Trace Mayer, Bitcoin OG and advocate for monetary sovereignty, joins us for a compelling deep dive into the real-world implications of El Salvador's groundbreaking adoption of Bitcoin. This wasn't a surface-level chat, we covered everything from Bitcoin in El Salvador to the broader global reset many are calling the Fourth Turning.We explored how President Bukele is reshaping El Salvador by combining bold leadership with sound money principles and how Bitcoin fits into that transformation. Trace shares why financial freedom is rooted in individuals taking control of their money, and how El Salvador is providing a real-world test case for that philosophy.We also talk about the risk of centralized financial tools like ETFs, the importance of self-custody through initiatives like Proof of Keys, and how Bitcoin's growing financial infrastructure, especially in derivatives and custody, is shaping the future.Don't forget to subscribe, share this with your favorite fiat-loving friend, and comment below: Would you trust your government to hold Bitcoin for you, or is it safer in your own hands?Learn more about Trace Mayerhttps://www.trace.com/ https://x.com/bitcoinkn Connect with Trace Mayerhttps://x.com/TraceMayer https://www.instagram.com/trace_mayer/ Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 – Why Trace Mayer Traveled to Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador02:30 – How Trace Mayer Got Into Bitcoin and Monetary Sovereignty06:15 – How Inflation Destroys Sound Money and Everyday Wealth10:40 – What Monetary Sovereignty Really Means in Today's World14:50 – Why El Salvador Adopted Bitcoin for Financial Freedom19:30 – How President Bukele Is Using Bitcoin to Change El Salvador25:40 – Why Proof of Keys Still Matters for Bitcoin Users in 202530:10 – Are Bitcoin ETFs Threatening Real Financial Freedom?37:20 – What the Fourth Turning Means for Bitcoin and the Global Economy45:10 – Can the US Reset Its Economy with Bitcoin, Gold, and the Dollar?47:15 – What Trace Mayer Is Building in the Bitcoin Financial System52:00 – Where to Follow Trace Mayer and Learn About His Latest WorkLive From Bitcoin Beach
What does it mean to come of age during chaos—and how does that shape the generations who must lead us through it? In this thought-provoking episode of Rabbit Hole, Dave Nadig speaks with Neil Howe—author of The Fourth Turning Is Here—about the evolving role of Gen X in today's world, the generational dynamics underpinning societal shifts, and what history teaches us about crisis, community, and rebirth. This is not just a theory session—it's a practical guide to understanding where we are in the cycle and what might come next.Topics Covered:Why generational transitions are slowing—and why that mattersThe Gen X identity crisis: from latchkey kids to future eldersHow community rises from conflict during fourth turningsMillennials' collective investing mindset vs. Gen X contrarianismThe historical role of financial repression and inflation in crisesParallels between Gen X and the Lost GenerationHow institutions are built—and who builds themWill the next societal reboot be state-driven or community-driven?Global synchronization of generational crises and what that impliesWhat comes after the fourth turning—and how Gen X fits into it

In the second episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I talk with the man whose work inspired us to set off on this journey together – the co-author of seminal book The Fourth Turning and author of The Fourth Turning is Here, Neil Howe. What follows is a timely and thought-provoking conversation on generational theory and the turbulent state of not just the United States, but the entire world today. From rising partisanship and institutional decay to shifting cultural norms around religion, gender, and substance use, Neil unpacks the patterns he sees repeating—and what they might mean for the road ahead. We explore the defining characteristics of a Fourth Turning, why America and the rest of the world may already be deep into one, and what the implications could be both at home and on the world stage—including the possibility of a major confrontation with China. This is a deep dive into the forces reshaping our society with one of their keenest observers—and a disturbing look at what history tells us might come next.

Episode 415 is the third episode in the Hundred Year Pivot podcast series. In it, Demetri Kofinas and Grant Williams speak with some of the smartest and most plugged-in people they know to help them navigate the once-in-a-century economic, political, and geopolitical reordering that is currently underway. In this episode Kofinas and Williams speak with economic historian, author of “The Solid Ground Newsletter” and Keeper of the Library of Mistakes, Russell Napier about the end of the economic, monetary, and global trading & security order that has been the largest single driver of global growth over the last thirty years. The consequences of the changes discussed for economic and national security, social cohesion, investment, and wealth preservation are nothing short of tectonic. Points of discussion include: The Trump administration's economic and trade strategy Efforts to isolate China The creation of new monetary systems The search for new safe assets The realignment of global power The escalating risk of war with China There is also a long and detailed discussion about how investors can position themselves for: The accelerating repatriation of capital flows The onset of capital controls A prolonged period of financial repression in which wealth preservation will take precedence over making money and chasing outsized financial returns.

In this episode, Neil Howe explains why we've officially entered the Fourth Turning—an era of crisis that happens every 80-100 years. He breaks down how the rise of autocratic leaders, collapsing trust in institutions, and growing global conflict all signal a dangerous historical repeat. As the memory of WWII fades, the storm is accelerating, and Howe warns: the real conflict hasn't even begun yet.#FourthTurning #CrisisEra #globalconflict ------------

History tells us that civilizations and societies boom, bust and rise anew to repeat the pattern -- a pattern that demographer Neil Howe says is surprisingly predictable in both its timing and trajectory.Howe refers to these "seasons" of societal change as "turnings", and has famously has declared America is now well into a Fourth Turning, the "bust" part of its cycle -- where the status quo falls apart -- often chaotically -- and is replaced by a brand new order.Well, in its first 100 days, the Trump administration has certainly made big -- and some would day disruptive or even chaotic -- strides in its attempt to replace the previous status quo with a new playbook, both domestically and internationally.Is this the kind of textbook Fourth Turning upheaval that Howe expected?To find out, as well as what further transformation he expects ahead, we'll ask the man himself.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Tim Pool welcomed The Winston Marshall Show to his West Virginia compound for a high-stakes conversation on civil strife, censorship, and the looming risk of American collapse.Tim makes the case that the U.S. is already in a Civil strife—escalating from administrative sabotage to sporadic political violence, and warns that the tipping point is near. From Trump's lawyer arrests to Tesla firebombings, from judges blocking executive power to the targeting of Elon Musk—nothing, he argues, is off the table anymore.The two dive into the Fourth Turning, the MAGA revolution, and whether Trump could (or should) run for a third term.All this—populist revolt, Big Tech warfare, Soros-backed chaos, and the war no one wants to name…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Intro2:39 Trump's Popular Vote Victory and Civil War Argument 6:32 Examples of Political Violence and Escalation 10:41 Administrative Conflict and Historical Analogies 35:30 Trump's Legal Challenges and Political Opposition 38:30 Global Populist Movement and Political Polarization 41:46 Cultural Celebration of Terrorism and Media Influence Hosted on Acast.

Philippe is an erudite bookophile and a banker, a combination that seems not uncommon among the best investors. He and I have been speaking since last year in anticipation of recording this podcast today. I hope you enjoy it.

The Will To Change: Uncovering True Stories of Diversity & Inclusion
In this episode of "The Will to Change," Jennifer talks with futurist Heather McGowan about navigating societal shifts and our future. Heather draws parallels between now and the 1920s, discussing how pandemics reorder society, and explores how human history cycles between individual and collective mindsets. She advises embracing change, emphasizing rebuilding "bridging capital" by connecting with people different from ourselves. The conversation covers AI as a tool for advancement, leadership evolution, and finding stability amid disruption by focusing on our sphere of influence rather than global anxieties.
I have a soft spot for the Dirtbag Left now that I never used to have. Listening to them viciously destroy the Democratic Party scratches that itch. They were ahead of the curve, and the Democrats would have been better off not snuffing out the movement way back when.But snuff it out, we did. Back in 2016, I was in a Facebook group devoted to doing nothing but hating on the “Bernie bros.” I spent too much of my precious time trying to stop them as a movement because they threatened Hillary Clinton's win. Like every Democrat now, I was afraid of democracy.The Democrats find themselves in that place where the three characters from Jaws end up. They've tried harpoons and three barrels on him, and nothing has worked. They finally decide to try Hooper's shark cage, even though Brody knows there's no chance it will work. “You got any better suggestions?” barks Hooper.That Quint entertains the idea of bringing in Hooper's cage at all was the miracle. And the desperation.The Democrats are ready for the anti-shark cage, and so Bernie Sanders and AOC are on a western tour to “stop the oligarchy.” They finally have the exact right enemy in Elon Musk and Bernie's “billionaires.” Musk represents the death of their dream, that no one can get there on their wits, hard work, and ambition alone. No, this is a country where no one can rise unless everyone can rise.Trump's tariffs are a potential solution to America's crippling problem of income inequality that has destroyed the middle class. That's the MAGA populism at work. Bernie's populism fixes the problem with much bigger government. The rich pay more to redistribute the wealth.Is this finally the moment when we can Make America Socialist Again? A major step forward from FDR's New Deal and Johnson's Great Society? Do the Democratic Socialists have a real shot at winning the nomination away from the feckless, flaccid centrists?Is this finally the moment when the Dirtbag Left and the identity politics utopians merge to create one big movement, a Green New Deal? Will Trump's radical change finally be the thing that pushes the majority in a direction they never would have gone?Recent polls show that younger generations are much more accepting and fond of socialism than older generations. It's not that hard to do the math and see what might be coming next.How it StartedAccording to Neil Howe and William Strauss's 1997 book, 2008 was the crisis that sparked our Fourth Turning. This pattern plays out every 80 years, with each generation being born and living a lifetime before everything radically changes to restart America in a new direction, like the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II.We still don't know how big or how bad our Fourth Turning will be. To Strauss and Howe, the $700 billion bank bailout was the moment the public woke up to the imminent disaster of income inequality and a bloated oligarchy. The bailout birthed two populist movements: Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party.Occupy Wall Street became the Bernie movement which, after Hillary's loss in 2016, was dissolved into the Democrat machine. The Tea Party became Trump and MAGA. The question we have to ask is which side will prevail when the Fourth Turning comes to a close, when the policies are cemented and the country is united?According to Howe's new book, The Fourth Turning is Here, he edges ever so slightly to the Left's side of things because the dominant generation, the Millennials, are a “go along to get along” personality type.At the moment, at least to me, the MAGA side offers more for ambitious millennials, especially young men. MAGA is now the side of innovation and economic growth. If they succeed, there will be no need for a rescue mission.But if they fail? Ben Shapiro has been dropping the prediction for a few weeks now that if Trump's economy begins to fail, the power that will rise is the equal and opposite reaction to Trump's populism: a lurch to the hard left.Bernie and AOC are ready to bring the movement back.Is this finally the moment where both Bernie and AOC have the right kind of anger and the right enemy they need to tap into the collective outrage of all of those crazy people out there losing their minds?

Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research, returns to The Julia La Roche Show for episode 242 to discuss the markets and the economy. He explains why America's K-shaped economy - where the top 10% drives 50% of retail sales - has made the status quo unsustainable. He argues Trump's policies reflect the reality that our $36 trillion debt has become a national security issue requiring allies to pay for their defense rather than relying solely on U.S. taxpayers. Bianco maintains his "no landing" economic outlook, viewing tariffs as negotiation leverage rather than permanent policy. For investors, he predicts bonds will deliver 5% returns with lower volatility compared to stocks' 6-7% annually, making fixed income an attractive alternative after years of TINA (There Is No Alternative).This episode is sponsored by Monetary Metals.

When describing how Turnings come about, the Midlife cohort can seem less important than the young adults' exuberant energy or the Elders' wisdom and values. The Nomads (like GenX) are identified as rather uninteresting managers of the Crisis/4th Turning, not much else to do in their role. Perhaps, though, the people in midlife are the key to it all, the real impetus, the ones who push the Crisis towards its peak. ================================ The tweet that - mostly - got this episode starting up again in my head https://twitter.com/larisa_a/status/1095350964226281473 A few notes here on how age, fertility, and other ways we suspect that midlife is a specific biological event. https://www.webmd.com/depression/features/midlife-crisis-opportunity#2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage-crisis_view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erikson%27s_stages_of_psychosocial_development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_and_female_fertility https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/01/why-do-killer-whales-go-through-menopause/512783/ Hadn't found this source when doing that earlier episode on The Third Wave http://www.thewavehome.com/1991_The-Wave_article.htm As mentioned, there was an earlier episode on Authoritarianism and Awakenings (Episode 16) that talks about The Third Wave and who was involved. There's another one on anger, it's effect on people and its impact on the Fourth Turning - episode 20 Why Are You So Angry? A couple of articles about how people have this drop in happiness around 44 or so. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happiness-and-the-pursuit-leadership/201804/miserable-and-middle-aged-is-something-wrong-you https://www.marketwatch.com/story/miserable-in-your-40s-dont-panic-its-perfectly-normal-2018-07-10 A study of 500 chimpanzees and orangutans rated for happiness by their zoo keepers indicated a primate mid-life crisis at around the age of 30 – a finding that led to speculation that some (as yet unidentified) age-related biological influence is at work. (…in the book Protector, there is speculation that other primates were separate offshoots of breeders, de-volving because of something unexpected like increased radiation.) https://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2015/jun/24/life-happiness-curve-u-shaped-ageing A description of Protector on Larry Niven's website. http://news.larryniven.net/biblio/display.asp?key=81&order=4&direction=1 But you can search around and you'll find more about it - like here https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Protector Marie Kondo was at the Oscars https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/1099797651946491904 https://twitter.com/MarieKondo “Tidying is contagious” https://twitter.com/MarieKondo/status/1087735339551244290
Episode 4334: Weakness In Europe; The Fourth Stage Of The Fourth Turning Stage Is Chaos
In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan and Brent Kedzierski discuss the concept of human-centric work design, exploring its implications for workplace efficiency and employee engagement. Brent shares insights from his extensive experience in organizational psychology, emphasizing the importance of understanding worker dynamics, the role of technology, and the need for structured work environments to enhance productivity. The conversation dives into metrics of work intensity and density, the significance of achieving a flow state, and common inefficiencies that hinder productivity in modern workplaces. Brent advocates for a shift towards more intentional work structures, such as time blocking, to foster deeper focus and collaboration among employees. In this conversation, Brent and Avetis explore the intersection of technology, automation, and human adaptation in the workplace. They discuss the fears surrounding automation, the implications of the Fourth Turning theory on the future of work, and the importance of human-centric design in technology. The dialogue also touches on the evolving job market, the necessity for companies to adapt, and the significance of employee satisfaction and engagement in a rapidly changing environment.TakeawaysUnderstanding worker dynamics can lead to improved performance and satisfaction.Technology should enhance human capacity, not replace it.Flow state is essential for maximizing productivity and creativity.Interruptions significantly reduce work efficiency and focus.Time blocking can help create structured work environments.Cognitive flexibility is becoming a crucial skill in the modern workplace.Many employees feel they lack clear performance expectations and feedback.Reducing unnecessary meetings can lead to more productive work hours.People fear technology will replace them.The Fourth Turning theory explains cycles in society.Technology is hitting a peak with AI advancements.Companies need to rethink their reliance on technology.The job market is shifting towards service-related roles.Happy employees lead to better productivity.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Human-Centric Work Design05:37 Intensity and Density in Work Metrics16:20 The Flow State and Productivity22:13 Inefficiencies in the Workplace28:04 Structuring Work for Efficiency33:36 The Technology Trap and Human Adaptation44:11 The Future of Work and Human-Centric Design51:07 The Shift in Job Markets and Human Skills57:22 The Human Condition and Workplace SatisfactionBrent Kedzierski's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brentkedzierski/Brent Kedzierski's Website: https://www.humanwrks.com/

In Episode 401 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas shares his recent appearance on the Grant Williams podcast in which he and Grant discuss how the interplay of political power, technology, and moral decline in society are driving the unraveling of the social order as we pass through the final stages of what Neil Howe has famously described as “The Fourth Turning.” Demetri and Grant explore how cyclical historical theories apply to today's turbulent geopolitics, emphasizing the rise of populism, shifting alliances, and eroding trust in institutions. Kofinas highlights the role of media in shaping collective narratives and exacerbating societal fault lines, while Williams calls attention to the erosion of personal accountability—an absence that fuels trends in financial nihilism and accelerates the broader moral decline of American life. This decay, they argue, extends to the country's political structures and the integrity of its financial markets. The conversation also touches on the fragility of complex systems, from social structures to global financial frameworks, underscoring the need for intellectual rigor and ethical leadership. Throughout, they urge listeners to stay critical yet open-minded, balancing caution with the desire to seize opportunities that emerge from the transformative changes currently underway.

In his last interview with us, guest John Warner talks about the The Fourth Turning is Here, by Neil Howe and how it applies to South Carolina.
Host of the Arterburn Radio Transmission & owner of Wise Wolf Gold & Silver, Tony Arterburn, makes another appearance to discuss how sound money, cycles, and human psychology play an oversized role in the emergence of great civilizations, while simultaneously assuring their own destruction through the transition to fiat currencies, down cycles, and ignorance of the normalcy bias. Are we on the cusp of a Fourth Turning where the cultural norms of society are flipped on their heads so that a new ideology can take root, or have we already entered the new paradigm of Woke ideas and nonsensical priorities? Either way, brace yourself for a bumpy ride as we transition into the New Normal.

[Introduction: I made this as a special gift for Christmas or the holidays because I wanted to do something more than just a regular podcast to say thank you for your support, your friendship, your letters (yes I read them) and just for being great people. I hope that you will get something out of it. I tried to keep it short but it's too long. Either way, it's a learning curve! The transcript with most of the video references is below). Every so often, I say out loud, “Trump won.” I repeat it in my head a few times because even now, I barely believe it. Eight long years of conflict, madness, division, corruption - there have been convictions, jail time, even suicides among Jan 6ers whose lives were destroyed because they were faithful enough to Trump to have his back when the chips were down.What our government, our media, and the ruling class wanted was to terrorize Trump supporters out of their loyalty to him. “It's a cult,” they continue to insist. But even after all of that, Trump won. He won the Electoral College and the popular vote. There has never been a story like this one in all of American history, and even the Good People of the Left know that. But there have been stories like this in all the most beloved films and books. This story is one we all know. It's called The Hero's Journey, and any honest person knows that we just watched Trump live out his. By the end of it, he has people like me wandering around saying “Trump won.” His victory meant more than just winning an election. It meant the return of reality and normalcy somehow, I know it sounds crazy to say that but it's true. Trump refused to stand down, no matter what they threw at him. He refused to cower in the face of an assassin's bullet. He soldiered on, as the best heroes do, passing every test, humiliating his rivals, and even those who hated Trump can't help but be impressed. One only needs to look at the two covers of TIME Magazine, which feature Trump as Man of the Year, to see how it started and how it's going.Trump didn't write this story; his enemies did, and in so doing, they sealed their fate to become but a footnote in the unforgettable story of the greatest political comeback in American history. Says Victor Davis Hanson:So, how did we get here? What is the Hero's Journey, and how does Trump's story fit so well? Trump's Hero's JourneyWe could leave it at that, but I'd like to go through the stages one by one. Part One - The Ordinary WorldTo massive ratings success, millions of Americans welcomed Trump into their ordinary world every week. He was already a star. People tuned in to hear him say “You're fired.” But they also tuned in to hear him say what was true but couldn't be said out loud. They knew him, and they loved him. Reality TV was about to become actual reality. In 2016, America could be divided into two groups: those who watched The Apprentice and those who did not. If you knew Trump from that ordinary world, nothing he said would shock you. But if you were like me, already insulated in a protective cocoon of extreme political correctness, a utopia where offensive language is not to be tolerated, and a class of people who would not be caught dead watching The Apprentice, his words would be paralyzing, enough to cause fits of mass hysteria that would last for years. Trump has been a fixture in American culture since the 1980s. He mocked himself and was always in on the joke. Just one year before the Left decided he was Hitler, he hosted Saturday Night Live. Despite Trump's wealth and the Left's attempts to portray him as an out-of-touch billionaire, he speaks the language of ordinary working-class Americans somehow. Trump is the guy who eats at McDonald's. He's the guy who talks to the golfer and the caddy. But to make him into Hitler, it took a village of liars who had no intention of handing over power to Trump or any of the Americans who voted for him. But Trump's ordinary world was not politics. He was an outsider, the perfect hero to be plucked from one world and thrust into the special world, one he did not fully understand. Part Two - The Call to Adventure (refusing the call)The Hero is always reluctant to answer the call. Trump was asked again and again if he'd consider getting into politics. The answer was always no.Running for president seemed to be the last thing Trump had left to do and he knew that. He was right, in those early days, to say that America wasn't ready for people who tell it like it is. Part Three - Accepting the CallTrump, like so many others born outside of Manhattan, maintained a chip on his shoulder that drove him to not just become one of the Manhattan elites but to earn their respect. So it stung when Obama called him out and humiliated him in a room full of people who thought they were superior to Trump in every way. Obama was hitting back after the “birther conspiracy” most on the Left deemed “racist.” But really, he was playing his most powerful card — that he was accepted by the ruling class, and Trump was not.This set up the epic battle between the two men for the next decade, one Trump would ultimately win. Obama wasn't just accepted by the ruling class. He was their symbol of virtue. As wealth concentrated on the Left, what they, we, needed was absolution from our sins of privilege. Obama provided that. He was the closest thing we had to religion.By contrast, Trump represented our collective sins. If we could blot out the Sun, we could somehow deny those bad qualities in ourselves. That guy over there is the bad guy. We're not like that.But by 2015, Trump was finally ready. The Hero is always unprepared for what this step actually means. They might start the journey almost as a lark. But once they accept that fateful call, there can be no turning back. Trump famously vanquished his primary opponents, picking them off one by one as a country already addicted to reality shows watched this one. That's what it looked like, anyway. Every great reality show needs a great villain. And there was no more entertaining villain than Donald Trump.Who would dare talk to Jeb Bush like that?And who would dare talk to Hillary Clinton like that? Part Four - The Mentor and the TalismanTrump had several key mentors, including Roy Cohn and his father. But the one who matters most in Trump's Hero's Journey is Steve Bannon, who was busy building a populist movement that needed a tough leader like Trump. Here, Bannon talks about their first meeting.Bannon took the long view then and now. He'd read The Fourth Turning by Neil Howe and William Strauss. Ten years after the book was written, he lived through the 2008 financial crisis. Bannon made the movie Generation Zero about what was coming next. He has always had an eye on how America must land after the Fourth Turning - in the direction of populism, not globalism.On October 7, 2016, the infamous Access Hollywood tape dropped as an October surprise. As Bannon tells it, the wolves were at the door. Trump had a decision to make: a mea culpa with David Muir and ABC News or fight, fight, fight. Bannon is the Yoda to Trump's Luke Skywalker because he helped sculpt and guide the hero toward his ultimate goal. Though Trump pushed him out in his first term, Bannon remained loyal to Trump and even spent four months in Danbury prison. For Bannon, it's never been about Trump specifically but about guiding the ship in the right direction. He needed Trump then, and he needs him now.Part Five - Crossing the ThresholdFor Trump, the 2016 election was the threshold between the ordinary world and the special world, a win that shocked even him. Winning was supposed to mean that the American people accepted him as their president. He didn't understand why they were protesting in the streets, as they were saying he was “illegitimate” and #notmypresident. He won, after all, so why weren't they treating him that way?In 2016, those of us on the Left decided that this country, its culture, its government, and its institutions all belonged to us. If we proclaimed Trump a racist, Nazi, fascist and thus, rendered him ineligible to serve, we had every right to treat him and his supporters as unwanted invaders in our country.Part Six: Tests, Allies and EnemiesBeing a Trump ally is not for the faint of heart. He is no walk in the park, especially not then. He'll insult even those closest to him and spend much of his time in office antagonizing the press and the swamp creatures. But Trump's role was not to be liked by any of them. It was to represent the people who voted for him, as is. Nonetheless, the establishment government ate Trump alive in his first term because he wasn't a lawyer or a politician. He had to hit the ground running, and was met with oppositional forces who sought to sabotage, discredit, and ultimately push him out of power. It was a slow-moving coup, and Trump was no match for the empire. Nancy Pelosi ripped up the State of the Union. The Democrats took the House and impeached him two years into his first term, just as Steve Bannon had predicted. Trump's agenda to drain the swamp and close the border had to be pushed aside as he fought for his own reputation and his presidency.Part Seven - The ApproachFor Trump, The Approach was the 2020 election. Trump could see what the powerful forces that opposed him were doing to rig the election. Even I could see it as a Biden voter. It was not hard. Nothing made sense. What we would all find out much later is we didn't imagine it. They bragged about it in TIME Magazine. 2020 was one of the hardest years for Trump. He was in over his head and no one in DC or the media wanted to help him deal with the pandemic. They wanted — needed — him to fail, just as they needed the protests over the Summer to be bad enough to threaten Trump and his family.Trump caught COVID, survived it, and then went out and did five rallies per day in hopes of making up lost ground. He knew the pandemic crashed the economy, his strongest selling point for a second term. But his campaign was starting to move the needle. Why? Because the Left had lost its mind. The problem was they weren't playing by the rules of the game. They made up their own rules, and Trump was no match for him. All he had was his First Amendment right to have his and his supporters voices heard, which they did on January 6th as part of a mobilization effort by MAGA to protest the election. They called it “Stop the Steal.”But the riot at the Capitol was Check Mate. It was over. His court cases, his attempts to convince Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to debate the rule changes in court, his MAGA movement — all collapsed in an instant. How convenient that was for the empire.Had they left Trump alone and allowed him to enjoy the rest of his life in Mar-a-Lago, maybe things would have ended there. Maybe they would have actually won the war. But they weren't quite done with Trump, and he most certainly wasn't done with them. Part Eight - The Supreme OrdealBiden's incompetence became clear to Americans when the botched exit from Afghanistan woke everyone up to who was now the leader of the free world - someone who, despite a lifetime in government, did not listen to his military brass. 13 American soldiers dead, military equipment left behind, a humanitarian crisis left in its wake, it was a disaster.Biden's approval numbers crashed and they never recovered. To cover up for their failures, they leaned into corruption. They raided Mar-a-Lago. They indicted Trump four times. They convicted him on a bogus felony charge. And all the while, the idiots on MSNBC and the high-status voices were cheering them on. All they wanted — needed — to see was Trump, in an orange jumpsuit, frog-marched off to prison. All that did was ignite the Hero's Journey, making Trump the hero and, thus, instantly more popular. Everyone was rooting for him from the sidelines. He was a folk hero, a working-class hero, a hero of those mistreated by law enforcement. Only the ruling class couldn't see it - they had lost their connection to the reality of everyday American life and, thus, the ordinary world. And then came the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13th. Just days later, a wounded Trump walked onto the stage at the GOP convention and faced a large crowd for the first time.Trump had the wind at his back with his triumphant return to Butler, PA. Even though Americans had almost seen Trump's head blown off on live television, but for a miraculous turn of his head at just the right time, Trump brought the tragedy full circle by doing what he has always done. He turned it into a way to entertain the crowd. Trump picked up where he left off. “As I was saying…”Part Nine - The Reward What had been among the darkest days in American history, not just Trump's four years in office, the two impeachments, COVID and the lockdowns, the Summer of 2020, January 6th, and the weaponization of the DOJ and the criminal justice system became a celebration of hope and renewal. People who were consumed by hatred of Trump because they trusted the media now humanized him and were realizing for the first time how much they'd been lied to. It was something you could feel: minds and hearts changing gears, people waking up and seeing Trump differently. They were openly endorsing him, supporting him, and ultimately voting for him.He was hitting nothing but green lights, even if the villains of this story were still paralyzed by their fear and hatred of him. America was moving on. Part Ten - The Road BackThey can keep destroying themselves, trying to destroy him, but Trump's triumphant return was evident when he was invited to be the first president since Ronald Reagan to ring the bell at the NYSE. The city that made him now had no choice but to tip its hat.Part Eleven - Growth and AtonementWhat is so ultimately moving about this story isn't so much Trump himself but those standing behind him, sticking by him, his ride-or-die MAGA family. Trump has changed. He knows he defeated the most powerful and perhaps corrupt administration in American history, and there has to be eternal satisfaction in that. He rescued his legacy, his family's name, the Trump brand, and all of us Americans who were living under the dark cloud of madness and hysteria for much too long. But Trump's true redemption has to be how he showed his gratitude to those thrown away like human garbage by the ruling class but gave Trump the kind of love and support to carry him through the darkest days. Part Twelve - The ReturnTrump was never Citizen Kane. He was never the guy who wanted to be loved. He was raised to be a fighter and a winner. Maybe that wasn't what the country needed 20 years ago, but it is what the country needs right now, especially the young. He came along just in time to pull them out of their cocoons of fragility.Not just them, all of us. And that is why we need heroes and are so drawn in by the Hero's Journey. We need to see David go up against Goliath and win. We need to see the powerful forces of evil vanquished. We need to believe in them so we can believe in ourselves. And so now, those of us cast out of utopia can't stop saying those two words to remind us of what we just lived through: Trump won.

Strauss & Howe's "The Fourth Turning prophecy" (published in 1997) envisions a period of profound transformation for America, marked by a climactic crisis that reshapes society. Imagine a national—and likely global—eruption of events, spilling into channels of distress carved out during the preceding era of unraveling. These channels, widened by a triggering catalyst, guide the initial flow of upheaval, but predicting the exact trajectory is as uncertain as pinpointing the fault line of an earthquake. The molten core of this climax could bring economic chaos with financial collapse and rampant poverty, social unrest fueled by divisions and armed factions, political turmoil with institutional breakdown and authoritarian shifts, and military conflicts involving catastrophic weapons. This prophecy challenges us to consider not just the inevitability of change but also the forces shaping the future of civilization. Jim Quinn, presents four possible outcomes, each shaped by a crisis of immense magnitude. It could signify the end of humanity, an apocalyptic event triggered by a catastrophic blend of social collapse, malevolence, advanced technology, and sheer bad luck. Alternatively, it might mark the end of modernity, with Western civilization's centuries-long rhythm abruptly halting, potentially due to global conflict and societal collapse. A third scenario could see the dissolution of America itself, as the nation faces an existential crisis akin to those during the Revolution, Civil War, or World War II. Yet, there is a hopeful possibility: the Fourth Turning could simply close the current era, leading to a rebirth of America and a new societal cycle, transformed but enduring. Website Link:
