Podcasts about Americans

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the new word the Marxists are using to justify the fundamental transformation of America is affordability.  Marxist regimes produce shortages, impoverishment, and dislocation—not prosperity. This is equality in destitution, enforced by coercion and a police state. New York is expensive due to soft-Marxism: rent controls, high taxes, smothering regulations, powerful unions. It will depopulate workers and businesses, attracting destitute, welfare recipients, and illegal aliens. As unlivable, Marxist grip tightens with unhinged rhetoric. Marxism is failed, inhumane, evil, attracting demagogues like Zohran Mamdani, akin to young Fidel Castro claiming democracy.  Over time, the tension between institutional constraints and self-aggrandizement erodes safeguards, turning them into facades that enable soft negative power. The result is authoritarian democracy, which is what Mamdani is promoting. Also, wealth redistribution is destructive to wealth creation, as it discourages producers who may reduce output, stop, or relocate (e.g., fleeing New York City), leaving less to redistribute. It's a flawed idea requiring surrender of individual liberty to inexperienced ideologues, historically causing mass starvation and death. True equality means just laws for all, not unattainable economic equality . Instead, we should celebrate freedom and capitalism, enabling ordinary Americans—like plumbers or drivers—to enjoy abundant choices and live better than past kings, while government represents socialism and individuals embody capitalism. Success, once valued, is now undermined by DEI. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Data from Gallup and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Americans are reading fewer books and spending less time reading than ever. There's been reporting on college kids struggling to finish longer texts. And earlier this year, in a viral post, one user lamented their loss of concentration for reading, which led to a larger online discourse about how to approach books again. Brittany revisits her convo with Elaine Castillo, author of the book How to Read Now, and Abdullah Shihipar, Research Associate at the People, Place and Health collective at Brown University, to get into why reading books is on the decline, the battle for our attention, and what people can do to get their reading grooves back.This episode originally published February 3, 2025.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline — 988 — launched on this day exactly three years ago. People who call the line seeking support are connected to a local network of crisis centers and a trained crisis counselor.

Donald Trump is being raked over the coals by his own supporters for downplaying the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and defending allies like Pam Bondi, despite previously promising transparency and accountability.  In this video Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger accuse Trump and other political elites—across both parties—of protecting powerful figures implicated in Epstein's activities to avoid exposure of broader systemic corruption and blackmail networks. Trump's attempt to dismiss the issue as a "radical left" conspiracy has clearly backfired, resulting in widespread backlash even from the MAGA faithful on Truth Social. Plus segments on libertarian Dave Smith's warm reception at a TPUSA event after saying Israel is not the United States' ally, Tucker Carlson railing against greedy elites for killing the American Dream and the whistleblower revealing massive geoengineering projects underway in the U.S.

One of the biggest cuts included in President Donald Trump's recent tax and spending bill is to Medicaid, the federal program that provides health insurance to low-income Americans and people with disabilities. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it would lose $1 trillion over the next ten years.Republicans say these changes address fraud and waste in the Medicaid program. But some rural hospitals and states warn it could have devastating effects.We break down what those changes mean for you.Want to support 1A?

Michael Popok at The Intersection, as he takes on and takes down: 1) Trump, his close Epstein relationship and now MAGA now suspects that Trump is IN the covered-up files, and is not dismantling the deep state and chasing this conspiracy because he is "soft" on pedophilia and protecting Children; 2) scandal-scarred AG Pam Bondi leading a brain-drain at the DOJ enabled by the Supreme Court, as 70 Trump DOJ lawyers have quit rather than defend his policies in Court, and Bondi has fired another 2 dozen senior lawyers and replaced them with partisan hacks; 3) Trump lackey and former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove may not be getting that coveted appeals court seat after all, as Senator Corey Booker calls for the whistleblowers to come forward and testify against Bove; 4) Trump-enomics is failing, as Americans suffer with much higher prices on everything, as Trump warps his economic policies by being beholden to the Crypto industry, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and the defense of our democracy.

Until recently, Lina Khan was the chair of the Federal Trade Commission. Under her leadership, the FTC went after the anti-competitive tactics of tech giants, finalized rules to ban non-compete clauses, enforced the right to repair, and even took on ever-loathsome junk fees. Despite the limit resources of her department, Chair Khan made such undeniable strides in improving the lives of everyday Americans that even notable hardlined MAGA Republicans like Steve Bannon seemed to support her. Though Trump's second term meant the end of her time with the FTC, it feels like what she accomplished is potentially the start of something bigger. This week, Adam is rejoined by Former FTC Chair Lina Khan to discuss the groundswell of support for anti-corporate legislation and what comes next for corporate power in America.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

Six years after the death of financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, conspiracy theories still captivate the minds of Americans on both sides of the aisle. Last week, the Justice Department, FBI, and president Trump released a memo in an attempt to quell the MAGA movement's fixation with Epstein's case. Shawn McCreesh, White House reporter for the New York Times, explains how this plan backfired and why this case remains a part of the American imagination.

Real average hourly earnings fell in June. Just one month of data doesn't make a trend, but forces at work in both the labor market and inflation data could further eat into Americans' wages. We'll unpack. Then, President Donald Trump's bill to claw back federal funding for foreign aid programs and public broadcasting could get a final vote in the Senate today. Plus, the Department of Defense is investing in a U.S.-based rare earth mining company.

Since January, Americans have had serious concerns about Elon Musk's DOGE (the “Department of Government Efficiency”) and the privacy of our personal data. The government used to have careful guardrails in place to protect our information. Only certain people, after careful background checks, were given access. But DOGE was given unprecedented access to all of our data, across departments and agencies. And because Trump fast-tracked DOGE with an executive order, employees didn't have to go through the same background checks and screenings. Many were teenagers, including the now infamous 19-year-old hacker whose online name is (sigh) “Big Balls.”Okay, but Elon is gone now. So does that mean DOGE is over? Unfortunately, no. DOGE was never an official government agency (it just hijacked the existing US Digital Service), and Elon Musk was never officially in charge of it, so even without Elon, the work continues. A former DOGE employee is now the chief of staff at the Department of Energy, for example, and two former DOGE members are now senior officials at the Environmental Protection Agency. “Big Balls” himself is now working at the Social Security Administration.Meanwhile, Peter Thiel—another billionaire and the founder of the tech company Palantir—has been working to build a massive, government-run database of Americans. The goal is a one-stop shop with all of our information, from tax returns to medical records, all in the same place. You know, exactly the thing the government has always known not to do.Privacy used to be nonpartisan. Back in the 1970s, Republican Senator Charles Percy said, “I hope that we never see the day when a bureaucrat in Washington can use his organization's computer facilities to assemble a complete dossier of all known information about an individual.” Even in the past few years, data privacy has been an issue that transcends political parties.So reach out to your representatives, no matter where you live, to let them know that you don't want billionaires to have your data. And if all of this feels too overwhelming, try getting involved in your local community. We might not be able to do much about what's happening with our information, but we can make things better for our neighbors.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, to explore the growing disconnect between the American people and their government. He explains why Americans no longer trust government and how to fix it. As public trust continues to erode, Meckler breaks down how entrenched bureaucracy, unpunished corruption, and an unaccountable political class have warped the system beyond recognition. They also discuss the potential of third-party movements like Elon Musk's and why the Convention of States may be the only real solution to restore constitutional principles, enforce term limits, and rein in runaway spending. Episode Highlights: The Convention of States offers a constitutional path to implement term limits, enforce fiscal restraints, and shrink the federal bureaucracy. Elon Musk's rumored third-party movement could fracture the GOP and reshape political coalitions. America's unelected bureaucratic class now functions as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America explore Chapter 6 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, delving into the tension between ordered liberty and oppressive regulation. They highlight stories of ordinary Americans, foster parents sidelined over faith, hair braiders and eyebrow threaders crushed by arbitrary licensing laws, and recovering addicts devastated by pandemic isolation. The reading underscores how overreaching rules, from cosmetology mandates to emergency COVID edicts, systematically erode community bonds and self-reliance. The hosts reflect on the paradox of laws meant to protect freedom but increasingly used to control dissent, shut down small businesses, and undermine civic trust. Drawing connections to modern ideological warfare and the deliberate centralization of authority, they share frustrations and cautionary lessons. The conversation closes with a call to reclaim sovereignty by resisting demoralization, defending the right to associate, and standing firm against bureaucratic overreach.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Trump's Tariffs Paying Off The economic impact of Trump-era tariffs, with the hosts highlighting a rare federal budget surplus in June 2025. They argue that despite media narratives, tariffs have not triggered significant inflation and instead have generated substantial revenue. The conversation also critiques Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for high interest rates, which they claim have frozen the housing market and stifled economic growth. The hosts advocate for rate cuts to stimulate recovery, pointing to record-high stock market performance and strong job growth under Trump’s second term. Gov. Gavin Salesman Clay and Buck analyze California Governor Gavin Newsom’s national ambitions, suggesting he is positioning himself as a frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. They critique Newsom’s evasive responses on controversial issues like transgender policies and youth gender surgeries, portraying him as a polished but insubstantial figure who avoids taking firm stances. The discussion frames Newsom as emblematic of a Democratic strategy that relies on charm and ambiguity rather than policy clarity. Illegal Immigration Realities Deep dive into the pressing issues surrounding illegal immigration, border security, and the economic impact of immigration policies in the United States. The hosts open with a discussion on the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE facility near the Everglades, using it as a springboard to critique the media’s portrayal of immigration enforcement and the emotional narratives often used by the political left. A major theme throughout this hour is the economic burden of illegal immigration, with Clay and Buck arguing that the influx of undocumented migrants contributes to rising housing costs, overcrowded emergency rooms, and inflated hotel prices—particularly in cities like New York City. They highlight how Airbnb regulations and the use of hotels to house migrants have disrupted local markets, driving up costs for everyday Americans. Can You Believe This Question? Media bias and cultural influence, particularly in sports journalism. Clay and Buck react to a viral moment from the MLB All-Star Game press conference, where a reporter from Defector confronted MLB officials over Georgia’s voting laws. Clay and Buck criticize what they call “agenda journalism” and highlight the irony of punishing Atlanta—a majority Black city—for state-level legislation.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade three years ago, the question of abortion's legality and availability returned to the states. As of now, abortion remains broadly legal in more than 30 states and Washington, D.C. In some, like Kansas, Missouri and Montana, abortion is still legal largely because of voters. But while Trump spent a lot of time on the campaign trail trying to avoid the topic of abortion, his new tax and spending law proves that the GOP has stayed laser focused on restricting the rights of everyday Americans. It contains a provision that prevents health care nonprofits like Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion care provider, from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for one year for ANY services – even those not related to abortion. Mary Ziegler, a professor at UC Davis School of Law who focuses on the history and politics of reproduction, healthcare and conservatism, explains how the new law could limit your ability to access health care and threaten Planned Parenthood.And in headlines: Trump announced the U.S. will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine, a bunch of states sued the Trump administration for withholding money for after-school care and English language programs, and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he'll stay in the race to be New York City's next mayor.Show Notes:Check out Mary's work – workstatecourtreport.org/about/mary-zieglerCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Just two weeks ago, New Yorkers voted en masse for a self-proclaimed socialist—someone who once called for “seizing the means of production.” This is, of course, Zohran Mamdani, who dominated in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor with a definitive victory over Andrew Cuomo. He has called for rent freezes, free buses, and even government-run grocery stores. He won 56 percent of the vote in a campaign fueled by young, highly educated, wealthy people—many of whom believe in reviving socialism here in America, in 2025. According to a Cato Institute poll from May: 62 percent of Americans age 18 to 29 say they hold a “favorable view” of socialism. And 34 percent had a positive view of communism. Polls by Emerson and Marist from May and June had shown Mamdani leading with voters under 45 by as much as a 2:1 ratio against the former governor. This phenomenon has left many people wondering: Why are so many young people embracing a failed economic system? Is it their university education? Is it the influence of social media? Is it just “cool”? Is it a desperate call for anything to fix wealth inequality? Or is it something else? Here to help us understand are Tyler Cowen and Kyla Scanlon. Tyler Cowen is an economist and Free Press columnist who just wrote an important essay for us called “Why Won't Socialism Die?” Kyla Scanlon is a writer, economic commentator, and educator—and, importantly for this conversation, a member of Gen Z. She is 28, and her new book is In This Economy? How Money & Markets Really Work.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is projected to cut Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion. The law changes eligibility rules, and some predictions estimate at least 10.5 million people will be eliminated from the program. “For some adults, Medicaid will step in and help pay for care at home, or if care at home is not available, for care in nursing homes,” said Rachel Werner, executive director of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. “With the cuts to Medicaid funding, we are expecting that the availability of care in both of those settings will diminish, and it will be harder for people to get the care they need to live independently.” States will have to respond to the changes by either making up the funding gap or reducing services. On the show today, Werner explains how the funding cuts could limit the caregiving options for older Americans who need at-home care and place a larger responsibility on their families. Plus, we discuss how to start planning for long-term care amid all the legislative changes.Then, we'll celebrate a listener's win about her chocolate lab puppy. And, another listener's quest to find life on Mars.Here's everything we talked about today:“How Medicaid Cuts Could Force Millions Into Nursing Homes” from The Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania“Advocates warn that Medicaid cuts in the big budget law put home-based health care at risk” from Marketplace“New AARP Report: Majority of Adults 50-plus Want to Age in Place, But Policies and Communities Must Catch Up” from AARP“A Closer Look at the Medicaid Work Requirement Provisions in the “Big Beautiful Bill” from KFF“Medicaid cuts: The how and why” from the newsletter Your Local Epidemiologist“As the need for nursing homes grows, nurses are in short supply” from MarketplaceWe love hearing from you.

A longtime friend and colleague of host Bob Safian, Ignatius shares some of the most critical lessons he's learned in decades of covering business and leadership, as well as dissecting the most hot button issues today — from Elon Musk's conflicting priorities, to AI's impact on media, and what Americans most misunderstand about China.

Trickle-downers love to pretend that "Econ 101" is a convincing argument against policies like the minimum wage that invest in working Americans. But the truth is that mainstream economists are terrible at predicting how the economy will behave in the future…Is Econ 101 broken? In this key foundational episode for the podcast, we dismantle the myths of orthodox economics and expose Econ 101 for what it really is: not a science, but a simplistic story used to justify inequality and defend the status quo. Our guests Eric Beinhocker (The Origin of Wealth) and James Kwak (Economism) explain how outdated assumptions about markets, people, and growth have warped economic thinking—and why it's time to write a new, better story about how the economy actually works. Part of our Back-to-Basics summer series. Essential listening for anyone ready to move beyond trickle-down talking points and think middle-out. This episode originally aired December 17, 2018. Eric Beinhocker is the Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University of Oxford. He's the author of The Origin of Wealth, which applies complexity science to economics and challenges traditional market thinking. James Kwak is a writer, law professor, and former entrepreneur. He co-authored 13 Bankers and wrote Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality, a sharp critique of how Econ 101 ideology shapes public policy and deepens inequality.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch, as they examine an encouraging new poll about stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, a disturbing one about how many Americans still believe Trump colluded with Russia in 2016, and Andrew Cuomo restarting his campaign for New York City mayor after getting crushed in the Democratic primary.First, they welcome a new Harvard-Harris poll showing 80 percent of Americans believe the U.S. should do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, including 93 percent of Republicans, 75 percent of independents, and 71 percent of Democrats. But there's an interesting twist when voters are asked about the recent U.S. strikes against Iran.Next, they shake their heads at a new Rasmussen survey showing 60 percent of Democrats still believe Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign, despite the Mueller Report and volumes of reporting showing otherwise. But it's not just Dems. There are still absurd numbers of moderates and conservatives who believe the same thing.Finally, after being soundly rejected by voters in the New York City Democratic primary, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo concludes the people really do want him so he will continue his campaign as a third-party candidate. Cuomo also says the non-Mamdani candidates should unite around whoever is running strongest among them by early September. Jim and Greg have plenty of choice comments about Cuomo's decision.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today.  If your business can't adapt in real-time, you're in a world of hurt.  Get the free e-book “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” from NetSuite by Oracle.  Download today at https://NetSuite.com/MARTINI No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

Whether it's tracing a family tree back generations or holding on to stories told around the dinner table, genealogy offers a powerful sense of connection—a connection that can shape identities, claims of property, and even arguments for freedom. But genealogy isn't just a modern-day hobby. In early America, genealogy was a deeply consequential practice with social, political, and legal implications. Karin Wulf, a Professor of History and the Eighth Director and Librarian of the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University, joins us to explore the ways early Americans were interested in their family histories with details from her book, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is projected to cut Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion. The law changes eligibility rules, and some predictions estimate at least 10.5 million people will be eliminated from the program. “For some adults, Medicaid will step in and help pay for care at home, or if care at home is not available, for care in nursing homes,” said Rachel Werner, executive director of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. “With the cuts to Medicaid funding, we are expecting that the availability of care in both of those settings will diminish, and it will be harder for people to get the care they need to live independently.” States will have to respond to the changes by either making up the funding gap or reducing services. On the show today, Werner explains how the funding cuts could limit the caregiving options for older Americans who need at-home care and place a larger responsibility on their families. Plus, we discuss how to start planning for long-term care amid all the legislative changes.Then, we'll celebrate a listener's win about her chocolate lab puppy. And, another listener's quest to find life on Mars.Here's everything we talked about today:“How Medicaid Cuts Could Force Millions Into Nursing Homes” from The Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania“Advocates warn that Medicaid cuts in the big budget law put home-based health care at risk” from Marketplace“New AARP Report: Majority of Adults 50-plus Want to Age in Place, But Policies and Communities Must Catch Up” from AARP“A Closer Look at the Medicaid Work Requirement Provisions in the “Big Beautiful Bill” from KFF“Medicaid cuts: The how and why” from the newsletter Your Local Epidemiologist“As the need for nursing homes grows, nurses are in short supply” from MarketplaceWe love hearing from you.

In this episode, I share my full DEXA scan results, including a visceral fat score of 0.38 pounds, which I’m determined to drop to “0.0 fricking zero” through sprinting—shown in research to preferentially burn visceral fat. My body fat is 21 pounds (12.5%), and I break down the fat and lean mass distribution throughout my body, including minor asymmetries. I was advised to gain 2–3 pounds of muscle for longevity, though my sprinting and high jump goals favor staying lean. I discuss why chronic endurance training can increase visceral fat due to cortisol overproduction, while short, explosive workouts like sprints or strength training create a healthy stress response. You’ll also learn why bone density suffers in cyclists and astronauts, what makes muscles a glucose sink, why Dr. Ron Sinha and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon emphasize maintaining muscle as the key to long-term health and metabolic flexibility, and I end the show with a plug for muscle-centric medicine—focusing on building and maintaining muscle as the key to longevity and leanness. TIMESTAMPS: There are three types of body fat. Brown fat is what cold therapy tends to activate. [01:07] The viseral fat collects in and around the abdominal organs and is extremely health destructive. [03:05] Testosterone replacement therapy is popular however one can also choose to focus on lifestyle optimization before you consider it. [04:20] The accumulaition of viseral fat is a sign that the body's fat storage systems have become overwhelmed. [10:34] Subcutaneous fat is soft and squishy. [12:38] The DEXA scan can examine the inside of your body. Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as overweight or obese. [13:31] If you have competitive goals, your body is going to respond to the training stimulus and create the body that is optimal for what you are doing to it. [22:40] For endurance training for a marathon or Ironman Triathlon, you to store visceral fat. [26:47] Our hectic stressful life causes a chronic overproduction of stress hormones. [28:41] More summary of the DEXA scan shows bone density, the weight of the skeleton, and how the viseral fat surrounds your organs. [30:01] The Tour de France cyclists lose bone density because they are sitting on their bikes instead of doing weight bearing exercise. [31:54] One can check out you viseral fat score by measuring your waistline. People have experimented with changing their body weight in a single day. [35:48] Focus on muscle mass.

Send us a textDid you know your retirement account could be used to invest in real estate, private businesses, cryptocurrency, or virtually any other asset class? Most Americans don't, and it's costing them millions in potential wealth.In this eye-opening conversation with Adam Bergman, founder of IRA Financial Group and tax attorney, we explore the hidden power of self-directed IRAs and how they're revolutionizing retirement planning. Adam reveals that despite what most financial institutions tell you, IRAs have remarkably few limitations—you can't buy collectibles like art, you can't purchase life insurance, and you can't engage in self-dealing transactions. Everything else? Fair game.The wealth-building potential is staggering. Adam shares how investing just $5,000 annually from age 25 to 70 with an 11% return (achievable through alternative investments) could yield nearly $5 million tax-free. Compare that to a taxable account, which would only generate about $2 million with the same contributions and returns. The system is literally "rigged in our favor," as Adam puts it, yet most Americans never take full advantage.What's particularly concerning is the concentration risk in traditional retirement accounts. The S&P 500, where most Americans have their retirement funds, is heavily weighted toward just ten companies that make up approximately 80% of its value. Meanwhile, over 80% of companies with revenues exceeding $100 million are privately held—meaning they're completely inaccessible to traditional retirement accounts. Self-directed IRAs solve this problem.Beyond investment strategies, Adam shares his personal philosophy on balancing business success with family life, physical health, and philanthropy. His advice on career transitions is particularly valuable: rather than abruptly quitting your job to pursue a passion, find ways to leverage your existing expertise while building something new on the side.Whether you're just starting your retirement planning journey or looking to diversify an existing portfolio, this conversation provides actionable insights that could transform your financial future.

Too many socialists are coming out of the closet to run for positions of political leadership within the Democrat Party. And it's high time to push them all back into the closet. Socialists don't belong in American politics. Everything they stand for is counter to the Constitution. And the reason we're seeing so many these days is that Americans have turned from their faith and forgotten God. Judge Phil Ginn speaks of the intersection of faith and freedom.

If you've ever felt unsure about how much of yourself to share in your brand… this episode is for you. This is a special episode where I joined Michael Levitt on his podcast, Breakfast Leadership, to talk about something most people overthink: how to build a personal brand that actually connects. We unpacked what personal branding really means, why it's not about boasting, and how sharing your story can help you attract better-fit clients. Whether you've been in business for years or you're just starting out, this conversation will challenge the way you think about visibility, reputation, and what it really takes to stand out. Personal Branding Isn't Bragging — It's About Being Understood So many people stay quiet online because they're afraid of sounding self-promotional. But the truth is, people don't just want to know what you do–they want to know who you really are. We talk about why your past experiences, values, and even career pivots are worth including in your story. Take a look at your own LinkedIn or About page: is it helping people understand you…or just giving them a list of facts? Can Being Too Polarizing Lose You Clients? I share my take on whether or not you should be polarizing—and whether it can help or hurt your personal and business brand. We talked about the difference between standing out and turning people away, and why losing the wrong clients is often a win. If you've been keeping things neutral out of fear of alienating people, this part of the conversation will give you permission to show up with more honesty, clarity, and confidence. Enjoy this episode… Soundbytes 17:01 - 17:41 “Three-quarters of Americans are actually more likely to trust someone with an established personal brand, and that same percentage is more likely to buy a service or a product from a personal brand that they know. And that applies to big companies too. When you have a sense of what that company, or the founder of that company stands for…” "If we know that a company is supporting, let's say, a local shelter, or whatever else it might be. We're more likely to support them." 21:44 - 22:10 “A lot of times in today's world, especially the last few years, as things have evolved, we're self-centering a lot because we don't want to make waves. And I'm not ever saying make waves for wave's sake. I'm just saying, find ways to really put your values out there and the causes that you're passionate about in a way that is true to who you are. And that's what really helps attract your ideal clients.” Quotes “Three-quarters of Americans are actually more likely to trust someone with an established personal brand, and that same percentage is more likely to buy a service or a product from a personal brand that they know.” “It's okay to be polarizing.” “Take some time every now and then.

After 16 years as Editor-in-Chief of Harvard Business Review, Adi Ignatius is handing the role over to a new leader, and he joins Rapid Response for a more-than-an-exit interview. A longtime friend and colleague of host Bob Safian, Ignatius shares some of the most critical lessons he's learned in decades of covering business and leadership, as well as dissecting the most hot button issues today — from Elon Musk's conflicting priorities, to AI's impact on media, and what Americans most misunderstand about China.

Are Wall Street law firms really the last line of defense for democracy... or just elite power structures protecting their own? This episode of The Brian Nichols Show pulls back the curtain on “lawfare,” elite hypocrisy, and the dangerous double standards that everyday Americans are waking up to. If you've ever wondered why justice feels like it has two rulebooks—one for the powerful and one for the rest of us—this episode is your wake-up call. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In today's conversation, we're joined by attorney and federal law clerk Tom Blakely, who exposes the bizarre argument that defending massive, politically connected law firms is somehow a moral crusade. From revolving doors between big law and the White House to law firms with top-secret clearances representing shady corporate clients, Tom lays out how power isn't just consolidated—it's weaponized. We're not talking abstract legal theory here. This episode dives deep into how average Americans are getting left behind while elite law firms defend corporations poisoning our water, rigging our finances, and escaping accountability. Meanwhile, the political class pretends that they are the victims. Sound backwards? That's because it is. We also tackle the broader culture war erupting under the surface—a class conflict between everyday Americans who are just trying to get by and the insulated elite who jump from private boardrooms to government positions without ever facing consequences. Epstein, Google, the Steele dossier, junk fees—yeah, we go there. By the end of this episode, you'll be asking yourself: Are we watching the fall of the rule of law... or the rise of a new populist reckoning? This isn't about left vs. right. It's about the haves rigging the game against the have-nots. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Join hosts Clay Edwards, Shaun Yurtkuran, and Lindsey Beckham for another raw, unfiltered dive into the issues shaping America on Uncensored Live. Streaming live every Sunday through Thursday at 8 PM on our social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble @SaveJXN or Clay Edwards Show), this nightly show delivers honest conversations without the spin. In Episode 7—our second Monday in a row—we're feeling energized and ready to tackle the tough topics, from border policies to historical close calls and beyond. If you missed our underwhelming performance last night (thanks to a killer headache), we're redeeming ourselves tonight!   We kick off with some behind-the-scenes fun: tech glitches in the studio (why can Lindsey hear Clay loud and clear but not Shaun?), a pitch for a new show name—"Unfiltered" instead of "Uncensored" for a fresh twist—and a shoutout to Clay's merch site where you can snag the OG FAFO shirt for just $15 in 2XL (gray or black available now!).   The heart of the episode is a fiery recap of Shaun and Lindsey's daytime show Crossing the Aisle on WYAB (12-1 PM weekdays), where sparks flew over immigration polling numbers showing only 38% of Americans supporting the current administration's mass immigration policies. We debate Shaun's analogy of the long-time Home Depot worker who's been in the U.S. for 20 years—criminal or not? Clay argues that illegal entry makes one a criminal by definition, while Shaun pushes for nuance, prioritizing dangerous offenders first as per Trump's campaign promises. Lindsey weighs in on pathways to citizenship for non-violent contributors who've paid taxes and built lives here. We explore employer accountability: should businesses face penalties for knowingly hiring undocumented workers via fake IDs or third-party agencies? Google dives reveal civil fines up to $3,000 per employee and potential jail time, plus real-world examples like ICE raids on Mississippi chicken plants. The conversation evolves into cultural insights—praising Hispanic work ethic and community integration while contrasting it with challenges from other groups like Haitians in Miami or Muslims in England, as discussed on Patrick Bet-David's podcast.   We reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, PA, replaying the chilling audio and appreciating Trump's defiant "fight, fight, fight" moment. What if he'd been killed? We avoided civil unrest, conspiracy-fueled wars among Americans, and a chaotic GOP nomination floor fight (Nikki Haley as frontrunner?). Plus, thoughts on potential deepfakes, Biden conspiracies, and how history might remember this iconic event with statues someday.   Diving deeper, we touch on birth rates (Hispanics lead, potentially shifting demographics post-Roe), language assimilation (learn Spanish to bridge gaps while insisting on English?), and why American Christians are drilled to defend Israel unquestioningly—questioning if it's the same biblical Israel amid modern geopolitics and accusations of genocide in Gaza. We call out biases: criticizing Israel's government isn't antisemitism, just as critiquing Jackson, MS, isn't racism.   Local flavor includes a Hattiesburg attorney arrested for allegedly embezzling $450K from a widow's settlement—his second rodeo after voter fraud charges. We discuss bar association oversight and how some start corrupt young.   Entertainment roundup: Highly recommend Sinners (vampires in 1920s Clarksdale juke joints—think Crossroads meets Dusk Till Dawn); skip the new Gladiator.
