The End Of America.
Nick Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Elon Musk. What do all of those names have in common? An utter lack of virtue and theological direction. Why? Because they play Marxist power games and refuse to deal with the core, fundamental problems our society faces — instead, they spend their time fighting to control the narrative and build artificial gods and platforms. And what happens when a society is filled with wickedness and immorality? Chaos.

SPOTIFY EDITION | Dr. Mary Talley Bowden | Is The Medical Industry Beyond Saving?'
Since Spotify deleted my last episode with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and never responded to my appeal, this is a re-upload of that episode. The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic started almost five years ago. You would think that in five years we would know more about what actually happened leading up to the pandemic and why, during the pandemic so many of our medical “experts” were so wrong about so many different things. If you remember, the legacy media publicly humiliated people who were using ivermectin and doctors who were giving it to their sick and almost dying patients. Mary Talley Bowden was one of those doctors. She was publicly shamed by some of the largest media outlets in the world for trying to give ivermectin to a patient who was dying during the pandemic. For doing so, she lost certain medical privileges and has been continuously investigated by the Texas Medical Board. This saga has culminated, in the past week, in a public reprimand (and who know what that even means) of Mary. You might be wondering what the goal of this reprimand is? Well, to put it simply, it’s to destroy her career and reputation for speaking truth against the medical regime during the COVID pandemic. They want her silenced. Who is they? You’ll be surprised to learn that the man leading the Texas Medical Board is none other than Republican Governor of Texas, Gregg Abbott. I thought the Republicans were the ones fighting against the authoritarians and oligarchs who tried to kill millions of people and control our lives during COVID – I guess I was wrong. Mary has spent years of her life fighting for her and your medical freedom. She’s spent $250,000 on legal fees and has persevered through public humiliation because she believes what was done during COVID was immoral and evil. This is my interview with Mary Talley Bowden. I hope you enjoy!

#155 // Dr. Peter McCullough | Does Tylenol Cause Autism?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump Administration have talked quite a bit about the fact that there is a 400% increase in autism rates in children up to 8 years old between 2000 and 2022. They claim that in America we’ve gone from 1 in 150 children having autism to 1 in 31 children having autism. This spike in autism rates has had its effect on millions of families across the country and has raised serious questions related to the food we eat, the vaccines we take, and the medicine we consume on a regular basis. And now RFK Jr. announced that Tylenol, when taken late in pregnancy, is connected to the rise in autism rates. This announcement brought about a frenzy of reaction from left wing and right wing media outlets and liberal lunatics on TikTok. Much of the liberal mainstream media claimed that RFK Jr. was a quack conspiracy theorist who has no business lecturing the American people on health and medicine. And the liberals on TikTok thought it best to stick it to the Trump administration by downing as much Tylenol as humanly possible while pregnant. But aside from what the liberal regime is saying, I wanted to know more about this new study that the White House released and its legitimacy. I want to know if Tylenol causes autism or is only associated with autism. So, I reached out to Dr. Peter McCullough. You may know him from the days of COVID in 2020. Dr. McCullough was one of a few doctors across America who challenged the mainstream narrative related to the COVID Vaccine’s and treatments. His career and his reputation were publicly condemned and ridiculed for this. To this day Wikipedia says that “McCullough has promoted misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID-19, its treatments, and mRNA vaccines.” Now THAT statement is an objective lie. Dr. McCullough was willing to put his life’s work on the line during COVID and challenge the mainstream narrative, and he was right about everything he said. I thought it would be interesting to hear from Dr. McCullough about the new White House initiatives related to autism and their approach to learning about the autism epidemic. Are RFK Jr and his team actually just liars and conspiracy theorists? Or is the America Medical Industry stuck in a downward spiral of political ideological capture and a denial of facts and truth? Here’s my interview with Dr. Peter McCullough. I hope you enjoy.

#154 // Josh Code | Why 50,000 Christians In Nigeria Have Been Murdered
In this episode I talked with a Free Press reporter, Josh Code. He recently wrote an article on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. In this article he interviewed a Christian man in Nigeria who was taken captive by Muslims and beaten for his participation in helping two women escape from their hometown after converting from Islam to Christianity. We talked about the American Government’s response to the Christian persecution in Nigeria and why this persecution is even happening in the first place. We finally discussed the problems with liberal Christianity and what the story of persecution in Nigeria can teach Christians in the West. I hope you enjoy!

#153 // Tanya Lukyanova | Is Israel Murdering Children?
In this episode, I talked with Tanya Lukyanova from The Free Press. Tanya is a video journalist who grew up in Russia and is now living in the United States. She has reported on Russia’s authoritarian decline from her home country and has reported on the war in Israel. Two weeks ago she released a video about a viral story that was dominating headlines related to the war in Israel — the story was about a young Gazan boy who was supposedly murdered in cold blood by the Israeli Defense Forces. This story, created by Anthony “Tony” Aguilar was given legitimacy by mainstream media like MSNBC, CNN, and even Tucker Carlson. The only problem was that Anthony Aguilar made the story up out of thin air. The supposed murdered child was found weeks later and confirmed alive. Tanya reported on this for The Free Press and revealed that the entire story was blown up out of proportion for propagandistic purposes. This conversation begins with Tanya discussing her reporting on Russia and her upbringing in Russia. She explains how the country has changed in her lifetime and how Putin is thinking through the war in Ukraine. We also talked about what the government needs to do, if anything, when media outlets are lying on purpose to conjure up paranoia and support for anti-American ideology and enemies. I hope you enjoy!

What To Do If Your Pastor Doesn’t Talk About Charlie Kirk
In this episode I talk about what you should do if your pastors fails to talk about Charlie Kirk. I discuss what is happening in the political realm and why the extremists on the political Right and Left are both pushing narratives about the assassination of Charlie Kirk that are beneficial to their liberal ideology. I also discuss what you should do if your pastor lectured you in 2020 about your inherent racism in light of the death of a fentanyl addict, George Floyd, but refuses to talk about the Evangelist, Charlie Kirk. I hope you enjoy!

#151 // Larry Sanger | How The Co-Founder Of Wikipedia Became Anglican
In this episode I talked with Larry Sanger. As you may know, Larry is the Co-Founder of Wikipedia and a recent convert to Christianity. Sanger has his PhD in Philosophy from Ohio State University and created Wikipedia’s first introduction pages and home page when the company started in the early 2000s. In recent years, Sanger has been outspoken against Wikipedia and its politically liberal bias. In his announcement of his conversion, he made it clear that he had not chosen a denomination and was not actively a member of any particular church or denomination. In our conversation, Larry and I talked about his most recent announcement that he is joining the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA). We discussed how he came to the conclusion that the ACNA was the best Church for him to join, how he studied many different denominations on his journey to Anglicanism, and what criteria he used to guide his search for a church. This is an important conversation as Sanger gives a thorough breakdown of his logical and philosophical method of studying both the Bible and church history on his way to the Anglican Church. I hope you enjoy!

In The Midst of the Years (Pt. I) | What Did Jonathan Edwards Think A Revival Was?
In this episode, I begin a short series based on the book by Thomas Nettles, In the Midst of the Years: A History of Reformation and Revival in America. There is much confusion in the modern age related to what revival is and how we can discern when a movement is of God is truly of God. In this book, Nettles travels through the history of reformation and revival in America — he covers people like Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, Dwight Moody, and Billy Sunday. He also analyzes events like the First and Second Great Awakening, the Civil War Revivials, and the 1858 Prayer revival. In this short series, I will be discussing four of these people/events in American church history. Today, I will start in the 1700s with Jonathan Edwards. Edwards gives five criteria for analyzing and judging a revival. These criteria are still valid and extremely helpful for today. My hope is that through this series, you can more truthfully judge whether or not something is a movement of the Spirit of God or a movement of the whims of men. I hope you enjoy!

#149 // Iain Duguid | How Did Christ Build The Church?
In this episode I talked with Dr. Ian Duguid. Dr. Duguid is the Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has planted churches in California, England, and Pennsylvania and received his PhD from the University of Cambridge. In our conversation we discussed his new book, Turning the World Upside Down: Lessons for the Church from Acts 1-8. We talked about how Christ built His church in the book of Acts and what we, in the modern world, should learn from Jesus’ disciples in the Apostolic Age. We also discussed the role the ethnic Jews play in the church and what our relationship to the Jews should be as Christians. Finally, we talked about the similarities between Judas, who sold Christ out for 30 pieces of silver, and you and I who often sell Him out for much less. I hope you enjoy!

In this book Ben exposes the actual agenda of those in political power who claim to be “Pro-Life”. In our discussion we talked about the abortion abolitionist movement and what it stands for, why the Republicans in office across the country are consistently killing abolitionist proposals, and why the younger generations are ripe and ready to hear a clear proclamation of the Gospel.

#147 // Lucy Biggers | From Helping Elect AOC To Fighting The Progressive Narrative
In this episode, I talked with Lucy Biggers. Lucy is a Social Media Editor at The Free Press and has written several articles for The Free Press. She was formerly a “climate change” activist and avid supporter of progressive politicians and ideology. In our conversation we discussed her upbringing, how she came to be a progressive, and her conversion to a more Conservative worldview. We talked about how she helped get Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez get elected and how she pushed the “climate change” narrative in The United States and abroad — even going as far as to interview Greta Thunberg. We discussed how she began to notice the logical cracks in her Marxist worldview and why she has just now started speaking up against liberal policy and ideology. In June she wrote an article for The Free Press called ‘I Helped AOC Win. I Understand the Fantasy Zohran Is Selling.’ We talked about this article and how to change the minds of the upcoming generations who seem to be stuck in a progressive black hole. I hope you enjoy!

#146 // Lauren Canterberry | How The Abortion Industry Is Killing Women
In this episode I talked with WORLD News Reporter, Lauren Canterberry. We discussed her reporting related to the Mifepristone abortion tablets and her reporting on the SCOTUS ruling that Planned Parenthood cannot receive Medicaid funding in states like South Carolina that have outlawed federal money to be given to abortion clinics. This was a wide-ranging conversation and one that Christians should listen to. The abortion industry, as bad as it already is, is now targeting underage girls and mailing abortion pill across the country — even to people in states that have outlawed certain abortion pills and even the mailing of abortion pills. The issue of murdering babies is not a debatable issue or a grey issue for Christians, we must defend both the lives of unborn babies and the lives of mothers. This is a conversation you do not want to miss. I hope you enjoy!

In our conversation we talked about how The Everlasting Man was the book that converted C.S. Lewis to Christianity, and why Lewis said that this book put forth the best explanation of Christianity that he had ever read. We discussed Chesterton’s intellectual ability despite his dropping out of college and never pursuing a higher education. And finally, we discussed what Chesterton would have thought about the modern world we live in today. I hope you enjoy!

He is also the author of a book called, The Ecology of Nations, and he is the recent recipient of the 2025 Grawemeyer Award for World Order. Back in August of 2024, I interviewed Dr. Owen to discuss his book, The Ecology of Nations, and his political philosophy on foreign affairs. In this discussion we talk about the complex relationship between domestic politics and geopolitics, the tendencies of authoritarian governments, the flirtatious relationship between some right wing Republicans and authoritarian regimes, and the Iran/Israel 12 day war. This was a wide ranging conversation but it’s one that you don’t want to miss. I hope you enjoy!

Back in September of last year Tammy and I did a podcast in which we discussed the carnivore diet, Capitalism, and the differences between Protestantism and Catholicism.
