Podcasts about History

Walter Isaacson (The Greatest Sentence Ever Written) is a biographer, historian, and Professor of History at Tulane University. Walter returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss why he embeds himself into the lives of his subjects to write about them, how empathy can get in the way of success, and discovering the secret sauce of Elon Musk. Walter and Dax talk about his interest in people that try to learn as much as possible about everything knowable, the belief that growing up as a misfit can instill the drive seen in innovators of the modern age, and why an understanding of engineering is crucial to the political and philosophical conversations taking place today. Walter explains evaluating truths in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, the struggle and strategy to create common ground throughout American history, and his assertion as a historian that even heroes have great flaws and villains have backstories.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Did William Shakespeare really write his plays? was there even a William Shakespeare at all? This question has come up in History a few different times, and today it winds up on Carly's desk. Lewis and Nibbles join Carly (and her not-so authentic British accent) on a trip back to London to put the rumors to rest.

Wir springen in dieser Folge direkt in die Zeit der Einigungskriege. Genauer springen wir nach Frankreich, wo im Oktober 1870 ein berühmter Preuße in einer Gefängniszelle sitzt und kurz davor ist, als Spion verurteilt zu werden. Der Mann ist allerdings weder Soldat noch Spion, sondern Autor: Theodor Fontane. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, wie er in diese Situation kam, und was das für ihn, sein Werk und sein Vermächtnis bedeutete. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG443: J.S.

Like every single year in the 90s, 1996 was jam packed with unforgettable events and cultural moments. It was an era when the world seemed smaller and slower because without social media, news stories lasted longer and dominated headlines for weeks and months as information came to us in dribs in drabs. In this episode of History of the 90s we are going to dig a little deeper into the stories that captured our attention thirty years ago. These are 10 of the most memorable stories from 1996.  Show Info: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@that90spodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠90s@curiouscast.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tik Tok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠90spodcast⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump, Steven Miller, and other top administration officials are claiming that they are “running Venezuela,” taking over the country and its vast oil reserves. That's not true, the Venezuelan government remains intact, but they are imposing a full naval blockade on the country in an effort to completely shut down Venezuela's economy. The Trump admin also intends to conquer Greenland by one means or another, and are declaring ownership of the Western Hemisphere. Is the Trump administration's open rejection of international laws – which were designed to prevent another World War – just rhetoric? Or does it represent a larger shift in U.S. and thus global politics?

Ryan and Alex explore humanity's shift into a new age, one in which consciousness and technology reach a new pinnacle. They discuss ancient prophecies, mystery schools, and religious traditions that point to a future moment when the spiritual world begins to intersect with the physical realm. They also examine long-standing prophecies connected to the pyramids and the Sphinx, and what these ancient symbols may reveal about humanity's evolving consciousness and collective future.

On Friday the 13th, October 1307, the Knights Templar were destroyed in a single coordinated operation across France.Hundreds of Templar knights were arrested at dawn. Their property was seized. Their leaders were tortured. And within a few years, the most powerful military and financial institution in medieval Europe was erased.The official story says the Knights Templar were heretics.This investigation shows something very different.In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we uncover how the Knights Templar became Europe's first international banking system — and how a bankrupt king used fabricated heresy charges to eliminate his creditors in what may be the largest sovereign debt default of the Middle Ages.We examine:• How the Knights Templar became the bankers of kings and popes • Why King Philip IV of France was deeply indebted to the Templars • How heresy accusations were engineered as political weapons • The role of torture, propaganda, and legal theater • Why Friday the 13th still carries a legacy of power and fear This wasn't religious persecution.It was financial warfare — disguised as morality.Subscribe for weekly deep dives into the hidden forces behind history, power, money, and control.

In this episode of “History of the Second World War,” we explore the often-overlooked but strategically significant campaign in East Africa during 1940–1941, where British and Italian forces clashed across rugged terrain. While the Western Desert dominated headlines, behind-the-scenes battles raged in Ethiopia and Somalia — fought not just by Britons and Italians, but by diverse colonial troops including Indian soldiers and African askaris serving under both empires. We'll examine how logistical challenges, shifting alliances, and Churchill's broader Balkan ambitions shaped British strategy in the region — even as General Wavell struggled to balance multiple fronts with limited resources.

Pastor Mike speaks on reading and studying the Bible, offering motivation and practical advice for both new and mature Christians. He provides three core motivations for study: the blessing of simply possessing an affordable Bible today, the Bible's unique nature as the divinely inspired Word of God that transforms believers, and the availability of numerous translations and tools like study Bibles. Mike also advises listeners to avoid "randomly opening" the Bible ("flipping") or reading too fast without understanding, and suggests the key strategies of "sinking sections" (dividing the Bible into its major parts, like Law, History, Poetry, Gospels, etc.) and understanding the different “genres” (like poetry, which uses parallelism).

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, everybody! Happy New Year! It's 2026, and despite "feeling like ass" with a nasty flu, I'm fired up to share our 3-pronged attack strategy for the year ahead. History's repeating itself, folks: distressed real estate is on the rise, from residential notes to commercial defaults. Texas (and Florida's "errors") are hotspots, and opportunity knocks for those willing to roll up their sleeves!Forget 3% mortgages; people are tapping equity at 7% to survive, meaning more distressed assets hitting the market. Austin's getting a little too "hectic" with its "Democratic socialists" for my taste, so we're looking to South Texas for some probate action! This isn't just theory; it's our tactical approach to turn chaos into cash flow.Here's our battle plan for conquering distressed real estate in 2026:Non-Performing Notes & Strategic Sub-To Deals: We're targeting non-performing notes we can buy cheap enough for big checks or 12%+ cash flow. If not, we pivot to subject-to acquisitions with borrowers who have 20%+ equity, saving them from foreclosure while we pick up solid assets (using legal Texas wrap-arounds or lease options).South Texas Probate Power Plays: As Austin gets "not nice," we're diving deep into direct mail campaigns for probate deals in South Texas, aiming to scoop up properties from families who just want to move on.Capitalizing on Distressed Property & Borrower Engagement: Learn how we're reactivating direct marketing campaigns and old websites to find distressed properties, engaging directly with homeowners to help them avoid a credit-crushing foreclosure.The Unsung Hero: Consistent Marketing & Capital Raising: Discover why "consistency" is my word for 2026. Without it, you're a "ghost." We'll talk about effective social media (LinkedIn's good, Facebook's a "dumpster fire"), email lists, and why January-March are prime months for networking to raise capital.Why You Need to Take Action (Seriously!): This isn't a hobby; it's a business. Whether it's funding delinquencies or light rehab, you'll need capital. And if you've got a killer case study or a burning topic, reach out – we love to feature badasses closing deals!This isn't about sitting back and waiting; it's about leaning into the storm and finding the gold. If you're ready to stop getting "hobby results" and want to turn distressed properties into real wealth, it's time to act.

    This episode celebrates the 125th anniversary of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps by profiling four newly commissioned officers completing their Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC). The conversation highlights the diverse backgrounds and motivations of these future leaders, ranging from a former Master Sergeant with 22 years of enlisted service to first-generation college graduates and officers. By sharing their personal journeys, the guests illustrate the profound commitment required to balance the dual roles of a soldier and a healthcare professional.    The officers discuss the core values that define their service, emphasizing respect, compassion, and the need to maintain professional balance. They detail the rigorous training and mindset shift required to move from bedside nursing to military leadership, where readiness and adaptability are paramount. The interviews reveal that the Army Nurse Corps provides unique opportunities far beyond traditional civilian nursing, including roles in command, specialty practice, and global broadening assignments.     A central theme throughout the episode is the "limitless" nature of a career in military medicine. Whether transitioning from a combat medic background or starting fresh through ROTC scholarships, these officers are driven by a desire to impact the lives of service members and their families worldwide. Their stories serve as an inspiring testament to the enduring legacy of the Nurse Corps and its critical role in medical readiness.    The final takeaway is one of optimism and professional pride. As these officers prepare for their first duty stations, they demonstrate a readiness to face the challenges of military medicine with enthusiasm and dedication. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the professional development, personal sacrifice, and high-level leadership that characterize the next generation of "WarDocs" in the Army Nurse Corps.   Chapters (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps (01:34-04:30) From Master Sergeant to Nurse Practitioner- CPT Michael Morris (04:41-07:05) The Importance of Balance in Military Nursing- 2LT Julian Tagupa (07:09-09:43) First-Generation Success and Limitless Opportunities- 2LT Dana Williams (09:48-12:53) Leadership, Adaptability, and Readiness- 2LT Audrey Holder   Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps: This introductory segment honors the historic 125th anniversary of the Corps and introduces the podcast's mission to spotlight future leaders. Host Jeff Clark sets the stage for interviews with officers currently completing their Basic Officer Leader Course. (01:34-04:30) From Master Sergeant to Nurse Practitioner: Captain Michael Morris shares his 22-year journey from a combat medic to an officer and Family Nurse Practitioner. He discusses the transition from high-level enlisted leadership back to direct patient care and the core values of service and compassion that drive his new role. (04:41-07:05) The Importance of Balance in Military Nursing: Second Lieutenant Julian Tagupa describes his transition from the National Guard to active duty and the passion for one-on-one patient influence. He emphasizes the critical need for balance between being an Army officer, a professional nurse, and maintaining a personal life. (07:09-09:43) First-Generation Success and Limitless Opportunities: Second Lieutenant Dana Williams highlights her path as a first-generation college graduate who found her calling in the Army Nurse Corps through ROTC. She discusses the limitless career paths available in the military, including the potential for high-level command and the foundational value of respect. (09:48-12:53) Leadership, Adaptability, and Readiness: Second Lieutenant Audrey Holder shares her motivation as a compassionate leader and the benefits of the ROTC nursing scholarship. She explains how the Army Nurse Corps requires a high degree of adaptability and readiness, preparing officers to lead healthcare teams and deploy at a moment's notice. Take Home Messages The Dual Identity of the Soldier-Nurse: Serving in the Army Nurse Corps requires mastering a unique dual identity where one must be both a tactical military leader and a compassionate healthcare provider. This balance is essential for maintaining readiness and providing high-quality care across diverse environments, from state-of-the-art hospitals to austere settings. Diverse Pathways to Professional Growth: The military offers robust career progression models that allow individuals to advance from enlisted roles, such as combat medics, to commissioned officer roles, such as Nurse Practitioners. These pathways demonstrate the Army's commitment to internal development and provide a platform for long-term professional fulfillment and leadership. Commitment to Medical Readiness and Adaptability: A core requirement for military medical officers is the ability to adapt to rapidly changing assignments and maintain constant readiness for deployment. This flexibility ensures that the healthcare team is always prepared to support the needs of the unit and the nation, regardless of the location or timeframe. Foundational Values of Respect and Compassion: The success of the Army Nurse Corps is built on core values such as respect for patients and peers, as well as a deep spirit of empathy. These values shape the military healthcare culture and are vital for building trust with service members and their families during critical moments of care. Global Impact and Limitless Career Opportunities: Unlike civilian nursing, a career in the Army Nurse Corps provides expansive opportunities in command, broadening assignments, and international service. This "limitless" potential allows officers to impact the broader Department of Defense mission while honing specialized clinical and leadership skills.   Episode Keywords Army Nurse Corps, military medicine podcast, US Army nursing, Basic Officer Leader Course, BOLC, nurse officer training, military healthcare careers, combat medic to nurse, nursing leadership, medical readiness, ROTC nursing scholarship, military nursing stories, first generation officer, Army healthcare team, nursing opportunities, military career paths, nurse practitioner stories, Army nursing history, medical officer training, healthcare leadership, veteran nurses, WarDocs, healthcare professional development, Army medical readiness.

This is despite US tariffs which were initially set at to 49%, but later negotiated down to ~20%. At the same time, Chinese exports to the US plunged -40% YoY in Q3 2025. This comes as the region has a massive cost advantage over US and European manufacturing, which ranges from 20% to 100%, even after tariffs. Companies use Southeast Asian economies as alternative export bases to avoid China’s 37% reciprocal tariff. As a result, the amount of trade rerouting from China hit a record $23.7 billion in September. US trade flows are shifting sharply amid tariffs. https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2008327708200104042?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2008516399564509382?s=20  https://twitter.com/DrJStrategy/status/2008306299235189133?s=20   and a decisive shift of policy emphasis toward productive capital and economic sovereignty rather than financial engineering, Trump has reoriented the engines of growth toward productive capital, investment, industry, and national capacity. Anchored by the Trump Corollary, asserting a sovereign, American‑led Western Hemisphere and demonstrated in both the flawless military operation in Venezuela and the broader regime‑pressure strategy, this doctrine is not theater but an integrated fusion of economic, security, and hemispheric power. These changes are as profound in their structural implications as the original Jacksonian pivot, and those who assume Trump is a merely performative politician and strategist are therefore sorely mistaken, confusing a disruptive style with a coherent focused project to realign America's coalition, its economic model, and its role in the world.

Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested. If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee. That's where Greenland is. So, without stating what should happen here, this is **why** the Trump administration says they **need** Greenland for national security. The other thing that is happening is that the Northern Passage through the Arctic is opening up, and soon there will be Chinese cargo ships sailing through the Arctic to Rotterdam. It's faster than the Suez and the ships aren't limited to Suezmax size so China and EU trade is going to accelerate a lot. This means Chinese submarines will also be venturing under the Arctic into the Northern Atlantic, IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY DOING SO. Hence, the North East coast of Greenland serves not 1 but 2 critical strategic security objectives of US national security.

We Have Nothing to Lose!” (VIDEO)  Protests against Iran's murderous Islamic regime continued across the country for a ninth straight day over the weekend, as nationwide unrest intensifies and the government struggles to maintain control. Demonstrations have now spread to multiple cities throughout Iran, with citizens openly defying the Islamic Republic and targeting its symbols of power. The latest wave of protests was initially sparked by the collapse of Iran's currency, further devastating an already-crippled economy and pushing ordinary Iranians to the brink.

They insist the world runs on rules now and that borders are sacred. Also that true power has been replaced by paperwork. This belief is not moral in the least. It's f*****g archaeological. They live inside institutions built by violence, defended by men they no longer understand, and guaranteed by forces they refuse to acknowledge. Like tourists wandering a fortress, they admire the stonework while mocking the idea of a siege. They confuse order with nature. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then blame the person that reminds them of this. Civilization is not the default state of humanity. It is an achievement that is temporary, fragile, and expensive. It exists only where force once cleared the ground and still quietly patrols the perimeter. A lion does not debate the ethics of hunger. Neither does a starving empire. History is not a morality play, it is a pressure test. When pressure rises, abstractions collapse first. Laws follow power; they do NOT precede it. Property exists only where someone can prevent it from being taken. Sovereignty is not declared, it is enforced. The modern West outsourced this enforcement, then forgot the invoice existed. So when someone points out uncomfortable realities (whether about Greenland, Venezuela, or the broader balance of power) they respond with ritual incantations: “You can't do that.” “That's wrong.” “That's against the rules.” As if the rules themselves are armed. As if history paused because we asked nicely. This is how empires fall. Not from invasion alone, but from conceptual rot. From mistaking a long season of safety for a permanent condition. From believing lethality is immoral instead of foundational. Every civilization that forgot how violence works eventually relearned it the hard way. The conquerors did not arrive because they were monsters; they arrived because their victims could no longer imagine them. The tragedy is not that power still exists. The tragedy is that so many have forgotten it does. Idk who needs to hear this but civilization is a garden grown atop a graveyard. Ignore the soil, and someone else will plant something far less gentle. Hate me for being the messenger and asking the hard questions about conquest if you want. You're just wasting your time. War/Peace Zelenskyy Announces the Appointment of Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland as Economic Advisor  Chrystia Freeland was the former lead of the Canadian trade delegation when Trudeau realized he needed to try and offset the economic damage within the renegotiated NAFTA agreement known as the USMCA. Freeland was also the lead attack agent behind the debanking effort against Canadian truckers who opposed the vaccine mandate. In addition to holding Ukraine roots, the ideology of Chrystia Freeland as a multinational globalist and promoter for the World Economic Forum's ‘new world order' is well documented.    given the recent revelations about billions of laundered aid funds being skimmed by corrupt members of the Ukraine government, we can only imagine how much of the recovery funds would be apportioned to maintaining the life of indulgence the political leaders expect. In response to the lucrative “voluntary” appointment, Chrystia Freeland has announced her resignation from Canadian government in order to avoid any conflict of interest as the skimming is organized.

The “Coalition of the Willing” (including the UK, France, Germany, and others) is coordinating these pledges to reassure Kyiv, but the framework explicitly ties into U.S.-backed elements like ceasefire verification and long-term armaments.  Russia has not yet shown willingness to compromise on core demands, so the deal’s success remains uncertain, but this step advances the security pillar of the overall plan.

President Trump signs Executive Order 14287 in the Oval Office. The title reads like standard bureaucracy: “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.” But in the third paragraph, a single phrase changes everything: Sanctuary jurisdictions are engaging in “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.” Insurrection. The exact statutory term from 10 U.S.C. §§ 332-333 . The language that unlocks the Insurrection Act of 1807. Georgetown Law professor Martin Lederman publishes analysis within days. The executive order mirrors Section 334 requirements. The formal proclamation to disperse before military deployment. It designates unlawful actors, issues formal warning, establishes consequences. Governors dismiss it as political theater. Constitutional attorneys recognize something else. The proclamation was already issued. Trump just didn't announce it as such. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK January 20, 2025. Inauguration Day. Hours after taking the oath, Trump issues Proclamation 10886 declaring a national emergency at the southern border. Section 6(b) requires a joint report within 90 days on whether to invoke the Insurrection Act. The deadline falls April 20, 2025. Eight days later comes Executive Order 14287 . National emergency declaration establishes crisis conditions. The 90-day clock forces formal evaluation. The executive order provides the legal predicate. Section 334 of the Insurrection Act mandates the president issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying military force. April 28 order satisfies every requirement. It names the actors. Describes their unlawful conduct. Warns of consequences. Grants opportunity to comply. Governors treated it as negotiation leverage. It was legal notification. The trap locked in April 2025. Everything since has been documentation. THE TESTING PHASE Throughout 2025, the administration attempts standard enforcement. National Guard deployments under existing authority. October 4, 2025 . Trump federalizes 300 Illinois National Guard members to protect ICE personnel in Chicago. Governor J.B. Pritzker files immediate legal challenge. Federal courts block the deployment. Posse Comitatus restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. November 2025 . Portland judge issues permanent injunction against Guard deployment in Oregon. December 23, 2025 . The Supreme Court denies emergency relief in Trump v. Illinois. Justice Kavanaugh files a brief concurrence with a consequential footnote: “One apparent ramification of the Court's opinion is that it could cause the President to use the U.S. military more than the National Guard.” Northwestern Law professor Paul Gowder decodes the signal : “This is basically an invitation for Trump to go straight to the Insurrection Act next time.” The courts established ordinary measures cannot succeed when states organize systematic resistance. They certified that regular law enforcement has become impracticable. They documented the exact threshold Section 332 requires. The founders designed a system that assumed conflict between federal and state authority. For decades, that friction was suppressed. Emergency powers normalized after 9/11, federal agencies expanded into state domains, courts deferred to administrative expertise. The Guard deployment battles weren't system failure. They were constitutional gravity reasserting itself. Courts blocking deployments under Posse Comitatus didn't weaken Trump's position. They certified that ordinary measures had become impracticable, crossing Section 332's threshold. December 31, 2025 . Trump announces Guard withdrawal from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland via Truth Social. Governor Newsom celebrates: “President Trump has finally admitted defeat.” But the machine's interpretation misreads strategic repositioning as retreat. You cannot claim ordinary measures have been exhausted if contested forces remain deployed. Pull back. Let obstruction resume unchecked. Document the refusal. Then demonstrate what unilateral executive action looks like when constitutional authority aligns. THE DEMONSTRATION Trump v. United States . THE HIDDEN NETWORKS Intelligence sources describe what the roundups since fall 2025 actually target. Embedded cartel operatives running fentanyl distribution chains under state-level protection. The riots following military arrests aren't organic resistance. They're funded backlash from criminal enterprises losing billions. Pre-staged materials appear at protest sites. Simultaneous actions coordinate across jurisdictions. The coordination runs deeper. Federal employee networks across multiple agencies held Zoom training sessions in early 2025. Officials with verified government IDs discussed “non-cooperation as non-violent direct action,” the 3.5% rule for governmental collapse, and infrastructure sabotage through coordinated sick calls. They planned to make federal law enforcement impracticable. The exact language Section 332 requires. Sanctuary policies exist because cartel operations generate billions flowing through state systems. Governors sit on nonprofit boards receiving federal grants. Those nonprofits contract back to state agencies, cycling federal dollars through “charitable” organizations. Cartel cash launders through these same construction and real estate networks. When Trump's operations extract high-value targets, they disrupt the business model. The Machine defends itself through coordinated obstruction designed to make federal enforcement impracticable. This transcends immigration policy. This tests whether states can capture governance for criminal enterprises and nullify federal supremacy. THE LINCOLN PARALLEL Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation confounded supporters and critics alike. Abolitionists expected moral thunder. Instead they received dry legalese about “military necessity” and “war powers.” The document deliberately avoided the word “freedom.” It specified which states, parishes, counties. It exempted border states still in the Union. Constitutional historians recognize the genius. Lincoln wasn't making a moral proclamation. He was establishing irreversible legal predicate under war powers. Once issued, even Northern defeat couldn't fully restore slavery. The proclamation made restoration of the old order structurally impossible. Trump's April 28 order follows identical construction. Critics expected immigration rhetoric. Instead: technical language about “unlawful insurrection” and “federal supremacy.” Specified sanctuary jurisdictions, formal notification procedures, funding suspensions. Avoided inflammatory language. Constitutional attorneys recognize the structure. Irreversible legal predicate under insurrection powers. Even political defeat cannot fully restore sanctuary authority. States would have to prove they're not in systematic insurrection. Both presidents disguised constitutional warfare as administrative procedure. THE COMPLETE RECORD When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts' miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement. It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply. Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority. Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable. Every statutory requirement checks complete: Formal proclamation warning insurgents to disperse: April 28, 2025 Executive Order 14287 Extended opportunity to comply: Eight months from April to December 2025 Documented systematic multi-state obstruction: Sanctuary laws, prosecution threats, coordinated resistance Exhausted ordinary enforcement measures: Guard deployments blocked by federal courts Judicial certification of impracticability: Supreme Court ruling with Kavanaugh footnote The legal architecture stands finished. The predicate has been established. Only the final triggering event remains. Thomas Jefferson signed the Insurrection Act into law on March 3, 1807 . He understood executive authority: forge the instrument ahead of the storm, then await the conditions that justify its use. Abraham Lincoln used it to preserve the Union when eleven states organized systematic resistance. Ulysses S. Grant invoked it to shatter the Ku Klux Klan when Southern governments refused to protect Black citizens. Dwight Eisenhower deployed federal troops to enforce Brown v. Board when Arkansas chose defiance. Each invocation followed the same pattern. Local authorities refuse to enforce federal law. The president issues formal proclamation. Forces deploy when resistance continues. The current situation exceeds every historical precedent in scale and coordination. Multiple state governments coordinating systematic obstruction. Sanctuary jurisdictions spanning dozens of cities. Criminal enterprises funding the resistance through captured state institutions. The April proclamation gave them eight months to stand down. They chose escalation. THE COUNTDOWN The January 4 statement confirms what the legal timeline already established. Prerequisites met. Constitutional threshold crossed and judicially certified. The operational timeline is active. The next escalation triggers the formal dispersal order. Section 334 requires the president issue proclamation ordering insurgents to “disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes” before deploying military force. That's the legal tripwire. Once issued, if obstruction persists after the compliance window closes, federal troops can enforce federal law. Active duty forces under the Insurrection Act. Constitutional. Unreviewable. The forces won't conduct door-to-door immigration raids. They'll provide security perimeters while federal law enforcement executes targeted operations against high-value assets. Operatives. Trafficking nodes. Criminal infrastructure. Targeting oath-bound officials elected and appointed, as well as federal employees who swore to uphold federal law and chose insurrection instead. THE RESTORATION Sanctuary jurisdictions received explicit insurrection warnings last spring. More than half a year to comply. Every olive branch rejected. Courts blocked ordinary enforcement repeatedly, certifying impracticability. The Venezuela op demonstrated unilateral resolve. Yesterday's statement activated the operational sequence. Pattern recognized. Machine is exposed. Evidence is complete. What remains is execution. They're just waiting to hear it tick. The most powerful weapon restrains until every prerequisite aligns. Until mercy extends fully and meets systematic rejection. Until the constitutional framework demands its use. Every prerequisite has aligned. Mercy has been extended and rejected. The framework demands its use. Revolution destroys. Reversion restores. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves. The Insurrection Proclamation frees a republic.  https://twitter.com/EkoLovesYou/status/2008304655156342936?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2008597603412308341?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

recorded January 3rd 2026 Revolutionary Guerrilla Menace's 2025: A Year in History! A fantastic discussion with blistering analysis from the crew. We discussed US criminal assault on Venezuela and its consequences geopolitically and economically on US empire and its designs in Latin America and implications for West Asia and especially subversion or assault on Iran. We analyzed US/Western imperialism and how it is the primary contradiction in global capitalism. Other topics we touched on were far right politics and "divisions" obfuscating the central class politics, the demonization of refugees, climate/ecology, big tech and AI in the infrastructure of empire, and much more! Lots of great audience comments, provocations and interaction as well.

The Devil's Ledger — January 5, 2026 Happy New Year — and welcome back. We're kicking off 2026 with a chilling slate across the Evio universe. We start with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week — a winter nightmare from Japan about the Yuki-onna, the mysterious “snow woman” who appears during blizzards… and quietly breathes the warmth out of anyone who helps her. Then, on The Devil Within, we open a two-part investigation into the 1955 Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter — the farmhouse siege that helped shape modern alien mythology. Over on The Ides of April, we begin our deep dive into the fall of Tsar Nicholas II and the brutal end of the Romanov dynasty. History turns fast — and it doesn't look back. The guys from Taboo Treasures are still shaking off the holidays — they'll be back next week with something wild. This week on Criminal Mischief, we examine the disappearance of Anna Walshe — a mother of three whose New Year's Day “work emergency” unraveled into something far darker. A true can't-miss. And in This Week in Horror, we're talking PRIMATE — the pet-turned-predator creature feature that feels like CUJO's unhinged cousin.

Andy Kim, U.S. Senator (D NJ), talks about his work in the Senate and the issues in New Jersey. Topics this month include the Trump administration's military actions in Venezuela, the lasting ramifications of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and more.

Next up in our new series, Not Just Stories: A Guide to the Gospels, we're unpacking the history and context that make Jesus's story come alive.  What was Jesus really like, and what was happening when He came on the scene? And why does this matter to us today? In this episode, Keith and Patrick uncover the historical and cultural context behind the Gospels: Jesus's social status, education, and work, the tension between Roman rulers and Jewish people, and the various religious sects shaping daily life. Learn why understanding Jesus's world makes the stories of the Gospels come alive in a way you may have yet to experience.

WFAN presents a selection of conversations about the Jets and their season-ending blowout loss at the hands of the Buffalo Bills from Boomer & Gio, Evan & Tiki, and The Craig Carton Show with Chris McMonigle.

This week we talk about prediction markets, incentives, and gambling addiction.We also discuss insider trading, spot-fixing, and Gatorade.Recommended Book: The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory by Tim AlbertaTranscriptPrediction markets are hundreds of years old, and have historically been used to determine the likelihood of something happening.In 1503, for instance, there was a market to determine who would become the next pope, and from the earliest days of commercial markets, there were associated prediction markets that were used to gauge how folks thought a given business would do during an upcoming economic quarter.The theory here is that while you can just ask people how well they think a political candidate will fare in an election or who they think will become the next pope, often their guesses, their assumptions, or their analysis will be swayed by things like political affiliation or maybe even what they think they're meant to say—the popular papal candidate, for instance, or the non-obvious, asymmetric position on a big commercial enterprise that might help an analyst reinforce their brand as a contrarian.If you introduce money into the equation, though, forcing people to put down real currency on their suspicions and predictions, and give them the chance to earn money if they get things right, that will sometimes nudge these markets away from those other incentives, making the markets commercial enterprises of their own. It can shift the bias away from posturing and toward monetization, and that in turn, in theory at least, should make prediction markets more accurate because people will try to align themselves with the actual, real-deal outcome, rather than the popular—with their social tribe, at least—or compellingly unpopular view.This is the theory that underpins entities like Polymarket, Kalshi, Manifold Markets, and many other online prediction markets that have arisen over the past handful of years as regulations on these types of businesses have been eased, and as they've begun to establish themselves as credible players in the predicting-everything space.In politics in particular, these markets have semi-regularly shown themselves to be better gauges of who will actually win elections than conventional polls and surveys, and though their records are far from perfect and still heavily biased in some cases, such community-driven predictions from money-motivated markets are gaining credibility because of their capacity to incentivize people to put their money where their mouths are, and to try to profit from accurate preordination.The flip-side of these markets, and some might even say a built-in flaw with no obvious solution, is that they are rife with insider trading: people who are in the position to know things ahead of time making in some cases millions of dollars by placing big bets that, for them, aren't bets at all, because they know what will or what is likely to happen.This seems to have occurred at least a few times with big political events in 2025, and it's anticipated that it could become an even bigger issue in the future, especially for markets that use cryptocurrencies to manage payments, as those are even less likely than their fiat currency peers to keeps solid tabs on who's actually behind these bets, and thus who might be trading on knowledge that they're not supposed to be trading on.That said, it could be argued that such insider trading makes these markets even more accurate, eventually at least. And that points us toward another problem: the possibility that someone on the inside might look at a market and realize they can make a killing if they use their position, their power to sway these markets after placing a bet, giving them the ability to assure a payout by abusing their position—major events being influenced by the possibility of a community-funded payday for those in control.What I'd like to talk about today is the same general principle as it's playing out in the sports world, and why the huge sums of money that are now sloshing around in the sports betting industry in the US are beginning to worry basically everyone, except the sports betting companies themselves.—In October of 2025, the head coach of the NBA basketball team, the Portland Trail Blazers, Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat player Terry Rozier, and former NBA player Damon Jones, and about 30 other people were arrested by the FBI due to their alleged illegal sports gambling activities. Rozier was already under investigation following unusual betting activity that was linked to his performance in a 2023 game—he was later cleared of wrongdoing, but the implication then and in this more recent instance is that he and those other folks who were rounded up by the FBI may have been involved in rigging things so they could get a big payoff on gambling markets.Similar things have been happening across the sports world, including a lifetime ban for Jontay Porter, a former Toronto Raptors player, who apparently gave confidential information to people who were placing bets on NBA games—he later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud as a result of that investigation—and in November of 2025 two Major League Baseball players, both of them pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians, Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, were charged by federal prosecutors for allegedly rigging pitches to benefit people betting on those pitches; they've been charged with wire fraud and money laundering, and each could face up to 65 years in prison.And those are just a few of the many instances of game-rigging that have been alleged in recent years, the specifics of which vary, but the outcome is always to give someone an advantage in these markets, which are only recently broadly legal across the United States, and which thus allow folks with the right connections or some money to invest ahead of time to, for instance, pay a pitcher to throw an inning, or pay a coach to tell them who will be benched and when, so that they can make a big wager with less of a risk, or in some cases, no risk at all.One of the big issues here is that rather than simply being a which-team-will-win sort of thing, many of these bets are highly specific and granular, including what are called proposition or prop bets that allow folks to gamble on the number of strikeouts a pitcher will tally in a given inning and other very specific things.If a pitcher were to then place a bet, perhaps through an intermediary, on their own prop bet-related performance, they would stand a decent chance of tallying the right number of strikes and balls. They could also sell that information to someone else, taking a guaranteed payout in exchange for the foreknowledge they grant that gambler, who could then do what they want with the information, and then if they do well with it, they could pay that pitcher to do the same again in the future.This type of bet is called spot-fixing, and it's seen across prediction markets, not just sports markets. Pitchers can fix an inning of a game, but poker players can also go all-in or fold a given number of times in a tournament, and the folks in charge of dumping Gatorade over the winning coach following a Super Bowl event can leak that color, based on their foreknowledge of the setup, to gamblers—these markets are sprawling and varied, and anyone in any position of power who can make decisions about such things, or who's involved enough to leak information can do so at a profit, either themselves putting down money on spot-fixed prop bets, or selling that information to those who will themselves place a bet.The issue sports organizations in the US are now running into is that while they aligned themselves with sports gambling entities like DraftKings and FanDuel after these platforms were legalized in more states following the striking-down of a federal ban on such things in 2018—as I record this, they're currently legal in 31 states, alongside Washington DC and Puerto Rico—and they've profited a fair bit from that, allowing these businesses to become sponsors, to slap their logos on everything, and to generally become interwoven with the leagues themselves; despite all that, they've also created a sports culture in which betting is ultra-common, and that means fans are no longer just fans, they're putting down money on various possible sports-related outcomes.That means folks who were maybe previously die-hard fans of their local team may no longer just be disappointed when their team loses, they'll be financially impacted, perhaps even devastated. And many athletes who play on these teams, in these leagues, are now suffering all kinds of abuse and threats from people who decided to put a lot of money on their performance, but who failed to win a game, or maybe even throw the exact right number of strikes and balls in a given inning.This points at two big issues with sports betting in the US right now.First is that there's a lot of money splashing around in this space. An estimated $160-170 billion was wagered by US citizens in 2025 alone, generating about $16.4 billion in revenue for sportsbooks—the entities that take these sorts of bets.That's likely a significant undercount, too, as more generalist prediction markets are also getting involved in the sports betting game, blending this type of gambling with other sorts of prediction markets, like those related to politics and international happenings, like war.And second, a lot of people are gambling a lot of money on sports stuff right now, and that's becoming an issue. In October of 2025, a Pew Research poll found that 43% of US adults think legalized sports betting is bad for society, up from 34% in 2022, and 40% says it's bad for sports, up from 33%. A whopping 22% of US adults say they personally bet money on sports in the past year, up from 19% in 2022, and 10%, one in ten American adults, say they have placed a sports bet online in the past year, up from 6% in 2022.There has been a significant increase in calls to the National Problem Gambling Helpline in recent years—a 45% increase from 2017 in states where sports betting hasn't been legalized, and a 148% increase, more than three times as much, in states where sports betting was legalized by August of 2025. Not for nothing, too, it's estimated that professional athletes are about five-times more likely than the average person to become hooked on gambling, which would seem to amplify all these issues, in addition to the obvious problems this can create for people with often high-paying, but also often financially precarious, short-term careers.The implication, then, is that legal sports betting either sparks or reinforces gambling issues, creating more addictive behavior and triggering more financial issues. And bankruptcy numbers seem to back this up: in states where online gambling is allowed, bankruptcy rates increased by 28% and debt collections rose by 8% just two years after sports betting legalization. Data also shows that there's a 20% increase in mass-market alcohol consumption in states with legalized sports betting, and that for every dollar spent on sports betting, 99 cents of investment money disappears from records, which means, basically, people are not using spare money they would spend on random stuff anyway when placing these bets, they're spending money that would otherwise be put into savings, or which is already in their savings on this type of gambling—and much of that money then disappears into the pockets of these gambling platforms.This same general state of affairs has played out in other countries before the US, but things seem to be moving especially fast here in part because this isn't gambling that's limited to a physical location, it's increasingly being conducted on smartphones and other always-on-us devices, and that means it's easier to get hooked, but also that it's more accessible to more people more of the time, and the ever-present deluge of information about these topics, and about these platforms that allow us to casually place bets on said topics, make getting sucked in and sold on the idea of easy money, simpler and more likely than ever before.Show Noteshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/10/23/nba-chauncey-billups-terry-rozier-arrested-betting-probe/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/11/09/emmanuel-clase-luis-ortiz-indicted-bribes/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/12/29/sports-betting-integrity-fans/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/10/29/player-prop-bets-nba-arrests/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/06/14/sports-betting-athlete-abuse-online/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bookmakershttps://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-bettinghttps://nypost.com/betting/best-sports-betting-apps-usa/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_the_United_Stateshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_bettinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsbookhttps://www.delasport.com/history-of-sports-betting/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7780080/https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/story/_/id/23561576/chalk-line-how-got-legalized-sports-bettinghttps://www.cnn.com/2024/05/03/sport/sports-betting-usa-impact-on-lives-spt-intlhttps://naadgs.org/history-of-sports-betting-the-transition-from-illegal-to-mainstream/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_match-fixing_incidentshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_gambling_in_the_United_Stateshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_and_Amateur_Sports_Protection_Act_of_1992https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_the_United_Kingdomhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_markethttps://users.wfu.edu/strumpks/papers/Int_Election_Betting_Formatted_FINAL_NoComments.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition_bethttps://www.axios.com/2025/12/14/sports-betting-gambling-young-men-crisishttps://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/47337056/scandals-prediction-markets-2025-turning-point-sports-bettinghttps://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/10/02/americans-increasingly-see-legal-sports-betting-as-a-bad-thing-for-society-and-sports/ This is a public episode.

The Age of Victoria returns for the 2026 season with a high-energy prologue to our new series, “Hunger and Revolution”. In this episode, we follow the “magnificent, terrible, magnetic” Lola Montez as she transitions from the stage to the high-stakes world of European politics. Lola becomes an “accidental bunch of dynamite,” moving through the bohemian circles of Paris and the royal halls of Munich. Her volatile relationship with the “rockstar” composer Franz Liszt and her scandalous influence over King Ludwig I of Bavaria serve as a sparking point for the unrest that would soon consume the continent. Against the grim backdrop of the “Continental Famine” and rising industrial tensions, we examine how one woman's individual actions could help bring the curtain down on the pre-modern age. Key Topics Covered: Bohemian Paris in the 1840s: A city of romance and industry undergoing a transformation marked by early railway stations, gas streetlights, and artistic experimentation. Lisztomania and the Great Composers: Exploring the electric performances and scandalous love life of Franz Liszt—the “rockstar” of the 19th century—who redefined the status of the artist in society. The Duel of Dujarier: Lola's time in the French literary scene alongside figures like Victor Hugo ended in tragedy when her lover, journalist Alexandre Henri Dujarier, was killed in a reluctant pistol duel. The “Gallery of Beauties”: A look at the 36 oil paintings in King Ludwig's collection, where Lola's portrait eventually sparked a national scandal. The Continental Famine: Examining the “parallel story” of the 1845–1847 potato blight across Europe that fueled the urban discontent leading to the 1848 revolutions. The Fall of Munich: The student riots at the University of Munich involving the “Lolamannen,” the exile of Montez, and King Ludwig I's ultimate abdication. “The Battle of Ballarat”: A summary of Lola's later years, including her infamous whip-fight with a newspaper editor in the Australian goldfields.

Five years ago today, a violent mob broke into the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to halt the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Mary Clare Jalonick, a reporter for the Associated Press, discusses her new book, an oral history of January 6th, titled Storm at the Capitol: An Oral History of January 6th, and listeners share their memories and thoughts on the event.

On the collective subject at the end of the End of History. Panagiotis Sotiris, Historical Materialism editorial board member and assistant professor at the University of the Aegean, talks to Alex and Lee about class and the "national-popular". Is the way to recover popular sovereignty to "return" to the nation? Is there a contradiction between this and declaring oneself to be "in favour of open frontiers for migrants and refugees"? What is the meaning of citizenship in this case? What's the difference between Gramsci's conceptions of people-nation and nation-rhetoric? Does the radical right's "civilisational nationalism" offer the left an opportunity to reclaim a popular notion of nationhood?

When did we truly become Americans — and what did the Founders actually believe about defending our nation? In this powerful episode, Tara dismantles the myth that America was ever meant to be isolationist. From the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, to the Monroe Doctrine just 30 years later, Tara walks through the history the political class hopes you've forgotten — and why it matters right now. This episode connects early American strategy to modern threats: China's control of rare earth minerals, infiltration through student visas, agricultural warfare, and the global pressure campaign unfolding across our hemisphere. This isn't Iraq. This isn't Afghanistan. This is something very different — and very real. History didn't change.
