The Marianne Williamson Podcast

When hate is loud, love cannot afford to whisper. When forces of oppression are on the move, lovers of freedom must respond. When those who seek to replace democracy with theocracy are gaining ground, those who are sworn to preserve and protect democracy must stand our ground. Jesus, of course, was neither oppressor nor hater nor promoter of theocracy. There are those who claim to speak for him at times, however, who are all of those things. One of the primary forces behind Project 2025 is a political movement called . Christian Nationalism speaks not of the teachings of Jesus - feeding...

WHAT IS FASCISM? My interview with historian John Lestrange show art WHAT IS FASCISM? My interview with historian John Lestrange

The Marianne Williamson Podcast

When I read Madeleine Albright’s book FASCISM: A Warning, I became deeply aware that what happened before could happen again. And it could happen here. But what is fascism, really? Is it hyperbole to make any mention of Hitler, to draw a comparison between today’s politics and the Third Reich? The issue is critical. Nuance is important, but history’s lessons are important too. History is a great illuminator.  is called The History Wizard, and I’ve enjoyed his everyman’s approach to teaching it. A scholar on Genocide Studies, he answered questions in our...

Is Christian Nationalism Actually Christian? show art Is Christian Nationalism Actually Christian?

The Marianne Williamson Podcast

Christian Nationalism is now a hot topic in the United States. It is not a religious movement articulating the love and teachings of Jesus as they relate to public policy. Rather, it is a political movement that bears little resemblance the teachings of the gospels - healing the sick, feeding the hungry, helping the poor, and being good to the stranger seem to have fallen by the wayside - and promotes the message that Christianity should take precedence over all other religions in this country. Its Seven Mountains Mandate is a rather chilling repudiation of religious freedom. My video today is...

THE CORPORATE ATTACK ON OUR FOOD SUPPLY, OUR BODIES, AND OUR PLANET show art THE CORPORATE ATTACK ON OUR FOOD SUPPLY, OUR BODIES, AND OUR PLANET

The Marianne Williamson Podcast

When I was growing up, my mother believed the food she fed her family was safe for us to consume. In fact, the 1950’s was just the beginning of the corporate takeover of agriculture and food production in the United States. Over the next thirty years it would culminate in Big Ag, Big Chem, and Big Food all having their hey dey producing corporate profits at the expense of American’s health. In a properly functioning democracy, the U.S. government - as part of its mandate to protect the common good - would regulate corporate behavior to insure profits were never placed before the safety,...

"Trump Can Stop This" - Ground Offensive On Gaza

The Marianne Williamson Podcast

Israel has begun a ground offensive in Gaza City that promises a new round of horror in an already existing humanitarian disaster. Despite widespread global condemnation, Netanyahu continues doing what he is doing to carry out his Right Wing messianic vision for Israel. Unfortunately, with Trump - just as with Biden - the U.S. continues to send financial support for the Israeli effort. While our Secretary of State Marco Rubio says “It’s their war,” many would argue it is Israel’s war - and ours. In my interview today with Arab-American political advocate Raed Jarrar, he argues that...

"It's Time To Engage in Some Radical Thinking" says Trump Whistleblower Miles Taylor

The Marianne Williamson Podcast

On September 5, 2018, an anonymous Op Ed appeared in the New York Times entitled I am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. Obviously that caused a stir, followed by the publication of a book by the same author called A Warning. Someone was yelling from the inside: Get away from this man as fast as you can. You get the drift. Ultimately the Anonymous author revealed himself to be Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the US. Department of Homeland Security. Having worked in the Bush administration as well, Taylor knew how things were supposed to work in the White House -...

IS AI OUR FRIEND...OR OUR FOE? show art IS AI OUR FRIEND...OR OUR FOE?

The Marianne Williamson Podcast

There’s a general consensus about a few things regarding AI: It’s here and it’s not going anyplace. The world will never be the same. It’s extremely convenient to use at times, though people should realize that sometimes it lies. The environmental damage it causes is huge. In the hands of corporations like Palintir, it’s already being used for what could be government control and totalitarian purposes. The conversation we’re having about it as a society is morally and ethically inadequate to the challenges it poses for the human race. I asked Brian O’Kelley, co-founder of...

From deporting innocent citizens to criminalizing homelessness, America’s government today is breaking laws and normalizing cruelty. Tens of thousands of America’s unhoused population work part or even full time. Many have children. When homeless encampments are removed and people’s belongings trashed, how are those people to keep their jobs? How are the children to go to school? The level of trauma being inflicted on people is something beyond what any person of conscience should be willing to tolerate.

I asked Jesse Rabinowitz, Campaign and Communications Director at National Homelessness Law Center, to help explain what’s happening and what we can do about it. Please support a bill currently before Congress that would actually help solve the problem. Make calls. Spread the word. Make noise.

Cruelty is evil. We must not give in.
