The Rapture. It's a pretty weird event. In the blink of an eye, millions – perhaps billions - of people just disappear. In the Christian religion, the Rapture is an event that is believed will take place during the end times and before the Second Coming of Yeshua when He returns to the Earth in judgement. But is the Rapture taught in the Bible? Along with the Rapture, many Christian denominations teach that there will be a 7-year Tribulation before Christ makes his Second Coming to Earth. And again we ask, does the Bible teach such things? The Rapture? The Tribulation? It can all be very confusing. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

Mike and Jared discuss how the Trump Administration and its allies have escalated their efforts to censor and criminalize their opponents in wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. They also talk about the ways leaders in business and media – even “anti-hate” nonprofits – have been spooked into self-censorship.Then, Jared shares an interview he did with Kelly Jensen. She's a former librarian and writer celebrated for her coverage of movements to ban books from libraries. Their conversation expands beyond books to cover the Right's attacks on public institutions overall and what normal people can do about it. As you'd expect from a former librarian, Kelly put together an incredibly thorough reading list for listeners to check out.​“Charlie Kirk opposed free speech but the media won't tell you that” – Madeline Peltzhttps://www.patreon.com/PostingThroughItLinks for Kelly:​Book Riot newsletter: “Weekly Literary Activism”​Kelly's newsletter, “Well Sourced”​Blueksy: @heykellyjensen.bsky.socialStories Kelly referenced:​Timeline of IMLS Cuts, Impact to Libraries, and More​The Lie of "Local Control," as Texas and Florida Signal What's Next in Book Censorship​Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida Book Ban Bill​What's in the 596 Books Banned by the Department of Defense in their Education Activity Schools?​Politics Can Now Dictate Public Library Collections in Three States, Thanks to Fifth Circuit Ruling​South Carolina Bans 10 More Books Statewide​Utah Bans 18th Book Statewide from Public Schools​The Anti-Book Ban Bills Passed in 2025 and What They Mean​Pride is Disappearing in Libraries​Why Would a County Evict Its Public Library Over $1?​Wyoming Proposes Extreme Anti-Library Bill​Public Libraries On the Chopping Block, 2025 Edition​As local governments struggle with budgets, they discover libraries, museums as new revenue sources​Menomonee Falls diverts $300k from library to police budgetTransition Music: “Portions for Foxes” by Rilo Kiley

This past week unspecified interpretive materials related to slavery were either removed or tagged for removal from Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia. It also was reported that a troubling photo known as the “Scourged Back” that depicted the scar-riddled back of an enslaved man was taken down from Fort Pulaski National Monument in Georgia. The National Park System has been pulled into the current-day battles of wokeism of sorts through the removal of those, and likely other, interpretive materials in the parks that help us better understand enslaved history. Where it will end, or whether it will be reversed, is unknown. To better understand what's transpiring and what the impacts are, we've invited Alan Spears, the senior director for cultural resources at the National Parks Conservation Association, to join us today.

Kevin Freeman traces the arc from 1980s optimism — thousands of investable public companies and rapid innovation — to today's halved stock count amid soaring GDP and population. He argues that financialization, heavy regulation (SOX, Dodd-Frank), and abundant private capital pushed companies to stay private, widening the wealth gap and fueling socialist sentiment. Examples like Uber illustrate how gains accrue privately while retail investors face late access and higher risk; meanwhile, dollar debasement and the Cantillon effect amplify inequality. Freeman advocates restoring opportunity via sound money (state gold/silver initiatives), lighter but fair regulation, stronger IP protection, and expanded public access to high-growth firms, urging policy action to revive broad-based capitalism.

Rosina Philippe lives in Grand Bayou Indian Village, a community that is entirely based in water. The homes, along with the church, can only be reached by boat. This was not always the case. “We had solid ground beneath our feet,” she recalls. “We had garden spaces. We had fruit trees. We had lots of land where you can walk for miles.”The Atakapa-Ishak/Chawasha are a subsistence tribe, and have long relied on the bounty of the land and water: harvesting seafood, foraging for persimmons and wild celery, growing vegetables, hunting deer, ducks, and rabbits. Always, they've been guided by an ethos of taking only what they needed. “There was no such thing as overharvesting or just taking and hoarding away,” Rosina says, “because the life around us makes us possible. And as long as they were here, then we were here.”They are still a subsistence tribe. But with much of the land gone, some of their traditional foodways have become difficult or even impossible to maintain. Disappearing wetlands also means less protection from storms. Most tribal members have moved away, returning to Grand Bayou with their families for holidays.But Rosina remains, along with about a dozen other households. “I say that we're placemarkers,” she says. “A table is here and it's set and we're like a place card holding the place for others to come. I stay because of my love for my life, my life choices, my lifeway, for the ways of being with this place. I stay because I believe that the Creator in his infinite wisdom has placed my people where we belong. This is our place. This is where we were supposed to be.“And I stay because I feel that I can make a difference. if I just inspire one person, and that one person can inspire somebody else, and so on, then we continue our inhabitation.”Thanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

 "Disappearing Islands" Tonight we dive into the mysterious phenomenon of islands vanishing beneath the sea. Hosted by Steve Lindsey, Brett, and Jerry, the episode explores various theories ranging from natural causes like rising sea levels and coastal erosion to more speculative ideas involving secret military testing and corporate cover-ups. The hosts engage in a lively discussion, blending scientific explanations with conspiracy theories, and highlight the geopolitical and environmental implications of disappearing islands. The episode is both informative and entertaining, offering listeners a mix of facts, humor, and thought-provoking insights.

In Isaiah 2, Isaiah envisions a glorious future where all the nations stream to worship the Lord and all their inhabitants lay down their weapons forever. Alex, Jim, and Sam discuss and, for the first time in a while, disagree.

In this conversation, we close the villain series with the Invisible Destroyer—also known as The Nothing from The NeverEnding Story. This archetype represents the paralysis of possibility, where imagination and inspiration remain ungrounded, slowly eroding both the self and those around it. We explore how this villain shows up as addiction, avoidance, and endless questioning, and how its transformation into the Architect brings creativity into embodied form. Along the way, we unpack how this arc blends qualities of the Enneagram 5 and 6, why Radiohead may be its unofficial soundtrack, and what it really takes to move from disappearing into inertia to choosing life, creation, and presence. We close with a vivid “Am I the Asshole?” example that grounds these themes in relationship dynamics.Timestamps00:00 — Welcome, final villain in the series00:15 — Invisible Destroyer, aka The Nothing00:30 — Archetypal map: Enneagram 9, head center, separation wound, house of addiction01:20 — Why it feels like “a combo of the 5 and 6”: evasive expert + divisive immortal01:45 — The NeverEnding Story and the Nothing as lack of human attention and imagination03:00 — Paralyzed by possibility: endless questions without action04:10 — The wake of destruction from inaction and addiction04:40 — Successful Antagonist: The Questioner, delaying decisions forever06:10 — Wounded Child: The Overwhelmed, never big enough to handle life07:00 — Covert Form: The Addict, disappearing through escapism08:10 — Hero: The Embodied, choosing incarnation, creation, and presence (with pleasure as a pathway)09:20 — Legend: The Architect, building grounded worlds from imagination10:00 — Why this arc belongs at the end of the villain cycle: outward, complex, foundational10:45 — Real-life dynamics: undervaluing presence and its destructive impact on relationships11:30 — AITA case study: birthday dinner, avoidance, blocking, and the Nothing's invisibility wound13:30 — Radiohead soundtrack: How to Disappear Completely, Lotus Flower, and the addictive undertones of disappearing17:00 — Closing thoughts: start with villains 1–6 before tackling the complexity of 7–9The arc at a glancePinnacle Villain: Invisible Destroyer (The Nothing) — Inspiration ungrounded, inertia that consumes.Successful Antagonist: The Questioner — Delays action indefinitely by demanding more certainty.Wounded Child: The Overwhelmed — Believes they can never be big enough to handle life.Covert Form: The Addict — Escapes through substances or compulsions, invisibly eroding relationships.Hero: The Embodied — Chooses presence, incarnation, creativity, and embodied pleasure.Legend: The Architect — Builds tangible worlds from imagination and dreams.Key ideas and languageThe Nothing: Inaction as destruction; the void left when imagination is unused.Addiction as covert destruction: Disappearing through self-harm, leaving collateral damage.Paralysis of possibility: Asking without acting, researching without deciding.Presence as medicine: Recognizing that showing up, even imperfectly, matters.Imagination grounded: Dreams are valuable only when incarnated into lived form.Practices for listenersPleasure as embodimentUse sexual or sensual pleasure as a direct route into your body.Notice how aliveness shifts when you commit to being present in sensation.The small action rulePick one tiny step toward creation daily, even if imperfect.Doing badly is better than not doing at all.Name the overwhelmWrite down three things you cannot do right now.Then choose one thing you can do and act on it.Reclaim visibilityAsk yourself: “Where am I pretending my presence doesn't matter?”Practice showing up where you assume no one cares.Case study insightsBirthday dinner scenario: Downplaying one's presence leads to relational collapse.

September 16th, 2025,  Court Leader's Advantage Podcast EpisodeEmployee disengagement is a critical national issue, one that quietly undermines productivity, economic growth, and workplace culture across the United States. According to a2024 Gallup Corporation report:·      Only 33% of Employees are Actively Engaged in Their Work·      50% are Not Engaged They are going through the motions without energy or passion.·        17% are Actively Disengaged. They are, in somecases, sabotaging the efforts of their colleagues. These statistics paint a sobering portrait of a workforce in quiet crisis, where a majority of employees are not fully invested in their work. Gallup estimates the cost ofthis disengagement to the U.S. economy at over $1.9 trillion annually lost in productivity, absenteeism, turnover, and diminished performance. Managers point to employee shortcomings:Failure to Own Their Performance and Growth Many employees stop seeking challenges, feedback, or development. They become content to drift rather than drive.Lack of Effort to Connect with Their Job A weakened work ethic shows in a reluctance to go beyond the minimum or take full ownership of assignments.Misaligned Career Choices Some employees acceptroles that don't match their long-term goals and instead of course-correcting, allow dissatisfaction to quietly fester. Employees, in turn, point to leadership:Lack of Clear Job Expectations Unclear responsibilities and vague performance standards create a fog of uncertainty,eroding confidence and consistency.Limited Opportunities for Growth When training,mentorship, and development are absent, ambition fades and potential withers.    Not Feeling Cared About as a Person When empathy ismissing, employees may feel invisible.Poor communication Both sides agree that communication is broken; each sees the other as responsible. Employees remain silent, withdrawn, and sometimes morose. Leaders misread the silence as apathy, not alienation. What emerges is a workplace marked by quiet tensions and mutual disillusionment. Whether through micromanagement or complete detachment, the absence of meaningful feedback and recognition is deeply demoralizing. Can this be turned around before the silence becomes permanent? Today's Moderator Erika Schmid Judicial Clerk Supervisor at Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland Today's PanelElaina Cano Court Administrator, City Court, Surprise, ArizonaTeshrie Kalicharan Alternative Dispute ResolutionDirector, 9th Judicial Circuit Court in Orlando, FloridaSamantha Wallis Deputy Trial Court Administrator, Supreme Court, Coeur D'Alene, IdahoBecome part of the Conversation.

Tom Homan, President Trump's Border Czar and former Acting ICE Director, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the latest developments in Operation Midway Blitz and the effort to finish the ICE operations launched during Trump's first term. Homan also responded to Mika Brzezinski's inflammatory comments made to him on Morning Joe accusing ICE of "disappearing people," and pushed back on the dangerous rhetoric framing ICE agents as the "Gestapo" which he said puts law enforcement officers at risk every single day. Homan also responded to the left's rhetoric claiming that ICE is "racially profiling" criminals that they arrest, and you can listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

Culture is shaping how we see marriage, parenting, and even desire itself. That's why I created Desire Lab (https://hifam.com/desire ) — my membership for women who want to reignite polarity, attraction, and chemistry in long-term relationships, even when cultural messages push the opposite. Today, I'm unpacking those same culture-wide forces and how they're driving birth rates down across the West. We're told it's about money, stability, or timing… but are those really the reasons? Or is something deeper happening beneath the surface? If you've ever questioned whether parenthood is still worth it — or felt the tension between culture's messages and your own longings — this episode is for you.

A late-night joyride. Leftover fireworks. It should have been just another reckless night for two friends, pushing the boundaries of boredom the day after the 4th of July. But the darkness of the county road held something they never expected. At 4:42 a.m., their headlights fell on him: a man in a blue shirt, standing perfectly still at the mouth of the road. He raised his hand, not in greeting, but in a slow, deliberate motion that said only one thing—stop. Adrenaline surged. They hit the gas, tearing past him into the night. But curiosity—or maybe arrogance—made them circle back minutes later. That was their mistake. The man was gone. No car parked nearby, no shadow slipping into the trees, no place to vanish. Just empty fields and silence thick enough to make the air feel wrong. Who was he? A stranded traveler lost in the dark? A spirit tied to the graves that lined the road? Or something far older, waiting for the right set of headlights to catch him at just the right time? One simple detour turned into a moment frozen in memory, a night that blurred the line between the living and the dead. Because when the road tells you to stop—and you don't—sometimes what's waiting on the other side is more than you bargained for. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #Haunted #PhantomStranger #ParanormalEncounter #CemeteryGhost #HauntedRoads #BlueShirtMan #CreepyEncounter #BackRoadHaunting #Unexplained Love real ghost stories?

This week on The Commercial Property Investor Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on a powerful economic force that's reshaping nearly every industry - "The Barbell Effect". Jerry will be diving into this strategic concept, explaining how the market is being squeezed from both ends, leaving businesses in the middle vulnerable. Using well-known examples from airlines and coffee shops (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3dpjvy5em1o ) to supermarkets and hotels, he illustrates how companies are succeeding by choosing one of two clear paths: The Tech-Enabled, Low-Cost Model: Think of businesses that win on efficiency, automation, and price. The Hosted, High-End Model: These are companies that thrive on a premium, curated, and human-centric experience. Jerry shares firsthand how he's seen this play out in his own businesses and provides actionable takeaways for you. He’ll explain how understanding the barbell effect can help you vet potential tenants and make smarter, more strategic decisions to ensure your properties are aligned with long-term winners, not vulnerable middle-ground businesses.

Have you ever thought back to the early days of your drinking and remembered how just one or two drinks gave you exactly what you wanted? That light, carefree buzz—the feeling that you were relaxed, loosened up, and maybe even a little funnier. Fast forward a few years, and suddenly those same two drinks barely register. You start chasing it—three, four, maybe more—and before you know it, the sweet spot is gone. Instead of a gentle buzz, you either feel nothing… or you're over the line into drunk. That disappearing buzz is tolerance. And tolerance is the brain's way of adapting to repeated exposure to alcohol. In this episode, I want to unpack exactly why the same amount of alcohol feels weaker over time, how tolerance develops in your brain, why it fuels heavier drinking, and why that easy, carefree buzz eventually disappears altogether.

For lonely young men who have forgotten how to read, the LA Times book critic Bethanne Patrick some some simple advice: Get Queer Quicker. And to make her point, Patrick discusses five great books on today's male identity crisis - including from Keen On alums like Jessa Crispin and Andrew Lipstein. Patrick argues that reports of the literary man's death are greatly exaggerated - he's just evolved beyond the Philip Roth archetype. From Michael Douglas movies to Danish masculinity models, from toxic fathers to cross-dressing ceramicists, these books reveal how modern men are navigating identity in an era where traditional patriarchal roles have crumbled, replaced by what Crispin calls a system where "you just need to buy your way to the top." So today's anxiety-ridden men who want to get beyond the self-stimulation of Portnoy's Complaint, go to your local (indie) bookstore and GQQ. You'll find that the pages of today's books on the dilemma of maleness are a lot less sticky. 1. The Literary Man Hasn't Disappeared—He's DiversifiedReports of the "death" of literary men are exaggerated. Today's prestigious male writers are just "less likely to also be straight and white"—think Ocean Vuong, Kwame Alexander, and Alexander Chee rather than Philip Roth and Norman Mailer.2. Gen Z is "Getting Queerer Quicker"Younger generations are rejecting rigid gender binaries in literature and life, refusing categories like "romances are for women, thrillers are for men." They're making intentional choices about identity rather than accepting traditional roles.3. The Crisis is About Class, Not Just GenderBoth Jessica Crispin and Jared Yates Sexton argue that male identity crisis stems from economic inequality. The old patriarchy based on "role and responsibilities" was replaced by a system where "you just need to buy your way to the top"—leaving working-class men adrift.4. Men Need Permission to Read DiverselyPatrick's husband didn't read fiction until audiobooks gave him privacy from judgment. Men face social anxiety about being seen reading "feminine" genres, but when freed from scrutiny, they explore widely—from cozy mysteries to historical novels by women.5. Publishing's Gender ParadoxThe industry is "largely female...up to a certain level, but the C-suite people are still predominantly male." This creates resistance to books addressing men's real struggles, making important works like Richard Reeves' Of Boys and Men hard to publish through traditional channels.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Edition No228 | 20-08-2025 - So many of Putin's publicly faithful minions are dropping like flies. Businessmen, oligarchs, apparatchiks, minigarchs and occasionally intelligence personnel. This compels us to ask the question, is everything ok Vova? Are you worried about something? Are people plotting behind your back? Are they whispering about you? Or does Putin need to push some people out of the way (permanently) to make way for more fervent or more brutal loyalists? We record this episode as another oligarch has just joined the great Kobzon concert (концерт Кобзона) in the sky, in what seems to be somewhat mysterious circumstances, yet again. In August 2025, Mikhail Kenin, co‑founder and largest shareholder of Samolet Group (29% holding) — Russia's largest housing developer—died suddenly, aged 57. The company eulogized him: “Mikhail Borisovich was one of those people who leave their mark on the earth… endowed with natural talents… an excellent organiser…” (fakti.bg). But in Putin's dictatorship, you should not believe in coincidences. Russia's “vertical of power” operates without rule of law, without an impartial judiciary, without an independent legislature. This breeds a system steeped in theft, violence, and fear — eerily reminiscent of the lawless 1990s, but then the state was weak. Now we have lawlessness of the 90s combined with an overweening, powerful and paranoid state apparatus reminiscent of the 1930s. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: “Chekism” and KGB/FSB control over leadership (Wilson Center, Le Monde.fr, The New Yorker)Favarel‑Garrigues on anti‑corruption as elite discipline (Sciences Po)CSIS “Repression Trap” analysis of violence escalationWikipedia on ‘krysha', crime in 1990s Russia Medvedev's *A War Made in Russia*, mafia honor code ("ponyatiya") (Le Monde.fr)New Yorker on Kremlin-linked oligarchs and feudal orderMikhail Kenin: Fakti.bg, bne IntelliNews, AIMGROUP, UAWireAndrey Badalov: The Moscow Times, Echo, Global News, OilPriceRavil Maganov: Reuters, The Guardian, PoliticoMikhail Rogachev: Newsweek, The Times, RedditSergei Protosenya: RFERL, Business Insider, The Barents Observer, Economic TimesAvayev and Tyulyakov: Wikipedia, Reuters, Novaya Gazeta, MeduzaShulman, Melnikov, Watford: TheWeek, RFE, MeduzaAlexei Navalny: TIME, The Guardian, AP News, WSJSkripal: Wikipedia (Wikipedia)----------DESCRIPTION:The Brutal Reality of Russia's Power Structure: Oligarchs Falling Like FliesIn this gripping episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the increasingly precarious position of Russia's elite under Putin's regime. Triggered by a recent mysterious death of a prominent businessman, we explore the systematic conditions leading to the sudden and suspicious deaths of numerous oligarchs, business leaders, and officials since the Ukraine war began. We analyze the vertical of power that sustains Putin's rule—a system devoid of rule of law and permeated by fear, loyalty, and corruption. By outlining several high-profile fatalities, we underscore the brutal enforcement of loyalty and the pervasive culture of kleptocratic governance. Join us as we paint a chilling picture of how power, corruption, and fear intertwine in today's Russia.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Context00:51 The Mysterious Deaths of Putin's Inner Circle02:11 Russia's Vertical of Power05:27 The Role of Corruption and Fear06:33 Historical Context: The 1990s to Now08:31 The Mafia Code and Governance11:30 Case Studies: Recent Deaths18:20 Conclusion: The Kremlin's Deadly Grip----------

Send us a textThe disappearing golf landscape of Las Vegas takes center stage as the hosts discuss the imminent closure of Desert Pines Golf Club. While opinions on the course vary dramatically—one host defends it passionately while others criticize its conditions—they all acknowledge the sobering reality that Las Vegas is losing yet another golf course. This loss reflects the broader challenges faced by desert golf courses struggling with water conservation requirements in an era of climate change.Southern Nevada's water conservation efforts, while necessary and impressively forward-thinking, have created a new reality for golf courses in the region. The hosts explore how this impacts course conditions, especially during the brutal summer months when temperatures consistently exceed 100 degrees. They call for understanding and patience from golfers who might be quick to criticize courses without knowing the challenges they face behind the scenes.The conversation shifts to national golf news, including Team USA's underwhelming Ralph Lauren Ryder Cup apparel, described as predictably nautical and unchanged from previous years. They speculate about rumors that Rory McIlroy might defect to LIV Golf, though they question whether LIV would be getting their money's worth now that Bryson DeChambeau has emerged as golf's YouTube star.Excitement builds as the hosts announce their official sponsorship with Garson Golf, offering listeners 15% off with code DAYLIGHT15. The episode includes a live wedge giveaway to a lucky viewer and wraps up with details about their upcoming Nebraska golf trip featuring courses like Landmand and Prairie Club.If you love golf in Las Vegas, don't wait to play the courses you've been putting off. As water restrictions tighten and development pressures increase, the golf landscape is changing rapidly. Once these courses are gone, they're gone forever.Special thank goes out to our show sponsors:

In January 2024, a Coptic Christian woman waskidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam in Egypt. Irene Ibrahim Shehata, a 21-year-old medical student at Asyut National University disappeared between her mid-term exams. Her frantic family sought help from the police, but none was provided. Why? What was going on?Sadly, Irene's case is neither isolated nor rare. In Egypt, and other countries, Christian women are “disappeared,”kidnapped by Muslims, forcibly converted, married off and enslaved. How does this happen in the 21st century? Who is driving this trafficking of Christian women? What can be done to combat this evil?“Lindsay,” an associate with Coptic Solidarity, joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to shed light on this evil pattern playing out. She answers these questions and more as she brings this issue to light; an issue many would rather leave concealed in darkness.As you learn about the plight of these Christian women and girls, please pray for them. Pray for their families. Prayfor their release and return. And pray for their abductors, that in their hearts they may be convicted of their actions, repent and come to faith in Christ.  If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Have you noticed how the pleasures of life are fading away? Music, movies, celebrations, even simple joys—things that once brought us happiness now feel empty. Creativity is gone, joy is disappearing, and entertainment feels like a burden instead of a blessing.This isn't just coincidence—it's Bible prophecy unfolding before our very eyes. The Book of Enoch, Isaiah, Ecclesiastes, and many other scriptures foretold a time when “all the pleasures of life will vanish” and “the daughters of music shall be brought low.”

On a foggy back road outside Modesto, California, Mark witnessed something he still can't explain. A quiet drive with his girlfriend and her cousin took a chilling turn when a man in an old navy coat and flat cap appeared at a rural intersection—only to vanish, piece by piece, right before their eyes. There was nowhere for him to go. No cover. No time. Just… gone. Was it a ghost? A fragment of the past replaying itself? Or something still searching for the other side? One thing's for sure: foggy nights haven't felt the same since. If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

The Shat Crew trades leather jackets for Stetsons and arena rock for steel guitars with George Strait's acting debut, Pure Country. Commissioned by listener Frank Fall, this 1992 romantic drama follows country superstar "Dusty" Chandler, who's grown tired of the smoke, lasers, and screaming crowds. Disappearing from the spotlight, Dusty sets out to rediscover the joy of music—and maybe find love—while keeping his identity a secret. While Big D marvels at the film's unapologetic sincerity and old-school values, Gene wrestles with whether Dusty's “just folks” routine is genuine or a branding exercise. From ponytails to denim tuxedos, the crew dives into the movie's nostalgic Americana and debates whether its soundtrack is the true star. Is Pure Country a sweet, wholesome reminder of sticking to your roots, or is it just a two-hour George Strait music video? Grab your Wranglers, crack open a cold one, and find out. Plot Summary:In Pure Country, country music superstar Dusty Chandler grows disillusioned with the flashy trappings of fame and vanishes from the spotlight. Returning to his Texas roots under the radar, he rediscovers the simple joys of performing and falls for a local woman who doesn't recognize him.

In today's episode, Tom and Producer Drew dive into the passionate—and sometimes heated—comments from their recent deep dive on taxes and economic inequality. Using your thought-provoking feedback as a springboard, Tom tackles the emotional debate around whether the rich are paying their fair share, why taxes hit the poor and middle class hardest, and what's really behind the growing economic divide. From the complexities of inflation, debt, and money printing to the provocative notion that “eating the rich” can backfire historically, this episode doesn't shy away from hard truths. Tom breaks down how government spending, loopholes, and the influence of lobbyists contribute to our economic woes—and why simply taxing the wealthy isn't the silver bullet many hope it might be. If you've ever wondered how economic policy truly impacts everyday lives, or what steps we could take to restore prosperity for the middle class, you won't want to miss this candid, sometimes contentious, and always insightful Q&A. Get ready to challenge your assumptions and gain a deeper understanding of the real issues driving our economic challenges.
