We have a very exciting guest on our show this week.  He identifies 4 great changes in American history brought upon by the President in office at the time: Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and FDR.  If President Trump is able to fulfill his campaign promises, our guest believes we could be experiencing the 5th period of great change.  One of the targeted areas  of change the current administration is focusing are our trade agreements globally and tariffs.  Joining our all-star student panel to discuss tariffs and other constitutional issues in the news is historian and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich.

What if America's founders never intended to separate God from government? Exploring George Washington's personal prayer journal reveals a startling truth that challenges everything modern education teaches about our nation's founding.Jesse Cope takes us on a profound journey through Washington's Monday morning prayers, where the father of our country wrote: "Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit." These words aren't from a private citizen merely practicing his personal faith—they're from the man who would shape a nation. How could Washington create a secular government while personally begging God to "direct my thoughts, words and work"?The episode weaves together three crucial threads of American identity: personal faith practices, the sanctity of marriage, and the Christian foundations of our republic. Through an examination of Matthew 3, we see how John the Baptist's simple lifestyle challenges our modern discontent. We're prompted to consider whether we're truly grateful for God's provision or constantly demanding more than He's already blessed us with.Perhaps most provocative is the exploration of liberty's true source. Our founders understood a paradox many have forgotten: while individuals must have freedom to choose their faith, liberty itself cannot survive without Christian principles guiding the nation. As former Speaker of the House Robert Winthrop declared: "Men must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or a power without them, either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man, either by the Bible or by the bayonet."This isn't just history—it's a roadmap for reclaiming America's soul. When we understand that our greatest threats aren't merely political but spiritual forces opposing Christ, we gain clarity about what's truly at stake. Join this journey of rediscovery and consider what role your faith might play in America's future.What daily practices help you connect with God? Have you considered how your personal faith impacts not just your life but your nation's destiny?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Speaker emeritus Frank Chopp, who voluntarily switched his role to Rep. Frank Chopp at the end of the 2019 session, is the special guest on this episode of Capitol Ideas. The good things he's done for the Evergreen State are too numerous to list here, but if you listen to today's conversation, you'll notice a promise to include some items in the show notes. Here, in no particular order, are some of the things that he played a pivotal role in: the state Housing Trust fund; the best minimum wage in the U.S.; paid family and medical leave; free college and university tuition for those who need it most; the Marriage Equality Act; the Dream Act; the Voting Rights Act; the Long-term Care Trust Act; the Education Legacy Fund; The College Bound Scholarship program; Apple Health for All Kids; Apple Health and Homes; and 20 years of state budgets that put people first.

On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel remembers former Washington legislator and longtime Democratic Speaker of the State House Frank Chopp, who passed away unexpectedly on March 22, 2025. In this archival interview from 2020, Mr. Chopp explains his role in preservation of an apartment complex in King County, and its conversion to public housing. As Mr. Chopp says in the interview, "Saving [this] apartment complex - it's not historically significant or architecturally significant - but the community is what's significant. So when we preserve something, it's not just a building, it's the community that's living there. And that's extremely important, to keep that sense of community together." CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and streaming everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

The interwoven threads of faith and liberty form the essential fabric of American democracy—but what happens when one thread is pulled away? Jesse Cope tackles this profound question by exploring the wisdom of James 4, alongside penetrating observations from Alexis de Tocqueville and Robert Winthrop about America's foundation.Diving into James 4, Jesse examines our tendency to rush God's timing and the "dumpster fires" we create when impatience overrides trust. The chapter's warnings about worldly desires, conflicts, and pride reveal how internal spiritual struggles manifest as societal problems. Through personal reflection, Jesse acknowledges his own struggles with patience, making this spiritual journey deeply relatable.The podcast takes a fascinating historical turn as Jesse unpacks de Tocqueville's famous observation that "despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot." This isn't merely philosophical musing—it's a blueprint for understanding why democratic systems fail without moral foundations. When Robert Winthrop's stark declaration that societies must be governed "either by the Bible or by the bayonet" enters the conversation, we see the real-world implications of removing spiritual foundations from public life.What makes this episode particularly powerful is how it connects historical wisdom to contemporary challenges. Jesse illustrates this through examining post-Saddam Iraq, where removing despotic control without established moral foundations for self-government led to chaos rather than liberty. The lesson becomes clear: freedom requires more than the absence of tyranny; it demands the presence of virtue.For anyone concerned about America's future, this thoughtful exploration of faith's role in sustaining freedom offers both warning and hope. Listen as Jesse makes a compelling case for returning to a nation that prays publicly and embraces the spiritual foundations that make liberty possible.AI: I've completed the requested tasks with all 6 sections in the key-value pair format.

Being the Republican House leader is a little like marrying Henry VIII. At some point, you're getting your head cut off.  But for now, Mike Johnson remains not just physically intact—but in a position of incredible power. Two weeks ago, Johnson was reelected Speaker of the House on the first ballot. Despite having only the narrowest of House majorities—the Republicans control the House by four votes, 219 vs. 215 Democrats—Mike Johnson was able to unite the Republican Party's warring factions—moderates, the Freedom Caucus, the Raw Milk caucus, libertarians, hawks, doves, and whatever Lauren Boebert is—behind him.  It was tough to pull off, as it would've taken only a couple of No votes to send him off to that Republican Valhalla where John Boehner chain-smokes and chugs merlot, Paul Ryan does push-ups, and Kevin McCarthy throws darts at a photo of Matt Gaetz. Now, Donald Trump will become president of the United States and Mike Johnson will have the task of shepherding his agenda through Congress. And because the Republicans control the House by only four seats, the Speaker might have to get very close to some moderate Democrats—particularly those with constituents itching for a tax cut.  Today on Honestly, Speaker Johnson breaks down this challenge. He talks about how the party moves forward with two different visions for America; why he thinks Biden was “the worst president ever”; he recalls an eerie experience with Biden in the Oval Office; and he even gives us a taste of his uncanny Trump impression.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – The Republicans maintain power with 219 seats, and the Democrats will have 215 after the swearing-in of the Congress. A majority is necessary for any Speaker to win. Mike Johnson is the only one who has offered his services. No other names have emerged, and no one will be elected with less than 218 votes. This could be a rocky beginning to Congress...

SEASON 3 EPISODE 81: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: To paraphrase Van Jones and other panderers: This was the weekend Elon Musk truly became president. It was also the weekend the other guy became Donald J. Trumpuppet. The number of Republicans who defied Trump over the Continuing Resolution ranges, depending on your point of view, from 29 to ALL of them. Because they also voted by unanimous consent to bury Musk's fabricated controversy over the no-cost land transfer to the District of Columbia. Trump, for his part, is in a bigger hole now than he ever was during his presidency as the self-inflicted losses pile up: The Gaetz Lack-of-Ethics Report may come out today. Other nominations are in trouble. One new one may be Alan Dershowitz and another may have padded his resume. The idea of Recess Appointments is forgotten. Trump has been taunted with the "Musk Is President" chatter. Some Republicans are taking it seriously and suggesting him for Speaker. And that in turn let Democrats emphasize Trump tanked the deal to benefit his interests with the Chinese Communist Party. And Trump spoke yesterday for the first time in weeks and sounded drunk - which is a problem, because he doesn't drink. All while he is being pursued by his two worst enemies: himself - and Musk. B-BLOCK (27:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Remember my suggestion that MSNBC's response to Trump's win and its own tanking ratings was to do nothing but double down and exploit the Liberal Media Monopoly the cowards at CNN, The Washington Post and others were giving them? Guess what! MSNBC's new boss wants... better relationships with Republicans. (40:56) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Martin Shrkeli emerged from his sewer to get owned on social media, New York sends a bill for damages to the family of a guy a police officer killed with an unmarked car, and are there secret Mark Burnett Trump Outtake Tapes? Don't ask Burnett - he now works for Trump. C-BLOCK (50:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: You have your Christmas story, I have mine. Mine is about falling off a cliff near Malibu filming a commercial for fast-food chicken.
