EPISODE 128 | Estimated Prophets: Nostradamus & Cayce Even though almost none of the things that prophets say will happen actually do, we still persist in believing in the capability anyway. We do not like to change out minds very much. Two of the biggest prophets that still hold sway today over Western culture are Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce, and we'll take a look at each one in turn.

The uncut interview of Stephen Colbert's visit to Google's New York office. You can find Stephen's book on Google Play here: http://goo.gl/Jyujo. America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't is more of a coffee-table book, with large color pictures, and chapter photos that require the use of included 3-D glasses. It falls somewhere between I Am America and the Daily Show faux-textbooks America (The Book) and Earth (The Book), which used that organizing principle to their advantage. The premise follows the many apocalyptic views of the past four years, claiming America has gone off the rails and completely lost its way, and that only this book offers the true path to restore America's greatness. Which was never really gone, because it's America. The best idea America Again mocks is the one contained in its title. In particular, it skewers Newt Gingrich's 2011 book A Nation Like No Other, which claimed, "America's exceptional greatness is not based on that fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous—and most generous—nation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism." That is one preposterously arrogant whopper, which America Again exploits as an illogical chicken/egg position. The subtle difference between a beneficial amount of pride and the unchecked belief in exceptionalism is ripe for mockery. Stephen Colbert has been playing Stephen T. Colbert since 2005. In those seven years, he's built an impressive mythology to his character, a funhouse mirror held up to shame all other egomaniacal pundits for their hubris. But while the shtick is still reliably funny on television, it doesn't translate as well into print, because a book doesn't have television's immediacy. There's no Super PAC plotline, just a bunch of chapters that respond to issues a bit too late. Colbert and his staff are still extraordinarily funny, but in reaching for a middle-of-the-road coffee table humor book, America Again finds the limits of their comedic talent.

Quick note: My interviews this week were recorded in the last half of January, but publishing was delayed by my emergency trip out of town. My first interview is with constitutional scholar and law professor Rob Natelson. We talked about the constitutionality of impeaching President Trump a second time, whether the facts show that he incited an insurrection, and how the media has become much more propagandistic for one side of the political aisle than it has ever been. Natelson writes at Epoch Times regularly, and is articles can be found at https://www.theepochtimes.com/author-robert-g-natelson. My second interview is a first hand account of the mayhem and destruction in downtown Portland for the past nine months, as told by someone who lives there. Susan Griffin lives in Section 8 housing and is legally disabled. Originally she supported Black Lives Matter and worked actively to get far left Democrats elected in Portland. For her effort, she was rewarded with having her concerns about a lawless downtown completely ignored by city leadership. As someone who is permanently disabled and unable to move, she describes her no-win situation having to deal with nightly riots and frequent harassment by the homeless, drug addicts, and antifa rioters that leave her in constant fear and anxiety.

Let’s just jump right into it. Both my interviews this week feature someone who has had enough of Kate Brown’s draconian and arbitrary lockdown orders and have decided to do something about it. Both of these folks have decided that it’s time to start asking Kate the hard questions. My first interview this week is with Stan Pulliam, the Mayor of Sandy, Oregon. Mayor Pulliam has heard from business owners in his community who are right on the precipice of shutting down for good. In turn, the mayor has started asking the governor lots of questions. We talk about the phone call he had with Kate Brown, how he’s been invited to speak in towns across Oregon, and the overwhelming response he’s received by desperate business owners wanting the freedom to run their businseses, despite almost no promotion of his speaking engagements. Pulliam is leading an effort for businesses to voluntarily reopen on January 1 to show that we can open up our economy safely and responsibly, and help small business survive in Oregon. You can find Mayor Pulliam on Facebook and Twitter by searching for Mayor Stan Pulliam, or at stanpulliam.org. My second interview is an update from Lindsey Graham of Glamour! Salon in Salem. Over the summer, she sued Kate Brown and the State of Oregon in federal court over violations of her civil rights. She and her legal team have now withdrawn that suit and filed in state court. She updates us in the new strategy of seeking a jury trial, seeking damages in state court (which she can’t pursue in federal court), and all the different state agencies she’s included in her suit that persecuted her over the summer. Meanwhile, she still refuses to pay the thousands in fines issued by OSHA, and hopes the whole thing can be resolved by a jury. Lindsey is a warrior who refuses to back down in the face of intense bullying by the state. You can find all her updates on Instagram at patriot.barbie.

He was the doctor whose license was suspended for speaking at a Stop the Steal rally in support of President Trump. When he announced that he and his employees at his clinic don’t wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19, he ignited a firestorm in the medical community. This despite the fact that not one case of coronavirus has been traced to his clinic, and despite his medically sound virus mitigation efforts that have kept the clinic clean. We talked about the politically motivated hit job on him by the State of Oregon, the devastation his community has felt since his clinic was shut down, and what his next steps are. Dr. LaTulippe is confident he can beat the state in court, and is willing to sacrifice to stand up to the thugs in Salem while exposing the bad science behind the lockdowns and mask mandates. He has set up a legal defense fund at https://givebutter.com/fyy71hso if you google Give Butter and Steve LaTulippe, it will pop up. My second interview is with Adam Andrzejewski of OpenTheBooks.com. He recently published a report called Improper Payments: Analyzing $2.3 Trillion Mistakenly Spent By The U.S. Government Since 2004 | OpenTheBooks Oversight Report. It’s a necessary reminder that when we hand over control of the checkbook to government officials and bureaucrats, they will waste exactly as much money as we give them. Adam and I talk about the most outrageous examples of government waste at a federal level, the effect it had on the election process, and even some of his favorite examples from Oregon. This interview will leave you outraged. Once again, check out OpenTheBooks.com for all the sordid details.

Gabe is fired up and pissed off about what he witnessed at the Red House Autonomous Zone today. Language warning: Gabe didn’t hold back, and he used some colorful metaphors to get his message out. He says he was surrounded and harassed by armed militia posing as security, and that tensions have increased exponentially over the past few days. The situation on North Mississippi Avenue is a powder keg ready to explode, and it’s due to the leaders of Portland failing to take action to curb the violence.

She had a hearing last week, and another one this week, with OSHA, who could not prove that she is an employer. As a salon owner, she leases stations to independent contractors, making her not an employer and not subject to the jurisdiction of OSHA. They’ve proceeded with a $14,000 fine against her anyway.

A new trend has begun here in the “anarchist jurisdiction”of New York City, as Trump so lovingly termed our beloved big apple.  Political action groups have taken to the streets in song and in dance, to inspire people across the county to vote, using the language that we love most.  The Ensemblist produced a video called “I Am America”, and I was on site documenting the experience, dancing my face off for a good cause.  Here’s a glimpse of the magnetic energy that forms when artists come together to fight for a common goal.  Watch the video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CFuKJEqFCe-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Special thanks to Alicia Albright, Annalise Baker, Keely Beirne, Cajai Fellows Johnson, Colby Q Lindeman, Pierre Marais, Robin Masella, Elliott Mattox and Jesse Swimm   Learn more about your ad choices.

A couple of weeks ago, I talked with Gabe Johnson, a retired Marine who lives in downtown Portland, one block from the Justice Center. This week, he returns to give us an update. Gabe was given the opportunity to participate in a Town Hall on race in Portland with Mayor Ted Wheeler. He came away unimpressed. Gabe has also started a fundraising effort to help the chaplain service for the Portland Police. He’s gone from not believing the protests devolved into anarchy to believing Portland must use as much force as possible to sweep the riots off of our streets. Gabe tells us why the Portland Police need our support now more than ever. Go to www.ninelineapparel.com and search Stand for Justice. These are really cool shirts with a patriotic design, and a portion of the money goes directly to the Portland Police chaplain's fund to help police officers who have had to endure unbelievable stress during the downtown riots. My second interview is with Caleb Howard, a pharmacist in Lake County, Oregon. He tells me the hoops he’s had to jump through just to keep his pharmacy open under the OSHA-enforced COVID-19 guidelines, and how Kate Brown’s orders have forced him to either discriminate against disabled patrons, or close his doors and offer curbside pickup only. This is an important review of how the coronavirus lockdown orders have had serious unintended consequences.

This week I talked with Gabe Johnson, a retired Marine who lives in downtown Portland, one block from the Justice Center. He used to believe that antifa was a lie, and that the protests were peaceful – until he went down there to witness the riots for himself. Gabe is not a Trump supporter, but he is a patriotic American who believes that the US Flag should unite us, not divide us. He wanted to have a conversation with the protesters and find common ground, but had a rude awakening. He’s gone from not believing the protests devolved into anarchy to believing Portland must use as much force as possible to sweep the riots off of our streets. This is a must listen interview.

Shea Diamond has experienced so many facets of America as a black trans woman, and with songwriter Justin Tranter, she's woven those experiences into "I Am America," a blistering, funky anthem about community and belonging. Her track is also the theme song for the new HBO show "We're Here," which follows a team of a drag queens bringing drag shows to small towns across the country, challenging our assumptions about who makes up the "real America." We sit down with Diamond and Tranter to discuss singing as preaching, what it means to release this track during Pride month, why the flat seventh hits so good, and how the horns on the song feature producer Eren Cannata's dad Richie on sax, making this bop a true family affair.

This week I talked with Lindsey Graham. Not the Senator, but the salon owner in Salem who defied Kate Brown’s shut down orders and reopened her salon. I’ve written a few articles about Lindsey for PJ Media, including how the state sicced Child Protective Services on her in an effort to bully her into compliance. Lindsey gave me an update on all that’s been going on, her proposed lawsuit against the State of Oregon, and her new foundation. It’s a 501c3 called the Glamour Institute for Freedom.

My first interview this week is with Breeauna Sagdal, who is running against Ken Humberston for Clackamas County Commission. Bree has been a tireless advocate and activist in Oregon for several years. She’s been on the front lines of the Timber Unity movement, the medical freedom movement, 2ndAmendment defense, and the fight against such onerous fiscal policies as cap and trade. She has advocated for parental rights and against an ever increasing intrusion by government into family matters. She is running to bring sanity and ethics back to the Clackamas County Commission. We talked about the reasons she’s running, and the importance of her race for all of Oregon. You can find more information at www.votesgadal.com. The second interview this week is with … well … me. So many things have changed in our world since the last episode of Behind the Curtain. I wanted to take this segment to take stock and to talk about everything that’s happened since the world ground to a halt in March due to the Chinese Communist Party wreaked havoc on the world with its virus. I’ll discuss the virus itself, the massive economic lockdown that promises to cause at least as much damage as the virus itself, and how we can find our way out of this mess. I’ll also talk about the inevitability of an economic depression, and what you should be doing right now to prepare.

Lorraine represents the Immigration Reform Law Instistute, and Attorneys United for a Secure America. Lorraine was in town to address Oregonians for Immigration Reform, and sat down to talk to me about all the problems associated with illegal immigration. We discussed how illegal aliens often get treated better in America than citizens, the security problems associated with illegal immigration, and the need to secure our borders. She’s also recruiting immigration law attorneys to join the IRLI team. You can find more information at www.irli.org and www.ausamerica.org. The second interview this week is with the group of folks who brought you Slavic Vote, one of the largest voter registration movements the Pacific Northwest has ever seen. I talk to Dmitriy, Andrey, and Liliya about what brought them together, how the elders in the churches initially held out before jumping on board, and how they’re changing the electorate by fighting for family values and smaller government in the Russian and Slavic communities in the Pacific Northwest. They have also started a new podcast at anchor.fm/SlavicVote. You can find more information and links to their social media accounts at www.slavicvote.org.

This week’s episode goes a little longer than normal, because it is PACKED with content. The first segment this week features Brenden Dilley, a self help guru turned social media rock star who has been repeatedly deplatformed for his support of President Trump. Brenden says he has the formula for who gets targeted for deplatforming by social media companies, and how to beat them at their own game. Brenden wrote the book, Still Breathin’: The Wisdom and Teachings of a Perfectly Flawed Man in 2013, and currently hosts a daily show on Periscope called The Real Hub Life that draws tens of thousands of viewers daily. I’d tell you where to find him on Twitter, but he’s probably already had his account banned again. In Segment 2, I bring back a previous guest, Justin Brecht. Justin is a policy analyst for the Oregon Senate Republicans, and he came on the show to tell us all the bad bills that are coming in the short legislative session that starts on February 3. Remember, both houses have supermajorities of Democrats, so theoretically they should be able to pass whatever progressive mess they want. Will the Republicans be able to stop them again with a walkout, or will the Democrats change the rules so that the minority party can’t deny quorum? Justin tells us that and much more.

This was a very interesting episode to record. My first segment features two very good, long time friends in the center-right blogging world, while my second segment featured a speaker coming to Oregon to challenge our faith in Big Pharma. I’ve had some compelling conversations while recording this podcast, but this episode ranks as one of the most challenging. Segment One features a conversation with Bruce Carroll and Michelle Ray. I’ve known both for a decade, and count them among my closest friends in the conservatarian movement. They are both heavy users of Twitter, with massive followings. Well, they used to have massive followings, until they were deplatformed for no reason. We talk about their individual circumstances, the lack of consistency in terms of service among social media companies, and the larger picture of what social media has done to civic discourse. Michelle used to be known on Twitter as @galtsgirl, but now she’s @RagnarsMate. Bruce used to be @GayPatriot, but now he’s @AmericanHomoCon. Segment Two is a different kind of conversation. Brandy Vaughan is a former employee of Merck who has become a whistleblower fighting Big Pharma. Brandy challenges many widely held assumptions about vaccines, and pharmaceuticals in general. She founded the non-profit Learn the Risk to alert the public to things they probably don’t know about vaccines. She was in Portland lastweek to speak at an event organized by Oregonians for Medical Freedom. Like I said, this was a challenging conversation on a number of levels.

This week’s episode is a departure from my typical format. This episode will feature two sections dealing with international affairs. This past weekend, I attended the Platform Convention of the Oregon Republican Party in Pendleton. This weekend featured a votes to strengthen the Individual Liberty and Limited Government section to include medical freedom, bodily autonomy from conception to natural death, term limits on all elected and unelected public officials, a balanced budget amendment, and constitutional restraints on abuse of the commerce clause and the general welfare clause. All of these are unprecedented policy declarations in the history of the Oregon Republican Party. While we were there, we heard from three speakers on the current situation in China, and the protests in Hong Kong. These talks couldn’t have been more timely, as we watch the scene in Hong Kong play out on our newsfeeds each day, and as President Trump continues to try to formulate an effective plan to deal with China. My first guest is Steve Yates, former Deputy Security Director for Vice President Pence. Steve currently serves as the CEO of D.C. International Advisory, and is a frequent guest on Fox News. Yates is an expert on China, and talks to me about the tariffs, Trump’s tweet storm, and how we should deal with Xi Jing Peng, who has taken a much more hard line stance as Communist Party Leader. You can follow Steve on Twitter at @yatesdcia. My second segment features two lawmakers from Hong Kong, Dennis Kwok and Alvin Yeung. Dennis and Alvin sat down with me to talk about the protests in Hong Kong – why they’re happening, what they want from China, and what the international community can expect as an outcome. These protests are massive, and Dennis and Alvin break down why they’re happening. This is a riveting and important interview.

My first guest this week is my long time blogging buddy, Caleb Howe. I’ve always liked Caleb’s style of critiquing the mainstream media, a skill he’s parlayed into an editing position at Mediaite. He’s also a contributor at PJ Media, and a former editor at RedState. Caleb and I explore the state of media – both conservative and liberal. We also talk about bias problems in big tech and social media, and we talk about the 2020 democratic field. You can find Caleb on all the social medias, under the name Caleb Howe. Caleb stuck around for a bonus segment for our Patreon patrons, in which we break down the Eric Swalwell campaign. Oh, what might have been. This segment is available exclusively at patreon.com/BehindTheCurtainWithJeffReynolds. For a low monthly fee, you get lots of exclusive content you won’t find anywhere else. Plus, paid subscriptions allow me the resources to produce higher quality content. Please consider subscribing today. My local guest this week is a guy who may just end up permanently changing politics as we know it in Oregon and beyond. Loren Hutnick is a trucker who co-founded the #TimberUnity movement in Oregon. This movement grew from zero to over 40,000 members in a matter of weeks, as Oregonians involved in timber, trucking, resource extraction, and agricultural industries coalesced to kill the cap and trade bill. Loren talks about the huge growth of the movement, the junk science behind so-called environmental bills, his plans for his new Timber Unity organization, and how uniting Oregonians who have never before gotten involved in politics might just break the log-jam of decades of radical liberal control.

Hi, my name is Jeff Reynolds, and this is Episode 15 of the Behind the Curtain podcast. This week’s episodes ended up being a double shot of Oregon news, as much of what’s happening in Oregon has actually made national headlines. This week’s first guest is a hero to many Oregonians. A member of the #Oregon11, Senator Kim Thatcher experienced the nuttiest legislative session she’s ever seen in Salem. The story of the Republican walkout made national news as the Senators left the state in response to threats of arrest by Governor Kate Brown. She participated in two Republican walkouts to deny quorum so that no bills could be passed, in an attempt to get the Democrats to stop abusing their power. We talk about the walkouts, how they successfully killed several bad bills, and what to expect in the next legislative session. We also talk about two huge new grassroots movements that were spawned by bad legislation – the Slavic Activation movement to get more Eastern Europeans and Russians involved in the electoral process, and the Timber Unity movement that rose up to oppose cap and trade legislation. Each of these movements has the potential to bring thousands of new voters into Oregon politics where they have never previously participated. You can follow Senator Thatcher on twitter. at @KimThatcherGOP. Also, you really should check out slavicvote.org and the #TimberUnity group on Facebook. My local guest this week is my friend and former candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in Oregon, Greg Wooldridge. Greg is a Navy veteran who served three tours in command of the elite aerobatics team, the Blue Angels. Greg has developed a unique leadership training program that he’s introduced to Fortune 500 companies, teams, and other organizations to help them create an environment in which humility and excellence are promoted. Greg and I discuss how his leadership training can help Oregon Republicans overcome superminority status in Salem, and how Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Oregon Governor Kate Brown fail the most basic principles of leadership. This was a really fun discussion, and I think listeners will get a lot out of how he adapted what he learned about leadership in the military for use in the private sector.

I’m excited to return after many years and confront the liberal campus culture with real facts about who owns the Professional Left in America.

Celebrating Women: Created For Greatness. Our 6th annual celebration. In celebration of National Women's History Month our theme this year is similar to the national theme - "Trailblazers" Recognizing Women Who Are Leading The Way Professioanlly, Spiritually and Personally. Featured on the show today is Trailblazer Donna Hicks Izzard. Donna is best known as “CEOpreneur and Identity Strategist." Her work centers on giving individuals the tools they need to move forward in all aspects of their lives, including personal, career and business matters. She is the visionary and innovative CEO factory conference where aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs are given the tools to be successful in their businesses and The 3W Life System™ that teaches women to reclaim and verify their IDENTITY by learning WHOSE they are, WHO they are and WHY they are here. She will be teaching on "the P.I.T. WHISPERS." The P.I.T. WHISPERS refer to PURPOSE IDENTITY THEFT. Women have allowed the enemy to hack their minds by allowing satan to steal their IDENTITY and have allowed the volume of the voice of God to be turned down low, because the PIT WHISPERS have turned up high. Donna has authored two books, “Reclaiming Your Identity” and Walking in God's Master Plan.  She is a featured contributor in the “I AM AMERICA” cookbook along with Chef Jeff and Tavis Smiley. Many call Donna a “dynamo” because she seems to be constantly in motion and can often be found anywhere people need inspiration and motivation.

What would you ask an Ascended Master? In Sisters of the Flame, Lori Toye introduces the Ascended Masters and their I AM America teachings. In this session, we talk about cellular awakening, ascension, thinking with the heart, working with The Violet Flame and new energies impacting upon us at this pivotal point in our earth history.

Lori Toye is known for the I AM America maps. Given to her in a dream by four white robed teachers, the first map rolled out in 1989. Those teachers offered details of earth changes that could change the shape of the United States and the maps vary to spell out the range from minor to major surface alteration. The work didn't stop there. The teachers also offered instructions and advice on what we might do to avoid a worst case scenario. Emerging from a time of maintaining a low profile, Lori now has new information and a new map. Find out more on this edition of Conscious Living.
