I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! – @realDonaldTrump (Apr 07, 2026, 6:06 AM) Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

In 1513, Juan Ponce de Leon led the first European expedition to what is now Florida. Legend has it (though historians now doubt) he was in search of the mythical “Fountain of Youth”, a supposed magical spring believed to grant immortality to those who drink from it. Perhaps just as legendary are fictional tales like Tuck Everlasting, The Mummy, and of course Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, all of which share this theme of a mortal's quest for eternal longevity. But God has made such searches superfluous by showing us exactly how to “live long and prosper”: “You shall keep [God's] whole commandment… that you may live long in the land that the Lord swore to you” (Dt 11:8-9). Obey the Lord, and we will be blessed; disobey, and we'll be cursed (“you will perish quickly”; 11:17). But where does that leave sinful people like us? Join us for this sermon as we're reminded of God's remedy for our sin problem, and worship Him in response!
Departing from Puerto Rico with grand plans to establish a new colony, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León set out on his ill-fated second expedition to Florida on February 20th, 1521. Ponce de León's reputation as a conquistador preceded him, with tales of his brutal conquests in Hispaniola preceding his quest for new lands. Despite being ousted from power by his rival Diego Columbus, Ponce de León received a charter from King Ferdinand to explore and govern distant territories. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal why de León named his ‘discovery' "Florida"; explain why the ‘tree of death' played a pivotal part in his downfall; and discover where those ‘Fountain of Youth' rumours came from… Further Reading: • ‘Ponce de Leon: Florida & Fountain of Youth' (HISTORY, 2009): https://www.history.com/topics/exploration/juan-ponce-de-leon • ‘Ponce De Leon Never Searched for the Fountain of Youth' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2013): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ponce-de-leon-never-searched-for-the-fountain-of-youth-72629888/ ‘Juan Ponce de León: Meet the Spanish explorer who discovered Florida' (10 Tampa Bay, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-BjLdHerRk We'll be back on Monday - unless you join CLUB RETROSPECTORS, where we give you ad-free listening AND a full-length Sunday episode every week!Plus, weekly bonus content, unlock over 70 bonus bits, and support our independent podcast.Join now via Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

But everyone woke up to unexpected news: the statue of the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in Old San Juan had been toppled.

Today, we bring you the first episode of the newest season of La Brega, a podcast from our own Futuro Studio. This season looks at Puerto Rico through the people who represent boricuas and asks: What does it take to champion Puerto Rico? Original episode art by Tania M. González.

We were recently reminded that we haven't done a conquistador type dude in a while, so here's one who's famous for the dumbest reason instead of for all the shit he actually did in his life! Juan Ponce de Leon got off to a rough start as a conquering Spaniard. But he righted that ship pretty fast and soon became a scourge to the natives. Yea, they leave a lot of that part out of his story when they tell you about him in school. Anyway, this guy sucked as a person, but his story is dope, outside the crimes against humanity. Enjoy!

Over five centuries ago, fabled conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon became the first European to place his espadrille on North American soil... yet it would take three more of those centuries the steamy, sunny peninsula he claimed would be host to any permanent European society. Florida was thus the first American state to be explored, yet the last to be settled. Colonial Florida presents a compelling question: what goes on here? The answer involves fisher-kings and filibusters, pirates and planters, Muscogees and Maroons, and many, many eccentric Florida Men. Liam and Russian Sam are joined once again by Jackson (@GraceCthdralPrk) for the first in a series on the Sunshine State — probably the most peripheral of the Lower 48, yet fundamental to American history, from the unsteady beginnings of colonialism to the ravages of Andrew Jackson and eventually the 20th-century triumph of air conditioning, swamp-draining and beachfront real estate. This episode of Gladio Free Europe examines Florida in its long early days as a permanent borderland, a place contested by shifting configurations of European authority who never had more than nominal control over its swampy ground. This unique situation allowed Native American states to have longstanding levels of autonomy, from the Calusa kingdoms of the 16th century to the multiethnic Creek and Seminole confederations of the 19th. Although Florida would experience major political and demographic changes from 1513 to 1821, it would remain the eternal frontier. From Ponce de Leon through Andrew Jackson, no conquistador could fully quash Native resistance, and all colonizers had to afford legal rights and human dignity to the large numbers of free people of color residing in Florida. Though Europeans quickly found there was no fountain of youth and no cities of gold, rumors of exotic riches and fruitful soil continued to inspire generations of swindlers and swashbucklers. Join Gladio Free Europe to see how all of these factors contribute to the myth-making of the Sunshine State, the most desired and most disreputable appendage to America.Ending music is Harden Stuckey's "The River St. Johns" as performed by Jake Xerxes Fussell. The diva in the episode art is the Key Marco Cat, a timeless icon of Calusa craftsmanship.
“Misterios en Viernes” da la bienvenida a sus oyentes a una nueva entrega donde, bajo el título “Sorteando a la Muerte”, Miguel Ángel y Sheila indagan en la eterna pugna del ser humano contra su fin inevitable. A lo largo del programa, reflexionan sobre cómo cada día que vivimos es, en cierto modo, un desafío más a la Parca, desde las pequeñas acciones cotidianas —cruzar una calle, sortear una maceta que amenaza con caer— hasta las hazañas más arriesgadas que imponen al cuerpo un continuo ansia de adrenalina. El hilo conductor arranca con la fábula persa del criado que vio a la Muerte en el mercado de Bagdad y huyó precipitadamente, solo para descubrir que el destino lo aguardaba en el lugar al que escapaba. De ahí se transita a las leyendas urbanas modernas —esa advertencia a no salir de casa por miedo a un camión que, paradójicamente, mata a quien decide encerrarse— y a los deportes extremos, narrados a través de la vida de Travis Pastrana, quien buscó una y otra vez el vértigo como ejercicio de provocación contra la muerte. Sheila y Miguel Ángel amplían el espectro hacia la dimensión mítica de la inmortalidad: desde la búsqueda de la fuente de la eterna juventud por Alejandro Magno o Juan Ponce de León, hasta el néctar divino amrita de la mitología hindú y los elixires de oro y mercurio concebidos por los alquimistas medievales. Nos recuerdan que, mientras unos confiaron en rituales de momificación en Egipto o en la alquimia externa de los emperadores chinos, otros imaginaron un cuerpo interno inmortal gracias a prácticas respiratorias y dietéticas que trascendían lo corpóreo. El programa incorpora además un relato autóctono de Altea, donde una anciana logra retener a la Muerte en un peral gracias a su fe y a una astuta negociación. A continuación, se aborda el concepto de pseudocidio: fingir la propia muerte para eludir responsabilidades o reinventarse, con las implicaciones legales que explica el abogado Ricardo Díez. A través de un caso hipotético de desaparición y reaparecimiento en Punta Cana, se evidencian los vacíos o incongruencias del Código Penal español ante este engaño. Para cerrar, los presentadores comparan la figura de Sísifo —eterno condenado a subir una piedra solo para verla caer— con nuestra rutina diaria y evocan cómo la Muerte, lejos de ser un ente lejano, nos acompaña en cada decisión. Con un sutil toque de humor y referencias a la Cultura Pop —de Up! a Thanos en el Universo Marvel—, invitan al oyente a acompañarlos en este viaje donde, pese a toda lucha y engaño, la Parca siempre halla el modo de cobrarse su presa. https://www.edenex.es

Lori Matthias and her husband had tired of Atlanta traffic when they moved to St. Augustine, Florida, in 2023. For Mike Waldron and his wife, moving from the Boston area in 2020 to a place that bills itself as "the nation's oldest city" was motivated by a desire to be closer to their adult children. They were among thousands of white-collar remote workers who migrated to the St. Augustine area in recent years, transforming the touristy beach town into one of the top remote work hubs in the United States. Matthias fell in love with St. Augustine's small-town feeling, trading the hour-long commute she had in Atlanta for bumping into friends and acquaintances while running errands. "The whole pace here is slower and I'm attracted to that," said Matthias, who does sales and marketing for a power tool company. "My commute is like 30 steps from my kitchen to my office. It's just different. It's just relaxed and friendly." Centuries before becoming a remote work hub, the St. Augustine area was claimed by the Spanish crown in the early 16th century after explorer Juan Ponce de Leon's arrival. In modern times, it is best known for its Spanish architecture of terra cotta roofs and arched doorways, tourist-carrying trolleys, a historic fort, an alligator farm, lighthouses and a shipwreck museum. In St. Johns County, home to St. Augustine, the percentage of workers who did their jobs from home nearly tripled from 8.6% in 2018 to almost 24% in 2023, moving the Northeast Florida county into the top ranks of U.S. counties with the largest share of people working remotely, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures. Scott Maynard, a vice president of economic development for the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce, attributes the initial influx of new residents to Florida's lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in businesses and schools in the fall of 2020 while much of the country remained locked down. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
I am very excited about the series we are starting today. In every episode, I state my goal: to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the end. I want to focus more on these simple topics this year, and we're starting with the "long" part. Living a long life has been a common desire as long as humans have inhabited Earth. Though its origins are much earlier, since the 16th century and the travels of Juan Ponce de Leon, the legend of the Fountain of Youth has been a symbol of this longing for immortality. And though no one we know of has found the legendary waters, modern medicine is still looking for its metaphorical equivalent. Many questions need to be asked when considering this topic, such as: - How do we define life? - Why do I want a longer life? - What is the price I will pay, financially, physically, or physically? - What are the moral effects? - What is the procedure? Will it hurt? - What would I do with all the extra time I would have? Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/388
Efter att Columbus upptäckt Amerika vidtog en av de både blodigaste och viktigaste upptäckar- och erövringsfaserna i världshistorien. Spanska erövrare – conquistadorer – for runt i Västindien på lika nyfikna som brutala plundringsresor, för att i nästa skede börja kriga och kolonisera på det amerikanska fastlandet.Historien om conquistadorerna rymmer många spännande episoder, vilka fick världshistoriska konsekvenser. Spanjorerna erövrade två stora imperier, aztekriket i Mexiko och inkariket i Peru, samtidigt som de lade under sig de västindiska öarna och Centralamerika. Allra mest fascinerande är dock de veritabla odysséer som inte resulterade i kolonier men väl i geografiska upptäckter.Juan Ponce de Léon, Francisco de Coronado och Hernando de Soto hittade inget guld, men de kartlade betydande delar av nuvarande södra USA. Historien om conquistadorerna är också historien om det största ofrivilliga folkmordet vi känner till, eftersom miljoner amerikanska urinvånare sveptes bort av epidemier som spanjorerna förde med sig, till exempel smittkoppor och mässling. Endast på en punkt slog Amerika tillbaka inom farsoternas domäner: syfilis. Före 1492 existerade inte sjukdomen i Europa. Den var en strikt amerikansk angelägenhet, men conquistadorernas sexualvanor ledde till att den fort spred sig till Europa.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om de spanska conquistadorerna, de upptäckare och erövrare som lade Nya världen för sina fötter.Bild: Hernando de Soto och spanska conquistadorer ser Mississippifloden för första gången.

Most people commemorate Thanksgiving today, and all things associated with this holiday. There will be some celebrating family, some marking the day with food, and some praying at the altar of football. Some will be remembering the Pilgrims, and the earliest arrival of Europeans bringing colonists and their livestock to North America. NOT!Stephen Monroe schools us on a common misconception about the domestic animals that were truly the first to be brought here to the Americas. Which livestock breeds beat the Mayflower across the Atlantic? What we currently call the “Spanish Colonial” horses were just one group, and the hardy and adaptable Florida Cracker Horse was a derivative breed of this impactful importation. Horses, cattle, chickens and goats - and they arrived 100 years before the big wooden boat we celebrate today.But don't forget – the Spanish brought the pigs in then, too, so football is truly appropriate. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.Links:https://themayflowersociety.org/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056085/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Cracker_Horsehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Marsh_Tacky#Historyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banker_horse#Breed_historyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Ponce_de_Le%C3%B3nhttps://www.history.com/topics/exploration/juan-ponce-de-leonhttps://www.fdacs.gov/https://floridacrackerhorseassociation.com/Support the show
Juan Ponce de León is more famous today for the myths that surround him rather than the man that he was. Living in a brutal time, hot on the heels of the Reconquista and the voyages of Christopher Columbus, de León will leave a mark on the island of Puerto Rico and plant the seed for Spanish Florida. A life of high risk, high reward, violent behavior that will not make de León a modern man, but will make him a household name in the modern world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/osoa/support
En el Parlamento sigue abierta la discusión sobre regular o no la eutanasia. Un proyecto de ley, presentado hace cuatro años por el diputado colorado Ope Pasquet, fue aprobado en la Cámara de Representantes pero quedó estancado en el Senado. Y todo indica que ya no tendrá novedades en este período de gobierno. Con ese telón de fondo acaba de estrenarse un documental que aporta nuevos elementos para la reflexión sobre la vida y el proceso de morir. La película se titula “Hay una puerta ahí”, fue realizada por Mueca Films y está basada en un caso concreto de nuestro país, el del contador Fernando Sureda. Sureda padecía Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA), una enfermedad neurológica degenerativa sin cura que va dañando todas las funciones motoras del cuerpo. Por eso en 2019 decidió que no quería una muerte lenta sino, cuanto antes, una “muerte digna” e inició una campaña para que el sistema político legalizara la eutanasia. Fue aquella prédica la que motivó a Pasquet a redactar su proyecto. Pero poco después Sureda conoció al médico español Enric Benito, quien, a lo largo de varias charlas a distancia, fue convenciéndolo de que para llegar al final de su vida optara por los cuidados paliativos. Y así ocurrió. De esa manera falleció. Precisamente, el documental muestra la relación que Sureda y Benito construyeron a lo largo de nueve meses, en medio de la pandemia, través de whatsapp, correos electrónicos y, sobre todo, videollamadas. En ese interrcambio conversaban sobre cómo sobrellevar una enfermedad terminal, el papel de los seres queridos, el peso de las ideas y las creencias, la vida y la aceptación del dolor y la muerte. En noviembre de 2022 entrevistamos aquí En Perspectiva al doctor Benito, cuando vino a Uruguay a conocer personalmente a la familia de Sureda. Así evocaba él lo que había observado en su amigo. Así recordaba aquella experiencia: "Fernando se fue como un señor, diciendo estoy en paz y dándole las gracias a los que me cuidaron. Ese hombre hizo un viaje maravilloso desde la resistencia y la lucha. Era un tipo muy inteligente y muy buena persona. Me conmovió cuando lo conocí. Ese viaje es la demostración de que es posible. La historia de Fernando es la encarnación de lo pretendido. Es la demostración de que se puede cambiar la historia y el relato siempre que hay alguien que entienda cómo se hace". Ahora que la película está en cartel volvemos sobre la historia de Sureda y cómo el film puede impactar en la discusión sobre la ley de eutanasia pendiente. Para eso conversamos En Perspectiva a Juan Ponce De León, director de la película junto a su hermano Facundo, Inés Aldecoa, viuda de Fernando Sureda, y Salvador Sureda, su hijo.
Today's episode features: Juan Ponce de Leon, Conquistador Sponsored by 2 Complicated 4 History Produced by Primary Source Media
Décadas antes de que llegasen los colonos de Mayflower a las costas de Nueva Inglaterra, el territorio de lo que hoy son los Estados Unidos de América fue objeto de una exploración muy intensa por parte de numerosas expediciones españolas. Unas se enviaron desde Cuba y Santo Domingo para explorar y conquistar nuevos territorios al norte del Caribe. Otras fueron encargos realizados por el virrey de Nueva España para cartografiar el norte del virreinato y extender sus límites. No fue, como a menudo se piensa, algo tardío y provocado por la llegada de otras potencias europeas a América, el interés de los españoles del siglo XVI por Norteamérica fue constante desde los viajes de Colón. El mismo descubridor de la Florida, Juan Ponce de León, iba a bordo de una de las naves en el segundo viaje de Cristóbal Colón a las Indias en 1493. Años más tarde Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca recorrió todo el sur de Estados Unidos desde la Florida hasta Arizona. Siguiendo sus pasos Francisco Vázquez de Coronado se internó en Nuevo México, Texas, Oklahoma y Kansas. Fue en ese viaje cuando otro explorador, García López de Cárdenas, se encontró con el gran cañón del Colorado. En la misma época Hernando de Soto emprendió una ambiciosa expedición en Florida que le llevaría hacia el norte por los actuales Estados de Georgia, Carolina del Sur y Tennessee. Cruzó los Apalaches y recorrió el valle del Misisipi atravesando Alabama, Arkansas y Luisiana. La idea de los virreyes de Nueva España era encontrar un paso al norte, una vía marítima que permitiese pasar del Atlántico al Pacífico, sin necesidad de circunnavegar el continente por el sur en un largo y penoso viaje que consumía demasiado tiempo. Pero Norteamérica era mucho más extensa y salvaje de lo que se imaginaban. Eso no fue obstáculo para que estos primeros exploradores levantasen mapas muy precisos de los accidentes geográficos que se iban encontrando y de las gentes que poblaban aquellas tierras. También procedieron a fundar nuevas ciudades que hoy son, con diferencia, las más antiguas de Estados Unidos. La decana de todas ellas es San Agustín, en Florida, fundada por Pedro Menéndez de Avilés en 1565, más de medio siglo antes que Plymouth en Massachussets. Para protegerla levantaron una fortaleza que es monumento nacional en Estados Unidos y cuya conservación es excelente. Unos años después, en 1610, Pedro de Peralta fundó Santa Fe, hoy capital de Nuevo México. En Santa Fe se encuentra la iglesia más antigua de Estados Unidos, la de San Miguel, en la que aún se sigue diciendo misma todos los domingos. Pero, a pesar de todos sus esfuerzos, los virreyes no encontraban el paso del norte. Ya en el siglo XVIII empezaron a explorar los confines occidentales de Norteamérica, lo que hoy se conoce como California. Las costas eran conocidas desde el siglo XVI gracias a expediciones como la de Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo o Sebastián Vizcaíno, pero el interior no se exploró hasta el reinado de Carlos III cuando Gaspar de Portolá penetró en la región fundando misiones de las que luego brotarían ciudades. La primera fue la de San Diego, más tarde vendrían la de Santa Bárbara, San Francisco y la de San Gabriel, junto a la que surgiría la ciudad de Los Ángeles. Aquello coincidió con el papel decisivo que españoles como Bernardo de Gálvez, gobernador de la Luisiana, desempeñaron en la guerra de independencia de Estados Unidos. Tras su independencia, México incorporó buena parte de los actuales Estados de California, Texas, Arizona, Nuevo México, Colorado y Nevada. La Florida permanecería en manos españolas hasta que en 1819 Fernando VII se la vendió a Estados Unidos. De la dilatada presencia española en los actuales Estados Unidos da fe inequívoca la toponimia, pero, a pesar de ello, no es muy conocida ni en Estados Unidos ni en España. En los últimos años se han publicado algunos libros y se ha realizado cierto esfuerzo por divulgar esa parte de la historia compartida entre estadounidenses e hispanos. Para hablar de ella tenemos hoy en La ContraHistoria a Carlos Pérez Simancas, nuestro corresponsal en Canarias, que siente fascinación por aquella gesta tan sorprendente como sostenida en el tiempo.

Departing from Puerto Rico with grand plans to establish a new colony, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León set out on his ill-fated second expedition to Florida on February 15th, 1521. Ponce de León's reputation as a conquistador preceded him, with tales of his brutal conquests in Hispaniola preceding his quest for new lands. Despite being ousted from power by his rival Diego Columbus, Ponce de León received a charter from King Ferdinand to explore and govern distant territories. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal why de León named his ‘discovery' "Florida"; explain why the ‘tree of death' played a pivotal part in his downfall; and discover where those ‘Fountain of Youth' rumours came from… Further Reading: ‘Ponce de Leon: Florida & Fountain of Youth' (HISTORY, 2009): https://www.history.com/topics/exploration/juan-ponce-de-leon ‘Ponce De Leon Never Searched for the Fountain of Youth' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2013): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ponce-de-leon-never-searched-for-the-fountain-of-youth-72629888/ ‘Juan Ponce de León: Meet the Spanish explorer who discovered Florida' (10 Tampa Bay, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-BjLdHerRk Love the show?

“Bonnie the Bunny's adventure to the Fountain of Youth” was written by Steve Adams, based on the tales from explorers who traveled the world in search of the Fountain of Youth. The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring which allegedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted around the world for thousands of years, appearing in the writings back to the 12th century. Stories of similar waters also featured prominently among the people of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration; they spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini. Based on these many legends, explorers and adventurers looked for the elusive Fountain of Youth or some other remedy to aging, generally associated with magic waters. These waters might have been a river, a spring or any other water-source said to reverse the aging process. The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, when it became associated with the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, the first Governor of Puerto Rico. Ponce de León was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to Florida in 1513.

Este episodio fue transmitido originalmente el 24 de enero de 2022 Durante la madrugada del 24 de enero del 2022 un grupo llamado Fuerza Libertaria de Borikén se atribuyó haber derribado la estatua de Juan Ponce de León en la Plaza San José en el viejo San Juan. Miguel Romero logró restaurarla y volver a colocarla en unas 8 horas aproximadamente. Esto generó todo un debate en las redes sociales. JoLowX, Andrés, Fefo y Josean hablan en este episodio de quien fue Juan Ponce de León y lo que simbolizaba derribar su estatua ante la visita del rey español, Felipe VI y bajo el contexto de las exenciones provistas por la ley 20 y 22 y la gentrificación que esta a provocado a grandes escalas. - - - - - ¿Te gusta nuestro contenido?

Él sabía que había encontrado una nueva tierra, solo que no sabía cuánto era el hallazgo. Y lo que realmente había salido a buscar es la mejor parte de la historia.Ponce de León fue uno de los navegantes que se embarcaron con Cristóbal Colón en su segundo viaje al Nuevo Mundo, y este viaje cambiaría su vida. Cuando Colón volvió a Europa, Ponce de León se quedó en La Española. Se hizo muy popular y fue nombrado gobernador de Puerto Rico en 1508. Mientras estaba allí, escuchó de marineros y nativos americanos muchas historias acerca de una fuente de agua mágica en la zona que hoy es Florida. La gente la llamaba la «Fuente de la juventud» y decían que beber su agua te mantendría joven. ¡Ponce de León se encontró que tenía que encontrar esta fuente de agua!Pidió permiso al rey Carlos V de España para ir en busca de las legendarias aguas, y el rey accedió, pero le dijo que debía pagar él mismo los barcos y la tripulación. Le habían dicho que la fuente mágica de agua se encontraron en una isla llamada Bimini, así que zarpó en marzo de 1513. Sin embargo, en lugar de encontrar la isla, él y sus hombres desembarcaron en Florida, siendo de los primeros europeos en hacerlo . Dirigió varias expediciones hacia el interior para encontrar la «Fuente de la juventud», pero nunca llegó a encontrarla. En 1521, volvió a Florida con la intención de establecer una colonia española allí. Sin embargo, nativos americanos hostiles atacaron su expedición poco después de desembarcar, y el grupo se hundió a Cuba, donde Ponce de León murió de una herida sufrida en batalla.Desde incluso antes de Ponce de León, la gente ya ha buscado la «Fuente de la juventud»; hoy, en lugar de buscarla en una isla o en Florida, la buscan en tiendas, farmacias o intervenciones quirúrgicas. Los anunciantes promocionan las cualidades de los productos de maquillaje antiedad que supuestamente dan un aspecto más joven a la piel, y las soluciones capilares para eliminar las cañas. Estos pueden cubrir temporalmente la evidencia del envejecimiento, pero la única manera de detener realmente el proceso de envejecimiento es beber del agua de la vida, clara como el cristal, que Dios te ofrece ahora mismo. Ella te dara acceso a la vida eterna.
En este episodio los mogolleros Paul, Pito Bolsa y Ricky Joel dialogan sobre la visita del Rey Felipe el VI a Puerto Rico, como tumbaron la estatua de Juan Ponce de León en el Viejo San Juan, y la protesta contra la gentrificación en la playa de Ocean Park por medio de un torneo de volleyball. Tocamos algunos temas sobre la música urbana y los deportes.Una sesión entre nuestros MOGOLLEROS:Paul (Pablito)Eliezer (Pito Bolsa)Ricardo Joel (Ricky)
Esta semana hablamos de la visita del Rey de España a Puerto Rico y la estatua de Juan Ponce de León siendo tumbada pal carajo. Tambien hablamos de la Karen de Ocean y el party de voceteo que esperamos sea real.
Antes de que medio mundo termine de comprar a Puerto Rico, llegamos otra semana a GW5 para hablar de las cosas que pasan en esta isla bendecida por Dios. Los milagros existen, y es por eso que el Hotel Normandie fue vendido por un par de pesos, para la alegría de Capitán Bobito, quien se consolidó como el mayor cuidador de cosas que ya no sirven pa' un carajo. Ya no se podrá piropear los culitos en la calle para malestar de los empleados de construcción, padre e hija se van a los tiros con los guardias a 102 millas por hora, y pa' joder están raptando niños en San Juan; el superintendente de Humacao se roba huesos para hacer su trono y ocurre un evento que paralizó el país por 24 horas: quinientos años después, los indígenas se rebelaron contra Juan Ponce de León. Recuerda: si te ofendes, eso no es problema de nosotros. ¡Desde GW-Cinco, esto es #LaHoraMachorra!

El Profesor Ángel Rosa analiza la controversia tras el derribamiento de la estatua del conquistador Juan Ponce de León en el contexto de la visita del rey de España Felipe VI a San Juan de Puerto Rico. ¿Vandalismo? ¿Protesta? ¿Justicia? No se pierda este análisis.
Un monarca europeo aterriza en Puerto Rico mientras un soberano boricua hace su entrada en el cielo. En este episodio hablamos de la visita del monarca español Felipe VI y del derribo de una estatua de Juan Ponce de León en el viejo San Juan a modo de protesta. Además, honramos la memoria del plenero mayor, Héctor "Tito" Matos, quien falleciera la semana pasada. Para culminar, platicamos con Yarimar Bonilla, directora del Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños de Hunter College en Nueva York. Pasen, escuchen y compartan.
Annie tells Johanna some of the fascinating history of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. From the 'discovery,' and colonization of Florida by Spain's famed explorers, Juan Ponce de Leon and Pedro Menendez de Aviles, to the first Underground Railroad, of Native people helping escaped slaves find freedom in Fort Mose...through the second Spanish period, and the construction of the very haunted Saint Augustine Lighthouse. We talk about the USA's first male and female Hispanic American lighthouse keepers, and discuss some of the tragedies that may have contributed to the haunting. This one has a little bit of everything...
