This is a rereleased episode from season 1 of Condemned to Repeat It. In this episode, we set the stage for the Declaration of Independence by exploring the deep English political and intellectual history Jefferson drew upon when he sat down to write it. Far from being a spontaneous act of rebellion, the Declaration was the latest entry in a long English tradition of publicly justifying political action, with clear roots in the 1689 Declaration of Right that deposed King James II and the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted just weeks earlier in June 1776. Gerrit walks through the political climate of the Continental Congress, where moderates, realists, and outright loyalists still outnumbered firebrands like John and Samuel Adams, and explains how Richard Henry Lee's June resolution for independence prompted a committee, led by Jefferson, to draft an explanation rather than the act of independence itself. The episode traces how Jefferson's opening lines about self-evident truths, equality, and unalienable rights radically inverted centuries of monarchical assumption: rights no longer flowed downward from kings as gracious gifts, but upward from a Creator to the people, who in turn loaned legitimate power to government. The hosts close on a cliffhanger as Jefferson pivots from preamble to grievances, leaving Richard, ever the loyalist sympathizer, still firmly on the side of the Crown.

The "Revolt" Logic #BostonTeaParty #NoRepresentation #VoluntarySystem? #NationalDebt Source: Sons of Liberty Radio (2026-04-14)Reading Time: 45 min transcript This broadcast explores the escalating frustration with the American tax system, contrasting modern "oppressive taxation" with the principles of the Founding Fathers. Host Bradley Dean questions the legitimacy of a system that demands half of a citizen's income while drowning in debt and fraud. The discussion culminates in a call for a "national tax revolt" based on the historical precedent of the Boston Tea Party and a demand for divine and constitutional justice. The Exhaustive Burden of Modern Taxation The current American tax landscape is characterized by an overwhelming volume of levies that extend into almost every facet of daily life. From "flush taxes" and "dog license taxes" to complex federal income and corporate taxes, the sheer number of appropriations has grown without explicit public approval. This complexity is mirrored in the U.S. tax code, which has ballooned to 3.8 million words—over four times the length of William Shakespeare's entire collective works. Taxpayers now spend an estimated 7.6 billion hours annually just to comply with federal requirements, a massive diversion of human energy from economically productive activities. The Complexity Crisis U.S. Tax Code 3.8M Words vs Shakespeare's Works 900K Words "7.6 billion hours are spent annually on tax compliance." Historical Precedent and the "Tributary Slave" Drawing parallels to the 1773 Boston Tea Party, the discussion highlights that the American Revolution was sparked by far less intrusive taxation. Figures like Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry argued that taxation without representation reduced free subjects to the state of "tributary slaves." Today, the host argues that while citizens have "representatives," these officials often fail to represent the people's interests, instead reallocating wealth to foreign interests and overseen by agencies with no constitutional standing. The original grievance of the 4th of July was not merely tax, but the broader departure from the "Word of God" and the loss of religious freedom. Systematic Fraud and the Failure of Accountability A significant portion of the discourse focuses on the lack of justice regarding government mismanagement of funds. In Minnesota, allegations of voter fraud and the misappropriation of up to $31 billion in tax dollars have surfaced, yet no high-ranking officials have faced prosecution. The host contends that "resignation is a slap in the face" and that only criminal prosecution can restore the survival of the country. This lack of accountability at the top is contrasted with the "taskmasters" who strictly monitor small ministries and businesses, creating a double standard where the government is "drowning in debt" while its citizens are "taxed to death". National Debt Trajectory The rapid escalation of federal debt and the cost of servicing it. Current Estimated Debt:$31.3T - $40T Monthly Interest Payment: $8.8 Billion The Paradox of the "Voluntary" System A critical segment analyzes an interview with the late Senator Harry Reid, who claimed the U.S. has a "voluntary tax system." The host exposes the "double talk" in this phrasing: while the IRS describes the system as voluntary, failure to pay results in civil and criminal penalties, including imprisonment. This contradiction is viewed as a form of "taxation by force," which the host argues is fundamentally un-American. The broadcast suggests that a national revolt—where the 345 million citizens refuse to "fund their own demise"—may be the only remaining way to teach representatives a lesson. Key Data National Debt: Cited at various points between $31.3 trillion and $40 trillion. Interest Payments: The U.S. pays approximately $8.8 billion in interest on the deficit every month. Tax Code Changes: There have been 4,428 changes to the tax code in the last decade alone. Federal Tax Rates (2026): Expected to range from 10% to 37%, excluding state and local taxes. Compliance Burden: The IRS offers 1,999 different publication forms and instruction sheets for download. To-Do Citizens must demand the prosecution of officials involved in the $31 billion Minnesota fraud rather than accepting mere resignations. Patriots are encouraged to study the historical actions of the Sons of Liberty and the Boston Tea Party to understand the framework for a tax revolt. Individuals should review IRS Publication 557 to understand tax exemptions related to churches and the "voluntary" nature of the tax code. The American public must repent and return to "God's Ten Commandments" to find a foundation for true justice. Conclusion The document paints a picture of a nation at a breaking point, where the complexity and weight of taxation have become a tool for "tributary slavery." By highlighting the gap between the Founding Fathers' vision and current government practices, the broadcast calls for a return to biblical and constitutional principles, suggesting that without a significant stand—or "revolt"—by the people, the survival of the country is at risk.
Here is your Rumble video description, ready to copy and paste. This Easter weekend, the U.S. military pulled off one of the most daring rescue operations in American history -- pulling a wounded Colonel out of a mountain crevice deep inside Iran after his F-15E was shot down. The CIA ran a fake convoy to confuse the IRGC. American attack aircraft bombed every Iranian search party that got close. Transport planes malfunctioned and were blown up on enemy soil rather than left behind. Seven hours over Iran. Not one American killed. And while all of this was happening -- the American left was posting recycled footage from the Butler assassination attempt and telling the world Trump was dying at Walter Reed. He was in the Oval Office the whole time. We break down every detail of the rescue, the Walter Reed hoax, Trump's legendary Easter morning Truth Social post, and the organized defeatism machine that has been wrong about America for fifty years -- and keeps getting funded anyway. Plus -- the American Enterprise Institute just dropped a bombshell report proving the middle class isn't dying. It's graduating. The upper middle class has tripled since 1979. We have the receipts and the story the doom-sellers don't want you to hear.

Marilyn Boyer is a descendant of a Revolutionary War soldier and daughter of a World War II veteran. She is deeply patriotic and passionate about our Christian history. This July 4th marks our nation's 250th birthday and with it our Constitution, our freedoms, liberties and system of government, all of which mark us as a nation like no other. We often take for granted what we've been gifted by God through those who've come before us. We must never forget such heroes and their Christian faith as they built this nation while exhibiting character qualities such as humility, justice, courage, great determination, fortitude and valor. Therefore it's vital that we pass their stories on to succeeding generations. This is where Marilyn comes in. She appeared on Crosstalk to share brief details regarding key early Americans and the character traits they had that made a huge impact on the forging of this nation. From volume one you'll hear about George Washington, when he was a Colonel. Marilyn detailed the humility he showed and the fact that he believed he was an instrument in God's hands as he was shielded from death from many bullets fired by the Algonquin Indians. Samuel Adams represented the quality of passion. While known as the firebrand of the revolution, he wasn't fond of violent resistance as long as there was a chance at a peaceful solution. What he did have was the ability to deliver fiery rhetoric. He believed that God was the author of liberty. His passion was to be used as an instrument by God and that's what happened as God used him to encourage others during the dark days of the revolution.

A single line from Mark 10 can reorder a life: “With God all things are possible.” We start there and follow the ripple effects into our homes, our habits, and our public courage. When Jesus tells the rich young ruler to sell his goods and follow, he isn't launching a guilt trip; he's revealing how tightly comfort can close a fist. We unpack what it means to loosen that grip, receive salvation as grace rather than achievement, and orient our days around treasure that doesn't rust.From there we get practical and personal. Proverbs paints a vivid picture of how contention hollows out a house, and we talk about the quiet disciplines that repair it—slow speech, quick listening, honest confession. Then Psalm 44 invites us to lament without losing faith. The psalm refuses easy answers, holding sorrow and trust in the same breath. That posture prepares us for a world where mockery and loss are real, yet steadfast love is more real still.Courage takes center stage with the extraordinary rescue of Thomas Norris and Mike Thornton. Their grit under fire turns abstract talk of duty into something you can feel in your bones. We connect that bravery to civic life and ask what moral clarity looks like when threats are near and numbness is easy. Along the way we confront ideological violence, insist on naming evil without hating people, and draw on Samuel Adams's charge to guard liberty against both force and fraud. We end with prayerful resolve: let grace anchor your soul, let wisdom steady your home, and let courage guide your public life.If this resonated, share it with a friend, leave a review, and hit subscribe.

A simple question cuts through the noise: who are we for? We open with Mark 9, where Jesus rebukes tribal instincts and affirms that anyone acting in his name is not an enemy. That word on unity, paired with his picture of greatness as serving a child, challenges our craving for status and control. From there, we move into the deep waters of marriage with 1 Peter 3 and Jesus' teaching on divorce. Honor, gentleness, and shared inheritance in grace become the backbone of covenant love, and we face our modern blind spots—especially the habit of condemning some sexual sins while excusing casual divorce.The conversation sharpens when Jesus speaks about cutting off whatever causes sin. The imagery is fierce because the stakes are real. We talk about ruthless repentance that protects the soul: tearing out practices that warp desire, closing doors to bitterness, and choosing peace without surrendering truth. Psalm 44 then resets our posture: prepare, train, and work hard, but place ultimate trust in God's hand. That balance keeps us from both naïve passivity and brittle self-reliance. A proverb about holding the tongue adds street-level wisdom, reminding us that fewer words often mean fewer wounds.History enters as a blunt teacher. We recount acts of terror, stories of valor under fire, and turn to Samuel Adams' urgent counsel on liberty and vigilance. The parallels to our moment are hard to ignore. Systems drift when people grow numb, and foundations shake when citizens trade courage for comfort. We ask what principled resolve looks like today—lawful, rooted in faith, and committed to the good of neighbor. We close in prayer, centering our hope on God's kingdom, daily provision, and the grace to live these truths at home and in public.If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs courage and clarity today.

A desperate father says the quiet part out loud: I believe—help my unbelief. That honest confession from Mark 9 becomes our doorway into a wide-ranging, deeply practical conversation about faith that holds under pressure, marriages that model covenant love, and the civic virtue required to keep a free people free. We start with the Transfiguration and the healing that follows, where Jesus links real power to real prayer, then ask what it means to live that dependence when our homes and headlines feel chaotic.From there, we turn to Ephesians 5 and talk plainly about leading by example. Children don't learn healthy marriages from lectures; they learn them from what we prioritize when work, entertainment, and screens compete for attention. Sacrificial love and grounded respect are not relics—they are skills we practice. Psalm 43 helps us push back on discouragement with hope, while Proverbs 10 warns how fast a loose tongue can undo wisdom. The through line is simple and demanding: pray first, love with grit, tell the truth.History sharpens the point. We examine the Red Army Faction as a case study in how ideology turns grievances into violence, then spotlight First Sergeant James H. Bronson's Medal of Honor moment as courage in the storm. Samuel Adams joins the chorus with a bracing reminder that liberty erodes when virtue thins. The lesson is personal and public: honest doubt is not disqualifying, but it must be yoked to prayer, discipline, and moral clarity. If we want homes that hold and a nation that endures, we can't outsource the work of character.Join us for scripture, story, and straight talk that aims to strengthen your faith, your marriage, and your resolve.

A quiet prayer, a hard truth, and a bold call to courage—this conversation threads Scripture, history, and everyday life into a single question: who are we when no one is looking? We begin with gratitude and intercession, then move straight into Proverbs 5's vision for marriage as a living covenant that forms character and joy. From there, Jesus' words in Matthew 23 land with force, exposing the trap of spiritual gatekeeping and the emptiness of outward polish when justice, mercy, and faith are neglected.We push deeper into Psalm 28 and Proverbs 7, drawing a line from inner devotion to public integrity. The psalmist's trust in God becomes a model for resilience, while Proverbs warns us to keep wisdom close and recognize the voice of seduction—whether it's flattery, ideology, or convenience. Along the way, we honor those who truly carry the cost of service, challenging performative outrage and urging attention toward present evils like human exploitation. The thread is consistent: truth without humility hardens; humility without truth drifts; both are found in Christ.History steps in with Samuel Adams, whose words remind us that providence and virtue still matter when a nation stands at a crossroads. We reflect on how spiritual renewal must empower civic courage, not replace it. The takeaway is simple and demanding: salvation is in Jesus Christ alone, marriages are for delight and fidelity, churches are to point to the Savior—not themselves—and citizens are called to disciplined love of neighbor.

When John Colt went on trial for the murder of Samuel Adams, it felt like all of New York was watching. The media shared inflammatory, and often inaccurate stories about the defendant. The public clamored for more. Courtroom antics ranged from theatrical to downright gross. John Colt sat at the center of it all, shielded by a defense team that argued he hadn't murdered Samuel Adams. He'd simply been defending himself. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Dunphy, Thomas. Remarkable Trials of All Countries. Diossy & Company, 1870.Edwards, William.

Samuel Adams (no, not *that* Samuel Adams) was nowhere to be found. His friends and family were alarmed. They feared that the respected small business owner had met a violent end. Meanwhile, across town, John Caldwell Colt was up to no good. He tried to cover his tracks, but the man in the office next door was onto him. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

On a sunny fall day in 1841, New York City officials boarded a ship in search of a crate. Crew members found it buried deep in the cargo hold. The odor coming from within it was unbearable.Inside, they discovered the decomposing body of half-naked man, covered in salt. Authorities identified the body as Samuel Adams (No, not that Samuel Adams.) Who could have done such a thing? There was no need to ponder that question. Authorities had already arrested their prime suspect, John Caldwell Colt. John was an author and expert on bookkeeping. He was also the older brother of Samuel Colt, the inventor of the Colt Revolver. In this episode, Normie C hits us with all the context we'll need to understand this gruesome murder and the bizarre trial that followed. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

I had heard from an early age that we were related to James Otis the Patriot and had the impression he was important in Boston before the American Revolution. I was always curious in the back of my mind about what happened to him; why was he famous then but forgotten in the centuries that followed? Sponsored by Modern History Press, Moravian Sons Distillery, authors Terri Martin, Diana Magnuson and Doc Chavent. As I began to research James Otis and then the patriots he influenced, such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock, I came to see he was an extremely powerful force in resistance to the British. As a brilliant lawyer, Otis argued against the use of warrants called the Writs of Assistance which allowed British custom officials to barge into homes or businesses willy nilly looking for smuggled good. Young John Adams was in the courtroom that fateful day and later wrote that Otis' argument of that case was when “the child Independence was born.” So, you could say that John Adams convinced me to write this book.

December 16, 1773. Samuel Adams sits in a crowded meeting of American colonists at Boston's Old South Meeting House. He's watching small groups of men slip quietly out the door. Once outside, the men don disguises and make their way toward three ships moored in the harbor – each weighted down with chests of valuable British East India tea. The men climb aboard, tear open the chests and dump the tea in the water. Cheers fill the winter night. Back at the meeting, Samuel Adams waits. There's nothing directly tying him to this radical act of rebellion … but few doubt he's behind it. How did a chronic underachiever help light the fuse of the American Revolution? And why has this important Founding Father largely been forgotten? Special thanks to our guest, Stacy Schiff, author of The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams. ** This episode originally aired December 12, 2022. -- 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.

Boston Harbor Distillery (Dorchester, MA) WF081 Meet the co-founder of Samuel Adams, whose real passion was whiskey. Rhonda Kallman helped craft beer get on its feet, so why not craft whiskey? We'll talk about her background, the historic building she found to house the distillery, the legend who helped get her on the right foot with distilling, and we'll taste rye, single malt, and something called Demon Seed. It's a fun conversation and (if you haven't noticed) I've been putting out longer versions of the podcast for free members on Patreon. It's kind of a holiday thing, but I am also excited about the release of my new book Whiskey Lore's Travel Guide to Experiencing American Whiskey. If you're in the U.S. you can pre-order your copy at whiskeylore.org/shop I'll be putting an order in for them in the next few days and hope to have them by the end of December (although the holidays have a way of stalling things). I'll send them out with free shipping and a signature, if you order now and you should receive it before the January 13th release date. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy this fun conversation. Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew
Another week of last minute schedule changes, flight delays, lost iPads, misplaced laptops, and other mishaps delayed the recording of this week's episode, but finally on Saturday night we were able to sit down for an especially fast-paced episode to close out the week that comes with competing Star Trek metaphors, reflectioning and debating briefly about which was the weirdest news story of the week—the latest Epstein file revelations, MTG departing the House, the Mamdani-Trump Oval Office Summit—the greatest clash since Yalta, or the most bizarre meeting of Capitalist and Communist since Franklin Roosevelt dined alone—before we finally settle down to out main topic of the week: the launch of what will be a regular feature here on the 3WHH between now and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next July 4.For this first installment, we ponder the strange case of historian Gordon Wood, considered the pre-eminent historian of the American Founding, who was in the news last week for a speech he delivered in Washington DC for the American Enterprise Institute. Steve was present to hear the speech; John took in the published version, and Lucretia let out a mighty harumph. Wood's main thesis at the beginning of his illustrious career was that the American Founding should be understood as part of the "civic republican" tradition, rather than a Lockean-Jeffersonian natural rights revolution. It made him the left's favorite historian for a time, a point Steve made in a critical article about Wood 20 years ago, "The Liberal Republicanism of Gordon Wood." Naturally—do I really need to say "naturally"? you know what's coming next—John stepped up to defend Wood's civic republican thesis. Lucretia thought she could sit this one out, but ChatGPT provided us with a debate between Lucretia and Wood, with "Wood" getting off some good zingers like "Lucretia, the Founding wasn't a live-action performance of Natural Right: The Musical," and "Of course they were serious—serious about the collapse of deference, the emergence of democratic culture, and all the other things that give Straussians spontaneous nosebleeds." Lucretia responded in kind: "You make it sound like Samuel Adams was out there organizing consciousness-raising workshops. “Hi, I'm Sam, and I'm here to talk about my feelings on monarchy…”The episode is slightly shorter than normal as Steve had to rush off to the final performance of Steve Hackett's North American tour in Portland, Oregon, and the final performance of keyboardist Roger King, and because the philistine and cretinous Lucretia and John attempted to mock the gods of prog rock, the exit music this week is an excerpt from Hackett's most famous guitar lick. IYKYK.
They twisted the words. Flipped the definitions. Made traitors look like patriots and patriots look like traitors. Samuel Adams warned us in 1748. Thomas Gordon exposed the trick decades earlier.

With special guest Longinus, P&C drink and review Samuel Adams' Jack-O Pumpkin Ale, then wonder why dragons show up in so many cultures around the world. Spanning the east, the west, and the Americas, the boys discuss dragon stories -- what they have in common and how they diverge. * Are they always mean? * Do they always hoard treasure? * Do they always want to eat virgins? * Were they all sea serpents? What they have in common is a monster that represents chaos. In the west, people believed in actual dragons for a long time, then modernism set in and killed the dragons. Tolkien and other fantasy writers revived them. Now we have dragons all over the place again. Jordan Peterson often repeats a theory -- based on evolutionary psychology -- for why dragons developed.

Life, liberty, and property weren't just theories - they were the foundation of the American Revolution. John Locke wrote them, the Declaration adopted them, but Samuel Adams turned them into action. In 1772, he drafted an incredibly important, but almost totally forgotten document which led to the network of communication and resistance that laid the groundwork for independence. The post The Revolution Didn't Begin with a Shot. It Began with a Line in the Sand. first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – John and Samuel Adams were ready to push the idea of independence at the first General Congress in 1774 until they were given a piece of wise advice by Benjamin Rush, another member of the Sons of Liberty. The story of Independence is one of the most important stories we can tell. There is much detail that we've either forgotten or simply didn't know...
