Nobody expected the second half of the cleric episode to begin with a discussion about wolves conducting hate crimes against coyotes, crows acting as aerial bounty hunters, and the lasting trauma of Game of Thrones season eight. Somehow this naturally transitioned into Pathfinder clerics, giant dragon towers, vampire bat transformations, and a godless revolutionary whose greatest enemy remains organized religion. In hindsight, this was probably the only possible outcome. Show Notes In the second half of our Pathfinder 2e Cleric build series, we advanced our morally questionable holy figures from level 11 all the way to 20. Before we even reached the introduction, however, we somehow found ourselves discussing wolf vendettas, crow conspiracies, Game of Thrones, British pronunciation crimes, and Pulp Fiction-inspired monologues. Naturally, this was exactly the kind of preparation required for high-level clerics. Randall returned with his godless anti-religious war priest, continuing his crusade to dismantle divine authority while simultaneously benefiting from divine magic. The contradictions only made the character stronger. Ash continued building a dragon-obsessed kobold servant of Dahak, leaning heavily into domains, summoning magic, and draconic heritage feats. Tyler doubled down on his undead survival machine, creating a cleric who would rather become increasingly horrifying than ever experience death again. As the builds progressed, the characters became increasingly absurd. Randall evolved into a social revolutionary capable of literally preaching atheism to enemies. Ash transformed into a majestic kobold empowered by dragons and armed with enough fire to solve nearly any problem. Tyler embraced his inner vampire, eventually turning into a bat, draining enemies, and becoming nearly impossible to kill. High-level spells stole much of the spotlight. Summoning dragons, collapsing enemies with Implosion, unleashing Massacre, and transforming into avatars of divine power all showcased just how spectacular Pathfinder's spellcasters become in the late game. Meanwhile, Randall's philosophy remained unchanged: peace is important, and anyone who disagrees can discuss it with the business end of a glaive. By the time we reached level 20, our collection of short kings had somehow become terrifying demigods. None of them were remotely good people, but they were certainly memorable clerics. Key Takeaways Levels 11 through 20 dramatically increase a cleric's power through doctrines, master spellcasting, and powerful class feats. High-rank divine spells provide some of the most cinematic effects in Pathfinder 2e. Harm-focused builds can become incredibly durable through self-healing and defensive feats. Domain spells continue to scale well into the highest levels of play. Heritage feats can dramatically shape a character's identity and capabilities. Avatar provides one of the most flavorful capstone spells available to divine casters. Additional 10th-rank spell slots are difficult to pass up at level 20. Warpriests gain survivability but still lag behind dedicated martial classes in weapon proficiency. Pathfinder 2e offers many ways to support unusual character concepts, including technically illegal godless clerics. Team Fun Size successfully evolved from weird clerics into full-blown nightmares for any GM. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Η νέα ταινία του Στίβεν Σπίλμπεργκ βγαίνει στις αίθουσες και κλείνει μια εμβληματική τριλογία επιστημονικής φαντασίας. Οι «Στενές επαφές τρίτου τύπου» εξέφραζαν έναν ευσεβή πόθο, την ελπίδα πως δεν είμαστε μόνοι. Ο «Ε.Τ.» ουσιαστικά είναι μια ταινία για την οικογένεια, με τον εξωγήινο να γίνεται καταλύτης ενός συγκινητικού δράματος. Η «Ημέρα Αποκάλυψης» ολοκληρώνει τον κύκλο, μιλώντας για την κοινότητα, την ανθρώπινη αλληλεγγύη και την ενσυναίσθηση που τόσο λείπει από τον διχασμένο πλανήτη. Ο Σπίλμπεργκ πιστεύει –και δεν το έχει κρύψει ποτέ– ότι οι ουρανοί έχουν ανοίξει προ πολλού και φιλικοί προς εμάς επισκέπτες έχουν προσγειωθεί κοντά μας. Αν θέλουμε το δεχόμαστε, κι αν δεν το σηκώνουμε, όλα καλά! Στο πλαίσιο της μυθοπλασίας πολλά μπορεί να μας αφηγηθεί ο μεγαλύτερος παραμυθάς που έχει εμφανιστεί στο σινεμά, αλλά τι λέει η επιστήμη επί του θέματος; Αν συνομιλούσα με έναν συνάδελφο (ή «σινάδελφο»), μάλλον θα συμφωνούσαμε και σύντομα θα το γυρίζαμε στο σινεμά και στον σκηνοθέτη, ίσως χωρίς ενδιαφέρον. Γι' αυτόν τον λόγο, καλεσμένος στο σημερινό επεισόδιο του «PulpFiction» είναι ένας από τους πλέον ειδικούς και καταρτισμένους στο αντικείμενο, στη χώρα μας, ο κ. Ξενοφών Μουσάς, καθηγητής Φυσικής Διαστήματος στον τομέα Αστροφυσικής, Αστρονομίας και Μηχανικής στο ΕΚΠΑ. Αναρωτιέμαι πόση επιστημονική πραγματικότητα υπάρχει στις φανταστικές αναπαραστάσεις μίας από τις πιο διαχρονικές και υπαρξιακές αναζητήσεις μας κι εκείνος επιστρατεύει τον εξαιρετικά κατανοητό λόγο του για να λύσει απορίες που πιστεύω πως έχουμε όλοι μας. Ο ίδιος παρατηρεί και μελετά το Διάστημα επί πενήντα και πλέον χρόνια, από τότε που οι επιστήμονες πίστευαν πως έξω από το δικό μας ηλιακό σύστημα υπήρχαν άστρα, αλλά κανένας άλλος πλανήτης! Εξηγεί ποιες είναι οι πιθανότητες να υπάρχει εξωγήινη παρουσία στη Γη μας αλλά και έμβιοι οργανισμοί σε μακρινούς πλανήτες. Άραγε, υπάρχει πιθανότητα εποικισμού άλλων πλανητών από τον άνθρωπο; Ποια η σημασία των οπτικοακουστικών αρχείων της NASA και των μυστικών υπηρεσιών που πολύ πρόσφατα αποκαλύφθηκαν; Τέλος, μας μιλά και για τις δύο μεγάλες του αγάπες, το Παράδοξο του Φέρμι και τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων, με τον οποίο έχει ασχοληθεί εκτεταμένα στην ακαδημαϊκή του καριέρα.

Generations of kids have grown up with Richard Scarry and his children's books. Friendly animals, unique stories, hide-and-seek illustrations, and so much more make up the more than 200 books Scarry released during his life. A staple of sick days in the 1980s and 1990s, besides Price Is Right and ginger ale, was daytime talk shows. Enlightening and informative sometimes, these shows often devolved into chaos, shouting matches, and fights. We do a little overview of the history of daytime talk shows, from the classy and respectful to the grimy and embarrassing. It will be a special Top 10 instead of the traditional Top 5. We will be looking at the highest-rated movies from the 1990s. This is based on ratings from critics, audiences, and overall box office performance through the IMDb website.There is, as always, a brand-new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the life and career of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood.To support me and the show, become a member on Patreon. Or you can support my work and Buy Me A Coffee!Helpful Links from this EpisodeBuy My New Book, In Their Footsteps!Searching For the Lady of the Dunes True Crime BookHooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenMSFTS CommunityKingfisher Hotels Cape CodChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogCJSetterlundPhotos on EtsyRichard Scarry's Busytown - PC GameListen to Episode 246 hereSupport the show

Summer's coming in hot, and so are we. In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're checking out one of the coolest, most American sounds in rock history: surf music.  It's a sound designed to imitate the ocean — dripping wet reverb, a clean glowing tone, and that lightning-fast, machine-gun guitar picking you instantly recognize.  It exploded right in the gap between the first wave of rock ‘n' rollers and the British Invasion, when the music charts had gone soft. But while surf rock as short lived, it wasn't just a blip.  This scene drove major advances in guitar amps, influenced guitar gods from Jimi Hendrix to Eddie Van Halen, and even helped blaze a path toward speed metal. And of course, it gave the world The Beach Boys. This was counterculture. This was pure American teenage freedom in musical form — cars, girls, waves, and rebellion.  In this episode, we're riding the wave: and talking about artists like Dick Dale, The Surfaris, and the Ventures. We'll also touch on how the Pulp Fiction soundtrack helped surf rock get back up on the board as well as some modern bands that are still hanging 10 with the sound.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We cover lots of topics, delving into stealth and AI systems, objectives and their communication, and other thoughts. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Another mission Issues covered: whether it was designed for a controller, graphic fidelity holding up, the fixed function shading pipeline, the crossover between audio and visual meters, what's going on with the light meter, ambient noise affecting how quickly you can move, adjusting eyesight, layering mechanics into a mini-game, sprinklers everywhere, hose extraction, trip lasers, using a body as a laser avoider, a key that isn't a key, interrogation mechanics, consequences for not interrogating, multiple paths to information, forgetting the vision modes, the marketing targets for particular consoles, dynamic mission objectives, motivating spaces through pattern language, having to mark up the world to tell you what's important, a digression into climbing anywhere, "what map?," not wasting space, clockwork levels, a globetrotting set of ops vs single-location games, Brett has a good point, contrasting flavors, just jumping in and having the briefings paper over travel, the attract mode, benefitting pacing. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: XBOX, Pulp Fiction (obliquely), PlayStation 3, Clint Hocking, NOLF 2, Max Payne, Metal Gear (series), Three Men and a Baby, Poltergeist, Eternal Darkness, Mission: Impossible (series), Entrapment, Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dishonored, Prey, Hitman, Die Hard, Assassin's Creed, Crazy Climber, Cairn, Jusant, Hideo Kojima, Reacher (series), The Gray Man (series), The Hunt for Red October, Quiller (series), Shadowlord-72, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

What are the best movies from six of the greatest directors ever? Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns go filmmaker by filmmaker through the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and Christopher Nolan to choose the films that best define each director. From Tarantino's pop-culture-changing Pulp Fiction to Scorsese's gangster classic Goodfellas, Fincher's dark thriller Seven, PTA's powerhouse drama There Will Be Blood, Kubrick's horror landmark The Shining, and Nolan's massive historical epic Oppenheimer, this episode is a full movie-lover deep dive. The guys also discuss the difference between a director's “best” movie and their personal favorite, why some films age better than others, and how certain movies reshape an entire genre. Before the main topic, Lance and Tyler review recent viewings including Who Will Stop the Rain?, Marathon Man, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, Hooper, Widow's Bay, Mortal Kombat 2, and Batman Beyond. #BestFilms #BestMovies #LegendaryDirectors #QuentinTarantino #MartinScorsese #ChristopherNolan #StanleyKubrick #DavidFincher #PaulThomasAnderson #PulpFiction #Goodfellas #Oppenheimer #TheShining #TheNextReel #moviereview SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Fixers on Film

On this episode of The Video Store Podcast, I am recommending four movies about the people who get called when somebody has made a mess, crossed the wrong person, or needs a situation to go away quietly. The movies this week are Sweet Smell of Success (1957), Wise Guys (1986), La Femme Nikita (1990), and Pulp Fiction (1994). They all deal with that idea in different ways, from a press agent trying to stay useful, to mob errand boys trying to stay alive, to handlers working inside a government machine, to a man who arrives with a plan when everyone else is panicking.I start with Sweet Smell of Success (1957), which may be the coldest movie on this list. Tony Curtis plays Sidney Falco, a press agent who is always working an angle and always trying to stay useful to Burt Lancaster's J. J. Hunsecker. Hunsecker has the power, but Falco is the fixer. He is the one moving through restaurants, clubs, offices, and sidewalks trying to make things happen for people who would rather not get their own hands dirty. The film was directed by Alexander Mackendrick, with cinematography by James Wong Howe and music by Elmer Bernstein. It was shot partly on the streets of New York, and it still feels like a movie made out of cigarette smoke, bad favors, and late night anxiety.Then I move to Wise Guys (1986), a Brian De Palma comedy that feels a little odd in his filmography, which is part of what makes it interesting. Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo play low level mob guys who are useful until they are not. They run errands, take orders, and try to read the room, but the room keeps changing on them. Harvey Keitel, Dan Hedaya, Ray Sharkey, Frank Vincent, and Captain Lou Albano are all in the cast, which gives the movie a nice mix of mob movie faces and broad comedy. It is not De Palma in thriller mode, but you can still see his interest in people trapped inside systems they do not fully control.The third recommendation is La Femme Nikita (1990), Luc Besson's French action thriller about a young woman pulled into a government program that turns her into an assassin. The fixer here is not only one person. It is the whole structure around her. Tchéky Karyo's Bob is part handler and part threat, someone who can seem kind while reminding Nikita that her new life is not really hers. Jeanne Moreau also appears as Amande, who helps shape Nikita into someone who can move through polite society while carrying a completely different life underneath. Anne Parillaud won the César Award for Best Actress for the role, and you can see why. She has to play the violence, the fear, and the strange sadness of someone being rebuilt for other people's purposes.The last movie is Pulp Fiction (1994), where Harvey Keitel's Winston Wolf may be the cleanest example of this week's theme. He arrives, assesses the problem, gives instructions, and leaves before the movie can turn him into something bigger. That is part of why the character works so well. He does not need a long backstory. He is there because somebody called the right number. The movie is full of people talking themselves into and out of danger, but Mr. Wolf is different. He does not talk around the problem. He handles it.So this week, the shelf has a bitter New York classic, an oddball mob comedy, a French thriller, and one of the defining crime films of the 1990s. Four very different rentals, all built around people who know what to do when the situation has gone bad.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Doug Liman's Go (1999) This week, we revisit an underseen/little-discussed comedy from 1999, Doug Liman's Go. In the 1990s cinema was overwhelmed by the influence, financial, and critical success of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction; any number of copycats and knock-offs would flood theaters. Probably, the very best, would be Liman's three-story, intersecting narrative of young adults, struggling with financial problems, bad choices, casual drug use and sales, and (comid) violence. As always, your WatchThis hosts springboard from Liman's film into a dialogue regarding our memories of the 1990s, the evolution of narrative style, the power and influence of pop-art, and the slow move into the 2000s. It's a fun talk regarding a film that deserves more attention. Take a listen as we reflect on this exciting, inventive, and fun postcard from 1999. With an early 90s "who's who" cast, including: Katie Holmes, Timothy Olyphant, Scott Wolf, Jay Mohr, William Fichtner, Melissa McCarthy (very early), Desmond Askew, Taye Diggs, and (a wonderful ) Sarah Polley.

A mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, was one of the worst domestic violence incidences in recent history. A father of 7 killed his children and their mother, along with one other child. Our hosts are joined by Louisiana native, and civil rights activist, Gary Chambers, to discuss how to break the cycle violence. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: 1. During a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast last Wednesday, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, read a fake bible verse that’s actually from the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction. 2. GOP Congressman Troy Nehls says Trump is “almost the second-coming” of Christ. 3. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (GA) says America “needs to be healed” after supporting a sex-abuser, Trump, for so long. 4. The Louisiana state House advanced a bill that would force unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program (rehab). If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it, and if they can’t afford to pay, they’ll be forced to do unpaid labor for the state. 5. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shelved the SAVE Act in favor of other legislation that has a better chance at passing. The bill would have disenfranchised 10s of millions of Americans of their right to vote. 6. Tucker Carlson apologizes for “misleading people” about Donald Trump. 7. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted over their alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremecist, and other extremist groups. 8. Virginia voters passed a redistricting measure on Tuesday, giving Democrats an advantage in the upcoming midterm election. 10 out of 11 available congressional seats are expected to go to Democrats.

JD Vance and Mike Johnson defend Donald Trump's fight against the pope, while Trump says "he's all about the Gospel" and Defense Secretary Hegseth leads soldiers in prayer using a fake Bible quote from "Pulp Fiction." More troops are on their way to the Middle East as the United States and Iran look for a short-term agreement before the ceasefire expires Tuesday. Republicans worry that Trump's "nonsense" is distracting from their midterm affordability message, and a New York Post reporter publishes an excerpt from Health Secretary Kennedy's diary in which he recalls cutting off the penis of a roadkill raccoon. Then, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about her campaign for Senate, how ICE's operations in her state have reshaped the race, and what she wants to see from Democratic leadership in the Senate.Are you a Friend of the Pod subscriber?

The problem is, the rendition he recited was from a scene in Pulp Fiction delivered by actor Samuel L. Jackson.

 Religion scholars Brad Onishi and Dan Miller recap a week of conflict in which Pope Leo criticized war and bombing in a statement widely read as aimed at the U.S. approach to Iran, prompting a lengthy Trump Truth Social attack and backlash over an AI image of Trump as Jesus. JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson told the Pope to “stay in his lane” and invoked just war theory, leading Miller to explain its criteria and argue the Iran conflict fails them; the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a response defending the Pope's teaching authority and the church's just war tradition. The hosts frame the dispute as exposing fissures within MAGA Christian nationalism, discuss claims of nationalism turning the nation and leader into God, and analyze Pete Hegseth's rhetoric and prayer language as further evidence, alongside GOP figures and media urging the Pope to avoid politics while promoting religion in government. 00:00 Pope Versus Trump 01:07 Why Religion Matters 02:03 Iran War And Distraction 03:22 Papal Statement And Trump Blowup 04:16 AI Jesus Backlash 06:37 JD Vance Enters Fight 09:00 Pope Warns War Profiteers 10:14 Mike Johnson Just War Spin 11:53 Just War Theory Explained 15:58 Bishops Rebuke Vance 18:39 Fissures In Christian Nationalism 21:25 Aquinas And War As Evil 27:14 MAGA Splits And Catholic Voters 29:22 Vance Authority Christianity 32:32 Power Theology And Nationalism 35:33 Vance Versus Just War 37:07 Hegseth Pulp Prayer 38:57 Vengeance Voice Swap 44:35 TPUSA Flop Fallout 47:35 Trump As Messiah 52:27 GOP Tells Pope Quiet 56:21 One Way Christian Nationalism 59:16 Who Counts As Christian 01:03:40 Task Force Irony 01:05:35 Reasons For Hope 01:08:40 Discord Hope Stories 01:08:55 Closing Hope Notes Subscribe for $3.65: ⁠https://axismundi.supercast.com/⁠ Subscribe to our free newsletter: ⁠https://swaj.substack.com/⁠ Order American Caesar by Brad Onishi: ⁠https://static.macmillan.com/static/essentials/american-caesar-9781250427922/⁠ Donate to SWAJ: https://axismundi.supercast.com/donations/new Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's Headlines: Trump announced a 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, claimed the Iran war is "going swimmingly," and said Iran agreed to hand over nuclear material — which Iran has not confirmed. The head of the International Energy Agency warned Europe has roughly six weeks of jet fuel left due to the Strait of Hormuz situation, with possible flight cancellations and energy shortages ahead. Congress failed for the third time to pass a War Powers resolution to curb the Iran war, this time losing 214-213. At $10 billion a week, the White House budget director refused to say how much the war will cost, explaining that costs "fluctuate." It was a full day of congressional hearings. RFK Jr. faced the first of seven back-to-back days of testimony. Trump nominated an actual doctor — a 24-year public health veteran — to lead the CDC, which is genuinely surprising. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll testified that he pushed back against Hegseth's general-firing spree, with Republicans on the committee taking his side. Pete Hegseth quoted Pulp Fiction instead of the Bible at a Pentagon prayer service. Budget director Russell Vought testified that DHS is "disintegrating." ICE deported 442,000 people last year, but only 38% had any kind of criminal record — pending charges included.Minnesota prosecutors charged a federal ICE agent with assault for pointing his gun at drivers on a state highway — the first case of its kind, with 17 more incidents under review. An 86-year-old French widow of an American military veteran has been in ICE detention since April 1st, after missing an immigration appointment while settling her late husband's estate — reportedly tipped off by his son over an inheritance dispute. A judge blocked above-ground construction on Trump's White House ballroom pending congressional authorization, though underground bunker work continues. His 250-foot DC arch cleared a federal design review despite massive public opposition. Spirit Airlines could liquidate as early as this week. United Airlines' CEO pitched Trump on merging with American Airlines — which would control nearly 40% of the global airline market. Democrats won New Jersey's special election by 59 points.

We break down the latest statements from the Vatican, the political fallout, and why this feud is escalating at a critical moment on the world stage. Meanwhile, things take a bizarre turn as Pete Hegseth attempts to invoke scripture—only to quote a line that turns out to be straight from Pulp Fiction. Yes, seriously. We unpack the viral moment, how it happened, and why it's raising eyebrows about media literacy, political theater, and just how blurred the lines have become between pop culture and public discourse.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:09] Trump Now Pushing "Clean" FISA Extension — Two Years After Calling for It to Be Killed Trump is pushing an 18-month FISA Section 702 reauthorization — the exact authority he called Congress to "KILL" in 2024 because it was used against him. He now says he's willing to give up citizens' rights so the military can use it in the Iran war. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:01] FISA Was Born to Sanitize Warrantless Surveillance — and Became a Blank Search Warrant for Everyone The Frank Church hearings were secretly about warrantless surveillance of Americans. FISA created a secret court that became a rubber stamp. Section 702 expanded it to collect any American's communications touching any foreign target. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:25:21] After Being Laughed Out of Court, Trump Returned With a Secret Grand Jury to Unmask the ICE Critic After using a 1930 customs law to demand Reddit user data on an ICE critic and being publicly challenged, the government returned secretly with a grand jury — bypassing the open court that stopped them. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:31:47] California Passed What Critics Call the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" — Criminalizing Investigative Journalism California's AB 2624 would penalize journalism exposing government-funded entities: misdemeanor charges, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedowns — the same playbook Kamala Harris used against Daleiden. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:03] Fed Money Growth Doubled in February — Printing Presses Back On Before Iran War Inflation Hits February money growth doubled to $198 billion from $82 billion in January — before any Iran war inflation has filtered through the supply chain. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:50:39] Arterburn: Trump's Tariffs and Iran War Together Are the Perfect Plan to Create a Global Energy Crisis If you wanted to engineer a global energy crisis and controlled demolition of the current financial system, Trump's war and tariffs are the reverse-engineered perfect plan. We haven't begun to feel the impact. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:09:59] World Economy Is 126 Trillion — But 800 Trillion If You Count All Currencies and Bonds Propping It Up Arderman: $800 trillion in currencies and instruments prop up a $126 trillion economy. Gold was 20% of the world economy in 1979. It's 3% now. Currency expansion plus rising energy prices is a recipe for absolute disaster. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:29:16] Pete Hegseth Delivered a "Prayer" to His Troops Lifted Word for Word From Pulp Fiction Hegseth read what he presented as a biblical prayer — which synced to Samuel L. Jackson's fake Ezekiel 25:17 from Pulp Fiction. The verse doesn't exist. Michael Flynn previously did the same using a New Age cult leader's prayer. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:43:49] Senate Voted 40-59 to Continue Arming Israel — Same Day Netanyahu Said Vance Reports to Him Daily A motion to stop funding Israel's weapons failed 40 to 59 — the same day Netanyahu told the Israeli people that JD Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:51:16] Netanyahu: JD Vance Called Me From His Plane to Report in Detail on the Negotiations Netanyahu stated Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." He added: the ceasefire explosion came from the American side — they refused to tolerate Iran's alleged violation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:54:55] Pentagon Is Now Planning a Cuba Military Operation — Trump Says "I Can Do Whatever I Want With It" The Pentagon began Cuba planning in January when Trump curbed oil shipments. Trump publicly said he could "take Cuba in some form" and added, "I think I can do anything I want to with it." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:58:40] Theologian: Israel's 80-Year US-Backed Military Campaign Looks Nothing Like Joshua's Miracle J.D. Hall: miracles don't require the Balfour Declaration and Rothschild banking networks. Joshua took the land in five years with farm implements. Israel has the world's most powerful backer for 80 years and still can't win. Perhaps the miracle is that they've been stopped. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff sits down with journalist, author, and former CNN anchor and Daily Beast Editor John Avlon—now with The Bulwark— for a fast, insightful, and hopeful conversation about how to fix American politics—before it breaks us. From Iran and the spiraling Middle East crisis, to Trump's second term, to the Democrats' brand problem, Avlon brings his “How to Fix It” mindset to moderates, independents, veterans, and frustrated voters who are tired of the bullshit and hungry for reality-based solutions. They dig into the rise of independent voters, the weakness of the Democrat brand, the failure of both parties to provide real leadership, the dangers of performative extremism, and what Teddy Roosevelt's “man in the arena” can teach us about citizenship, courage, and showing up in 2026 and 2028. They also get personal. Avlon opens up about running for Congress on Long Island, what he learned knocking on doors as a Democrat in a purple district, and why he still believes in persuasion politics in an age of rage clicks and echo chambers. He talks about raising kids in a deeply political household, the strain and purpose of public service, and how patriots can reclaim words like “freedom” and “democracy” from the extremes. If you're an independent, a disillusioned Democrat or Republican, or just someone trying to stay informed without losing your mind, this episode will give you information, inspiration, and impact—and help you stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
