Who is organizing all of these walkouts? No, it's not organic. Should we allow our public schools to be political grooming grounds? We already have. Five years ago, I covered the pernicious California State curriculum that included turning kids into political activists off-campus. It's slowly gotten worse.

Jonathan Neville has been talking about two sets of plates being delivered to Joseph Smith for several years. Now, Don Bradley, a revered historian, published a paper on two sets of plates with BYU Studies. This is a "bombshell" theory having reached this level.

This has gotten some traction and deserves a look. Context is required. The Middle East Forum wrote an investigative article claiming that the church was one of the major US donors to charities associated with Hamas and The Muslim Brotherhood. There are certainly some red flags, but we need to understand how the Middle East works. And this is not the first time these allegations have been made. Website: cwicmedia.com

Maybe the best one you've ever done ... very informative because of his lived experience. I was in Arlington, VA '88-'91, homeschooling legally, so maybe I have him to thank. I was involved in the same culture/political/moral battles and have had to fight cynicism as we've won battles but lost wars.
Not going to listen to your podcast with the background noise of you crunching gravel and rocks and huffing and puffing, in case it matters to you.
Greg, What's the name of the ranch??
podcast cutout halfway through oh man now I don't know what happened 😭
Are you kidding me? Right wingers are the dangerous ones? Huh. Leftists were rioting, looting, assaulting police, calling for their murder, burning cities, treating down statues, murdering innocents for months in 2020, described as "mostly peaceful protests". Get real.
why are there two people talking, at once? ugh
Very inciteful, it’s fun to listen to and get another perspective of something that I’ve studied for years! I highly recommend listening to this.
