Art Bell - Approaching Catastrophes - John Jay Harper
The origins and meaning of Thanksgiving, including President Washington's first national proclamation in 1789, and its historical significance. Peter shares his personal journey of recovery while doing a special neurological rehabilitation at the Aviv Clinic, where he has been receiving treatment for neurological injuries. The couple explores various topics, including Washington's leadership, the Bill of Rights, and their shared experiences of faith and gratitude, while reflecting on the importance of love, education, and the power of community support. Peter reads a proclamation from President Washington in 1789, which called for a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to acknowledge God's blessings, particularly the opportunity to establish a form of government. He also discussed the significance of the 1781 Yorktown victory, where Washington's combined American and French armies successfully blockaded and defeated the British under Cornwallis. Peter noted that the U.S. government was established as an independent nation in 1789, following the Jay Treaty in 1783, which was negotiated by John Jay to settle disputes with Britain. U.S. Bill of Rights Distinctions Peter discusses the unique nature of the Bill of Rights in the United States, emphasizing its role in protecting freedoms and distinguishing America from other countries with constitutions. He contrasted the U.S. Revolution with the French Revolution, highlighting the differences in leadership, particularly George Washington's decision not to establish a monarchy despite his significant influence. Peter also touched on Washington's retirement to Mount Vernon and his contemplation of liberating his slaves, noting the unusual nature of such a decision given the slaves' economic value. Journey of Love and Recovery Peter and Ginger shared their belief in a loving God, and Peter shared his personal journey of recovery after a stroke. He described his passion for redbud trees and his experience of opening his heart to love and joy, both in nature and in his relationship with his wife, Ginger. They also explored the concept of the subconscious as a metaphor for God's presence in our lives, concluding with reflections on the power of love and the importance of being open to receiving love. This week's episode became a sweet and spontaneous exchange of ideas between a couple who deeply appreciate and love each other.
From All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #081, part 2 - released December 3, 2025. When Laurel Hill Cemetery co-founder John Jay Smith died in 1881 at age 83, he left behind a significant legacy in Philadelphia's cultural and civic institutions. His obituary highlighted his diverse roles as librarian, editor, cemetery founder, and member of the Society of Friends, as well as his family lineage connected to other notable Philadelphia founders. Other accomplishments included introducing paper made from straw and inventing something that sounds suspiciously like the Book of the Month club a century before the real thing.

Newt discusses the life and contributions of John Jay, a pivotal figure in American history. Born in 1745 in New York City, Jay's early life was shaped by his family's quest for religious freedom and his education at King's College. Initially advocating for reconciliation with Britain, Jay's political journey saw him evolve into a staunch supporter of American independence. As a member of the Continental Congress, he contributed to the Olive Branch Petition and played a significant role in drafting the New York State Constitution. Jay's diplomatic efforts included serving as an ambassador to Spain and negotiating the controversial Jay's Treaty with Britain. His legal acumen was evident during his tenure as the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, notably in the Chisholm v. Georgia case. Jay's political career also included serving as the Governor of New York, where he enacted the gradual abolition of slavery. Despite facing challenges and controversies, Jay's legacy as a founding father is marked by his dedication to establishing a robust and balanced government, as reflected in his contributions to the Federalist Papers and his advocacy for the separation of powers. His life exemplifies the complexities and commitments of the early American statesmen in shaping the nation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
