“WOKENESS” COMES WITH A PRICE TAG… AND IT’S WORSE THAN A HEADACHE.

Yoram Hazony knows a thing or two about cultural revolutions. In addition to his many other accomplishments, Hazony founded and headed the Shalem Center, a Jerusalem research institute that conducted nearly two decades of pioneering work in the fields of philosophy, political theory, Bible, Talmud, Jewish and Zionist history, Middle East Studies and archaeology beginning in 1994. The Center’s publishing arm, Shalem Press, became Israel’s leading publisher of Western philosophy translated into Hebrew and published Azure magazine. In 2013, Shalem was accredited to grant Israel’s first Liberal Arts B.A., and formally became Shalem College. He served as President of Shalem from 1994-2002, and as Provost from 2005-2012.

In this episode, Hazony takes a deep dive into how “wokeness” has infiltrated our institutions, our big corporations and our mass media… but what actually is being woke and what does it cost? The leading political theorist breaks down the movement from its inception to its widespread effects on the free world. It is his belief that this dangerous belief system must be fought back with a return to the strong Christian principles that this nation was founded upon.

The monitoring cameras inside Iran's most fortified nuclear facilities just went dark. The IAEA has been locked out. And from 60% enriched uranium to a bomb… it's now a matter of days. But while the world watches the Middle East, a completely different kind of threat is already operating inside American cities. In this episode, Sam Westrop of the Middle East Forum breaks down the architecture of the Red-Green Alliance, a tactical partnership between the radical left and Islamist extremist networks targeting American sovereignty from the inside out. We examine the river of money flowing through U.S.-based front charities, the municipal capture happening in Michigan, and what Maximum Pressure 2.0 actually needs to look like.

In this episode, we break down the DHS funding fight, what’s really at stake, who’s sabotaging border enforcement, and why bureaucrats and radical politicians would rather protect sanctuary policies than protect American families. We explain how funding battles directly impact border security, ICE enforcement, deportations, and national safety, and why every delay is a win for cartels, traffickers, and criminals—and a loss for law-abiding Americans. If you care about law and order, American sovereignty, and putting citizens first, this episode is required listening.

Homeland security is facing a critical funding deadline. While most of the federal government received full-year funding, the Department of Homeland Security was left on temporary funding set to expire February 13. That instability affects law enforcement, disaster response, counterterrorism, and maritime security. In this Code Red episode, we break down what DHS does, why temporary funding weakens public safety, and why Americans must speak up now. 👉 Take action. Contact Congress and demand full DHS funding before the deadline.
