This afternoon, Joe began with a discussion on the recent assassination of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Russia's top chemical and biological warfare chief, emphasizing that he wasn't just any Lieutenant General. Joe pointed out that a quick look into the information Igor had exposed makes it clear why Ukraine and the deep state felt the need to take him out. Later, Joe is joined by David Clements and guests Jim Shoemaker and David Robb to discuss all things election integrity, breaking news, and more. Following Jim Shoemaker and David Robb's departure, Joe and David welcomed J6 defendant Cindy Young to the show to share her J6 story.

Your Blood of Kings Highlander Podcast Hosts Kevin Reitzel and Lee Fillingsness discuss one of the best villainous characters in the Highlander TV show... Antonius Kalas.

In a five episode arch Antonius Kalas was an evil Immortal during season 3 of the Highlander TV series. He was the pupil of Brother Paul, and was responsible for nearly bringing not only Duncan MacLeod, but all immortal society to its knees, when he got a hold of a disc containing all the information of the Immortals and the watchers. Lee and Kevin also discuss a recent news article interview with actor Henry Cavill, where he mentions the Highlander movie reboot will begin filming in 2022.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the new hit Marvel Studios movie The Eternals has garnered criticism for its treatment of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki during WWII. Additionally, it has raised the specter of the relationship Marvel Studios with the Pentagon and whether said relationship is ethical or unethical. In truth, its not just Marvel Studios though. Hollywood has a long relationship with the Pentagon dating back to the WWII era. David Saviliev, a contributor to Responsible State, the official publication of the Quincy Institute, joins me on this edition of the program to discuss the often underreported relationship between Hollywood and the military. We also manage to discuss the story of Marvel comics attempting to team up with the arms manufacture Northrupp Grumman and the relationship between Hollywood and the CIA when it came to the (arguably pro-torture) Katheryn Bigelow movie Zero Dark Thirty. Movies mentioned in this episode that were either supported or rejected by the Pentagon include Iron Man, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, Captain Marvel, Independence Day: Resurgence, Michael Bay's Transformers movies, The Avengers, Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge, and Top Gun. We also discuss the China/Hollywood relationship, military involvement in Hollywood and recruitment agendas, the Pentagon's apparent dislike for movies where Will Smith dates a stripper, the Pentagon's definition of "accurate portrayals" of itself in films including anything that is critical or negative being "inaccurate", Captain Marvel and the Air Force's recruitment campaign, taxpayer dollars and the Hollywood/Pentagon relationship, how Pentagon involvement with Hollywood cuts down on movie production costs, Pentagon approval of screenplays, David Robb's Operation Hollywood (a notable book spotlighting Hollywood's military ties), and more!

“those sacred writings, drawn in Egyptian letters” [STUD] If there is one author to whom we owe the rise in popularity of Sherlock Holmes in the mid-1970s, it is Nicholas Meyer, BSI ("A Fine Morocco Case"). It was his novel The Seven Per-Cent Solution (which spent 40 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List) and his screenplay for the film version of the book that put Sherlock Holmes back in mainstream consciousness. Meyer and Holmes have returned with , another Holmes adventure tale that takes us to Egypt in 1910 amid the Egyptomania craze that was running high in Europe at the time. As The Return takes Holmes and Watson on a journey to North Africa, our conversation with Nick takes us on a literary journey spanning 45 years as he looks at how his writing has (or hasn't) changed over that time. We also point out the timely nature of his topics, homages to Conan Doyle, and even get nods to Homer, Edgar Allan Poe, and Agatha Christie.

It has been a long time coming for the Okotoks Dawgs. After a decade of success but no Western Canadian Baseball League championship to show for it, the club went wire-to-wire as one of the league's best teams before knocking off Edmonton, Lethbridge and Regina to claim the 2019 title. Ian Wilson chats with coach David Robb as well as pitchers Brandon Desjardins and Justin Hammergren and Dawgs Academy grad Dane Tofteland about this summer's journey.
David Robb tells how his mentors: his grandparents and parents instilled in him the spirit of giving and looking at the people of the world as one big family. He has founded the cruise line Utopia, as a luxury yacht with 190 private suites, plus a 5-star hotel and resort with a central mission of philanthropy to join people together to help the people of the world.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION & AMERICAN LEGAL PRACTICE An Open Dialogue between David Robb and Maya Wiley Many Americans are experiencing a growing concern for the present and future of our democracy, as we witness the continuing unprecedented assaults by our President and his administration on several pillars of our democratic traditions. These include freedom of the press, separation of and mutual respect among the three major decision-making powers of government, long-standing legal traditions and precedents, and the integrity of our entire legal system and its institutions. Join us and a distinguished guest for a deeper inquiry into what is happening now and its probable long-term consequences for American democracy and its influence in the world. Maya Wiley currently serves as the Senior Vice President for Social Justice and the Henry Cohen Professor of Public and Urban Policy at The New School’s Milano School of Policy, Management and Environment. Maya is also a Legal Analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and a frequent contributor to leading news outlets including Time Magazine, The Guardian, and Essence.com. Before joining the faculty and administration of the New School, in 2014 she served as Chair of the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board, an independent agency for oversight of the New York Police Department, and as Counsel to New York City Mayor, Bill deBlasio. A long time activist on behalf of racial justice and equity, Ms. Wiley has been a litigator and lobbyist, and was the founder and former President of the Center for Social Inclusion, a policy strategy organization that developed programs to transform structural racism in the United States and South Africa. She has also worked with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Open Society Institute. She also served as the Mayor's liaison to the Mayor's Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. Ms. Wiley holds a J.D. from Columbia University School of Law and a B.A in psychology from Dartmouth College.
Shakespeare's Tragic Vision in "King Lear": A Religious Perspective with Rev. David Robb William Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest English dramatist of all time, is especially noted for his originality and experimental genius in several known genres of dramatic literature: history, comedy, tragedy, and near the end of his career, by creating a new genre unprecedented before him later dubbed “romances.” Among all of his plays, "King Lear" stands out as a monumental work, and is now acknowledged by most modern scholars as his greatest achievement. It is frequently compared to Bach’s achievement in the B Minor Mass, Rembrandt’s paintings, Tolstoy’s "War and Peace," or Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Perhaps "King Lear" appears to rise above many of his other great works, especially in our contemporary situation, because, of all his plays, it appears most able to reflect the spiritual dilemmas of our time. In many ways, "King Lear" is a religious drama—not because Shakespeare presents us with clear dogmatic religious options. He does not. But the play forces us to confront profoundly our own spiritual dilemmas—life and death,power and sacrifice, madness and truth, violence and compassion—in compelling ways. This spring, Glenda Jackson, the great English actress, will bring her interpretation of this role—a first for a female actress—to New York after her highly acclaimed performances this past year in London. It seems then a particularly pertinent time to revisit this very powerful work of one of the most imaginative and insightful dramatists of all time. It will also mark the final series of presentations by David Robb in his role as Director of the Adult Education program at All Souls. March 31: "King Lear," Acts 4 and 5 Rev. David Robb is Assistant Minister for Adult Education and Scholar-In-Residence at All Souls. In addition to his ministry with All Souls, he is also a licensed psychotherapist and pastoral counselor with a practice in New York City, and an Associate of Kenwood Psychological Services. He formerly taught as a part-time member of the Theology Department at Georgetown University, and as an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Connecticut College.

The Christmas event has, for many centuries, stimulated the imagination of so many of our greatest artists, including composers, painters, novelists, and poets. In this two-part series, Rev. Robb will lead a discussion on some of these reflections by some of our greatest poets: Christina Rossetti, John Milton, Thomas Hardy, e.e.cummings, T.S. Eliot, and W.H. Auden, among others. Rev. David Robb is Assistant minister for Adult Education and Scholar-In Residence at All Souls, and a professional psychotherapist and pastoral counselor. He formerly taught as a member of the Theology Department at Georgetown University and in the Religious Studies Department at Connecticut College where he served as Chaplain for 14 years.
On this 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we also recall the theological vision he shared with his dear friend Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a vision that compelled both men to become activists in the struggle against racism and to provide impassioned religious opposition to this country’s long engagement in the Vietnam War. Heschel, born and raised in the Hasidic tradition in Poland, later emigrated to the United States and became a public intellectual and provocative leader in 1960's America on the issues of race, war, and interreligious encounter. Deeply influenced by the prophetic tradition of Judaism, both he and King drew upon that tradition to guide their moral trajectory. In this two-part series we will focus attention on the theological roots that united them in a common ethical commitment to the claims of justice. Rev.

Advent is that season in the church’s liturgical calendar that focuses our attention on preparation for the celebration of Christmas. It corresponds with the dying of the natural world and its slow, inexorable movement toward the winter solstice—the shortest day of the year—and the turning that marks the slow recovery towards spring. It is also the Church’s annual reminder that the great celebration of Christmas is most profoundly experienced as the culminating event in a season of attentiveness to our deepest longings. The secular (e.g. commercial) calendar, of course, skips over this aspect in its headlong rush toward Christmas. Drawing upon the resources of poetry, music and literature, David will explore three central spiritual themes of the Advent season—inner darkness, waiting, and hope. These three themes are among the necessary conditions by which we create the quality of readiness—as C.S. Lewis once put it, to be “surprised by joy.”

In a culture where “religion” comes increasingly to be associated with unsubstantiated, unscientific and anti-liberal belief systems; in a congregation where more often than not people claim, “I am spiritual but I am not really religious,” perhaps it is time to examine what it is that we actually understand by “religion.” Perhaps it is time to face the question of whether or not a religious perspective has anything left to contribute to our sense of self or a valid purpose in the modern world. Join us as our director of adult religious education shares his personal odyssey and invites us to confront our own encounter with the mysterious otherness of religious insight.

On October 31, 1517 — exactly 500 years ago this month — Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk, posted his now-famous 95 Theses at the door of the University Church in Wittenberg, Germany. This was at the time the traditional device to invite a public debate on specific issues. In fact his gesture ignited a firestorm that swept through much of Europe provoking political and religious upheaval for decades, fierce battles that altered the political face of Europe, and stirred theological, political and philosophical controversy for centuries to come. What were these simple theses about? Why did they provoke such a massive and consequential overhaul of political and religious life, a process that later came to be known as the great Protestant Reformation? Finally, what, if anything did the Protestant Reformation contribute to the emergence of Unitarian Universalism?
