What is the Real ID Act? Journalist and author James Bovard calls in to explain how the REAL ID Act, like the Patriot Act, is government overreach under the pretext of protection.

Plus, David Gornoski comments on the bizarre news of the shooting of a federal judge's son and husband.

How do we understand the growing undifferentiation--the breaking apart of traditional hierarchies--in western society? How can the church regain the gospel aesthetic of standing for the hidden victims of our society? The church must tell the stories of victims, David says, and in doing so, woke culture would evaporate in an instant. But then how would Jesus' salvation of the world look like when we consider the insurmountable cultural and statist resistance to the gospel technology? Join David Gornoski and James Kourtides as they tackle these questions while figuring out how humanity can move past stagnation in innovation, polarization in society, and academic indoctrination.

Historian Chris Calton calls in to talk about the history of policing in America. The primary contributor to issues like rioting and police brutality, Calton says, is urban policing. Crime is not the primary determiner in arrest and incarceration statistics, Calton shockingly states. If crimes haven't increased then why are arrests increasing? The reason, according to Calton, is top-down pressure from politicians and bureaucrats to increase arrests. How did qualified immunity come into existence and how instrumental has it been in the rise of police brutality? How did criminal law originate? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

In this episode, FEE.org's Sean Malone joins David Gornoski to look at 'Mr. Jones,' a movie based on the Holodomor tragedy and the media cover-up that followed. Why isn't the Holodomor as widely known as the Holocaust is in America? Totalitarian regimes were expected to hide the truth, Malone says, but what was really astonishing is the complacency of the New York Times and much of Western media who were in the Soviet Union at that time. The conversation later moves to big tech's calls for more socialism and the media's pro-war and pro-establishment stances. Listen to the full episode for all this and more.

Should we be optimistic about our long-term future? Join David Gornoski for another exciting episode as he presents the case of why should be optimistic despite the bombardment of bad news around us. Jesus said the nations will be judged by their treatment of the hungry, the sick, the prisoner, and the stranger. How do we care for those whom Jesus referred to as 'the least of these?' Should we take the Karl Marx approach of redistribution through state coercion or should we voluntarily imitate Jesus? Listen to the full episode as David Gornoski explains how our future is intrinsically tied to how we treat our neighbors.

Professor Wilfred Reilly, author and political scientist at Kentucky State University, returns to the show to talk about political radicalism in America. Professor Reilly explains why he speaks out against radical movements and how the real struggle in America is between moderates and extremists. Is the far-right as powerful as the extreme-left? Are there double standards at play in the media's narrative on race relations? If racism is real then how can we deal with it? Has the pandemic affected the left's hold on cultural institutions?

Kerry Baldwin, writer and founder of MereLiberty.com, joins David Gornoski to discuss the medical tyranny of using coercion during this pandemic. Are we handing over far too much to the government? Kerry points out how governments have always used crises to gain control over their people. Is it ethical to mandate wearing masks in high-density population areas such as New York? Kerry argues that the use of coercion actually deters people from taking voluntary action in caring for their neighbors. Is homeschooling a valid alternative for those under lockdowns? Can we understand the left's symbolic obsession with Donald Trump? How do we break free from the politicization and polarization in our society? Listen to the full podcast to find out and more.

Human beings are primarily storytelling creatures; and storytelling is crucial for us. Which story should our society bind itself around? Many, including Karl Marx, have tried to distort Jesus' concern for victims, and each has failed to tell the non-violent, redemptive story of Christ. "The McWoke crowd intends to justify themselves by donning the god-mask of victims to sacrifice their neighbors," David says while reflecting on today's social justice movements. Why has the word 'Neanderthal' become synonymous with 'not smart?' What does it mean for us when we see the evidence of humanity's violent earliest stages? Listen to the full episode for a fascinating exploration of history, evolution, and how Jesus unshackles us from violence.

David Gornoski examines the latest news of Bari Weiss resigning from the New York Times. How much credibility does the media have as it continues to misdirect people on behalf of the political establishment? "These are not media outlets but stinky, crusty PR firms," David remarks as he observes the anti-science stance that mainstream media outlets have taken during this pandemic. "These corporate communists are not for justice," David says, "they're the jailers to real justice."
