Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's Speech, and Political ParallelsIn this gripping episode of Star Wars Generations, hosts Matthew, Alex, Erin, and Aaron dive deep into what many consider the pinnacle of Star Wars television (at least until next week): Andor Season 2 Episodes 7-9. The discussion centers on the shocking Ghorman massacre, Syril and Dedra's complex relationship, and Mon Mothma's pivotal speech that formally launches the Rebel Alliance.The hosts analyze how Episode 8's Ghorman massacre serves as a chilling parallel to real-world protests and government responses. They point out how the Empire deliberately created conditions for violence by barricading the plaza, strategically opening it, and then using a planted sniper to incite riots—tactics reminiscent of how governments have historically responded to protests in our world. When the protesters chant "The galaxy is watching," the hosts draw comparisons to the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests in Chicago where demonstrators shouted "The whole world is watching" as police violently responded.The discussion turns to how the Empire controlled the media narrative, with news reports spinning the massacre as "terrorist violence" rather than a government atrocity—highlighting the parallels between Star Wars and our own media landscape. The hosts examine how Tony Gilroy's writing makes explicit connections between the Empire's tactics and contemporary political situations.Syril and Dedra's relationship takes a dramatic turn when Syril discovers Dedra's role in orchestrating the Ghorman massacre. After nearly strangling her in his rage, Syril abandons the Empire to pursue Andor, whom he still blames for the deaths that started his journey. The hosts discuss how Syril's character arc represents someone who believed in justice through institutional power only to discover the system's corruption, leading to his violent rejection of Dedra—whom he once idolized.One of the most significant moments explored is Mon Mothma's powerful speech denouncing the Empire, which formally launches the Rebel Alliance. The hosts analyze her journey from working within the system to finally breaking away after being gradually isolated and betrayed by those around her. Her speech about the "death of truth" being "the ultimate victory of evil" resonates powerfully with contemporary political discourse, showing how Star Wars continues to reflect real-world struggles against authoritarianism.Key Topics Discussed:How does Episode 7 set up the characters for the dramatic events in Episodes 8-9?What real-world protest events did the Ghorman massacre parallel?How did Syril's character evolve from Imperial loyalist to someone who attacks Dedra?Why did Bix choose to leave Andor rather than stay with him?What made Mon Mothma's speech so powerful and relevant to today's political climate?How does Andor's role in helping Mon Mothma escape connect to his ultimate fate in Rogue One?What significance does K2SO's introduction have for the final arc of the series?The hosts conclude by praising Andor as possibly the best Star Wars media ever produced, while acknowledging that the franchise benefits from having a variety of tones across different shows. With only one more arc left in the series, they express both excitement to see K2SO in the final episodes and disappointment that this groundbreaking show is nearing its conclusion. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Matt Crawford speaks with Andrew Holter about his book, Going Around: Selected Journalism Murray Kempton. A courtly man of Southern roots, Murray Kempton worked as a labor reporter for the New York Post, won a Pulitzer Prize while at Newsday, and was arrested at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago along the way. He wore three piece suits and polished oxfords and was known for riding his bicycle around New York City while listening to his CD Walkman and smoking a pipe with wild red hair that later turned white. He developed a taste for baroque prose and became, in the words of Robert Silvers, his editor at The New York Review of Books, ''unmatched in his moral insight into the hypocrisies of politics and their consequences for the poor and powerless.'' He went to court proceedings and traffic accidents and funerals and to speeches by people who either were or wanted to be rich and famous. He wrote about everything and anybody—Tonya Harding and Warren Harding, Fidel Castro and Mussolini, Harry Truman and Sal Maglie, St. Francis of Assisi and James Joyce and J. Edgar Hoover. From dispatches from a hardscrabble coal town in Western Maryland, a bus carrying Freedom Riders through Mississippi, an Iowa cornfield with Nikita Krushchev, an encampment of guerrillas in El Salvador, and Moscow at the end of the Soviet Union (these last two assignments filed by a reporter in his 70s), Kempton's concerns and interests were extraordinarily broad. He wrote about subjects from H.L. Mencken to Tupac Shakur; organized labor and McCarthyism; the Civil Rights and Black Power movements; presidential hopefuls and Mafiosi; frauds and failures of all stripes; the “splendors and miseries” of life in New York City.

In this episode, Dave and Ann Wilson explore the lives of five remarkable Christians who changed the world without holding traditional religious titles like pastors or missionaries. Jordan Raynor, the author of "Five Mere Christians," joins the discussion and introduces these figures, starting with Fannie Lou Hamer, whose activism played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement. Rainer reveals that while Hamer's story is well-known among African Americans, many white people are unaware of her contributions, highlighting the racial divide in historical knowledge.Fannie Lou Hamer, a poor Black sharecropper from Mississippi, took the courageous step of attempting to register to vote in 1962, a move that led to her imprisonment and brutal beating by a police officer. Despite the violence she endured, Hamer went on to form the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which aimed to challenge voter suppression in the South. Hamer's testimony at the 1964 Democratic National Convention, despite being disrupted by President Lyndon B. Johnson's efforts to suppress it, brought national attention to the injustices in Mississippi and helped secure voting rights for African Americans. What stood out in her story was her ability to fight for justice without hating or canceling her enemies, maintaining a Christ-like approach of praying for those who wronged her.The conversation then shifts to how justice and love should intersect in today's world. The hosts explore how modern Christians, in their pursuit of justice, should avoid adopting worldly methods such as cancel culture, which contrasts with Christ's teachings on loving one's enemies and praying for them.Next, the discussion takes a turn to the founder of LEGO, Ole Kirk Christiansen, whose life was marked by incredible perseverance and faith. Christiansen's story of overcoming tragedy—including multiple factory fires and the deaths of his wife and child—illustrates his deep trust in God's plan. His commitment to creating toys during difficult times showed his belief in the power of play and its connection to God's joy in creation. His ability to persevere through extreme hardships and still focus on bringing joy to others is a testament to his Christian faith and work ethic.The episode concludes by discussing how these individuals demonstrate the importance of both trusting in God's sovereignty and hustling to make a difference in the world. Rainer encourages listeners to engage in their work and relationships with a balance of prayer, action, and rest, as exemplified by these extraordinary individuals. Ultimately, the podcast emphasizes that even in the most difficult of circumstances, faith, perseverance, and trust in God can bring transformation.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump on Monday, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court determined that Abrego Garcia's deportation was, in part, the result of an “administrative error” and that the Trump Administration should “facilitate” his return to the United States. Though, after the error is corrected, Abrego Garcia would ultimately be eligible for deportation anyway. While speaking with the press, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller denied an administrative error ever occurred. The Trump Administration also noted that because Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 3:10pm- In posts to social media, Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) documented his trip to San Salvador, El Salvador where he hoped to negotiate the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. During an interview with Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that Abrego Garcia is not a “Maryland man” as the “liberal media” continues to insist. She continued: “He's a guy from El Salvador who is a part of one of the most violent gangs in our country.” 3:30pm- Zeoli Show action figures, Matt gets yelled at for misreading a text message, and Rich promotes his numerous appearances on television. 3:40pm- On Tuesday night during the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, former President Joe Biden delivered his first public speech since leaving office. During the address, Biden used outdated phrases, screamed at attendees, and was drowned out by background music—so, it went about as well as we expected. 3:50pm- According to The New York Post, Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte has sent a federal criminal referral to the Department Justice—accusing New York Attorney General Letitia James of mortgage fraud. Ironically, in the past, James has notably stated: “no one is above the law.” Weekday afternoons on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Rich Zeoli gives the expert analysis and humorous take that we need in this crazy political climate. Along with Executive Producer Matt DeSantis and Justin Otero, the Zeoli show is the next generation of talk radio and you can be a part of it weekday afternoons 3-7pm.

In this episode of Crime Time Inc., the hosts delve into the tumultuous events of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, a pivotal moment in American history. The convention, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, racial tensions, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, became a focal point for intense political and social upheaval. The episode explores the planning and actions of anti-war groups, such as the MOBE and Yippies, and the response from Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley, who aimed to maintain law and order with a heavy police presence, the National Guard, and even the U.S. Army. Key events highlighted include the rising tensions following the police shooting of a teenager, the provocative acts by protesters like nominating a pig for president, and the violent clashes that ensued, especially on August 26th at Grant Park. The narrative vividly describes the police riot, the public's reaction, and the broader implications of these confrontations. The hosts discuss the investigations and differing portrayals by the Walker Report and the City of Chicago's own report, reflecting the divided perspectives on the violence. Additionally, the episode addresses the consequential trial of the Chicago Eight, the political fallout within the Democratic Party, and the lasting impact on American political discourse and protest movements.

As part of our Black History Month Rewind at Ms. Studios, we're revisiting some of our favorite past episodes. First up, we're taking a look of voting rights and voter suppression, revisiting an episode recorded ahead of the 2020 presidential election. At the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, voting activist and civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer described the violent injustice she and others had endured while living under the South's Jim Crow rules and fighting for the right to vote: “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!”Over 50 years later, ahead of the 2020 election, we see record early voting across the country. Even so, serious efforts aimed at voter suppression persist, including curbing access to mail-in voting and shutting down polling locations.So, what are the biggest threats to voting rights today? How is voter suppression showing up in the 2020 election? What can we do to ensure that our elections remain free and fair?Joining us to discuss these issues are some very special guests:Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the National Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Clarke leads one of the nation's most important national civil rights organizations in the pursuit of equal justice for all. She is the author of Barack Obama and African American Empowerment: The Rise of Black America's New Leadership.Judge Glenda Hatchett, who served as senior attorney at Delta Airlines before becoming the chief presiding judge of Fulton County Georgia Juvenile Court in Atlanta.  Her law firm, the Hatchett Firm, represented Philando Castille's estate in the wake of his tragic death. She presides over the two-time Emmy-nominated courtroom series, Judge Hatchett, now in its 16th season. Most recently, she has returned to TV in her new television court series, The Verdict with Judge Hatchett.Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, executive director of the Highlander Research and Education Center—and the first Black woman to hold that title.  She is an active participant on the governance council of the Southern Movement Assembly, and an organizer with Concerned Citizens for Justice. She has served on the National Council of the Student Environmental Action Coalition.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

In this explosive episode of Brew Crime, Mike kicks off a two-part deep dive into one of the most incendiary and politically charged bands of all time—Rage Against the Machine. From their revolutionary lyrics to their defiant stage presence, RATM has never been just a band—they're a movement, a call to action, and a middle finger to the establishment.In Part 1, we explore:

When Abigail had the incredible opportunity to attend the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, in August of 2024, friend and mentor of the pod Pete Dominick offered her an even more incredible opportunity: to serve as the official DNC Correspondent for the Stand Up! with Pete Dominick podcast. This is a compilation of the two segments she recorded for the podcast, as well as an exclusive segment for Pete's Patreon supporters - of which Barry and Abigail are two.For a dozen years, Pete hosted a fabulous public affairs show on Sirius XM Radio. His unique and humorous perspective on current events coupled with his great long-form interviews made this Barry's primary source of news for many years.In October 2019, Sirius XM made the awful decision not to renew his contract, due in large part to his resistance to the rehiring of Steve Bannon as a Sirius XM host. With nowhere else to turn, Pete started his own daily podcast, relying on subscribers as his sole source of income. Shortly afterwards, the COVID-19 pandemic afforded Pete the opportunity to create a weekly social hangout for subscribers. This quickly became an important means of connection for people isolated during the pandemic. This community quickly became a new group of virtual friends from all across the country. As the world has reopened from the pandemic, many of those newfound friends have met in person - most recently at the 2024 inaugural Stand Up! PodJam, at which we recorded our first-ever live episode!Pete and his community have been amazing supporters of our podcast from the beginning, and Abigail was extremely honored to be his DNC correspondent.Up next… Who's Next by The Who, submitted to our Jukebox by Todd Sider. This episode, our Season 5 opener, is scheduled to drop on March 7, 2025.Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

Send us a textIt is just days before the Republican National Convention and the campaign of George H. W. Bush is losing, badly. It appears unfocused and seems to be reacting to events instead of controlling them or leading them. The worsening economy has the argument for change being made by Bill Clinton stronger with each passing day. Finally, Ross Perot decided to withdraw and did so on the last night of the 1992 Democratic National Convention delivering for Governor Clinton an enormously huge audience to listen to his acceptance speech. One of the problems is that George Bush is without two of his most trusted political advisors. Lee Atwater, the native South Carolinian, who had helped guide Bush to the Presidency had died of brain cancer, and James Baker, his former campaign manager, had moved on to the job of Secretary of State. Bush needed them badly and he finally went to James Baker and asked him to take over the campaign for that final stretch. James Baker was, as James Carville once said of him, "the Joe Montana of American Politics" (Montana is a widely heralded Super Bowl MVP Quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers) Baker arrived in Washington D.C. when his friend George Bush had moved from Texas in the early 1970s.  He got a job working for President Gerald Ford in 1975. He then moved over and almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in political history moving Ford from 33% points down to only losing by one in 1976 to Jimmy Carter. He took Bush from an asterisk in the polls to almost wrestling away the 1980 nomination from Ronald Reagan, he then helped guide the Reagan Presidency in its first term, was Secretary of State to Bush as they soft landed the Cold War, and now Bush was calling him back in to pull off yet another miracle and get him re-elected to the Presidency. As you will see, it almost worked, if not for the Sinister forces of a Special Prosecutor. Here is the story of James Baker stepping back in to take over the 1992 campaign of George H. W. Bush, on the eve of the 1992 Republican National Convention.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Send us a textThis is the final night of the 1992 Democratic National Convention and there is only one star of this show. We start out with the CNN Documentary "The Road to the White House 1992" as it fills you in on the events of that day and then we listen in on one of the best films ever produced for a Presidential nominee. "The Man from Hope" put together by Linda and Harry Thomason. The Hollywood TV Producers that came up with the hit T.V Series "Designing Women". This intro video was impactful. I will go ahead and tell you our version came from my ancient VHS Collection and the sound audio is at times a struggle. After the video we use a better audio, of Bill Clinton as he takes the stage and delivers his 1992 acceptance speech. It was one of the greatest campaign addresses in the history of televised addresses. All of this on a night when earlier in the afternoon Ross Perot had withdrawn from the race and handed the Democratic nominee the largest viewing audience for any Convention speech in history.

Birmingham, Alabama — also known as The Magic City — is a major part of my story. I lived there for nearly 11 years, from January 2013 until December 2023; my husband is from there and I met my husband there; and, living there from age 26 to 37, it was part of my formative years as an adult. During my time in Birmingham, I worked in communications at the economic development organization the Birmingham Business Alliance, where I had the opportunity to meet Birmingham's mayor, Randall Woodfin, on a number of occasions. Sometimes those in office are one way in front of the cameras and a completely different person when the cameras are off; Mayor Woodfin was always kind, gracious, generous, and a genuinely good person — the real deal — even if it was just the two of us in a room. Mayor Woodfin won election as mayor in 2017 in a bit of a David and Goliath type victory over longtime Birmingham political mainstay William Bell; he has been in office ever since. Now, on January 21, he is coming out with a memoir, aptly titled Son of Birmingham: A Memoir, about his life, leadership, and, fascinatingly, his love of Outkast. As I tell Mayor Woodfin in this episode, we all deserve someone that loves us as much as he loves Outkast. Mayor Woodfin truly is a son of Birmingham and, having been in office since 2017, has seen the city through some difficult times, not the least of which is COVID-19. In this episode he talks about the modern day Birmingham and what the public still gets wrong about it; about being the youngest mayor in Birmingham's modern history; what it was like to win the mayoral election over seven years ago; some of the toughest situations he's faced in office; about answering the call to serve; and about his life as a husband and father now. A native of Birmingham, Mayor Woodfin attended Morehouse College and then returned to Birmingham, working at City Hall in jobs for the mayor and the City Council and for the Jefferson County Committee on Economic Opportunity. He attended the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and, after obtaining his law degree, took on a job in the City of Birmingham Law Department. Outside of his work as an assistant city attorney, he was a political organizer, working on campaigns at the local, state, and federal level. After serving on the Birmingham Board of Education, he ran for mayor and is now in his second term in office, seeking a third in 2025. He was also a featured speaker at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. I will always, always have such an affinity for Birmingham, and for Mayor Woodfin, too.

Episode #359 – A Look Back on 2024  Hi I'm David Hirsch, founder of the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network as well as host of the Special Fathers Network Dad To Dad Podcast.   Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2025.   Tom Couch, the editor and producer of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, and I, thought we would do something special and provide a Look Back on 2024.   In total we produced 72 episodes, 52 were weekly episodes airing on Fridays and for 20 weeks from May through September we produced a series of short episodes with SFN Mentor Fathers who are also involved with the SFN Mastermind Group program.  We called them SFN Mastermind Group Monday Podcasts.    While we'd love to include a snippet from all 70+ episodes, to keep it more concise we decided to provide some highlights.   We hope you enjoy listening to this Look Back on 2024 Episode as much as we did producing it.   18 of the 2024 guests are authors.   Nine of the interviews included international guests, from the following seven countries: Australia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Iceland, Israel and the UK.  Four of the guests are women.  Three interviews were with dads who lost a child including one who was an Israeli hostage killed by Hamas terrorists.  Two interviews included military veterans: a former U.S. Navy Seal and a U.S. Air Force Vietnam-era combat pilot.  And one of the guests is a Native American.   The episodes also spanned a very broad range of disabilities including; Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Rare Disease, Dwarfism as well as those who are blind, deaf and missing a limb(s).    Here is a brief month by month recap with a clip from a select number of episodes.   In January, we aired four episodes including a dad from the UK and one from the Cayman Islands as well as with Jonathan Eig, father to three, including a son whose parents passed away at an early age.  Jon is also the best-selling author of biographies on: Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and MLK.   In February, we aired four episodes including one with Dave Jereb of Sydney, Australia, a Physical Therapist, co-founder of Move About Therapies and author of the book: Challenging The Story. We also did a two-episode story with filmmaker Bob Manganelli, whose 23 year old deaf son, very tragically committed suicide, while at Gallaudet University back in 2014.  In March, we produced five episodes including a two-episode interview with Keith Harris of Albuquerque, NM who is a retired business owner and father of four, including son Tim who has Down Syndrome.   He and Tim owned and operated the restaurant Tim's Place for five years.  Tim also went on to author The Book of Hugs, a children's book.  In April, we aired four episodes including one with Jonathan Bennett of Ontario Canada, who is an executive leadership coach, author and father of two, including one with Autism who is also non-binary.  In May, we did six episodes including one with Dr. Greg Pursley of Jackson, MO who is a chiropractor, owner of PC Medical Centers, an author and father of two, including a son who has Dwarfism.   We also interviewed John Borling of Rockford, IL who is a retired Major General

twin boys, one of which, Evan, is Autistic.   John and his wife, Janet, have been leaders in the disability community throughout TN and John has been involved with the Tuesday night Mastermind group for nearly three years.   We also interviewed Paul Briggs of Falling Waters, WV, who is the father of 38.  No this was not a typographical error or some misstatement.  Paul and his wife, Jeanne, have six biological kids and 32 adopted children including: 13 from Ghana, 10 from Ukraine, six from Russia, two from Bulgaria and one from Mexico.   In July, we did nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday interviews.  We also interviewed Kelley Coleman of Los Angeles, CA, a mother of two, a disability advocate, and author of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports.   We also interviewed Sam Farmer of North Easton, MA who is the father of a son with Autism and later in life was also diagnosed with Asperger's.  Sam is also the author of A Long Walk Down A Winding Road and has become one of the more well recognized self-advocates in the Autism community.  We also Al Malavolti of Rockford, IL in a

the Vatican and President Biden at the White House.  They spoke at the United Nations in Geneva and at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.  I interviewed Jonathan on day 328 of their son Hersh's captivity and very sadly, just days later we learned about Hamas murdering six of the hostages including Hersh.   In October, we aired five episodes including one with Dr. Ruslan Vasyutin who

Today, they discuss the Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, and Worst Political Theater of 2024.They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim kicks things off by citing a massive lie that has been obvious for years and finally exploded for all the world to see this year. Greg focuses on an obvious Trump campaign policy statement that the left and its media allies immediately twisted into a sinister promise of mayhem if Trump lost. It was nothing of the sort.Then it's time for the best political theater of 2024, with Jim choosing an indelible campaign moment in the midst of shock and horror. Jim explains why that moment had such a profound impact on many Americans. While Greg wholeheartedly agrees with Jim's selection, he points out one of the worst examples of the left not handling Election Night very well.Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2024. Jim singles out a key moment from the Democratic National Convention that served as a final insult to the outgoing president. Meanwhile, Greg finds his worst political theater in in a pair of New York courtrooms..Please join us on Friday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2024.

The Democratic National Convention is in Chicago, and the incumbent president, Lyndon B. Johnson, has pulled out of the race. Anti-war protestors are flooding the streets of the city, and Johnson continues to press on with the war in Vietnam. Bobby Kennedy's assassination has turned the Democratic candidacy contest into a two-horse race between Hubert Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy. And while they're battling inside the convention for delegates, the real fight is taking place on the streets. Dope-smoking youth activists known as the “Yippies” have called for a protest against the Vietnam War, and their threats made in the name of the ‘politics of play' have been taken seriously by Chicago police, who react with brutal force. Flowers and poems meet truncheons and guns. As DNC votes are being counted, images of these confrontations are broadcasted on newsreels across the nation. Join Tom and Dominic to discuss a Democratic National Convention that saw Chicago descend into violence and chaos. Listen as they explore what led to one of the most anarchic political conventions, and how it impacted a divided America. _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.
