06-24-25 FULL SHOW - The Sin of Empathy, And Let's Talk About Pride Month

EMPATHY HAS BEEN WEAPONIZED And there is a fantastic book about it called The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits by a fellow named Joe Rigney. Dr. Joe Rigney serves as Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrews College and a pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. He is the author of eight books, including Leadership and Emotional Sabotage (Canon Press, 2024) as well as The Sin of Empathy. To say his take on how our natural sympathy has been weaponized against usisn't being taken well is an understatement, as you can read in this column, but after reading the book I agree with him 100%. We need compassion, not empathy. One helps, the other enables. It's a great book and you should buy it here. It's about compassion, not empathy. He joins me at 1.

LET'S TALK PRIDE FOR A HOT MINUTE One of my favorite gays Rich Guggenheim joins me today to talk about PRIDE month and why his amicus brief was cited in the Skirmetti decision. That's at 2:30.

A CEASE FIRE THAT WASN'T So last night I saw a post from President Trump where he announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
