Episode 114: Is Hate Being Taught To Our Children? Group Conversation on the book "STAMPED" by Ibram X. Kendi & Jason Reynolds
June 22, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 46.4 MBIs hate being taught to our children in the public, and some private schools? A couple months ago my cousin brought to my attention a book that his 8th grade daughter had been assigned for a book review in her NW Iowa school. I was familiar with some of the toxicity that Ibram X. Kendi had been spreading, but I was not aware that his material was being used in our public school system, much less that it was being taught to 8th graders, and even younger. "Stamped" Racism, Antiracism and You...
Episode 113: Be Engaged, Not Enraged... Conversation on Braver Politics with Rick and Barbara
June 15, 2022 11:00 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MBI started this podcast a couple years ago with the slogan, "Bettering the World, One Attitude at a Time"... That is more than just a mission statement for me, that has become one of my central purposes in life. Why you might ask? In many ways, it's because I see our world, but more specifically our country, has in certain ways become broken. What can we do if our country 's political system is broken? In addition to doing the Derate the Hate podcast, I have become quite involved with the or...
Episode 112: The Role of Emotions in the Gun Control Debate... Facts Over Hate
June 08, 2022 11:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MBI have said it time and time again on this podcast, and many of my guests have referenced the notion, that a common factor that leads to much anger and hate, is ignorance. It should come as no surprise then, and cannot be overstated, how much effort is put in by opportunist politicians and media outlets in driving the Hate agenda by keeping people ignorant to the truth, instead of presenting actual Facts, about civilian gun ownership in this country. There are few things that will rile the...
New Benefit Ride...REPLAY: Project Delta, Providing Service Dogs to Veterans in Need… with Patti Robinson
June 01, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MBWell my friends, it has finally happened, I have the Covid-19... It's bound to catch us all at some point and this is my week. I'm beyond the worst of it, but not feeling up to doing a whole show, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to run a replay of one of my great guest interviews. In light of the fact that there is another benefit ride coming up for this great organization, I've decided to run a replay of episode 65 where I spoke with Patti Robinson about Project-Delta. Where do vete...
Episode 110: Discussing Tho Overturning of Roe vs. Wade with Kevin McGary of Every Black Life Matters
May 25, 2022 11:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBWith the news in recent leak coming out of the Supreme Court that the landmark case of Roe vs. Wade will be overturned in the very near future, I thought it only made sense to reach out to my friend Kevin McGary of Every Black Life Matters. You may remember Kevin from our conversation back in Episode 88 of the podcast when he made his first DTH appearance. One of the core principles of the Every Black Life Matters organization is fighting for Real Justice for all human life, from womb to t...
Episode 109: Love Will Always Triumph Over Hate... includes replay of conversation with Chris Singleton
May 18, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBMy heart is heavy in the wake of another senseless evil act carried out this week by someone who allowed hate to overtake them. The world in which we live is a dark place, and it is up to each and every one of us as individuals whether we want to be a light in that darkness, or be a contributor to the darkness. Human beings, by their very nature, are broken. We are imperfect in so many ways, but we still have the ability to be a light to combat the darkness. IT IS A CHOICE! Nothing good come...
Episode 108: Does Free Speech Mean More Hate Speech?... with Dan Garscia of FAIR Twin Cities
May 11, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBIn this week’s episode, I am joined again by my friend Dan Garscia of FAIR Twin Cities. We’re shaking things up a little this week and doing things a bit different. Some current events have been on my mind as they are quite divisive, bringing out the hate in a lot of folks, so I’ve asked my friend Dan to join me for a conversation on those topics. Our conversation starts with a discussion on Free Speech and Elon Musk’s pending purchase of Twitter. The mere thought of an individual proposing...
Episode 107: Don't Be Mad That It's Over, Be Grateful That It Happened
May 04, 2022 11:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBI'm sure you've heard the phrase, and it may sound cliche, "Don't be mad that it's over, be glad that it happened." Now, quite often this is said in regards to a relationship that has ended, but this is not one of those times... This week I was devastated by some revelations having to do with my deer camp. Those who've listened to the podcast with any regularity for any amount of time know that my deer camp was very much my happy place and deer hunting is something I most look forward to e...
Episode 106: Awakening Your Infinite Potential With The Right Mindset... with Heather Hakes
April 27, 2022 11:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBAre we able to manifest the life we truly desire by having the right mindset? For some, this may be hard to believe, yet there are others that are sure of it, because they are living it. I say it in every episode, "Make each and every day the day that you want it to be". This is, in fact, what I am saying with that statement. It is up to us, as individuals, to manifest the day that we want to have by having the right attitude and believing it is possible. My guest this week is living her be...
Episode 105: Building Unity by Asking the Follow-Up Questions... with Michael Ashford
April 20, 2022 11:00 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBIt is a well known problem in the course of discussions, especially when someone is having a discussion with someone with whom they disagree, that they spend more time listening with the intention of responding rather than with the desire to truly understand. I am fully aware, and can readily admit that I am personally guilty of this. Thankfully I don't do this nearly as often now as I did previously in my life. This is a battle, like so many of the bad habits that we acquire throughout our ...
Episode 104: "I Never Thought Of It That Way"... with author MÓNICA GUZMÁN
April 13, 2022 11:00 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MBHave you ever wondered how to have a meaningful conversation with someone with whom you disagree vehemently on a particular topic? Do you have family members that you disagree with politically, and cannot have a conversation without things becoming heated and toxic? What if there were a book that could teach you "How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times"? There is, and this week I am honored to have the author of that book on the Derate the Hate podcast to ta...
Episode 103: Those Who Imply Correlation Equals Causation to Perpetuate Hate and Division
April 06, 2022 11:00 - 14 minutes - 10.1 MBHave you ever heard someone use the phrase, "Correlation does not equal Causation"? More importantly, have you ever taken the time to think about what that means? Quite often there are those on social media, in the main stream media, or opportunist politicians that love to take a situation, ignore all variables except those that will get them the traction they desire, and run with a narrative that stirs the most division, animosity and anxiety amongst those of differing thoughts and opinions...
Episode 102: From Left to Libertarian, A Pro-Human Perspective in the Twin Cities... with Dan Garscia
March 30, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MBAs many of the regular listeners know, I love organizations that are all about bringing people together, promoting unity and community while also recognizing that we are all individuals with our own thoughts and ideas. This is why I truly adore and respect organizations like FAIR (Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism), Braver Angels and so many others that I have highlighted on the podcast. My friend Rick of Braver Angels recently introduced me Dan Garscia who is a spokesperson for the lo...
Episode 101: If My Child Identified As A Train
March 23, 2022 11:00 - 16 minutes - 11 MBWe as a society cannot be expected to bend reality in order to accommodate those who lack the ability to accept reality. We also must acknowledge that truth, no matter whether it offends me, you, or anyone else, is still the truth and by inhibiting one's ability to speak the truth, it does not make it any less true. This simply creates an environment filled with more division and hate among those who disagree. While it is often considered taboo to discuss, and often a "cancelable" offense,...
Episode 100: What is Color Us United? ... with Christian Watson
March 16, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MBI often say that it's unfortunate that those who know the least tend to say it the loudest. Social media, the main stream media, and politicians who would rather be in front of a camera or a microphone have proved this for us time and time again. As our next guest phrased it very well, "the internet ecosystem appears to show that bad ideas are winning and flourishing". Christian Watson, my guest this week, is a podcaster, YouTuber, and spokesperson for "Color Us United". Christian is a prof...
Episode 99: How Can You Hate Me When You Don't Even Know Me? ... with Daryl Davis
March 09, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 47.5 MBHave you ever stopped to really think about what the root cause of racism is? Politicians at every level, and those in the media, now more than ever before, speak in platitudes about race, finding new ways to interject race and racism into every story and topic, but do you ever hear them present real solutions that speak to the root cause of racism? The answer, in most cases, is probably NO. When I was a child, a young man, and even to this day, I find great passion in befriending and just...

Episode 98: Making Civil Discourse Fun for the Next Generation... with Daniel Idfresne
March 02, 2022 12:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBOne of the greatest problems we face in the battle we are fighting against woke culture and the perpetual victim mentality is that not enough young people are getting involved in a meaningful way. Striving for a more meaningful and civil discourse among those who have differing thoughts and opinions is not particularly fun or exciting, for most people, especially those of the younger generation. That is one reason I was so excited when I was able to make contact with this week’s guest. Who ...
Episode 97: "Program Your Life, or Life Will Program You" ~ Les Brown
February 23, 2022 12:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBOne of the reasons I do this podcast is to help others that are getting, or have become discouraged. My primary reason for doing the DTH podcast is to Better the World, One Attitude At A Time. I believe the best way to do that is to tame the toxicity in our public discourse through individual accountability and having a positive attitude. Like so many out there, I too find myself, at times, getting discouraged. I was having a conversation the other day, with a gentleman that most people w...
Episode 96: Overcoming Your Triggered Ego... with Haran Singham
February 16, 2022 12:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MB"Don't just go through life, GROW through life". That is a phrase I had not heard before, but recently I found out about Haran Singham and his group, "The Happiness Mission". That phrase means a lot to me, because I have much personal experience in that arena. As I look back on my life, I see a lot that I am not proud of, but much that I AM proud of as well. We are not, nor should we be, defined by one period or instance in our life. You see, I know that I have GROWN in to a much different...
Episode 95: The Addiction Relapse Epidemic within the Pandemic... with Scott H. Silverman
February 09, 2022 12:00 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBOur country has been faced with, and is still facing extraordinary and unprecedented times in so many ways. Not only have we been plagued by a pandemic that is contributing to the loss of many of our friends and neighbors, but our government's reaction to the pandemic is taking an incredible toll of it's own. With so many lives and livelihoods decimated by lock-downs, mandates and the resulting loss of businesses and destruction of the economy, one of many unintended consequences is the num...
Episode 94: Living in a Drive Thru Society
February 02, 2022 12:00 - 14 minutes - 9.81 MBYou know the phrase, "welcome to so & so, what can I get for you today" or some variation thereof... I don't know what it's like where you live, but it seems you cannot drive past a fast food restaurant around here without seeing a line stretched completely around the building. What's going on these days that so many people would sit for extended periods of time to get "not so fast" food? There are a couple things going on here that I dive in to in this episode, none of which are good. Whet...
Episode 93: Being Sincere Doesn't Mean You're Right, and Being Wrong Doesn't Mean You're Lying
January 26, 2022 12:00 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MBIn this current age of toxicity people often assume if someone states something they don't agree with, the automatic reaction is "YOU'RE LYING"... Are they really lying, or are they wrong? Can someone be wrong, and be sincere, but not be lying? Just because someone is sincere about their beliefs, does not make them right, but also does not mean they are lying. People without the benefit of having facts on their side often like to inhibit or censor the ability of those with dissenting inform...
Episode 92: What's It Mean to be a Person of Influence?
January 19, 2022 12:00 - 14 minutes - 9.95 MBWhat is aperson of influence? When most people think of people of influence, they often think of sports stars, celebrities, politicians, etc. What if I told you that you that you, no matter what you think of yourself, are most likely in some way a person of influence? This week I talk a little about one of the most well known persons of influence this country has ever known, Martin Luther King Jr.. Dr. King changed the world through peace, love, understanding and common humanity. While MLK ...

January 12, 2022 12:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBHave you ever had the winter blues? Do you know what the winter blues is? In a conversation I was recently having with some friends, a friend of mine mentioned the winter solstice, how the days were now going to start getting longer again, and how we were getting closer to spring and all the happiness that comes along with it. This got me to thinking about something called the winter blues. I don't know if I have personally ever been afflicted with the winter blues, but it's likely I have. ...

Episode 90: New Year, New You, Nonsense... Every Day is an Opportunity to Better Our Lives
January 05, 2022 12:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBAre you one that makes new year's resolutions? Have you ever made a new year's resolution that you've kept, or what's the longest you've stuck with that resolution? On average, more than 80% of new year's resolutions fail before the second week in February. What if instead of wasting our energy on new year's resolutions, we make daily resolutions to better our lives? It was 12 years ago this week that we lost my father. He was way too young and not a day goes by that I don't think of him a...

Sometimes we know that what needs to be said may hurt someone's feelings, or even make them mad, but it needs to be...

December 22, 2021 12:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBHe saw Black Lives Matter yucking it up with ANTIFA, having a grand ol' time while black and brown businesses were burning, and Kevin McGary knew that something had to change. He figured people would see through the facade, but as things calmed down, and some of the noise subsided, people still didn't get it... Who is Kevin McGary and what is EVERY Black Life Matters?

December 15, 2021 12:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MBCan you imagine spending a cold winter's night on a rooftop, in the windy city of Chicago? How about spending 100 cold winter nights on a rooftop in one of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods? What if the cause was so great that you felt called to do so? Well Pastor Corey Brooks felt that calling, and he is doing just that, for the second time! Who is Pastor Corey Brooks and what is Project H.O.O.D.? Pastor Corey B. Brooks, founder and Senior Pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago an...
Episode 86: Forgiveness is Your Path Forward, Love is Stronger Than Hate... with Chris Singleton
December 08, 2021 12:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBFans of the Derate the Hate podcast know that I love stories of those who triumph over adversity, and those who persevere through the toughest times in life to come out on the other side and start their own journey towards bettering the world. Being able to forgive is not something that comes easily to everyone, and to some people, it comes as a total surprise when it happens, but it's forgiveness that often times provides us with a path forward. This week's guest, Chris Singleton, is a for...
Episode 85: Flying the Unfriendly Skies... What's up with this Hateful Trend?
December 01, 2021 12:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBI recently read an article that peaked my interest because it said something to the effect of "Flight Attendants' jobs have never been more dangerous". Obviously there had to be something here that involved hate, and I wanted to know why. Why is it that people have suddenly taken to hating flight attendants? The article, which I will not promote, looked at first to be a decent article spelling out how since the pandemic began, instances of unruly and sometimes violent passengers are causing...
Episode 84: Thanksgiving and the Age of Perpetual Outrage
November 24, 2021 12:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MBIt seems you cannot open an internet browser, browse social media, turn on a television or listen to the radio without finding out some group of "offended" or "aggrieved" people are again protesting something. Are all these people victims of something, or what I've referred to as those with the Perpetual Victim Mentality, or are their lives just so empty of meaning that they are looking to be part of something bigger? With this being the week of Thanksgiving, I have to wonder if all these "...
Episode 83: Silver Linings and How They Can Be Found
November 17, 2021 12:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MBNo situation in life has ever been made better by those who constantly beat the drum of negativity and/or victimhood. As someone who spent a large portion of my life with a bad attitude, I can definitively say that statement because I know it to be true. Gratitude is something I speak of often in this podcast, and in my personal and professional life, because I truly believe that you cannot be happy if you are not grateful, and the happy make the world a better place. As such, the unhappy an...

November 10, 2021 12:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MBFriends, I have talked about it time and time again on the DTH podcast, the victim mentality just produces more victimhood. This week's guest knows all to well what it's like to be a victim, be stuck in the warm waters of victimhood, and the results that brings. She is also one that knows how to pull herself out of that pool and become a warrior, and inspiration to others that no longer wish to be a victim.

October 20, 2021 11:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBIn the United States, there are in excess of three quarters of a million law enforcement personnel working to keep our citizens safe from the evil forces that would do us harm. The "Thin Blue Line" as it is often called, is the only thing standing between peace and chaos. Some would have you believe that the system is broken, racist, and even needs to be abolished and rebuilt in a completely different image than what we currently have. Those people are driven by ignorance, hate &/or politica...

Fred Cook's former lifestyle of hatred as a long time member of, and Chief of Staff for the National Socialist Movement, like so many others, did not start with him waking up one day deciding he wanted to live a hate filled life full of enemies.

Episode 77: School Choice is an Answer, But it's not the Only Answer... conversation wtih Tony Kinnett of the Chalkboard Review
October 06, 2021 11:00 - 47 minutes - 32.3 MBI asked the question last week, "What do you think of the K-12 public education system as it exists today?" I think that most people who are paying attention, if being intellectually honest, would say that it's a complete mess and it's in many ways out of control. It is certainly out of control in terms of parents being in control of their children's education. Many would say, and have said, that the K-12 public education system has become just another indoctrination mill for the loudest voi...

As we were paying for parking, we encountered a shining example of the reason I came up with the phrase, "No matter how right you think you are, being rude is always the wrong answer"... I also speak in this week's episode about a hateful comment made by a host of a program on one of the more pathetic main stream media net...
