Podcasts about American exceptionalism

Today's show begins with Marketing Mars. Zara Zimbardo deconstructs the mythologies of American Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny as they apply to settler colonialism in space, and the billionaire tech bro infatuation with our closest planetary neighbor, Mars. Looking through several analytical frames, Zimbardo debunks any notion that there is a Planet B to escape to, remarking, “we're encouraged to believe that human ingenuity and industry can turn uninhabitable Mars into a habitable Earth. This fantasy is a distraction from the reality that Earth is being rapidly turned into Mars.” Then, we are rejoined by investigative journalist Peter Byrne. We look at his latest installments for Military AI Watch, including the Stargate Fiasco, how World War 3 will be fought inside data centers, and his most recent, AI Battle Space: Weaponizing the 5G Internet of Things. GUESTS: Zara Zimbardo coined the neologism Marsification in collaboration with the Bureau of Linguistical Reality, and co-created the concept album audio artwork Marsification: A Tale of Planetary Grief. She is an Interdisciplinary Studies faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Zara is a member of the curriculum design and facilitation team of Partners for Collaborative Change, with a focus on the interdependence of social justice and the environment, and community-driven climate resilience planning. Peter Byrne is an award-winning investigative reporter and science writer, author of the ongoing series for Project Censored, Military AI Watch.   The post Billionaire fantasies of colonizing Mars / Pentagon going all-in on AI appeared first on KPFA.

Were the Puritans America's first cult? Our guest this week makes a compelling case for yes. Jane Borden is a journalist and the author of Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, she joins us to unpack how Puritan beliefs—think apocalypse prepping, chosen nation syndrome, and the worship of wealth—laid the groundwork for the kind of culty thinking that still thrives in America today. We dig into the legacy of American exceptionalism, the allure of authoritarian leaders, and the ways our pop culture heroes reflect Puritan values more than we realize. Jane also walks us through the tragic case of the Love Has Won cult and explains how power warps empathy, especially when paired with a doomsday mindset. It's a wild ride through history, psychology, and politics, with heavy cult undertones. Check out Jane's book Cults Like Us and more of her work at janeborden.com, and stay tuned for Part 2 next week.

Is a summer swoon looming in the stock market for 2025? Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff explore the historical performance of the S&P 500 and major sectors during the summer months—June through August, and examine whether investors should brace for a seasonal pullback, looking at historical June-to-August returns and volatility trends, what typically drives a summer slowdown in stocks, and sector-by-sector analysis: What holds up best in weak seasonal periods? How do global macroeconomic conditions and slowing growth shape investor behavior? Lance and Danny also discuss how markets listen and absorb news...and adapt. The US is NOT going broke; Lance again discusses the economic benefits of needful government spending on infrastructure projects and the multiplier effect.

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, Josh, Ryan, and Tom tackle four topics. We start with a discussion of Elon Musk leaving Washington DC, something Ryan partially predicted in November. We explore why and what it means. We then do some rapid fire questions on Biden's cancer diagnosis and Ukraine's sneak attack inside Russia. After that, we discuss whether America is exceptional, particularly as relates to its culture. We all agree that Americans are not morally or biologically superior to anyone else and have no greater moral worth, but Josh is insistent that American culture is superior, Tom seems to lean that way, and Ryan is skeptical.

Is America's global leadership really fading? Lance Roberts & Jonathan Penn reveal the truth behind the “decline of American exceptionalism” narrative, and why the U.S. continues to lead in economic strength, innovation, and global influence. Today's show also features several bonus elements, including a recap of Mrs. Robert's trip to the Vegas Bitcoin Expo and convention robots; an exposition on the alleged death of American Exceptionalism, and a follow-up to the story of Mrs. Roberts' instant pickle recipe. Lance & Jonathan opine with chatroom participants about their first PC's, and Jonathan critiques a ChatGPT-created SWAN Portfolio. Parents have apparently failed an entire generation, if a survey of Google search terms is to be believed; Lance and Jonathan expose homeowner "wilding" as reason enough for HOA's, and Lance closes with the promise of opportunity. And amore focused show tomorrow.

he Dollar has been under s tremndous amount of pressure, which is enticing some investors to move assets into other currencies. As Dollar has declined we've seen a relative increase in Emerging Markets and International Stocks. The narrative now is that the decline in the Dollar is a decline in American Exceptionalism, so money must move away from US stocks. Be very careful with that notion: A longer view of Emerging Markets and International's will show those asset classes have still not quite made up for losses over the past 5-years. And an impartial look at where economic growth is going to occur in the future shows it's not going to be in Europe or emercing countries. They will benefit from a strong US market to come, but they're not going to be the drivers of innovation and growth. Another long-term view of the Dollar's performance reveals that it is now higher than it was ten-years ago.  Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video of this report here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5p7sa_q0rI&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Register for our next live webinar, "Financial Independence Candid Coffee," June 28, 2025: https://streamyard.com/watch/BUr4UuRVt6Uj ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #AmericanExceptionalism #Dollar #EmergingMarkets #InternationalMarkets #ForeignCurrency #MoneyFlows #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA #200DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

Happy Mothers Day Weekend! Who will celebrate the holiday of Mothers day, and how can progressives celebrate if they can't call a mother...a mom?  President Trump announces new plan for self deportations of illegal migrants. Discussion of due process for illegal criminals, American rights, and American exceptionalism.  Is it time to end the Patriot Act?

After President Trump issued his wide-sweeping tariffs, the media was quick to say that America would pay major economic consequences, knocking the U.S. from its top spot and “creating a new world order.” Charles says American exceptionalism isn't just a fad. He speaks with Martin Capital Founder & CEO Rod Martin about how the President's tariffs and trade deals are focused on keeping America's economy strong in the long run.

   While the media tried to tell America that president Trump is the least popular commander in chief ever, Trump was taking a victory lap with an incredible speech in Michigan.  It was a total takedown of globalists, a boost for working folks and a complete tribute to American Exceptionalism.  And, you probably laughed your tail off he was so funny.    We've learned more disturbing details about firefighter Graham Hoffman's death this weekend at the hands of a mad woman in his ambulance.  Also, a son in Grain Valley is looking at years and years in prison for being the worst son on earth.    That viral video of the speed boat crashing in Arizona gets even more interesting.  They won the race... and.... the team is from KC.  We have the details.    The Royals win another low scoring game, 3-1 over the Rays.  It's never comfortable or easy with this light hitting team... but maybe we are missing the big picture.    The Chiefs make commitments to two young defensive starts, a former tight end was right all along about Shedeur Sanders and a writer that puts out a gripe list focuses on places he hates leaving tips.

Last weekend, I neglected to finish my Notes on the Week Ahead as I got caught up in watching the Masters. In truth, it was mostly a battle between Rory McIlroy's emotions, which produced two double-bogeys in his final round, and his exceptional skill, which propelled his second playoff shot to within three feet of the hole. I was particularly happy to see his victory since he hails from the same island as myself, But I was also glad to see him win because, at 35, he is no longer in the first blush of youth. It is a sad truth that in athletics, as in life, no-one soars forever. Twenty years from now, McIlroy will probably still be a fine golfer – training and resilience should see to that. But he may no longer be exceptional.

As the dollar falls and yields climb, we're asking if this is the beginning of the end of American exceptionalism. Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yelling telling CNBC President Trump's trade policies are “completely chaotic” after the administration exempted some tech from the newest round of tariffs over the weekend, but then promised there would be different levies on the way. We look at the potential pains and gains, and where investors can ride out the ongoing uncertainty.

It's time for America to take back its education system and teach the coming generations in the proper way to go — meaning, let's leave the Marxism at home. American Exceptionalism relies on the idea that individual freedoms and rights come from a Creator; that each and every individual is born with God-given rights and liberties. And it also relies on the idea that America has done great good in the world.  But today's schools are teaching the opposite — that there is no God, that government is the provider of all and that America is the root of all that's gone wrong in the world. Colorado Christian University's president, Eric Hogue, talks about how to save education, save the minds of America's youth and ultimately, save America.

The rhetoric of “hopium” is failing as ecological overshoot deepens. “Hopium”, a colloquial term that is a blend of the words “hope” and “opium” (as though it were a drug), represents a faith in technological and market-based solutions to address our multiple reinforcing crises, despite evidence to the contrary. We're living in the long defeat and we must own and confront it with courage. Award-winning essayist, Pamela Swanigan, joins us. Highlights include: How children's literature is full of reverence for nature but children's literature analysis done in the academy is dominated by the perspective of human exceptionalism; The role that Judeo-Christianity has played in promoting the worldview of human exceptionalism while destroying the millennia-old biophilic and animistic belief systems; Why Pamela was astonished that she won the Berggruen Prize Essay Competition given the magical thinking of human exceptionalism and techno-solutionism embodied by the attendees; Social reformer and US Commissioner for the Bureau of Indian Affairs John Collier's concept of the 'long hope'- that indigenous cultures and their nature-sacralizing beliefs could help humanity survive after the collapse of techno-industrial civilization; Why the delusional and pervasive rhetoric of hope among social change advocates (such as Jane Goodall and David Suzuki) defies evidence, and why we must embrace JRR Tolkien's concept of the 'long defeat' in order to courageously fight against ecological destruction and social injustice. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/pamela-swanigan   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

Send us a textHard to believe that we're only something like six weeks into our new reality. The whole world is coming to the accurate realization that they cannon, and should not, depend on America. We are not a trustworthy people or nation. The whole concept of "American Exceptionalism" -- if it ever actually was a thing -- is now a punchline.  We discuss.  And Robert De Niro has some thoughts to close us out.Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton

The youth of America are still embracing socialism, according to recent reports. And that's becoming a real problem for American Exceptionalism. After all, if the roots of America's greatness are vested in the idea that individual rights and liberties come from God, and government only serves to protest and preserve those individual rights and liberties, then the opposite — the opposing — view of socialism, which serves the state interests first and foremost, is the big enemy. You can't have individualism and collectivism at the same time. The two are at odds. JT Young, author of "Unprecedented Assault," talks about socialism in America and advises how best to fight it.

What is American exceptionalism??Mark Weber, the director of the Institute for Historical Review explains the many problems of the concept of American exceptionalism.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano welcomes Cheryl Chumley to discuss her new book, God-Given or Bust: Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truths. As the battle between faith and government control intensifies, Cheryl explains how America is at a crossroads – either reclaim our God-given rights or succumb to Marxist ideology. They break down the erosion of religious liberty, the dangers of government-granted rights, and how President Trump's administration is working to reestablish faith at the center of American life. With policies aimed to combat secular overreach, Cheryl outlines how people can rise up, inject biblical values into society, and ensure that America remains a nation rooted in freedom, not authoritarianism. Episode Highlights: • The rise of Marxist ideology and how it threatens God-given rights in America. • President Trump's efforts to restore faith in government, including his White House faith-based initiatives. • The urgent need for Americans of faith to reclaim their role in shaping policy, culture, and the future of the country.

Everybody knows America's public school systems have fallen in ratings and standards these past years, and are failing to educate children in the ways they need to lead fruitful, prosperous lives. But it's not enough to be aware of the sad state of America's education systems. It's high time to do something about it. If we want an America that's led by people who understand the concept of American Exceptionalism, who recognize the roots of American Exceptionalism, and who know what it takes to win the war against American Exceptionalism -- and keep individual liberties intact for decades to come -- we need to educate the coming generation of leaders to love and cherish America. Nicholas Giordano, as a college professor and media figure, sees first hand how the dumbing down of America has led to a large population of ignoramuses. He has much to say about how to reverse this sad and sorry trend.

Did you hear President Donald Trump's inaugural speech? How about his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast? In both, Trump spoke openly, bluntly, boldly about the need for America to get back in the faith -- to reclaim the greatness of our country that comes from the Creator. And after four long years of having the previous administration push transgender rights, gay rights, and all things secular, all while hanging the rainbow flag from the White House -- having a president who actively and unabashedly embraces God is not only refreshing; it's a bright shiny ray of sunshine on America's future. God-given rights and liberties are the basic building blocks of American Exceptionalism. Thankfully, faith seems to be surging in America right now, and that all bodes well for the fate of American individualism. Pastor, author, podcaster and public speaker David Fiorazo discusses the crucial links between faith and liberty.

After President Trump's triumphant 2024 Presidential Election, actress, author, and speaker Janine Turner proclaims there is a new wave of American Exceptionalism.   She also notes that the President is tasked with protecting the Constitution, which protects Americans' safety, freedom, and civil liberties.  Learn more about your ad choices.
