Send us a textThe sensationalist claims about Donald Trump being the Antichrist are nothing new in the world of biblical prophecy speculation. Drawing from five decades of walking with the Lord and forty years of teaching Scripture, I offer a sobering perspective on the confusion surrounding end-times prophecy and political figures.Throughout the years, I've heard countless theories: Nixon was the Antichrist, then Clinton, then Obama, and now Trump. These speculations reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of biblical eschatology. The Scriptures clearly indicate the Antichrist will rise from the Middle East, specifically from the territory of the ancient Roman Empire, and will establish a seven-year covenant with Israel. No American president fits this biblical profile.What troubles me most isn't confusion about external figures like Trump or the Pope, but the dangerous heresies circulating within our own churches—teachings that we are gods, that everything we speak happens, or that true salvation guarantees physical healing. While these false teachers gather crowds and build megachurches, Christians worldwide face genuine persecution for their faith. Instead of speculating about political figures, we should recognize that God has given the church a moment of opportunity. Whether Trump's initiatives in the Middle East represent political strategy or divine intervention, our focus should remain on sharing Christ's message of reconciliation and redemption.Daniel and Matthew provide clear markers for recognizing the end times, and Jesus himself warned about deception within the faith community. As we navigate these challenging days, remember this isn't the millennial reign of Christ—we're in spiritual warfare for souls. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, use every opportunity to share His love, and stand firm in biblical truth amidst rampant speculation and sensationalism.Support the show

“[Coaching] is fulfilling, but it also sincerely does make me better. It makes me a better athlete. Miguel (Marin), just the way that he wanted to get better as a person and as a runner. He was a young person, didn't have life figured out and was still trying to figure himself out. I'm still trying to figure myself out. Just seeing him put the effort into himself that he did. There were so many times that made me be like, ‘I can do this. I can be better and improve upon things about myself and my emotional stability, my mental stability.' All these things improve just by the relationship that we had.” My guest for today's episode is CJ Albertson. Just three weeks after setting a personal best of 2:08:17 at the Chicago Marathon, CJ came into the New York City Marathon and delivered another stellar performance, finishing 10th in 2:10:57. CJ's year has been nothing short of extraordinary—top American at both the Boston and Chicago Marathons, a 5th-place finish at the Olympic Trials, and now, another top-10 finish in New York. No American had ever run sub-2:11 marathons so close together, but CJ isn't one to shy away from a challenge. We'll talk about his mindset, his breakout year, and his relentless pursuit of faster times. Plus, CJ also shares a bit about how he was running in memory of Miguel Marin, who was one of his athletes who ran track and cross country at Clovis Community College. The 22-year-old died in a car crash over the weekend. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist with his family's expenses. You can find the link to it here.

Show Notes and Transcript Drew Allen joins Hearts of Oak to discuss his book *America's Last Stand* which explores his transition from a liberal to conservative stance and analyses  the impact of the 2024 election on global politics.  We delve into threats to democracy, Trump and Biden presidencies, demonization of Trump supporters, and the importance of critical dialogues on sensitive issues.  Drew analyses far-left ideologies and discusses concerns about democratic rights post-January 6 and looks at distortions of historical truths, and racial manipulation in politics.  He scrutinises the consequences of embracing socialist policies, government intervention, and challenges to the American dream posed by leftist agendas.  This interview highlights the erosion of foundational principles, the criminalization of patriotism, and the need for unified efforts to reclaim freedom and confront societal divisions. Will America vote to Save or Destroy their country come November?  Drew Allen, AKA ‘the Millennial Minister of Truth,' is the VP of client development at Publius PR, a premiere communications firm, where Allen has worked as a publicist for many of the biggest names in politics: Peter Navarro, Dr. Naomi Wolf, Dr. Ben Carson, Alan Dershowitz, and Kari Lake, to name a few. In addition to running PR Campaigns for some of the most recognizable names in politics, Allen is a widely published columnist, author, in-demand political analyst on radio and tv, and host of the popular Drew Allen Show podcast.

I'm delighted to have Drew Allen with me today, and I've been thoroughly engrossed in his book, America's Last Stand, over the last week. But Drew, thank you so much for joining us today. (Drew Allen) Hey, Peter, I've been looking forward to this, so thanks for having me. Not at all. It's a great book, and let me just bring it up on the screen. That's what people can find, America's Last Stand, Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024? 2024 and it's a huge question which not only has repercussions for you over in the US but has repercussions for us I think here where I am in the UK and across Europe. It is a global election I think the likes we have not seen before but we'll get into all of that. Drew, for or maybe your UK audience, w e're probably 55% UK, 45% US, and you're obviously a conservative author, columnist, and host of the Drew Allen Show podcast. But maybe you can introduce yourself to those of our audience who haven't come across you before we delve into the book. Well, sure. I'm a guy that should be a far-left liberal Democrat based on my resume, And that's the truth. I mean, you know, I was educated in Dallas, Texas, at an elitist all-male college preparatory school, high school. You know, that was far left. The Jesuits are notoriously left-leaning. And that was the case at school. All my friends were Democrats. Every single one of them were liberal Democrats. I went to Pepperdine for college, but I was a theater major. So Pepperdine is typically associated with a more conservative leaning, if that even exists in the academia anymore. It's still going left as well. But, I was a theater major. So, in the theater world, the acting world, again, I was the lone conservative, effectively. And then I moved to New York City as an actor. And it's a crazy story for another time, I'll write a book about it maybe. But, I ended up getting a job working for Marc Jacobs in fashion. And I moved to Milan, Italy, I speak Italian, and I opened the first retail store in Milan. I stayed there two and a half years, ended up moving back to L.A. eventually and continued acting, ended up producing a movie. I worked for Marc Jacobson managing some other stores in West Hollywood. And, you know, I got I got tired of Hollywood. Fast forward kind of to 2020 and all of that. I lost all my liberal Democrat friends over politics. Not my choice. Not my choice. Their choice. People that were in my wedding, Peter, my best man in my wedding, doesn't talk to me anymore because of 2020. And I wasn't a closeted conservative. That's the thing, too, it wasn't like I was going hiding in Hollywood and everywhere else. I mean, everyone knew what I thought, but it used to be that you could actually live together. And that's what's so scary, and we can get into it about what's happening today globally in the world, this true intolerance. And anyway, I ended up getting involved in politics after 2020. I became a actually I had a publicist and then I ended up becoming a publicist. So, you know, I do publicity for a lot of people, Tulsi Gabbard and Carrie Lake and Dr. Ben Carson. And I mean, there's a whole lot of, a lot of people that I do publicity for. And then also, because I didn't start out as a publicist, you know, I still write, I have my book, I have a podcast and I do interviews like this as well. And I'm deeply concerned about this country. And I never, I never swayed. That's the thing; I've always lived my life in the lion's den. That's why I went through the resume, not to bore everyone, but to help you understand that I've been around these people my whole life and I was not persuaded to join them. I actually was forced and fired to some extent. So, my point is everything I write about, everything I talk about, everything I do, all my positions, they're not just because somebody told me. They're not because I watched some TV host that's conservative tell me to do it. It's because I have been challenged my entire life on those positions and my ideas, and I have never been convinced otherwise. A hundred percent. I mean, the normal viewpoint has to be conservative on our culture and all the things that make it good and great. We had Pete Peterson from Pepperdine. I went over to see him two years ago and had him on the show and love what he is doing over in Pepperdine. But yet that's a whole other conversation. Well, let me pull out some of the things on the book. And obviously, the book is available everywhere, the links are in the description, whether the viewers are watching on any of the platforms or listening on the podcasting apps, everything is available there. But, you start off on just the introduction, saying that the 2024 presidential election is the most consequential election of our lifetime. Democrats have already framed the likely rematch between former President Donald Trump and An incumbent president, Joe Biden, or as I like to call him, the former VP, Joe Biden. That was a Stephen Crowder comment, but as an election that will determine whether or not American democracy lives or dies. And that's a broad stroke. But, I think you're buying on the money that this is one of the most key elections, certainly, that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Time and I love politics and always loved US politics, but this is the most consequential election you're buying all the money. Yeah, look, I mean, one of the reasons that I felt compelled to write this book is because, I understand human nature and reality. And that is that it's very hard for mankind, human beings, when they're living in the present, before it becomes history, and right past hindsight becomes 2020, it's very difficult to actually confront and understand from, you know, a space view looking down at the earth, what exactly is happening, how serious it is. That's what's so remarkable, by the way, about 1776, for example, and the founding fathers. They actually did understand what was at stake and they made a decision. And this is why I say, you know, what we're up against today is akin to 1776. Now, we're trying to resolve this problem with our democratic process, if you will, or constitutional republic. We are trying to vote to take back our destiny. And what's so dangerous, of course, is Democrats and rhinos, too. You know, the deep state, the Uni-party, it's all the same. People who represent the government and not the people. These individuals are trying to take away that peaceful means of taking back our destiny by prosecuting Trump and so on and so forth. So, that's what's so outrageous, but, you know, 1776, you know, you had Thomas Paine who wrote Uncommon Sense. And that was so consequential because, you know, you have to understand that back then all the colonists, the early Americans understood was, I mean, they were British subjects. They were loyal to the crown. They were British. I mean, that's the reality. And so for those people to make a decision that they were going to actually overturn that, fight against that and create a new nation was really big. And so that's what's wild. People have to understand about what people did back then, and it wasn't everybody, but it was enough people, obviously, to get that movement going. And so we need to understand that today because, look, we have way more distractions today. So we have, you know, Netflix, we have this fake economy where we're living on borrowed time and with printing trillions of dollars and so on and so all this nonsense. And we have immense propaganda that no one ever could have understood or fathomed in the past to try and convince you that what you experience with your own eyes and reality is not true. Perception becomes reality. So we have all these things we're up against. You could just go and turn on Netflix because it makes you feel better than having a conversation like this and discussing your responsibility in saving a culture, saving society and actually being truly progressive and maintaining those ideals that, you know, were revolutionary in America, which, of course, is that we, the people are master and those in government are servant. And this is what we're up against globally, Peter. It's not just the United States, although we are still the leader because we're such a massively important country. We have so much power. That's just the reality; so it does influence everyone else. But, everyone in the if you look at Great Britain, if you look at what's happening in London, if you look, just look across the Western world and you have a government wherever you are, politicians that believe that rights are not unalienable. They believe that your rights come from them. They believe that they are the master and you are a servant. And that is backwards. And so this is what we're fighting against. Are we going to say that we, the people, the citizen, you know, can make decisions for our own lives? Do we have freedom? Do we have self-determination? Or are we just going to vote and support slavery for mankind again? Because that's the quintessential what this boils down to in its essence. Well, I want to go through chapter one the real threat to democracy and goes through the attacks on trump and not only from Biden, but the deep state by and large, but chapter two you talk about are you better off under Biden presidency than you were under the Trump presidency and you give the quote from Reagan where he looked into the camera in that one debate with Jimmy Carter and asked her, are you better off today than you were four years ago? And of course, the answer is no. Now, I am amazed. Obviously, not there. I crossed the pond over here in London. But I wonder, how on earth has anyone decided to vote for Biden? You look at the polling and Trump ahead in the vast majority of polling. But my question is, how is anyone still deciding to put an axe beside Biden? Yeah, I mean, it's borderline insanity. Anyone who would do that. I mean, you're voting against your own self-interest by doing that. You're voting against your children's self-interest, your own self-interest, your country's self-interest. I mean, that is a vote. It's a cult vote. And as much as the left likes to project in this country and around the world, too, and try and say that, you know, MAGA and Trump's a cult, that couldn't be further from the truth. They need to look in the mirror because a cult is defined by, for example, somebody who would radically change their position simply because the party itself changes. So, this is the Democrat Party in America throughout its history. So, you know, one moment they say, for example, the abortion issue that they hope they can make this election about. But, you know, they'll take the abortion issue and one day safe, legal and rare. That's the mantra by Hillary Clinton, everyone else. And today, the party unanimously, unilaterally, all supports effectively infanticide. And the Democrat voter, not the politician, simply adopts that new position as its own. So, obviously, even 10 years ago, the Democrat voter could agree and understand that there were two genders, two sexes, male and female. You know, you would have been like screaming, you know, from the rooftops if you were to suggest a decade ago that it was appropriate for little Johnny, your 10-year-old boy, to chop off his pee-pee without your permission. And today, the Democrat Party supports that, and the Democrat voter simply either supports it or just pretends like it's not an issue. That's interesting that we are having that debate in the UK and in many European countries, and we had Billboard Chris on recently. Sadly, the US are still not having that conversation, but I hope and pray that you follow, because is that sexual abuse of children has to be key. But chapter four, you title fascists and semi-fascists, and you talk about, obviously, under Trump, there was peace, that he didn't start any war, and that's something our commentators seemingly want to forget. But, this whole thing on Trump supporters, and you in the book, you talk about Biden claimed that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our public. I don't think we've ever seen that before, where a whole group of society have been called extremists, fascists. This is quite new language. And of course, the deplorables. I'm an honour to be an adopted deplorable, maybe from over here. But, is that hatred of a section of society. And I don't think we've ever seen that before. No, that's never had any place in the United States of America, certainly. I mean, this is a big turning point in our history for a president of the United States. I mean, he's a puppet, but, you know, whatever. Joe Biden, the diaper man himself. Well, this, of course, is is something that is unprecedented. And this is, you know, the Democrats love to get ahead. They basically, the Democrats use this tactic basically just going and accusing Republicans and MAGA of what they're guilty of so that when MAGA turns around and points out the reality that they are that, they've already come out of the gate. It's kind of like putting themselves in bubble wrap. But, you know, that's something that Hitler would say about Jews, for example. That is genocidal talk, by the way. It's always the precursor. You can look in African countries and elsewhere. Us versus them, right? I mean, this is the precursor to a genocide. You dehumanize the other side. And that's they know what they're doing by doing that. And, you know, I mean, that's the we saw this in 22. What's so scary is that you have Democrat supporters. They are people who have been succumbed to the poison of tyranny. They themselves have a tyrannical mindset themselves. And they, you know, with the worldwide lockdowns and COVID and all of that, every country saw this. There was a group of people that turned vicious towards the people that turned out to be right. Like myself, like the writers of the Great Barrington Declaration, for example, these brilliant individuals who pointed out what science had already backed in the past, that mass, for example, didn't work. The social distancing was more harmful than it was good and that you should have a targeted approach. Well, we were obviously cancelled. Those are the days where you're getting booted off of Twitter back then and everything else. And, you know, you had people in this country that would wish harm upon you if you disagreed with the talking point dictated from the far left that wanted to use lockdowns to seize liberty. And they would happily see you hauled off to prison over that. J6, that's another perfect example. The vast majority of those people who had been prosecuted, who were sitting in jails even, they weren't violent protesters. And in fact, we know that many were invited into the Capitol building through open doors and their crime was selfies, misdemeanour offenses, and they've had their rights suspended unconstitutionally in this country. And the Democrats support that. So, here's what I say, Peter, I, and I actually, everyone listening, maybe you'll feel this way too. I am far less afraid of the tyrants in government than I am the tyrants that are my neighbors. Because, the government itself is a small minority of a population. They understand this. Even the Nazis going back to Germany, if they didn't have the complicity of German citizens, they never could have gotten away with what they did, for example. I'm very fearful of my neighbors. If the FBI were to show up at my house, because I did this interview with you, Peter, which is not, it's becoming less and less absurd. Certainly if Biden and Democrats win in 2024, my neighbors would actually be cheering because I live in California, cheering as I was hauled off to jail for committing the crime of. Speaking freely. No, we're seeing that more, and we've seen exactly the same people willing, certainly during COVID, willing to report neighbors to the police, but we haven't gone down the full rabbit hole, as you have, of seeing that political change. Can I, on chapter five, the myth of the big switch, and I find that intriguing, a couple of lines from the chapter, slavery, Jim Crow and discrimination were all championed by the left, by the Democrat Party. But perhaps no lie is more egregious or offensive, insulting to basic intelligence than that of the big switch. According to Democratic myth, in 1964, the Democrat Party miraculously became the party of civil rights and blacks in America, while the Republican Party suddenly became the party of anti-black racism in America. I think we have actually seen the same turn the same twist the same lie here in the UK where we see the conservative party so-called conservative party conservative for name only who actually stand for basic values that the majority of those from a black or a Asian community actually will stand for, because they are traditionally conservative and yet, it's labor who on the left who seem to have vacuumed up those votes. But tell us more about the Democrat Party rebranding to being the party of actually the migrant party or the market party of the black and that's the opposite of history. Yeah, look, it's the greatest, most successful marketing campaign, PR campaign in world history. I say this as somebody who's, you know, from involved in the PR world. I mean, it's amazing that it took root. You know, to make an analogy first, it'd be like if the Nazi party, you know, say they weren't forced to disband after World War Two. It would be like after they killed six million Jews in the Holocaust, they were allowed to survive and in the subsequent elections, they claimed that, you know, they nominated, for example, some Jewish person to lead the Nazi party. And they said, look, we are the de facto supporters of Jews and all of our rivals and opponents are anti-Semitic. You would laugh, I mean, it would be absurd. That is exactly what happened in the United States of America. The Democrat party, it's not just that they were racist, it's that they still are racist. OK, it's that it's not that their policies were racist. It's that they're veiled in anti-racism. But actually, they are the greatest obstacle that black Americans and minorities, for example, in the United States still face. So, the entire history of America, right, the Republican Party was born. And look, I'm not defending the Republican Party, by the way, because we got, you know, mushy losers in the Republican Party. But I'm just talking about what the Republican Party historically stands for. They're not the racist party. Many of them are part of the unit party, but that's a different conversation. Republicans tried to pass civil rights legislation for decade after decade after decade. And they were opposed by Democrats, the same Democrats, in fact, that would later claim to be the proponents of anti-racism and friends of blacks in America. What happened was 1964, basically, let me do it this way. Very short history lesson, I think is important, because Democrats depend upon the black vote in the United States of America. They hitched their wagon to the black vote, not just the black vote, but like getting all of it. It's crazy! So, you got to go back to Herbert Hoover. Herbert Hoover got a majority of the black vote and the Great Depression happened under Herbert Hoover. It wasn't Herbert Hoover's fault, but the Great Depression happened and obviously he got blamed. Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the election against Herbert Hoover when Herbert Hoover ran for re-election. And since that moment Democrats have gone after the black vote and fought to keep the black vote, because they decided early on that because blacks were concentrated in these city centers, if they could get the majority of blacks to vote for them, they could win elections. And they knew back then, before you had unlimited illegal immigration, everything else, that as long as they control the black votes, I mean, that was a key to that. If they lost the black vote, they couldn't win. So, you go to 1964, they've opposed civil rights legislation, even though they're promising to be friends of blacks. And you had LBJ, Lyndon Baines Johnson, who became president because Kennedy was assassinated. Well, he signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was actually Kennedy's bill. Now, they had a supermajority in Congress, which means they did not need a single Republican vote to pass any piece of legislation. But they couldn't pass it, because Democrats in the South would not support the legislation. So, Republicans actually were responsible for getting that legislation passed. And LBJ knew then that he was only doing that to virtue signal to blacks to keep that vote intact, because at this moment in history, blacks were starting to flee the Democrat Party. So, they had to do something and act. And so they replaced the Jim Crow laws with welfare and welfare is slavery, not just for black Americans, but for any American, any person in mankind's history, because the intention of welfare from politicians isn't actually to help you, it's to inhibit you, it's to enslave you. It doesn't help you escape poverty, it prevents you from escaping poverty. And this is what the Democrats have done. So, it's all a sham. Everything Democrats do is about poverty. Political power and control, that's it. It's all a big fraud operation. And Democrats and that's why I read this chapter, because blacks are fleeing the Democrat Party right now. And it's a threat to them. And I want blacks to know and I want other Americans to know and I want everyone in the world to know what the Democrats are guilty of and what they've done and how absurd it is for them to claim that they're the friend of anybody. They're the only friend of themselves in politics. 100% and we've had Brian Strachan talking about the walk away movement, and it's exciting to see that happening as people realise the shallowness of the Democrat position, but there are two other chapters that kind of pigeonhole each other, or bookmark each other and that's chapter 6: Black Votes Matter and chapter 8 The Democratic Party's Racism Industrial Complex. And it's similar here in the UK that it seems though there is an agenda to actually stir up racial tensions. And it seems that these parties are looking for colour in everything. And by that, they are then stirring up a certain agenda, a certain narrative, and actually doing votes on that. We have elections today as we record this in the UK. And this race bidding seems to be a massive part of politics on the left. Yeah. I mean, look, you have politicians, whether it's Sadiq Khan in London or it's Democrats here in the United States of America, and they can't run on their record, because their record by design creates misery. And so what they need to do, it's divide and conquer. Communists did this, Marxists do this, proletariat, bourgeoisie, all that sort of thing. It's the same thing here, just different names. What's happening in America, of course, is they're creating as many victim classes as they can. Then they present themselves as the unique saviors. You guys are all victims and you can't escape your victimhood unless you vote for Democrats. I am your champion. I am your savior. You need me. Vote for me. You know, they're creating rights where they don't exist. They're saying, you know, rights are being taken away when no rights are being taken away at all. So all of these things are intended to divide society up so they can come in and pick them off and play to the crowd; that's what's happening. That's why, you know, I mean, it gets, it's a little bit more complex, because money gets involved too. So for example, you know, the gender theory, for example, is a monstrosity, obviously, anti-scientific, creating confusion in children. And it's destroying society because you need strong men and strong women. And they're getting rid of that. They're coming in between parents and their children, and they're getting rid of tradition, values, and so on and so forth. And so it starts that way. But then with hormone therapy, just for example, just like the COVID vaccine stuff, it's an industry now. So, you have an entire group of doctors out there that are monsters themselves. And they promote this because there's a lot of money to be made in hormone therapy, for example. So, you know, it kind of of snowballs, if you will, but with critical race theory, in particular with race relations in America. In that chapter it's important that I try to explain to people that just like Ford builds cars, the Democrat Party builds racism and racists. And so they tell children that aren't racist. I mean, no child is born racist. That's fundamentally false. That is instilled in them by men and women who have had their hearts corrupted over time in this world that we live in. And so to tell some child that you're a victim because of your skin color or your oppressor, if you're white, for example, I mean, it's morally reprehensible that you would do that, but that is what they were doing to children. And on top of that now, of course, as I mentioned, you've got gender theory as well to further create. And that's what academia does all the way from, that's why they want universal pre-K in America. It's not about helping kids and everything else, it's about getting control of your kids as early as possible. And these public schools, the universities, all they are, it's like going to a terrorist boot camp, you know, for Al Qaeda, except here, you know, they're just creating new Democrat potential voters. You're a hundred percent. And yeah, that you've a whole chapter on critical race theory and DEI, diverse equity inclusion, which really has turned into didn't earn it. I think that's really more or what that best thumbs it up I saw that, but chapter you touched on the whole thing on welfare and slavery, I think that's very specific for me in the UK and the European context. And we have seen that, but you talk about, obviously, Lyndon Johnson starting modern day slavery. And I guess encapsulating Americans and telling them, don't worry, we will look after you. You don't need to look after yourself, the government is here. And I think it was Reagan who said the worst words in the English language are, don't worry, the government is here to help or something like that. Yeah, he said he said the worst. I forget how many words I'll pull a Joe Biden if I try and think of it now. But you have to count them off. The worst words or scariest words are I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Yes, exactly. We've done across Europe, but you're adopting that socialism that we have in Europe. That means that you don't need to work because we will actually look after you. We will bring in a universal basic income. We will bring in subsidized health care. We will bring in free education and nothing is free. Someone has to pay for it at the end, and maybe, I think you will learn that when you've got the cancellation of debts by Biden. Someone has to pay for those billions in the end and it ends up being the taxpayer. Yeah, I mean, this is one of those absurd lies that they've told for so long that people believe, which I mean, one is that the government is your friend. I mean, that's insane to believe these days as well. Well, but it's that something's free, that you can get a free lunch, that anything the government provides is free. I mean, everything the government has must be stolen from the taxpayer first. And the idea that, you know, but, you know, this is the thing, too, the Democrat preys on. The greatest vices of mankind. So, obscene selfishness, for example. So, the college student will say, yeah, make that person. The rich don't pay their fair share is perfect. I mean, this sums up the insipid nature of the Democrat party and leftism and socialism also. Also, it is always to foment division in society. And I ask people, OK, the rich don't pay their fair share. Now, firstly, that's fundamentally not true. The rich pay far more than their fair share, an obscene amount of money. And many people pay no taxes at all, of course. But even that aside, the idea that any American citizen whining about, you know, some millionaire, billionaire having more money than they do, the idea that taking money from them, the government taking money from them is going to somehow make you rich is absolutely stupid. No American citizen, no citizen on the planet has ever gotten rich because the government took more money from the rich. It doesn't work that way, and obviously the government cannot create wealth. They cannot create anything. Now there's certain things, but you have to have a reasonable mind to make the exceptions. When it came to World War II and it becomes vital, for example, that you defeat the axis of evil, if you will, okay, industry gets basically usurped to some extent, and it's all focused on winning a war. I mean, that's about survival in some way. So, you know, but this is the problem. We live in an age of unreason. We live in an age where people cannot think for themselves. They can't carve out exceptions. They can't comprehend any kind of complex or even simple problems that they may face and overcome. It's really, I mean, That's why I have a chapter in there called The American Dark Age. That's where I would point out that if you look at any facet of society right now, is there anything that hasn't been corrupted by the left, by the socialists, by the Marxists? There's not. Culturally, economically, everything is in decline, and that is because of a very sick, perverse ideology that is not new. It's not progressive. It has been around since the beginning of time. Okay, since kings and emperors and everything else. And that's what we're fighting against now. But, we have a situation where in the West in many ways. We've had it so good for so long We've become soft and obviously. We don't, we don't understand ourselves how bad it's going to be because you know we're not like the patriots of 1776 that actually endured something and by the way I would argue that what we're experiencing right now King George iii, peter, was a much more benevolent monarch than the democrat party and Joe Biden. I would take King George the third; he taxed us less he was nicer than the these criminals that are running the country today. I love that you guys complained about your tax on t your two percent tax and now you get Biden, so no other comment to that. No But you talk about looking at the American dark age, and I mean, the American dream is known all over the world, and I talked to Xi Van Fleet the other day, and she talked about moving from America or from China to American and that was a dream. Everyone wanted the American dream, the ability to work hard and achieve what is impossible in many other countries in the world. And yet, it's turned around from the American dream to the American dream is now you sit on your backside, and actually you're just thrown incentives or money by the government, and it's sad looking as a foreigner thinking actually the American dream is one thing the ability to achieve and accomplish and that's now been turned on its head. Yeah, look the American dream doesn't exist anymore, and I'll tell you why, it's not because it never existed, it's because the left in this country has been attacking and trying to prevent the American dream from being possible anymore. The American dream is very simple. It's not just an American dream. I think it's a human dream that you can, through self-determination and with your own work ethic and intellects and abilities, you can make a better life for yourself. That is it. That is the dream, that there is not somebody out there allowed to impede in some obscene way your ability to improve your own life, that if you want to improve it, you can improve it. It's not the guarantee that everyone's going to be rich, but you can be better off. You can improve your circumstances. That's it. And so in America, was it having the home in the suburbs and the picket fence? At one point, that was it. That's fine, that represented something. And it is Democrat policies. It is left-wing policies that are preventing that and making that out of reach. It's nothing wrong with America. It's nothing wrong with capitalism. The problem is the politicians. politicians it is their policies that have made home ownership unaffordable that dream is gone for so many Americans that are my age and younger they can't afford a home they can barely pay their rent. They can't even buy groceries anymore and the left, of course; this is after you read my book read a book called rules for radicals, not you peter, but you know the audience like, read rules for radicals by Saul Alinsky. I read it once a year because I want to know every year, and make sure it's in my brain, what these Democrats are doing, because it's not secretive what they're doing. They talk about it. They've written about it. And what they do with destroying the American dream, for example. Is, according to Saul Alinsky, you create a problem. You create the problem, okay? And then you have a piece of legislation. You have a so-called solution prepared, and you present yourself as the sole person who is uniquely qualified to solve that problem that you created. Of course, you're not ever solving the problem. It's just a way to leapfrog into additional tyranny to get what you want. So, you know, for example, you know, they will create tax policies where they make it, you know, look, when you tax the rich, for example, in corporations or raise corporate taxes, at the end of the day, the consumer and the employee are the ones who suffer. So, their taxation policies claiming to the rich don't pay their fair share, that actually creates less employment, less opportunity, lower paychecks, and it actually ends up benefiting the rich in the end. And then they'll come along after they've done that, and they'll say, again, the rich don't pay their fair share. We need to do this. So, they're creating situations in America, and then they're blaming Republicans for it. Look at California where I live. You can't blame a Republican for anything. Who do you blame? But they won't blame Democrats because people in the state belong to a cult. Well, I was twice in L.A. 2022, and I probably never return to L.A. After seeing what the Democrats. I wish I was there when Reagan was actually the governor and it would have been actually a beautiful state. But at chapter 16, what are you voting for? And you start by saying perhaps no singular human being in U.S. history has been subjected to greater and more relentless political persecution than President Trump. Certainly no U.S. president has been unfairly treated by the media, the Democrat Party, and even establishment Republicans, nor has any president been the subject of greater unwarranted hatred than President Trump. Now, in the UK, we may laugh at Trump derangement syndrome, but you have to live through it and you have to actually engage with people who have this absolute hatred of someone who is so successful in business and has walked away from that and given up a lot to actually enter politics. And people don't necessarily get that. But it's, yeah, who are you voting for? Tell us about that because this hatred doesn't really stem from anything. It simply stems from the media pushing a narrative that tells you you must hit this individual because he's been successful and because he's not Obama or he's not Biden. Yeah. This point in this chapter ties into an earlier one in which I say, you know, if you don't know whether to vote for Trump or Biden, then you aren't American. And of course, I'm making fun of Biden. I'm serious, actually, but I'm also making fun of Biden who said, you know, you aren't black if you don't know whether to vote for me or Trump. Again, racist, right? Right. You know, most of what has been said about Trump is not even true. And that which may have a kernel of truth, if it's bad, pales in comparison to what Joe Biden or any other Democrat are actually guilty of themselves. And so, obviously, I go and dispel some of those things and help people understand you have a propagandist media that will just invent lies about Trump in an effort to. Because, at the end of the day, all Democrats are running on is the fact that they want to present to the American people and others around the world that Joe Biden's a nicer guy than Trump. That's what it comes down to. In the case that's happening right now, this criminal trial in New York, which is a disgrace about so-called hush money, there's no crime there. And I get into it in the book and I explain all that very specifically and how absurd this is. But the point is, there's a trial going on and no crime was committed. So, this jury is being asked what? They're being asked to vote on whether or not they like Trump or not. That's what it comes down to. That's what all of this is about. And they're hoping that they can convince the American voter, for example, that Trump is just a monster and you just can't possibly vote for him. They did this in 2020 as well, they've done it before, and it's fundamentally not true. I mean, I got to tell you, I have so much respect. I don't understand a person, even if you dislike something else about Trump, I don't understand how you can have respect for Trump for what he has suffered for the American people. This is a man who has it all. He doesn't have to do this. And I guarantee you, by the way, if he would just bow out like Nixon did, it would all go away. Or at one point, it would have gone away. Maybe, they've gone across the Rubicon now in terms of their brains; I think they probably have. But, they just can't believe that they can't defeat this man and that the American people won't abandon him. And this is somebody, I mean, I ask people to try and imagine for a moment, Just being in Trump's situation, in one of these situations for a day, he's got multiple lawsuits against him. They're trying to bankrupt him and his family. Imagine the pressure you would feel. I wouldn't be on your show, Peter. I wouldn't be doing PR. I'd be curled up in a ball somewhere crying, because the weight of the world would be crushing me. I wouldn't know what to do. I'd be concerned about my future and my family, and most people cave. Dave, this is a remarkable human being who was built for this moment. I am not saying he's Jesus Christ, by the way, because no man is Jesus Christ. But, he is the right man at the right time in American history. And we are so lucky to have someone that is willing to stand there amidst all these slings and arrows coming at him. And the problem in America, it's not Trump. It's a bunch of weak-kneed Republicans and cowards who won't take any slings and arrows for the man who will go to prison for them. The awesome privilege of, well, seeing him speak three times, but twice this year up in Pennsylvania and South Carolina and actually meeting him and someone who has the energy, who can talk for an hour and a half. Biden can do maybe five minutes and still he's reading the teleprompter. Exactly what it says; completely different individuals. That energy that Trump has is infectious, exciting and something I haven't seen in politics, certainly in the UK. Let me just finish off with the issue on patriotism. Your last two chapters touching on that. And Chapter 17, the criminalization of patriotism. And this is something that you're seeing in the U.S., we are seeing in Europe. I mean, the EU are trying to criminalize any pride of nation states. You give the story of a 12-year-old boy in Colorado who kicked out of class passed for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. And of course, that is the picture, the don't tread on me, that snake. You've got the front page of your book. But it is that, and that of course has history back in the War of Independence, and you go through that in the chapter. It's kind of where does patriotism lie, because under President Trump, it was America first, which should be what every leader of every country is about, putting their country first. And Biden seems to be about America last. Let's do everyone else in America comes last, American jobs, American benefits. You're at the end of the queue after we get through everyone else. Just let's face all that criminalization of patriotism, that the courts going after individuals, the education system, the media. If you love your country, you are the enemy. That's seemingly what everyone in the media is summing up patriotism. Yeah, look, patriotism is so dangerous to tyrants. I'll give you an example that the Biden administration a couple of years ago, the National Archives slapped a warning label, dangerous content label on our founding documents, on the Declaration of Independence. Okay, look, tyrants have to, just like religion, they have to destroy patriotism. You cannot permit a citizenry to feel patriotic because patriotism is one of the greatest bulwarks we have to tyranny taking over a country. If you love your country and you feel unity, right, it's the antithesis of victimhood. Democrats want to divide and conquer. What does patriotism do? It unites a citizenry. It gives them a reason to love their country and love themselves and love one another and bring them together. And that is problematic for people that want to rule over you. OK, not just because you have numbers and that you're united in that sense, but there are a million different reasons. And so this is why for a long time, the left has decades, decades, days before I was Trying to make people feel guilty to be American. That's why the Democrat Party, for example, drudges up the history of slavery. Slavery they want you to feel rotten about your country, because you can't convince a population to destroy itself and give tyrants permission to rebuild if they believe that their country is great, if they believe their country is good, and decent, and moral, and so that's what we have going on here. And I am urging people that if you get anything from them from the book; lean on the memory of what previous Americans have done for us, the sacrifice, whether it was the founding fathers and the American, the revolutionaries, whether it was Abraham Lincoln in 1861. I mean, this is a moment that is as significant to our history and world history as 1776 and 1861. That is not hyperbole, t hat is the truth that I need people to understand. And I want them desperately to understand, but I don't want them to be negative about it. I want them to feel a sense of joy because our ancestors have overcome these obstacles. And I want people to be thanking God that, hey, I am alive right now to meet this moment in history because all we have is ourselves and we are enough. You are enough, whether you're in London or New York City or Chicago or Dallas or some rural place in the UK or America, you have the capacity to save and reverse course, to reclaim your destiny, which is a shared destiny of humanity, to live a life of freedom, free of oppression by your government, these elites that are the most inferior among us who are ruling over us. And so at the end of the day, my message is one of optimism, because I believe in us. I believe in you,I believe in myself, but we have to understand history. We have to be devoted because this is never going to go away. As long as mankind walks this earth, there will be tyrants, the Caesars and Napoleons and so on and so forth, the, you know, Sadiq Khans and the Joe Biden's that are going to try and steal your liberty. So, you know, this is something that's lifelong, and we just have to change our outlook and be a little bit more active. We can't just leave it to the government to take care of us, because they're a necessary evil, not a necessary good. It true thank you so much for your time, I've thoroughly enjoyed the book America's Last Stand and it does give that overview of the issues which you're facing but you can transcribe that over to the UK or Europe, and it's the same battles against common sense and freedom that we are also facing. So, thank you so much for joining us today and of course the book is available as paperback, audiobook, kindle, however you want to get it it's available on all those formats. So, thanks for your time today, Drew. Thanks, Peter.

James Whitcomb Riley (born October 7, 1849; died July 22, 1916) was author of numerous beloved poetry volumes, and widely known for books such as The Old Swimmin'-Hole and 'Leven More Poems, Riley Child-Rhymes, Out to Old Aunt Mary's, and An Old Sweetheart. Born in Indiana in 1849, he was drawn to poetry even before he was able to read. Neglectful of his studies, Riley preferred to take walks in the countryside, read books of his own choosing, and create rhymes, the first of which he sent to his young friends on home-made valentines.A prolific writer and important contributor to children's literature, Riley published more than 50 volumes during his lifetime, many of which were popular successes. His poetry is especially prized for its sometimes whimsical reflection of small-town America and he is remembered for his insight and humor by children and adults alike. As was noted in Indiana Authors and Their Books, 1816-1916, “No American poet—those patriarchs of New England included—has thus far caught the popular fancy, has thus far enjoyed the voluntary following, that was and is his.”-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

With Xi Jinping's visit to San Francisco, California officially completed its transformation into a communist hellhole. No American flags to be seen. No protests from the LGBT and pro-Palestinian crowd against China's human rights abuses. Just Chinese flags flying and Chinese people in the street celebrating the arrival of a communist dictator. Texas A&M is defying the diversity ban ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott as the university continues to hire based on ideological conformity and racial preference. Chuck Schumer referenced the Hamas attacks on October 7 as “January 7,” and Nancy Pelosi said Biden's list of achievements “goes on and on” if you were wondering how the octogenarians in Congress are doing. Nikki Haley is being roasted after saying she wants to verify every person on social media with their full names. Of course Haley claimed this was for the sake of national security, but it's a slippery slope that goes against the fundamental right of free speech. Ilhan Omar says real faith leaders “oppose violence,” proving once again she's never read the Koran.

On this week's program, we bring you a vital community conversation on "Firearms in America: The most important test of our democracy," that was held at the Filson Historical Society (1310 S 3rd St) on September 12, 2023, when the Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute at UofL presented author Ryan Busse. No American freedom is more powerful or symbolic than our right to own firearms because no other freedom has the potential to so immediately impact the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of our fellow citizens. Hence, this immensely powerful freedom requires an equally immense responsibility, and how effective we are at balancing the two may well determine whether our democracy can survive. This presentation by Ryan Busse, a former firearms industry executive and author of Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America, is an examination of the realities of guns in America by someone who is simultaneously a proud gun owner and very concerned with the ramifications of our current national imbalance. This Theodore Sedgwick Distinguished Lecture Series event was free and open to all. Watch the presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXvoPGXIVbI

"No American should fear that they're going to lose their bank account or their payment processing because of their religious or political views," says Jeremy Tedesco, Senior Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. Debanking is the newest form of cancel culture threatening society. Tedesco joined Better for America to shed light on how financial institutions like JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America have taken ESG to a radical level, resulting in the unjust closure of ordinary American accounts based on baseless allegations. This leaves only one logical explanation: They cancel those who express beliefs contrary to the left's desired agenda.

No American is buying that President Trump is a criminal. Mark interviews Political Strategist Rollins, Mark and Ed talked about the first Republican debate Rollins said Trump should not attend. They also talked about the candidates Ed helped get elected in the past.

Last time we spoke about the allied drive to Munda and General Sasaki's major counter offensive. General Wing began the drive upon Munda Point, but General Sasaki predicted many of the routes the Americans would take and ordered his forces to create tedious roadblocks and defensive positions to foil their advances. The allied progress was brutally slow, despite having the enormous advantage in artillery, naval and aerial bombardment support. The Japanese pillboxes were proving to be devastating to the allied infantry, requiring tanks to be brought over to New Georgia. When things began to halt, suddenly General Sasaki performed a counter offensive seeing a daring attack directed at the headquarters of the 43rd division. The attack nearly broke the lines of communications, but luckily the Fijian commandos outperformed the japanese at their own game of night fighting. Lastly the IJN suffered terrible losses to allied aircraft collapsing their reinforcement efforts.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  The battles in New Guinea and New Georgia were particularly bloody, in all honesty things had begun to really escalate when you look at it from a numerical point of view. Over on Green Hell, General Savige had just seized Mubo, the Pimple, Green Hill and Observation hill taking them out of Japanese hands. The Japanese had withdrawn to Komiatum while simultaneously trying to defend the Bobdubi ridge area against Brigadier Hammer's 15th brigade. General Savige, still unaware Salamaua was not the main target and in fact was being used as a deception to cover for Lae, continued his offensive, hoping to drive the enemy north of the Francisco River. Over on the other side, General Nakano's 1st battalion of the 80th regiment had managed to  push Companies B and A off their ambush position on the Bench Cut Track. They were forced to withdraw towards Gwaibolom by July 10th. Meanwhile to the south Major Warfe launched an attack along Goodview junction. Captain Wally Meares of C platoon marched up Stephens Track while Captain John Winterflood's B platoon took Walpoles track. Lt Hugh Egan created a blocking position using just 7 men around 800 meters south of Goodview Junction. The platoons went to work advancing down the steep ridges dislodging Japanese from outposts. Captain Meares platoon were continuing along the Stephens track when they suddenly encountered strong resistance from some Japanese who took a position along the Tambu Saddle which is at a junction between Stephens track and the Mule track. After engaging the Japanese, the platoon was forced to bypass them moving along the Mule track towards the Komiatum track where they ran into more Japanese. Meares men killed 13 Japanese on the Mule track before deciding to withdraw back to the Stephens track and dug in. The Japanese had surprised Warfe's men. The forces they were running into were mainly the 1st and 2nd companies of the 66th battalion along with Araki's HQ staff who had been on the run from Mubo to Komiatum. The Japanese tried to press on with a counter attack aimed at Winterflood's B platoon. The Japanese tossed mortar and machine gun fire, but received terrible losses to the commandos, forced to pull back up Walpole track. The next day Warfe ordered Winterflood's platoon to make a frontal assault, but quickly found themselves pinned down by machine gun fire and during the night received a heavy counter attack that forced them to dig in. The Japanese continued to block the way, covering their withdrawal further east, but all the mayhem prompted General Savige to relieve the commandos by tossing up companies C and B of the 2/5th who adopted the name Bennett force as they were led by Captain Cam Bennett. The rest of the 2/5th marched up the Buigap. Meanwhile General Herring was dealing with a supply issue for the 3rd Australian division. The 3rd division was too far from the coast and thus had been relying on supply via airdrops, which we have seen during this series to not be particularly accurate and quite inadequate. The supply problems mounted more when the decision was made to target Lae as such a campaign required building up reserve dumps. Warfe's men were critically low on supplies; the 58/59th had nearly used up all the supplies they received, being brought up via the Missim Track and from airdrops. Getting further and further away from the source of supplies and with declining carrier capacity, Warfe's men were reaching starvation point. Further back, Companies A and C of the 2/6th battalion got drafted the job of moving the supplies from Mubo to Buigap creek. General Herring considered it extremely difficult, but not impossible to maintain further units in the Salamaua area, if they were closer to the coasts. To solve the problem General Herring designated Tambu Bay as a new coastal base for supplies and it would also help as an artillery position. And thus, the 3rd battalion, 162nd regiment of Major Archibald Roosevelt landed at Nassau Bay back on July 12th commencing with their coastal advance. They were accompanied by Brigadier General Ralph Coane's artillery that had landed prior to them. Yet their advance would begin in an extremely confused and chaotic manner. The question of command was at the core of the issue, General Fuller had decided to separate units such as Archibald Roosevelts from the MacKechnie Force, and thus they were now placed under the command of the Coane Force. General Herring was forced to intervene, placing the Coane Force under General Savige. At the same time, Colonel MacKechnie was relieved of his command because Fuller felt that he had favored the Australians over the Americans. To dig depper into this mess, what occurred was General Savige and Colonel MacKechnie were both unaware that two-thirds of the 162nd regiment had been allocated to the Coane Force when General Herring sent the a confusing message to try and clarify things “all units MACK force are under operational control of 3 Aust Div”. Troubles began at Moten ordered Major Roosevelt to advance north, but Roosevelt had also been told by General Fuller that he was not under Australian command. Thus Roosevelt bluntly replied to Moten “For your information I obey no orders except those from my immediate superior”. Then MacKechnie tried to smooth things over with Moten when he was informed of Fuller's position. He apologized for Roosevelt's message, and tried to speak about how great all the Australian/American cooperation was going. Fuller and Herring then tried to clarify the situation by placing the Coane Force under General Savige, but Fuller also decided to dismiss MacKechnie, mostly because he had relinquished command of his men to the Australians and thus had failed to protect American interests. As I say on my personnel channel, often when talking about China's Warlords in the 1920's, this is some kindergarten bullshit. Back to the action at hand, the Coane Force was being aided by a Papuan company who were scouting ahead of the Americans. They managed to confirm that Tambu Bay and the Dot Inlet were occupied and fortified by the Japanese. A platoon of the 5th Sasebo SNLF and the 3rd battalion, 66th regiment were holding a position on Tambu Bay while the remnants of the 3rd battalion, 102nd regiment were on a ridge overlooking the bay, which would later be named Roosevelt Ridge. On July 18th, Roosevelt led the troops with Companies L and I taking the lead, guided by two Papuan platoons. L Company with a Papuan company advanced along an inland track while K Company likewise did so along the coast. K Companies's Papuan guides hit a Japanese outpost south of Boisi on July 18th. On the morning of the 20th, the Papuan platoon managed to kill four Japanese before K Company helped destroy the outpost. By the 20th they seized Boisi and Roosevelt with the others approached the Tambu bay. Roosevelt had Coane's artillery support, they brought up four 25 pounders of the 2/6th Australian field regiment originally placed at Nassau Bay along with 2 batteries of the 218th American field artillery battalion, 8 75mm guns from north Salus, a battery of the 205th American field artillery battalion and 4 105mm guns. Under the cover the artillery they attacked the enemy, but they were met with heavy mortar fire coming from Roosevelt Ridge. Roosevelt Ridge extended westwards from the sea for nearly 2000 yards, forming kind of bulwark that shielded the northern end of Tambu Bay. Thus Tambu Bay could not be secured unless the ridge was taken first. The Australian broadcasting commission correspondent, Peter Hemery described the ridge like this “a piece of old style razer blade jutting into the sea”. According to some Japanese sources they had this to say of it “The area around Boisi had a lay of land most suitable to the arrest of the enemy advancing northward along the coast” General Nakano had also decided to reinforce the ridge with 250 men of the 1st battalion, 115th regiment, but of course this came at the coast of Salamaua's defense. By this point the bulk of the 102nd regiment was at the Malolo-buang coastal area and the bulk of the 115th regiment, the 2nd Maizuru SNLF, two companies of the 5th Sasebo SNLF and the 14th field artillery regiment were at Salamaua, around 150 men in total. On the other side, after the fall of Mubo Brigadier Moten had the men advance north. The Bennet Force took over Goodview Junction; Companies A and D of the 2/5th advanced to Mount Tambu. Mount Tambu was the highest feature along the route between Mubo and Salamaua. It consisted of a series of razorback ridges covered in dense jungle, ideal for camouflage pillboxes. Its area was defended by roughly 700 Japanese from the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 66th regiment led by Lt Colonel Fukuzo Kimura and Major Sakai Sugiyama. On July 16th, Captain Mick Walter led 60 men of Company A up the steep track leading to the south crest of Mount Tambu. Walter led the men to storm the two forward knolls, taking the Japanese by complete surprise. The two knolls were captured, but during the night the Japanese counterattacked in force. The Japanese crawled up the knolls through some heavy undergrowth before they unleashed mortars and mountain gun fire. Walters men however had captured some Japanese pillboxes upon the two knolls and thus the turn tables. 8 counterattacks were tossed at Walters men, each repulsed with heavy losses, around 39 casualties for the Australians and 350 for the Japanese. The following day, D company came up to help the Australian defenders, bringing much needed mortars. They dug in on a knoll around 300 yards back on the track. Alongside D company also came much needed supplies and an additional platoon to reinforce his men who he deployed on his western flank.  On July 18th, Walter ordered an advance going northwest in an attempt to secure the southern portion of Mount Tambu. The advance was spearheaded by Lance Corporal Jackson who alongside his comrades tossed grenades into a Japanese pillbox. Jackson then stormed inside killing 3 Japanese with this Tommy gun. Alongside Jackson, mortar and mountain gun fire aided Walters men to gain 80 additional yards, securing the southern portion of Mount Tambu. They could advance no further however as it became much more difficult from this position as the Japanese basically were encircling them upon razer back ridge to their north. Walter would write later on “we dug in on the new ground and shortened our perimeter to the narrowing plateau”. For this action the Australians paid with 6 lives, 13 wounded while the Japanese lost 82. At this point Walter had D company with one of his platoon holding the western flank; A company held the northern knoll and two platoons from D company held the eastern knolls. The Japanese had been devastated, losing hundreds of men and allied artillery was becoming a nightmare. Captain Newman's C Company of the 162nd battalion had come to a junction of the Buigap and Bui Eo. From there a reconnaissance patrol found suitable artillery positions northwest of the junction. With the help of native carriers and 80 men of the 2/6th battalion, two guns were hauled over the Buigap track and by July 17th another 4 guns of the American 218th battalion were hauled up from the southern arm of the Bitoi river to Green Hill. From these positions the allies could smash multiple Japanese defensive positions. General Nakano realized Mount Tambu was an essential component of General Muroya's defensive line so he sent the remainder of the 3rd battalion, 66th regiment to reinforce Colonel Araki's men. Then during the early hours of July 19th a large earth tremor startled the Australian defenders. It was the prelude to an assault led by Captain Kunizo Hatsugai's 9th company of the 66th regiment. They had crept up silently managing to get behind the southern knolls then suddenly charged up under the cover of darkness. But the defenders had their guard up and were not taken by surprise. A Bren gunner managed to knock out one of the Japanese raiders machine guns with a lucky hit in the dark. As the Japanese scrambled to try and recover it they were met with fire causing severe casualties. The Japanese surprise attack was a failure, forcing them to withdraw by first light, leaving 21 dead across the knoll. While this raid was occuring, Walters men were also repelling a series of attacks against the Northern Knoll. During these attacks, Walter was injured. Luckily for Walter and his company, they were relieved on the 19th by D Company. Another American unit, C Company of the 1st battalion, 162nd regiment led by Captain Delmar Newman also arrived to take up a position on the southern knolls. Until july 23rd, the Australians limited their actions to patrols. On the 20th, Bennet led a patrol making contact with a strong Japanese position on the Walpole track; Another company led by Morse found a Japanese position in the Goodview area dug within 100 yards of their own. Meanwhile the Japanese also limited their actions to a few patrols proding Mount Tambu for weaknesses.   On July 23rd Moten ordered the 2/5th battalion to attack the remaining Japanese positions on the Tambu Knoll, but it was the most heavily fortified yet. Basically it was like a castle keep, complete with a ravine for a moat, near vertical walls and deep tunnels going through the knoll. Mount Tambu's peak held  10 log reinforce bunkers connected by the tunnels which could shelter half a battalion or so. They also had a chain of weapon pits set up on lower ledges. Later on when investigating the entire system, the allies found weapon pits to be around 4 logs thick, interconnected by crawl trenches. Many of these weapon puts had been carefully sited within the roots of large trees, making them impervious to allied artillery fire. The tunnel entrances were dug into the side of the peak directly behind the defensive positions, allowing the defenders to storm out from their shelters underground within seconds. It was these kind of ingenious defensive works that would be built upon later on in the war to create absolute nightmares for the allies.   Moten had not carried out a thorough reconnaissance of the Japanese positions prior to ordering the attack and thus many of his subordinates elected to make a frontal assault instead of encircling them. D company took the center for the frontal attack while to the left were the 16th platoon led by Sergeant Alvin ‘Hungry' Williams and the 18th platoon led by Lt Bernard Leonads; and A company advanced along a Caffins track heading for the western flank of Mount Tambu to try and cut off the main Japanese supply route going back to Komiatum. 15 minutes before they charged, Australian and American artillery and mortars fired upon Mount Tambu. Two Australian mountain guns fired 90 rounds while the 4 75mm American guns fired 60 per gun from Green hill. D company began their attack around midday, trying to drive a wedge between two lines of pillboxes. Corporal John Smith laid cover fire as Captain Lin Cameron crept forward, getting within 15 yards of the pill boxes on the left side of the track. Cameron counted around 7 pill boxes in two lines of defense going across both sides of the track. The steep slopes on both sides gave little venues of approach, allowing around just a platoon at a time. There was also sharpened bamboo pickets on the left flank, leading Cameron to believe that an attack was expected there.   The Japanese knowingly let two platoons reach their line of forward pillboxes before unleashing hell upon them. The casualties were terrible. As Cameron recounted, “we were within 20 meters of the enemy bunkers before all hell let loose”. One of the men in the forward sections was killed outright, Cameron was wounded, his right elbow was shattered by a machine gun bullet. As he saw his men hesitate, he screamed out “forward! Get stuck into them!” With his right arm now useless and his eyesight dimming, Cameron handed command over to Lt Martin. Despite the horror, the Australians pressed on. Corporal Carey led his depleted platoon forward in a great dash and swept the outer ring of the Japanese pillboxes. On his left were Leonards men who stormed two pillboxes before heavy enfilade fire pinned them down. Then the 17th platoon led by Corporal John Smith charged up Mount Tambu from behind with their bayonets fixed. Smith screamed out “follow me!” as he charged. 3 other men out of the 11 managed to keep up with Smith, but soon Japanese grenades began to rain down on them. The grenades caught them just as they passed a third line of pillboxes. Smith was hit, but he kept charging and when he reached the peak of Mount Tambu with his back to the enemy he screamed “come on boys! come on boys!”. Without additional support and with no indication A company were making progress over on the left flank, the 4 men on the peak were forced to withdraw. The gallant Smith had to be dragged down and would die from severe wounds two days later. Smith was decorated for bravery in Syria in 1941, when he cleared out 3 machine gun nests at a roadblock and despite being wounded during the battle of Wau he still had gas left in the tank for some more.   Scouts had made their way towards the Tambu saddle track and spotted Japanese soldiers, around 125 of them a full company or so. The scouts quickly realized they were outnumbered, thus when the artillery began to open up and Walter's company moved in for the attack across the saddle, no sooner then they started the enemy halted them in their tracks. Walter had no choice but to withdraw around 500 yards south east as the Japanese were too strong. Walter's inability to make progress in the west ultimately ruined the entire attack. Despite the defeat, Companies A and D had done very well against such a heavily fortified position.   Meanwhile, Warfe and his men were marching when they discovered Ambush Knoll had come back under the hands of some Japanese from the 2nd battalion, 66th regiment. On July 15th, Warfes commandos launched an attack, with C Platoon performing a frontal assault along the narrow ridge top track. There were 16 men in the attack and they found themselves face to face with well dug in Japanese. The Japanese were behind a bamboo barricade with some pillboxes scattered about. The platoon got within 50 feet of the main barricade, but the Japanese fire was too much and casualties were mounting quickly. Meanwhile B Platoon was maneuvering around the Japanese eastern flank. At 5:30 B Platoon began attacking the eastern side of the knoll. The men got behind an enemy pillbox covering the track from Orodubi, but the Japanese quickly saw the Australians and began tossing grenades at them. Despite the resistance, B Platoon managed cut off the Japanese supply line to Ambush Knoll. With their supply lines cut the Japanese were forced to withdraw   With Ambush Knoll back under allied control, Brigadier Hammer ordered A company of the 58/59th battalion to depart Gwaibolom and attack Orodubi from its southern flank. Even with the help of the 58/59th company, the commando's yet again failed to dislodge the Japanese. On the night of July 19th, fresh troops of the 1st company, 80th battalion used the light of the full moon to come up the ridge. This became a staging point for them to attack Ambush Knoll, seeing artillery fire beginning in the morning to support their attack. Warfe's commandos were manning the trenches on Ambush Knoll, turning the tables on the Japanese and inflicting heavy casualties upon them. The Japanese were forced to retreat. The next day Warfe reinforced Ambush Knoll with two Vickers guns, which gave the Japanese a nasty surprise when they attacked again. On the 20th, the Japanese opened fire with mortars and artillery before charging the ridge. They managed to get as far as to cut the Australian lines of communication, but were ultimately repealed once again. Over 14 consecutive attacks would be made on the 20th, and even more on the 21st, but it all came to nothing, Warfe's commandos held their ground. Facing such pressure from the Japanese, Hammer still felt the greater weight of their attention was directed at Bobdubi and not towards Tambu, believing it to all be a consequence of Moton's lack of progress. General Savige decided to order Motens 2/6th battalion to take responsibility over Bobdubi ridge. The 2/6th then came across the Japanese rear near the slopes of Ambush Knoll and began harassing them. On the 22nd the Japanese tried yet again to attack Ambush Knoll, but were beaten back firmly, forcing them to finally withdraw to Sugarcane Ridge. By July 23rd, Warfes' exhausted commandos earned a relief by the 2/6th and were sent to relieve A company at Gwaibolom, while A company advanced north. The 2/6th likewise would advance north. But now we are moving away from the troubles of New Guinea and heading back up north to the frigid Aleutians. After the successful seizure of Attu, now Admiral Kinkaid and General Buckner needed to plan the invasion of Kiska. Kiska was the last Japanese bulwark in the Aleutians and held an incredible underground city. There were miles of tunnels, buried ammunition dumps, barracks,  3 hospitals, dental clinics, mess halls, machine shops, warehouses, photo labs, telephone rooms, all shoved and shored with wood. Ventilation pipes connected the maze of caves and tunnels, with Japanese troops wearing great fur lined coats busy at work. The Americans had experienced hell, on Attu, over 2872 Japanese had been killed or committed suicide, just 28 men were captured and it cost 549 american lives, 1148 wounded and nearly another 2000 ill or battered by harsh climate. The American leadership expected Kiska to be another hellscape and did not want to come at it lightly. The 7th division led by Brigadier General Archibald Arnolrd, Buckner's 4th regiment, the 87th Mountain infantry regiment, the 13th Canadian Brigade, consisting of the 6th Canadian division led by Major General George Pearkes, the Canadian Fusiliers regiment, the 1st battalion of Winnipeg grenadiers, the Rocky Mountain rangers regiment and e Regiment de Hull along with the 1st Special Service Force led by Colonel Robert Frederick were to be part of the invasion of Kiska, codenamed Operation Cottage. Unfortunately, the actual invasion will not be happening in this episode, you will actually have to wait  weeks for that one, but I just so happened to have recently done a podcast with a Canadian Military Historian named Brad St.Croix from the Youtube channel OTD Military History, the same gentleman who I interviewed for this series about the battle of Hong Kong. The podcast we recently did was on the Canadian experience of the Pacific War and the battle of Kiska is 1/3rd of it, so if you are, impatient and want to learn some neat stuff about how Canadians had to change their entire military organization and use American equipment for the battle of Kiska, check out my Youtube channel, the Pacific War channel for the full episode.  Now the last time we spoke about Kiska, the Japanese were forced to perform a bit of a miracle to evacuate their boys. After Attu had fallen, Rear Admiral Akiyama Monzo alongside 6000 men were ordered to evacuate Kiska. To try and do this, the Japanese began by sending 13 I-class submarines of the 1st submarine squadron of Rear Admiral Kouda Takeo. Despite these Type C submarines being enormous in size, they could only carry around 150 men per trip, thus it would have took 40 successful journey's to evacuate the entire Kiska garrison. With the US Navy fully decked out with sonar, this was not going to be a walk in the park. The efforts had begun on May 27th and by July, the submarines had managed to get 800 men safely back to Japan, but lost 300 due to american attacks.  Meanwhile Admiral Giffen had a considerable armada to work with consisting of a trio of older battleships; the Mississippi, Idaho and New Mexico, a quintet of cruisers; Louisville, Portland, San Francisco, Santa Fe and Wichita and 9 destroyers. He was ordered to bombard Kiska who already had been smashed with aerial attacks all throughout June and early July. On July 6th, Giffen steamed towards Kiska with 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers and bombarded the island for 22nd minutes causing a handful of casualties. It was not all that impressive, but it convinced Admiral Kawase that the Americans were about to invade Kiska at any moment.Admiral Kawase Shiro realized the futility of the submarine effort and was forced to come up with a new plan. Kawase came up with a bold plan, he was going to wait for a night when a thick fog was occurring and would take a surface fleet to sneak over into the Aleutians to assault enemy warships and evacuate all the remaining men on Kiska in a single go. To be blunt, it was a dumb idea. The American warships were equipped with radar that would pick up any surface ship with ease despite any type of fog, but what was about to occur can only be described as spectacular and bizarre.  Rear Admiral Kimura, the victor of the battle of the bismarck sea, would lead the force and he had at his disposal Destroyer Squadron 1: consisting of Yugumo, Kazagumo, Asagumo, Akigumo, Usugumo, Hibiki (one of my favorite whiskeys), Shimakaze, Samidare, Naganami, Wakaba, Hatsushimo and light cruisers Abukuma and Kiso. In close support of these there was also a covering force consisting of heavy cruisers Nachi, Maya, light cruiser Tama and destroyers Nokaze and Namikaze. The large convoy force departed from Paramushiro on July 7th with Takeo's 1st submarine squadron performing reconnaissance. The covering force departed Paramushiro on July 10th and by July 12th the fleet was around 500 miles south of Kiska. When they took up this assembly position, the sailors were in despair to see the fog was quite low. While it did not matter for warships with radar, Kimura knew full well what allied aircraft could do to his forces if they were not better concealed. Thus he elected to wait until the fog reappaered to cover his force. But the weather did not change, the skies remained clear forcing him to head back on July 15th. Meanwhile on Kiska, Rear Admiral Monzo was frantically ordering his troops to lay out a road from the underground base to the harbor piers to help facilitate the impending evacuation. All of the Japanese on Kiska felt an impending doom placed upon them. If the Americans landed first, it was all but over for them. Luckily, Japanese weather stations reported a dense fog would emerge over Kiska by July 25th, and unlike here in Montreal Canada, I guess these weather reporters are accurate. Kimura once again departed Paramushiro on July 22nd, accompanied by Admiral Kawase aboard cruiser Tama. Yet a few days prior, on July 19th, Admiral Kinkaid had ordered Admiral Giffen to bombard Kiska again. This time Giffen took a two pronged naval attack force consisting of battleships Mississippi and Idaho, cruisers Portland, Wichita, San Francisco, Louisville, Santa Fe and destroyers Abner Read, Farragut, Monaghan, Perry, Aylwin, Bache, Hughes, Morris and Mustin. Giffen's force reached Kiska on July 22nd and his ships smashed the island with 424000 lbs of high explosive shells. Just an hour later, a PBY suddenly detached with her radar 7 radar pips southwest of Attu. The PBY maintained contact for around 6 hours before low fuel forced her to return to base. These radar pips alarmed Admiral Kinkaid which was being reported in conjunction with a massive increase in Japanese radio activity on Kiska. Kinkaid believed a major Japanese fleet had just entered Aleutian waters, most likely a reinforcement convoy. Kinkaid immediately ordered Rear Admirals Giffen and Griffin to intercept the suspected enemy. However, by doing this he had also done something extremely favorable for the Japanese, he had left Kiska Harbor open and unguarded. Kinkaid dispatched a quartet of PT boats to try and provide a makeshift blockade, but the terrible weather forced the smaller vessels to return to port as trying to dash over to Kiska would probably see them all sunk. While this was occurring, Kimura's ships were traveling through the dense fog separately. The fog prevented the Americans from intercepting them initially, and having failed to make contact with the enemy, Kinkaid became nervous the Japanese might escape the blockade and ordered the force to return to Kiska at maximum speed on July 25th. The American ships dutifully turned back while Kinkaid sent the Oiler Pecos out to meet them for refueling. By dusk of the 25th, the American ships were around 90 miles from Kiska, when the fog had all but disappeared showing a cloudless sky. Kimura's vessels seeing their fog betray them, all reunited as a single force, now bearing 400 miles south of the American warships. At precisely 12:43am on July 26th the American warships picked up 7 strong radar pips around 15 miles northeast. It was Mississippi's SG radar that first picked them up, the American destroyers were actually unable to detect any pips on their radar due to the curvature of the ocean's surface at such a distance. The New Mexico, Portland, San Francisco and Wichita began picking up the same radar pips. The radar pips zigzagged across the sea surface, changing direction in much the same way ships attempting to evade detection might. The ships were being detected all at different angles, verifying to the Americans there were physical presences of some kind occupying definite points in space. On top of this, the immobile radar signature of Kiska's volcano at a range of 78 miles appeared clearly the entire time, verifying the validity of the pips moving with a fixed landmark. The radar pips converged 22,000 yards ahead of the Americans forcing them to spring into action. Admiral Giffen called for the entire fleet to turn left to intercept the pips on their southerly heading and in the hopes of foiling a possible torpedo attack. All of the American ships turned their guns to fire salvo's into the night. Great flame lances stabbed into the darkness as destroyers launched volleys of torpedoes and radar plotters frantically calculated salvo corrections. For 67 minutes the Americans tracked the 7 radar pips firing wildly at them. At 1:30am the Mississippi's log recorded zig-zags and a 20 degree course change, but not a single sailor saw an enemy ship. Cruisers San Francisco and Santa Fe registered shell splashes, but never an enemy target.  75 miles over on Kiska, the Japanese were watching a spectacle. From their point of view it was like a night-time light show over the horizon. By 2:22am the radar pips thinned, faded and vanished completely. During the morning surface ships and aircraft fanned out looking for wreckage, ships, floating papers, oil slick, anything to indicate something was even out there! The American warships reported no return fire, it was as if they faced ghosts. With a lack of fuel and ammunition, the US ships began refueling on the 28th and resumed their blockade of Kiska. What famously has become known as the battle of the Pips left the US Navy with a mystery that remains unsolved to this very day. The radar equipment was operating at times where there was a cloudless night with no fog, zero reasons for false radar echoes. An Aleutian crab fishing captain named Captain George Fulton may have solved the mystery in 1991 when he managed to duplicate the radar signatures observed during the battle by using his radar on a natural phenomenon common to the area. He presented his findings to the Alaska War Symposium in 1993 in a letter “I […] duplicated the Battle of the Pips using color radar. Sure enough there were blips on the tube and their density changed from red to orange to yellow and finally to black, providing an exact replication of the Battle of the Pips. What you described fits exactly the […] pattern of dense flocks of mutton birds or dusky shearwaters […] As mutton birds fly they veer left and right. This accounts for the zigzagging that was reported on the radar logs” Captain Fulton further went on to say how these huge flocks continue until they see large schools of fish, such as pollack. When the birds see them they begin landing on the sea surface then dive for their prey. This maneuver causes them to vanish from radar screens entirely. In the 1990s Aleutian fishing crews use this trait to locate large concentration of pollack, identifying the blips by their zigzagging motion and cast their nets accordingly. Were the Japanese saved by shearwater birds? Another answer came from the US Navy who officially stated that atmospheric echoes, a sort of phenomena caused the radar pips, that explanation has been highly contested. Its also been speculated that the American radar pips were 7 IJN submarines running reconnaissance. What we do know is Kimura made it to Kiska on the 28th undetected and unharmed while the US warships were enroute miles back. No American ships were anywhere near Kiska on the 28th. Admiral Kimura pulled the ships into Kiska anchorage and evacuated the entire remaining forces on the island, all 5183 men onto 8 vessels all within 55 minutes. The Japanese soldiers made sure to spend their last moments on the island setting up a plethora of booby traps. Four days later Kimura and Kawase were back in Paramushiro, successfully evacuating Kiska without firing a single shot. The Americans had no idea the evacuation occurred. In the words of one disgruntled American Colonel after the Kiska ordeal ““How I hate those bastards but I've got to give them credit for the most masterly evacuation by any army at any time and I'm not forgetting Dunkirk” I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Today's poem is by John Lawrence Ashbery[1] (July 28, 1927 – September 3, 2017) , an American poet and art critic.[2] Ashbery is considered the most influential American poet of his time. Oxford University literary critic John Bayley wrote that Ashbery "sounded, in poetry, the standard tones of the age."[3] Langdon Hammer, chair of the English Department at Yale University, wrote in 2008, "No figure looms so large in American poetry over the past 50 years as John Ashbery" and "No American poet has had a larger, more diverse vocabulary, not Whitman, not Pound."[4] Stephanie Burt, a poet and Harvard professor of English, has compared Ashbery to T. S. Eliot, calling Ashbery "the last figure whom half the English-language poets alive thought a great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible".[5]—Bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

There is new polling that shows a record 49% of Americans now see themselves as politically independent — the same as the two major parties put together. The biggest and dominant political affiliation isn't Democrat or Republican. It's none of the above.  The two parties are failing. And losing strength. And the future is independent. Gallup analyst Jeff Jones says a big reason for this change is driven by the younger generation. "It was never unusual for younger adults to have higher percentages of independents than older adults," Jones said. "What is unusual is that as Gen X and millennials get older, they are staying independent rather than picking a party, as older generations tended to do." The future is more diverse–it's obviously younger–and it's independent.  The system is broken. And we see it. And are demanding better.  And this episode, we've got the perfect guest to help us understand it all better. And to understand what's next. And why this is not a fluke–why independents are going to be #1 for a long time–and maybe forever.  It's a guy is who is a key leader in our independent movement, a wise and trusted elder, and the guy who I think understands independents better than anyone: our friend John Opdycke: John Opdycke (@jbopdycke) is the President of Open Primaries. Open Primaries is a non-profit focused on a movement of diverse Americans who believe in a simple, yet radical idea: No American should be required to join a political party to exercise their right to vote. He's the independent whisperer. And after joining us almost a year ago in Ep 171, he's back to break it all down. To help us understand who independents are, who they aren't, and why they're-why WE'RE—number one.  Welcome to the tipping point for our independent movement.  Welcome to spring.   Welcome to the future.  Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 219.

So much is happening in real time in our world, obviously. And as a weekly podcast we can't always speak immediately into the events that happen around us that need a bigger conversation. So we decided to take the time to look at those happenings, find some people who could walk us through the big events that have happened in the last 4 or 5 months and pop in with some conversations outside of our regular series for our premium subscribers. We're talking about events that have us rethinking our stand on different issues, legislation being passed or overturned, and  justice issues–all in an effort to understand what's at the core of each one and figure out how to react. This week, we're looking at issues around gun control. Wherever your entry point into this discussion is, it's something that's been top of mind for many of us. You may find this shocking, since the divides on this are reported with great zeal via the media, but according to Gallup, a great majority of us believe in the right to own guns. And a whopping 92% of us favor background checks on Every. Single. Gun. Purchase.  So, what's the big hubbub about gun control if we're nearly all in agreement?  Because right now background checks aren't required for every single gun purchase. Millions of guns have found their ways into the hands of those who are using them for criminal purposes, via sellers who don't do background checks. Consider that fact alongside the stat that firearm deaths are the highest among teens and young adults between 18-34. How can this be, and how can we change it? That's what we're stepping through in this episode with Diana Oestreich, a veteran combat medic who served in Iraq. Diana's an activist who is a self-proclaimed “peace wager” and she's returning to our show to walk us through what's going on and what we can do to change the situation to make the world a safer place for our kids. And spoiler alert: it doesn't require everyone to have to hand over their guns.    Thought-Provoking Quotes “Just this year, guns are the number one killer of kids in America. That demands action and I'm committed to it.”  – Diana Oestreich  “I totally believe that it is A-okay to own a gun. I come from a family of hunters, I am the daughter, the mom, the sister of hunters. Is there a place in the American battery of rights to own an AR-15–a weapon of war? Do you need a weapon of war? No, you don't. Do you know that a grenade is a weapon of war? It is illegal. No American can own a grenade. And that's a good thing.” - Diana Oestreich “The antidote to despair is action.” – Diana Oestreich   “The most powerful thing is that our kids know that they are part of doing good in the world. That's something that will make them resilient to violence.” – Diana Oestreich     Diana's LinksWebsite Instagram Twitter The Waging Peace Project   Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's Instagram Jen's Twitter Jen's Facebook Jen's YouTube

Synopsis On this date in 1961, cellist Pablo Casals gave a chamber concert at the White House, at the invitation of President John F. Kennedy. The concert was given in honor of Governor Luis Muñoz of Puerto Rico, the home of Pablo Casals. Casals played works of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Couperin, with his own composition, Song of the Birds, as an encore. While eminent guests raved over the performance, the cellist's laconic comment was simply, “It went well.” Casals could afford to be blasé. After all, he had played at the White House before—for President Teddy Roosevelt back in 1904! Aaron Copland was also invited to the November 13th White House concert in 1961. In a diary entry, he noted: “Pierre Salinger and Senator Mike Mansfield were at our table. President Kennedy was in full view the entire time… I was surprised at his reddish-brown hair. No evil in the face, but plenty of ambition there, no doubt. Mrs. K. statuesque… After dinner we were treated to a concert by Pablo Casals. No American music. The next step.” That “next step” came the following spring. In May of 1962, the Kennedys presented Copland's ballet Billy the Kid at the White House for the visiting president of the Ivory Coast Republic, with Copland as guest of honor.

One has to be an inventor to understand this.One evening in Dayton, I dined alone with Orville Wright.During a long evening, we discussed inventions we had made that had never amounted to anything. He took me up to the attic and showed me models of various weird gadgets.I had plenty of similar efforts to tell him about, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.Neither of us would have thus spilled things except to a fellow practitioner, one who had enjoyed the elation of creation and who knew that such elation is, to a true devotee, independent of practical results.So it is also, I understand, with poets.[51:28] Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[52:21] When picking an industry to enter, my favorite rule of thumb is this: Pick an industry where the founders of the industry—the founders of the important companies in the industry—are still alive and actively involved. — The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen.

One thing is certain. If Donald J. Trump was not running for President in 2024 yesterday afternoon, he was running by Monday night. The surprise raid of 20 to 30 armed FBI agents on the former President's private residence is unprecedented in American history. Everything changed last night. No longer could American citizens assume that former Presidents were safe from political persecution, even imprisonment by extreme opponents. No future president will be confident he or she won't go to prison for his beliefs and policies. No American citizen can assume he or she is living in a free republic under the rule of law. You can be certain that Donald Trump will run for President in 2024. He no longer has a choice.

The United States killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Zawahiri, who just turned 71 years old, had remained a visible international symbol of the group, 11 years after the US killed Osama bin Laden. At one point, he acted as bin Laden's personal physician. No American personnel were on the ground in Kabul at the time of the strike. Senior Haqqani Taliban figures were aware of Zawahiri's presence in the area, the official said Monday, in "clear violation of the Doha agreement," and even took steps to conceal his presence after Saturday's successful strike, restricting access to the safe house and rapidly relocating members of his family, including his daughter and her children, who were intentionally not targeted during the strike and remained unharmed. The US did not alert Taliban officials ahead of Saturday's strike.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Madison's Montpelier is a museum of American history and a center for constitutional education. But a recent article in New York Post revealed that "President James Madison's home, Montpelier in Virginia, has been transformed into a museum focusing on slavery and racism instead of the founding father. No American flags fly at Montpelier, Madison's plantation home in rural Virginia, and not a single display focuses on the life and accomplishments of America's foremost political philosopher, who created our three-branch federal system of government, wrote the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers, and served two terms as president."In this episode, Jim and Dan talk about how James Madison's home has been overrun by wokeism, an ideology based on the belief that America is an oppressive, racist country. Enjoy!In This Episode02:27 - What makes Jim want to retire in Florida06:46 - What keeps Dan busy on the weekends08:07 - Jim's vacation getaways11:30 - The Indiana mall shooting hero, Elijah Dicken21:04 - Calling AOC "favorite big booty Latina"27:20 - The destruction of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and James Madison's Montpelier by wokeism35:15 - The National Defense Authority Act (NDAA)50:55 - What's coming up on the next episodesFavorite Quotes16:02 - "Hundreds of people walking around today who were at that mall that day in Indiana owe Elijah Dick in their lives.

Huge primaries happened this week in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon and Kentucky. And millions of independent voters (the fastest growing segment of the electorate) were shut out completely. Just like they're shut out of primaries in dozens of states across America. And will be shut out of the Presidential primaries in 2024. Democrats and Republicans are squabbling and battling and our children and neighbors continue to be slaughtered in mass shootings. This is America in 2022.  Putin is losing in Ukraine. But his agenda is winning in Buffalo. In El Paso. In Charleston. And most of all, in Washington DC. The broken two-party duopoly that George Washington warned us about continues to propel the problem. And ALL of our problems. The parties can't find a way forward to solutions. On school shootings, on immigration, on the pandemic, on education, on the future. And in America in 2022, as our fellow Americans continue to die daily–in a hospital bed due to COVID, or in a supermarket due to a radical with a rifle–stakes have never been higher. America is broken. Because our politics are broken. But there is a path to fixing it. And this episode, we're gonna explore it with a leader who's dedicated his life to it.  John Opdycke (@jbopdycke) is the President of Open Primaries. Open Primaries is a non-profit focused on a movement of diverse Americans who believe in a simple, yet radical idea: No American should be required to join a political party to exercise their right to vote. We're digging into who independent Americans really are. Why millions of independents are blocked from voting In America. Why is the taxpaying public funding non-public primaries? Can Evan McMullin (our recent guest on this show) really win the Senate seat in Utah this fall? Will there be a viable independent alternative to the Democratic and Republican candidates for President in 2024?  This is an episode about solutions. And about how we can all be a part of them.  Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 42% of Americans that call themselves independent. And delivers the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact.

The world now sees the aftermath of Joe granting Putin permission to move in on Ukraine, and it has been disastrous. It is unbelievable to think a world leader would have given the green light to such carnage. Meanwhile, Biden retreats to the basement of his Delaware mansion on weekends as the world watches the devastation...

If you take prescription medication, Mark Cuban is about to save you money. He is determined to upend the industry! So far, he's well on his way. Get ready to pay less... much less for your prescriptions.The pharmaceutical  industry is nearly $600 billion a year! It actually could be much more! Most of it is waste and corruption. Unfortunately, the American people are force to pay the bill. Some drugs sell for hundreds, yet are made for pennies. Why? Well, Mark is going to tell you why. This discussion is only the beginning. On his website www.costplusdrugs.com he says, "We started Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company because every American should have access to safe, affordable medicines. If you don't have insurance or have a high deductible plan, you know that even the most basic medications can cost a fortune. Many people are spending crazy amounts of money each month just to stay healthy. No American should have to suffer or worse - because they can't afford basic prescription medications. If you are fortunate enough to have health insurance with a low deductible, the high cost of drugs is driving up the premiums that you or your employer pay, making getting health insurance expensive and challenging.The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company takes these problems head on." Mark discusses this and more on the podcast.
