Today on Uncommon Sense, we're going even deeper into the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and the more we uncover, the stranger it all looks. This wasn't just a tragedy; it was a deliberate political hit, and the inconsistencies surrounding it can't be ignored. From the bizarre behavior of the FBI to the unanswered questions about who ordered the attack, the pieces simply don't add up.If they'll take out someone as kind, respectful, and reasonable as Charlie Kirk, it means no Conservative is safe from being targeted. We must demand full accountability, real transparency, and nothing less than actual justice. Because the truth is, this was never just about Charlie, it was about silencing an entire movement. Not happening.

Martha sat down with Donald Trump Jr. to reflect on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk following his assassination.  Don Jr. opens up about his friendship with Charlie, the growing threats facing conservative voices, and why he believes Charlie's fearless commitment to faith, family, and country has inspired a generation.  Martha and Don Jr. weigh in on the impact of this moment on American politics and what it means for unity moving forward.

Michael speaks with Dr. Alan Wiseman of Vanderbilt University about groundbreaking new research into the education divide in American politics. Once, both parties in Congress shared a common bond: many lawmakers, regardless of ideology, came from elite universities. Today, that landscape has dramatically shifted. While Democrats have largely maintained their ties to Ivy League and other selective institutions, Republicans have moved sharply away from them. Dr. Wiseman explains how this 50-year transformation has reshaped Congress, what it reveals about polarization, and why the educational background of lawmakers may be just as important as their party affiliation. It's a thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of education, politics, and democracy itself. Original air date 11 September 2025.

Friendships across political divides are rare these days, but Carmen and Andrea prove it's still possible in their bold new show "Culture and Consequence." Their honest, sometimes heated conversation reveals how two people can see America through completely different lenses while maintaining deep respect for each other.Carmen shares her journey from uncritical patriotism to a more nuanced view of American possibility, while Andrea explains how her childhood experiences led her to question American exceptionalism from an early age. What unfolds is a fascinating exploration of how our personal backgrounds shape our political beliefs, and whether it's possible to love a country while acknowledging its deep flaws.The discussion heats up when Governor Gavin Newsom enters the conversation. Andrea's skepticism about his recent rightward moves contrasts with Carmen's defense of his record, revealing a key tension within progressive politics – the balance between ideological purity and pragmatic coalition-building. Their passionate debate mirrors conversations happening across the country about what we should expect from our political leaders.Beyond specific politicians, Carmen and Andrea tackle fundamental questions about American democracy: Can good people thrive in a political system dominated by money? Why do Democrats often demand perfection while Republicans rally behind deeply flawed candidates? And most importantly, is there hope for bridging our divides when misinformation runs rampant?The episode ends with a surprising discovery of common ground, as both hosts agree that most Americans are more moderate than extreme political rhetoric suggests. Their friendship models what healthy political discourse can look like – passionate but respectful, challenging but loving.Join us weekly for "Culture and Consequence" as we navigate the messy reality of American politics together.

This discussion delves into the significant voter shift happening in the United States, with a New York Times analysis showing a swing of 4.5 million voters from the Democratic to the Republican party between 2020 and 2024. The hosts attribute this shift to a perceived "mask slip" by Democrats, who they claim, for the first time, were unable to hide their true beliefs and policies from the public. The conversation also links this political trend to business decisions, highlighting how companies like Bed Bath & Beyond are reportedly choosing to close stores in California due to what they describe as an "overregulated, expensive, and risky" business environment. The hosts argue that these events are all part of a larger narrative where a disconnect between public sentiment and political/corporate actions is leading to a major realignment in both the political and economic landscape.

For the month of August, we’re highlighting episodes from the 2024-2025 season of Energy Policy Now. We’ll be back with new content, and a new season, on September the 9th. Former Republican U.S. congressman Bob Inglis offers a conservative perspective on climate solutions in discussion with Penn climatologist Michael Mann. --- (This episode was recorded on February 13, 2025, during Penn Energy Week) Politically conservative and concerned about climate change? In this special episode of the Energy Policy Now podcast, Penn climatologist Michael Mann talks with Bob Inglis, former Republican Congressman from South Carolina and current executive director of RepublicEN.org, about bridging the partisan climate divide. In a wide-ranging conversation recorded live during Energy Week at Penn 2025 at the University of Pennsylvania, Mann and Inglis discuss a conservative view on climate change, how conservative messaging on climate has evolved over time, and how common solutions might be found in an era of partisan climate divide. Inglis also offers his view on carbon pricing and strategies to reign in carbon emissions in the U.S. The conversation is moderated by Sanya Carley, faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Bob Inglis is a former U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 4th congressional district. He is the executive director of RepublicanEn.org at George Mason University. Michael Mann is director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Important note on the conversation: Due to a technical problem, the first two minutes of Bob Inglis’ conversation are difficult to hear (from 5:40 to 7:40). We’ve transcribed those two minutes in the show notes, below, to make it easier to follow along. A full transcript of this and all Energy Policy Now podcasts is available on the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy website. Bob Inglis (5:40): Yeah, so for my first six years in Congress I said that climate change is nonsense. All I knew was that Al Gore was for it. And as much as I represented Greenville-Spartanburg South Carolina, that was the end of the inquiry. Okay, pretty ignorant. But that’s the way it was my first six years. Out of Congress six years, as you just heard, doing commercial real estate law again and then, had the opportunity to run for the same seat again before, our son had just turned 18, so he was voting for the first time, and he came to me and he said, dad, I’ll vote for you. But you’re going to clean up your act on the environment. His four sisters agreed, his mother agreed. New constituency, you know. So you got to respond to those people who can change the locks on the doors to your house, you know. So, very important to respond to these people. And so that was step one of a three step metamorphosis. Step two was going to Antarctica with the [House of Representatives] Science Committee and seeing the evidence in the iceberg drillings. Step three was another Science Committee trip and, um, really a spiritual awakening which seems improbable, right, on a godless Science Committee trip, because we all know that all scientists are godless. Right? Well, apparently not. Because this Aussie climate scientist was showing me the glories of the Great Barrier Reef. I could see he was worshipping God in what he was showing me. You know, St. Francis of Assisi supposedly said “preach the gospel at all times. If necessary use words.” So Scott Heron, this Aussie climate scientist who’s now become a very dear friend was doing that. I could see it in his eyes, it was written all over his face. It was in his excitement about what he was showing me. He was clearly worshipping God. So I knew we shared a world view. Forty words were spoken.

This week on Just Politics, host Joan Neal returns to the interview chair for something that is becoming less and less common: an honest political conversation with someone who has strongly different views. Joan interviews prominent political figure and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who currently serves as an MSNBC political analyst. This episode highlights the diversity within the Catholic world on political issues: Both Neal and Steele are Black Catholics with similar backgrounds who have nevertheless arrived at vastly different perspectives on government, economics, and Catholic social teaching.  Steele shares his personal journey navigating the often tumultuous landscape, where belief systems and political ideologies collide, and explains how his Catholic faith has shaped his political career, influenced his decisions, and guided him through challenges. Despite stark differences, both engage in constructive dialogue, demonstrating that meaningful conversation across political divides remains possible. As Joan notes, “We will never move forward on our vision of establishing a more perfect union until we can move past this extreme division.” Join us for this insightful conversation that explores the power of conviction and the role of faith in shaping political landscapes, offering practical wisdom for navigating our polarized moment.   LINKS:  https://networklobby.org/economy-for-all-agenda/

X: @ASwoyer @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Alex Swoyer, attorney, legal affairs reporter for The Washington Times and author of "Lawless Lawfare." Alex Swoyer has a unique look at the crumbling of our nation's justice system as a lawyer and member of the Supreme Court bar. She has had a seat inside the Supreme Court, federal courthouses, and halls of Congress during her more than a decade of experience covering national politics and Capitol Hill. She's watched Trump's high stake litigation unfold and has witnessed the impact his cases have had on various industries outside the legal world—including increasing the political divide and distrust in the media. She's licensed to practice law in Texas. About the Book: An insider's look into Democrats' scorched-earth strategy to upend the judicial system by targeting President Donald Trump, his allies, and supporters. Those suffering from TDS—Trump derangement syndrome—are motivated to transform the federal judiciary into a political battleground in order to lock him up and keep him out of the White House. Democrats' attempt failed when Trump won the 2024 election, but Lawless Lawfare cautions us on how to not let history repeat itself in order to preserve the equal application of justice and keep politics out of the courtroom. Lawless Lawfare provides readers with a play-by-play analysis of the court cases that plagued Donald Trump as he campaigned for a second administration, written by reporter and attorney Alex Swoyer who has had access to the courtroom, oral arguments, high profile lawyers, and thousands of court filings during the former president's legal battles up and down the East Coast. Lawless Lawfare lays out why each case was set up to fail because it relied on politics instead of the law, running afoul of Trump and voters' constitutional rights. The result is an increasing division among the electorate, as well as shock across media platforms when verdicts against Trump get overturned on appeal and prosecutions plummet. "Today, our fellow-Americans face significant challenges, including the serious threat of lawfare which is not only eroding trust in the nation's courts, this modern-day assault on the democratic process is weakening the rule of law and the future of our Republic." — Natasha Srdoc On the topic Lawfare, one of America's greatest threats from within: "While I am pleased each time I see one of President Trump's cases dismissed, I can't help but reflect on the dark stain these last few years have left on our nation's reputation and integrity. The lawfare, lies, deception, and collusion have caused irreparable damage to many of our institutions. It's perhaps the greatest act of desperation in the history of American politics, yet it was soundly rejected by We the People. I pray the American people will remember this when the left inevitably tries it again and that we ALWAYS choose liberty over tyranny." — Dr. Ben Carson, chairman, American Cornerstone Institute and former cabinet secretary in President Trump's first administration. "Democrats faced a critical choice last year: Try to win an election by confronting the real problem of a weak and old president presiding over unpopular far-left policies, or try to rig an outcome by embracing a lawfare stratagem. They chose the latter." — Kimberly Strassel, The Wall Street Journal americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @ASwoyer @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Americas Political DivideIn this episode of the Lean to Live Podcast, Bob Gatty engages with Dr. Craig Wiener, a seasoned psychologist from Worcester, Massachusetts, to explore Americas political and social divide in the United States as political polarization seems to be worsening nearly every day.With over 40 years in private practice and a wealth of experience in teaching and clinical direction, Dr. Wiener breaks down the roots of these divisions, drawing parallels between family dynamics and societal conflicts as he explores the psychological roots of politics and the conservative vs. liberal debate.The discussion delves into themes from Dr. Wiener's book 'Backyard Politics,' examining capitalism, racism, sexism, and child rearing through the lens of political perspectives labeled as 'protectors' and 'promoters' and explores the issue of family dynamics in politics. His book is available here: https://amzn.to/4dKTN5y.The conversation also tackles the controversial impact of former President Trump on political discourse and the ramifications of his policy decisions on family budgets and social cohesion.

I cannot recommend a piece of reading enough in the Listener, and reproduced elsewhere, on a longitudinal study that now spans 35 years and 12 elections. It's gripping. A couple thousand people each election are given dozens of questions. Its weakness is some of the questions are vague enough to throw up responses around things like health care and public services. We like them and we want more, no surprises there. But how much more? What if the money is wasted? We don't get to know that stuff. The David Lange Government of 1984 blew it big time, went way too far and upset too many people. I remember it well. We love strong leaders. We are more socially conservative than you might think. The electoral system doesn't represent what we actually want, or like. We like the death penalty, yet we've never had it. There are two highlights for me: Labour's moves around Māori and introducing Treaty of Waitangi principles into some legislation. The majority of us, decades ago, didn't want it. We don't have the 2023 results yet, but I bet you nothing has changed. Which I would have thought would lead you to ask, why hasn't it been fixed? It's a bad idea that's been allowed to fester and cause ongoing angst and upset for decades. Secondly, there are signs of increasing dissatisfaction, concern and unhappiness. The authors say it's not like the 90's. I remember the 90's. It was Ruth Richardson and Jenny Shipley. It was welfare reform, the mother of all Budgets, the burning of effigies on Parliament grounds. You can see the edginess these days with similar discourse and protest. But it's suggested political polarisation has declined over the past decade. Really? Do you believe that? I don't. I don't think we have ever been more divided and never been more stark in our views of the country and the world. Social media, distrust, fake news, polarising views and stands – I have no idea how they've concluded this. Read it and see if you disagree. But on most stuff, we haven't changed. The times change, the circumstances change but, broadly, we don't. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fox News anchor Julie Banderas joins Professor Nick Giordano to discuss her new children's book, A Monumental Mistake. This timely story that teaches kids the importance of respecting history, traditions, and each other in an increasingly divided America. But this episode doesn't stop there. Julie and Nick expose the media's complicity in the conspiracy to cover up former President Biden's cognitive decline, as Democrat insiders and legacy journalists rush to publish self-serving books to enrich themselves. This is a powerful conversation about the cultural rot in our society, the collapse of trust in the press, and what it will take to restore honesty and accountability in American life. Episode Highlights: Julie Banderas explains how A Monumental Mistake teaches kids to respect history and warns of the dangers of erasing America's past. A breakdown of how Democrat insiders and media elites conspired to cover up Biden's decline, and why they're scrambling to rewrite the narrative. Why trust in journalism has collapsed, and how the media's self-inflicted wounds have exposed a deeper crisis in America.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on the political divide in Silicon Valley.

In this episode I speak with Sam Mefford who volunteered to participate in my first interview ever with a Trump supporter (I'm not one:) Sam was raised in California, but now lives in Utah and I actually think that comes across in the thoughtful and holistic way he contemplates everything.  I wanted to do an episode with him to demonstrate that some of the people who voted for President Trump are actually good people who want what is best for our country, contrary to what many Democrats believe.In our conversation we use a facebook thread, where he shared his points of view  about many topics, as the foundation of our interview. We discussed the divisiveness in our country, whether or not respecting our president is mandatory, the dismantling of so many programs, gay rights, transgender, the importance of not letting politics ruin personal relationships, and the need to regulate our nervous systems so we can be more thoughtful and responsive instead of triggered and reactive. I'm really proud of myself for doing this interview. I have come a long way in learning how to  regulate my nervous system around politics and being able to have conversations with people who may not share the same beliefs as my own. If you are struggling with being triggered by politics and feeling pretty crappy about the people who voted for Trump, I think this episode may bring you comfort and reassurance if you are open to it. If you are a Trump supporter and believe you are a good person, I encourage you to listen to this episode so you can have empathy and understanding about the legitimate fears many Democrats have about what is happening in Washington.   Click on the platform of your choice to listen to the latest podcast episode with Sam, follow the podcast, and write a review so we can spread the news and reach more people!  Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-community-collaboration-in-sb-podcast/id1548758744Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4RWxW7Ni1EHTAywriOwY9z?si=d9c181834529414dGoogle Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/search/The%20Brain%20BS%20PodcastAmazon Music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/09208f98-6c21-4fea-abbf-14a495cabd09/the-brain-bs-podcast-learning-to-live-consciouslyI Heart Radiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-brain-bs-podcast-learn-76710324/Pandorahttps://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-brain-bs-podcast-learning-to-live-consciously/PC:60845Listen, I know it's hard when our party doesn't win and there is a whole different agenda being supported than the one we thought was best for our country.We can keep fighting for our beliefs and be proactive about being seen and heard, but don't burn bridges and  throw away what were once loving relationships over it.If you want come on the podcast to discuss this topic or connect to get creative about a collaboration, click on the link below.https://www.thebrainbs.com/

Former Republican U.S. congressman Bob Inglis offers a conservative perspective on climate solutions in discussion with Penn climatologist Michael Mann. --- Politically conservative and concerned about climate change? In this special episode of the Energy Policy Now podcast, Penn climatologist Michael Mann talks with Bob Inglis, former Republican Congressman from South Carolina and current executive director of RepublicEN.org, about bridging the partisan climate divide. In a wide-ranging conversation recorded live during Energy Week at Penn 2025 at the University of Pennsylvania, Mann and Inglis discuss a conservative view on climate change, how conservative messaging on climate has evolved over time, and how common solutions might be found in an era of partisan climate divide. Inglis also offers his view on carbon pricing and strategies to reign in carbon emissions in the U.S. The conversation is moderated by Sanya Carley, faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Bob Inglis is a former U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 4th congressional district. He is the executive director of RepublicanEn.org at George Mason University. Michael Mann is director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Important note on the conversation: Due to a technical problem, the first two minutes of Bob Inglis’ conversation are difficult to hear (from 5:40 to 7:40). We’ve transcribed those two minutes in the show notes, below, to make it easier to follow along. A full transcript of this and all Energy Policy Now podcasts is available on the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy website. Bob Inglis (5:40): Yeah, so for my first six years in Congress I said that climate change is nonsense. All I knew was that Al Gore was for it. And as much as I represented Greenville-Spartanburg South Carolina, that was the end of the inquiry. Okay, pretty ignorant. But that’s the way it was my first six years. Out of Congress six years, as you just heard, doing commercial real estate law again and then, had the opportunity to run for the same seat again before, our son had just turned 18, so he was voting for the first time, and he came to me and he said, dad, I’ll vote for you. But you’re going to clean up your act on the environment. His four sisters agreed, his mother agreed. New constituency, you know. So you got to respond to those people who can change the locks on the doors to your house, you know. So, very important to respond to these people. And so that was step one of a three step metamorphosis. Step two was going to Antarctica with the [House of Representatives] Science Committee and seeing the evidence in the iceberg drillings. Step three was another Science Committee trip and, um, really a spiritual awakening which seems improbable, right, on a godless Science Committee trip, because we all know that all scientists are godless. Right? Well, apparently not. Because this Aussie climate scientist was showing me the glories of the Great Barrier Reef. I could see he was worshipping God in what he was showing me. You know, St. Francis of Assisi supposedly said “preach the gospel at all times. If necessary use words.” So Scott Heron, this Aussie climate scientist who’s now become a very dear friend was doing that. I could see it in his eyes, it was written all over his face. It was in his excitement about what he was showing me. He was clearly worshipping God. So I knew we shared a world view. Forty words were spoken.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim today.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the growing fear and frustration among the left, highlighting violent actions like firebombing Tesla dealerships. He argues that the political divide is not about red versus blue but Americans versus the establishment. Brett then discusses the shifting dynamics in politics, where figures like President Trump and Vice-President Vance are disrupting the status quo. We're joined by HUD Secretary Scott Turner from Washington, D.C., to talk about the ongoing recovery efforts in Western North Carolina following recent devastation. Secretary Turner was in Asheville as part of a listening tour, meeting with local families, faith leaders, and non-profits to assess the situation and offer support. He emphasizes the importance of "restoration," not just returning things to the way they were, but improving them and revitalizing communities. Later, we're joined by Gordon G. Chang, an American lawyer and political commentator, to talk about the growing challenges posed by China, including its economic struggles and potential actions in East Asia, particularly regarding Taiwan.

On May 27, 2019, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, best-selling author (and Kara's friend) Tony Horwitz was on book tour for his latest work, Spying on the South: An Odyssey Across the American Divide, when he died suddenly. He left behind two sons and his wife, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Geraldine Brooks, whose books include March and Horse.  Dealing with Tony's death, taking time to grieve his passing and remembering their life together are at the center of Brooks' latest memoir, Memorial Days. Brooks and Kara reminisce about Tony's life, reflect on the challenge of grieving in a culture that is “averse to sad,” and ponder how Tony would have continued his “barstool democracy”  — an attempt to span the political divide already shaking the nation — under Trump 2.0. They also discuss her latest project, a chapter in Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service, edited by acclaimed author Michael Lewis, which will be released on March 18th.  This interview was recorded live at Sixth & I, a center for arts, entertainment, ideas, and Jewish life in Washington, D.C., and hosted in partnership with Politics and Prose Bookstore, Questions?

On a Sunday in mid-July, Pastor Chris Morgan welcomed worshipers to Christ United Methodist Church in suburban Pittsburgh with a simple message.That Sunday was particularly difficult.A day earlier, a man had nearly assassinated then-candidate Donald Trump forty miles north in Butler. Morgan asked people to pray for Trump and those killed and injured in the shooting, and asked the congregation to pray for the family of the shooter.Morgan had already planned a sermon series, called Do Unto Others, to deal with the nation's — and his congregation's — political divisions ahead of Election Day. NPR's Frank Langfitt went to Christ Church the weekend before Election Day – and the weekend after – to see if the efforts there made a difference. As Americans prepare to come together at Thanksgiving, how do we bridge this country's political divide? And can we?
