Summary Gary opens with a travel update from his five-day trip to Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, where he saw icebergs, humpback whales, and puffins, and spent time with close friends far from the noise of American politics. What he carried home was not just great memories. It was perspective. The ordinary Canadian citizens he met in small fishing towns had no interest in strife. Like Americans, they wanted to enjoy life, be around family, and build something better for the next generation. That reminder of shared Western values set the tone for everything that followed. The core of this episode is a deep-dive into Calvin Coolidge's speech at the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Gary reads key passages and draws striking parallels to the present: revolutionary anarchism, socialist and communist movements, radical labor organizations, and white supremacist groups all posed serious threats to the republic in 1926. Coolidge's response was not despair. It was a call to recommit to the founding principles, particularly the spiritual and moral bedrock on which the Declaration itself rests. Gary's message is direct: if America held together then, with arguably worse conditions and fewer tools, it can and will do so again. The 250th celebration this July is not a partisan event. It is an American one. Key Takeaways The ideological threats Americans face today, including anarchism, socialist ideology, and racial division, are near-identical to what Calvin Coolidge addressed in 1926, and America came through that period stronger. Coolidge argued that the founding principles in the Declaration of Independence are final, not subject to revision, and that those who seek to revise them are moving backward, not forward. True national unity around the 250th celebration is possible and essential, and should not be surrendered to political framing from any direction. Removing spiritual and religious foundations from public life is a deliberate strategy to weaken America, and recognizing it is the first step to resisting it. AI and real-time fact-checking have shifted the information balance in favor of citizens, giving genuine cause for optimism about where things are headed.

[00:02:18 - 00:04:45] Reflecting on ordinary Canadians in small fishing towns, Gary finds confirmation that shared Western values are alive, and carries that perspective home as a reset on political noise. [00:04:46 - 00:06:06] Gary addresses the 250th celebration, the political forces trying to reframe it, and why Americans across the spectrum should refuse to let those forces win.

[00:31:04 - 00:33:10] Gary closes with a call to link arms across political lines, celebrate the 250th as all Americans, and keep perspective on how extraordinary and hopeful this moment actually is.

It is interesting to know that Father's Day, which this year will be celebrated on June 16th, was, ironically, inspired by a Mother's Day sermon. Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, a Spokane Washington artist, is credited with fostering Father's Day. She got the idea while listening to her minister deliver an impassioned sermon on motherhood. Mrs. Dodd's mother had died young, so her father had to raise 6 children alone. As she listened to the minister, praise mothers for the hardship they endured in raising their children and tending to all the family needs. She reflected on her father's sacrifices, and speculated that there must be other fathers whose similar sacrifices went unrecognized. In a letter to the president of the Spokane Ministerial Association, Mrs. Dodd proposed a day to honor fathers. She suggested June 5th, her father's birthday, the association approved the idea, and the Spokane YMCA publicized it. However, the suggested date didn't allow the ministers enough time to prepare sermons, so the celebrated was scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in June. Thursday on June 19th, 1910. Spokane became the 1st city to honor fathers with a special day. A strong push for the National Father's Day came from Harry C. Meek, a president of the Uptown Lions Club of Chicago. Through the lions, or though the lions crowned him the originator of Father's Day, Meek admitted that the idea 1st occurred to him in 1915. 5 years after Mrs. Dodd's suggestion. He suggested it in speeches before several Lions Clubs, and the idea caught on. The following year, President Wilson's participation in Father's Day ceremony by pressing the button in the nation's capital which unfurled the flag in Spokane. Despite this national gesture, many sections of the country did not take part. President Coolidge also showed interest in creating a national day to establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children while in office. And in 1936, the National Father's Day committee was formed in New York City to promote the celebration actively on the national level. It was in 1957 that Senator Margaret Chase Smith stated that the official recognition of Mother's Day required that Father's Day receive the same honor. She stated that, “Congress has been guilty now for 40 years of the worst possible oversight, to say the least, perpetuated against the gallant of fathers, young and old of our land,” she said in her proposal. It was in 1972, the long wait for a national recognition came to an end when President Nixon signed the congressional resolution giving Father's Day the same status as Mother's Day. And so, now we know the rest of the story about Father's Day. Celebrate Father's Day, 2002. Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea Written by Dr. Luetta G Werner.

Look, for this episode of “This Looks Like a Good Place for a Stickup,” we're dealing with the world of art theft and art forgery. Interesting stuff! No, neither of us had heard of this movie before, despite the intriguing cast, which includes Kurt Russell, Jay Baruchel, Matt Dillon and . . . Terrance Stamp? Really? Yes, really! In honor of this movie, Mike and I are attempting to replicate one of the masterworks of the 19th Century artist Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. Getting the color balance right, matching the elegance and superb attention to detail is no easy task but I have faith in Mike's superlative skills. This work from 1903, a later piece, is famous around the world and will surely fetch us a serious pile of cash. I'm fairly certain there have been no copies or reproduction of the seminal piece. Gaze up on a rare image of the legendary painting and wonder: the next time you see it on loan from some famous museum, will you ever truly know if it's the original . . . or is it ours. Also, give a listen about the movie! The Coolidge. Poll question: Which actor do you think just doesn't get enough work?

President Calvin Coolidge, known as “Silent Cal” for how rarely he spoke on anything, was once asked after church what the preacher had talked about in his sermon. “Sin,” Coolidge said. The reporter pressed: “Well, what did he say about it?” Coolidge replied: “He was against it.” That covers it pretty well. God is against sin. His Word is against sin. His holiness is against sin. And the cross of Jesus Christ is what God did about sin. In I John, the Apostle writes to two groups of people: those who believe they're saved but aren't, and those who are saved but aren't sure they are. John is now going to deal with a problem that vexes every believer, and the closer you walk with God, the more it frustrates you: the daily battle with sin. Every single day of your Christian life is a battle. And John has three profoundly encouraging truths to take with you to your battle station and help you win.

3. A Roast in Chicago: The Republican Convention Guest: David Pietrusza At the sweltering Republican Convention in Chicago, Warren G. Harding emerged from a field of better-funded candidates like Leonard Wood and Frank Lowden.

6. Republicans struggled to find a challenger, eventually selecting Kansas Governor Alf Landon. Known as the "Kansas Coolidge," Landon had balanced his state's budget but lacked Roosevelt's charisma. Pietrusza notes Landonwas an unremarkable campaigner whose poor radio presence proved a significant disadvantage in the modern era. 61936 WARM SPRINGS

With her award-winning first feature Blue Heron rolling into theatrical release, writer-director Sophy Romvari returns to the podcast to unpack Martha Coolidge's devastating 1975 documentary Not a Pretty Picture, in which Coolidge enlisted a group of actors to re-create her own sexual assault and explored the effect the project has on her cast, and herself. Your genial host Norm Wilner has never seen anything like it.

L'histoire commence avec une anecdote célèbre impliquant Calvin Coolidge, président des États-Unis dans les années 1920. Lors d'une visite dans une ferme, sa femme observe un coq particulièrement actif et demande combien de fois par jour il s'accouple. “Des dizaines de fois”, répond le fermier. Elle suggère alors que cette information soit transmise à son mari. Quand le président apprend la nouvelle, il pose une simple question : “Toujours avec la même poule ?” — “Oh non, une différente à chaque fois.” Ce à quoi Coolidge répond : “Dites-le à ma femme.”Derrière cette anecdote amusante se cache une réalité biologique bien documentée.L'effet Coolidge désigne un phénomène observé chez de nombreuses espèces animales : un individu, souvent le mâle, retrouve un regain d'intérêt sexuel lorsqu'on lui présente un nouveau partenaire, même s'il vient de s'accoupler à plusieurs reprises avec le précédent. Autrement dit, la nouveauté ravive le désir.Des expériences en laboratoire, notamment chez les rats, ont clairement démontré ce mécanisme. Un mâle, après s'être accouplé jusqu'à saturation avec une femelle, cesse toute activité. Mais si on introduit une nouvelle femelle, il repart presque immédiatement. Comme si son “compteur” était remis à zéro.L'explication se situe en grande partie dans le cerveau. Le circuit de la récompense, fortement lié à la dopamine, réagit particulièrement à la nouveauté. Un nouveau partenaire représente un stimulus inédit, donc plus excitant. À l'inverse, la répétition entraîne une forme d'habituation : ce qui était stimulant devient progressivement moins intéressant.Chez l'humain, la situation est évidemment plus complexe. Nous ne sommes pas de simples machines biologiques, et le désir dépend aussi de facteurs émotionnels, culturels et relationnels. Mais l'effet Coolidge semble exister, au moins en partie. Certaines études en psychologie et en neurosciences suggèrent que la nouveauté peut effectivement stimuler le désir, tandis que la routine peut l'émousser.Cela ne signifie pas que le désir est condamné à disparaître dans les relations longues. Mais cela explique pourquoi le cerveau humain reste sensible à la nouveauté, à la surprise, au changement.En réalité, l'effet Coolidge nous apprend quelque chose de fondamental : le désir n'est pas seulement une question de besoin, c'est aussi une question de stimulation. Il est profondément lié à la curiosité, à la découverte, à ce qui sort de l'ordinaire.Et peut-être que le vrai défi, dans une relation, n'est pas d'éviter l'habitude… mais de réinventer sans cesse une forme de nouveauté.

“It's about blood. I cover a lot of bloodshed in the book, but I also talk about a different kind of blood: blood that ties, blood that binds families across time and distance.” — Jazmine UlloaKristi Noem is gone. Under her tenure, 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025 — double the previous year's toll. But Jazmine Ulloa, the New York Times' national immigration reporter, doesn't think much will change. Noem wasn't really the point, she insists. The MAGA spectacle rolls on. Stephen Miller's violently anti-immigrant agenda remains. And hysterical conservatives like Peter Schweizer are still writing books about how the Mexican government is “weaponizing” immigration by sending their people over the border.Ulloa grew up three minutes from the Walmart where a self-proclaimed white supremacist drove nine hours from North Texas in August 2019, opened fire, and told an officer he was there to kill Mexicans. Her closest friend's father escaped the parking lot as the shooting started. And it inspired her to write El Paso: Five Families and 100 Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory — a chronicle of El Paso as the 21st century Ellis Island.Her argument, made through five families over a century, is that El Paso is not an exception to America. It is America. Latino identity has always been American identity. The Southwest sat on Mexican land before it was American. The border was never a clean line — it was always a contested negotiation, shifting beneath the feet of families who crossed it for work, for survival, for birthday parties in Juárez. The “detention and deportation machine,” she is careful to note, was built by both parties over many decades. Trump didn't invent it. He simply applied his scattershot cruelty to it.What does feel new, Ulloa says, is how El Paso has become every American city — the same tactics long deployed at the border now rolling into Minneapolis and Chicago, snagging US citizens on the basis of how they look or how they speak. Some think this represents uncharted civil liberties territory. Border communities have been sounding this alarm for years, Ulloa notes. Nobody listened. Perhaps they will now.Jazmine Ulloa's El Paso is also, quietly, a love letter — to the city, to its 80% Hispanic population, to the corrido tradition, to a place where magical realism is not a literary device but a way of life. Ulloa wanted the prose to sound like your tío telling stories over coffee. “Borders or bridges?” is the question El Paso has always been answering for generations. Now America is asking the same question. Five Takeaways•       The Machine Predates Trump: The deportation and detention apparatus dominating today's headlines was constructed under both Democratic and Republican administrations across many decades — a bipartisan inheritance that Trump has amplified but did not originate.•       Noem's Exit Changes Nothing: Relief crossed party lines when she was fired, but Ulloa is clear-eyed: Stephen Miller's agenda remains intact, border crossings remain suppressed, and the same systemic challenges will persist under whoever takes over DHS.•       El Paso Is America's Ellis Island — and Its Mirror: The city, 80% Hispanic and straddling two nations, has long been the place where immigration policy is made in the flesh. American identity has always been a negotiation — never a fixed truth, always contested terrain.•       Nativism Is Not an Aberration: From the Chinese Exclusion Acts to the KKK-backed Johnson-Reed Act of 1924, fear of the outsider has been a structural feature of US immigration policy — not a deviation from American values, but an uncomfortable expression of them.•       The Border Is Moving Inward: What was once contained to border communities — racial profiling, mass sweeps, civil liberties erosions — is now spreading into the American heartland. What Ulloa sees as genuinely new is the response: ordinary citizens coming out in their pajamas to document it. About the GuestJazmine Ulloa is the national immigration reporter for the New York Times. She is a former State House reporter for the Los Angeles Times and previously covered national politics for the Boston Globe. Her new book is El Paso: Five Families and 100 Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory (Dutton/Penguin Random House, 2026). Born and raised in El Paso, she lives there now.References:•       El Paso: Five Families and 100 Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory by Jazmine Ulloa (Dutton/Penguin Random House, 2026).•       Episode 2830: So Are All Immigrants Manchurian Candidates? Peter Schweizer on Weaponizing Immigration — Schweizer's conspiracy-inflected reading directly challenged by Ulloa.•       The Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 — the Coolidge-era immigration law, backed by the KKK, that used national-origin quotas to bar Southern and Eastern European and Asian immigration.•       The El Paso Walmart massacre, August 3, 2019 — 23 people killed by a white supremacist who posted a manifesto echoing the “Great Replacement” theory.•       One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez — the magical-realist tradition Ulloa draws on.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

(00:00:00) We begin with the Art Association of Harrisburg, founded in 1926 by visionary civic leader Gertrude Olmsted McCormick. What began during the Coolidge presidency in a world shaped by world wars, the Great Depression, and seismic cultural change has grown into a 100‑year artistic anchor for the region. Through shifting art movements, evolving technology, and nearly twenty presidential administrations, the Association has remained a beacon for artists, students, teachers, and patrons. We explore the legacy of its founding mothers, the decades‑long leadership of Carrie, the creation of the beloved Gallery Walk, and the storied history of the Bal Masque, which has traveled from the old Penn Harris Hotel to Strawberry Square, the Hilton, and now for its 100th anniversary celebration the King Mansion on April 26, 2026.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on New Years Day.  President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.  In addition, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn't there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Finally, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What if loving your spouse first is the most loving thing you can do for your kids and your country? We open with a hard look at modern parenting and explain why a spouse-first home gives children security, clarity, and a living picture of covenant love they can carry into their own marriages. It's a call to realignment: step back from living through your kids, rebuild the partnership that holds the family together, and let your priorities teach what your words cannot.We lean into Scripture for a sturdy framework. Titus 2 sketches a mentoring culture where older believers model self-control, integrity, and love, training the next generation to build wise, peaceful homes. From the Sermon on the Mount, we sit with the Beatitudes, anger and reconciliation, and the charge to be salt and light—practical guidance for turning conflict into peace and shining in quiet, consistent ways that honor God. The thread is everyday faith lived credibly, so that even critics find little to fault.History adds weight and texture. We highlight FDR's 1934 Christmas message on courage and unity, then connect President Truman's claim that the world's problems yield to biblical principles with Coolidge's warning that our institutions rest on Scripture. The lesson is plain: private virtue sustains public order. A vivid Medal of Honor account of Corporal Orlando F. Boss underscores courage as love in action. We also own a sourcing mix-up and talk about verifying with primary documents—because truthfulness in small details builds trust in bigger ones.If this resonated, share it with a friend who values faith, family, and country.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Also, Ukraine drones blew up a Russian oil tanker. For all the talk of Ukraine losing this war, they are putting up a fight. Ukraine is on the offense!  Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mike delves into the complex relationship between dopamine, romantic relationships, and the Coolidge Effect. The discussion highlights why men often feel the need for a new partner due to a desensitization of dopamine and how our overstimulated lifestyles contribute to this issue. The host explores the impact of modern habits on dopamine levels, the importance of boredom for resetting dopamine sensitivity, and the role of anticipation in maintaining desire. Practical solutions like dopamine resets, engaging in effort-based activities, and ensuring personal growth and solitude are discussed as ways to improve both individual well-being and relationship satisfaction.

If joy feels scarce and the cultural noise won't quit, here's a calmer path forward. We pull together three strands—how we raise our kids, how we ready our souls, and how a nation holds its center—and trace them through Scripture, history, and a timeless Christmas message from President Calvin Coolidge. The throughline is simple: standards matter, humility matters, and joy rooted in Christ outlasts the season.We start with the honest ache we hear from college and trade school students who sense something is wrong. Rather than scolding a generation, we turn the mirror on ourselves: adults set expectations, shape incentives, and model habits. From there, we talk about building homes where discipline and love walk together, and revisit a marriage passage in Proverbs that frames covenant as a mutual promise of delight and devotion. Then Revelation 10 invites us to “take and eat” the open scroll—truth that is sweet and heavy—and to live ready because there will be no more delay. Psalm 138 calls us to humility that God draws near, while Proverbs 30 warns against pride that devours the needy.History gives flesh to principle. The Medal of Honor story of Peter Martin Bohm shows how one brave act can rally the wavering. Coolidge's Christmas message reminds us that the spirit of the season is not about what we give but who we are while we give, and that a nation's strength rests on the strength of its religious convictions. We close with assurance: security in Christ frees us to serve boldly, raise standards kindly, and carry a steady joy into ordinary days.If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Introducing the Future Presidents: FDR, Coolidge, and Hoover — David Pietrusza — This segment introduces the remaining figures who would subsequently achieve the presidency: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. FDR, the ambitious Assistant Secretary of the Navy, was not yet prepared for executive responsibility, and his marriage to Eleanor had already deteriorated into a strained political arrangement. Coolidgeembodied personal integrity and reflected his remote Vermont roots. Hoover, the celebrated engineer and administrator, was so widely respected and non-partisan that both major parties seriously considered him as a potential nominee. 1925 COOLIDGE

Dalton began this tribute edition of Crosstalk, with the following from historian William Federer from his series, "How We Got Here": "On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, WWI ended. Though the ceasefire, called armistice, was signed at 5am in the morning, it specified that 11 am would be the time the actual fighting would cease. Tragically, in the intervening 6 hours of fighting, an additional 11,000 more were killed. Following WWI (the war to end all wars), President Warren Harding, in 1921, had the remains of an unknown soldier killed in France brought to Arlington Cemetery to be buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Inscribed on the tomb are the words: 'Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God.'" "In 1926, President Coolidge began issuing proclamations honoring veterans every year and in 1938, the day became a legal holiday. In 1954, the name Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day to honor all soldiers of all American wars. 4 million Americans served in WWI. 16 million served in WWII. Nearly 7 million served in the Korean War. Nearly 9 million served in the Vietnam War. From the first Gulf War till the present, 7.4 million men and women served in the military." Memorial Day honors those who died while serving, while Veterans Day honors living soldiers. This broadcast served to allow listeners to honor the latter for their efforts.

Send us a textWhat would your calendar say on the witness stand? We open with gratitude and prayer, then hold up a mirror to our last 24 hours—because time tells the truth about what we love. From there we head straight into the home, unpacking Colossians on marriage and family, where respect, sacrificial love, and patient discipline form the quiet backbone of a faithful life. It's not theory; it's Tuesday choices that either strengthen a covenant or strain it.Scripture sets the tone. 1 Peter 4–5 teaches us to expect trials, rejoice when we share in Christ's sufferings, and make sure any pain we bear comes from obedience, not bad decisions. We draw crisp lines between persecution and foolishness, then explore how faithfulness plays out in workplaces, friendships, and marriages that don't always feel fair. Psalm 119 steadies weary hearts waiting for God to act, and Proverbs warns about leaders without understanding and the cost to the poor. Threaded through it all is a call to humility, vigilance, and courage that refuses to trade truth for comfort.We also widen the lens to culture and civic life—lawlessness, corrosive ideologies, and the stakes of assimilation. Drawing on history and quotes from Jefferson and Coolidge, we talk about why principles matter more than slogans, and how a nation keeps its soul when households choose Scripture-shaped virtue over slogans and rage. The throughline is simple and demanding: let your day, your home, and your hope align with Jesus in public and private.

3. The Rise of FDR and Calvin Coolidge's Contrasting Personas David Pietrusza 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, the ambitious Assistant Secretary of the Navy, was considered only for the vice presidency in 1920, often making mistakes on the campaign trail. His marriage to Eleanor had become strained by his long-term affair with Lucy Mercer, transforming into more of a political partnership. This contrasts sharply with Calvin Coolidge, whose marriage was marked by fidelity. Coolidge, Governor of Massachusetts, was admired for his trustworthiness and decisiveness, traits rooted in his remote Vermont upbringing. The segment also introduces Herbert Hoover, the "great engineer" and humanitarian, who served under Wilson and was so popular that both parties considered him for the 1920 nomination; FDR even proposed a Hoover-Roosevelt ticket. 1929 MARCH 4, DEPARTING FOR THE INAUGURATION.

Asian Heritage Chefs in White House History: Cooking to the President's Taste with Adrian Miller and Deborah Chang Come join us to hear about the virtually unknown history of the many Asian heritage chefs who have prepared meals for U.S. presidents extending back more than a century and continuing to the present day. Yet many of their names are largely unknown. Our speakers, Adrian Miller, a two-time James Beard Award-winning author, and culinary authority Deborah Chang, will present stories from their just-published book, Asian Heritage Chefs in White House History: Cooking to the President's Taste. Their book uncovers the stories of these chefs who hailed from China, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand; they were instrumental in preparing meals at state dinners, on presidential yachts, and at Camp David. During the presentation, Adrian and Deborah will spotlight five chefs they featured in their book, Their discussion will begin with the early immigrants who served on presidential yachts, and then delve into the life of Lee Ping Quan, the chef who served Presidents Harding and Coolidge. Their story will continue with the experiences of chefs at presidential retreats, rounding out with profiles of current and former White House chefs. Deborah, who adapted sixty recipes for today's home kitchen, will also share insights on how these chefs have influenced fusion cuisine and American classics. Adrian Miller is a food writer and attorney. A two-time James Beard Award winner, his books include Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time, The President's Kitchen Cabinet: The Story of the African Americans Who Have Fed Our First Families, From the Washingtons to the Obamas, and Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue.

In 2022, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Denver Institute for Urban Studies and Adult College. From 1999 to 2001, Adrian served as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton with his Initiative for One America and went on to serve as a senior policy analyst for Colorado Governor Bill Ritter Jr. Since 2013, Adrian has been the executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches.

They bring us up to speed with all the going-ons in their lives from new jobs, moves, kids graduating to new kids being born! As the show returns so does the show's guest! David Coolidge returns to discuss his groundbreaking new book, Hindu Bhakti Through Muslim Eyes. The book places the Caitanya Vaiṣṇava tradition—devotion to Krishna—into conversation with Islam, tracing a rich millennium-long trajectory of Muslim reflection on Hindu theology and spirituality. The discussion balances between diving deep into the book while at the same time offering a layperson's perspective to the theology and basic tenants of the faith. The discussion is deeply enriched by David's ability to interweave analogs from his own Islamic theological, ethical, and liturgical commitments. This offers not only a unique perspective but a remarkable example of inter-religious scholarship.  About David Coolidge David earned his PhD from the Graduate Theological Union in 2023 and serves as Research Faculty at Bayan Islamic Graduate School. David Coolidge was born in Chicago, and raised in Kenilworth, IL. He has a BA from Brown University and an MA from Princeton University. He converted to Islam in 1998.  From 2008-2013 he worked as a Muslim chaplain, first at Dartmouth College and then again at Brown. From 2014-2017 he taught an undergraduate course on Islamic law and ethics at New York University.  Highly recommend folks go and listen to David's first appearance on the show where he discusses his unique and deeply moving journey to Islam as well as within the Islamic Tradition.
