Joseph Ellis, Part Two: Ellis covers the war's transition into a global conflict focused heavily on the Caribbean sugar islands. He examines Britain's Southern Strategy, the "dirty war" that devastated the Iroquois confederation, and Cornwallis's entrapment at Yorktown due to French naval intervention. Highlighting crucial post-war moments, Ellis covers Washington's rejection of a military dictatorship at Newburgh, John Jay's "rogue diplomacy" securing the Mississippi border, and financier Robert Morris personally funding soldiers' checks. The discussion ends with the weak Confederation's tragic failure to protect Native American rights or set slavery on a path to extinction. (2)

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Akron football's contest letting a season-ticket-holder call the team's first offensive series against Robert Morris, questioning whether the process was rigged after Barstool's Dan "Big Cat" Katz emerged as a finalist by reportedly buying up to 18 season-ticket entries himself. They run through the full list of finalists, debate whether Akron athletics actually swore off any rigging, and riff on the absurd logistics of what happens if the play call flops or the coach gets ejected before the opening drive even finishes.
He was the richest man in America, and for most of the Revolution he was also its treasury. When the United States had no money and no credit, it borrowed on the name of Robert Morris — a Philadelphia merchant who put his own fortune and signature behind a bankrupt government, kept General Washington's army fed, and personally financed the campaign that won the war at Yorktown. This is the story of the Financier of the Revolution: the reluctant patriot who voted against independence and then signed it, the pragmatist and money-chaser who saved the country and grew rich doing it, the man who tried to build a real government out of nothing — the first national bank, the paper notes backed by his own name, the tax that could have funded it all — and who finally resigned in despair because no amount of one man's credit could fix a government too weak to fund itself. And it is the story of how that same name, the strongest credit in America, would carry him all the way to a debtor's prison. He floated a nation. It did not float him.
Ken and Anthony run through Lima Likes with John filling in, covering the Guardians' bullpen meltdown and Jose Ramirez's injury-plagued "lost season" that still might produce solid numbers, plus a recap of the station's charity softball night in Canton highlighting Anthony's surprisingly hard fastball. They rip Robert Morris fans reportedly buying up Akron Zips season tickets to sabotage a raffle promotion, then dig into Hall of Fame weekend, including Pat McAfee's awkward speech line about his wife and the snub of Bill Belichick.
The Akron Zips are running a promotion where they will let a fan call a play during their game against Robert Morris! The Junks are all in on this...but they GOTTA rig it to get someone fun in there! (Like, say, Barstool's Big Cat...)
Akron head coach Joe Moorhead joins Ken and Anthony to explain the viral season-ticket promotion letting one lucky fan help script the Zips' opening drive against Robert Morris, admitting he thought it was ridiculous at first before buying in once he saw the potential exposure and revenue for a program with the lowest operating budget in FBS football. Moorhead insists it will be a true collaboration rather than a gimmick, walking through how he builds his actual game plan and stressing he addressed it with players immediately so it wouldn't undercut the team's focus. He also admits he'd feel differently if he weren't the primary play-caller himself, which helps ease some of Ken's skepticism. By the end of the interview, Ken concedes Moorhead fully won him over on a promotion he walked in ready to rip apart.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Akron Football's viral promotion that gives one season-ticket holder the chance to help script the team's opening drive against Robert Morris. While Lima views it as a creative way for a MAC program to generate buzz and engage fans, Carman argues it diminishes the work of coaches and highlights the growing challenges facing non-Power Four football programs. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about the future of the MAC, the widening gap in college football, and what smaller schools must do to stay relevant in the NIL and superconference era. What starts as a quirky promotion quickly turns into a passionate debate about respectability, survival, and the state of college football's middle class.

She also says that it won't be clear if Drew Allar or Will Howard has pulled away from the other as we do not know what is being asked of either one of them by the coaching staff. Aditi thought that the Zay Flowers contract was kind of wild, and it is crazy that he is getting paid so much more than Bijan Robinson.

Utah State head coach Wes Brooks shares insights on his challenges and solutions. Learn more about his journey from assistant coach to head coach, sharing his approach to rebuilding the Utah State program after two challenging seasons. He explained his offensive philosophy centered on "fist and flash" gameplay, spacing concepts (single, double, triple), and teaching players to read defenses rather than running specific plays.Wes detailed how he's implemented this system over four weeks of summer practice, emphasizing the importance of spacing, player development, and mental performance coaching. He discussed the psychology of coaching through challenges, the importance of resources and priorities, and his vision for building a championship program in the new Pac-12 conference.Brooks brings 20 years of collegiate experience with him to Utah State, most recently serving as an assistant coach at Ohio State. He previously worked as an assistant at Michigan, Utah, North Texas, Texas Southern and Robert Morris, and as a graduate assistant and director of basketball operations at West Virginia. In all, he has helped 11 teams to postseason berths with eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including in each of the past six years.
Ryan Horn has spent 20 years building strength programs, and almost none of that time has looked stable from the outside. Horn's path runs through Robert Morris, Virginia Commonwealth (where he became the school's first full-time strength coach), Tulsa, and seven years at Wake Forest under Danny Manning. After being let go from Wake Forest following COVID, Horn spent two years outside college athletics entirely, training soldiers with the 75th Ranger Regiment in Savannah, Georgia. From there it was Wichita State, Drake, a return home to West Virginia, and now Indiana.Horn and host Connor Agnew dig into what that kind of instability actually teaches a coach. Horn's answer keeps coming back to one idea: stop chasing permanence and start chasing presence. Roles end. Jobs change. What matters is whether you were fully in it while you had it. He connects this directly to mentorship, arguing that a good mentor's job gets harder, not easier, because they take the time to teach instead of just execute. And he's candid about the trap of comparing career timelines on social media, pointing out that the context and luck behind someone else's fast rise almost never makes it into the post.The conversation closes on family. Horn's son is now an Olympic weightlifter who interns under him at Indiana, and Horn talks openly about what it's meant to coach alongside his own kid, and about how losing both his parents in recent years reshaped how he thinks about time with the athletes and people in front of him right now.KEY TAKEAWAYS- Seek presence and impact in a role, not permanence. Every job has an expiration date, and treating it otherwise costs you the time you actually have in it.- A real mentor's job gets harder, not easier, because they take the time to teach instead of just execute.- Comparing your career timeline to someone else's on social media ignores the context and luck behind their path.- Avoid becoming the coach who dismisses a new idea because "we did that 20 years ago." Curiosity is the job, not a phase of it.- Losing both parents reshaped how Horn thinks about finite time with his family and his athletes.QUOTE BLOCK"There's no permanence in any role. It's just presence."- Ryan Horn, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Indiana University

When the national debt passes $39 trillion and a political class treats borrowed money as free, America has forgotten what its most-forgotten Founder knew in his bones: freedom isn't free. Robert Morris financed the Revolution, bet the largest fortune in America on a country that didn't yet exist, and then paid his debts in prison instead of asking for a handout. While Morris once staked everything on America's future, today we're mortgaging our future to pay for our present. - - - Today's Sponsor: PureTalk - Go to https://PureTalk.com/SHAPIRO to switch to the only wireless company awarded five stars in every category by Consumer Reports. - - - Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://dwplus.watch/BenShapiroMemberExclusive - - - DailyWire+: Become a Daily Wire Member and watch all of our content ad-free: https://www.dailywire.com/subscribe
In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis rings in the start of America's second 250 years with an unapologetically optimistic look at the nation's future. Drawing inspiration from his three decades working with Rush Limbaugh, Dean challenges the prevailing negativity and historical revisionism seen on social media. He dives deep into primary historical sources to bring to life the real, human stories of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, recounting the immense personal sacrifices, financial ruin, and physical brilliance of patriots like Robert Morris, Richard Stockton, and Abraham Clark. Along the way, Dean dissects the media's obsession with climate alarmism, contrasts the raw authenticity of figures like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton against modern political standards, and reviews the film “Young Washington,” reminding listeners that true leadership is forged through perseverance, learning from failure, and an unyielding commitment to liberty.

To mark the 250th anniversary of Independence Day this week, this classic replay episode of the ABA Banking Journal — sponsored by Q2 Software — explores the role of banking and finance in the American Revolution and the founding era. John Steele Gordon is an acclaimed economic historian whose books include Hamilton's Blessing, The Great Game and An Empire of Wealth; he is also the ABA Banking Journal's "From the Vault" columnist. In this episode, Gordon discusses: How not having any chartered banks prior to 1782 put the United States at a disadvantage during the Revolution. Conversely, how the Bank of England was a "secret weapon" for Britain during the war. The role of patriotic financiers like Robert Morris in achieving U.S. victory. The debates over a central bank in the post-revolutionary period and how they contributed to the development of the Constitution.
Declaring independence on July 2, 1776 was only the beginning. To actually become a nation, the United States needed something else: foreign allies, international recognition, and the credibility to negotiate as an equal among the world's great powers. Five days after Richard Henry Lee introduced his famous Virginia Resolution, the Continental Congress appointed a committee of five — John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Robert Morris, and Benjamin Harrison — to figure out how to achieve international recognition. The result was the Model Treaty: a document we almost never discuss today, but one that Adams considered his most important contribution to Congress and the nation. Historians Sara Georgini and Eliga Gould guide us through Adams's revolutionary blueprint for American foreign policy and how the founders understood that the United States would need to become a "treaty worthy" nation before France would take them seriously.

Benjamin L. Carp describes the fierce information war that followed the fire as both sides vied for public and international opinion. Figures like Benjamin Franklin and Robert Morris worked to protect the American reputation by insisting the fire was accidental. Conversely, the British used local newspapers to brand the rebels as arsonists and criminals. Curiously, formal correspondence between Generals Washington and Howe largely avoided the topic of the fire. This silence may reflect a "gentlemanly" code of the era, where neither commander wished to level such grave accusations without irrefutable proof, despite the ongoing propaganda battle. (6)1776

This is an excerpt from Chapter 5 of “Biblical & Social Justice: What Is It?,” entitled “A Nation Founded on Christian Principles?” Listening to the stories of Christian nationalists, one might become persuaded that the United States descended from heaven. Any assertion that the United States was founded on Biblical and Christian principles must also concede that slavery was part and parcel of an unbiblical and unChristian version of so-called Biblical and Christian principles. It is not necessary to attribute the founding of the nation to the Bible or an organized Christian effort. Any review of the actual history of the founding of the United States, absent spiritualized narratives, shows that highly educated and brilliant men were responsible for debating, working, and creating the founding philosophies and documents. All the Framers were informed by their education, experiences, and faith. They were also informed by selfish motivations and economic interests. It is noteworthy that the Framers decided not to include Scripture in the founding documents. This is consistent with their objective to avoid creating a nation controlled by the church or by religion. Below is a summary of the Framers: Almost all of the 55 Framers had taken part in the Revolution, with at least 29 having served in the Continental forces, most in positions of command. All but two or three had served in colonial or state government during their careers. The vast majority (about 75%) of the delegates were or had been members of the Confederation Congress, and many had been members of the Continental Congress during the Revolution. 25 had been state governors. More than half of the delegates had trained as lawyers (several had even been judges), although only about a quarter had practiced law as their principal means of business. Others were merchants, manufacturers, shippers, land speculators, bankers, or financiers. Several were physicians or small farmers, and one was a minister. Of the 25 who owned fellow humans, 16 depended on slave labor to run the plantations or other businesses that formed the mainstay of their income. Most of the delegates were landowners with substantial holdings, and most, except for Roger Sherman and William Few, were very comfortably wealthy. George Washington and Robert Morris were among the wealthiest men in the entire country. Much of that wealth was built through the unpaid labor of enslaved persons. Of the 55 Framers, only one was a Christian minister. Regarding the religious faith of the Framers: Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 28 were Anglicans, 21 were other Protestants, and two were Roman Catholics (D. Carroll and Fitzsimons). Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists. A few prominent Founding Fathers were anti-clerical notably Jefferson. It is a reach of imagination and romanticism to believe the 55 Framers acted as a group of Christians in consultation with the Scriptures and prayer. The work of the Framers, as is the case with most good work, owes to the skill of the persons working, whether Christian or non-Christian. One very significant factor argues against the rosy Christian nationalist perspective about our nation's founding: SLAVERY. For many of us, celebrating our nation's founding as a triumph of the Bible and Christianity is offensive given the treatment and property status of our ancestors. To be sure, the formation of the United States, developing the governing documents, and organizing independent colonies was a triumph of human enterprise and self-governing. The telling of history cannot overlook owning, selling, and abusing humans in the service of other humans used to build their economy, was decidedly ungodly. It was not something Jesus would have done. The historic facts regarding the formation of the nation are compelling reading without the hyperbole of a Christian nationalist narrative. The facts are far more interesting than the fabrications. -
For today's episode, Ed Dodson leads a discussion on Robert Morris, an American patriot in Revolutionary America.The origin story of the United States of America is filled with numerous twists and turns. The fact that the people and leaders of the 13 British colonies managed to earn their independence from the 18th century's most powerful naval and land power was anything but certain. However, winning independence required an army and a navy, as well as the capacity to provide all the goods necessary to match the enemy. In this lecture series, we present and discuss the role of Robert Morris, an American patriot who made it his life mission to coordinate and mobilize resources even when cooperation among the 13 States was difficult.To check out more of our content, including our research and policy tools, visit our website: https://www.hgsss.org/

Tara and Lee break down AOC's controversial history comments, escalating rhetoric online, and growing concerns over Iran and global instability. HOOK Did the American Revolution happen because Americans hated “billionaires”? Tara says Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just rewrote American history — and the fallout is exploding online. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY dives into a firestorm surrounding comments from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about the American Revolution and wealth in early America. Tara and Lee push back on claims that the Revolution was fundamentally a revolt against “billionaires,” pointing instead to figures like George Washington and financier Robert Morris, both wealthy supporters of independence.

We all know about the perverse and repulsive behavior of the liberal-Biden administration, especially their seeming interest in exploiting children. However the saviors of the youth, MAGA Republicans, are not much better. They may even be worse. The Trump administration has actively protected sexual deviants in the name of exposing them. Data from the FBI and DOJ indicates that operations to save children under both of the recent White House administrations were standard procedure, and yet the Biden team actually prosecuted more people and saved more children according to the numbers. From Craig Long, Robert Morris and Rj May to Pete Hegseth, Linda McMahon, Laura Loomer, and Steve Bannon to the President himself, the entire MAGA movement is filled with some of the lowest life in the country -- nothing short of the Biden or Obama administrations, or Bush and Clinton. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A pastor in Oklahoma. The Boy Scouts of America. Epstein's island. Three scandals, the same attorneys, banks, and insurance companies — hiding in plain sight. In this episode highlight of Cut to the Chase: with Gregg Goldfarb, South Florida mass tort attorney Gregg Goldfarb sits down with trial attorney Jason Joy and survivor advocate Curtis Garrison to expose the disturbing pattern connecting America's biggest institutional abuse cases, and why survivor justice keeps getting derailed before it ever reaches a courtroom. This isn't conspiracy theory. This is public record, and it's one of the most important conversations about survivor justice you'll hear this year. In this highlight, Gregg, Jason, and Curtis break down: How Gateway Church's attorneys are the same attorneys who defended the Boy Scouts of America in bankruptcy Why the same banks, insurance companies, and law firms keep appearing across Epstein, Boy Scouts, and church abuse cases How litigation financing is turning survivor settlements into investment vehicles and robbing victims of real justice Why settlements are coming in far too low and why these cases desperately need to go to trial What every abuse survivor needs to ask before hiring an attorney Why the window to fight back may be closing, and what to do right now KEY MOMENTS 00:00 — Epstein survivors, Boy Scouts, and the connections hiding in plain sight 01:00 — The triangulation tactic explained: keeping survivors from uniting 02:30 — Gateway Church, Robert Morris, and the Boy Scouts bankruptcy attorneys 04:00 — Banks, insurance companies, and law firms: the common denominators 06:00 — Litigation financing exposed: how lawyers are profiting at survivors' expense 09:00 — The $2.5 billion Boy Scouts settlement and why victims are getting almost nothing 12:00 — Why these cases must go to trial to deliver real justice 14:00 — What to look for when hiring an attorney as an abuse survivor 16:00 — Boy Scouts bankruptcy: potential malpractice and the push for Congressional investigation Jason Joy is a trial attorney who represents survivors of child sexual abuse, including Boy Scouts claimants and clergy abuse victims. He has fought to maximize case values for survivors and is actively working to bring cases to trial rather than accepting inadequate settlements driven by litigation financing interests. Curtis Garrison is a Boy Scouts survivor and founder of Speak Out to Stop Child Sexual Abuse (SOScsa.org), a nonprofit advocacy organization fighting to eliminate statutes of limitations on child sex abuse cases and ban NDAs in abuse settlements nationwide. Curtis advocates at state capitols and in Washington D.C. for landmark survivor legislation. Visit https://soscsa.org/ to follow legislative updates, support survivors, and donate to the cause.

Bill hosts historian Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of a WWII trilogy and a new American Revolution trilogy, with two volumes out (The British Are Coming and The Fate of the Day) and a third he hopes to finish by 2031. Atkinson describes his archival research approach and argues the Revolution became an eight-year global war and an American civil war, turning especially brutal in the South. He highlights key turning points including Trenton/Princeton, Saratoga's role in bringing decisive French alliance, and French indispensability at Yorktown. He assesses Washington's early missteps and growth, Benedict Arnold's battlefield brilliance and festering grievances, Robert Morris's critical wartime financing, and women's essential roles. He discusses enslaved and Indigenous peoples' tragic outcomes, black participation on both sides, and concludes the Revolution's democratic aspirations remain unfinished and must be renewed to prevent future tyrannies.

Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?".“I'd love to offer up a conversation with Dan Chiaverini, known to Robert Morris University students simply as “Chef Dan.” Dan has become something of a campus legend: a Harley-riding, Italian-raised chef who spends as much time talking with students in the dining hall as he does in the kitchen. Under his leadership, RMU Dining has become one of the most student-centered dining programs in Pennsylvania — recognized by Niche for its quality and community focus. Chef Dan leads a local food sourcing efforts program, works with doctors to create personalized meal plans for students with dietary needs and even teaches pasta-making and campfire cooking classes.At his core, Chef Dan embodies what Yinz Are Good celebrates — people who make Pittsburgh better through connection, care and community. His story blends food, mentorship and hometown pride, and his impact reaches far beyond the dining hall.” We received this email several weeks ago and it made our day. We talk a lot on this show about recognizing how we can each use our unique skillset to support others and build community, and Chef Dan is a prime example of that. He goes above and beyond for the students - these young adults who are away from home for the first time - and it means so much not only to them, but to their families too.Tressa sat down with Chef Dan in one of RMU's Academic Media Center recording studios and chatted about his journey, his Italian family, and, of course, about all he's doing at Robert Morris. And also in this episode, Tressa shares notes from our Kindness Crate, in response to the question, “What are you grateful for today?”.Robert Morris University Dining on FB: https://www.facebook.com/RMUDiningRobert Morris University Dining on IG: @rmudiningservicesWatch our Tressa Tries…video series on YouTube here.https://www.yinzaregood.com/FOLLOW US on social media:Instagram: @yinzaregood Facebook: @YinzAreGoodHave a story of generosity or kindness to share with us?

Over six decades and counting, the postmodern choreographer and dancer Lucinda Childs has built an exceptional, category-defining body of work grounded in a style that draws as much from “pedestrian,” everyday movements as it does from her foundational ballet training. Emerging out of the 1960s Judson Dance Theater in New York City, Childs founded her namesake company in 1973 and has created more than 50 works since. This year will see two major New York presentations of her pieces—the first, from March 14–15 at the Guggenheim, will restage five of her early dances, most of them silent; the second, titled “Momentary Reprise,” will be showcased at Bard College's Fisher Center from June 26–28 and include her collaborations with the likes of Frank Gehry, Philip Glass, and Robert Wilson. On this episode—our Season 13 opener—Childs reflects on her various experimental collaborations with Glass and Wilson; her profound perspectives on time through the lens of choreography and performance; and how she has remained unapologetically steadfast in refining her highly distinctive approach to dance. Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.

Facing backlash for visiting disgraced pastor Robert Morris in prison and declaring him forgiven by God, Mercy Culture Pastor Landon Schott unleashed on critics. In this podcast, we examine whether Schott's response aligns with Scripture or could be described as spiritual abuse.
America’s revolutionary war would have almost certainly been lost if not for the colony’s wealthiest merchant. Thomas Willing was a prominent Philadelphia merchant and financier who, in partnership with Robert Morris, operated one of the colonies' most successful importing and exporting firms, specializing in goods such as flour, lumber, tobacco, and sugar, while later using his wealth and mercantile connections to supply the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. After the War, he brought sanity to the unstable early American economy. America was suffocating under a massive, unmanageable national debt owed to foreign lenders, domestic soldiers, and creditors, and lacking the power to tax effectively under the Articles of Confederation. The currency situation was disastrous, with various state-issued paper monies having depreciated drastically—leading to inflation and a widespread lack of confidence in the financial stability of the new republic. Thomas Willing stabilized the nascent American economy by serving as the first president of both the Bank of North America and the First Bank of the United States, where his conservative fiscal leadership established the nation’s credit and transformed the central bank into the "great regulating wheel" of the country's financial system. Today’s guest is Richard Vague, author of “The Banker Who Made America: Thomas Willing and the Rise of the American Financial Aristocracy.” We discuss how Willing bankrolled–and in the process helped save–the American Revolution, and then shaped the financial architecture of our young Republic. So powerful was Willing that President John Adams complained that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were governed by him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
DIPLOMATIC COUPS AND THE WEAK CONFEDERATION Colleague Joseph Ellis. John Jay secured a diplomatic triumph by defying instructions to consult the French, negotiating directly with Britain to establish the Mississippi River as the western border. Post-war, the government was a loose confederation of sovereign states rather than a unified nation, leaving it ill-equipped to handle slavery or indigenous rights. Robert Morris, the "Financier," personally funded the army's demobilization when Congress failed to pay the troops. NUMBER 71821
