The Professor Penn Podcast

Professor Penn sits down with Kraig and Desiree Bougher to discuss faith, business, and the need for Christians to bring Christ back into the marketplace. They share how COVID Times pushed them to launch Ignite, a community built to connect Christian business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders around truth, encouragement, and shared purpose. The conversation explores how business can be more than profit, becoming a place of service, mentorship, generosity, and spiritual responsibility. Professor Penn connects their mission to his own story of illness, faith, and rebuilding, arguing that hardship can become the place where people truly encounter God. They also discuss abortion, marriage, Christian responsibility, voting, and the danger of believers leaving faith out of politics and public life. Ultimately, the episode calls Christians to stop standing on the sidelines, live their faith openly, and rebuild America through truth, work, prayer, and civic action.

Professor Penn reflects on the theater of modern politics, arguing that scripted candidates and establishment media are masking deeper problems inside the country. He focuses heavily on election integrity, automatic voter registration, illegal immigration, and the need to treat voting as a sacred civic responsibility. Penn also connects small business, debt, trade, and government policy to a larger argument that ordinary citizens are being squeezed by a system built for corporations, lobbyists, and political insiders. The episode shifts into Minnesota gun rights, where Penn criticizes the recent Senate gun bill and questions whether advocacy groups are using fear to raise money rather than clearly defending citizens’ rights. He also discusses faith, forgiveness, personal responsibility, and the cost of telling the truth in public life. Ultimately, the episode calls for citizens to stop treating politics like entertainment and start organizing around truth, sovereignty, and real civic action.

Professor Penn breaks down King Charles addressing Congress as a signal of resurging globalism and continued U.S. alignment with a British-rooted empire, challenging the idea of true American sovereignty. He connects modern conflicts, especially in the Middle East, to long-standing colonial history and questions the morality and economic structure of war, debt, and resource control. The episode dives into emerging technologies like AI, digital ID, and universal basic income, warning of a shift toward technocratic control and loss of individual freedom. Penn also critiques domestic politics as an illusion of choice, arguing both parties advance the same underlying agenda while citizens remain disengaged. He closes with a call for faith, historical awareness, and grassroots political action to reclaim sovereignty and resist a dystopian future.

Professor Penn argues that the Minnesota Senate race reflects a deeper fight inside the Republican Party between outsider populists and establishment candidates sold as “electable.” He warns that endless war, federal debt, and political corruption are pushing the country toward digital currency, digital ID, and technocratic control. The episode also explores how Zionism, Christian end-times theology, and modern foreign policy became intertwined, with Professor Penn questioning the religious and political forces shaping America’s role in the Middle East. He closes by urging listeners to stop being passive, get involved locally, and defend the republic before the current system becomes irreversible.

The episode opens with a reaction to footage of Saddam Hussein’s court-ordered execution, leading into a broader discussion about America’s history of regime change around the world. Professor examines rising tensions with Iran, the potential impact on global trade, and argues that nations led heavily by military figures may be more prone to conflict. The conversation then shifts to Second Amendment pressures, reactions from Republican leaders, and a look back at U.S.–Iran relations dating to the early 1900s. The episode wraps with reactions to comments from Senate candidate Adam Schwarze and Michelle Tafoya, before closing on the SAVE Act and the ongoing debate around election security.

Episode #281 of  @professorpennpodcast  In this episode, Professor Penn reacts to clips of Congressman Eli Crane questioning Governor Tim Walz and State Senator Erin Quade criticizing Republican lawmakers over ICE operations in Minnesota, emphasizing the public’s responsibility to hold elected officials accountable. The discussion highlights Walter Hudson’s emergence as a leading voice within the state GOP, the planned March 1st rent strike, and what Professor views as contradictions in Minnesota’s approach to ICE enforcement. The conversation then shifts to Pastor John Hagee and biblical arguments surrounding Israel, where Professor critiques the intersection of faith, politics, and institutional influence. The episode closes with reactions to commentary on political sex scandals, President Trump’s push for voter ID laws in the upcoming midterms, and Robert Kagan’s warning that Europe should be wary of America’s trajectory.

In this episode, Professor is joined by CD7 congressional candidate Dave Hughes, who shares his political background and why he believes politics must begin at the local level. Hughes reflects on his experience within the Republican Party, expressing frustration over internal conflicts and naming figures such as Michelle Fischbach and Alex Plechash as part of that story. When asked why he’s running for Congress in 2026, Hughes outlines a bold plan to drastically reduce the size of the federal government, including eliminating entire departments, and addresses concerns about whether members of Congress grow wealthy and shift their principles once in office. The conversation expands into agriculture policy, abortion, the direction of modern America compared to its founding ideals, and closes with a discussion on military policy and national priorities moving forward.

In this episode, Professor is joined by special guest Wendy Philips, who shares her journey from living and working in California to her early career as a singer and songwriter, including formative childhood stories and a memorable encounter with Chuck Norris.

She opens up about coming to faith later in life, serving as a worship leader, and how a powerful message from God redirected her purpose beyond music. The conversation concludes with her experience with the Republican Party, the obstacles she faced, and her upcoming campaign for Secretary of State.

In this episode, Professor opens with a recap of how caucus went, noting that Tanner has stepped into the role of delegate while walking him through the next steps and responsibilities of a precinct delegate. The discussion moves into the biblical perspective on immigration in America and how Minnesota media shapes narratives through selective headlines and imagery. Professor then reviews recent news clips involving Michele Tafoya, questioning her legitimacy and framing her as part of the political status quo, before expanding into a deeper breakdown of who the “real enemies” are and how financial power, education funding, and media influence are used to manipulate the public. The episode closes with a reaction to new developments in the Georgia election investigation and what they may signal going forward.

Episode #276 of  @professorpennpodcast  In this episode, Professor Penn is joined by Martino and reporter Erika to unpack the recent anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis and how those events are affecting public perception of the Republican Party. They share personal experiences and explore how immigration challenges and globalization have strained communities and public systems while igniting intense debate across Minnesota and beyond. The conversation also covers recent interactions between Pam Bondi and Governor Tim Walz regarding federal enforcement tactics, and why these tensions have broader implications for national politics and civic engagement. Throughout, the discussion emphasizes the need for informed involvement and thoughtful solutions rather than reactive division.

In this episode, Professor Penn opens by playing a clip from the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine and draws parallels to the ongoing protests in Minneapolis amid federal operations, using the concept of Color Revolutions — mass protest movements aimed at political change funded by outside entities — as a frame to ask whether the U.S. is experiencing something similar now. He then moves into a critique of current Minnesota politics, calling on Republican members to unite and remove bad actors while addressing recorded comments from Zach Duckworth about internal party strategy of tricking the republicans. The discussion also covers reactions from local leaders to recent Minneapolis ICE protests and explores how financial backing may be influencing these demonstrations. Finally, Professor stresses the need for civic engagement and thoughtful leadership as he responds to public commentary and calls for cooperation across political lines.

Episode #274 of  @professorpennpodcast  In this episode, Mike Lindell joins the podcast to discuss his journey, his faith, and why he believes Minnesota has become a flashpoint for issues far larger than party politics. David shares a personal reflection on being inspired by Lindell’s film before the conversation turns to election integrity in Minnesota, the attacks on MyPillow, and how state leadership could have addressed alleged fraud. Lindell outlines his policy priorities, including reforming education, eliminating sales tax in big-box stores to support local businesses, and addressing the mental health crisis affecting homeless and addicted populations. The episode closes with a clear call to action to participate in the caucus system, secure elections, and move beyond pointing out problems toward practical solutions.

Episode #273 of  @professorpennpodcast  In this episode, Professor Penn opens by reacting to recent videos from the World Economic Forum, using them as a lens to frame growing concerns about centralized power and global influence. He argues that American citizens were strongest when they practiced true self-governance and warns that the public is now backed into a corner that requires mass participation in the caucus system. The conversation challenges politics to move beyond endless wedge issues and refocus on aligned interests, while calling on Christians—one of the largest yet least politically engaged groups—to become active locally and invest in self-improvement during unstable times. The episode closes with a critique of entrenched power structures, the rise of RINOs in upcoming elections, and how unlimited Federal Reserve funding continues to sustain the system pressing down on everyday citizens.

Episode #272 of  @professorpennpodcast  This episode covers the storming of a Saint Paul church during anti-ICE protests and features a candid conversation with Minnesota State Representative Mike Wiener. Mike shares the history of his district as former DFL territory, what it is truly like working inside the chambers, and why he approaches the role focused on preparation and responsibility rather than politics-as-usual, even amid deep polarization. With the February 3 caucus approaching, he explains why citizens must show up, announces his decision to run for Senate under a self-imposed two-term limit, and outlines how ordinary people can get involved and regain real influence. The discussion closes with tough questions about faith and governance, rising civil tensions in Minnesota, and Mike’s decision to file articles of impeachment against Tim Walz, including what led him to take that step.

Episode #271 of  @professorpennpodcast  This episode begins with a timely discussion of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in South Minneapolis and Mayor Jacob Frey’s response to the federal enforcement presence in the city. We then pivot to national politics with President Donald Trump’s focus on alleged Minnesota fraud and his intensified support for ICE operations, the local political implications of Keith Ellison’s run for Attorney General, and public commentary from Steve Miller about a “day of reckoning” and federal agent immunity. The conversation expands to broader themes such as the deepening military posture of the United States, economic pressures on trade, the “patriot economy” and why individuals must engage in self-governance if real change is to occur. Finally, the episode connects these tensions to long-term global dynamics and the role the U.S. plays in shaping conflicts both at home and abroad. 🗣️ JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Master Class Meeting - January 7th, 2026. @7pm CST.

Episode #269 of the @professorpennpodcast. This episode opens with a discussion on the ICE shooting in South Minneapolis, reactions to Mayor Frey’s comments, and how dependence on an increasingly authoritarian system may reflect deeper spiritual issues beneath the political surface. The conversation expands globally with a reaction to Chinese official rhetoric on nuclear weapons, an examination of modern “hybrid war” in 2026, and how recent U.S. presidential decisions are reshaping tensions with China. We explore why these pressures are not new, how the U.S. dollar exerts global control, and why real solutions are impossible without citizens engaging at the local level rather than dismissing candidates as “unelectable.” The episode closes by confronting America’s role in global conflicts, fractures among allies, and the long-standing influence of colonial power structures on U.S. foreign policy despite the nation’s founding purpose to break from them.

Episode #268 of the @professorpennpodcast. Professor sits down with Matthew Simon, Chair of the North Dakota Republican Party, to discuss his path into politics, the personal hardships that came with it, and why everyday citizens have been pushed away from civic engagement. They explore how that disengagement fuels many of the nation’s current challenges, break down the nine core values behind Simon’s party platform, and emphasize the necessity of holding public officials accountable. The conversation closes with a deeper reflection on responsibility in government and the often-overlooked spiritual force shaping political leadership and culture.

Episode #267 of the @professorpennpodcast. Professor talks about the new viral piece from Nick Shirley that uncovered a lot of Day Care Center Fraud happening in Minneapolis MN. He draws the contrast to this amount of fraud compared to the massive amount that could be happening. Is this a Minnesota issue? Or is it across the nation?

Episode #266 of the @professorpennpodcast. As Christmas approaches, Professor Penn reflects on the season while outlining the strategy and concrete actions being taken to continue growing the movement.

Professor reacts to comments from Steve Bannon regarding a potential future candidacy involving Steve Daines, then breaks down how the military-industrial complex is embedded directly within U.S. Congress. Using the federal registry, he reveals how much is being spent on weapons and war, raising the question of why America always seems to be at war.

Ilhan Omar’s claims that Donald Trump is responsible for the affordability crisis facing the country. The Professor then shifts into a historical examination of Somalia and the Somali people, using that context to explore how immigration has historically been used as a political tool to shape — and sometimes reshape — entire nations. This leads to a broader question: Why is the immigration we see today happening, and who benefits? Professor Penn also challenges the ongoing reluctance of many Republicans to address election fraud openly, calling it a moment that demands courage rather than silence. The episode closes with a look into the British role in early Zionism and how the movement evolved into a global political force. A sweeping and provocative historical-political breakdown designed to help listeners understand the forces shaping America and the world today.

Martino shares firsthand insight into the dangers of communism — a reality many immigrant families understand deeply — and how these experiences shape their view of American politics today.

They explore the roots of the Hmong people, their ancient ties across Asia, the strength of their military history, and the role Hmong fighters played during World War II and the Secret War. The discussion moves from their journey to the United States to the growing influence of the Hmong community across Minnesota today.

Episode #254 of the @professorpennpodcast.

He responds to Mark Levin, explores the difference between socialism and republicanism, critiques Zionism vs criticism of Israel, and unpacks the Supreme Court fight over Trump’s tariffs and the looming risk of economic collapse. All of it leads to one question: will “doomer” young people stay powerless, or step into precinct politics, caucus, and real local organizing to take their country back?

Episode #253 of the  @professorpennpodcast  Professor Penn opens with the St. Michael prayer and lays out how Marxism, globalism, and the “uni-party” are driving America toward unrest—from communist gains in big-city mayor races to EBT chaos and Klaus Schwab’s call to “prepare for an angrier world.” He exposes how both parties, including Minnesota GOP leadership, have abandoned the four pillars of republicanism by embracing mail-in ballots, omnibus bills, donor “stakeholders,” and global governance over borders, fair elections, and the common good.

He explains why unity must be grounded in principle, not personalities, and breaks down how the four pillars of Republicanism stand in sharp contrast to careerist politics.

David also explores election integrity issues including automatic voter registration, DOJ lawsuits, and AG funding, asking why hearings are only arriving now. He connects these developments to broader concerns around digital ID systems, technocracy, and the dangers of surveillance states like China’s cashless model. Woven throughout is a spiritual framework, invoking Psalm 91 and St. Michael, underscoring that political battles begin as inner battles of courage. David draws historical parallels from Washington’s winter and the Swamp Fox, urging listeners to stand firm and act locally.

From the White House’s Pfizer celebration to school failures and gun debates, he argues for radical self-governance: personal health and resilience, educating your own kids, mastering conflict and defense, and rejecting trick-messaging from suburban “progressive Republicans.” Penn contrasts Republicanism vs. Marxism, calls out party collaborators by name, and lays out ground-game tactics—map your precinct, build neighbor lists, organize for a record 2026 caucus, fund independent media—closing with a prayer to St. Michael and a simple mandate: organize locally or be organized by others.

Episode #245 of the @professorpennpodcast.
