On May 29th, 1787, Edmund Randolph — 33 years old, governor of Virginia, owner of the finest voice in the room — rose to open the main business of the Federal Convention, and 3 notebooks took him down. Madison recorded a statesman's autopsy of the Confederation and an exhortation not to let the moment pass. Doctor McHenry caught the raw material Madison left out: “Are we not on the eve of war?” and the maxim that America's chief danger arose from “the democratic parts of our constitutions.” And Robert Yates, Governor Clinton's watchdog, heard a confession — “a strong consolidated union, in which the idea of states should be nearly annihilated.” This is the story of the 2 days that set the summer's course: the polite resolution to “correct and enlarge” the Articles, withdrawn by its own mover and replaced with the doctrine that a union “merely federal” will not do; Gerry's warning that a convention with this power could annihilate the Confederation; Gouverneur Morris's answer — a supreme government now, or a despot in twenty years, “for come he must”; the vote, 6 states to 1. And before the day ends, tiny Delaware threatens to walk. Then the first great question of design: who elects the people's house — Sherman wanting the people to have as little to do as may be, Gerry blaming the excess of democracy, and Mason and Wilson answering with the grand depository and the federal pyramid on the broadest possible base.Send us Fan Mail

What if the difference between staying stuck and building a multi-million dollar legacy was a single full-body decision? Leah McHenry - homeschool mom of five, musician, and founder of multiple seven-figure businesses, reveals how she turned trauma, debt, and uncertainty into a framework for bold action, stewardship, and explosive growth. Raised in a fractured church environment and carrying the weight of early instability, Leah's path didn't start with confidence or a business plan. It started with pain, a refusal to quit, and a choice to do the hard thing long before she knew how it would work. That mindset eventually carried her from a flopped ebook to a $2.5 million course business, then into a candle brand that validated in 30 days and scaled into an eight-figure company.You'll discover: Why "going all in" matters more than having the perfect strategy How Leah used a tiny email list of superfans to launch her first profitable offer The validation-first method she now uses to test ideas fast and reduce risk Why she believes most people are wasting the most important 20% of their time How the parable of the talents reshaped her theology of money, stewardship, and business Heather and Leah also break down the difference between fear of loss and true faith, why quitting too early often looks spiritual but isn't, and how to know when a pivot is wisdom instead of failure. If you've ever felt called to build something but froze waiting for certainty, this conversation will challenge you to move, make decisions, and let momentum open the doors. Leah also shares how she balances entrepreneurship, homeschooling, marriage, and creative seasons without pretending balance is the goal. Instead, she explains her integrated approach to time, energy, and family life, plus the practical systems that keep her focused on what actually moves the needle.This is essential listening for Christian entrepreneurs, homeschool moms, multi-passionate builders, and anyone who wants to create wealth with purpose instead of fear. If you're ready for a sharper theology of money, a smarter approach to growth, and the courage to build what God put in your hands, this episode will light the fire.Leah is the founder of Legacy Launchpad and the host of Legacy Launch Pod, where she teaches how to build businesses from idea to seven figures using repeatable frameworks. She has also built and scaled multiple companies across music, digital products, and e-commerce, and helps others create family legacies through entrepreneurship.

Keith McHenry, co-founder of the Food Not Bombs movement, discusses his family's deep American roots and how despite a lineage connected to the founding of the country which also participated in parapolitical events, McHenry took a radical departure toward anarchism and social activism. He describes the evolution of his organization, which provides free meals as a form of nonviolent protest against military spending and corporate dystopia. He details his extensive history of political arrests, his experiences with state repression and torture, and his commitment to aiding the homeless. He outlines the digital dystopia being built all around us and suggests mutual aid as one of the few things that will get us through.

Keith McHenry, founder of Food Not Bombs, joins the program to discuss a increasing reality: in dozens of U.S. cities, feeding hungry people has become a punishable offense. Through "no public feeding" ordinances and other restrictions, volunteers serving free meals have found themselves arrested, fined, and driven out of public spaces. McHenry has shared free food in thousands of cities around the world for more than four decades and, during that time, has been arrested hundreds of times, jailed, beaten, and even labeled part of a terrorist network—all for organizing volunteers to feed hungry people.McHenry also shares why, in his experience, the most liberal cities are often the worst offenders—the very cities that claim to stand for the poor. Meanwhile, those who support smaller government and the idea of community members helping community members are more often found in Republican-led communities and smaller towns, which have been the most accepting and, in many cases, have even partnered with his organization. It's the opposite of what much of the media portrays.This conversation will show you that helping others is up to all of us and that government should not be relied upon when it matters most.Learn how you can get involved or buy his books at KeithMcHenry.net.Sign up for the newsletter and see exclusives at SarahWestall.Substack.com.

Il revient sur les tensions entre les États-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne, qui ont conduit à cette guerre de 1812.
