In this episode Houston legend Mike D — the man many call the original King of Lean — unpacks the true story behind codeine culture in the American South. Before “lean” was a mainstream rap flex… before double cups and purple memes… there was a street-level hustle that changed Houston forever. Mike D breaks down how promethazine with codeine went from a quiet substitute for heroin to a full-blown cultural phenomenon — influencing DJ Screw, the Screwed Up Click, and icons like Pimp C, Bun B, and Lil Wayne. What started as something passed around on the corner turned into an underground empire moving thousands of dollars a day — long before law enforcement even understood what was happening. In this interview, we cover: * How Mike D became Houston's go-to supplier * The birth of “drank” culture inside DJ Screw's house * The economics of the codeine black market * Street wars between Houston neighborhoods * Texas prison brutality and plantation-style incarceration * The real story behind Pimp C's death * Addiction, droughts, and what happens when supply dries up * How music and drugs fed off each other to build a movement This isn't just a drug story. It's a story about culture, capitalism, addiction, loyalty, betrayal — and how one underground market reshaped Southern hip-hop forever. From Astroworld fights to state prison bids… from Mercedes at 16 to moving cases of syrup… Mike D tells it all. Go Support Mike!

Dimes and Judas discuss the latest trans school shooter in British Columbia, the Bad Bunny Superbowl performance, and Trump's Venezuela immediately shipping oil to Israel. After exploring the new British Columbia separation movement, they side into a review of “Bandit Country: The IRA & South Armagh” by Toby Harnden. This is a history of the least controllable area during the War of Irish Independence against England, its ruler Tom “Slab” Murphy, and the internal schisms that lead to the downfall of the IRA.

In this devotional, Pastor Jason Van Bemmel explores Acts 12, a chapter of dramatic contrasts where the early church faces both heavy persecution and miraculous intervention. The message clarifies the historical identity of Herod Antipas, a powerful ruler and grandson of Herod the Great, who sought to gain political favor by killing the apostle James and imprisoning Peter. The devotional highlights several key themes: Miraculous Deliverance: Despite being guarded by four squads of soldiers and bound by chains, Peter is led out of prison by an angel—an event so unexpected that the praying church initially refuses to believe it. Divine Sovereignty: Pastor Jason addresses the difficult question of why James was martyred while Peter was spared, concluding that while human rulers think they are in control, our lives are ultimately in God's hands. The Danger of Pride: The chapter concludes with the sudden death of Herod, who is struck down for accepting glory that belonged only to God. The Unstoppable Word: Even amidst political turmoil and the death of leaders, the devotional emphasizes that "the word of God increased and multiplied". Listeners are encouraged to remain bold in their witness, trusting that no earthly power can thwart God's ultimate purpose for His people.

He shares his research on the Frankfurt School, a group that started in Germany in the 1920s, and its influence on education in the US.

He also discusses the importance of parental engagement and the need for parents to take control of their children's education.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this profound and timely interview, Emilio Ortiz sits down once again with Regina Meredith to explore what many are sensing but struggling to articulate: the activation of two distinct soul paths unfolding simultaneously on Earth. As systems destabilize and the world feels increasingly polarized, Regina offers a grounded yet expansive perspective on why some people are experiencing chaos, fear, and fragmentation — while others feel an unexpected calm, clarity, and inner coherence. This episode dives deep into consciousness evolution, timeline divergence, spiritual awakening, and what it truly means to remain centered as humanity navigates a critical crossroads.✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d...Together, Emilio and Regina unpack the idea of a “soul split” — not as a judgment, but as a natural consequence of choice, frequency, and inner alignment. They explore how this moment is less about external events and more about who we are becoming, how we relate to fear and truth, and which inner path we are walking. This conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and recognize where you stand in this unfolding shift — and how to move forward with greater awareness, sovereignty, and compassion in an era of accelerated transformation.Regina Meredith is a veteran journalist, speaker, and the longtime host of Open Minds on Gaia, where she has interviewed thousands of leading thinkers, mystics, scientists, and consciousness pioneers from around the world.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – Regina Meredith Intro3:20 - The Feeling of Incoming Chaos6:02 - The True Origin of Humanity: Two Souls Merged Into One Being9:14 - Why This Generation Was Born Into a Different Consciousness Field11:05 - Are Dimensions Bleeding Together? 14:37 - The Shift From 3D to 4D16:59 - Black Holes as Creation Portals 19:48 - Timelines, Train Tracks & How Doubt Collapses Your Creations21:35 - The Heart as the New Intelligence of the Future Human25:39 - The Collapse of Old Systems28:35 - The Future of Money, Global Systems & Collective Currency30:48 - Illness as a Spiritual Wake-Up Call31:55 - Transparency, Telepathy & the End of Hiding Who We Are34:46 - Regina's Injury, Stillness & Mystical Discoveries in Forced Rest36:48 - Victimhood vs Soul Choice39:05 - “Human Generated”: 42:14 - Can AI Access the Field?52:54 - The Two Earths: Higher Consciousness Timeline58:27 - How to Match the Frequency of the New Earth 1:01:08 - Compassion as the True Hero's Journey1:03:15 - Stillness, Egypt & The Breakthrough of the “Black Hole Creation Model”1:06:01 - The Downfall of Worship 1:09:40 - The Hardest Truth Regina Ever Had to Accept1:12:14 - The Sacred Responsibility of an Awakened Human Today1:14:44 - The Zoomer & The Boomer Bridge___________________Guest: Regina Meredith, Investigative Journalist & Pioneer in Conscious Media✦ Website | https://reginameredith.com/✦ YouTube Channel | ‪@ReginaMeredith‬ ✦ Watch "Open Minds" on Gaia | https://gaia.com/emilio✦ Instagram |   / reginameredith_official  Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  Special Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're bringing you Aza Raskin's conversation with Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger on their podcast “Possible”. Reid and Aria are both tech entrepreneurs: Reid is the founder of LinkedIn, was one of the major early investors in OpenAI, and is known for his work creating the playbook for blitzscaling. Aria is the former CEO of DoSomething.org. This may seem like a surprising conversation to have on YUA. After all, we've been critical of the kind of “move fast” mentality that Reid has championed in the past. But Reid and Aria are deeply philosophical about the direction of tech and are both dedicated to bringing about a more humane world that goes well. So we thought that this was a critical conversation to bring to you, to give you a perspective from the business side of the tech landscape. In this episode, Reid, Aria, and Aza debate the merits of an AI pause, discuss how software optimization controls our lives, and why everyone is concerned with aligned artificial intelligence — when what we really need is aligned collective intelligence.  This is the kind of conversation that needs to happen more in tech. Reed has built very powerful systems and understands their power. Now he's focusing on the much harder problem of learning how to steer these technologies towards better outcomes.RECOMMENDED MEDIAAza's first appearance on “Possible”The website for Earth Species Project“Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil PostmanThe Moloch's Bargain paper from StanfordRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Man Who Predicted the Downfall of ThinkingAmerica and China Are Racing to Different AI FuturesTalking With Animals...

The first year of Donald J. Trump's second term as the president of the United States has been not only tumultuous for America but also the rest of the world. Just as at home, he has disregarded existing international institutions and standing alliances to chart a very different foreign policy course. Trump has threatened long-standing European with steep tariffs and military action—and traditional adversaries such as Russia with relative warmth and friendliness. Are there any broader theories guiding Trump's actions? What are the aims of his MAGA advisors? And what does the Trump presidency portend for America's standing as the champion of the liberal international order? If that order permanently collapses, what will replace it and how would that affect American interests?The UnPopulist's editor-in-chief, Shikha Dalmia, discusses with Pulitzer Prize winning author Anne Applebaum, a historian. Anne, who writes for The Atlantic, has penned the most incisive —and prescient—analysis about the emerging alliance of global authoritarians, Russian disinformation campaign, the Ukrainian war and more.We hope you enjoy.***Thanks for checking out The UnPopulist!

This week on Movie Mistrial, we descend into the final, chaotic days of the Third Reich as we examine Oliver Hirschbiegel's gripping historical drama, Downfall.Downfall delivers an unflinching and deeply human portrayal of a collapsing regime, anchored by Bruno Ganz's extraordinary performance as Adolf Hitler. The film's commitment to historical detail, claustrophobic atmosphere, and raw emotional intensity make it a powerful and haunting exploration of fanaticism, fear, and moral decay.While highly acclaimed, some viewers find Downfall difficult to watch—not only because of its heavy subject matter but also due to concerns that the film's intimate portrayal risks humanizing monstrous figures.

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was a 17th-century Mexican nun, poet, playwright, composer, and all-around intellectual menace to the patriarchy. In this episode of Queens Podcast, we trace Sor Juana's rise from hacienda library goblin to celebrated court intellectual and how she used wit, logic, and theology to argue that women deserved education because women are people. Radical stuff. Paired with a twist on the Paloma cocktail, we explore her poems like You Foolish Men and essays such as Respuesta a Sor Filotea, works that helped shape modern feminist thought centuries before feminism had a name. Sor Juana did not just challenge misogyny. She out-argued it, and history is still taking notes.

As Donald Trump floats the idea of seizing Greenland and dismisses long-standing alliances, Congress remains largely silent. The Republican Party—once defined by constitutional restraint—now hesitates to confront a president testing the boundaries of executive power. This video explores how unchecked rhetoric, authoritarian instincts, and congressional inaction are colliding at a critical moment for American democracy.

**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation** Whether it's some within the Minneapolis Somali community racking in millions of dollars from government grants for fraudulent businesses or severely unqualified illegal aliens obtaining commercial truck driving licenses, these groups were “categorized by officials as on the victimized, oppressed side of the lecture. And therefore, they were not completely audited. Because, if they had been audited, the cries of racism, nativism, etc., prejudice, bias would've been voiced. And people didn't want to be exposed to that,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” These non-meritocratic DEI recipients are thrown into a self-perpetuating system that encourages them to continuously engage in illegal activity as they will never face consequences for their actions. When audits stop, deterrence dies—and corruption thrives.

Rachel Maddow shares a look at how outrage over government corruption in Bulgaria prompted massive protests and eventually the resignation of the prime minister and his government. And in the United States, for all of Donald Trump's unpopular policies being protested across the country, the self-dealing and corruption that has become his administration's hallmark may ultimately be what leads to Trump's downfall. Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who first exposed the scandal of how the Jeffrey Epstein case was handed, talks with Rachel Maddow about feedback she is receiving from survivors of Epstein's abuse about finding their own names in released documents despite heavy redactions that appear to make a greater priority of protecting the identities and information of people involved with Epstein than to protect his victims as the law instructs.Rep. Jamie Raskin joins to discuss how an ownership change and recent editorial decisions by CBS News is raising concerns that Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him are making progress on building state media.
