Accurately diagnosing PTSD is the first step in getting a patient connected with the best care. But understanding and applying Criterion A (of the DSM-5) can be a challenge for even the most experienced clinician. The process can give Goldilocks vibes: are you being too lenient or too strict with the definition of “trauma?” On this episode, Drs. Carin Lefkowitz and Kevin Holloway are joined by Dr. Kelly Chrestman, a subject matter expert in PTSD. She helps us navigate the blurry edges of Criterion A as we try to get it “just right.”Kelly Chrestman, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience specializing in evidence-based treatments for trauma and stress-related conditions. As a Senior Military Mental Health Psychologist at the Consortium for Defense Psychology (CDP), she provides consultation and training both domestically and internationally, concentrating on stress and trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy.She is co-author of Prolonged Exposure for Adolescents with PTSD and co-developed the PTSD Learning Center and Operation AVATAR, an immersive learning platform hosted in Second Life. Her work merges rigorous scientific research with culturally informed practices, aiming to translate psychological principles into practical, actionable, and accessible tools for practitioners.Resources mentioned in this episode: Brewin, C.R., Lanius, R.A., Novac, A., Schnyder, U., Galea, S., 2009.

Disney is leaning harder than ever into adult collectors, and Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey look at how "kidulting" is reshaping the company's merchandise strategy. They also dig into Disney's upcoming anniversary-driven retail plans, the unusual merchandising challenge surrounding Walt Disney Animation Studios' Hexed, and the growing importance of collectibles aimed squarely at grown-up fans. Then Jim heads back to the earliest days of Disney toys for the story of Marx, Disney Kins, a massive West Virginia toy factory, and one tiny Timothy Mouse who may have gone on a very unexpected adventure. HIGHLIGHTS • Disney's Hexed faces an unusually compressed merchandise rollout after a major character change late in production. • Star Wars prepares for its 50th anniversary with new theatrical activity and a major consumer-products push. • Disney is already looking ahead to Mickey's 100th and Marvel's 90th as year-long merchandising opportunities. • "Kidulting" is becoming an increasingly important part of Disney's strategy as adults drive demand for toys, dolls, collectibles, and premium collaborations. • From limited-edition dolls to high-end fashion partnerships, Disney is finding new ways to reach fans wherever they already shop. • Listener Mike inspires a look back at Louis Marx and Company, one of Disney's earliest major toy partners. • The Marx factory in Glen Dale, West Virginia once became one of the world's largest toy-manufacturing operations. • Jim revisits Disney Kins, the tiny hand-painted figures that brought Mickey, Ludwig Von Drake, classic animated characters, and more to toy shelves beginning in the 1960s. • A childhood encounter with a very small Timothy Mouse Disney Kin gives Jim one of his more unusual collecting stories.

Dr. Erwin Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the Senior Pastor for 36 years. He is the speaker on the Running to Win radio broadcast. Dr. Lutzer is an award-winning author. Some of his titles include We Will Not Be Silenced, The Eclipse of God, When a Nation Forgets God, One Minute After You Die and many others. Dr. Lutzer is with us today discussing his newest book which he co-authored with Dr. Gregg Quiggle titled Marx and Moody: Two Contemporaries. Two Gospels. Two Tombstones. One Choice. These two names are the epitome of a contrast: Karl Marx and D.L. Moody. The contrasts between these men could not be greater. They made similar promises, promises of freedom and a better world. Yet the lessons they left behind are as divergent as night and day. One sought to liberate people but ultimately enslaved them. The other preached forgiveness from sin and set people free. It's important for you to listen intently today because the worldviews those two represented many decades ago are at full play in our present society.

The heart of this week's episode lies in the question of class. With Konsa seemingly a given, which combination of players from the following “classes” of defenders offers the best way to complete your backline: a premium playing for a good team with high clean sheet odds, a Vušković-type DEFCON magnet that'll tick along over the course of the season, or an explosive attacking fullback whose returns fluctuate depending on their fixture run? We extend this structural analysis to the midfielders with a social scientific bend—Bruno sits at the top, monarchical; the Palmer-Saka class of aristocrats follows; after that, the £7.0m–£8.0m bourgeoisie; then, the working class, comprised of DEFCON warriors like Alex Scott and Mamadou Sangaré; and finally, the (with all due respect) peasant-like bench fodder. One must wonder, how would Marx have played FPL?Follow us on Twitter: @FplFortress
I dette Civita-foredraget forteller Lars Fr. H. Svendsen historien om en uvanlig rastløs filosof: Robert Nozick, en tenker som stadig forlot spørsmålene han hadde besvart, for å finne noen nye. Nozick begynte som sosialist, leste Marx med begeistring og endte som det 20. århundrets mest berømte filosofiske forsvarer av minimalstaten. Med «Anarchy, State, and Utopia» fra 1974 utfordret han hele forestillingen om at staten har rett til å omfordele goder for å skape et mer rettferdig samfunn. Individet har rettigheter ingen andre har lov til å krenke, hevdet Nozick – selv når krenkelsen skjer i den beste hensikt. Men Nozick nektet å bli værende i rollen som libertarianismens filosofiske guru. Han gikk videre til spørsmål om kunnskap, fri vilje, rasjonalitet, kjærlighet, mening og død – og ga oss opplevelsesmaskinen, et av moderne filosofis mest berømte tankeeksperimenter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Live from London (Sept 16, 2026) | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 153)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/ADBp2WNtUfkTrump just handed the Red Sea to Iran's proxies — so why is Yaron Brook filming a documentary at Karl Marx's grave instead of talking about it?Yaron Brook is broadcasting live from London — shooting documentary footage at Karl Marx's actual grave, at the original London Stock Exchange, and beside the statues of Adam Smith and John Locke — and he's not happy about what's happening back home. While he's been filming, the Trump administration has reportedly cut a deal letting Iran's Houthi militia choke off a global oil choke point and abandon Saudi Arabia entirely. Yaron calls it out for what it is: a strategic surrender that resurrects Iran from defeat. He also explains — bluntly — why he refuses to debate a popular anarchist YouTuber, why anarchism can never be Objectivism no matter what its fans call themselves, and why AI should face liability, not regulators.Then he opens the floor: Trump vs. Hitler comparisons, whether rights are contextual, where altruism actually came from, what "FU money" would really change about his life, and what it means to become American.Unfiltered, live, from London.
Karl Marx and D.L. Moody. The contrast between these men could not be greater. These two men represent opposing worldviews that have competed throughout history—views that are very much alive today. Marxist ideas are surfacing all over the world, infiltrating even the most unlikely places here in America. Pastor emeritus of The Moody Church, Erwin Lutzer will join us to reveal the seduction and impact of Marxist ideology. He will showcase the difference between a man-centered worldview and a God-centered worldview, critiquing Marxism through the lens of the Bible while exploring the nature of God, humanity, and the consequences of ideas.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This lecture reflects on hope as a core Christian theme, beginning with the reading of 1 Peter 1:3–9. The speaker emphasizes that God has given believers new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that this hope is tied to an inheritance kept in heaven.The message then places that passage in the context of uncertainty and suffering. It describes the early Christian movement as small, fragile, and facing persecution, and explains that Peter writes to encourage believers living under real threat. The speaker connects this to the present, arguing that the world still feels marked by anxiety and helplessness.A central point of the lecture is that Christian hope is not generic optimism. The speaker contrasts biblical hope with historical criticisms of hope from figures such as Hesiod, Plato, Nietzsche, Marx, and others, who treated hope as misleading, passive, or manipulative. Instead, the lecture says Christian hope has a specific object: Jesus Christ, who was crucified and raised from the dead.The sermon also explains that Christian hope has a future goal. It points to the salvation of souls, understood as the full renewal of the person, including bodily resurrection. The speaker says this hope addresses not only personal guilt but also wider human threats such as violence, greed, and spiritual evil.Finally, the lecture describes what living hope should produce in practice. It should lead Christians to endure suffering, help others, and work for long-term good even when results are not immediate. Examples include care during historical epidemics and ongoing service in the city. The sermon closes by saying that St. Moses Church must remain centered on Jesus, since he is presented as the church's only hope.
Chuck and Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Colorado GOP Turmoil, Weld County's AI Data Center Fight, and a Leaderless Party with Trent Leisy VIDEO: 1. School Walkout 2. German Election Cheering Promo: Grassroots warrior Trent Leisy joins the show to talk about his new column, Red, White and Real. Plus CD5 Rep. Jeff Crank calls on DOJ to investigate just who was behind the so-called “student” walkouts and ICE protests and who are the adults and NGOs who encouraged the kids to violently attack counter protesters. Chuck Bonniwell hosts solo this week, joined by returning guest and Colorado Republican activist Trent Leisy for a wide-ranging tour of state GOP politics, from a pay-to-play midterm convention in Dallas to Weld County's fight over a new AI data center, plus a caller's questions about Elon Musk's campaign money. Chuck Flies Solo, Welcomes Trent Leisy Chuck Bonniwell opens the show without his usual co-host, joking that he is "missing my better half" but ready to soldier on, and welcomes back Trent Leisy, a former Congressional District 4 candidate who has stayed active in Colorado Republican circles. Bonniwell recalls how Leisy encountered "the underbelly of politics" during that race but kept going afterward. Leisy explains that once Scott Bottoms lost the primary, he spent a couple of weeks reflecting on what he wanted to do next. He describes the result: weekday Substack columns under the name Red, White, and Red that highlight pro-Trump stories the mainstream media tends to bury, plus a new podcast he is preparing to launch called Red, White, and Real. He says he simply enjoys researching and writing about politics every morning. The two settle into an easy, familiar rapport as they turn to the Colorado Republican Party's recent midterm convention and the fight ahead for the 2026 elections. A Pay-To-Play Convention In Dallas Bonniwell describes the Colorado Republican Party's midterm convention, held in Dallas rather than a true statewide gathering, as more of a rally than a convention, noting that Colorado effectively sold its delegate seats to California attendees willing to pay, raising roughly $14,000 for a cash-strapped party. Leisy calls the event a good idea for keeping Republicans motivated heading into a midterm year that historically favors the party out of power, warning that two years of a Democrat-controlled House would mean daily impeachment attempts against Trump. He says the message from Trump is essentially to stay unified behind Republican candidates, even imperfect ones, to protect the House majority. Leisy also criticizes the pay-to-play structure itself, noting that attendees had to pay the already troubled Colorado GOP for a ticket, and questions whether that money represents genuine grassroots support or simply funds an organization he describes as "a complete mess" and "a train wreck." Victor Marx, Closed Primaries, and Down-Ballot Math Asked about gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx, Leisy admits mixed feelings: he backed Scott Bottoms, served as his communications director, and remains unenthusiastic about Marx, yet he urges Weld County Republicans not to skip voting, arguing the party cannot afford to fall into a legislative supermajority under Democrat Phil Weiser. Bonniwell agrees, calling Marx "incredibly interesting, crazy, crooked" but arguing Republicans who refuse to vote over disliking a nominee only help Democrats pass a progressive tax structure. Leisy contends the primary would have gone to Bottoms outright under a closed primary system, blaming unaffiliated voters who lean Democrat for steering the nomination toward a weaker candidate, and noting every other step of the Republican process, caucuses, assemblies, petitions, requires party registration except the final vote. Bonniwell traces the state's semi-open primary back to 2016, partly credited to Weld County figures like Barbara Kirkmeyer, and hopes a pending court order restoring a caucus-only path might reinvigorate a moribund party organization. An Absent Chair and Dave Williams' Legacy The conversation turns to the state party's current leadership vacuum. Bonniwell complains that the sitting Colorado GOP chair, a first-time office holder out of Buena Vista named Craig Steiner, never reaches out, joking that "they don't even send us flowers." Leisy says he rarely sees the chair in interviews or on television and barely notices him in the news. Both men predict the mild-mannered new chair will accomplish little, while former chair Brita Horn quietly benefits by comparison after what they call a disastrous tenure marked by lingering legal bills and ethics complaints. The two repeatedly praise former chair Dave Williams, now working in Washington on human-trafficking issues at the State Department, as the sharpest and most effective chair either can remember, crediting him with actually growing the party's legislative seats despite fierce internal opposition from establishment figures. Bonniwell contrasts Williams' intelligence with predecessors he considers intellectually limited, arguing that big donors like Anschutz and Coors have abandoned traditional party politics in favor of controllable jungle primaries instead. Weld County's AI Data Center and Justice Center Fights The discussion shifts to Weld County, where Leisy describes two flashpoints reshaping local politics. County commissioners face an imminent vote, originally expected Wednesday, on a large AI data center after public pushback prompted them to pause and slow the project; Bonniwell argues such centers generate relatively few jobs but substantial property-tax revenue, provided officials avoid rebate deals, and Leisy explains this facility recirculates its cooling water rather than consuming it continuously. Separately, commissioners are pursuing a controversial new justice center that Leisy says would require bypassing the county's TABOR charter to borrow money without a public vote, angering residents who feel shut out of both decisions. Sheriff Steve Reams, who is running for county commissioner, has publicly opposed the justice center, earning cautious praise from Bonniwell despite past frustration with his more establishment-aligned positions. Leisy credits new county GOP chair Adrienne Sandoval with bringing fresh, independent thinking to a historically establishment-dominated Republican organization in Weld County. Ballot Harvesting, Tina Peters, and a Caller Named Jacob Bonniwell recounts pioneering ballot harvesting in Colorado in 2002, winning a Glendale race lopsidedly by collecting no-fault absentee ballots door to door, and argues Republican clerks have since undermined the party by embracing Democrat-friendly rules; he cites clerks statewide who fought to keep Tina Peters jailed and criticizes Weld County's outgoing clerk, Carly Koppes, while welcoming incoming clerk Rudy Santos. A caller named Jacob breaks in to ask whether Leisy is coordinating with Elon Musk, who has pledged $400 million toward Republican campaigns, and complains that television pundits are fretting over the midterm convention overlapping the NFL season opener, insisting viewers can simply watch both live and on replay. Leisy jokes that he has Musk on speed dial before Bonniwell presses him for more Colorado Republicans worth admiring, prompting mentions of Joe Oltmann and a new conservative organization Leisy is helping launch. Leisy closes by touting Weld County's incoming slate, assessor Jason Marez, clerk Rudy Santos, and sheriff candidate Matt Turner, before plugging his Substack and upcoming podcast as Bonniwell signs off, missing Julie Hayden's return next time.
Welcome to a special, long-form collaboration: The Regrettable Century and VarnVlog combined in our Captain Planet team of pessimism. Today, we are opening up a comprehensive multi-part investigation into New York Times columnist Ross Douthat's landmark 2020 thesis, The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victim of Our Own Success. Drawing its name and conceptual infrastructure from Jacques Barzun's classic From Dawn to Decadence, Douthat's work defines a decadent society not as a spectacular moral collapse, but as an advanced state of structural stasis. It is a condition where a society remains remarkably wealthy off of past advancement and technologically proficient off of prior development—what Marxists would define as the crushing weight of dead labor—yet is fundamentally unable to advance any further economically, scientifically, or culturally. Douthat paradoxically kicks off his book by quoting Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci on the interregnum—the morbid symptoms that emerge when the old is dying and the new cannot be born. We seize on this crossover, exposing a fascinating systemic reality: modern post-liberal, distributist, and traditionalist conservatives are quietly haunted by the exact same structural trends that Marx tracked via the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. They observe secular stagnation all around them, yet must look to Aristotle, Ibn Khaldun, Adam Smith, or David Ricardo to describe it because they are ideologically barred from admitting Marx was right. We parse through the first major horseman of the book—Stagnation—and apply it to our 2026 material realities: The Let's-Pretend Economy: We re-read Douthat's pre-COVID evaluation of tech "unicorns" like Uber and WeWork. We map how this pattern of "let's pretendism" has seamlessly mutated into the massive generative AI and large language model (LLM) bubble—where over-inflated tech valuations run on billions of dollars of burning venture capital while generating zero real-world productivity growth. The Chip Monopoly Mirage: Why the only true driver of physical profitability in the Magnificent Seven stock cluster remains the actual commodity production of silicon chips, while the rest of the tech ecosystem functions as an elite real-estate leasing scam. The Demography Bomb: A preliminary look at the collapse of global social reproduction. We track why the aging out of the Baby Boomers and the severe contraction of global birth rates have left the imperial core, Europe, and China facing identical structural resource deadlocks. The Geopolitical Quagmire: How the escalating cost structures of the permanent arms economy prevent the Western core from manufacturing basic munitions efficiently, trapping modern empires into proxy-war management. We strip away the shallow, vibes-based discourse of the modern culture wars to map out the long-durée arc of a global system running out of track. Read the history, check the material baselines, and protect your peace. Douthat, Ross. The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success. New York: Avid Reader Press, 2020.

The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 1: Peter Boyles takes a wild ride through Colorado politics, starting with the bizarre resurfacing of Republican gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx’s claim that he encountered Satan while leading a Bible study inside a Texas maximum-security youth prison. Peter and his callers debate whether Marx is the answer to Colorado’s political madness—or the ultimate political novelty—as Peter repeatedly asks, “How can it be worse?” The conversation also turns serious with the Denver mayor’s security detail pulling a gun on a man carrying a knife outside Union Station, raising questions about self-defense, concealed carry and whether the rules are different when it’s the mayor who needs protection. Plus, callers weigh in on Colorado’s political direction, people leaving the state, crumbling roads, campaign strategy, and plenty of Peter’s musical and pop-culture detours.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 4: Peter Boyles discusses Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx after playing audio of Marx describing an encounter with “the devil” and “Satan in person.” A caller who met Marx at the Colorado State Fair shares his impressions of the candidate and what Marx told him about President Trump, his campaign and how he plans to approach policy. The hour also includes extensive conversations about professional wrestling legends including The Crusher, Baron Von Raschke, Bruno Sammartino, the Iron Sheik and Ric Flair, along with a discussion of George Custer, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, the Ghost Dance and the history of U.S. treatment of Native Americans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 2: Peter Boyles dives into the bizarre world of Denver politics after Mayor Mike Johnston’s security detail pulled a gun on a man carrying a knife at Union Station, raising the question: what would happen if an ordinary Denver citizen did the same thing? Then things get even stranger as Peter revisits gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx’s jaw-dropping story about confronting what he says was a demon claiming to be Satan inside a Texas prison, sparking a lively debate with callers over whether Marx really “met the devil.” The hour also touches on immigration, the border, the census and political representation, COVID vaccine mandates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and missing money, plus a hilarious detour into the world of Lassie, before Peter appears to make his choice for Colorado governor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Salmo 53:1“Dice el necio en su corazón: No hay Dios. Se han corrompido, e hicieron abominable maldad; No hay quien haga bien".¿Se ha dado cuenta de que muchos de los más admirados ateos provienen de un trasfondo del área científica? Podría citar docenas - Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett y Stephen Hawking, para nombrar unos pocos. Miles de personas son admiradores del difunto Carl Sagan y su discípulo, Neil deGrass Tyson. Algunos de estos ateos son prácticamente superestrellas con seguidores que ascienden a millones.Pues bien, Charles Darwin tuvo su cuota de seguidores también. En el principio, el Origen de las Especies fue aceptado no por ningún mérito científico sino porque ofrecía una alternativa racional a lo milagroso. Los primeros seguidores de Darwin no eran científicos de la época, sino teólogos que rechazaban los milagros de la Biblia.Cada uno de los seguidores de Darwin tenía sus propios motivos para aceptar la teoría de la evolución. Pero uno de sus más notables seguidores fue Karl Marx. Como autor del Manifiesto Comunista, Marx encontró el principio de la lucha-hasta-la-muerte de la selección natural una perfecta confirmación de su propia visión de la lucha de clases del hombre. En agradecimiento, Marx, envió a Darwin una copia de su Das Kapital en 1873.Seis años más tarde, Marx escribió a Darwin, solicitando permiso para dedicarle su próximo volumen. Pero Darwin declinó el ofrecimiento, explicando que "sería doloroso para ciertos miembros de su familia si se asocia con un libro tan ateo".¡A veces me pregunto si Darwin se revolvería en su tumba si supiera de los horrores que se ha solicitado que su teoría justifique en los últimos dos siglos!Oración: Padre Celestial, no sigo a ningún hombre. En lugar de ello, Sigo a tu Hijo, Jesucristo, que murió para darme la vida eterna. Sólo Él es digno de mi alabanza. Amén.Ref: Ian T. Taylor, En la mente de los hombres: Darwin y el Nuevo Orden Mundial (TFE Publicación y Momentos de la Creación, Sexta edición, 2008).

What does it feel like, in our bodies, to be in a Marxist reading group or an anarchist direct action collective? What unexamined stories, from our profoundly traumatizing experiences of development, do we carry into political organizing structures? What relational patterns do we experience in situations ranging from families to graduate school that we then repeat, using new language and frames of reference, when we try to save the world? What does it mean to be a revolutionary, in terms of the core relational and perceptual shifts we wish to effect in ourselves and others? Do political groups kinda resemble cults sometimes? In this episode, Arnold and Adam speak about their highly overlapping experiences of political engagement and philosophical reflection. Adam, a psychotherapist and social worker with an extensive background in Marxist theory and practice, is the host of the Subjective Conditions podcast, which returns from hiatus this fall, focusing on “the mind and the body under capitalism.” His other projects include the Red Library podcast, the Capillaries theory blog, and a forthcoming book called Saturn's Maw, draft chapters of which are spread between Capillaries and his psychotherapy website.
Radio Free Humanity: “Episode 162: Defending Marx's Circuit of Capital Part 1 (Interview with Alan Freeman and Guido De Marco)” The co-hosts welcome Alan Freeman and Guido De Marco, co-editors of a new volume on Marx's circuit of capital, for the first of a two-part discussion on the subject.
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 2, 2026. We open by taking on House Minority Whip Katherine Clark's claim that Americans don't care about the "socialism" label, and we push back hard, arguing that if the word were meaningless, Democrats wouldn't work so hard to distance themselves from it. We trace the line from Marx's Communist Manifesto to the Soviet Union's own self-description to Zohran Mamdani's push for government-run grocery stores in New York City, making the case that socialism and communism are one and the same, and that Americans' everyday worries about groceries, housing, and gas prices are really debates about capitalism versus government control. In our Top 3, we cover the latest round of US strikes on Iran after Iranian forces threatened the Strait of Hormuz, the House passing a short-term spending bill that averts a government shutdown, and 80-year-old Senator Ed Markey's primary win over Congressman Seth Moulton in Massachusetts. We also dig into a fresh YouGov poll finding that a small but growing share of Democrats believe the country focuses too much on 9/11, and we argue that number, however small, still matters because our enemies benefit whenever America grows complacent about that day. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about how wedding registries have changed, from china and crystal to Christmas trees and rugs, and how weddings themselves have ballooned into full productions driven by social media. From there we look at Elon Musk's prediction of a billion humanoid robots within a decade and debate whether he's forecasting the future or selling it, before Digging Deep into a new Gallup poll showing a record 89% of Americans now believe government corruption is widespread, up ten points from just last year, and we connect that spike to COVID-era spending fraud and the DOGE investigations that followed. We get a laugh out of New York Governor Kathy Hochul quietly dropping the state's requirement that liquor license applicants disclose whether patrons will be dancing, and we hand out a Bright Spot to Speaker Mike Johnson for introducing a constitutional amendment that would lock the Supreme Court at nine justices, which leads us into a wish list of other amendments we'd like to see, from a balanced budget requirement to repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments. We close by expressing our disgust that vandals defaced Dolly Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame barely a week after her death, and we leave you with Words of Wisdom on the Constitution from Calvin Coolidge, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Abraham Lincoln, and John Adams.

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, he's a little slow on the uptake, but it seems like GOP nominee for Colorado Governor Victor Marx is finally realizing he's probably in a lot of trouble for his fake merch store scam. Then, a shoutout to AG of the pod and the 99.999% likely next Governor of Colorado, Phil Weiser, for cutting two huge deals to protect Colorado, even though he's not even Governor yet! Gabe Evans is the Big Liar of 2026 as pro-Trump fake think tanks spread fake news about his one accomplishment, which is also fake. And we dig into debates, campaign ads, and a warning from our neighbors to the north. We also pose the question: could the Colorado GOP pass a "Turing Test"?That's it for this episode!

Karl Marx and D.L. Moody lived at the same time, watched the same cities industrialize, and asked the same question about the poor. One had a doctorate, wealthy patrons, and a theory of history. The other had about five years of formal schooling and a Bible. Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Gregg Quiggle about Marx and Moody: Two Contemporaries. Two Gospels. Two Tombstones. One Choice., the new book Quiggle co-wrote with Erwin Lutzer for Moody Publishers. They work through where Marx's system runs out of road, particularly its silence on how a state ever relinquishes power, and why that silence traces back to a thin account of the human heart. They also take up Moody's conviction that charity is life on life rather than a check sent across the tracks, the difference between the early church in Acts and state redistribution, and the harder question Quiggle raises near the end: how much traction would any of this have today if evangelical churches had actually taken up Moody's model of hands-on engagement in their own communities?

Breht sits down with philosopher Colin Bodayle for a wide-ranging exploration of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, one of the most influential and notoriously difficult works in modern philosophy. Together they unpack Hegel's account of consciousness, contradiction, freedom, recognition, history, and the dialectical movement through which human beings come to understand themselves and the world. Along the way, the conversation traces Hegel's immense influence on Marx and considers why his philosophy remains so important for anyone trying to think seriously about liberation, social transformation, and the development of human consciousness. ---------------------------------------------------------- Check out our Summer RLR Merch HERE Learn more about Rev Left HERE Check out Unlearning Capitalism for more political educational resources
"There is nothing theorizable or interesting about death," Tom Krell says 30 minutes into his appearance on my podcast about death. He's speaking precisely. By "death," he means what he's learned of it from watching those close to him die. The annihilation of self. The finality of it. What he's not doing is dismissing the topic. Tom earned his PhD in philosophy, metaphysics specifically, so it makes sense he's intentional and unsparing with his words. But he also makes this beautiful music.Under the name How to Dress Well, his art-damaged R&B soundtracked my bike rides the summer before my coma in 2014. Since then, his music has grown deeper and more promiscuous. He incorporates metal, noise, and field recordings on tracks with lyrics about the hegemony of realism and intergenerational trauma. But it's all wrapped around a spine of primal, haunting melody. In our conversation, Tom tells me how important it is for him to use direct language to discuss philosophical ideas. And that is what he's doing with his music. He piles layers of sound and meaning onto melodies to bury the ideas and feelings deep. I'm still listening.This episode also includes the fun of Tom claiming Hegel, Heidegger, and Marx are easy to grasp and the rare TIYA exclusive! Here it is: Tom plans to call the new How to Dress Well album "Glow Palimpsest No Hell."We talk about: working on philosophy in piecemeal while touring, writing about your own work, Gaspar Noe's Climax, exoteric vs. esoteric, his version of the "terribly stupid" movie Memento, consciousness as Hegelian "picture thinking," metaphysical cope.This Is Your Afterlife is made possible by listeners like you on Patreon.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Pastor Erwin Lutzer joins Eric to discuss his new book Marx and Moody: Two Contemporaries, Two Gospels, Two Tombstones. Lutzer explores Karl Marx's writings about Satan, hell, revolution, religion, family, private property, and the ideas behind the Communist Manifesto. He contrasts Marx with evangelist D.L. Moody, whose Christian preaching reached enormous audiences in Britain and America, and examines why the battle between Marxism and Christianity remains relevant today.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

We check back into Room Service, this time putting the spotlight on listener comments about the much-debated 1938 Marx adaptation of the Broadway hit. We rethink the film's restrained version of the team, missed opportunities, and which brother surprisingly fares best. It's a lively back-and-forth featuring defenses, complaints, fresh observations and some wonderfully specific nitpicking. By the end, Room Service may not have won everyone over, but it certainly gives us plenty to argue about.
In 1973's Soylent Green, Charlton Heston discovers the miracle food is made of people. In 2026, we're being sold something similar. There is nothing artificial about artificial intelligence. The name was a branding exercise, invented at Dartmouth in 1956 by a man who didn't want to argue with Norbert Wiener about cybernetics. Strip out the god and what's left is the accumulated cognitive labour of humanity, compressed and sold back to us for twenty dollars a month. Not artificial. Collective. Which changes the question from "will the machine wake up" to "who enclosed the commons this time?" On Dartmouth, the Enclosure Acts, Marx's Fragment on Machines, and Vince Gilligan's Pluribus.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 2: Peter Boyles digs into the Colorado governor’s race with longtime Republican strategist Dick Wadhams, focusing on Victor Marx, Greg Lopez and Phil Weiser—and the growing debate over whether Republicans should support Marx, vote for Lopez as a repudiation of the GOP nominee, or turn to a Libertarian candidate. The conversation then turns sharply to privacy and surveillance, with callers weighing in on Flock cameras, Halo cameras, automated license-plate readers, facial recognition, data collection, smartphones and health-tracking devices, the Fourth Amendment, the Patriot Act, Palantir and the idea that technology designed for security can also be used against innocent people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The roots of the sexual revolution go much farther back than the cultural upheaval of the 60’s and 70’s. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Historian Carl Trueman traced its roots from Romanticism through Nietzsche, Marx and others. China continues to be the rumbling threat behind the beneath our feet and Bill Gertz once again helped us understand why we ignore that threat to our national peril. He addressed what happened with the coronavirus in 2018 and what led a Pentagon official to offer his praise to the nation. Financial expert Sean Castle shared his biblically based insight into planning and investing and planning for the future. Lawrence Reed joined us to share the story of God’s providential hand in establishing this nation and the revolutionary ideas of liberty, faith and personal responsibility that have sustained it for these 250 years. Once again, we are using God’s straight stick of truth to examine some of the most challenging headlines of the week.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a wake-up call for the Republican Party, and it's not just about one person or one issue - it's about the party's values and its willingness to hold its own members accountable.The speaker takes on a Facebook comment from a listener who criticized him for not being critical enough of Democrats, but the speaker argues that he's actually been holding Republicans accountable for their actions, and that's what's really missing from the party. He shares a story about a Republican candidate who's been accused of running his supporters' money through a secret company in Wyoming, and the speaker questions whether the party will defend its own members when they're caught doing something wrong.The conversation touches on the importance of holding elected officials accountable, the dangers of tribalism, and the need for the Republican Party to stand up for what's right, even if it's not popular. The speaker also shares a personal story about being vilified for speaking out against wrongdoing, and how that experience taught him the importance of being a voice for truth and accountability.If you're tired of seeing the Republican Party lose elections because it's too afraid to hold its own members accountable, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's passionate argument for why it's time for a change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman joins us to show how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he will outline the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explain the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.

Why do we need a nuclear family? What actually determines the difference between a boy and a girl? These feel like brand-new questions, but the ideas that make them askable were actually seeded four hundred years ago. Dr. Jordan Cooper joins us to trace them back to their source.ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lutheran theologian and pastor Dr. Cooper walks Josh through the philosophical roots of the modern progressive mind and the broader philosophy of the left: Descartes and Cartesian doubt, Kant's Copernican Revolution, Hume's empiricism and skepticism, Hobbes's social contract theory, and Thomas Paine's radical individualism, the intellectual scaffolding beneath everything from critical theory to postmodernism. It's the same scaffolding underneath the questions above. Once Hume argues that even something as basic as cause and effect is just an assumption rather than a certainty, and Kant argues that categories like space and time are imposed by the mind rather than discovered in the world, the door opens to treating categories like family and gender the same way: not given, but constructed, and open to being remade.Dr. Cooper's book Makers of the Modern Mind grew out of years doing campus ministry at Cornell, watching students absorb progressive assumptions and secular philosophy they'd never actually examined. Drawing on his background in Lutheran theology and Christian apologetics, this conversation is a guided tour through where those assumptions came from, and why the question underneath almost all of them, in philosophy, politics, and the modern culture wars alike, is simply: what is a human being?0:00 – Introduction1:14 – Dr. Jordan Cooper2:45 – Lutheran Branding Problem4:21 – Makers of the Modern Mind10:23 – Union With Christ Doctrine16:30 – Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum26:38 – Kant's Copernican Revolution31:33 – David Hume's Skepticism42:35 – Thomas Paine & Liberalism51:21 – Right Vs Left Liberalism56:52 – Applying Philosophy TodayABOUT THE GUEST:
The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy: Why the Right Blames the Frankfurt School for the Decline of the West (Verso Books, 2026) is the definitive history of a dangerous right-wing conspiracy theory. “Cultural Marxism” is one of the far right's favorite buzzwords. But despite its currency, the meaning and origins of the term are rarely investigated. This book uncovers the bizarre story of the cult leaders, right-wing intellectuals, and White House officials who believe a coterie of left-wing scholars and students is plotting to undermine Western civilization. Drawing on years of archival research and using the tools of critical theory, A.J.A. Woods reveals how a group of German thinkers known as the Frankfurt School was recast as the sinister orchestrators of a global conspiracy. Instead of simply debunking this conspiracy theory, Woods offers a sharp analysis and critique of the political movements that have declared war on all that passes for Cultural Marxism in the US, the UK, and Brazil. Only when we understand the practices and weaknesses of those reactionaries committed to fighting this illusory threat—a conflict causing real-world damage—can we effectively resist. This is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand the ideological currents shaping politics in the twenty-first century. A.J.A. Woods is an intellectual historian who lives in Brighton, England. In 2022, Woods received a PhD from the Centre for the Study of Theory and Criticism at Western University, Canada. Their writings on conspiracy theories and reactionary politics have been translated into four languages and appeared in Open Democracy, Patterns of Prejudice, and Marx & Philosophy Review of Books. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Matthew traces the concept of wetiko — a Cree figure for a cannibal spirit whose hunger grows with what it consumes — from its original anticolonial and anti-imperialist meaning in Jack Forbes's 1992 book Columbus and Other Cannibals, through Derrick Jensen's anti-civilization lense, Ladha and Kirk's 2016 application to neoliberal capitalism, Paul Levy's syncretic New Age elaboration, and finally to Bernhard Guenther and Laura Matsue's QAnon-adjacent version. Wetiko's metaphysical framing, inherited from Forbes's explicit rejection of Marxist materialism, left the concept open to spiritual recuperation by the right. He proposes a different application: reading wetiko through David Harvey's "capital surplus absorption problem," compound growth's insatiable hunger for profitable outlets.

Cajun karate black belt, ex-marine, gun disarm master, demon hunter, pedophile hunter, and Colorado gubernatorial candidate, Victor Marx (no relation), has a storied past that's details have evolved with him over the years leading to, at times, more questions than answers. Was he a state champion trumpet player? Did he kill a man at 7 years old? And just how many demons has he exorcised? Today Travis breaks down Marx's claims and as the stories get stranger, Julian and Jake also slowly break down until they grind to a halt on the side of the interstate. Later we are joined by the investigations editor for The American Prospect and senior fellow at the American Economic Liberties Project, Maureen Tkacik. Her June investigation, “Onward Christian Soldier,” examines Marx's purported rescue work, the ministry and political networks surrounding him, and the making of his “hardcore pastor” persona.
