Podcasts about Republic

In episode 794 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, the Republic of Bad Cryptopia is going through major life upgrades. Travis has officially moved to Dubai to become Chief Innovation & Web3 Marketing Officer at MultiBank.io, leading their $MBG token, RWA plays, and a wild new partnership with UFC legend Khabib that involves tokenized gyms. Meanwhile, Joel’s getting married in Breckenridge, rebooting his personal YouTube channel, dropping weekly AI for Everyone episodes, and shaping a new book built from decades of entrepreneurial stories. Then we zoom out and ask the big question: where are we really in this market? Bitcoin has dipped back near the $100K line, alts are bleeding, and total crypto market cap has shed nearly a trillion dollars from the peak. Joel argues the classic 4-year cycle is breaking as nation-states, institutions, and a pro-crypto president pile in… while Travis reminds us that crypto has a nasty habit of wrecking your best assumptions (and your dream Mustang) right when you think you’ve figured it out. Volatility, bull-market “top” indicators, and long-term conviction all collide in one brutally honest convo. This episode is a reset: two blockheads, two dudes talking crypto, life, AI, politics, poop, and everything in between — the way the show started, before “no banter” media people tried to tame it. If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise of headlines and just wanted to hang with a couple of over-50 degen uncles trying to figure it out in real time… this one’s for you.

Buckle up, patriots—it's a brutal postmortem on the 2025 off-year bloodbath that has conservatives reeling and the deep state smirking. From Zohran Mamdani's shocking socialist surge to NYC's mayoral throne—quoting Marxist icons who crushed freedoms abroad—to Abigail Spanberger's iron grip on Virginia's governorship and Jay Jones' vengeful ascent as AG, Democrats didn't just win; they weaponized the vote. Joe Oltmann blasts the undeniable: "We haven't won a single election since November 2024—the legacy set is rigged." Mark Cook warns we're "one or two elections from Venezuela," zero doubt. This isn't random; it's a calculated assault on the Republic, from NJ's blue wave to Virginia's radical rematch. Tune in as we dissect the fraud fingerprints and rally the roar against a system screaming for reform.Enter the unyielding warriors on the front lines: Lori Gimelshteyn, founder of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN), storms the airwaves to expose leftism's siege on our kids. This patriot mom turned national firebrand mobilized 35,000 signatures to gut HB25-1312's speech-crushing tyranny, co-leads landmark lawsuits shredding school districts for secret gender transitions, firing "proud American" deans, and stripping dads of medical rights over mutilating teens. From her triumphant National School Choice bash—to the gut-wrenching Rocky Mountain Summit unveiling gender-affirming horrors via whistleblowers like Jamie Reed, Lori's battle cry echoes: parents, not the state, rule the roost. Hear her unfiltered fury on SEL indoctrination traps, custody kidnappings, and the medical mafia's grip—plus blueprints for every family to fight back. If Colorado's a battleground, Lori's the general we need nationwide.But the chill wind from NYC's Mamdani victory isn't just blue—it's a Sharia shadow creeping into Times Square, where crowds chant for Islam in every home and liberals cheer, blind to burqas and ballot-or-bullet threats from Muslim Brotherhood blueprints. Curtis Sliwa's dire warning rings true: Van Jones laments the "missed outreach," but we see the endgame—socialist jihadis remaking the Big Apple in Nehru's nightmare mold. As fallout erupts, we pivot to raw reaction: Fax-Blast Congress with our Tina Peters thunderbolt, demanding her pardon from Biden's dungeon for daring to decode Dominion's dark code. Free this Gold Star mom, ban the machines, mandate paper ballots and voter ID—or 2026 seals our fate in server-farm slavery. Join the uprising: listen, act, and arm yourself before the machines steal.

Let debate rage for days, then vote, as the founders intended; end the antique veto and force both parties to own their visions before the people…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're about to embark on a stunning period of Rome's history in the middle Republic. Strap yourself in, this one is going to a take more a couple of episodes. We are, of course, dealing with the years that were 391/390 BCE. We begin with some of the important details that emerge for the latter part of 391 BCE which will have flow on effects for 390 BCE, which is the big ticket year that we'll be navigating in this episode.The title may have given a little away, but the Gauls are in Italy. North Italy specifically, but they are going to be travelling south and pretty soon they arrive on the doorstep of Clusium.Clusium, Rome's new bestie?The Etruscan people of the city of Clusium seek support from the Romans. Unusual, yes, good for storytelling, also yes. Clusium is deep in Etruscan territory and yet it seems the Romans are willing to send a delegation to see what the Gaulish fuss is all about. The delegation is made up solely of Fabians, who are apparently meant to be neutral, but that aspect of the situation falls away pretty quickly when one of them kills a leader of the Gauls...The Battle of the AliaRome (and particularly the Fabians) have really upset the Gauls so much so, that the Gauls make a bee-line for Rome moving swiftly through Etruscan territory to arrive at the point where the Tiber meets the Alia, just north of Rome. The speed of the Gallic movement catches the Romans off-guard and that's just the beginning of their woes.Things to listen out for:Who is King Brennus?“All things belong to the brave”Quintus Fabius gets right out of lineThe Gauls send envoys to RomeDiodorus Siculus - more accurate than Livy?Did Dionysius of Syracuse hire the Gauls as mercenaries?The search for somewhere cool?For our full show notes and edited transcripts, head on over to https://partialhistorians.com/Support the showPatreonKo-FiRead our booksRex: The Seven Kings of RomeYour Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire Hosted on Acast.

The 2025 elections were a wake-up call.Identity politics failed. Outrage didn't move voters. And many Christians stayed home.If we don't give people something to fight for—something to love—we lose the Republic.Here's the Point

We'll let Benjamin Sando, research fellow at the Global Taiwan Institute, and our guest for this week's episode, describe the topic: “From the early days of Han Taiwanese society, through the period of Kuomintang (KMT, 國民黨) martial law and on to the era of democratization, the influence of Taiwan's gangs has evolved. The activity of some gangs (but not all) has spread beyond extracting profit from local territory – through extortion, prostitution, and gambling – to international transactions involving drug, arms, and human trafficking. This has sowed connections between certain Taiwanese gangs and foreign actors, such as Chinese triads and government officials engaging in united front work for the People's Republic of China (PRC). As elections become more competitive in Taiwan, gangs have leveraged their control of prominent Taiwanese temples to influence politicians seeking support from religious communities. Such deep-rooted connections between gangs and local communities obstruct democratic development based on transparency and open debate, especially in Taiwan's rural areas.”NOTE: This episode has been significantly edited to attempt to adhere to the mostly non-political official stance of the Formosa Files podcast. To hear/watch the full one-hour, almost unedited version, visit Kaohsiung Times → “Long-Form” → “Formosa Files.”

Power shifts, and suddenly, what was heresy becomes doctrine. In this episode, we explore the rise of dangerous ideologies slipping into the mainstream. When fear is the dominant Force in the galaxy, who decides what's right? Some ancient groups are whispering again, and their message is finding willing ears. The line between order and oppression? Blurred. What happens next might change the Jedi — and the Republic — forever.We hope you enjoy today's show.

Recorded October 2nd, 2025. Thinking Aloud, Thinking Together is a new series of live and recorded conversations amplifying voices that have been silenced in Irish cultural life. It gives space to artists, writers and thinkers who offer radical new perspectives on existing narratives. Our first conversation takes the form of a podcast series. Entitled 'In the Half Light: Voices from Black Ireland', this podcast is delivered in partnership with the Museum of Literature Ireland and curated by Dr Phil Mullen (Assistant Professor of Black Studies at Trinity College Dublin and a leading researcher on the historical experiences of 'mixed-race' people growing up in Ireland). Using the audio format, Phil has created an anonymised, open space for 'mixed-race' people who grew up in Irish care institutions to explore the impact of their erasure from institutional abuse history and discourse in Ireland. Through this conversation, she aims to undo that erasure, one voice at a time. Phil will be in conversation with journalist and researcher Caelainn Hogan. The conversation will be chaired by writer Eoin McNamee. This event is organised in partnership with the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and Trinity Research in Social Sciences. Speakers Dr Phil Mullen is Assistant Professor of Black Studies and located in the Department of Sociology. She teaches on the Trinity elective which introduces students to the epistemology of Black Studies as an intellectual pursuit. This is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field of knowledge that interrogates historical events that have impacted on those who are racialised as Black, while centring the perspectives of Black people in constructing and deconstructing these events. Sheleads a research project to recover the lived experiences and sociological impact of African students who came to Trinity in the early 20th century, which amplifies our understanding of Blackness in pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland. Caelainn Hogan is a writer and journalist from Dublin. Her first book Republic of Shame investigates the ongoing legacy of Ireland's religious-run, state-funded institutions and the shame-industrial complex that incarcerated women and children. She has written for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, National Geographic, The Guardian, VICE, Harper's, The Washington Post, The Dublin Review and more. Eoin McNamee is a novelist and screenwriter. His nineteen novels include Resurrection Man and the Blue Trilogy. He has written six Young Adult novels including the New York Times bestselling The Navigator, and three thrillers under the John Creed pseudonym. He wrote the screenplay for the film Resurrection Man directed by Marc Evans and I Want You directed by Michael Winterbottom. His television credits include Hinterland (BBC Wales/Netflix) and An Brontanas (TG4). He has written seven radio plays for BBC R4. He is the Director of the Trinity Oscar Wilde Centre and Co-Director of the M.Phil in Creative Writing Course at Trinity College Dublin. Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub

Every now and then, America drags its elites out of the faculty lounge and into the street fair. It doesn't matter if the excuse is a war, a crisis, or—this time—the 250th birthday of the country. Eventually, the people who think they're running the story are reminded that they're just living in it. That's what's happening now: the same class that spent a decade deconstructing the flag is being told to wave it. The same pundits who said “America was never great” are now workshopping how to make patriotism sound inclusive.The Great Patriotic Heist, they called it—the Left's plan to steal back the language of the Republic before Trump's fireworks light up the sky in 2026. But something unexpected is happening. The performance is starting to take.At first, this was supposed to be patriotic drag—ironic flag-waving, focus-grouped “love of country” speeches, and diversity parades that felt as managed as corporate training videos. It was meant to be safe, even antiseptic. But you can't play with fire without getting burned. Pretending to love something, especially something as big and unruly as America, has a way of sneaking past the mask. Before long, the act starts to feel like belief.That's how America wins—not through conquest, but through absorption. It's cultural judo. The Default Republic doesn't shout down its critics; it invites them to the barbecue. It doesn't exile dissenters; it makes them neighbors. Everyone who tries to overthrow it eventually becomes part of it. The Puritans became merchants. The rebels became regulators. The hippies became consultants. The Republic doesn't punish revolution—it digests it.Now it's digesting the Left's moral managerial class. The people who spent years treating patriotism like a symptom of privilege are suddenly out in the sun with people who don't apologize before loving their country. And it's changing them. Because the thing they thought they were parodying—this easy, unselfconscious affection for the Republic—is exactly what they've been missing.The great secret of American normalcy is that it isn't ideological. It's a temperament—a default mode of stubborn optimism. The 80 percent of Americans who still think the country's worth arguing over don't live on Twitter. They don't see patriotism as a brand or a trauma; it's just part of the background music of belonging. They grill, they vote, they raise kids and hope they do better. They're the ballast—the rowers in the galley who keep the ship moving while the captains yell about ideology from the deck.That's why every attempt to control the national mood eventually dissolves. The Default Republic doesn't fight back; it absorbs. It takes whatever the intellectual class invents—critical theory, corporate virtue, even performative patriotism—and turns it into background noise.The irony is that while the Left thinks it's teaching America to be moral again, America is teaching the Left how to be human again. The activist who goes to “monitor extremism” at a small-town parade ends up humming the marching-band tune. The journalist covering “reactionary patriotism” wipes a tear during the fireworks. It's not conversion; it's contagion.By 2026, the great rebranding of patriotism will look less like propaganda and more like repentance. The country's critics will have become its defenders without realizing it. They'll call it progress, or “inclusive nationalism,” but the rest of us will just call it Tuesday.Because in America, everyone eventually comes home. The Republic doesn't need to win the argument; it only needs to outlast it. And when the fireworks burst again over the National Mall, the nation won't be healed—just reminded that underneath all the noise, the Republic is still there, humming along, unbothered, undefeated.The Default Republic always wins—not because it's right, but because it never stops inviting people back.

Every few generations, America forgets how to argue and starts to dance instead. This time the excuse is the 250th birthday — the Semiquincentennial, a word that sounds like it was cooked up by a government subcommittee. But behind the bureaucratic branding, something strange is happening. The same cultural class that once rolled its eyes at patriotism is now rediscovering flags, fireworks, and the word “Republic.” The same people who called the Founders colonizers are suddenly quoting them. It's as if the left decided to go on a national Rumspringa — to step outside its echo chamber and see how the rest of America actually lives.At first, this was just The Great Patriotic Heist — a marketing strategy meant to stop Trump from owning the 250th anniversary. Progressive elites thought they could perform patriotism without believing it, using flags as props and slogans like “defend democracy” as emotional camouflage. But America has a funny way of reshaping everyone who touches it. Pretend long enough, and the pretending starts to feel real. The Left wanted to rebrand patriotism; instead, patriotism is rebranding them.That's how the Default Republic wins — not through power or ideology, but through absorption. It doesn't conquer its critics; it invites them to dinner. It doesn't punish hypocrisy; it forgives it. It's the quiet, unbreakable America that exists between extremes — the one that works, pays taxes, cheers at Little League games, and thinks the country's still worth arguing about. It's not the cathedral or the revolution. It's the barbecue in between.The managerial class doesn't understand this because it was trained to see belonging as a system, not a feeling. They think patriotism is something you teach through messaging campaigns and moral supervision. But patriotism isn't pedagogy — it's muscle memory. It's the unselfconscious act of standing for something larger than yourself. It's what happens when belief outlasts irony.That's why the “new patriotism” the Left is trying to choreograph feels more like theater than conviction. It's carefully diverse, emotionally calibrated, algorithmically sincere. But America has always been a place where sincerity can't be faked. You can't focus-group affection. You can only live near it until it gets under your skin. The Left thought they were managing a narrative; the Republic knew it was hosting a conversion.And conversions are contagious. Once you've sung along to “God Bless America” at a minor league game, it's hard to go back to sneering at flags. Once you've seen ordinary people — plumbers, nurses, veterans — celebrate something together without cynicism, you start to suspect that the real rebellion isn't against the country but against despair itself.That's what makes the Default Republic undefeatable. It's not ideological. It's gravitational. Every attempt to overthrow it eventually gets absorbed — the Puritans became merchants, the rebels became bureaucrats, the hippies became consultants. The Republic doesn't fight revolutions; it metabolizes them.By the time America hits its 250th, that metabolism will have done its work again. The activists who came to police the parades will find themselves clapping along. The journalists covering “performative patriotism” will find themselves moved. And the country — messy, vulgar, generous — will go on doing what it does best: forgiving everyone for coming home late.The lesson isn't that America is perfect. It's that it's patient. The Republic doesn't need to win the argument; it only needs to outlast it.And when the fireworks burst in 2026, the think pieces will call it reconciliation, or narrative evolution, or managed healing. But it won't be any of that. It'll just be America doing what it always does — absorbing the noise, baptizing the cynics, and reminding everyone that you don't have to like the song to learn the chorus.Because in the end, belief here isn't something you think. It's something you sing.

In this episode, we trace how the horse-head fiddle has evolved in the People's Republic of China — from a traditional steppe instrument to a cultural symbol reshaped through state representation and modern performance. We discuss how it is made, taught, and performed in China, how it is portrayed in Chinese institutions, and how young Mongols today engage with the instrument as a way to express identity, creativity, and belonging in contemporary China. Our guest, Ying Song from Zhejiang University, is a PhD candidate in sociology whose research focuses on the horse-head fiddle and its role in shaping Mongolian identity. Beyond academia, she has also curated cultural exhibitions and organized numerous Mongolian music-sharing events, which you can find in the link below. Ning Ao is a PhD student at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies (ACE) at Lund University. Her research looks at generational differences among Chinese Mongols.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 3, 2025. 0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Federal Government spent less money in 2025 than it did in 2024. Some details are finally coming out about the alleged Halloween Terror Plot in Michigan.The FBI filed a 73 page complaint in court against 2 men under the age of 21 and a teenager. Tomorrow is election day in several states across the country.New York City will be selecting a new mayor, and most polls say communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani will win easily. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity. 16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three. In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election. 26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year. We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went. We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division. 36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot. 40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city. As President Trump calls to deploy the National Guard to restore order, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and federal courts have resisted — even as the Supreme Court signals growing concern. The people of Chicago will continue to suffer so long as they continue to vote for Democrats who hate Donald Trump. It's time for somebody to step up and say, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with Scott Johnson, a STEAM teacher at Red Cross Elementary in Kentucky, whose creativity and compassion changed a young boy’s life.

In this episode, we trace how the horse-head fiddle has evolved in the People's Republic of China — from a traditional steppe instrument to a cultural symbol reshaped through state representation and modern performance. We discuss how it is made, taught, and performed in China, how it is portrayed in Chinese institutions, and how young Mongols today engage with the instrument as a way to express identity, creativity, and belonging in contemporary China. Our guest, Ying Song from Zhejiang University, is a PhD candidate in sociology whose research focuses on the horse-head fiddle and its role in shaping Mongolian identity. Beyond academia, she has also curated cultural exhibitions and organized numerous Mongolian music-sharing events, which you can find in the link below.

In every era, the people face a defining question: Will they build a future worthy of free people or slip into the managed decline of debt, speculation and cultural decay? The answer turns not on temporary political moods but on the system of political economy a nation chooses as its operating philosophy. There are two competing systems in modern history. One system treats money as the measure of value, markets as the arbiter of destiny and society as an arena of consumption, competition and extraction. Under this system, banks and asset values are placed above labor and production. Financial engineering replaces physical engineering, and speculative gains masquerade as economic growth. This is the monetarist system. The other system measures value not in money but in the productive powers of labor. It treats human creativity as the source of wealth, public credit as a tool of national purpose and infrastructure as the foundation for rising living standards. Under this system, progress is defined by increasing productive output, rising real wages, expanding scientific capabilities and improved conditions of life for each generation. This is the credit system, also known as the productive economy. Every great advance in American development came from the credit system. Every major period of decline followed a retreat into monetarism. The United States now stands at a decisive moment. Decades of financialization, offshoring, infrastructure neglect and cultural fragmentation have hollowed out the economic and civic foundations of the republic. We must again choose the system that builds nations, not the one that extracts from them. This is a call not only for economic reform, but for civic renewal. It is the blueprint for a National Credit and Productive Investment Era—a return to building a high-wage, high-energy, high-technology republic.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the arrest of two Islamic radicals in Michigan, a surprising reversal from a sanctuary county in Maryland, and President Trump's growing call to end the Senate filibuster — not just to reopen the government, but to save the nation. Terror Plot Foiled in Michigan: The FBI arrested two 20-year-olds in Dearborn, Michigan, for planning ISIS-inspired suicide attacks targeting gay nightclubs on Halloween. Court documents reveal the men trained with live ammo, studied Paris's 2015 terror tactics, and hoped to "kill as many as possible." Bryan warns the arrests highlight a deeper problem — a U.S. subculture that excuses or supports radical Islam. Dearborn's Islamist Culture: From pro-Hamas rallies to officials praising Hezbollah, Dearborn has become a flashpoint for extremism in America. Polling shows 60 percent of U.S. Muslims believe Hamas was justified in its October 7 attacks. Bryan urges listeners to be brave: "We can honor due process and still acknowledge the truth — radical Islam is real, and it's here." Sanctuary County Reverses Course: Baltimore County, Maryland, quietly ended its "sanctuary" status, agreeing to cooperate with ICE on deportations. The move contrasts sharply with states like Massachusetts and California, which still block ICE from removing violent offenders. Bryan says the shift proves local leaders are feeling political pressure as public frustration rises. Trump's Filibuster Fight: As the shutdown drags on, Trump called for eliminating the Senate filibuster to pass key reforms. Some Republicans, including John Thune and Mike Johnson, oppose the idea, fearing Democrats could abuse that power later. Bryan argues that Democrats have already shown they'll destroy norms when convenient — and that saving the Republic now may require breaking tradition. The Bigger Picture: Bryan closes with a stark warning: "We are no longer dealing with the Democrats of JFK or even Bill Clinton. This is a radical party — one that calls Trump a Nazi and believes violence is justified. It's time to recognize that reality and act before it's too late."   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dearborn Michigan terror arrests, ISIS nightclub attack plot, radical Islam U.S. culture, Baltimore County ends sanctuary policy, ICE deportation cooperation, Trump filibuster repeal debate, John Thune Senate GOP filibuster, government shutdown reform, Bryan Dean Wright analysis

The Texas Longhorns' penchant for late-game fireworks nearly cost them yet again, leaving a window for Vanderbilt to try and recover an onside kick to send the game to overtime. Texas put up a huge number early and led by multiple scores for most of the game, but a combination of blown coverage and poor officiating left the door open.

Today, a tiny fraction of New York City voters will enable a “Trojan horse” to be wheeled into their mayor's office in the person of the Democratic candidate, Zohran Mamdani.  Worse yet, he may prove to be a horseman of the apocalypse.  A recent, chilling VictoryCo.org webinar documented Mamdani's ominous personification of the “Red-Green axis” forged by a shared goal of destroying our constitutional Republic.  His candidacy has drawn heavily on the national manpower of the Marxist Democratic Socialists of America. Mamdani also converted to Islam, resulting in substantial financing from jihadist groups, including the Council on American Islamic Relations.    And his strain of Islam is a Shiite death-cult whose adherents – notably, the “12er” leaders of Iran – believe they must cause apocalyptic destruction now to prompt their messiah violently to achieve Muslim rule worldwide.  God help New York City, and America. This is Frank Gaffney.

November 3, 1880. Congressman James Garfield wakes up on his quiet farm in Ohio to learn that he's been elected President of the United States. He never campaigned to be on the ticket. He never wanted the presidency. But the nation, weary of corruption and hungry for reform, has chosen him to lead. But four months after taking office, Garfield will be shot by a man who believes he's owed a government position. And the president's short, remarkable life will end in tragedy. This week, we're talking with writer and showrunner Mike Makowsky, creator of the new Netflix series Death by Lightning, about the extraordinary story of America's forgotten president. How did Garfield rise from poverty to the presidency? What might he have achieved if he'd lived? And what does his assassination reveal about political violence, then and now? Death by Lightning releases on Netflix on November 6th. It's an adaptation of Destiny of the Republic by Candace Millard, which we also consulted for this episode. -- Get in touch: historythisweekpodcast@history.com  Follow on Instagram: @historythisweek Follow on Facebook: ⁠HISTORY This Week Podcast⁠ To stay updated: http://historythisweekpodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Republican Fire: Manet, Gambetta, and the War That Declared a French Republic. Sebastian Smee discusses how Édouard Manet's family wanted him to pursue law or the Navy, but he became a passionate, anti-autocratic Republican inspired by the 1848 uprisings. Manet established himself as an activist painter, creating works protesting Napoleon III's policies. Léon Gambetta became Manet's friend and the leading moderate Republican lawyer. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 began under Napoleon III, but the French were crushed. When Napoleon III surrendered and went into exile, a Republic was declared in Paris. The victory was bittersweet: Paris was immediately surrounded by Prussian troops, and the entire male population joined the National Guard. However, France was defeated, leading to a humiliating surrender in January 1871. The trauma was reflected subtly in the Impressionists' art.

3. LONDINIUM 91 CE. Hollywood and Rome. Gaius and Germanicus concluded their meeting by critiquing Hollywood's portrayal of Roman decline, focusing on Gladiator 2. Gaius admitted he could not finish the film due to its historically inaccurate conclusion. The film's ultimate payoff—the removal of bad emperors and the return to the Republic—is viewed as fundamentally wrong. Gaius argued that empires do not revert to republics, as the republic was "aged out" and the empire was necessary, suggesting that Hollywood confuses the word "republic" with "democracy." Germanicus elaborated on this distortion, noting that societies frequently look back and shape the past into a "golden age" from which they have fallen. The founders of the American republic were informed by Rome and Greece, viewing Rome as a morality play detailing triumph, tragedy, and the ultimate loss of virtue. This tradition of distortion was reinforced by Gibbon's Decline and Fall, which packaged the later empire as corrupted by "barbarism and religion" to suit the ideals of the Enlightenment. This historical lens persists, leading to a simplistic modern conventional wisdom, especially prevalent in Hollywood media, that "republic is good, empire is bad." Hollywood fails to recognize that the imperial institution maintained many of the Republic's institutions and sensibilities. Furthermore, the media elite confuses the Roman imperial office with a "mafia don" or "banana republic dictatorship." The speakers concluded that while they see the world "as it is," American aspirations (like those reflected in Hollywood) see the world "as they want it to be." AGRIPPINA MINOR Retry

Stephen Miran isn’t auditioning to run the Federal Reserve. He’s auditioning to destroy it. Like so many in Trump’s sphere, Miran was selected for his ability to appear like he’s doing the right thing and making the tough choices. In reality, he exists to destroy the thing he’s spent his entire life trying to be a part of. Miran is a highly educated and competent analyst whose academic veneer and projection of empathy belie his craven desire for power and to eradicate the independence of the Fed and place it under direct authority and control of the president. And make no mistake, when Jerome Powell’s term is up, this is who will be in charge of the Fed.

This week: Mars finishes its journey through Scorpio with an aspect to Neptune, then charges into Sagittarius and connects with Uranus and Pluto. The Taurus Full Moon gives an opportunity to evaluate the world on a practical level, while Venus goes deep, immersing itself in Scorpio and aspecting Pluto. Uranus circles back to the sign of Taurus for a short stay, and Mercury embarks on its latest retrograde period. And a listener question about how to combine various forecasting techniques in a reading. Plus: the Scorpio-Pluto Venn Diagram overlap, paying with cash, and the astrologer as a woodworker!

Eric and Eliot discuss the GOP's ongoing Nazi problem and the growing danger of anti-Semitism on the right. They debunk President Trump's false claims about America's nuclear arsenal, then pivot to a conversation about alliance management. Eliot shares insights from a recent trip to Canada, highlighting the damage Trump has done to America's relationship with its northern neighbor. They broaden the discussion to other allies, including the “special relationship” with the UK and the often-prickly partnership with France. Finally, they examine the administration's lawlessness at sea and its refusal to allow Congressional oversight as it escalates pressure on Venezuela. Show Notes: Eric & Frank Miller's latest on arms control: President Trump, Don't Fall into Putin's Arms Control Trap Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
