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.

This week Stephanie and Michael welcome the renowned sociologist, Arlie Hochschild. They have a rich conversation exploring the stories we tell about ourselves and others that work to sever communities, communities which in fact hold much in common. Having written two books on America's move towards the right, Arlie has real clarity about the ways in which our stories stop us from engaging respectfully with those whom we disagree with, breeding shame, eroding understanding and shutting down opportunities for connection. There is a need therefore for story revision, and this comes first from recognizing the humanity of everyone, no matter what their political views. Identifying those core values that connect us all as human beings reveals moments of overlap even among groups who see themselves as wholly at odds. This ‘cross-over' becomes the basis for building what Arlie calls “empathy bridges.” We must not, she insists, “confuse empathy with weakness” – indeed, it is that quality which has characterized some of the world's greatest leaders and which may be the path out of polarization today.

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.

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.

The Political Divide, Sports Fandom, and the Lost Freedom of BMX GangsAlright, listen up. The political divide in this country? It's not just some disagreement over policies anymore. It's like sports fandom, but way more intense. You ever walk into a bar full of Green Bay Packers fans wearing a Chicago Bears jersey? That's what it feels like trying to have a political discussion now—except instead of just busting your chops, people are ready to end friendships over it. Nobody debates ideas anymore, they just dig in and defend their side like it's their home team in the Super Bowl.But dude, it wasn't always like this. Remember the ‘80s? If you were a kid back then, you weren't stuck in some algorithm-driven outrage cycle—you were out there tearing up the neighborhood on a knock-off BMX, flying over curbs, skidding out in gravel, and feeling like an absolute king. We had bike gangs, man. Not the scary kind—just a bunch of kids rolling deep, pushing each other to go faster, jump higher, be crazier. No tracking apps, no social media, no parents helicoptering over us. Just freedom.And now? Kids today are locked in a digital prison, staring at screens, absorbing whatever some deep-state algorithm decides they should see. And speaking of shadowy organizations—how about Hydra, huh? Yeah, the bad guys from the Avengers movies. "Cut off one head, two more take its place." That's the intelligence agencies today, man. Always watching, always pulling strings. It's not even a conspiracy at this point—it's just reality.And here's where it gets even weirder—what the hell is going on with the Mandela Effect? You ever hear about Ed McMahon handing out giant Publisher's Clearing House checks? You remember it, right? Guess what—apparently, that never happened. He worked for American Family Publishers. But dude, millions of people swear they remember it differently. What if—and just hear me out—we're slipping between alternate realities without even realizing it? What if we're actually living in a multiverse and every once in a while, we just... shift?So here we are—divided like rival sports fans, stripped of that wild ‘80s freedom, living under the eye of a real-life Hydra, and questioning the very fabric of our reality. The question is—how do we break out? Maybe it starts with something simple. Maybe we ditch the screens, grab some bikes, and form a new gang—just a bunch of grown-ass adults ripping through the streets, looking for the truth. Before the next shift happens and everything we thought we knew gets rewritten again.

In the wake of a transformative election, many Americans find themselves grappling with fear, uncertainty, and a deep sense of division. But what if we could view this moment through a wider lens - one that sees beyond the immediate drama to recognize a greater pattern of evolution? In this timely episode of Musings from the Mount, Michael Lindfield and Joseph Carenza explore America's current political landscape from the perspective of ancient wisdom. Drawing parallels between Greek tragedy, personal transformation, and national evolution, they offer a unique framework for understanding our collective journey toward "a more perfect union." Just as each of us must integrate different aspects of ourselves to achieve personal growth, perhaps our nation's political tensions represent a necessary stage in our collective evolution. Discover why this moment might be less about winners and losers, and more about the grace of tough lessons that must be faced and learned together.

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?

This week, we're unpacking the raw emotions and anxieties that followed the recent election. We explore the stark reality of a country deeply divided, not just politically, but also in terms of our visions for the future. This election wasn't just about who won. It was about a country that, frankly, feels more like it's been severed in half than unified. It's a deep, messy reality and we question the easy labels and simplistic narratives that often dominate the political conversation.We explore the real, human stories behind the red and the blue and ask some tough questions about how to move forward with a more nuanced understanding of our political landscape.Lastly, we talk about the pressures of a society driven by consumption, and how it can create a disconnect between those who have “too much” and those who don't, which leaves many feeling left behind, overwhelmed, and unheard. If you're ready for a conversation that goes beyond the surface, tap in for an honest, critical look at the state of our nation and how we can find a way to make meaningful progress together.  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

In this episode, host Roifield Brown leads a riveting discussion on America's political landscape after a historic and divisive election. Joined by political activist Zee Cohen Sanchez, tech entrepreneur Mike Donoghue, and author Jarett Kobek, the group dissects the surprising return of Donald Trump to the presidency and the ramifications for the Democratic Party, American democracy, and global stability. The analysis doesn't just linger on Trump's victory; it explores America's ideological divides, the fading influence of character in politics, and how populism has now displaced traditional party structures.The discussion shifts focus to the Democratic Party's future, asking if it's time for a bold recalibration to reconnect with working-class America or to address the stark gender, race, and education-based divides in voting trends. While some argue for a more economically inclusive platform that speaks directly to disenfranchised voters, others contend that the Democratic Party's alignment with elite technocrats has distanced it from grassroots support. Finally, the panel unpacks Trump's alignment with global authoritarian figures and its possible threats to NATO, European security, and the already fragile international order. While some panelists remain cautiously optimistic, hoping for a tempered approach from Trump, others warn of a deeply uncertain period ahead. This episode serves as a wake-up call for anyone seeking to understand the shifting tectonic plates of American politics—and what lies ahead.Notable Quotes:1. Roifield Brown: “The middle ground in American politics is gone. We are witnessing a tectonic shift.”2. Zee Cohen Sanchez: “This wasn't a red wave; it was a red bloodbath. The Democratic Party has lost touch with working-class America.”3. Mike Donoghue: “The irony is, Trump won by portraying himself as the populist, but he's anything but.”4. Jarett Kobek: “Trump's genius isn't in governance—it's in being a master marketer, aligning himself with those who feel ignored.”5. Roifield Brown: “This isn't about America alone. This epoch shift threatens the entire world order.”Further Reading:- [The Atlantic on Populism and Democracy](https://www.theatlantic.com/)- [New York Times Analysis of Voter Demographics](https://www.nytimes.com/)- [Pew Research on the Political Divide](https://www.pewresearch.org/)- [Brookings: Future of NATO in Trump's America](https://www.brookings.edu/).
