On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring the best of on Labor Day. A counter push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes, there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House? Then, imams of a Shia Muslim mosque in Dearborn, Michigan pledged its allegiance to the Islamic regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of "devil-worshipers." Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals. Meanwhile, national conservatism is a form of older paleo conservatism and such isms are not new - like Theodore Roosevelt's progressive nationalism and Huey Long who rebranded fascism as anti-fascism. This echoes Orwell's remark that every government, even communist ones, claims to be a democracy. Words have meanings that politicians often confuse and contort, and conservatives and Republicans should not abandon one of the greatest periods of conservatism and Republicanism in the 80's, just as they should not abandon Trump. Later, certain infrastructure, including Kharg island, must be taken out and the Iranian people armed. Even if the regime's leaders lack money, they remain like World War II Japanese kamikazes: religious zealots who treated the Emperor as God on earth, prayed, fought, and lived for him—the product of nationalism. The Iranian regime will not surrender for its people's good or because its military is defeated, and any document or negotiation it signs is merely an ends-justifies-the-means tactic. The regime must therefore be obliterated and eliminated. The only real way to overthrow it is from within; the President has created the conditions for that, but unless further steps are taken the concern remains that collapse could simply produce another such regime. Afterward, the media portrayed Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, as a peaceful “boy scout” exercising free speech and advocating for Palestinian rights, but a 100-page investigation documents a previously unseen record of support for terrorists, terrorist organizations, and armed violence. The report unearths statements in which Mahdawi promised to “annihilate the Jews,” praised Hamas, honored dead terrorists, and bragged that Palestinians have the capacity and conviction to resist, kill, and wound; similar violence-tinged postings continued as recently as 2024 while he was on U.S. soil.

Beau Martonik sits down with Jameson Curtis and Kelly McGraw of Wild at Heart Outdoors, the two guys behind Pursuing the Allegheny. It's their first time on the show in eight years. They walked away from making hunting films, and Jameson walked away from hunting almost entirely for a couple of years. He says getting off social media was the reset button, that seeing 15 guys out of thousands post big bucks had him convinced everybody was killing except him. Kelly puts it more simply: when you drop the ego, you think more freely. What came out the other side is two guys who hunt less and capitalize more. Kelly has been on four mule deer hunts without the big one he's after, and instead of counting them as four failures he counts them as 28 total days of learning. Jameson laid in the weeds for six hours waiting on bedded bucks rather than push a stalk he knew wouldn't work. They both stopped hunting individual buck beds off theory and moved to hunting whatever sign is hot that week. The tactical run in the middle is worth the listen on its own. The one hidden corner of a cut cornfield that the biggest bucks hit in daylight within a couple days of the combine leaving, every year, regardless of the calendar. Why bucks buffer off a field edge and sprint 60 yards before they feed, and the young oak Kelly had planted at 23 yards to fix it. What a 2 a.m. scrape picture usually means about the next afternoon. Why Kelly would rather bump a buck out of his bed than stay a step behind him. And the only weather trigger either of them will get out of bed for. In this episode: Why they stepped away from hunting, and what getting off social media did for it Pursuing the Allegheny, eleven years later What changed out West in twelve years, and the advice from Jared Lyle that stuck Kelly's mule deer math: 28 days, not four failures The lunch break set that killed a buck that same evening What a 2 a.m. scrape picture usually means about tomorrow afternoon The corner of the cut corn the biggest bucks hit in daylight every year Target panic, and a raghorn at 20 yards in Wyoming Where buck bedding stopped working for them, and hunting hot sign instead Bumping deer out of bed and hunting them anyway The only weather trigger either of them will get out of bed for The transplanted scrape tree, and why bucks buffer off a field edge Managing a farm after years on public Hunting for yourself instead of for the internet The Wilderness Society - https://act.wilderness.org/a/26bcpledge-eastwest-1 Instagram:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@eastmeetswesthunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠East Meets West Outdoors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Beau Martonik - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon Influencer Page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 496 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Yaroslav Trofimov, Ukrainian-born chief foreign affairs correspondent for The Wall Street Journal and author of Our Enemies Will Vanish, about the Russia-Ukraine war, CIA director John Ratcliffe's recent visit to Moscow, and the growing risk that Russia will escalate beyond Ukraine's borders to test NATO's Article 5, how America's entanglement in the Middle East has depleted Western missile reserves and emboldened the Kremlin, turmoil inside Zelensky's government, China's role in prolonging a war it wants neither side to win, and the deepening fracture in the transatlantic alliance. Yaroslav and Demetri begin their conversation by trying to make sense of the war — its origins, its stakes, and the prospects for its near-term conclusion. They assess claims related to the CIA director's recent trip to Moscow, the form that any potential Russian attack on NATO could take, and what the Europeans can do to try to stop it. They also discuss the political turmoil surrounding a recent shakeup in President Zelensky's cabinet, claims of corruption, and whether Western countries can be expected to continue supporting Ukraine amid declining public support for the war and mounting political resistance movements led by Europe's far-right parties.  The second hour examines Western strategic thinking and the widening schism between Washington and the capitals of Europe's largest countries. They discuss why Yaroslav believes the West's difficulties begin with a flawed diagnosis of the war based on the comforting assumption that this is a fight over territory in the Donbas rather than a contest over the future of Europe, the ideological sympathy many on the right feel toward Moscow, the nature and limits of China's support for Russia, how the war against Iran is reshaping the strategic battlefield by consuming Washington's attention and roughly half of US Patriot and THAAD interceptor reserves while bolstering Russian oil revenues, the implications for Taiwan and US allies in the Pacific, and why Europe increasingly views America not merely as an unreliable ally but as a potential strategic threat—a shift that may have mortally wounded the transatlantic relationship as it has existed since the end of World War II.

How did we arrive at an age of global instability, conflict and political distrust, and can democracy renew itself? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, Tom Sutcliffe is joined by three guests to examine the pressures facing the international order and the ideas that might help sustain it.Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown discusses his new book The Future Starts With Us, which argues that the erosion of civic life and the fracturing of the rules-based international system are deeply connected. Drawing on global research and decades of political experience, he makes the case for renewed civic engagement as the foundation for a more equitable and sustainable future.Political scientist Francis Fukuyama became one of the most influential thinkers of the post-Cold War era after the publication of ‘The End of History and the Last Man' in 1992. In his new memoir, In the Realm of the Last Man, he reflects on the events and ideas that shaped that argument, his subsequent break with neoconservatism after the Iraq War, and his reassessment of the strengths and vulnerabilities of liberal democracy in today's multipolar world. Bronwen Maddox, Director and Chief Executive of Chatham House, brings her perspective on a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. From the war in Ukraine and European security to debates about democracy, power and America's constitutional future as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, she assesses the challenges facing the West and the international order.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

What do you do when your father leaves behind an unfinished novel—and your father happens to be one of the most beloved and prolific storytellers in American literature? Do you finish it? And if you do, how do you make it his story while also making it your own? That's the fascinating challenge Beau L'Amour faced with Skyring Water, a new novel based on a partial manuscript by his late father, legendary author Louis L'Amour. The story takes us to 1961, when the Cold War is reaching a dangerous point. The Berlin Wall is dividing East and West. Nuclear tensions are escalating. Empires are crumbling. And then, in Barcelona, a rogue East German STASI officer sets off a chain of events involving struggling arms dealers, organized crime, intelligence agencies—and 30 tons of stolen gold hidden in an icebound wilderness at the end of the world. At the center are Mike Fowler, a former Navy salvage diver and OSS assassin, and Anton Voss, an expatriate German scientist whose mysterious past becomes increasingly dangerous. Once enemies, they've become inseparable friends. But when Mike discovers Anton standing over a midnight visitor with a gun, everything changes. Soon they're running from gangsters, the CIA, Israeli intelligence, and a mysterious organization intent on building an invisible empire. The trail stretches from Marseille to Caracas to Patagonia—and eventually leads straight into Anton's Nazi past. Today, I'm joined by Beau L'Amour to talk about Skyring Water, the extraordinary process of completing a story his father began, and what it means to collaborate with a writer who has been gone for years—but whose voice remains unmistakable.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, do you use TikTok, Instagram, X, or any social media? What about a computer? Laptop? iPhone? Smart TV? Have you seen a doctor or been to a hospital? Have you driven a car? Taken an airplane? Use email? Congratulations! You use AI! And in order to use AI, you need data centers. Amazing how quickly people fall for lies about data centers. It's the pandemic and fracking all over again. Luddites who don't believe in industrial progress tell people they'll lose their jobs, but data centers will create jobs you've never even heard of. If we want to keep pace with adversaries like China, we'd better ignore the Luddites and pandering politicians and go all in on industrial progress. Meanwhile, a counter-push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House? Then, imams of a Shia Muslim mosque in Dearborn, Michigan pledged its allegiance to the Islamic regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of "devil-worshipers." Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamic terrorists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei, told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals. Later, arm the Iranian people, the time is now. The Reagan Doctrine worked. Let us not be risk averse in the middle of a war when we seek victory and thousands of Iranian people have been and are being slaughtered. We can't predict everything in a war; if we are not going to arm the Iranian people, then let's ask the Israelis to do so. They are likely less risk averse, and their Mossad certainly has a good handle on who is who there. The Socialists, Marxists, and Islamists condemn America, its founding, and the Constitution. Any Democrat or DSA candidate who has stated they cannot abide the Constitution or seek to fundamentally alter it without amending it must not be seated in the next Congress, a position which is compelled by the Constitution itself. Article 6, Clause 3 requires senators, representatives, and other officers to be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution; they cannot be seated until they take that oath, which is a requirement of serving rather than a ceremonial act. Ryan Reynolds is an irrelevant actor who called the 1980s a “brutal time,” a “fu*king mess” of sociopolitical tension. The 1980's were a spectacular era of economic growth, restored American superpower status, Reagan's defeat of the Soviet Union and eight years of great Americanism. Hatred of the 1980s is really hatred of Reagan and Republicans; those who reject its economics in favor of 1930s-style big-government programs (New Deal through Biden) or who recast activist government as a new national-conservative idea are recycling old liberal-Republican/RINO thinking.

Underground and urban warfare have become the decisive battlegrounds of modern warfare, yet for a long time, military doctrine has been built to avoid both, said John Spencer, a retired U.S. Army major and chair of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point's Modern War Institute.He's repeatedly embedded himself in active war zones, from Gaza to Ukraine, and personally walked through the nearly two-mile-long Hamas tunnel, wide enough to drive a truck through, that led from Gaza City right up to the Israel-Gaza border wall.A leading expert on urban and underground warfare, he argues that subterranean warfare is spreading globally. He also argues that enemies of the West have deliberately weaponized the laws of war itself, using civilians as shields.How can democratic nations defend themselves when non-state actors intentionally weaponize civilian deaths to create political leverage? How are manipulated statistics and social media disinformation warping the public's understanding of modern-day battlefield realities? And what do we keep getting wrong about modern warfare?Spencer is the author of the new book “Twenty Times I Almost Died: Life Lessons from the Edge of Survival.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Katie Gaddini, sociologist, a visiting scholar at Stanford University, an associate professor of sociology at the Social Research Institute, University College London (UCL) and a research associate at the University of Johannesburg department of sociology, and the author of Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right (WW Norton, 2026), talks about her research into the activism of right-wing Christian women and their leadership of the political evangelical movement. Ian Shapiro, professor of political science and global affairs at Yale University, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of After the Fall: From the End of History to the Crisis of Democracy, How Politicians Broke Our World (Basic Books, 2026), traces the breakdown in democratic institutions to missteps by Western leaders following the fall of the Soviet Union. Isaac Butler, culture historian, critic, podcaster and the author of The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Wars (Bloomsbury, 2026), revisits the late 1980s start of the culture wars as the religious right took on the contemporary art world. As the number of adults who report reading books has declined, Rose Horowitch, staff writer for The Atlantic, argues that we're living in a "post-literate world" and talks about what that means for society. As part of the yearlong series "Wild NYC," Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, and Clara Holmes, plant ecologist at New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, talk about the challenges facing local wildflowers and native plants and how to preserve them.

Turning back time to 2018, we revisit a conversation between Dr. Thurman and Raghu Markus about facing reality, transforming our reactivity, and understanding karma.You can help continue Dr. Thurman's life's work to preserve Tibetan culture. Visit Tibet House to learn more.In this episode, Robert Thurman and Raghu explore: Buddhism as a realistic approach to understanding realityThe projections and stories we tell ourselves every dayWorking with fear and judgment in meditationEntering the gaps of mental reactivityKarma: an intentional action with evolutionary consequencesThe relationship between self-awareness and the direction of our karmaBuddhist perspectives on rebirth and reincarnationThe distinction between unconscious rebirth and consciously choosing to returnNeem Karoli Baba and the experience of living completely in realityThe intimate connection between absolute reality and unconditional loveAbout Dr. Robert Thurman: Robert Thurman (1941-2026) was an American Buddhist author and academic who wrote, edited, and translated many books on Tibetan Buddhism. He was the Je Tsongkhapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University before retiring in June 2019. He held the first endowed chair in Buddhist Studies in the West. After education at Phillips Exeter and Harvard, he studied Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism for almost thirty years as a personal student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He wrote both scholarly and popular books and lectured widely all over the world. As President of the American Institute for Buddhist Studies, he convened the First Inner Science Conference with His Holiness the Dalai Lama at Amherst College in 1984. He was also a founding trustee of Tibet House New York. Check out his most recent book Wisdom Is Bliss: Four Friendly Fun Facts That Can Change Your Life. Robert Thurman made many appearances on our network, and he is greatly missed. “Being realistic is the best approach because the better you understand reality, the happier you will be. The less you understand it, the more unnecessary trouble you will put yourself through. That's why when people ask what Buddhism is, I tell them that Buddhism is realism.” –Robert ThurmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John sits down with sociologist and author Frank Furedi to discuss why millions of people across the West are turning against the political establishment, the rise of populism, the collapse of trust in traditional institutions, and the growing divide between ordinary citizens and the elites who govern them.From immigration and multiculturalism to education, free speech, national identity and the future of democracy, Furedi argues that populism is not simply a threat to the political order — it is a response to people feeling ignored by it. The conversation explores what has been lost, why citizenship matters, and whether Western democracies can rebuild a shared culture strong enough to survive.Frank Furedi is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent and the author of 26 books, including most recently In Defence of Populism. His work has focused on cultural developments in Western societies, including the culture of fear, education, identity, national sovereignty and the changing relationship between citizens and political institutions. He is a regular commentator on radio and television and has contributed extensively to media outlets across the UK and internationally.A long-time friend of the program, Frank was one of John's earliest Conversations guests, first appearing on the show in April 2018.

In a shocking display of bureaucratic ineptitude, the city of Los Angeles is leaving residents in the dark - literally. For over a year and a half, streetlights on the 100 block of West 58th Street have been out, leaving residents concerned for their safety and frustrated with the city's lack of response. Meanwhile, a serial sidewalk pooper in Brentwood has been defecating on the sidewalk for years, with neighbors calling for help and the city's homeless services taking six months to find her. It's just another day in California, where the absurdity of it all is starting to wear thin.This episode of the podcast delves into the issues plaguing California, from the state's crumbling infrastructure to the failures of its government. The speaker discusses the recent news of PG&E's threats to pull $2 billion in planned spending due to a wildfire liability bill's collapse, and the suspicious relationship between Gavin Newsom and the utility company. The conversation also touches on the city of Los Angeles' inability to provide basic services, such as functioning streetlights, and the consequences of voting for the same politicians who create these problems.The speaker highlights the absurdity of a system where people are more concerned with hating Donald Trump than with holding their elected officials accountable for their actions. The discussion also covers the consequences of this mentality, including the rise of homelessness and the decline of public services. The speaker emphasizes that change can only come from within, and that voters must take responsibility for their choices at the ballot box.If you're tired of living in a state where the absurdity of it all is starting to wear thin, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on the issues plaguing California. From the city's failures to the state's politicians, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking for a dose of reality and a call to action.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael Gove is joined by political scientist Francis Fukuyama to discuss liberalism, populism and the future of democracy in an increasingly unstable world.Francis reflects on The End of History and why its argument was so often misunderstood, before turning to the transformation of the American right under Donald Trump. Why have traditional conservative ideas lost their hold – and what explains the rise of populism across the West?They also discuss Brexit, which Francis argues Britain should reconsider, the importance of patriotism and national identity, and why liberals have too often neglected both.And looking to the future, Francis warns about the impact of artificial intelligence on work and democracy, explains why universal basic income will not solve the problem, and offers one piece of advice to young people: don't learn how to code.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.  Hosted on Acast.

Independent journalist and author Shane Cashman joins the program to discuss the month he spent documenting the life of Kanye West. Cashman shares how the two met and how that encounter developed into an ongoing dialogue, with West opening up about some of his deepest thoughts during an extraordinary period of his life—including his run for president, the loss of his Nike contract, and the possibility of divorce from his wife, Kim Kardashian. Cashman also describes West's strangeness and unpredictability, leading to a broader discussion about the world of celebrity and the handlers who often surround powerful public figures. Who are these handlers, why are they there, and what role do they actually play?  We also dive into the Dead Internet Theory and what it means in an online world increasingly populated by bots, algorithms, AI-generated content and manufactured engagement. How much of the internet are we actually experiencing through real human interaction, and how much is being artificially created or controlled?You can purchase Shane Cashman's new book and follow his work at ShaneCashman.com.Sign up for the Newsletter and see exclusives now located at WestallMedia.com or still at SarahWestall.substack.com.

Donald Wright speaks with Bill Moreau about his book The Writings of David Thompson, Volume 3: From the Northwest to Montreal, Selected Letters and Contributions to Newspapers, published by the Champlain Society in 2025. David Thompson is one of the touchstone figures in the early history of Canada, and is celebrated for his distinguished fur trade career with the Hudson's Bay Company and North West Company. But Thompson's life after he retired from this career in 1812 is less well known. The forty-five years of Thompson's post-fur trade life, spent largely in Glengarry County and Montreal, were as dramatic and historically relevant in their own way as his years in the West: his family grew, his financial fortunes waxed and then devastatingly waned, and his work as a surveyor took him from the St. Lawrence to Lake of the Woods, to the Eastern Townships, Muskoka, and New York City. Volume 3 of the Writings of David Thompson gives us a deeper appreciation of the full life of this fascinating figure. Made up of professional and personal letters, and contributions to Montreal newspapers, this volume follows Thompson through all the stages of his life, beginning with his years with the HBC and NWC, continuing through an active middle period as a Glengarry landowner and international boundary surveyor, and then into later life as venerable contributor to public debates and supplicant for pension and patronage. As we read through Thompson's letters, addressed to fur trade colleagues, boundary commission officials, colonial administrators, British and American cabinet member and personal friends, his life and times come into vivid focus. This volume nicely complements Thompson's Travels, the work that is the subject of Volumes I and II, and is marked by the same incisive mind, intellectual breadth, reflectiveness, and literary skill that characterize that great narrative. Bill Moreau is the editor of the three-volume Writings of David Thompson, the final volume of which was published last fall by the Champlain Society. Bill lives with his family in Vaughan, Ontario, and teaches Grade 5 at Dunlace Public School in North York If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

In this episode, renowned neurosurgeon, author, and compassion researcher the late Dr. James Doty shares the remarkable true story that changed the course of his life. (He shared his story in an interview with Mark in 2020.)Growing up in difficult circumstances, Dr. Doty recalls being a 12-year-old boy filled with anger, fear, and hopelessness, convinced he had no future. Everything began to change one summer afternoon when he wandered into a small magic shop and met an extraordinary woman whose kindness would alter his life's direction.She greeted him with a genuine smile, treated him with dignity, and created a sense of psychological safety that allowed him to be seen—not as a troubled child, but as someone with unlimited potential. Over the following six weeks, she introduced him to practices that were virtually unknown in the West at the time: mindfulness, self-compassion, and the power of reshaping the stories we tell ourselves.Dr. Doty explains that our minds naturally cling to negative experiences, creating an inner narrative that can limit our lives. By learning to replace thoughts like "I'm not good enough" with beliefs rooted in self-worth and possibility, he began to see both himself and the world differently.He describes how changing his inner dialogue transformed every aspect of his future—from believing he could attend college and medical school to becoming a Stanford neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, founder of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, and author of the bestselling memoir Into the Magic Shop.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Doty reminds us that mindfulness and self-compassion are not simply feel-good practices—they literally help us access our innate capacity for resilience, purpose, and connection. As we become kinder to ourselves, we begin to recognize that everyone carries a story, everyone experiences suffering, and everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.He closes with a powerful reminder that each of us has the opportunity, every single day, to make one person's life a little better.Dr. James R. Doty was a neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. He founded the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford, an internationally recognized center exploring the science of compassion, mindfulness, and human flourishing.His bestselling memoir, Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart, has inspired readers around the world with its message that compassion, intention, and self-belief can transform lives.Although Dr. Doty has since passed away, his work continues to influence medicine, neuroscience, education, and the growing field of compassion research.Thank you for listening—and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

September 3, 2026 Artificial Intelligence Isn't Taking These Jobs w/ Darren Paulson – DT 475 Darren Paulson is the VP of Product at BuildWitt and a construction technology veteran who spent more than two decades managing systems, data, and technology across some of the largest civil and concrete operations in the West. He's touched nearly every corner of construction tech, from business systems and GPS to the tools contractors are now using to rethink how work gets done. He breaks down why construction has historically struggled to adopt new technology, where AI can actually make a difference, and why the goal shouldn't be replacing the people doing the work. Instead, the best technology should eliminate the paperwork, repetitive processes, and other nonsense that gets in their way so they can spend more time doing what the industry exists to do: build.

Are the protests filling Western streets truly spontaneous - or are some being engineered from above? Investigative journalist Nate Friedman followed the money behind what looked like grassroots activism. He says he uncovered repeat organisers, nonprofit pass-throughs, more than $20 million connected to one little-known billionaire—and the same network appearing behind cause after cause. Subscribe to his amazing channel:  @natefriedman  In this rare long-form conversation, Nate reveals how he tracks the people and organisations behind mass demonstrations, why activists tried to block his street interviews and why he says major protests suddenly disappeared after federal investigators began asking questions. He tells Andrew what shocked him most when he came to Britain, why New York could be a warning to the rest of the West, how social media helps charismatic radicals gain power—and why the funding trail keeps leading back to China. But Andrew challenges him on the questions his critics will ask: Are ordinary protesters actually being paid? Can street interviews represent an entire community? Does editing distort the picture? And is Nate documenting a coordinated political machine—or only its loudest members? The conversation becomes deeply personal as Nate recalls losing Charlie Kirk, encountering students who celebrated it and making a decision that changed his mission. Watch to the end to discover the investigation Nate is building now—and why he says his goal is nothing less than saving the West.

Government contracting overhead management is where most small business contractors silently lose profit, and West Edwards breaks down the exact above-the-line and below-the-line system he uses to protect margins and keep his doors open at any revenue level. West is a roofing and loan services contractor who has watched a $100 million company collapse in three weeks because the owner never controlled overhead, and he shares the budget math that prevents it. He walks through how to separate true cost of goods from fixed G and A expenses on your P and L, why your overhead percentage climbs the moment you miss your general revenue target, and how to set a budget number you can actually reach instead of a wishful sales goal.

Mule deer are still the vanishing icon of the West, and if you care about public land hunting, this conversation explains exactly why. Greg Sheehan, CEO of the Mule Deer Foundation, lays out the hard truth behind the decline, what changed after the mule deer heyday, and what hunters and conservation groups are doing right now to turn it around. Greg brings a rare perspective to the problem. He's spent decades on both sides of wildlife management, from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Land Management, and now he's focused on one species and one mission - restoring mule deer and their habitat. We break down the forces reshaping mule deer numbers across the West, including habitat loss, winter severity, drought, wildfire, migration barriers, invasive grasses, disease, and competition from other deer species. Greg also explains why modern mule deer management is so different from the 1960s boom years, why the old “good old days” are gone, and why today's hunters are seeing fewer mature bucks on the landscape. You'll discover: Why mule deer populations surged in the early 1900s and peaked mid-century How severe winters in the early 1990s reshaped deer herds across the West The “menacing seven” threats hurting mule deer today Why fence removal, sagebrush planting, guzzlers, and habitat work matter so much How access on National Wildlife Refuges expanded and why that was a major win for hunters We also get into the bigger conservation picture - how state agencies, federal land managers, and groups like the Mule Deer Foundation fund real on-the-ground projects, why membership matters, and what it takes to keep mule deer from becoming a rare opportunity instead of a mainstream hunt.Essential listening if you hunt mule deer, care about western habitat, or want to understand what's really happening behind the numbers.

What happens when ranchers, hunters, conservationists, and rewilders fight over the future of the West? Tom Opre returns to discuss The Real Yellowstone, a documentary examining the complicated relationship between ranching, wildlife, conservation, and the changing landscape of the American West. The film asks difficult questions about who manages wildlife, who benefits from it, and what happens when longtime rural communities collide with new ideas about rewilding and public lands. The conversation digs into regenerative ranching and how carefully managed grazing can improve soil health, water retention, biodiversity, and even wildfire resilience. Opre also explains how elk herds can create significant economic pressure on ranchers while highlighting models that allow wildlife to provide value back to the people stewarding the land. For hunters and anglers, the discussion goes beyond the usual arguments about hunting and conservation. Opre makes the case that hunting, fishing, agriculture, and rural communities are all connected to the broader conservation system, from habitat and clean drinking water to funding for wildlife management. The conversation also explores the growing disconnect between urban populations and rural America, the politics surrounding hunting and trapping, the future of public access, and why sportsmen may need to get better at telling conservation's story.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, a counter push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes, there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House? Then, imams of a Shia Muslim mosque in Dearborn, Michigan pledged its allegiance to the Islamic regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of "devil-worshipers." Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals.  Meanwhile, national conservatism is a form of older paleo conservatism and such isms are not new - like Theodore Roosevelt's progressive nationalism and Huey Long who rebranded fascism as anti-fascism. This echoes Orwell's remark that every government, even communist ones, claims to be a democracy. Words have meanings that politicians often confuse and contort, and conservatives and Republicans should not abandon one of the greatest periods of conservatism and Republicanism in the 80's, just as they should not abandon Trump. Later, certain infrastructure, including Kharg island, must be taken out and the Iranian people armed. Even if the regime's leaders lack money, they remain like World War II Japanese kamikazes: religious zealots who treated the Emperor as God on earth, prayed, fought, and lived for him—the product of nationalism. The Iranian regime will not surrender for its people's good or because its military is defeated, and any document or negotiation it signs is merely an ends-justifies-the-means tactic. The regime must therefore be obliterated and eliminated. The only real way to overthrow it is from within; the President has created the conditions for that, but unless further steps are taken the concern remains that collapse could simply produce another such regime. Finally, Stacy Garrity calls in to discuss her run for Governor in Pennsylvania against Josh Shapiro. Shapiro appears to view himself as a lock for governor, but Garrity argues he has major weaknesses and is more focused on national ambitions than helping Pennsylvania families. Shapiro has never faced a serious opponent or a negative ad in over a decade, so voters still see him as a moderate when he is not. Learn more about your ad choices.

Is America actually in decline, or are we just watching the same cycle that has destroyed civilizations before?Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes author and political blogger, Curtis Yarvin, onto the show for a provocative look at the fate of America, and whether the country is approaching the end of an era. They dig into Rome, California, and whether the West is genuinely in trouble, or if comparing America to collapsing civilizations is just “astrology for men.”Curtis challenges Michael's optimism about the state of the world and lays out his darker predictions for what could happen if Republicans lose in 2028. They also revisit 9/11, the Cold War, the decline of high-trust society, the exponential growth of parasocial relationships, and the increasingly tribal nature of American politics. Somehow, even Danny Bonaduce becomes part of the historical analogy.And beneath it all is one uncomfortable question: have Americans lost the ability to change their political reality, or is something much bigger about to break? And, if the current system really is heading toward a reckoning, will 2028 finally produce the candidate willing to look the entire political establishment in the face and simply say: “F you.”https://x.com/curtis_yarvinhttps://graymirror.substack.com/https://passage.press/collections/curtis-yarvinPre-Order UNWANTED – A TALE OF THE OLD WEST AND THE NEW WAVE: https://UnwantedBook.comOrder THE WHITE PILL: http://whitepillbook.com/Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK: https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJOrder THE NEW RIGHT: https://amzn.to/2IFFCCuOrder DEAR READER: https://t.co/vZfTVkK6qf?amp=1https://twitter.com/michaelmalicehttps://instagram.com/michaelmalicehttps://malice.locals.comhttps://youtube.com/michaelmaliceofficialIntro song: "Out of Reach" by Legendary House Cats https://thelegendaryhousecats.bandcamp.com/The newest episode of "YOUR WELCOME" releases on iTunes and YouTube every Wednesday!

   We begin the Football Feast with Stan Weber  analyzing the Chiefs 53 man roster.  There are more question marks right now than answers up and down this roster but Stan is in no panic mode.  Get Mahomes on the field, beat the Broncos and watch everything change, is his theme.  It's a three team race in the West and we will share our thoughts.    Then, we dive into this past messy month of college football eligibility and how it may, or may not, affect some teams right out of the gate.    One by one... we tackle Mizzou vs Ark Pine Bluff, Long Island vs KU and Nicholls State vs. KSU.  Three nights in a row a local game for college fans in KC to feast upon.  It's here.  Let's go!

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The evolutionary behavioral scientist and public intellectual Gad Saad recently published an influential book entitled Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. In it, Saad argues that much of the West has, unfortunately, come to embrace a perversely deficient understanding of empathy, twisting the natural and otherwise noble human capacity to feel and respond to other peoples' sufferings into a moral license to upend the moral, economic, and political order. According to the dictates of suicidal empathy, for example, society should prioritize criminals over victims, illegal immigrants over citizens, lawbreakers over law abiders, racial identity over competence, adult sexual expression over childhood innocence, and trans women––that is, men pretending to be women––over real women. Suicidal empathy's endgame, Saad warns, is nothing less than societal ruin and the eventual totalitarian eclipse of the individual. How, from a Catholic perspective, should we assess these claims? Is Saad's characterization of suicidal empathy and its dangers accurate? If so, how should we, as Christians, constructively respond? What role, in particular, should the biblical conception of love play in defining what it means to show true compassion and care for those in need? Here to discuss Saad's book and to explain how authentic Christian charity is—and is not—related to empathy, is Bishop Robert Barron.
