“The Boomer Effect” takes a look at generations that came before and after us in an effort to understand our differences and establish common ground. All durable and long-lasting civilizations have one thing in common; they respect the wisdom of their elders and do not mock it. Yes Boomers made mistakes- but we got a lot right as well. Part of getting it right is extending what we've learned to Generation Z, and Millennials. The great depression gave us a post World War II generation of adults determined to give their children everything that they didn't have. Maybe that was a mistake...

    Lost in Time: Vanishing Wisdom

    Are we preserving wisdom — or just accumulating fragileinformation? Only 1.6% of human history is recorded — and the rest may be lost forever. In this compelling conversation, author and technologist Jack R. Bialik joins us to explore the astonishing discoveries in his book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge. Drawing from over ten years of meticulous research, Bialik reveals how ancient civilizations mastered technologies and systems we often assume areuniquely modern — from medical procedures and sanitation to electricity and information preservation. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a warning. As digital data becomes more fragile and cultural memoryincreasingly shallow, Bialik argues that knowledge without wisdom is easily lost — and that civilizations don’t always collapse from ignorance, but from forgetting what once made them resilient. This episode challenges listeners to rethink progress,preservation, and whether our modern world is truly advancing — or unknowingly repeating history’s mistakes. https://jrbialik.com    https://www.lostintime.world Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://mypillow.com  PromoCode: ROSE https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

    When Kindness Goes Viral

    It began with a lost wallet and a stranger whochose to do the right thing. On this episode, Kevin Smith shares theextraordinary story of how one small act of kindness on Good Friday sparked a national ripple effect — leading to viral news coverage, an unexpected partnership with the York County SPCA, and the birth of Kindness Week, a community-wide celebration of compassion and human connection. What makes this story so powerful isn’t fame or fortune — it’s the reminder that ordinary people, acting with integrity andgratitude, can inspire something far greater than themselves. This conversation explores the roots of kindness, the role of gratitude, the power of recognition, and why no act of goodness is ever wasted.

    What Zoomer Conservatives Really Think

    Who are Gen Z Republicans — really? That’s what Jerry and Rose asked Jesse Arm, VP External Affairs at ManhattanInstitute. We unpack the results of a Manhattan Institute focus group conducted with 20 Gen Z conservatives inNashville, revealing how America’s youngest Republican voters consume news, think about economics and immigration, wrestle with faith and family formation,and envision the country’s future. From TikTok and podcasts replacing traditional media, to complicated views on foreign policy, nationalism, andcultural decline, these findings challenge conventional wisdom about young conservatives. This conversation offers a rare, nuanced portrait of a generation often talked about — but rarely listened to. For a more detailed breakdown, check out Jesse Arm's X thread and his write-up in City Journal.

    Transition, Order & Justice: Trump’s Doctrine for Venezuela

    Venezuela did not simply fail — it was repurposed. In this episode, political commentator and author Judd Dunning breaks down how Venezuela evolved from authoritarian governance into a fully integrated narco-state,where political power, criminal finance, and coercive force merged to preserve regime survival. We examine the deliberate dismantling of institutions under Hugo Chávez, the criminal consolidation under Nicolás Maduro, and why the United States formally charged Venezuela’s leadership with narco-terrorism — a move rarely taken against a sitting head of state. The conversation also explores Trump’s Venezuela doctrine: sanctions, asset freezes, institutional continuity, and transitional stability — not invasion — and why criminalized states export instability, migration pressure, and drug corridors across the hemisphere. This episode challenges the narratives, clarifies the law, and asks a critical question: What does accountability look like in a world where regimes operate like criminal networks?

    Bridging the Divide:Manchin on Politics, Principles, & People First

    In today’s episode, goes solo with former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for a powerful conversation about his book Dead Center — a book he describes as both a memoir and a manifesto for bringing common sense back to American politics. Manchin shares his concerns about where the Democratic Party is headed. We also talk about why he believes the “center” is where solutions are born, what it means to put people before party, and how respect, responsibility, and compassion can break through the bitterness and tribalism dividing our nation. This episode suggests that there is hope that still exists for a healthier, more unified political future. You may not agree with all of his politics – but there is much to be said about putting aside “sound bites” and having real conversations.

    The DEI Rebrand: What’s Really Happening in Higher Ed

    Free speech on America’s campuses is under its fiercestpressure in decades — and Tim Minella is on the front lines. A Senior Constitutionalism Fellow at the Goldwater Institute and a key voice behind the Goldwater’s Dismantling DEI podcast, Minella joins the show to expose how DEI bureaucracy is mutating, rebranding, and quietly tightening its grip on higher education. We dig into why conservative students still feel unsafespeaking openly, how campus administrators reward ideological conformity, and why many DEI advocates are working overtime to hide the true reach of their programs. Minella also shares how Goldwater is fighting back to restore genuine free expression, intellectual diversity, and equal treatment under the law.If you want an unflinching look at what’s really happening on campus — and what it will take to turn the tide — this conversation is essential.
