Podcasts about american northeast

Episode 10 is here! Behold, the story of a genuine MEDICAL MIRACLE! Bode was a happy, able-bodied, athletic 14-year-old kid— until a completely random, totally freak accident left him with a nearly severed spinal cord, entirely unable to move from the neck down. His doctors warned him not to even HOPE to walk again, as literally no one in the history of medicine has recovered from such an injury. (Not one!!!) Somehow, against all possible odds, he not only began to recover— but he was suddenly recovering at an astonishingly rapid clip. Which bred hope, optimism, and determination. Which in turn sped the pace of his recovery even further. Until one day he was completely back to full health, walking and talking and LIVING as he always had, even getting back into his sport of choice (which, being that he is from the American Northeast, is of course lacrosse).

Who knew the American Northeast had such value for the American Midwest? Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get unexpectedly back in the saddle to discuss mainly the Tyler O'Neill trade to the Red Sox. The trade wasn't a surprise but what about the location? Is the return going to pan out? How does this impact the search for relievers? Plus there's the Rule 5 pick from the Red Sox, the disappointing draft lottery, and the official return of Yadier Molina. Enjoy the conversation! Learn more about your ad choices.

My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Today we are going to be discussing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green for a couple reasons. The first one being that she called out the Biden family, along with the President of the United States for being involved in. Trafficking, human trafficking to be exact. And on top of that, she came out and called out another individual during a congressional hearing for having extra marital affairs with a Chinese spy. So we will discuss that. We will also discuss the Planned Parenthood communications Director committing suicide after police launched a child porn investigation into him and raided his apartment building. So, uh, very sad, um, to hear that that is still going on in the world, but obviously, uh, in this case, glad to hear that, you know, at least there was maybe a little bit of justice there, uh, rather that than him still going around the world and conducting the terrible things that he was doing. So, After that, we will watch a quick clip by the Senator John Federman Fu fu fu fumbling over every single word that was an on a sheet of paper in front of him during a committee hearing. Um, after, you know, he came back from, I guess a medical leave for depression or something like that. So we'll talk about that. After that, we will jump into, uh, a recent video that surfaced surrounding the views. Uh, Patty Le Lap, Patty Lape. That sounds like a early character from like a Tom and Jerry film.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green called out the Biden Crime family for participating in human trafficking by soliciting prostitutes from the United States and abroad in countries like Russia and Ukraine. So let's go ahead and watch this video by Marjorie Taylor Green and see what she has to say about it. Then I will talk about it because this is something that we have talked about before with the Hunter Biden laptop. I have done a complete deep dive, two separate episodes into the laptop of Hunter Biden. So go back and find those in the archives. But this is wild to hear. Come out of a congresswoman's mouth. So here she is calling out the President of the United States for participating and paying for human trafficking. This is a legitimate. Congresswoman calling out the president of the United States for human trafficking. Now, the world was up in arms about Donald Trump saying something about grabbing her by the pussy. But here we are with substantial evidence that the president of the United States, the current standing president of the United States, participated in human trafficking, including, and, and this is probably what she's alluding here, but something that we talked about with the Hunter Biden laptop is that he asked his father to wire him money Hunter Biden did so that he could pay a rust. A Russian prostitute asked Joe Biden to wire him money. So along the same exact time that he was not able to pay this prostitute, he was texting about the fact that she was asking for this money, how much, it was like a ridiculous amount. He didn't have it. He asked his dad to wire him money so that he could pay this Russian prostitute. And here is Marjorie Taylor Green talking about it. Finally, um,  For after a congressional hearing, and here we go, reviewing the financial records in the Treasury. Uh, what I saw was over 2000 pages of jaw-dropping information. Uh, there's basically an enterprise wrapped around Joe Biden, uh, involving not only multiple family members, more than we thought there were, but other people as well. Uh, just a complete conglomerate of LLC shell companies where money was passing through from foreign countries, China, Ukraine, but many more countries than just those. There's a lot of information the American people deserve to know of the Biden family and the crimes they've been involved in. And the oversight committee has a much bigger investigation to do than we ever thought was possible. Um, I just saw evidence of human trafficking. Uh, this involved prostitutes not only from here in the United States, but foreign countries like Russia and Ukraine. Uh, this is, this is unbelievable that a president and a former vice president, uh, not only his son Hunter Biden, but many more family members extending past Hunter Biden and his immediate family. Uh, we're going to have to really get to work. This is an investigation that needs to be revealed to the American people. And not only do we have questions about Hunter Biden himself, but this is going to extend into developing a web of, uh, corruption, a web of fake companies, uh, that's going to reveal money that came in from many foreign countries and went directly into the personal bank accounts of the Biden family, where they have financially benefited directly from Joe Biden's, uh, seats of power. And we look forward to investigating and exposing for this, this, for the American people. And, um, and we'll see where it goes from there.  All right, so we know what she's talking about, right? At least everything that she talked about there, I'm familiar with from doing these deep dives. And if you aren't familiar, go back and listen to those podcasts surrounding the Hunter Biden laptops. But I'll give you a brief synopsis. So Hunter Biden left his laptop at a laptop repair shop. Very stupid of him, but obviously, uh, that does not pale in comparison to the stupid amount of stuff that he had on that laptop, including all of these pictures with, uh, these prostitutes. I mean, literally, this man did not have sex with a woman ever without documenting it with pictures of him with a crack pipe in his mouth. Um, but what she's talking about here is all, obviously all of the webs from Ukraine, from China, from Barisma, the energy companies that Hunter Biden was on the board of, um, through his shell companies that she's talking about, which she's alluding to there, which is. Uh, I'm trying to remember the name of it. Um, but it was, uh, some something Seneca, um, I forget the name. I, I'm, I'm sure I can look it up here, but, um, Seneca Capital or some shit like that. So he basically had this, these shell companies set up. This is where the 10% to the big man came from, right? All of this money that was being poured into him within the emails that were leaked from Hunter Biden's laptop, we know for sure at least com from the documentation that was shown to us, that he had a relationship with these energy companies, with companies in China, with companies in Ukraine, with companies all over the countries in the, in the worlds that we are both enemies and allies. With, that he was doing business dealings with paddling, the influence of his father. Our current sitting president of the United States, we know this during the time that he was vice President with Barack Obama, there is all of this paper trails. You can go and find every one of these emails that I'm talking about online today. Okay? Now what we'll find out here is if Marjorie Taylor Green is not. Brought to court and brought on by a unbelievable litigation case as a result of this singular tweet that she just made. We know everything that she just said is accurate. Then if Joe Biden does not immediately take her to court and bring her to the cleaners, right, but just wash her out with millions of dollars in a defamation lawsuit, we know 100% that what she said there is true, right? Why would the sitting president allow a congresswoman to come out and say these things without having a rebuttal? Well, the reason that Joe Biden has not come out and said anything about this is because he does not want to draw any more attention to this factual conversation that is going on. Right. We know absolutely based on the emails, we know absolutely. Based on the documentation that came out from Hunter Biden's laptop, that there he was pedaling the influence of his father for money. As long as the big guy means what we believe it means, which obviously why would they have a code word for the person that they're paying if they're doing legitimate business dealings. Right. Does that make any sense to you? Right, so, so the things that she's talking about we're familiar with, but to know now that Congress is having hearings over this, that there's an oversight committee looking through 2000 pages of financial documents, tracing back the payments through the Biden family and tracing it back to companies like Barisma, tracing it back to companies like. Uh, like all of the Chinese Shell corporations that she's alluding to here, all of the, all of the, the things that are going on within the Hunter Biden laptop, we know 100% that these things are true. If she's not brought to court for this, right, you are not going to have a congresswoman who has 3.6 million views on a video calling out the president of the United States for human trafficking without a defamation lawsuit. So if she is not brought to court for this, we know it's, it's obviously something that he is scared of having come out right now. You even go, uh, you even go through the documentation like, and you, and you look at some of the replies that they have here, and it's just like, it's very apparent that Twitter is obviously, uh, very. Overwhelmed with l Liberal, uh, accounts or bo accounts that are just like tar and feathering her from the, the replies that she has in here, but 3.6 million views on the congresswoman coming out and saying these things. Um, and, and somebody, the very, very first comment on this, so we'll see if this has any, I haven't read through this yet, but it says something is up. Uh, somebody commented on this from, uh, yesterday and says, uh, what the very top comment says was Jordan's, Jim Jordan is who this is talking about. It says Jordan's team just got exactly what they are looking for. All right. Now this has a, a fair amount of, uh, traction. So let's see what this is about. Um, but it says, house Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan believes that there's a seismic shift regarding allegations against Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Jordan suggests something is up with the probe because of new interest in the story by many of the same media outlets that initially dismissed reports of corruption evidence stemming from materials and emails taped from a laptop he reportedly abandoned at a computer store in Delaware in 2019. Right, exactly. What's your boys say in here? Well, what happened to that is you have had 51 intelligence officers sign a letter saying that Hunter Biden's story was Russian misinformation when it wasn't. And that changed. I think anyone can make a credible argument that, um, that altered the outcome of the election and we no longer have Donald Trump in the White House because he was doing that. He was pushing back on China for the first time, and now we have Joe Biden there and it's exactly the opposite direction Jordan said. So that's what happened. That's why this is all connected because the influence of big media, big tech, and big government in impacting our election. I think we said this last week. Sean, my colleagues had this in the committee for a few weeks ago, Matt Gaetz. He said, when will the, when will the FBI stay out of elections and let us, the people decide. In 2016, they went after Trump's campaign, 2018. It was a Mueller investigation. 2020, they suppressed the Hunter Biden story. 20 22 91 days before the midterm election, they raid his home, and now just two weeks ago, three days after he announces his 2024 race. They name a special council and it's not just anybody, it's Jack Smith and the record that he has of weaponizing the government to go after the people. Um, so now what I find to be interesting about this is that what he's talking about there is the F B i going to Facebook, right? We were recall this from the Mark Zuckerberg, Joe, or, uh, Joe Rogan interview. Mark Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan and said that the FBI came to all of the social media outlets and said that they should not run a story about Hunter Biden and that it was Russian misinformation, right? They said they were not gonna give you the specifics, but there's a story that's gonna come out about Hunter Biden and it's Russian disinformation. Now, what we found even more so from a, a different conversation that I don't exactly recall the, the, the source of, but I recall another podcast that came out from somebody that was on the inside that talked about the fact that they ran actual drills with social media. The FBI did. The FBI basically said we're going to have all of these large journalists, a part of these drills that we run. And one of the drills was Russian misinformation surrounding Hunter Biden. So they were priming the journalists, priming the outlets, priming the social media companies to know that when there was something that leaked about Hunter Biden, because they knew it was gonna come out, that it was going to be Russian disinformation. So this goes on to say from Jim Jordan, it sure looks like Joe Biden was involved. Jordan edited. So my, how this history has changed and now we find out these text messages and emails that linked lengthy entire family, not just Hunter and Joe, but also Uncle Joe's, brother James Biden is involved in this. Jordan also spoke over the weekend about how he believes Republican district attorneys will likely seek to prosecute Biden or members of his family after Manhattan. District Attorney Alvin Braggs weaponized prosecution of Donald Trump. One of my Republican cos has indicated that he has had some local das approach him and says that he's trying to do just that. Uh, he went on to say that I didn't wanna see what happened in the Manhattan DA's office, but now that we've crossed that line, that's where we're, it's likely to. Right. When you see these things happen to, to Donald Trump and that, that that's the problem that happens in all of these things, right? That's the problem with censorship online. That's the problem with weaponizing the da. That's the problem with weaponizing the fbi. That's the problem with going into a, a President's home address and searching his home for documents that you don't know whether or not they're there or whether or not it's prosecutable for the documents that he had there, because there was allegedly classified documents in Donald Trump's home, but there was also allegedly documents in Joe Biden's home. So the second that you start to cross these lines, right, the second everything becomes blurred, and the second you weaponize the f b I, now it's the pendulum always goes back, right? So, so as soon as, as soon as you are screaming from the rooftops for censorship against the opposite side of the political spectrum, you have to know eventually it's gonna come for you. Eventually it's going to come for something that you said it doesn't work one way. Right, and, and, and knowing the history of the United States and the way that our, our presidential elections work is that it's never democrat, democrat, democrat, democrat, democrat that gets elected. There's never 20 straight years where Democrat's getting elected. There's never 20 straight years where a Republican gets elected. So you have to know that the political, the, the pendulum is going to swing back the opposite direction. So when you go after Donald Trump, people are gonna go after Joe Biden and his family only. When we're talking about Joe Biden, it seems like there's so much legitimate, factual information that has come out that's prosecutable, that there's very likely that he and his family should actually go to jail compared to Donald Trump when the al they're doing is grasping for straws with the stormy Daniel. So I don't wanna bore you with the rest of this article, but there's just two more statements left. But obviously what he's alluding to and what Marjorie Taylor, Taylor Green is alluding to is that his uncle's involved with this, where he got payouts, hunter Biden got payouts right, all within that laptop situation, which it's unbelievable that it's taken three years for them to sift through that shit because I did it in a single podcast episode and knew exactly what was going on, including Hunter Biden, uh, engaging in some type of gross incestuous relationship, allegedly with his niece. Oh, and also, you know, fornicating with his dead brother's ex-wife. All of that. Right. Um, so Brad came under heavy fire in recent weeks since Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. The Manhattan grandeur jury indicted Trump on 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records related to the adult film Star Stormy Daniels. Yeah. Okay. But that's what you have to know. The pendulum always swings back. Right.  So here is the next statement that came from Marjorie Taylor Green. This was in a separate hearing, which I find to be quite hilarious. , but kind of a drop to mic moment from her. It's like if you had to have somebody on your team from politics, right? From, from the political sphere. Right now, I think Marjorie Taylor Green's kind of a boss right now. Uh, I'm sure there's,  , everybody wants to point to the Jewish space space lasers.  I, I've never actually seen that quote. , but every quote or or every video that I've seen of her talking, you know, her, her talking about the elites, her talking about, , all of the craziness that's been happening over the last several years does PR seems to be pretty on point. And this seems to be pretty on point for the mainstream media to, uh, try to deeg legitimize somebody who's in a position to actually change the narrative. So here is Marjorie Taylor Green. Being silenced in the committee after accusing Mayor, mayor, co mayor. Who the hell is this guy? Um, he's honorable mayor cause, um, but uh, of lying and that's the Hill article. So what I've found, I've talked about this already. The Hill has become biased, left wing media for a very long time. The Hill seemed to be straddling the line of center. And now ever since they got rid of their previous anchor who had anything to say that didn't align with their certain beliefs, all of the headlines seem to be pulling punches on the left and pushing and, and throwing haymakers at the right. The hill has been compromised if you used to get your information from the Hill, which, you know, I have. I've been watching videos from them for a, a very long time on this podcast, at least for the last year. There's been a shift in their journalism over the last, I would say, Five months, maybe ever since. Uh, I, I cannot recall the name of the anchor that they got rid of, but ever since that happened, it seems to me that there's been a fairly consistent amount of left wing headlines, um, on their part. So, uh, take this, the positioning of this article with a grain of salt, but know that it does come from the hill. All right. All right, so here is the article and it's titled Marjorie Taylor Green Silenced, um, during a hearing, um, after accusing mayors of lying, and she didn't accuse him of lying, Marjorie Taylor, Marjorie Taylor Green came out, and after this man tried to throw mud, she threw an entire, uh, hill of dirt on this man. She, she went after him. Um, so let's, let's watch this video and, and see what happened.   I gentleman yields, uh, I now recognize Mr. Swalwell from California for his five minutes Question Congress. Mr. Checker, do you wanna respond to the, can I take 20 seconds? Yep. To say that, okay. So it was actually with, uh, Swalwell. And what she does is Eric Swalwell and he thinks he's calling out Marjorie Taylor Green, Donald Trump and Jim Jordan over remarks about the F FBI saying, defund the F B I, which after what we've seen and the persecution of Donald Trump over what is seemingly a misdemeanor crime at best, even if he's guilty, which we're still yet to be seen, which is just silly to go after a former president for. But we've seen the weaponization of the F fbi, which led them to have some campaigning and some, you know, Marjorie Taylor Green, uh, talks about, you know, has this apparel where it's hats and t-shirts that is defund the F B I. So he brings up this big poster board, like he's in fifth grade with these, this hat and this shirt from Marjorie Taylor Green talking about defund the fbi. And here we go. They're doing nothing is an absolute falsehood. We are taking it to the cartels. Do I think that nearly 58,000 fentanyl overdose deaths in 2020 are quote unquote justifiable? This department has worked to stop the trafficking of narcotics since its very inception, and we both know very well that the drug problem in this country requires a two-pronged approach to address the supply and to address the demand. And this fight continues and we are taking it to the cartels in an unprecedented way. An operation Blue Lotus that we launch in the middle of March is one powerful example of what we are doing to only increase our effort to address this scourge that is killing so many Americans. But to say that we are doing nothing is unequivocally false. Uh, law enforcement officers are under tremendous invited, the author of this tweet, well, the gentleman yield, well, the gentleman yield. Well concerned about all here. He's people on this committee and their own anti-police rhetoric. This is a defund, the FBI campaign effort. Again, thousands of FBI agents who work hard every day to take bad guys off the streets. In fact, after the FBI rated Mar-a-Lago, someone armed the teeth, went to an FBI field office to try and kill FBI agents. I'm also concerned that the chairman of the Judiciary Committee invited a witness when you could have any person who walks this earth as a chairman of a committee to come in and testify. The chairman of the judiciary committee invited the author of this tweet. Well, the gentleman yield. Will the gentleman yield? Will the gentleman yield? Mr. Chairman? Mr. Chairman personal inquiry is interrupting. He's not yielding. The gentleman is rec recognized. So it concerns me that there is this anti-police rhetoric that's happening among some in the MAGA Republican party because. They vote against police funding that was included in the Covid relief package. They vote against police reform efforts that would put millions of dollars in community police officers on our street. They vote and are against the union protections that allow them to collectively bargain. And as we honor the hundreds of January 6th officers who, all right, so we're gonna have to find something different here because they only wanted to show one side of that conversation and not her response. So it's comical how difficult it is to navigate fucking YouTube to find basic Senate hearings. Um, let's see here. This is the Gentle Lady from Georgia, Ms. Green. That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, and everyone knows it, but thanks for I move to take our words down. Completely inappropriate. Yeah. Stand by just a second while we research the rule. Um, gimme just a second. Okay. All right, so let's go back. So, so we heard his remarks. Now let's hear her remarks because obviously they don't want you to hear this in secession. So here is Marjorie Taylor Green responding to Eric Sowell's res, uh, comments about the F B I situation. And here we. That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, and everyone knows it. But thanks for I move to take our words down. No, no. This how this man does not defend himself. He does not say that's not true. He doesn't say that he never did that. He says, I move to take her words down. That's inappropriate. Don't bring up my sexual relationship with a Chinese spy when I'm calling you out about your silly hats. I don't appreciate that was his response there. So let's, let's let this clip play on, but here we go. Completely inappropriate. Yes. Stand by just a second while we research the rule. Um, gimme just a second. Uh, gimme a second while I search the rule, um, whether or not we're going to allow Chinese spy sexual relationships within the committee here at this congressional hearing. Hold on one second. Let me check that rule. I, I wonder if there is a rule. Section four, uh, subsection three says that when somebody brings up a sexual relationship with the Chinese spy, that we must strike that from the record. Sir, I need to reclaim my, make sure I have my full five minutes. They're like, Hey, don't, don't, don't let her talk about me. In that Chinese spy. We had a great sexual relationship, but we don't need everybody talking about it. Everybody's just dead silent after her remark. That's hilarious. She just shut this whole place down. A motion has been made. The gentleman will, uh, the committee will suspend and the gentleman will state the words that he wishes, taken down everything that the gentle lady from Georgia has said, no, you need to be more specific Accusations of an affair with a Chinese spy. Those are engaging in personalities, and they sh those words should be taken down and the gentle lady should not be able to speak anymore in this hearing. That is, that is not an, the latter part of that is not an appropriate motion, but we will evaluate the striking of those words. So they, this man had to repeat the fact that he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy so that they would strike it. They needed him. I, I hope they didn't even need him to, to, to repeat that. And they just did it out of like sheer appreciation for what Marjorie Taylor Green just did there. Excuse me, sir, could you tell me one more time what you would like us to strike from the record? Is it the fact that you had sex with a Chinese spy? Because if it is, you need to say it out of your own mouth. You dirty man. Gimme just a second. No, I will not. Let's see, let's see. So Georgia, and asks if she would like to retract those words. No, I will not. Again, notice how this man doesn't argue against it, but he just wants them to strike it from the record as inappropriate. Well, maybe your relationship with the Chinese spy was inappropriate, sir. Not just the statement that came out of her mouth. Maybe it was just the action itself. Man, this is silent for a very long time. Nobody's talking at all. Uh, from day one, the gentleman, the gentleman from Mississippi is recognized. Um, I don't think there's any question. Uh, what the young lady said. I've been on this committee, uh, from day one. Uh, we've never had an accusation, uh, made of any member like that, and I'm appalled at it. We all ought to be embarrassed at it. We are better committed than, than what the general lady is trying to make of this committee. So I appeal the ruling of the chair. The ruling of the chair has been appealed. We will now gentleman moves.  Okay, there's the statement. She came out and called this man out for the things that he actually did, and sh they were mad about it. Um, so there you have it. Marjorie Taylor Green is an absolute boss. Um, this man was just mad that he got caught red handed having sex with a Chinese spy. Um, and during his marriage, Now there was an entire recorded hearing about it on a congressional committee where it was, you know, recorded for all to hear. So there is that. All right, now the next thing that we're gonna discuss, let's, let's go ahead and move on from that, that took a while. Um, but Planned Parenthood Communications Director committed suicide after police launched an investigation into him for participating in child pornography. Right? So they raided his apartment building, they'd launched an investigation into this communications director of Planned Parenthood, and as a result, this man took his own life. So, obviously it's sad, it's tragic when anybody takes their own life, but not generally when it's on the same day that somebody rates your house for child pornography. So this goes on to say that the former director of strategic communications at the Southern New England Branch of Planned Parenthood took his own life amid a child pornography investigation in Connecticut last week. Police have not named abortion advocate, Tim Yuu, 36 years old as the sub subject in the pro, but confirmed that the man who committed suicide in his apartment building was a subject, um, Juu, 36 years old, took his own life five days after an apparent botched attempt by police to take him into custody. Investigators broke down the door of his neighbor in New Haven, Connecticut and handcuffed her before realizing they had rated the wrong apartment. The person who died was definitely the suspect in the child pornography investigation and the person who committed SU suicide. New Haven Police Chief Carl Jacobson told. The New Haven Register was this man Urgo appeared to post regularly on social media until December of 2022. Pictures of his godchildren, family, friends, and work events lay bear his life in the months prior to his death. Now, what a coincidence that the very same man who delegitimizes the life of infants and babies and children within the womb of mothers also seemed to devalue that life later when they were actually children by taking advantage of them sexually through child pornography. Interesting how that subsection between far left liberalism, trans ideology, LGBTQ plus sae, whatever, however many letters you wanna put behind that. Always followed within the realm of what we're seeing with a high probability it when there's news articles coming out about, you know, these types of things that maybe they lie on that side of it. And here he is holding a pride flag, um, which again, there's no correlation to me between gay people, lesbians, and, uh, the ad taking advantage of children, but it seems to be a correlation between some of the other movements. Now, uh, ergo has been working as the marketing and communications director for the Long Wharf Theater and previously worked for Planned Parenthood.  That's all I'm gonna go into on that. But pretty wild. The police raid this apartment building and got the wrong house, put this woman in handcuffs, and just, a short period after that, this man ends up committing suicide. So, I'm sure he was very concerned about them getting the actual right building and, you know, We'll go from there. So, um, let's move on after that. Pretty terrible story overall, but she said that they literally came up the third to the third floor. If they had been watching him, they would have seen my son and I coming and going. She said, um, she had filed a complaint and said police tried to connect her with a mental health services, but she declined. I was planning on going down there and talking to him, talking about her neighbor before realizing he'd taken his own life. I just thought that maybe a small act of compassion might help. Yeah. Little did you know, right? Uh, safe to say that this man went to hell, some would say. Right. Took his own life. You know, hell is a good place. Somebody else said, thanks for saving us time and money.  So next up is John Federman, the Senator. And he is now coming back from a short time period where he was away for medical leave, for depression, and now here he is at his very first committee hearing seemingly, uh, losing his ability to read at a first grade level. Uh, when it comes to words that are sitting in front of. All right, so next up is John Federman, the senator who had his very first committee hearing, uh, after a short period of medical leave for depression. And here he is stumbling over a piece of paper in front of him that obviously somebody else wrote. What's a, what's, what I find to be more frustrating than almost anything about politics in politicians is that they don't even fake it anymore. They don't even pretend to be saying the words that they're speaking, right? That to have come up with these words that they're, they're, they're talking about, right? They don't even pretend to have written them themselves. They, even if they wanna put it on a piece of paper and write out your statements, that's fine, but this man. Write any of this either. Does Joe Biden when it comes to his speeches, none of it, all of it's a facade. All of it is puppeteering, all of it is somebody else writing these speeches and in these men and women of politics, just saying whatever is in front of them instead of what they actually feel. Which is more frustrating than anything. I don't, I don't know how a single person could back somebody like that, let alone somebody who can't even read the words that somebody else wrote for them. So that's what we see from John Federman here and Nutrition Specialty Crops, organics and Research to order Chairwoman Stephenk and Ranking Member Boozman. Thank you so much for coming. I thank you for your leadership on this committee and I look forward to working with you to pass a farm. A farm bill that works for small farm farmers, rural communities, and hungry Americans. I would also like to thank my raking member, Senator Braun, and I look forward to working closely with you. Snap is one of the most effective programs to fight hunger and pirate in the country. In my time and effort in iis as the mayor in I to lieutenant, this man couldn't even say in office in iis, and you hear the tonality coming out of his voice, right? He couldn't even say farm correctly. It's, it's almo. It's, it's so embarrassing that this man is representing our country, that is representing an entire state, an entire state, that this man is sitting here fumbling over his words that couldn't pass a first grade spelling bee. And he's sitting here insulting these people's ears by not even being able to read the words that are in front of him, like office and farm. Hey, governor, to now I have heard from Pennsylvanians about their support for a snap. Hunger is not a Republican or a Democrat issue. It's all of our issue that we have to take it on. We need to come together and stop playing political games with American. We need to come together and stop playing political games. Hunger is not an issue that is Republican or Democrat. It is an issue for all of us humans to tackle, to gather that the food Americans like Chair about glory. J from the now, the town of Northeast in Pennsylvania tells me that his victim was skimming, which was was somebody what? Fuck. Just came out of your mouth, sir. What? You cannot tell me that that was English. I wanna listen to that one more time. You can absolutely not tell me that. That right there was the English language to come together and stop playing political games. Listen to this, Americans access to food. Americans like Chair about Glory. J. From the now to the town of Northeast in Pennsylvania, Americans about town. AJ from the American Northeast about the pen. Pen. Pennsylvania tells me that his victim was skimming, which was when somebody stole money and he relied from its Snap, E b T. Mr. Joy is not the first Pennsylvanian I have heard this from. I fear he won't be the last. And I will work in this farm Bill to modernize snap to work to recipients in the 21st century. I look forward to from hearing from you your witness on this estrogen for assistance on the farm Bill and I will now turn to Senator Bra for any opening comments that he would like to make. Oh my God. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Thanks to our witnesses for being here today. Uh, this is the second Congress that I'm serving as a ranking member on this subcommittee. I'm excited to return to the subcommittee and I'm looking forward to working with Chairman Federer defined bipartisan solutions. Yeah, you are. We're meeting today as part of the committee's consideration of the 2023 Farm Bill, and the bill will cost us more than it ever has in history, and I wanna make. That if we're spending more, we do it efficiently. Earlier this year when Secretary Vilsack testified before the committee, this is like one of those situations where everybody knows what's going on. Like where you have the high school basketball team and they like all, let the kid with a mental handicap come out and pretend like he's playing against them and makes the basket, and then everybody runs into the court. Only it's politics and this man can't read. That's, that's exactly what's going on here. Right? Like you've seen the clips and, and obviously great that children do that in high school, but maybe we shouldn't have somebody.  Oh, he has depression. Oh, whatever. Right? But maybe you shouldn't be representing an entire state if you can't read basic first grade English. Maybe that's the case, right? If you can't sit in front of you and have a piece of paper and read off of it properly and convincingly, maybe I don't want you taking my tax hours and giving it to some stupid thing that you want to give it to, right? And you see just the, the, the vast difference between him and the person that follows up with him. Ready? I asked him as a former governor if he was concerned with runaway spending, and let's see what else we can get from this man. Bipartisan support, including betterman. Where you at with me really highlights ACEs are not incentivized to invest in the thank. Thank you Mr. Woodford. Chairman Federman, ranking member Braun and subcommittee members. Thank you for allowing me to testify today. Independent Senator, Senator Gillibrand for. Right. Emergency food assistance to low income individuals. And these individuals may not qualify for snap, but they might need additional support. Food banks like Phillip residents, and knowing personally they're the kind of quality of the work that you do. In my own state, they distribute 85% of TFA foods nationwide. As Americans struggle with high food costs, how have you been able to allow you to continue to provide food support? Yeah. Um, thank you for the question. Um, and the reality is that food banks like Phil Abundance our partners across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and really across the country, um, we, okay. Again, how embarrassing that we have somebody in a position of power in, in that was. Voted into office, right? And, and some people talked about the fact that this man basically got put into office because somebody else who was elected was actually dead when they were elected, which it wouldn't surprise me at this point because they probably would've still done a better job of reading this document in front of this man, even if they were incapacitated completely than what this man just tried to read off and insult our ears with. So again, I don't know when we got shifted from our timeline from a true reality into a comedy, but this is an exact example of what I'm talking about there, right there. There's no reason that anybody should be allowed in office if you cannot read a physical document in front of you. It's, it's, it's so silly to me that this is even has to become a conversation that maybe, maybe you should have to take a second grade reading test if you are put into a position of power in Congress, in Senate as a president. I dunno, maybe you should be able to read to the second grade level, but apparently that's not the case. All right, so let's go ahead and watch this clip here from The View.

This before, and I'm gonna get in trouble, but I have said this before and it's been in print. I don't know what the difference between our Christian right and the Taliban is. I have no idea what the difference is. You're not the only person who's said that. I don't, I just don't know what the difference is. Yeah. What's happening in this country right now in the name of religion is so dangerous. So let's address that this woman. Just said she doesn't know what the difference is be between Christianity and the Taliban. Well, let's make some comparisons here. The Taliban reduces femininity down to the point where they're incapable of doing anything on their own. The conservative Christians just don't even identify what A can't even tell you what a woman is, right? Not only that, but they diminish the value of, of what a human life is to where, you know, just like the Taliban, they can kill you at ease. The, the, the Christian right doesn't even want you to survive as un until you're born as a human. Right? Oh, wait, that's not the Christian, right? That is the Democrats. This woman just came out and said that the Christian right is the same as the Taliban. Well, if that's the case, I would appreciate my 80 billion of military equipment because I think almost every Christian conservative would want that too. But it, it would only come from somebody with this type of haircut where they would make such a stupid statement like that. So this Karen in overalls and a collared dress shirt decided to call anybody who's a Christian conservative. Anybody who believes that, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't have abortion, maybe religion should, should be acceptable in de general public is now a part of the Taliban because we shouldn't end human life. From my experience, the Taliban. Definitely about ending human life, right? The, the, the Taliban is definitely all about, it's, it's okay to stop women from having rights. It's okay to stop women from, I don't know, going to school, having jobs, showing their face, showing their hair, right? The, the liberal left doesn't even want to give a definition to what women are, let alone actually give them rights. So, you know, I think this woman is a little, a little misguided in her perception of what it actually means, um, of, of what she's even saying. And Whoopy Goldberg coming in and saying, you know, you're not the first person to say that. You're not the first person to say that. Mm. I haven't heard any other clips like this one. So maybe you are the first person stupid enough to say those words out of your mouth on public television. Um, and Whoopy Goldberg just propping her up and giving her backup on this statement should, should be all of the, the leverage, uh, that you need to know that everything that's come out of this woman's mouth ever is just full of shit and just divisive and wants to further divide the left and the right from any type of community. This before, and I'm gonna get in trouble, but I have said this before and it's been imprint. I don't know what the difference between our Christian right and the Taliban is. I have no idea what the difference is. You're not the only person who has said that. I don't. And the award for the most ridiculous thing ever goes to her. All right, so that is all I have for you guys today. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart so much. All right, and that is all I have for you today. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it. From the bottom of my heart. Have a wonderful week. I love ya. Leave a five star review, subscribe, anti elite.club Austin Adams dot.com.

"Our prayers for such an undertaking on behalf of God's people will be answered by whatever the results to this call might be."More than a century before David Koresh or the Branch Davidians became household names, the religious movements that led to their existence began growing out of the American Northeast. First came William Miller and the Millerites, a collapsed movement that ended up inspiring the Seventh-Day Adventists years later.In the early 20th century, an Adventist named Victor Houteff wrote a book titled The Shepherd's Rod, which he hoped would help reform the church. After being disfellowshipped for creating a "disloyal" and "divisive movement," Houteff ended up building his own church, the Davidians, nearby Waco, Texas...Research, writing, hosting, and production by Micheal WhelanLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerMusic Credits:Noisyfilter - "Repose"Acedis - "Illustrations"Mystery Mammal - "O Come O Come Emmanuel"Rest You Sleeping Giant - "Dead Waters"Graham Bole - "Gloci"Blue Dot Sessions - "Svela Tal"Percival Pembroke - "Music For Haunted Orbital Research Stations"

In local news, The Appalachian reports that the Orange Route closed Thursday and Old Bristol Road will not be used by Appalcart, Appalachian State's bus service, for the foreseeable future. The reasoning behind this is that there is a staffing shortage, as Appalcart is currently undergoing a major recruiting and training drive to find new bus operators. Many students who live off campus, like one Elle Brislin, a sophomore public relations major here at App State, stated that shutdowns like these, “...make it very challenging to plan on getting to school each day.” In state news, the community around a Charlotte principal came together to help her and her family bounce back from a fiery tragedy. After a blaze destroyed the two-story home of Shannon Hamilton, a principal at Long Creek Elementary School, those around her decided to lend a helping hand. The Charlotte Observer reports that with donations reaching nearly $12,000 from sources like GoFundMe and independent local campaigns, Hamilton and her family with two special needs children are grateful to the outpouring of support from her peers. Those looking to donate can find the Hamilton's GoFundMe page at: gofundme.com/supporting-our-leader-shannon-hamilton. In national news, New England took the brunt of hurricane force winds and heavy snowfall as a winter storm made landfall along the Eastern Coast. Areas in Maine, New York and Massachusetts reported some 100,000 residents losing power to their homes as snowfall blanketed power lines and roads with up to 21-inches of snow Saturday. The Wall Street Journal reports that, with temperatures expected to remain below zero across the American Northeast, sheets of ice are expected to continue to make travel difficult until later this week.

A girl, a horse, and a magical sword save a kingdom in Robin McKinley's young adult classic, "The Blue Sword" — a book beloved by women of all ages. "Hild" author Nikola Griffith explains why.  My name's Nicola Griffith. I am the author most recently of a novel called “Hild.” I'd like to recommend a book. If you haven't read it, then please pick up “The Blue Sword” by Robin McKinley. It is ostensibly for teenagers, but I think I was probably about 25 or so when I read it. And I have re-read it many times since, and it holds up. It's a wonderful first-person story about a woman called Angharad, but she calls herself Harry, and by the end of the book is known as Harry, Harimad-sol. She moves from a place called Home. Sometimes I think of it as an English place, and sometimes I think of it as American Northeast, but it's very stuffy. It has lots of etiquette rules. Basically, the Wild West or the Indian frontier. When I first read it, I was thinking in terms of the Raj, I was very English. I am very English. But now that I've lived in this country for a bit, I can see the parallels with settlers who moved out to the Western frontier. Anyway, there's lots of magic. There are swords and horses. It's sword and pony fiction with magic. I love it. It's a great book. I've just started reading it aloud. I just read the first three pages, which is why it's on my mind. And McKinley does this amazing job of taking us in to this teenager's head, her essential loneliness, her longing for a place to belong. And she does that really, really well. And then further on in the book, there are these wonderful scenes where Harry learns that she has this power. She can do prophecy. She can fight. She can control her horse. Essentially, she could beat everybody, except, of course, the king who she ends up marrying. Sorry for the spoiler. So it's romantical, but it doesn't follow some of the really tired tropes of old fashioned romance in the sense that the woman has to look at the floor and flirt. She's basically very angry with this man in the nicest possible way. And he's reluctant to use her in the way that his powers dictate that she be employed to help him in his goal, which is to keep everyone safe because of her magic. The Blue Sword is the novel about a young woman becoming herself. It's about a woman finding her place in the world. She is a woman, but she could just as well be a man. It's about a person learning to belong, about a person finding their feet. And that is a story for any age, for any era. —This author recommends— The Blue Sword (Newbery Honor Roll) —More from this author— Interview: Nicola Griffith on Lesbian Crime Writing—Interview: Meet a Medieval Warrior-Girl: Nicola Griffith's "Hild"

Water and diplomatic historian Dan MacFarlane has written a fascinating book on a fundamental debate in environmental history: What is a natural landscape? Fixing Niagara Falls: Environment, Energy, and Engineers at the World’s Most Famous Waterfall (UBC Press, 2020) argues that one of the world's most famous natural attractions is not wholly natural but is an engineered landscape. Though the falls have been altered, it's designers seemingly found a balance between preserving its wonder and utilizing its power, MacFarlane argues. The first people to record their reactions to the falls in North America were fascinated by its beauty and power. By the end of the nineteenth century, the falls had drawn the attention of both Canadian and American industrialist who saw in its majesty a great potential for energy generation. Since the falls is located on the border, it provoked conflict and negotiations between these two countries over how much water could be drawn upon by each. Utilizing the falls for power generation provoked another conflict over the extent to which power generation might hinder the natural beauty of this thriving tourist attraction. These two conflicts—one about power the other about natural appeal— would continue into the twenty-first century. The book unravels the details of these conflicts while at the same time drawing the readers' attention to the often unseen changes being made in, around, and behind the falls. Some of the most interesting parts of the book are those that explain technocrats' debates over, and explorations into, how water reduction might change the natural look of the falls. Exposing these engineered elements of Niagara encourages readers to reimagine this popular natural attraction, and others like it. Jason L.

Water and diplomatic historian Dan MacFarlane has written a fascinating book on a fundamental debate in environmental history: What is a natural landscape? Fixing Niagara Falls: Environment, Energy, and Engineers at the World’s Most Famous Waterfall (UBC Press, 2020) argues that one of the world's most famous natural attractions is not wholly natural but is an engineered landscape. Though the falls have been altered, it's designers seemingly found a balance between preserving its wonder and utilizing its power, MacFarlane argues. The first people to record their reactions to the falls in North America were fascinated by its beauty and power. By the end of the nineteenth century, the falls had drawn the attention of both Canadian and American industrialist who saw in its majesty a great potential for energy generation. Since the falls is located on the border, it provoked conflict and negotiations between these two countries over how much water could be drawn upon by each. Utilizing the falls for power generation provoked another conflict over the extent to which power generation might hinder the natural beauty of this thriving tourist attraction. These two conflicts—one about power the other about natural appeal— would continue into the twenty-first century. The book unravels the details of these conflicts while at the same time drawing the readers' attention to the often unseen changes being made in, around, and behind the falls. Some of the most interesting parts of the book are those that explain technocrats' debates over, and explorations into, how water reduction might change the natural look of the falls. Exposing these engineered elements of Niagara encourages readers to reimagine this popular natural attraction, and others like it. Jason L.

Old-growth forests captivate and inspire us. Walking through them can transport us to a time before human domination of the natural world. This is especially the case with old-growth forests in the eastern part of the United States, a region with a long history of profound human disturbances of ecological regimes. Beyond their role as inspiration, old growth serves important ecological functions regionally and globally. These forests also provide several practical services to humans. How do scientists define old-growth forests? How can non-experts identify old forests and understand their importance locally and globally? These are some of the topics covered in Ecology and Recovery of Eastern Old-Growth Forests (Island Press, 2018) an anthology edited by Andrew Barton and William Keeton. Ecology and Recovery of Eastern Old-Growth Forests (Island Press, 2018) is a perfect book for readers who want to learn the fundamentals of forest ecology and old growth in the east. Over thirty experts contributed to the book, writing chapters which range from the basics like defining and identifying old growth to more specialized subjects like the biological interactions below the forest floor. A large range of eastern forest types are covered, extending south from the boreal forest in central Canada to the bottomland hardwood forests and pine savannas of the American south. Those interested in human interactions with the forest through time will learn about Native American and Euro-American forestry. There are also chapters covering threats to old growth posed by invasive organisms. This is not exclusively a book about regional environments as the latter chapters of Ecology and Recovery explain how old growth can help mitigate ecological problems in the United States and globally. There are chapters on the services that old growth provides, from improving stream quality to storing carbon. The authors also explain how old growth can be conserved and how forests can be managed to promote old-growth structures and features. The range of topics covered in the book is impressive and its relevance in a time of unprecedented ecological change should be clear. Jason L. Newton is a visiting assistant professor of history at Cornell University.

George Perkins Marsh Prize winning environmental historian and geographer Joseph E. Taylor III's new book, Persistent Callings: Seasons of Work and Identity on the Oregon Coast (Oregon State University Press, 2019), takes an innovative approach to the history of fisheries and work in the Pacific Northwest. Focusing on the Nestucca river valley, Taylor shows how nature, culture, markets, and technology affected the "callings," or identities, of residents from pre-colonial times to the very recent past. The first chapter gives readers a sense of the Nestucca Native Americans who developed ceremonies that centered on the region's abundant diadromous salmon populations. After this chapter, the book leaps to the second half of the nineteenth century when settler-colonists exterminated and removed Indians and began farming. Taylor shifts attention away from itinerate wage workers as the primary source of labor in the Pacific Northwest and centers his analysis instead on the families who took to the ocean as one of a number of economic survival strategies. After 1927, fishing in Nestucca slowly transformed from a subsistence activity to a form of recreation for tourists. The tourist were incursions in Nestucca but also a source of revenue for locals. Using oral histories as evidence, Taylor spends a lot of time describing the minutia of fishing work; its physicality, technological stagnation, and its dangers. These details expose workers' connections to the landscape, connections which shaped their identities. The short book is a vital addition to environmental studies because of the way that Taylor seamlessly integrates environmental history into the history of one community. His method shows how and why environmental factors should be a part of all historical narratives. Jason L. Newton is a visiting assistant professor of history at Cornell University.

Taylor III's new book, Persistent Callings: Seasons of Work and Identity on the Oregon Coast (Oregon State University Press, 2019), takes an innovative approach to the history of fisheries and work in the Pacific Northwest. Focusing on the Nestucca river valley, Taylor shows how nature, culture, markets, and technology affected the "callings," or identities, of residents from pre-colonial times to the very recent past. The first chapter gives readers a sense of the Nestucca Native Americans who developed ceremonies that centered on the region's abundant diadromous salmon populations. After this chapter, the book leaps to the second half of the nineteenth century when settler-colonists exterminated and removed Indians and began farming. Taylor shifts attention away from itinerate wage workers as the primary source of labor in the Pacific Northwest and centers his analysis instead on the families who took to the ocean as one of a number of economic survival strategies. After 1927, fishing in Nestucca slowly transformed from a subsistence activity to a form of recreation for tourists. The tourist were incursions in Nestucca but also a source of revenue for locals. Using oral histories as evidence, Taylor spends a lot of time describing the minutia of fishing work; its physicality, technological stagnation, and its dangers. These details expose workers' connections to the landscape, connections which shaped their identities. The short book is a vital addition to environmental studies because of the way that Taylor seamlessly integrates environmental history into the history of one community. His method shows how and why environmental factors should be a part of all historical narratives. Jason L. Newton is a visiting assistant professor of history at Cornell University. His book manuscript, Cutover Capitalism: The Industrialization of the Northern Forest, 1850-1950, is a history of the changing types of labor performed by people, trees, and the landscape in the American Northeast as that area industrialized.

Saturday Morning Serial is a weekly bonus episode in which Jackson tells Jon and Monroe a true crime story. Though it is not explicit, we do discuss murder and other violent crimes. This episode may not be suitable for young listeners.Since 1997, hundreds of white, college-age men have vanished all around the American Northeast in mysterious drownings. Sure, their deaths could very likely have been the result of a sad accident. But what if something more sinister is afoot? Two NYPD detectives have a theory that a team of serial killers is responsible.

Award winning activist and researcher Raj Patel has teamed up with innovative environmental historian and historical geographer Jason W. Moore to produce an accessible book which provides historical explanations for the world ecological crises and the global crisis in capitalism. Using the framework of "cheapness," A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things: A Guide to Capitalism, Nature, and the Future of the Planet (University of California Press, 2017) takes the reader through the long history of the search for lower production costs, extending from European colonial conquests in the fifteenth century up to present agroindustrial systems. This quest for cheapness originated with European colonists' desire to separate Society—themselves—from Nature—everything else. All forms of "Nature" were categorized by colonist and capitalists so that they could be efficiently used for production. Human beings were often included in this contrived category of Nature. Colonized people, the indigenous, women, and brown people were considered akin to non-human nature. In the process of employing cheapness as a "strategy" across space and time, colonial and capitalist powers have devastated land, destroyed indigenous populations, and exploited workers. Resistance to cheapness is described in the book too, but in Moore and Patel's depiction of the modern world, this resistance seems insignificant compared to the power and momentum of the cheapness strategy. The refusal to pay the true costs of production eventually led to crises because nature was cheap, but never free; debts mounted. “The modern world happened” according to Patel and Moore, “because externalities struck back” (21). Global warming is the best example of these debts but the book exposes many others. To engage as broad of an audience as possible, the book is structured in a simple way making it useful for researchers, a general audience, and as a teaching text. The introduction begins with the example of the chicken nugget, the production of which exemplifies all seven "cheap things." The chapter then gives an outline of the argument. After the introduction, the reader is walked through relatively self-contained chapters on each of the seven cheap things: cheap nature, cheap money, cheap work, cheap care, cheap food, cheap energy, and cheap lives. Any chapter can be read in isolation as an example of how the concept of cheapness works in different ecological and economic realms but together they give the reader an understanding of the encompassing and destructive power of "cheapness." As Patel explains in the interview, the book was designed to engage an "intersectional" activist audience. Those interested in indigenous rights, class, race, and ecological issues will all find something interesting, and likely infuriating, in this book. Readers might be disappointed by the brevity of the conclusion however, which attempts to offer some solutions to current global crises. Here Patel and Moore lay out the basic structure for a "reparations ecology" that calls for profound changes, not simply in world economic and political relations, but in humans' attitude towards nature, both human and non-human forms. Hopefully Patel and Moore will elaborate further on the important concept of reparations ecology in their future works. In the meantime, anyone interested in the origins of the most pressing problems facing humanity today must give Patel and Moore's thesis serious consideration. Jason L.

This is the fourteenth episode of "Talking with Authors" by HEC Media and HEC Books. We're a program dedicated to speaking with some of the best selling authors around, covering many different genres.Today, our author is a Newberry award winning writer Erin Entrada Kelly. We spoke with her at the HEC Media studios as she was on her summer book tour in September of 2019 when her book “Lalani of the Distant Sea” was hot off the presses.This New York Times Best Selling children’s book writer was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana and started off her career as a journalist in The South. She then relocated to the American Northeast and became an author in 2015 and only 2 years later in 2017, she won the Newberry award for her third book, “Hello, Universe”. Writing for and being able to relate to middle schoolers and young people is clearly a passion for Erin Entrada Kelly. And she knows that being able to provide a sense of belonging in book form for her audience is very important. And in the book we’ll learn about and talk about today, “Lalani of the Distant Sea”, we’ll hear about the trials of adolescent girls and boys through a lens of fantasy. That and how this award winning Filipino American writer’s career came to be and how she plays her role in the world. New York Times Best Selling and Newberry Award winning author Erin Entrada Kelly on this episode of Talking with Authors from HEC Media and HEC Books.Our host and interviewer this time is Brenda Madden.HEC Media is a production company out of St. Louis, Missouri. With the help of independent bookstore Left Bank Books and St. Louis County Library, we are able to sit down with these amazing writers and thought leaders to discuss their work, their inspiration, and what makes them special.

Timothy LeCain is an award-winning environmental historian whose past work has focused on the connections between open-pit copper mines, technology, and the natural world. LeCain's newest book The Matter of History: How Things Create the Past (Cambridge University Press, 2017) presents a path-breaking approach to the study of the environment and history. In it LeCain argues that humans are inseparable from the material world around them. Living and non-living "things" not only deserve their own histories, according to LeCain, but the history of humans cannot be told without recognition of the autonomy of material things. LeCain's neo-materialist agenda merges S.T.S. and environmental history, and calls for scholars to consider writing histories of the world in toto. More than just explaining his approach, LeCain employs it in three case studies, one on longhorn cattle in the American west, another on Japanese silkworms, and finally a history of the copper atom. Viewing the material world as inseparable from humans leads LeCain to challenge the idea of the Anthropocene, suggesting that the term gives humans too much credit. People, according to LeCain can do little without the material things that surround them. Current climatic changes were not solely caused by "anthropo," or humans, but the cause lies with humans working with material things like carbon. Moreover humans cannot solve the problem of climate change without utilizing the unique material properties of the living and non-living world in which they are completely and perpetually embedded within. The Matter of History is an important work for the present moment and is sure to shape future discourse on humans and the environment. Jason L. Newton is a visiting assistant professor of history at Cornell University. His book manuscript, "Cutover Capitalism: The Industrialization of the Northern Forest, 1850-1950," is a history of the changing types of labor performed by people, trees, and the landscape in the American Northeast as that area industrialized. He has also published on nature, race, and immigration. He teaches classes on labor and the environment and tweets @Jason_L_Newton.

Living and non-living "things" not only deserve their own histories, according to LeCain, but the history of humans cannot be told without recognition of the autonomy of material things. LeCain’s neo-materialist agenda merges S.T.S. and environmental history, and calls for scholars to consider writing histories of the world in toto. More than just explaining his approach, LeCain employs it in three case studies, one on longhorn cattle in the American west, another on Japanese silkworms, and finally a history of the copper atom. Viewing the material world as inseparable from humans leads LeCain to challenge the idea of the Anthropocene, suggesting that the term gives humans too much credit. People, according to LeCain can do little without the material things that surround them. Current climatic changes were not solely caused by "anthropo," or humans, but the cause lies with humans working with material things like carbon. Moreover humans cannot solve the problem of climate change without utilizing the unique material properties of the living and non-living world in which they are completely and perpetually embedded within. The Matter of History is an important work for the present moment and is sure to shape future discourse on humans and the environment. Jason L. Newton is a visiting assistant professor of history at Cornell University. His book manuscript, "Cutover Capitalism: The Industrialization of the Northern Forest, 1850-1950," is a history of the changing types of labor performed by people, trees, and the landscape in the American Northeast as that area industrialized.

The western United States is experiencing longer-burning, wider ranging, and more deadly fires now than at any point in the past century. The attitude towards fire and fire management in the rural West and Washington, however, has changed little in the last 100 years: Rather than letting it burn, as part of a natural process, firefighters must risk their lives to extinguish it; requiring the use of fire-retardant materials in homebuilding, tree-thinning on at-risk property, or restricting where homes can be built is dismissed as “big government.” In his August cover story “Combustion Engines,” Richard Manning reports from the fires that swept through Montana's Lolo National Forest last summer and reveals the social and political obstacles to protecting American communities from fire. In this episode, Manning, a longtime Montana resident and frequent contributor to Harper's, joined Web Editor Violet Lucca to discuss how we must all adapt to better live with new normal. “The West is just the vanguard,” says Manning. Soon other parts of the world, including the American Northeast, will be facing fire too. Read Manning's article: https://harpers.org/archive/2018/08/lolo-peak-rice-ridge-mega-fires/

"I left The Cooper Union completely kind of broken just because of the conversations that I was having in terms of things like race, in terms of things like who gets to make art…and I ended up working construction for a year." Claudio Nolasco sits down with Kai and Michael at Patrice Helmar's home in the Bronx just before a Camera and Supper Club presentation. Claudio speaks about his life in terms of transitions. The challenges he faced as he transitioned from a boy growing up in the Dominican Republic to boy living in a gang filled neighborhood in Brooklyn, the identity crisis he had as he studied to become an artist and what it meant to photograph his own people and culture in an authentic way, and the adjustments he had to make to his work and his goals as he moved from the American Northeast to the American Southwest and back again.

This 139th episode is titled Evangementalism,We've spent a couple of episodes laying out the genesis of Theological Liberalism, and concluded the last episode with a brief look at the conservative reaction to it in what's been called Evangelicalism. Evangelicalism was one of the most important movements of the 20th C. The label comes from that which lies at the center of the movement, devotion to an orthodox and traditional understanding of the Evangel, that is, the Christian Gospel - the Good News of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.While Evangelicalism is used today mainly to describe the theological movement that came about as a reaction to Protestant theological liberalism, the term can be applied all the way back to the 1st C believers who referred to themselves as “People of the Gospel,” the Evangel. The term was resurrected by Reformers to call themselves “evangelicals” before identifying as Protestants or any of the other labels used for protestant denominations today.The modern flavor of Evangelicalism came about as a merging of European Pietism and revivals among Methodists in England. We might even locate the origin of modern Evangelicalism in the First Great Awakening of the mid-18th C. Its midwives were people like Whitefield, Tennent, Freylinghuysen, and of course Jonathan Edwards.Since major stress of all these was the need for a conversion experience and spiritual new birth, revivalism and an emphasis on the task of evangelism have been front and center in Evangelicalism.As we've seen in a past episode, the First Great Awakening was followed a century later by the Second which began in the United States and spread to Europe, then the rest of the world and had a huge impact on how Christians viewed their Faith. What's remarkable about the Second Great Awakening, is that it came at a time when many church leaders lamented the low state of the Church in Western Civilization. Christianity's enemies gleefully wrote its obituary. Theological Liberalism helped to push the Faith toward an early grave. But the Second Great Awakening literally shook North American and Europe to their core. A wave of missionaries went out across the globe as a result, spreading the Faith to places no church had existed for hundreds of years, and in some cases, ever before.In newly settled regions on the American frontier, Evangelicalism was carried out in week-long “camp meetings.” Think of a modern concert with multiple bands. Camp meetings were like that, except in place of bands playing music were preachers passionately preaching the Gospel. Might not sound too appealing to our modern sensibilities, but the lonely pioneers of the frontier turned out in large crowds. They'd been too busy building homesteads to consider constructing frontier churches. But now they returned home to do that very thing.One of the largest of these camp meetings took place at Cane Ridge in Kentucky in August 1801. Upwards of 20,000 gathered to listen to Protestant preachers of all stripes.Methodist minister Francis Asbury was just one of several circuit-riders who carried the Gospel all over the frontier. Both Baptists and Methodists worked tirelessly to bring the Gospel to blacks. But the fierce racism of the time refused to integrate congregations. Separate churches were plated for black congregations, of which there were many. In the early 19th C, Richard Allen left the Methodist Church to found the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In the US, it wasn't long before Evangelical Baptists and Methodists outnumbered older denominations of Episcopalians and Presbyterians, groups where theological liberalism had infiltrated.Charles Finney was an attorney-turned-revivalist who transferred the excitement and energy of the rural camp-meetings to the urban centers of the American Northeast. An innovator, Finney encouraged the newly converted to share the story of how they came to the Faith – called ‘giving your testimony.' He set what he called an “anxious bench” near the front of rooms where he spoke as a place where those who wanted prayer or to make a profession of faith in Christ could sit. That eventually turned into the modern ‘altar call' that's a standard fixture of many Evangelical churches today.By the start of the American Civil War in the mid-19th C, Evangelicalism was the predominant religious position of the American people. In an address delivered 1873, Rev. Theodore Woolsey, one-time president of Yale could say, without the least bit of controversy; “The vast majority of people believe in Christ and the Gospel. Christian influences are universal. Our civilization and intellectual culture are built on that foundation.”While there are many brands, flavors, and emphases inside modern Evangelicalism, it's safe to characterize an Evangelical as someone who holds to several core beliefs: those being à1)  The authority and sufficiency of Scripture2)  The uniqueness of salvation through the cross of Jesus Christ,3)  The need for personal conversion4)  And the urgency of evangelismFurther refining of Evangelicalism took place when there was a debate over the first of its core doctrines – the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. This is where Fundamentalism diverged from Evangelicalism. The other three core distinctives of Evangelicalism all rest on the authority and sufficiently of the Bible. And while Evangelicalism began as a reaction to theological liberalism, some of the ideas of that liberalism crept into some Evangelical's view of Scripture.You see, it's one thing to say Scripture is authoritative and sufficient and another to then say the entire Bible is Scripture.  Is the Bible God's Word, or does it just contain God's Word? Do we need scholars and those properly educated to tell us what is in fact Scripture and what's filler? Are the actual WORDS God's Words, or do the words need to be taken together collectively so that it's not the words but the meaning they convey that makes for God's authoritative message?Some Evangelical leaders noticed their peers were moving to a position that said the Bible wasn't so much God's Word as it contained God's Message. While they weren't as extreme as the Liberal Theologians, they effectively ended up in the same place. This debate goes on in the Evangelical church today and continues to be the source of much unrest.Conservative Evangelicals started linking the authority of Scripture to the doctrine of inerrancy; that is, belief the Bible's original writings contained no errors, and that because of the laborious process of transmission of the texts over time, while we can't say our modern translations are perfect or without any error, they are virtually inerrant; they are trustworthy versions of the originals.At the dawn of the 20th C, Princeton Theological Seminary became the epicenter of this debate as a leading defender of the authority of the Bible. It had long been an advocate for the infallibility of Scripture under such luminaries as Archibald Alexander, Charles Hodge, his son, AA Hodge, and BB Warfield. In a seminal essay on the doctrine of Inspiration in the Princeton Review, AA Hodge and BB Warfield defined inspiration as producing the “absolute infallibility” of Scripture. They said the autographs, the original writings of the Bible were free from error, not just in regard to theological matters, but in contradiction to what theological liberalism claimed, they were without error in regard to ALL their assertions, including those touching science and history.The theological liberalism coming from Europe had a mixed reception in the US at the outset of the 20th C. At first, most churches remained conservative and blissfully unaware of the slow sea-change taking place in the intellectual centers of American universities and seminaries. Battle lines were drawn between liberals and conservatives who were branded with a new label = Fundamentalists. The battle they carried out in the hallowed halls of academia soon spilled over into the pews. It was referred to as the contest between modernists and fundamentalists.While modernists embraced a host of varying ideologies, they shared two presuppositions.First, they urged, Christianity must be reframed in light of new insights; meaning the tenants of Protestant Liberalism.Second, the Faith had to be liberated from the cultural encrustations of traditionalism that had obscured the REAL MEANING of the Bible. What that effectively meant was that ALL and ANY traditional beliefs about what the Bible said was no longer valid. It was a knee-jerk rejection of conservatism.Though the term Fundamentalism wasn't coined until 1920, it flowed from the 1910 publication The Fundamentals. It was a synthesis of different conservative Protestants who united to battle the Modernists who seemed to be taking over Evangelicalism. Fundamentalists banded together to launch a counteroffensive.There were 2 streams of the early Fundamentalist movement.One was intellectual fundamentalism led by J. Gresham Machen [Gres'am May-chen] and his Calvinist peers at Princeton. [the ‘h' in Gresham is silent!]The other was populist fundamentalism led by CI Schofield who produced the best-selling Scofield Reference Bible which contained his expansive notes and laid out a dispensationalism many found appealing.Other notable fundamentalist leaders were RA Torrey, DL Moody, Billy Sunday, and the Holiness Movement that moved in several denominations, most notably the Nazarenes.While the intellectual and populist streams of fundamentalism attempted to unite in their opposition to modernism, there were simply too many doctrinal differences between all the various groups inside the movement to allow for a concerted strategy in dealing with Liberalism. As a result, Modernists were able to continue their infiltration and take-over of the intellectual centers of the Faith.In reaction to modernists, in 1910, a group of conservative Presbyterians responded with five convictions that came to be considered the core Fundamentals from which the movement derived its name. Those five convictions flowed from their certainty in the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture. They were . . .1)  The inerrancy of the original writings.2)  The virgin birth of Jesus.3)  The substitutionary atonement of Jesus on the cross.4)  His literal, bodily resurrection.5)  A belief that Jesus' miracles were to be understood as real events and not merely literary mythology meant to teach some ethical imperative. Jesus really fed thousands with a few fish and loaves, really raised Jairus' daughter from the dead, and really walked on water.These fundamentals were elaborated and released between 1910 and 15 in a set of booklets called The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth. The Stewart brothers funded their publication and ensured they were distributed to every Christian leader across the US. Some three million copies were circulated before WWI to combat the threat of Modernism.
