This week on “Jesuitical”, Ashley McKinless and Zac Davis talk to Dianne Bergant, C.S.A.,  who taught Scripture at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago for 44 years. She also served as America's Word columnist from 2002 to 2005. During her time at CTU, Sr. Dianne had one very famous student, Robert Prevost—the future Pope Leo XIV. With Sr. Dianne, Zac and Ashley discuss what it's like to be the teacher of a future pope and how approaches to teaching Scripture have evolved over time. During Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac unpack Pope Leo's trip to Spain and a new Sagrada Familia Lego Set, and they talk sports with Catholic perspectives on the World Cup and NBA Finals—featuring some words from O'Hare Fellow Ed Desciak.  In “As One Friend Speaks to Another,” Ashley shares an exciting announcement.

Why do oligarchs thrive in democracies? Jeffrey Winters, Vladimíra Dvořáková and Ondřej Lánský on the politics of protecting wealth

More people than ever can vote, organise, and make their voices heard. Yet wealth is becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of a tiny minority. How can democracy and extreme inequality coexist? American political scientist Jeffrey A. Winters argues that oligarchs are not primarily interested in governing. Their main objective is to protect and preserve their wealth — and this defence of wealth increasingly shapes the limits of democratic politics. Together with political scientist Vladimíra Dvořáková and political scientist and philosopher Ondřej Lánský, Winters discusses how economic power is converted into political influence, why oligarchs are becoming more visible, and what this means for democratic institutions, public media, taxation and the future of political equality. The discussion was recorded at last year's Inspiration Forum at the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival and is moderated by Klára Votavová. The voices of Ondřej Lánský, Vladimíra Dvořáková, and Klára Votavová are AI-generated.

Volíme, diskutujeme, hádáme se o hodnoty, identitu, kulturu nebo práva. Ale ve chvíli, kdy jde o samotné rozdělení bohatství, zůstává vliv většiny lidí téměř nulový.  Americký politolog Jeffrey A. Winters tomu říká éra participativní nerovnosti, v níž má hlas skoro každý, ale vliv na nerovnost skoro nikdo. Winters popisuje svět, v němž vedle sebe dokážou existovat otevřená politická soutěž, svobodné volby a extrémní majetková nerovnost. Co když je největším problémem dnešní demokracie to, že funguje právě tak, jak potřebují držitelé skutečné ekonomické moci?  Oligarchie nemusí demokracii rušit, aby ji ovládala. Stačí, když dokáže chránit majetek před daněmi, regulací a přerozdělením. Winters vysvětluje, proč nestačí sledovat příjmy, ale musíme se dívat na majetek. Dnešní koncentrace bohatství v rukou superbohatých v Česku je větší než ve starověkém Římě. Nejde tu o závist vůči bohatým, ale o otázku, co se stane s demokracií, když si nejbohatší mohou koupit média, politický vliv i samotná pravidla hry? Podcastem provází publicista Petr Bittner. Hlas Jeffrey A. Wintersovi v českém znění propůjčil Petr Pěknic.

A teenager hurtles from the balcony of a luxury apartment complex into the Thames. That unexplained death animates the newest book from one of America's great nonfiction writers, Patrick Radden Keefe. Patrick joins Harry to unspool the story's web of shady characters, complacent police, and desperate parents. The two delve into the transformation of London into a playground for the extremely and unscrupulously wealthy—like Russian oligarchs—that made the fatal fall possible and draw out the way Trump is overseeing a similar shift in the United States. And Harry digs into Patrick's approach to writing, including how his law degree informs his precise, almost prosecutorial reporting.

The Asset team is releasing a 6-part audio drama Patriarchs. As the United States approaches 250 years of independence, the nation is asking hard questions about how it began, who paid the price, and what kind of republic it has become. Patriarchs, a loaded but apt term in today's vernacular, is a six-episode historical podcast drama that answers those questions by chronicling the most consequential relationship in early America: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, told in their own words. Subscribe hereWe begin with two former presidents looking back over a life together as friends, rivals, and uneasy family. From there, listeners travel back to the moment these strangers first step outside the Continental Congress to talk, two lawyers, two farmers, two men who have no idea they are about to remake the world. Every scene, every argument, every confession in Patriarchs is drawn from real letters, speeches, and memoirs, voiced by an ensemble of award-‑winning actors—with Stacy Keach starring as Thomas Jefferson. The result is an intimate drama of brilliant founders who are also flawed fathers, husbands, slaveholders, and partisans. ​We hear their partnership forged in crisis, as they push Congress toward independence and wrestle the language of the Declaration onto the page.​ Alongside them is Abigail Adams, one of the sharpest political minds of the age, whose letters slice cleanly through ego and ideology. Patriarchs also confronts the reality of slavery and sexual exploitation in the founding generation, centering Sally Hemings not as rumor but as a speaking, thinking presence whose choices and constraints shape Jefferson's life. Patriarchs is a chance to hear the founding generation as they really sounded: insecure, vain, idealistic, petty, courageous, haunted—often in the same breath in a rare combination of rigorous primary-source history and bingeable character drama, led by Stacy Keach and a veteran cast capable of carrying both prestige storytelling and wide audience appeal.

There is another critical layer in understanding the Massie loss in the Kentucky election. There is a generational exit in American politics that is happening right now. Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and even some of the Boomers. These voters are not leaving to another party, they are just exiting the political arena. This is further amplified by the American Christian pulpit that has become increasingly controlled by Israel.

On this, our 326th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss government and tyranny, environmental toxins and the media, eminent domain, and memories of childhood. Former Washington state governor Christine Gregoire says the state doesn't have an income problem, it's got a spending problem—and that unpredictability from legislators is making it impossible for the business community to plan. Stochasticity is impossible to adapt to—for humans, and for other species too. In the most expensive Congressional primary race in U.S. history, incumbent Thomas Massie lost in Kentucky; his opponent was substantively funded by AIPAC. Young people supported Massie; old people did not. The Department of Fish & Wildlife has declared the widely used herbicide atrazine no big deal—but it very much is, beginning with the well-established fact that it turns the frogs…not gay, but aggressive and dysfunctionally hermaphroditic. In Georgia, eminent domain is being invoked to “liberate” people from their houses. And we end with memories of idyllic childhoods in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.*****Our sponsors:MUDWTR: Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% off your @MUDWTR with code DARKHORSE at http://mudwtr.com/darkhorse! #mudwtrpodSaunaSpace: deep radiant heat from red and infrared incandescence—detox and decrease pain, reverse screen fatigue and improve your mood. http://Sauna.Space/DarkHorse for 10% off sitewide.Helix: Excellent, sleep-enhancing, American-made mattresses.

Retired Green Beret Matt Murphy explores how Charlie Kirk's rejection of Zionism, the Israel-Iran war, and rising religious tensions may be accelerating the push toward Greater Israel and a New World Order in episode 246 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Matt Murphy is a former Green Beret and special operations veteran, Christian anti-trafficking advocate, and former CIA detailee who spent nearly two decades operating across the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. After his sister was trafficked in 2019, Murphy helped build anti-trafficking operations through organizations like Operation Light Shine, which partnered with the Tim Tebow Foundation. He later began speaking publicly about propaganda, censorship, and the global power structures he believes are driving modern conflict.In this conversation, Faust and Murphy explore how the Israel-Iran war, biblical prophecy, and rising tensions between Christianity and Zionism may be converging into a much larger spiritual and geopolitical conflict. As the discussion moves through Charlie Kirk's ideological shift, deep state influence, censorship, and modern psychological operations, Murphy questions whether mainstream media narratives and political movements are steering the public toward an engineered End Times scenario tied to Greater Israel and the New World Order. The conversation also explores the Talmud, spiritual warfare, angels and demons, the Federal Reserve, the petrodollar, and the idea that modern society may be operating inside a carefully constructed system designed to shape how people interpret history, religion, and reality itself.In this episode:• Charlie Kirk & Zionism: What changed after one of conservatism's biggest voices began publicly questioning Israel and its influence?• Greater Israel & The End Times: Why do some people believe today's Middle East conflicts are tied to biblical prophecy?• Christianity vs. Zionism: Are modern Christians being pulled toward a belief system they do not fully understand?• The Talmud: The controversial religious text Murphy says most people are discouraged from examining for themselves• Angels, Demons & Spiritual Warfare: What if the forces shaping human history are not entirely human?• Psychological Operations: How modern propaganda blurs the line between independent thought and engineered perception• The Federal Reserve & Petrodollar: How did endless war, inflation, and debt become normalized in modern society?• Deep State & Algorithmic Suppression: Are online narratives being shaped more aggressively than most people realize?• Robert Maxwell & Media Power: The deeper connections between intelligence networks, propaganda, and the version of history most people grow up believing• Anti-Trafficking & Awakening: How a personal tragedy pushed Murphy into a completely different understanding of the worldThe deeper the conversation goes, the harder it becomes to tell where geopolitics ends and spiritual warfare begins.Connect with Matt Murphyhttps://www.instagram.com/matt_murphy_official/https://x.com/matt_murphy_23Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™we'd love to hear from you

When Patrick Radden Keefe was living in London while shooting the TV adaptation of his book “Say Nothing,” he heard about a teen-ager who fell from a luxurious apartment tower in mysterious circumstances. As he looked into it, he learned that the boy, Zac Brettler, had assumed an alternate identity as the son of a Russian oligarch, and had connected with dangerous people—just as mysterious. His story in The New Yorker, “A Teen's Fatal Plunge into the London Underworld,” became the basis of his new book “London Falling.” “It's not crime, per se, that interests me,” Radden Keefe tells David Remnick, “but the intermingling of the licit and illicit worlds, and the ways in which people deviate from a kind of conventional morality by degrees—and then the stories that they tell themselves about doing that.” He shares recordings from Brettler's parents of conversations that they had as they sought to uncover what had happened to their son.   Further reading:  “London Falling,” by Patrick Radden Keefe “A Teen's Fatal Plunge Into the London Underworld,” by Patrick Radden Keefe     New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

Most, if not all international flights to and from Iceland were cancelled on Friday, bunch of road closures due to blizzards and in some cases avalanches, such as in on the main road near the town of Sigufjörður in North Iceland. Power also went down in the Westfjords.Reynisfjara Black Beach Back In The NewsWesterly winds, that had already swept the sands of Reynisfjara beach westwards, leading to stories about the beach having disappeared or having closed, kicked in again last week, hitting the parking lot by the beach hard. Landowners are still betting on the usually prevailing easterly winds to return, with high hopes that this will mean the return to sand around the famous cave and basalt columns, so loved by tourists. Russian Oligarch In Super Yacht Barred From Docking In IcelandThe yacht, named La Datcha is owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Tinkov.

The workers had been wielding in a silo of a factory that manufactures animal fodder. The sparks from the wielding set fire to the dust in the silo, leading to an explosion.Interests Rates Go UpInterest rates were raised by the Icelandic Central Bank last Thursday from 7,25% to 7,5%.

As media empires, from The Washington Post to CBS News, continue to be dealt significant blows, uncertainties abound about the remaining strength of a once robust American press landscape—but media scholars have long questioned how strong our system was to begin with. For this week's podcast extra, Micah sits down with Victor Pickard, professor of media policy and political economy at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss why what we're seeing now is simply the latest stage of a phenomena called, "media capture," and what we can do to free ourselves from the downward slide.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
