Podcasts about Pol Pot

In today's episode, we're pulling back the veil on a doctrine that may sound loving, but leads to destruction: universalism. We will define and trace the origins of universalism, expose its ancient heretical roots, and contrast it with the early church's faithful witness. It is hard to believe that this critically damaging heresy (false teaching) gets any traction today, especially with recent historical figures Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and Mussolini, but it is rearing its deadly head, and we need to talk about it.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its “wokeness.”  In Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left ( MIT Press, 2025), Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

Die kommunistischen Roten Khmer unter Pol Pot löschten zwischen 1975 und 1979 fast ein Viertel der kambodschanischen Bevölkerung aus. Ihr Ziel war ein besitzloser Agrarstaat. Bis heute leidet das Land unter dem Trauma, Aufarbeitung findet kaum statt. Jennifer Johnston, Katrin Materna www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Weltzeit

Pol Pot war der „Bruder Nr. 1“ der Roten Khmer in Kambodscha. Zwischen 1975 und 1979 kamen unter seinem Regime 1,7 Millionen Menschen durch Zwangsarbeit, Hunger, Folter und Mord ums Leben. Vor 100 Jahren wurde er geboren Langels, Otto www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Il y a cinquante ans, entre 1975 et 1979, le Cambodge sombrait dans l'un des épisodes les plus tragiques du XXe siècle : le génocide perpétré par les combattants communistes cambodgiens, les Khmers rouges, sous la direction de Pol Pot, soutenus par leurs alliés vietnamiens, et pas seulement eux. En moins de quatre ans que dura cette révolution maoïste devenue totalitaire, génocidaire et ultranationaliste, près de deux millions de personnes – un quart de la population – ont péri, victimes d'exécutions, de famine, de travaux forcés ou de purges idéologiques. Le 17 avril, c'est la date choisie par le président chinois Xi pour fouler le sol cambodgien dans le cadre de sa toute récente tournée en Asie du Sud-Est. Le 17 avril marquant le jour anniversaire de l'entrée des Khmers rouges dans Phnom Penh et le début de leur campagne agraire de terreur appuyée par le Parti communiste chinois.L'étape cambodgienne du président chinois a été l'occasion de la signature de 37 accords, couvrant des domaines tels que les infrastructures, la santé et la finance. La coopération militaire a par ailleurs été renforcée, notamment avec l'expansion des infrastructures de la base navale de Ream, suscitant des interrogations quant à une éventuelle utilisation militaire chinoise. Plus grand partenaire commercial du Cambodge, la Chine est le premier investisseur étranger dans le pays et détient plus du tiers de la dette extérieure cambodgienne, soit 11 milliards de dollars. Phnom Penh compte aussi parmi les soutiens les plus fiables de Pékin en Asie.Pays très dépendant de l'aide étrangère, le Cambodge a vécu comme un très rude choc la fermeture par Donald Trump des programmes de l'USAID sans compter l'impact des barrières douanières. Les États-Unis étant le plus grand marché pour les exportations cambodgiennes. Regard sur les défis de ce petit État de 17 millions d'habitants pris en tenaille entre ses deux grands voisins vietnamien et thaïlandais, surplombé par le géant chinois.Invités : Marie-Sybille de Vienne, professeure émérite à l'Inalco, membre de l'Académie des sciences d'Outre-Mer, directrice de la revue Péninsule.  Anne-Yvonne Guillou, anthropologue, directrice de recherche au CNRS, en poste au Laboratoire d'ethnologie et de sociologie comparative à l'Université Paris Nanterre.

Howard Goldenthal hostingIn the countryside across Cambodia, mass graves known as the killing fields, haunt the landscape. They are reminders of the reign of Pol Pot, one of the 20th century's most violent political leaders. He was the leader of the Khmer Rouge. When they seized power they undertook a radical experiment to create a pure Communist utopia.The plan was called "Year Zero."Pol Pot's communist utopia led to the murder of approximately two million Cambodians. Cities were emptied and citizens were forced into rural labour camps. Only the lucky survived. In Howard Goldenthal's documentary, Year Zero Plus 50, he follows the stories of survivors of that era. For them, the quest for justice remains. Produced by Howard Goldenthal and Joan Webber, originally aired on Sunday Magazine.Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

Pol Pot and his friends are now in charge of Cambodia and in a remarkably short period of time they manage to kill two million people. Including a leftist academic from the UK who thought the Khmer Rouge was rad. Here's how!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert continues the story with young Pol Pot's years in France where he and his friends radicalize themselves in what has to have been the deadliest book club of all time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert sits down with Andrew Ti for three episodes in one week about the bizarre life of Pol Pot, a man who spent too much time reading books and bullshitting with his friends and for convinced he could save his country by destroying it.

Lunedì 21 aprile, giorno della morte di papa Francesco, sono stati assegnati i Goldman environmental prize, informalmente noti come “Nobel per l'Ambiente”. Tra i vincitori ci sono anche due attivisti albanesi che hanno tutelato il Vjosa, l'ultimo fiume libero d'Europa. Oltre 400mila persone a Roma per il funerale del Papa, ma il conclave per scegliere il prossimo non comincerà prima del 5 maggio. Infine, un colossale sondaggio mostra come l'89% della popolazione mondiale chieda azione più incisiva per il clima – nonostante continui a pensarsi come minoritaria.Lucia Bellinello, esperta di geopolitica, ci ricorda del cinquantesimo del genocidio perpretato in Cambogia dai Khmer rossi di Pol Pot, che sterminò quasi un quarto della popolazione del paese. Una nuova legge rischia però di reprimere di nuovo le opposizioni. Puoi scriverci a podcast@lifegate.it e trovare tutte le notizie su www.lifegate.it.  Rassegna stampa: La battaglia per il fiume Vjosa in Albania vince il Goldman Environmental Prize 2025, Luigi Mastrodonato Questo mondo dopo Francesco, Tommaso Perrone 

De 1975 à 1979, les Khmers rouges ont exterminé deux millions de femmes, d'hommes et d'enfants. Mais 50 ans après, qui s'en souvient ? Prétextant un futur bombardement américain, les Khmers rouges ordonnent d'évacuer Phnom Penh lorsqu'ils entrent dans la capitale du Cambodge le 17 Avril 1975. En réalité, la ville est vidée, et sa population déportée vers les campagnes devenues camps de travail et de rééducation. C'est le début du génocide cambodgien dans le nouveau Kampuchéa Démocratique où les mots de la langue khmère sont revus et corrigés. Kamtech ne signifie plus seulement tuer, mais détruire ou réduire en poussière sans laisser de trace.Alors comment faire pour se souvenir du passé et apaiser les morts ? Avec le témoignage du cinéaste Rithy Panh dont les films sont projetés dans le cycle « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » au Forum des images à Paris.« Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » : la bande annonce.Et la participation de :- Soko Phay, professeure en Histoire et théorie de l'art à l'Université Paris 8, dont le livre, Cambodge, l'art devant l'extrême est à paraître aux éditions Naïma.Au Cambodge, environ deux millions de personnes – soit près du quart de la population – ont péri entre 1975 et 1979, à la suite de déportations, de meurtres de masse et de famines. Face au génocide perpétré par les Khmers rouges, l'art est un défi que les artistes doivent surmonter. Rithy Panh, Vann Nath, Séra, Svay Sareth ou encore, dans la seconde génération, Davy Chou, Vandy Rattana, Guillaume Suon, Jenny Teng n'ont eu de cesse de faire œuvre de mémoire, pour s'élever contre le déni et l'effacement des morts sans sépulture.Cinquante ans après le début des massacres dans son pays, Soko Phay revisite les relations entre le témoignage et la fiction et montre comment les œuvres mémorielles donnent à penser les séquelles profondes au sein de la société cambodgienne. La création, par ses ressources symboliques, permet de dévoiler ce qui a été dérobé au regard, tout en assurant le travail de transmission des événements non-inscrits dans l'histoire officielle.- Jean-Baptiste Phou, écrivain, metteur en scène, auteur du livre « 80 mots du Cambodge »,  à L'asiathèque. 80 mots qui sont autant d'histoires qui racontent le Cambodge et qui, en plus des racines des mots et de leur résonance dans le coeur des femmes et des hommes qui les utilisent, évoquent le lien particulier qu'entretient l'auteur avec le Cambodge, ses habitants et leur langue. La famille de Jean-Baptiste Phou est d'origine chinoise de l'ethnie Teochew, et a émigré au Cambodge. Les attaches chinoises de la mère restent fortes et Jean-Baptiste, qui a choisi de pratiquer la danse khmère et de s'installer au Cambodge, s'attache à approfondir les traditions du pays auquel il a décidé d'appartenir et en même temps nous fait part des difficultés qu'il rencontre pour comprendre le mode de vie et les réactions des gens et pour s'acclimater et s'insérer. Les mots sont souvent choisis en référence à son histoire personnelle. - Anne-Laure Porée, journaliste, anthropologue, pour son livre « La langue de l'Angkar, leçons khmères rouges d'anéantissement », aux éditions La Découverte. Comment bien torturer pour réussir un interrogatoire en bon révolutionnaire ? Comment présenter un dossier d'aveux qui satisfasse les dirigeants ? Voilà ce qu'enseigne Duch, le chef khmer rouge du centre de mise à mort S-21, aux interrogateurs qu'il forme de 1975 à 1978 à Phnom Penh. Ses leçons, qui dictent comment penser et agir au service du Parti communiste du Kampuchéa, ont été consignées avec soin dans un cahier noir à petits carreaux d'une cinquantaine de pages.Anne-Laure Porée décrypte ce document capital, plongeant le lecteur dans le quotidien des génocidaires cambodgiens. Elle identifie trois mots d'ordre au service de l'anéantissement : cultiver – la volonté révolutionnaire, l'esprit guerrier et la chasse aux « ennemis » –, trier – les « ennemis » à travers diverses méthodes, de la rédaction d'une biographie sommaire à la torture physique, en passant par la réécriture de l'histoire – et purifier – les révolutionnaires comme le corps social.Ces notions reflètent la politique meurtrière orchestrée par le régime de Pol Pot, au pouvoir à partir du 17 avril 1975, qui, en moins de quatre ans, a conduit un quart de la population cambodgienne à la mort. En prenant les Khmers rouges au(x) mot(s), La Langue de l'Angkar rend plus sensibles la logique organisatrice et les singularités d'un régime longtemps resté en marge des études sur les génocides.« En partenariat avec RFI, le numéro hors-série Historia retrace toute l'histoire du Cambodge, des rois bâtisseurs d'Angkor au régime de terreur de Pol Pot, en passant par le protectorat français et la déclaration d'indépendance.Pour en savoir plus : Cambodge : de la grandeur d'Angkor à la terreur khmère rouge ».

He is the author of three other books from Cornell University Press—Brothers in Arms, China's Water Warriors, and The Politics of Piracy. We spoke to Andrew about how the Khmer Rouge remained a force to be reckoned with long after the fall of Pol Pot's government, how they were able to keep their political power intact, and the three key Khmer Rouge leaders who were instrumental in the movement's strange durability.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. It's 50 years since soldiers of the communist Khmer Rouge party stormed into the capital, Phnom Penh. It was the start of a four year reign of terror which resulted in up to two million people being killed. We hear two stories from people affected by the regime. Our guest is journalist and author, Elizabeth Becker. She is one of the foremost authorities on the history of Cambodia, and one of the few westerners to have interviewed Pol Pot.The scientist who invented the white LED lightbulb in 1993 tells his story.Plus, the Bali Nine: young Australians facing the death penalty for drug smuggling and, Spain's historic link to World Book Day.Contributors:Youk Chang – lived through the Khmer Rouge regime Aki Ra - child soldier of Cambodia Elizabeth Becker – journalist and author Professor Shuji Nakamura – inventor of the white LED lightbulb Bishop Tim Harris – friend of one of the Bali Nine families Pere Vicens - book publisher and one of the creators of World Book Day(Photo: The fall of Phnom Penh in 1975.

On April 17,1975, a hardline Communist command led by Pol Pot swept into Phnom Penh and overthrew the US-backed military government of General Lon Nol. The Khmer Rouge went on to write the darkest chapter in Cambodia's history, committing one of the worst genocides of the 20th century. More than two million people were killed during their four-year rule, as they carried out mass killings and forced labour in their pursuit of radical ideologies. 

Il y a 50 ans, le 17 avril 1975, les Khmers rouges arrivent dans la ville de Phnom Penh et forcent ses habitants, qu'ils nomment « le peuple récent », à partir pour les campagnes. Cette journée funeste marquait le début du génocide cambodgien. S'ouvrent alors, les portes de l'horreur : mises en esclavage, famine, exécution, massacres. Aujourd'hui, plusieurs artistes retracent cette période tragique de l'histoire du pays.

Il y a 50 ans, le 17 avril 1975, les Khmers rouges arrivent dans la ville de Phnom Penh et forcent ses habitants, qu'ils nomment « le peuple récent », à partir pour les campagnes. Cette journée funeste marquait le début du génocide cambodgien. S'ouvrent alors, les portes de l'horreur : mises en esclavage, famine, exécution, massacres. Aujourd'hui, plusieurs artistes retracent cette période tragique de l'histoire du pays. L'art, les sentiments, l'éducation sont abolis. Les lycées deviennent des camps d'extermination. Le pays, un gigantesque camp de concentration.

Camboya conmemora los 50 años de la toma de Pnom Penh por parte de los Jemeres Rojos. El 17 de abril de 1975 iniciaba lo que el régimen de Pol Pot llamó "el año cero", el punto de partida de una era de persecución, torturas y trabajos forzados que cobró la vida de un cuarto de la población camboyana. Medio siglo después, la sociedad camboyana sigue reconstruyéndose. Muy pocos sobrevivieron al centro S-21, también conocido como la prisión de Tuol Sleng, una escuela convertida en centro de tortura. Cuando llegó el ejército de liberación en enero de 1979, solo 12 personas fueron encontradas con vida, incluidos cuatro niños, de los 20.000 prisioneros.Norng Chan Phat es uno de ellos. Tenía 8 años cuando a su madre, a su hermano y a él, los arrestaron y llevaron a la S-21."Se abrió la puerta y aparecieron a cada lado de la entrada cuatro o cinco hombres armados. Ordenaron gritando a mi madre que bajara del camión. Estaba muy enferma en ese momento y no podía caminar rápido. Entonces, la empujaron al suelo. Me aterrorizó lo que veía", cuenta a RFI.Luego empezaron los interrogatorios. "Mi madre no entendía las preguntas, entonces comenzaron a torturarla, a darle patadas frente a mis ojos. Corrí hacia ella y la abracé para protegerla, pero me dieron patadas en la espalda. Cinco o seis años después, en el orfanato donde estaba, mi espalda seguía doliéndome", recuerda Norng, quien tiene ahora 55 años.Fue uno de los pocos sobrevivientes del régimen genocida en haber presentado una demanda contra los antiguos líderes de los Jemeres Rojos. En 2009, testificó en su juicio. El Tribunal especial de Camboya, activo desde 2006, solo ha condenado a tres dirigentes, incluido a Kaing Guek Eav (alias Duch), quien controlaba la prisión de Tuol Sleng."El resultado del juicio no me dejó plenamente satisfecho, pero el veredicto permitió que mi madre descansara en paz. Su alma pudo dejar este lugar y reencarnarse en una nueva vida, según la creencia budista. Era necesario que se hiciera justicia para mi madre. De lo contrario, su alma habría permanecido encerrada aquí, esperando desde la ventana de su celda obtener justicia", asegura Norng.Han pasado 50 años, pero el trauma psicológico sigue muy presente, debido a la extrema violencia que sufrieron víctimas como Norng. El régimen de los Jemeres Rojos duró cuatro años, hasta su caída cuando las tropas de Vietnam se tomaron Camboya. Pero su política genocidaria se cree causó 2 millones de muertes, o sea un cuarto de la población total. Muchos sobrevivientes huyeron."El que sabía era castigado"El obispo español Kike Figaredo llegó a Camboya en los años 80 tras haber trabajado con los refugiados."Como misionero, los ayudaba a aprender un oficion, de carpintería o mecánica. Que su vida se cargara de sentido, que tenía sentido seguir adelante", dice al micrófono de RFI. "Tengo un amigo que tenía 15 años durante el régimen. Recuerda que para los Jemeres Rojos la vida humana no tenía ningún valor". Lo que más lo impactó al llegar a Camboya después de la caída de Pol Pot fueron las ansias de los jóvenes de aprender. "Su vida se quedó truncada y lo que buscaban eran oportunidades para estudiar y tener libros, porque durante esa experiencia horrible todo aquel que sabía era castigado". Monseñor Figaredo fundó en Camboya la ONG Sauce. Lo apodan el “obispo de las sillas de ruedas” por su trabajo proporcionando movilidad a miles de mutilados del conflicto. Camboya cuenta 40.000 amputados y ha batidos récords en accidentes de minas antipersona. 30 años de conflicto han convertido el país en un campo de minas a cielo abierto."Vemos que muchas personas con discapacidad incluso están falleciendo a edades tempranas, a los 50 o 60 años, porque su cuerpo está destrozado. Camboya es un país llano y se inunda con facilidad, entonces las minas corren de un sitio para otro. Fueron colocadas desde los años 70 hasta el año 1998", detalla Figaredo. Hoy en día destaca que "ahora Camboya es líder en desminaje y exporta equipos al mundo entero".Las ONGs camboyanas quieren poner fin definitivo a las minas antipersonas este 2025, en el 50 aniversario de la caída de Pnom Penh. "Estamos ahí pronto", asegura el obispo de Battambang.

En juin dernier, Rithy Panh sortait en salles Rendez-vous avec Pol Pot, une fiction adaptée des mémoires de la journaliste Elizabeth Becker. Comment ce film est-il venu compléter l'œuvre documentaire que le réalisateur cambodgien avait déjà consacrée au génocide khmer rouge ? Pourquoi avoir choisi le point de vue d'une grande reporter, et qu'est-ce que […]

Avec une nouvelle émission chaque semaine : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Une nouvelle édition revue, actualisée et largement augmentée d'un formidable succès de librairie paru en 2000, et plus que jamais d'actualité. La France, comme tous les pays occidentaux, est une nation intellectuellement et politiquement partagée, mais qui se targue avec fierté d'être une société de liberté. Or, dans le domaine des idées, ce principe reste à démontrer. Car tout se passe comme si un petit milieu, essentiellement parisien et situé au carrefour de la vie intellectuelle et politique et du monde médiatique, s'était donné le pouvoir de dire le bien et le mal, de distribuer des bons et des mauvais points et de décider des sujets qui sont autorisés dans le débat public ou au contraire interdits. Ce même milieu s'est ainsi attribué une sorte de pouvoir de police. De police de la pensée, de police du vocabulaire, de police du comportement, notamment du comportement politique. Ceux qui contreviennent à l'idéologie dominante risquent par conséquent l'injure, l'anathème, le mensonge, l'exclusion sociale, parfois un procès ou, plus grave encore, la menace physique et la pression psychologique. Le phénomène ne date pas d'aujourd'hui. Dans les années 1950, les élites culturelles exaltaient Staline et le paradis soviétique ; dans les années 1960 et 1970, les prodiges de Fidel Castro, de Mao ou de Pol Pot - jusqu'à ce qu'on s'aperçoive que ces dictateurs avaient mis en place un système criminel et totalitaire ; en 1981, elles croyaient quitter la nuit pour la lumière ; dans les années 1990, ces mêmes élites affirmaient que le temps des nations, des familles et des religions était achevé. Depuis les années 2000, le terrorisme intellectuel n'a pas faibli et s'est même aggravé. Témoin, ce tableau de notre vie des idées et de notre vie politique particulièrement édifiant : projet européen dénaturé et détourné quand il devient une machine oublieuse de la personnalité de chaque peuple ; culture de l'excuse qui désarme l'autorité face à l'explosion de la délinquance ; encouragement au communautarisme et développement de l'islamisme ; perte de contrôle de l'immigration ; bouleversements anthropologiques interprétés comme des progrès de la modernité ; censure médiatique et parfois judiciaire à l'égard des opposants à l'idéologie dominante ; wokisme et racialisme d'extrême gauche ; attribution extensive de l'étiquette d'" extrême droite ", qualificatif infamant, à toute personne ou toute pensée dissidente, etc. L'auteur, Jean Sévillia, est notre invité, et il raconte trois quarts de siècle de terrorisme intellectuel : une synthèse indispensable pour ceux qui aiment vraiment la liberté de penser !Distribué par Audiomeans.

The Gaslit Nation Media Committee, a watchdog against access journalism and regime propaganda, has developed this essential guide. We urge all members of the media to reject complicity in the erosion of democracy.   The American crisis is a global struggle between democracy and fascism—one that threatens the entire world. Each of us has a role in defending freedom. If you work in media, use this guide to safeguard your integrity, your liberty, and the values we cherish—before it's too late. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy.   1. Don't Bury the Lede: Call It an Illegal Tech-Backed Coup To build trust, stick to the facts. When Trump's administration acts illegally, say it—especially in the headline. Call it what it is: a tech-backed coup that exposes Americans' most sensitive data and replaces federal workers with unsecured A.I. to establish a new surveillance state. 2. Make Private Prison Execs Famous Investigate the financial interests behind Trump's immigration system—expose executives, board members, and their connections. Pursue them with cameras; they can't hide behind profits while lives are ruined and civil liberties eroded. 3. Fascism Needs Ignorance From dismantling the Department of Education to the “War on Woke” in universities, Trump continues delegitimizing education. This isn't about competition with other countries—it's about giving everyone the chance to grow as independent thinkers who reject fascism. 4. Follow the Money Investigate Trump's major donors and their role in Musk's illegal purge of government services. Hold them accountable—ask how they view their investments amid the chaos. Track their contracts and regulatory benefits. 5. Expose National Security Threats Trump removed key military officials who prevented unlawful actions. Without them, who will stop him? Trump holds the nuclear football, cozying up to adversaries, sending bombs to Israel, and threatening wars against Canada and Greenland. Focus on how our adversaries are taking advantage. 6. Kleptowatch Focus on how companies exploit customers through greedflation and Amazon's payola for search visibility. While the Biden administration has much to answer for, the media must spotlight the absence of enforcement of investigations brought by Lina Khan and Tim Wu, leaving corporate kleptocrats unchecked. 7. Media Must Thoroughly Cover Media Journalists must cover media attacks, including blocked access to info and censorship (e.g., Ann Telnaes at WaPo). Report on media ecosystem shifts, address bias, and clarify distinctions between reporting, opinion, and lies. Provide context on media ownership. 8. Draw Historical Parallels Trump, Musk, and allies are enacting policies similar to dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. The media must challenge their unfounded assertions. They are attacking the press and critics, reminiscent of regimes like Pol Pot's and Rwanda's genocide. 9. Trump is Trying to Turn America into an Autocracy: Act Like It Columbia Journalism Review shared 10 essential tips for journalists reporting from autocracies. Share these with your teams, including your company's lawyers—killing big stories and obeying in advance is self-destructive. 10. Shine a Light on Private Prisons The private prison industry needs scrutiny, especially with Trump's lack of oversight. Innocent people are caught in reckless immigration raids as the system grows unchecked. Regular coverage of Guantanamo Bay is crucial due to its history of unlawful detention and Trump's plan for a prison camp there for 30,000 people. 11. Gilead is Here The media has abandoned calling out Trump's toxic masculinity regarding reproductive rights and civil rights. Raise awareness of the deadly consequences for women, including trans women, and all nonwhite people. 12. Access Journalism is Betrayal Fascism's history includes journalists from major outlets becoming "masters of euphemism," (to quote Gareth Jones), downplaying atrocities and broken laws to protect access. History will remember you for doing your job or being bought. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy. 13. Family Members Deserve Special Attention Trump's administration is granting lucrative positions to family members of allies and donors, giving them undue influence over policy. These self-dealing networks must be mapped and exposed. 14. Unmask Voter Suppression Election analysis must address gerrymandering, unfair Senate representation favoring "red states," the Electoral College designed to protect elites, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Don't treat our voter suppression crisis like "horse race" politics. 15. Focus on the 1% Expose extreme wealth inequality—how the 1% dodge taxes and exploit loopholes to preserve their wealth. Put a spotlight on how inequality fuels authoritarianism and is a direct threat to democracy. 16. Cover Protests Highlight actions challenging the White House's destructive crimes. People need to see that citizens care about the laws being broken by Trump's administration and that they're not alone. 17. They're Testing Boundaries: Say It When something is "unprecedented," that means they're testing boundaries, to see what they can get away with. Say it. 18. The Weird Fights Matter Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America may seem "weird," but it's part of the fascist pageantry, like Mussolini's famous eyeliner and Putin's shirtless photos. Look to experts in autocracy to see which stories are being used as a distraction and which stories are important to cover.  An expanded version of the Gaslit Nation Media Guide can be found here: https://www.gaslitnationpod.com/media-guide   For More: Ten Tips for Reporting in an Autocracy American journalists have much to learn from colleagues in countries where democracy has been under siege. https://www.cjr.org/political_press/ten-tips-for-reporting-in-an-autocracy.php   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Hej, dzisiaj opowiem historię Pol Pota. Jednego z największych zbrodniarzy w dziejach świata. Człowieka, który w Kambodży próbował stworzyć komunistyczny raj, podczas gdy doprowadzić do śmierci milionów ludzi. Tematem odcinka są nie tyle jego rządy co droga która doprowadziła go i Czerwonych Khmerów do władzy. Saloth Sar bo tak na prawdę nazywał się kambodżański dyktator pochodził z rodziny o sino-khmerskich korzeniach. Jednak jego rodzice wychowywali go zgodnie z khmerską tradycją. Matka była buddystką. Ojciec posiadał sporo ziemi. Sar wywodził się więc z całkiem bogatej rodziny choć potem temu zaprzeczał przekonując w wywiadach, że pochodzi z biednej chłopskiej rodziny.Zresztą chłopstwo, a nie robotnicy mieli być podstawą jego rewolucji. Pol Pot stworzył doktrynę zgodną z lokalną tradycją. Twierdził, że nie potrzeba nawet tłumaczyć na język khmerski dzieł Marksa i Engelsa. Więcej na temat jego pomysłów na państwo, skąd miał takie pomysły, a także jak przebiegała jego ścieżka po władzę dowiecie się słuchając najnowszego odcinka.

Man this was a horrific thing to study especially when it got to the actual years mentioned. I highly advise studying the Pol Pol era for yourself and learning this often overlooked moment in history, especially if you've never heard the name.WHEAT20 at checkout https://magicmind.com/WHEAT20

All the statistics point to an increase in acts of aggression and violent crime in our society. But why is this happening? Secular thinkers used to opine that religion exacerbated violence; the theory being that commitment to absolute truth would cause people to insist that their viewpoint must be adhered to and that violence would be the tool most readily used by close-minded bigots to force others to change. But the twentieth-century gave the lie to this notion - instead of the religious zealots being the violent ones, it turns out that the atheists and pagans (from Lenin to Stalin to Hitler to Pol Pot to Mao) have been most guilty of acts of violence and that frequently against people of religion. In other words, secularism seems to be less of a bulwark against violence than it is a foundation for it. But why would this be? Chuck and Aaron discuss how belief in absolute truth creates the possibility of rational discourse as a tool to persuade others, but a lack of belief in God lends itself to an abandonment of the hope of using logic as a means of personal contact. This makes education hopeless, and the only tool left for personal persuasion is power. The end result, unfortunately, has all too frequently been violence. For Christians, the hope of peace can only be found in the God who personally took on the violence of this world but didn't respond in kind, who absorbed the physical terrorism of the Roman Empire, absorbed it, and loved in return. If Christians can model for our culture what it means to live in the God who eschewed violence for self-sacrificial love, and if Christians can recommit to the truth which comes from the God who is the Truth Incarnate and persuades others with relational love instead of force, then the Christian church can become a paradigm for how the world can run on peace and not violence.

Casi ningún dictador se ha resistido al atractivo de un buen coche. De alguna manera es una forma de exponer y expresar su poder. Vamos a hacer un repaso a los coches de unos cuantos dictadores muy conocidos y, como siempre en Garaje Hermético, habrá sorpresas y curiosidades. El Bonus Track… te va a sorprender. Antes un par de aclaraciones: No voy a hablar de colecciones privadas ni cosas así, sino de los coches que usaban en eventos públicos. Y como los coches son lo importante, en este listado primero van los coches y luego, el personaje. Aurus Senat. Kim Jong-Un. Esta limusina Aurus Senat de fabricación rusa fue regalo de Vladimir Putin, y el mismo utilizado una igual como coche presidencial. El líder norcoreano acude a todos los actos públicos con este modelo, ya que sus diseñadores aseguran que “podrás sentirte tan seguro en un vehículo militar blindado”. Chevrolet Bel Air 1957. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. En realidad, el coche de Trujillo no fue un Chevrolet, sino un Packard pintado de rojo llamado por los habitantes de la República Dominicana, “El carro de la muerte”. Trujillo era muy aficionado a los coches y tenía una buena colección, incluidos coches americanos y algún Ferrari. ¿Por qué hemos elegido este? Porque fue el coche en el que un confiado Trujillo sufrió un atentado desde una motocicleta, desde la que dispararon más de 60 balas… HongQi CA770. Mao Tse Tung. A pesar de que Stalin le regalo uno de los exclusivos SIZ soviéticos, Mao quiso que se le viese en un coche chino, el HongQi, en castellano “bandera roja” CA770. ¿Fabricado en China?, pues sí, pero era una copia, en realidad otra copia, del Chrysler Imperial con motor V8 de 215 CV. Lancia Astura “Presidenziale”. Benito Mussolini. El líder italiano conto con un Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B Lungo Torpedo B y un Lancia Astura azul, diseñado por Sergio Pininfarina en exclusiva para el “Duce", que fue el más usado, aunque Mussolini prefería el Alfa. El Lancia contaba con un motor V8 de 3 litros de cilindrada y 82 CV a 4.000 revoluciones y el exclusivo interior estaba revestido de cuero azul. Como curiosidad, este coche ha estado en la colección privada de Bernie Ecclestone. Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman. Pol Pot. Nada impidió a este personaje disfrutar del lujo de un buen coche capitalista. Nada menos que una limusina Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman de 1973, un coche extraordinario y que fue la limusina preferida por muchos jefes de estado durante dos décadas. Solo se fabricaron 428 con motor V8 de 6.23 litros y 250 CV, su peso superaba las 2,5 toneladas y superaba los 200 km/h de velocidad máxima. Mercedes-Benz 770. Adolf Hitler. O como algunos lo llamaban, el Großer Mercedes (en alemán "Gran Mercedes"). Por supuesto hablamos del coche de Hitler, aunque tanto el español Francisco Franco como el italiano Benito Mussolini tuvieron uno por regalo del propio Hitler. El coche contaba con un motor de 8 cilindros en línea casi 8 litros y 150 CV. Con el blindaje el peso alcanzaba los 5.420 kilos totales y el consumo nada menos que 50 litros a los 100 km. Rolls-Royce Phantom IV. Francisco Franco. Se supone que el “Caudillo”, como él mismo se autoproclamó, era hombre bastante austero en su vida privada. Pese a ello y a que tampoco tenía carné de conducir, contó con un garaje espectacular con coches como un Cadillac Fleetwood, un Chrysler Imperial o el super exclusivo Mercedes 770 regalo de Hitler. Pero… su favorito fue siempre el Rolls Royce Phantom IV del que solo se fabricaron 18 unidades entre 1959 y 1956, estas fueron vendidas únicamente a miembros de la realeza y jefes de Estado. España adquirió tres unidades, que se conservan en el parque móvil de la Casa Real y son las mismas que ahora emplea el Rey Felipe VI en sus desplazamientos oficiales. Cuentan con matrículas militares: ET-42926-O, ET-42927-O y ET-42928-O. El motor es un 8 cilindros en línea de 5.675 cm3 y algo menos de 200 CV. Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII. Teodoro Obiang. Os hablo de la nación africana que fuese una colonia española, Guinea Ecuatorial, antes llamada Guinea Española. Ahora es un régimen dictatorial mandado desde 1982 por Teodoro Obiang, que cuenta como coche de estado con un impresionante Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII. ZIS 115. Lósif Stalin. Stalin, que había usado coches occidentales decidió hacer uno “Made in Rusia” pero a medida. Así que encargó a la SIZ rusa que se inspirase… por no decir que copiase un Packard Custom Super Eight. El coche fue entregado en 1949 y este 115 era un verdadero carro blindado, de 5 toneladas, capaz de soportar el impacto de cualquier tipo de proyectil y con motor de 8 cilindros, 6 litros y 162 CV. La velocidad máxima, debido al peso, apenas era de 120 km/h. Se construyeron varias unidades, porque Stalin era un paranoico respecto a su seguridad personal y nunca viajaba dos días seguidos en el mismo coche. ZIL 115. Fidel Castro. El revolucionario cubano tuvo diferentes coches: Un viejo Oldsmobile, incluso un Alfa Romeo, un Mercedes-Benz “Adenauer” que le encantó, motivo por el cual compró un Mercedes 560 SEL para desplazamientos particulares. Cuando Fidel se, digamos, “asoció” al régimen comunista de la extinta URSS, rápidamente cambió a un ZIL 115 soviético regalo del Kremlin. Castro llegó a tener tres ZIL115 completamente blindados, coche de 6 metros de largo y 2 de ancho, motor V-8 de 7.6 litros y que, debido a su blindaje, alcanzaban las 3.6 toneladas de peso. Bonus Track: Renault 5 GTL. Thomas Sankara. Rodrigo: “¿No te habrás equivocado?”. Pues no… y todo tiene explicación. Los habitantes de Burkina Faso, antes llamada Alto Volta, utilizan la palabra “Wabenzi” para referirse a los políticos corruptos que utilizan coches de la marca Mercedes-Benz… y es que “Wabenzi” significa literalmente “gente de Benz”, en referencia al coche. Sankara tomó el poder en 1983 en Burkina Faso y para demostrar que él no era un “Wabenzi” se deshizo de todos los Mercedes-Benz y convirtió a su modesto y abollado Renault 5 verde en el coche presidencial. El 15 de octubre de 1987 Sankara fue derrocado y más tarde asesinado. Conclusión. Ya la hemos dicho al comenzar: Los coches son para todos los gobernantes, y sobre todo para los dictadores, un verdadero escaparate… para bien y para mal. Os advierto que me he dejado unos cuantos en el tintero…

En la penumbra de la historia, hay nombres que resuenan con un eco aterrador. Pol Pot, un líder cuya ambición desmedida y visión distorsionada llevaron a una nación a la oscuridad más profunda. En este episodio nos adentraremos en el corazón del genocidio camboyano, uno de los horrores históricos más grandes del siglo XX, donde la ideología radical se convirtió en un arma mortal y la vida humana fue despojada de su valor. ¿Cómo pudo un país caer en la trampa de la barbarie? Acompáñanos mientras desenterramos los secretos de un régimen que convirtió la utopía en un infierno, y exploramos las cicatrices que aún perduran en la memoria colectiva de un pueblo. Una producción de El Grupo Muy Importante@elgrupomuyimportanteProducción EjecutivaDaniela Ormazábal y Federico CapocciEdición, montaje y música originalFederico CapocciAsistencia de Producción

The communist Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on April 17, 1975. Radha Manickam, a new Christian, watched them arrive from the balcony of his parents' apartment. It was Radha's first exposure to the Khmer Rouge. The leader of the Khmer Rouge was Pol Pot, led the most violent and brutal government in modern history. In its doomed attempt to create an agrarian utopia, between 1975 and 1979 Pol Pot's regime murdered over 1.7 million people. Many were beaten to death or executed. Others starved to death or died of fatigue or some wretched disease. Mao and Stalin's Communist regimes killed far more people. But no other government has destroyed nearly a quarter of its own citizens.Today Pol Pot is largely forgotten. But he and the Khmer Rouge are well worth remembering. Because the ideas that formed the Khmer Rouge are still with us today. Also worth remembering are the stories of those who survived. People like Radha Manickam. We'll be telling his story over the next three episodes. It is in many ways a brutal story. One of loss and grief and terror. But it's also a story of hope and grace. And ultimately, redemption.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences. The book and this series are titled “Intended for Evil” by Les Sillars.Audio from:The Associated PressNBC NewsABC NewsSupport WORLD News Group at wng.org/donate

Sunday, 12 January 2025   but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:20   “And you, amass – yourselves – treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor an eating – it evaporates, and where stealers – they tunnel not, nor they steal” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus noted that His disciples shouldn't amass for themselves treasures upon the earth. Now, He explains where amassing treasures is appropriate, beginning with, “And you, amass – yourselves – treasures in heaven.”   In the previous verse, Jesus said to not amass treasures “upon the earth.” Now He says to amass them “in heaven.” The realms are different, and the way to amass them in each of those places also differs.   Regardless of what dispensation a person lives, the only way to accomplish what Jesus says is through faith. Nothing earthly can be taken to heaven. Nothing done on earth meets the bar of heavenly rewards unless it is done in faith.   This is the primary lesson of Hebrews 11 where people from various dispensations are all rewarded for their faith. The actions were merely an outcropping of faith. It is faith, and faith alone, that bridges the span between the earthly and the heavenly realms in this regard.   To understand this, think of some prominent person who gives away a great deal for various charities, maybe Bill Gates. He has donated an extraordinary amount to AIDs research, for example.   His charitable foundation has totaled grant payments of $77.6 billion dollars. And yet, he is not a man of faith. As such, he has not amassed a single treasure in heaven. And more, if he doesn't come to Jesus before he dies, he will be chucked into the same Lake of Fire where Adolph Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and all of the other “bad” people of the earth will go. There is no buying one's way into God's favor.  However, when deeds are done in faith, rewards are stored up for that person in heaven “where neither moth nor an eating – it evaporates, and where thieves – they tunnel not, nor they steal.”   In these words, Jesus has restated the same words as the previous verse but changed them according to the situation. The two verses, side by side, show the contrast –   You amass, not – yourselves – treasures upon the earth, where moth and an eating – it evaporates, and where stealers – they tunnel, and they steal.   And you, amass – yourselves – treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor an eating – it evaporates, and where stealers – they tunnel not, nor they steal.   These words of Jesus, though spoken under the law to His disciples, carry the same truth as those in the church today. Paul explains when and how these “treasures” will be received as rewards by those in the church in 1 Corinthians 3 and 2 Corinthians 5.   Those who live by faith and act in faith are saving up rewards that will be handed out at the Bema seat of Christ. Nothing done in faith will lose its reward.   Life application: As noted above, Hebrews 11 explains how something earthly becomes a source of reward in heaven. The precept is explained and then repeated time and again –   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:1-3   This is then followed by line after line of examples of faith: By faith Abel / By faith Enoch / By faith Noah / By faith Abraham / By faith Sarah / By faith Abraham (again) / By faith Isaac / By faith Jacob / By faith Joseph / etc.   But what does Paul say in Romans and Galatians? He demonstrates that law and faith are mutually exclusive –   “For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.” Romans 4:13-15   “What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith; 31 but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.” Romans 9:30-32   “...knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” Galatians 2:16   “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for ‘the just shall live by faith.' 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but ‘the man who does them shall live by them.'” Galatians 3:11, 12   If you are attempting to merit God's favor through law observance, you have set aside grace. You will receive no rewards, no treasures in heaven, for your conduct. Because you are not living by faith, even if you were once saved by faith, you should expect no rewards at all for your faithless life as you arrogantly set aside the grace of God found in Jesus Christ. Live by faith, put away your deeds of the law, and start amassing treasures that are truly heavenly.   Heavenly Father, how dull we are to assume that we can outdo Jesus through law observance. He has done it all! He has fulfilled the law! In Him, we are imputed His righteousness. Why would we look for another righteousness that is not of faith? How dull we are. Help us to not be so dull. Amen.  

The Nazis weren't the only regime that tried to normalize the process of sterilizing the “undesirables” in order to benefit society. In fact, the Third Reich borrowed the concept from, and was able to normalize it inside Germany, because of the laws that had been instituted in America decades earlier. The face of depopulation is always thought to be of some genocidal dictator standing on a pile of dead bodies, while the truth is that the work that Margaret Sanger did in the early 1900s is responsible for more death than Pol Pot could ever dream of. The Nazi death machine borrowed its ideas from Sanger's group which predated the Reich by many years, and Ernst Rudin, the “Director of Genetic Sterilization” under Hitler, used the American eugenics program as the “proof of concept” that he needed to launch the Nazi's Racial Hygiene program. The two-pronged attack of sterilization mixed with abortion has created a hole inside America that will never be filled, and Sanger's Planned Parenthood organization is the leading culprit in this destruction.

What if more Christians dedicated time to learning about other religions? How could this strengthen our faith along with our ability to share the Gospel? Renowned Christian apologist and philosopher, Dr. Doug Groothuis, joins Frank to discuss the inspiration behind his latest book, 'World Religions in Seven Sentences,' along with the core beliefs of today's major world religions—one sentence at a time. Together, they'll tackle questions like:What are the seven sentences that represent each world religion, and why did Doug choose them?What makes Friedrich Nietzsche the "quintessential atheist"?Should atheism be classified as a religion? And what typically happens when atheism and Marxism collide?What are some of the key differences between Hinduism and Buddhism?What's the connection between Nietzsche, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, and human depravity?Why do some people choose to be atheists?What happened when Doug encountered a Hinda guru at the age of 18?How do Judaism and Islam differ in their relationship to Christianity?If exploring diverse faith systems seems overwhelming, 'World Religions in Seven Sentences' is the perfect guide to get started. Tune in as Frank and Doug reveal how false religions often lead to human suffering and why Christianity alone is the solution to the problem of evil in the world!Resources mentioned during the episode:'World Religions in 7 Sentences': https://a.co/d/gExzxhzDoug's Website: https://www.douglasgroothuis.com/Doug's Podcast: https://www.douglasgroothuis.com/podcast-1

I have been meaning to speak on this topic for a while now. An email I got from a listener a few weeks ago raised the issue, and I have not been able to forget it. I addressed the subject in a blog about a year ago, but I have not addressed it in a podcast in relation to nonduality. This is the question of justice. Those who are exploring nonduality wonder how it addresses questions of justice. This subject is raised in a couple of contexts.One is that if there is no personal afterlife of the individual because the ego is an illusion, then what about all those people who did terrible things in life. People like Adolph Hitler or Pol Pot or war criminals or serial killers. If there is no Divine Judgment or hell, then does that mean these evil characters get off Scott-Free? It seems so wrong! So unjust! The other context in which this topic arises is that of working for justice in society today. I am talking about social action. Does nonduality mean that everything is fine just the way it is, and there is no need to try to make this a better and more just world? Does nonduality mean abandoning any sense of social justice or even personal morality? If Nondual Reality is beyond the duality of good and evil, does that mean that there is no moral arc to the universe? Does that mean that the arc of history does not bend toward justice?

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Noah Kulwin and Brendan James to discuss the most recent season of the Blowback podcast. Then, she speaks with Ross Barkan, contributing writer at New York Magazine and columnist at Crain's New York, to discuss his recent piece published in The Nation entitled "Is Eric Adams's Luck About to Run Out?" First, Emma runs through updates on Israel's attacks on civilians in Lebanon, the UN General Assembly's overwhelming vote to end Israel's military presence in Gaza and the West Bank, reporting on Biden's weapons transfers, the uncommitted movement, the teamsters' lack of a presidential endorsement, swing state polling, New York State's Democratic Party problem, the Fed, Russian offensives in Ukraine, Beshear's conversion therapy ban, and dropping overdose rates in the US, before parsing a little more thoroughly through the developing story of Israel's en-masse attack of Lebanese citizens (Hezbollah or not) via the use of rigged communications technologies. Emma is then joined by Noah Kulwin and Brendan James as they outline why they chose Cambodia for the focus of the fifth season of Blowback, unpacking its role as a central (and emblematic) node in the constellation of US intervention in Southeast Asia during the Cold War. Expanding on this, Kulwin and James dive into the complex cast of characters that dominate this season, first tackling the Nixon-Kissinger paring that set the blueprint for the entire thing, first sabotaging Vietnam peace negotiations in 1968 to help ensure a GOP victory, before centering a strategy of “Peace with Honor,” by which Nixon meant a shift to more expansive bombing campaigns, and immediately expanding said campaign by pushing Cambodian Royal Norodom Sihanouk to embrace a US carpet bombing campaign on his country (not war, totally not war), all while hiding the entire campaign behind a dual reporting system, separate books, and direct, behind-the-scenes communications between the White House and relevant parties. Shifting focus to Cambodia, Noah and Brendan parse through the Khmer Rouge's origins as an auxiliary, socialist-aligned force with the North Vietnamese (the basis for Nixon's carpet bombing), only to help launch a full-scale Civil War in the wake of the US-backed deposition of Sihanouk by South Vietnam in 1970, resulting in years of bloodshed (increased by ongoing US bombings) that saw the Khmer Rouge gain more and more territory and power, until the formerly-small-guerilla movement successfully sacked the capital city of Phnom Penh, launching five years of forced labor, full-scale genocide and the extermination of ethnic minorities, refugee crises, mass executions and more under the rule of Pol Pot. Continuing, James and Kulwin move into the breakdown of Cambodian society under the brutal regime of Pol Pot and expanding conflict as the Khmer Rouge turned against the North Vietnamese government that had supported them (in part due to the Khmer Rouge's budding relationship with the US and the West), resulting in said government launching a full-scale invasion of Cambodia, getting rid of Pol Pot and establishing a friendly regime, all to the condemnation of the West that had been peacefully watching Cambodians die for nearly a decade. After briefly expanding on the mythology tying the Khmer Rouge's rule to the greater Soviet movement and the obvious failures of said narrative when you look into who was actually supporting the regime, Emma, Brendan and Noah jump to the modern period, unpacking the symbiotic nature of a fully-capitalist Cold War between the US and China, and what that has meant for Cambodian development over the last decade, wrapping up the interview by running through the final figures on the mass deaths from US carpet bombing (100-150k), the US-backed Civil War (300-500k), and the following Cambodian Genocide (1.7m). Ross Barkan and Emma then dive right into the overwhelming cloud of corruption around NYC Mayor Eric Adams, including FOUR federal investigations ranging from domestic to foreign corruption, and the correlating complete incompetence of his governance, with Barkan comparing his administration to a Tammany Hall that didn't actually deliver anything to the people. After briefly expanding on the role an overwhelmingly unpopular New York Democratic Party is having on races up and down the ballot, Ross and Emma tackle the particulars of Adams' corrupt relationship with the NYPD and its deadly impact. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack North Carolina GOP Gubernatorial Nominee Mark Robinson's odd sermon on the ability to take and make life with one's genitalia, JD Vance's continuing commitment to racist conspiracy, and Ryan Grim's cathartic shutdown of Matt Walsh's absurd anti-Haitian bigotry.

Most people involved in this case – the victim, two of three boys arrested for the murder, the main witnesses, and Haing's neighbors – were Cambodian refugees.

Pastor Doug Wilson proudly calls himself a "Christian nationalist." What does he mean by that? Pastor Wilson talks about the idea of "Christendom," and how America remained an outpost of Christendom until progressive sabotage in the 20th century. He also explains how belief in God is the root of political rights, and secularism is the path directly to the tyrannies of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.
