What does the future of the American workforce look like when you bypass the traditional four-year college track entirely? In this episode of An Educated Guest, we sit down with Kermit Cook, the CEO of Penn Foster, to explore how a distance-learning model founded in 1890 to train coal miners has evolved into a hyper-modern platform educating hundreds of thousands of middle-skill workers. Kermit shares his unique personal trajectory from management consulting and Teach for America to the helm of a massive EdTech ecosystem, explaining the passion for equitable career pathways that drives his work.We dive deep into the booming market of online high schools. Kermit breaks down why an online diploma provides far more robust workforce pathways than a traditional GED, and how a student profile that is largely 37-year-old working women is leveraging asynchronous learning to achieve economic mobility. He pulls back the curtain on the real-world economics of their model, contrasting Penn Foster's $1,600 total tuition against the skyrocketing per-pupil costs of traditional public education.Finally, we tackle the highly anticipated role of artificial intelligence in education. Kermit moves past the San Francisco tech hype to discuss practical, continuous-improvement pedagogy. He reveals how Penn Foster is using AI to analyze exactly where students get stuck in difficult courses, boosting completion rates from 20% to 70%, and how automated outreach allows their human coaches to step in exactly when a struggling adult learner needs a lifeline.

This Day in Legal History: The Burning of the GaspeeOn this day in 1772, a Royal Navy revenue schooner called HMS Gaspee, captained by a notably overzealous Lieutenant William Duddington, ran aground in shallow water in Narragansett Bay while chasing a Rhode Island packet boat called the Hannah. Within hours of the grounding, roughly sixty Providence merchants, sailors, and “Sons of Liberty” — led by John Brown, one of the wealthiest men in the colony — rowed out under cover of darkness in eight longboats, boarded the Gaspee, shot Duddington, and burned the ship to the waterline. The legal significance lies in what came next. The Crown convened a Royal Commission of Inquiry with authority to ship the perpetrators across the Atlantic for trial in England, bypassing colonial juries entirely, a procedural maneuver that the colonies read as a direct attack on the right to jury trial in the vicinage.The Virginia House of Burgesses responded in March 1773 by forming the first Committee of Correspondence, a sustained intercolonial communication network that became, two years later, the institutional skeleton of the Continental Congress. The Gaspee Affair never produced a single prosecution — the commission could not get the colonial governor or the Rhode Island courts to cooperate, and witness testimony evaporated — but it produced something more durable: the colonial conviction that the Crown's willingness to detour around local juries was itself a constitutional grievance worth organizing against. The right-to-jury-in-the-vicinage point that Madison wrote into the Sixth Amendment seventeen years later is, in a real sense, the Gaspee Affair's longest-lived legacy.The Supreme Court on Monday granted, vacated, and remanded the D.C. Circuit's decision in American Gas Association v. Department of Energy, sending the long-disputed Biden-era Department of Energy efficiency rule on non-condensing residential gas furnaces and commercial water heaters back to the D.C. Circuit “for further consideration in light of the position asserted by the Solicitor General.” That last phrase is the operative one. The new Solicitor General, on behalf of the second Trump administration's DOE, told the Court in late April that the prior administration's reading of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act was, in DOE's current view, wrong, and that the rule effectively bans non-condensing units that millions of homes and small commercial properties were built around. A confessed-error from a new administration doesn't automatically win a case, but the procedural vehicle — a grant-vacate-remand, or “GVR” — is the Court's standard way of saying “go look at this again with the new posture in mind” without resolving the merits itself.The trade-group plaintiffs, led by the American Gas Association and the American Public Gas Association, framed the rule from the start as a de facto product ban dressed up as efficiency standards. The environmental and consumer groups that intervened to defend the rule will get another bite at the apple on remand, but their position is harder when their own client agency has switched sides. Watch the D.C. Circuit's case calendar over the next few weeks for an expedited briefing schedule.Supreme Court Vacates Decision Outlawing Gas Stoves, Water Heaters | NewsBustersSCOTUSblog on Monday published a careful overview of an increasingly organized litigation campaign to ask the Supreme Court to overrule Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. The campaign now includes Liberty Counsel, MassResistance, and the Southern Baptist Convention, which last year voted overwhelmingly to urge the Court to reverse the decision. The underlying ground for the push is partly the Court's reasoning in Dobbs four years ago, which gave conservative litigants a road map for unwinding substantive due process precedents, and partly the gradual erosion of public-opinion support for same-sex marriage in one slice of the polling, with Republican support falling from 55 percent in 2022 to 37 percent now. The legal headcount at the Court is, however, the part of the story that is not yet there.Only Justice Thomas has been a consistent vote to revisit Obergefell, having said so in his Dobbs concurrence. Justice Alito, despite being one of Obergefell's original dissenters, recently emphasized in a public speech that he is not suggesting the case should be overruled, citing stare decisis. Justice Gorsuch's dissent in 303 Creative seems to concede that Obergefell is good law and tries instead to carve out specific exceptions to it. None of which is a reason for litigants on the marriage-equality side to relax. The path Dobbs opened up is wider than any single justice's current voting pattern, and the campaign is plainly playing a long game.The next round of test cases on standing and ripeness will start to surface in the lower courts in the next term or two — that is when the campaign's seriousness becomes measurable.The campaign to overrule Obergefell | SCOTUSblogThe third and most constitutionally significant story of the day is one we've been watching: the litigation over President Trump's $400 million ballroom — built on the site of the demolished East Wing — is on track to land in front of the Supreme Court, SCOTUSblog reported Monday. The D.C. Circuit panel that heard the case for more than two hours in late April has not yet ruled, but the questioning made clear that a more substantial opinion is coming and that an appeal to the Court is the likely next stop regardless of which side wins. The legal question is unusually fundamental. The plaintiff, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, argues that the President has no “free-floating” power to construct major federal buildings without an appropriation from Congress, and that the Antideficiency Act and the Public Buildings Act both require the kind of statutory authorization the East Wing ballroom never received.The administration's response, delivered in a tone that several court-watchers described as unusually defiant, has essentially been that construction has “gone too far to be stopped” and that the courts have no role in second-guessing a presidential building decision once the steel is up. The structural separation-of-powers questions here — what does the Appropriations Clause actually constrain, and can a federal court enjoin a President from continuing to build something that is partially constructed — are large enough that the Supreme Court will almost certainly want to take the case if it reaches the high court. Construction, meanwhile, continues. The most likely Supreme Court resolution is a narrow opinion on standing or remedies, with the broader Appropriations Clause questions deferred for another day. We will see.White House ballroom battle may soon arrive at the Supreme Court | SCOTUSblogIn my Bloomberg Tax column this week, I argue that the SALT deduction cap's biggest problem is not that it is unconstitutional, but that it is badly designed. The latest failed challenge, Sims v. United States, involved two New Jersey taxpayers who claimed the cap violated the 10th Amendment, the 16th Amendment, and broader federalism principles. The federal district court rejected those arguments, finding that Congress has broad authority to tax income and decide which deductions are allowed, limited, or denied. My point is that opponents of the SALT cap should stop looking for constitutional defects that courts are unlikely to find and instead focus on forcing Congress to fix the policy it created.I explain that the cap has always been politically loaded: supporters see it as a needed limit on a deduction that benefits many high-income taxpayers in high-tax states, while critics see it as a targeted attack on those states. But unfair or politically motivated tax policy is not automatically unconstitutional. The real weakness, I argue, is the cap's uneven design, especially the pass-through entity tax workaround. Many business owners can effectively get around the cap when state taxes are paid at the entity level, while wage earners, sole proprietors, and many individual taxpayers remain stuck behind it.That creates a serious mismatch: two taxpayers can live in the same state, earn similar income, and face similar state tax burdens, but receive different federal treatment depending on whether one has the right business structure. I argue that this kind of selective relief may be a more promising target for a narrower administrative or legal challenge than another broad constitutional attack on Congress's taxing power. Congress partly recognized the problem when it raised the cap from $10,000 to $40,000, but I note that the fix is temporary, only lightly indexed, and still leaves major structural problems in place. The marriage penalty remains especially glaring because married couples filing jointly do not receive double the cap available to similarly situated unmarried taxpayers.I also criticize the phaseout design because it can create cliffs or marginal-rate spikes that reward tax gamesmanship rather than sound policy. A better fix, in my view, would make the higher cap permanent, index it meaningfully, eliminate the marriage penalty, smooth out the phaseout, and require Treasury to rationalize the treatment of pass-through entity taxes. The lesson from Sims is that courts may uphold the SALT cap, but that does not make it good tax policy. If the cap is unfair, incoherent, or selectively porous, Congress owns that problem.SALT Deduction Cap Falls Short in Design, Not Constitutionality This is a public episode.

Birth Rights, Medical Bills & Maternal Advocacy with Andi Orwoll, Esq In this powerful episode of MaternalRx, Dr. Danielle Plummer sits down with Nevada attorney and founder of Your Legal Doula, Andi Orwoll, to discuss the often-overlooked legal and financial realities families face during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. From navigating IVF paperwork and unexpected C-sections to battling insurance denials and understanding birth rights, Andi shares how her own journey into motherhood inspired her to create a legal advocacy practice specifically for pregnant and postpartum families. This conversation explores the intersection of maternal health, patient advocacy, legal protections, informed consent, workplace rights, and the emotional toll of navigating the U.S. healthcare system during one of life's most vulnerable seasons. In this episode, we discuss: - Why birth rights matter - The legal gaps in maternal healthcare - Insurance denials and surprise medical bills - IVF, fertility care, and the hidden administrative burden - Informed consent and patient advocacy during labor - The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) - The midwifery model of care vs. traditional obstetric care - Maternal mental load and postpartum vulnerability - Why tracking medical records, bills, and receipts matters - Navigating medical bills and insurance appeals Key Takeaways: “Policy never overrides your rights.” Andi explains how many patients are intimidated in medical settings and may not realize they have the legal right to informed consent, respectful care, and bodily autonomy during pregnancy and birth. Birth experiences matter. Even when outcomes are medically positive, the emotional and psychological experience of birth can have lasting effects. Advocacy, education, and support can profoundly shape those experiences. The paperwork burden is real. Pregnancy often comes with overwhelming administrative tasks: insurance appeals, billing disputes, maternity leave paperwork, provider reimbursements, and more — all during an emotionally and physically vulnerable time. Midwives, doulas, OBs, pharmacists, and lawyers all have a role. Maternal healthcare works best when it's collaborative. This episode highlights the importance of interdisciplinary support systems for pregnant families. Track everything. One of the biggest practical pearls from this episode: keep copies of: - Medical bills - Insurance explanations of benefits (EOBs) - Receipts - Appointment dates - Correspondence with insurance companies - Workplace accommodation requests Documentation can make all the difference if problems arise later. About the Guest: Andi Orwoll is a Nevada-licensed attorney and founder of Your Legal Doula, a legal advocacy practice focused on supporting families navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, workplace accommodations, and healthcare systems in the United States. Inspired by her own experience with IVF, an unexpected hospital birth, and overwhelming postpartum paperwork, Andi created Your Legal Doula to help families understand their rights and confidently advocate for themselves during pregnancy and birth. * Follow Andi: - https://yourlegaldoula.com/ - Instagram @yourlegaldoula About the Host: Danielle Plummer is a pharmacist, antepartum doula, and founder of Obstet-Rx.

What does it really mean when scripture says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever?In this throwback solo episode, Megan Farner explores one of the most misunderstood phrases in scripture and challenges the common assumption that "the same" means "unchanging." Drawing from the King Follett Discourse, Lectures on Faith, the Book of Mormon, and broader spiritual principles, she examines how God's consistency may be rooted in perfect obedience to eternal law rather than the absence of growth or progression. Topics include: The true nature and character of God Joseph Smith's teachings on eternal progression The King Follett Discourse Faith as a principle of power The doctrine of Christ and spiritual transformation Eternal laws, agency, miracles, and divine potential What it means to become more like God If you've ever wrestled with questions about God's nature, eternal progression, or the relationship between faith and spiritual growth, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective.Subscribe for more conversations on scripture, spiritual development, temple symbolism, and the path of discipleship.Timestamps00:00 Introduction 00:15 What Does "God Is the Same" Mean? 02:04 Why Understanding God's Nature Matters 06:00 The Problem with "Unchanging" Interpretations 07:05 Joseph Smith on God's Progression 10:47 God and Eternal Law 13:53 The Law of Gender & Divine Partnership 15:31 Polarity, Opposition, and Creation 19:25 Symbolism and the Law of Correspondence 21:59 Thoughts, Agency, and the Law of Attraction 24:40 Faith as a Principle of Power 27:27 Cause and Effect: The Law of the Harvest 29:01 Rhythm, Cycles, and the Doctrine of Christ 29:59 Consecration and the Law of Abundance 31:36 Oneness, Zion, and Atonement 33:03 Scriptural Evidence for God's Consistency 38:25 God as a God of Miracles 43:00 Faith, Repentance, and Spiritual Alignment 44:47 No Variableness, Neither Shadow of Changing 47:42 The Counterfeits of Eternal Law 55:51 Learning to Become Like God 58:16 Divine Potential and Co-Equality with God 01:00:28 Temple Covenants and Eternal Laws 01:01:24 Final Thoughts If you feel called to better understand and embody your divine femininity, consider if our next cohort of Return to the Garden is for you!

Mary Freeman, associate professor of history at the University of Maine, joins Michael Stauch to discuss her new book Abolitionists and the Politics of Correspondence (U Pennsylvania Press, 2026), about how abolitionists harnessed the power of letter-writing to further their political aims. It highlights everyday Americans' involvement in abolition, and shows in particular how women and Black Americans used letters to intervene in politics when other avenues were closed to them. Freeman focuses not only on what people wrote but also how they wrote about it: how they manipulated, exploited, and subverted cultural conventions to make political statements and claims. Highlights include: The inspiration behind the book's striking title; The influence of the “archival turn” on Freeman's analysis of the materiality of letters; A bold new reading of the lives of Angelina and Sarah Grimke, suggesting how their letter writing influenced their activism; How the abolitionist movement grew alongside the rise of the post office; The role of new forms of technology in shaping social movements, yesterday and today. Guest: Mary Freeman is an associate professor of history at the University of Maine, with a focus on the political, social, and cultural history of slavery and abolition. Her writing has appeared in the Journal of the Early Republic and she is currently developing research projects on nineteenth-century Black activism in Maine and on the history of abolitionist archives. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

Freeman focuses not only on what people wrote but also how they wrote about it: how they manipulated, exploited, and subverted cultural conventions to make political statements and claims. Highlights include: The inspiration behind the book's striking title; The influence of the “archival turn” on Freeman's analysis of the materiality of letters; A bold new reading of the lives of Angelina and Sarah Grimke, suggesting how their letter writing influenced their activism; How the abolitionist movement grew alongside the rise of the post office; The role of new forms of technology in shaping social movements, yesterday and today. Guest: Mary Freeman is an associate professor of history at the University of Maine, with a focus on the political, social, and cultural history of slavery and abolition. Her writing has appeared in the Journal of the Early Republic and she is currently developing research projects on nineteenth-century Black activism in Maine and on the history of abolitionist archives. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

He and his wife, Holli, met on the campaign trail while they were students at BYU-Idaho. Today, they live in Shelley with their four kids—all proud Idaho students.Professionally, Ben is a Certified Financial Planner™, Accredited Financial Counselor™, and Behavioral Financial Advisor™.

Let's just say the country is doing a lot right now. And so are we.Trump wants his face on your passport. The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Klay Thompson love-bombed Megan Thee Stallion with a boat named the SS Stallion, a Bentley, and a house — and then cheated on her. And somehow the White House Correspondents' Dinner turned into a whole thing. Ryan bought a new car the same week gas hit $5.15 a gallon in New York. Therapy is a running theme. So is accountability.Oh, and Kehlani dropped a self-titled album on her birthday with Usher, Missy Elliott, Brandy, Cardi B, and more on the features — and Joyhdae owes Ryan an apology she is not going to give him.Heavy week. Good episode.⸻Segment BreakdownThe Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights ActAnd a lot of the same people who swore elections didn't matter are very quiet right now. Joyhdae had a lot to say.

But if you walk in there in person — you know what you're walking into. This follows the Kennedy Center, the commemorative coins, and the gold signature on currency.Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson: It's a WrapKlay named a boat after her. Bought her a Bentley. Had a whole Thanksgiving situation with Megan cooking for his father. Then allegedly cheated anyway. The PBS logo memes came next. The internet was unserious. The conversation was not.The Correspondence Dinner Shooting (That They're Not Believing)Joyhdae worked a fundraiser for President Obama and broke down exactly how much security choreography goes into an event like that. Then she explained why none of what we saw made sense. Ryan brought up Chelsea Clinton and a restaurant in downtown Manhattan. It connects, we promise.Kehlani's Self-Titled AlbumJoyhdae said Kehlani wasn't her ministry. She was wrong. She has since admitted this. Ryan accepted no apology. The album is on repeat and that's the whole story.Dad vs Auntie JokesThe jokes are on point this week. Joyhdae came to play. That's all we're saying.⸻Drop it in the comments: If you've ever been personally offended by gas prices, held complicated feelings about a celebrity breakup, or woken up one day and realized an album you slept on was actually a masterpiece — this one's for you.Drop your take in the comments: • Was the Correspondence shooting staged? • Is Klay Thompson actually a cornball, or did circumstance get him? • Should Joyhdae publicly apologize to Ryan for doubting Kehlani?New episodes weekly.⸻Connect With Us:Email: Virgoseasonshow@gmail.comWebsite: Virgoseasonshow.comYouTube, TikTok & Instagram: @VirgoSeasonShowRyan: @OhBlackRyanJoyhdae: @JoyhdaeSubscribe, leave a review, & hit the bell to turn on notifications. ⸻We're grateful for your continued support.

The majority of our business correspondence is quickly embracing minimalistic content over comprehensiveness. In other words, we are leaning into communications that look like texts instead of letters. If this is you, are you confusing customers more than assisting them? Is your communication becoming too abbreviated and cryptic? Are you creating a cache of customer defections? If so, maybe it's time to be brief, clear and succinct!Support the show
May no longer speaks only in the language of response beginning. It speaks in the language of response becoming visible.The Nine Themes:Theme 1. Response Becomes Visible — The Field Shows What Has Already Begun MovingHarmonic Function Arc: Visible Correspondence InitiationIndividual Field: Movement becomes beneficially trackable in lived reality.External Field: Shows clearer response through timing, communication, support, contact, and environment.Translation: April's subtle movement may now appear through clearer timing, practical openings, or support.Theme 2. Staying in Soul Tone While Movement Increases — Coherence Holds During Outer ChangeHarmonic Function Arc: Movement Without Tone DepartureIndividual Field: Remains in stabilized Soul Tone as external movement increases.External Field: Interacts with the stabilized signal through response, discernment, or choice.Translation: May asks you to stay in Soul Tone instead of managing or securing what is forming.Theme 3. Support Takes More Tangible Form — Receiving Becomes PracticalHarmonic Function Arc: Embodied Support CorrespondenceIndividual Field: Allows support to land without obligation, pressure, or debt.External Field: Presents practical support, resources, openings, timing, or steadiness.Translation: Support becomes usable & grounded w/o requiring self-betrayal or over-functioning.Theme 4. Relational Accuracy Becomes Harder to Ignore — Contact Reveals True FitHarmonic Function Arc: Revealed Contact AccuracyIndividual Field: Feels what can meet the stabilized signal & what requires adaptation.External Field: Reveals alignment through behavior, timing, tone, consistency, and capacity.Translation: Fit becomes clearer. What can meet your Soul Tone feels more structurally compatible.Theme 5. Timing Begins Reorganizing — Delays, Openings, and Pace Become More CoherentHarmonic Function Arc: Temporal RealignmentIndividual Field: Releases timing anxiety and moves with structural correspondence.External Field: Shifts openings, pauses, delays, and accelerations into clearer alignment.Translation: Timing becomes one way the field reorganizes around stabilized coherence.Theme 6. Old Loops Lose Their Reinforcement — Distortion Has Less to Attach ToHarmonic Function Arc: Dissolution of Residual Non-Beneficial Echo StructuresIndividual Field: Withdraws authority from old loops, readiness postures, and adaptive habits.External Field: Reinforces outdated dynamics less as the stabilized signal no longer feeds them.Translation: A familiar pattern may try to repeat, but it may not gain the same traction.Theme 7. Practical Decisions Begin Aligning With Soul Signal — Form Responds to Inner StructureHarmonic Function Arc: Soul Signal Into Practical FormIndividual Field: Chooses from inner architecture rather than urgency, fear, or obligation.External Field: Presents decisions, options, invitations, or pathways that reveal what can take shape.Translation: May becomes practical. Choices may need to be made, form begins responding to Soul Signal.Theme 8. The Body Learns Ease Without Suspicion — Safety With Things Becoming Less HardHarmonic Function Arc: Somatic Permission for EaseIndividual Field: Allows ease, support, and response without mistrusting them or preparing for loss.External Field: Offers cleaner, simpler, less effortful experiences.Translation: Ease is not always a trap. May helps nervous system update its relationship to support.Theme 9. Visible Reorganization Begins — Reality Takes Shape Around the Stabilized SignalHarmonic Function Arc: First Structural FormingIndividual Field: Resides in the stabilized signal while reality begins forming without over-control.External Field: Shows first signs of reorganization through placement, support, relationship, timing, and form.Translation: May closes with the first visible layer of reorganization.

Newly released documents tied to the Epstein files shed light on the long-mysterious blue-and-white striped building on Jeffrey Epstein's private island, Little Saint James. Correspondence shows that Epstein repeatedly referred to the structure as a “mosque,” although its intended purpose shifted over time—at various points being described as a music room, chapel, pavilion, or spa-like bathhouse. Despite those changing plans, Epstein consistently pushed for Middle Eastern-inspired design elements, including specific tiles, a golden dome, and interior features modeled after Islamic architecture.The documents also reveal that Epstein went to unusual lengths to acquire authentic Islamic artifacts, including highly significant items linked to Mecca's Kaaba—Islam's holiest site—such as pieces of the sacred Kiswa cloth. Emails show he leveraged connections with Middle Eastern elites and Saudi-linked figures to obtain these materials, reflecting what appears to be a years-long fascination with Islamic art and culture. However, there is no clear evidence the building was ever used as an actual place of worship, leaving its true purpose ambiguous and adding another layer of controversy to the already infamous island.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein obtained sacred items from Mecca for unusual ‘mosque' on his private island | The Independent

“All these groups from 1945 on said: we can resist any hate group in America, even the Ku Klux Klan, as long as we take them on one at a time. But our great fear is if these right-wing groups figure out a way to communicate with one another in a more instantaneous way — we are in big trouble.” — Steven J. Ross It's not just springtime for Hitler in America. It's winter, summer and fall too. There is what the historian of American neo-Nazism, Steven J. Ross, defines as the “too many Führers Problem.” This, he says, is the central weakness of American neo-Nazism over eight decades. Every far-right leader from the 1940s onward demanded a united fascist movement — and every one of them insisted on being the Führer in charge of it. The result was the permanent fracture of the American far right. That is, until the latest wannabe Führer, Donald Trump, came along. Last week, the Justice Department sided with the Ku Klux Klan. The Southern Poverty Law Center — the country's main watchdog against antisemitism, racism, and far-right violence — was accused of running agents within radical right-wing organisations and using charitable funds for improper purposes. In his new book, The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy, Ross says that this has all happened before. The Secret War Against Hate tells the story of three undercover spy operations — run by the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, and the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League — that infiltrated every fascist, Nazi, and racist group in America from the 1940s through the 1970s. When government fails to protect its citizens, Ross suggests, it falls to citizens to protect themselves. J. Edgar Hoover's FBI was obsessed with communists and mostly indifferent to antisemitism and racism. Rather than the solution, the G-Men were one more problem. In May 1945, a few days before VE Day, the three spy chiefs — working in offices a few blocks apart in Midtown Manhattan — wrote the identical memo on the same day. If right-wing groups, fractured by the “too many Führers problem,” ever found a way to communicate instantaneously with one another, and if one of them ever peeled off into a mainstream political party, they warned, American democracy would be in big trouble. That was their “Too Many Führers Problem.” Springtime for an American Hitler. Today this problem is no longer a joke.Five Takeaways • The Justice Department Sides with the KKK: The opening frame of the interview: last week, the Justice Department accused the Southern Poverty Law Center of running agents within radical right-wing groups and using charitable funds improperly. Ross's argument: the same accusations were levelled at the undercover spy operations run by the ADL, the American Jewish Committee, and the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League from the 1940s onward. Those operations, which operated because government had abrogated its responsibility to protect minorities, foiled plot after plot. The FBI informants doing the same thing were never prosecuted. The pattern — government targeting the anti-hate watchdogs while ignoring actual hate — is not new. • J. Edgar Hoover: The Enemy Within: Hoover ran the FBI from the early 1920s until his death in 1972, and throughout that period he cared almost exclusively about communists. Correspondence with his Atlanta special agent-in-charge referred to the Anti-Defamation League as the “Anti-Deformation League.” Ross stops short of calling him an antisemite and racist — no burning gun — but says the correspondence smells like both. In 1940, the German-American Bund was operating freely in Los Angeles: the LA ports were open to Nazi spies, propaganda, and payoffs in ways that New York's — under the watchful eye of Mayor La Guardia — were not. Because of Leon Lewis's undercover spy network, every Nazi plot in Southern California was foiled. • Three Memos, One Day, Three Authors Who Didn't Know Each Other: In May 1945, a few days before VE Day, the leaders of the three undercover operations — working in offices a few blocks apart in Midtown Manhattan, unknown to each other — each independently wrote the same memo. Their two shared fears: first, that if fractured right-wing groups ever found a way to communicate instantaneously with one another, the resistance would be overwhelmed. Second, that if any of them ever peeled off into a mainstream political party, bringing their antisemitic and racist views into the mainstream, the republic would be in real danger. Both predictions, Ross observes, have now come true. • The Too Many Führers Problem: Every right-wing leader from the 1940s onward called for a united fascist front — and every one of them wanted to be the Führer in charge of it. The result was permanent fracture: each group too small and too self-important to unify with the others. What changed with Trump, Ross argues, is that the far right said: here is our Führer. He is articulating what we say. After Charlottesville — “there are good people on both sides” — the deal was sealed. The internet gave them the ability to communicate instantaneously. Trump gave them the figurehead. The two conditions the 1945 memos feared most had arrived simultaneously. • Jefferson's Long-Term Solution: Educate Everyone: Ross ends his book with Thomas Jefferson — the right wing's own favourite founding father. In his Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson warned that every so often a political huckster would come along and convince Americans that what was good for him was good for the country. Americans would believe it for a while. But a collectively educated citizenry, really studying the issues, would always come out on the side of democracy. Jefferson called for a constitutional amendment mandating universal education in perpetuity. Ross's verdict: look at the voting patterns. Look at what is happening to the Department of Education. The attack on higher education is not incidental. An uneducated public is the most vulnerable public. About the Guest Steven J.

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: Foiled correspondence Assassination plot After the shooting outside the White House Correspondent Dinner, Donald Trump goes on 60 minutes for an interview about the incident. 60 Minutes' Norah O'Donnell reads to the President a brief excerpt from the shooters manifesto that mentions Trump being a rapist and pedophile, Trump responds in the way the guilty people do - by hurling insults. David Griscom, author of The Myth of Red Texas: Cowboys, Populism and Class War in the Radical South joins the program for a conversation about his book. Check out's David's podcast - both of which feature Majority Report's own Matt Lech, The Jacobin Show and Left Reckoning. In the Fun Half: Russell Brand is on a book tour, and it is not going well. Brand flounders on Piers Morgan, failing to find a Bible passage he intends to read on air at Piers' request. In another interview, Megyn Kelly expresses skepticism about the sexual assault allegations against him, saying she believes he is being railroaded by the media. In response to Kelly, Brand goes on to admit things that Kelly was attempting to dismiss. Footage from the White House correspondent dinner incident shows Donald Trump falling, Stephen Miller using his wife as a human shield and RFK, Jr. abandons his wife. Trump spins the shooting into a case for his ballroom and coincidentally a massive amount of right-wing X accounts also tweet demands for a White House ballroom. Ben Stiller's tweet about the Knicks winning gets misinterpreted by right-wingers as a boast about the attempt on Trump's life. At a Substack party over the weekend, Michael Tracey got into a spat with Julie K. Brown. Jim Acosta allegedly stepped in, prompting Tracey to challenge him to a fight outside a Hampton Inn.

Joseph Duggar faces a life felony in Florida and eight misdemeanor counts in Arkansas. His own recorded words may be the prosecution's strongest evidence. His wife has hired separate counsel. His family's private communications are now public. And criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the strategic position is catastrophic.Motta joins Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski to break down what it means to fight two distinct criminal cases in two different states simultaneously — and why the math doesn't work in Joseph Duggar's favor. In Florida, Duggar is charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under twelve and lewd and lascivious conduct stemming from a 2020 family vacation to Panama City Beach. According to the arrest affidavit, he allegedly admitted to the abuse when confronted by the victim's father, then allegedly admitted again during a call monitored by Arkansas detectives. Motta explains what a defense attorney does when the prosecution's most powerful evidence is your client's own voice.In Arkansas, Joseph and his wife Kendra face charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and false imprisonment after investigators reportedly found locks on the outside of their children's bedroom doors. Their four children are in state custody. Kendra told Joseph on a recorded jail call that she'd retained her own attorney — "It's not for you. It's only for me." Motta examines what that legal separation signals to prosecutors and whether Kendra's custody path leads through cooperation.The jailhouse communications tell their own story. Emails from Jim Bob Duggar urging his son to accept the situation. Correspondence with Anna Duggar. Family members reportedly focused on forgiveness rather than the alleged victim. Motta analyzes whether those communications are helping or irreparably damaging the defense.This is the second Duggar brother to face serious allegations involving children. Motta and Dreeke address the pattern, the family culture, and what accountability looks like when the system is designed to protect its own.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

9. Guest: Eric Cline. Archaeologist Cline discusses the Amarna letters, focusing on the prolific correspondence of Rib-Hadda of Byblos. He characterizes these ancient conflicts as proxy wars between the Hittites and Egyptians. Cline notes that the regional dynamics of 3,400 years ago strikingly mirror contemporary Middle Eastern geopolitical struggles. 1922 HOLLYWOOD BLVD AND CAHUENGA
10. Guest: Eric Cline. Cline explores the letters of Abdi-Heba, the ruler of Jerusalem, who balanced local conflicts while appealing to the Egyptian Pharaoh for military aid. The correspondence reveals a world of backstabbing vassal politics and frequent requests for gold, which Egypt occasionally sent as gilded wood. 101923 HOLLYWOOD AND VINE

LONDINIUM CHRONICLES. 3. Gaius and Germanicus explore the 14th-century BC Amarna letters to illustrate the timeless, manipulative nature of imperial diplomacy. These clay tablets record correspondence between Egyptian Pharaohs and their Canaanite vassal kings. The letters reveal a persistent pattern where weak clients would "whine" and act helpless to demand gold, horses, and soldiers from the Pharaoh. They successfully utilized "negative leverage," threatening to defect to the rival Hittite kingdom if their specific demands were not met. (5)The speakers apply this ancient "light motif" to modern relations, noting that client states like Israel and Ukraine are currently very aggressive in leveraging the United States for resources. These vassals have awakened to a strategic truth: the patron often needs the stability of the client's territory more than the client needs the patron, granting the smaller state outsized influence. Germanicus posits that the health of an empire is measured specifically by its ability to effectively "tamp down" or manage these demanding client states. Currently, the U.S. is viewed as weak because it has been "sucked into" strategic liabilities and allowed vassals to "twist its arm," resulting in a significant loss of world authority. This historical parallel highlights that imperial power is rarely about direct colonial control and more about the complex, often manipulative relationship between patron and client. The conversation ends with a critique of the modern emperor's tendency to "double down" on failing strategies. (6)1849
Episode Overview In the third instalment of our series on famine and revolution, we pull away the veil of headline numbers to investigate the visceral, human reality of the Great Hunger in Ireland. This is an exploration of a land filling with desperation, where the brutal biological mechanics of what happens when the human body begins to consume itself take centre stage. We examine the fate of a terrified people, facing ruin triggered by a disease that wreaked havoc on already weak economies. From the folklore of the Fear Gorta to the harrowing clinical reports of the era, this episode explores how a society is transformed when it is blindsided by biological disaster and administrative indifference. Key Topics Covered: The Information Vacuum: Comparing our modern “Ocean of Information” to the terrifying silence of the 1840s, where the sickly sweet smell of rot was a mystery without an immediate answer. The Folklore of Famine: Why stories like Hansel and Gretel and the Navajo Dine Bahane carry the genetic memory of starvation, and the specific Irish harbinger of death: the Fear Gorta. The Structural Cage: A deep dive into the Rundale system and Gavelkind inheritance. We look at why the West was trapped in a cycle of subdivision while Ulster was shielded by the “Linen Shield” and Tenant Right. The Biology of Starvation: Using modern metabolic science and contemporary medical records to explain the “Blue Nose,” the “Sunken Orbit,” and the terrifying reality of Autophagy—the body cannibalising its own architecture. The Refeeding Trap: The physiological reason why a crust of bread could become a death sentence for a heart shrunken by atrophy. Conspicuous Consumption: The stark contrast between the “Workhouse Swineries” and the elite social calendar, including the dinner menus of the Cork Harbour Regatta. The Gregory Clause: How a single piece of legislation—the Quarter-Acre Clause—was used to engineer the clearances and force the starving into homelessness. The Ledger of the Dead: Analysis of the 1851 Census and the 20–25% demographic erasure that redefined Ireland forever. SOURCES Historical Research & Modern Analysis Delaney, Enda.

3. GUEST GAIUS AND GERMANICUS DEBATE N LONDINIUM, SPRING 92 AD. (5)Gaius and Germanicus find historical perspective in the 13th-century BCE Amarna letters, detailing the "sweet" yet deceptive correspondence between Pharaohs and their vassals. They marvel at ancient rascals trading gold-painted wood for favors, drawing a direct line to modern diplomacy where F-35 aircraft have become the new "coin of the realm". Reflecting on Eric Klein's research, they discuss how the high interconnectedness of Bronze Age empires made them inherently fragile. Ultimately, they conclude that the globalization of supply chains today mirrors the ancient world, where the collapse of one power can trigger a civilization-wide cascade.V (6)CLEOPATRA, LAST OF THE PHAROAHS
