Doing Medical Science Like Jesus - A Neighbor's Choice
David Gornoski starts the episode with a clarion call for preserving the sacredness of the individual from the collective. "Move beyond the zero-sum nightmarish vision of politics," David says as he comments on the pandemic measures that have turned cities like New York into ghost towns. What would a Christian approach to the pandemic look like? David argues that a Christian response would lack blame-games and completely focus on courage and innovation, unhindered from coercive, regulatory power, in caring for the health of our neighbors. We're in the middle of a paradigm shift and it's time to reject the false presupposition that science has to be patented to become effective. Listen to the entire episode for all of this and more.

What Does America's Foreign Policy Stand For? - A Neighbor's Choice
What does America's foreign policy stand for? David Gornoski asks. Should America have anything to do with people like Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Susan Rice--people who feign to be allies for social justice but, in reality, carry an impeccable track record of separating families, jailing fathers and mothers at home, and bombing and terrorizing people of color overseas? Join David Gornoski and Sgt. Dan McKnight of Bring Our Troops Home as they dismantle the hypocrisy and victim-garbed powerplay of the DC elites and their media and corporatist allies.

Thou Shalt Not Kill - A Neighbor's Choice
David Gornoski resumes his commentary on current affairs such as the veiled threat by a former DOD official against Alex Jones, the shooting of Ryan Whitaker, and the continuing divisive narrative pushed by the media. "Instead of being fixated on political creeds or the color of one's skin, one should recognize that the human heart is what's at trial here." How much money does it take to get rid of laws that cause no-knock raids? David asks. Is Donald Trump right to suspend the payroll tax? How do we get out of the continuous tug of war between Democrats and Republicans and get down to solving real problems without the use of violence? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

The Last Enemy, Death - A Neighbor's Choice
In this episode, David Gornoski goes through some of the latest news reports from around the country such as the cancellation of NCAA football season, the collapse of the GDP, the housing crisis, and the religious devotion to designated 'health experts.' Is the decline of sports tournaments hastened by the everpresent political posturing? How can sports continue to draw people in with its stimulated warfare when it continues to remind us about the trauma of real warfare? How much do we have to sacrifice to the state to get our cathartic sacred games? Listen to the full episode as David critiques the blind submission to the state cult while encouraging us to take on the fear of death through voluntary interaction and innovation.

THINGS HIDDEN 16: Giants of the Law
Shannon Braswell and David Gornoski are back with another exciting conversation on envy, greek philosophy, the Old Testament narratives, and the West's cross-haunted culture. Why are successful, creative people derided in society? Shannon and David explore this question by looking at the trajectory of the Old Testament stories from scapegoating to self-reflection; they are then led to the ancient Greek philosophers, the Jewish interaction with ancient pagans, and whether we can look to the Old Testament the same way as we look at the New Testament. How important are the Mosaic laws when it comes to the development of western civilization? How has our cross-haunted thinking affected our foreign policy and our justice system? Listen to the full podcast for a bold discussion on how to reject the timidness of coercive institutions and get our courage and creativity back as a culture.

Back to School, Beating Corporate Communism - A Neighbor's Choice
David Gornoski starts the episode by commenting on Chuck Schumer's demand to open up schools. "Decadent banquets for a few government-linked corporatists, Communist scraps for the rest of us," says David Gornoski as he describes the problem that our nation is facing right now with the superficiality of the media and the victim-garbed coercive policies of the Democrats. David also comments on Teen Vogue's Marxist article for evicting landlords to fight against eviction. "Is the housing market rigged? Yes, but it is, precisely, because of government intervention." Plus, the satanic temple claims that abortion is a protected religious ceremony, but David explains how that claim is a perversion of the sacredness of the human person. "Every life, born or unborn, is sacred and we should cherish that."
