The debate is over and Joe Biden lost. Although really it seems more accurate to say the American people are the real losers here. I break it down on this weeks episode of The Chrestman Conversation.
President Biden Hits the Pause Button | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #115
President Biden seems to completely space out multiple times this week. 8 men on the terrorist watch list were caught in multiple states after coming through the southern border, and Cori Bush claims she can heal tumors with her touch. So much nonsense to talk about this week on The Chrestman Conversation.
Hunter Biden is Found Guilty | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #114
Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony charges this week, in what can only be described as the least shocking verdict of all time. No one has been more obviously guilty of a crime since O.J. Simpson. Come check it out on The Chrestman Conversation.
The Last Bit of Vacation & the Gregorian Calendar | PHILOSOPHY | The Chrestman Conversation #113
Spent the last week enjoying some sunshine and a little bit of the beach. Managed to avoid social media and the news almost entirely, which I now wish happened more often. Today on the podcast, we talk a little bit about tradition and I give the people some homework. Come check it out.
The Importance of Art | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #112
Today on the podcast I read a little journal entry I made yesterday on the train. Just some thoughts on the importance of art for the human spirit. It's nice to take a step away from the issues that divide and look at issues that instead unite. Enjoy.
Let's Touch Grass | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #111
A little bit of a different podcast today. Hopefully everyone enjoys. If you do not feel like watching I can summarize it very quickly. Go outside. Touch grass. Live your life and remember that people in real life are much better than people on the internet.
Biden Agrees to Debate Trump, But Only On His Terms | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #110
Biden says he will debate Trump, but only with plenty of guardrails in place. Then we dive into two great speeches from this week. Winston Marshall threw down over whether populism is a problem. Then Harrison Butker gave an all time great graduation speech at Benedictine College. Come check it out on The Chrestman Conversation.
MGT Fails to Oust Mike Johnson & Macklemore's Anthem | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #109
Dealing with two topics on today's show. First I dive into Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to vote out Mike Johnson as Speaker, and then I talk briefly about Macklemore making a pro-terrorist anthem for the ages. It is unfortunate that our news cycle is constant dominated by people with nothing valuable to say, but that is just where we are as a country.
These College Kids Know Nothing | The Chrestman Conversation #108
Protests erupt around the country in support of Hamas. It is an unfortunate occurrence when the children of the future are so ill-equipped to learn. What has happened to our wayward and coddled youth? Why is it that being pro-terrorism wins you points with the modern Left? Come discuss it on The Chrestman Conversation.
Trump's First Criminal Trial Is Underway | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #107
Donald Trump's first criminal trial began this week in New York. Did anyone else feel the foundations of the republic shaking? Was it just me? Does anyone believe that threatening to put a former president in jail for nonsense crimes is good for our democracy? Come find out on The Chrestman Conversation
Google Lays Down the Hammer on Protesters | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #106
A bunch of entitled Google employees are crying about being fired following a sit-in protest at their place of work. I am not sure what they thought would happen, but hammer meet nail. Do the pro Hamas protests have a point? Does the first amendment really protect speech in favor of terrorism? Come find out on The Chrestman Conversation.
We Shouldn't Euthanize The Mentally Ill | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #105
A healthy 28 year old woman has elected to be euthanized next month due to her crippling depression. What happened to a world that will stand idly by and allow such a thing to occur? The West has slowly been killing itself for decades, maybe this is just the next step. Come check it out on The Chrestman Conversation.
Richard Dawkins, Atheist & Cultural Christian | PHILOSOPHY | The Chrestman Conversation #104
Twenty years after publishing The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins refers to himself as a cultural Christian. Did the New Atheist movement get anything right? Can a moral society exist without widespread belief in God? Come check it out on The Chrestman Conversation.
Where Have All The Men Gone? | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #103
A spree of random violent encounters in NYC had a local councilwoman asking where are the men condemning such acts. After the constant vilification of masculinity and feminization of an entire generation, it's safe to say that those men are currently at home baking sourdough and posting about it on Instagram. When did men stop being men? Come find out on The Chrestman Conversation.
Don Lemon VS. Elon Musk. The Interview No One Wanted | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #102
I did the hard thing so you don't have to and watched the full hour of Don Lemon and Elon Musk talking. After watching, it's no wonder that Don Lemon managed to get himself fired before his new show even aired. Was it the right call by Musk? Come check it our on The Chrestman Conversation.
The TikTok Ban Moves Forward | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #101
The House of Representatives just sent a bill to the Senate to ban TikTok. Is this a violation of the first amendment? Do corporations owned by foreign governments deserve the same protections? Come check it out on The Chrestman Conversation.
The Moral Case of IVF | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #100
The Alabama Supreme Court issued a controversial ruling this week. Today, I am discussing the IVF and the future of the law. How should the law reflect the changing morality of this relatively new technology?
Tennessee Bans The Pride Flag | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #99
The Tennessee legislature votes through a bill that would bar public school classrooms from displaying a flag other than the American flag. Is this a constitutional law? What about the first amendment and freedom of speech? Check it on on The Chrestman Conversation.
No Reparations For Joy Reid | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #98
Joy Reid thinks race relations in the United States have not improved since the 1960s. These claims are not only objectively laughable, but also incredibly divisive. Why do people who describe themselves as "progressives" find it so satisfying to deny progress has occurred?
Is Fani Willis the Best They Can Do? | POLITICS | The Chrestman Conversation #97
Fani Willis gives an embarrassingly bad testimony. How this person ever got elected to such an important role is mind boggling. Is she really the best the Democrats have to offer?
