This week, the Sun's square to Neptune asks, “Who are you, really?” And as the Sun conjoins Jupiter just in time for the Cancer New Moon, we learn something about traveling far to find our tribe and the wandering ways we might have to sacrifice in order to belong. And Mercury enters Leeeeoooo for a storytelling journey that involves the mentorship of Saturn, the imagination of Neptune, and the soul-bearing honesty of Pluto. And a listener question about the Part of Fortune. Plus: Phoning home, sitting at the supper table, and the stuff of legend.   Read a full transcript of this episode.

What happens when a nation founded on Christian principles abandons its spiritual heritage? The answer unfolds around us daily as America drifts further from its foundational values.Today's journey through history, scripture, and contemporary challenges reveals the profound disconnect between what we claim to prioritize and how we actually spend our time. Many of us profess devotion to faith while neglecting Bible reading and prayer, mirroring our nation's broader spiritual crisis. This spiritual inconsistency weakens both our personal faith and our collective ability to maintain the moral framework necessary for self-governance.The Mayflower Compact stands as powerful evidence of America's explicitly Christian origins, with settlers declaring their purpose was "for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith." This foundation contrasts sharply with today's immigration crisis, where America's Christian identity is increasingly diluted rather than strengthened. The Medal of Honor stories featured in this episode—particularly Captain William Barber's extraordinary stand against overwhelming odds during the Korean War—challenge us to examine our own willingness to sacrifice for principles larger than ourselves.Fox's Book of Martyrs provides chilling reminders that religious persecution follows whenever power divorces itself from genuine Christian morality. The Inquisition's horrors—torture, false accusations, and execution for dissent—parallel tactics used by modern totalitarian movements against those who resist conformity. As Mercy Otis Warren's history of the American Revolution demonstrates, our founders recognized when peaceful redress failed and preparation for resistance became necessary—a pattern of prudent preparation today's Christians should consider as religious liberty faces mounting threats.America stands at a crossroads. Will we continue down the path of spiritual indifference, or will we restore the Christian principles that made self-governance possible? The choice is ours, but time grows short. Join us in strengthening our families, churches, and communities while recommitting to the God who blessed America from its beginning.

June 17, 2025, marks the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the first full-scale battle of what would become the American War for Independence. Although technically a British victory, Bunker Hill proved that colonial soldiers could hold their own against the might of the British Empire. New England militiamen inflicted 1,054 casualties on the British, 50 percent of the British force. The New Englanders sustained 411 casualties that day, including the man who stood at the heart of this battle: Dr. Joseph Warren. Who was Dr. Joseph Warren, and why did he risk his life in the first major battle of the Revolutionary War? What drove this physician, political thinker, and revolutionary leader to become the face of the American Revolution in Boston? Christian Di Spigna, Executive Director of the Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation, joins us to explore these questions and commemorate this important anniversary with details from his book, Founding Martyr: The Life and Death of Dr. Joseph Warren, the American Revolution's Lost Hero.

Amy Needle, CEO and President of Historic Philadelphia, Inc. discussed the summer activities planned for Franklin Square, the Betsy Ross House and throughout the Olde City historic district. The brainchild of former Mayor Ed Rendell, Historic Philadelphia was founded to package and promote the tourism impact of the many historic sites and the pivotal events that happened here. Today it oversees the Betsy Ross House, the home of Betsy, her three husbands and many children and her upholstery business, and the redeveloped and revitalized Franklin Square, one of William Penn’s original green spaces. It also offers ‘Once Upon a Nation,’ live interactive presentations by costumed reenactors throughout the historic district. We touched on the plans for this year, and ongoing partnerships with other district museums and sites in anticipation of 2026 celebrations. Once Upon A Nation will again offer its famous Storytelling Benches in Old City with new free programs for kids. For adults, they are introducing ‘Cocktails with Congress,’ a Thursday Happy Hour at Carpenters’ Hall. At Franklin Square the Chinese Lantern Festival, their major fundraiser, returns June 20 through August 31 with cultural offerings and vendors. The event is open to the public during the day and ticketed at night when the lanterns glow. The daily fountain shows in the Rendell Family Fountain, the carousel and Mini Golf and Square Burger restaurant are all open throughout the day and evening. During the day there will be exercise classes, yoga and other offerings at the park which serves as a green anchor for the residents and schools nearby. Amy discussed their annual July 2nd celebration, a parade winding from the National Constitution Center to the Museum of the American Revolution, followed by activities and entertainment at eight neighboring historic sites. Amy revealed that an expanded version of this will be the centerpiece for their 2026 plans as well as ‘52 Weeks of Firsts’ – markers celebrating famous firsts of Philadelphia, with one spotlighted every week. For more information about tours, Once Upon a Nation sites, tickets to the Chinese Lantern Festival and other historic events check the Historic Philadelphia Gazette at historicphiladelpia.org.

We start the show by asking listeners about a weekend of demonstrations, including 'No King' rallies and the military parade. Anand Giridharadas, political commentator, discusses the shut-down of protests Saturday in LA, Trump's military parade and the political violence in Minnesota.Lucy Wightman discusses her new memoir "Princess Cheyenne: My Life as Boston's Most Famous Stripper."Lisa Thurau and Kristen Wheeler of Strategies for Youth, a Cambridge-based nonprofit, discuss the increase in pretrial detention for youths last year that are the result of law enforcement's decision to arrest young people for misdemeanors. The Revs Irene Monroe and Emmett Price join for All Rev'd Up x BPR, discussing the clergy who played a pivotal role 250 years ago in the American Revolution and how they are navigating us through political turbulence today.

What do your daily choices reveal about your priorities? In this thought-provoking episode, I dig into the uncomfortable truth that our actions speak volumes about what we truly value. When we claim we "can't" make time for God or meaningful relationships but somehow find hours for sports, social media, or streaming services, we're not facing an issue of ability but of willingness.I explore America's often-overlooked Christian foundations through historical evidence, including presidents who took their oath of office on specific Bible passages and Thomas Jefferson's acknowledgment of Jesus's moral teachings. These facts challenge the modern narrative that our nation was designed to be purely secular, revealing instead a republic founded on principles inseparable from their Christian origin.The heart of this episode confronts a difficult reality: the growing likelihood of ideological conflict in America's future. Drawing wisdom from Stonewall Jackson's perspective on courage and faith, I discuss how spiritual preparation becomes essential when facing uncertainty. When peaceful coexistence with evil ideologies becomes impossible, what principles will guide our response?Through readings from Fox's Book of Martyrs and Mercy Otis Warren's history of the American Revolution, we encounter sobering examples of both the reality of evil and the courage required to stand against it. These historical accounts remind us that every generation faces its own moral challenges requiring conviction and clarity.Whether examining the Medal of Honor recipients who sacrificed everything or considering our responsibility to protect the vulnerable, this episode invites you to reflect on what truly matters in life. Join me in exploring how faith, courage, and clear moral priorities have always been essential to preserving liberty and defending those who cannot defend themselves.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

To the expanded eyes of the imagination, the American Revolution is more than a political uprising against tyranny. It is also a liberation of human desire on all levels, including sexual and natural. The limits of time and space are on the verge of being shattered, and Atlantis will rise.

Send us a textIn this special Army Birthday Week episode, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson joins Joe to explore the deep roots of the U.S. Army and what its 250-year journey can teach today's leaders. Known for his Liberation Trilogy and now two volumes into his Revolution Trilogy, Atkinson brings the American Revolution to life—warts, wonder, and all—and makes a compelling case for why understanding our founding story is essential for anyone in uniform.In this episode, they explore:What it was like growing up as an Army brat—and how Atkinson's father's 30-year career shaped his lifelong fascination with military historyThe surprising parallels between Washington's army and today's force, from self-study and logistics to leadership under pressureHow George Washington's instinct for civilian control—and his rapid growth as a commander—still echoes in the Army's DNAWhy the American Revolution was, in Atkinson's words, “our first civil war,” and how its complexity is far more compelling than its mythologyLafayette, logistics, and the brutal truth of 18th-century expeditionary warfare (including the grim sound of horse carcasses hitting the sea)The power of books, curiosity, and informal learning among Washington's officers—and why that tradition matters more than ever for leaders todayWhat Atkinson hopes readers, soldiers, and citizens will carry forward from the Founding Generation—and why we must not lose sight of what they gave usWhether you're a company commander, a military history buff, or someone simply trying to understand where the Army came from and where it's headed, this episode is a timely reminder: the past isn't just prologue—it's instruction.Rick Atkinson is the bestselling author of eight works of narrative military history, including The Fate of the Day, The Guns at Last Light, The Day of Battle, An Army at Dawn, The Long Gray Line, In the Company of Soldiers, and Crusade. He also was the lead essayist in Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery, published by National Geographic.

“I don't see how we make it to the end of Trump's four-year term without some sort of very extreme debt event,” warns Tom Bilyeu, CEO of Impact Theory. In his conversation with Daniela Cambone, Bilyeu argues that U.S. government, corporate, and individual debt levels are unsustainable. To maintain social and economic stability, he believes the country will be forced to print massive amounts of money—eroding the dollar's value and widening the wealth gap.“We're gonna print, print, print to calm people down because nobody has the discipline to say, ‘Yeah, it's gonna suck, but it's gonna suck a lot less than the implosion of the entire economy.'”Bilyeu also addresses the growing discussion around a “monetary reset,” which he interprets as a debt jubilee—a dramatic cancellation of debts that has historically triggered unrest. “Take your revolutionary pick… whether you like your chaos in the French style or the American Revolution—those are never subtle.”Watch the full interview to hear why Bilyeu believes economic discipline is no longer politically viable—and what history tells us might come next.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload the Ultimate Decision-Making Guide on Gold & Silver plus Daniela Cambone's Top 10 Lessons to safeguard your wealth (FREE)

! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmic evolutionary com/astrologically-speaking This week's podcast discusses how the U.S. Pluto return has brought us to the point where people protesting in the streets against the “disappearance” of people under the orders of the government-sanctioned Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency may well mark the beginning of the recurrence of the American Revolution.This podcast discusses all that's occurred as we continue to wax toward the exact Mars/Uranus & Jupiter/Saturn squares on June 15. And how that includes President Trump's use of the Los Angeles protests to justify usurping California's Governor Gavin Newsom legal authority to call in first that state's national guard, and then the federal marines. That we are in a recurrence of the time of the birth of this nation, and since the exact Pluto return to its natal place in the U.S. Sibly birth chart, seems more undeniable than ever now. This podcast explains how recurrent energies work and highlights how the events of the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection a year before the first exact Pluto return conjunction on February 20, 2022, set the U.S. into revolutionary motion.We further discuss the transits & progression to the U.S. chart on January 6, and how the “big lie” by sore loser Donald Trump created illusion, confusion, & delusion of millions in this nation by the time of the U.S. progressed lunar new moon on March 25, 2024. This occurred in Pisces in the nation's 3rd House of communication, & seems to correlate with the lies & conspiracy theories swallowed hook line & sinker by millions who were deceived into believing a second Trump presidency would be anything like the first.We look, too, at where the U.S. progressed Moon is now, as it approaches a conjunction to our natal 7th House Venus, Jupiter, & Sun, all in Moon-ruled Cancer. And how, since Mercury & Jupiter entered sensitive, nurturing, protective Cancer on June 8 & 9, respectively, & as we approach the June 15 Jupiter/Saturn waxing square, we've seen emotions expand in reaction to actions taken by a tyrannical wannabe dictator against his own citizenry.“It feels as if the underbelly of the entire country is now on full view,” Eddie Glaude, Jr., Princeton University academic & political pundit recently stated. In doing so, he aptly sums up the nature of Pluto's current energies, that of exposing all our dirty laundry—not to mention this nation's history of political dirty tricks—to the surface for all to see. What's been made clear since the June 11 Sagittarius Full Moon—which formed a mutable cross to the transiting nodal axis—is that we must eschew the more myopic perspective for a much larger, bigger picture understanding of what's actually happening now.And that's especially true as we wax toward the explosive nature of Mars in Leo's square to Uranus in Taurus, best exemplified right now not only by the sudden martial actions taken against U.S. citizens by its own government, but internationally as well.Though not covered in this podcast since it occurred post recording, we know now that Israel has bombed Iran's capital and killed several prominent leaders there, including those in charge of its nuclear program. This, not only as we approach the exact Mars/Uranus square, but also as transiting Mars quincunxes the U.S. natal Pluto. Ya can't get more of a plutonic message than that, between what's going on here and the U.S.'s pre-knowledge of Israel's actions, since the government moved many Americans out of its nearby embassies in the Middle East.As the Saturn/Neptune in Aries dance continues, we're also seeing far more instability not only in the U.S., but worldwide. Today marks a day when the waxing Saturn/Pluto synodic cycle, begun on January 12, 2020, continues to illustrate a global realignment of power. We sit on the potential doorstep of WWIII and wait and watch to see how Iran will make good on its threat to retaliate.Meanwhile, all eyes are on the military parade in Washington, D.C., on Trump's BD June 14, as all this chaos now swirls around not only the U.S. but the world. Will something sudden happen that involves the military? Will the troops who've been assigned to this parade and to California be needed elsewhere while they're distracted by being in D.C.?As for the pending June 15 Jupiter/Saturn, this podcast discusses how the mythological battle between Jupiter (Zeus) & Saturn is one between the old & the new, the old & the young. We're seeing this play out now in American politics as Democrats resist allowing older Congressional incumbents to be primaried by younger people.We're also seeing the tension between established law (Jupiter) & authorities who want to bypass those laws to achieve their immediate aims. It's here that the Saturn/Neptune in Aries energy comes into play, as it dissolves the boundaries of foundational structures. The question is whether pushback against dismantling foundational constitutional norms will succeed or be overthrown.Tune in for all this Astro News & More--& there's lots to discuss @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingwhich drops June 13 at 11 a.m. PT & 2 pm.

In this episode of the America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano tells the remarkable story of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence and the only Catholic to sign it. Born into immense wealth but denied basic rights due to his faith, Carroll risked everything to support American independence. His signature was more than ink. It represented a bold commitment to the words, “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Discover how this overlooked Founder became a powerful voice for liberty, challenged religious discrimination, and helped shape a freer nation, despite the contradictions he carried. Episode Highlights: The untold story of how a wealthy Catholic outsider became a key voice in America's fight for independence and a signer of the Declaration Why Charles Carroll risked everything by boldly signing the Declaration of Independence with “of Carrollton” to ensure the British knew it was him How Carroll championed religious freedom, helped lay the foundation for the First Amendment, and his internal contradictions on slavery

Eliot and Eric offer up candidates for jackassery of the week before turning to a discussion of The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780, (New York: Crown, 2025) the second volume of journalist/historian Rick Atkinson's monumental military history of the American revolution. They discuss Atkinson's background as a military journalist for the Washington Post who has written books about the Gulf War, the Iraq War and covered other late 20th and 21st Century conflicts before turning his attention to writing a trilogy on the US Army in Europe during the Second World War and now the American Revolution.  They discuss the depth of his research in both archives in the U.S. and UK as well as his process for researching and writing these massive volumes (each of which has taken about 5-6 years to produce) and the decline of grand narrative history in the academy (despite the public demand for it). They consider how his own experience as a journalist affected his sense of the contingency of warfare and the fact that there are always tensions between the architects of war in capitals and the officers and troops on the ground. He explains how King George III and his ministers never understood the American drive for independence and were gripped by strategic misconceptions about how to fight the war, including the notion that there was a silent majority of North Americans who supported the monarchy despite the fact that the loyalists had mostly fled the colonies to Canada, the Caribbean or London. They discuss the star crossed career of Benedict Arnold, Washington's generalship at the Battle of Brandywine in Pennsylvania, and, finally, how Americans should think about the meaning of the American revolution today as we celebrate the sesquicentennial of the war for independence over the next 8 years.

On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and staunch anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on the most famous horse ride in American history. A century later it inspired the poem and legend of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." But the story is deeper and richer than we've all assumed. Acclaimed writer and editor Kostya Kennedy, through extraordinary and extensive research, has uncovered new and enlightening information on that amazing - including the women who were involved and African Americans in Boston - event presented now in his new book, THE RIDE: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (St. Martin's Press, On Sale Date 3/25/25, $30.00). Revere was not the only rider on the night of April 18, 1775, but he was by far the most critical. The Patriots best and most trusted "express rider" he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years following - as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding tales. In THE RIDE, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of Revere's ride, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. What he found are never before, or rarely, discussed events, before and after the ride, including: *On the night of the ride, Paul Revere was already the go-to rider for the revolution, called upon to make the most critical rides: in December 1773 he rode hundreds of miles south to New York and Philadelphia to deliver news of The Boston Tea Party.*Revere never said, "The British are coming!" during the ride.*On the night of the ride, Revere rode on a borrowed horse that was then taken from him by British officers; Revere never saw the horse again.*The "sea," in "one if by land, two if by sea," refers to the Charles River.*Revere intentionally did not carry his pistol on the night of the ride, which may have saved his life.*At the start of the ride, Revere was rowed quietly over the Charles River from Boston to Charlestown, along the way eluding lookouts stationed on a British warship.*Other riders galloped through the countryside that night carrying the alarm and nearly all of them were set in motion by Revere's alarm.*Only one other rider departed from Boston, William Dawes, who left over land across Boston Neck; as Dawes got past British guards he pretended he was a drunk country bumpkin. Kennedy's work shows the Revere ride to be vastly more complex than is usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters, capture by British forces, and ultimately success. While Paul Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, the author reveals the myriad other men - and women! - who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America's independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic heart-stopping narrative, THE RIDE re-tells the essential American story of our nation's awakening for a new generation of readers. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Clay's conversation with popular guest Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky on Patrick Henry. Henry began his life as a shopkeeper but rose to become the governor of Virginia and one of the handful of most essential rabble-rousers in the American Revolution. Henry and Jefferson were frenemies; at one point, Jefferson (the Deist) said to his friend Madison, “We must pray for Henry's death.” This quip was likely a joke, but Jefferson was quite critical of Henry, and he never forgave him for initiating a legislative investigation into Jefferson's conduct as the beleaguered wartime governor of Virginia. Henry refused to attend the Constitutional Convention in 1787 because, he said, “he smelt a rat.” He opposed ratification in Virginia, but when Jefferson and Madison were considering secession in 1798 and 1799, Henry declared to George Washington that the constitutional settlement must not be disturbed by the Jeffersonians. This episode was recorded live May 16, 2025.

It's Friday, June 6th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 9 Christians On June 1st and 2nd, Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed at least nine Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria, following the slaughter of 27 others days before, reports Morning Star News. The attacks took place in Bokkos County in predominantly Christian communities. Emmanuel Auta, a local resident, said, “Christians [are] being butchered.” Another resident, Lilian Madaki, said, “Among some of the Christian victims that I know is a 14-year-old Christian teenager who was shot and wounded and is currently being treated at a hospital.” And, in a text to Christian Daily International, Yakubu Kefas wrote,  “The attackers, who we believe are Fulani terrorists, are carrying out indiscriminate shootings, killings, and large-scale arson, resulting in widespread terror, Christian casualties, and destruction of property.” Please pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in Plateau State, Nigeria. Proverbs 21:15 says, “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” Trump bans new visas for foreign nationals from 12 countries On June 4, President Donald Trump issued a full suspension on new visas for foreign nationals from a dozen countries applying for entry to the United States and a partial suspension on nationals from another seven, reports TheEpochTimes.com. The proclamation is set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 9. A full suspension will go into effect for nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. A partial suspension will affect nationals from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. This executive action comes after the Secretary of State and assistant to the president on Homeland Security filed a report on April 9 identifying countries with such deficient vetting and screening information that a full or partial suspension of entry for their nationals was warranted. ‘60 Minutes' anchor Scott Pelley ripped for "angry, unhinged" speech criticizing Trump Outraged critics blasted longtime CBS “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley as “angry” and “unhinged” after he delivered a fear-baced tirade against President Donald Trump during a commencement speech in North Carolina, reports the New York Post. The CBS newscaster warned Wake Forest University's graduating class on May 19 that “insidious fear” has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation — leaving America in a state of “peril.” Listen. PELLEY:  “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes.” Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, called Pelley out for such a ridiculous statement. JENNINGS: “On the free speech issue, I don't know what America Scott Pelley is living in. We have more speech now than ever. There is no problem with free speech in America. What we do have a problem with are people who don't speak truthfully, who are interested more in narratives than truth, and who are using what used to be journalism for activism. We do have a problem with that.” Jennings asserted that 60 Minutes on CBS is a platform that is more interested in a leftist narrative than the truth. JENNINGS: “If you've watched 60 Minutes for five minutes over the last several years, you would know it's not fair. This is one of the shows, this is one of the outlets that conservatives would point to most often to say: ‘This is the state of American journalism. It's only here to try to hurt Republicans, hurt conservatives, hurt Donald Trump.'” Painting of Jesus returned to prominent location at naval academy U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that he is restoring an historic painting of Jesus Christ to its place of prominence at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, after it had been taken down by Biden-era officials, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Known as “Christ on the water,” the painting depicts Jesus walking on the water in stormy seas toward merchant seamen adrift in a lifeboat, presumably after being torpedoed.  DUFFY: “We are moving Jesus out of the basement. To all the great midshipmen at the Merchant Marine Academy, you let me know how important this painting was to all of you. Now, we all know it was taken out of a place of prominence and put it down in the basement. “I worked with the Academy, and because this is such a historic painting, I'm announcing that through that work with the Academy, this painting is going to go from the basement back to its place of prominence. It'll be a moment to celebrate.” It was painted by Lieutenant Hunter Wood in 1944 as a tribute to all merchant seamen who had been torpedoed during World War II. Actor Kevin Sorbo champions U.S. Christian heritage in new movie In the new docudrama called The American Miracle, historian Paul Kengor, one of 14 historians, captures how pivotal the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent American Revolution was for the world. KENGOR: “America in 1776: This is a watershed event in history. If you were to pick something over the last 450 years, four and a half centuries or so, that truly transformed humanity and the full scope of history, it was 1776.” The American Miracle movie will hit 1,000 screens across America on three days only – Monday, June 9th, Tuesday, June 10th, and Wednesday, June 11th. The actor who plays Benjamin Franklin – Barry Stevens -- is spot on in terms of appearance and disposition alike. FRANKLIN: “We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” Kevin Sorbo, who portrays the younger Thomas Jefferson, is an enthusiastic advocate that Americans know their own history. SORBO: “I think there's not enough history being taught in America anymore. I think people forget about what our Founding Fathers did for this country. Documentaries like this, I think, can help heal a nation, as corny as that sounds. I really do think it's important to learn history.” And Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple, who screened The American Miracle before its June 9th national release, was amazed to witness God's divine intervention in America. HARPER: “I went to history class. I did not learn that God was in the middle of everything that was going on with the birth of our nation, the Constitution, and it just showed the handiwork of God and how God was establishing the United States of America.” Acts 17:26 says, “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.” Go to https://americanmiraclemovie.com/, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, and type in your zipcode to purchase tickets at a movie theater near you to see it on June 9, 10 or 11.

United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8 provides:The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;Review the origins and debate over the authority to borrow money and hold debt as set forth in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.Understand how the Articles of Confederation provided that the debts incurred by the states and Congress would be honored, and paying down the debt was a critical reason for adopting the Constitution.  However, the Founding Fathers universally believed that the Congress under the Articles was incapable of paying the debt, and this weakness was a major reason for the calling of the Constitutional Convention.Learn how although the Constitutional Convention originally agreed that payment of the debts was mandatory and Congress would assume the debts of the States, those provisions were omitted in the Constitution. Instead, Article I, Section 8 vests the Congress with the power to borrow funds on the credit of the United States and to pay its debts. Discover how the Constitutional Convention originally agreed to create a constitutionally created Treasurer of the United States, and then agreed to eliminate the position.Review how Anti-Federalists attacked the debt power as destructive to American liberties.Explore how the debt provisions were essential to secure the good credit of the country, to repay creditors who funded the American Revolution and the Congress afterwards, and to ensure the security of the country in the future. Its abuse is to be kept in check by the reality that we elect the Congress that incurs the debt — they are accountable to We, The People.Highlights include the Constitutional Convention, Articles of Confederation, the New Jersey Plan, the Paterson Plan, the Paterson Resolutions, the Randolph Resolutions, the Randolph Resolves, the Virginia Plan, James Madison, Shays' Rebellion, Roger Sherman, Judge John Yates, Governor Edmund Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, Gunning Bedford, Jr., Elbridge Gerry, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Ellsworth, Governor Wiliam Livingston, Roger Sherman, Dr. William Samuel Johnson, Gouverneur Morris, United States Treasurer, Rhode Island Constitutional Convention, Edward Rutledge, Virginia Constitutional Convention, Anti-Federalists, Agrippa, Brutus, John DeWitt, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, House of Representatives, United States Senate, and more.To learn more about the Constitution & Patriot Week, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.

On the latest episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester continue their analysis of Season Two of the Disney+ streaming series Andor: A Star Wars Story with a discussion centered on the Ghorman storyline heavily featured across Episodes 4 to 8 and culminating in the eighth episode focused entirely on the the tragedy of the Ghorman Massacre. One major theme of this storyline is the power of propaganda, introduced in the first Imperial scenes of the season's first episode. We then consider other forms of Imperial manipulation of the events on Ghorman, and the ideas Andor presents about oppression and resistance through the lens of Imperial military occupation, the Ghorman Front and public opposition, and the role of Luthen's agents on the road to the Massacre. These themes and ideas are reflected across the characterization and character arcs of numerous individuals in these episodes, including Cassian, Luthen, and Wilmon; Vel and Cinta; Dedra, Syril, and Partagaz; and even Mon Mothma and Director Krennic. We also examine how the various new characters from Ghorman – particularly Carro Rylanz, Enza Rylanz, Samm, Thela, and Lezine – illustrate the themes and ideas of the storyline, and how their experiences of oppression and resistance influence their decisions and actions leading up to, and during, the Massacre. In media appearances promoting Andor Season Two, creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy has spoken extensively about the real-world influences on his storytelling in the series, especially his lifelong passion for reading and learning about revolutions across the world and throughout history. Our discussion considers several of these influences, such as wartime propaganda, especially in the twentieth century. Gilroy also references both the French Resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II and the subsequent Algerian resistance to French colonial control in subsequent decades, portrayed in the classic film The Battle of Algiers (1966), which influenced the visual style of the eighth episode in particular. We also point out connections to the American Revolution, French Revolution, and Haitian Revolution, and the significance of Gilroy's mentions of Oliver Cromwell and the Baader-Meinhof Group. Like George Lucas, who drew heavily on fictional and nonfictional influences when first creating his ideas for the initial Star Wars films, Tony Gilroy's Andor contains an insightful and impactful combination of fiction and nonfiction inspirations.
