Podcasts about American Dream

Six years of nonstop death jabs and the American people finally see the blood on Big Pharma's hands 56% now scream it was mass slaughter while embalmer freeways of white fibrous clots clog the veins of the poisoned, as confirmed by Thomas Haviland's global embalmer surveys. The same demonic architects of Operation Warp Speed and Cuomo's death camp nursing homes still walk free, but the reckoning is here and these genocidal butchers will swing for their crimes against humanity. The American Dream is a rotting corpse, gutted by the same Jewish financial cabal that's owned this country since 1913. Michelle McKee lived it, lost it, and now she's naming the enemy because every road of misery leads straight to the synagogue of Satan. The fake Gaza ceasefire is a total scam cooked up by Kushner and his Zionist daddy in law to green light Israel's endless land theft and Palestinian slaughter. Trump cashed Adelson's $200 million blood money to sell out America for Greater Israel! We're ruled by a Talmudic crime syndicate that hates you, owns your government, and is engineering your family's extinction. Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

If you want unfiltered truth, some cinematic metaphors, and a few unexpected cat cameos, you're in the right place.Pour a glass, settle in, and get ready for a passionate, sometimes provocative conversation that's as much about enjoying life's finer things as it is about understanding how politics and power reshape our experiences.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into the 1994 Coen Brothers classic The Hudsucker Proxy, unraveling its sharp social satire and timeless allegory about capitalism, corruption, and the illusion of the American Dream. Through their lens, the film's absurd humor and stylized storytelling become a mirror for today's technocratic age, where media manipulation, corporate puppetry, and spiritual bankruptcy echo louder than ever. The hosts dissect its themes of divine timing, moral awakening, and circular invention, connecting Norville Barnes' rise and fall to the cyclical nature of societal “turnings.” With witty banter and philosophical depth, they explore how The Hudsucker Proxy—part comedy, part cautionary tale, captures the eternal battle between ego and purpose, power and providence. Equal parts film analysis, cultural critique, and metaphysical reflection, this Story Hour reminds listeners why the Coens' satire may be one of the most prophetic films of our era.

Dying To The American Dream by Ebenezer Endiryas

This week Jeff and Marisa answer your most-asked questions about life as a digital nomad. From healthcare abroad to giving up your home base, they're breaking down the logistics that keep people from taking the leap. No fluff, just honest answers from people who've lived it.Here's what they covered:

On Saturday night at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump hosted a lavish “Great Gatsby”-themed gala, complete with 1920s costumes, chandeliers, champagne, and all the trappings of an age that once danced on the brink of collapse. At nearly the same time, across America, millions of families were warned that their SNAP benefits — food-stamp funds that keep groceries on the table — would be suspended as of November 1st due to the ongoing shutdown crisis. The contrast could not be more symbolic: one world dripping with gold and luxury, the other counting cans and wondering what tomorrow brings.“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, this isn't simply bad optics; it's a parable for our times. When the rich feast as the poor fast, judgment is never far behind. Jay Gatsby's mansion once stood as the monument to the American Dream — brilliant, extravagant, and hollow. He built his empire chasing an illusion. Trump's Mar-a-Lago soirée mirrors that same spirit of performance over purpose, a spectacle where the glitter hides the emptiness beneath. Prophetically, this moment fits the portrait of Laodicea, the final church age described in Revelation. Wealth abounds, yet faith declines. Prosperity for some flourishes, yet compassion for all evaporates. The Church — and the culture — proclaims its greatness, while blind to its spiritual poverty. This is not a call to envy the rich or to glorify poverty — it's a call to repentance. Every true Christian should take this moment as a reminder of what the Lord values: mercy over money, righteousness over revelry, truth over theatrics. “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34 (KJB)

“What does successful parenting look like?”If you ask a group of parents this question, you would get a lot of different responses.Most parents want their kids to graduate high school and college, get a good job, get married, have children, and live “happily ever after.”As a parent, you can easily become focused on worldly success and helping your kids achieve the “American Dream,” but that's not the goal in Christian parenting.Your goal should be to raise your kids to know, love, and follow Jesus!If you raise your boys to love the LORD with all their heart, soul, and strength, you have achieved parenting success.For more information about a Proven Process that is helping boys grow into godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Before there was a “haunted house,” there was a family. And before The Amityville Horror became a pop-culture phenomenon, there was a very real crime scene — six members of the DeFeo family, murdered in their beds on November 13, 1974. In this Hidden Killers deep-dive, Tony Brueski strips away the myth and exposes the true story of Ronald DeFeo Jr. — the 23-year-old son who turned a picture-perfect Long Island home into one of the darkest chapters in American true-crime history. This isn't about ghosts. It's about control, pressure, and collapse inside a family that looked flawless from the outside. Through court records, trial transcripts, and eyewitness accounts, we unravel the DeFeo family's life before the murders — a world of strict rules, generational pride, and a father-son relationship that spiraled from conflict to catastrophe. What happened inside 112 Ocean Avenue wasn't supernatural. It was psychological. A slow burn of resentment, addiction, and identity loss that ended with a rifle and six bodies. Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr. claimed he heard voices telling him to kill. The jury didn't believe him. He was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to six consecutive life terms. He died in prison in 2021 — leaving behind a trail of lies, contradictions, and one chilling constant: he never showed remorse. Decades later, the Amityville myth still overshadows the truth. This episode reclaims it. Because before it was a franchise, it was a family. And the real horror wasn't the house — it was what happened inside it.

Earlier this year I featured former Navy nuclear engineer Troy Broussard, one of whose companies powers the mobile apps at the Scott Horton Academy and my School of Life, and among other things we talked about his Low Stress Options program. Many hundreds of my listeners subsequently joined. I wound up writing an entire eBook about how well they did with it. And indeed so confident was I that they would prosper with it that I invited them all to my Christmas party this year with Troy as a special guest. What are the chances that I would invite a bunch of angry people who'd been screwed and who had lost money to come to my house -- where my children live -- for a party? That would be one awkward social engagement, would it not? Well, Troy is back to talk about the Fed, inflation, and the fact that we obviously all need to do something to protect ourselves, so what should that be?

After talking about the youth yesterday and whether they had a work ethic deficit or a hope deficit that they could actually achieve their American Dream, we spend some time today asking what the American Dream even is. How do you define the American Dream? Is the American Dream as we know it dead?

In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam Tripoli and guest CommonX explore how social media algorithms have rewired our minds and shaped modern behavior. They discuss Gen X as the forgotten control group of the American experiment, the Simulation Leak linking Mandela Effects and déjà vu to a possible reality reboot, and how corporations hijacked the American Dream through debt and control. The episode ends by examining modern prophets like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan as the new digital messiahs of our culture.

Is the American Dream still possible? On this first episode of the relaunched Kevin Roberts Show, now featuring Larry O'Connor, Kevin and Larry explore what the American Dream really is, the challenges it faces today, and what needs to happen for it to still be achievable. Larry O'Connor is the host of “O'Connor & Company” […]

Before there was a “haunted house,” there was a family. And before The Amityville Horror became a pop-culture phenomenon, there was a very real crime scene — six members of the DeFeo family, murdered in their beds on November 13, 1974. In this Hidden Killers deep-dive, Tony Brueski strips away the myth and exposes the true story of Ronald DeFeo Jr. — the 23-year-old son who turned a picture-perfect Long Island home into one of the darkest chapters in American true-crime history. This isn't about ghosts. It's about control, pressure, and collapse inside a family that looked flawless from the outside. Through court records, trial transcripts, and eyewitness accounts, we unravel the DeFeo family's life before the murders — a world of strict rules, generational pride, and a father-son relationship that spiraled from conflict to catastrophe. What happened inside 112 Ocean Avenue wasn't supernatural. It was psychological. A slow burn of resentment, addiction, and identity loss that ended with a rifle and six bodies. Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr. claimed he heard voices telling him to kill. The jury didn't believe him. He was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to six consecutive life terms. He died in prison in 2021 — leaving behind a trail of lies, contradictions, and one chilling constant: he never showed remorse. Decades later, the Amityville myth still overshadows the truth. This episode reclaims it. Because before it was a franchise, it was a family. And the real horror wasn't the house — it was what happened inside it.

Lori Pappas plodded with a slow, heavy pace against resistance in her youth. Her parents had her committed when she was 16 years old because they could not control her. She was rebellious, and her mother, a religious fanatic, was convinced she was possessed by the devil. While there, she heard rumors that she was scheduled for shock treatments. She devised a plan and escaped - armed with only her smarts and determination. Lori made the difficult decision to become the architect of her life without emotional support or a safety net. She married the first man who loved her but gave up trying to navigate his paranoia when her career took off. Divorced, she started a business before falling into another unsatisfying relationship. She was like two different people for years. Her career defined her and was applauded professionally (award-winning and nationally acclaimed.) Homelife, however, was a different story, complicated and exhausting. She juggled being a mother of three, a wife, and a businesswoman for a long time. Lori sold her company for millions of dollars at the height of the tech market and tried to retire at 49. But the "American Dream life" bored her. At 57, Lori traded in her cushy life to start a non-profit to help Indigenous people gain a chance to live a healthy life.

Das französische Orchestre Victor Hugo wagt einen ungewöhnlichen musikalischen Streifzug: Mit "American Dream" beleben sie Werke von Dana Suesse, Amy Beach und Victor Babin. Ein Album, das verborgene Schätze der US-Komponistenkunst offenbart.

In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we dig into the dark history buried beneath Dodger Stadium — Chavez Ravine. Before the cheers and bright lights, it was a thriving Mexican-American community. Then came the promises of progress, eminent domain, and bulldozers. What followed was betrayal, broken families, and one of Los Angeles' most haunting sins: a story where the American Dream was stolen in the name of it.

America has been blessed with legal immigrants who came willing to work, to learn the language, adapt to our culture, and to become contributing members of society. They did not come for hand-outs – they came to build a better life. The American Dream has inspired millions of native-born and immigrant citizens to flourish in freedom. Those born and raised in liberty often take it for granted, but those who have experienced tyranny know first-hand the warning signs of societal upheaval and collapse. Rimantas Jurevicius lived under Soviet rule and immigrated from Lithuania to pursue freedom and opportunity. He shares with Linda stories of persecution, survival, hope, and success, and he also shares warnings and concerns for the future of America if we do not preserve the God-given freedoms protected by our Constitution.  ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back fellow MeidasTouch contributor Adam Mockler for a scorching breakdown of Trump's self-serving presidency and America's deepening political crisis. Mockler, a Gen Z political commentator and creator known for taking on Republicans head-to-head, joins me to unpack how we can finally get Trump out of office. We dig into this week's news, from the destruction of the White House East Wing to build his “billionaire ballroom” to false claims of a $20 trillion economic boom, exposing how Trump's corruption has reached new heights amid a government shutdown. We reveal how farmers, federal workers, and ordinary Americans are paying the price for Trump's chaos while corporate donors and foreign allies cash in. Finally, we tackle ICE raids, propaganda at the Pentagon, and the DOJ's weaponization under Trump's control, showing just how fragile American institutions have become under Trump's obsession with power.

"The self-made man is a lie that we have taught people to keep them from complaining, to keep them from whining, to keep them from asking for better from their government, to keep them from asking for better from their employer." The two Steves – Hall and Grumbine – get together to dismantle the myth of the self-made man, exposing it as a centuries-old political weapon designed to disempower the working class. Professor Hall traces the roots of this "possessive individualism" back centuries, saying it is not a recent neoliberal invention but a deeply embedded cultural force with origins in changes in English law, specifically the spread of primogeniture (inheritance by the first-born son) in the 12th century. He goes on to explain the consequences of these historical events. The conversation reframes the American Dream as a form of mass gambling. Despite overwhelming evidence that most people fail, the system encourages a zero-sum mindset where we focus on the lottery-like winners. The Steves agree that facts alone won't break this spell. They discuss the need for a new emotionally compelling narrative that counters the right's fear-mongering. Steve Hall is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the University of Teesside. He is a polymath who has published in the fields of criminology, sociology, anthropology, history, economic history, political theory and philosophy. He is also co-author of Violent Night (Berg 2006, with Simon Winlow), Rethinking Social Exclusion (Sage 2013, with Simon Winlow), Riots and Political Protest (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow, James Treadwell and Daniel Briggs), Revitalizing Criminological Theory (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow), The Rise of the Right (with Simon Winlow and James Treadwell) and The Death of the Left (with Simon Winlow). He is co-editor of New Directions in Criminological Theory (Routledge 2012, with Simon Winlow). In 2017 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the international Extreme Anthropology Research Network at the University of Vienna. @ProfHall1955 on X

American intellectuals always seem to believe they are living through the end times. From the fascist poet Ezra Pound in the 1930s to the historian of fascism Timothy Snyder today, they flee America in despair. In Seekers and Partisans,, Boston University historian David Mayers tells the story of these exiled thinkers between 1935 and 1941 — what he calls “the crisis years.” But crisis… what crisis? Compared to Germany, Russia, or even Western Europe, America's troubles were relatively modest. So is history repeating itself nearly a century later? Are today's “Trumpagies” — intellectuals disillusioned with Trump's America — the second coming of Ezra Pound and his fellow seekers and partisans of the interwar years?1. History doesn't repeat — but it rhymes.Mayers argues that the wave of “Trumpagies” today — intellectuals leaving America out of despair — echoes but doesn't duplicate the 1930s exodus. Americans have long fled home in search of moral or political clarity abroad, though their motives shift with each crisis.2. The 1930s “crisis years” were more imagined than real.While Mayers' book Seekers and Partisans frames 1935–1941 as “the crisis years,” he notes that America's troubles then were mild compared to the totalitarian catastrophes of Europe. The panic, he suggests, often existed more in the minds of intellectuals than in the republic itself.3. Idealism and delusion often go hand in hand.Figures like Ezra Pound, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Anna Louise Strong reveal how moral passion can curdle into political blindness — from fascist sympathies to uncritical faith in communism or empire. Smart people, Mayers observes, can “get things dreadfully wrong.”4. The duty isn't to flee — it's to stay.Asked what lessons apply to Trump-era exiles, Mayers insists the responsible act is not flight but persistence: to “stay here and salvage the situation.” The illusion, he says, is that “things are all that brilliant elsewhere.”5. The American Dream includes its disillusionments.From the 1930s “seekers and partisans” to today's disenchanted academics, the impulse to escape America reveals as much about its promise as its failures. The intellectual's panic, Mayers suggests, is part of America's enduring struggle to understand itself.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Gregory Nava's "Selena" is a good biography-genre film about the life of Tejana musician/songwriter Selena Quintanilla-Pérez famously played by Jennifer Lopez. This film showcases the chase of the American Dream that we all strive for. Selena's life was practically a movie in itself - there highs and lows of her personal life and the life of a singer touring across America, trying to make it with her family. There are moments of melodrama, thriller, comedy, and romance of course. I dig the film for the way Nava directed it. He brought out Selena to life and chose the direction of the film to be a portrait of an American family - the very one that put their lives on the line for success and happiness. It came true but a price was paid. I dig the cinematography of the film. You look at the film and it doesn't look like a Hollywood film, it looks natural and appeasing to the eye. A lot of attention to detail in all kinds of aspects of the film from wardrobe to set design. I want to give a great highlighted mention to Edward James Olmos who stars as Selena' father, Abraham. Give the Oscar to Olmos. The man portrayed an American father with values that go beyond American and Olmos gave a great performance of that. I would see the film again just to see the way Olmos embodied Abraham.Three and a half out of four tokes.

On this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Chris Salcedo, host of The Chris Salcedo Show and author of The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino: A New American Revolution. Together they examine how millions of Hispanic Americans are rejecting the Left's identity politics and embracing faith, family, freedom, and the Constitution. This episode explores how Latino voters are shifting the political balance, why Democrats are losing their hold on this key demographic, and how this movement represents a powerful cultural and spiritual awakening across America. Episode Highlights: Chris Salcedo breaks down the movement of Hispanic Americans rejecting the Left's narrative and proudly standing for conservative values rooted in faith, family, and freedom. We explore how Democrats' reliance on racial identity politics has backfired as Latinos reject being used as political pawns, and instead, embrace individual liberty and the American Dream. From border security to economic opportunity, Latino voters demand accountability, reject socialism, and want to restore constitutional principles in America.

Raj Goyle is running for Comptroller of New York state, and he wants your support. He's got mine because I think Raj is what America is all about. A first-generation Indian-American, Duke undergrad and Harvard Law grad, Raj was the co-founder of Bodhala, a legal spend analytics and management platform which he and team sold to Onit. As the leader of Phone Free New York, Raj led a bi-partisan effort to get phones out of the classroom across New York state. And now he wants to take his immense talent and experience to Albany for the most important position (Comptroller!) you've never thought about. As you'll hear, there's plenty that Raj and I disagree about. But he's the kind of person we need more of in government: a smart, driven leader who wants to make government work for citizens. Among lots of other things, Raj and I discuss: -Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayoral candidate whom Raj supports and I DO NOT -What a comptroller does -Money, happiness, and public service -What it was like for his parents–both doctors–to emigrate to the U.S. -How Jimmy Carter helped shaped his belief in ethical capitalism and an accountable government AI's impact on the economy and what we can do about it ✍️Please rate my podcast (https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod) ✍️

Today, Tom is joined by Congressman Ro Khanna for a deeply candid and wide-ranging conversation about the true state of the American Dream, the forces shaping today's economy, and what it will actually take to create a future where all Americans can thrive. Together, Tom and Ro dig into the causes and consequences of the government shutdown, the ever-expanding federal deficit, and the policies driving America's growing wealth inequality. With raw honesty, they debate the value—and risks—of wealth taxes, deficit spending, and the proper role of government in healthcare, education, and housing. Ro brings a unique perspective as a son of immigrants and representative of Silicon Valley, advocating for what he calls “economic patriotism” and laying out a detailed plan to reduce the national debt while investing in American families. Tom, meanwhile, challenges the idea that more spending guarantees better outcomes and presses Ro on the importance of results, personal freedom, and market-driven solutions. This episode is more than a political debate—it's an exploration of values, results, and what it means to believe in America's promise. Stay tuned as Tom and Ro grapple with big questions about policy, prosperity, and the urgent need to pull the country back to the middle, finding common ground in a time of division.

In this episode, I'm laying out the four critical parts of America's decline, shedding light on the real drivers behind the chaos, and sharing the practical strategies you need to protect yourself and thrive no matter what comes next. If you've ever felt hopeless about the future or wondered if the American Dream is still alive, this episode is for you. You're going to walk away from this episode with a clear understanding of the problems we're facing, the historical patterns at play, and the actionable steps you can take to build resilience in your own life—even if the government keeps playing with fire. Trust me, this is one you cannot afford to miss.
