In this episode of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Brad Zerbo take a thoughtful journey through America's origins and its modern crossroads. The hosts reflect on how Donald Trump's recent rhetoric has invoked the Founding Fathers and the spirit of independence, sparking discussion about whether today's political realignment could mirror the original revolutionary ethos. They explore the potential evolution from a two-party system into something more aligned with America First principles, considering whether the emergence of an “America Party” could be a calculated shift rather than a spontaneous rupture. Alongside these themes, they examine the battle space, political, cultural, informational, and how Trump's memetic presence shapes public perception. The conversation also grapples with the difference between ideological branding and authentic principle, raising questions about conservatism, liberalism, and the drift of institutions. Finally, the hosts share candid thoughts on moral compromise in modern governance, from taxation to public standards, and draw parallels between the audacity of the Founders and the resolve needed now to reclaim self-determination.
With Shahir out of town presumably researching dinosaurs, Matt and Jamie cue up the harmonica version of the JP theme song for this next entry in the legendary franchise from Director Gareth Edwards.

In a sweeping discussion, the hosts cover the fallout after UPenn was forced to strip transgender swimmer Leah Thomas (Will Thomas) of titles and issue personal apologies to the displaced female athletes—sparking outrage and satire. They pivot to a sobering analysis of Iran's nuclear program, revealing that contrary to official claims, Iran retains significant enrichment capability deep within facilities like Isfahan and Pickaxe Mountain—many of which remain untouched and potentially operational. While the Pentagon admits Iran's program was set back by only 1–2 years, China's involvement and Trump's mixed signals on oil sanctions fuel suspicion that Iran's nuclear ambitions are far from over. The segment closes with speculation about whether new U.S. legislation authorizing B-2 bombers and bunker busters for Israel will preempt Iran's next moves before it's too late.
The hosts react to bombshell confirmation from CIA Director John Ratcliffe that the infamous Russia collusion narrative was deliberately fabricated by top intelligence officials—including John Brennan, James Comey, and James Clapper—who cherry-picked analysts, suppressed dissent, and laundered Clinton campaign opposition research as legitimate intelligence. For years, the media saturated the public with the hoax, creating widespread hysteria and shaping the outcome of the 2020 election. The segment explores how this unprecedented disinformation campaign altered history, eroded trust in institutions, and shows why similar tactics could happen again—especially if censorship grows. The hosts also reflect on the potential global ramifications, from Ukraine to Gaza, had Trump remained in office without this manufactured scandal undermining his presidency.
Writer, Producer, and Filmmaker Nicholas Ma joins us to talk about his latest documentary titled "Leap of Faith". We explore why documentaries captivate him and how they represent human encounter and vulnerability. In an ever-increasing divided world where people talk about those they disagree with as being an "enemy", is it possible for a group of pastors to come together to speak into the huge chasms that divide us? Is there space there for the gospel? Listen in as Nicholas shares behind-the-scenes insights and moments of discomfort that turned into profound learning experiences. Join us for a heartfelt discussion on art, faith, and the transformative power of storytelling.Read more about Nicholas Ma HERESee the trailer for Leap of Faith HEREContact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's Patreon Team!

In this milestone four-year anniversary episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dissect the high-stakes drama surrounding Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill.” They break down the House's record-shattering procedural votes, the Senate's last-minute amendments, and why the bill's spectacle might be engineered narrative warfare rather than genuine urgency. The hosts debate whether Trump's relentless push is a trap to expose congressional dysfunction or a sincere attempt to codify his agenda, exploring “narrative shielding,” the switch theory, and the possibility of a financial reset hidden in plain sight. The show dives into the surreal optics of pajama-clad lawmakers, Elon Musk's feud with Trump over the bill, and the “pincer strategy” that may be uniting their public opposition and support into a single play. Jon and Burning Bright also connect the dots to election integrity revelations, with Chuck Grassley's bombshell on Chinese fake driver's licenses and John Ratcliffe's review of the CIA's 2016 Russian influence assessment. Packed with humor, existential frustration, and reminders not to cheerlead mindlessly, this episode challenges listeners to question every narrative, especially the ones they want to believe.

The Book of Mormon posits that some or all Native Americans are descended from Israelites who migrated to the Americas. However, DNA studies of modern Native Americans show no significant genetic links to Middle Eastern populations, leading to debates about the Book of Mormon's historical accuracy. The Book of Mormon describes migrations of Israelites to the Americas, including groups like the Jaredites, Nephites, and Lamanites, who were said to be the "principal ancestors" of the Native Americans and now said to be "among" the ancestors of the Native Americans as DNA continues to challenge this narrative.Advances in DNA studies continue to show that most Native American populations have strong genetic links to East Asian populations, with no evidence of Middle Eastern ancestry.Thank you so much for listening Mormonish Podcast!***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: Mormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you'd like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!

In this expansive episode of The Narrative, the Burning Bright and Ashe in America dive into the swirling chaos defining 2025 and explore how Donald Trump masterfully maneuvers through it all. The show opens with reflections on the darkness seeping through modern society before unpacking the Israel-Iran saga, Supreme Court “shenanigans,” and the controversial “big beautiful bill.” They analyze Trump's strategic use of narrative warfare, likening his approach to game theory and parenting, carefully calibrating how much truth the public can handle without losing control of the battle space. The conversation pivots to a bold examination of biblical narratives and their modern political overlays, particularly regarding Israel and Zionism, promising to upset everyone equally. Additional segments tackle the cultural roots of MAGA, frustrations with libertarianism, Bitcoin as a tool for reclaiming power, and the role of manufactured crises in shaping collective fear. By the end, listeners are challenged to see past slogans and engage more deeply in the contested terrain of public perception.
Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for Episode 367 with a sweeping look at how narratives are weaponized and dismantled in real time. The show kicks off with Steve Bannon's declaration that the Iranian nuclear threat is a “MacGuffin”, a plot device meant to drive fear while hiding deeper objectives. The hosts connect this to Trump's strategic communications and Bannon's War Room, unpacking how a network of players including Rich Higgins, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, and Derek Harvey shaped the MAGA movement's media counteroffensive. They pivot to Supreme Court decisions limiting nationwide injunctions, calling it a seismic win against judicial overreach, while questioning why agency power was simultaneously upheld in the FCC tax ruling. Jon and Chris analyze the “Big Beautiful Bill,” suggesting Trump may be publicly supporting it to provoke opposition and trigger a fiscal showdown. The conversation explores the psychological warfare of existential threats, from nuclear panic to climate narratives, and how these fears are engineered to sever society from God. Wrapping up, they dig into the strategy of reverse narrative psychology, the unraveling of neocon influence in Israel, and whether America is on the brink of a deliberate financial reset.

Vanessa Cominsky joins Case and Sam to RAGE against this awkward historical epic! Overview Podcast hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea provide a framework for discussing the 2004 film Troy, highlighting its connection to early 2000s epic films like Gladiator and 300. Vanessa Cominsky, a guest and classics major, notes a 4-year professional bond with Case stemming from shared academic interests. David Benioff, the film's screenwriter, is discussed in relation to his later work on Game of Thrones and identified issues in narrative depth. Whitewashing criticism surfaces regarding the film's predominantly white cast, despite its story set in a historically diverse region. Analysis reveals a lack of clear passage of time, compressing the depicted 10-year Trojan War into a brief narrative span. Costume design receives praise for historical accuracy while the film's runtime discrepancies are critiqued, with the director's cut deemed excessive. Thematic exploration includes Agamemnon's characterization as a villain symbolizing US imperialism, contrasting with sympathetic portrayals of the Trojans. Sean Bean's potential as Odysseus is noted but criticized for underutilization, while Peter O'Toole's Priam provides limited but impactful performance. Improvement suggestions include altering the title to better reflect Achilles' journey and revising the narrative structure to enhance character development. Upcoming initiatives include a scholarship program for women in wine, launched by Vanessa Cominsky's nonprofit Vin Vitalite in 2025. @vminsky @womenofwinedc Www.vinVitalité.org (Pronounced vinn vitahlihtay) Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 02:45) Hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea introduce the 'Another Pass' podcast, discussing movie analysis and improvements. Guest Vanessa Cominsky introduced as Case's coworker from wine/spirits industry and fellow classics major. Discussion of 4-year professional relationship and bonding over classics background. Movie Context & Background (02:45 - 09:38) Analysis of 2004 film Troy as adaptation loosely based on oral tradition. Discussion of movie within context of early 2000s epic films including Gladiator, 300, and Lord of the Rings trilogy. David Benioff identified as screenwriter, connecting to later Game of Thrones writing style issues. Observation that Odysseus character tells audience he's clever but never demonstrates intelligence in actual scenes. Political interpretation: movie reflects 2004 centrist liberal perspective on Middle Eastern conflicts with 'support the troops' messaging. Film Production & Casting Analysis (09:38 - 19:22) Vanessa's personal connection: used movie for high school Latin convention project and senior thesis. Whitewashing criticism - movie depicts conflict between Greece and Middle East with entirely white cast. Brad Pitt as main marketing draw playing Achilles in peak popularity period. Case's viewing experience in Rome during classics trip, creating nostalgic connection to material. Story Structure & Adaptation Choices (19:22 - 28:32) Movie covers broader Trojan War story rather than just Iliad, including Trojan Horse sequence not in original epic. Brian Cox as Agamemnon praised as perfect casting choice despite whitewashing issues. Discussion of movie's approach to gods - humans take credit for actions rather than divine intervention. ️ Character Analysis - Heroes and Villains (28:32 - 38:14) Agamemnon positioned as main villain representing US imperialism, while Trojans portrayed sympathetically. Hector vs Achilles juxtaposition works well as respective champions of each side. Orlando Bloom as Paris criticized as too whiny and lacking roguish charm needed for character. Eric Bana as Hector praised as everyone's 'big brother' figure and moral center. Production Design & Technical Elements (38:14 - 47:42) Costume design highly praised for historical accuracy and visual distinction between Greeks and Trojans. Director's cut vs theatrical cut - director's cut too long at 3 hours 16 minutes with unnecessary gore. Runtime issues - theatrical cut feels rushed while director's cut is excessive. War Portrayal & Geographic Issues (47:43 - 56:37) Time compression problem - 10-year war feels like weeks or months with no passage of time indicated. Troy's geography poorly established - unclear city layout and siege logistics. Siege warfare portrayed as single-direction battle rather than comprehensive blockade. Thematic Elements & Religious Context (56:38 - 01:05:46) Gods' role minimized to hint at divine influence without direct intervention. Moral philosophy embedded in Achilles-Briseis conversations about mortality and divinity. Historical accuracy questioned regarding Bronze Age vs Classical Greek terminology and social structures. Casting and Performance Critique (01:05:46 - 01:15:32) Sean Bean as Odysseus underutilized despite perfect casting choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam noted as big casting choice but limited screen time. James Cosmo casting questioned as underused Trojan general. Improvement Proposals - Sam's Pitch (01:15:32 - 01:26:16) Title change to 'The Wrath of Achilles' to better reflect actual story focus. Sean Bean expansion - more scenes showing passage of time and war strategy. Runtime reduction - cut Trojan perspective to focus on Greek side and Achilles' journey. Narrative structure - use Odysseus as storyteller/narrator rather than voiceover. Improvement Proposals - Vanessa's Pitch (01:26:16 - 01:36:20) Scope change to focus on Achilles from moment Odysseus recruits him. Character development - establish Greek power structure and vassal relationships. Agamemnon characterization - emphasize him as villain representing imperialism more clearly. Improvement Proposals - Casey's Pitch (01:36:20 - 01:45:13) Geographic clarity - establish Troy's layout and siege positioning with additional CG shots. Time passage - visual indicators and dialogue establishing years-long conflict. Battle variety - different environments including sea battles and raids on surrounding areas. Violence balance - between theatrical cut's sanitization and director's cut's excess. Final Discussion & Wrap-up (01:45:13 - 02:05:58) David Benioff background revealed as Goldman Sachs executive's son, explaining Hollywood access. Vanessa's organization - Vin Vitalite, DC women in wine industry nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. Scholarship program launching 2025 for women in wine industry.

Sexual liberation promised freedom, but it delivered heartbreak. In this week's episode of The Narrative, we're joined by Nathanael Blake, author of Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All, to candidly talk about the consequences of a culture that has abandoned God's intended design for sex, marriage, and family. CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan sit down with Nathanael to walk through the damage left in the wake of the sexual revolution—how women, children, and even men have suffered under the lie that we can separate sex from commitment, family, and faithfulness. Before their conversation with Nathanael, Aaron and David break down the latest Franklin County court ruling, which claims EDChoice in Ohio is unconstitutional. They also share an update on the state budget and what's ahead for Ohio, pending Governor DeWine's signature.
