The great lie of the Epstein scandal isn't just what he did, but how the powerful around him suddenly claimed they couldn't remember him at all. Presidents, princes, billionaires, academics, bankers, and celebrities who once courted his money and shared his jets all reached for the same script when the walls closed in: I barely knew him. It was a coordinated act of survival, not an accident. Institutions like Harvard, MIT, Deutsche Bank, and JP Morgan played the same game, pretending they never saw the red flags. Legacy media, instead of hammering the contradictions, often published these denials straight, allowing amnesia to masquerade as truth. Forgetting became strategy, and strategy became cover.But memory leaves evidence. Flight logs, photographs, donations, and testimonies remain, and every denial only underscores the complicity of those who looked away. The survivors don't get to forget; they live with scars while the powerful rewrite history. What the amnesia act reveals is cowardice: a willingness to erase reality to protect reputation. Epstein built his empire on memory, yet his circle tried to survive through erasure. In the end, their denials brand them more deeply than their associations ever could—because the attempt to forget is itself proof they remembered perfectly well.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

As Vicky Richardson argues in this talk, cultural institutions today stand at a crossroads. Once dedicated to excellence, artistic achievement, and the preservation of tradition, they are now paralysed by fear. Leadership teams are more concerned with ideological positioning than curatorial expertise, and in their attempts to reframe institutions as platforms for political debate, they risk alienating both their audiences and their own staff. This talk explores the roots of the crisis facing our museums and galleries. Institutions must be held to higher standards—before they destroy themselves.

Following a successful pilot program at 30 colleges and universities in the U.S., MathGPT.ai is preparing to nearly double its availability this fall, with hundreds of instructors planning to incorporate the tool. Schools implementing MathGPT.ai in their classrooms include Penn State University, Tufts University, and Liberty University, among others.  In other news, an overly broad age assurance law in Mississippi is leading to arguments about which platforms — Bluesky, Mastodon, or others — offer the best solution for avoiding crackdowns on internet freedoms. The company that makes the Bluesky social app announced last week that it would block access to its service in the state of Mississippi, rather than comply with the new age verification law.

Political economist Chenggang Xu grew up amid the upheaval of China's Cultural Revolution and in the 1970s was beaten, imprisoned, and subjected to years of forced labor by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).Today, he is a senior research scholar at the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and author of the new book, “Institutional Genes: Origins of China's Institutions and Totalitarianism.”For decades, Beijing has repeatedly deceived the world about its true intentions, Xu says. So why do we keep falling for it?In this episode, we dive into the origins of the Chinese Communist Party and why Xu believes its model of totalitarianism is distinct from any other regime today.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Jeff and Michael are joined by Mushtaq Gunja, Executive Director of the Carnegie Classification Systems and Senior Vice President at ACE, to unpack the sweeping changes to the Carnegie Classifications. They explore how the new system aims to better group institutions, highlight student access and earnings, and shift incentives across funding, accountability, and rankings. The conversation dives into the implications for colleges chasing R1 status, the normative power of classifications, and whether these changes will meaningfully alter institutional behavior or simply create a new hierarchy.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with two longtime friends of the podcast: Osahon Obazuaye, pastor and activist, and Grant Young, who holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees from one of America's leading evangelical universities. Both of them bring firsthand experience as Black men navigating predominantly white evangelical spaces—churches, classrooms, and institutions that shaped their faith journeys in both inspiring and challenging ways.We discuss the powerful new documentary, “Black + Evangelical”—a film that shines a spotlight on the history, struggles, and contributions of African American evangelicals. The documentary amplifies voices that too often go unheard, voices like Dr. Vincent Bacote, theologian and ethicist at Wheaton College; the late Dr. William E. Pannell, co-founder of the National Black Evangelical Association; historian and author Jemar Tisby; and the unforgettable preacher Tom Skinner, whose Urbana '70 sermon still resonates today. We even revisit the legacy of Howard O. Jones, the first Black associate evangelist with Billy Graham.This conversation is eye-opening, personal, and at times raw—but it's also deeply hopeful. We unpack the film, share stories, and challenge assumptions about what it really means to be both Black and evangelical in America.So join us —you'll come away inspired, challenged, and ready for more.Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

"The way that institutions emerge and entrench themselves and become a part of the functioning of an economy and society is because they solve some problems. So they're usually a non-market solution toward solving some problem that the economy, that the market system couldn't necessarily solve. Of course the most prominent example of an institution that solves an. Market problem in the non-market way is a firm, as Ronald Coase, of course very early on, taught us that. When a firm realizes that in some cases when transactions costs are high, you want to internalize things within the firm. That the firm is itself an institution. But these other social political institutions, they also exist to resolve some problem. And once they resolve that problem and they're resolving it adequately, then it becomes really hard to bring about change. So the institution solves a problem. So to be clear, it is better than in the absence of the institution, but it also means that without somehow breaking this institution or having some crisis that leads you to substantially reform the institution, you are going to be stuck at a suboptimal equilibrium." - Jamus Lim, author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" Fresh out of the studio, Associate Professor Jamus Lim from ESSEC Business School and author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" joined us in a comprehensive exploration of the economic foundations shaping Asia's remarkable rise. Jamus shared his story on how the Asian Financial Crisis sparked his passion for macroeconomics and development. He unpacked the critical yet often overlooked role of geography, history, and institutional frameworks in explaining Asia's immense economic diversity, arguing that abstract economic models fail to capture the real-world complexities driving regional development. Through deep dives into China's demographic transition and export-driven challenges, South Korea's state-led chaebol industrialization model, and Japan's historic shift from deflation to inflation, Jamus demonstrated how colonial legacies and historical persistence continue to shape modern economic structures across the continent. Throughout the conversation, he revealed why China's middle-income trap escape depends on building domestic consumption to absorb its massive manufacturing capacity, explained how institutional solutions that once solved problems can become growth constraints, and argued that understanding Asia's past is essential for navigating its economic future in an increasingly complex global landscape.

When you think about making a Kingdom impact, your checking or savings account probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But what if it should be?Most of us view our bank account as a simple holding place for our money—a safe spot until we're ready to spend, give, or invest. However, the truth is that your money is never truly at rest. Banks utilize those deposits daily to fund loans, support business ventures, and invest in various projects. That's standard practice. But here's the exciting part: you can actually choose a banking institution that uses your money to support Kingdom work.Let's unpack how your everyday banking decisions could be part of something far bigger than you imagined.Banking That Builds the KingdomWhen you bank with a faith-based financial institution—one that's intentionally aligned with biblical stewardship—you allow your money to participate in Kingdom work, even when you're not actively spending or giving. Your checking account. Your savings. Even your emergency fund. All of it can be part of something bigger.Imagine this:A pastor receives a home loan.A new Christian school opens in an underserved community.A clean water project is funded overseas.And all of it is quietly supported by everyday people like you, simply choosing to bank where their values are reflected.That's the vision behind Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU)—a trusted partner of Faith & Finance. CCCU offers all the modern banking tools you'd expect: online access, mobile apps, competitive rates, and more. But their mission is different. It's rooted in biblical stewardship.When you open an account with CCCU, your deposits don't just sit—they serve. Since its founding, CCCU has helped fund:Church construction and renovationsMinistry and mission expansionsAffordable housing and clean water projectsLoans for pastors, missionaries, and Christian organizationsAnd they've donated more than $6.5 million to Kingdom causes around the world.Small Deposits, Big ImpactYou might be thinking, “That's great—but I don't have a lot in savings. Would it really make a difference?”Absolutely. In God's Kingdom, impact isn't measured by dollar amounts—it's measured by faithfulness.Remember the boy in John 6 who brought five loaves and two fish? It seemed small. But in the hands of Jesus, it fed more than 5,000. The same principle applies here: when you offer what you have—however modest—it becomes part of something miraculous. Banking with CCCU is a way to say, “Lord, use even this for your glory.”At Faith & Finance, we frequently discuss how we earn, give, and spend. But there's a space in between—where your money simply rests. And even that space matters.Because while your money is sitting, it's still doing something. The question is: what is it doing? Is it funding what you believe in—or what you don't? Aligning your bank account with your faith is a practical, quiet form of stewardship. It doesn't require financial expertise—just a desire to honor God in every area of your life.Ready to Take the Next Step?If you're looking for a simple yet meaningful way to bring your money into greater alignment with your faith, Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) is a great place to start.They offer:Full-service bankingCompetitive productsA clear commitment to biblical valuesReal-world impact for the gospelTo learn more or open an account, visit: FaithFi.com/Banking.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Paul Spencer about the intersection of AI and astrology, the balance of fate and free will, and how embodiment shapes human experience in time and space. They explore cultural shifts since 2020, the fading influence of institutions, the “patchwork age” of decentralized communities, and the contrasts between solar punk and cyberpunk visions for the future. Paul shares his perspective on America's evolving role, the symbolism of the Aquarian Age, and why philosophical, creative, and practical adaptability will be essential in the years ahead. You can connect with Paul and explore more of his work and writings at zeitvillemedia.substack.com, or find him as @ZeitvilleMedia on Twitter and You Tube.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop and Paul Spencer open with a discussion on AI and astrology, exploring fate versus free will and how human embodiment shapes the way we move through time and space.05:00 Paul contrasts the human timeline, marked by death, with AI's lack of finality, bringing in Brian Johnson's transhumanism and the need for biological embodiment for true AI utility.10:00 They explore how labor, trade, food, and procreation anchor human life, connecting these to the philosophical experience of space and time.15:00 Nietzsche and Bergson's ideas on life force, music, and tactile philosophy are discussed as alternatives to detached Enlightenment thinking.20:00 The conversation shifts to social media's manipulation, institutional decay after 2020, and the absence of an “all clear” moment.25:00 They reflect on the chaotic zeitgeist, nostalgia for 2021's openness, and people faking cultural cohesion.30:00 Paul uses Seinfeld as an example of shared codes, contrasting it with post-woke irony and drifting expectations.35:00 Pluto in Aquarius and astrological energies frame a shift from heaviness to a delirious cultural mood.40:00 Emotional UBI and the risks of avoiding emotional work lead into thoughts on America's patchwork future.45:00 They explore homesteading, raw milk as a cultural symbol, and the tension between consumerism and alternative visions like solar punk and cyberpunk.50:00 Paul highlights the need for cross-tribal diplomacy, the reality of the surveillance state, and the Aquarian Age's promise of decentralized solutions.Key InsightsPaul Spencer frames astrology as a way to understand the interplay of fate and free will within the embodied human experience, emphasizing that humans are unique in their awareness of time and mortality, which gives life story and meaning.He argues that AI, while useful for shifting perspectives, lacks “skin in the game” because it has no embodiment or death, and therefore cannot fully grasp or participate in the human condition unless integrated into biological or cybernetic systems.The conversation contrasts human perception of space and time, drawing from philosophers like Nietzsche and Bergson who sought to return philosophy to the body through music, dance, and tactile experiences, challenging abstract, purely cerebral approaches.Post-2020 culture is described as a “patchwork age” without a cohesive zeitgeist, where people often “fake it” through thin veneers of social codes. This shift, combined with Pluto's move into Aquarius, has replaced the heaviness of previous years with a chaotic, often giddy nihilism.America is seen as the primary arena for the patchwork age due to its pioneering, experimental spirit, with regional entrepreneurship and cultural biodiversity offering potential for renewal, even as nostalgia for past unity and imperial confidence lingers.Tensions between “solar punk” and “cyberpunk” visions highlight the need for cross-tribal diplomacy—connecting environmentalist, primitivist, and high-tech decentralist communities—because no single approach will be sufficient to navigate accelerating change.The Aquarian Age, following the Piscean Age in the procession of the equinoxes, signals a movement from centralized, hypnotic mass programming toward decentralized, engineering-focused solutions, where individuals must focus on building beauty and resilience in their own worlds rather than being consumed by “they” narratives.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're joined by Dr. Lisa Wade, a sociologist, assistant professor at Tulane University, and the author of the landmark book American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus.  Her groundbreaking research draws from the intimate, real voices of college students and reveals that hookup culture isn't just about casual sex—it's a social system with its own rules, hierarchies, and pressures. We'll explore how this culture took hold and the surprising ways it shapes how we all date and connect cuz we all know hookup culture isn't limited to the college campus. We'll also look at trends, like why Gen-Z is having less sex than previous generations, how gender and power dynamics still influence intimacy, and what might be replacing the hookup script. So whether you've lived through hookup culture, opted out entirely, or are curious about how it's evolving today—this is a conversation about desire, connection, and the cultural forces that shape both.

We continue our series about analyzing the gurus! We'll be spending time discussing several big personal finance names, their recommendations, and why we do or do not agree with those. Josh and Amelie discuss Robert Kiyosaki, his philosophy of creating assets to generate money, leverage debt to create these assets, and his beliefs about formal education and savings. Top takeaways: With any financial celebrity, watch out for business ecosystems designed to get more money from you. Choosing not to work for a company (aka “the man”) may limit loan funding options and will impact the terms of a loan, ultimately impacting your ability to get low cost debt. There is nearly always some of your time required for passive income sources (e.g., real estate), even if you're paying someone else to manage it. The more passive an investment is, the less income you're likely getting from it. A primary residence is a non-performing asset, which builds your wealth but not as fast as a rental property. Putting a property into an LLC doesn't eliminate all the risk with owning that asset. The biggest risk with owning rental real estate is likely created when you borrow money to purchase the property. Oversimplification of the complexities and risk associated with real estate investments, coupled with overstating the potential return, often come from the “experts” who are trying to sell their own educational products. There is a lot of value in formal education. A real estate education from a community college includes valuable information that will help learn how to invest in real estate. Having a large savings account allows you to step further out on the risk spectrum. Institutions (e.g., banks, investment companies) are watched and controlled by regulators (e.g., SEC, state regulators) to protect the investors. Buying a house doesn't have these same rigorous regulations.

Navigating Pandemonium: How Faith-Driven Entrepreneurs Can Rebuild Trust in a Broken WorldJoin host Justin Forman for a compelling conversation with Andy Crouch, bestselling author and senior fellow at Praxis, about the cultural moment we find ourselves in—one he describes as "pandemonium." In this thought-provoking episode, Andy unpacks why institutional trust has collapsed, what it means for entrepreneurs, and how the church's calling to serve offers a pathway forward.Drawing from his deep understanding of cultural dynamics and three-generation rebuilding cycles, Andy reveals why small businesses and the military are the only institutions maintaining trust above 50%—and what that means for Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs navigating uncertain times.Key Topics:Why our current moment is best described as "pandemonium" rather than chaosThe collapse of prestige hierarchies and rise of dominance-based leadershipHow COVID accelerated institutional trust erosion that was decades in the makingThe three-generation cycle of cultural rebuilding (lessons from Genesis)Why small businesses maintain high trust levels while other institutions failJesus's radical alternative to both dominance and prestige hierarchiesPractical strategies for lean, mission-focused entrepreneurship in uncertain timesNotable Quotes:"Institutionalism is when the actual mission of the institution becomes less important than just protecting the institution itself. You go off mission, and your mission becomes just protect our thing." - Andy Crouch"In the kingdom of God, anyone can be great because anyone can serve." - Andy Crouch (quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)"If you aim for community, sometimes you get community, but rarely do, but if you aim for mission, oftentimes community is just a natural byproduct, and you're probably gonna get mission too." - Justin FormanAndy Crouch is a bestselling author, cultural commentator, and senior fellow at Praxis. His books include "Culture Making," "Strong and Weak," and "The Tech-Wise Family." He brings decades of experience analyzing cultural shifts and helping leaders navigate complex societal changes with wisdom and faith.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Allan Paul Roberts. He's the author of the explosive new book The Globalist Plan to Collapse Everything: To Usher in a New World Order. There's a growing sense that something is wrong. People feel it in their daily lives. What once felt solid is now uncertain. The systems we depended on are cracking. Trust in leadership is fading. Institutions that once offered stability are now met with silence, confusion, or suspicion. Allan Paul Roberts has spent months researching what lies behind this unraveling. He shares evidence that points to a coordinated effort to break down the pillars that hold society together. He outlines how power is being centralized, how freedoms are being traded for control, and how silence is being used as a weapon. He breaks it down to eleven collapse points. These include borders, finance, food, education, energy, faith, and others. He shows how they connect. He names the players, quotes their words, and tracks their moves. He shares what he believes is coming next. He also brings clarity and direction. He explains how individuals and communities can respond with purpose and preparation. He shows how to stay rooted when everything around you feels like it's shifting. He speaks plainly, without panic, and focuses on what can be done now. If you've felt that the world is changing and no one is naming what's happening, you'll want to hear this.

August 8, 2025; 6pm: President Trump and Republicans are facing new heat as voters demand answers at a raucous Nebraska town hall with Republican Congressman Mike Flood, and Democrats accuse Trump of distracting from Epstein by targeting perceived enemies.

As Trump came back to the presidency, one of the first warnings liberals began repeating was “Do not obey in advance.” But from government-agency heads to university presidents to news organizations, people are opting to simply leave their jobs, rather than do the uncomfortable work of standing up to authoritarianism.  Guest:  Jonathan Last, editor of The Bulwark.
