Wednesday's show marked the return of Neil Levesque to the program. Neil is the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College. Our conversation included a look ahead to next week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the Presidential Candidates choices of running mates and September 10 when New Hampshire will hold it's Gubernatorial and Congressional primaries and when Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate for the first time.

Neil Levesque, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College, joined us Wednesday to discuss the Institute's just-released Presidential survey. Mr. Levesque also talked about the events of this past week in the aftermath of the first Presidential debate.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 199: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump and his henchmen opened not one but two emergency exits for him to bail out of Thursday's debate against The President and blame it on Biden. And in doing so, his dumbest press secretary yet went on CNN and called Adolf Hitler "HILTER." H-I-L-T-E-R, Hilter. I don't know if she should be fired for invoking HItler, or if she WILL be fired for getting the name of Trump's role model wrong. It's Karoline Leavitt, the former centerfielder of the St. Anselm College softball team and the idiot who previously insisted the word 'damning' is correctly pronounced 'dammaning,' tried to filibuster CNN's Katie Hunt about how biased debate hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash really are. As Hunt cut first the answer and then the interview off, Leavitt insisted anybody could spend five minutes googling how many times Tapper had compared Trump to "Adolf Hilter." Bypassing the whole Hitler/Hilter stuff, "Damaning Hilter" Leavitt adopted the traditional pose of the Martyred Trump Huckster and did the rounds of the fascist media outlets. When she went on Steve Bannon's outlet he said either CNN apologizes to her, or Trump should cancel the debate. Hours later, Trump opened a second emergency chute, again demanding drug tests before the debate, as his personal quack Congressman Physician Prescribe Thyself Ronny Jackson wrote a long letter to the White House requesting such tests (and saying nothing about any stashes he may have left there). Who knows if Trump really will bail. But he's got FOLAD (Fear Of Losing A Debate) all covered. MEANWHILE: it's a long shot but I'm beginning to wonder if somebody on Jack Smith's side is laying the groundwork for indicting Trump anew - in New Jersey. There has been a second news leak in just three business days, about Trump's Mar-a-Lago Espionage Scandal. Yesterday's leak via ABC News did not resonate among American news media which can generally only BARELY handle one thing at a time – like the debate. The story itself – about Trump making an almost-secret special trip to Florida in July 2022 to make sure nobody had touched the documents he stole from the White House and hid from his own attorney - may not be much more than another one of those threads that you pull on and maybe it just comes off in your hand – or maybe it unravels the entirety of Trump's size 62 suit. I don't even think prosecutors know what they have here. But he went down there two weeks after he had bankers' boxes shipped from Mar-a-Lago to the Bedminster Golf Course. They didn't contain Ivana. B-Block (20:35) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: I have somehow forgotten, for years, maybe 35 years, the first and arguably the best joke I ever made about Trump. I'll correct that here. Not only are the British Conservatives on track for a historic loss in the July 4 election but two candidates, a party official, and a security guard have been caught allegedly wagering on which day their prime minister would select for Election Day! And the rare two-wins-in-a-row for Puck media guy Dylan Byers, carrying still more management water as he turns gutsy Washington Post reporting on the paper's ongoing management scandal into “a plan to dig for unflattering information.” C-Block (27:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: How did I forget to tell you this one through the first 500 episodes of this podcast? How could I have missed the 24th anniversary last week? I'll just mention the principals: my mother, me, a former New York Yankees infielder named Chuck Knoblauch - and Babe Ruth. .  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politics and football were Wednesday's topics. Neil Levesque, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College, discussed the recent visit of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to the Institute and also talked about last week's first Republican presidential debate. Later in the program we were joined by Gregg Ficery author of the new book “Gridiron Legacy: Pro Football's Missing Origin Story”. Mr. Ficery's project was inspired by the discovery of long-forgotten photographs he found in his grandmother's basement in 2007. His great grandfather played pro football and was the center who snapped the ball to the quarterback who completed the first forward pass in the history of pro football.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del viernes 12 de mayo de 2023: - Los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes aprobaron el jueves un proyecto de ley radical para construir más muro fronterizo entre Estados Unidos y México e imponer nuevas restricciones a los solicitantes de asilo, lo que crea una oposición de línea dura a las políticas del presidente Joe Biden justo cuando los inmigrantes se acumulan a lo largo de la frontera con el fin de las restricciones por la pandemia del coronavirus. El proyecto de ley prácticamente no tiene posibilidades de convertirse en ley. Los demócratas, que tienen un estrecho control en el Senado, han denunciado las medidas agresivas del proyecto de ley como “crueles” y “antiinmigrantes” y Biden ya ha prometido que las vetará. Pero el Partido Republicano de la Cámara votó deliberadamente sobre el proyecto de ley el mismo día en que caducó el Título 42, una regla de emergencia de salud pública que permitía a las autoridades fronterizas devolver rápidamente a muchos inmigrantes que cruzaron la frontera ilegalmente. Biden ha admitido que la frontera sur será “caótica por un tiempo” mientras los inmigrantes sopesan si cruzar y los funcionarios estadounidenses utilizan un nuevo conjunto de políticas que apuntan a reprimir la inmigración ilegal al tiempo que ofrecen más vías legales. FUENTE: AP CNN se enfrenta a una reacción violenta por su foro público con el expresidente Donald Trump, un evento que rápidamente se volvió caótico en una dura muestra de la cuerda floja que enfrentan los periodistas que cubren a un candidato republicano líder en 2024 que se niega a seguir las reglas. La sesión pública del miércoles fue el primer gran evento televisivo de la campaña presidencial de 2024 y CNN defendió su decisión de celebrarlo como una oportunidad para poner a Trump frente a una audiencia más amplia, fuera de la burbuja mediática conservadora en la que se ha mantenido en gran medida desde principios de su presidencia. Los críticos dijeron que el evento, que se organizó frente a republicanos y votantes no afiliados que se esperaba que votaran en las primarias republicanas, se convirtió en un mitin de campaña de Trump que produjo pocas noticias reales y le permitió a Trump repetir falsedades de larga data mientras esquivaba preguntas difíciles. Tom Jones, escritor principal del instituto de investigación de medios Poynter, dijo que estaba a favor de la idea de que CNN realizara el foro público en St. Anselm College en New Hampshire. Pero dijo que estaba sorprendido por la conducta de la audiencia, que esperaba que fuera más neutral. En cambio, la multitud le dio a Trump una ovación de pie cuando subió al escenario, aplaudió algunos de sus comentarios más provocativos y se rió de muchas de sus bromas, incluso cuando criticó a Elizabeth Jean Carroll, la columnista de consejos que lo acusó de violarla en 1996 y esta semana ganó un juicio de $5 millones en su contra. Jones dijo que la atmósfera puso a la moderadora de CNN, Kaitlan Collins, en una posición casi imposible mientras intentaba obtener respuestas directas de Trump y verificar sus comentarios sobre el asalto al Capitolio del 6 de enero por parte de sus seguidores y las elecciones de 2020, que todavía insiste falsamente que ganó.

Monday's program featured Neil Levesque, the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College. The discussion concerned the weekend vote by the Democratic National Committee to strip New Hampshire of its' First in the Nation Presidential Primary status and award it to South Carolina. During the interview Mr. Levesque accused the D.N.C. of trying to “rig” the primary process and also assured us that New Hampshire would still be the first primary state since it is a state law. Also, Hockey East broadcaster John Leahy joined the show to recap the weekend action in College Hockey's top conference and preview tonight's opening round of the annual Beanpot Tournament in Boston.

The 2020 presidential election has cast a long shadow over American politics. Much of the decorum, propriety, and cordiality of the political world was replaced by even more polarization, and violent aggression as demonstrated by the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 in support of President Donald Trump. Partisan polarization continues to plague daily life, and unfortunately, as it increases, so does inter-party polarization. The Democratic Party, divided between more establishment candidates and those on the more progressive wing of the party, saw an increasing gap between these ideologies as represented by the 2020 candidates for the presidential nomination. The Republican Party has a somewhat similar dynamic, divided between moderates and conservatives within the party, but also, in 2020, between those willing to criticize President Trump and those who were loyally supporting him. Polarization and Political Party Factions in the 2020 Election (Lexington, 2022) sheds light on the major changes seen during the 2020 campaign and election, while also exploring the longer-term implications of these shifts and changes. This edited volume breaks down key understandings of the American political landscape in order to paint a full picture of the dynamics during the course of the entire 2020 election season. Each chapter examines specific conditions connected to presidential and congressional primaries, polling, activism in online spaces, essential voting rights, ideologies, and more. The focus of the chapters looks at two forms of factionalism: the first and rather obvious form of factionalism is between the Democratic and Republican parties, which leads to our current polarization; the second is the internal and asymmetric dynamic in each party, where tension between different factions push and pull the workings of the parties themselves and the candidates running as members and representatives of these parties. The contributing authors help make sense of a fragile and, at times, frightening era in politics, while also teasing apart the broader implications for national electoral politics. Editors Jennifer C. Lucas, Christopher J. Galdieri, and Tauna S. Sisco (all of whom are members of the faculty at St. Anselm College) have brought together an insightful and illuminating collection of chapters from some of the most respected authors in the field. This is an engaging and accessible book that will appeal to students, scholars, and citizens. Emma R. Handschke assisted in the production of this podcast Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

Much of the decorum, propriety, and cordiality of the political world was replaced by even more polarization, and violent aggression as demonstrated by the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 in support of President Donald Trump. Partisan polarization continues to plague daily life, and unfortunately, as it increases, so does inter-party polarization. The Democratic Party, divided between more establishment candidates and those on the more progressive wing of the party, saw an increasing gap between these ideologies as represented by the 2020 candidates for the presidential nomination. The Republican Party has a somewhat similar dynamic, divided between moderates and conservatives within the party, but also, in 2020, between those willing to criticize President Trump and those who were loyally supporting him. Polarization and Political Party Factions in the 2020 Election (Lexington, 2022) sheds light on the major changes seen during the 2020 campaign and election, while also exploring the longer-term implications of these shifts and changes. This edited volume breaks down key understandings of the American political landscape in order to paint a full picture of the dynamics during the course of the entire 2020 election season. Each chapter examines specific conditions connected to presidential and congressional primaries, polling, activism in online spaces, essential voting rights, ideologies, and more. The focus of the chapters looks at two forms of factionalism: the first and rather obvious form of factionalism is between the Democratic and Republican parties, which leads to our current polarization; the second is the internal and asymmetric dynamic in each party, where tension between different factions push and pull the workings of the parties themselves and the candidates running as members and representatives of these parties. The contributing authors help make sense of a fragile and, at times, frightening era in politics, while also teasing apart the broader implications for national electoral politics. Editors Jennifer C. Lucas, Christopher J. Galdieri, and Tauna S. Sisco (all of whom are members of the faculty at St. Anselm College) have brought together an insightful and illuminating collection of chapters from some of the most respected authors in the field. This is an engaging and accessible book that will appeal to students, scholars, and citizens. Emma R. Handschke assisted in the production of this podcast Lilly J.

**Today's host(s):** Scot Landry and Fr. Chris O'Connor **Today's guest(s):** Fr. Carlos Suarez from Christ the King, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St. Edith Stein Parishes, Brockton; and Fr. John D'Arpino from St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, Bridgewater * [George Martell's photos of the presbyteral ordination Mass](http://www.flickr.com/photos/bostoncatholic/sets/72157626770315180/) * [The Pilot story on the ordination Mass](http://www.thebostonpilot.com/article.asp?ID=13386) * [Christ the King, Brockton](http://ctkp.org/) * [Our Lady of Lourdes, Brockton](http://ourladyoflourdes-brockton.com/) * [St. Edith Stein, Brockton](http://stedithsteinparish.org/) * [St. Thomas Aquinas, Bridgewater](http://stthomasaquinas.com/) **Today's topics:** Meeting two of the newest priests in the Archdiocese, Fr. John D'Arpino and Fr. Carlos Suarez **A summary of today's show:** Fr. Carlos Suarez and Fr. John D'Arpino talk with Scot and Fr. Chris about their first weeks as newly ordained priests, their experience of the ordination Mass, celebrating the first Masses, and moving into their new parish assignments. Also, their own journeys of discerning  their vocations to the priesthood. **1st segment:** Scot welcomes Fr. chris back to the show. He has been looking forward to this show since May 21 when 6 men were ordained for Boston. Fr. Chris has been to other ordinations as well, including the Dioceses of Worcester and Springfield, where men who studied at St. John Seminary will serve. On Friday, they also had a catechetical certificate graduation. The program educate catechists to know more about their faith in order to work in parishes and share the faith. In Scot's experience, when a newly ordained priest is assigned to a parish, it re-energizes that parish. Fr. Chris said it's a reminder that the Church is ever ancient and ever new, always young. On Pentecost, we're reminded that the Holy Spirit re-energizes us. That your first love is your greatest love is true for priests as well: There will be no parish like their first parish. **2nd segment:** Scot and Fr. Chris welcome Fr. Carlos and Fr. John to the show. Scot asked Fr. John what it was like during the ordination ceremony after his years of formation. Fr. John said during the moment when Cardinal Seán asked him to pledge his obedience was a highlight for him. He remembers how peaceful he was during the whole ordination and was able to pray. The one moment that sticks out for him is the prayer that the priest prays during the Lamb of God and he suddenly realized he needed to say it. ALso during the Litany of the Saints, it touched him to think of praying with everyone in the cathedral, but also everyone who has come before. Scot asked what it's like to lay on the floor before the altar during the litany of the Saints. Fr. John said it's a humbling experience to receive those prayers of all the people. We are unworthy, but we accept it as a gift from God. Scot asked Fr. Carlos for his brightest memories of the ceremony. He said the imposition of the hands by all the brother priests was a powerful moment. He felt the communion of the priesthood as each one prayed for him. He felt a fraternity and affection from each of them. Fr. Chris asked Fr. Carlos what he was thinking about as he headed to the cathedral. He said it was overwhelming in prayer to think about all the graces he was receiving from God. The concentration on the logistics of the day helped to put aside the stress and just enter into the Mass. Scot said the closest equivalent for laypeople was their wedding day and many of them have to stress over details. Fr. John said he was lucky that he didn't have to deal logistics. He just had to show up at the cathedral and then the reception. Being on retreat for the week right up to the ordination helped him to focus on the most important part of the day. Fr. Chris said one of Cardinal Seán's gifts is preaching his homilies. Fr. Carlos said the Cardinal capitalized on the news about those who expected the Rapture and end of the world that weekend. He started with some humor, but then talked about how the Mass is a rapturous experience for people. Fr. John said he liked how the Cardinal talked about the upper room, the place of the Last Supper but also where the Apostles and Mary were gathered for Pentecost. It was a reminder that the ordination is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Scot asked Fr. John if there was anything about the ordination that surprised him. He was surprised at the amount of joy from the other priests during the Sign of Peace, even from priests he'd never met. It struck him that they are a family and now brothers in the priesthood. Fr. Carlos said he didn't expect the impact of things, especially during the prayers of consecration, recognizing the awesomeness of the moment,. Fr. John chose Fr. Brian Kiely from St. Patrick, Natick, who was his pastor during his assignment to the parish over the past two year.s It was a recognition of his love for the priesthood and that he is one of the best priests he knows. Fr. Carlos chose Fr. Michael MacEwen from Immaculate Conception, Marlboro, for similar reasons. Fr. Carlos had a lot of family fly into Boston from across the country, which was a great gift for him and a support to him in his vocation. **3rd segment:** SCot asked Fr. Carlos when he first heard his calling to the priesthood. He knew from the time he was six that God was calling him to be a priest. He would come home from Mass and play at being a priest. As he grew up and the immensity of God's calling was daunting and he started to push back. He looked into other interests and other fields of study. Around the end of senior year of high school, his faith life took off. The next year he went on a vocation discernment retreat and there was a great sense of peace and a sense of coming home. He explored both religious life and the diocesan priesthood. He graduated from Boston University in 2003 and entered seminary after. He had initially looked at the Salesian order because of his great love for youth ministry, but God made it clear that He wants him to live it through parish life in the Archdiocese of Boston. The Salesians are great, but it was clear God wasn't placing him there. Fr. Chris asked Fr. John about whether he looked into religious life. Fr. John had been exposed to the Benedictines during college and looked int o that life, but realized that he wasn't called to the monastery. He had a sense of giving back to the Church in Boston, which had given him so much of his faith. His vocation began with serving daily Mass in his parish in Lynn and that's what led him to entering the diocesan priesthood. He attended BC High and the retreat experience they offer there helped him. It's a weekend retreat in which the retreat team shares how God has worked in their life. They are encouraged to bring the prayer experiences of the retreat to the rest of their life. Faith became personal and not just a set of rules. Fr. Carlos did not go to any Catholic schools. Scot asked how attending secular schools helped him. Fr. Carlos said one of the great gifts at BU is the Catholic Center. At a secular university, living Catholicism must be an intentional act. It made the faith come alive. Belonging to a community helped strengthen him in his discernment of his vocation. Fr. Chris asked what other priests have been influential. Fr. John said his first pastor, Fr. Ed Malone, was a model of loving the priesthood and serving the people of the parish. The Jesuit priests at BC HIgh radiated the love of Christ. The monks of St. Anselm College were witness of joy and hope and helped him see Christ in his life. Fr. Carlos said there were many pastors, but the pastor of his parish growing up in East Boston was Fr. John Kilmartin, who died about 1-1/2 years ago. In the midst of his suffering, he served the people with joy. Scot asked about the final years of discernment at the seminary. Fr. Carlos said his first 15 minutes at the seminary led him to ask, What am I doing here. But as the years went by he felt a great joy and peace that he was doing what God called him to do. Fr. John agreed with experience. He found joy in growing into this idea of being father to the people he was serving. Fr. Chris said that there's a saying that every priest has one homily he preaches. Fr. Carlos said the basic message he wants to convey is the message of hope. People are often seeking joy and peace in so many other things. He hopes others find the real peace and joy that God wants. Fr. John said he preaches on the fact that we have hope because God loves us in a personal way. In that love and hope, we can find help and grace through any difficulty. **4th segment:** Fr. John said Cardinal Seán's homily reminded that the priest at Mass is both Priest and Victim. He is the sacrifice and the one who offers the sacrifice. Fr. Carlos said his first Mass was at his home parish at St. Joseph-St. Lazarus in East Boston. Being the celebrant at this altar was a beautiful moment that he's still trying to process even 2 weeks later. He asked Fr. Bob Oliver to preach at his first Mass, who had been his faculty adviser and a professor at St. John's and a role model of the priesthood. Fr. Chris asked Fr. John about his first Mass. He said during the elevation he was struck by how real the moment was, unlike any of the practices Masses he had done. He was blown away to think that he held the Creator of the Universe in his hands. And then after distribution of Communion, sitting back in his chair, to be at peace and be amazed at what just happened. Scot asked what it's like to be the principal celebrant at your first Mass. Fr. John said it's a blur, but he was absolutely present. He was nervous and wanted everything to be right. But he was able to present to it and can now recall it and look back on it. Fr. John said Fr. Peter Fournier, a recently ordained priest from Fall River who is a friend.  Scot asked Fr. John about his new assignment. The pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas is new so Fr. John is moving in on June 17. But he did meet some parishioners at the ordination Mass. He was also at freshman orientation at [Bridgewater State University](http://www.bridgew.edu/) yesterday, which is part of his responsibility. Fr. Carlos was assigned to three parishes. He's finished his first week. He's one a 3-week rotation of the parishes each Sunday. He said it's amazing how the Holy Spirit has helped him work in three parishes. He finds the people warm and welcoming. Scot asked him about the sacramental work: He's heard confessions and done anointings and celebrated daily and Sunday Masses. He enjoys meeting people after Mass and getting to know them. Fr. Carlos said there are 4 main languages in his parishes, including English, Cape Verdean Creole, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. Fr. Carlos speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Arabic. He hopes to learn the Creole languages. He's learned that Brockton is a diverse and energetic place, especially among the youth. There is a lot of energy in the parishes. Fr. John said he was thrilled to be able to do college campus ministry. It's a real sign of how important it is to help young people. They're not just the future of the Church; they are the present of the Church. Fr. Chris asked about their favorite saints. Fr. Carlos said [St. John Bosco](http://saints.sqpn.com/saint-john-bosco/) for his zeal for youth and [St. Maximilian Kolbe](http://saints.sqpn.com/saint-maximilian-kolbe/) for his martyrdom in which he gave his life for others. He said he hopes to inspired by the notion of the idea that his life is to be sacrificial on behalf of his people. Fr. John said he is inspired by [St. Ignatius of Loyola](http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07639c.htm) for how he was a soldier, but then he was drawn to his faith; St. Maximilian Kolbe, having been to Auschwitz himself and to think of being at the site of martyrdom and to see how Christ animated his priesthood. Fr. Chris said he is inspired by [St. Therese of Lisieux](http://www.sttherese.com/), finding the way to love in all that we do. Loving the Lord and your neighbor in such a way as it's found in the little things we do every day. Also, Bl. John Paul II, is fortitude, courage, and intelligence. And [St. Francis of Assisi](http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06221a.htm), in his willingness to give of himself and to point to the beauty of the natural world. **5th segment:** Scot asked Fr. Carlos how he has experienced the Holy Spirit in a new way. Certainly, the celebration of the Mass, but also in his acting as a priest. In his preaching, he sometimes feels that God is working through you to touch someone's life. Scot asked Fr. John what advice he has for men listening to the program who are discerning God's calling. He said that no matter what you are called to there will be challenges and don't be discouraged. Develop a habit of prayer. In listening to God's calling you in your heart through silence and attention, you can be sure it's God calling you and not your own will.  How do we try to pray in a busy life? The most important thing to do is to set time aside. If you want to be serious about it, then make the time. Set aside a space in your home that is set apart for prayer. Go to a Church to pray. Read Scripture and ask God to speak to you through it. Fr. Chris spoke of the promises that the priests made, including the gift of celibacy. Fr. John said it's a reminder that it's an image of Christ himself, who lived a life of poverty and obedience and chastity. The priest takes on that image of Christ. It reminds us that in heaven there is no giving and taking in marriage. By being celibate, the priest shows our future in heaven. Fr. Carlos said every vocation requires a sacrifice. In marriage, we pledge exclusivity to one person. In priesthood, the Church is his bride. The people of the church are his spiritual children. That desire is fulfilled through a sacrifice to God. If God is calling you to do something, then he will fulfill you in everything  you do. Scot added that praying to God for grace in anything that comes into our life is fruitful. We don't go alone; we have Jesus and the holy Spirit to help fulfill us. Fr. Carlos said we don't have to do it alone. God gives us the grace to live out the vows He's invited us to take. His advice for those discerning their lives is to not be afraid. If God is calling you, then that is what will give you the greatest happiness in life. That is what will most fulfill us. Offer your natural fears to God in prayer and you will see fears settled and joys unfold. Fr. Chris echoed the advice not to be afraid. He said entering the seminary is not making a lifetime commitment. Seminary is for coming and seeing if God is calling you to the priesthood.
