Podcasts about consequential

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Like him or not, is Donald Trump the most consequential president of the last hundred years?" On Presidents Day, Michael steps back from partisanship to examine “consequential” in its purest sense—having great meaning or lasting effect. From FDR's New Deal and Reagan's Cold War legacy to Obama's Affordable Care Act and Biden's Ukraine coalition, how does Trump compare? With three Supreme Court appointments, two impeachments, sweeping tax cuts, trade shifts, border crackdowns, NATO tensions, and the ongoing impact of Trump 2.0, has any modern president left a deeper imprint on American politics and institutions?

It's Presidents Day and Chad opens the show with a variety of topics related to the holiday.

In today's rant, Stephen LeDrew argues that this is a consequential year for Canada, and the decisions made now will shape the country for generations.LeDrew pushes back on the idea that Canada can simply “go back” to what it once was. The genie is out of the bottle. But he also rejects the notion that Canadians must tear down everything that generations before them built through war, sacrifice, poverty, and hardship.The rant takes aim at post-nationalism, misinformation about Canadian history, and a culture that replaces facts with guilt. From drug policy and public disorder to school boards pulling books and politicians repeating false claims about slavery in Canada, LeDrew argues that too many institutions have lost their grounding in reality.He calls for Canadians to know their history, defend their culture, and debate ideas openly without censorship or intimidation. Disagreement should not mean silencing. Debate should not mean violence. And improvement should not require self-loathing.This is a call for better municipal, provincial, and federal government, and a reminder that Canada has the resources, intelligence, and moral foundation to do better if it chooses to.Three minutes.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks what may be the most brazen presidential corruption scandal in modern history—Donald Trump allegedly selling U.S. foreign policy to the UAE for personal gain—barely registered in the public conversation, drowned out by louder, more sensational distractions. The discussion explores why Trump’s election-interference rhetoric breaks through while substantive corruption stories vanish, how media incentives favor spectacle over consequence, and why Trump responds selectively to political, market, and institutional pressure. Chuck argues that while some democratic guardrails still hold, the deeper danger isn’t a dramatic coup but the slow erosion of norms—one where kleptocracy becomes normalized, foreign policy is treated as a personal asset, and Congress, not voters, remains the only institution capable of stopping it before the damage becomes irreversible. Then, Historian David S. Brown joins Chuck to unpack why Theodore Roosevelt remains a gravitational force for understanding American power—and why his era echoes so loudly today. Drawing from his book In the Arena, Brown explores what pulled him to Roosevelt, how TR reshaped the presidency, and the surprising parallels (and sharp limits) between Roosevelt and Donald Trump. From narcissism and disruption to populism, primaries, and the rise of the imperial presidency, the conversation digs into how Roosevelt’s wealth, ambition, and genuine concern for the working class produced a uniquely transactional style of politics at home and abroad. The episode also zooms out to ask what Roosevelt might make of modern challenges like AI, extreme wealth concentration, and great-power competition—and whether he’d thrive or flounder in the television age. Brown traces Roosevelt’s foreign policy legacy in Latin America, the roots of American global policing, and how early 20th-century realignments mirror today’s fractured coalitions. The discussion closes with a hard look at the political center, the future of the Trump coalition, under-studied presidents, and how Americans should think about their country as it approaches its 250th anniversary. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states Democrats need to target prior to 2032, when census reapportionment will greatly change the electoral college math needed to win the presidency and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

The pastor concluded with four key observations for reflection and application. 1. Remember Our Love for God is Monotheistic. We worship one true and living God who purposed His saving grace for sinners. We must never forget how dead we were in our sins and how great His grace is to us. Forgetting this diminishes our perspective and love for Him. • Remember Our Love for God is Trinitarian. This one God works out His grace through three glorious persons: The Father planned our redemption, the Son accomplished it on the cross, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our hearts. Understanding the depth of this coordinated, loving work should cause us to love God more profoundly—not just with a base "liking," but with a deep, abiding love. • Remember Our Love for God is Prime. The effect of God's grace should produce both a rudimentary love (phileo) and a profound love (agape). Our love for God must be the primary, foundational reality that informs and impacts everything we do and say. When we fail, this primary love should turn us back to Christ again and again. • Remember Our Love for God is Consequential. The stakes are eternal. One who has no love for Christ is eternally accursed. This truth should produce two things in us: A holy fear and humility, recognizing we did nothing to deserve God's grace. A genuine concern and urgency to pray for and share the gospel with those who do not know Christ, because the gospel brings real hope and has the power to take dead sinners and make them alive. We must not lose heart in praying for and encouraging one another in the faith.

This is Part 9 in a series celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Harvard University Press' 1985 publication of Richard A. Epstein's "Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain." We continue our celebration of this anniversary with a fair use and transformative reading, continuing and now finishing chapter 4 in a new section which Richard calls ""Takings Prima Facia," which makes the analogy between private law takings in the common law harm tradition and the public law takings where the government is a defendant. He titles chapter "Takings and Torts," because he's taking a look at political philosophy and the American constitutional order, how these things interact using argument by analogy with the common law/private law tradition, ensconced as it is in the purpose of the Constitution. That moral purpose is the protection of individual liberty against claims by a simple majority in a democracy, or by the government in a taking of private property. Today we discuss the subsections of Proximate Causation and Consequential Damages from pp. 47 to the end of the chapter on p. 56. At the end, this episode concludes with a reading of Psalm 33 in the NASB version. Excellent stuff here. Excellent. Every college student should read this book. It's a superb introduction to the political philosophy of the American regime. Praise the Lord. We'd like to thank Harvard University Press for making this material available and Richard Epstein for writing it. Make sure you buy the book and follow along. It's very important for you to have your own copy on your own bookshelf, and to begin to master this material. Support your local book dealer. See if they have a copy of it, or if they'd mind keeping an eye out for you. I always encourage buying physical books, objects you can have, hold, cherish, learn from, display on your bookshelf as a topic of conversation, things you can pass on to the next generation with your notes in them, things that do not depend upon electricity. Toward that end: Go to Harvard University Press for more selections available for purchase. Please support the publisher and your local booksellers.

PREVIEW — Brandon Weichert — Jensen Huang and Nvidia's Geopolitical Influence. Weichert identifies Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as potentially America's most consequential and strategically important technology tycoon, arguing he now surpasses Elon Musk in direct geopolitical influence and institutional power to shape American foreign policy and national security priorities. Weichert suggests that Huang's desire to expand semiconductor chip sales into Chinesemarkets is systematically influencing the Biden administration to soften its national security rhetoric and shift from hawkish threat characterization to dovish diplomatic accommodation regarding Beijing, potentially subordinating American strategic autonomy to Nvidia's commercial interests and market access imperatives. 1958

At the height of the civil rights movement, Charles C. Diggs Jr. (1922–1998) was the consummate power broker. In a political career spanning 1951 to 1980, Diggs, Michigan's first Black member of Congress, was the only federal official to attend the trial of Emmett Till's killers, worked behind the scenes with Martin Luther King Jr., and founded the Congressional Black Caucus. He was also the chief architect of legislation that restored home rule to Washington, DC, and almost single-handedly ignited the American anti-apartheid movement in the 1960s. Drawing on extensive archival research, including Diggs's rarely seen personal papers, FBI documents, and original interviews with family members and political associates, political scientist Dr. Marion Orr reveals that Diggs practiced a politics of strategic moderation. Dr. Orr argues that this quiet approach was more effective than the militant race politics practiced by Adam Clayton Powell and more appealing than the conservative Chicago-style approach of William Dawson—two of Diggs's better-known Black contemporaries. Vividly written and deeply researched, House of Diggs is the first biography of Congressman Charles C. Diggs Jr., one of the most consequential Black federal legislators in US history. Congressman Diggs was a legislative lion whose unfortunate downfall punctuated his distinguished career and pushed him and his historic accomplishments out of sight. Now, for the first time, House of Diggs restores him to his much-deserved place in the history of American politics. Our guest is: Dr. Marion Orr, who is the inaugural Frederick Lippitt Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies at Brown University.

He was also the chief architect of legislation that restored home rule to Washington, DC, and almost single-handedly ignited the American anti-apartheid movement in the 1960s. Drawing on extensive archival research, including Diggs's rarely seen personal papers, FBI documents, and original interviews with family members and political associates, political scientist Dr. Marion Orr reveals that Diggs practiced a politics of strategic moderation. Dr. Orr argues that this quiet approach was more effective than the militant race politics practiced by Adam Clayton Powell and more appealing than the conservative Chicago-style approach of William Dawson—two of Diggs's better-known Black contemporaries. Vividly written and deeply researched, House of Diggs is the first biography of Congressman Charles C. Diggs Jr., one of the most consequential Black federal legislators in US history. Congressman Diggs was a legislative lion whose unfortunate downfall punctuated his distinguished career and pushed him and his historic accomplishments out of sight. Now, for the first time, House of Diggs restores him to his much-deserved place in the history of American politics. Our guest is: Dr. Marion Orr, who is the inaugural Frederick Lippitt Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies at Brown University. He specializes in urban politics, race and ethnic politics, and African-American politics. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who produces the Academic Life podcast.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 19:25-27 - Standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple there whom He loved He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows O Most Sorrowful Mother, pray for us Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) What I hope my sons will learn from the life of Charlie Kirk https://catholicexchange.com/what-i-hope-my-sons-will-learn-from-the-life-of-charlie-kirk/ 3) What we know about Erika Kirk's Catholic Faith https://www.ncregister.com/blog/who-is-charlie-kirk-s-wife-catholic-faith 4) Charlie Kirk and his surprising sentiments toward the Catholic Church. There is a lot of evidence that Charlie Kirk was leading his family towards the Catholic Church; not least of all being his public call to venerate the Mother of God https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/charlie-kirk-and-his-surprising-sentiments-toward-the-catholic-church

Sep 14, 2025  GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Consequential Nature of Kingdom FaithMatthew 5:13-161. There is a problem we have to overcome, v. 13! Peter 4:1-4Four ways salt loses its saltiness… a) it is absorbed by its surroundings b) exposure to moisture c) confusion about the purpose of the church d) churches that try to make Christianity interesting instead of making Christians consequential 2. There is a responsibility to embrace, v. 14 a) identity- who God says I am b) activity- what God commands me to do3. True faith is distinguished by the number of people who are affected by it, v. 15-16Mental worship… 1. How is your life distinguishable from the unbelieving world? 2. What environments have been affected by your faith? 3. Do you think you really understand the ramifications of your identity? 4. Does God leaving you here in this world make you think God is missional or mindless?  5. Is the life you are currently living causing others to think about heaven? 6. Which does your faith need more: flavor or illumination?

Trump weighs U.S. strike as Iran's Khamenei says the 'battle begins'

If brand loyalty is so critical, why does it feel like most companies are treating it like an afterthought by propping it up with outdated programs and hoping customers won't notice? Agility requires a complete rethinking of how we approach customer loyalty — not as an afterthought at the end of the funnel, but as a core driver of long-term brand value and experience strategy. Today, we're going to talk about the evolution of customer loyalty and what brands need to do to keep up in a time when consumers have more choices, higher expectations, and less patience. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Raj De Datta, CEO and Co-Founder of Bloomreach.
