STORY OF AMERICA - Experienced seaman Samuel Champlain joined the crew aboard the ‘Saint-Julien’ on his first Trans-Atlantic crossing, while in his early thirties. This journey lasted two years and gave Champlain the opportunity to learn about Spanish holdings from the Caribbean to Mexico City. Along the way, he took detailed notes, wrote an illustrated report on what he learned on this trip, and gave this secret account—entitled ‘Narrative of a Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico 1599 to 1601’—to his King, Henry the fourth, who rewarded Champlain with an annual pension. In 1603, King Henry IV wanted the French to begin settling in the New World in hopes that wealth could be brought back to France. So he sent an expedition to locate a place on the American continent to establish a colony and fur trade settlement. Although he held no official title at the time, Samuel de Champlain would be among the men who would take part in this great venture.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most polarizing figures in the NASCAR Cup garage, Carson Hocevar, on this week's episode of the Dale Jr. Download. Carson has become known for his unique approach to Cup stardom, be it weird hats or streaming on iRacing during rain delays. He fills Dale in on what drives this approach, specifically how he managed to get an iRacing rig onto the Spire Motorsports hauler, and how he has even gone into the garage after hours to sim race. Dale and Carson discuss social media content and their respective styles of creation. Carson recently came into hot water for comments he made on a stream surrounding the NASCAR trip to Mexico City. The guys discuss Carson's growth from the incident and how this is part of the process of growing up in the spotlight.Carson talks about his path to the Cup Series, which began at home in Michigan in the quarter midget division. He explains that through help from former NASCAR driver Johnny Benson, he found his way into the late model world, and eventually landed a ride with Niece Motorsports in the Truck Series. Dale and Carson discuss his time at Spire Motorsports and how he seems to be helping the team elevate to the next level, as he has found himself running at the front this season in contention for wins. The interview also covers some of Carson's on-track incidents, learning to rein in his aggression, and his social life amongst other race drivers Arby's: Arby's Cheesesteak is Here!

It's summer, the time of year each nation flings its most obnoxious and provincial citizenry into the rest of the world on cruise ships and discount airlines. And the rest of the world responds to the binge drinking, the clacking of roller suitcases, and public displays of ignorance with, "Why are these people my problem exactly?" It's the annual Gringos On the Move episode, this time covering mass tourism at Jonestown, the Disneylandification of Kyoto, and the anti-tourist and expat protests in Mexico City, Venice, and Barcelona.  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

What would an Elon Musk-backed third party do for American politics?

Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into a jam-packed week of controversy, conspiracy, and current events. They kick things off with the latest whirlwind around the long-awaited Epstein list, exploring why both the FBI and political powers might be protecting it, and what this means for public trust. The conversation expands to America's fiscal cliff, with Tom making a bold prediction about the nation's trajectory toward bankruptcy and breaking down the complex mechanics of money printing, modern monetary theory, and why the middle class continues to shrink. Drew and Tom debate the viability and timing of a third political party—especially one helmed by a figure like Elon Musk—and examine the populist moment currently sweeping America and the globe. They don't shy away from tough topics like U.S. immigration policy, touching on recent ICE raids and anti-American protests in Mexico City, as well as the ripple effects of unchecked migration.

This is Part 13 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. Today we continue  to tell the story of Don Reynolds, the Maryland insurance broker who who made Bobby Baker a nominal partner in his insurance agency and engaged in other business with Baker. Today, we tell the story of the performance bond related to the D.C. stadium build, with Baker's portion of the commissions  disguised and paid in the form of a loan to avoid questions surrounding his conflict of interest in the commission split. Baker  would receive $4,000 from Reynolds commissions which totaled   around $10,000.   Baker's decision  to have the receipt of his  portion of the commissions take the form of  a loan from Reynolds to Baker, was an attempt at  further obscuring the nature of the payment and also turning it into a  a scheme to avoid income taxes on the receipt. In its ugliest vernacular, it was simply a kickback that Baker received related to the commissions on the performance bond insurance premium. The story gets more complicated as Reynolds agrees to overbill on the insurance bond and collect an additional $35,000 over the original price of the bond, disguising what turned out to be an illegal campaign contribution to the Democratic party.  $25,000 of that amount was allegedly  intended to be delivered to the Kennedy Johnson campaign fund but was never proven to have arrived there. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle. All of these men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President. The story is extraordinary. We began the story of Don Reynolds in Episode 11 whereby Reynolds crafts an arrangement whereby Baker became a nominal VP of his insurance agency (with a non-voting stock interest) in exchange for Baker's help in expanding  sales and profits. Commission payments for referrals were also a part of the deal.  Reynolds would become friends with Baker and travel on lavish junkets to New York and Miami, living the high life all while cultivating clients made available through Baker's contacts. His tight relationship would lead him to be a bagman too for Baker.  Once these and other scandals were  revealed during investigation by the Senate Rule and Administration committee's investigation and the work of senator John Williams,  the scandal threatened to take the Vice President down politically. Perhaps, if the tragic events of November 22nd had not occurred, these events might have sent Johnson to jail as other indiscretions were also being investigated. Reynolds testimony regarding the stereo and the television advertising kick backed to Johnson  were taking place in closed session at a senate office building literally at the moment that the shots rang out in Dealey Plaza.  Informed of the president's assassination as the meeting was finishing up, Reynolds shook with the gravity of the situation and the fact that the man he had just accused of engaging in graph...Lyndon Johnson, had just become the most powerful man in the world.  Rumors of Johnson's involvement in the assassination began to swirl almost immediately after the President's  murder and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series.

Nick Fletcher sits down with Pablo Castaneda, Chief of International Surgery at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and hip surgeon extraordinaire to talk about his transitions from Mexico City where he performed over 1000 surgeries for DDH, to NYU where he led a team as they grew a department within a new freestanding pediatric hospital in NYC, and back to Houston where he recently started a new venture helping grow the international footprint of TCH. Other highlights include discussions about early vs late reconstruction of developmentally dislocated hips, PAO's with or without arthroscopy, and how to manage complex deformity in older patients with Perthes. 

Dave and Chris talk about their recent trip to Mexico City, with culinary highlights and some classic foreigner faux pas. Dave then interviews chef Enrique Olvera of the acclaimed two–Michelin starred Mexico City restaurant Pujol and beyond.

Texas Flash Flood Tragedy Sparks Grief and Political Blame Game At least 80 people are dead and 40 more are missing after catastrophic July 4th flooding in Texas Hill Country. Among the victims are 10 girls from a Christian summer camp and the camp's heroic owner, Richard Eastland. Despite early and extensive weather warnings, some Democrats blame Trump's NOAA budget cuts for the disaster. Bryan calls these claims factually wrong and morally reprehensible. Trump's Economy Faces Tariff Deadlines and Debt Market Concerns “Liberation Day” tariffs are set to kick in this Wednesday unless trade deals are finalized. While countries like India and the EU ask for exemptions, agriculture remains a sticking point. Meanwhile, the Trump economy shows strength in jobs and wages, but rising debt levels have bond markets on edge. Economist advice: keep personal debt low. Gaza Truce in the Works as Hamas Control Collapses President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu are expected to finalize a ceasefire. A Hamas fighter admits the group has lost command, paychecks have stopped, and Israeli drones now dominate the skies. With clans taking over and Hamas in shambles, Bryan asks what a truce really means when there's no one left to enforce it. Iran Sends Saboteurs Through U.S. Border, Issues Death Warrants Iran's clerics issue fatwas calling for the assassinations of Trump and Netanyahu. U.S. intel warns that 35 Iranian operatives are being smuggled in via Mexican cartels. Customs and Border Protection confirms a terror alert is in effect, centered on southern California. China's Xi Might Be Ill or Facing a Coup China's foreign minister admits Beijing wants the Ukraine war to drag on, shocking European diplomats. At home, Xi Jinping is missing public events, sidelining generals, and delegating power. Analysts suspect serious illness or a power struggle is underway, as Xi's diplomatic blunders pile up. Mexican Protesters Demand Americans Leave Demonstrators in Mexico City call U.S. “digital nomads” an invasion, blaming them for high rents and cultural erosion. Signs read “Americans go home.” Mexico's government defends foreigners, but the protests reflect deepening resentment. UK Opera House Goes Dark When Wind Stops Blowing A British opera house that relies solely on wind power suffers six blackouts during a performance, eventually canceling the show. The story underscores the limits of unreliable green energy, leading Bryan to suggest they rebrand as a House of Blues. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

Texas braces for more rain as death toll mounts to at least 82 with dozens missing. Protests against overtourism in Mexico City turn violent against visitors. Trump threatens extra 10% tariff on nations siding with BRICS. Politicians looking to place blame for Texas rain and flooding. Ozzy Osbourne performs final concert with Black Sabbath bandmates. Trump hosts Netanyahu, hopes for Israel-Hamas deal ‘this week'. DOJ, FBI conclude Jeffrey Epstein had no "client list," committed suicide. Musk says he is forming new political party after fallout with Trump. 

We begin with news of a ⁠Houthi attack on the Liberian-flagged bulk tanker, Magic Seas⁠, in the Red Sea, marking the first such incident on commercial shipping since December of last year. This attack, which occurred 51 nautical miles southwest of Hudaydah, Yemen, led to the vessel being set on fire and sinking, with its 23-person crew abandoning ship.  UPS plans to offer ⁠voluntary buyouts to unionized drivers⁠ for the first time in their history, as part of an effort to eliminate approximately 20,000 frontline positions and increase profits. While drivers taking the buyout would receive a generous financial package and earned retirement benefits, the Teamsters union strongly opposes this plan, viewing it as an illegal violation of their contract's commitment to creating new jobs.  In other news, DP World, a global ports and logistics operator, is seizing ⁠significant opportunities across Latin America⁠, having recently opened a freight forwarding hub in Mexico City to support rising demand in US-Mexico cross-border logistics. The company has expanded aggressively in the Americas over the last two years, establishing 35 freight forwarding offices, including locations in Brazil and Toronto.

In this wide-ranging episode, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine unpack a torrent of headlines and controversies. They open with the catastrophic Texas flash floods that killed dozens, debating whether extreme weather manipulation played a role and highlighting Marjorie Taylor Greene's push for a federal ban on geoengineering. The discussion shifts to the explosive Axios memo claiming the FBI found no Epstein client list and ruled his death a suicide, an assertion the hosts dissect as either an elaborate psyop or a desperate cover-up. They also analyze fresh JFK assassination revelations about CIA psychological operations targeting Oswald, the DOJ's quiet cancellation of billions in contracts, and a new Texas voter fraud indictment aimed at Democrat operatives. Elon Musk's launch of the “America Party” prompts debate about third-party spoilers, Trump's leverage, and whether Musk's move is authentic or theater. Other topics include a Bitcoin whale's 14-year-old fortune suddenly on the move, anti-American protests over gentrification in Mexico City, and small wins in removing mercury from flu vaccines. Packed with sharp humor and a spirit of defiance, this episode challenges official narratives and explores the undercurrents driving today's headlines.

Trump Visits “Alligator Alcatraz” Amid Immigration Firestorm President Trump visits a new detention facility for illegal immigrants deep in Florida's Everglades. Nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the site was built in secrecy using Biden-era hotel funds, sparking lawsuits from environmentalists and migrant groups. Meanwhile, the Senate fails to pass a Medicaid ban for illegal immigrants, and House Republicans move forward with a bill to deport those arrested for DUIs. LA Sued for Sanctuary Policies, Activists Launch ICE-Tracking App The Trump administration sues Los Angeles for violating the Constitution's Supremacy Clause with its sanctuary city policies. At the same time, a Democrat activist and Antifa supporter launches an app to help migrants avoid ICE agents. Critics warn the app could incite violence against law enforcement, especially as pride in America drops sharply among Democrats, according to new Gallup polling. Hamas Crumbles in Gaza as Netanyahu Eyes Peace Israel's operation in Gaza has killed top Hamas leaders and brought 75% of the territory under Israeli control. Internal resistance to Hamas is growing among Palestinian clans, even as militants continue sporadic attacks. The U.S. now faces a strategic dilemma after depleting 20% of its anti-missile stockpiles during the conflict. Russia's Offensive Stalls, Ukraine Sends Grandfathers to the Front Russia's summer offensive falters due to poor morale, corruption, and untrained soldiers. Ukraine, running low on manpower, is deploying men in their 50s and 60s to the front lines, while corruption plagues the country's funeral industry amid surging war casualties. Mexican Cartels Use AI to Track and Kill FBI Informants A DOJ report reveals that the Sinaloa Cartel used cellphone metadata and Mexico City surveillance to track U.S. officials and murder FBI informants. The breach highlights growing dangers of digital surveillance and "digital exhaust," with Bryan urging listeners to reduce their own digital footprint.

This is Part 12 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle. All of these men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President. The story is extraordinary. We began the story of Don Reynolds in Episode 11. Today we continue  to tell the story of Don Reynolds, the Maryland insurance broker who who went into business with Baker, crafting an arrangement whereby Baker became a nominal VP of his insurance agency (with a non-voting stock interest) in exchange for Baker's help in expanding  sales and profits. Commission payments for referrals were also a part of the deal.  Reynolds would become friends with Baker and travel on lavish junkets to New York and Miami, living the high life all while cultivating clients made available through Baker's contacts. His tight relationship would lead him to be a bagman too for Baker.  The end came when the Senate Rules and Administration committee began its investigation and came upon Reynolds, who had sold $200,000 worth of life insurance to Lyndon Johnson as a result of the introduction provided by Baker. But Johnson's insistence on kickbacks on the cost of the insurance premium would prove to be perilous. The kickbacks would come  in the form of a stereo thinly disguised as a gift along with the purchase of television advertising on Johnson's Austin TV station. Once revealed by the committee's investigation and the work of senator John Williams,  the scandal threatened to take the Vice President down politically and perhaps, if the tragic events of November 22nd had not occurred, might have sent Johnson to jail as other indiscretions were also being investigated. Reynolds testimony regarding the stereo and the television advertising were taking place in closed session at a senate office building literally at the moment that the shots rang out in Dealey Plaza.  Informed of the president's assassination as the meeting was finishing up, Reynolds shook with the gravity of the situation and the fact that the man he had just accused of engaging in graph...Lyndon Johnson, had just become the most powerful man in the world.  The characters, setting and details around this story make it an essential example of one more bad choice of association by Baker which eventually led to his demise and, as mentioned, came close to bringing down Vice President Johnson as well. Rumors of Johnson's involvement in the assassination began to swirl almost immediately after the President's  murder and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the natio

Reynolds testimony regarding the stereo and the television advertising were taking place in closed session at a senate office building literally at the moment that the shots rang out in Dealey Plaza.  Informed of the president's assassination as the meeting was finishing up, Reynolds shook with the gravity of the situation and the fact that the man he had just accused of engaging in graph...Lyndon Johnson, had just become the most powerful man in the world.  The characters, setting and details around this story make it an essential example of one more bad choice of association by Baker which eventually led to his demise and, as mentioned, came close to bringing down Vice President Johnson as well. Rumors of Johnson's involvement in the assassination began to swirl almost immediately after the President's  murder and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 378The Saint of the day is Saint Junipero SerraSaint Junipero Serra’s Story In 1776, when the American Revolution was beginning in the east, another part of the future United States was being born in California. That year a gray-robed Franciscan founded Mission San Juan Capistrano, now famous for its annually returning swallows. San Juan was the seventh of nine missions established under the direction of this indomitable Spaniard. Born on Spain's island of Mallorca, Serra entered the Franciscan Order taking the name of Saint Francis' childlike companion, Brother Juniper. Until he was 35, he spent most of his time in the classroom—first as a student of theology and then as a professor. He also became famous for his preaching. Suddenly he gave it all up and followed the yearning that had begun years before when he heard about the missionary work of Saint Francis Solano in South America. Junipero's desire was to convert native peoples in the New World. Arriving by ship at Vera Cruz, Mexico, he and a companion walked the 250 miles to Mexico City. On the way Junipero's left leg became infected by an insect bite and would remain a cross—sometimes life-threatening—for the rest of his life. For 18 years, he worked in central Mexico and in the Baja Peninsula. He became president of the missions there. Enter politics: the threat of a Russian invasion south from Alaska. Charles III of Spain ordered an expedition to beat Russia to the territory. So the last two conquistadors—one military, one spiritual—began their quest. José de Galvez persuaded Junipero to set out with him for present-day Monterey, California. The first mission founded after the 900-mile journey north was San Diego in 1769. That year a shortage of food almost canceled the expedition. Vowing to stay with the local people, Junipero and another friar began a novena in preparation for St. Joseph's day, March 19, the scheduled day of departure. On that day, the relief ship arrived. Other missions followed: Monterey/Carmel (1770); San Antonio and San Gabriel (1771); San Luís Obispo (1772); San Francisco and San Juan Capistrano (1776); Santa Clara (1777); San Buenaventura (1782). Twelve more were founded after Serra's death. Junipero made the long trip to Mexico City to settle great differences with the military commander. He arrived at the point of death. The outcome was substantially what Junipero sought: the famous “Regulation” protecting the Indians and the missions. It was the basis for the first significant legislation in California, a “Bill of Rights” for Native Americans. Because the Native Americans were living a nonhuman life from the Spanish point of view, the friars were made their legal guardians. The Native Americans were kept at the mission after baptism lest they be corrupted in their former haunts—a move that has brought cries of “injustice” from some moderns. Junipero's missionary life was a long battle with cold and hunger, with unsympathetic military commanders and even with danger of death from non-Christian native peoples. Through it all his unquenchable zeal was fed by prayer each night, often from midnight till dawn. He baptized over 6,000 people and confirmed 5,000. His travels would have circled the globe. He brought the Native Americans not only the gift of faith but also a decent standard of living. He won their love, as witnessed especially by their grief at his death. He is buried at Mission San Carlo Borromeo, Carmel, and was beatified in 1988. Pope Francis canonized him in Washington, D.C., on September 23, 2015. Reflection The word that best describes Junipero is zeal. It was a spirit that came from his deep prayer and dauntless will. “Always forward, never back” was his motto. His work bore fruit for 50 years after his death as the rest of the missions were founded in a kind of Christian communal living by the Indians. When both Mexican and American greed caused the secularization of the missions, the Chumash people went back to what they had been—God again writing straight with crooked lines.
