Stéphanie welcomes Os Guinness back again on the Gospel Spice podcast. Os offers his analysis of the critical juncture facing Western civilization, particularly America, and provides a trustworthy framework for Christians to understand and thoughtfully respond to today's unique social, cultural, and political challenges. Os Guinness's recent book, Our Civilizational Moment, gave Stephanie a framework to understand the current news headlines, including the assassination and memorial service of Charlie Kirk, a devoted follower of Jesus who died for his beliefs. She and Os discuss the events as Os provides a uniquely courageous and nuanced perspective. Os urges Christians to think deeply, be courageous, and avoid simple partisanship. He advocates looking back to the biblical foundations—faith, family, education—and promoting them through partnership with like-minded individuals, including Jews. Christian maturity means engaging with nuance, confession, and humility, rather than tribalism or reactionary politics. He also hopes for a significant national conversation and rededication, especially approaching America's 250th anniversary, rooted in prayer, repentance, and recommitment to core biblical principles. THE CONVERSATION MORE IN DEPTH Os Guinness defines the concept of a “civilizational moment,” which is a critical point in a civilization's history when its foundational principles are either renewed, replaced, or lost, leading to decline. For the West, this moment involves deciding whether to return to its Judeo-Christian roots or continue on a path shaped by secular Enlightenment thought and radical ideologies. Every civilization faces a time when it must choose—renew what made it great, replace it with something else, or decline and fall. Os describes four major “waves” or movements currently undermining the West from within: · The Red Wave: Rooted in cultural Marxism, this movement has transitioned from economic revolution to influencing culture and institutions over decades. · The Rainbow Wave: The sexual revolution, driven not just by recent pop culture but by deep philosophical roots aiming to overturn centuries of Judeo-Christian and Jewish values about humanity and sexuality. · The Black Wave: Radical Islamism, which has allied itself with the other movements to destabilize Western civilization. · The Gold Wave : A nod to economic and technological factors, less emphasized during the conversation, but brilliantly explained in the book. Os explains their convergence—especially the surprising alliance between radical left movements and Islamism—as an effort to dismantle the traditional Western order. These movements often work together, despite their differences, because they share a goal of undermining the Christian-influenced foundations of Western civilization. Guinness reminds listeners that the West owes its structure to the Christian faith, rooted in Judaism. Other influences (Greek, Roman) contributed, but it was the biblical worldview—especially covenantal thinking from the Old Testament—that shaped institutions and ideals. A loss of conviction in these roots leads to confusion about identity and direction, both culturally and politically. America in particular is experiencing: · Ideological Polarization: A deep divide between visions anchored either in the American Revolution (biblical) or the French Revolution (secular, Enlightenment). · Institutional Polarization: Growing distrust between elites and ordinary citizens. · Crisis of Words: The breakdown of truthful, respectful communication, leading to increased violence and mistrust. Os cautions against seeking solutions purely through power or politics, whether from the left or right. Both extremes, if detached from biblical truth and justice, are dangerous. Hope is found in trusting God, returning to biblical truth, and joining together, beyond politics, to seek the good of society and witness to the gospel. Our “civilizational moment” requires discernment, wisdom, and Christ-centered courage. Christians are called to be salt and light—engaging culture thoughtfully, grounded in truth, and seeking both the renewal of their nation and the flourishing of humanity worldwide. Os helps us identify the key cultural forces at play, and explore how Christians can wisely and courageously navigate this pivotal time. MORE ABOUT “OUR CIVILIZATIONAL MOMENT” Purchase the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Civilizational-Moment-Waning-Worlds/dp/B0DL3LW558/ Where do you find the great civilizations of the world? In ruins, in museums, and in history books. Each one in its time rose, flourished, and then declined and fell. Is the West facing its own civilizational moment today? A civilizational moment is a critical transition phase in the rise, course, and decline of a civilization when a civilization loses its decisive connection with the dynamic that inspired it. Such a moment must then issue in one of three broad options: a renewal of the dynamic that inspired the civilization in the first place, a successful replacement of the original dynamic by another, or the decline of the civilization. In sum, the issue for a civilization in a civilizational moment is its vision of ultimate reality: Is the civilization in living touch with the ideas, ideals, and inspiration that created it in the first place and that it needs to continue to flourish? Or, with its roots severed, is it destined to decline and die? Guinness's analysis is wide-ranging and hard-hitting, but he ends with hope. This book is for all who care about the state of the world, who strive for a human-friendly future, and who are ready to make a stand for what matters. MORE ABOUT OS GUINNESS Os Guinness is an author and social critic. Great-great-great grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer, he was born in China in World War Two where his parents were medical missionaries. A witness to the climax of the Chinese revolution in 1949, he was expelled with many other foreigners in 1951 and returned to Europe where he was educated in England. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of London and his D.Phil in the social sciences from Oriel College, Oxford. Os has written or edited more than thirty books, including The Call, Time for Truth, Unspeakable, A Free People's Suicide, and The Global Public Square. His latest book, Last Call for Liberty: How America's Genius for Freedom Has Become Its Greatest Threat, was published in 2018. Since moving to the United States in 1984, Os has been a Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies, a Guest Scholar and Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum and the EastWest Institute in New York. He was the lead drafter of the Williamsburg Charter in 1988, a celebration of the bicentennial of the US Constitution, and later of “The Global Charter of Conscience,” which was published at the European Union Parliament in 2012.

On September 10th Charlie Kirk was killed in broad daylight on a college campus in Utah by the alleged assassin Tyler Robinson. Another casualty of the woke war on the West. An insidious revolt that many Christians have a hard time wrapping their minds around, which is why this edition of Hank Unplugged is dedicated to summarizing the issue at hand in memorable fashion via the word W–O–K–E. “W” representing the word Worldview. Students, particularly in the West, are being propagandized by a WOKE WORLDVIEW. Charlie Kirk was committed to dismantling the absurdities of this paradigm in polite and principled public discussion. “O” will serve to remind us of the word “Oppression.” The woke West seems intractably bent on taking the Marxist oppressor/oppressed maxim to unthinkable extremes. Their objective is to liberate an entire generation from such perceived oppressions as cis-gender normativity, and from the oppression of what is perceived to be arbitrary moral law. “K” — I use the letter “K” to emblazon upon our collective consciousness that Kids — your kids, my kids, are a primary target of leftist woke revolutionaries. Charlie Kirk recognized this reality and, as such, became the enticing target for an assassin's bullet. “E” serves to remind you and me of Extremism. Extremism in Education, Environmentalism, and in Entertainment. The murder of Charlie Kirk is emblematic of the woke worldview war being waged against you, your children, and against the very soul of Western Civilization. Charlie Kirk, may your memory be eternal.

How abused UK Minister's wife fought the system and won! (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 210, Season 22, Episode 0001 This week's Black Spy Podcast continues last week's venture into one of the most troubling and complex intersections of politics, justice, media, and personal trauma. Host Carlton King is joined by journalist and publicist Firgas Esack, who brings both professional insight and lived experience as a survivor of domestic abuse, to dissect the extraordinary and disturbing case of former Conservative government minister Andrew Griffith and his ex-wife, Kate Griffith. The discussion begins with the deeply personal: Kate Griffith's harrowing allegations of coercive control and marital rape during her marriage to Andrew Griffith, an abuse which highlights the dark realities too often hidden behind the public façades of power. Firgas and Carlton explore how these dynamics echo the experiences of countless women, showing how the language of love, loyalty, and parental responsibility is frequently weaponised to keep victims silent and trapped. The conversation then widens to examine systemic issues: the underfunding of the criminal justice system, the shortcomings of parliamentary standards, and the uneven way cases of domestic and sexual abuse are handled in both the courts and the media. Why do survivors so often feel disbelieved or dismissed? Why does the system still lean toward protecting the reputations of powerful men over the safety and dignity of women? A striking dimension of the Griffith case is its political twist: following their divorce, Kate Griffith went on to win her ex-husband's former parliamentary seat, a moment that raises difficult questions about power, gender, and the resilience of survivors. Firgas and Carlton reflect on what it means when the abused literally takes the place of the abuser within the same structures of state power—and whether this represents justice, irony, or something more troubling. Both episodes also address wider societal narratives: the persistence of misogyny, the culture of male blame, and the contested notion of the parental prerogative—the belief that parents, no matter their abusive behaviour, should retain access to their children. This debate exposes the tensions between a child's welfare, the rights of survivors, and the rights of perpetrators who seek to maintain control through family courts. Together, these two episodes present not just a single case but a lens on Britain's political class, its justice system, and its societal attitudes toward gendered violence. They ask listeners to confront whether progress is being made, or whether institutions remain complicit in sustaining patterns of abuse.

Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on free speech, censorship, and the dangers of state overreach.Lukianoff warns that Britain is sliding into authoritarianism with the Online Safety Act, the arrest of comedian Graham Linehan for “offensive tweets,” and thousands of citizens detained each year for speech crimes. He explains why Americans should be alarmed—not only because of cultural ties, but because UK and EU laws like the Digital Services Act now risk exporting censorship to the United States.They discuss the chilling effect of “non-crime hate incidents,” the hypocrisy of politicians who ignore Islamist extremism while cracking down on online speech, and why Big Tech is tripping over itself to appease Brussels bureaucrats. Lukianoff contrasts this with the Trump administration's free speech battles on university campuses, where anti-Semitism and harassment rationales are being used to justify speech codes.They also dive into the deeper history—Lenin, Marx, communism, and why the West never reckoned with the crimes of socialism—leaving us vulnerable to a new wave of ideological totalitarianism.All this—Britain's speech crisis, EU overreach, Trump and the universities, and the global struggle to preserve freedom of expression in the 21st century…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 & Guest Welcome 02:49 - Graham Linehan's Arrest and Free Speech in the UK 05:08 - Arrests for Offensive Speech in the UK 07:34 - Non-Crime Hate Incidents and Social Attitudes 10:03 - Malcolm Gladwell, Trans Issues, and Chilling Effects 14:03 - The Online Safety Act and Censorship of Americans 17:04 - Why Americans Care About British Free Speech 19:14 - The EU Digital Services Act and Global Censorship 22:20 - Protecting Children Online: Policy and Parental Controls 28:41 - Free Speech in America: Trump, Wokeism, and Ideology 32:31 - Communism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism: Historical Parallels 36:30 - Reckoning with Socialism and Communism 39:30 - Karl Popper, Tolerance, and Hate Speech Laws 42:30 - Trump Administration, Campus Speech Codes, and Harassment 45:32 - Political Correctness and Speech Codes in Higher Ed 51:02 - Harvard, Civil Rights Act, and Federal Oversight 55:56 - The Right Way to Reform University Funding 58:52 - Free Speech for Pro-Palestinian Students and Deportation 1:10:19 - Why Harvard Ranks Lowest for Free Speech 1:13:21 - FIRE's New Books and Campus Free Speech Rankings 1:13:56 - Closing Remarks Hosted on Acast.

Progressive elites have captured nearly every major American institution, replacing faith and tradition with secular humanism and a new “woke” religion that seeks to erase God and silence dissent. In this powerful conversation, Professor Nicholas Giordano speaks with Harvard Professor Emeritus Dr. Richard Kradin about his new book, A Godless Crusade: The Progressive Campaign to Rid the World of Religion. Together, they uncover how cultural Marxism evolved into today's woke crusade, why the Judeo-Christian ethic is under relentless attack, and what it means for America's future if faith and morality are driven from the public square. Episode Highlights How secular humanism became the foundation of today's culture wars. Why “wokism” operates as a secular religion determined to replace God. What Americans can do to defend their faith, values, and traditions.
How Western governments, the media & billionaires have dumbed us down! (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 208, Season 21, Episode 0009 In this week's second part of a two-part edition of The Black Spy Podcast, Dr. Rachel Taylor rejoins Carlton King to continue dissecting the forces that they began explaining last week. Dr. Rachel she argues, governments, billionaires and the mainstream mass media they control, have combined to engineer a less critical, more malleable Western society. Together, they explore how political expediency, cultural trends, and financial power converge to shape the mindset of citizens — often to the advantage of elites. Together Carlton and Rachel explore Wokeism, Infantilization, Political Expediency and undue influence by Big Business, Billionaires, and the powers that be have dumbed down western styled democracyThe discussion tackles the rise of wokeism as both a cultural movement and a political tool. Dr. Taylor examines how, rather than promoting genuine inclusivity or tolerance, the rhetoric of “wokeness” is often used superficially by politicians and institutions to avoid deeper, more difficult reforms. This, she argues, has infantilized Western youth, encouraging them to view the world through oversimplified moral binaries rather than cultivating resilience, complexity of thought, or responsibility. Carlton and Dr. Taylor ask whether this culture of fragility has left the next generation more dependent, less capable of critical thinking, and easier to manipulate. Moreover Dr. Rachel and Carlton also turn the minds to the influence of corporations and billionaires, highlighting how immense financial power shapes political agendas. They suggests that the alignment of big business and political actors promotes short-term expediency over long-term strategy, leaving the average citizen disempowered and distracted. Through advertising, media control, and cultural sponsorship, corporations not only influence consumption but also reinforce the infantilization of society by rewarding conformity and discouraging dissent. The result, they argue, is a Western public increasingly unable — or unwilling — to challenge authority or demand genuine accountability. All aspects reinforvced by the mainstream mass media who now hire news readers not analytical news anchors. Conclusion Across both episodes, the conversation underscores a provocative thesis: that Western citizens have been systematically dumbed down through a cocktail of cultural manipulation, political calculation, mainstream media manipulation and financial dominance. Dr. Taylor contends, that this serves the interests of those who benefit from a passive, compliant, and distracted public. Listeners can expect a forthright, challenging dialogue that pulls no punches in questioning the health of Western democracy and the resilience of its citizens in the face of elite control.

How is the Woke agenda seeping into the Church today? Let's look at a few aspects of Wokeism and compare them to what the Bible has to say.
From lawsuits and executive orders to funding cuts tied to antisemitism claims, the Trump White House is targeting institutions like Harvard and Columbia in what Feldman calls an effort to undermine independent centers of truth. “Trump's gone after universities, he's gone after media, and he's going after courts,” Feldman tells Ian. “Each in its own way is an independent institutional voice telling people, ‘This is the way things are.'”On the latest episode of the GZERO World Podcast, Feldman explains why this isn't just about cancel culture or campus politics—it's about whether universities will remain places where truth is pursued freely, or "knuckle" under political pressure. He discusses Harvard's legal fight with the administration, growing antisemitism on and off campus, and the deeper risks for American democracy if academic independence erodes.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Noah Feldman Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Aaron McIntire covers three major stories. First, a shooting at Fort Stewart, Georgia, where U.S. Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford, 28, allegedly shot five fellow soldiers in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area. Second, President Trump announced Apple's multi-hundred-billion dollar investment to manufacture all iPhone and Apple Watch screens in Kentucky, bringing jobs back to the U.S. Third, Brazilian feminist Isabela Cêpa became the first recognized refugee from wokeism, granted asylum in Europe after facing 25 years in prison for misgendering a transgender politician. Additional segments address Trump's dismissal of Epstein file rumors, Rubio's Ukraine peace talks update, Stephen Miller's fight against financial deplatforming, and Minnesota's new abortion law.

In this explosive monologue, the host unpacks the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, arguing it signals a dramatic shift in corporate and cultural power. What appears to be outrage over “sexist” marketing is reframed as a panic among progressive elites who've lost their grip on the advertising industry. The commentary claims that under the influence of Barack Obama and the Human Rights Campaign, corporations were pressured into pushing hyper-woke narratives—sacrificing traditional portrayals of masculinity, femininity, and heterosexuality. But now, with companies like Ford, Lowe's, and Coors retreating from DEI mandates and LGBT scoring systems, the segment sees the Sweeney ad as a watershed moment: a return to “normal” culture and free expression. The fight, the host argues, isn't about jeans—it's about the end of a censorship-industrial complex that once ruled Madison Avenue.
These two fiery segments confront major cultural flashpoints: escalating antisemitism on college campuses and the collapse of woke dominance in corporate media. The first transcript explores the shocking revelation of a "Jew Exclusion Zone" at UCLA, a federal judge's intervention, and President Trump's aggressive response—resulting in multimillion-dollar settlements from UCLA, Harvard, and Columbia for enabling antisemitic discrimination. The second transcript shifts focus to Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, dissecting progressive outrage as a sign of cultural panic. Together, the narratives argue that both academia and corporate America are witnessing a collapse of the far-left ideological grip, as traditional values and free expression push back against years of enforced political orthodoxy.
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Donald Trump takes rightful pride in his record of “Promises made, promises kept.” He delivered on another important pledge with the restoration to the U.S. Air Force of one its most formidable leaders, my colleague Matthew Lohmeier. Lieutenant Colonel Lohmeier's installation last week as that service's Under Secretary not only rights a terrible wrong – namely, Team Biden's termination of his career as an exceptional aviator and rising officer in the new Space Force for publishing a damning indictment of the Marxists' cultural warfare-enabled takedown of the U.S. military. It also puts Matt in a key management position to execute President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's orders to strip out such so-called “Wokeism,” root and branch. Unsurprisingly, keeping that promise is proving hard to do given how deep the Left's insidious rot has penetrated and subverted our armed forces. Let's roll, Matt.
This week on the Mark Levin Show, what's going on in Syria is the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of the Druze by groups like ISIS, now operating under different names within the Syrian regime. Israel is the only county to help protect the Druze and Tom Barrack, an envoy to Syria, Turkey, and Lebanon, is a disaster for condemning Israel's defensive actions as complicating the situation. Barrack's stance motivates terrorists, and he needs to go. ‘On Power' discusses negative power, which is defined as coercion, control, and force, acting as the antithesis to individual liberty, consensual government, and civil society. It rejects biblical teachings of individual sovereignty and Enlightenment principles of distributed power, favoring centralized authority as seen in ideologies like Marxism, fascism, and authoritarian democracy. Wokeism is a modern authoritarian tool that enforces specific language and behavior, punishing non-conformity with social and professional consequences. Negative power dehumanizes individuals, viewing them as part of a collective to serve the ruling class or state, undermining personal well-being and autonomy. The whole point of the Russia hoax was an effort to delegitimize and destroy Trump's candidacy and presidency. Leaks from the FBI, Department of Justice, and intelligence agencies, along with a fabricated Steele dossier and a false narrative about Russia wanting Trump elected, were used to undermine him and DNI Tulsi Gabbard has the evidence. Barack Obama was aware of these efforts and ordered a misleading intelligence assessment to support the claims. Barack Obama orchestrated the Russia collusion hoax and his role was never questioned, nor was he investigated. Obama was the mob boss in the key December 16, 2016, meeting where Obama directed a new intelligence assessment falsely claiming heavy Russian involvement to aid Trump, despite prior assessments showing minimal, ineffective interference without Trump ties. There needs to be direct questioning of Obama under oath, without a special counsel, using Gabbard's documents, and re-questioning figures like John Brennan, James Clapper, Loretta Lynch, and James Comey about Obama's involvement. There's a fundamental rift in values and morals between those who champion limited government and individual sovereignty, and those who embrace an all-powerful state. It's the battle between positive power—rooted in defending institutions, the Constitution, separation of powers, and personal freedoms—and negative power, where the ends justify any means, leading to rampant abuses.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, ‘On Power' discusses negative power, which is defined as coercion, control, and force, acting as the antithesis to individual liberty, consensual government, and civil society. It rejects biblical teachings of individual sovereignty and Enlightenment principles of distributed power, favoring centralized authority as seen in ideologies like Marxism, fascism, and authoritarian democracy. Wokeism is a modern authoritarian tool that enforces specific language and behavior, punishing non-conformity with social and professional consequences. Negative power dehumanizes individuals, viewing them as part of a collective to serve the ruling class or state, undermining personal well-being and autonomy. We need to confront and debate negative power to protect liberty and representative government. A new ruling class, the new bourgeoisie, is emerging in the U.S. and the West, defined not by wealth but by their pursuit of power. Soft negative power drives policies like controlling grocery stores, housing, or targeted taxation to consolidate influence, often at the expense of others' freedom. This creates an authoritarian democracy, where democratic appearances mask authoritarian control. Recognizing these dynamics is key to understanding today's power struggles. Also, former President Barack Obama should face a criminal investigation for his alleged role in efforts to undermine the 2016 election and the Trump presidency, despite claims of immunity based on a Supreme Court decision. While official presidential acts are protected, crimes like attempting a coup are not immune from prosecution after leaving office. Afterward, a look back at March 2017 when Mark Levin broke the Obama spygate scandal wide open. Later, Special Envoy Thomas Barrack told Reuters there is no evidence the Syrian government is involved in the horrendous atrocities committed against the Druze and Christians and other minorities in Syria. This is a disgrace, the evidence is everywhere. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Korach claimed hierarchy's aren't necessary and that Moshe was just advancing his own interests when in reality Korach only started his movement for self-gain and "Nature" itself rejected his policies.
How do we 'cancel' Fascism without censorship? Can we protect free speech as well as fact-checking? This week, something different: we dive deep into social justice theory and question how to actually achieve it. Media Storm brings missing expert voices into the conversation. These are normally people with lived experience, but as politics becomes evermore polarised, we sought out a world-class philosopher to help us rise above partisanship and understand the core questions driving division. AC Grayling is Master of the New College of the Humanities and has written and edited over 30 books. But he does not see philosophy as an ivory tower practice, rather a useful subject for real life implementation. We put that to the test.

Professor Eric Kaufmann discuss the evolution and future of woke, noting its peak and potential resurgence. It was not in fact ended by the reelection of Donald Trump, he argues, and in this interview explains why. Kaufmann argues that woke-ism, characterised by the sacralisation of marginalised groups, has seen a decline in corporate and educational practices but remains strong among younger generations. Will there be new versions of BLM, MeToo, Antifa as a reaction to Trump's second term? Are we already seeing it in response to Elon Musk, with the targeting of Tesla?Eric and Winston explore the concept of national identity in the era of “diversity is our greatest strength”. What is the truth about ethnonationaolsm? Is former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak English? They also explore the impact of immigration on social cohesion, and national identity.He notes that cultural debates, such as those over free speech and diversity, are a secondary response to populism. And that populism is a response to mass migration, Islam, LGBT and feminist issues.Eric Peter Kaufmann is a Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham. He is author of several books including: ‘The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America: The Decline of Dominant Ethnicity in the United States', ‘Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century', ‘Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities' and ‘The Third Awokening'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 The End of Wokeism and Its Implications5:41 The Persistence of Woke Ideas10:39 The Role of Social Media in Shaping Woke Ideas26:17 The Future of Wokeism and The Complexity of National Identity40:14 The Role of Ethnicity and Religion in National Identity59:58 The Impact of Immigration on National Identity1:00:18 The Challenges of Integration and Assimilation1:05:46 The Future of Wokeism and National Identity1:08:01 Populism and Wokeness1:10:33 Cultural Wars and Diversity1:12:08 Closing thoughts Hosted on Acast.

As Keir Starmer signals boots on the ground in Ukraine and Labour slashes public spending to fund the war, we uncover the deeper story—how UK aid is fueling a fire sale of Ukraine's economy. While the IMF and World Bank push mass privatisation, global financiers line up to carve up state assets. Is this really about defending democracy, or just another elite land grab? Then, Nicole Shanahan, once a key Democratic donor, reveals her political awakening. From funding liberal philanthropy to backing RFK Jr., she exposes the dark side of Silicon Valley influence, the manufactured narratives of the left, and the real agenda behind "woke" politics.

Do you feel it in the air? That freedom to speak your mind and tell the truth again? Asking questions isn't conspiracy but a responsibility. Stigall believes we've culturally turned a corner with the woke culture of the last decade or so. With so many leftists making their way to pay respects to Trump in Florida and Elon Musk aggressively using his resources to give voice to left wing opposition, the pendulum seems to be swinging the other direction. Trump's now Special Assistant and Envoy to Ukraine and Russia - Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg has a huge new job. Bring an end to Russia and Ukraine conflict. Today he tells how he plans to do it and what's involved. The confirmation of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense is getting personal. Stigall talks with a guy who went through it until he finally withdrew from consideration during Trump's first term. Our chief economist Steve Moore discusses the ugly side of what happens after the President calls you to serve.
