In this timely and challenging episode of NEXT 2.0, host Chuck Cammarata sits down with Rev. Angela Denker—Lutheran pastor, journalist, and author of the new book Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood. Together, they explore the unsettling trend of radicalization among young white men in America, and the role that right-wing Christianity, online influencers, and cultural isolation have played in shaping this movement. Rev. Denker draws from her background in ministry and journalism to explain how themes like “traditional gender roles,” male dominance, and purity culture are being weaponized in some Christian circles, leading to toxic masculinity, disillusionment, and even violence. The conversation also touches on the shift in voting patterns, with more young men backing candidates who promote misogynistic and racist agendas—contrary to the values many churches claim to hold. Through a mix of theology, political analysis, and lived experience, Denker offers insight into how communities and churches can respond to this growing crisis with honesty, accountability, and hope. To learn more about Rev. Angela Denker’s work, visit angeladenker.com, follow her on Substack at angeladenker.substack.com, and find her books—Red State Christians and Disciples of White Jesus—at Amazon, local bookstores, or Werner Books in Erie’s Liberty Plaza.…

In this episode Chuck Cammarata chats with Mayor Joe Schember, running for a third term and a chance to extend his legacy of hope and service. When Joe originally ran for mayor he made it known that he wanted to rid the city of racism and make Erie a more welcoming city. He also inherited a city that was deeply in debt, had a significant urban blight problem, and a self esteem deficit. In his seven years as mayor the city has, among other things, been able to gain the designation of “Welcoming City”, which is a title awarded to by the Welcoming America network base on a number of criteria, created budget surpluses, procured millions of dollars in grant money, which has enabled them to avoid raising taxes for the past 6 years, has sponsored programs that have connected 120 law enforcement officers to local schools working with 1,600 students, and more. He is hoping to be granted the privilege of leading the city for 4 more years to continue putting in place programs that will further improve life for Erie residents. Give a listen as Joe and his chief of Staff, Renee Lamis, talk about accomplishments and plans for the future. You can contact Joe at cityof.erie.pa.us or at joeschember.com…

Would America's reaction to specific presidential actions differ if they were attributed to former President Obama rather than President Trump? The question of white (male) privilege, tolerance, and public perception weighs heavily on how political actions are judged in the public eye, shaping ongoing debates about accountability and political standards. As politically engaged citizens, it's up to each of us to shape this perception. America may be teetering on the edge of a constitutional crisis as former President Trump continues to test the limits of presidential power and challenge long-standing democratic norms. With each boundary pushed—whether through defiance of legal institutions, inflammatory rhetoric, or attempts to undermine electoral processes- the resilience of the Constitution is being put to the ultimate test. The nation finds itself at a crossroads, forced to reckon with whether its system of checks and balances can withstand such unprecedented strain. In this episode, our host is joined by Marc Blount and Lynn Johnson to help us wrestle with this important topic. You don’t want to miss this!…

We judge and write off those who find themselves “unhoused”. Not Jennie Hagerty. Jennie sees these women as beautiful people who just need some help to build healthier lives for themselves and their children. Jennie Hagerty is an impressive community leader. She has been the executive director of the Mercy Center for Women for the past 8 yrs and she has been growing her organization to serve more women in need. She has won awards for her fund raising and last year was named the 2024 Nonprofit Excellence Awards CEO of the Year. She is recognized around town, and beyond, as a stellar fund-raiser, which is true, in part, because she passionately believes in the work she does to serve people who are not being well served by the social service systems and who are often stigmatized and marginalized Her most recent accomplishment was the conceptualization, oversight, and fundraising efforts that transformed the vacant Holy Rosary School into an affordable housing and resource hub, the first of its kind in Erie, now named the Mercy Anchor Community Center. To bring that project to fruition she needed to raise four million dollars. She actually raised five and a half million! She is an Erie native and a Gannon graduate.

Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States.

According to The Associated Press, Trump secured at least 277 Electoral College votes by early Wednesday morning, putting him over the 270 needed to declare victory. More than 72 million ballots were cast in his favor, marking the first time that a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote in 20 years, and his campaign is projected to have swept all seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. The GOP also flipped the Senate, securing majority control with 52 seats. Control of the House of Representatives is still up in the air. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” Trump said on Tuesday.

A recent survey from The Energy Policy Institute at The University of Chicago found the following information. After a several-year decline in support for the statement that human activities primarily drive climate change, support rebounded in 2024, with 54 percent of respondents agreeing that humans are the primary driver. The increase was most pronounced among Democrats, with a 7-percentage point bump in just one year.

A new lawsuit has surfaced in the Southern District of New York, accusing Diddy and his former bodyguard, Joseph Sherman, of drugging and violently raping plaintiff Thalia Graves at the Bad Boy Records studio in 2001.
