David Gornoski Shows

"If we're going to imitate the Master of history then we're going to have a conversation." Using the Bible as a political prop isn't right, David Gornoski says, but we also shouldn't be bombing innocents abroad and perpetuate starvation by sanctioning. "If we're going to imitate Jesus let us apply the imitation to all aspects." David passionately argues that imitation of Christ means the rejection of team-warfare set up by the status quo. We need to stop telling half-truths and tell the entire truth. Listen to the full episode for David's epic monologue on rejecting government indoctrination and embracing free discourse and Christlike compassion.

Retired NYPD detective John Baeza joins the show to discuss the tragic killing of George Floyd and the riots sparked by that killing. "I think we're going to see repeats of this unrest," says John Baeza who claims that the problem is an increasing militarization of law enforcement. On the riots that have gripped the nation: "It just doesn't make it right to destroy and steal from businesses." The retired detective also grimly predicts that if this coercion-laced discord continues then there might not be any light on the horizon. Are curfews effective in stopping riots? Is there any evidence of 'institutionalized white supremacy' in the police force? Listen to the full episode for Detective Baeza's insights on these questions and more.

It's time to rebuke the satanic system of mirror accusations that is possessing our nation right now. It's time to set the captives free! Host David Gornoski is joined by Rufus Rochell--prisoner for 32 years for a non-violent drug choice--and founder of CAN-DO clemency Amy Povah; together the three take on the human-sacrificing machine that is evident within our justice system. Rufus' case is indicative that our laws need to be centered around Jesus' revelation of mercy. "No victim, no crime," says David Gornoski, and Rufus' imprisonment and George Floyd's murder tell us that is exactly what ought to be. Listen to the full episode for all of this and more.

Bad cops need to be held liable but public unions often stand in the way, claims Tho Bishop as he explains how the tragic George Floyd incident is the consequence of bad bureaucracy, unreformed policing, and the people of Minneapolis voting in all these things that have now come back to haunt them. Public unions protect bad people, Tho argues, and they need to be done away with. Plus, the mises.org editor comments on the smearing of capitalism by leftist establishments, the tearing up of families by the state, and the latest news of President Trump's withdrawal from the WHO.

In light of the recent murder of George Floyd, many are demanding accountability; but it's hard to get accountability when the government holds monopoly power and violent mobs riot on the streets of our nation. "We need to dissolve monopoly power," says host David Gornoski. "We need to look at ourselves and ask: 'Why am I allowing victimless crime laws to exist?'" We need to live up to our Christian heritage and the belief that the victim has rights, David urges. The answer lies not in voting for your favorite candidate but in the ability to love your neighbor as yourself.

"The best education that you can get is through travel," Jim Rogers says, "You can read about country X or you can go there and see the truth. You'll find out that, normally, the truth is different from what the TV or propaganda tells you." Is the 21st century heading towards Asian dominance? Are tariffs necessary for protecting domestic markets? Listen to the full podcast for the answers and more. Buy Jim Rogers' book Street Smarts on Amazon.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Host David Gornoski recalls his visit to the zoo and likens the statist media establishment to a caged llama walking in a fixed daily pattern. David urges us to break out of the feedback loop of circular violence and imitate the good Samaritan from Jesus' parable. Who is our neighbor today? Should we care for what's trending or for what's right? It's time to break out of the political faction-warfare and imitate the One who transcends all political ideologies.

What is revolution? "When you make revolution-based laws you'll only get chaos," says host David Gornoski as he expounds on the circular violent nature of revolutions.

On the news surrounding the death of George Floyd: "We don't need dehumanizing laws, we need repentance." Also, technologist Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov and physicist Dr. Weiping Yu join the show to reflect on the recently postponed SpaceX crewed launch, the mission to go to Mars, and the surprisingly little innovation in the sphere of rocket propulsion.

Dr. Ken Berry returns to the show to comment on a New York Times' opinion piece that propagates the 'End of Meat.' Dr. Berry debunks bad advises given out by so-called experts and argues that consumption of meat has frequently proven to be effective in building strong immunity and fighting disease.

Host David Gornoski brings to light how our arbitrary usage of coercive state power and the 'quarantining' of projected guilt fails in binding our society together.

In this episode, David Gornoski rips into the pseudo-scientific food pyramid promoted by the state. David vigorously argues that due to the government's quackery we've been suffering from a plethora of diseases including this current virus. "Separate state from cure!" Also, conservative commentator Anthony Brian Logan calls in to discuss Joe Biden's 'You Ain't Black' comment. "This is something you'd expect from Biden," says Logan as he reflects on the lack of diversity of opinion on the left. The left, Logan argues, is insistent on radically redefining words such as 'racism' and 'gender' so that their own discrimination remains hidden. Listen to the full episode for all this and more!

"One of the ways we get rid of the malaise in our society and culture is by ending forever wars." Danny Sjursen, writer and war veteran, joins us to explain why war has become largely invisible to the people of our nation. "Memorial day to me feels like a wretched day in a lot of sense," says Sjursen who also feels that the holiday has been mythologized to cover up for mass sacrifice perpetuated by the war machine. Sjursen also brings to attention the ongoing escalations with Iran, Venezuela, and elsewhere which he calls 'pandemic opportunism.'

In these times of social unrest we need to understand what drives humanity towards conflict. David Cayley, longtime CBC Ideas broadcaster, joins David Gornoski to discuss the breakdown of social unity through a distinctly Christian lens shaped by experiences with Rene Girard and Ivan Illich. On the pandemic, Cayley says that "the virus is the perfect enemy" but expresses concern over those who are suffering due to the measures imposed. "There's this perfectionist notion that this virus can be wrestled to the ground and that we can be safe," Cayley remarks, "but we can never be safe."
