Today's show is an interview with Dixon Osburn, an old friend and colleague who was one of the key players in the repeal of the US military's ban on gay service members, the infamous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Dixon has a new book out about the history of DADT, "Mission Possible: The Story of Repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Dixon and I talk about the history of the gay ban, going back to the early 1900s, the adoption and implementation of DADT under President Clinton, and its ultimate repeal under President Obama. And finally, we close with a discussion of lessons learned that other movements can take away from the successful fight to repeal the gay ban.This is one of our premium episodes.

"Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions." - Jerry Falwell Sr. - Founder of Liberty university Liberty University was founded in 1971 by Southern Baptist televangelist Jerry Falwell. Liberty is now the second-largest provider of online education in the US. It was also Falwell, that famously claimed that “Aids is not just God's punishment for homosexuals. It is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.” He was a real sweetheart. Unsurprisingly, Liberty University's honor code, the Liberty Way, is just a graceful as old dead Jerry. It states that “sexual relations outside of a biblically-ordained marriage between a natural-born man and a natural-born woman are not permissible at Liberty University” So join us today on the show is Lucas Wilson. Lucas is a former student from Liberty University and attended from 2008-2012. He is also one of 40 plaintiffs suing the U.S. Department of Education in a class-action lawsuit that centers on the question of whether or not religious colleges and universities (mostly of the evangelical or Mormon varieties) should receive federal funds while actively discriminating against their LGBTQ+ students. In our wide-ranging discussion, Lucas covers everything from Liberty's subpar academics to his experiences of discrimination on campus and conversion therapy. It is an eye-opening conversation about a university that claims to feign Christian values but, in reality, is just an immoral moneymaker more concerned with political power than the Kingdom of God. After all, who can forget Jerry Falwell Jr's cuckolding adventures with the pool boy that made national news? His father would be proud.

This week on Sinica, Kaiser and Jeremy welcome Lizzi Lee (李其 Lǐ Qi), SupChina contributor and host of the excellent Chinese-language YouTube channel Wall Street Today, and Jude Blanchette, Freeman Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), to talk about the spate of regulatory actions, new rules, and Party-led initiatives that, taken together, we at SupChina have started calling the “Red New Deal.” Can these be understood as different facets of a larger, overarching program to remake China's economy and society?

Nicki Minaj gets flack for telling people to think for themselves. Survivors testify before Congress about the FBI's negligence regarding Larry Nassar. The Biden Administration and MSM rally around General Milley.   Brought to you by Shea Concrete and DCU

Today's show rundown: Chuck has a hard time deciphering the language used in some "rap-speech"...also, Chuck cant not figure out "Biden-Speech"...his mouth is moving, but he doest know what is coming out of his mouth. Biden talking about needing to keep the vaccinated safe from the un-vaccinated. 2 things you can count on when you elect Democrats...higher taxes, and a lower standard of living. The middle class gets the inflation, gas, groceries, everywhere while the Left says only The Rich will be paying more taxes. Sports events seem to have turned on the President, with rampant "F-Biden" chants being heard across multiple games. On to Afghanistan...a 5 year old would know you get out your civilians BEFORE you get the military and defense forces out. But Biden was looking for an "moment" where he could say that we did it. That on the anniversary of 9/11 Joe could have a speech saying how awesome he was. But after the failure of Biden's exodus from Afghanistan, the main stream media is now re-focused on Trump and how it is all his fault. But we do know this, Biden has west to make a single mistake in his presidency. We welcome in John Schneider who jumps right in to the issues we as a country face with our current administration. John goes into some detail on the California recall of Gavin Newsom. There are multiple reports of people who have NOT voted, being told by polling stations that they have already voted. John is 61 years old, and says we have lived through several decades where complacency was ok, but this is NOT the case now. We need to explain to people who are too busy, that everything their forefathers died for, is at stake...right now....today. For such a time like this...you were born...do NOT be inactive.
