"American History Hotline" is a new weekly series that will follow host and history enthusiast Bob Crawford as he searches for the best historians and experts to answer listener questions about American history - from the Revolutionary War to rock & roll feuds.The first two episodes will dive into some of the most fascinating and timely aspects of American history and government. Episode 1, "Dead on the 4th of July," explores the true story of Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both dying on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Historian Lindsay Chervinsky unpacks this uncanny coincidence, along with other surprising tales of patriotic deaths linked to Independence Day. Episode 2, "Does the Constitution Prevent a Dictator," features Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, who explains how the U.S. Constitution is designed to protect our country from being taken over by a power-hungry dictator and how much of our federal government is based on political norms and precedents that are vulnerable to the whims of the masses.Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-american-history-hotline-273590600/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard chats with Steven Puri, a former Hollywood studio executive turned entrepreneur. Steven has worked on blockbuster films like Independence Day and Transformers, but today he's focused on helping remote workers stay productive, happy, and focused through his company, Sukha.   Steven shares his personal journey and what led him to rethink productivity. Instead of chasing long hours and constant hustle, he now believes in working with intention and finding flow. He talks about how our environment, like having a creative workspace, can really boost performance. Drawing from his Hollywood background, he explains how the same creative principles can apply to remote work.   The conversation also dives into Sukha, an AI-powered tool he created to help people manage overwhelm. It helps users stay focused by organizing tasks, using music to encourage deep work, and creating simple, structured workflows.   Throughout the episode, you'll hear plenty of practical tips, like how to mentally “commute” to your home office, how to work in sync with your body's natural energy patterns (your chronotype), and how to use AI as a support tool rather than a replacement for creativity.   What We Discuss [02:01] Introduction to Steven Puri [05:49] Evolution of productivity: Then vs. now [09:22] Steven's film industry background [11:24] Legacy and meaningful work [12:47] Flow state: Hollywood lessons for remote work [16:48] Environmental triggers and productivity barriers [19:44] Morning routines and focus [21:54] Leadership lessons from film for remote teams [28:30] Chronotypes and personal productivity rhythms [30:20] Maintaining boundaries in remote work [33:35] AI and the future of remote productivity [36:44] How to connect with Steven   Notable Quotes   [07:40] "Now, I really measure my productivity by the effect, not by how many hours I work." – Steven Puri   [08:39] "I was just burning the candle at both ends and being really productive, but after I recovered, I realized I was more productive by being mindful and intentional." – Gerald J. Leonard   [21:47] "You talk a lot about purpose and intention. These are powerful. When you apply them, powerful things happen." – Steven Puri   [24:28] "It's always about the other thing. The part of your mind that does the cool, 'ooh, peanut butter and chocolate' — that can only function when you have something else to focus on." – Steven Puri   [35:33] "It's not AI that's replacing you. It's people who know how to use AI. Because someone who really understands how to use it can do the work of 10 to 20 people." – Steven Puri Our Guest Steven Puri is the Founder and CEO of The Sukha Company with the mission to help millions of‬ people find their focus, achieve more and have a healthy work life.‬ Steven's career started as a newscaster/interviewer for the #1 youth news show in the‬ ‭DC/Baltimore market (on WTTG-TV) and then as a junior software engineer & Thomas J.‬ Watson Scholar at IBM. After attending USC in Los Angeles, he began working in film‬ ‭production and produced computer-generated visual effects for 14 movies including‬ Independence Day which won the Academy Award for Visual Effects.‬ Steven's first tech company was Centropolis Effects that produced those CGI effects, and he‬ eventually sold it to the German media conglomerate Das Werk when he was 28.‬ Steven then produced some indie films and eventually went studio-side to develop and produce‬ live-action features as a VP of Development & Production at 20th Century Fox (running the Die‬ Hard and Wolverine franchises) and an EVP at DreamWorks Pictures for Kurtzman-Orci‬ Productions where he worked on Star Trek, Transformers and more.‬   Resources Steven Puri LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-puri Email: steven@sukha.co The Sukha Company: https://www.thesukha.co/ APP: https://app.thesukha.co/landing (Try free for 7 days)   Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com   Gerald J.

France will become the first major Western country to recognize a Palestinian state, prompting many to wonder if this will set off a chain reaction. Is it possible that Hamas' savage attack could set off a chain of events that results in the establishment of a Palestinian state?Meanwhile, there has been a lot of press in recent days about starvation among Gazans. Research by Yannay Spitzer of Hebrew University on the price of flour in the Gaza Strip has convinced many reluctant Israelis that this time, unlike before, the reports of starvation are real. In response, Israel announced that it will halt military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of the strip, as Jordan and the UAE resumed airdrops of humanitarian aid. To discuss the food crisis and the significance of President Macron's declaration, we were joined by Call me Back contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal. (00:00) Introduction(04:44) Vote for a Palestinian state(08:04) Hunger crisis in Gaza?(28:05) Hostage and ceasefire negotiations(30:55) Could 10/7 go down as Independence Day for the Palestinians?(39:21) Retrospective on Israel's strategy(46:59) What happens to the hostages?(51:40) OutroCREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Was America's Independence Day influenced by secret societies? In this insightful episode of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into July 4th, 1776, unraveling the layers of history, rebellion, and the potential shadowy ties of Freemasonry. This critical examination blends 60% verified historical accounts with 40% plausible conspiracy theories, offering a unique perspective on one of the most iconic dates in American history. From the Boston Tea Party to the Continental Congress debates, we explore the revolutionary ideals sparked by figures like Jefferson and Franklin—many of whom had documented ties to Masonic lodges. Could the Declaration of Independence carry hidden meanings or esoteric roots linked to Freemason networks or even the Illuminati? We also bust popular myths, including the idea of a July 4th mass signing, and dive into the symbolism that continues to intrigue theorists today.As a podcaster, historian enthusiast, and CEO of Command Your Brand, I've interviewed countless experts to bring you the most thought-provoking insights into America's founding. This must-watch episode challenges conventional narratives, highlights Enlightenment philosophies, and addresses why July 4th remains a flashpoint for both history and conspiracy.Join the conversation by commenting on your take—do Masonic ties elevate the Founding Fathers' legacy, or raise questions about hidden agendas?

Certified coach Kathleen Muldoon discusses her article, "Choosing between care and country: a dual citizen's Independence Day reflection." As a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen and mother to a child with complex health care needs, she explores the profound tension of navigating two vastly different systems. Kathleen recounts the painful, personal decision to turn down a job in her native Canada after discovering its universal system, while philosophically aligned with her values, would likely fail to provide the timely, specialized support her son requires. The conversation delves into the "quiet grief" of choosing the fragmented but fast-moving U.S. system to meet her son's needs at the cost of her own well-being and a return to her homeland. Kathleen explains how this trade-off informs her work in medical humanities, highlighting how health care systems reflect deep cultural priorities about interdependence and worthiness, and the hidden emotional costs for the caregivers who must live within them. The key takeaway is that no system is perfect, and true citizenship involves loving a country enough to name its limits and bravely holding the tension of uncomfortable choices.

Happy America Day, or Cinco de Mayo, or Arbor Day, or… Today we celebrate Independence Day by wearing red, talking about bacon-tomato sandwiches (with sexy time), mispronouncing patron names, and learning what "arrears" means, maybe. We also explore whether coffee can be absorbed through beards, if sliding down fictional characters is allowed, and why Volvo ruins everyone's air conditioning. PLUS: the origin of the term “Starting Box,” a brief jazz interlude, thoughts on khakis in Ireland, and an episode dedication to (possibly) Donnell, Danell, Donald, or Danielle O'Brien.Also, did you know there's only one shortstop in baseball? That's upsetting.All your feeds here https://anchor.fm/lettuceguysPatreon here http://patreon.com/twoguystalkingaboutlettuce

The United States once again finds itself metaphorically “on the ropes,” staggering beneath the weight of white nationalism and nativist logics, elite-driven legislation, electoral political theater, digital mass media distortion, and deepening economic, social, and cultural divides. Buffeted by increasingly powerful international forces, is the idea of a US counterpunch more delusion than reality? Can the various groups in the US rediscover their best moments of clarity of collective purpose in order to push back oppressive forces, or have both the country and the people in it already punched themselves out? The two-week ritual corridor from Juneteenth to Independence Day is symbolized by the 1910 Jack Johnson–Jim Jeffries “Fight of the Century,” where African racial pride met white panic in full and deadly public view. Today's avatars —from politicians to marching bands defying the narrative—continue to represent resistance. Like Bobby Blue Bland's silken lament in “I Pity the Fool,” the momentum of memory to be found in our cultural meaning-making enables unfiltered introspection on shame, resilience, and the never-ending determination to renegotiate the ever-fracturing terms of the US social structure.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From time to time, these comments might have given the impression of dissatisfaction with Federal Reserve Chair Powell. While one can (very) credibly disagree with Powell's policies, those policies are independent. Yesterday, Powell defended that independence, publicly correcting US President Trump's errors about the Fed's building projects. Powell suggested that Trump's trade tax policy was behind some cost overruns (a subtle reminder that US consumers pay tariffs, not foreign exporters).

Those that have been spoiled by the riches we have now see an American response against those that try to take these freedoms from us. The Democrats have turned into a socialistic-communistic regime, even now in this budget process. Chuck Schumer pushes to have all 940 pages of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' to stall the bill's passage. Nancy Pelosi, when she was Speaker of the House suggested that we "pass the bill and then read it." Can you believe that !!?? Two democrats with diabolically opposite approaches to a budget process. Each is not to help you understand a bill process. Each approach allows them to push their agenda, NOT YOURS!WMXI Episode 171: Successes Surround Independence DayOriginally Aired on WMXI Radio on Friday, July 3, 2025➡️ Join the Conversation: https://GeneValentino.com➡️ WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981➡️ More WMXI Interviews: https://genevalentino.com/wmxi-interviews/➡️ More GrassRoots TruthCast Episodes: https://genevalentino.com/grassroots-truthcast-with-gene-valentino/➡️ More Broadcasts with Gene as the Guest: https://genevalentino.com/america-beyond-the-noise/ ➡️ More About Gene Valentino: https://genevalentino.com/about-gene-valentino/

Independence Day has passed which usually means the meat industry goes into a lull, but this year there is an interesting phenomenon taking place. Jeff Swenson the Meat and Livestock Specialist with DATCP is here to give an inside look into why the meat markets are holding strong when it comes to beef and pork as well as how the recent new tariffs may impact the US producers. He says that lamb is also holding strong due to a new market in the Bahamas. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew wanted to be great, but believed greatness was something he could earn in the world, rather than a person He was destined to meet. The person who is Greatness Himself came looking for Matthew today, and He has come looking for us and for our nation. It is impossible to be great without Him. “Follow Me.”

Much like The Bodyguard, ARMAGEDDON's primary legacy is its MTV-Movie-Award-Winning song, a little Aerosmith ditty called I Don't Want To Miss a Thing. What does that say about the movie, and would it be different if Bay's film didn't live under the shadow of Independence Day?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hGvQj376Uw Podcast audio: The 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference, held in Boston, Massachusetts, wrapped up two weeks ago, and now you can get a taste of the wide range of topics and speakers featured at the event in a new highlights video. The compilation includes clips from the following talks: “What is Western Civilization?” by Yaron Brook; “Revolutionary Constitutionalism” by C. Bradley Thompson; “Enlightenment on Trial: The Real Lessons of the American and French Revolutions” by Don Watkins; “Saving the Enlightenment” by Onkar Ghate; “The Road to Fascism (And Are We on It?)” by Nikos Sotirakopoulos; “Immigration Enforcement and the Betrayal of Due Process” by Agustina Vergara Cid; “Principles of a Proper Foreign Policy” by Peter Schwartz; “America Should Declare Independence from Altruism” by Ben Bayer; “Conceiving Values” by Greg Salmieri.

Send us a textFreedom, discipline, and intentional growth—these seemingly contradictory concepts form the powerful foundation of sustainable success in business and life, as explored by Jared Ledford and Eric Olson in this reflective Steel Kings episode.Drawing inspiration from Independence Day, the hosts peel back the surface of entrepreneurship to examine what truly drives fulfilling work. "If you get to the point in your life where you do what you love every day, you'll never work a day in your life," Jared reflects, connecting the passionate joy of kids playing baseball in "The Sandlot" to the satisfaction they've found in the shed and steel building industry.The conversation takes a compelling turn as they discuss the concept of "pruning"—intentionally cutting away what's not bearing fruit to create space for new growth. Both hosts share candidly about difficult business decisions that initially felt like risks but ultimately cleared the path for their current success. "When you clean your slate off, now you can write on it," Eric observes, highlighting how removing unproductive elements creates clarity and new possibilities.Perhaps most practical is their insight on maintaining consistency through the inevitable ups and downs of sales cycles. Rather than riding emotional highs and lows, they advocate for steady discipline—doing the same productive tasks daily regardless of immediate results. As John Maxwell wisely noted and Jared quotes: "The secret to your success is found in your daily routine."Community involvement emerges as another cornerstone of their approach, with both hosts actively engaged in local chambers of commerce and events. They challenge listeners: Whatever your position is right now—good, bad, or indifferent—you can do something today to change your tomorrow. This commitment to incremental, consistent action has transformed their business and can do the same for yours.Ready to bring more intention to your business approach?

New York City's beaches are especially crowded during the warm summer months, and Independence Day weekend 2024 was no exception. Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, Station 47's beach gator unit sprang into action when five swimmers in a closed section of the beach were caught in large swells and a rip current, slamming them into the Beach 91 jetty as they struggled to say afloat.

In this enlightening episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a profound discussion with Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the Declaration of Independence and its lasting impact on American society. As the nation recently celebrated Independence Day, the conversation serves as a timely reminder of the principles that founded the United States.The episode begins with a reflection on the brilliance of the Declaration, described by Dr. Arnn as a "philosophic, political, theological masterpiece." He highlights the intellectual influences that shaped Thomas Jefferson's writing, noting that Jefferson drew from the ideas of great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and John Locke. This rich philosophical background laid the groundwork for a document that would not only declare independence but also articulate the values of liberty and equality that define America.One of the key themes discussed is the evolution of religious freedom in America. Dr. Arnn explains how early settlers sought religious conformity, yet over time, they recognized the necessity of allowing diverse beliefs to flourish. This journey towards understanding the importance of religious freedom is a testament to the evolving nature of American society.As the conversation shifts to the Civil War, Levin and Arnn examine Abraham Lincoln's reliance on the Declaration of Independence to frame the moral argument against slavery. Lincoln's ability to connect the principles of the Declaration to the struggle for freedom and equality underscores the document's enduring relevance. Dr. Arnn emphasizes that Lincoln viewed the Declaration as the foundation of American identity, a perspective that resonates deeply in contemporary discussions about liberty and justice.The episode also addresses the challenges posed by modern progressivism. Levin and Arnn critique how some contemporary interpretations of the Declaration seek to distort its original meaning, arguing for a return to the foundational principles that have guided the nation. They discuss the dangers of viewing the Declaration as merely a historical artifact rather than a living document that continues to inspire and challenge Americans today.Listeners will come away from this episode with a deeper appreciation for the Declaration of Independence, not just as a historical document, but as a vital part of the American ethos. The insights shared by Levin and Arnn encourage us to reflect on our nation's founding principles and consider how they apply to the challenges we face in the present day.
