As New York grew throughout the 19th century so too did crime grow within the burgeoning population. In the early years, there was little in the way of law enforcement except some constables and night watchmen.  By mid-century, the city saw the evolution of TWO police forces, a later the force grew from a loose organization dictated by corruption and cronyism to a professional force led by Theodore Roosevelt in the 1890s.  Esther Crain, guest author and historian and creator of Ephemeral New York, returns to the show to delve deeply into this world of police, crimes and criminals of the Gilded Age.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

1. The Legacy of Woodrow Wilson and the Split over the League of Nations David Pietrusza 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents The 1920 election followed President Woodrow Wilson's debilitating stroke in October 1919, which left him perpetually frail. The core issue became the League of Nations, which Wilson championed but the Republican Party bitterly contested, ultimately causing public skepticism. Wilson held fierce opposition to former President Theodore Roosevelt, who died in January 1919. Roosevelt had detested Wilson's neutrality regarding German aggression. Despite his frail health, Roosevelt would have been the unstoppable Republican candidate had he lived. Wilson reacted to news of Roosevelt's death with shockingly hateful language, revealing the depth of his personal animosity toward his predecessor. 1929 Hoover Inaugural

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 24, 2025. 0:30 Has James Carville finally gone off the deep end? We react to the “Ragin’ Cajun’s” shocking rant, where he fantasizes about shaving the heads of Trump supporters, dressing them in orange jumpsuits, and parading them down Pennsylvania Avenue to be spat upon. And we unpack the left’s obsession with public shaming and “thought crimes" and thechilling parallels to Orwell’s 1984 and the real-world silencing of conservatives during the COVID era. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has terminated all trade negotiations with Canada over a TV ad that features a clip of President Ronald Reagan seemingly denouncing tariffs. Inflation ticked up a bit in September, but not as much as was expected. The USS Gerald Ford Aircraft Group is moving into the Caribbean sea as the US is ramping up military strikes against drug runners coming from South America. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We dig into the spiritual sickness spreading through half of America: a willful blindness where truth, logic, and reason no longer matter, only outrage. From Trump Derangement Syndrome to a culture that prizes victimhood over virtue, we explore how emotion has replaced truth on the left. 16:30 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — how they can be okay with Donald Trump tearing down part of the White House. We unpack the latest round of media outrage, sparked by Trump’s privately funded ballroom project. From Chelsea Clinton’s dramatic tweets to Hakeem Jeffries’ call for an investigation, we dig into the hypocrisy surrounding presidential renovations. Nearly every president—from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama—has left their mark on the White House. So why is it suddenly a scandal when President Trump does the same? 23:00 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is endorsing Zoran Mamdani—a New York politician so far left, he makes Bernie Sanders look like Milton Friedman. We unpack Mamdani’s extremist rhetoric, including his call to “globalize the Intifada,” and what that really means for Jewish communities at home and abroad. 25:30 What exactly is the “Trump Doctrine”? It's simple: be nice to me, I’ll be nice to you — cross me, and you’ll regret it. We break down President Trump’s decision to hold off on deploying the National Guard to crime-ridden San Francisco after a respectful call from the city’s Democratic mayor, Daniel Lurie. It's a perfect example of Trump’s “tit-for-tat” strategy in action — strength tempered by reason, toughness balanced with generosity. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Canada just got a cold dose of the Trump Doctrine. We break down the fallout after Ontario Premier Doug Ford pulled a $75 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that deceptively used Ronald Reagan’s words to attack U.S. tariffs. Turns out, the ad violated Canadian law — and when Trump found out, he didn’t just hit back, he shut down the negotiations altogether. 36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Trump flyingan F-16 and dumping poo on protestors, to a White House ballroom ball pit, and a Democrat Senate candidate's Nazi tattoo, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:30 As the media piles on ICE once again, we take a step back to ask a simple question: what’s to hate about enforcing the law? From sanctuary city standoffs to repeat offenders shielded by politics, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become a symbol of accountability in an age of chaos. It's not cruelty — it’s common sense — and that Americans are finally saying “whoa” to open borders and lawlessness. 42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about the White House.

Fox News anchor and author Bret Baier joins Mosheh for a revealing conversation about history, politics, and power. His new presidential biography, ⁠To Rescue the American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower⁠, explores how Roosevelt reshaped the presidency—and what his legacy reveals about leadership today. Baier discuses the striking parallels between Roosevelt and Donald Trump, from their battles with the press to their populist instincts and expansive use of executive power. Baier also shares insights from covering Trump up close—from flights aboard Air Force One to the current fights inside Washington over immigration raids, foreign policy, and new media restrictions at the Pentagon. They explore whether Roosevelt's “speak softly and carry a big stick” approach could survive in 2025—and what advice Teddy might offer Trump as he defines his second term. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel.

Benson and Hanson also discussed how Donald Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy has reshaped America's global relationships, delivering peace in the Middle East through a Teddy Roosevelt-like assertiveness.

It looked like a mid-century American town had been dropped into the Panamanian jungle — because that’s exactly what it was. But many Panamanians weren’t happy with this “country-in-a-country” arrangement. What would it take to get the Americans to leave?

We compare ourselves both to other people, and to the “inner possibilities” of the life we're meant to live. In this episode we draw wisdom from Carl Jung and Theodore Roosevelt, and discuss social media, identity, AI, and Cain and Able. "The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.” — Carl Jung “I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil.” — Theodore Roosevelt, 1899 Find us here: x.com/mattmccloskey x.com/michaelvaclav All Matt's Links - https://solo.to/mattmccloskey All Michael's Links - https://solo.to/michaelvaclav Sovereign Goods - www.etsy.com/shop/SovereignThreadGoods Cafe Medici - mediciroasting.com/?srsltid=AfmBOo…9eDe2OliQmjTc2A

Will the American Heart Association update its own guidance? They currently state: “Saturated fats are found in butter, cheese, red meat, other animal-based foods and tropical oils. Decades [of] science has proven that saturated fats can raise your ‘bad' cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease.” 4:10pm- During a segment on Piers Morgan Uncensored, progressive commentator/activist Harry Sisson said: “I dare you to name one high-ranking Democrat who compared Trump to Hitler.” Rich plays clips of then-President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both doing it prior to the 2024 election! 4:20pm- Democrats and media members are apoplectic over the Trump administration's decision to construct a grand ballroom at the White House—expanding the residence's East Wing.

“This captivating portrayal of Teddy is Bret Baier's gift to us. From Roosevelt's resilience over tragedy to his heroism in war, from his midnight rambles as police commissioner to his dramatic fights for reform as governor and president, Baier summons the irrepressible spirit of the man. What an engaging storyteller! What a joy to read!” —Doris Kearns GoodwinFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author and Fox News Channel's Chief Political Anchor, a fresh and fascinating exploration of the extraordinary life of Teddy Roosevelt, revealing how his bold leadership thrust America onto the world stage and changed the course of world history."As Bret Baier shows in this wonderfully readable biography, Theodore Roosevelt has many lessons for today." —Walter IsaacsonThere has never been a president like Theodore Roosevelt. An iconoclast shaped by fervent ideals, his early life seems ripped from the pages of an adventure novel: abandoning his place in the New York aristocracy, he was drawn to the thrill of the West, becoming an honorary cowboy who won the respect of the rough men of the plains, adopting their code of authenticity and courage. As a New York State legislator, he fought corruption and patronage. As New York City police commissioner, he walked the beat at night to hold his men accountable; and as New York governor, he butted heads with the old guard to bring fresh air to a state mired in political corruption. He was also a passionate naturalist, conservationist, and hunter who collected hundreds of specimens of birds and animals throughout his life. He was a soldier and commander who led a regiment of “Rough Riders” to victory in the Spanish-American War, a show of leadership and bravery that put him on the national map. As president, he brought energy, laughter, and bold ideas to the White House, pursuing a vigorous agenda that established America as a leader on the world stage —from advancing the Panama Canal, brokering peace with Russia, and taking on business elites.Bret Baier's exquisite book reveals the storied life of a leader whose passion, daring, and prowess left an indelible mark on the fabric of our country and reimagined the possibilities of the presidency.  https://www.bretbaier.com/to-rescue-the-american-spirit/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 21, 2025. 0:30 We unpack the outrage over President Trump’s renovation of the White House ballroom — a story the left has spun into claims that he’s “bulldozing history.” Have they forgotten that every president has updated the White House—from Teddy Roosevelt’s West Wing to Nixon’s press room and Obama’s basketball court? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A new report says not only did FEMA discriminate against Republicans and Trump supporters during the 2024 election, but has been discriminating against Republicans struck by disasters since at least 2021. The House Judicial committee referred former CIA director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for a criminal indictment, accusing Brennan of lying to Congress during his testimony on May 11, 2023 about the Russian Collusion Hoax. The US and Australia signed a rare earth mining agreement worth $8.5 billion in mining projects, including building a gallium refinery in western Australia. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We're seeing record deportation numbers under President Trump. While roughly half a million illegal immigrants were forcibly removed, 1.6 million chose to self-deport — proof of Trump’s effective and efficient approach to immigration enforcement. 17:00 And we ask the American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson— if they are going to read Karine Jean-Pierre's new book. The Mamas unpack Jean-Pierre’s media tour and the backlash that followed her “broken White House” claim. But there is a contradiction — Jean-Pierre served under Biden, yet insists the “broken” White House refers to Trump’s term. The Mamas also highlight her repeated references to race and sexuality in interviews, suggesting that identity, not merit, defined her tenure as press secretary. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take a look at Colombian President Gustavo Petro's demand for Donald Trump’s removal from office. Colombia has long benefited from billions in U.S. aid, trade, and military support, only to now criticize the very policies protecting America’s borders and curbing the drug trade. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the media’s backlash to the new Pentagon press rules issued by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth — and we aren't buying the outrage. The updates, effective October 15th, include tighter restrictions on journalist movement inside the Pentagon, new escort requirements, U.S.-citizen-only press badges, and enforcement of long-standing rules against unauthorized information release. While major outlets walked out in protest — calling the policy “dictatorial” — these are common-sense security measures, no different from those in schools or corporate buildings. So what is the media really so upset about? 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 There is a growing culture of quitting in America. Reporters are walking out of the Pentagon over new press rules and celebrities are vowing to leave the U.S. whenever elections don’t go their way. But perseverance — not retreat — is fundamental to the American spirit, and walking away in protest reflects the victim mindset on the left. 36:30 We just had another round of the "No Kings" protests, but we don't have anyone who's trying to become king in American. And that's a Bright Spot. The "No Kings" movement misses a fundamental truth: America was deliberately built to reject kingship altogether. The Founding Fathers saw monarchy as the root of tyranny and believed power should rest with ordinary citizens, not elites or hereditary rulers. 40:30 Socialist Zohran Mamdani is leading candidate in New York City's mayoral race. Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out, but he is saying "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with construction on the Pantheon in Greece.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (10/13/25), Hank discusses Columbus Day, a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492. In 2020, Columbus Day was the scene of carnage as demonstrators toppled statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt in Portland's South Park Block. Moreover, the moniker “Stolen Land” was ominously spray-painted across its concrete base. Protest organizers dubbed the event “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage.” What could possibly motivate American citizens—supposed exemplars of social justice—to behave with such wanton recklessness in a supposed era of “wokeness” and progressive values? In trying to come to grips with this question, Hank was cowed by page after page of Google search results with exclamations that Columbus was a nefarious character—a ruthless money-grubbing, genocidal maniac, who severed hands, raped women, and enslaved gentle people to satisfy white Europeans' lust for gold. One starts to wonder “how can I trust history?” Mary Grabar, author of the book, Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation Against America asked this very question. A good deal of what you read on the internet is based on Zinn's historical revisionism. It constitutes a steady diet of poison seeping into the hearts and minds of impressionable children. Grabar exposes the fake history lessons that are systematically turning a new generation of kids against American exceptionalism.

Episode 3 of Season 6 begins with the Living Leadership Interview segment. This week I had the joy to discuss leadership philosophy, the skills great leaders utilize, and the importance of lifelong learning with Trinity alumnus Kyle Porter.  Kyle is the Director of Player Performance with the Colorado Rapids who play in the Major League Soccer (MLS) Western Division. Before joining the Rapids in 2022, he worked as the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Grand Canyon State University, the Director of Soccer Performance at FC Arizona, and owned and operated Porter Athletic Performance in which he worked with over six soccer academies and clubs. While at Trinity, Kyle was a two-year captain (2011 & 2012), won four Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Championships, and advanced to the NCAA Division III National Tournament four times with three Sweet Sixteen appearances, and one Elite Eight appearance in 2008. He details how his Trinity experience as a Finance and Marketing major shaped his professional trajectory and the importance of his men's soccer teammates and Coach Paul McGinlay in helping him develop his leadership philosophy and approach to relationship building.  During our conversation, Kyle spoke in great detail about why great leaders look first to develop relationships, paraphrasing the Teddy Roosevelt quote, "Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care." We also discussed individual and organizational trust, the importance of staying in observation mode as long as you can, and that great leaders practice empathy and compassion. Kyle also highlights the value of genuine curiosity, that the "only guarantee is that there are no guarantees," and how collaboration can lead to a positive team culture.   The episode concludes with my lecture on chapter 3 of the 10th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I highlight the evolution of skills-based approaches to studying leadership and detail Mumford et al.'s Skills Model of Leadership.

Show Notes — Not the Critic Who Counts, But the Leader Who DaresHosted by Todd DeVoe and Dan ScottIn this powerful episode, Todd and Dan dive deep into one of the most timeless lessons on leadership, courage, and purpose — inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's legendary “Man in the Arena” speech. Together, they unpack what it means to truly dare greatly in the face of criticism, fear, and uncertainty.This is not a conversation about perfection — it's about presence.It's about showing up when others hesitate, leading when the path isn't clear, and owning both the victories and the scars that come with meaningful work.Todd and Dan reflect on:* The difference between critics and creators, and why leaders must embrace vulnerability to grow.* The emotional toll and moral courage required to lead through crisis, chaos, and change.* Lessons from the field — from the battlefield to the EOC — about standing firm when the stakes are high.* The power of resilience, humility, and conviction as anchors for authentic leadership.* Why daring leadership is not about status, but service — and how every act of courage, big or small, shapes the world around us.Whether you lead a team, a city, or simply yourself, this episode challenges you to step into the arena. Because, as Roosevelt reminded us, “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who errs, who comes short again and again… but who does actually strive to do the deeds.”This is a raw, reflective, and empowering conversation that reminds us that leadership is not about being fearless — it's about daring to act despite fear.

How do national parks develop their interpretive materials?

Is the National Park Service careful to take a truthful path when presenting history? Those are topical questions considering the Trump administration's efforts to rid the National Park System of interpretive materials that disparage Americans. But political influences on park messaging are not unique to the Trump administration. Robert Pahre, a political science professor at the University of Illinois, has been studying the effect of politics on national park interpretation in the past.

This does not square with the administration's supposed isolationism, but the U.S. has never been isolationist when it comes to the Western Hemisphere.

This is the sequel to my episode on what makes a good man. That one was about character. This one is about the daily work. The things you earn. The things you can't buy. Three things every man needs to work on every single day. A fit body. A calm mind. A house full of love. None of these come easy. None of these stay without consistency. All of them are temporary without intention. A fit body isn't about six-pack abs. It's about showing up. Five days a week. Thirty minutes minimum. Watching what you put in your body. The formula is simple. Your target weight times ten equals your calorie intake. Add some dumbbell work. That's it. Stop overcomplicating it. A calm mind doesn't mean you're not an entrepreneur with twenty-seven ideas in the shower. It means emotional stability. Being grounded. You can get angry and still have a calm mind. You can get pissed off and still have a calm mind. It's about bringing yourself back to baseline. Making choices instead of reacting. That's what leads to a house full of love. Theodore Roosevelt said it best. The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything. You want to know why you're stuck. You're playing it too safe. You think you need fifty grand saved before you start. You think you need all your ducks in a row. That's bullshit. Risk is the only way to gain everything you want. Big things are only obtainable by people who make big screw-ups. The third thing is patience. A man who is a master of patience is a master of everything else. Not patience with everyone else. Patience with yourself. You can't be patient with your kids driving you crazy if you're not patient with yourself. You miss a deadline. You yell at someone you love. Be patient with yourself. Apologize. Tell them you're working on it. Tell them you'll do better. That's how you build a huge heart.

The White House has been home to a menagerie of pets, from working animals such as horses and sheep, to companions of the Scottish Terrier and Siamese cat varieties - with the odd raccoon, cow, or badger thrown in, as well. Like the almost 90 million American households who have a pet, many First Families have brought animals home even when the address was 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. White House Historical Association president Stewart McLaurin meets Alan Price, director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and takes a tour of their new exhibit, Presidential Pets. Museum curators have gathered rarely seen items from their own collection, including dog biscuits kept in President Kennedy's desk to feed the pups who visited him in the Oval Office. Other Presidential Libraries and Museums have loaned dozens of items to help tell the story of the creatures who have inhabited the White House. In this episode you'll see a Navy coat made for Fala, the beloved Scottie of President Franklin D. Roosevelt; a doghouse in the shape of the White House made for Rex, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cherished by the Reagans; a saddle and riding crop used by President Theodore Roosevelt; and a rare look at a passport made for Pushinka, the dog gifted by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to the Kennedy family.

As we continue shaping the introduction to NeuroHarmonics, we're presenting a three-part series on Walter Russell. We touched on his work a few years ago, but we're returning to it now because his life so clearly illustrates what our method is all about. Since NeuroHarmonics blends timeless human wisdom with insights from modern brain science, we'll begin with some core wisdom principles and then see how Russell's extraordinary life embodied one of its deepest truths. Here are a few key teachings to consider: 1.    There is an infinite intelligence behind all creation—call it God, or any name you like. 2.    Our understanding of this power is always limited by our finite minds. 3.    This remarkable power lives within every person and can be called the “Indwelling God Presence.” 4.    Because it is always within us, we can choose to uncover it and connect our awareness to it. 5.    Focusing on it makes us better human beings and greatly increases our inner fulfillment and happiness. Now, how does Walter Russell fit in? Born in poverty in Boston in 1873, he left school after the fourth grade. Yet he became a world-renowned painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, and spiritual philosopher. He was also a multi-millionaire New Yorker and a close friend of presidents, kings, poets, and artists. So how did this disadvantaged fourth-grade dropout achieve such heights? Amazingly, Russell claimed it was simple: he tapped into the Indwelling God Presence within him, which was the source of his wisdom, creativity, and initiative. This first episode in our Walter Russell series offers the amusing story of how I first heard of him, along with an overview of his extraordinary life. As it unfolds, keep in mind that he credited everything to the Indwelling Presence he contacted within himself. And most important of all, he insisted that anyone could do the same. In his view, the question was never if it works—the only question was whether you will try it. Enjoy the story…    Episode 40 – Self-Bestowed Genius                         I have found that every once in a while, some unexpected information can come from an unexpected source and make an unexpectedly major change in your outlook on life. Something like that happened to me a few years ago.             I was in the pool behind our condo and a stranger came over and introduced himself to me.  We struck up an informal conversation with one random topic casually leading to another. At one point he asked me if I had ever heard of someone named Walter Russell. I drew a complete blank. The name meant nothing to me at all and I said so.             Looking surprised at my ignorance, he launched into a string of hyperboles about this person I'd never heard of - that he was one of the most multi-talented people who ever lived, that his rags-to-riches story was one of the classics in American History, that he was a teacher of Consciousness Evolution, who claimed that we can all become geniuses if we want to and that Walter Cronkite had called him the “Leonardo DaVinci of our time,” when he announced his death on national TV in 1963. And on and on and on.            Then, he said with a sly smile, that Walter Russell was so brilliant and so prolific that he made Benjamin Franklin look like a “schlepper.”           Now, I'm pretty familiar with US history and culture, and I've been aware of Consciousness Evolution since the idea first caught my eye in the early 70s, and in all this time, I had never once heard of Walter Russell. So naturally, I was skeptical. After all, if this Russell guy was so great, how come I had never heard of him?           The stranger's looks didn't help dispel my doubts either. He was obviously a bit “out there.” A not-quite-former hippie in his mid-sixties, it seemed like he had not-quite-returned from wherever it was that his last acid trip had dropped him off.            And frankly, his Ben Franklin “schlepper” comment rubbed me the wrong way. Schlepper is a fairly nasty Yiddish term with a host of meanings, one more pejorative than the next.  It's basically a lazy dim-wit who can only perform menial tasks and can't be trusted. Just your average dolt. Now, I have always been a huge fan of Franklin's, and idea of applying the term to him just didn't sit well with me.           Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the stranger in the pool did a perfect Groucho Marx impersonation. It turned out that he did Groucho impressions for a living, and he broke into a string of jokes that were actually pretty funny. Impersonation seemed like it was second nature to him.              Then, he looked over to the far corner of the pool, rolled his eyes, sang “Hello, I must be going” and swam away. An instant later, he was playing Groucho to a few well-groomed ladies who had just come into the pool.           It was a mildly amusing event at the pool during a pleasantly uneventful summer, and I made a lukewarm mental note to look this Walter Russell up someday. I jotted the name down, stuck it in a junk drawer and forgot about it.           At least six months must have gone by before I stumbled on the note again. I was sort of killing time, which is something I've been known to be a master of, so I thought I'd do a quick Google search.           I was expecting to find a few miniscule bits of information that I'd browse for a few moments, then move onto something else. But what I found really was something else and in a matter of seconds, I couldn't believe what I was reading. And I don't mean that as a figure of speech. What I mean is that I actually couldn't believe what I was reading. It seemed preposterous, like it couldn't possibly have been true. I had never seen anything quite like it before.           Walter Russell had been a prominent 20th century figure, a self-made millionaire who lived in New York City and had a studio in Carnegie Hall.  A master painter and sculptor, he had also started a large architect firm in the city and had been intimately involved with the construction and financing of seventeen significant buildings. He owned a stable of Arabian horses in Central Park and was a renown equestrian. He took up figure skating in his forties and won the US national championship against competitors in their twenties. And later in life, as he got involved in the study of chemistry, he helped upgrade the periodic table of elements.           His name was always in the papers and he ran with quite a crowd - Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla and FDR, to name just a few. Not to mention his close friend Thomas J. Watson, Sr., who founded IBM.           And yet not one person that I knew had ever heard of him. It was incredible. How could someone who had accomplished so much, in so many different fields, on such a grand scale, be so unknown? It didn't make sense. After all, this wasn't ancient history and it certainly didn't happen in a vacuum.           I was astounded and kept reading. Two books that were several decades old caught my eye – “The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe,” and “The Secret of Working Knowingly with God.” The titles surprised me. I didn't see their connection to the subject matter I had been reading.           I looked them up and the price was right, so I ordered them blind. When they came a few days later, it was immediately clear that this whole story ran much deeper than I thought.  I was stunned by the books and couldn't put them down.           To begin to grasp the depth of the story, the first thing to understand is that Russell was basically uneducated. Born into a very poor family in Boston in 1871, his parents got him in a job in a grocery store when he was about 10 years old.  To help support the family, he dropped out of school after the fourth grade and never went back. So, amazingly given all that he had accomplished, he had no college, no high school or even junior high.           Yet, he went on to become one of the most accomplished people in history - a self-made millionaire, friend to presidents and kings, an internationally renowned painter, sculptor, musician, architect, scientist, sportsman, businessman, and master teacher. His resume was obviously well-documented and his vast accomplishments were completely verified.           Although what he did was truly amazing, even more amazing was how he said he did it. According to him, from the time he was a young boy, he experienced a series of inner illuminations that continued throughout his entire life. And these inner illuminations tapped him into a vast storehouse of wisdom, indeed the wisdom of the universe.           It all started when he was seven years old.  He was playing marbles with some friends and suddenly, “Something tremendous happened to me, something indescribable, something so beautiful, so wonderful, a sort of complete blotting out of everything concerning the physical universe, concerning my body.           “A great burst of changing colors – blue, violet, orange seemed to fill and pervade all space and me. I was swallowed up in it. Then that ceased and there was a blinding flash and I stood motionless.”           He couldn't function at all for several hours and it took him over a week to recover his normal consciousness. But he really wasn't the same. In fact, he was never the same again.           It happened to him again the following May. And then it happened every May for the rest of his life. Every seven years the episode would be particularly intense, lasting for several days at a time. Once, he was in the altered state, in tune with this universal intelligence for 39 days.           Following each experience, he would find that he was different, as though his whole being had been elevated. Sublime understandings would crystallize in his mind. He seemed to have direct access to new levels of information. His existing talents would deepen or he would develop new ones.           For example, he could play the piano at a young age, but following one of the episodes, he was suddenly able to write and play advanced musical compositions, with a depth of emotion and pathos that was extraordinary. Everyone noticed the changes and several of the formal pieces he composed were played by symphony orchestras throughout the world.           The exact same thing happened with his skill as an artist. He had some talent and training, but it expanded exponentially after one of his episodes and he started churning out masterpieces. He soon became the artistic director of Colliers Magazine, and his series of pictures called, “The most beautiful children in America” won several awards.      He drew a portrait of Teddy Roosevelt's children that hung in the White House for a time.             On another occasion, his talent as a sculptor manifested instantaneously. He created over fifty masterpieces including busts of Thomas Edison and Mark Twain that are breath-taking in their level of realism.           Soon afterwards, in a completely different arena, he invented the concept of the co-op apartment in Manhattan and personally drew-up the first co-op lease in history, which his lawyer said was perfect in its legal detail.           It was all so hard to believe, not to mention that it was all done by a fourth-grade dropout. But he said that he had been granted the ability to transcend his mind's normal thought processes and tap directly into the intelligence of the universe which, he said, is all-knowing.            This intelligence is divine in nature and is the home of all our noble human virtues including wisdom, love and compassion, according to him.  He termed it the very life force which sustains us all and carries the genius of our consciousness on every plane - physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual.           Russell's work output continued to explode, much of which required extreme precision. And his incredible achievements were acknowledged at the highest levels. For twelve consecutive years, he was the main trainer of the entire IBM sales force. Thomas J. Watson, the company's Founder and President, said that Russell's accomplishments were equal to seven lifetimes of achievement, all performed at peak levels of excellence.           His life became an example of a most lofty ideal – that of being able to live in a state that he termed “ecstatic joy,” while remaining completely grounded and succeeding brilliantly in his life.            According to him, this rarified state, where the inner and outer worlds are in complete harmony, is not only completely natural, it is the way we are meant to live.  And he said that it doesn't diminish with age. In fact, it increases.               He was living proof. He remained in good health well into his old age, with his awareness fully intact, enjoying profound happiness and fulfillment. He finally passed away exactly on his 92nd birthday, and that was in 1963, when the average life expectancy for an American man was sixty-six!           He always held that this genius intelligence exists within every single one of us and we are each capable of connecting with it exactly as he had. We can all become much greater than we think, but we have to make the decision to open up to it ourselves to it and connect with it in a way that is our own.           “Many have asked if I could more specifically direct them how to kindle that spark of inner fire which illuminates the way to one's self. That I cannot do,” he wrote. “I can merely point the way and tell you of its existence. You must then find it for yourself.” And he famously added, “Mediocrity is self-inflicted. Genius is self-bestowed.”           Now if you're like I was when I first got exposed to this story, with all of its implications, you're probably pretty blown out. It's a lot to absorb, on many levels.           He left behind an enormous amount of material on the subject of consciousness evolution and expansion.  His writings are vast and the subject matter is profound. A great place to start is with his “Five Laws of Success.”            In the next episode, we'll explore them and you may be surprised by how simple, natural and powerful they are. Like all of Russell's teachings, they are meant to be practical. You just try them on for size and see how they fit.           Well, that's the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

BULLETIN: SEASON 4 EPISODE 16, COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN In an Oval Office news briefing crazy even by his standards, Trump answered a question about the FCC blackmailing of ABC over Charlie Kirk by changing the topic to himself, making up a statistic that "94, 95, 96, or 97 percent" of all network television stories about him are critical of him, and declaring of such criticism: "That's really illegal, in my opinion." In Trump's damaged condition he could forget this by morning. But after this week's mafioso style shakedown of ABC by the FCC and the owners of Sinclair to force Jimmy Kimmel off the air by FCC Commissioner, Brendan Carr, the real question is - what if he doesn't? What if somebody like Carr in his administration decides to curry favor with Trump by trying to enforce an "it's illegal to criticize Trump" declaration"? Taking the two stories together, and perhaps adding in Trump's threat to declare something that doesn't really exist (Antifa) a "terrorist organization" (which could just as easily lead to him declaring you a member of Antifa and thus a "terrorist") the FCC's action is so bad that it provoked serious, well-thought-out, sober yet angry condemnation Friday afternoon from the unlikeliest of sources: Senator Ted Cruz, who warned Republicans that the government needed to stay out of the bullying media business. Whether that will register with Trump remains to be seen. For now the gist is: Trump says criticizing him (or in the best possible interpretation, criticizing him a LOT) is illegal. He cannot remain president under such circumstances.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
