Podcasts about Gadsden

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the black smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel and the significance of the papal conclave in Rome. He reflects on the power and beauty of the Sistine Chapel, expressing sympathy for tourists now unable to visit due to the conclave. Brett shifts focus to domestic issues, criticizing the Biden administration for expanding federal surveillance to include "concerning behavior" rather than criminal acts. He alleges that symbols like the Betsy Ross flag, Gadsden flag, and even Catholic imagery have been flagged by federal agencies as potential signs of extremism. Highlighting past government actions against the Tea Party, We're joined by The Coach Matt Doherty to talk about leadership and whether America can truly be made great again. Drawing from his coaching experience, Coach Doherty uses sports analogies to frame political division as dysfunction within a team—arguing that when parts of a team pull in different directions, it’s hard to reach full potential. He suggests the left’s relentless opposition to Donald Trump has created a hostile environment, preventing national unity. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the unfolding situation involving former Charlotte City Councilman Tariq Bokhari and CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings, as well as the political dynamics surrounding Senator Thom Tillis. They delve into the $300,000 settlement connected to internal CMPD disputes, questioning the timing and implications, especially with Bokhari recently leaving office. The discussion shifts to how this precedent might affect future city matters. They also explore Senator Tillis’s upcoming reelection prospects, noting the tension within his own party and the possibility of a heated primary. Bo highlights Tillis’s past willingness to cross the aisle and the potential impact of Trump-era politics on his future. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Thursday on Good Morning BT! Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show! For more from Brett Winterble check out his YouTube channel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This explosive episode dives into the newly declassified domestic terrorism plan exposed by Tulsi Gabbard—one that shatters the Biden administration's narrative. John Lott breaks down how the federal government secretly targeted ordinary Americans based on political beliefs, religious views, and even historic symbols like the Gadsden flag and "2A" imagery. From the debanking of conservative lawyers to FBI informants inside Catholic churches, Tara reveals how the administration used censorship and surveillance not against criminals—but against citizens with dissenting views. A chilling deep dive into the weaponization of government and the illusion of free speech in modern America.

In this episode, Bishop Gadsden residents and former team members Susan Legare and Carole Moore talk about their time working at Bishop Gadsden as well as what it's like to now be residents as they reflect on the history of BG.

Author Drew Hall is a man on a mission! While his mission fields are many—devoted husband, doting father, and a longtime youth pastor, teacher, and coach—his goal remains singular: "Show them Jesus." Whether at home, at work, or in ministry, he builds relationships through common ground, presence, transparency, and time in God's Word.In this episode, Drew shares how his wife's cancer scare became a defining moment in their journey of trusting God's sovereignty. Through fear and uncertainty, they leaned on faith, learning to surrender while holding fast to hope. And as a father, he emphasizes the importance of making his voice and God's Word the strongest influences in his daughters' lives, above all else.Beyond his family, Drew is passionate about discipleship, believing that true success isn't in the sermons he preaches but in the lasting truths he imparts about God. He strives to live a life that aligns with what he teaches on Sundays, knowing that authenticity is key to earning trust. As he puts it, “If you don't show that you care about the little things, people won't trust you with the big things.” Tune in for a conversation that will encourage you to model your faith in the everyday moments and in all of the mission fields to which God calls you.About DrewI was born in Gadsden, Alabama, to Alan and Karen Hall. My parents were blue-collar workers who worked hard to give my sister (Heather) and me the best chance to have a successful life. I was lucky to have all of my grandparents present in my life while I was growing up, and they helped shape me into the man I am today. I am thankful that my family is still active in my life. I understand that is a blessing and I treat it as such. I grew up always playing sports. Baseball and basketball were the two that I continued through high school. Sports never came easy to me, and to be honest I was average at best. I did however fall in love with the aspect of competition. There was not much better than being on a team and competing with your buddies. The most influential thing in my childhood was entering into a relationship with Jesus and trusting him as my Lord and Savior. That decision was a guiding force to the majority of the decisions I have made in my life. The ones where it was not the guiding factor, led to issues and problems. One of the greatest things it lead me to was accepting God's call on my heart to preach the gospel. I started preaching at 16 and it is still a guiding passion of my life.My love of sports and God intersected after high school. While my playing time was over, God opened the door for me to be a part of a team again. I was given a scholarship to be the manager for the baseball team at Jacksonville State. While there I ended up helping the baseball, women's basketball, and softball teams. I wanted to be a coach and use that platform to share the gospel. I got that opportunity when I was blessed to be a graduate assistant coach at Samford University.

HOUR ONE: 
We travel to the Antarctic – onto it, over it, and under it… and find some strange, and often terrifying things during the trip. (Antarctic Apparitions And Eerie Enigmas)===HOUR TWO: We are all familiar with humans' desire to fly. There are many legends about flying horses in various parts of the world, and they all have common characteristics that make them difficult to dismiss as only aviation dreams of the ancient people. Do some myths and legends reveal ancient people had sufficient technical knowledge to produce sophisticated flying machines? (Ancient Mechanical Flying Horses) *** A man in China claims to have been abducted by aliens not just once… not just twice… but three times. But will you believe his story after hearing the details? (Flying on an Alien's Back) *** There's an odd grave marker at Riverside Cemetery in Wahpeton, North Dakota – and an odd story that goes along with it. I'll tell you about the strange obelisk draped in rope and chains. (The Wahpeton Circus Grave) *** Those who walk along the wooded Hinds Road in Gadsden, Alabama should be wary, for there is a legend that residing there is a witch who sold her soul to the devil. (The Gadsden Witch of Alabama) *** You may think that a ghost referred to as ‘Humpty Doo' might be fun-loving and perhaps even a little goofy. However, Humpty Doo is an Australian slang term that means everything is being turned upside down...and, fittingly, it is also the name of the town where some bizarre poltergeist events took place.

Towana Looney became the first living person in the world to get a kidney from a new kind of genetically modified pig last month. Health correspondent Rob Stein got exclusive access to be in the operating room.Towana is a 53-year-old grandmother from Gadsden, Ala. She's been on dialysis for four hours a day, three days a week since 2016. Her immune system would reject a human kidney. So the Food and Drug Administration made an exception to its usual clinical study requirements to allow Looney this new kind of pig kidney. But the procedure is controversial.

This election has featured a lot of talk about ‘immigration' and ‘the border' but has been short on specifics. In this episode, you'll get those specifics. Specifically, you'll learn what was in H.R. 2, a Republican bill passed by the House, and you'll learn what was in the so-called bipartisan border bill which was killed by Donald Trump's loyalists in the Senate and which Kamala Harris has promised to revive as President. Which bill would actually solve the problems?

The Bills H.R. 2 Outline Division A - Border Wall Would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to resume “all activities” related to constructing a border wall between the US and Mexico that were planned by the Trump administration. Wall would have to be at least 900 miles long, and include not only a physical wall, but also surveillance towers, radars, seismic acoustic detection sensors, and 24 hour drone monitoring. Would require killing all carrizo cane and salt cedar plants along the Rio Grande River by releasing non-stinging wasps imported from Spain and France into the area. Would waive “all legal requirements” that would stand in the way of of building the wall. Division B - Immigration Enforcement and Foreign Affairs Would make it illegal to process asylum claims of individuals who: do not enter at official ports of entry. crossed through another country on their way to the US and did not apply to live there and receive an official denial in each country they entered before entering the US. have been convicted of misdemeanor offenses, allowing the Secretary of Homeland Security or Attorney General to add disqualifying acts without approval from Congress and no court reviews allowed. Would allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to take away the authorization for an individual who has been accepted into the US through the asylum process to work legally in the US. Work permits would only be authorized for 6 months at a time. Would reopen detention centers that were closed by the Biden Administration. Title V - Protection of Children Would require the DHS Secretary to return unaccompanied children back to their home countries if they are not trafficking victims and do not have a fear of Return. Would authorize immigration officers to withdraw a child's application to be admitted into the United States regardless of the child's ability or desire to do so. Would require the DHS to collect information - name, social security number, DOB, address, contact info, and immigration status - of people who will be taking custody of immigrant children. Within 30 days of receiving that information, if they determine that individual is not legally in the United States, must initiate removal proceedings. Would change the law so that these people have “access” to lawyers instead of having lawyers to represent them. Title VI - Visa Overstay Penalties Would Increase fines for illegally entering the United States from $50-250 to $500-1000 Would create new penalties for overstaying visas: First offense: fines up to $1,000 or up to 6 months in prison, or both Repeat offenses: fines up to $2,000 or up to 2 years in prison, or both S.4361 Outline Division A - Border Security & Combatting Fentanyl Supplemental Appropriations $6.3 billion to border patrol. $6 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ~$2.4 billion for deportations. ~$1.6 billion for prisons (the goal in the bill is for ICE to be able to detain 46,500 humans at all times). ~$1.2 billion for services to help people navigate the immigration and asylum system, and to help people leave the country if denied visas (). ~$415 million to hire more ICE agents (goal is to hire 800 more agents). ~$200 million for counter fentanyl investigations. ~$4 billion to US Citizenship and Immigration Services with most going towards hiring more staff. ~ $1.2 billion to the State Department $850 million for “humanitarian needs in the Western Hemisphere” to reduce migration (with the idea being that if their home countries are less dangerous, then people won't want to come here as often) $230 million to pay other countries to accept deported individuals. $440 million, most of which would be spent on Immigration Judge Teams which include lawyers, court administrators, staff, and court costs. Would expand the number of border patrol and ICE officers authorized to issue a notice to appear, reducing the workload of the judges. Would allow protection determination proceedings to take place in any federally owned or leased building that is not property owned, leased or managed by ICE or border patrol and is “a reasonable distance” from the migrants current residence, expanding the locations where the cases can be heard beyond the already too crowded court buildings. Division B - Border Act Title I - Capacity Building For five years: would give the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to appoint people to positions within the Refugee, Asylum, and International Operation Directorate, the Field Operations Directorate, and the Service Center Operations Directorate of US Citizenship and Immigration Services if the Secretary determines that a critical hiring need exists. would give the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to appoint ICE deportation officers if the Secretary determines that a critical hiring need exists. Would provide a permanent authority for the DHS Secretary to re-hire a former employee to any position in ICE, Border Patrol, or US Citizenship & Immigration Services. Would give asylum officers a 15% pay raise. Would require annual training for border patrol officers about the law, de- escalation techniques, and migrant and agent safety measures. Title III - Securing America For three years, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be given the authority “in the Secretary's sole and unreviewable discretion” to declare a “border emergency” and remove any migrant who doesn't have pre-determined permission to enter the United States or doesn't present themselves at a port of entry in accordance with a process approved by the DHS Secretary. Title IV - Promoting Legal Immigration Would set up a special process to more easily admit no more than 10,000 refugees who worked with the United States from Afghanistan. Would allow the spouse, fiancé, or child of an admitted migrant to join them in the United States and receive employment authorizations. Would slightly increase the number of visas for family members that would be issued in years 2025 through 2029 (512,000 instead of 480,000 = ~ 6% increase). Audio Sources August 22, 2024 29:45 Vice President Kamala Harris: And let me be clear. After decades in law enforcement, I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border. Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. The Border Patrol endorsed it. But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign. So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Well, I refuse to play politics with our security. Here is my pledge to you: As President, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed. And I will sign it into law. July 18, 2024 April 18, 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration Witness: James McHenry, Director, Executive Office for Immigration Review, U.S. Department of Justice Clips 2:42 Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX): Earlier administrations, both Republican and Democrat, have struggled with how to reduce the case backlogs in the immigration courts. And, unfortunately, Congress has never provided the full extent of immigration judges and support staff truly needed to eliminate the backlogs. As a result, backlogs continue to grow, from 129,000 cases in fiscal 1998 to a staggering 684,000 as of February 2018. 3:27 Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX): Aliens in removal proceedings sometimes wait for years before they ever appear before an immigration judge. For example, as of February 2018 courts in Colorado have the longest time for cases sitting on their docket more than 1,000 days -- almost three years. In my home state of Texas, the current wait is 884 days -- almost two and a half years. 28:45 James McHenry: A typical immigration court proceeding has two stages, or two parts. The first is the determination of removability. The Department of Homeland Security brings charges and allegations that an alien has violated the immigration laws. The judge, the immigration judge, first has to determine whether that charge is sustained, and that will be based on the factual allegations that are brought, so the judge will make determinations on that. If there is a finding that the alien is removable, then the case proceeds to a second phase. If the judge finds the alien is not removable, then the case is terminated. At the second phase, the immigration judge gives the alien an opportunity to apply for any protection or relief from removal that he or she may be eligible for under the Immigration and Nationality Act. This will involve the setting of a separate hearing at which the respondent may present evidence, they may present witnesses, they have the right to cross-examine witnesses brought by the department, and they will bring up whatever factual bases there is for their claim of relief or protection. At the end of that hearing, the immigration judge will assess the evidence, will assess the testimony, will look at the law, and will render a decision. The judge may either grant the application, in which case the respondent will get to remain in the United States. The judge may deny the application but give the respondent an opportunity to voluntarily depart at their own expense and sometimes after paying a bond, or the immigration judge may order the alien removed. 41:50 Senator Mike Lee (R-UT): I believe you recently testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee that it would take about 700 immigration judges in order to be able to address the backlog and address the current case load. Is that correct? James McHenry: Yeah, last fall the president proposed adding additional immigration judges, up to a number of 700. If we can get 700 on board, especially with our performance measures, we could complete over 450,000 cases a year. That would eviscerate the backlog. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT): So, 700 would do it….

This week on Diving in Deep, Sara sits down with songwriter and author, Aimee Mayo! The two have a very vulnerable chat about the hardships Aimee has persevered through, as well as struggles they both have with body image. They share their journeys with love both for their partner and kids. Aimee and Sara take a walk down memory lane of their first time meeting and writing together, as well as Aimee's other hit songs.   About Aimee: Songwriter and Author, Aimee Mayo, grew up in Gadsden, Alabama, and moved to Nashville at twenty years old to write songs, which turned into waiting tables. When she was 23, she had Her first song on the radio "Places I've Never Been" by Mark Wills, and since then, her songs have spent twenty-six weeks in the #1 spot on the Billboard charts and albums featuring her songs have sold over 155 million units worldwide. As a teen, Aimee was surrounded by music. Her late father wrote hits for numerous country artists. Her brother Cory Mayo went on to write "You'll Be There," a hit for George Strait. Mayo is one of the few females to receive both BMI's Country Song of the Year, and BMI's Country Songwriter of the Year- putting her in the company of- Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Loretta Lynn. "Amazed," recorded by Lonestar that same year, is her most popular song to date. In 2004 it garnered an 8 Million Plays award from BMI, vaulting it into the top 125 songs in the BMI catalog out of 6.5 million works.

By Rick Beam in Chattanooga, TN, Gadsden, AL, Rome, GA - February 24, 2024 - The saying if it isn't broke don't fix it works great in the physical realm, not so much in the realm of relationships and roles dealing with humans. This is because all are broken in some way. We want to add to healing, so if it isn't fixed don't break it. Lift up the hands that hang down. Share the burden vs. don't climb up on that load. We want God to see us as a healer not a breaker.

By Rick Beam in Chattanooga, TN, Gadsden, AL, Rome, GA - March 9, 2024 - Acts 2:37, Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles "Men and brethren what shall we do?" One with conscience can be appealed to but one without cannot. Conscience can be tricked, it must be educated. Conscience becomes a kind of reservoir for the truth. This is why we must study God's word! The value is without measure. `

HOUR ONE: We are all familiar with humans' desire to fly. There are many legends about flying horses in various parts of the world, and they all have common characteristics that make them difficult to dismiss as only aviation dreams of the ancient people. Do some myths and legends reveal ancient people had sufficient technical knowledge to produce sophisticated flying machines? (Ancient Mechanical Flying Horses) *** A man in China claims to have been abducted by aliens not just once… not just twice… but three times. But will you believe his story after hearing the details? (Flying on an Alien's Back) *** There's an odd grave marker at Riverside Cemetery in Wahpeton, North Dakota – and an odd story that goes along with it. I'll tell you about the strange obelisk draped in rope and chains. (The Wahpeton Circus Grave) *** Those who walk along the wooded Hinds Road in Gadsden, Alabama should be wary, for there is a legend that residing there is a witch who sold her soul to the devil. (The Gadsden Witch of Alabama) *** You may think that a ghost referred to as ‘Humpty Doo' might be fun-loving and perhaps even a little goofy. However, Humpty Doo is an Australian slang term that means everything is being turned upside down...and, fittingly, it is also the name of the town where some bizarre poltergeist events took place. (The Humpty-Doo Poltergeist) *** Plus, from Paranormality Magazine - “Haunted Rockville, Indiana!”HOUR TWO:

Josh writes “My mom is a big fan of the podcast and suggested I share an encounter I had in Alabama back in 2012. At the time, we were living in Gadsden, Alabama right by Noccalula Falls. Every day when I would get home from school, I would go to the backyard to let our dog out of a run we had made and bring him into the house. One day, while I was going up the side yard, the dog was agitated for some reason and was barking more than he normally would. I wasn't paying too much attention and was just looking down at the path I was walking on until I heard a noise of some kind in the bamboo by the house. For whatever reason, our house had a bunch of bamboo growing around it (it was the only one in the neighborhood that had anything like that around) and I looked up to see a black, furry figure of some kind squatting down, ripping leaves off of the bamboo. I don't think it was a bear because I remember seeing it use a thumb pinch and grab leaves and things off the bamboo to eat. I froze where I was and watched it for a second and when it realized I was there it also froze and we just stared at each other for a few seconds before we both sprinted in opposite directions. I'll also share that at one point after that, I remember waking up in the middle of the night and looking up at a window above my bed in my room to see a face with sunken-in features looking down at me. That window faced the same side yard where I saw the bigfoot too, so I don't know if it or another one had come back to check it out again but it's something I'll never forget.”
