On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Dr. Eric Patterson, President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, for a powerful conversation on China’s growing influence, the hidden dangers behind viral consumer trends, and the alarming rise of “pop Marxism” among young Americans. From shocking allegations tied to slave labor in popular Chinese-made products to the broader battle over freedom, faith, and capitalism, Tudor and Dr. Patterson break down how communist ideology is reshaping culture, education, and politics across the West. They also dive into President Trump’s role on the world stage amid rising tensions with China, Iran, and Russia, the weakening resolve of Western leaders, and why understanding the true history of communism has never been more important. Plus, Tudor explores how social media, education systems, and consumer culture are influencing the next generation — and what parents can do to push back.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Jessica Rose & Dr. VN Alexander join The Ripple Effect Podcast for a deep, thought-provoking conversation that challenges mainstream assumptions about science, intelligence & reality itself.

Meet Dr. Stewart Desson, CEO of Lumina Learning, a leader who sees leadership in layers: strategy and vision plus the ability to inspire purpose and meaning. Dr. Desson believes leaders must celebrate humanity so people can connect to a cause and give unrestricted energy to make an impact. His leadership approach blends self-awareness with purpose and authenticity — claiming who you are so others feel invited to do the same. Grounded in science and curiosity, he dispels myths, welcomes challenge, and changes beliefs when evidence demands it. Dr. Desson uses coaching, retreats, and collaborative research to foster self-development and growth. His favorite guiding principle: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor E. Frankl
