May 16, 2025 ~ US wholesale prices unexpectedly dropped in April, marking the first decrease in over a year, which is a positive sign but may not indicate a long-term trend. Dr. Tim Nash, director of the McNair Center at Northwood University, talk with Lloyd, Jamie, and Chris about the Federal Reserve's GDP projection, falling energy prices, and much more.

In this powerful and timely talk, Yaron Brook explores the true meaning and enduring value of Western civilization—tracing its roots from the Renaissance and Enlightenment to the principles that gave rise to science, individual liberty, and unprecedented human progress. Challenging the myths of multicultural relativism and confronting both external threats and internal self-doubt, the speech makes a passionate case for why Western civilization must be understood, celebrated, and defended. This is a compelling defense of the ideas that have shaped the modern world—and a call to stand up for the culture of reason, freedom, and human dignity.This talk was delivered on April 29, 2025 at Northwood University.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/joinLike what you hear?

I am thrilled to bring you this fascinating chat with Professor Gad Sa'ad, an iconic intellectual figure who helps us to make sense of this seemingly mad moment in history. Sharp, brilliant, fearless—and also very funny—Prof. Sa'ad likens the thought and mind controls pervading western societies to bacteria—or pathogens—that cause disease. It's also the focus of his international best-seller—The Parasitic Mind. We get into antisemitism, why Israel is somewhat inoculated against woke-ness, the moral corruption of western societies, and his week at Mar-a-Lago in the red velvet jacket. (It's a State of Tel Aviv scoop…and a great story.) And much more. Sa'ad first came onto my radar in 2016 with his bullseye critiques of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While the world swooned, believing him to be impossibly handsome and progressive, Sa'ad saw through the phony platitudes and intellectual deficit. It took Canadians and the world a little longer to see not only the void that was and is Trudeau but how dangerous he is. Canada, sadly, has become the focus of so much negative global attention. The economy is in ruins. Society is cleaved by violence and identity-based divisions. And antisemitism on the streets of Montreal and Toronto is perhaps the most extreme of any city in the world. We dig into it all—and have a few good laughs. Podcast NotesVideo VersionProfessor Sa'ad is on leave from Concordia University this year and is Visiting Professor and Global Ambassador for the 2024-25 academic year at Northwood University in Michigan. Born in Beirut, he has lived most of his life since fleeing Lebanon in 1975 in Montreal, Canada.

Gad Saad was born in Beirut in 1964 into one of the last Jewish families to remain in Lebanon. But the country that was once called “the Paris of the Middle East” began to turn. Saad remembers one day at school when a fellow student told his class that he wanted to be a “Jew-killer” when he grew up. The rest of the kids laughed. By 1975, Lebanon descended into a brutal civil war and Saad said death awaited him at every millisecond of the day. Even through the danger and turmoil, his family thought, This will pass over. We will be fine. Until someone showed up to their home in Lebanon to kill them, at which point his family fled the country and rebuilt their life in Canada. In 2024, many of us in Western democracies find ourselves saying the exact same things: This will pass over. We will be fine. Even as Hamas flags and “I love Hezbollah” posters wave in cosmopolitan capitals across the West. How worried should we be? And, is there a way to roll back admiration for anti-civilizational groups? Those are just some of the questions we were eager to put to Saad in today's conversation. Saad said that witnessing the Lebanese Civil War gave him a crash course in the extremes of identity politics, tribalism, and illiberalism. He argues that immigrants like himself, who have lived without the virtues of the West—freedom of speech and thought, reason, and true liberalism—uniquely understand what's at stake right now in Western cultural and political life. It's no coincidence, Saad said, that the most prominent defenders of Western ideals are immigrants, people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Salman Rushdie, and Masih Alinejad. Saad is a professor of marketing and evolutionary behavioral sciences, and if you're on X, we suspect you know his name. Unlike most professors, he has a million followers, and a knack for satire—so much so that Elon Musk seems to be one of his biggest fans.  Outside of his X personality, he's been teaching at Concordia University in Montreal for the past 30 years. But he's now having second thoughts. Concordia is today widely regarded as the most antisemitic university in North America. Saad is now a visiting professor and global ambassador at Northwood University in Michigan. He said he can't bear the possibility of returning to Concordia given the antisemitism on campus. All of this, he argued, constitutes another war: a campaign against logic, science, common sense, and reality here in the West, which he explains in his book: The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.  Today, Bari Weiss asks one of the most insightful and provocative thinkers about the risks of mob rule and extremism on the left, where these “parasitic ideas” came from and why they're encouraged in the West, if progressive illiberalism is waxing or waning, and if these trends are reversible.

#StateThinking: Praising the confident education in Northwood University in Midland, Michigan. @MaryKissel Former Senior Adviser to the Secretary of State. Executive VP Stephens Inc. https://www.northwood.edu 1945 MIDLAND MICHIGAN

GOOD EVENING: The show begins at the Federal Reserve, searching for the fate of the three promised interest rate cuts in 2024 -- none of which are currently in sight. We then delve into memories of Perry Mason while reading about the Trump trial. Next, we move to Tehran, Isfahan, and Gaza, discussing the imminent Rafah Operation. We then visit Midland, Michigan, and the pristine and busy Northwood University, known for its programs in marketing and management. Shifting focus to Berlin, we discover the potent new nationalist party, Alternative für Deutschland. We then explore Turkey's offer of sanctuary to Hamas and the situation in Ethiopia, where the country is collapsing around the isolated Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Moving on to Nigeria, we find the nation failing once again. We then cover Queen Camilla's visit to the Royal Lancers. Finally, we travel to Pakistan and Iran before concluding at the English Channel, where small, overfilled rafts carrying refugees drift toward England in the swells. 1934 TURKIYE MILITARY AIRCRAFT
