On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart on how the escalating Iranian crisis is already impacting Americans at the pump. Gas prices jumped 20-30 cents over the weekend, but is this just the beginning?Stewart explains how the U.S., now producing nearly 13 million barrels of oil per day, is far more insulated than it was during the energy shocks of the 1970s. Still, aging refinery infrastructure, reliance on Canadian and Venezuelan crude, and global instability create ongoing vulnerabilities.The conversation also explores the geopolitical ripple effects of U.S. energy policy, the potential for new refineries in states like Nevada and Arizona, and what California's policies could mean for the broader energy landscape. Plus, they discuss the possibility of Iranian regime change and what it would mean for global oil markets. What happens overseas doesn't stay overseas — especially when it comes to energy.You can learn more about the U.S. Oil and Gas Association, along with this podcast and Amanda Head by following their respective X accounts: @FurthermorePod, @AmandaHead, @US_OGA.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Youtube FacebookBioRock and roll enthusiast Rourke blends classic rock, politics, and compassion into his latest single, “I Can't Breathe,” part of his upcoming album Starstruck, set for release before summer. Writing about real people and real events, Rourke maintains the true spirit of rock while delivering songs that resonate deeply.“My goal is to create a brand of rock that brings the genre back to where it used to be, where the 70s meet the 80s. I want to write songs that stay in your head, the kind you are still hearing an hour later. That's what's missing from rock and roll these days. I want to bring rock back to basics,” Rourke shares.Rourke's musical journey began in his preteen years when he first picked up the guitar. Though he later pursued film school, music eventually became his primary platform for expression. In 2016, after growing frustrated by political debates on social media, he stepped away and returned to his guitar, channeling his emotions into songwriting. What began as personal release quickly evolved into a powerful creative outlet. Within a short time, he had written over 1,000 unfinished songs, setting the stage for what would become Starstruck.Over the past five years, Rourke has dedicated his spare time to developing the album one story at a time. What started as an acoustic demo inspired by Guns N' Roses and classic 70s and 80s rock gradually evolved into a full electric production featuring hard rock, blues, and emotional ballads. The album consists of ten songs accompanied by original artwork, including a cover photo Rourke captured himself while driving through downtown Los Angeles, which became a symbolic reflection of division in America.Working alongside his producer and studio musicians in Los Angeles, the project grew from a simple four song demo into a full band album and immersive musical experience.“I Can't Breathe,” the album's third single, delivers a powerful and emotional message inspired by the death of George Floyd and the broader struggles facing the country. The song takes listeners through five emotional stages of the Black experience, beginning with fear, anger, sadness, and frustration before resolving with hope. “When I first wrote it, I started on acoustic guitar,” Rourke explains. “The outro was added at the last minute because it didn't feel complete without it.”With help from childhood friend Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters, who performs keyboards throughout the album, Rourke transformed the track into a moving statement piece. Guitarist Richard Fortus of Guns N' Roses also contributes to two tracks, adding depth and intensity to the record.Listeners drawn to socially conscious rock should also explore Rourke's single “Rise,” which he describes as his “Michelle Obama” song. Inspired by her famous quote, “When they go low, we go high,” Rourke turned the phrase into the chorus “When they go low, we rise.” The call and response structure transforms political tension into a soaring rock anthem, drawing comparisons to Bon Jovi and Green Day.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head, and her "Just The News, No Noise" TV news co-host John Solomon pull back the curtain on a deeply unsettling reality: the growing footprint of the Chinese Communist Party inside the United States and the dangerous consequences of Washington D.C.'s failure to confront it.From clandestine police outposts to illegal biolabs discovered in places like California and Las Vegas, Head and Solomon examine just how Chinese influence operations have moved beyond theory and into American communities. These revelations raise urgent questions about national security, public health, and whether the federal government is doing enough — or anything at all — to stop it.The investigative duo are joined by FBI Director Kash Patel, who delivers firsthand insight into what authorities uncovered during a recent lab raid and weighs in on the broader collapse of counterintelligence efforts targeting Chinese espionage. Director Patel explains why dismantling these programs has left the U.S. exposed at a critical moment. In a separate conversation, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya discusses the unresolved risks surrounding gain-of-function research and its connection to the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion presses on what safeguards, if any, now exist and whether dangerous research tied to China has truly been halted.This episode continues with a deep dive into China's expanding intelligence operations, featuring House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Rick Crawford, who outlines what Congress is uncovering and what must be done immediately to strengthen America's defenses. Rounding out this episode, Tom Jones of the American Accountability Foundation reveals alarming evidence of Chinese Communist Party operatives embedded within U.S. universities, funneling taxpayer-funded research back to Beijing.You can watch Amanda Head and John Solomon every week day evening on their TV news show, "Just The News, No Noise" at 6PM ET / 3PM PT.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by Nicole Huyer, The Heritage Foundation's Senior Research Associate for Economic Policy. The two break down the radical policy agenda being floated by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and why it should concern Americans far beyond The Big Apple.Huyer explains why Mamdani's proposal for government-run grocery stores mirrors failed experiments in places like Erie, Kansas and Baldwin, Florida, leading not to affordability, but shortages, inefficiencies, and higher costs for taxpayers. She also unpacks the potential fallout of his proposed corporate tax hike to 11.5% and a new 2% penalty tax on high earners — policies that could accelerate the flight of businesses and capital out of the city.You can follow this podcast, Amanda Head, and Nicole Huyer on X by searching for the respective handles: @FurthermorePod, @AmandaHead, @NicoleHuyer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He lays out specific reforms he believes could restore credibility, including radical transparency and allowing competing articles on contested topics.The Wikipedia co-founder also shares his deeply personal journey from atheism to Christianity. He details years of serious theological study, philosophical inquiry, and what he sees as compelling evidence for biblical prophecy and truth claims.

The Hundred Years' War split Catholic Europe, with popes and bishops backing different sides in a brutal conflict between England and France. A teenage peasant girl named Joan followed voices she believed were from God telling her to fight for her occupied homeland — even when that put her at odds with churchmen allied with the English. Tried and burned by an ecclesiastical court, she appealed to the pope and died clutching a crucifix. Twenty-five years later the Church declared the trial invalid; five hundred years later she was canonized.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by Josh Hammer, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Host of The Josh Hammer Show, and Author of “Israel and Civilization,” for a timely conversation on what he calls the rise of “moral blackmail” in America.

Hammer also warns that media disinformation and selective enforcement have fueled public confusion and normalized intimidation tactics.Together, the duo explores what this trend means for free speech, institutional integrity, and the future of the American republic, and whether the country is finally beginning to push back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
