What happens when a brand‑new believer faces mockery at home, financial strain, and a nation at war—and chooses to study harder, love deeper, and answer with reasons instead of rage? Raviv Dror shares his newfound faith and path through doubt, dialogue, and devotion, exploring how apologetics turned shaky mornings into a steady, lived faith.In Part 2, Raviv explains how apologetics helped him both strengthen his new faith and share it with others. He ends with thoughts on the Israeli war, the Christian response, and how to pray for the nation.Helpful Links:Raviv's book Three in One: Being Israeli, Jewish & Believer IN CHRISTRaviv's book The Third WayRaviv's Faithful Tales Children's books, seriesApologetics resources recommended by Raviv:Dr. Frank Turek, CrossExamined.org Prof John Lennox https://www.johnlennox.org/Dr. William Lane Craig reasonablefaith.org Dennis Prager, https://www.prageru.com/Prayercast IsraelOther resources:Zionism: A Concise History, Alex RyvchinLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

The bottleneck holding back AI is a scarcity of power, or so goes the story. That may be true — and plenty of reporting backs it up — but different actors in the space face varying incentives to play up or play down that narrative. So what incentives are at play, and how do they shape each player's story? In this episode, Shayle talks to Shanu Mathew, senior vice president and portfolio manager-analyst for US sustainable equity at Lazard. Last month on X, he posted a breakdown of the actors — including hyperscalers, chip makers, utilities, and others – and how the different incentives they face shape how they talk about energy and AI. They cover topics like: Hyperscalers' mixed incentives: the benefits of building their own capacity vs encouraging others to overbuild Why equipment makers, chipmakers, and land developers benefit from talking up the bottleneck to boost demand for their services How independent power producers and gas players benefit from high prices How the power-bottleneck narrative has shifted over time Resources: Latitude Media: ERCOT's large load queue has nearly quadrupled in a single year Latitude Media: The power bottleneck is changing data center financing Latitude Media: Early-stage data centers are driving up US power demand forecasts Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

What happens when a life built on certainty starts to crack? Hear the One80 of Raviv Dror, who grew up in a hardline communist kibbutz where the collective came first, religion, even true Judaism, was scorned, and affection felt scarce. His story carries us from growing up on a faithless kibbutz to a cross-continent love that opens a door he isn't ready to walk through—until everything else falls apart.In part 1, hear how God broke Raviv free from communist ideology and slowly, faith starts to move in.Helpful Links:Raviv's book Three in One: Being Israeli, Jewish & Believer IN CHRISTRaviv's book The Third WayRaviv's Faithful Tales Children's books, seriesApologetics resources recommended by Raviv:Dr. Frank Turek, CrossExamined.org Prof John Lennox https://www.johnlennox.org/Dr. William Lane Craig reasonablefaith.org Dennis Prager, https://www.prageru.com/Prayercast IsraelOther resources:Zionism: A Concise History, Alex RyvchinLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

In this episode, Hillari sits down with Lanae Erickson of Third Way to make sense of a political moment that feels chaotic, confusing, and—somehow—full of opportunity. Together, they unpack the blowout victories of moderates like Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, the progressive shockwave in New York City, and the shutdown fight that left Democrats divided and frustrated.It's a conversation about what voters are actually demanding—calm over chaos, strength without theatrics, and leaders who talk about the cost of living in plain English. Lanae brings new data and candid insight into how moderates can win (and govern), why the center-left keeps underestimating its own appeal, and what the Democratic Party needs to rethink before 2026 and 2028.From gender dynamics to electability, from the moderate “training montage” to the politics of belief, this episode cuts through the noise and delivers the kind of clarity you rarely hear in the post-2025 fog.If you care about where Democrats go next—and what it will take to actually build a governing majority—this is the conversation you'll want to hear.Links:Third Way Moderate Power Project
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Feeling pressured to pick between Socialism and Capitalism? We challenge that trap and make a case for a third way that takes human dignity seriously, starts in the heart, and rebuilds culture from the ground up. We walk through why many young people gravitate toward socialism when family and schools fail them, and why unconstrained capitalism—when severed from God and moral law—leaves the soul hungry and communities brittle. Then we chart a different path rooted in a Christian vision of freedom ordered to the good, where love of God flows into love of neighbor, and where formation shapes the kind of people who can actually sustain a free society.You'll hear hard critiques—of socialism and hypercapitalism's nihilism—paired with hopeful, concrete steps: prayer that grounds the day, the sacraments that renew the heart, small groups that build accountability, and local action that serves the poor, protects life, and strengthens communities.We also discuss the Claymore battle plan as a practical map for spiritual formation and cultural rebuilding. The goal isn't outrage; it's forming men and women who can love well, raise families, start businesses with integrity, and anchor parishes that become bright centers of mercy and truth. If you're tired of false choices and hungry for a life that unites faith, work, and citizenship, this is your invitation to begin.

In our final "Third Way in Practice" conversation, Pastor Ben is joined by Andrew and Haley as they discuss the ways in which our Third Way compels us to work towards justice in a posture fashioned by Jesus.
In this final sermon of our THIRD WAY series, Mark explores a conversation that is central to our Third Way. "What about the Bible?" In this message, we consider the beautiful, complex gift we have in our shared Word, and how our posture compels us to read and wrestle with Scripture in community. www.thevineaustin.org 2 Timothy 3:14-17 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. How did you first get acquainted with the Bible? How did that initial experience shape your relationship with Scripture? 2. What stayed with you from the sermon- either as confusing, curious or encouraging? 3. Consider the image of the two hands drawing one another. How does this depict how the Bible was written (both God's words and words from human experience)? Which hand do you most often accentuate? 4. Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17. What does it mean to you that Scripture is “God-breathed”? How could that shape how we read and experience it? 5. What does it mean to read Scripture through the lens of Jesus? How does that sit with you? 6. Finish by sharing what your relationship is with the Bible today, what would you want it to be, and how could you develop that? End in prayer for one another. As this is the final sermon of this series, what has been a lesson, thought or practice that stands out to you? Share how this Third Way has challenged and inspired you towards change. Lift one another up in prayer.
Lead Pastor Jack Moraine concludes our sermon series "The Third Way" with his message "The Narrow Road."
Progressive and centrist Democratic candidates had big wins in the 2025 elections. On this week's On the Media, a data scientist fact-checks the claim that Democrats need moderate voters to win. Plus, an Arizona state senator shares how she's reaching her constituents on TikTok and on the ground.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with G. Elliot Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, to hash out what the data says about whether becoming more moderate is really the key to Democratic candidates winning more elections.[20:09] Brooke chats with Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, a center-left think tank, about his view that Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City poses a “serious political problem” for the Democrats.[36:06] Finally, Brooke calls up Analise Ortiz, state senator for Arizona's 24th district, to discuss how TikTok, old-fashioned door-knocking, and making tangible differences in peoples' lives is the way for the Democrats to start winning again.

My review of J.D. Greear's new book "Everyday Revolutionary."substack article: https://jonharris.substack.com/p/everyday-revolutionary-or-third-wayPowerPoint: https://www.patreon.com/posts/143983538J.D. Greear's new book Everyday Revolutionary promises a bold path forward for Christians in culture, but is it really revolutionary or just Third-Way 2.0 with better marketing?Jon Harris returns to Conversations That Matter to unpack Greear's updated playbook: tougher rhetoric on Democrats than the 2010s versions, yet still heavy on non-partisan platitudes and light on hard stands over immigration, criminal justice, or gun control. Why does Greear insist conservatives must publicly repent of the Right's sins to maintain credibility?We applaud the strong “theology of place” and exile framework… then watch it collapse into confusion: activism is supposedly secondary to the gospel, yet suddenly mandatory when the Bible “clearly” speaks as long as it doesn't alienate a particular political party. From benching George Whitefield over slavery to walking the purple-city tightrope, Harris argues the book ultimately functions as reputation management rather than a call to costly faithfulness.Is Everyday Revolutionary the renewal the church needs, or a sophisticated toolkit for evangelical shape-shifting? A candid, no-punches-pulled conversation that matters.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
This week, Dr. Greg sits down with Adrian and Shaelyn Misiak to talk about the real-life tension of growing and healing while your family stays the same. Together they unpack how true boundaries flow from inner peace—not control—and how to stay grounded in mercy when old patterns resurface around the holidays. Key Topics: Why trying to control your family's behavior only increases anxiety—and what to do instead. Why "outgrowing your family" doesn't mean you've done anything wrong—and what it actually reveals about your healing. How to stay peaceful when one holiday comment sends you straight back into your old role. The surprising truth: boundaries aren't the solution… they're the result of inner peace. How to remain connected to your family without betraying the growth God is doing in you. How mercy—not distance—creates the safest emotional space when old wounds resurface. What to expect when you're the "different one" in the family…and how to carry that role with peace.

Veteran crisis-manager and former White House Special Counsel Lanny Davis joins Michael to break down how President Trump handled the Epstein files — and what he should have done instead. Davis explains the “tell it early, tell it all, tell it yourself” rules Trump ignored, why resistance fuels speculation, and how the story could have been neutralized from the start. Plus: his upcoming book Finding the Third Way and a great story involving his son, a college basketball game, and a surprise call from George W. Bush. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week's "Third Way in Practice" features a conversation between Fabs, Johnny and Ashley. They explore best practices of self-care, boundaries and emotional intelligence that help us maintain a third way posture as we navigate challenging relationships.
In this sermon, Mark addresses how the Third Way creates an alternative vocabulary in a time of tribalism. Ephesians 4:1-6, 25-32 www.thevineaustin.org DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Interact with the quote from Abraham Heschel- “words create worlds.” How have you seen that concept at work in your own life or our world? 2. What stayed with you from the sermon- either as confusing, curious or encouraging? 3. Read Ephesians 4:1-6. Verses 1, 2 and 3 seem to address different concepts, but how are they connected? 4. Read Ephesians 4:25-27. Is anger wrong or sinful by nature? If not, when does anger become sin? How does anger provide the enemy a foothold? 5. Read Ephesians 4:29-32. What does this passage say about God? How do these verses challenge the church to live differently? 6. A common practice in our world of division is to label and “other” people into tribes. What are ways we can push against that temptation? End in prayer for one another using Colossians 3:12-14 to be your prompt. Imagine putting on the posture of Jesus and taking off the antagonistic ways of this world. "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
Lead Pastor Jack Moraine continues our sermon series "The Third Way" with the message: "Jesus on Judging (Matthew 7:1-12)"
Professor Ivette Fuentes makes impossible physics testable, with verified predictions on the Casimir effect and quantum vacuum. Now she's building a "third way" to quantum gravity, a surprisingly simple model that changes both quantum mechanics and relativity instead of forcing one to dominate the other.

Fabs continues our series on the Third Way by clarifying what it means that we prioritize posture over position at The Vine. Romans 14:1-5, 19-20 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What stayed with you from the sermon, either as confusing, curious or encouraging? 2. How would you describe the ‘work of God'? Why do you think Paul says that arguing over their positions on food has the potential to destroy the work of God? 3. Read the blessing Paul offers the Romans in 15:5-7. What stands out to you as his priority for the church? 4. Often we feel we have to pick between valuing position or posture (one or the other). How is the third way different? 5. What are the potential obstacles or risks of prioritizing posture over position? Why do you think people resist this? What are the potential risks of prioritizing position over posture?
Associate Pastor Joel Bidderman continues our sermon series "The Third Way" with the message "Seeking First the Kingdom (Matthew 6:19-34)."
A big problem with using artificial intelligence to discover new materials? It struggles to predict beyond its training data. That means AI might be better at optimizing known materials than discovering entirely new ones — like a room temperature superconductor or carbon-capture sorbents. But since we last covered the topic in September 2024, a few things have changed. OpenAI released its powerful O1 reasoning model. Large language models have also gotten better at math, physics, and coding. And lab automation — robots mixing liquids and powders, running characterization tests — has improved, allowing for a higher volume of experiments. So, can these improvements overcome AI's training data problem? In this episode, Shayle talks to Ekin Dogus Cubuk, cofounder of Periodic Labs, which raised $300 million seed round in September. Last year, Dogus took a more cautious view on using AI for materials discovery. Now though, he's convinced there's a clearer path forward for physical science research and development, especially materials discovery. Shayle and Dogus cover topics like: Creating experimental and synthetic data to overcome AI's limitations of predicting beyond its training set Why we should focus on breakthrough discoveries over easier, incremental wins The different roles humans and AI play in the discovery process Period's focus on automated experimental labs using AI-generated hypotheses Resources: Catalyst: Can AI revolutionize materials discovery?

This is the second installment of our midweek conversations called Third Way in Practice. These dialogues explore the complexities and opportunities in practicing the Third Way. Today, Mark is joined by Ben Law as they discuss how the Third Way creates a path to reclaim a courageous faith. www.thevineaustin.org
Mark continues in our Third Way series by exploring the difference between wells and fences, the power of a shared center, and why Jesus is enough to hold us together. Colossians 1:15-20 www.thevineaustin.org DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. How would you describe the difference between center-set (wells) groups and bounded-set (fences) groups? What are their key characteristics? 2. In your recounting of the Gospels, how does Jesus challenge the religious/ethnic fences of his day? 3. What stayed with you from the sermon- either as confusion, curious or encouraging? 4. Paul wrote the poem in the middle of the first chapter of Colossians to stretch the spiritual imagination of who Jesus is and what he accomplished. Read Colossians 1:15-20. What inspires adoration and worship? What inspires a sense of mystery and wonder? 5. Read Jesus' prayer for the Church in John 17:20-23. Why do you think unity is so important to Jesus? 6. From our Third Way document, we find these words- “The Third Way is formed and shaped by Jesus — his posture, his priorities, his teaching, and his pattern of love. Rather than prioritizing doctrines or debates, we seek to organize and focus our lives around Christ.” With this in mind, what does it practically mean to have Jesus in the center of our individual lives? What does it mean to have Jesus at center of our church? End in prayer for one another. Perhaps, have your prayers be in response to the conversation from question #6, and pray that we would center Jesus in our lives more and more.

Welcome to the first episode of "Third Way in Practice." Today, Mark is joined by Stefani and Fabs as they explore the common misconceptions people have of the third way.
Mark kicks off our Third Way series by telling the story of where this conviction came from and what it means to our community. www.thevineaustin.org REFLECTION QUESTIONS: 1. Most families have stories they tell again and again. What is a story your family repeatedly told? 2. How would you define or describe the Third Way to someone who didn't know our church? 3. What stayed with you from the sermon- either as confusing, curious or encouraging? 4. Read Matthew 22:15-22. What stands out to you? 5. What does it mean to “give back to God's what is God's?” 6. What about our Third Way is hopeful or life-giving? 7. What about our Third Way seems challenging or impossible? 8. Discuss this phrase found on our website. “We choose to value empathy and compassion over certainty and absolute agreement. We seek unity in following Jesus within the essentials of our faith.” End in prayer with one another. Perhaps pray for these 5 weeks, that Jesus would form us in this journey- bringing a clarity of conviction, merciful view of others and a Jesus-shaped lifestyle.
Associate Pastor Jordan Gentes continues our sermon series "The Third Way," with the message "Jesus Challenges the Crowd's Thinking."

Are you an entrepreneur selling yourself as the brand, or someone with a bold idea or purpose to share with the world? Then, you're in the right place. Welcome to The Ripple Effect Podcast, where today's guest, Justin Foster, brings over 20 years of brand coaching wisdom that flips traditional marketing on its head. Justin is redefining what it means to build a brand by moving away from formulas, numbers, and data overload, and toward something simpler, but far more powerful: authenticity. His message, F the Formula, is a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of chasing algorithms or trying to fit into someone else's version of success. We are talking about building a soul-led brand that feels real, not forced. This is Part Two of my conversation with Justin Foster, where we dive deeper into the nitty-gritty of his bold “F the Formula” philosophy. I know, this is the one you've been waiting for!

Lead Pastor Jack Moraine continues our sermon series "The Third Way" with the message "Salt & Light, Law & Prophets (Matthew 5:13-20)."
Prompted by the recent peace agreement between Israel and Gaza—and the wide range of reactions it has sparked—this week we ask: how should Christians respond when their political “opponents” accomplish something that's objectively good? In our polarized age, it can feel almost disloyal to celebrate the other side's victories. But followers of Jesus serve a King whose kingdom transcends every earthly party and platform. In this episode, we explore the role of nuance, the challenges of “third way-ism,” and how to live faithfully in politically fractured times. We hope this conversation offers clarity—and a little encouragement—along the way. Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

What happens when a cowboy poet, brand provocateur, and unapologetic truth-teller decides to burn the old playbook and start over in Mexico City? Meet Justin Foster, the co-founder of Massive Change, an advisory firm helping non-profit leaders and entrepreneurs build just, equitable brands. Raised on a cattle ranch in Oregon, Justin brings a no-BS, straight-off-the-range approach to leadership and business. For more than two decades, he's delivered heretical brand coaching that cuts through the noise, distilling complex ideas into clear, high-impact messages that move people. A master of language, he's the author of four books and a prolific writer of essays, poetry, and songs. At his core, Justin is a poet, agitator, and strategist who fiercely challenges entrenched power and questions the narratives that uphold the status quo. After multiple setbacks, I finally had the chance to interview Justin for the Ripple Effect Podcast. Justin is overflowing with insight and soul, so this conversation is split into two parts. Part One explores his move, mindset, and rediscovery of purpose, while Part Two delves into building soul-led brands and leading with authenticity in a world obsessed with formulas. Tune in to The Ripple Effect Podcast and join me for a powerful, unfiltered conversation with Justin Foster: a living example of what it means to live with intention and fire.

Are you tired of feeling so much tension and stress? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr Shannon South, who is now known as the Joy Doctor. Dr. South has developed a way to overcome difficulties. We can handle these extremes, even though there may be suffering and pain. Dr. South has been working with people experiencing trauma for more than 25 years and today she talks about her method. She discusses what trauma is and how we can learn to respond from our Higher Selves. Fear is completely able to heal. Fear does not need to run our nervous and response system. Our whole being can come together as we can retrain our brains. We can map into a state of calmness through peace and love. It's a different energetic template. Our systems can be updated according to Dr. South. Dr. South talks about her book, “The Power of Your Inner Counselor” which discusses how we can heal the cells in our bodies. We can evolve into our Higher Nature by getting out of survival. We must align with and embody our Higher Selves. We can evolve into more peace, love, and trust. Meditation, and taking that pause, can help tremendously. We can choose to become more empowered by listening to our Inner Counselor. We have so much more potential than we realize. We can all get to a state of balance and find inner expansion and freedom. As we shine and evolve, we can make a difference and help more people. This is Part 2 of the interview.

In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's scriptThe third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinityHow real masculine power actually improves intimate relationshipsWhat if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move feels too risky.Men are killing themselves at three times the rate of women, but they won't ask for help. And honestly? I get it. The message they're getting is confusing as hell. Be vulnerable but not weak. Be strong but not aggressive. Lead but don't be controlling. No wonder they're paralyzed.The thing is, we're all paying for this mess. When the men in our lives are walking around dead inside, our relationships suffer. Our kids learn that strength means shutting down. Everyone loses when half the population is too scared to show up authentically.Carl Jung wrote about the wounded healer. The person whose deepest pain becomes their greatest gift. A lot of men have learned to be incredibly sensitive to everyone else's feelings because they've completely numbed their own. They'll bend over backwards to make you happy while slowly suffocating inside.Today our guest is Isaac Wathen, a men's coach who helps guys move from people-pleasing to actual leadership. After his own health crisis forced him to face how disconnected he'd become, Isaac figured out how to reclaim masculine power without becoming a total dick about it.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/422Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
With all the crises on the planet, war, conflict, climate change, and so much more, does it seem like things are becoming tougher, even more extreme? Yet, according to our guest today, Dr Shannon South, who is now known as the Joy Doctor, there's a way to overcome these difficulties. We can handle these extremes, even though there may be suffering and pain. Dr. South has been working with people experiencing trauma for more than 25 years. She discusses the severe anxiety disorder she had when she was younger. Medicine helped her get through it, but she knew there was more to life than medication. She saw a meditation teacher who taught her a way to calm her mind. She chose to wean herself off of her medicine on her own and an energetic peace came over her. She had no more panic attacks ever again. Dr. South learned a specific process of connection, a divinity that we can call upon in times of need. We all can access this connection and divine wisdom. This guidance is designed to help us all. She discusses her Inner Counselor Process and how to have a divine experience, without the extreme circumstance or trauma. The “conflict of opposites” creates something new. We can expand into a new way of being, because of these opposites. A third way is possible through her method. It involves talking with our Higher Selves and getting in touch with areas of pain and trauma. There are many different names for this energy -- this is your higher nature, your angelic self, your creative self. Trauma splits us off from our loving, wiser nature. It makes us susceptible to black-and-white thinking. If we can trust that we can heal, we can move through the trauma and evolve through it. We can understand ourselves more deeply. Dr. South explains how to access our Higher Self easily, by calling in support from those who passed on, those who love us. We can include angels, spiritual guides, teachers, and healers. They can all help and assist. We have the resources to heal. It's embodied in our Higher Nature. Info: theinnercounselor.com

The essence of spiritual growth is learning to work directly with your inner energy rather than trying to affect it indirectly by controlling outer circumstances. When the outer world does not meet your preferences, your inner energy gets disturbed, and you either try to suppress it (which creates blockages) or reactively express it (which can cause its own problems). Instead, by relaxing in the face of the disturbed energy, welcoming it, and allowing it to rise and purify—the energy can be transmuted into spiritual growth. Practiced steadily in everyday life, this returns you to the seat of the Self, where joy is natural because the energy flow is unblocked. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.

If you have the means, FIRE is a great place to donate your money to. (Don't let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of the premiere free-speech organization in the world.) David and I talk about his list of The New Yorker's racist staff writers, whether a hunger for ass makes one Black, Raja Jackson, and the curse my children put on me. I'm trying to forget the awful Thalidomide metaphor I made during the episode. It's not working. So here's my definition of Latinx — a word which, according to the center-left think tank Third Way, Democrats should stop using. I'm going to strike Thalidomide from my vocabulary as well.

The Trump administration announced that it will withhold $5 billion in foreign aid that Congress had already allocated. The “pocket rescission” is Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought's latest move to give the executive branch control over America's spending. House Democrats call it an unlawful attack on Congress' power of the purse. The Trump administration has also imposed tariffs and selected U.S. attorneys without congressional approval. How can Congress take back its power? Will Democrats and Republicans work together to prevent a shutdown before federal funding runs out at the end of the month? The Johnson Amendment (1954) allowed the IRS to remove tax-exempt status from charitable organizations and churches if they endorsed political candidates. Although some outspoken faith leaders disregarded the rule and received no retribution from the IRS, the Trump administration has now created an official carve-out for churches to endorse candidates and keep their tax-exempt status. Proponents of the Johnson Amendment, like including the 1,000 nonprofits that signed a community letter supporting nonpartisanship, believe that the law prevented churches from becoming political agents manipulated by anonymous donors' tax-free gifts. Others, like the National Religious Broadcasters, say the Johnson Amendment infringed on their First Amendment rights. Will this new leeway degrade the role of churches as nonpartisan centers of community? Third Way, a left-wing think tank, released a memo urging Democrats to leave behind language they believe repels voters. The list includes words such as “privilege,” “systems of oppression,” “birthing person,” and “Latinx.” The right has expressed disdain with “wokeness” and language policing. Progressives adopted these terms to be more inclusive and empathetic, but are they having the opposite effect?
When George Orwell wrote 1984, the unique feature of the language in the book, known as newspeak, was that it was getting smaller each year, as words were removed from the pool. The loony Left aspires to police speech to that degree, as they legally removed gender-related words from being spoken inside the House of Representatives in 2021. Their reputation for policing words has led the Democratic party to be viewed by the public as Woke busybodies focused on manufactured gender issues and prioritizing nonsense, all while crime is skyrocketing and their cities are coming apart at the seams. A Left-leaning think tank called Third Way has called out the Democrats' own language and has thoughts on ways to make them sound less insane, but that advice will certainly go unheeded.

1. Dunking on Gavin Newsom Ted Cruz responds to a tweet by Newsom blaming Trump for rising electricity prices. Cruz uses AI (Grok) to highlight that the states with the highest electricity rates are Democrat-led with strong renewable energy mandates. He argues that liberal policies, not Trump, are responsible for high energy costs. The discussion includes a critique of renewable energy mandates and infrastructure challenges in blue states. 2. Democrats’ “Forbidden Words” The think tank Third Way released a memo listing 45 words/phrases Democrats should avoid, claiming they alienate everyday Americans. Examples include: “privilege,” “birthing person,” “microaggression,” “cisgender,” “food insecurity,” and “environmental violence.” Cruz and Ferguson mock the list, comparing it to George Carlin’s “seven dirty words” and argue that the problem isn’t just language but ideology. 3. SCOTUS Victory for Trump on DEI Grants The Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to cancel $783 million in NIH grants tied to DEI and gender ideology. The ruling was based on jurisdictional grounds—plaintiffs filed in the wrong court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the swing vote, siding with conservatives on the funding issue but not on reversing DEI guidance. Cruz and Ferguson discuss the implications for future lawfare and judicial activism. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Third Way, a center-left think tank, released a list of words it thinks Democrats should stop using on Friday. The list included words like “intersectionality,” “body shaming,” “cisgender,” and “LGBTQIA+.” It sparked an online debate around the terms, which has caused many people to ask “what do Democrats and liberals actually believe?” Jerusalem Demsas is CEO and founder of a new media outlet called “The Argument,” and she joins the show to answer the question: What is a liberal?And in headlines, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov defends the Russian war in Ukraine on NBC's “Meet the Press,” Kilmar Abrego Garcia – a Salvadoran immigrant who was deported despite a court order allowing him to stay in the country – returns home to Maryland only to be immediately threatened with deportation to Uganda, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticizes President Trump over threats to deploy the National guard to Chicago, and the Department of Justice releases hundreds of pages of interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, a collaborator of Jeffrey Epstein.Show Notes:Check out The Argument – www.theargumentmag.com/Call 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
