Wilfred Reilly on Social Unrest - A Neighbor's Choice Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Kentucky State University's Wilfred Reilly calls in to discuss the ongoing riots, institutionalized racism, and Christ's anthropological impact on human history. "There's nothing noble about a mob. Crowds are not logical," says Dr. Reilly as he points to how the rioters have destroyed mostly minority businesses. The conversation moves to the question of what motivates rioters psychologically. Here, David explains how Jesus dispersed the crowd using what he calls 'social aikido.' How can we use the Gospel technology to disperse angry mobs today? Listen to the full episode for a fascinating conversation on bringing Jesus' personhood revolution to our nation and more.

A Closer Look at our Civil Unrest with Willie Fort - A Neighbor's Choice Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, David Gornoski is joined by Hollywood talent agent Willie Fort and the two discuss the mob fury that has been going on for the past few days. To the people trying to justify the riots, Willie asks, "If black lives matter why are you looting and destroying black businesses?" Willie also highlights how the focus on the George Floyd murder has taken a backseat to collectivism and identity politics.

President Trump Holds a Bible at St. John's Church - A Neighbor's Choice Jun 02, 2020

Show notes

"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.

Tho Bishop on Public Unions' Perpetuation of Bad Policing - A Neighbor's Choice May 29, 2020

Show notes

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.

George Floyd and the Futility of Victimless Crime Laws - A Neighbor's Choice May 29, 2020

Show notes

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. Listen to the full episode for an unpacking of the religiosity of politics, the non-violent gospel solutions to our problems, and more.
