Jimmy and his guest Garland Nixon discuss how conservatives like Sean Hannity and Ben Shapiro, who built their careers mocking liberal "snowflakes" and arguing that college students should be challenged by opposing views, have now completely flipped and are now demanding that pro-Palestinian protests be banned because Jewish students' "feelings are getting hurt" and claiming they "do not feel safe." A viral video shows a student dramatically flopping after a Palestinian flag brushed her face, which was falsely reported as her being "stabbed in the eye," and a crying student begging for protests to stop while declaring "they want us dead."  Garland notes that this reveals there is no guiding principle—only a consistent pattern of saying whatever benefits Zionism, with rules applying to everyone else but never to them. The segment concludes that this is "peak wokeness," with the so-called "woke right" now embracing the very safe-space censorship they once condemned, proving that the entire left-right culture war is a fraud designed to maintain elite control. Plus segments on the next two wars Israel is ALREADY planning, top Democrats marching proudly with Israeli war criminals and proof that democracy in the United States is dead. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Chris Hedges, Garland Nixon and Jamarl Thomas. And a phone call with James Talarico!

What if the anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, hypervigilance, burnout, and relationship struggles you experience today… were never actually "you" to begin with? In this deeply personal and profoundly eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien dives into the hidden nervous system programming formed between the ages of 0 and 8 that silently shapes our adult lives. Drawing from neuroscience, trauma research, attachment theory, epigenetics, somatic healing, and his own emotional breakthroughs, Darin explores how childhood experiences become subconscious operating systems that influence everything from relationships and stress responses to chronic disease and self-worth. This episode is a powerful roadmap toward healing. Darin breaks down the science behind trauma, the ACE study, nervous system dysregulation, emotional patterning, and neuroplasticity, while also sharing practical tools like somatic experiencing, expressive writing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to help listeners begin rewiring their emotional lives from the inside out. What You'll Learn How childhood experiences program the nervous system Why most adult emotional reactions are subconscious survival patterns The connection between trauma, stress hormones, and chronic disease How the nervous system stores emotional experiences in the body Why people pleasing, hypervigilance, burnout, and emotional shutdown develop The science behind neuroplasticity and rewiring the brain What the ACE Study revealed about childhood trauma and adult health How trauma impacts the amygdala, hippocampus, and stress-response systems Why emotional patterns are adaptations, not

They are not your identity. They are not permanent. And through awareness, somatic healing, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and conscious repetition, those deeply rooted patterns can be rewritten into something healthier, freer, and more aligned with who you truly are."

Brian and Glennis are back, this time remote (Glennis is sick, not with hantavirus or Ebola, thanks for asking). And the corruption story of the season just dropped. Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion claiming emotional damages over a leaked piece of his 2019 tax return. A federal judge called it bullshit, brought in legal experts who agreed it was bullshit, then settled by creating a $1.7 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" controlled by five allies of AG Todd Blanche, with no transparency requirements and the explicit purpose of paying out January 6 defendants. Glennis just paid her taxes. Brian explains why this is the most brazen self-dealing in modern American politics.This week, Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of Oath) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of Generator Collective) walk through the slush fund, what it means that taxpayer money is about to flow to people who assaulted police officers at the Capitol, and why Brian thinks the Trump children and several cabinet members are still on a path to prison even if Trump himself never is.Then the corruption deep dive. New reporting that Trump made more than 3,600 individual stock trades in Q1, often on the same day he was visiting manufacturing plants, tweeting about specific companies, or calling into CNBC and Fox News to pump them. His personal net worth has more than doubled in a year. His inner circle is making prediction market trades minutes before Iran announcements move oil. The White House says he has nothing to do with any of it. Brian and Glennis go through the receipts.The political board is also moving fast. Bill Cassidy, the fake moderate Louisiana Republican who voted for all of Trump's nominees and then pretended to be outraged, came in third in his own primary after Trump endorsed against him. He gave a speech that could turn him into a serious thorn in Trump's side on committee votes, nominees, and DHS funding for the rest of his term. Sitting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth flew to Kentucky on duty to campaign against Thomas Massey, the last Republican still pushing on the Epstein files. Trump's approval is now 37%, the lowest of his political career. The Democratic generic ballot is at +11, larger than the 2018 wave. Plus the most expensive House primary in U.S. history (in Kentucky, of all places, where ad buys are cheap), Georgia Supreme Court races that could flip the court by 2028, and a Pennsylvania primary where Shapiro, AOC, and Bernie Sanders all backed the same firefighter.Then the Supreme Court reform conversation Kamala Harris just reopened. Glennis lays out her preference for 18 year term limits and two appointments per president. Brian walks through FDR's court packing threat and what it actually accomplished. And both of them dig into what Republicans just did in Utah and North Carolina, where they literally added seats and reheard cases to overturn rulings they didn't like. The case for Democrats getting comfortable with court reform is no longer theoretical.Plus Three Mile Island is being turned into a data center. AOC is on a community tour about data center siting and the energy bills they leave behind. The Musk versus Altman trial wrapped in two hours. Taco Trump threatened Iran and chickened out by sundown. Telehealth abortion access survived at SCOTUS. And Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida Everglades tarp over a swamp internment camp that cost $1.5 billion, is closing.The midterms are less than six months out and the receipts keep coming.Send us a text!New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week.

Today, we look into the world of conservative political commentary and focus on Ben Shapiro. At the heart of Shapiro's approach to messaging is a bent for spouting more fiction than fact and more emotion than reason.We listened to a Shapiro podcast in which he explains why he doesn't regret voting for President Donald Trump. After hearing Shapiro, we have to wonder if he aligned himself with Trump, not out of conviction, but because doing so yields financial or other rewards.There's a big difference between fact‑based analysis and persuasive advocacy, and much of today's political commentary—like Shapiro's—prioritizes emotion, identity and culture‑war framing over evidence and nuance. His fast‑paced delivery, confident tone and simplified “either/or” narratives create the appearance of logic, but he often leaves out crucial context, competing facts or constitutional concerns.Shapiro unapologetically defends Trump, particularly on issues like immigration, Iran and foreign policy. Shapiro avoids serious issues, such as human rights abuses, government overreach and the long‑term consequences the nation will suffer because of the Trump administration. He also employs fear‑based rhetoric—nuclear weapons and the border chaos—in place of thoughtful debate.That fact that Shapiro has a large audience shows that many people accept political narratives without questioning them. Shapiro capitalizes on human nature. As we see it, many people—on both sides of the aisle—suffer from confirmation bias, emotional attachment, identity protection and prefer “comfortable untruths” over “uncomfortable truths.” And once you capture peoples' attention based on some emotional tug, it's hard for them to change their attitudes.Shapiro and those like him rely on an absence of critical thinking and the reluctance by many to challenge what they hear. Of course, to challenge what you hear requires curiosity and effort, and that requires time and effort, and that's not where many Americans are.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday show built for the big picture. Trump wraps his China summit with Xi, and the White House readout makes no mention of Taiwan, which Chris Paul reads exactly as it should be: the Taiwan crisis is a media fairy tale being dismantled in real time. Xi pledges no weapons to Iran and expresses interest in buying American oil to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump is in Beijing, CIA director Ratcliffe quietly lands in Havana to meet with Cuban officials and Raul Castro's grandson, with CBS simultaneously reporting the US is moving to indict Raul Castro himself. CannCon maps the Venezuela and Iran regime change playbook onto Cuba and asks if 90-mile-away Cuba is next. The House Oversight Committee subpoenas Arabella Advisors' 1630 Fund over the Chorus Program, which paid social media influencers up to $8,000 a month to push Democrat talking points without disclosure. Chris Paul delivers a precise diagnosis of the Daily Wire's collapse, explaining how the Ben Shapiro network was never a product of real political analysis but of algorithm boosting and paid talking points. Chris then lays out his full theory of Trump's discombobulator strategy, explaining how Trump taking every position forces public opposition that resolves false narratives over time.

Mike Diamond met Dr. Shauna Shapiro the way most people did — through her TED Talk. He had just survived a near-fatal episode in 2017 (burst appendix, septic shock, ulcerative colitis, doctors recommending colon removal). He sent the talk to everyone he knew. Years later, when his co-host Dave Mills booked her on their show, Mike opens this episode by telling her: "You don't understand the impact this person had on my life."Dr. Shapiro is a clinical psychologist, the author of the bestselling Good Morning, I Love You (and the companion Good Morning, I Love You Journal), and one of the most-cited researchers on mindfulness and self-compassion in the world. The episode is her full origin story — and a master class in how the brain actually changes.She traces her arc: a teenage volleyball captain with a Duke University scholarship, an orthopedic crisis where her spine threatened to puncture her lungs, six months in a hospital bed, and the book her father gave her almost by accident — Jon Kabat-Zinn's Wherever You Go, There You Are. The first paragraph reframed her future: "Whatever's happened to you, it's already happened. The only question that matters is now what?" That question put her on a plane to Thailand and Nepal three years later, into the monasteries, and eventually into the PhD program where she's now spent more than 25 years studying the field.The conversation goes deep on the gap between what most wellness culture claims about positive thinking versus what neuroscience actually shows. Affirmations in a beta brainwave state don't reach the subconscious. Forced positivity doesn't work because "your brain and nervous system are not stupid." But authentic kindness — even when you don't feel it — bathes the system in dopamine and oxytocin, turns on the learning centers, and creates the conditions for actual healing.She walks Mike through her own three-step practice for handling the inner critic: name the emotion (UCLA research shows naming brings the prefrontal cortex back online), place a hand on the heart with kindness (oxytocin floods the system), and send strength out to others struggling with the same thing (common humanity defeats isolation).The episode closes on her two foundational daily practices: "Good Morning, I Love You" in the morning (when the brain is in a theta state and most trainable), and a one-minute gratitude journal entry at night (your evening mood predicts telomere length, mitochondrial health, and sleep quality, per the research). And if you're ready to commit to more: seven minutes of meditation, five days a week is the empirically-validated sweet spot.What we coverThe TED Talk that changed Mike's life — and how she ended up on his podcast years laterVolleyball captain → Duke scholarship → spinal surgery → six months in a hospital bedHer father, Jon Kabat-Zinn's Wherever You Go, There You Are, and the first paragraph that reframed her futureThree years later: Thailand, Nepal, the monasteriesWhy she didn't believe in "magic" — and pursued a PhD to understand what had happened25+ years of research at the intersection of mindfulness, neuroplasticity, and traumaWorking with breast-cancer patients and military veteransPost-traumatic growth (Marty Seligman) — and why she's hesitant to call suffering "a gift"The neuroscience of why forced positivity doesn't workWhy kindness produces dopamine + oxytocin (the actual chemistry of healing)Her three-step inner-critic practice: name → kindness → common humanityGood Morning, I Love You — the theta-state morning practiceWhy your evening mood predicts your telomeresThe empirical sweet spot: 7 minutes of meditation, 5 days a weekMike pitches her on Project One-Eighty — his documentary concept

What if every time you reached for a packaged snack… you were quietly increasing your risk of a heart attack? In this urgent and deeply personal solo episode, Darin breaks down groundbreaking new research showing that each serving of ultra-processed food may increase cardiovascular risk by over 5%, not over time, but every single time you eat it.

But the moment you become aware, you reclaim your power. Because the same way those choices can slowly take your health away… different choices, repeated daily, can give it all back."
