Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Dominik Tarczyński about why Poland rejected Germany's approach to mass migration and refused to accept illegal immigrants; how Poland's history of occupation, World War II, and communism shaped its approach to national sovereignty and border security; why Tarczyński argues Poland chose safety over cheap labor and faster economic growth; Poland's response after a soldier was killed at the Belarus border and why Polish forces were authorized to use live ammunition against violent border crossings; his firsthand experience growing up under communism and his plans to teach about communism at Florida International University; why he compares modern American socialists like Bernie Sanders and AOC to the communist ideology he experienced; his warnings about open borders, policing, the military, and European immigration policies; his family's history fighting communism, including his grandfather's fight against the Soviet-backed communist regime and his father's role in founding Solidarity in his hometown; why the treatment of his mother inspired Tarczyński to enter politics; why he sees an alliance between the radical left and jihadists; his warning to young Americans about socialism, food shortages, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea; and much more.

Matthieu Pageau, author of The Language of Creation, joins Robert Breedlove to explore the question "What is Money?" from a symbolic and biblical perspective. Using Pageau's framework of form, formlessness, and the in-between, they ask whether money is a tool meant to serve a higher purpose or a trap that becomes idolatry.They cover the story of Joseph, commodity money versus credit money, fiat as a broken promise, the biblical link between interest and snake bite, whether internet ID mandates could threaten Bitcoin, CBDCs and Mark of the Beast, and why the love of money is the root of all evil.//GUEST//The Language of Creation: https://amzn.to/3LVzkgjSubstack: https://substack.com/@matthieupageauX: https://x.com/PageauMatthieu// SPONSORS //Blockware Solutions: https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/breedloveMind Lab Pro: https://mindlabpro.com/products/mind-lab-pro/breedlove// PRODUCTS I ENDORSE //Protect your mobile phone from SIM swap attacks: https://www.efani.com/breedloveLineage Provisions (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://lineageprovisions.com/?ref=breedlove_22// UNLOCK THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD'S BEST NON-FICTION BOOKS //https://course.breedlove.io/// JOIN THE COMMUNITY //Telegram: https://t.me/TheWiMCommunity// TIMESTAMPS //0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:06 - How the Conversation Came About 0:04:57 - Money and the Story of Joseph 0:06:03 - Form (Adam), Formlessness (the Snake), In-Between (Eve) 0:09:04 - Money as Formlessness That Should Serve Form 0:12:30 - Defending Your Own Form, Culture and Dissolution 0:14:16 - "Humans Are a Cancer on the Planet" as Contradiction 0:16:30 - Snake Criticism vs. Eve's Criticism 0:19:14 - The State and The Snake 0:22:11 - Politicians and Non-Consensual Exchange 0:24:05 - Sponsor: Blockware Solutions 0:25:32 - Formlessness as Novelty, Risk and Reward 0:28:40 - Joseph as Prepper, Grain as a Natural Currency 0:31:53 - Is Credit the Most Fundamental Money 0:33:19 - Coinage for Foreigners, Credit for the Familiar 0:34:52 - The Story of Tamar and Paying with Credit 0:35:51 - Confusing Commodity Money with Credit Money 0:37:55 - Magic, the Snake, and Interest as Snake Bite 0:40:24 - Why Someone's Face Should Be on the Coin and "In God We Trust" 0:44:57 - Legal Tender, Shifting Responsibility, Use by Force 0:49:03 - Credit and Charity Do Not Scale, the Trust Problem 0:53:52 - Sponsor: Mind Lab Pro 0:55:00 - Money as the Trust-Minimized Asset and Manipulating Gold 0:59:30 - Why Can't Someone Just Copy-Paste Bitcoin 1:12:04 - Bitcoin and Gold as Commodity Money 1:14:57 - Credit, Reputation, CBDCs, and the Mark of the Beast 1:22:43 - The Snake, Privacy, Corruption 1:32:29 - Selective Enforcement of the Law and Insider Trading 1:35:37 - CBDCs, Surveillance, and the Smartphone 1:36:42 - Centralized Internet as Bitcoin's Weak Point 1:43:34 - Technology vs. Politics 1:48:44 - Social Media Toxicity and Addiction 1:52:54 - Render unto Caesar as Tribute to a Foreign Power 1:54:44 - "The Love of Money" as the Root of All Evil 2:00:27 - Where to Find Matthieu Pageau on Substack 2:01:30 - Unlock the Wisdom of the Best Non-Fiction Books// PODCAST //Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsERSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI// SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL //Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedloveVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Breedlove-2// SOCIAL //Breedlove X: https://x.com/Breedlove22WiM?

Story of the Week (DR):Anthropic, OpenAI CEOs call for slowdown in AI developmentAnthropic CEO calls to slow the race toward AI ‘superintelligence,' and grants outside evaluators permanent access . Here's what Amodei is suggesting:Each US AI company grants ongoing access to embedded third-party evaluators to check compliance with safety commitments, report incidents, ensure new AI models are not misaligned.All companies in democratic countries building frontier AI models to establish common safety standards as well as limits on the rate of unchecked AI progress.The world's democratic AI powers would coordinate with autocracies – notably China – to control the race. Amodei suggested a baby step could be a narrow agreement prohibiting obviously dangerous uses of AI, such as for the production of biological weapons.PROAltman Matches Anthropic's AI Auditor Pledge While Musk Offers Three-Word Slowdown Backing: 'Dario is right.' Palantir's Alex Karp is calling for AI lab nationalization and criminal liability: Alex Karp said AI builders should face civil and criminal liability for "not being responsible" as the industry debate over AI safety intensifiesMicrosoft AI CEO Agrees: AI Is Getting Dangerous and Needs to Be ControlledAI 'kill switch' may need to be mandatory, Anthropic co-founder [Jack Clark] tells BBCBernie Sanders' AI Bill Threatens 20 Years in Prison for Artificial Superintelligence DevelopersThe legislation would also allow companies to be shut down and create a federal agency to police frontier AI systems.The Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would outlaw AI systems built to exceed human intelligence.For context, the bill was introduced the same week OpenAI rolled out its GPT-6 Astra model, described by the company as a 'generational leap'. Sanders' office also pointed to an incident from July. It said more than 1,000 OpenAI agents accessed the internet independently, exchanged messages with each other, and got round their own safety restrictions. That lapse, the office said, took engineers nearly two weeks to notice.The bill defines 'superintelligence' to include systems that can match or beat human cognitive performance. It also covers systems that resist shutdown commands, carry out unauthorised cyberattacks, or attempt to overthrow a government.Individual engineers, researchers or executives who breach the ban could face up to 20 years in federal prison. Sanders' office says that term is broadly comparable to penalties for illegally building a nuclear weapon.CONGang of 3: Zuckerberg, Musk, and Huang Call Trump to Oppose AI RegulationMark Zuckerberg says AI doesn't need an industry-wide slowdown because market forces and competition will push companies to make their models safeMark Zuckerberg says AI labs can slow down on their own when safety demands itOpenAI's CFO [Sarah Friar] says the company will pace AI development if safety requires it HYPOCRITE?Greg Brockman says OpenAI has already slowed cutting-edge AI developments over safety concerns HYPOCRITE?Jamie Dimon on AI oversight: 'It should be light touch'Trump downplays warnings of AI risks, citing rivalry with ChinaTrump says a strong, smart president is the only "guardrail" AI needsTrump responds to rising AI safety concerns, insists tech will be 'more good than bad'Trump's 'Whoever Wins AI Wins' Line Draws Scrutiny as He Downplays AI Extinction Warnings From ExpertsTrump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mid-interview to rip AI doomerism: 'The robots will not be taking over'OpenAI boss [Sam Altman] says world 'right to be afraid' but should trust AI firms HYPOCRITE?Sam Altman says some AI accidents are 'unavoidable'Really? Palantir cofounder on AI's threat: 'We're on top of it'In an X post on Saturday, Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale brushed aside the worry that advanced AI systems could cause mass human extinction: "The world is going to be alright, guys. Leaders have big responsibilities and challenges ahead, but it doesn't help to scare everyone. We are on top of it."MEANWHILETech CEOs used to fear their boards.

Considers New Financing at a $1.5 Trillion ValuationFINALLYAI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBCHOW ABOUT EVERYBODY QUITS?Trump EPA Repeals Biden-Era Rules Limiting GHG Emissions from Power Plants MM The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on Monday the repeal of a series of Biden-era rules aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants, one of the main sources of the U.S.' carbon footprint.In addition to finalizing the repeal of the rules, the EPA also announced a proposal to rescind the 2015 Greenhouse Gas Findings for Fossil Fuel-Fired Power Plants, effectively making it much more difficult for the agency to reinstitute GHG limiting rules for the fossil fuel-fired power generation sector under future administrations.Trump's ‘largest deregulatory action ever' in the power sector will keep old coal plants online longer to fuel the AI boomHAPPY CEOs:Fossil-Fuel Power Generators & UtilitiesJim Burke (Vistra Corp) & Robert Gaudette (NRG Energy): Large merchant power producers with extensive natural gas and coal fleets that avoid capital-intensive carbon capture retrofits or premature unit closures.Harry Sideris (Duke Energy), Christopher Womack (Southern Company) & Bill Fehrman (American Electric Power): Regulated utilities operating major coal and gas generation networks across the Midwest and Southeast, relieving pressure to retire units ahead of schedule.Mark Hewett (Berkshire Hathaway Energy) & Mike Skaggs (Tennessee Valley Authority): Power providers with heavy baseload fossil capacity that avoid major compliance expenditures.Coal Producers & Mining OperationsJames Grech (Peabody Energy): The nation's largest coal miner, benefiting directly from extended power plant lifespans and higher domestic thermal coal demand.Grech has maintained a vocal public relationship with Trump, presenting him with a bronze award honoring him as the "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal."Joe Craft III (Alliance Resource Partners) & Paul Lang (Arch Resources): Key thermal coal suppliers to Midwestern and Eastern power plants that no longer face strict 2030s retirement timelines.Craft donated over $1 million to Trump's 2017 Inaugural Committee and millions more to pro-Trump Super PACs.Trump subsequently appointed Craft's wife, Kelly Craft, to high-level diplomatic posts as U.S. Ambassador to Canada and later U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.Natural Gas Producers & Midstream InfrastructureToby Rice (EQT Corporation) & Tom Jorden (Coterra Energy): Top domestic natural gas producers positioned to supply fuel for unconstrained new gas-fired turbine generation.Chad Zamarin (The Williams Companies) & Kimberly Dang (Kinder Morgan): Midstream pipeline giants transporting natural gas to power plants, benefiting from sustained pipeline throughput and expanded gas generation hookups.EPA immediately sued over plans to repeal climate rules for power plantsPublic health groups warn EPA rule will cost Americans billions in health bills.The repeal risks leaving the country's single largest source of industrial climate pollution unchecked.SEC proxy rule changes could end 92 years of shareholder protections MMThe Securities and Exchange Commission has put forward one of the most far-reaching corporate governance proposals in decades, moving to scrap the federal rule that has forced public companies to include shareholder proposals in their proxy materials since 1934.The SEC proxy rule changes would rescind Rule 14a-8 entirely and hand authority over shareholder proposals back to state law and individual company charters, according to the agency's announcement.A companion proposal would amend Rule 14a-4(c) to give companies more flexibility and shareholders more control over discretionary proxy voting.The SEC's broader push to update its rules for current market practice and technology also targets several older paperwork requirements that the agency views as outdated.Eliminate the requirement that companies deliver an annual report to security holders.Eliminate the delivery deadline when documents are incorporated by reference into a proxy statement.Eliminate the requirement and the ability to submit Notices of Exempt Solicitation.Shorten the minimum broker search period from 20 business days to five business days.Starbucks Makes Major DEI U-Turn, Agrees to End Race and Sex-Based Hiring Preferences NationwideStarbucks is ending race- and sex-based hiring goals and preferences across its US operations under a nationwide settlement with Florida, agreeing to pay $1 million and submit to four years of annual compliance reviews.Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier's office said the agreement applies to Starbucks operations nationwide, rather than only its stores in Florida.Under the settlement, Starbucks agreed to comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act, including its restrictions on race- and sex-based goals, quotas, and preferences in hiring, promotions, pay, executive compensation, mentorship programmes, supplier selection, and board composition.Starbucks also agreed not to participate in organisations that require an increase in the racial diversity of its board of directors. Its chief legal officer must submit annual certifications confirming continued compliance for four years. The company will pay $1 million to the Florida Department of Legal Affairs to reimburse the state for time, expenses, and costs associated with the case.Accenture to Pay $25 Million to Settle Latest U.S. DOJ Anti-DEI CaseWarren Buffett is stepping down as Berkshire Hathaway's chairmanBuffett, 96, becomes chairman emeritus effective immediately while his son Howard assumes the role under a long-standing succession planWho Is Howie Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway's New Chairman?

Ellen Coyne and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:The unprovoked attack on Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae this week highlighted how vulnerable public representatives can be. But when did criticism of Irish politicians turn into abuse and physical violence? Is it the long tail of the financial crash or simply a shift from online discourse to something far more sinister? Donald Trump's thoughts on a united Ireland grabbed the headlines during his visit last week, but the image of cheering golf fans at the Irish Open at his Doonbeg resort as he announced he was lifting tariffs on Irish whiskey, that he himself imposed, feels uncomfortable for a variety of reasons.European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen pitched the idea of Canada as an “associate member” of the EU during her annual State of the Union address on Wednesday – an idea roundly embraced by Canada PM Mark Carney who was in attendance.The Sinn Féin Bill to remove the three-day abortion wait looks like it will pass despite dissenting voices in Government.And Aontú and Independent Ireland are open to discussing a vote transfer pact.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

How do we teach people about the importance of personal freedom? Politicians give stump speeches; think tanks write white papers, but do any of these methods really reach people? Matt Kibbe sits down with Daniel O'Connell, who goes by the stage name Free, to discuss using storytelling, pop culture, and even game shows to promote libertarian ideas. Free is the host of "Are You Smarter Than a Politician?" This game pushes guests to think about civics, ethics, and political science in a way that is all too uncommon among the political class or in schools and universities.

Prophets and Politicians admin Wed, 09/16/2026 - 12:00am There is a big difference between prophets and politicians. Politicians act in a way to please their constituents. Prophets act in a way to please God. In the Bible, prophets often stood alone. They spoke God's truth and risked losing their lives for it.

If you have heard of Munchausen Syndrome before, it's far more likely you've seen it represented in popular culture than in real life. Like a lot of psychological syndromes, it's used as a dramatic device in many films and series, like Sharp Objects or The Politician to name just a couple.  The most recent example is The Act, which was created by Nick Antosca and Michelle Dean, and first appeared on Hulu in 2019. The series was inspired by a real-life case in the United States, and tells the story of a mother who convinces her daughter and the world that she suffers from leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and other disorders. Why would anyone do something like that? Where does the Munchausen part come from? Why is this syndrome so prevalent in pop culture? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

This week, we sit down with our good friend Robert Cunningham—pastor, writer, speaker, and founder of Christ for Kentucky. We kick things off with a crucial parenting debate: can YouTube piano tutorials replace traditional music lessons? Then, Robert gets honest about making a massive career pivot away from a comfortable pastorship with four kids and zero financial safety net to launch his own ministry. We also dig into his incredible work erasing $250 million in medical debt for Kentucky families, why future generations might judge our smartphone habits like lead paint, and how we can approach complex cultural debates around faith and identity with disarming humility. It's a funny, honest, and thought-provoking conversation on raising boys, trusting God, and navigating major life transitions. Grab your favorite cup of coffee and join us in Dadville!

A string of recent warnings from AI industry insiders, including a former Anthropic employee who puts the odds of human extinction at over 10 percent in the next 10 years.Politicians on both sides of the aisle are feeling pressure to do something. And tomorrow we're going to see a very rare spectacle: Senator Bernie Sanders, lion of the progressive movement, sharing a stage with Steve Bannon, the MAGA bomb-thrower, at what they're calling a "Pro-Human Assembly." You don't see that kind of bipartisanship very often in DC these days.But will it be enough? Will the literal possible end of humanity spur Congress to do something? Our guest host, Greg Walters, talks with Burgess Everett, Semafor's congressional bureau chief, about whether lawmakers plan to do anything.Show Notes: Check out Burgess's work – semafor.com/author/burgess-everett Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

Why do so many citizens continue to support politicians who undermine democracy? And why have nationalist appeals become such a powerful tool for democratic backsliding? In this episode of the People, Power, Politics podcast, Nic Cheeseman talks to Filip Milačić about his new book, Abandoning Democracy for the Nation (Cambridge UP, 2026). Drawing on evidence from Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Israel and Turkey, Milačić argues that democratic erosion is often driven not simply by populism or polarization, but by political leaders convincing citizens that the nation itself is under threat. The discussion explores why democratically minded voters sometimes accept attacks on democratic institutions, whether this argument travels beyond the cases in the book, and what lessons it offers for those seeking to defend democracy.Transcript hereGuest:Filip Milačić is a Senior Researcher for Democracy and Society at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung's Democracy of the Future officein Vienna, visiting professor at the Central European University and a Research Affiliate at CEU's Democracy Institute. His research focuses on nationalism, democratic backsliding and resistance, political identity and party politics, with a particular emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. He is the author of Abandoning Democracy for the Nation, a new book exploring the relationship between nationalism and democratic erosion. Through his academic research and policy work, Milačić examines the forces shaping the future of democracy and the challenges facing democratic societies today.Presenter:Dr Nic Cheeseman is the Professor of Democracy and International Development at the University of Birmingham and Founding Director of CEDAR.The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are being heavily criticized after they were seen on television smiling and laughing as the names of victims were being read at Ground Zero. Even worse, the shot just before them was of a young man sobbing at the memorial. Mamdani was already facing sharp criticism from 9/11 victims for attending the ceremony and had spent the weeks leading up to the event trying to mend fences with firefighters and first responders. There was one unlikely defender of Mamdani and AOC, an ex-aide to New York City’s former mayor Rudy Giuliani, who claims it was just a friendly greeting between the two.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Twenty-five years on, the story of 9/11 is being hijacked again — by politicians running for cover, by a president inventing himself into the rubble, and by an algorithm that feeds our kids conspiracy theories instead of history. FDNY firefighter and first-responder advocate Rob Serra returns to Independent Americans for the conversation we've had every year since this show started, and this one hits different. Newly released documents confirm what Rob and every first responder already knew: the air was never safe, hundreds of thousands of civilians were lied to, and Stuyvesant students were sent back to eat lunch in a room that had been a morgue three days earlier. Paul and Rob talk about the weight of being the person in the locker room, at the dentist, at the birthday party who has to explain what really happened — and the fact that there is still no formal curriculum to teach 9/11 in New York schools or anywhere else. They get into Mamdani, Giuliani, Bloomberg's treatment of Detective James Zadroga, the firefighters purged under zero tolerance while burying fifty friends, Trump's newest big lie, the ongoing fight for the Zadroga Act, and why the Ray Pfeifer Foundation is still picking up the tab for care the program should already cover. It ends, as it must, with something good — the lights, the kids, the Yankees, a Friday football pick, and the reminder that leaders like Rob are still standing twenty-five years later.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a growing bipartisan revolt against the AI Revolution, with Senator Bernie Sanders and Governor Ron DeSantis both sounding alarms as OpenAI admits its rogue AI agents may have hacked far more websites than first disclosed. Bryan covers five fresh cases of Chinese espionage, including a lenient sentence for a Google engineer convicted of stealing AI trade secrets, a suspected Chinese spy caught photographing US and Canadian airports, and a shocking report alleging ties between former Cabinet Secretary Elaine Chao and Chinese Communist Party-linked organizations. He also breaks down an American man sentenced to prison for serving as a Chinese "principal agent" while seeking a job in the Trump administration. Plus, Bryan covers new research showing $100 billion worth of rare earth minerals sitting in America's coal ash waste, fresh data showing the foreign-born US population has dropped nearly 3 million since Trump took office, an expanding anti-drone weapon called the Bullfrog, and a new executive order clearing the way for ranchers to kill wolves preying on cattle.

Send us Fan MailDr. Travis Yates, an expert on police leadership and training and a retired police major, joined Liz Collin on her podcast. Dr. Yates, who first called out the lack of leadership in Minneapolis back in 2019 — and recently exposed the long list of complaints against former Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara — spoke about even more leadership failures.These include how several police officers have been prosecuted without a grand jury indictment —and the fact that there are now 55% fewer Minneapolis police officers since the George Floyd riots.However, Dr. Yates also pointed out how so-called political leaders maintain power despite all the failures in public safety."It is amazing what they're able to accomplish and the power they're able to amass by literally lying to the public each and every day,” said Dr. Yates.Support the show

Politicians always want to “improve” our economy.But again and again, they make things worse. “The more we move away from free markets, the worse things become” says economist Don Boudreaux, author of “The Triumph of Economic Freedom."Boudreaux explains how government intervention made the Great Depression last longer, caused the Great Recession, and more.He also debunks myths like the "growing gap" between rich and poor:“If you look at the data, that growing gap isn't growing. That gap is due to a statistical illusion.” In this podcast, we talk about “The Triumph of Economic Freedom" and debunk myths about poverty, AI taking jobs, and the dumb ways politicians claim to “improve" the economy.

Why do politicians keep making stock trades that catch the market's attention and should everyday investors be following them?Jackson Woods, co-founder of Altoneer, joins Alex Richardson to unpack how congressional stock trading actually works, how public disclosures are tracked, and why those trades continue to raise questions around transparency and potential conflicts of interest.They explore notable trades involving Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress, the 45-day disclosure window, committee assignments, late filing penalties, and the challenges investors face when trying to follow political trades after they become public.The conversation also dives into prediction markets, concerns around access to non-public information, proposals to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks, and whether stronger disclosure rules could change the system.Jackson also explains how Trade with Congress monitors political trading activity and what investors should consider before treating congressional trades as an investment signal.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Socialists, Marxists, and Islamists condemn America, its founding, and the Constitution. Any Democrat or DSA candidate who has stated they cannot abide the Constitution or seek to fundamentally alter it without amending it must not be seated in the next Congress, a position which is compelled by the Constitution itself. Article 6, Clause 3 requires senators, representatives, and other officers to be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution; they cannot be seated until they take that oath, which is a requirement of serving rather than a ceremonial act. Also, some conservative politicians who had been acting like pseudo-conservatives now appear to be shifting on AI data centers toward local control, leaving decisions to local governments and zoning boards. Just a week earlier the Luddites and radical leftists were serving the interests of communist China rather than America's. Artificial intelligence is involved in many areas where it is wanted and will produce enormous community wealth that can fund positive things, lower taxes rather than raise them, and—if handled properly—not drive up electricity costs. Democrats, not data centers, have driven up energy prices for years. Later, steps must still be taken so that, if the Iranian regime collapses, people with a Western mentality who are friends of ours can take the reins; that is not the same as establishing a democracy. Allies need not be democracies. Arm the resistance and opposition and they will rise up. Afterward, Ryan Reynolds is an irrelevant actor who called the 1980s a “brutal time,” a “fu*king mess” of sociopolitical tension. The 1980's were a spectacular era of economic growth, restored American superpower status, Reagan's defeat of the Soviet Union and eight years of great Americanism. Hatred of the 1980s is really hatred of Reagan and Republicans; those who reject its economics in favor of 1930s-style big-government programs (New Deal through Biden) or who recast activist government as a new national-conservative idea are recycling old liberal-Republican/RINO thinking.

A quarter century after the September 11 attacks emboldened then-President George W. Bush to launch the “war on terror,” many Americans might like to think they're wiser than the politicians and pundits who unleashed a flood of anti-Muslim hatred and eroded civil liberties through warrantless wiretaps and racist deportation campaigns.But some of the most notorious Bush-era advents — like the Department of Homeland Security and the prison colony at Guantánamo Bay — don't appear to be going anywhere. Nor does the phenomenon of Islamophobia, which is playing a major role in the current political cycle. Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed — who, if elected, would be the first Muslim U.S. senator — has been called a terrorist, a radical Islamist, and a threat to national security, as pro-corporate and pro-Israel super PACs spend millions on ads that paint him as a terrorist sympathizer. In New York City, meanwhile, local media has suggested that the city's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, should not attend the commemoration of the World Trade Center attacks, as if to do so would be an insult to the victims and their families.“Islamophobia actually becomes more rampant during election season — not necessarily after a terrorist attack, but actually during election season in the U.S.,” journalist Rozina Ali tells The Intercept Briefing. “What's happened over the last three decades is that Islamophobia has become a feature of American politics. ... When you can't actually discuss the policies, when we're not willing to engage in facts, it's really easy to throw racist rhetoric at people.”“The fight that we're seeing now is whether we are willing to accept all forms of religion in this country. And as much as I want to say this is just more of what we've seen in the past, I think what does frighten me is how quickly we are moving to a place where some governor or some local official might try to outlaw Islam altogether. And mind you, this is even a policy shift from 10 years ago when Trump called for a Muslim ban,” says Ali. “What has been happening recently is that the rhetoric ... has been shifting toward, ‘Islam is not a religion, it's a political ideology.' This is not a new talking point, but it is becoming institutionalized. There are efforts to make it into law, which is a frightening place to be.”This week on the podcast, host Akela Lacy speaks to Ali about how anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies are on the rise and have endured, or even worsened, in the post-9/11 world, as well as her new book, “Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America.” Ali shares the first case in which the NSA admitted to spying on a U.S. citizen, Arab American attorney Abdeen Jabara, as well as the story of imam Yassin Aref, a victim of a controversial sting operation who served 15 years in federal prison due to the ambiguous “material support” for terrorism law first passed in the '90s. It was the same charge used to convict anti-ICE protesters at Prairieland Detention Center to decades in prison this year.“This was something lot of civil rights lawyers and activists were warning about even back then, because they recognized that this law and this war on terror can be used to attack dissidents and eventually will be used to attack a lot more people than the Muslim community. And that is what we're seeing now,” says Ali.“Because we've given so much power to the executive branch, because we've given so much power to the government over the last 25 years, the government gets to decide who they consider enemies, who they consider terrorists, and what they consider support for terrorism,” says Ali. “The Trump administration can say, ‘I now consider leftists terrorists,' and unfortunately, there are laws in the books that allow him to do that.”Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4zPINylKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Americans are mad about data centers being built near them. President Trump, however, argues building more of them on home soil helps the country's economy and is critical to our national security. How can lawmakers on both sides of the aisle balance those benefits alongside the anger of the public?Plus, ICE switched up its enforcement strategy to attract fewer headlines and increase arrests. But it hasn't changed the public's sentiment that the agency's earlier crackdown was far too harsh.

It's Tuesday, September 1st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Russia shot down 239 Ukrainian drones The Russian-Ukrainian War is not relenting. Russia fired almost 1,500 drones into Ukraine over the last four days. Meanwhile, Russia reportedly shot down 239 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory over the last day. Both countries are targeting food distribution and energy infrastructure over a long and drawn out conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin is also preparing to send another large conscription to the battlefront, reports The Economist. Russia considers nuclear weapons against Ukraine A leader of the Russian legislature and the country's nationalist party, Alexis Zhuvraflev, announced on Sunday that the use of nuclear weapons in the war is now under consideration. In his words, “If necessary, we are obliged to use [tactical nuclear weapons]. ... If we need to strike, we will strike.” Russian President Putin appears increasingly frustrated with the progress of the war. A source informed The Economist that Putin is afraid “they will hang me” if war objectives are not accomplished. For greater context, the Kyiv Post quoted U.S. CIA Director John Ratcliffe as saying the life expectancy of a Russian soldier on the front line was “less than 35 minutes.” He added that Moscow had captured only 1% of Ukraine's total territory during the previous 18 months. How Chinese manufacturing and trade surplus is a military advantage China's manufacturing productive capacity is on the increase — all told, about double that of the United States.   In 2025, China made 960.8 million metric tons of crude steel versus only 82 million tons in the United States. China produces three times the number of automobiles compared to the U.S. And China's machine-tool production is six-fold that of the United States. China's trade surplus is hitting $1 trillion this year while America's trade deficit is going the other direction — now an annual rate of $900 billion.  Indeed, China's enormous manufacturing base becomes one of its greatest military strategic advantages. Politician in Alberta, Canada upset about tariff war with America Alberta, Canada Premier Danielle Smith shared her thoughts on the ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States. Listen. SMITH: “Tariffs and counter-tariffs are harmful to both countries involved. They disrupt businesses, threaten jobs, drive up inflation, decrease productivity, and strain relationships between allies. “What is happening between Canada and the United States right now is tragic, unjustified, and wholly unnecessary to what has been one of the largest and most successful trading relationships in world history.” Smith went on to push back against suggested oil tariffs against the United States. SMITH: “I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta's oil to the United States. Doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy. It would not only extinguish the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Albertans, it would economically hobble our friends and neighbors in other provinces to the east.” Flash flood in Nepal killed 955; 4,471 people are missing The death toll from flash flooding in Nepal has reached 955, with another 4,471 people missing as of today, reports the French News Agency. (We have a link to the eye-opening video from CBS Evening News in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) This flash flood has shaped up to be the worst disaster in Nepal since the earthquake of 2015 which killed around 9,000 people. It may also be the worst flash flood disaster in recorded history — topping the Peruvian glacial lake outburst of 1941.  American economy is lagging America's golden age hasn't quite arrived yet.   The U.S. economy is lagging — registering the lowest economic output since 2020, and then again back in 2009. The latest reading on the Gross Domestic Product from the second quarter puts annual output at 1.47%.  Removing the contributions from Artificial Intelligence, the annual output is an anemic 0.9%. Economists have pointed out that the bang for the buck from federal deficits is not working like it used to work. In the 1990s, the Keynesian approach yielded 3.1% growth with 2.1% deficits. During the 2000s, this decreased to 1.9% growth with 2.3% deficits. During the 2010s, this decreased to only 2.4% growth with 4.8% deficits. And, over the last five years, only 2.4% growth with 8% deficits. Over the last three decades, the United States has moved from periods of strong economic growth with little or no federal deficit to historically large peacetime deficits accompanying substantially slower economic growth. Deuteronomy 15:5b-6 repels this debt in these words: “Carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today.  For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” New Jersey bans prayer and protests at abortion mills New Jersey Democratic Governor Rebecca Sherrill has signed a bill into law which would ban prayer and protests outside of abortion mills. The law specifically prevents an individual from attempting to “injure, threaten, intimidate, or physically block patients or providers…to interfere with reproductive healthcare services.” Shawn Carney, CEO of 40 Days for Life, argued, “Prayer is not a crime. Holding a sign is not intimidation. Offering a woman help is not coercion. This law is designed to scare people of faith off the sidewalks outside abortion facilities by creating the constant threat of prosecution and costly lawsuits.”  Proverbs 31:8-9 exhorts all of us to “Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Sent a polite, 3-sentence note to New Jersey Democratic Governor Rebecca Sherrill objecting to her decision to ban prayer and peaceful protests outside abortion mills.  Send it to: PO Box 001, Trenton, NJ 08625. 11,000 Americans infected by lettuce parasite That cyclosporiasis outbreak, attributed to Taylor Farms de Mexico, has now infected over 11,000 Americans across 20 states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.   Fox Business reports a 30% decrease in lettuce sales across the country. The culprit is a single-celled parasite that produces stomach cramps, nausea, and fatigue. Texas looks to end no-fault divorce The state of Texas is looking to end no-fault divorce.  In its legislative priorities for 2026-2028, the Texas GOP State Convention lists protecting kids as a major priority, specifically mentioning the promotion of marriage, parental rights, the end of homosexual adoptions, and the end of no-fault divorce. The document further explained, “When a marriage breaks down, family law proceedings should respect 50/50 equal parenting presumptions in the best interest of children.”  Other priorities for the Texas GOP include border security, banning taxpayer-funded lobbying, and equal protection for the unborn.  New NASA telescope 100 times more powerful than Hubble telescope And finally, on Sunday, August 30th at 7:26am Eastern Time, NASA launched a rocket to place the next generation telescope into our Solar System from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Nancy Grace Roman telescope, named after NASA's first chief of astronomy Nancy Grace Roman, is 100 times more powerful than both the James Webb telescope and the Hubble space telescope. It will take about 100 days to reach its destination — about one million miles from Earth. That's equal to the distance of orbiting the Earth's circumference of 24,900 miles 40 times over. To quote Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown from the 1985 Back to the Future movie, portrayed by Christopher Lloyd: BROWN: “Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!” (sound effect of the modified DeLorean DMC-12 time machine taking off) Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 1st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

President Trump has embarked on a pro-AI data center kick, causing a world of hurt for his own party. The gigantic, energy-guzzling factories are literally and figuratively steamrolling small rural communities—the very same voters Republicans need to clinch the midterms. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are doing an about face on the issue, but will it be too little, too late? Alex speaks to Suzanne Bellsnyder, author of the Texas Rural Reporter substack, about what it's like when your home becomes ground zero for data center development. Then, she puts it all into context with Galaxy Brain's Charlie Warzel, who writes about AI and technology at The Atlantic.Pre-order Alex's new book, The Steal: Four Right-Wing Hard-Liners, One Republican Presidency, and The Raid On America's Courts and subscribe to her Substack here.Hate listening to ads?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, we lost an American legend: Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80. The news was sudden and hits in a personal way. Dolly was the quintessential American: grew up dirt poor, she became a success not due to socialism or government programs, but through talent and hard work. She wasn't a political hack and had her opinions, but she loved this country and was a great patriot. There was never any hint of scandal in her private life. She had some health problems in the last years of her life and recently posted basically a goodbye to her fans. She'll be remembered along with legends like Elvis and Johnny Cash. Dolly Parton, American legend. She will be missed. Also, Social Security is in deep trouble. Founded in 1935 as government-funded retirement insurance, it's expanded massively from its original scope to more than 58 million recipients. Unlike in years past, soon there will not be enough workers to pay into the system. It's effectively broke. Social Security is meant to be funded by payroll taxes - effectively, a tax on employment. The money is supposed to be deposited into a trust fund, but that no longer exists. Today's retirees get less benefits than they paid in. And those who didn't pay into the system, like illegal aliens, get full benefits. Politicians are running Social Security into the ground like they did Medicare. Then, why are so many young people socialists? Because they don't read substantive stuff. And not these AI-generated books, but real books by real authors who did their own original research. Young people these days would rather get on TikTok and social media than read a book about America, the Constitution, the Third Reich, the Holocaust, or isolationism in the 1930s that led to Pearl Harbor. Ever see these videos where someone goes to college campuses and ask students basic questions about American civics? What does the Senate do? What is the Electoral College? What does packing the Supreme Court mean? They haven't a clue. This is why education is so important, especially early in life. We've handed education over to the government and teachers' unions, and we wonder why kids grow up loving socialism? Finally, Jeanne Allen, author of "The Education Avengers: How and Why a New Class of Heroes Is Fighting America's Biggest Battle," tells the stories of twelve remarkable individuals who, like The Avengers from the Marvel movie, fought for those who can't defend themselves: children. The Education Avengers took on the Hydra - aka the education establishment, the many-headed tangle of rules, compliance mandates, unions and apathy. These people come from different backgrounds: teachers, entrepreneurs, pastors, parents, innovators and business leaders. They're examples of what ordinary people can do when they band together and don't accept the status quo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
