Send us a textJoin us for Bishop Wright's latest podcast series: The Heart of Moral Leadership. Moral leadership is critical in turbulent political times because it provides a compass for guiding people through uncertainty, promoting justice, and fostering unity. In periods of division, leaders with strong ethical principles inspire trust, encourage empathy, and model behavior that prioritizes the common good over personal gain.Jesus' leadership, marked by compassion, forgiveness, and a radical commitment to loving one's neighbor, offers a moral framework that transcends political and social boundaries. His teachings focus on humility, service, and advocating for the marginalized—values that resonate throughout history and remain relevant today. In the series intro, Bishop Wright has a conversation with The Rev. Dr. Robert Franklin, Senior Advisor to the President of Emory University and the James T. and Berta R. Laney Chair in Moral Leadership. They discuss what defines a moral leader and draw examples from Jesus, Dr. King, and President Jimmy Carter. Dr. Franklin shares the importance of nurturing a collective responsibility, urging us all to embody ethical behaviors and cultivate a moral compass in our daily lives. Listen in for the full conversation. Dr. Franklin is the Senior Advisor to the President of Emory University and holds the James T. and Berta R. Laney Chair in Moral Leadership. Before joining Emory, Franklin was a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Martin Luther King Jr. Institute and Director of the Interfaith Religion Department at the Chautauqua Institution in New York. An ordained minister, Franklin served as President of the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) in Atlanta from 1997 to 2002.A celebrated author, Franklin has published four books: Moral Leadership: Integrity, Courage, Imagination (2020); Crisis in the Village: Restoring Hope in African American Communities (2007); Another Day's Journey: Black Churches Confronting the American Crisis (1997); and Liberating Visions: Human Fulfillment and Social Justice in African-American Thought (1990).Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.
As the 250th anniversary of the start of the American revolution approaches and with America in crisis it's time to return to the Founders' Words. In the first of an occasional feature, FRDH podcast host reads through Tom Paine's pamphlet Common Sense for words of wisdom to help guide people through Trump and Musk's destructive takeover of the American government. You should listen because as Paine wrote 250 years ago, "The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind."
Forty-five million people in the U.S. — about one in six adults — owe a total of $1.7 trillion in student-loan debt. Canceling some of these federal loans has become a flash point in modern American politics. In a new book, Burdened: Student Debt and the Making of an American Crisis, Ryann Liebenthal traces the origins of the student-loan system and breaks down how it works today. Liebenthal spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about ways to address this trillion-dollar problem.
Learn how by mid-December, 1776, the American Revolution was in desperate straits. Explore that after a series of defeats, the American Army had retreated through New Jersey and was stationed in Pennsylvania — with the British Army across the Delaware River. The Continental Army was on the verge of utter collapse. Overconfident, the British went into Winter Quarters. Congress gave George Washington enormous authority, and Washington used the lull in fighting and his new power to reorganize and strengthen his troops. Washington and his officers designed a daring attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. Before the battle, Washington inspired the troops through the reading of Thomas Paine's American Crisis. Follow Washington's troops through the winter storm, the crossing of the nearly frozen Delaware River, an arduous march, and the pitched battle. The fate of the new nation depends on it. Through divine intervention, Washington was able to mount a surprise attack on the hated Hessian troops in Trenton, winning an improbable victory, which became a critical turning point in the war.

With those unforgettable words, Thomas Paine lit a fire in the hearts of patriots during one of the darkest moments of the American Revolution. First published on December 19, 1776, The American Crisis was more than just an essay - it was a rallying cry that turned despair into victory. And it was filled with timeless wisdom that we can all find inspiration from today. The post These Are the Times That Try Men's Souls: Words That Saved the Revolution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

Episode 46 • Thomas Paine, Common Sense & His Amazing Life and Death. Welcome Back Patriots! Okay, today, we are going to talk about a man that many have heard of, as well as the remarkable impact his words on parchment had on the entire cause, the civilians and more importantly, the Continental Army itself. I am talking about Thomas Paine. I will discuss his auspicious beginning, we will dive into two of his most famous writings, “The American Crisis” and “Common Sense,” and how well they sold and the impact they had will likely amaze you. I will also talk about what he did after the war, which did NOT help his popularity any. Then, I will talk about what happened happened after his death, well, what happened to his body, which is hard to fathom. It's odd, funny and sad at the same time.

Since this archive episode aired early in our podcast, organizations have paid off billions of dollars in medical debt, and many hospitals have stopped suing patients for small claims. However, the problem of medical debt is far from over and now is the best moment to do something about medical debt. In this interview, Berneta Haynes, Staff Attorney with the National Consumer Law Center, talks in depth about what medical debt is, who is affected by it, why it's a massive issue in the United States, and how to start solving this problem. In the US, getting sick or suffering an accident can lead to costly bills that trap a patient in a debt and disparity cycle when they lack money, insurance coverage, or live with a chronic condition. The National Consumer Law Center seeks to help communities of color and low-income populations by teaching them to manage their debt, handle collectors, and know their rights. Berneta explains the provisions and protections the Affordable Care Act and the No Surprises Act have to protect consumers from unfair medical bills and aggressive collections while highlighting changes and actions that improve the law, reduce debt, and expand the support umbrella across the country.

The "Whiskey Rebellion," as Alexander Hamilton called it, was the first major test of the new government's power to control its territory. The Whiskey Tax of 1791 taxed smaller producers of whiskey, and required all stills to be registered. The response of farmers in the west--many of them veterans of the Revolution--was at times violent, and President Washington responded by leading an army of 13,000 men--mocked at the "watermelon army"-- to subdue the rebellion. We talk about this story with Brady Crytzer, author of The Whiskey Rebellion; A Distilled History of an American Crisis.Tell us what you think! Send us a text message!

Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809) A 13 pamphlet series by 18th century Enlightenment philosopher/author Thomas Paine, published between 1776 to 1783 during and immediately following the American Revolution, gathered into one volume in 1882 by Moncure D. Conway. Each essay, plus 2 inserts, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. Replete with quotable quotes, the first pamphlet, Crisis I, begins with the now-familiar words "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Paine, an Englishman living in the colonies, signed his pamphlets anonymously as "Common Sense."

A lot of angst around their finances, a lot of angst around our economy, or a lot of angst about the, the amount of national debt that we have and the way that we're living our lives today. So we will jump into that. And this just absolutely blew my mind. It it's crazy. And when, then you tell anybody about this, it'll have the same effect. It's, it's so crazy. Then we will jump into the next one, which is that Larry Sinclair Tucker Carlson had somebody named Larry Sinclair on his podcast, and it will be releasing the same day that this is releasing, he will be releasing a podcast, which is a full interview with somebody who claims that they had sexual relationships with Barack Obama and did cocaine with him back in 1999. Now, that wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world, right? People do cocaine but what's crazy about this is that this is not a woman. This is a man I. Hmm. And to have enough merit to where Tucker Carlson is actually having you on his show on an interview is pretty crazy. So we'll discuss that in the clip that Tucker Carlson dropped about this. Now, this isn't extremely new. I believe we've actually even talked about this before, but just the fact that Tucker Carlson had him on his show to discuss this is pretty crazy. So we'll look at that video together. Then we will talk about how Peter Ducey made Karine Jean Pierre, the White House Press Secretary. Look absolutely silly when talking about a excerpt from a book that came out about Joe Biden's own claim. And then last, but not at least, we will discuss the people that have been indicted and then found guilty from January 6th in what seems to be a witch hunt like. Absolutely making an example of these people. You know, the, the four people that I have up on this article were proud boys and they've just absolutely gone to extreme lengths to make sure that they set an example of these people. And it seems quite crazy because the one who's gotten the most time out of this was not even there during January 6th. Was not even there. Wasn't in the, wasn't, didn't go into the capitol, none of it. All right, so all of that more stick around. First thing I need you to do is go ahead and hit that subscribe button. Leave a five star review again. That's the only thing that you can do to give back to me right at this moment. Just take the time out, take five seconds if you could. Again, I appreciate it a lot. It's, it's I, I've gotten quite a bit of reviews from this more recently, and I, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. It really does help to continue motivating me, letting me know that what I'm doing, it kind of resonates with you guys, so I would appreciate it. Again, from the bottom of my heart. Go ahead, hit the subscribe. Leave a five star review and. Head over to the Austin Adams sub stack.com. Leave your email there. Anytime I have any announcements, any new podcast companions, I will be dropping them there as well. Alright, so without further ado, let's jump into it. The Adams archive. Alright, so I came across a video on TikTok that absolutely blew my mind. Now, like I was saying earlier in the intro here, I feel like a lot of people are feeling the same way. You know, 70,000, like the average income today is $55,000 a year. $48,000 a year. Well it's actually $56,000 a year is the average income today per individual, right? And $56,000 today. Feels like $30,000 did just 10 years ago, it feels like, right? It's like absolute minimum that you can, you have to make that amount just to be able to find a one bedroom apartment and feed yourself. So I, I think a lot of people are feeling this way. You know, a hundred thousand dollars a six figure income used to be what everybody strove for, right? Like if you came from, you know, a lower income family, a hundred thousand dollars a year was like, you made it, you. Did it, you're, you're doing something really, you know, you're working hard. You found a job that, that rewards you for that hard work, and you found something that, that, you know, should be that, that's like, that's upper upper class, like upper middle class, let's say at least. At least with a hundred thousand dollars salary, just. I dunno. Like I said, 10 years ago people were shooting for that and so people have been feeling this, this, you know, financial angst as a result of, of what this person from this video called a Silent Depression and we are living in this silent depression today. Don't, don't get it confused, right? What, what he compares in this video is that the Great Depression was what everybody looks back on and goes. I can't imagine living in the financial times of the Great Depression, but when you actually, when you actually look at the numbers, the financial and economic the where we're at today as an economy is worse off an individual level than it was during the thirties, during the Great Depression. Absolutely. We are worse off today than we were during the Great Depression financially. Alright, and let's, let's break that down because that's a pretty crazy and wild claim. And I thought so too when I heard this initially, but this is how it breaks down. In 1930, the average income was $3,900 per year. Okay, so let's, let's go back. The average income in 1930 was actually $1,300 per year. I mixed up some of the numbers there. The average income $1,300 per year. Okay, the average income today is 56,000, just like I said earlier. Okay. The reason I messed it up is 'cause I'm looking at a graphic that's. Quite terrible to try to organize this thought, which came from that video. So the average income was $1,300. The average income today is $5,600, right? We're comparing 1930 to 19 or to 2023. Now, in 1930, the average house was $3,900. The average house today is $436,000. So in 1930, it took you three years of a full-time income being saved in order to purchase a home at $3,900. Now, today, it takes you eight years more than double the time that it would've taken you during the thirties to buy the average home. Okay, now the next thing is, The average car, the average car in 1930 costs $600. The average car today costs 48 to hundred or $48,000. Now, back in 1930, that was 46% of your income. Today, that is 85% of your income. The average rent was just $216 per year, 16% of your income, and the average rent today is $24,000 per year, or $2,000 a month. So when you look at it that way, when you just break down the numbers to live the standard life in 1930, You come to find out that the silent depression is real, just to make the, the, the average income and to save for the average house, to buy the average car to rent the average house costs three, three times almost in every single category, eight times your your yearly income when it comes to a house. Three times in 1930. So, so what we're seeing here is a trend that, you know, one, one thing you could correlate this with too, that, that takes away some of the, the craziness of the statistics is the co the, the the average The, the way that we live today, the standard of living has absolutely gone up since 1930. So that, that's a fair critique of this, this percentages in, in, in these finances that, that you're looking at here. Because the house that you were buying at as the average house is being $3,900 back in 1930 was definitely not the $436,000 houses that people are purchasing today. The average car that was $600 is absolutely not, you know, the the 2023. Ford Escape that you're buying today, right? The, the, the, the standard of living has absolutely gone up, but with a standard of living going up. The, the difficulty to maintain that appearance. Right. How many people in 1930 do you think were in debt compared to how many people were in debt today? We live on a debt-based society. Nobody, nobody is, is saving up eight years of theirs full salary to purchase a home at $436,000. Right? So, so I think that's a more. A more valid conversation here is that the, the amount of debt we live in a debt-based society today. The person who was buying their car for $600 in the thirties was purchasing it with cash. The, the person who was buying a $3,900 house was purchasing it likely. Cash, the person buying a $436,000 house is not buying it with cash. Right? So you absolutely have to live below the average standard of living in order to live at your means today. And just even seeing the average income go from 1300 to 56,000 is a crazy amount of inflation. 56, almost 50, 50 times the inflation. Or, or the, the, you know, the, the income. And that's something that sounds nice until you look at the, the average house cost going up by more than 10, 12 times, right? So we live in a debt based society, an enslavement of the, of the people, of the families units within our society today in order to just maintain the average lifestyle. You have to go into debt. You have to be, be a slave to the, the people who are now not only taking that money and giving it to you, but that you have to pay them interest over time. Right? Which again, demeans your standard of living long term, they profit off of that. Right? And then you go back to the the silent weapons for quiet wars conversation. Right. You wanna bring that into this. The debt was absolutely a weapon to be wielded by those elites so that they could become the gods and you could become the slave. And we see that play out perfectly here in this formula that we're looking at in front of us. So I really just thought that was pretty, pretty crazy to, to see and, and have that breakdown. Now again, the standard of living has gone up significantly. I can't imagine spending 40% of my income just on my monthly rent. How, how do you live like that? You don't, you have to live below that, that standard. So the next thing that we'll be discussing is that Tucker Carlson had a man on his podcast, which he's now posting on x, X being what was formerly known as Twitter. Lots of mix ups going on in the world right now. So Tucker Carlson had a man on his podcast named Larry Sinclair. Now, Larry Sinclair is a man that you may have heard the name of before I've even mentioned it maybe once before on this podcast. But Larry Sinclair has. Said and made a statement on Tucker Carlson's podcast, which to me is a, that's kind of a big deal, right? When he's just out there saying stuff into the wind. It's really not, not not earth shattering, but when he goes on one of the biggest platforms in the world and says that not only did he meet with Barack Obama and do drugs with him, specifically cocaine, and watched him do crack, he also claims that he had sex with him twice. Now, this comes on the back of. Maybe that's not the way to phrase it, but this comes on the back of, of a claim recently by bar allegedly one of, I believe it was Barack Obama's assistant or somebody, somebody came out stating that they had Records of Barack Obama stating, I believe it was like maybe a former ex-girlfriend or an assistant, somebody, somebody like that, came out and said that they had letters from Barack Obama saying that he had fantasies about men. So Larry Sinclair, just weeks after that came out is now coming out and saying that he had sex with Barack Obama, not once, but twice, while also simultaneously doing drugs with him. And so this comes from the post-millennial. And again, you can always follow along with what I'm seeing on my screen here, right on YouTube if you find the Adams archive. On Tuesday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson released a teaser for an upcoming interview with Larry Sinclair, the man who claims to have had sex with Barack Obama. Sinclair alleged that he met Obama at a Chicago bar in November of 1999, where the pair did drugs before engaging in intercourse. Here is the video. You're just a guy who's in town for the night, and it sounds like you're looking to parties. Yeah. Pulled up in a bar outside, and there's this guy that's introduced to me as Barack Obama. I had given Barack $250 to pay for Coke. I start putting a line on a CD tray to snort, and next thing I know he is got a little pipe and he's smoking. So I just started rubbing my hand along this. By to see where it was going and it went the direction I had intended it to go. Even though you had sex with him twice, you did cocaine with him, watched him smoke crack twice. You had no idea who he was. I had no idea who he was. Lemme just ask the obvious question. What was Obama like on crack? Is it your sense that that's who Obama is, just transactional or that these bisexual or like, what is this? It definitely wasn't Barack's first time and I would almost be willing to bet you it wasn't as long the guy's running for president and credible information. Comes out that he's smoking crack and having sex with dudes. That seems like a story. Well, it would be a story if the media really cared about telling people the truth. Hmm. So that comes out tomorrow, which will be today for you guys on the day that this comes out at 6:00 PM on Twitter now known as X. So go listen to that interview. That should be an interesting one because Tucker's asking some very interesting questions there. Right now, if we read this article and continue reading it, it says that you're just a guy in town for the night and it sounds like you're looking to party. Goes on and reads what we just listened to. He went on to suggest that his allegations would've been taken more seriously by those in power if the media really cared about telling the truth. Sinclair first made the allegations against Obama in 2008 in the middle of the then Senator in the middle of the then Senator from Illinois Presidential Run and soon released a book. He was offered a hundred thousand dollars by White house.com to pass a polygraph, but failed and proceeded to suggest the sponsors of the test had been bribed. Ooh, that's interesting. As political reported at the time, Sinclair was a, has a long criminal history in 13 known aliases. Many of his offenses include elements of fraud and deceit. During a recent appearance on the Adam Corolla show, Carlson acknowledged Sinclair's past, but nonetheless said he believed that the allegations were true. Then it says this is a breaking story. It's, it's really not. This has been out since 2008. Let's see if we can find more on these allegations here as they come out. So he says, the man who claims, and then let's go ahead and click this. It says, Tucker Carlson says, Barack Obama had gay sex, smoke, crack, and media ignored the head of election. And this was, let's see, and the timing on this August 30th. So not too long ago. On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson said that despite it being really clear that Barack Obama was both having sex with other males and smoking crack people all over the media neglected to report on the topic before the 2008 presidential election. Carlson discussed the allegations surrounding Obama's lifestyle, which originally came from a man named Larry Sinclair on Wednesday as he spoke on the Adam Corolla show. And here's the clip from that. You know, everybody I knew the world I lived in, in Northwest DC like everyone works either directly for the government. Or is a, a parasite on government, effectively, including people I love and know really well. And the media is too, by the way. I mean, the media is reporting on government, but it's also dependent on government. You know, in 2008, it became really clear that Barack Obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack. And a guy came forward, Larry Sinclair, and said, I'll sign an affidavit. And he did. I'll take a lie detector. And he did. I smoked crack with Barack Obama and had sex with him. Well, That was obviously true. Nobody reported it, not because they were squeamish about sex or drugs, but because the Obama campaign said anyone who reports from this gets no access to the Obama campaign. And so they didn't report on it. So that happens. That's just one small example, but that happens all the time with lots of different issues. And now do you, do you believe that transpired or do you believe the guy is legitimate or both? Oh, the Larry Sinclair story. Oh, that definitely happened. Oh, for sure. I mean, I've talked to Larry Sinclair about it, and oh, definitely it happened. I mean, if you, Larry Sinclair's been in and outta prison during one period, I mean, you know, 40 years ago he was in and outta prison. He's got a criminal record. By definition. He's, you know, poor he's got a disordered life. He's missing a tooth, like he's not. You know, an Atlantic fellow he's not going to the Aspen Ideas Festival. I, I think he has a record of deception. Obviously he does, but this story, if you listen to it in detail, is clearly true. I mean, there's just, I mean, I'm gonna do an interview with him and you can hear it. And again, it's not gonna change the world that Barack Obama likes dudes. I think this was well known. Barack Obama said so himself in a letter to his girlfriend. And by the way, that's kind of Barack Obama's business. I'm not attacking him for, for liking dudes. I'm just saying the amount of lying in the media about it was unbelievable. Like people knew this was true and it was quite obviously true at the time, and people who covered the campaign didn't say anything about it because they didn't wanna lose access to the campaign. And, and that happens all the time up and down government. So it's, it's almost like if you have a housekeeper, you think, oh, you know, she works for me. But if you have a housekeeper long enough, you realize, well, you actually work for her and you get caught up in her dramas. Do you know what I mean? Like, yeah. Mm-hmm. There's a weird dynamic where you switch places d d with people in No, and, and by the way, fire her abruptly and she'll write a tell all book about Tucker at home. That's exactly right. And you know, we, we don't even have a full-time housekeeper, so like that's not gonna be an issue for me. But the point is, you think you're holding government accountable, but actually they're controlling you. That that's really the dynamic in Washington. But you know, you're living in the soup and it's hard to see it at work. And this is a long way of saying the conclusions I've reached are middle aged conclusions. And that's a lot of it. Right? It's just that I've gotten older. And you can't see certain things when you're younger. And it's like young people, you'd think they'd be the most open-minded of all. They're the least open-minded because they're afraid of the future. So they want to believe whatever storyline they've been fed is true. Like the only problem with Americas white supremacy and like our tax system is fair and Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman or whatever. They don't want to un, they don't wanna face like the terrifying unknown and complexities of. The actual world we live in, the reality of life, which is like, we have no freaking idea. Wow. What's going on? Actually, they don't wanna admit that. Hmm. Interesting. I'd like to see maybe if there's any other interviews that we could watch really quick on Larry Sinclair. So let me go ahead and pull that up and we'll watch some of those. But I, I don't know if I disagree with him, although I disagree with maybe the premise of, of the reasoning behind it. Let's see. Larry Sinclair. Obama. All right. So I got that pulled up and ready to go. And here's too what I, I agree with Tucker Carlson. I'm like, who caress If Barack Obama's gay, in fact, they, he would've been even more celebrated being the first, not only black, but also gay president ever. So why I. Why hide it? You know, maybe because it gives merit to the idea that Michelle Obama's actually a, a, a man the, the, the conspiracies surrounding that. And also I, you know, going back in time in my head that there was actually somebody that I, I knew that was you know, and this sounds hokey and like, you know, you hear all these people say this stuff like, oh, I knew some guy who was really high up in military da la la and, but I, I, I was aware of somebody who I used to work around and he's. Dated that he used to work security detail. And this guy's legit. He, he knows, he knows lots of people and, and he's was very, very everything that, that sounds hokey right. Very high up in special forces and ended up working security details for the president or presidential campaigns and. All of that stuff. And he said that he, he, he met and, and did security for Michelle Obama and he actually gave some merit to the idea of that conspiracy. So I don't know what to say about it. I'm not saying it's true. I'm just saying I knew a guy who said that he knew that that might be the case. That's all I'm saying now, you know, the whole hokey special forces high up thing that's legit though. This guy was like, One of the most legit dudes I've ever met. So pretty crazy. I won. I won't say his name 'cause you know, all that, you know, gotta make it more hokey. But yeah. Anyways, so let's go ahead and watch this video here. Larry Sinclair ex-girlfriend of Barack Obama says she had the letter. So that's who it was. It wasn't an assistant, it was his ex-girlfriend who said that he wanted to make love to men. Do with that, would you please? Who cares? Honestly, you know the, the general public would've celebrated him even more. That's why I'm not sure why the, why they wouldn't have just came right out and, and said that. But interesting stuff. Let's go ahead and watch the Sinclair video here. 'cause this is way back in the day when he did this in 2000, way back in the day, 2008. In regards to the Obama incident, I flew out of Colorado Springs, Colorado to Chicago on November 2nd, 1999, arriving in O'Hare early in the morning of November 3rd. Yo, I'm just saying how he's explaining this. It sounds very natural, but why would you make up something like this? Right. Wow. Oh, so people are Larry Sinclair let's see. Hmm. On the stand. 'cause that's where he's sitting at. It looks like in a courtroom. Here we go. Here's the video from two three. Larry Sinclair got a question? Yes, sir. 15 years ago this was posted microphone. Mr. Sinclair, could you explain why if this incident happened in 1999, you waited until 2007 or 2008 to come forward? It's a question of credibility, sir, why didn't you come forward back in 1999 or 2000? I'm number one in 1999. I really didn't care whether he was the senator from or not, to be honest with you. I wasn't a resident in Illinois. As far as why now I was living in Mexico up until 2006. It really was of no interest to me. I know plenty of politicians, both locally and internationally that, you know, are pretty much crooked. The whole issue was based on his drug use and his claim that he had not used drugs since his college days, and that was the whole issue that brought this forward. Next question, sir. Are you receiving any financial support for your efforts from anyone? And if so, does any, do any of those people have connections to the Republican party? I can. I'm glad you asked that question. Number one, I am not connected with any party. Republican, independent, libertarian, democratic, none nor are anybody that are contributing to the cost and the expense of this. Every penny that has gone to pay for this press conference, my travel expenses have come from average American citizens, most of them actually, according to their own statements or declare independence in the sums of from 12 and 31 cents to a hundred dollars each. This project, what is Veritas Federal Media and what role do they have? And this recogni of the camera crew and back the media company you just requested. What is it? It's exactly what I just answered, this gentleman. It represents every individual person. It's not a company. In all honesty. It was established as an email address when I arrived here for the Democratic National Committees bylaws and Rules, rules. Okay. I did. I did. Okay. It is not a company, it is nothing more than a name to represent all of the individuals across this country that have helped get this story out. He does seem like a little bit of a con man. I'll say that a bad one to would you be willing to share your mental health records with the public? Actually, I'm going to post later this afternoon a list of all my. Through all of your medical records that are available through 1999, anyone with valid legitimate press credentials that wants to check my mental health history, I will be more than willing to sign an authorized medical release for that record. Will we get more 30 minutes? Huh? More than 30 minutes. More than 30 minutes of what? What the documents. Well, actually, if you if, if you're valid press and you want me to release my psychiatric records, I. Lease them to you as long as you pay for them. I have nothing to hide. Good. It was a judge about McCain in 30 minutes. Oh, sorry. You can tell where I'm at today, Mr. Matton. Yes. Mr. Sinclair. Will you state whether you had sexual relations with any other politicians here today? Your name has come up. Larry. For the record, I have not been engaged or involved with any other politician. In fact, at the time that I met Senator Obama, I had no idea that he was actually in Illinois politics. What a question. Let's see how long this press conference is? Nine minutes. Why did you change your name? So, Well, first of all, in my younger years I was cons. So why did you change your name so often? So there was what Tucker alluded to, there's like 13 aliases of this man. He had a history of deceit, right? He, he seems like the way that he's speaking you, you can tell he is a little bit of a con man. Now that doesn't completely discredit his claim but it does a little bit. It does a little bit, although this completely backs up what Obama said himself to his ex-girlfriend, who had no reason to out him, to, in, you know, the, the letter that he wrote to her considered like you know, wild. And it was wild of respect to my family because as you can see with everyone putting my past history all over the place and distorting it I changed my name the first, actually, the first two times I changed my name was while serving prison sentences in Florence, Arizona. Nice politician Mexico, watching the last 24 hours gonna see. But as of morning, I think came to, here's the most watched portion of this. Okay. What, what, what time did you meet him on November 6th. And what time did he arrive at your hotel on the journey? On the day following, we met in the early evening on November 6th. As far as the specific time on November 7th, I cannot provide that to you, and I know where that question's coming from, but I cannot provide that to you. You know where it's coming from. Thank you. How, when and where did you incur this permanent disabling nerve and spinal injury? Sacramento, Cal, Sacramento, California. Injuries from October of 2000 through August of 2001, while employed with B N G delivery systems on Harris Avenue in Sacramento, California. And, and what is your source of income now? Is that my source of income? My, my source of income is disability, social security, everything in writing based on this constant misinformation and misrepresentation that's been circulated. I'm gonna give you everything in writing and you to make your own decision. Okay? What, what, what time did you meet him on November 6th. And what time did you arrive at your hotel on the journey of the day following? We met in the early evening on November 6th. As far as the specific time on November 7th, I cannot provide that to, I have stated, I'm not sure why, stated that he was introduced to me as Barack Obama by the driver and by Barack Obama. Himself, sir. Always. Hey Larry how much did this whole event cost you and what, what are you doing now for a living? Well as far as anybody wanting to know the final expenses, I would have to check. 'cause I've had a few things changed in the last 24 hours. But as of Monday morning, I think it came to a total of $4,126 89 cents. Wow. What an interesting guy. Let's see if there's anything else on this that we find of merit until we move. Let's see. David Cross, I snorted co cocaine with Obama. Hmm. Obama and gay marriage. Said, I struggle with this. Larry Sinclair's lawyer talks about his genitalia. How do you not watch that one? Folks? Actually, I'm wondering Mr. Simply why you decided to take this on. And, and it's the report that you've been disbarred in the state of Florida. I'm wondering if you're, you're a part of the bar in, I had to answer those questions as I expected they would come up. I have been suspended by the Florida Supreme Court on March 7th, 2000. And eight and the suspension was a result of me being too litigious and allegedly not paying child support. That matter is now pending at the United States Supreme Court, but as a result, I have been reciprocally suspended by the District of Columbia Bar and the Federal District Court in the District of Columbia. Without an opportunity for a hearing or an opportunity to present my side of that story. There is on the website 147 pages, which documents what's going on in my particular professional life. And it really isn't the subject of what's going on here today, but if you're curious, you know, it's a good read. I encourage you to read it. Is it, is it fair for me to inquire about the K also? You certainly, certainly can seem to you, but I don't know why the men wear hands, but I think it's a function of male genitalia size. And you're normal or small hands probably aren't uncomfortable with those girls at the other end of the side. This cannot be, excuse me, can I say something on your question to the killer? Just, just actually, I asked him to wear a suit and tie and he says, why should he be uncomfortable? And I said, because you're paid to be uncomfortable. Look at me. Okay. Not about Obama. That was about the lawyer wearing a kilt. So this, this looks like a clown show folks, whether or not this is true or not, this man is an absolute mess. So, you know, let's, let's, let's take everything he's saying here, maybe with a grain of salt after seeing that he hired a lawyer who is disbarred and were killed. I don't know. I'll, I'll, I will have to watch this Tucker Carlson interview after all of this. 'cause this is not, not what I was expecting out of these videos. This just looks like an absolute clown show. Alright, let's see. Anything else? Anything else? Anything else? Does not look like it. And if there is, YouTube's hiding it. All right, so one of the next things we'll watch here is Jean Jean Pierre Kare, Jean Pierre, the White House Press secretary, getting asked about President O president Biden. I almost said O Biden, president Biden, which according to some people is Ashley who's running this country still, which would make much more sense than. Biden doing it and would actually make everybody feel a little bit better. But let's watch this video. It's hilarious. Okay, thank you Kareen. President Biden is the oldest president in US History. Why does White House staff treat him like a baby? No one treats the president of the United States, the commander in chief like a baby. So if there's this book that says that's ridiculous, when staff back claim what sounded like a call for regime change in Russia to the president quote, rather than owning his failure, he fumed to friends about how he was treated like a toddler. Was John Kennedy ever babied like that? So look I'll say this. There's gonna be a range, always a range of books that are about every administration, as you know that's gonna have a variety of claims. That is not unusual. That happens all the time, and we're not going to litigate those here. That's something that we're not going to speak to. There is one thing that I do want to, 'cause I think I was asked this question last week by one of your colleagues about this particular excerpt that they were referring to. And so, Okay, so I'll just reiterate the point here is that somebody wrote in a book an excerpt from something that Biden said, which was that they treat me like a toddler. Did they treat John F. Kennedy like a toddler? I. Hmm. Well, John F. Kennedy wasn't riddled with dementia. But so that, that was the idea is that oh, Biden was frustrated with the idea that he's being treated like a child. So Ducey just calls it out to Kareem Jean Pierre, and she's now. Initially tries to, you know, frivolously throw off the claim before he actually mentioned the excerpt from the book about him saying this. But watch how she basically says nothing other than a lot of people say a lot of things about stuff in books and we can't confirm nor deny anything that was said and. You know, maybe you should stop asking dumb questions and we're not going to litigate those here. That's something that we're not going to speak to. There is one thing that I do want to, 'cause I think I was asked this question last week by one of your colleagues about this particular excerpt that they were referring to. And so I'll say this, you know, we did see the excerpt excerpt go the context of the excerpt, and it seemed to be making the opposite overall point about how the value. Of his experience and wisdom resulted in rallying the free world against authoritarianism, which is important. We have seen this, you all have seen this and passage of the most historic agenda by the recent history in his handling of foreign policy, like rallying the world. Around Ukraine, as you just heard from our national security national security advisor who laid out in really good questions that your colleagues asked about how the president is moving forward about Ukraine about kind of leading into these conversations that he's going to be having at the G 20. Why do you think it is that in Wall Street Journal poll, two thirds of Democrats think President Biden is too old to run again? Look, here's what I know. Here's what I can speak to. I can speak to the president who has wisdom. I can speak to a president who has experience, I can speak to a president who has done historic, has taken historic action and has delivered in historic pieces of legislation, and that's important. When the last guy who was in this in the Oval Office talked about infrastructure week, it was a joke and the president, Passed a pretty important piece of legislation in a bipartisan way because of his wisdom, because of his experience. And now we have infrastructure decade. And it doesn't stop there. It starts Last week we talked about how the president beat big pharma. I. Something that elected officials, oh, he beat, it's gone. And politicians have been trying to do for 33 years beat, and he's been able, he beat to do that beat. And we introduced 10, the first tranche, the the first 10 drugs that Medicare can now negotiate on. Right. And it's going to save money for our seniors, for Americans across the country. The, the gentleman that introduced the president, Steven, who's 71 years old, paying $16,000 a month, $16,000 a month. Just to stay alive because he had cancer. Notice this rambling. When the question was, how do you feel about two thirds of the Democrats in the country feeling like Joe Biden is too old to run. She turns it into this and diabetes, and he cannot retire because he's, because he has to pay $16,000 a month and because of the work that this president has done. He doesn't have to do that anymore. And I'll say one last thing. I know you have a follow up. Probably about five more, but let me just say this one last thing is that. The interesting thing about this is that the president has done these historic pieces of legislation, whether it's the bipartisan infrastructure legislation, whether it's the American Rescue Plan, whether it's Chips and Science Act whether it's the Infl Inflation Reduction Act. There are some Republicans right in the House in the Senate that did not vote for any of these legislations that I just laid out, who go back to their state, go back to their district and take credit for something that the president did. So this is not unusual. They did this in 2019. They did this in 2020, and the P, they did this in 2022 and the president continues to prevail. I don't see how that answers that question at all, but what's probably the most infuriating thing for her to say there why Federal and Georgia pushing electric is that Joe Biden just, he beat big pharma. We know that he beat big pharma. It's been done, it took 33 years for people trying to do this, but he beat big Pharma. No you didn't. Big pharma's making record profits. They've been making record record profits during the entirety of his presidential campaign. Everything, everything he's done has helped Big Pharma from shutting down the country to enacting you know, vaccine mandates. It's a winter of, of death and destruction or whatever the hell he said about people during covid. So funny. So, Anyways, the, the last thing we're gonna discuss here is gonna be that the, the January 6th situation. Okay. So there's been four people now found guilty during, from January 6th, all of them related to the Proud Boys. There was, I believe one or two more today leading to maybe five or so members getting actual indicted and charged with crimes. And what we're seeing from this is that these people are being charged with exorbitant amount of jail time over these frivolous, seemingly frivolous actions. I, I, I just cannot see any violent crime going on here. So let's read this article. It comes from N B C that says four members of the far right Proud Boys organization were found guilty Thursday of Seditious Conspiracy in connection with January 6th attack on the US Capitol. Enrique Tario. Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordeen and Zachary Rail were found guilty on the of the rare charge of Seditious Conspiracy under a Civil War era statute. Wow. That's how far they had to reach back a Civil War era. Statute. Dominic Pola, another member of the group was found not guilty of Seditious conspiracy. Terry Biggs Nordine and Rail were also found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding while US District Judge Timothy Kelly declared a mistrial on the count that Pola, after the trial said it could not come to an agreement. All five proud boys members were charged with nine counts in connection with the attack on January 6th while Pola, who was caught on video smashing in a window with the Capitol Police shield during the breach, and who admitted into his behavior on the stand was separately charged with a 10th count of stealing the police shield and found guilty. Thursday Pola was also found guilty of assaulting, resisting, and impeding certain officers while four other defendants were acquitted of that charge. The jury recently a partial verdict and Kelly declared a mistrial on several other counts, which did not come to a conclusion. The mis, the trial unfolded about for over about four months with jury selection beginning in December and opening arguments starting in early January. It was the third seditious conspiracy case to go before jurors sensed the capital attack. Six members of the far right Oath Keepers group, including Founder Stewart Rhodes, were convicted on that charge across two trials in November and January. Jeremy Bertino, a high level member of the Proud Boys, who pleaded guilty to the Seditious Conspiracy in October. Testified for the prosecution in his latest trial as part of a plea deal, telling jurors that proud boys believed they had to do anything that was necessary to save the country. Hmm. Prosecutors argued the proud boys were thirsting for violence on January 6th and had organized in advance to stop certification of President Joe Biden's win by any means necessary, including by force. Defense attorneys countered that the Justice Department was using a group as a scapegoat for the real person to blame for January 6th. Donald Trump. Two defendants. This is where it gets a little bit more interesting. Two defendants testified at the Trial Rail, the head of the organization's Philadelphia chapter and Paola, a floor installer from New York, who members of the organization called Spazz just before Rail was set to be cross-examined online through surface videos that appeared to show him deploying a can of pepper spray towards Officers Rail, who was not charged with assaulting police. Denied it. At trial, Pola got heated on the stand, bringing up conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories about another January 6th. Participant, Ray aps, who seemingly is nowhere getting charged while saying, let's go into the Capitol and ranting about the fake charges in the phony trial. The biggest challenge prosecutors faced. You know, let's see if you can actually get those clips. Maybe that would be interesting. Of course. We will probably not be able to. Hmm, Nope. Let's see if we can at least get the quotes. Our plans were maybe to storm the liquor store. That was it. Yeah. Interesting, interesting, interesting. But what's crazy about this, what's the craziest thing going on here? Is that this guy, that this what was his name? What was the name there? Fi, not Paola, but Rail. Rail I believe got 22 years in prison for. This situation. Now, the what I believe, I believe he was the one who was not even there at the time of actually storming the capitol. Storming the capitol. Right. So they're, they're taking it. There was another guy that I saw on Twitter earlier. I. I don't think I'll find it right now, but he got a year and seven months just for being there and walking through the building a year and seven months in jail while the head of the Proud Boys got 22 years while he was not even present at the time of them having this museum tour. Right. Not even present at the time. So it seems like. All too convenient that at the same time the Justice Department is being weaponized against the former president of the United States. He's, it's also being weaponized against the very people who had any sort of support for him during this event. Right now, we all know Donald Trump's very likely just gonna get off on all charges. But these guys, these guys with real lives, Marine Corps veteran families, friends, Not billions of dollars are going to suffer immensely for this 22 years in prison. This guy got for January 6th and he was not even there. Think about his wife, think about his children. Think about his friends and his family and his future is gone. And this guy's like an older dude. He's not. He's not super young. 22 years. There's rapists and murderers who get off with less time in their conviction than this guy just got for. Not even being present for saying words on social media. It's crazy. So we'll see this play out, but. Yeah. Now we know, right? Just you, you gotta be smart about the way that you go about these things. You know, use your voice and, and definitely don't run into the Capitol no matter how many F b I agents tell you to do it. All right guys. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. Have a wonderful day. I love you. I'll see you next time. Peace.
When the British surrendered at Yorktown, the war ended and American independence was secure. Or was it? The British still occupied Savannah, Charleston, and New York City, and the Congress was not able to pay the American army. During the two years between Cornwallis's surrender and the final British evacuation, George Washington faced one of the gravest crises in American history--an attempt by some of his officers to usurp the authority of Congress and establish themselves in power. Would Washington go along? We talk with William M. Fowler, author of American Crisis: George Washington and the Dangerous Two Years After Yorktown 1781-1783. You thought winning the war was difficult--wait till you hear about winning the peace!
Cybercriminals, con artists, digital spies. We call them many things but they all have the same motive - to steal your data and information and ultimately, your money. Last year, Americans lost nearly $7 billion dollars to online crime. That's 9 zeroes. There's no denying that tech has enabled incredible progress, but our increased connectivity comes with great risk. It's time to take the best of technology and put it to work for protection vs. exploitation and battle back against the relentless onslaught from hackers. In this session, actor and producer Robert Downey Jr., who recently set out to learn everything he can about online crime and its impact on the world, brings together three of the industry's most knowledgeable minds – Aura CEO Hari Ravichandran, security expert and former FBI agent Eric O'Neill, and New York Times bestselling author Maria Konnikova – for a riveting discussion about the true scope of the crisis Americans are facing, a look inside the minds of cybercriminals and how they are able to manipulate our families and wallets, and thoughtful solutions on what can really be done to fight back. If you have a phone in your pocket, join this session, then join the fight.
Historian and author Brady Crytzer joins Tim to talk about his latest book on one of the lesser known stories of early America…the Whiskey Rebellion. Brady is the author of “The Whiskey Rebellion: A Distilled History of an American Crisis.” It comes along at a time when our newly formed republic was still in its infancy. Well not quite infancy. If the Civil War was America's rebellious teen years, then the Whiskey Rebellion was our country's Terrible Twos. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Brady_Crytzer_-_Whiskey_Rebellion_auphonic.mp3 It's probably not an overstatement to say that a good number of Americans today never heard of Alexander Hamilton until the hit Broadway musical called Hamilton hit the stage in 2015. They may not even realize that he's the face they see on the front of the ten-dollar bills they spend. And even they do know of Alexander Hamilton, some think he was one our first presidents. Such is life in America in 2023. But the fact that we're still talking about the man says something of the impact he had on the shaping of the nation. We're going to talk about a piece of his legacy, and that of George Washington and others, in the context of a true insurrection. In March of 1791, U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton proposed a domestic tax that sent shockwaves through the Western Frontier and sparked an insurrection. At that time, the Western frontier was western Pennsylvania, an area known in Philadelphia as the Ohio Territories. Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland. What Hamilton proposed was an excise tax on whiskey. His goal was to balance America's national debt in the wake of the Revolutionary War and the country's battle for independence. The law he sponsored was called the Whiskey Act, and it penalized famers in the backcountry, while playing favorites with large distillers. It's may be hard for Americans to understand today, but ultimately the controversy centered on imposing federal authority over frontier settlers. American history author Brady Crytzer says to understand why this didn't go over well, you need to understand more about the western frontier and the times in which they lived.

Fourth of July is traditionally one of the biggest beer-selling holidays on the calendar, and for the past decade-ish, Anheuser-Busch InBev has capitalized on the holiday by remaking Budweiser with a Stars-and-Stripes label and a jingoistic name. Known colloquially as AmeriCans, these seasonal rebrands present a vision of the United States that simply doesn't exist in reality—a lesson ABI is learning in real time as it tries to assuage transphobes with platitudes three months into the 2023 Bud Light backlash.

When I turned 16, I wanted a car, just like pretty much every other American teenage boy. When I asked my father for financial help getting my first car, he told me that if I didn't get the money myself, I would value the car. I didn't like that answer, but as Thomas Paine said in The American Crisis, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly”. it turns out my father was wise to make me work for my first car. We are not here today to talk about teenagers and their cars, but of the trillions of dollars the United States spends each and every year. First, we should ask if our employees in Washington, D.C. are spending our money wisely, or like some spoiled rich brat, are they treating our hard earned cash like Monopoly money? Once we answer that, the next obvious question is, do we cut up Uncle Sam's credit cards before all 330 million of us are bankrupt?

While you probably won't find it disguised as candy as the rumor goes... the fentanyl drug has quickly become a crisis here in the states.

Esther Eaton from The Dispatch joins Boyd to discuss how this morphed into a massive problem and why we need a multifaceted approach to solve it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
These are times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.Thomas Paine, The American Crisis. December 19, 1776It is amazing how the same principles emerge again and again in all walks of life. This paragraph reminded me of the speech by Henry V, in Shakespeare's play, on the eve of the battle of Agincourt. I guess it is true that human nature doesn't change. Neither does the divine nature.Washington read this to his troops not long before crossing the Delaware on the famous night of December 25, 1776. Washington's army had collapsed from 30,000 to 2,500. One third of these did not have boots; they wrapped their feet in burlap and left a trail in blood as the marched the nine miles to Trenton to cross the river—at night, in a snowstorm. The password that night? Victory or death. And I have no doubt that those with feet wrapped in burlap knew the truth well enough: Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.It is an odd thing to consider that tyranny does not arise in a night from nowhere, and a sobering thing to consider that we are in danger of surrendering to the new Tyranny. When I heard a speech outlining what happened on that occasion, I thought of Christians now in 21st-century America. Many people today seem to think that the Christian Church is facing a crisis.I think it is indeed; but I need to open your mind a little to the nature of that Crisis, how we should think about it, and what we should do about it. First, don't assume that your church is the only church with a problem. If there are people in your church, you have a problem; because churches are composed of people, and people are always a problem. And, as unlikely as it seems, you are likely part of the problem yourself.Where would I go in the Bible to evaluate my church, your church, our churches, our Christianity? The Epistles of Paul? Oh yes, and John and Peter. But there is a temptation when you read this to say, Oh, that was them. We don't have that problem. That said, there are some letters in the New Testament that seem to be directed more broadly in time and place. There are seven of them, and they are found in chapters two and three of Revelation...

Episode 12 – Revolutionary Advice Sooner or later, we all have to face hard times. There's just no away around it. And when we do, we have to find the courage we need to make it through the tough challenges that lie ahead. In that regard, I once read some tremendous advice about finding inner strength, and it came from a rather unexpected source. Leading up to the American Bi-Centennial, I was researching the Great Seal of the United States for a potential film project. The seal was created to be the symbol of what the new country stood for. On one side, it has a pyramid, but in place of the capstone on the top, it has a glowing eye that seems to be peering out from another dimension. It also has two phrases written in Latin which mean “He Favors Our Undertaking,” and “New Order of the Ages.” It's been on the back of a one-dollar bill for almost a hundred years, but nobody pays much attention to it. It's actually a fairly mystical design with cosmic overtones, and one of its creators was Benjamin Franklin. It turns out that along with being a major genius; he was also a pretty trippy guy. Anyway, unrelated to the research, I found a pamphlet by Thomas Paine, that was written during a real low point of the Revolutionary War. It opened with the stirring line that's become world-famous, “These are the times that try men's souls.” Something about it got me and I decided to dig into it a little deeper. When it was written, things were really bleak. The colonists had declared their independence on July 4, 1776, and the furious British Government had reacted quickly and violently. Before long, the Americans were in serious trouble. Out-manned, out-gunned and out-organized, the shocked rebels were facing the most powerful war machine on earth, brutally hell-bent on their destruction. Within the first few months, 11,000 soldiers just gave up and went home. Then the British captured 3,000 more troops and chased the wounded Continental Army out of both New York and New Jersey. By the winter, shaken and freezing, the demoralized rebels were on the verge of giving up. We can't understand today how bad things really were. Defeat seemed certain. Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin would be hanged for treason, along with countless others. And the brutal punishment that would follow would reduce the country to near slavery Then, in December of 1776, to inspire the people to return to the fight, Paine wrote a series of pamphlets called “The American Crisis.” The opening line, “These are the times that try men's souls,” took on a much deeper meaning for me now that I realized the true horror of the situation. More than a million pamphlets were distributed and it quickly became a major phenomenon. Its effects were immediate and the country was galvanized. Washington had it read to his soldiers before they launched the surprise attack on Trenton, which changed the course of history. One phrase near the end stood out to me. I read it carefully and it was every bit as wise as it was powerful. Like a blueprint for finding courage and inspiration, it has seven key points to it, which for me, remain empowering words to live. The phrase itself is: “I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.” Let's take a look at these seven key points: Key 1 - “I love the man that can smile in trouble,” I found this to be a truly powerful image – someone realizes they are facing trouble and they smile. That really got me. Nobody likes trouble and nobody wants it. So, when it comes, why would your reaction be to smile? Of course, everyone will look at this in a different way, but to me, it speaks to the power of a certain kind of attitude. And it's almost as much a question of what the attitude doesn't have as what it does. It has no self-pity. There's no “why me?” There's no self-doubt. It's more like, “I'll give it my very best. And if I give it everything I have, physically, mentally and spiritually, then no matter the outcome, it will bring out the best in me and make me a better person. And I'll have a positive impact on everyone and everything around me.” We all admire this kind of courage, and intuitively, we all know we have it. If we look within, we can find it, and like every other part of our being, it gets stronger with use. Key 2 – “that can gather strength from distress” This sounds almost counter intuitive. It seems like distress would weaken you, rather than strengthen you. But neuroscience holds some interesting information on this. It has to do with our fight or flight mechanism and managing fear. The instant our survival mechanism senses we're in danger, with a hair-trigger response that is much quicker than rational thought, it releases powerful hormones into our system, putting us on high alert and getting ready to either run for our lives or fight until death. Now, thankfully, most of the challenges we face aren't that extreme, but the fear reaction is exactly the same, only to a lesser degree. And if you can bring the fear into a manageable level, you can derive the positive benefits of the hormones strengthening your system and sharpening your focus. That's a powerful combination. When it comes to managing fear, we've all been doing it all our lives. Since we were infants, we've each evolved our own approach. But neuroscience offers a fascinating insight that can be quite helpful as well. It turns out that the part of our brain that triggers our survival mechanism is the same part that regulates our breath. And there is a deep physiological relationship between the two. If you breathe a little slower and deeper, it automatically helps calm your nerves and release your fears. This physiological relationship is the result of millions of years of evolution. So, by regulating your breath, you can regulate your fear. Key 3 – “and grow brave by reflection.” Reflection is defined as fixing your thought onto something and giving it careful consideration. So, when we're facing trouble, we want to give careful consideration to the things that give us courage. And this takes some consciousness. Many times, when we're in stressful situations, our breathing becomes shallow and we automatically start catastrophizing our fear. Our thoughts can get out of control really fast. After all, it doesn't take any effort to be afraid. Fearful thoughts just come with the territory. And like sharks in the water when you're travelling on an ocean liner, the trick is to stay in the boat. One good way to stay in the boat is by giving careful consideration to all the positive elements in your life. Maybe look back on the successes you've had and how some things have worked out positively for you. Or look at all the lessons you've learned from all you've been through. Nothing brings more courage than wisdom. When it comes to taking courage from reflection, one of the most basic things you can reflect on is the fact that you're alive, you're breathing, your heart's beating and your brain is thinking. And every one of these is purely a miracle, which means that they surpass all human understanding. Maybe give that particular perspective some careful consideration and see how brave you get. Key 4 – “Tis the business of little minds to shrink,” This is a deceptively deep statement. According to many wisdom traditions, our intelligence has two basic components – our ordinary mind and our essential self, which is also called “the heart.” Shrinking from a challenge is a common reaction of our ordinary mind because that's where self-doubt lives. But the larger part of our intelligence, our heart, is very different. It doesn't shrink, it expands. If we can understand this basic difference, we don't need to be weakened by negative thoughts and feelings. Many of them are just products of self-doubt. And maybe we can't stop the ordinary mind from thinking these thoughts, but we don't have to inhabit them. We can gently shift our focus to the stronger part of our inner self, our heart. And again, like every other skill, this takes practice. Key 5 – “but he whose heart is firm,” Speaking of the heart, over the centuries, many highly evolved beings have told us that the heart is actually the true home of our consciousness. All the ideal characteristics of humanity flow from there. As the seat of our intuition, as well as our conscience, it is not only kind and gentle, but also firm. It knows right from wrong, is an unparalleled anchor of stability and it doesn't waiver. The mind might waiver, but not the heart. When your consciousness is with it, it feels like home. And it feels like home because that's exactly what it is. Again, you don't have to create or manufacture it, all you need to do recognize it. Truly firm and firmly true, it makes the hard times easier to bear and always enhances the happy ones. Key 6 – “and whose conscience approved his conduct” I guess you can sum this idea up in one word – integrity. According to the dictionary, our conscience is our inner sense of knowing what's right and wrong. And when our actions are in line with it, we feel the strength of integrity. And not only does it feel good, it's a very formidable power as well. This is one of the reasons that challenging times can produce so much growth in us. They make us stretch to uncover all the best traits that we have. Of course, nobody's perfect and everyone is faced with their own personal learning curve. But in the growth process, while it's impossible to avoid making mistakes, when you face your errors with integrity, you can transform your mistakes into life lessons, and that is a very powerful form of alchemy. Key 7 – “will pursue his principles unto death.” To me, this says that when you have found your courage and you heart and mind are aligned with integrity, you won't cease to serve the noble principles of your being. You'll persevere and stay the course, no matter what the outcome may be. This reminds me of a story that I once heard Ted Turner tell on TV. He had become close with environmentalist pioneer Captain Jacques Cousteau and was funding some of his efforts to preserve the planet. I haven't been able to find a recording or transcript of it, so I'm going to paraphrase it to the best of my memory. They were travelling on the noble ship, Calypso, going from port to port and wherever they went, they ran into one environmental catastrophe after the next. There were appalling amounts of garbage and pollution everywhere. “Captain, I'm getting discouraged.” Turner said to Cousteau. “Don't do that,” Cousteau responded. “Even if we knew that we had no chance to protect the earth, and even if we knew our efforts were doomed to complete failure, we would still carry on with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts, grateful that we had the opportunity to serve the highest.” This has always been one of my favorite stories, as well as one of the most instructive ones I've ever heard. And there's nothing I would add to a statement of this level of nobility, so this will be the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind, and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.
