instagramtheetalkers_podcast1 - Twitch(3) Theetalkers1 (@theetalkers1) / TwitterThee Talkers Podcast: Unscripted - YouTubepatreon.com/theetalkerspodtiktok.com/@theetalkerspodcasttheetalkers.buzzsprout.com

The assassination of Charlie Kirk They frame Kirk’s death as a political assassination, comparing it to historical killings of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts emphasize concerns about political violence, the dangers of polarization, and left-wing reactions online. They highlight messages of unity from unexpected voices on the left, such as Cenk Uygur, while contrasting that with those celebrating Kirk’s death. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz details violence by Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, citing statistics of tens of thousands of Christians killed and thousands of churches destroyed. He introduces the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which seeks to: Classify Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom. Keep Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa labeled as terrorist groups. Sanction Nigerian officials complicit in persecution. The discussion connects this to broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, criticizing past administrations (especially Obama and Biden) for not doing enough to defend persecuted Christians. Tucker Carlson’s controversial statements Carlson’s remarks about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning Hamas’s designation as a terrorist group, and sympathetic portrayals of Russia and Iran are strongly criticized. Cruz and Ferguson accuse Carlson of moral relativism, equating his views with those of progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. They reaffirm that groups like Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are terrorist organizations, citing both U.S. and international designations as well as historical attacks.

Following the murder of Trump ally Charlie Kirk, Christiane speaks with human rights activist Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights icon. The two discuss the rising political violence in America and the need to seek civility. Then, Michigan's Democratic Senator, Elissa Slotkin, speaks with Christiane about what America's foreign policy should look like, following Israel striking inside Qatar and Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Plus, freed Israeli hostage Liat Beinin Atzili & filmmaker Brandon Kramer join Christiane on set in London to discuss his new film "Holding Liat," looking at how Liat's family fought for her return from Hamas captivity while also grappling with their own moral outrage over the war in Gaza and desire for peace and reconciliation. Also, Isobel Yeung reports on the UK government's decision to designate Palestine Action a terrorist group. And twenty four years after 9/11, Christiane reflects on her own coverage in the chaotic days after the attacks, and goes back to her report from Afghanistan from December of 2001, where she and her team found evidence of Osama Bin Laden's plans, his Al-Qaeda training camp, and the last place he was known to have lived before fleeing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

IN PLAIN SIGHT: A Memoir Infused with Military Psychological Operations"What if Mars' nuclear ghosts are screaming a warning—and Earth isn't listening?"Jonathan Mark Haber's life has been a collision with hidden truths. Born in 1950s Brooklyn, he came of age as the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK shattered America's illusions—igniting his lifelong mission to dissect power. From draft resistance to founding Flyby News, Haber exposes how governments weaponize perception to bury inconvenient truths.Then came the revelation that rewrote history.Bart Jordan—a Manhattan Project physicist and NASA insider—revealed a nuclear detonation in Mars' Cydonia region, home to the infamous "Face" and "Signature Site 10" monuments. NASA data confirmed it: Martian atmospheric Xenon-129 isotopes—at twice the concentration of Earth's post-nuclear tests—proved a planet-wide apocalypse. But the deeper shock? The monuments' geometry encoded a warning: the distances of Mars' moons (Phobos and Deimos—"fear" and "terror") formed a temple-like formula, a cosmic plea against the abuse of light.This wasn't just science. It was a survival manual from a lost civilization.Interwoven with Haber's battles against chronic pain, kidney failure, and systemic deception, In Plain Sight bridges memoir and manifesto. It exposes:The PSYOP playbook (Apollo's illusions, 9/11's unanswered questions, COVID-19's psy-warfare).Elites repeating Mars' fatal mistakes—ignoring the *Xenon-129* red flag.UAPs and nuclear sites: Evidence that something—ancient AI or interstellar guardians—is forcing humanity to confront its self-destruction.In Plain Sight is more than a memoir—it's a manual for awakening. Because truth is the first casualty of war, and the first step toward peace. The choice is ours.https://amzn.to/4mi9lAzBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

It Takes Leaders with Vision to Help People with Dreams Have you ever stopped to remember that every single person you meet has a dream? Some of those dreams are massive—building companies, creating wealth, impacting millions of people. And some are simple but just as powerful—a dream for peace, joy, or to be truly happy again. In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most important truths I've ever learned: it takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams. I share how your love—love for your family, your spouse, your children, your team—has to be greater than your fear, your adversity, or your obstacles. Because if you're not attaching your vision to something bigger than yourself, it's too easy to quit. I walk you through the difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational—and why only one of these creates lasting transformation. We talk about the role of vision in leadership, not just in business, but in your home and in your own life. Whether you're leading a company, raising a family, or leading yourself, your job is to sell the dream—again and again—until everyone around you can see what you see. And here's the key: it can't just be words. You have to validate that vision with massive action so others know it's real. I share how leaders from Jesus to Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs created movements because they didn't just speak dreams, they embodied them. And I give you a roadmap for becoming that kind of leader—the kind whose love and vision make them unstoppable. Because the truth is, your dream isn't just about you. It's about the people whose lives you're meant to change when you finally step into your calling. Key Takeaways: Why every person you meet carries a dream in their heart The difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational How to attach your love to your vision so obstacles can't stop you The importance of repeatedly “selling the dream” in your family, business, and life Why your actions must validate your vision if you want to inspire others Your dream is waiting—and so are the people counting on you to lead them. Let's rise together. Max out. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
