Peter Robbins returns to the show to continue our discussion about Wilhelm Reich. We talk about Peters' latest book, called Deception, and do get into varies discussion about UFO's, and then get into Reich, Cloudbusting, and UFO's.Peter Robbins was first introduced to the books of Wilhelm Reich as a teenager by a college roommate, to whom he remains deeply indebted. In 1976 he met Dr. Elsworth F. Baker, Reich's first assistant for the last eleven years of his life. Soon after this he became a patient of Dr. Baker and entered into almost seven years of medical orgone therapy with the distinguished orgonomist.Robbins went on to enroll in the classes New York University offered in scientific and social orgonomy which was taught by the Reich scholars Professors John Bell and Paul Matthews. They in turn invited him to become a member of their ongoing Seminar in Social and Scientific Orgonomy, patterned after the seminars which Sigmund Freud presided over during the nineteen twenties. Peter spent much of the nineteen eighties involved with this group, presenting a variety of papers to his fellow seminar members under Matthews' and Bell's guidance and leadership.Peter was a volunteer fundraiser for the American College of Orgonomy's (ACO) Building Fund and had two papers on Wilhelm Reich and UFOs published in the Journal of Orgonomy. He was part of a select group of volunteers invited to witness a demonstration of cloudbusting technology and presented on the subject of Reich and UFOs at the ACO's Princeton NJ facility, and at international conferences on the life and work of Reich in New York City, Ashland Oregon, Niece France and Karavomilos Greece. His lectures have been well received at numerous scientific and UFO conferences both here and abroad while his articles on the subject have been published in a variety of print and web publications. Robbins' extensively researched paper, “Politics, Religion and Human Nature: Practical Problems and Roadblocks on the Path Toward Official UFO Acknowledgment” is scheduled to be published in the upcoming issue of Annals of the Institute for Orgonomic Science.

President Trump says he only watched part of a video including a racist animation of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, before it was posted on his own social media. The clip was at the end of a 62-second video he shared containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. It was up for twelve hours before it was deleted. There has been a furious backlash from both Democrats and Republicans, which the White House initially dismissed as ''fake outrage'', but later blamed the post on a staffer who it said had '‘erroneously'' shared it. Also: how the release of the Epstein files has triggered a number of investigations into Europe's political elite. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is hoping to secure a stronger mandate in this weekend's snap election; we hear what is on the minds of voters.

On this episode of The Real Money Show, presented by Guildhall Wealth, Jeremy Wiseman and Jerry Correia break down the recent surge and pullback in silver and explain why volatility and “dislocation” are classic features of a real bull market — not signs of weakness. As paper contracts were aggressively sold to meet margin calls, physical demand surged, inventories vanished, and premiums exploded worldwide. Jeremy and Jerry point to bank failures, leveraged unwinds, and collapsing derivatives as evidence that this selloff is paper carnage, not physical selling. They also examine the U.S. government's move to classify silver as a critical mineral and launch a multi-billion-dollar strategic stockpile under Project Vault, a shift that could permanently change the precious metals landscape. The Real Money Show airs Saturdays at 1 p.m. ET on Rebel News.

The recently released 2007 draft federal indictment against Jeffrey Epstein reveals the full scope of charges that were prepared but never filed. The 56-page document outlined 32 felony counts involving 19 girls under the age of 18, spanning a six-year period from 2001 to 2007. The charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States, sex trafficking of minors, enticement of a minor, and facilitating unlawful travel for illicit sex acts. Twenty-five of these counts carried potential life sentences with mandatory minimums between 10 and 15 years. Federal prosecutors in West Palm Beach had assembled exhaustive evidence and prepared an 82-page prosecution memo to support the indictment. Instead of facing these charges, Epstein's high-priced legal team, including Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz, negotiated a plea deal with US Attorney Alex Acosta that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to just two state charges. He served only 13 months in county jail with work release privileges, leaving the facility daily to work from his office. The draft indictment details how Epstein targeted vulnerable teenage girls, many from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and operated a systematic sex trafficking operation with the assistance of employees whose names remain redacted. The document reveals threats made to victims and a pattern of abuse that could have resulted in over 100 years of prison time if prosecuted. Hawk examines the legal framework, the specific charges, and the failure of justice that allowed Epstein to continue abusing minors for another 11 years until his 2019 arrest and death.

In the latest batch of Epstein files, hundreds of pages are redacted, shielding the names of prosecutors and possible co-conspirators. On this week's On the Media, what the files say about how the criminal justice system failed Epstein's victims. Plus, the toppling of a statue raises questions about who represents Puerto Rican culture. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Julie K. Brown, investigative journalist for The Miami Herald, whose reporting back in 2018 led to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's arrest. Brown is pouring through the Epstein files and finding new information about how prosecutors failed to bring Epstein to justice for so many years. She is documenting what she finds in her substack newsletter, The Epstein Files by Julie K. Brown. [19:24]  We're celebrating the launch of Season 3 of La Brega from Alana Casanova-Burgess and Futuro Media by featuring episode one: about the toppling of the statue of a Spanish colonizer in San Juan a few years ago, what that reveals about Puerto Rico's champions, and who deserves that pedestal. Further reading / watching:“What I found today in The Epstein Files,” by Julie K.

Ben Shapiro, the host of his eponymous podcast and the co-founder of the conservative website the Daily Wire, has lambasted the left and the Democratic Party for decades. Recently, though, Shapiro has taken to criticizing some of the loudest voices in the MAGA universe, including Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. The rift is over the acceptance and promulgation of conspiracy theories and, in particular, the normalization of antisemitism. Shapiro discusses the Epstein files and what they show—and do not show—about the powerful people connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The belief in conspiracies of the élite reflects “people's desire to abdicate control over their own lives,” Shapiro tells David Remnick. They discuss Shapiro's adherence to the conservative value of personal responsibility, and how he squares that with MAGA and its champions.New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

This week, Congress ended a partial government shutdown, approving funding for several federal agencies through September. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees I.C.E and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, was not among those agencies. Democrats say they won't fund the D.H.S without restrictions on federal immigration agents. In this shifting political landscape, how will congressional Republicans respond?We'll discuss the Democrats' demands. How might congress realistically check President Trump's immigration enforcement policies, given the violent and seemingly indiscriminate tactics we're seeing in Minneapolis and nationally? With the midterms looming, will it be possible for the two parties to come together and compromise?Speaking of elections, President Trump this week repeated a call to “nationalize” elections, saying Republicans should “take over” voting in 15 states.

In this week's episode from the archives, Eric Newman and Kate Wolf speak to the author Kristin Ross about her book, The Politics and Poetics of Everyday Life, a collection of essays that examine how everyday life emerges as a vantage point for understanding and transforming our social world. The book represents three decades of Ross's writing about the everyday in French political, social, and cultural theory and history, including the commune form and current autonomous zones in France, the romance and memory of the May 1968 protests, and the present predicaments both faced and created by the Macron government. Featuring a long interview with the pioneering philosopher Henri Lefebvre, the book also invokes the work of Fredric Jameson, Jacques Ranciere, Emile Zola, and many others, to explore the intersections of political transformation and cultural representation as resources for thinking opposition and liberation in the present.

Trump's ego is on full display. In order to release more infrastructure funding for the Gateway Tunnels between New York and New Jersey, Trump is demanding that two major transportation hubs be named after him. Politico reports that Trump indicated to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that he'd release funds if both Washington-Dulles International Airport and Penn Station were renamed in honor of Trump. It's the latest scheme that highlights the importance of Trump's self aggrandizement instead of prioritizing what's best for the country. Immigration attorney Michael Foote will stop by to talk about ICE tactics, Trump's Immigration policies and how he's seeing it all play out in real life. “This Week in Politics” includes Michael Shure and Mo Kelly breaking down the biggest stories of the week. We'll wrap it up with Friday Fabulous Florida and our Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder who will steer us toward all the good things on screens large and small.

Most people imagine themselves as the ones who would have resisted. The ones who would have spoken up. The ones who would have refused to go along. History tends to tell a different story. In this episode, Corey Nathan explores how anonymity subtly yet significantly reshapes moral responsibility. Not all at once, and not dramatically, but steadily. What begins as distance or abstraction often ends as permission. Permission to flatten, dismiss, or dehumanize without fully reckoning with the human cost. This episode serves as a spoken companion to the essay Anonymity and the Collapse of the Thou, tracing how moral imagination thins when people stop encountering one another as full human beings. Calls to Action ✅ If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who might need a reminder that disagreement doesn't have to mean dehumanization. ✅ Check out our Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen: ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics ✅ Subscribe to Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other on your favorite podcast platform. ✅ Watch the full conversation and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion What This Episode Explores Anonymity as a continuum Anonymity is not simply named versus nameless. At one end lies healthy privacy and necessary protection. Move far enough along that continuum, however, and something shifts. Neighbors become avatars. Persons become categories. Moral responsibility begins to erode. From I-Thou to I-It Drawing on the work of Martin Buber, the episode contrasts I-Thou relationships, which recognize the other as a person, with I-It relationships, which reduce the other to a function, role, or obstacle. Anonymity subtly nudges human interaction away from encounter and toward objectification. How dehumanization actually happens Rarely does anyone set out to be cruel. Language flattens. Tone sharpens. Context disappears. Once people become abstractions, harm starts to feel like enforcement, righteousness, or necessity rather than cruelty. The story we tell ourselves about history History is rarely judged by who people imagined themselves to be. It is judged by who benefited from their choices, who was cast as the threat, and who paid the price. The episode challenges the comforting assumption that moral clarity would have come easily. Moral distance and accountability Anonymity creates moral distance, and moral distance makes unbearable actions easier to justify. This insight reaches beyond platforms and politics into Scripture, civic life, and the foundations of constitutional self government, all of which presume identifiable responsibility. Why this matters now Cultures trained to dehumanize do not become lethal overnight. Words loosen first. Norms erode next. By the time violence appears, it often feels inevitable to those involved. Democracy survives not on procedures alone, but on people repeatedly choosing to see one another as human.

Join host Jeff for the Friday edition of Right on Radio Live — a fast-moving, opinionated episode for both live listeners and replay audiences. Jeff opens by weighing the future of his popular “Word on Word” Bible segment, explains his editorial intent and Christian worldview, and promises a mix of scripture, current events, and unsparing commentary. The show's Bible game compares two passages — Hebrews 12:1 and Proverbs 21:21 — with listeners voting live while Jeff explains why he personally leans toward the Hebrews passage and what that passage means for perseverance in a turbulent season. Major topics and clips covered include Candace Owens' recent investigation and her “Open Letter to Erica Kirk,” Tucker Carlson's on-the-ground interview in Jordan, and Jeff's ongoing tribulation series with Tim Cohen (including a teased “Where I Disagree” episode). Jeff also critiques returning media figures like Dan Bongino and explores how editorial bias shapes the narratives listeners hear. The episode delves into highly controversial themes and allegations that surface throughout online discourse: debates over Zionism and Israel, claims about media and financial influence, sensational accusations about elite wrongdoing and state operations, and discussions of organized online bot activity. Jeff frames these subjects from his perspective as a born‑again Christian and cautions listeners that every program carries an editorial slant. Cultural symbolism and conspiracy threads receive extended attention: UFO talk and a Biblical reading of cosmology; theories about Super Bowl 60 symbolism (the TPUSA halftime alternative, Bad Bunny and Kid Rock's involvement, “puppy show” folklore and date patterns tied to February 8, 2026); and analyses of ritualized imagery and subconscious programming promoted by some commentators. Throughout the hour Jeff plays and reacts to clips — including material from President Trump, Savannah Guthrie, Bishop Williamson, Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock, Benny Johnson and others — and clarifies that many claims are presented as commentary and sourced media rather than original reporting or in-studio interviews. The episode closes with practical direction: a call to extra time in Scripture and prayer, promotion of a Saturday night Telegram prayer call and Sunday's continuation of First Corinthians, and an appeal to love God, family and neighbor even amid sharp political and spiritual disputes.
