On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. If you read the news, do you feel your intelligence has been insulted? There's an old saying: those who can't do, teach. When it comes to the media, those who don't know, report. It's been a great week for the U.S. tanker traffic which has almost returned to normal pre-war levels, the price of oil has returned to normal for summer, and the Trump Administration has brokered an agreement between the U.S., Israel and Lebanon. Yet according to the media, the world is terrible. There may be two sides to every story, but there's only one side to facts. So if you think your intelligence has been insulted, you're right. Then, the Senate still can't get its act together and pass the SAVE America Act. Why is this important? Voter fraud has always existed. In Florida, the DOJ announced three arrests of non-citizens for voting in federal elections. Three cases in one week in a red state. How much worse is voter fraud in sanctuary states and cities? With the midterm elections coming up, and voter ID being a 90/10 issue with Americans, we still can't get the SAVE America Act across the finish line. Also, the election integrity project ranks election integrity all over the world. The U.S. scores 54. California's score is 35, lower than Haiti at 37. Between mail-in voting, ballot harvesting and other shenanigans, no wonder they're still counting votes in the CA primary. When you have blue states like CA bent on lowering election standards, federal minimum requirements, like voter ID, must come into play. Finally, the extent of the Democrat's long game is underappreciated. Starting with Saul Alinsky in the 1960s, then with the elections of Bernie Sanders in 1990, Barack Obama in 2004, The Squad in 2018, and Zohran Mamdani in 2025, the Democrats have moved further and further to the hard left. Trump is right: the midterm elections have never been more important. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The boys drink and review Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Extra IPA, then move on to political strategy and methods. Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals remains one of the most influential—and controversial—books on political organizing ever written. In this episode, Pigweed and Crowhill dive into the life and ideas of the Chicago community organizer whose methods have shaped activist movements for generations. From "pick the target" and "keep the pressure on" to the strategic use of ridicule, disruption, and media attention, they unpack Alinsky's famous tactics and examine why they continue to be effective decades after they were first developed.But the conversation goes beyond a simple review of organizing techniques. Are these tactics merely practical tools that can be used by anyone seeking political change, or do they encourage a permanent culture of conflict? Why do modern movements always seem to be searching for the next crisis, the next injustice, or the next cause? Pigweed and Crowhill explore whether activism has become less about solving problems and more about sustaining a mindset of perpetual agitation.Along the way, they discuss Barack Obama's background as a community organizer, Hillary Clinton's connection to Alinsky, Ben Shapiro's surprising praise for some of Alinsky's methods, and the broader question of how political narratives are created, amplified, and maintained. Whether you see Alinsky as a champion of the powerless, a master strategist, or something more troubling, his influence on modern politics is impossible to ignore.
In this episode of The Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen think Christianly about Marxism — not as a political or economic theory, but as a religious worldview offering a counterfeit vision of salvation, history, and liberation. Joe traces Marx's roots in Hegel and Rousseau, unpacks dialectical materialism and conflict theory, and shows why Marxism is a fundamentally destructive project. Drawing on Marx's own writings and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Joe and Michael expose how Marxism parodies the Christian story — borrowing categories like alienation, reformation, justice, and freedom while emptying them of objective content. The result is a messianic vision driven by envy and resentment, with ordinary people serving as the cannon fodder of an undefined utopia. Against this counterfeit, Joe sets the true paradigm of liberation: the Exodus. From Passover blood to Sinai law, the biblical story is recapitulated in Christ — the greater Moses, the greater Joshua, the true Passover Lamb — who delivers his people not into lawless utopia but into a kingdom of righteousness, holiness, and dominion. Marxism offers a savior who covets your stuff. Christianity proclaims the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for the sheep.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com The 13 Rules for Radicals In 1971, community organizer Saul Alinsky published Rules for Radicals, a manual intended for "have-nots" to take power back from the "haves." His tactics focus on pragmatism, psychological warfare, and using an opponent's own rules against them. Here are the 13 tactical rules Alinsky outlined: The 13 Tactics * "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have." If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark; if it's large, flaunt it in the light. * "Never go outside the expertise of your people." If your activists aren't comfortable with a tactic, they will fail or lose morale. * "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy." Look for ways to cause confusion and fear by forcing the opposition to deal with something they haven't practiced for. * "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules." If their rule is "every letter must be answered," send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with their own red tape. * "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." It is almost impossible to counter-attack ridicule. It also infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage. * "A good tactic is one your people enjoy." If people are having fun, they will keep doing it and come up with better ideas. * "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag." Don't let your movement become boring. Commitment has a shelf life. * "Keep the pressure on." Never let the opposition rest or regroup. Use different tactics to keep the pressure constant. * "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself." Imagination and anticipation of what might happen often cause more damage than the actual action. * "If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive." Every move by the opposition can be flipped into a rallying cry for your side. * "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative." Never let the enemy score a point by asking, "Okay, what would you do?" Have a plan ready. * "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Don't attack "the system." Attack a specific person (a CEO, a politician). It's harder for people to ignore or defend a single individual than a nameless institution. * "The most important requirement for the tactic is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." Action is a series of hits; you must keep the momentum going. The Philosophy Alinsky's core argument was that in a fight for power, the ends often justify the means. He believed that the only way to effect change was through direct, often uncomfortable, confrontation. > Note: These rules have been used across the entire political spectrum, from labor unions to modern grassroots tea party movements and digital activists. Comparing the principles in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals with Biblical teachings reveals a fundamental tension between tactical pragmatism and moral absolutes. While both share a concern for the "have-nots" and the pursuit of justice, they differ sharply on the methods used to achieve those ends. Here is how a Biblical perspective might respond to the core themes of Alinsky's work: 1. The Ethics of Means and Ends Alinsky famously argued that "the ethics of means and ends" are relative to the necessity of the situation—essentially, that the end can justify the means if the cause is just. Biblical Response: The Bible generally rejects the idea that a good outcome justifies a sinful method. Scripture emphasizes that the way a person conducts themselves is as important as the goal they seek. Key Principle: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). The pursuit of justice must remain "blameless and innocent" (Philippians 2:15). 2. Ridicule and Polarization (Rules 5 & 13) Alinsky's Rule 5 states, "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon," and Rule 13 advises, "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." These tactics are designed to dehumanize an opponent to make them easier to attack. Biblical Response: The Bible warns extensively against the "scoffer" or "mocker" (Proverbs 21:24) and places a high value on the dignity of all people, including opponents. Key Principle: Jesus' command to "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44) stands in direct opposition to the tactic of "personalizing" and "polarizing" an individual as a target for destruction. 3. Truth vs. Perception Alinsky viewed communication as a tool for power; he suggested that organizers must work within the "experience of the audience," sometimes using exaggeration or strategic deception to maintain momentum. Biblical Response: Biblical ethics are rooted in the concept of absolute truth. Deception, even for a "good" cause, is viewed as a violation of God's character. Key Principle: "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor" (Ephesians 4:25). 4. Points of Convergence: Justice for the Oppressed Where the Bible and Alinsky find common ground is in the diagnosis of social ills. Both recognize that power is often concentrated in the hands of the few at the expense of the many. Biblical Alignment: The Hebrew prophets (like Amos and Isaiah) were "radicals" in their own right, fiercely condemning systemic corruption and the exploitation of the poor. Key Principle: "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow" (Isaiah 1:17). Comparison Table Alinsky's Rule / Concept Biblical Counter-Perspective Tactical Ridicule "Let your speech always be gracious" (Colossians 4:6). Polarization "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9). Power-Centric "Whoever would be great among you must be your servant" (Matthew 20:26). Social Justice "He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty" (Luke 1:53). In summary, the Bible would likely support Alinsky's objective of empowering the marginalized but would reject his methodology of using ridicule, deception, and the polarization of individuals as tools for change. Would you like to explore a specific Biblical case study where a leader successfully challenged an existing power structure? Summary: Power vs. Transformation Ultimately, Alinsky's response to injustice is a struggle for external power. He wants to shift power from the "Haves" to the "Have-Nots." The Bible's response to injustice is a transformation of the human heart, which then works its way outward to change society. It suggests that if you use hatred, ridicule, and polarization to win power, you will simply become the new oppressor once you are at the top.

Scott Hennen is back in the studio after a whirlwind week in D.C. and Arizona, and he's diving straight into the deep end of the national conversation. From the "childish antics" of the State of the Union counter-protests to the high-stakes "War on Fraud" being waged by J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz, this episode pulls no punches. We explore the massive Medicaid funding pause hitting Minnesota, the "spiritual battle" behind America's growing division, and the urgent deadlines facing farmers for crop insurance. Plus, a special look at the "profound" wisdom of listeners who weigh in on why the country feels more split than ever. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03] – The "Swamp" Recap & Giraffe Man Scott reacts to the State of the Union aftermath, specifically the bizarre counter-protests featuring "frog suits" and "giraffe outfits." He questions where the "adults in the room" are within the modern Democratic Party. [00:20] – The War on Fraud: Target Minnesota A deep dive into the announcement by J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding from Minnesota. Scott explains the "fraud tourism" and blatant grift affecting Medicaid and medical device claims. [00:34] – The Transgender Task Force Debate Scott tackles the cultural divide head-on, discussing the push for gender affirmation in schools and sports. He argues for a return to "basic truth" and natural facts, calling the current trajectory "indoctrination." [00:51] – Why Are We So Divided?

Chainsaw Economics It has been two years since Javier Millei took charge of Argentina. Have his results been the devastating chaos some expected? Or is it an amazing improvement they managed to accomplish in only two years? We talk about what has changed and how his results are showing a large improvement in many categories, including inflation, economic growth, exports & trade, employment, and poverty level. We compare his results to the US as well as discuss other times in history that leaders have taken big actions. We also discuss the changes in gold and silver price as well as Saul Alinsky's 8 levels of control that transform a nation to communism. Too many countries are taking actions that will remove freedoms and send their citizens into poverty. While that makes it easier for governments to control people, it is not better for the people themselves. We can not change anything if we do not acknowledge that the problem exists. Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and how we can make the world a better place!

A Tirania da Urgência: Saul Alinsky, Poder e a Crise do Ministério é um episódio de discernimento espiritual e institucional. Partindo da figura de Saul Alinsky (1909–1972) e de seu Rules for Radicals, analisamos a lógica do conflito permanente, da pressão contínua e da “engenharia da percepção” como gramática moderna de poder — e como essa racionalidade pode se infiltrar na Igreja não por ideologia declarada, mas por métodos silenciosos. Em diálogo com Eric Voegelin, examinamos a tentação gnóstica de “salvar o mundo por técnica”: quando eficácia substitui santidade, urgência substitui formação, e mobilização toma o lugar do discipulado. O episódio desce do plano teórico para o pastoral: instabilidade crônica, transferência pastoral como cultura, colapso do enraizamento, custo invisível para esposas e filhos, e a transformação do ministério em função, não vocação. Por fim, propomos um caminho de resistência: a Igreja como comunidade alternativa (não vanguarda revolucionária), o governo representativo como teologia encarnada, e a escatologia adventista como antídoto à tirania da urgência — resgatando tempo redimido, memória, vínculos e fidelidade ao Cordeiro.
Em 1940, Chaplin ridicularizou Hitler e quebrou a aura do medo. Hoje, o ridículo virou arma de guerra política: não se debate ideia, se destrói gente. Neste episódio, pegamos o Rules for Radicals, de Saul Alinsky, e mostramos o método por trás da indignação fabricada: escolher um alvo, congelar, personalizar e polarizar.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's new information that contradicts what the Democrats and their media have been saying about Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent. There's been an effort to portray her as a non-activist, but she was a Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch' ‘warrior' who was trained to resist the feds before the shooting. The Democrat party and their media are responsible for this shooting with their violent rhetoric. Also, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are the worst type of grifters. There are enemies to people of deep Christian faith, Jews, patriotic Americans supporting President Trump, and those opposing the rise of Islamism and Marxism in the country. These grifters, motivated by millions in profits from a niche audience, have abandoned their past personas to preach anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism, Christian-bashing, and America-hating, stabbing Trump and his supporters in the back while using Saul Alinsky tactics to target, personalize, and assassinate characters, often Jews. Later, 17 Republicans joined Democrats in a 230-196 passage of a three-year extension of expired Obamacare health care tax credits. This extension, unlikely to pass the Senate unchanged, imposes tens of billions in costs on taxpayers without systemic reforms, perpetuating inefficient, second-class government-run health care akin to Bernie Sanders' proposals. Afterward, Iran enforced a nationwide internet blackout as protests demanding the removal of the Islamic government and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei escalated across cities. Protesters chanted "Death to Khamenei" and "freedom, freedom." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey there, fuckos. Welcome back to another Monday Motivation—your weekly reminder that your brain is not just for storing old passwords and random Die Hard quotes.I'm FWACATA—your art dad, your creative comrade, your podcaster-shouter of truths.And today's episode? The Joy of Learning.Not the homework kind. Not the “show your work on the math problem” kind.I'm talking about learning as fuel. The good shit.Now, I know what you're thinking:“Learning? Didn't I leave that back in high school, right next to my bad haircut and my crippling acne?”Yeah, me too. But here's the thing—learning isn't punishment. It's fuel. It's rocket fuel for your brain-car. Without it? You're just Fred Flintstoning your way through projects, barefoot on gravel, wondering why everything feels stale.When I was working for the Hormel family as an art archivist—yes, that Hormel family—my boss used to say, “I don't want to hear ‘I don't know.' I want to hear ‘I'll find out.'” That stuck with me. “I don't know” isn't an answer. It's an excuse. And excuses are where ideas go to die.Here's a dirty little secret: Talent is just passion times time.That's it. No magic, no divine spark from the art gods. Just passion, multiplied by time, multiplied by the hours you put in.Learning is what accelerates that equation. It's the turbo boost, the NOS in your Fast & Furious brain.And here's the kicker: the learning doesn't even have to be “useful.”Saul Alinsky studied sea urchins. David Bowie read about space exploration.Me? I spent an entire afternoon learning about raccoons. And now I can't stop drawing them like they're plotting world domination.Sometimes the weirdest, most random knowledge is exactly what sparks the coolest ideas.Take Kim Jung Gi—the late, great Korean artist. Absolute monster talent. Guy could draw helicopters, motorcycles, and entire battlefields straight out of his head.Why? Because he studied everything. He took apart scooters and sketched every part. He drew the same engines, gears, and pistons over and over until he understood them.That's the power of learning. When you absorb knowledge, it becomes part of your mental toolbox. You're not just copying anymore—you're creating.Look, learning keeps you alive. Without it, your brain turns into that one potato in the pantry—the one you forgot about—that sprouts alien tentacles and freaks you out when you find it.Curiosity is oxygen. It keeps your art fresh, keeps your perspective sharp, and keeps you from turning into that jaded asshole who thinks they've got nothing left to learn.So here's my challenge for you this week:Pick one thing—just one—that you don't know… and dive into it.Learn a new recipe.Read about an artist you've never heard of.Watch a tutorial on how to play the ukulele. (You don't even need to own one. That's not the point.)The point isn't mastery. The point is movement. Learning humbles you. And it energizes you.So celebrate the joy of learning. Stay curious. Stay weird. Stay that person who always asks why—even if it annoys the hell out of everyone around you.Because curiosity isn't childish. Curiosity is how you stay alive. And when you pour that new knowledge into your art—your writing, your music, your Nicholas Cage hot-glue sculptures—you'll find inspiration waiting like an old friend.That's it for this week's Monday Motivation.Stay curious. Stay weird. And as always—be good.

Some events divide history. 911 did it, Covid lockdowns did it and the recent shooting of Charlie Kirk did it as well. Since the tragic event Charlie’s organization has had 18,000 request for new chapters, they only had 9,000 at the time of his shooting. The giant is now awake and he’s picked up the left’s favorite play book, Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. The left might be about to find out, that book is a play book but it was not written the left. It was writing for those not in power to take power. Today we will … Continue reading →
A new analysis of the One Big Beautiful Law reveals a $3700 tax cut per American, no matter where you live or how much you make. Remember: EVERY SINGLE democrat voted down the bill that avoids a significant tax hike for 62% of the country. WHY? Ed Martin says anyone connected to the J6 Committee sham show should watch their mailboxes for investigative notices. Gavin Newsom's threat to redistrict California in opposition to Texas is wildly unpopular among Californians. Plus why Saul Alinsky's book Rules For Radicals explains the progressive implosion of the democrat party.
Hour 3 for 8/18/25 Drew and Dr. Paul Kengor talked Ozzy Ozbourne and hell (1:00), what the mystics say about hell (8:17), and why Saul Alinsky wanted to go there (16:17). Then, Msgr. Charles Pope covered what to do if a family member is on the path to hell (29:51)) and if one mortal sin sends you to hell (42:27).

SBC pastor introduces motion to abolish ERLC...and what direction i think this will go if Christians don't stand up fast. Biblically-minded folks in the SBC need to wake up to the reality that these progressive activists are playing the long game. What we're seeing now might look like a slap on the wrist—but don't be fooled. They've already taken five steps forward, and now they'll take one step back to appease the masses. That one step back will feel significant enough that many will wrongly believe the issue has been resolved. But it's classic Saul Alinsky strategy.Conservatives must stop playing defense. It's time to go for the throat on this. The ERLC must be dismantled.
Cultural and Media CritiquesDisney's Hypocrisy and Cultural Influence (00:06:44 - 00:21:52)Travis exposes Disney's contradictory stance, operating a UAE theme park despite local anti-homosexuality laws while promoting progressive agendas in the U.S. He labels Disney a “grooming syndicate” driven by greed, citing Bob Iger's opposition to Florida's anti-grooming bill and inappropriate content in Star Wars: Andor as evidence of cultural manipulation.Critique of Modern Art and Hollywood (00:24:24 - 00:27:14)Travis denounces Hollywood and modern art for their soulless, ironic output, citing a Luigi Mangione musical as disrespectful. He accuses them of Marxist influences (e.g., Saul Alinsky) and spinelessness, failing to engage reality with depth or sincerity.Encouraging Christian Art (00:30:34 - 00:33:55)Travis calls for Christians to create art to counter demonic cultural influences, praising Doctor Universalis for its depiction of communion and emphasizing self-publishing's accessibility as a tool for cultural resistance.Hollywood's Decline and AI Art (00:36:29 - 00:39:07)Travis attributes Hollywood's decline to satanic influences and corporate control (e.g., BlackRock). He notes AI-generated art replicates vapid content, lacking depth and serving corporate quotas, reflecting a broader cultural decay.Political and Bureaucratic IssuesNew Pope's Background (01:03:09 - 01:06:25)Travis discusses the new American pope, Robert Prevost (Pope Leon XIV), highlighting his opposition to same-sex marriage and gender studies. He criticizes the media's focus on political metrics (e.g., Trump support) over theological substance.China-Russia Alliance (01:39:39 - 01:44:46)Travis warns of Xi Jinping and Putin's alliance to counter Western hegemony, noting their pursuit of power rather than anti-globalism. He predicts escalating U.S. conflict as a result of this geopolitical shift.Bureaucracy's Treason (01:50:50 - 01:54:22)Travis invokes Julien Benda's The Treason of the Clerics to critique intellectuals' political passions, calling Trump weak for failing to confront bureaucratic resistance and questioning his commitment to reform.War and Its ImpactsWar's Brutality in Storm of Steel (01:19:47 - 01:26:39)Travis reflects on Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel, reading passages about World War I's romanticized yet brutal reality. He rejects notions of “safe” war, emphasizing its unchanging horror through vivid soldier experiences.Technology and SocietyAI in Courtroom (00:41:25 - 00:43:50)Travis finds an AI-generated victim impact statement in an Arizona courtroom alarming, warning of future psychological programming abuses and comparing it to dystopian scenarios.Automotive Industry (Eric Peters Interview)Loss of Driving Freedom (02:06:05 - 02:09:27)Travis and Eric lament the erosion of driving freedom due to regulations, high costs, and police presence. Eric sees an agenda to discourage car ownership, contrasting past affordability with modern constraints.Car Complexity and Debt Cycles (02:12:36 - 02:15:27)Eric and Travis critique modern cars' complexity and planned obsolescence, which trap consumers in debt. They view cars as shackles rather than symbols of freedom, reflecting broader societal control.Authoritarian Aesthetics (02:21:46 - 02:24:48)Eric links bland, uniform car designs to authoritarian ugliness (e.g., East Germany), while Travis mourns homogenized city skylines, both seeing a loss of beauty driven by regulatory and corporate forces.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

As of March 2025, Elon Musk, the richest person in the world according to Bloomberg, was valued to be worth 311 billion dollars. To help put this quantity in perspective: In order for the average middle-class person earning around $45,000 a year to earn even $1 billion, they would have to devote all their time to work, while spending nothing, for over 21,000 years—that is, longer than human history. Given the extent of dire need across the world, it seems grossly unethical for anyone to have that kind of money. From a Catholic perspective, we need to take seriously not only concerns rooted in natural law ethics, regarding the flourishing of the person and the common good, but also traditional teachings about the moral obligations around money. Scripture is filled with warnings about the serious, possibly eternal punishments in store for those who hoard wealth at the expense of the poor. Does that mean billionaires are going to hell? On this episode of Glad You Asked, hosts Emily Sanna and Rebecca Bratten Weiss talk to moral theologian Nicholas Hayes-Mota about the Catholic Church's teaching on wealth and whether amassing vast amounts of money is a sin. Hayes-Mota is a social ethicist and public theologian whose research interests include the theology of community organizing, Catholic social thought, contemporary virtue ethics, democratic theory, and AI ethics.

On this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano welcomes John Fawcett, host of The Great America Show, to discuss how President Trump's policies are changing the game as he moves at an unprecedented pace to reshape the country. While some short-term pain may be inevitable, these bold actions set the stage for potential long-term prosperity. John explains why it's time to shift focus from Wall Street to Main Street, the current disarray within the Democrat Party, and the rare unity among Republicans. We also examine America's two-decade decline and whether Trump's policies can truly reverse the trend. Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the future of America's political and economic landscape. Episode Highlights: • Trump's rapid policy moves: short-term pain for long-term national gain. • The decline of Wall Street's dominance and the renewed focus on Main Street. • Can a unified Republican Party stay together, and what challenges lie ahead?

NTD has produced a special TV series adapted from the book “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World,“ by the editorial team of ”Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.“ Watch the ninth episode, ”Infiltrating the West Pt. 3,” here. When the street revolution of Western youths was in full swing in the 1960s, there was one who dismissed their naivety, sincerity, and idealism. “If the real radical finds that having long hair sets up psychological barriers to communication and organization, he cuts his hair,” he said. The man was Saul Alinsky, a radical activist who wrote books, taught students, and personally oversaw the implementation of his theories, eventually becoming the “para-communist” agitator with the most baneful influence for decades. Aside from his worship of Lenin and Castro, Alinsky also explicitly praised the devil himself. In his book Rules for Radicals, one of the epigraphs says, “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
Barack Obama is, in my judgment, the most successful disciple maker, politically speaking, in recent times. Mao was a disciple maker. Hitler was the disciple maker. Stalin was the disciple maker. Now, Obama is not putting people in death camps, yet. Barack Hussein Obama was a disciple of Saul Alinsky, who was a disciple of who? Lucifer. We'll also dig back into the Secret Service, what they chose not to do, and in my judgment, how they left a door open for an assassination attempt.What does God's Word say? Matthew 5:1-125 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.The BeatitudesHe said:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.Episode 1,734 Links:Barack Obama sometimes speaks the truth"B*tch.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were inspired by and followed the ‘Rules for Radicals' doctrine found in Saul Alinsky's 1971 book. We should be able to identify the tactics the left uses because our own reactions mostly feed right into their playbook. Why give the ‘enemy' what they expect you to give them? Making sense of things like intersectionality will help us understand how we...
The Best Of Mark Levin This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Biden is desperate to hold on to power and will do anything to keep it. Biden's use of immigration for votes is contemptible. There's a reason he is doing this now. He and his regime are looking at any and every way to use the law, budget, policy, executive orders, and the rest to buy votes. President Biden is an expert at repeating the lies of the Democrat Marxists, just like Barack Obama and other students of Saul Alinsky who destroy, smear, and character assassinate political opponents. Biden is destroying the electoral system in order to ensure he cannot lose, all while acting as though he is the candidate who will save our democracy. The Democrat party has been conquered once and for all by people who have rejected the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Biden and Democrats accuse Donald Trump of doing everything that they are guilty of, which is typical behavior for a Marxist. President Biden is violating the law left and right with immigration and mass amnesty, and yet Conservatives have not done enough to show that Biden is the fascistic dictator who hates Democracy and is creating the disaster we're living in every day. The Biden Administration has been exposed for withholding and delaying shipments of weapons to Israel, and after being called out publicly by Benjamin Netanyahu they have doubled down on their lie. President Biden, Antony Blinken, the State Department, and the Democrat media are all lying to us about Israel. Mark Levin Podcast Jun 22 2024 Other Episodes Mark Levin is highly recommended by ACU.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, President Biden is an expert at repeating the lies of the Democrat Marxists, just like Barack Obama and other students of Saul Alinsky who destroy, smear, and character assassinate political opponents. Biden is destroying the electoral system in order to ensure he cannot lose, all while acting as though he is the candidate who will save our democracy. The Democrat party has been conquered once and for all by people who have rejected the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Biden and Democrats accuse Donald Trump of doing everything that they are guilty of, which is typical behavior for a Marxist. Also, Biden, Antony Blinken, and Jake Sullivan have been slow-walking ammunition to Israel and preventing Israel from buying certain types of ammunition, all in an attempt to make Benjamin Netanyahu look incompetent. Netanyahu released a video to tell the Biden administration that enough is enough and they need to support Israel and stop funding Iran and their terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Finally, Mark is joined by Turning Point USA founder and author Charlie Kirk to talk about Democrat wokeism and the counter-revolution to this Marxist movement taking over America, and also to discuss his new book, Right Wing Revolution: How to Beat the Woke and Save the West.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Senator Bernie Sanders pretends he's a Democratic Socialist, but he's actually a Marxist Stalinist who's always on the wrong side of liberty vs tyranny. Bernie puts ideology and his party ahead of everything else. He's learned what Saul Alinsky taught - target, personalize, and destroy and that's exactly what he's trying to do with Benjamin Netanyahu. Bernie has backed the Palestinian terrorists. The Biden Administration is considering bringing Palestinian refugees into the United States according to documents obtained by CBS News. President Biden and Antony Blinken are plotting to bring an unknown number of people from Gaza into America and fast-track them as citizens without any statutory authority from Congress because we are living in a Biden dictatorship. Red-blooded Americans are waking up and have had enough of the Democrat Marxists destroying our country from within, who are now trying to import people from Gaza while we have protests tearing down the American flag and replacing it with the Palestinian flag.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Bernie Sanders pretends he's a Democratic Socialist, but he's actually a Marxist Stalinist who's always on the wrong side of liberty vs tyranny. Bernie puts ideology and his party ahead of everything else. He's learned what Saul Alinsky taught - target, personalize, and destroy and that's exactly what he's trying to do with Benjamin Netanyahu. Bernie has backed the Palestinian terrorists. Remember when Bernie Sanders worked on a Stalinist kibbutz in 1963? This is why he hates Netanyahu. Also, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is threatening to issue criminal arrest warrants against Netanyahu and his senior staff. Rather than tell the ICC that America won't tolerate this – President Biden has been silent. Speaker Mike Johnson is far more presidential than Biden because he slammed the ICC for these warrants. Later, Biden and Antony Blinken have blood on their hands for the October 7th attack on Israel. They take no responsibility for funding Iran. Why do we keep seeing a looped video of the Gaza Strip but no video of what happened on October 7th on TV? By not showing it they are giving aid and comfort to the terrorists. October 7th should never be forgotten. Afterward, a Fund manager indicated that Joe Biden's brother, James Biden was in business with Qatari officials. But Joe doesn't know anything right? The idea that there's not a special counsel investing the entire Biden family is so shameful. Finally, Sen Ted Cruz calls in to explain that the same paid pro-Hamas protestors who are outside his house harassing his neighborhood are the same ones on the college campuses. He explains that antisemitism is a real problem in the Democrat Party, and that this is the most anti-Israel administration in history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Breaking news: Nate's son Rory is a senior at Columbia University where, late last night (Monday April 29th), a mob of professional protestors advocating intifada and abolition of Israel climbed through dorms and tried take possession of a university building. Only Rory and his friend Charles stood up to bullies at the door of Hamilton Hall, defying hundreds of protestors, some professional antifa types, slinging threats and trying to pull them away with human chains and the crush of the crowd. Nate calls this moment of bravery Rory's "true graduation", and describes how he and his wife couldn't be prouder as parents. When campus security and actual police failed to respond, other Christian friends pulled the students away and the Hall was taken, windows smashed, and the protestors barricaded themselves inside. But the moment -- two calm students facing a mob of masked protestors in shemaghs -- was a perfect example of flipping the script and making a lie of the pro-Palestinian bullies' claim to be the oppressed. Nate and Brian break down the whole event, including how Christians can learn from radicals like Saul Alinsky by applying Doug Wilson's Rules for Reformers. When you see a bully, you shouldn't be doing "wuss calculus" about whether you will win. That kind of math can happen later. To quote Nate's novel Dandelion Fire, "Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it. The greatest heroes stand because it is right to do so, not because they believe they will walk away with their lives. Such selfless courage is a victory in itself." Congratulations on your graduation, Rory! #SASF #StoriesAreSoulFood #BreakingNews #ColumbiaUniveristy #ProPalestine #Intifada #NDWilson #DouglasWilson #TuckerCarlson #ProudParents
Gary discusses tactics of Christian resistance that can be learned from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Scotland has recently made reporting "hate speech" easier and they are being inundated with cases. Author J. K. Rowling has even gotten involved. It all reminded Gary of an article written by Dr. Gary North years ago.

Why resistance isn't always a bad thing.Friction — that's Professor Huggy Rao's metaphor for the forces that hamper workplace efficiency. But as he says, some friction can be helpful — if you know how to use it.In his book, The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder, Rao and coauthor Robert I. Sutton explore how operational obstacles show up in the workplace and, more importantly, what we can do about them. Through what Rao calls “friction fixing,” leaders can “take out the bad friction to make the right things easy to do [and] put in good friction to make the wrong things harder [to do].”As Rao discusses with host Matt Abrahams on this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, leaders can eliminate bad friction through good communication. “Communication matters a lot,” he says. “The simple rule is, make sure a 10-year-old can understand it on the first try.”Episode Reference Links:Huggy Rao: Website Huggy's Books: The Friction Project, Scaling Up Excellence, & Market Rebels Huggy's Successful Communication Recipe - “Ah!
