With a government that ignores the most important truth in life—God exists and has spoken in Scripture—how do you think that will turn out for the kids?Turns out, just as planned. John Dewey (1859-1952), considered the “Father of the Modern American Public Education System” said: “There is no God and there is no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, immutable truth is also dead and buried.”In case you're not convinced, Dr. Chester Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychology at Harvard University, said at the Childhood International Education Seminar in 1973:“Every child who enters school at age 5 is mentally ill because he enters school with an allegiance toward our elected officials, our founding fathers, our institutions, the preservation of this form of government we have, patriotism, nationalism, sovereignty… All this proves that the children are sick, because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all those things and is what I would call the international child of the future.”Mission accomplished. Taxpayer-funded, federal government-mandated public education has shaped generations of the “international child” with unsuspecting parents losing almost all influence. The moral confusion that reigns in our children and nation today shouldn't be surprising.International journalist Alex Newman joins us for a second week on The Christian Worldview to discuss what government education has become and what Christian parents should do. Alex is the author Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children, CEO of Liberty Sentinel Media and a senior editor for The New American Magazine.---------------------------Indoctrinating Our Children to DeathAlex Newman documents the untold history behind government education and its founders like nobody has ever done before.This resource was published after this program aired in 2022.Education Resources in MN

Earlier this week, Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced that the government would be announcing its position on the recognition of a Palestinian state over the next month. This announcement was made in the lead up to the UN general assembly in September, where world leaders such as the prime ministers of France and Australia promised to recognise a Palestinian state. Also this week, Green party Wellington MPs Julie Anne Genter and Tamatha Paul recently launched a petition calling for Māori place names to be restored to Wellington electorates after the Rongotai electorate was recently renamed to the English name Wellington Bays. And the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll was recently released, which showed that Labour had overtaken National as the largest party, gaining 2 points to 33.6 percent, while National' dropped 2.1 points to 31.8 percent.

Journalist and researcher Charlotte Gill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a blistering exposé on government waste, academic absurdity, and the taxpayer-funded empire of ideological nonsense.Gill reveals how billions of pounds are being siphoned into bizarre research projects through UKRI and its academic arms—the AHRC and ESRC. From “gay pig masculinities” to “Green inclusion”. Gill has uncovered an astonishing archive of publicly funded work that seems more like parody than policy.We discuss how Britain's universities became captured by radical ideology under the guise of scholarship. Gill warns that without scrutiny, these institutions will keep draining public money into activism masquerading as research.All this— gay p*rn studies, postmodern pseudoscience, and the quiet bureaucracies turning academia into a taxpayer-funded circus…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:32 Discovery of “Woke Waste”20:54 The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 23:44 The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) 29:35 Charities and Taxpayer Funding 43:30 The Role of Hope Not Hate 1:02:04 The Impact of Taxpayer Funding on Public Policy 1:10:50 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

H1 - Segment 3 - Tue Aug 5 2025 - The Democrats always want you to pay more. They always want us the taxpayer to pay

Picture this. A man has been convicted of rape. And as he sits in his prison cell, awaiting a sentence, he continues to be paid his taxpayer funded salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. He hasn’t been fired. It might sound implausible. But this case is playing out right now, with a NSW member of parliament. Today, state political editor Alexandra Smith on the case of Gareth Ward. And why behaviour that would get you fired from any job in the private sector, doesn’t automatically rule you out of making the law.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

      Slam The Gavel welcomes back William Sewell from SC to the podcast. William was last on Season 5, Episode 269. William was accompanied by Mike "Thunder" Phillips, Investigative Journalist, who has also been documenting William's case.      Today, they discussed updates to William's case such as being extorted $60,950,00 in attorney fees to Attorney D. Gamache, paying his ex-wife's attorney fees, an unknown figure for the third party parasite, Guardian Ad Litem and $8,395.00 for reopening a case (not William's idea) on the 365 Day Rule. On top of that, his ex has legal and physical custody with full decision making and first right of refusal. All of this documented in a 35 page order by Judge M. Kimmons at the taxpayer's expense.     Essentially they are trying to force/demand William to sell his home and imputed his income by three times a figure he has never made.

Hour 3 kicks off with a recap of the outrageous removal of a fan at a St. Louis soccer game for wearing a MAGA hat, highlighting left-wing intolerance. The conversation shifts to a deep legal dive on Missouri's controversial stadium subsidy bill with attorney Beavis Schock, who explains why the bill likely violates the state constitution's single-subject rule. The stadium deal effectively means taxpayers are footing Patrick Mahomes' massive salary, sparking serious pushback. Next, senior Heritage Foundation expert Jim Carafano weighs in on Middle East tensions, critiquing misguided Palestinian state recognition moves by Canada and the UK, and explaining the geopolitical reality that only the U.S. and Israel hold true influence over the Gaza conflict. Carafano predicts Hamas' irrelevance and urges focusing on a stable future. Congressman Eric Burleson joins to discuss insider trading concerns around Nancy Pelosi, calling for a serious investigation while acknowledging the complexity of broad legislative attempts to curb stock trading by members of Congress. Burleson also weighs in on the ongoing deep-state scandal, calling it treasonous and insisting the corrupt actors must be prosecuted. Kim closes the hour with “Kim on a Whim,” sounding alarms over a new Illinois law mandating annual mental health screenings in public schools from grades 3–12. She questions the lack of parental transparency and consent, potential privacy violations, and the risk of bureaucratic overreach in politically hostile environments.

According to a ProPublica report, the IRS is building a system that would share taxpayer data with ICE. Investigative reporter William Turton explains his findings. This week we’ll get a slew of new economic data that could indicate some of the impact of Trump’s tariff strategy. Bloomberg News’s Shawn Donnan joins to discuss what to watch and how the global economy has already changed. The Washington Post uncovered allegations of forced labor in the Brazilian Amazon some decades ago. Rio de Janeiro bureau chief Terry McCoy joins to talk about his reporting and how this story came to light. Plus, a gunman killed multiple victims in Manhattan including a police officer, Trump contradicted Israel and acknowledged starvation in Gaza, and Minnesota is bringing in health warnings for social-media apps. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Earlier this month, Congress approved President Trump's request to strip away the next two years of funds previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. As a result, our local public television station and about 1,500 others — along with the national PBS and NPR networks — will no longer receive federal funding starting in October. This week, we invited two local opinion columnists to continue a debate that has been heard in Washington D.C. for years: Should taxpayer dollars fund public broadcasting? Since our funding is caught up in this debate, we put up several firewalls to avoid a conflict of interest.

Steve Gruber sits down with Michael Chamberlain, Director of Protect the Public's Trust (PPT), a watchdog organization dedicated to holding government accountable. They dive into PPT's recent report exposing how the Biden Administration has wasted massive amounts of taxpayer money through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). It's a revealing discussion about government spending, accountability, and what this means for taxpayers across the country.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, for another installment in the “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series—this time targeting the Internal Revenue Service. Jeremiah breaks down how outdated pandemic-era tax subsidies—expanded under the American Rescue Plan—are still being paid out today, even to higher-income individuals who don't need them. Reverting to the original subsidy rules for the Obamacare marketplace could save taxpayers a staggering $383 billion. The episode also exposes shocking mismanagement inside the IRS, including nearly 3,000 IRS employees who owe back taxes and over $4.7 trillion in untraceable federal spending due to failed accounting practices. Jeremiah explains how simple reforms like the LEDGER Act could bring long-overdue transparency to the Treasury and restore public trust. This is a can't-miss conversation about fiscal responsibility, common sense reforms, and how everyday Americans can play a role in cutting $2 trillion in wasteful government spending.

Congressman Mark Harris from North Carolina discusses recent developments in federal spending and the implications of a significant Supreme Court ruling. Congressman Harris shares insights on the restoration of leadership in Washington, the importance of transparency, and the potential for a smaller government, as well as Elon Musk's proposal to create a third political party and explore alternative strategies like the Convention of the States movement.

Rich shares insights on the current state of polling, the importance of accuracy, and the challenges faced by the industry. We delve into the necessity of creating standards to restore trust in polling and explore the implications of a potential third party in American politics. Finally, Dr. Chad Walding, co-founder and Chief Culture Officer at NativePath, to discuss the pressing issue of processed foods. Dr. Walding shares insights on how processed foods are often devoid of nutritional value and contribute to various health issues, including weight gain, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.
