State attorneys general have been in the news a lot lately. But many people don't fully understand what the job of state attorney general entails, and voters too often skip these races on their ballot because they don't know anything about the office or the candidates. With 30 states and the District of Columbia holding elections for their attorneys general this November, understanding the role of your state attorney general is important to being an informed voter. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin joins Broken Law to talk about what the job of a state AG is and what's at stake in these elections. Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.orgHost: Valerie Nannery, Senior Director of Policy and ProgramGuest: Matthew Platkin | Partner, Platkin LLP; former New Jersey Attorney GeneralLink: ACS Event: Protecting Voters & Our Votes: State Attorneys General on Democracy's Frontlines Link: State Attorneys General Project Link: Voter Protection Volunteer Opportunities  Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law PodcastEmail the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.orgFollow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | LinkedIn | YouTube-----------------Broken Law: About the law, who it serves, and who it doesn't.-----------------Production House: Flint Stone MediaCopyright of American Constitution Society 2026.

Welcome American-Irish politician and author Katherine Zappone to the show. After moving to Ireland, Katherine served as Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and founded the community education organization An Cosán. An acclaimed author of three books, she remains a powerhouse for social change and civic justice. Yet this hardly captures her dedication to social change and advocacy for bettering the lives of Irish citizens.Katherine Zappone was the first recognized lesbian married woman elected to the Oireachtas (equivalent to the USA House of Reps) marking decades of impactful service in Irish politics. A tireless advocate, she famously proposed to her late wife live on TV following the Marriage Equality referendum. Despite her unsuccessful fight for the legal recognition of her Canadian marriage in Ireland, she pushed a productive conversation for gay rights in Ireland. She has a great sense of humor, an even better laugh and an incredibly refreshing view of politics, grief, marriage and love. We have included all links to follow her work, social media and publications below. Check out all her books: Love in a Time of Politics: A Memoir of Facing Loss and Finding Hope, Our Lives Out Loud: In Pursuit of Justice and Equality, The Hope for Wholeness: A Spirituality for Feminists, Reclaiming the Secret of Love.BOOKS: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Katherine-Zappone/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3AKatherine%2BZapponeIG: https://www.instagram.com/kzappone1/?hl=enLI: https://ie.linkedin.com/in/katherine-zappone-3a2291173

I have done several interviews on both the economy and democracy. One of my central motives for doing these interviews is a longing manifested in a quest to find alternatives that reshape and improve upon the way our economy is currently run and our democracy is currently practiced. The root of this longing and quest is in my understanding of my Christian faith. Shaped by the hope theology of Jurgen Moltmann and the multiple liberation theologies of gender, identity, race, and politics, in my own way, I am seeking, and hope to persuade you by this podcast to join me in this quest, to help create the world Jesus envisioned—one where all are loved and cared for. Achieving this quest and goal will require significant changes in how we do the economy and our democracy. Vital in all of this is to find real ways to move from thought to practice or praxis, as the liberation theologians advocate. The Steady State economists have offered doable and practical policy options, but the next step is finding candidates willing to run for office on those policies. Jeffrey Stout, building on the long and solid work of community organizing has provided especially helpful guidance in practicing grass roots democracy. Joerg Rieger, in the work of The Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice, offers a myriad of opportunities in which Christians and churches can participate in the alternatives of a solidarity economy and an intersectional democracy. Putting all of this together into a useful framework would be a major find and substantive step forward. Although it is not her intent, because her intended audience is primarily secular, nevertheless, I think I have found in Danielle Allen's Justice by Means of Democracy something very close to what I am looking for. What she has done in this work is to provide a thorough-going model, and, as important, the means of making it practical and useful. Again, although her intended audience is secular, in my mind, it is especially compatible with the kind of Christian alternatives offered by such folks as Joerg Rieger, Jurgen Moltmann, and the liberation theologians. Danielle Allen is James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University. She is also Director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at the Harvard Kennedy School and Director of the Democratic Knowledge Project-Learn, a research lab focused on civic education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Outside the university, she is a co-chair of the Our Common Purpose commission on democracy reform at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and as board chair at Partners In Democracy, she advocates for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy, and to drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all. In addition to Justice by Means of Democracy, some of Professor Allen's books include: Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality; Cuz: An American Tragedy; and Talking to Strangers: Anxieties of Citizenship since Brown v. Board of Education. The intro and outro music for this episode is from a clip of a song called ‘Father Let Your Kingdom Come’ which is found on The Porter’s Gate Worship Project Work Songs album and is used by permission by The Porter’s Gate Worship Project.

Joining us now on Joy 94.9's Saturday Magazine is Anna Brown, CEO of Equality Australia. Every four and a half years, Australia's human rights record is put under the microscope by the international community at the United Nations in Geneva. Following our latest Universal Periodic Review, member states issued over 300 recommendations to strengthen human rights in Australia—including nine specifically designed to protect LGBTIQ+ people. However, the Federal Government has formally responded by rejecting every single one of those nine LGBTIQ+ recommendations. LGBTIQ+ Australians were the only marginalised group where not a single recommendation was accepted. Anna, welcome back to Saturday Magazine.” On 25 June 2026, Equality Australia issued a statement criticizing the Federal Government’s response to Australia's fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council. The government rejected all nine recommendations specific to LGBTIQ+ rights—making LGBTIQ+ Australians the only marginalized group to have 100% of its dedicated recommendations declined. Total Recommendations Received: 332 recommendations from over 120 member states. LGBTIQ+ Specific Recommendations: 9 total. Acceptance Rate for LGBTIQ+ Recommendations: 0% (0 accepted out of 9). Comparative Status: Recommendations were accepted or noted across all other categories, including First Nations Australians, women, children, people with disabilities, older people, and refugees. Policy Area Key Recommending Nations Core Policy Issue Current Domestic Status Religious Exemptions in Education Belgium, Iceland, Mexico Remove exemptions under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 allowing religious schools to discriminate against staff and students. Pending ALRC report implementation; Federal Labor has delayed promised protections. Intersex Bodily Autonomy UN Peer Nations Enact nationwide bans on non-consensual, medically unnecessary cosmetic surgeries on intersex children. ACT is the only Australian jurisdiction with legal protections; federal framework absent. Conversion Practices UN Peer Nations Establish a federally coordinated ban on gay/trans conversion practices. Patchwork protection across VIC, ACT, SA, and NSW; no overarching federal protection. Anti-Stigma & Anti-Violence UN Peer Nations Fund public education campaigns and national strategies to combat anti-LGBTIQ+ hate crimes and violence. Lack of dedicated federal funding for national education or targeted anti-vilification laws.

It doesn't come as a surprise that lawyers are using AI tech in legal practice, but British legal authorities and firms have gotten a bit wild: buying pallets of NVIDA GPUs to build their own data centres, submitting briefs with AI hallucinations of fake laws all the way to the point that judges have to admonish them, and running an all-AI legal service called Garfield Law.  We brought on British law understander Sapheen Meran to explain this to us, and the fact that all lawyers apparently still love the show “Suits.” Sapheen is the other half of Second Homes along with Nate, and you can check out our debut album “Find a Way to Hate It” here!

Next week's International Day of Older Persons is an opportunity for us to take stock of what's on offer in Gibraltar and what can be improved. Marlene Dalli of the Ministry of Equality will be here to look ahead to an event being hosted next Thursday.We'll have the latest on last night's fire at One Bayside Road - no injuries were reported in the blaze which started around 8pm and was put out by the Fire and Rescue Service a little after 10'oclock. Kevin Ruiz was at the scene last night.Over 500 volunteers collected tonnes of rubbish from Gibraltar's streets and shores in this year's Clean Up the World. Janet Howitt of the ESG was here with Head of Bayside, Gaynor Lester, and Head of Bishop Fitzgerald, Liane Parral. Members of the Youth service who also took part in the weekend's clean up will be here, looking back at the clean up and ahead to an upcoming trip to Spain. Hosted on Acast.

A system that rewards everyone the same, regardless of behavior, is not consistent with the teachings of Scripture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses biblical perspectives on four topics relating to our resources: wealth, pride, generosity, and work. Money isn't morally good or bad, so we need the guidance of God's Word to develop a healthy understanding of how to manage the possessions we've been temporarily entrusted with. Envy is at the root of many socialist ideas in our culture today, but God cares far more about the formation of our characters than making us happy—and following His will, not our own emotions, is the best way to find blessings in our lives.

In this episode, Pukar Hamal—Founder & CEO of SecurityPal AI and Nepalese startup hub Silicon Peaks—explores the emotional impact gap between AI-generated writing and human creativity, and examines how intelligence augmentation, not full automation, should guide AI's future. Drawing on his cybersecurity expertise, Pukar discusses emerging concepts like zero data retention and the agentic security paradigm, highlighting why automation with verification, layered human validation, and compute equality are vital. Listeners will gain valuable insights into expanding human agency, overcoming the barrier to launching, and supporting focus and perseverance in an AI-driven world.

Rebecca Oliver-Mooney joins James Smith for a conversation that starts with a left-handed can and ends up somewhere far more uncomfortable. Founder of the Raising The Glass network and a drinks industry buyer who has sat on the other side of the table from hundreds of challenger brands, Rebecca explains why most founders put half their message where the shelf will hide it, why GLP-1s are about to reshape what food and drink gets made, and why menopause is the category nobody has been willing to build for yet.

Elites, especially in tech, over at least the last decade have espoused repugnant ideas arguing that extreme social inequality is not only inevitable, but desirable. Acclaimed historian Kim Phillips-Fein argues that there is a long US tradition promoting wealth inequality that has once again moved from the shadows into the mainstream.

What can we really know about the world around us and our place within it? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, Adam Rutherford is joined by three guests who explore the values that shape our lives and the things that still matter even when they cannot easily be counted, explained or priced.The theoretical physicist and internationally acclaimed writer Carlo Rovelli discusses his new book On the Equality of All Things: Physics and Philosophy (translated by Simon Carnell). Drawing on modern physics and philosophical inquiry, he explores the relationships between minds and matter, ideas and objects, and asks us to reconsider how we understand the world and our place within it.The poet and writer Lavinia Greenlaw has drawn on science in her work. She talks about On Difficulty (and Poetry), her exploration of why difficult experiences, ideas and works of art can be so rewarding. She argues that resistance and complexity are not obstacles to understanding but can open up new ways of seeing and thinking.And the award-winning playwright James Graham discusses The Standard of Living, his new play about the economist John Maynard Keynes. Set amid economic crisis and social change, it asks what makes a good life and whether art, love and human connection might matter more than wealth and power.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Pat is joined by Carlo Rovelli, Physicist, to discuss his new book, On the Equality of All Things, which explores quantum mechanics and how it applies to our understanding on what is means to exist, a modern physics theory.

Hiii mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence! This week, Sakshi and Naina get into the question that starts stalking every woman at some point in her twenties: motherhood.Do we actually want kids? Would we make good moms? What if your baby is radioactive? How do you pick the right person to have a child with? And how much of yourself are you willing to give up to become a mother?

Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Americans face rising living costs while political leaders offer flashy checks instead of lasting solutions. Inflation, national debt, and unchecked spending demand honesty and restraint. Financial stability depends on responsible leadership, disciplined saving, and careful financial planning that make everyday life more affordable for families...

Jacinda Ardern is a history-maker.As Prime Minister of New Zealand at 37, she became only the second woman in the world to give birth while in office. But it was her leadership style that defined her time at the top, leading with empathy and kindness in the face of back-to-back tragedies, and showing the strength of coming together.From growing up in small-town New Zealand singing country and western duets with her sister at the local community hall, to raging to Smashing Pumpkins in her first car with a discman plugged into the cassette deck, Ardern's musical taste has always been eclectic and deeply personal. She's the teenager who loved alternative music and heavy metal while being a dedicated student rep raised in the Mormon faith, and the world leader who chose a drum and bass track as her walk-on song.Her career path was never straightforward. She ran from the possibility of becoming a politician, buying a one-way ticket to New York to escape the suggestion she should run for office. But a sense of responsibility (what she calls her "oversized sense of duty"), kept pulling her back. In 2017, everything changed in a single year: a by-election, deputy leadership, then the top job itself, all while secretly pregnant. She led her country through the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari White Island eruption, and a global pandemic, all while insisting that being human is not a weakness.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's studios on Sydney Harbour. Jacinda caught the ferry to the location, rolling up without any entourage, proving just how down-to-earth she is.

 John Lowe of the University of Louisville joins us to talk about his new book, “Benevolence & Bondage”: Jonathan Edwards, Slavery, Race, and the Paradox of Spiritual Equality. Jonathan Edwards is remembered as one of colonial America's most influential theologians—a preacher who taught that all souls stood equally before God. Yet Edwards was also an enslaver who lived and preached within a society shaped by racial bondage. Lowe examines the profound tension between Edwards's theology of Christian benevolence and spiritual equality and his participation in slavery, and Edwards' long influence on American religious thought. Tell us what you think!

A Note from James:Carlo Rovelli is one of the smartest people I know. He is a theoretical physicist and the author of a lot of great books, including Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, The Order of Time, Helgoland, White Holes, and now On the Equality of All Things: Lessons on Physics and Philosophy.He has been on the show before, and at the end of this conversation I told him I felt like he was just tolerating my questions. He was nice about it.But the first question I asked was: Do I actually exist?Because in Carlo's new book, nothing really exists on its own. Not a person, not a particle, not you, not me. Everything exists in relation to something else.So I spent an hour trying to understand what that means.Does absolute truth exist? Is free will fake? Are we just machines? Is consciousness quantum? Is everything doomed to decay? Is time real? Was there a before the Big Bang? And what does any of this actually do for us in ordinary life?Carlo's answer, again and again, is not that nothing is real. It is that we make a mistake when we try to imagine the world from the outside, as if we were standing somewhere beyond the universe looking in. We are not outside the universe. We are inside it. We are part of it. We know the world through relationships, perspectives, interactions, and limits.And oddly, that is calming.Because Carlo says the thing that brought him serenity was not finally knowing everything. It was giving up the need to know everything with absolute certainty.That is where this conversation goes: physics, quantum mechanics, philosophy, Buddhism, Taoism, Wittgenstein, consciousness, black holes, time, the Big Bang, free will, and the strange comfort of not needing the final answer.Episode Description:Carlo Rovelli returns to the show for a conversation about reality, uncertainty, quantum mechanics, time, consciousness, free will, and his new book On the Equality of All Things: Lessons on Physics and Philosophy.James begins with the central idea of the book: everything in the universe can only be understood in relation to something else. Carlo agrees that this is a good short version of the argument, but immediately pushes back against the need for “absolute” truth. Of course James exists. Of course Carlo exists. The question is why we need to add something heavier and more final than that.From there, the conversation becomes an exploration of relational reality. Carlo explains that motion is not an illusion just because it depends on perspective. When James says he is sitting still, that is true with respect to Earth. When someone says Earth is moving, that is true with respect to the sun or the galaxy. The mistake is asking which motion is the “real” one outside all relations.The same frame applies to quantum mechanics. Carlo argues that particles are not little objects with fixed properties sitting there independently of the rest of the world. A particle is what it manifests in interaction. It is a set of relations. This is why quantum mechanics has forced such a profound change in the way physicists think about reality.James keeps pressing the practical question: What do we gain from knowing this?Carlo's answer is partly scientific and partly philosophical. We gain better questions. We stop asking impossible questions like “Who is really not moving?” or “What is the final foundation of everything?” We become more aware of our own perspective. And we may become more capable of understanding people whose moral, political, or philosophical perspectives differ from ours.The conversation moves through the Big Bang and the possibility of a Big Bounce, with Carlo stressing that science is powerful precisely because it knows its own ignorance. Science is not the final story. It is an ongoing process of learning, correcting, testing, and replacing older models with better ones.James and Carlo then talk about time. Carlo explains that Earth is so small, compared with the universe, that we experience conversation as almost instantaneous. That gives us the illusion that time is the same for everyone. But physics has shown that time is not universal. Every star and galaxy has its own time, and the idea of “now” across the whole universe does not really work.The second half of the conversation turns toward philosophy and human life. Carlo connects his thinking to Eastern philosophy, Zhuangzi, Buddhism, Taoism, and Wittgenstein. For him, accepting the partial, perspectival, incomplete nature of knowledge is not depressing. It is serene.James also asks about consciousness, free will, and whether quantum mechanics can explain the mind. Carlo respects Roger Penrose but says he does not think consciousness is specifically quantum. The brain is physical. Choices are physical. But that does not make choice unreal. The mistake, Carlo says, is imagining a separate ghost or soul outside the physical brain that is supposed to make the decision.The episode closes with James trying to find one absolute: everything decays. Carlo says no. The universe also creates order. Galaxies form. Stars light up. Life emerges. Water and oil separate into structure. Civilization produces books. Nature is not simple decay. It is more complicated, more beautiful, and still not fully understood.What You'll Learn:Why Carlo Rovelli thinks there is no useful “view from outside” the universe.Why existence does not need to be “absolute” to be real.How motion only makes sense relative to something else.Why relative does not mean arbitrary.How quantum mechanics challenges the idea that the world is made of independent objects.Why Carlo sees particles as manifestations of interactions.Why science is powerful partly because it knows what it does not know.What the Big Bounce idea suggests about the Big Bang.Why time is not the same everywhere in the universe.Why there may be no single universal “now.”Why physics does not explain everything, even if nothing escapes physics.How Eastern philosophy, Taoism, Buddhism, and Wittgenstein shaped Carlo's thinking.Why giving up certainty can create serenity.Why Carlo does not think consciousness is specifically quantum.How Carlo thinks about free will without invoking a separate soul or ghost.Why quantum mechanics should not be turned into vague New Age thinking.Why nature is not only decay, but also structure, order, evolution, and growth.Timestamped Chapters:[05:04] Does Anything Exist Absolutely?James asks whether he, Carlo, or the chair exists, and Carlo explains why ordinary existence is enough without adding the word “absolute.”[06:47] We Exist Through RelationsCarlo explains that identity, friendship, love, social position, and knowledge all happen through relationships.[08:41] Motion Is Relative, Not FakeJames uses the example of sitting still while Earth moves, and Carlo explains why “really moving” is the wrong question.[09:31] Morality Without AbsolutesCarlo argues that morality can be meaningful and powerful without being independent of human beings.[10:44] Relative Does Not Mean ArbitraryCarlo clarifies that relational truth is not the same as saying anything goes.[12:05] Quantum Mechanics and the Relational WorldCarlo explains how quantum mechanics led him toward the idea that things do not have fixed properties independent of interaction.[14:35] What Happens When We Are Not Looking?James asks why quantum mechanics feels strange, and Carlo explains that the confusion begins when we try to describe what happens without interaction.[16:29] Everything Is a ProcessCarlo connects quantum reality to everyday reality: apples rot, stones become sand, and nothing is perfectly fixed forever.[17:21] Before the Big Bang?James asks what the first particle could have interacted with, and Carlo explains why the Big Bang may not have been an absolute beginning.[20:22] The Big BounceCarlo discusses the possibility that the universe went through a phase of maximum compression before expanding.[21:40] Science Knows Its IgnoranceCarlo explains why science is not about having final answers, but about knowing what we know and what we still do not know.[22:58] Science Is Not the Final StoryJames asks about string theory and scientific certainty, and Carlo says science is an ongoing process of learning more.[24:29] Physics Does Not Explain EverythingCarlo explains why fundamental physics underlies everything but does not replace chemistry, biology, mechanics, or other forms of knowledge.[25:13] Time Is Not the Same for EveryoneJames asks about time, distance, and the Big Bang, and Carlo explains why the idea of one universal “now” is an illusion.[27:44] How Do We Know Anything?Carlo defends the power of science, pointing to Maxwell, Einstein, black holes, gravitational waves, and GPS.[30:11] Will Science Ever Be Complete?James asks whether even an advanced alien civilization would still face unknowns, and Carlo says he doubts science will ever reach a final story.[31:20] Gödel, Ignorance, and No Theory of EverythingCarlo treats Gödel's theorem as an analogy for the impossibility of closing knowledge, while stressing how far we still are from complete understanding.[32:49] Zhuangzi, Taoism, and SerenityJames connects Carlo's thinking to Eastern philosophy, and Carlo explains why giving up the need for certainty made his life more serene.[37:00] Consciousness and Quantum MechanicsJames asks about Roger Penrose and consciousness; Carlo says he does not think the brain is specifically quantum in the relevant sense.[38:08] Consciousness as PerspectiveCarlo explains consciousness as part of a relational world: a piece of nature with information about the rest of nature.[41:06] Avoiding New Age Quantum ThinkingJames asks about law-of-attraction-style interpretations, and Carlo distinguishes serious quantum theory from vague extrapolation.[42:53] Objects Are Not as Solid as They SeemCarlo says quantum mechanics challenges the idea that the world is made of fixed, independent objects with properties of their own.[44:22] Arguing With the MetaphysiciansCarlo describes the Princeton philosophy conversations that helped become the basis of the book.[46:29] Copernicus, Darwin, and Quantum RealityCarlo compares quantum mechanics to earlier scientific revolutions that forced humans to rethink their place in the world.[48:18] What Will Future Science Change?James asks what discoveries might blow our minds 100 or 200 years from now, and Carlo points to quantum gravity, black holes, and the mind.[51:10] Free Will Without the GhostJames asks about determinism and choice; Carlo says freedom is not an illusion, but the idea of a separate nonphysical chooser is.[54:11] Does Everything Decay?James tries to find one absolute truth, and Carlo says nature also produces structure, complexity, life, and order.Additional Resources:On the Equality of All Things — Simon & SchusterCarlo Rovelli — Simon & Schuster Author PageCarlo Rovelli — Penguin Random House Author PageScience Friday: “Why physics and philosophy need each other”Helgoland — Penguin Random HouseWhite Holes — Penguin Random HouseSeven Brief Lessons on Physics — Penguin Random HouseThe Order of Time — Penguin Random HouseReality Is Not What It Seems — Penguin Random HouseAnaximander — Penguin Random HouseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this week's "Capitol Chats", Debra Cronmiller, executive director of the League of Women Voters Wisconsin, discusses three constitutional amendments on the November ballot. The League is urging voters to vote 'no' on an amendment that would outlaw "preferential treatment" based on race within governmental entities. The two other amendments limit the governor's partial veto power and disallow the government to prohibit worship gatherings during public health emergencies.  

CAPTION 1807 EMPRESS JOSEPHINE.French Fashion Styled By WomenAnne Higonnet, author of Liberty, Equality, Fashion: The Women Who Styled the French Revolution, explores how three prominent women, known as the Graces, revolutionized French fashion during the Directory and Empire periods. Following the trauma of the Reign of Terror, classic silk dresses and whalebone corsets were replaced by simple, flowing white cotton muslin gowns. This dramatic shift liberated women's bodies and sparked new accessories like handbags, cashmere shawls, flat laced shoes, and tiaras. These styles were soon documented and widely consumed by the enthusiastic British public. (1)

The Declaration of Independence is the United States' most radical idea, and its most enduring paradox.  Byron Williams, renowned public intellectual, theologian, columnist, explores this paradox in his new book, Liberty and Equality in America:  Examining the Radical and Paradoxical Legacy of the Declaration of Independence.  Williams asks: What does it mean for a nation officially committed to liberty and equality, while unofficially hamstrung by paradox to achieve its central tenets? Refusing simplistic celebration or cynical dismissal, Williams explores America's founding through the enduring tension between its highest ideals and its deepest contradictions.Tell us what you think!

Gillian George shares a message about the Testimony of Equality for our series on the Quaker SPICES. Gillian shared that the equality testimony is rooted in the understanding that every human being has equal access to the guidance of the inward light, the present teacher, the divine, the Holy Spirit, or one of the many ways our limited minds attempt to define the originator of the motions of Love. “Our work is to pull down societal mountains, fill in societal valleys, level the societal playing field, and work to even out hierarchy's rough places so that every barrier blocking access to the divine voice of love is removed.”

In this special archival episode of The Dr. Pat Show, we go back to 2004 for a powerful conversation between Dr. Pat Basile and legendary writer, activist, and women's rights leader Gloria Steinem. Originally recorded for Crust Busting Your Way to an Awesome Life, this conversation explores what it means to break through the beliefs, conditioning, and limitations that keep us stuck—and to use our own power to create meaningful change. Gloria shares the story behind one of the phrases that profoundly influenced Dr. Pat: “Do something outrageous every day.” For Gloria, being outrageous wasn't about being reckless. It was about taking action in the cause of simple justice and refusing to accept the limitations placed upon us. Together, Dr. Pat and Gloria explore the progress of the women's movement, the importance of women standing on the shoulders of those who came before them, and the responsibility we each have to create stronger shoulders for those who come next. Gloria also speaks about the power of voting, women's economic independence, reproductive freedom, language, self-respect, raising children without violence, and—perhaps most importantly—the necessity of imagining change before we can move toward it. This is a conversation about equality, courage, possibility, and the everyday choices that can help create a more just world. In this episode, you'll hear Gloria Steinem discuss: Why women were taught to believe their limitations were “natural” and how listening to one another helped change that belief The meaning behind “Do something outrageous every day” Why we must treat ourselves as well as we treat others How young girls are watching—and learning—from the choices women make The importance of honoring the work done inside the home Why the women's movement is far from over The power of women to create change through business, political participation, and collective action Why voting is an essential expression of personal power The importance of imagining the world we want before we can create it Raising a generation of children who understand that all human qualities belong to all people The connection between nurturing, gender expectations, and violence Why we need to both “keep people from drowning” and look at the long-term reasons people are falling in The importance of having a vision of hope that keeps us moving forward At the heart of this extraordinary conversation is a simple challenge: What outrageous thing will you do today in the cause of justice, equality, or positive change? And perhaps, as Gloria reminds us, the question isn't whether we're willing to change the world. It's whether we're willing to take the next small, courageous action that makes change possible.

In this episode, you'll hear Gloria Steinem discuss: Why women were taught to believe their limitations were “natural” and how listening to one another helped change that belief The meaning behind “Do something outrageous every day” Why we must treat ourselves as well as we treat others How young girls are watching—and learning—from the choices women make The importance of honoring the work done inside the home Why the women's movement is far from over The power of women to create change through business, political participation, and collective action Why voting is an essential expression of personal power The importance of imagining the world we want before we can create it Raising a generation of children who understand that all human qualities belong to all people The connection between nurturing, gender expectations, and violence Why we need to both “keep people from drowning” and look at the long-term reasons people are falling in The importance of having a vision of hope that keeps us moving forward At the heart of this extraordinary conversation is a simple challenge: What outrageous thing will you do today in the cause of justice, equality, or positive change? And perhaps, as Gloria reminds us, the question isn't whether we're willing to change the world. It's whether we're willing to take the next small, courageous action that makes change possible.

Who are the “real” Americans…what does it even mean to be an American? Today we discuss 3 notions of what it means to be an “American”. The legal, historical, and cultural traditions that define a country and people MATTER. But to what degree does each matter, and are there exceptions to certain rules?

The Department of Justice is in crisis. The bedrock principle of non-interference, once held sacrosanct by administrations of both parties, has been jettisoned. The Attorney General has directed the Department to represent the President and his agenda above all else. Thousands of attorneys and professionals have left or been forced out as leadership pursues personal and political grudges at the President's open direction. What reforms can be instituted to restore the department's independence? What can be done by Congress or outside organizations to bring oversight to the abuses taking place within the department? What can future administrations do to restore the Department's professionalism and reputation?Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.orgHost: Diane Furstenau, Director of Policy and Program, ACSGuest: Rachel Rossi, President, Alliance for Justice (and Panel Moderator)Guest: Rupa Bhattacharyya, Legal Director, Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, Georgetown LawGuest: Stuart Delery, Partner, Gibson DunnGuest: Stacey Young, Founder & Executive Director, Justice ConnectionLink: Blanche won't pledge DOJ independence from Trump, by Andrew PantaziLink: How the Trump administration erased centuries of Justice Department experience, by Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin RicherLink: How Trump is weaponizing the DoJ to ‘bully, prosecute, punish and silence' his foes, by Peter StoneVisit the Podcast Website: Broken Law PodcastEmail the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.orgFollow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | LinkedIn | YouTube-----------------Broken Law: About the law, who it serves, and who it doesn't.-----------------Production House: Flint Stone MediaCopyright of American Constitution Society 2026.

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 433 The Saint of the day is Blessed John Francis Burté and Companions Blessed John Francis Burté's and Companions' Stories These priests were victims of the French Revolution. Though their martyrdom spans a period of several years, they stand together in the Church's memory because they all gave their lives for the same principle. In 1791, the Civil Constitution of the Clergy required all priests to take an oath which amounted to a denial of the faith. Each of these men refused and was executed. John Francis Burté became a Franciscan at 16 and after ordination taught theology to the young friars. Later he was guardian of the large Conventual friary in Paris until he was arrested and held in the convent of the Carmelites. Appolinaris of Posat was born in 1739 in Switzerland. He joined the Capuchins and acquired a reputation as an excellent preacher, confessor, and instructor of clerics. Preparing for his assignment to the East as a missionary, he was in Paris studying Oriental languages when the French Revolution began. Refusing the oath, he was swiftly arrested and detained in the Carmelite convent. Severin Girault, a member of the Third Order Regular, was a chaplain for a group of sisters in Paris. Imprisoned with the others, he was the first to die in the slaughter at the convent. These three plus 182 others—including several bishops and many religious and diocesan priests—were massacred at the Carmelite house in Paris on September 2, 1792. They were beatified in 1926. Born in 1737, John Baptist Triquerie became a Conventual Franciscan. He was the chaplain and confessor of Poor Clare monasteries in three cities before he was arrested for refusing to take the oath. He and 13 diocesan priests were martyred in Laval on January 21, 1794. He was beatified in 1955. Reflection “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” was the motto of the French Revolution. If individuals have “inalienable rights,” as the Declaration of Independence states, these must come not from the agreement of society—which can be very fragile—but directly from God. Do we believe that? Do we act on it?Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this episode, we're pleased to welcome back historian Kim Phillips-Fein, one of the truly outstanding observers of the right, past and present, working today, for a conversation about her new book, Country of Lords: Neo-Aristocrats, Social Darwinists, Tech Utopians, and the Long Fight Against Equality in America. It makes for a companion episode of sorts to our recent discussions on Lincoln and the Declaration of Independence, but this time about those who rejected equality: proponents of slavery, biological racists (in various forms), captains of industry, and more, from the American founding through today's tech billionaires like Peter Thiel.  Listen: Bob Dylan, "My Back Pages" Listen Again: "The History of the History of the Right (w/ Kim Phillips-Fein)," Know Your Enemy, Jan 18, 2024 Sources: Kim Phillips-Fein, Country of Lords: Neo-Aristocrats, Social Darwinists, Tech Utopians, and the Long Fight against Equality in America (2026) — Fear City: New York's Fiscal Crisis and the Rise of Austerity Politics (2017) — Invisible Hands: The Businessmen's Crusade Against the New Deal (2009) Steven Hahn, Illiberal America: A History (2024) Richard Hofstadter, The American Political Tradition: And the Men Who Made It (1948) Louis Hartz, The Liberal Tradition in America: An Interpretation of American Political Thought Since the Revolution (1955) ...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!
