Podcasts about rectenwald

In this episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, we dive into the "Trump Savior Syndrome" and its impact on the liberty movement. We discuss whether Kamala Harris would have been a better catalyst for dissent and momentum, and how the movement has shifted to cheerleading for the Federal government. We also discuss Chase Oliver's interactions with the Libertarian Party and large liberty influencers, his adherence to his ideology, and how his views were perceived in light of his sexual orientation. Additionally, we examine the Mises Caucus's support for Dr. Rectenwald and the challenges he faced with branding. We question Trump's alignment with Christian values and explore the potential for him to inadvertently inspire more freedom-minded activists and anarchists. We emphasize the importance of building your own network, creating parallel infrastructures, and pushing back against "friendly fascism." Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on the intersections of politics, philosophy, and the quest for true liberty. We end with a silver lining: Trump will likely create more freedom-minded activists and anarchists, so we need to support them and help them educate their views to further sculpt the liberty movement.

Kamala Harris, the Democrat contender for the U.S. presidency was the most socialist member of the Senate. Further left than Bernie Sanders, she has more recently been tagged a Marxist. But is she? In fact, what is she? That is the most asked question amongst undecided voters. For answers, who better to consult than a Professor of Marxism. Michael Rectenwald was a devout Marxist until he saw the light and recanted. After guesting on podcasts in 2021 & 2022, Rectenwald returns to give us answers to the above, and what a Harris administration would be like. And, of course, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout his speech Saturday at the Libertarian Party's national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me.” The heckling began the moment the former president took the stage, and some of his supporters in the room tried to drown out the boos with chants of “We want Trump.” “Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it's very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.” Trump added, “Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don't do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years.” (In 2016, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned more than 3% of the popular vote – a high point in the party's history.) Trump left the stage after 34 minutes, marking one of his shortest campaign speeches to date. The Libertarian Party is expected to select its presidential nominee Sunday. Trump's stop at the Libertarian convention marked an unconventional one for a presumptive Republican nominee, but it is illustrative of his campaign's intensifying concern over third-party candidates. The outreach to Libertarians follows weeks of stepped-up attacks by Trump aimed at Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose high-profile independent White House bid is increasingly viewed by the former president's advisers as a potential problem in an election expected to be decided by a narrow margin in a handful of states. Kennedy, who spoke at the convention on Friday, was nominated by a delegate Sunday on the convention floor, where his candidacy was met with boos from other delegates. He was eliminated as a potential nominee in the first round of voting after receiving support from 19 delegates, or just 2.07% of delegates. Trump was also nominated on the convention floor Sunday, but Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle ruled the former president was not qualified because he did not submit nominating papers. The scene inside the Washington Hilton was at times raucous Saturday, as Trump supporters and Libertarians clashed. McArdle, the party chair, took the stage ahead of Trump's speech to tell supporters of the former president sitting in the front rows to make room for the Libertarian delegates. “I don't want to, like, fight with people or beg and plead. Let's just make room for the delegates, because those are the people you're trying to persuade, right? You are already sold. Our delegates are not sold, and President Trump is here to try to sell them,” McArdle said. “Those of you who are Donald Trump supporters, I think what I would like to see tonight is for us to all get along and come to an understanding and find areas of agreement even if we don't agree to vote for the same person,” she added. Also ahead of the speech, Secret Service agents confiscated rubber chickens that the super PAC aligned with Kennedy's presidential campaign had passed out to attendees. “No lighters, no water bottles, no noisy chickens,” one agent yelled to attendees waiting to go through the security checkpoint. Tony Lyons, the co-chair of the pro-Kennedy American Values 2024 super PAC, confirmed to CNN that the group had distributed the rubber chickens at the convention Saturday. Libertarians in the crowd at times confronted Trump supporters, and some audience members were escorted out of the venue. One Libertarian critic of Trump was forced to leave after CNN observed him throwing a punch at a Trump-supporting audience member. Several people toward the front of the room turned their backs to Trump as he spoke. One of Trump's few loud applause lines Saturday came when he announced that if elected, he would commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the underground website Silk Road, which let users anonymously buy and sell anything from drugs to hacking tutorials. Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison in 2015 following his conviction on seven counts ranging from money laundering to drug trafficking, and many attendees at the Libertarian convention have been arguing for his pardon. Trump also received cheers when he said he would put a Libertarian in his Cabinet and appoint Libertarians to senior positions in his administration in a potential second term. Prior to the speech, the Trump campaign said it anticipated getting an unfriendly reception from some attendees – former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, now a Trump surrogate, received loud boos when he mentioned the former president in his speech at the convention Friday. “Do we know that it's not exactly home base? Absolutely. There will be people who want him to be there and people who don't want him to be there, but we're on offense and competing for nontraditional votes in order to unite the country,” Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller told CNN. Meanwhile, Biden's campaign cast Trump as “anti-freedom” ahead of his address. “Donald Trump says his Republican Party is the party of freedom, but tell that to the women who have had the freedom to make their own health care decisions ripped away and their pregnancies monitored by the government,” Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement Saturday. Biden was also invited to speak at the convention but didn't respond, McArdle told CNN earlier. At a news conference immediately following Trump's speech, Chase Oliver, a Libertarian presidential candidate, said that he believed it was a mistake to invite Trump but that he was proud that Libertarians heckled the former president during his remarks. “I don't like having a war criminal on this stage. I don't feel he deserves a spot on this stage,” Oliver said. “While I think it was a mistake to have invited Donald Trump, I'm glad he got to see a glimpse of what a real Libertarian reception feels like.” Michael Rectenwald, another Libertarian presidential candidate, said he believed the party achieved some gains by inviting Trump to the convention, pointing to the former president's commitment to commute Ulbricht's sentence. “We got a major political party candidate to say that he would free Ross Ulbricht,” Rectenwald said at the news conference. “We moved the needle toward liberty.” Still, Rectenwald acknowledged that Trump's remarks were unlikely to persuade Libertarians to vote for the former president. “There are no people in this room in the Libertarian Party at risk for falling for Trump's bullsh*t,” he said. Trent Nestle, a Libertarian delegate from Tennessee, told CNN that Trump's pledge to commute Ulbricht's sentence wouldn't be enough to convince him to back the former president. “I want to see it happen,” Nestle said. “It won't change my vote in November.” - by Kate Sullivan, Aaron Pellish and Steve Contorno, CNNSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this riveting episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt are joined by Dr. Michael Rectenwald, a former NYU professor, renowned author, and most recently, a presidential hopeful for the Libertarian nomination in 2024. Dr. Rectenwald's rich journey from a committed Marxist to a Libertarian makes for a compelling backdrop to our discussions.

Dr. Rectenwald shares insights on the complex geopolitical situation and its ramifications.

As always, as we wind down, we focus on possible solutions, seeking pathways to address and mitigate some of the pressing problems discussed.

We talked about his decision to run, and what he is hoping to accomplish with his campaign. We dived into multiple conversations, including how to effectively engage in local politics, the intersections between Christianity and libertarianism, our similar journeys to libertarianism/anarchism as two former leftists, and how libertarianism offers principles and effective solutions to divisive political/cultural issues such as abortion.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit public.substack.comThe World Economic Forum claims to be an impartial, independent organization dedicated to making corporations around the globe accountable to all sectors of society. In partnership with the United Nations, the WEF is shepherding private-public sector cooperation toward sustainable development goals that will be a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity, now and into the future.” These goals include ending hunger, gender equality, access to education, clean water, and clean energy across the globe.But for all its utopian promise, the WEF platform is not about liberation – it's about pathological domination — a “megalomaniacal control scheme,” according to author and academic Michael Rectenwald, who argues as much in his book, “The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda.”This might sound like something a lifelong conservative and conspiracy theorist would say. In fact, Rectenwald is a former Marxist and professor of liberal studies. So why did he leave the Left and become a prominent critic of woke excess? And why did he write a book about the WEF and the threat of the transhumanist agenda?

Even the very conservative state of Montana was plagued by massive levels of voter fraud in the 2020 election, Montana Election Integrity Project leader Jane Rectenwald told The New American magazine’s Alex Newman after giving her presentation at Mike Lindell’s Moment of Truth summit. Rectenwald, who oversees about 150 volunteers investigating election fraud in Montana, ... The post Election Integrity Leader: Massive Evidence for Vote Fraud … in MONTANA!  appeared first on The New American.

Jane Rectenwald is the president of the Montana Election Integrity Project. She talked about discrepancies in Missoula elections and statewide.

Many see through the destructive thoughts, emotions and policies of Leftist political dogma - thanks in large part to the actions and behaviors of their acolytes in academia, the media and other institutions. But few have as direct experience of it - and the wit and guts to call it out for what it is and share that understanding of it with stark clarity and aplomb - as today's guest. After being “softly” ejected from his position at New York University for his critical tweets of the deleterious SJW culture he was witnessing, Prof. Michael Rectenwald steeled himself to examine even further the phenomenon he was witnessing and became a victim of. With his books Springtime For Snowflakes and Google Archipelago, and his prolific output of essays and articles, Michael not only documents his own personal journey through various intellectual currents and his own higher values, but also examines how these themes overlap with Big Digital and macro developments such as the now infamous and imminent Great Reset. This week on MindMatters we get to discuss some of the most important issues facing Western society and culture today with one of the strongest advocates for personal and political sanity to grace the stage. An added bonus, we celebrate the release of the new edition of Dr. Andrew Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology, edited by MindMatters' Harrison Koehli, with a foreword by Prof. Rectenwald, in which he describes how ponerology helped explain his own experience of Leftist totalitarianism, and why the book's explanatory power is so compelling and crucial for better understanding our world.Buy Michael's booksMindMatters on Youtube

Join our conversation with Dr. Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., former full Professor at NYU. Dr. Rectenwald authored last December's (2021) Imprimis piece called "The Great Reset" published by Hillsdale College. Michael takes us through what it was like teaching at NYU (which is in New York). He was there for over a decade. But the wokeness and PC stuff began , slowly, to make him feel like he was under the thumb of a totalitarian culture crushing free thought. He began to realize it took more and more courage just to believe his own beliefs instead of the beliefs that he was supposed to believe. This came to a head in 2016, the Fall. That semester, he was punished for his beliefs, for his commitment to academic excellence, which requires Free Speech. He was removed, without adequate cause, from the classroom 4 weeks into the semester. This mistreatment at the hands of the woke Leftists who run the campus spurred a conversion in every way. In his words: "Let me just say this," he said, describing that crazy semester, "in September I was a Marxist. By November, I voted for Trump." Part of the fuller story of his conversion was spiritual and philosophical (metaphysical). He went from being a metaphysical materialist (as Marxists are), or rather, functionally or methodologically one, to be more precise--he described himself as an agnostic--to a Christian believer. Part of this journey involved the healing of his son's stage 4 cancer. This stuff we would have liked to get into more but it occurred at the very end, and we weren't able to follow this in any more detail due to time constraints. We discuss grade inflation, his time at the Naropa Institute in Boulder under Allen Ginsberg (yes, the Allen Ginsberg) (I asked if they were a bunch of Republicans. He said, uh, no). (Shocker). We discuss his graduate training and what conspiracy theories are , and whether a conspiracy theory involving human actors can adequately explain the concentration and character, the phenomenology of totalitarian forces that seem to be the data calling out for explanation. The Republican Professor is a pro-understanding-conspiracy-theories , pro-conversion-from-Marxism, pro-Free-Speech and pro-academic-excellence, pro-understanding-what-is-the-great-reset? podcast. Therefore, welcome Michael Rectenwald !

Michael Rectenwald returns to discuss the ESG Index or "woke capitalism" as a selection mechanism or demarcation device to delineate which businesses are onboard with The Great Reset and punish those who are not compliant. It is effectively a Social Credit System for companies, feeding investments toward the compliant while starving dissident firms, competition, and industries. This sets up the possibility for doing to companies what is being done to individuals in Canada right now, de-banking them and freezing their assets, and is totalitarian in nature. This global government combines the worst of both systems (capitalism and communism). We discuss the WEF Young Global Leaders program, the threat posed by the people who don't see COVID1984 for what it is, resistance, and parallel structures.

Because the Rectenwald returns to Geopolitics & Empire. Michael Rectenwald is former NYU professor and author of 11 books including Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom. You best get this book and read it because judging by events in Canada, the hunger games have officially commenced and we are now in thick of the Google Archipelago where you can have your bank account frozen for donating money to truckers. Michael, how are you doing? And how are you enjoying the Google Archipelago? Michael Rectenwald: I'm hanging in there very well. It's great to be back. So yeah, I'm looking forward to our talk. Geopolitics & Empire: Yeah. I think you were ill for a while now and you recovered? Michael Rectenwald: Oh, yes. I had COVID and went in twice to the hospital. The first time was for COVID itself, but then really, I left the hospital and then the medications they gave me made me sicker than anything. I was given some anticoagulants that ended up causing me to have intestinal bleeding, which almost killed me. So the second time I went into the hospital, I was under respiratory failure. I couldn't breathe at all. So they had to put me on a ventilator. I was completely unconscious. They put me on a ventilator and everybody that knew me thought this is a 50-50 chance to survive once you're on the ventilator. I was on that for three days, but I didn't know that. I woke up and I was in the ICU and just said, "Well, how long have I been here?" And they said, "Three days." I was like, "What? I had lost them completely." So I was in 12 days in the ICU in a couple more days in the regular hospital bed. And oh boy, I couldn't walk when I got out. I couldn't do anything. I mean, I was so weak. I lost 50 pounds. It was intense. Geopolitics & Empire: Yeah. I was shocked when I saw you posting that on Facebook and Twitter and your social media. I was like I couldn't believe it,

“People are losing jobs. They're losing livelihoods. They're losing social credibility,” says Michael Rectenwald. “We're looking at social death, in effect.” In this episode, Michael Rectenwald, author of “Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom,” explains the negative consequences of https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-cancel-culture (cancel culture) and what “The Great Reset” really is about. A former Marxist and professor at New York University, Rectenwald recently co-founded https://americanscholars.com/ (American Scholars), an emerging education platform that challenges the university model with a low-cost, woke-free alternative. There are still companies like American Hartford Gold, that value freedom of speech and honest discourse—and are sponsoring shows like ours. With inflation on the rise, investing in gold is another option to diversify your assets. American Hartford Gold is a patriotic, family-owned company that not only sells precious metals right to your front door, they can help deposit gold into a retirement account like an IRA or 401K. They've got an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and right now they have a promotion where they will give you up to $1,500 of free silver on your first order. You can just call 855-862-3377, that's 855-862-3377 or you can text “AMERICAN” to 6-5-5-3-2.

Carter and Keri and joined by special guests Dr. Michael Rectenwald and David Reaboi. They discuss the CDC's most recent eviction moratorium, and how the government's response to COVID-19 has been to facilitate a large transfer of wealth from the middle class to large corporations. Michael explains how socialism and corporate monopolies are related, and David explains how neocons have failed to defend conservative ideas on principle. After chatting about the difference between rights and privileges, the guests share their "white pill" moments from the last year. The conversation turns to art, books, and music, and Michael shares how he was suspended from Facebook for simply summarizing the plot of his recent novel, Thought Criminal. They end the show by contemplating conspiracy theories and the role they can play in promulgation of the Cathedral's narrative.

The Anti-PC Professor, Michael Rectenwald, comes to The P.A.S. Report Podcast to discuss the new woke totalitarianism engulfing our society. Dr. Rectenwald was one of the first to do battle with the woke mobs, and he is on the front lines. We discuss how wokism has infected nearly every government institution, corporations, as well as other aspects of life, and the unholy alliance that has formed. However, the woke mobs may have overplayed their hands, and it seems as Americans have had enough and the pushback is building.   Don't forget to share this episode of The P.A.S. Report with family and friends, and on all your social media channels.   It is Professor Giordano's passion that led him to start The P.A.S. Report. Sick of an activist news media that wants to dictate how to think, Professor Giordano started The P.A.S. Report because of his unique ability to break down complex political issues and explain those issues in a way to appeal to everyday Americans. By introducing facts, a conservative perspective, quality analysis, and some common sense, the listeners can come to their own conclusions.   The P.A.S. Report is a rapidly growing conservative podcast. Professor Giordano talks about the issues that matter to you and America. He also has great guests, including Tucker Carlson, Victor Davis Hanson, Dinesh D'Souza, Gad Saad, Dave Rubin, Deroy Murdock, Sharyl Attkisson, Brian Kilmeade, Congressman Lee Zeldin, Gordon Chang, John Yoo, Chuck Woolery, and more.   If you're looking for thought-provoking content and common-sense political analysis, you've come to the right place. Give it a shot, and if you like what you hear, please share The P.A.S. Report Podcast with others.   Visit https://pasreport.com, and don't forget to share this episode with family and friends.  

In matters civic, we have great sympathies with empiricist and classical-liberal critics of the recent woke madness induced by Critical Social Theory. And yet... In this episode we distinguish among the many children of the Enlightenment, point out the strengths of the empiricist/liberal tradition but also its corresponding weaknesses that CST exploits, and exhort secular empiricists to reconsider the moral, spiritual, and theological roots of the intellectual tradition that they rightly see as critically endangered.

In China and the Soviet Union ‘dissidents' were disappeared or imprisoned; here, in ‘our cultural revolution,' people are “losing their jobs, losing positions, losing social standing,” says NYU Professor Michael Rectenwald (Rtd.) The ‘American Scholars' education platform is designed to counter this ‘woke,' ‘cancel culture' that is taking hold in American education. Rectenwald is its chief academic officer. Meanwhile, a school choice movement aimed at serving Minnesota's black community is also countering the idea that America is a racist nation. “The people that helped me along the way were white and black, rich and poor, male and female. Americans help each other. They don't put a filter on it,” says its founder Kendall Qualls. Hundreds of academics, including big names, have applied to join ‘American Scholars.'—which is promising American values-based education, and “better bang for your buck” than establishment colleges. Critical race theory is simply a proxy for socialism… It converts Marxist class antagonism into racial antagonism, says Prof. Rectenwald. #CriticalRaceTheory #Meritocracy #AMA

My guest is a great author, a retired professor, and most notably, a Marxist turned libertarian: Dr. Michael Rectenwald. He is here to discuss his recent speech at a Mises Institute event, called "The Google Election". In this talk, Michael goes over the true beginnings of Google and Facebook and shows that, no, they were not "private companies" from the very start. They were funded by fronts of the CIA and other Federal Government bureaucratic entities. He discusses their formations, their controllers, their algorithms, and their effect on American government, politics, and culture.

A few short years ago, Michael Rectenwald was a Marxist professor at NYU, pursuing his career and contemplating becoming a Trotskyist, when the political climate on campus - victimology, cancel-culture, no-platforming, and political correctness run-amok - began to bother him. He responded by creating a Twitter handle, @AntiPCNYUProf (now @TheAntiPCProf), and began bashing campus excesses with humor and biting satire. Predictably, he was soon discovered and pushed out of his job. Rectenwald struck back by publishing Springtime for Snowflakes, a memoir of his experiences in academia, which included criticism and analyses of the leftism now dominating campus culture. He followed that book with Google Archipelago, which delves into the seeming enigma of why big business embraces far-left politics - hint: self-interest is involved - and the rapid growth of consumer/citizen surveillance. The foundation for a robust leftist totalitarianism is being carefully laid. With this new volume, Rectenwald returns with his characteristic sharp wit and incisive analysis and continues to fine tune his critique of modern leftism. In Beyond Woke (The New English Review Press), he brings his unique perspective as an ex-Marxist and civil libertarian to bear on leftist culture, with its abandonment of traditional morality and emphasis on collective social identities - which are ironically increasingly atomized, as overwhelming centrifugal forces break up any previously stable social cohesion. The revolution is here and it's winning. Find out why, and how to combat it. Michael Rectenwald is a recently retired Professor of Liberal Studies at New York University, where he taught cultural and social history as well as academic writing since 2008. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago.

My guest this week is author and former professor, Dr. Michael Rectenwald. Dr. Rectenwald is here to discuss the themes of his latest book, "Beyond Woke". He has a wild story in that he is a former Marxist who saw the light, walked away from the progressive left, and is now a paleo-libertarian. We discuss the origins of Woke culture and its religious foundations. We also get into how to fix the university system (or not) and the endgame that the Woke Left strive for. (Hint: It's getting rid of you and your beliefs.) We also get into the problems with the Libertarian Party kowtowing to a group like BLM.

Michael Rectenwald, author of Beyond Woke and Springtime Snowflakes, calls in to discuss political correctness in modern academia and the postmodern scholars that gave rise to 'woke' culture. Rectenwald talks about his experience of fighting SJWs at New York University; the scholar likens Woke culture to a religious movement, devoid of reason, and obsessive of collective identities. "The more they focus on identities, the more split they get," Rectenwald says as he points out the radical left's self-destructive ideology.

In his book about enormous sea changes brought about by digital technology, Michael Rectenwald begins and ends his Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom (New English Review, 2019) with the political, in particular with the objectives of the Big Digi­tal conglomerates as global corporate monopoly capitalists or would-be-monopolies. Google Archipelago argues that Big Digital technologies and their principals represent not only economic powerhouses but also new forms of governmental power. The technologies of Big Digital not only amplify, extend, and lend precision to the powers of the state, they may represent elements of a new corporate state power. In contrast to academics who study digital media and bemoan such supposed horrors as digital exploitation, in Google Archipelago, Michael Rectenwald argues that the real danger posed by Big Digital is not digital capitalism as such, but leftist authoritarianism, a political outlook shared by academic leftists, who thus cannot recognize it in their object of study. Thus, while imagining that they are radical critics of Big Digital, academic digital media scholars (whom Rectenwald terms the "digitalistas") actually serve as ideological smokescreens that obscure its real character.

Glenn and the “notorious” former NYU professor, Michael Rectenwald, both believe that Big Tech, China, and the Left share similar - authoritarian - goals. Rectenwald’s newest book, “The Google Archipelago,” explores just that. In it, he imagines a world that’s sounding more familiar each day: 5G, AI, transhumanism, constant connection to the internet, and all the possibilities that opens up – digital erasing, book burning, Revelation-style marking, and the creation of what he calls “digital gulags.” In this interview, Glenn and Rectenwald discuss the power we give to Big Tech companies, why they’re helping China control its people, and what’s in store for us. Because, as they note, evil comes dressed fashionably, saying it’s for our own good. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by Dr. Michael Rectenwald, a professor of Global Liberal Studies at NYU. Dr. Rectenwald became an epicenter of controversy at NYU after it was revealed that he was the man behind the Twitter account @AntiPCNYUProf , from which he sent tweets decrying the recent push for "politically correct" speech on his and many other college campuses.  Dr. Rectenwald's journey is fascinating. He was a far left progressive commentator and upon rejecting the Democratic Party after the election of Obama was pushed even further left to become a full-fledged Marxist. But in recent years, social justice and PC culture led to him re-examining the entirely of his political belief system, to the point that he now identifies as a libertarian.

Springtime for Snowflakes: 'Social Justice' and Its Postmodern Parentage is a daring and candid memoir. NYU Professor Michael Rectenwald - the notorious @AntiPCNYUProf - illuminates the obscurity of postmodern theory to track down the ideas and beliefs that spawned the contemporary social justice creed and movement.
