Karys Rhea joins Something For Everybody this week. Karys is an American political commentator and former producer at the Epoch Times and Newsmax. A writing fellow with the Middle East Forum, ambassador for Israel365 Action, rising leader at the Global Liberty Institute, and recording artist on Baste Distribution, she is currently writing a book about how right-wing identitarianism is undermining President Trump’s vision, fracturing the MAGA movement, and jeopardizing the soul of America.
In this conversation, Karys and I delve into the complexities of masculinity, political extremism, and the influence of media personalities like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. We discuss the importance of understanding the roots of current political ideologies, the dangers of social media, and the necessity of gatekeeping within conservative movements. The conversation also touches on the rise of antisemitism and conspiracy theories, emphasizing the need for a robust response to these challenges.
