"...21 But we were hoping that it was He whowas going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third daysince these things happened. ..." Luke24 is one of the most exciting chapters in the Bible as it describes theresurrection of Jesus Christ. When you have a perplexed heart like the womendid at the cross because they found no body, the tomb was opened and Jesusrevealed Himself to Mary Magdalene, I am reminded that Jesus knows our name andreveals Himself to perplexed hearts. And oh, what a difference it makes. Todaywe're looking at verses 13 through 35, where we find two disciples on the roadto Emmaus. They had disappointed, discouraged hearts, and were sad until Jesusopened their eyes. Emmauswas a small village eight miles northwest of Jerusalem. The two men walkingfrom Jerusalem to Emmaus were disappointed and discouraged disciples who had noreason to be discouraged. They had heard the reports of the women that the tombwas empty and that Jesus was alive, but they did not believe them. They hadhoped that Jesus would redeem Israel (Luke 24:21), but their hopes had beenshattered. We get the impression that these men were discouraged anddisappointed because God did not do what they wanted Him to do. They saw theglory of the kingdom, but they failed to understand the suffering. Jesusgraciously walked with them and listened to their "animated heatedconversation" (Luke 24:17, Wuest). No doubt they were quoting various OldTestament prophecies and trying to remember what Jesus had taught, but theywere unable to put it all together and come up with an explanation that madesense. Was He a failure or a success? Why did He have to die? Was there afuture for the nation? Thereis a touch of humor in Luke 24:19 when Jesus asked, "What things?"He had been at the heart of all that had happened in Jerusalem, and now Hewas asking them to tell Him what occurred! How patient our Lord is with us asHe listens to us tell Him what He already knows (Romans 8:34). But we may come"boldly" ("with freedom of speech") to His throne and pourout our hearts to Him, and He will help us (Ps. 62:8; Heb. 4:16). Thelonger Cleopas talked, the more he indicted himself and his friend for theirunbelief. What more evidence could they want? Witnesses (including Apostles)had seen the tomb empty. Angels had announced that Jesus was alive. Witnesseshad seen Him alive and heard Him speak. The proof was there! "Faithcomes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Thisexplains why Jesus opened the Word to these two men as the three of them walkedto Emmaus. Their real problem was not in their heads but in their hearts (seeLuke 24:25 and 32, and note v. 38). They could have discussed the subject fordays and never arrived at a satisfactory answer. What they needed was a freshunderstanding of the Word of God, and Jesus gave that understanding to them. Heopened the Scriptures and then opened their eyes, and they realized that Jesuswas not only alive but right there with them! Whatwas their basic problem? They did not believe all that the prophets had writtenabout the Messiah. That was the problem with most of the Jews in that day: theysaw Messiah as a conquering Redeemer, but they did not see Him as a SufferingServant. As they read the Old Testament, they saw the glory but not thesuffering, the crown but not the cross. The teachers in that day were notunlike some of the "success preachers" today, blind to the totalmessage of the Bible. Maythe Lord help us to get into the Word and give Jesus and the Holy Spirit timeto open our eyes to the Truth! Remember Jesus parting words to His disciples: “…andlo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Godbless!

They walk through what the footage reveals, how it changes public perception, and why the narrative is finally collapsing under its own weight. The duo then turns their attention to the latest lawfare headlines: Michigan's voter roll purge scandal, the left's silent panic over rising election scrutiny, and the importance of separating emotional outrage from strategic thinking. Ashe and CannCon also debate the growing sense of political fatigue, and whether that's the point of prolonged psychological warfare against the American public.

The rest of the show is a deep dive into a newly declassified oversight report authored by Derek Harvey, kept hidden by the CIA for years. Herold uncovers shocking revelations: that Clinton's campaign approved a plan to falsely tie Trump to Russian hackers, that Russian intelligence held damaging info on Clinton's health and state of mind, and that U.S. intelligence repeatedly withheld or altered findings to favor a specific narrative. He connects the dots from Brennan to Comey, CrowdStrike to Ukraine, and lays out how the fabricated ICA judgments laid the groundwork for Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller probe. This is one of Herold's most explosive episodes yet, revealing a web of deceit at the core of the Russia hoax.
In this episode of Badlands Book Club, Ashe in America and CannCon tackle Chapter 7 of Overruled, where Gorsuch and Nitze dissect the blurred lines between Congress, the executive branch, and the ever-expanding regulatory state. Ashe breaks down how Congress has increasingly outsourced lawmaking to unelected bureaucrats, creating an alphabet soup of agencies that operate outside traditional checks and balances. CannCon raises the question of accountability, especially as courts defer to agency interpretations in the absence of clear laws. They explore how political cowardice and convenience have allowed regulatory bodies to become the de facto lawmakers of the land, with little regard for voter input or constitutional limits.

He warns that elections are now untrustworthy by design, not by accident. Drawing from real-world examples and battlefield-tested leadership, Colonel Smith urges Americans to reject the comforting illusion that someone else is fixing the problem. Instead, he calls for civic courage and mass local engagement, arguing that only organized citizens can restore trust in the vote.

Blunt, urgent, and deeply motivating, this episode issues a clear call: get involved now, or surrender your voice forever.

The hosts explore claims that crucial evidence has been doctored or suppressed to protect entrenched power networks linked to Russiagate and election interference.

50 years ago Jimmy Connors was at the top of his game and ready to defend his Wimbledon title from a year ago… coming into the finals at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Jimbo hadn't lost a set to any of his 6 opponents. Arthur Ashe was a huge underdog against the World's #1 player and in fact, many of Ashe's friends didn't attend the match for fear of Jimmy winning convincingly like he had the year prior over Ken Rosewall. But Arthur had different plans… and a strategy that worked perfectly against Connors… The normally hard-hitting Ashe implemented a softer approach, with lobs and drop-shots that kept Jimmy off balance for much of the match… and when it was all said and done, the 40-1 longshot had pulled off one of the biggest upsets in tennis history in becoming the first black man to become a Wimbledon champion winning in 4 sets, 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4. Already the first black men to win the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, Ashe cemented his place as a tennis legend with this third and final grand glam victory, this one being the least likely of the three. Ashe would win 76 Singles titles in his career, but only 9 more after his Wimbledon triumph, with his final one coming in September of 1978. 18 months later at the age of 36, he retired from tennis and set his sights on bigger things… Like changing the world. The humble athlete wasn't as vociferous as Muhammad Ali when it came to his stances… but he was every bit as effective in getting his point across. He became an advocate for Civil Rights, stood up against South Africa's Apartheid, and founded the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS after contracting HIV from a blood transfusion. He died at the age of 49 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously by President Bill Clinton as well as an award for lifelong contributions to humanitarianism named aptly, the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year Award in 1993. His life off the court was more impressive than his Hall of Fame career on the court and was chronicled in the documentary ‘Citizen Ashe', directed by Rex Miller and Sam Pollard. Miller grew up a fan of tennis and of Ashe and after a chance encounter with Ashe's widow, Jeanne Moutoussamy, the film had her blessing and Miller's expertise. The result being a wonderful sports doc that the New York Times said “Ashe's story certainly has moments of great drama and high tension, but, as a sports figure, he inspired decidedly undramatic sobriquets like 'the gentle warrior.' This documentary shows you a truer, sharper picture.” Rex Miller tells us how Ashe came up with the strategy that beat Connors in 75 at Wimbledon and how Connors dropped a lawsuit against Arthur the day after the match in England concluded. He tells the story of how he found lost audio tapes of Ashe, that became the primary voice of his film and a goldmine for a director. He recounts how being recruited by UCLA changed his life and how winning at Wimbledon was the crowning moment of his career which gave him a new sense of credibility and opened up his ability to effect change for the rest of his life. It's a show about a tennis player who was much, much more than that. Rex Miller helps tell the story of Arthur Ashe in his film ‘Citizen Ashe' and he does it again on the Past Our Prime podcast.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, Ashe in America and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dissect Jerome Powell's rumored departure from the Federal Reserve and what it could mean for Trump's mission to overhaul the global financial order.

In this mind-bending episode, Ashe in America welcomes Draza Smith for an unprecedented deep dive into the mechanics of election systems and the hidden patterns behind vote counts. They kick off with headlines about Ken Paxton's investigations and divorce scandal, lawsuits over New York's 2024 election, and Wisconsin's missing ballots, before diving into Draza's groundbreaking research. Draza explains her discovery that vote totals in numerous counties consistently return to predictable set points, behaving less like random human choices and more like engineered outcomes governed by probabilistic models. She details how cast vote records, when sorted in different ways (what she calls the “Arapaho Twist”), reveal mathematically improbable patterns, like “partisan parallel motion”, across races, states, and vendors. The discussion escalates into her theory that the deterministic decay curves used in quantum mechanics can model elections with uncanny accuracy, suggesting outcomes are pre-calculated to reach a ratio no matter how many ballots are processed. With charts, analogies, and lively back-and-forth about election integrity, transparency, and why “glitches” are never just glitches, this episode challenges everything you think you know about vote counting, and offers a radical framework for understanding how it might really work.
In this episode, Ashe in America and CannCon continue their deep dive into Overruled, focusing exclusively on Chapter 5, “The Forgotten Americans.” The reading unpacks how America's sprawling regulatory state punishes the poor, religious minorities, and small businesses while favoring entrenched corporate interests. Listeners hear the story of Amish families in Minnesota forced into years of litigation over septic system mandates that violated their faith, and the monks of St. Joseph Abbey, who battled Louisiana regulators just to sell handmade caskets. The discussion draws striking parallels to today's economic landscape, where overregulation crushes small farmers and fishermen, fueling consolidation and dependency. Ashe and CannCon reflect on James Madison's warnings about endless laws eroding liberty and fairness, and explore how COVID-19 policies accelerated these dynamics, destroying thousands of small businesses while enriching mega-corporations. They close by brainstorming the next book selection and encouraging the audience to suggest titles, all while sharing plenty of banter about the absurdities of modern compliance culture and the unintended consequences of bureaucratic control.
In this high-energy episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a torrent of explosive headlines. They start with the Houthis' missile and drone strike on a Greek cargo ship in the Red Sea, analyzing whether the timing was meant to provoke a wider conflict just as Netanyahu met with Trump. The discussion moves to Trump's comments on sending more defensive weapons to Ukraine and Putin's unusual public deference when taking Trump's call mid-event. The hosts then dismantle the DOJ's claim there was no Epstein client list and no credible blackmail evidence, pointing out contradictions and gaps in the official narrative. They examine the bizarre missing minute of prison footage and debate whether Ghislaine Maxwell is quietly cooperating behind the scenes. On the domestic front, they cover ICE sweeps in Los Angeles that set off citywide meltdowns, including dramatic demands for federal agents to leave. Rounding out the show are chilling details about coordinated attacks on ICE and Border Patrol, signs that violence could escalate as Democrats float ideas about civil disobedience and even martyrdom. With sharp humor and relentless skepticism, this episode challenges the official stories from every angle.
In this episode, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes take a deep dive into the global agenda hidden behind the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. They break down how seemingly noble objectives like ending poverty, achieving gender equality, and promoting clean energy are actually mechanisms for centralized control, economic redistribution, and cradle-to-grave indoctrination. The conversation weaves through historical examples of propaganda, the erosion of national sovereignty, and the use of fear, from climate change to pandemics, to steer public compliance. The hosts reflect on why so many institutions appear to be designed to weaken families, reward dependency, and strip away personal agency. Alongside this sober analysis, they highlight the emerging cultural shift: a renewed interest in faith and truth, especially among younger generations seeking something authentic beyond engineered narratives. With humor and candor, they explore why the establishment's desperation stems not just from losing an election but from losing their grip on a planned global order, and why that unraveling might be the greatest hope of all.

On this special Fourth of July episode, CannCon and Ashe in America celebrate Independence Day with humor, reflection, and sharp analysis. They open with a tribute to Whitney Houston's iconic national anthem performance before diving into major headlines. The hosts break down the Supreme Court's decision to hear challenges to state bans on transgender athletes in girls' sports, sparking a candid discussion about biological differences and fairness in competition. They also react to President Trump's signing of the massive “Big Beautiful Bill,” debating whether the historic spending package is a necessary tool for achieving the golden age or just another bloated omnibus. The conversation shifts to a sobering case: a Tennessee man sentenced to life in prison for conspiring, without action, to attack federal agents, prompting a larger critique of unequal justice, January 6th prosecutions, and the erosion of trust in institutions. Ashe and CannCon wrap up with laughs about fireworks mishaps, Deadwood karaoke traditions, and their cautious optimism that America's quarter millennial celebrations might usher in real accountability.
Alex Ashe's story doesn't begin behind a camera. It begins with a battered lighting technician's manual clutched between takes, with sweat on his brow and questions on his tongue. From long nights rigging lights to quiet hours studying lenses, Ashe's climb through the grip and electric department shaped the sensibility he brings to the frame today. Now a cinematographer and director, his images carry that hard-earned precision and a belief that light is never neutral. In this episode, Ashe discusses the layered politics of light and shadow, from his work on Nosferasta, an anti-colonial Rastafarian vampire epic, to The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire, shot almost entirely on 16mm in the relentless Florida sun. His collaborations with artists like Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and Ira Sachs open a conversation about the deep trust between director and DP, where every decision—from pulling the exposure to choosing glass—is both a technical and philosophical one. But this is also the story of a filmmaker who questions images even as he makes them. Ashe grew up in the age of Netflix DVDs and arrived at cinema through theory, through The Battle of Algiers, through late-night rewinds. His education in Modern Culture and Media and Africana Studies taught him to interrogate the frame—and that mindset infuses all his work, whether shooting the surreal aftermath of a police shooting or chasing natural light in a cramped apartment. Visual Intonation is a show about how we see, and in this conversation, Ashe shows us how cinema can still be both a document and a dream. We talk risk, reverence, and the beauty of shooting on film. No gimmicks. Just a love for the image and the meaning inside it.

An inspiration, a politician, a pioneer on and off court - these just some of the words used to describe Arthur Ashe, who became the first African-American to win the men's Wimbledon singles title against Jimmy Connors in 1975. It was one of the most iconic sporting moments of the 20th Century at a time of huge political and racial unrest. Ashe's life spans America's Civil Rights struggle, the ending of South Africa's system of apartheid and his creation of an awareness of the disease that would eventually kill him - Aids.BBC Tennis correspondent Russell Fuller tells his story, hearing from amongst others, former players John McEnroe, Serena Williams, Stan Smith, his agent Donald Dell and his brother Johnnie Ashe.
In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapter 4 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, titled “Sword of Damocles.” The hosts dive into the story of racing legend Bobby Unser, who survived a deadly snowstorm only to be charged as a federal criminal for straying onto protected land. They explore how this case, and dozens like it, illustrate the explosive growth of federal criminal law, the erosion of mens rea standards, and the weaponization of vague regulations. Ashe and CannCon highlight shocking examples of ordinary Americans criminalized for minor infractions, from orchid collectors to schoolchildren charged over harmless pranks. The conversation also touches on the Supreme Court's weakening of the rule of lenity, the explosion of plea bargains replacing jury trials, and the unchecked power of bureaucracies to write laws ordinary citizens can't even locate, let alone understand. Drawing parallels to the January 6 prosecutions, they warn about a justice system that has become an engine of coercion rather than accountability. This is a sobering, detailed look at the hidden architecture of modern tyranny, one regulation at a time.

They also dive into a thought-provoking discussion on modern feminism, exploring whether the movement's promises of empowerment have actually left women more isolated and disillusioned. Ashe breaks down the biblical model of the Proverbs 31 woman, and the panel debates how to balance traditional family roles with personal freedom. In between, they cover the science of frisson, those goosebumps when a song hits just right, and swap clips of music that move them to tears. From possum trivia to childhood Mary Poppins programming, this episode is equal parts heart, humor, and cultural critique.
Abbey Blue Eyes and Ashe in America sit down with Jordan Sather for an expansive discussion bridging health activism and the mysteries of human consciousness. Jordan kicks off by unpacking RFK Jr.'s efforts to defund Gavi and dismantle Big Pharma's chokehold on small supplement makers. From there, the conversation dives into genetically modified foods, glyphosate-laden crops, and the corporate collusion between Monsanto and the FDA to keep Americans sick. The second half veers into the “woo,” exploring remote viewing, astral projection, and the nature of consciousness as an untapped human birthright. Jordan lays out how our DNA might act as a fractal antenna linking us to a morphogenic field, while the hosts debate whether these abilities are divine gifts or gateways to manipulation. They also examine the moral hazards of a future where secrets disappear, and humanity becomes a shared hive mind. Interwoven throughout are biblical references, Star Wars metaphors, and sharp questions about the hidden hand shaping both our food supply and our collective psyche. It's a thought-provoking exploration of corruption, spiritual sovereignty, and the possibility of reclaiming our innate power.
In this episode of the Office of the CFO Podcast, John Siefert hosts Rob Ashe, VP of North America, SignUp Software, and Blaine Grzegorek, Senior Solution Architect, Sikich, for a conversation on the benefits of partnering with ISVs, top considerations when selecting an ISV, and the impact of AI agents.Key Takeaways: Risks of building your own solutions: One major risk that's becoming more prominent is having the expertise in-house to build custom solutions. Another hurdle is the upfront costs compared to subscription costs associated with many ISVs. Oftentimes, Ashe notes, "You have to spend a lot of capital on new tools...to make this new solution or change a process." Grzegorek suggests a third challenge which is meeting compelx needs. Oftentimes, industry expertise is also required, as you may be able to build the technology but might not be ready to translate the business needs to the ERP.Benefits of partnering with an ISV: A big reason organizations turn to ISVs is that they develop purpose-built solutions to address multiple different situations and multiple industries. "That's what I've found clients like about it, there might be a core functionality out of the box but it doesn't really handle every scenario," Grzegorek says. Working with ISVs provides expertise in various industries to consult with to address specific issues and needs.Considerations: Because ISVs work on these types of projects regularly, they are aware of more elements to take into consideration. For instance, Ashe describes how ISVs look at the landscape within Dynamics 365. It's important to consider how the solution will integrate with existing systems, how it will impact security, where data is being sourced from, and more.Selecting an ISV: When selecting an ISV, there are some qualities you should look for to ensure unexpected situations are taken care of. "The documentation they have, that speaks a lot to what they're able to contribute on an ongoing basis," Grzegorek says. Clients are looking for partnership, and working with an ISV is a partnership. You want to be confident that you can reach out to your ISV and get answers right away. "It's hard to see that before you actually start that partnership, so I go to that documentation of what the solution has, what it solves, and if that stuff is detailed...that is a huge indicator." Initial interactions with them are also a good sign of this.Multiple ISV solutions from a single vendor: It's always beneficial to have an ISV that can provide multiple solutions in different areas. One thing to look out for, Grzegorek highlights, is to make sure that the ISV has good alignment internally. Integration time is also a major focus, considering whether you have to integrate or if it's embedded in the system.AI agents and Microsoft Dynamics 365: While the solutions themselves are very powerful, AI agents can add a new level of efficiency. Ashe shares an example of how individuals are now running teams of agents to automate various functions. There are agents fulfilling individual functions within Dynamics 365 that customers are already using, so SignUp Software is like an extension of the platform and the workload. "We feel like we have a really strong value proposition to bring back to Microsoft to leverage the strength and the roadmap of the platform, but then also have immediately valuable solutions that they can take advantage of now," Ashe says.This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software.

In this expansive episode of The Narrative, the Burning Bright and Ashe in America dive into the swirling chaos defining 2025 and explore how Donald Trump masterfully maneuvers through it all. The show opens with reflections on the darkness seeping through modern society before unpacking the Israel-Iran saga, Supreme Court “shenanigans,” and the controversial “big beautiful bill.” They analyze Trump's strategic use of narrative warfare, likening his approach to game theory and parenting, carefully calibrating how much truth the public can handle without losing control of the battle space.

In Episode 130 of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Garland Favorito for a marathon session dissecting Georgia's election controversies.

The hosts break down Trump's sweeping executive order mandating proof of citizenship, banning QR-coded ballots, and forcing recertification of vulnerable voting systems. They discuss how Dominion's machines store encryption keys in plain text and the discovery of compilers that could inject malware into election servers. Garland explains how Georgia's laws were rewritten to protect BMD systems despite bipartisan opposition, and why his lawsuits and preservation orders are still stuck in a rigged judicial maze. The episode also exposes how figures like David Becker built a self-appointed “expert class” to gaslight election officials and the public about vulnerabilities they privately admit exist. Closing out, CannCon and Ashe highlight the desperate narrative shift among Democrats insisting Trump rigged 2024, and why the fight for transparency is just getting started.
On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America break down the recent sweeping purge of truth-telling accounts across social media, including key patriot voices like Eye on the Right and Graphene.

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into Chapter 3 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, titled “Bureaucracy Unbound.” From absurd federal overreach involving magician rabbits and Hemingway's six-toed cats to the unchecked power of unelected regulators, this chapter is a scathing critique of the modern administrative state. The hosts unpack Gorsuch's legal insights and historical context, highlighting how agencies now blur the lines between legislative, executive, and judicial powers.
