2023/06/27

My guest this week writes for several publications, runs the Singularity Weekly substack, and is the tech editor on War Room with Steve Bannon. Joe Allen is here to discuss all things transhumanism, the singularity, technology, and AI. What makes AI evil, if it even is? What is the idea of transhumanism based on? Is there a spiritual nature to all of this, or is it just ones and zeroes the way the pro-abortion crowd believes we are just clumps of cells? We take a deep dive into all of this and more

Dr. Clark Carlton is the author of many books, including one of my favorites, "The Life: The Orthodox Doctrine of Salvation". We discuss many of the themes in this book, including theosis, faith vs. works, once saved - always saved, heaven, hell, sin, differences in the Church and the various denominations, and more. Clark Carlton was reared as a Southern Baptist in middle Tennessee. He was enrolled as a Raymond Brian Brown Memorial Scholar at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake

My guest today is the host of the Part of the Problem podcast and also a well-known standup comedian. He has the largest audience of any podcaster in the libertarian world and has been on the Joe Rogan Experience many times. Today we discuss his ability to see the Trump phenomenon for what it was when many in the libertarian world couldn't. We also discuss the Covid years and how he was able to see through the massive amounts of propaganda being shoved down our throats. We also get into Dave now

2023/06/06

First of all, Julie Mastrine is back with us as my co-host, and we are interviewing Father Vincent Lampert. Vincent Lampert is an American Catholic priest and the designated exorcist of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis. As you may imagine, he's seen a lot of things that most of us haven't. We dive into his experiences as an exorcist and what that looks like, what it means, what it doesn't mean, and so on. Are demons real? Is possession real? Does it look like it does in the movies? Why

He is also part of the lawsuit against Harvard on behalf of Asian students that calls out their racist admissions program.

This week, we bring you Part 2 of a two-part series on the issues surrounding discussions of Orthodox Christianity on various internet platforms. This format is slightly different for a few reasons. First off, it's moderated by Alex Braszko rather than myself, and I'm more of a panel "guest". And then, as you've likely noticed in the title, it's broken into two episodes. Fr. Turbo guides us through explanations of the hierarchy of the Church, what is appropriate for certain people to speak on

Dr. Naomi Wolf joins me this week to go over the serious information that her team has uncovered in the Pfizer documents. At , she has assembled a team of over 3500 medical experts to comb over the thousands and thousands of pages of Pfizer documents that the FDA tried to have sealed for 75 years. Luckily, a judge did not allow that. Also, Naomi and her team have discovered many of the reasons that Pfizer didn't want that information to be public. There was not incompetence on their part, but rather

My guest this week has more credentials than I can list here, so I will simply call her author of great books and Presbytera, Dr. Eugenia Constantinou. We discuss many of the themes in her latest book, "The Crucifixion of the King of Glory". Growing up in the West, many of us fail to understand the full meaning of Christ's death on the Cross, what he did between his death and resurrection, how we obtain salvation, what sin is, what hades and hell are, and so on.

Monica and I had such a great discussion that I didn't even get to one of my questions that I had written for this interview! We get into a chat about questioning forms of governance, church and state, and questioning other "taboos" that we take for granted. This is a very free-flowing and fun talk!

My guests this week, like myself, both considered themselves libertarians at one point. They now, like myself, are Orthodox Christians. They are Matt Erickson, of the Kingpilled podcast, and Julie Mastrine. My guests and myself are not the only ones to journey on this path. Why is this a thing? What is it about Orthodoxy that attracts some libertarians. Is libertarianism compatible with Orthodox Christianity? Are we still using political labels at this point? Is libertarian thought rooted in a

This week, I have a Lieutenant Col. in the Army as well as an Army Chaplain AND an Orthodox Priest, and they are all the same person! That would be Father George Hill. He and I speak on the fact that masculinity has, for the most part, disappeared from most areas of Western Culture. Why is this? What are the ramifications? How can it be fixed? I also ask him if it's appropriate for an Orthodox Christian to join the military these days. We touch on many great topics, and I think you'll enjoy Father

This week, Julie Mastrine is back on the show, and she has her twin sister, Amy, with her. They are here to discuss the toxic pendulum swing that some men have taken away from the evils of the progressive feminist left and right into the evils of toxic fake masculinity. In Orthodoxy, we are taught to not fall into the trap of the Devil's Dialectic where we have to choose one evil or the other. They're both demonic, and that's exactly how it's planned. We are to follow the Royal Path rather than

My guest this week brings a frightening yet important topic to the table. Aman Jabbi is the foremost expert when it comes to explaining the digital existence that we will likely experience very soon. Facial recognition, smart cities, artificial intelligence, geo-fencing, central bank digital currency, and total control over our existence. While this all sounds fairly ominous, we also get into a discussion about how it can be avoided and what that even looks like. Follow Aman here: Visit my
