Connectteam: 14 day free trial at https://connecteam.cc/46GxoTF Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this special 100th episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into today's most pressing issues—from the chaos of government shutdowns and the relentless battle over healthcare, to the power of propaganda in mainstream media and the economic forces shaping our society. They break down the realities behind headline-grabbing policies, exposing how both sides of the political spectrum spin the narrative and why it's critical to do your own research before forming opinions. You'll hear Tom's unfiltered take on the dangers of “revolutionary empathy,” inspired by Eric Weinstein's insights, and how shifts in empathy and radical polarization are fueling a climate ripe for violence and unrest. The conversation also explores the harsh truths of wealth inequality, the illusion of economic progress, and why the stock market's highs aren't translating to a better life for most Americans. Drew brings in sharp counterpoints and timely clips—touching on everything from mass media censorship to the controversial culture wars playing out in children's entertainment and on social platforms. Plus, there's a candid look at the escalation of global conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, and how warfare is evolving in ways that stretch far beyond the battlefield. Through it all, Tom emphasizes the importance of personal empowerment: how individuals can still win—economically and mentally—despite a society seemingly stacked against them. Buckle up for an intense, eye-opening, and occasionally hilarious episode packed with actionable advice, hard truths, and a call to cut through the noise in pursuit of real understanding.

Paul Thomas Anderson himself cited 1988's RUNNING ON EMPTY as a direct influence on the new ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, and it's not difficult to see the rhymes between these two films about former revolutionaries trying to protect their kids from the consequences of their parents' past. We'll get into those rhymes more next week, but first we devote some time to Sidney Lumet's 1988 film, which is less cat-and-mouse chase than coming-of-age family drama, anchored by a remarkable River Phoenix as the teenage son of former anti-war protesters on the run from the law. Unlike with PTA's film, there are no real bad guys in RUNNING ON EMPTY, only problems to negotiate within a rich family dynamic that is both delightful in its specificity and heartbreaking in its fragility. After that, we field some Feedback from listeners about our recent episodes on HIGHEST 2 LOWEST and THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? Please share your thoughts about RUNNING ON EMPTY, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

1. The Prosperous Mariner Community of Marblehead and its Revolutionary Leadership Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Marblehead was the second-largest port city in Massachusetts and a thriving cosmopolitan community, with a population estimated at about 5,000. Its economy relied heavily on fishing, specifically codfish from the Grand Banks, which were salted and traded globally via a massive merchant fleet. This commerce fostered some of the wealthiest men in the colonies. Key leaders included Jeremiah Lee, a man of enormous wealth and influence, and John Glover, a scrappy, stocky, red-haired self-made man who started as a cobbler and built a successful fleet of ships. These men, along with Elbridge Gerry, were prominent members of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, sitting on crucial committees of supply and safety. They leveraged their trade routes to bring in vital resources, such as gunpowder and cannon, securing Spain as the colonies' "first foreign aid" in 1774. Glover led the Marblehead Regiment, which was notably diverse, including African Americans like Caesar Glover and Romeo, who sailed and fought together.

Movements often start in the name of liberating people from their oppressors—capitalists, foreign imperialists, or dictators in their own country. Revolutionaries rally the masses in the name of freedom, only to become more tyrannical than those they replaced. Much has been written about the anatomy of revolution but what is missing is a dissection of the revolutionary minds that destroyed the old for the creation of a more harmful new. Join us as Dr. Donald Critchlow explores basic questions about the revolutionary personality, and examines how these revolutionaries came to envision themselves as prophets of a new age.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On January 8, 1959, Fidel Castro and his ragtag army marched into Havana and proclaimed victory in the Cuban revolution. Much of the world knew Cuba primarily from its 1930 megahit "El Manicero" ("The Peanut Vendor") and from the mambo craze of the 1950's. After Castro came to power, the economic, political and cultural doors between Cuba and the U.S. would soon be shut. The doors opened briefly for tours by Cuban artists in the U.S. during the Carter and Clinton administrations. In this broadcast, we savor sounds from the pre-Revolutionary golden age of Cuban music that sets the scene for the international success of Cuban music. We illustrate how popular music in Africa and the Americas is not imaginable without the influence of Cuban music--copied and adapted on three continents. We'll hear the stories and rare recordings of such core styles as son - as well as luminaries like Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodriguez, Celia Cruz and the Sexteto Habanero; along with less well known artists.

Welcome back to Powder to Parchment on WREV 760AM, where we bring you Revolutionary Talk straight from the heart of 1775. Today we turn our attention to Benedict Arnold, and not the man remembered for betrayal, but the soldier who was still a hero.On October 3, 1775, Arnold and more than a thousand men began their march north through the wilds of Maine, bound for Quebec. They carried bateaux that leaked, maps that lied, and provisions that would soon rot, yet they carried also the hopes of General Washington and the survival of the Revolution.Arnold had already seized Fort Ticonderoga, yet Congress treated him with suspicion and scorn. Washington, however, saw fire and trusted him with a bold gamble. If Quebec could be taken, Canada might join the American cause.This is the story of ambition, boldness, and the making of a Revolutionary hero.

Mass demonstrations have exploded across Europe to block everything for Gaza. A general strike has been declared in Italy and students have begun a strike in Spain. War materials en route to Israel have already been stopped at multiple ports. This is the way forward: mass mobilization, strikes, blockades, and a coordinated workers' boycott. We need to bring that same spirit here: fight like the Italians, and block everything. Joel and Marco discuss the lessons from the events in Europe and how we can bring these fighting class struggle methods to Canada.

Welcome back to Powder to Parchment on WREV 760AM, Norwich's home for Revolutionary Talk. Today, October 2, 1775, we turn to Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress takes up an idea as bold as it is dangerous: creating a navy.John Adams rises and declares, “Without a navy we cannot do much.” His words cut through the dust and hesitation of the chamber. Yet the room divides. Adams sees survival in schooners and privateers; John Dickinson sees danger in expense and provocation. Boldness against caution, liberty against reconciliation.Meanwhile, across the ocean, King George drafts his speech branding us rebels and his ministers hire Hessians to finish the job. So which will it be, Norwich? Ships or speeches? Schooners or supplication? Stay tuned... Revolutionary Talk begins now.

It's October 1, 1775, and WREV 760AM is on the air, bringing you "Revolutionary Talk" with your firebrand host, Dave Diamond. Word from Cambridge is not good. Shocking even.

Grab a mug of ale and fill your pipe, settle back in front of the fire as Dave brings you the news of the day as only he can.

This episode walks along the wonderfully-named rue du Paradis. I was inspired by the beautiful ceramic murals here, and by the 1790s party hostess, Madame Hamelin. The fashionista-Merveilleuses are a fascinating aspect of the Directoire post-Revolutionary era; Josephine Bonaparte herself was part of this fast crowd, and lived nearby for a while. For photos, please check out my website. Thanks as always to Bremner Fletcher for technical expertise and general know-how.

In the run-up to marking the nation's 250th anniversary next year, Ben Jones talks to historian, author, and podcaster Albert Zambone about his biography of Daniel Morgan.

Starting a ketamine clinic can mean challenging the status quo - and that can feel isolating when colleagues question your vision or patients don't understand the treatment. But here's what's reassuring: every major breakthrough in medicine started with physicians who were willing to stand alone and persist through doubt.In this compilation episode, we're featuring three remarkable doctors who faced the exact same resistance you might be experiencing. Each was told their ideas wouldn't work. Each had colleagues who doubted them. And each proved that individual practitioners can create massive change when they refuse to take "no" for an answer.Dr. Howard Kornfeld revolutionized addiction medicine by advocating for buprenorphine years before anyone believed in it. Dr. Joe Tafur bridges traditional healing with modern ketamine therapy despite skepticism from both sides. And Dr. Mel Herbert transformed global medical education from a single idea that everyone initially dismissed.These aren't just inspiring stories - they're road maps for how to navigate the challenges in the medical space. If you're building a practice or considering taking the leap, their experiences will show you that the resistance you face isn't a sign you're wrong - it's often a sign you're onto something important.What You'll Learn in This Episode・ How medical pioneers overcome institutional resistance and persist through years of colleagues doubting their vision・ Revolutionary approaches to addiction medicine including Dr. Kornfeld's early advocacy for buprenorphine treatment・ Bridging traditional and modern healing through Dr. Tafur's integration of ceremonial medicine with ketamine therapy・ Global medical education transformation and how Dr. Herbert built a company impacting training in 160+ countries despite never wanting to be an entrepreneurEpisode 41 show notes:00:00 Teaser - “I didn't want to be an entrepreneur…”00:23 Welcome To The Podcast01:36 Dr. Howard Kornfeld: The Power of Small Groups & Early Mentorship02:37 Buprenorphine Breakthrough & Early Adoption13:09 Dr. Joe Tafur: His perspective on colleague resistance21:11 Bridging Worlds: First Ketamine Ceremony21:34 Dr. Mel Herbert: The Birth of EM:RAP Vision22:51 Overcoming Initial Rejections23:21 Building Global Impact30:01 Finding Meaning in Simple Medicine30:23 Ending & ResourcesThanks for listeningListen to each of their full conversations:

9-28-25 Biblical-Lit Mark continued teaching the book of Romans with a focus on Chapter 6:5-7. How do we live when God forgives sins? We have been transformed. 3 verses Verse 5. The Certainty of our union with Christ. For If we have been United to Christ in death, then certainly we will have a resurrection like His. Verse 6: The old self crucified. We have been co-crucified with Christ. Knowledge vs. Feelings. Verse 7: Deaths brings freedom If you have died to sin, you've been set free from sin. Points for home  Know the truth  Process the implications  Learn to use the tools that God has given us. Listen to Mark talk about the power of uniting with Christ through baptism. We are redeemed.The old self has died. We are transformed a little more each day into the likeness of Christ

In a world that is constantly moving, it's easy to feel run down and restless. But God offers us rest — a rest that is rooted in a past promise, a present reality, and a future blessing. In today's message, Pastor Ron Zappia opens to Hebrews 4 to share 3 unshakeable truths for us to enter, experience, and enjoy God's rest.   This message was originally preached at Highpoint Church on Sunday, September 21, 2025 Title: The Rest is Real, Refreshing, and Revolutionary Passage: Hebrews 4:1-11   For more info about Highpoint Church, or to find a location near you, visit our website at https://highpoint.church.   Connect with Pastor Ron on Instagram @ronzappia, or find more Bible teaching at https://ronzappia.com

Breht speaks with veteran organizer, revolutionary strategist, and author Eric Mann. In this wide-ranging conversation, Mann reflects on his decades of struggle; from his early work with SNCC and SDS, through his involvement with the Weather Underground and his time as a political prisoner, to his rank-and-file organizing as a UAW autoworker. Along the way, Mann wrestles with the realities of repression and counterinsurgency, the need for disciplined cadre and a Black-led united front against imperialism, and the history of the Marxist Left in the 60's and 70's in the USA as told through his personal experiences. His story is both a living history of the U.S. Left and a revolutionary call for commitment and organization for a new generation of revolutionaries. More Biography of Eric Mann: Eric Mann (born December 4, 1942) is a civil rights, anti-war, labor, and environmental organizer. He has worked with the Congress of Racial Equality, Newark Community Union Project, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Black Panther Party, the United Automobile Workers (including eight years on auto assembly lines) and the New Directions Movement. He was also active as a leader of SDS faction the Weathermen, which later became the militant left-wing organization Weather Underground. He was arrested in September 1969 for participation in a direct action against the Harvard Center for International Affairs and sentenced to two years in prison on charges of conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the Cambridge police headquarters on November 8, 1969. He was instrumental in the movement that helped to keep a General Motors assembly plant in Van Nuys, California open for ten years. Mann has been credited for helping to shape the environmental justice movement in the U.S. He founded the Labor/Community Strategy Center in Los Angeles, California and has been its director for 25 years. In addition, Mann is founder and co-chair of the Bus Riders Union, which sued the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for what it called “transit racism”, resulting in a precedent-setting civil rights lawsuit, Labor Community Strategy Center et al. v. MTA. Mann is the author of books published by Beacon Press, Harper & Row and the University of California, which include Taking on General Motors; The Seven Components of Transformative Organizing Theory; and Playbook for Progressives: 16 Qualities of the Successful Organizer. He is known for his theory of transformative organizing and leadership of political movements and is acknowledged by many as an veteran organizer on the communist left. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano uncovers the remarkable story of Mary Katherine Goddard, the fearless printer who risked her life to publish the names on the Declaration of Independence. At a time when free expression could be punished as treason, Goddard embodied the true meaning of a Free Press during the American Revolution.

Her story reveals how ordinary citizens played extraordinary roles in securing America's liberty. Episode Highlights How Mary Katherine Goddard became the first printer to publish the Declaration of Independence with all 56 signatures. Why her role as Baltimore's Postmaster made her central to Revolutionary communications and the Patriot cause. The enduring lesson of her courage and what it means for the survival of a free press in America.

What Jeremy Corbyn's experience reveals about the future of revolutionary politics in Britain. Should the Left engage in electoral politics — or build power outside of parliament? Is identity politics being used as a ruling class ideology to divide and weaken class struggle?

In May 1894, President Grover Cleveland gave a speech thanking those who gathered “to worship at this national shrine.” He was not referring to the battlefields at Gettysburg or Antietam, nor to Mount Vernon, but to the gravesite of Mary Ball Washington, mother of George. While dedicating the new monument that marked it in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Cleveland honored “the woman who gave our Nation its greatest and best citizen.” There could be no clearer valorization of eighteenth-century republican motherhood and its centrality to the nation's origin story.The Mother of Washington in Nineteenth-Century America (Oxford UP, 2025) by Dr. Kate Haulman examines the role of motherhood in the commemoration of the American Revolution by tracing the creation and evolution of the Mother of Washington figure. Dr. Haulman explores the nineteenth-century memory of an eighteenth-century woman known for and through her famous son, the nation's first president. Underpinned by a canon of stories about Mary that often involved George, the monument and the figure it memorialized overlapped, sometimes in surprising and even paradoxical ways. In print, in images, and on the landscape, memorializing Mary foregrounded maternal ideals based in traditional gender roles and ancestry in the public memory of the nation's founding. As some women framed their engagement with the state in maternal terms, other men and women used the Mother of Washington to link the virtues she represented to the nation's origins. Women memorialists finally took up the cause to complete the monument, finishing what elite men had begun decades earlier.Then as now, groups used the past to construct American motherhood, as well as using motherhood to engage with the founding past. The Mother of Washington in Nineteenth-Century America offers fresh arguments about gender, race, and the politics of Revolutionary history and memory still contested 250 years later. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

In May 1894, President Grover Cleveland gave a speech thanking those who gathered “to worship at this national shrine.” He was not referring to the battlefields at Gettysburg or Antietam, nor to Mount Vernon, but to the gravesite of Mary Ball Washington, mother of George. While dedicating the new monument that marked it in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Cleveland honored “the woman who gave our Nation its greatest and best citizen.” There could be no clearer valorization of eighteenth-century republican motherhood and its centrality to the nation's origin story.The Mother of Washington in Nineteenth-Century America (Oxford UP, 2025) by Dr. Kate Haulman examines the role of motherhood in the commemoration of the American Revolution by tracing the creation and evolution of the Mother of Washington figure. Dr. Haulman explores the nineteenth-century memory of an eighteenth-century woman known for and through her famous son, the nation's first president. Underpinned by a canon of stories about Mary that often involved George, the monument and the figure it memorialized overlapped, sometimes in surprising and even paradoxical ways. In print, in images, and on the landscape, memorializing Mary foregrounded maternal ideals based in traditional gender roles and ancestry in the public memory of the nation's founding. As some women framed their engagement with the state in maternal terms, other men and women used the Mother of Washington to link the virtues she represented to the nation's origins. Women memorialists finally took up the cause to complete the monument, finishing what elite men had begun decades earlier.Then as now, groups used the past to construct American motherhood, as well as using motherhood to engage with the founding past. The Mother of Washington in Nineteenth-Century America offers fresh arguments about gender, race, and the politics of Revolutionary history and memory still contested 250 years later. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Trump rightly criticized Sen Tim Kaine for saying that our rights come from government, not God. The book "Ameritopia" explained that John Locke had profound influence on America's founders during the Revolutionary period. Locke's philosophy was, natural law, derived from God's will, governs all, including governments; no authority can violate inalienable rights; and governments exist by consent to preserve these rights, not create them. This connects to the Declaration of Independence's principles. Kaine's view is stunning and representative of the Democrat position. Why is our stated ally, Qatar, continuing to protect the leadership of Hamas? Qatar cannot and must not provide safe harbor to Hamas's top terrorist monsters and expect that the nation and people they terrorize -- Israel and the Jews -- will sit still for it. Qatar funds terrorism, it helped unleash 9/11 by protecting the would-be ringleader, it funds terror-supporting front groups in the United States and poisons our colleges and universities with their money. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has passed away after being assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University. It's a deeply sad and dark day. He was a young man with a wife and two baby girls. His only offense, apparently, was to engage and debate in a joyous way. He spent his life fighting for America and his legacy will never be silenced. The Charlie Kirk assassin is still at large, but the FBI is closing in. He will get caught and he needs to be put to death. This guy needs to pay the price, and the whole country needs to see it. Kirk was a genius who lived life fully, enjoyed debating opponents, and inspired young people in the liberty movement. Kirk is the quintessential American story of self-made success and will have an enduring legacy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This connects to the Declaration of Independence's principles. Kaine's view is stunning and representative of the Democrat position. Also, the Democrat Party has radicalized far beyond its base, leaving behind traditional Democrats like veterans, police, firefighters, and generational members who now form a minority. A recent Gallup poll, show that only 42% of Democrats view capitalism positively, while 66% favor socialism. This reflects the entire party, not just the base, as evidenced by elections of socialists in cities like New York and support for figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders. This Democratic radicalization is partly due to new immigrants from anti-capitalist societies. Later, Dr Zuhdi Jasser calls in to discuss his run for Arizona's 4th Congressional district. Jasser emphasized his commitment to service, love for America, and fighting against radical Islam, and far-left policies exploiting freedoms. Jasser would be a counter to progressive kooks like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Afterward, sanctuary states and cities are unconstitutional. America fought a civil war making that clear. States and cities cannot defy federal constitutional authority that is clearly granted to the national government -- the enforcement of federal immigration law. They cannot nullify federal law.

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: The Restoration of Charles II and Its Aftermath Following Oliver Cromwell's death in 1658 and a period of political chaos, George Monk led the army to London, eventually inviting Charles II back to restore stability in 1660. Reforms like banning Ship Money remained, and Parliament's financial power significantly increased. The Anglican Church reasserted control, leading to the repression and emigration of dissenters. Royalist revenge included the grotesque public hanging of Cromwell's corpse. 1649

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: Introducing Revolutionary England: 1603-1689 The book by Jonathan Healey introduces James I and the English revolutionary times, from 1603 to 1689. It covers a period that was very violent and difficult to generalize about, leading to the Glorious Revolution. This era sponsored 18th-century peace, stability, and the building of the British Empire. The book aims to unify political and social history, exploring how 17th-century arguments influenced the founders of the United States. CROMWELL

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: The Gunpowder Plot's Enduring Legacy The 1605 Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by a small group of Catholics to destroy James I and Parliament, deeply shaped English politics. It fueled anti-Catholic paranoia, associating Catholicism with tyranny, foreign powers like Spain and France, and arbitrary government. This fear of a "popish plot" became a recurrent theme for the next 80 years, influencing decisions up to James II's reign. 1653 OLIVER CROMWELL

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: Monarchs' Fiscal Struggles & Parliamentary Power 17th-century monarchs like James I and Charles I faced immense financial challenges due to long-term inflation and the rising cost of war, particularly with the "military revolution." English common law required Parliament's consent for taxation, forcing kings to seek funds from a "fractious" Parliament. Controversial extra-parliamentary taxes, like forced loans or ship money, sparked debates over royal power and people's liberties, notably championed by Edward Coke. 1658 OLIVER CROMWELL

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: Charles I's Personal Rule and the Scottish Revolt After dismissing Parliament in 1629, Charles I ruled personally, relying on figures like Archbishop William Laud and the Earl of Strafford. Their controversial religious policies and "arbitrary" actions, such as the Ship Money tax, generated significant opposition. The King's attempt to impose a new prayer book on Scotland in 1637 led to a revolt, ultimately collapsing his rule in England and leading to Laud and Strafford's arrests. 1661 OLIVER CROMWELL

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: New Model Army and the Regicide of Charles I Parliament reorganized its forces into the New Model Army, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, promoting based on effectiveness, not social status. After their decisive victory at Naseby in 1645, King Charles Isurrendered to the Scots in 1646. Following further conflict, Henry Ireton pushed for the king's trial, leading to Charles I's public execution in 1649, a shocking moment for many. 1600 QUEEN ANNE, KING JAMES, WALES, LATER CHARLES I

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate and Its Challenges After Charles I's execution, John Lambert drafted the "Instruments of Government," establishing Oliver Cromwellas Lord Protector. Despite widespread horror in Europe, Cromwell's rule brought stability to England, though it involved moving away from radical democrats and imposing Puritan values, making it unpopular. He refused the crown in 1657, believing God had spoken against monarchy. 1649

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: James II, Catholicism, and the Glorious Revolution James II, brother of Charles II, converted to Catholicism, leading to a movement to exclude him from the throne during Charles's reign. Becoming king in 1685, James II alienated his natural supporters, the Tories, by favoring Catholics. The birth of his Catholic son solidified the fears of a perpetual Catholic monarchy. In 1688, Whigs and Tories invited William of Orange to intervene, leading to James II fleeing and the peaceful Glorious Revolution. 1649
