How are they free, you ask, because he sees what you're trying to do. Then he goes to the franchise, the parent company, and he says, pay me, and I'll help these guys succeed doing your franchise. Pretty brilliant. I was like, wow, that's amazing.Lesley Logan 0:20  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:59  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the supporting convo I had with Jon Ostenson in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now, go back and listen to that one, and then come back and join us, or listen to this one, and then you can decide if you want to listen that one. I think it's great. Jon has a book. It's really wonderful. It's a very niche topic. It's a nerdy topic. It's one I wanted to have because I don't think entrepreneurs, I'm like, making your own idea is for everybody, but I do think everybody deserves to have the wealth and agency that they want to have in this world and make what they want to make. So I'm excited about it. Brad Crowell 1:30  Well, I thought I really liked, I really liked the conversation. I was very I mean, especially for me, because I am very entrepreneurial, but I appreciated the back and forth. So, yeah, I, I think that it was very revealing. Lesley Logan 1:51  Are you saying it was a great interview? Did I do a good job? Brad Crowell 1:51  I'm saying it was a great interview. Not only that, but I think the information that he's sharing is shocking. He's super smart dude, and I thought, I thought it was very revealing for someone who might be hoping, wishing they could own a business. This was very empowering, because it, it created hope I think. So, yeah, great. Lesley Logan 2:17  I well, you'll, you guys, stay tuned. You'll hear what we're talking about in a second. Today is September 11th, 2025 and it's Patriot Day, which gives us all time to reflect on the devastating terror attacks that took 3000 lives. We commemorate those who we lost, and give thanks to the brave responders who put their lives on the line. Take a moment today to consider what we stand for as a nation, how we can work together to make the world a better place for all. It's a hard day. Brad Crowell 2:39  Yeah, I mean.Lesley Logan 2:40  Especially with 20, with 25 years to reflect on what fucking lies we're told afterwards, and then how we treat the first responders and how fucking hard it was to get their medical bills paid because they're dying from cancer right now. Like.Brad Crowell 2:56  Yeah, it's like, it's like a story that keeps repeating itself where something devastating happens that is wrong and tragic. People die and then motherfuckers in office take advantage of the public's emotional state, and they use it to go do some wrong shit. Lesley Logan 3:18  Go, so seriously, go watch the movie Vice. I happen to be really lucky to be teaching Christian Bale's wife at the time that he was filming that. And so it was a really interesting time, because, like, he was becoming Dick Cheney, which, like, it is a, I mean, of course, he won an, I think he won a bunch of awards for that. And he literally thanked Satan for the inspiration. Brad Crowell 3:41  Yes, he did. Lesley Logan 3:37  And I remember, I remember my client. I remember my client was, my client was just like, I fucking told him not to do that, or something like that. And so anyways, but go watch it, because it, while it's not historical, it is pretty fucking accurate about like, how rich Cheney and these bitches got after doing what they did and using, using the heartbreak, and what people fought with patriotism to go make these fucking wars, and then we did a bunch of bullshit, and then we ruined places. And it just pisses me off, because. Brad Crowell 4:04  Over, over, lies. Lesley Logan 4:09  Lies and so. And also, if you don't believe in September 11th being what it was like, I don't know why you're here, but like, I, I just really.Brad Crowell 4:18  Well, it was, I mean, it was a terrorist attack, no question. But what we did after it, how the public was manipulated, to then go to war for 20 years after, based on literal lies, you know.Lesley Logan 4:30  Yeah, it's, I it's hard because, like, okay, reflecting on what we consider as a nation today, I think, as an I think the people running our nation today reflect something I would never want to be a patriot of.Brad Crowell 4:42  Yeah, and that that's, that's the thing that really frustrates me as a person who, when you read the definition of patriot, I want to be that. That is absolutely, I mean, I consider myself a patriot. But also there's this, there's this frustrating association with angry white men, usually, who don't give a shit about people. And there's so much fear of others associated with it. And there's this ego that's associated with it that.Lesley Logan 5:17  It's, it's so it's so fragile. What they're like, they're thinking is so they are. They're such fragile people. Because they're just like, they're the way that they think, that they're showing strength. And we're like, protesting, they're like, like, making sure that we see the middle finger, and like, just like, and it's like, I have never driven in my entire life, of driving past something, we're talking about this with the protest where I disagree. Brad Crowell 5:39  We used to live by protests all the time, where we lived in L.A., we're literally next to the federal building, so it was like, every weekend, forever.Lesley Logan 5:45  Every weekend, it was like, who's protesting today? And like, there were times I was like, oh, I wonder why. It made me get curious as to, like, what is going on here. It was very fascinating. And it was like, what the fuck like, but I never was like, here's my middle finger to you. It's like, just, you know, move along. Move right along. The fact that you have to make sure I see your face in your lifted stupid truck while you flip me off, it makes you and that makes you feel good. You're like, yeah, I did it to them. I did it like, we were in Idaho, and there was a big ass sign in this guy's house. I was walking by the lake, and it was like, make liberals cry again, and it's like, oh, you think I'm crying. I'm pissed off. Like the tears of the tears are of what we are losing, of course, but like, no, I'm pissed off. James Baldwin, I want to, I want to make sure everyone hears this quote, because I think it's really beautiful, and I think it's this is what being a patriot is. I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. And I think that, like, this country has so many shortcomings, and no country is perfect. Like, I was listening to Sophia Bush on a podcast recently, and she's like, like, I'm not gonna move because, like, I love this place. I'm gonna fight for her. And so, like, if you moved and whatever, like, I have no judgments for that, but if you're here, like, you have to fight, because we're losing rights. We're losing rights. And it really pisses me off, because in the time of my mother being an adult and married woman, she could not get a credit card until, like, the 80s, right? Like, like, I if you're listening to this and you're just like, la, la, la, I just want to hear about how to be till I see it. Ladies, you are going to lose your ability to have your own bank account. You're gonna lose your ability to have your own vote. And if you think it's not going to happen because, oh, it's not going to happen. It's they want it to happen. And the right people are in power. And I'm tired of being told that Project 2025 is bullshit. It is happening right now. Lesley Logan 5:46  They're more than 50% of the way through completing Project 2025.Lesley Logan 5:48  In the time we're recording this, seven months. Brad Crowell 7:40  Yeah, seven months. And, I mean, you know, if you go through and you actually read the things that are in that platform, they they do want to make single family voting, which is literally taking away the white the rights of women, because they would consider the man the head of the household. Lesley Logan 8:02  And if you think, oh, I'm not married yeah your brother get to vote for you. I don't have a brother, your uncle get to vote for you. Like they will find a man if and when this type of life existed, they would find someone in the government to become your vote. You don't get there's no getting out of this. You don't get one.Brad Crowell 8:17  Yeah, and, and, and the people in power are Tweeting about that stuff, literally right now, right like they're they're putting it out there. They're trying to normalize the idea so that when they go and try to do it, it doesn't seem like it's as big of a deal as it actually fucking is. Lesley Logan 8:32  So you know what I think patriotism is right now, babe, it is, find a protest. I know you're busy. I know you have fucked tons, going on. We are, too. Find one. Go for an hour. Go yell. Go meet friends. Go meet people who are different than you. It's, these protests people, some people are fighting for their their gay marriages to still exist. Some people are fighting further to not be war. Some people are fighting for God. Some people are fighting to like for the Epstein list. I don't care what gets you out there, but like you think that this, that what they're gonna do is not gonna affect your life, it is. It is. Brad Crowell 8:55  Yeah, go, go check out individual, indivisible.org, for a local, you know, event, or how you can get involved near you. So, you know, we're gonna move on, and we're gonna actually. Lesley Logan 9:11  Well, people like this, Brad, we've been told, hi, Vicky.Brad Crowell 9:14  I think it's so important y'all and and it's like this, I know that we this isn't a podcast about politics, but it is. Lesley Logan 9:22  But also, but also. Brad Crowell 9:23  Being it until you see it is a pod, it is about like politics, and it is a part of every single element of our life, even if you have the perfect life, quote, unquote, it's because of politics that you are able to live the way that you live. And what's happening right now is such fast, dramatic change in our countries. Like, historically, there's so much change happening so quickly there, that when we wake up, you know, in even six months from now, it's going to be like, there we are at the brink of things. Lesley Logan 9:53  I don't even know how we're going to make it to the midterms. That's my fear. That's my fear, and I put it out right now, but I will just say, even if you're like, less. I just want a homestead. I want to be like tradwife. The fact that you get to choose that is because of politics. So that is fine if that's what you want to choose to do. But do not think that everybody wants to do that and that that should be the choice for everybody. So I think that like that is why we have to get involved. And if you are a woman, you are political. Your existence in any room is political has been and if you really want to get fired up, go read the book, She Caused A Riot. Go look at history. Like fucking Socrates, his teacher was a woman. Did you know that? The reason you don't know that is because politics, they didn't want you to know that there was leaders in this world.Brad Crowell 10:39  Politics and religion. Lesley Logan 10:39  Fuck that. Anyways. Brad Crowell 10:39  Frustrating. Lesley Logan 10:39  I'm pissed off, but we're currently in the U.K. We're in the U.K. and then when we get home, well, we're home for a couple of weeks, and we gotta see my best friends and come visit, and then we're gonna go to Chicagoland for Pilates On Tour with Balanced Body. I'm doing the Joe's Gyms there. That's in Burr Ridge. If there's any spots left, you should snag one, because it's super, super fun, and we have a huge party coming with all of our agency eLevate OPC members, then we're gonna be in Cambodia. That's also in October. You can still join like you can join last minute. Guess what? Flight planes will sell a seat as long as there is one. So you can get the fuck out of town and retreat a little bit and be in a different world and get some empathy for what it's like to live in different places.Brad Crowell 11:21  Yeah, and experience a different culture and see that not everybody.Lesley Logan 11:24  If you are worried. Sorry, I cut you off. If you're worried about being an American in a different country, let me tell you, they see what's happening right now, and they are, in Cambodia, they are sad for us. They are scared for us. They know that they know where we're headed, and they're sad for us.Brad Crowell 11:25  Yeah, I was just gonna say with our experience recently about trying to cross borders and getting stuck and turned around and not being able to, it wasn't the it wasn't the attendees of the events that we were not able to attend who were angry with us. It was the border guard who was, you know, unfortunately, misinformed and, you know, and angry. And he's angry because the border guards of our country were turning away people for no reason. So he could just, that's the only power he had, was to turn away, you know, Americans for no reason. And we just kind of got caught up in that. So there's a lot of, there is a lot of frustration, but it's not from the people, right, in this country, it's like, you know? So, so I would say, you know, yeah, it did feel a little bit stressful to you know, as we were approaching, once we got there and started talking to them, it became clear that that there was just silly reasons being turned away but, but even in that, like the you know, the guy wasn't like, he wasn't an asshole about it. So, but I it was really frustrating. If you're worried about something like that, when you come to a place like Cambodia, you apply for your visa ahead of time. You will know before you arrive if they're going to turn you around, because you'll have the right paperwork.Lesley Logan 13:06  And also you're we're all going as tourists. The Canadian thing, we were going into work. Brad Crowell 13:11  That's true. Lesley Logan 13:11  And that was it, we'll have to do a whole episode on it, because it's a longer, longer conversation. That being said, you go to. Brad Crowell 13:18  But as a tourist, they want a tourist. They want that because. Lesley Logan 13:21  That's how they're that's literally how their country survives. Brad Crowell 13:24  Yep, it's how well, it's how the city that we're going to, that's how the economy there survives, from tourism. So, you know, and they are very aware of that, so. Lesley Logan 13:32  Yes, they want us there. They're so welcoming, they're so kind, and you can see what it's like to be living in a different part of this world. I think that's so important. I think one of the biggest reasons why people in this, in the U.S., are so fucking scared of people of a different color is because they've never, they've never gone and seen how they live. Yeah, you know, go get worldly. You will have more empathy, crowsnestretreats.com. After we leave Cambodia, we're going to be in Singapore. We're going to teach at a beautiful studio there, and then we're gonna see the Botanical Gardens. And then we're home. We're home for the whole month of November. Oh my God, no, Brad, I'm not going camping anywhere. We're home for the whole month of November. Brad Crowell 14:10  But my parents are coming. We're gonna go camp. Lesley Logan 14:12  No, we're, that is not why they're coming to visit us. Help make an, help you with the roof or something. And then October, we're gonna be on our winter tour. And if you want to make sure you hear about that first, go to opc.me/events, opc.me/events, because our people on our waitlist will get the access to the tickets first. And the winter tour does have cities that sell out in 24 hours. Okay, we have to get to our interview, but we do have an audience question. So Brad, go for it.Brad Crowell 14:37  Yes. Okay. DMK asks on Instagram, hey Lesley, my footwork question is this, what cue or cues do you like to use during footwork? I'm sorry, if footwork students, very confused. They made a mistake on the word here.Lesley Logan 14:42  What cues do you like to use, if during footwork, students are using it like a leg press? Brad Crowell 14:56  Oh, sorry. Okay. Lesley Logan 14:57  Yeah, thank you. Brad Crowell 14:59  Well, I just read that wrong. That's all.Lesley Logan 15:00  It's okay, it's all good. So.Brad Crowell 15:04  First off, we're clearly talking about. Lesley Logan 15:06  Footwork on the Reformer. Yeah. DMK, this, I hate cues.Brad Crowell 15:13  Well, hold on, let's explain what the problem is. What is the problem that she's experiencing with her class? Lesley Logan 15:17  The problem that she's probably seen is they're, they're, they're pushing out and in, like, it's a leg press machine, like, it's like a leg machine, and they're making it only a leg exercise versus a full body exercise, right? And then the other thing is that they're not using all the muscles of their legs, because they're just, like, shoving their knees straight. And they're probably pausing at the top, which is what you do on a leg press machine. And then kind of, hopefully, on a leg press machine, you're resisting. But a lot of people just kind of, like, close the the weights, or just like, kind of float in or ride the springs in. So here's the deal, DMK, my teacher, Jay Grimes, and the teachers I studied with him, talked a lot about how Joe didn't really correct during footwork. You use footwork to tell you what's kind of going on in the person's body. So I also happen to like three or four springs on for footwork. So some people think that, like heavy springs means they're gonna use it like a leg press machine, but ideally you want those heavy springs to warm the body up. Two lightest springs can actually affect someone's lower back, if they have a tight lower back, or they're not getting the connection, and the warm up for what's to come. So I do like three to four springs. That being said, what you can do for those people who want to make it a leg press machine, take all the springs off, go down to one light spring and see what happens. They're going to fly off. And you're like, yeah, you actually have to push into the foot bar the whole time, even as you come in. So I love a one spring, because it kind of helps teach the actual movement, and then load the springs up. If you take my fast workshop, I think you can get it on our OPC website. You'll see how I explain how to use especially with arches and heels to do that. The other thing I would say is ask them, if they are opening the front of the hips or opening the back of the knees. What is their intention? Meaning, the, when you focus on opening the knee joint, you're a leg press machine. When you focus on opening the front of the hips, you're making this move from your center. I am looking, I actually don't care people's knees go straight. I'm looking at, can they move their thigh away from their center and open the front of their hips and then pull that back in. So I'm kind of looking at that, but if they don't do those things, the footwork is just really telling me how they're actually moving. And I have to pick other exercises to assist. So other ways to help them understand that's not like press machine would be doing leg springs. Single leg springs, both leg springs, footwork on the Tower is gonna be really helpful, because that's a whole different plane. And so like, find different exercises that get your point across. Ask them what they're feeling and then take them back to the Reformer and say, find that feeling here.Lesley Logan 17:39  Great. Love it. That's the best cue you could do. Lesley Logan 17:50  There you go. Brad Crowell 17:50  I love it. Great question, DMK. Lesley Logan 17:52  Thanks, DMK. Brad Crowell 17:52  If you have a question, just text us. 310-905-5534, 310-905-5534 or you can actually send your question in through, beitpod.com/questions, beitpod.com/questions.Lesley Logan 18:07  That's where you can also send your wins in, too. I want your wins, people. Brad Crowell 18:14  We want your wins. Let's do it. All right. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're actually going to talk about Jon Ostenson next. Lesley Logan 18:20  Finally. Brad Crowell 18:22  All right, let's talk about Jon Ostenson. An expert in franchising and based out of Atlanta, Georgia, Jon Ostenson left his W2 job eight years ago, after years in the corporate world, to become president of Shelf Genie, a large franchise system where he says he fell in love with the franchise model, which he explained amazingly and in detail during the interview. So if you didn't get a chance to listen to that, I would, I would very much encourage you to go listen to it. It was super informative. He is, Jon, is now the founder of FranBridge Consulting and author of the bestselling book, Non-Food Franchising, which, Lesley, I know you read, I've seen it on our table out there. Jon helps clients find suitable franchise opportunities from over 600 different brands outside of the fast food industry. His mission is to guide individuals who want to own a business but may feel risk-averse or lack a, quote unquote, genius idea connecting with them with proven scalable franchise model, and here's the, models, and here's the crazy thing, this is where I was like, oh my God, this guy's brilliant, his services to you are free. How are they free, you ask, because he sees what you're trying to do then he goes to the franchise, the parent company, and he says, pay me, and I'll help these guys succeed doing your franchise. Yeah, pretty brilliant. I was like, wow, that's amazing. So.Lesley Logan 19:44  I love it. I love it so much because it's, like, it's completely risk-averse for you, like, and the reason I thought this, I really wanted to dig in with this guy, because I don't even understand how you get into a franchise, and. Brad Crowell 19:58  Well, it makes me want to get into franchises. Lesley Logan 20:00  I know. And we just met someone who's like, all he does is all these different franchises and and so I just like it because, like, first of all, we talked a lot about how you could, like, work and have a franchise. Like, it's like, there's like, there's all these different ways you can do it. So, anyways.Brad Crowell 20:16  Yeah, he said a lot of franchisors, the people on the franchise, still might have a day job, because. Lesley Logan 20:21  Yeah. Aren't they a franchisee? Brad Crowell 20:24  Oh, sorry, franchisee. You're, you're right. The franchisor is the parent company. The franchisee is the person who's, who's like, purchase one of the locations or whatever. So the franchisee as if you could still be working your normal life and have a franchise, obviously, then it's about the team that you put in place to make sure that they can run it without you having to be there. But, but this guy was talking about having franchises all over the country, so he's clearly not in them operating them. Lesley Logan 20:51  Yeah. But also. No. And so you can be an owner-operator. He has, he, like, his book has got a lot of this stuff in it, if you want to, like, dig in even more and then chat with him, but like, here's what I. Brad Crowell 20:51  And by the way, we're not just talking about Pilates franchises. Lesley Logan 21:02  No, he is, like, there's so many, there's some out there. And also, like, I personally, I personally don't want to grab someone else's Pilates franchises, because, the way I like to teach, I probably would want to make my own, but maybe I want to get one that's in the like, maybe that's like a red light sauna space or something that goes along with what I do, that's like in the thing that I am interested in, in life, like I'm already. Brad Crowell 21:23  Or salt path, float, float, yeah, floating, yeah.Lesley Logan 21:27  By the way, there is a float place that I'm sure, is a franchise in Nashville that I'm like, how the fuck do we get it out here in our neighborhood? Because I'm tired of driving 30 minutes to go fucking float, I'm pissed off by the time I get back. Anyways, we just need, I don't know, a few thousands of dollars, and then we can do it, babe. I think, here's where our next adventure is. Brad Crowell 21:45  (inaudible) crazy is you said that, like, a lot of people, will start a franchise with maybe, you know, $50,000 to $100,000 down, and the rest of it is actually from a an SBA loan, because the SBA and the banks believe in the franchise model so much that they are willing to effectively front the rest of the startup capital. And I was like, wow, I never thought about that. That's amazing. Because, and like, you know, $50,000 is still a shitload of money. I understand that. But it also isn't a million dollars, right? Lesley Logan 22:18  And also, like, anyone who wants to start to make legitimate money, you have to stop thinking that $50,000 is a lot of money, start thinking it's possible, that you can get it, that there's a way, because I remember thinking that, oh, my God, it's so much money. And let me tell you the long as you think 50,000 is so much money you're gonna have, it's gonna feel so far away when you start to think like, of course I still have to find $50,000 you, go listen to that podcast we have with the guy with the question marks, I forget his name, anyways, go and find it, but let's just talk about things I loved that he said. Okay, let me get into my notes. He said, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself. And I love this, because so many of the people I meet, they're like, so lucky that you and Brad, like, are married and like, you work together. And our biggest response is, like, not everyone should do what we do. So if you want to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself, instead of working with your partner, why don't you get a partner? And it can be a franchise like, I think that's really cool.Brad Crowell 23:09  And different franchisors offer different support, and that's one of the conversations that that you could have with a person like Jon, where you might be like, hey, I am innately a marketer, but I'm terrible at operations, right? Then he, he might say, okay, well, this franchise, you know, whatever, they can help. Or, or conversely, I hate marketing. I'm really, that's not my jam. I need a franchise that will create the content for me that I can just use to put out there. So they're different, like, corporate offices will do different things for the business to support the franchisee and but, but, but as a as a layman, how am I supposed to know? But Jon gets to see hundreds of franchises. Lesley Logan 23:53  I think that's what's so cool. Is like, if you know your strengths, then you can talk to Jon and figure out, like, what are the different franchises that I'm interested in that are, like, in an area I want to be in, and then, okay, of those, which one matches my strengths and my weaknesses? Because you don't want to have something that's like, great at marketing and you're great at marketing, but like, has the systems are not there for the operations, like things like that, but also the franchiser does a lot for you. And remember, it's a proven business model, so like, it's already figured like, it's already thrown ideas at the wall, figured out what works, and then you just get to rinse and repeat that. And I really, I really like that for people who want to create their own schedule, create their own impact, be part of the community, but are risk-averse, you know? And by the way, I get it, we just.Lesley Logan 24:39  I'm risk-averse, too. Lesley Logan 24:39  Oh my god, you really are. Brad Crowell 24:41  But in a measurable way. But it's like, I wouldn't want to go, just go throw money away and hope, hope that something works. Imagine being able to follow a systematic approach where they figured out all the kinks in the business. Like, like the business that Lesley and I run that we've created, it has taken us a lot longer to get to where we are today. It's literally 10 years now, 10 years of running this business, yeah, 10 years of trying to figure things out, making mistakes, doing all this stuff, when with a franchise model, there are so many less mistakes to make, because hypothetically, they've already made the mistakes for you and figured it out and put together the playbook that you can simply follow the plan, the process, right? I really loved when he talked about business ownership is really hard. It takes a lot of work. And, yeah, that's that's very true, too. And he said, if it was easy, everyone would be a business owner, and what he what so, so, of all the pros that we've been talking about with a franchise model, it still does take a lot of work, and it's it takes focus and and the biggest thing he mentioned was the people who fail don't follow the plan, right? And Jon goes, calls up the franchise corporate office and goes, yo, what happened here? What's going on? And the franchisor said, you know, would say to Jon, well, look, we did everything we could to support this person, but they didn't listen. They just didn't fucking listen, you know. And that doesn't mean that, like, there won't still be challenges, because every single location is different, every market is different, every opportunity. And what I mean that, I mean different franchise model is different, you know. So it still will take work, but you don't have to do it alone, you know. And that that's amazing, you know. So, so anyway, he doesn't sugarcoat franchises but he said it's a lot easier and a lot more predictable. Lesley Logan 26:40  His book, actually, like, talks about, like, like, kind of like, if it's for you, you know, and this is where like, it, for us to follow the rules, right, with you, you have to know, okay, we're gonna do this thing with this company. We're gonna follow their rules, which means I'm gonna hire someone to go follow their rules, because I am unemployable, so I will probably fuck him up, but you have to know that about yourself, you know. Such a cool dude. He also was like, because I told him I have an idea, I still have an idea that I might want to, like happen and make, and franchise and he's like, just give me a call. Run it by me. And I'm like, amazing. I just love how generous people can be. Brad Crowell 27:18  Yeah, yeah. Well, stick around, we're going to talk about how generous Jon is with his Be It Action Items, in just a minute. Brad Crowell 27:25  All right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Jon Ostenson? He said he really encourages people who are interested in franchising or the concept of franchising, to just simply explore, that there's no downside, there's no cost to learn about how it works, what it is, is it even plausible for me? Is this something that I could do while still doing my life? He said it's super free to work with them, which we already talked about at the very beginning of this convo here. FranBridge consulting, his company helps clients navigate and find top available opportunities among over 600 different non-food franchise brands and. Lesley Logan 28:08  We love that. I do not want to deal with food. Brad Crowell 28:10  Well, he's he's not, he's not opposed to food, but it also, apparently, just adds a whole lot more variables in there. Lesley Logan 28:16  I used to work at a coffee shop, and it was small business-owned, and I'm going to tell you right now, it is,.Brad Crowell 28:21  Well, that's different than a franchise, because a franchise is a system, so small business-owned might make things just complicated because they're making shit up.Lesley Logan 28:28  Food, food, there's, like, the things you have to do to prevent rats.Brad Crowell 28:32  Right, there's just a lot more variables when it comes to food. There's also a lot of more licensing and a lot more, like red tape with like, local state government stuff, you know. So anyway, he explained that what I already mentioned is that, how does he get paid? He gets paid by the franchise business, the corporate, right? He, you're not necessarily paying him directly. So, I mean, it seems like an absolute win-win.Lesley Logan 28:57  Just worth having the conversation like there's no, there's no harm in it, you know. Brad Crowell 29:00  Yeah. What about you? Lesley Logan 29:01  So I love that he said, activity breeds activity. Yes. It's like a body in motion, stays in motion. Yesterday, we just got into town, you know, at midnight on Friday night. I guess it's Saturday morning. Anyways, our friend, my she saw me at the gym, and she's like, you're like, the most consistent creature. And I'm like, I don't if I was to not be consistent, like, like, if I used travel as an excuse, I would never be consistent. So activity breeds activity. A body motion stays in motion. Explain, it's the idea he saw play out in his career and life, that whenever he gets off the sidelines he starts moving to Option A or B. That's that, then that's when option C comes out of left field. He says, good things happen when you're in motion. And it's so true. Like, it's so true. You know, even we got sidelined with the fucking Canada thing, we pivoted and kept going. And, like, because we did that, other things happened, that the dominoes kept going. And like, these other opportunities came around. And I think, like. Brad Crowell 29:53  Yeah, we met a whole studio we never would have met. Lesley Logan 29:55  We totally did. Could be a pop-up someday. But at any rate, like, you know, you, you'd be surprised what happens. Too often, we get we get sidelined, and we're like, I'm gonna sit over here. Keep going, take another step. And if you hear, as you hear in the podcast, it says action is the antidote to fear. So anyways, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 30:16  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 30:17  Thank you so much for listening to our podcast. We love your reviews. Leave us more reviews.

On this edition of Parallax Views, George Beebe — Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute, former director of the CIA's Russia analysis, and a former  staff advisor on Russia matters to Vice President Dick Cheney — about the shifting architecture of global power and its impact on U.S. foreign policy. We begin by unpacking the rise of multipolarity: what it really means for America, why it could encourage balance and restraint, and why it also carries serious risks of miscalculation and instability. From there, we turn to the surprising recent signs of frustration between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and what that might portend for the grinding, entrenched nature of the Russia-Ukraine war. We explore potential pathways to negotiation, asking what concessions would be unacceptable for either side — and what a settlement might look like from a realist perspective. Throughout, Beebe draws on his background in the realist school to argue for understanding geopolitical interests without morally excusing aggression. It's a conversation that moves beyond daily headlines to consider how shifting power dynamics, great-power rivalry, and hard strategic choices could shape the next phase of the war — and the world order that follows.

In an interview by Jones in June 2017, Steele claimed NASA holds a colony on Mars populated by human slaves who were kidnapped as children and sent to the planet.NASA spokesperson, feeling the need to respond about numerous false rumors, said "There are no humans on Mars" and that “there's only one stupid rumor on the Internet? Now that's news."On his Public Intelligence Blog, Steele cited The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fabricated antisemitic document, at least 42 times to expound on the "Zionist conspiracy". He stated in a September 2019 blog entry that Jews in financial sectors were "a secret society" that "believes [itself] to be exempt from all laws and customs", leading to accusations of antisemitism, and called for the incarceration of Jews who were insufficiently loyal to the republic.He described the Holocaust as being a "contrived myth" and Zionism as “a cancer on humanity” urging the eradication of "every Zionist who refuses to be loyal to their country of citizenship and the rule of law.”In September 2020, he implied "two Zionists", one of whom was Yitzhak Rabin, were in Dallas and somehow involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Additionally, he claimed Rabin and Dick Cheney agreed on a proposal for the September 11 attacks: "The Zionists installed the controlled demolitions that assisted what I believe was clearly a directed energy controlled frequency event in the twin towers, controlled demolitions alone for WTC seven, and a massive coverup was executed….9/11 [legal] cases did not go to trial; controlled Zionist judges and prosecutors ensured that all cases were generously settled".Steele was the organizer of the Arise USA tour, a three-month tour of all 50 American states.[1] The Daily Beast reported the tour began in May 2021. Steele promoted Donald Trump's claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election and told his audiences of "the treason and high crimes represented by the fake pandemic, unconstitutional lockdown, mask idiocy, and the deaths and sterilization and mutations associated with the untested toxic 'vaccines'".[14] The tour featured speakers such as Oath Keeper Richard Mack and conspiracy theory promoter Sacha Stone. In July 2021, he held a demonstration in Belfast, Maine to claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and called COVID-19 a hoax.[15][16] He claimed to be the first person to call COVID-19 a hoax.[5] The tour concluded in August 2021, following allegations that $300,000 had been stolen from the tour's budget.[17] He also promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory.[1]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Burning Bright and Chris Paul dive into Vice, Adam McKay's star-studded portrayal of Dick Cheney, for a sharp, layered discussion about propaganda, controlled opposition, and how narratives are weaponized across decades. They explore how the film cleverly uses the Bush years to smear Trump by proxy, blending truth with cynicism to rebrand neoconservatives as the “good Republicans” liberals can stomach. The hosts dissect the unitary executive theory, the administrative state's grip on power, and why Cheney was never just an outlier but a vessel for the same entrenched system driving perpetual war. From the Iraq invasion's marketing campaign to the hidden hand behind Israel's influence, Chris and Burning Bright examine how McKay's film sidesteps deeper truths in favor of a palatable villain story that leaves the real machine untouched. Along the way, they reflect on their own political awakenings, the legacy of 9/11-era narratives, and the recent echoes of Bush-era rhetoric in the Trump years. Part history lesson, part cultural autopsy, this episode is a reminder that the most effective propaganda is the one that feels true, especially when it flatters the audience's sense of moral superiority.

Bienvenidos a su podcast en busca de la verdad donde todos son bien recibidos y solo pretendemos entretener e informar lo mas objetivamente posible de lo que acontece en este mundo de locos. Me gustaria refrescarles la memoria con la expresión “eje del mal” que fue utilizada originalmente el 29 de enero de 2002 por el entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos George W. Bush​ para describir a los regímenes que supuestamente apoyaban el terrorismo. Los estados-nación que Bush mencionó en su discurso fueron Irak, Irán y Corea del Norte, a los cuales posteriormente se agregaron Libia, Siria y Cuba. Todos sabemos, o deberíamos saber para empezar, que el 11S fue una bandera falsa y que jamas aparecieron armas de destrucción masiva ni en Irak, ni en Libia y muy posiblemente tampoco existan en Corea del Norte. El señor Bush olvidó que casi 20 años antes fueron asesinados el mismo numero de seres humanos en la matanza de Sabra y Chatila que los asesinados el 11S y que fue un 11 de septiembre de 1982 cuando las fuerzas internacionales que iban a garantizar la seguridad de los refugiados palestinos abandonaron Beirut. En este caso ni sus asesinos directos, falangistas antipalestinos junto a soldados israelíes, ni su impulsor político jamas fueron juzgados. A principios de junio de 2025, la situación geopolítica global se ha tensado significativamente debido a una serie de eventos que incrementaron los temores sobre una posible escalada hacia un conflicto mayor, incluso una tercera guerra mundial. El 1 de junio de 2025, Ucrania llevó a cabo la "Operación Telaraña", un ataque masivo con 117 drones contra aeródromos rusos en regiones como Múrmansk, Irkutsk, Ivánovo, Riazán y Amur, destruyendo o dañando al menos 12 aviones estratégicos rusos (o sea capaces de transportar armas nucleares), incluidos bombarderos Tu-95, Tu-22M3 y un avión de alerta temprana A-50. La acción provocó una fuerte reacción rusa, con Vladimir Putin calificando a Zelenski de "terrorista" el 5 de junio y declarando el fin de las posibilidades de un acuerdo de paz. Esta escalada, combinada con la retórica beligerante y los ataques rusos en represalia el 6 de junio contra Kyiv, Lutsk y Ternópil, que dejaron al menos tres muertos y 49 heridos, alimentó especulaciones sobre un conflicto global, como expresó el economista Jeffrey Sachs al advertir sobre "jugar con el apocalipsis" tras los ataques ucranianos. Realmente quedo en nada. Paralelamente, en Oriente Próximo, la escalada entre Israel e Irán alcanzó un nuevo pico en los días previos al viernes 13 de junio de 2025. Israel ejecutó una operación masiva contra Irán, atacando simultáneamente instalaciones nucleares, bases militares y figuras clave, incluyendo científicos nucleares y altos mandos como Hossein Salami, líder de la Guardia Revolucionaria. Esta ofensiva, que incluyó el uso de drones explosivos instalados previamente en Irán, fue comparada con la "Operación Telaraña" ucraniana por su sofisticación y planificación a largo plazo. Teherán confirmó la muerte de al menos seis científicos nucleares y reportó decenas de víctimas por los ataques israelíes, mientras que Israel advirtió a los iraníes que evacuaran zonas cercanas a sitios militares. La operación, que buscó neutralizar las capacidades de misiles y el programa nuclear iraní, marcó un cambio estratégico al atacar no solo infraestructura, sino también la cúpula militar y científica del país. Este intercambio, descrito como la cuarta oleada de bombardeos iraníes contra Israel en 24 horas el 14 de junio, intensificó las tensiones globales, con temores de una escalada que podría involucrar a otras potencias. No es la primera vez que Israel intenta neutralizar la tecnología nuclear iraní asesinando a los científicos iranies implicados en su desarrollo. El 11 de enero de 2012 podiamos leer el siguiente titular en Europa Press: “Irán denuncia que el atentado en Teherán es "obra de los sionistas”. En dicha noticia se nos contaba como una bomba magnética colocada en los bajos del automóvil del profesor universitario Ahmadi Roshan había acabado con su vida. Era director de las instalaciones de enriquecimiento de uranio de Natanz. Pero es que otro profesor universitario y científico nuclear, Masoud Alí Mohammadi, fue asesinado en un ataque terrorista con bomba en Teherán el 11 de enero de 2010. Otra bomba magnética situada en su coche a finales de ese mismo año se cobró la vida de Majid Shahriari, fundador de la Sociedad Nuclear de Irán, concretamente el 29 de noviembre, o sea 11 y 11. Ese mismo dia intentaron también asesinar a Fereydun Abbasi, doctorado en Física Nuclear y que investigaba para el ministerio de Defensa Iraní. Ambos eventos, el ataque ucraniano del 1 de junio y los bombardeos israelíes contra Irán alrededor del 13 y 14 de junio, han sido señalados como puntos críticos que podrían desestabilizar aún más el orden internacional. La combinación de estas acciones, junto con la retórica de líderes como Putin y las preocupaciones expresadas en foros internacionales, ha llevado a analistas y medios, como se vio en publicaciones en X, a advertir sobre el riesgo de un conflicto global. Esto es lo que todos sabemos a través de los medios, y ahora os contare algunas incongruencias. Lo más curioso de incluir a Irán en este eje del mal es que Estados Unidos ha sido el encargado de ayudar a Irán a fortalecerse económica y tecnológicamente sobre todo en tema nuclear. El programa nuclear iraní contaba con reactores de agua pesada presurizada o PHWR, que se sepa el de Arak. Este es un tipo de reactor nuclear que usa agua pesada. En vez de utilizar H2O como moderador de neutrones y refrigerante se emplea óxido de deuterio, esto es, D2O a alta presión. El agua normal tiene afinidad a absorber los neutrones, lo que deja un número insuficiente de los mismos para reaccionar con las pequeñas cantidades de U235 presentes en el uranio natural, sin embargo el agua pesada no absorbe los neutrones tan fácilmente ya que el deuterio ya dispone del neutrón extra que normalmente el agua tendería a absorber. Esto permite que el U235 presente en el uranio natural sea suficiente para mantener la criticidad, o sea, mantener la reacción en cadena. Este tipo de reactores permiten producir plutonio y no necesitan de la alta tecnologia de las centrifugadoras para separar el U235 del resto de isótopos de uranio. Dichos reactores proceden del llamado Programa nuclear de Irán que empezó bajo el mandato del Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi de Irán en la década de 1950, con la ayuda obviamente de los Estados Unidos de América. Con la creación de la agencia atómica de Irán y con la firma del NPT (Tratado de no Proliferación Nuclear), el Sha planeó la construcción para el año 2000 de hasta 23 estaciones de energía nuclear por todo el país en conjunto con los EE.UU. En 1976 se firma un tratado estando Gerald Ford como presidente de USA, Dick Cheney, como su Jefe de Gabinete en la Casa Blanca, Donald Rumsfeld como el Secretario de Defensa y Paul Wolfowitz, dentro de la Agencia de Control de Armas y Desarme lo que permitiría a Irán comprar y operar una instalación de procesamiento, de fabricación estadounidense, para extraer plutonio. Estas cuatro personas citadas están en la actualidad entre los mayores opositores al programa nuclear iraní, pero estuvieron involucrados en la promoción de un programa nuclear iraní que permitiera extraer plutonio del combustible de un reactor nuclear. Les ruego que lean el breve texto sobre el Programa nuclear de Irán de la wikipedia para que se den cuenta que no solo USA ha ayudado a Irán a ser una potencia nuclear si no que científicos argentinos, europeos o chinos también han contribuido. Dejare un enlace en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox. La empresa colectiva Kraftwerk Union formada por Siemens AG y AEG Telefunken, se retiró del proyecto nuclear de Bushehr en julio de 1979, dejando un reactor completo en un 50%, y el otro reactor en un 85% completo. Se terminaría gracias a la ayuda de Rusia. Después de la Revolución de 1979, Irán informó al Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA) de sus planes para reiniciar su programa nuclear utilizando combustible nuclear de fabricación doméstica y en eso ha estado desde ese momento. A pesar de los supuestos bloqueos ordenados por la ONU y la crisis diplomática de 2005 por el reinicio del enriquecimiento de uranio las centrifugadoras para separar el U235 del uranio natural han seguido llegando. Recuerdo perfectamente como dentro de la operación Atalanta en Somalia un barco militar español detecto un cargamento de dichas maquinas que tenia como destino Irán. Desgraciadamente me es imposible encontrar dicha noticia, pero pasar, pasó. Antes de julio de 2015, Irán tenía grandes reservas de uranio enriquecido y casi 20.000 centrífugadoras, lo suficiente para crear entre ocho y 10 bombas, según la inteligencia de EE.UU. El 2 de abril de 2015 el grupo de 5+1 con Estados Unidos a la cabeza levanto las sanciones económicas y de colaboración tecnológica con Irán. Irán tuvo acceso a más de 100.000 millones de dólares en activos congelados en el exterior, y pudo reanudar sus exportaciones de petróleo a mercados internacionales utilizando el sistema financiero de comercio global. Estados Unidos no solo le brindo su apoyo tecnológico desde el primer minuto es que sin su participación hubiera sido imposible el crecimiento económico como pais de Irán. En cuanto al tema de las centrifugadoras ya empieza a cansar la verdad... Para hacer un poco de memoria el "inventor" de la primera centrifugadora fue Fritz Lange un científico alemán (como no) por allá los años 30...hasta los años 50 no se volvieron a crear las primeras centrifugadoras comerciales de mano del Prof. Max Steenbeck. Las primeras funcionaban a una velocidad de 240 m/s pero tenían dificultades técnicas (gran tamaño, fugas de gas, no podían trabajar en serie) y hasta el 1952 no se logro crear las digamos del modelo actual que permiten transferir el gas de una a otra en cascada para "purificar" mas el gas de uranio UF6. Fue un científico ruso, Eugeni Kamenev el que logro tal hazaña. Estas ya giraban a 320 m/s. En el 1953 interviene Gernot Zippe un ingeniero austriaco y le da otra vuelta de tuerca y la patenta...creando las de diseño occidental, tanto rusas como anglo derivan todas de este diseño. Hoy en día han evolucionado desde los 3m de altura de las primeras al medio metro de altura de las actuales, la 9 generación...y de los 300 m/seg a los mas de 700 m/seg de las actuales. Las imagenes de los "armatostes" que nos ofrecen por la television de las centrifugadoras iranies (que son imagenes grabadas por la IAEA en sus "incursiones" en busca de armas atómicas) nos indican que o bien los iranies han sabido guardar bien las de tecnologia occidental que compraron en el mercado negro (y que un barco de guerra español retuvo durante unas horas por error...:D) o ciertamente el virus israelí funciono a la perfección dejándolas inoperantes... Sea como sea centrifugadoras sobran en el mundo...los rusos tienen factorías para producir cientos de miles al año, en la Gorkovski Automobile Plant llamada en clave GAZ y en The Urals Electrochemical, entre ambas plantas se podrían fabricar unas 150.000 maquinas centrifugadoras al año. Aparte de que los rusos en su complejo de enriquecimiento ruso funciona cerca de su capacidad nominal de aproximadamente 20 millones de SWU/año, enviar unos cuantos contenedores a Irán no seria ningún problema. El término SWU significa "Unidad de Trabajo de Separación" (por sus siglas en inglés, Separative Work Unit), y se usa para medir el esfuerzo necesario para enriquecer uranio, es decir, para aumentar la proporción de uranio-235 para comvertirlo en combustible nuclear. Entre 100 y 200.000 SWU son necesarios para producir el combustible que utilizara un reactor nuclear en un año. Por lo que 20 millones de SWU dan para muchas bombas. Hay que crear enemigos convincentes como bien se decía en el informe Iron Mountain para hacer creíble una guerra. En la penúltima linea de la portada de The Economist con la previsión del 2020 podíamos leer NPT y después WAR, o sea Tratado de No Proliferación Nuclear y Guerra. Yo creo que no podia ser más claro el mensaje. Han tenido 5 años para planificar el teatrillo que estamos observando entre Irán e Israel. El general retirado de las fuerzas estadounidenses, Wesley Clark, aseguró ante el público que la orden el mismo 11 de septiembre era invadir 7 países árabes en 5 años. Leo las palabras textuales de “Con el Mazo dando” en la descripción del video donde sale este general y que podréis encontrar en la descripción de este podcast. “Lo cierto es que poco después de Afganistán vino Irak, luego Libia, poco después Siria, Yemen y Pakistán; sólo les falta la joya de la corona: Irán. Cuando se les cayó la tesis de Al Qaeda, porque era imposible que el imperio más grande de la historia no pudiese encontrar a un sólo hombre y no pudiese derrotar a una organización de mil locos, tuvieron que "asesinar" a su líder Osama Bin Laden (cuyo cadaver fue "tirado al mar"). Ahora se inventaron un nuevo enemigo más fuerte, de mayores dimensiones llamado Estado Islámico. Es muy curioso que de las cenizas del Medio Oriente, un territorio que ya tiene 24 años de bombardeos, pobreza, hambre y miseria, surja un movimiento con una tecnología y capacidad de fuego más grande que muchos de los Estados que están allí. Y lo más curioso es que este grupo de "radicales islámicos" le declare la guerra a Irán y no se la declare a Israel.” Creo que debemos estar tranquilos ya que hay fuerzas poderosas enfrentadas que no quieren una tercera guerra mundial tal y como les contaba en el destrozadisimo articulo mío “La ley de Murphy dice que evitaremos la tercera guerra mundial”. Allí contaba como el enorme avispero que se ha creado en toda esa zona se cita en el proyecto Gran Israel o plan Yinon…y es que el proyecto Gran Israel se les quedo pequeño hace mucho y ahora planean llevar a cabo uno mucho mas ambicioso llamado fronteras de sangre. Todos y cada de uno de los países que están en esa zona han invertido ingentes cantidades de dinero en armamento, Turquía, Egipto, Irak, Irán, Arabia Saudi que esta siendo dotada de energía nuclear gracias a los norteamericanos, Siria, Emiratos árabes, Yemen, Afganistán, Pakistan, no digamos Israel…incluso la hundida económicamente Grecia ha invertido gran parte de su deuda en armamento. Digamos para terminar que Irán podría tener disponible hace ya bastantes años unas cuantas bombas atómicas de ultima generación y que por tanto estos últimos ataques israelíes son tan solo un teatrillo para intentar escenificar una posible 3 guerra mundial. Ni Israel ha ido con todo contra Irán ni Irán ha respondido con la contundencia que podría hacerlo. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ¿Por qué afirmo que todo esto es un teatrillo? Pues entre muchos motivos porque justamente el dia de mi cumpleaños, el 8 de junio, la nieta del antiguo rey iraní, del sha de Persia Iman Pahlavi, se ha casado con un empresario judío. En los medios nos lo venden como un empresario de éxito de una tecnológica de reparto con drones llamado Bradley Sherman. La joven Iman Pahlavi, de 31 años, cuyo abuelo fue Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi e hija del príncipe heredero exiliado Reza Pahlavi, se casó con el empresario Bradley Sherman en una ceremonia formal a la que asistieron destacados miembros de la familia real iraní y que siguió las costumbres tradicionales de las bodas judías. Pero resulta que este empresario de éxito comparte el apellido con el mismísimo yerno de Trump, el apellido Kushner. Se llama Bradley Sherman Kushner, aunque os costara encontrar algo de información al respecto. Yo lo sé gracias a haber visto el tremendo video de Hector, el hilo rojo, junto a sus dos contertulios de siempre, Julio y Elias Grima del canal SoloClima. Su video tenia el subtitulo de “A las puertas de la tercera guerra mundial nuclear” pero ya os aviso que ni de coña se va a producir. Va a ver una escalada, eso si, hasta el momento cumbre que será en julio. Jared Kushner es el yerno de Donald Trump, casado con Ivanka Trump. Jared Kushner vive en el 666 de la sexta avenida donde está el Zara principal y su hermano Joshua Kushner (hijo del magnate empresarial Charles Kushner) es el fundador de la firma de inversión, Thrive Capital, cofundada junto a Oscar Health. No hace falta que os diga que el documental Thrive (Prosperar) que fue presentado por el primogénito de la multinacional Procter & Gamble, Foster Gamble ha resultado un truco que nos vendía la New Age y la agenda 2030. Una de sus ofertas era que descartaremos el dinero en metálico y aceptaremos de buen grado el digital. Realmente no estamos como para ir destruyendo la tecnologia que tanto esfuerzo ha costado crear. Y la tecnologia nuclear es de las caras. Así que creo que todo este teatrillo se va a dar la vuelta para volver a traer a la antigua familia real persa a Irán. Están en Estados Unidos viviendo a lo grande. Lo pueden comprobar viendo las fotografías de la boda de la nietisima. Uno de los eventos astrológicos más significativos de julio de 2025 es la entrada de Urano en Géminis, que ocurre el 7 de julio de 2025. Este tránsito marca el inicio de un ciclo que durará aproximadamente hasta 2033, con una breve retrogradación a Tauro entre noviembre de 2025 y abril de 2026. Urano, conocido como el planeta de la revolución, la innovación y los cambios súbitos, cambia de signo cada siete años aproximadamente, por lo que este es un evento de gran relevancia tanto a nivel personal como colectivo. Hoy, 17 de junio, el príncipe heredero Reza Pahlaví, hijo del último Sah, se dirigirá al pueblo iraní en un mensaje oficial a las 9:00 p.m. Un mes mas tarde, el 17 de julio de 2025: Saturno estará casi en conjunción con Neptuno en Aries. Los tránsitos de Urano en Géminis han coincidido con eventos históricos significativos, como la Revolución Americana, la Guerra Civil de EE.UU. y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dicho esto, yo no soy especialmente creyente en la astrología y tampoco creo que hablar sobre ello sea malo “per se”. Lo que tengo claro es que las elites psicopatocraticas si creen en la astrología y la utilizan. Por ello creo que el cambio de gobierno en Irán, de producirse, acontecerá a mediados de julio. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Un periódico llamado “La correspondencia militar” mostró en un titular uno de los famosos duelos de Blasco Ibáñez. Allí veíamos en un apartado titulado “Cuestión Resuelta” como se utilizaban los tres puntos en forma de pirámide para separar el primer párrafo. ¿Por qué un periódico de tendencia militar utilizaría los tres puntos de la masonería y terminaría felicitando al valiente duelista Blasco Ibáñez? ¿No les suena muy actual esa forma de proceder? "Conoce el pasado y podrás luchar en el futuro.” Otra frase interesante es la que comparte Ardi con todos nosotros: "La propaganda no está pensada para convertir a la gente en idiota, sino que se dirige a los idiotas desde el principio" George Bernard Shaw Y termino con una mia: “Experimentar es creer. Creer es empezar a ver. Ver es empezar a experimentar.” ……………………………………………………………………………………….

What is behind the fall of both the Democrat and Republican Parties? As the establishment becomes more disillusioned, Americans are sick of seeing candidates like Kamala Harris cozy up to politicians like Dick Cheney. California continues to fall under the Democrat leadership of Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass, leading to a new homelessness-industrial complex and misleading constituents on crime and immigration. Will the neoliberal activists lead a quiet coup inside the Democrat Party? Is RFK Jr.'s switch a signal of the media industry's crumbling influence? Learn more about your ad choices.

Give to help Chris make Truce Gerald Ford's administration was in trouble. The country was experiencing stagflation, where prices were going up but employment was going down. What could he do? He announced his desire to lower taxes. This proposal was met with opposition by... Ronald Reagan. Reagan was worried that these cuts would increase the national debt. Then, just a few years later, Reagan changed his mind. Two major things happened. One was the invention of supply-side economics (also called trickle-down economics) and the other was the tax revolt of the 1970s. Supply-side economics was invented by an economist named Arthur Laffer. His ideas were based on an old concept but with a new twist. Laffer and his friends published their ideas in The Wall Street Journal and shared them with people like Dick Cheney. Author and historian Rick Perlstein joins us for this episode. His books are The Invisible Bridge and Reaganland. Sources: The Invisible Bridge and Reaganland by Rick Perlstein NPR story about Laffer's napkin legend International Inequalities Institute study of supply-side economics Investopedia article comparing inflation rates Reagan's "Restore America" speech Ford Library's documents about Reagan's inaccuracies in his speech Federal Reserve article about inflation. Here's another History of COVID stimulus payments Investopedia article on Keynes Zombie Economics by John Quiggin Historical tax bracket rates Proposition 13 article Discussion Questions: What is supply-side economics? How does it compare to Keynes' ideas? Does the Bible specify a tax policy? Where did you first hear about trickle-down economics? Who benefits from it the most? Rick Perlstein, former President George HW Bush, John Quiggin, and many others say that supply-side economics is bogus. What do you think? Why might supply-side economics appeal to some evangelicals?

  It's always interesting to find out that public figures can be as obsessed with fly fishing as we are. People like Harrison Ford, Jeff Daniels, Tucker Carlson, Bette Midler, Jimmy Kimmel, and Dick Cheney are all serious fly fishers. (And no, I don't have any of them on tap for my podcast). But Rahm Emanuel [37:25] is a dedicated listener to this podcast, and when I had a chance to interview him I took it. There is no politics in this podcast interview—just a fanatic fly fisher who talks about why he loves it, how he finds time in his busy life to go fly fishing, and what excites him the most about it. This was a lively and fun interview with a fair amount of good-natured ribbing.    In the Fly Box this week I have no voice files to play (hint, hint) but lots of great e-mails with interesting questions and a few tips from listeners, including: A listener looks for advice on how to carry his fishing gear on a plane. How do I fish plunge pools? Why don't I catch anything in the deep spot below the waterfall? What rods do I need for fishing both small streams in Smoky Mountain streams and steelhead fishing in Ohio? A listener gives advice on the Orvis Dropper Rig Fly Box and why you need to check local regulations before you use a 3-fly rig. A listener relates a story of his great customer service experience Why did trout smash my size 20 dry fly but not connect? Will smallmouth bass and rainbow trout hold in the same water? What knots do you recommend for different presentations and why? What is the best way to get my fly under the mangroves without hanging up?

SEASON 3 EPISODE 109: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: How do you remove a Senate Democratic Leader? CAN you remove a Senate Democratic Leader? Oh my, yes. You can do it before the top of the hour. Certainly before tomorrow. I'll lay it out for you. It can happen provided you note Schumer is having a book event tonight at the Enoch Pratt Central Library in Baltimore at 7 PM. It takes a little guts. Takes angry civilians. Takes the 36 Senate Democrats and one Independent whom Chuck Schumer betrayed to stick their necks out again. Takes the whole lot of them to run the minor risk of fracturing the Senate caucus or the Democratic Party - but why not? It's not like they're doing anything. Not when TWO new polls suggest Democrats are fed up with this group, that vast majorities demand RESISTANCE to Trump, not bipartisan crap, that the leader who best represents the ideals of the party is AOC (10%) as opposed to Obama (4%) and Schumer (2%) and worst of all - nobody (30%). We should be talking about resistance, about Trump being twelve points underwater on the economy, about Musk retweeting the claim that Hitler didn't commit the holocaust, his public sector workers did, about Trump beginning to defy court orders to illegally deport people to third-party strongman states. But we're not - because of Chuck Schumer. Time for him to GO. B-Block (23:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The world is coming apart and Politico devoted its lead 26 paragraphs to a journalism party. Alina Habba is a moron, Part 9,763. And Marco Rubio and the "president" of El Salvador are mocking American law. See you at the World Court, boys. C-Block (33:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I'm under the weather and that always flashes me back to the day I was 21 and my doctor since my childhood gave me some muscle relaxants without warning me of the side effects.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, does the supposed hostage deal being pushed by the United States require Israel to release scores of terrorists? Reports say that there's enormous pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu to allegedly release multiple scores of Palestinian terrorists and convicted criminals in exchange for the hostages, even if it means the collapse of the Netanyahu conservative government. Hopefully, this is not true. Also, Pete Hegseth did extremely well during his confirmation hearing, but the Democrats dirtied themselves even though the Democrats, who have undermined our military repeatedly, posed as defenders of the military, they failed miserably.  In fact, they essentially continued promoting wokeism and politics at the Pentagon and the allegations that were already pushed in and by the media, respecting Hegseth's character, didn't go anywhere. Hegseth conducted himself very well during the Democrat inquisition and there is no reason any Republican should vote against his confirmation. Some are questioning, what qualifies Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. What qualified Pete Buttigieg to run transportation? Dick Cheney was Secretary of Defense and never served in the military. Sometimes you must rely on a person's life experience. Finally, Sen Eric Schmitt calls in to discuss his role at the Hegseth hearings today. He explains that Hegseth will root out DEI at the Department of Defense, which is poison, it has no place in our military. Hegseth is the change agent President-Elect Trump wanted.

It's Friday, January 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Seattle street preacher censored for Biblical speech Being a street preacher is difficult work. But it's a lot more difficult when violent activists are trying to shut you down—and when the local police aid them in silencing you, reports Alliance Defending Freedom. That's what happened to Pastor Matthew Meinecke of Seattle. But thanks to the efforts of ADF, this evangelist is once again free to share the Gospel on his city's streets. Meinecke has been publicly ministering in Seattle for years. He reads the Bible aloud and often holds signs and hands out literature. On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court rightly overturned Roe v. Wade. Pro-abortion demonstrators gathered in Seattle to protest the decision. Meinecke also attended the protest—not to speak about abortion however, but to read from the Bible and share the Gospel message. Not surprisingly, his message was not well received in Seattle. Protesters surrounded Meinecke, grabbed his Bible, and ripped pages out. As the demonstrators grew more aggressive, the street preacher took hold of a traffic sawhorse. Protesters then picked Meinecke up, along with the sawhorse, and dropped him on the pavement across the street. When Meinecke got up and began reading from the Scriptures again, protesters knocked him back down and took one of his shoes. When police officers finally arrived, they ordered Meinecke to leave. When he declined, they arrested him. Matthew Meinecke should not have been censored, much less arrested, for peacefully sharing his views in a public place. The First Amendment guarantees him, and every American, the rights of free speech and religious freedom, both of which he was exercising peacefully. So Meinecke, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, filed a lawsuit against the city. While a federal district court sided with the city, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the actions of the officers, i.e., the city, presented a content-based burden on Meinecke's expressive activity. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” Cybertruck exploded in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas A Tesla Cybertruck exploded and burst into flames Wednesday morning at 8:40am just outside the entrance of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing a soldier named Matthew Alan Livelsberger who was inside the vehicle and injuring several others standing nearby, reports NBC News.  It blew up after an improvised explosive was detonated in the truck's bed. Livelsberger, age 37, was a master sergeant in the U.S. Army's elite special forces unit and a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Authorities said a military ID, a passport, and credit cards found at the scene were in Livelsberger's name, but that the body in the Cybertruck was “burned beyond recognition.” While investigators are still awaiting DNA or medical record confirmation of the body's identity, other evidence indicated Livelsberger had died, including tattoos on the body's stomach and arms. The body recovered from the Cybertruck sustained an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle. The suspicious blast is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack. The blast came hours after a driver in a rented pickup truck, who was flying an ISIS flag, plowed into New Year's Eve revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 and injuring more than 30 others before he was shot dead by police. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill said that the pickup truck and the Tesla in the Las Vegas explosion were rented from the same online platform named Turo. Livelsberger's long military career included deployments to the Republic of Congo in 2014, Ukraine in 2016, Tajikistan in 2016, and Afghanistan in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Chris Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, said this at a press conference in Louisiana. RAIA: “At this point, there is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas." Nonetheless, the fact that the incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas came just hours apart and both appeared to involve military members with somewhat similar backgrounds has been noted by officials. Biden honors Liz Cheney with Presidential Citizens Medal In a clear slam of President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday, President Joe Biden honored former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming with the Presidential Citizens Medal for both her work on the special House committee that investigated the January 6, 2021 event at the Capitol and for speaking out about the importance of democracy, reports The Hill. Needless to say, Cheney actively campaigned against Trump's re-election bid and endorsed Kamala Harris, the leftist Democrat, for President, along with her father, Dick Cheney, who served as George W. Bush's Vice President. Lowe's delivered 100 tiny homes for Hurricane Helene families in North Carolina And finally, many families in Western North Carolina were facing Christmas still in need of housing, after Hurricane Helene devastated their towns, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Listen. LADY #1: “It was a nightmare. I have never, ever seen it like this.” LADY #2: “Got out of bed to look down to watch water pouring into the house.” LADY #1: “It came so fast, and I went out and I was holding on to the bottom of the rail, and I had water up to my neck.” LADY #2: “That was the beginning of what has been the longest three months of my life.” LADY #1: “I feel like we got forgotten.” In the midst of a tragic situation, Lowe's Home Improvement Stores wanted to help. LOWE'S SPOKESWOMAN: “Our goal is to create 100 tiny homes for people in Western North Carolina. To be able to build tiny homes, to give people a sense of hope, to give people a sense of neighbors helping neighbors. I just really think that this is going to mean a lot. This weather has gotten bad.” Thanks to Lowe's financial investment of building materials and hundreds of volunteer home builders, those 100 tiny homes were built and installed in time for Christmas Eve. The tiny homes, which include heat and all the necessities—like a kitchen, bathroom, and two full-size beds—allow families to remain in their neighborhood while their permanent home is rebuilt. Each home included fresh seasonal greenery, furnishings, and décor all donated by Lowe's. The recipients of those tiny homes were beyond grateful. LADY #1: “Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. It is so gorgeous. I don't know what to say. It's beautiful. I can't believe it. I got my new home, my tiny home. (laughing) It's awesome.” “I am so grateful. I was blessed beyond. Because honestly, I thought we were forgotten.” In Matthew 10:29-31, Jesus asked, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So, don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, January 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Or get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

“I can't believe I'm hearing you say this,” says Ana Kasparian, producer and host of "The Young Turks." Although she and Glenn have always represented opposite sides of the political aisle, in this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," they find a surprisingly wide array of topics to agree on. They agree that the “mainstream media plays defense for the Democrat Party” and that we must ban government stock trading. Although she once bought the mainstream narrative, Ana woke up to the reality of the border crisis when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott started busing migrants to blue cities, and she recognizes there is a “problem with Biden neglecting the border.” Glenn admits that the Democrats were right about Big Pharma, he was “wrong about the Iraq War,” and that he, like Ana, is totally flabbergasted by the pro-war Democrats and Kamala Harris welcoming an endorsement by Dick Cheney. The pair debate the limits of free speech, states' rights, abortion, federal minimum wage, and unionized workers before strategizing how to get money and corporate interests out of politics. Ana reveals that she was not “surprised on election night at all,” and, even though her audience hates when she says so, “Trump is funny.” Both Glenn and Ana hope these kinds of conversations can begin to heal our national division and help us come together to create a more perfect union.        Sponsors     Relief Factor     Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

SERIES 3 EPISODE 71: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has started down the path to purges of the military, political prosecutions and show trials. His fascists have actually leaked plans to court-martial and even seek treason charges against army leadership and even retired generals. NBC News reports: "“The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan. Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal… and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason… “They're taking it very seriously,” the person with knowledge of the plan said." Thus, President Biden has to proactively pardon ALL of them. In point of fact, President Biden must now assemble a list of thousands of people to pardon – in the military – in the Democratic party – in state and local governments – in election supervision - in the media – in the protest movements – in the climate movement – people in any of the fields this psychopath Trump thinks wronged him and against which he is not only plotting retribution but now actively PLANNING it. Hegseth, already facing an unlikely confirmation due to, you know, Crusader Tats, has now been revealed to have paid off a woman after a sexual assault allegation in 2017. Trump may throw him under a bus but he's reportedly doubled down on Matt Gaetz at DOJ: “Trump wants Gaetz confirmed ‘100%' a source told CNN. ‘He is not going to back off. He's all in'” This figures to turn on whether or not Trump and the majority of Republican Senators who will not vote for Gaetz meet in the middle - and the middle is a Recess Appointment (and a dictatorship). So, back to my earlier point about Pardons. B-Block (23:30) SPECIAL COMMENT 2: There IS much to do, no matter how January 20th and the days thereafter play out. You want some practical advice? A little spiritual inspiration? St. Hubbins Day if not St. Crispin's Day? Got half an hour? Cause I have half an hour of advice. C-Block (56:0) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Haven't done these in awhile but somebody was asking about our election night and special political coverage at MSNBC in 2004-06-08-10 and I flashed back to the continuing adventure that was Chris Matthews - particularly how he began ogling a prominent woman in the church at a presidential funeral and I was assigned to get him to stop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
