In this solo reflection, Carl looks back on a Sunday spent at church, and on the freedom he and his neighbors in South Florida, Christian and Jewish alike, still have to worship openly. That freedom, he argues, is what is actually on the ballot this November, even though the conversation in most living rooms is about the price of gas. Carl argues the Communist Party's presence on this year's midterm ballot deserves far more attention than it is getting, and walks through what communism has meant everywhere it has taken hold: the USSR under Stalin, Mao's China, and the millions killed or stripped of the right to practice their faith. He traces today's rising antisemitism and anti-Christian sentiment back to what he calls decades of educational failure, a generation taught that capitalism is the problem and socialism the solution, without ever being taught what socialism actually cost the twentieth century. He points to a reported $100 million in Soros-backed funding for socialist and communist campaigns, and to New York City's recent mayoral election as a preview of what happens when people stay home instead of voting. Drawing a parallel to the roughly 12 percent of Russians who backed the Bolsheviks before the Russian Revolution, Carl recalls standing in Moscow's Red Square just after the fall of the Soviet Union, watching people openly pray in public for the first time in decades. His closing message is simple and urgent: whatever the price of gas is right now, it will come down, but a lost freedom to worship does not come back. Carl calls on every Christian and Jew listening, whatever their party, to vote, and to make sure everyone they know votes too.   In this episode: ➔ Why the Communist Party on This Ballot Should Alarm Every Christian and Jew ➔ The Price of Gas vs. the Price of Freedom: Don't Be Fooled ➔ From Moscow to New York City: What Happens When a Minority Seizes Power   Connect with Carl: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn YouTube X Linktree   Produced by: Social Chameleon

Would Kansas be admitted as a slave state? Would the US purchase Cuba from Spain (and perhaps admit it as another slave state)? And what could be done in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling in Dredd Scott vs. Sanford, that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories? These questions make 1858 one of the most consequential midterm elections in American history, as well as a great place to kick off RTN's midterm election series.   In this 4-part series, Ben and Bob, along with a few special guests, will be looking at what they consider to be the most important midterm elections in American history. With the midterms of 2026 just around the corner, we hope these episodes will put things in context and convince you that midterm elections are just as, and sometimes more important, than the Presidential elections that only roll around every 4 years.   Sources referenced in this conversation: -Joanne Freeman, The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2018). -James McPherson, Ordeal by Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction (McGraw-Hill, 2009). -Heather Cox Richardson, To Make Men Free: A History of the Republican Party (Basic Books, 2014).   This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher.

What Do You Do When Trump Decides You're Not A Citizen? My sister was born in Massachusetts in 1957 and has the birth certificate to prove it. But not according to Donald Trump's America. She is in Arizona and receives state aid. She just received a letter she is being cut off. Why? It says the SAVE System, the system the Supreme Court said Trump can use to verify citizenship, a system that was never designed to do so, says she is not a US Citizen. It is now up to her to appeal and prove she is. In the mean time? No benefits, and wait for it...she may not be able to vote. It's all a power grab to try and win the midterms. And the poorest among us will suffer, like her. Karel connects the dots on what's really a week-long lesson: legal progress, social acceptance, and institutional protection don't move together — and sometimes they move in opposite directions in the same seven days.

President Donald Trump’s latest United Nations address put Iran, China, Russia, Ukraine and America’s role in the world front and center. Tudor Dixon is joined by Heritage Foundation senior counselor and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. James Carafano to break down what Trump’s UN speech revealed about his foreign policy strategy and what could come next. Carafano explains why he believes Trump’s declaration that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon was one of the defining moments of the speech and discusses how the war in Iran could affect the midterm elections. He also examines the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, his recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and why Moscow remains central to any potential end to the conflict. Plus, Tudor and Carafano discuss President Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington, the growing strategic competition between the United States and China, the future of Taiwan, Venezuela and Latin America, and Trump’s approach to Greenland. What does Trump’s “America First” foreign policy mean for the global order—and could the changes underway outlast his presidency? Tudor and Carafano break it all down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many Americans are losing faith in elections. Proposed solutions from across the political spectrum to restore faith in the process — early voting, mail-in ballot restrictions and voter ID laws — seem to have the opposite effect.But lack of trust in elections is a symptom of a broader problem: America is living through an era of democratic dissatisfaction. That's what the New York University law professor Richard Pildes argues on this episode of “Interesting Times.” He and the guest host, Sarah Isgur, the editor of SCOTUSblog, discuss why Americans are so worried about the midterms and how to fix our electoral system and restore trust.00:00 Existential Election Anxiety02:38 Era of Democratic Dissatisfaction04:21 Were Recent Election Reforms a Mistake?06:09 Campaign Finance Reform09:22 SCOTUS and Trump's Mail-In Ballot Executive Order13:57 Why Did Trump Target Absentee Ballots?20:32 Should There Be a National Voter Database?23:58 Proof Of Citizenship Debate29:48 What Should SCOTUS Do?35:47 Partisan Manipulation in Elections42:24 Can the Midterms Be Stolen?44:51 Closing Thoughts(A full transcript of this episode is available on the Times website.)Thoughts?

Mary and Andrew begin by addressing President Trump banning CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO from White House grounds. Andrew calls the move “blatantly unconstitutional,” making an allusion to Nazi Germany and noting that the control of the free press is “the tool of autocrats”: “‘You will believe what I tell you and you will see only what I want you to see,'” he summarizes. Then, the co-hosts move to Trump's “vanity projects,” beginning with what they call the “Arc de Trumph” — a proposed 250-foot arch in Washington DC that Trump says will serve as a military complex. Then, more on the Kennedy Center drama: a federal judge has blocked Trump's name from being added to the building, after which Trump stated that the building will stay closed and without necessary renovations until that decision is reversed. Plus, several organizations file two lawsuits aimed at preemptively keeping federal agents from polling locations.
