#439 - Karys Rhea - The Woke Right is Jeopardizing the Soul of America

Karys Rhea joins Something For Everybody this week. Karys is an American political commentator and former producer at the Epoch Times and Newsmax. A writing fellow with the Middle East Forum, ambassador for Israel365 Action, rising leader at the Global Liberty Institute, and recording artist on Baste Distribution, she is currently writing a book about how right-wing identitarianism is undermining President Trump’s vision, fracturing the MAGA movement, and jeopardizing the soul of America. In this conversation, Karys and I delve into the complexities of masculinity, political extremism, and the influence of media personalities like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. We discuss the importance of understanding the roots of current political ideologies, the dangers of social media, and the necessity of gatekeeping within conservative movements. The conversation also touches on the rise of antisemitism and conspiracy theories, emphasizing the need for a robust response to these challenges. - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF 👉 https://shopforeverybody.com/ - Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates 03:01 Transitioning to Writing and Consulting 06:12 Background in Music and Entertainment 09:00 Political Awakening and Career Shift 12:12 Exploring MAGA Principles and Values 22:48 The Rise of the Woke Right 29:52 Cultural Shifts and Young Men's Demoralization 40:51 Addressing the Threats Within Conservatism 51:31 Gatekeeping in Conservative Movements 58:42 The Dangers of Authoritarian Ideologies 01:00:03 Antisemitism and Conspiratorial Thinking 01:07:37 The Influence of Popular Media Figures 01:10:39 Navigating Controversial Figures in Media 01:20:10 The Impact of Candace Owens on Culture - Extra Stuff: Get my free guide of 4 things to quit to transform your life here: https://aaronmachbitz.com/quit/ - Join our exclusive community: https://www.patreon.com/AaronMachbitz - Important Link’s: Follow Karys on X - https://x.com/RheaKarys - (Recorded on December 5th, 2025) Edited by Ben Rogerson (@BenRogerson_) - Episodes You Might Enjoy: #413 - The Art of Building Trust and Mastering Communication from a Spy Recruiter https://everybodyspod.com/dreeke/ #418 - How to Be Happy: Jesus’ Surprising Path to Genuine Joy - Pastor Mike & Dr. Jeffrey https://everybodyspod.com/realhappy/ - Get in touch: iG: https://www.instagram.com/AaronMachbitz X: https://x.com/AaronMachbitz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMachbitz/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AaronMachbitz Email: https://www.aaronmachbitz.com/contact/
