Podcasts about Multiculturalism

Western elites tend to be xenophilic. They love the cultural other, and they abhor the dullness and small mindedness they see in their own countrymen. But, as Chris Bayliss points out, this is typically combined with what he describes as a “studiously parochial” attitude towards what the cultural other is actually like.In his writing for The Critic Magazine, Chris often draws from his experiences of living and working overseas, including as a diplomat. Today we discuss the many areas of British public life that have been radically transformed by mass immigration from parts of the world in which very different cultural assumptions prevail. What happens when one of the most individualistic cultures in the history of the world invites large numbers of immigrants from some of the least individualistic cultures? Hosted on Acast.

Carl and Dan discuss how the murder of Henry Nowak reveals the explicit nature of two-tier Britain.

[00:30] George Floyd in Reverse (36 minutes) Newly released police bodycam footage has ignited a public outcry about the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in December 2025. Nowak died from multiple stab wounds after UK police arrested him instead of the Sikh man who stabbed him. Officers prioritized the murderer's lie that Nowak used a racial slur over the teenager's pleas that he had been stabbed by his accuser. Nowak's case is a direct inversion of the George Floyd case, which created many of the racial bias policies that police officers now follow. Will anything change after this new tragedy? [35:55] Study Like Mr. Armstrong (19 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong set a remarkable example of deep, life-changing Bible study.

Demography is destiny. The ancient Sikhs understood this instinctively. The Khalsa ruled majority Hindu and Muslim populations through force, strategic manipulation and the fear of Sikh sovereignty. Chanakya pointed out that the elephant fears the goad in the hands of its master. This was the Sikh art of ruling.Edward Lang's recent speech on the Hindu Muslim demographic takeover of Texas is not radical. It is what every Sikh leader should have been saying for decades. While Lang and his kind are no great friends of the Sikhs they are saying something that Sikh boomer leadership should have started thinking about after the 1980s. Sikhs cannot keep relying on a fast unravelling west.Guru Nanak Dev Ji warned us in his own Gurbani at Ang 1190 about the demographic conquest of Islamic ideology. Guru Gobind Singh Ji demonstrated the Khalsa response at Alsoon. Kavi Sainapati records in his eyewitness account Sri Gur Sobha how Guru Gobind Singh Ji razed the village of Alsoon to the ground after its inhabitants provided intelligence to Hindu kings and Mughals against Sikhs, abducted and harassed Sikh women and refused to pay tribute to the Khalsa despite living in Sikh territory.This was not cruelty. This was Chanakya Neeti applied through Gurmat. Demographic security through decisive sovereign action.Sikh boomer leadership had a moment after 9/11 where the West was asking questions about demographics and civilizational conflict. Instead of engaging honestly from the Khalsa's historical perspective they retreated into secular liberal apologetics. Sikhs were never secular. The Khalsa controlled majority populations through force and strategic manipulation. That wisdom was abandoned and Punjab is paying the price today.The Hindu Muslim demographic war against Sikhs is more real than it is against the West. Mosques are rising across Doaba, Majha and Malwa. Bihari Sanataanis have entered Punjab en masse. Punjabi Christians are increasing. The demographic catastrophe is not coming. It is already here.Demography is destiny. Multiculturalism is a hollow illusion without the force of arms. Will we renew Guru Gobind Singh Ji's call at Alsoon or not?

Truth telling with young women Bianca, Tovani, Sasha and Keheelia in NAARM (Melbourne). They share with us their thoughts on reconciliation and wise words on culture to share with Multicultural communities. NITV Radio's Kerri-Lee Barry spoke with the women at Southbank, located on the banks of the picturesque Yarra River in Melbourne. Young blak deadly voices sharing their own personal reflections on Reconciliation and their own connections of family, culture and country.

If you're being honest, you know something has shifted in this culture. Most of us feel it even if we can't name it. The language has changed, the standards have changed, emotional performance has replaced principled conviction, and the men willing to hold a hard line are being told to sit down and apologize. Today's guest, Dale Partridge, doesn't apologize. And. He makes the case for why you shouldn't either. We cover the philosophical and cultural forces driving the effeminization of men and society, why a man without a defined worldview is a man who can be pushed around, the political and moral landscape men are being asked to navigate right now, and what it practically looks like to reclaim the kind of masculinity this culture is working overtime to erase. We don't pull punches on this one.

On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, host Brian Crombie is joined by Bill Fatsis (Vasilios Fatsis)—retired Justice of the Peace, former federal candidate, community leader, and author of Not Looking for Trouble—for a powerful conversation on immigration, identity, politics, and the meaning of multiculturalism in Canada. Bill shares his remarkable journey from being born during the Greek Civil War, losing his father at a young age, and being separated from his family, to arriving in Toronto in 1966 and building a life through education, public service, politics, and community leadership. His story reflects resilience, sacrifice, and starting over in a new country. The discussion also explores his activism against the Greek military junta in the 1960s and 1970s, including organizing demonstrations in Toronto, engaging in Canadian political life, and running in the historic 1982 Toronto-Danforth by-election. He also reflects on working within the Bill Davis government and how multiculturalism in Canada has evolved over time. The conversation further touches on the legacy of composer Mikis Theodorakis—known for Zorba the Greek and Serpico—and how music can become a form of memory, identity, and resistance. At its core, the episode asks a deeper question: what does multiculturalism truly mean in Canada today?

It's been decades since Canada implemented an official bilingualism policy nation wide-- but the history of our two official languages in Canada goes back much further. And following a recent Macleans article questioning the validity of official bilingualism, the question remains: what is the state of bilingualism in Canada? Host Catherine Jette speaks with Dr. Luisa Veronis, Research Chair in Immigration and Franco-Ontarian communities at the University of Ottawa, to look at the historical and modern implications of Canada's language policy.

Stefan Molyneux takes a close look at motherhood in today's world, especially with Mother's Day stirring up thoughts about the role. He talks about how perceptions of motherhood have shifted, the pressures women deal with, and the tension between genuine nurturing and what society demands. He critiques some of the traditional cultural norms that mothers pass along, and he considers the real difficulties of raising children in a multicultural setting. Above all, he makes the case for a more compassionate ethics grounded in universally preferable behavior, or UPB, and he hopes for a future where mothers and children can live together with genuine respect and harmony.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

A series of devastating inquiries have documented how networks of men—primarily of Muslim Pakistani heritage—groomed, trafficked, and gang-raped thousands of children, mostly white girls, in English towns such as Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford for decades.Independent reviews found that local authorities downplayed allegations and failed to crack down on these crimes in large part out of fear of being accused of racism or Islamophobia.At the same time, dozens of sharia councils have emerged across the United Kingdom that run an informal legal system handling divorces, inheritances, and family disputes within Muslim communities. But they often leave women with virtually no rights and protections, especially if the marriage was not officially recognized by UK civil law in the first place.British converts from Islam to Christianity, such as Nissar Hussain, describe years of targeted harassment, demonization, and even brutal physical assaults simply for choosing to change their faith, an act branded as “apostasy.”Many are now asking: Have we witnessed the failures of the multiculturalism experiment in the United Kingdom? To what extent should immigrants be expected to integrate and assimilate into the cultural and civic norms, such as equal protection under the law and gender equality? How should police and other authorities enforce the laws impartially when cultural and religious sensitivities are involved?These questions are all coming to a head in the United Kingdom—and the cultural clashes there serve as a cautionary tale for America, says Peter McIlvenna, co-founder of Hearts of Oak.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

There was a time when immigration was seen as not only important to Canada but something that was a major part of what made Canada great. Has that time passed, why and at what cost?

Kanishka Raffel is the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, leading the diocese since 2021. Born in England and of Sri Lankan descent, Raffel migrated to Australia as a child and initially raised as a Buddhist, he embraced Christianity during his university years. Before his current role, Raffel served as the Dean of St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney and held pastoral positions in Canberra, Goulburn, and Western Australia. His unique background and leadership in the Anglican Church are marked by a commitment to multiculturalism and community integration. Key Points: Multiculturalism and Faith: Raffel appreciates multiculturalism as both a cultural reality and a gospel opportunity, highlighting the biblical narrative from Babel to Pentecost. Christian Hospitality: The episode stresses the importance of Christians extending hospitality, modeled after God's hospitality, as a powerful means of advancing social cohesion and community relations. Navigating Fear: Exploring the role of fear in immigration debates, Raffel points to the online world’s potential to fuel radicalisation, emphasising the need for communities to remain non-reactive and welcoming. Biblical Framework for Immigration: Raffel uses Old Testament principles of welcoming the stranger to offer insights into current immigration policies. Leadership in Multicultural Contexts: Raffel calls for gentle, gospel-shaped leadership that acknowledges immigrants' vulnerabilities and models a Christ-like posture in public discourse. Notable Quotes: "At Pentecost, the Gospel is proclaimed in many languages. In Antioch, the walls that divide the ethnic quarters come down in the church of Jesus Christ." "The openness of the people of God to the stranger culminates in the person of Jesus Christ. His Lordship is a hospitable one, not a totalitarian one." "There’s tremendous opportunity for Christians who have experienced the hospitality of God in the gospel to offer hospitality." "It's very easy for native-born Australians to underestimate how disruptive, isolated, and confusing it is to be a migrant." "Peaceable and considerate leadership is needed in today's multicultural debate, as it provides a great opportunity to engage with gospel-shaped responses."

Downing's novel traces the layered inheritance of Black and Cherokee identity through the fictional life of a young girl, Ophelia Blue Rivers. The story is set in the historical town of Etsi, which confronts what the author calls America's “two original sins” — Black enslavement and Indigenous genocide — and invites readers to reflect on what happens when those histories meet in one body. For me, I was particularly drawn to how the novel processes historical and inter-generational wounds, and what literature means in this context for collective healing.Recommended Reading:Black CherokeeThis podcast is sponsored by Riverside, a professional conference platform for podcasting.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Kevin and Bill talk about the patterns of our cultural disintegration, and how they are reflected in the changes to the half-time show over the past 60 years. Events like these incrementally adjust worldviews by pushing the envelope of what people feel is acceptable to society. But how should we engage with those who think it was just a celebration of diversity? How do we avoid groupthink, and point out that the emperor has no clothes? Multiculturalism is meant for a pass on bad morality, but not for us.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes shared their thoughts on Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl.

What does it look like for Christians to pursue multicultural unity without flattening real differences—or turning ethnicity into an ultimate identity? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer is joined by recurring guest Ben Mathew (Professor of Counselor Education at Columbia International University) to discuss multiculturalism in the church through both a clinical lens and a biblical theology lens. Ben begins with his own story: growing up in Canada as part of an Indian immigrant family, encountering racial hostility, and watching his parents respond with persistent faith and love. That lived experience shaped his lifelong interest in identity, race, and how Christians should engage “the other.” From there, Ben and James explore how ethnicity relates to a person’s overall identity—especially for Christians who want a Christian-first posture without denying the embodied realities of culture and race. Ben describes two common errors: colorblindness (ignoring ethnicity as part of a person’s story) and “color essentialism” (making ethnicity the dominant identity). The challenge is not an either/or choice, but learning to live in the tension where unity in Christ is central while diversity remains real and meaningful. The conversation also turns to Scripture: Ephesians’ vision of Jew and Gentile becoming “one new man,” Acts as a casebook for early church multicultural tensions, and Revelation’s picture of worship around the throne from every tribe, tongue, and nation. They discuss why this unity isn’t a side issue—Paul frames it as part of the gospel’s public confrontation of powers and principalities. James and Ben also touch on contemporary frameworks such as Critical Race Theory, noting the difference between observations that may describe real dynamics and prescriptions that can become spiritually or socially destructive. Throughout, they return to a distinctly Christian claim: the church is called to embody a unity the world cannot produce, and that unity becomes a living witness to Christ’s authority. Finally, Ben offers a practical starting point: cultivate curiosity about other people’s stories. That posture of “cultural humility” can soften tribal instincts, expand empathy, and help churches pursue unity for the glory of God. Topics include: Ethnicity and Christian identity Colorblindness vs. “color essentialism” Biblical theology of multicultural worship (Acts, Ephesians, Revelation) Lament, anger, and healing in the face of racial evil Systemic sin and how Christians should think about systems CRT: insights, limits, and why the gospel must remain central Concrete first steps for churches toward multicultural faithfulness Subscribe to our YouTube channel

What does free speech have to do with economics? A lot more than you might think. In this episode, Gene Tunny is joined by John Humphreys to explore free speech as a core institutional pillar of prosperous societies. From Mao's Great Leap Forward to modern Australia, they show how restricting speech distorts incentives, breaks feedback loops, and leads to catastrophic policy failure. Even well-intentioned speech laws, they argue, can have dangerous unintended consequences.Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com. Key takeaways (What you'll learn)Why economists see free speech as a feedback mechanism, similar to prices in marketsHow restricting speech shifts incentives from truth-seeking to conformityWhy censorship often hides problems until they become crisesHow historical disasters, like China's Great Leap Forward, illustrate the cost of silenced feedbackWhy tolerating error is essential for democracy, learning, and social progressTimestampsFree Speech and Its Importance (0:00)The Role of Free Speech in Democracy (4:16)Historical Context and Legal Perspectives (9:00)Tolerance and the Enlightenment (11:03)The Impact of Free Speech Restrictions (16:02)The Politics of Free Speech Legislation (20:21)The Evolution of Anti-Speech Legislation (22:15)The Role of Multiculturalism and Social Cohesion (22:31)The Future of Free Speech Legislation (32:45)Links relevant to the conversationGene and John's recent Australian Taxpayers' Alliance livestreams on free speech:https://www.youtube.com/live/ZdQ2y96QakI?si=cCKdaqylXJ03FgFahttps://www.youtube.com/live/fvd3usSMT3o?si=oIr7UJrO9C53Fi4cChris Berg's Institutional Theory of Free Speech:https://chrisberg.org/2017/02/an-institutional-theory-of-free-speech/The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure:https://www.amazon.com.au/Coddling-American-Mind-Intentions-Generation/dp/0735224897Lumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED

Henry Ergas joins John to explore the erosion of historical understanding, the rise of ideological extremism, and the weakening of social cohesion across Western nations. Ergas argues that a balance of freedom and order are needed to sustain societies or else they will risk succumbing to the enemies of democracy, who possess a vitriolic hatred of the present, yet no unifying vision of the future. The discussion critiques the evolution of multicultural ideology and the rise of antisemitism in Australia, and assesses the slow decay of shared history, identity and hopes that once defined the nation. This conversation is a sober assessment of the challenges confronting liberal democracies and the values required to preserve them.Henry Ergas AO is an economist who spent many years at the OECD in Paris before returning to Australia. He has taught at many universities including Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and the National School of Statistics and Economic Administration in Paris. He is one of Australia's foremost public intellectuals.

Renowned British journalist and author Melanie Phillips joins Andrew Parker for a wide-ranging, fearless conversation about the West's crisis of truth, the rise of ideological coercion, and why Judeo-Christian foundations still matter in a secular age.They begin with Phillips' experience being “canceled before cancel culture,” her break with legacy media orthodoxy, and why the loss of confidence in objective truth has left institutions unable to distinguish reality from propaganda. From the David Irving vs. Deborah Lipstadt trial to today's revisionism on Israel and antisemitism, Phillips argues we are living through a full-scale battle over truth—now accelerated by technology and cultural intimidation.The conversation turns to October 7, 2023, the immediate global reaction, and what it reveals about modern moral inversion. Phillips explainseaks about the progressive alliance with the Palestinian Arab narrative, the psychology behind tearing down hostage posters, and why ideology becomes a sealed belief system where evidence no longer matters.Finally, Andrew and Melanie tackle multiculturalism, national identity, and whether Europe can still be saved. Phillips explains why multiculturalism is not simply tolerance, but a doctrine that can dissolve the shared foundations of a democratic society—and why the West may soon face the difficult paradox of taking “illiberal measures” to preserve a liberal order.Melanie Phillips is the author of The Builder's Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West—and Why Only They Can Save It.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

We explore what makes Vojvodina a unique region within Serbia and how it is shaped by a mix of ethnicities, languages, and traditions. We also discuss the city of Prizren, drawing parallels between these geographically distant parts of the Balkans and reflecting on the perspectives shaped by living in multicultural environments.

More slop but hey it's detailed. That's nice. 00:25 – Hanukkah, Bondi and a terror attackJoel (Jack the Insider) opens the Christmas‑eve episode by recounting the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that turned into a mass‑shooting, with 16 dead including Holocaust survivor Alex Kleitman and 10‑year‑old Matilda.​He notes that one gunman, Sajid Akram, was killed and his son Naveed faces 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism offence, while funerals proceed under a cloud of grief.​02:05 – Anti‑Semitic threats and the rise of Jew hatredThe Jacks detail an anti‑Semitic threat on a Virgin Australia flight from Denpasar to Sydney, where a 19‑year‑old allegedly made violent gestures and threats toward a Jewish passenger.​They discuss how contemporary anti‑Semitism in Australia and the West feels broader and deeper than before, increasingly visible on progressive and left‑wing fringes as well as the far right.​04:55 – Jenny Leong's “tentacles” remark and Greens politicsJoel quotes NSW Greens MLC Jenny Leong's 2023 comments about the “Jewish lobby” and “Zionist lobby” having “tentacles” infiltrating community groups, likening the rhetoric to classic Nazi tropes in Der Stürmer.​Jack notes Leong is part of NSW's hard‑left “watermelon” Greens and argues such language shows how anti‑Jewish narratives have crept into mainstream progressive politics in Australia, the UK and the US.​07:25 – Apologies, anti‑Zionism and the limits of definitionsThey note Leong apologised two months later for “poor choice of words” with anti‑Semitic implications, but Joel says the tentacle imagery hung “like a bad smell” over public debate.​The Jacks criticise semantic wrangling over definitions of anti‑Semitism and suggest calling much of it what it plainly is: old‑fashioned Jew hatred, often masked as anti‑Zionism.​10:25 – Who failed after 7 October? Government responses under fireJack argues federal and state leaders failed from “October 8th on” by not responding strongly enough to anti‑Jewish rhetoric and protests, suggesting Labor tried to balance Jewish concerns against Western Sydney Muslim votes.​Joel pushes back, citing Sean Carney's column outlining how Naveed Akram's jihadist associations, ASIO assessments and gun‑licence decisions date back to the Morrison/Dutton era and pre‑Albanese security failures.​13:55 – ASIO, gun licensing and unanswered questionsThe Jacks highlight ASIO's prior knowledge of Naveed's extremist links and question how Sajid Akram obtained a semi‑automatic shotgun with only an AB licence when B/C categories are needed for that weapon.​They call for frank explanations from ASIO and NSW firearms licensing about assessments, paper trails and whether bureaucratic or resourcing failures allowed Akram to amass an arsenal worth around $30,000.​17:55 – Under‑resourced counter‑terror units and a fearful Jewish communityJoel cites a retired AFP counter‑terror investigator who says counter‑terror units are stacked with officers fresh out of the academy instead of seasoned detectives.​Jack reflects on three decades of Jewish institutions in Sydney's east needing armed guards, and shares conversations with Jewish friends who now quietly contemplate leaving Australia because they no longer feel safe.​20:35 – “Don't bring your old hatreds here”The Jacks trace anti‑Jewish attacks in Sydney back to the 1982 Hakoah Club car bombing and the simultaneous attack on the Israeli consulate, arguing Jewish Australians have lived with this threat for over 40 years.​They say successive governments failed to hammer home a core Australian expectation: migrants must not import centuries‑old religious or ethnic hatreds into their new home.​23:05 – Segal anti‑Semitism strategy and hate‑speech lawsThey briefly canvass the Gillian Segal anti‑Semitism strategy; Jack dismisses it as “word salad” and window dressing, while Joel notes the government has been slow to act on its recommendations.​On hate‑speech laws, Jack argues bans on offensive political opinions tend to drive hatred underground and make it more dangerous, but both agree incitement to violence must remain a prosecutable offence, possibly with updated legislation.​26:00 – Policing protests and the limits of crowd controlThe Jacks explain why police sometimes tolerate ugly slogans at protests: wading in for arrests can inflame crowds that already vastly outnumber officers.​They stress the need to balance immediate public safety and officer safety with the longer‑term risk that demonstrators feel they can incite hatred with impunity.​29:00 – Bondi's stain and its heroesJoel laments that Bondi Beach, an iconic Australian destination, will now always be associated with a massacre, describing a moment of nausea as the death toll climbed on that Sunday night.​Jack reminisces about Bondi's 1990s mix of Kiwis, working‑class locals and a relaxed Jewish presence, and fears that openness has been permanently damaged.​32:05 – Old‑school cop and a Syrian‑Australian heroThey praise the middle‑aged, tie‑wearing NSW officer who initiated the “beginning of the end” of the attack and commend off‑duty police who rushed to Bondi and threw on uniforms.​Joel celebrates North Bondi tobacconist Al Ahmad, a Syrian‑born resident who tackled the gunman with astonishing courage, noting he now seems certain to receive Australian citizenship along with his parents.​35:10 – Patrol strength, long guns and local station realitiesThe Jacks relay reports that only three officers were on duty at Bondi police station, which Joel describes as a relatively minor station compared to Rose Bay or Maroubra.​They question why frontline police responding to long‑gun threats were not issued rifles of their own and suggest NSW should review access to long arms for first responders in high‑risk scenarios.​38:00 – Multiculturalism, old enmities and what really matters nextJack argues that, in an immigrant nation, the most important response is cultural: reinstilling the norm that old tribal feuds must be left behind, not accommodated.​Joel agrees this message should be central in citizenship education and public rhetoric, more important than technocratic hate‑speech tweaks or reactive gun‑law posturing.​42:05 – National Cabinet, ASIO and the demand for competenceThey criticise the National Cabinet's muted post‑Bondi meeting, which produced little beyond talk, and suggest the Prime Minister's cautious style leaves a leadership vacuum in national crises.​The Jacks insist Australians accept that security agencies cannot be omniscient, but say they must be properly resourced, competent and transparent when they make mistakes.​45:25 – Around the world: headscarves, condoms, climate and Reddit vs CanberraThe Jacks whip around global headlines: Austria's ban on headscarves for under‑14s, China's 13% tax on condoms and contraceptives to boost fertility, Denmark listing the US as a security risk, and the US government quietly deleting “fossil fuels” as a named cause of climate change from official websites.​They note Reddit's legal challenge to Australia's under‑16 social media ban and question whether Reddit is the ideal platform to front that fight given its often unpoliced content.​47:35 – Venezuela, the ICC and the limits of international lawVenezuela moves to withdraw from the International Criminal Court as investigations into alleged Maduro‑regime crimes against humanity advance.​Jack says the episode encapsulates international law's limits: states happily sign the Rome Statute until it becomes inconvenient, then walk away.​48:55 – Ireland rearms and Russia blocks “unfriendly” callsIreland announces a 55 per cent jump in defence spending to protect undersea data cables and deter drones, reflecting its geostrategic importance as a trans‑Atlantic communications hub.​Russia, meanwhile, moves to block incoming calls from “unfriendly” states; the Jacks mock the performative toughness and note how easily scammers will route around any such ban.​51:15 – Rob Reiner's murder and a towering film legacyThey react with shock to the murder of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife, allegedly by Reiner's troubled son, whose earlier violence was itself the subject of a film.​Jack runs through Reiner's extraordinary run—This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men—and argues that if you'd made only those, you'd still have had a remarkable career.​54:45 – “This one goes to 11” and Trump's gracelessnessThe Jacks recall how Spinal Tap helped invent the mockumentary form and embedded lines like “this one goes to 11” into pop‑culture vocabulary.​They condemn Donald Trump's statement calling Reiner “a terrible human being” after his death, with conservative actor James Woods publicly rebuking Trump and praising Reiner's personal kindness despite political differences.​57:40 – Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and comedy royaltyJoel outlines Rob Reiner's upbringing in a house full of comedic giants, with father Carl Reiner and close friend Mel Brooks holding weekly movie nights together well into old age, as captured in Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.​They reminisce about Carl and Mel's influence on Jewish humour and lament the passing of a generation of comic geniuses.​01:01:05 – EVs, hybrids and a Two Jacks lunch betThe Jacks revisit their running argument over electric vehicles, prompted by Ford CEO Jim Farley's plan to pivot the F‑150 towards hybrids instead of pure EVs.​Joel, a hybrid owner, sees hybrids as a transition technology in countries like Australia where fast‑charge infrastructure is patchy; he cites global EV sales rising to roughly 18–20 per cent of new car sales in 2025, with internal‑combustion shares steadily shrinking.​01:03:05 – Charging reality vs theory in AustraliaJoel recounts his in‑laws' BMW EV trip from central Victoria to Sydney using free or cheap NRMA/RACV chargers, but notes fast chargers are often the first to break or get switched off by retailers facing high electricity costs.​They swap anecdotes about BYD and Chinese Maxus taxis—fast‑improving but sometimes uncomfortable—and admit they can no longer remember the exact terms of their EV lunch wager, though Joel insists Jack owes him.​01:06:10 – Worst political year: Trump, Macron, Starmer, Albanese, Li, PutinThe Jacks playfully debate which leader had the worst year—Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Anthony Albanese, Chinese Premier Li or Vladimir Putin.​They characterise Albanese as the “Stephen Bradbury” of Australian politics, a cautious survivor whose luck and endurance have mattered as much as brilliance.​01:18:40 – Ashes update: England's fragile top orderIn a late segment, they revisit England's Ashes woes: repeated collapses leaving them three‑for‑not‑many and a top three of Crawley, Duckett and Pope exposing the middle order to the new ball.​Joel notes England dropped a bowler as a scapegoat while leaving the misfiring batting unchanged, and questions how long they can justify Ollie Pope at three ahead of the more solid Will Jacks.​01:21:15 – Hong Kong racing, Kooring Rising and Japanese fanboy jockeysJack describes Hong Kong's International Racing Day—four Group 1s and 80,000 people—and the rise of sprinter Kooring Rising, winner of The Everest and now on a long winning streak.​He shares footage from Japan's Nakayama track where every jockey stopped circling and sat still so they could watch Kooring Rising's race on the big screen, a measure of the horse's star power.​01:23:00 – Listener mail, Howard's gun laws and the Shooters lobbyJoel reads a note from listener Ray pointing out that 300 legally obtained guns are still attributed to “Howard's gun laws”, reminding listeners gun‑law reform was necessary but later watered down under pressure from the Shooters and Fishers political lobby.​01:24:00 – Christmas, loneliness and a surprise lunch guestThe Jacks close with Christmas reflections: acknowledging how joyful and stressful the season can be, especially for those who are lonely or estranged from family.​Joel recalls his mother inviting a homeless man to Christmas lunch—an act of charity met with teenage grumbling from him and his brother—and urges listeners to look out for those doing it tough without necessarily going to that extreme.​01:25:45 – Holiday plans and the show's return in JanuaryJack outlines Hanukkah parties and family Christmas plans in Hong Kong, while Joel describes a quieter Highlands Christmas with a Boxing Day visit from the grandkids.​They thank listeners for their support through 2025, wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and promise to return in the second week of January after a short break.​00:25 – Hanukkah, Bondi and a terror attackJoel (Jack the Insider) opens the Christmas‑eve episode by recounting the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that turned into a mass‑shooting, with 16 dead including Holocaust survivor Alex Kleitman and 10‑year‑old Matilda.​He notes that one gunman, Sajid Akram, was killed and his son Naveed faces 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism offence, while funerals proceed under a cloud of grief.​02:05 – Anti‑Semitic threats and the rise of Jew hatredThe Jacks detail an anti‑Semitic threat on a Virgin Australia flight from Denpasar to Sydney, where a 19‑year‑old allegedly made violent gestures and threats toward a Jewish passenger.​They discuss how contemporary anti‑Semitism in Australia and the West feels broader and deeper than before, increasingly visible on progressive and left‑wing fringes as well as the far right.​04:55 – Jenny Leong's “tentacles” remark and Greens politicsJoel quotes NSW Greens MLC Jenny Leong's 2023 comments about the “Jewish lobby” and “Zionist lobby” having “tentacles” infiltrating community groups, likening the rhetoric to classic Nazi tropes in Der Stürmer.​Jack notes Leong is part of NSW's hard‑left “watermelon” Greens and argues such language shows how anti‑Jewish narratives have crept into mainstream progressive politics in Australia, the UK and the US.​07:25 – Apologies, anti‑Zionism and the limits of definitionsThey note Leong apologised two months later for “poor choice of words” with anti‑Semitic implications, but Joel says the tentacle imagery hung “like a bad smell” over public debate.​The Jacks criticise semantic wrangling over definitions of anti‑Semitism and suggest calling much of it what it plainly is: old‑fashioned Jew hatred, often masked as anti‑Zionism.​10:25 – Who failed after 7 October?

Send us a textThe Honourable Leela Sharon Aheer shares the story that shaped her life and leadership.Growing up in Alberta as the daughter of an Indian immigrant father and a Canadian mother, Leela learned early what it meant to stand out, speak up, and build community. At just 15 years old, she was directly confronted by white supremacist hate. Instead of shrinking, that moment became the catalyst for using her voice and stepping into leadership.In this episode, Leela walks through her unconventional path from music and teaching into politics, winning her first election by just 260 votes and later serving as Alberta's Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism, and Status of Women. She shares grounded lessons on women's leadership, servant leadership, and why real change is built through small, consistent actions rather than power or position.This conversation is a reminder that you do not need permission to lead. You just need to activate yourself.Episode Notes In this episode, we cover:• Leela's early life and how identity and community shaped her leadership • Being targeted by hate at 15 and choosing to speak up instead of stay silent • Why she left political science for music and later returned to politics • Winning her first election by 260 votes and navigating imposter syndrome • Why women's rights must be protected in legislation • How to build bridges with people you strongly disagree with • Why momentum matters more than burnout • Her vision for global collaboration, trade, and women's leadership • The simple lesson she believes every woman needs to hearGuest Information The Honourable Leela Sharon Aheer, ECAEmail: eventswithleela@outlook.com Twitter: @LeelaAheer Instagram: leelasharonaheer LinkedIn: Hon.

GLOBALISM STARTED WITH THE TOWER IF BABELWe often think of Globalism as a modern concept-but nothing could be further than the truth. Today, I am going to show you that what we consider modern day globalism is an attempt by sinful man to consolidate and centralize power against God's will. Let's get started.According to Webster dictionary “GLOBALISM is a national policy of treating the whole world as a proper sphere for (a single) political influence compare. WEBSTER than add's two additional SUB-HEADINGS which include: 1) IMPERIALISM-which is governmental power over an entire country and often over smaller-weaker countries through influence but more often through military power. and 2) INTERNATIONALISM which Webster Dictionary gives an example as follows: “The era was marked by the expansion of liberal internationalism, economic globalization and U.S.-led-and CONSTRUCTED multilateralism.Plase SUBSCRIBE to our Channel!!!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

Dear friends,The Australian government glories in the development of multiculturalism. However, Australian society is now straining to maintain social harmony. Consequently, the government is trying to regulate freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom of religion. For while migration can enrich a country, the concept of a nation celebrating and encouraging many cultures is a recipe for failure. In the Bible, the creation of multiculturalism was God's judgement at the Tower of Babel. In this episode of Two Ways News, we turn back to that great event recorded in Genesis 11.Yours,Phillip

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Allison Pearson, journalist and columnist at The Telegraph, for a revealing conversation about the collapse of Britain's asylum system, media bias, and the cultural denial gripping the political class.Allison exposes how caseworkers are being forced to grant asylum to known sex offenders and violent men, including those on the sex offenders register, due to loopholes in Britain's asylum laws. Drawing on her bombshell reporting, she explains how hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants have vanished into the system, how Home Office staff are incentivised to approve asylum claims without vetting, and how police and terror checks were suspended to meet political targets.We discuss the BBC's censorship and bias, the moral blindness of Britain's ruling elites, and what Allison calls the nation's “suicidal empathy” — a refusal to protect its own people out of fear of being called racist.

In 2013 Nick Cater published a book called “The Lucky Culture”. In the intervening years a whole lot has changed, so he is writing a follow-up. And the essay, “Multiculturalism's Berlin Wall Moment” (Quadrant magazine October edition) is associated with it. The essay covers the assault on western culture, beginning with Pierre Trudeau's inability to understand the mistake he was making. And so it spread.

#Multiculturalism #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #MuslimCommunity #Islamophobia #Antisemitism #ParallelLives #GroomingGangs Multiculturalism was supposed to bring us together — but rising antisemitism, ongoing grooming gang scandals, and political timidity over Islamophobia suggest the opposite. Are we now living parallel lives, as Robert Jenrick says? And if so, is it time to admit that multiculturalism has failed — or can we still make it work? I'm Jon Gaunt, and tonight we're tackling the most explosive question in British public life: why are parts of the Muslim community still struggling to integrate — and what does that mean for the future of multicultural Britain? The stakes couldn't be higher. A Jewish man has been murdered in Manchester, Jewish football fans are being told to stay away from matches for their safety, and pro-Palestine marches are raising serious concerns about rising antisemitism. Meanwhile, the government has backed down on defining Islamophobia and continues to delay a full inquiry into Muslim grooming gangs. Are we now living “parallel lives,” as Robert Jenrick warned? Has multiculturalism failed — and if so, why? Is it political cowardice, failed policies, or deeper cultural divisions? And how do we fix it before Britain's social fabric is torn apart? Join me for a fearless, honest, and uncensored debate that the mainstream media won't touch. No spin. No censorship. Just the truth. #Multiculturalism #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Integration #MuslimCommunity #Islamophobia #Antisemitism #BritishValues #ParallelLives #GroomingGangs #Debate #Livestream #PoliticsLive #CurrentAffairs #News multiculturalism, UK politics, Jon Gaunt, Keir Starmer, integration, Muslim community, Islamophobia, antisemitism, British values, parallel lives, grooming gangs, debate, livestream, politics live, current affairs, news

The meaning and socio-political implementation of the term “multiculturalism” has become a flashpoint throughout the West. Supporters of multiculturalism argue that societies that embrace diverse norms and values are not only more dynamic and vibrant, they are also more just and represent the ideal form of the modern democratic state. On the other hand, critics of multiculturalism argue that permitting or deliberately engineering a society that embraces different and even contradictory norms and values is not only incoherent, it undermines the very foundation of a stable civic order. What can Catholicism contribute to this often rancorous debate? Amidst all the diversity within the Church, it remains theologically, morally, and institutionally unified. What makes this possible, and what lessons does it have for the wider world?
