Day 244 Today's Reading: Revelation 6 Located in Washington DC is the iconic memorial to Thomas Jefferson. And written on the northeast portico of the memorial are these sobering and haunting words our country needs to read and digest again from one of our founding fathers: “Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” Wow, that is sobering. God's justice will always be turned loose against sin. The best definition of sin I have ever read is from John Piper: “[Sin] is the glory of God not honored, the holiness of God not reverenced, the greatness of God not admired, the power of God not praised, the truth of God not sought, the wisdom of God not esteemed, the beauty of God not treasured, the goodness of God not savored, the faithfulness of God not trusted, the promises of God not believed, the commandments of God not obeyed, the justice of God not respected, the wrath of God not feared, the grace of God not cherished, the presence of God not prized, the person of God not loved.” God's justice will judge sin. The problem is that, from our standpoint, it takes too long. Whenever we see sin and injustice, we want immediate recompense. The living asks for it, and in today's chapter, we have another group asking for it. In Revelation 6 we hear the cry of the dead, but not just the dead—those who have died for their faith in Jesus. Listen to the cry of the martyrs when the Lamb broke the fifth seal, and we hear their hallowed voices: “When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?'” (Revelation 6:9-10) Many believe early church father Tertullian said these famous words, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” He argued that persecution actually strengthens the church; as martyrs bravely and willingly die for their faith, onlookers convert. In Christianity Today, Morgan Lee goes on to say: “Some 1,800 years later, restrictions on religion are stronger than ever. According to the Pew Research Center, 74 percent of the world's population live in a country where social hostilities involving religion are high, and 64 percent live where government restrictions on religion are high. Does this explain why Christianity is likewise growing worldwide?” The Revelation 6 martyr's question is our question: “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” That is the question for the living and the dead. When is God going to put things right? When is God going to judge those who rightly deserve judgment? Here is what I have learned about God and immediate judgment. First, God is patient. God is willing to wait. Second, God is willing to be misunderstood in delay. While men cry for “now,” God sees the bigger picture as more important than answering our immediate cry. And third, there will be a day when God will make everything right; it just may not be the day on your calendar. So God is patient. God can handle mischaracterization about Himself while He delays. And God will have the final word. The book of 2 Peter gives such a great perspective to the “how long?” question the martyrs of Revelation 6 asked. The context of the answer is that people want Jesus to return quickly. They want that final judgment day to happen to show the mockers and skeptics that God is real and that they are going to get what's coming to them. But Peter explains God's reason for the delay: “His' delay' simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9, TPT). The Message says it like this, “He's giving everyone space and time to change.” When we and the martyrs ask how long or why the delay in receiving justice, God wants us to understand that He is giving everyone space and time to change. God is willing to wait through mischaracterization, accusation, and our exhaustion, and even death to bring as many people to heaven as He can. And I believe He is waiting on those who caused the injustice and the deaths. Don't mistake God's patience for His absence. Patience is not the absence of action but the wisdom of knowing the right time to act. Thank You, God, for being patient not only with me but with all of humanity.

[00:30] Trump the 'Dictator' (41 minutes) The ruling class and the regime media are coming unglued at the possibility of Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election, saying it would end democracy and begin an authoritarian dictatorship. The Washington Post even ran an article about a “Trump dictatorship” with a picture linking Trump to Julius Caesar, who was assassinated to “save” the republic. [41:30] Study Like a Founding Father (14 minutes) Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson took great pleasure from deep study. Higher education today does not teach this important skill, and Western society is set up to make it extremely difficult to love learning.

This week I look at the concept of thanksgiving. First, I consider the importance of giving thanks as described in Romans 1. Then, I address the historical significance of Thanksgiving, including two Thanksgiving proclamations given by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Their proclamations are nothing short of Christian in their theology and terminology. If those proclamations were given today by a governor or president, I imagine that the person would quickly be labeled a Christian Nationalist. As always, if you have any law/government related questions, feel free to email me at thegbgpodcast@gmail.com, and I will be happy to address them on the program. Thank you and God bless!

This week, Clay Jenkinson's conversation with guest host David Horton about three remarkable moments in American history between administrations. First, the tragedy of Meriwether Lewis, who got caught between the outgoing administration of his mentor Thomas Jefferson and the incoming administration of President James Madison, who was no admirer of Lewis. This gap contributed to the nervous collapse of Lewis and probably his suicide in 1809. Then the burden that fell on the shoulders of Vice President Harry S. Truman in April 1945 when FDR died at Warm Springs and Truman learned about the existence of the atomic bomb and the Manhattan Project for the first time that day. And finally, the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson's attempts to fulfill JFK's agenda on Vietnam, civil rights, and the space program.

Frederick Madison Roberts, the great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, had an major impact on early 20th century politics in California and was the first Black legislator in Los Angeles and the state as a whole.

Learn that the idea of gratitude and giving thanks is an ancient concept for mankind and expressly elevated in the Bible. Review how days of thanksgiving were originally commemorated in the English colonies in Virginia and Massachusetts, with the English dissenters, the Pilgrims, having the most influential celebrations. In the colonial era, Thanksgiving celebrations were centered on particular events and circumstances, and, accordingly, happened at different times. As Americans united against British tyranny, they made continental wide proclamations through the Continental Congress, but again tied to specific events and times. President George Washington issued the first two Thanksgiving Proclamations under the Constitution, and John Adams and James Madison did the same. Thomas Jefferson refused, and after James Madison, Thanksgiving was proclaimed by the States, but not by the President, until Abraham Lincoln. Sarah Josepha Hale's drive to create a uniform, nation wide celebration was embraced by Lincoln and his successors, and it became firmly fixed to the Fourth Thursday of November under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Feasts, running, football, parades, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday all flow from this powerful day of gratitude.

Paul Knight, a planner with the design firm Historical Concepts, can give you a dozen reasons for just about anything. More importantly, he can give you reasons for brushing up on the lectures of former Georgia Tech professor Douglas Allen. Allen was a giant in the field of urban planning, and fortunately some of his former students and colleagues have carried on his work following his passing. Paul is one of them, helping form the Douglas Allen Institute.This may all sound very academic, and I know I often take shots at academia. But, when it works well, it's amazing the impact one really great professor can have on so many people. I wanted to talk with Doug, because I know just how brilliant the man was, and how it's even better that his work will live on for future generations. For example, the Institute was able to videotape his lectures from his “History of Urban Form” course, and they've made them available for free on YouTube. If you're at all interested in the history of cities and towns, I couldn't recommend something more highly.Several years ago, Paul also opened my eyes to the whole rabbit hole of base 12 versus base 10 measurements. I'm now a firm believer in base 12. In this episode, Paul even lets me know there's a Dozenal Society. I should've guessed, but had no idea.Since we made a few minor errors in the podcast, here are the official corrections:* In regards to the “Jeffersonian” grid, and what it really should be called, here's what Allen had in his lecture notes: “Congress formed a committee originally chaired by Thomas Jefferson, but  eventually by Hugh Williamson of North Carolina. Jefferson had proposed ten states and  a measurement system of his own invention based on the nautical mile. After Jefferson was called away to Paris, Williamson's committee adopted the Gunter Chain and the system of feet and inches that are in use today.”* I was trying to think of the “4 rod Main Street,” which is a historic pattern throughout much of the United Kingdom and the US. The rod is 16.5 feet, and the four rod street was thus 66 feet wide. 66 feet is also one chain.* The reason a mile is 5,280 feet is that it's exactly 320 rods.* The book I couldn't remember was “Measuring America: How the United States was Shaped by the Greatest Land Sale in History.”Please look at the work of the Douglas Allen Institute, and the Urban Form Standard that Paul mentions. It's really pretty terrific work.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010. Videos here.

It's Friday, November 17th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Evangelizing pastor in Nepal fears conviction sets ominous precedent As he awaits prison after a wrongful conviction for evangelizing in Nepal, Pastor Keshab Raj Acharya fears his case will set a precedent for authorities to incarcerate other Christians, reports Morning Star News. The 35-year-old pastor said he fears that the police and the judiciary will cite his case as an example to send Christians to prison for either evangelizing or being guilty of so-called “forcible conversion” even without evidence. Pastor Acharya said, “In case someone willfully converts to Christ, the police and the court will convict the person through whom this believer has heard the message of Christ and His salvation. Where does the police/judiciary draw the line between ‘forced conversion' and ‘voluntary conversion'?” After Nepal's High Court reduced his sentence on July 13th from two years in prison to one year, the Supreme Court refused to consider Pastor Acharya's appeal on October 6th. In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on My account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Speaker Mike Johnson unapologetically defends our Christian heritage Here in America, the Left believes the world is coming to an end because Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, a self-professed evangelical Christian, was elected House Speaker, reports WorldNetDaily.com. Listen to what this former Alliance Defending Freedom attorney had to say from the floor of the House six months ago during Faith Month as he explained what President Thomas Jefferson meant in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists about a wall of separation between church and state. JOHNSON: “Jefferson clearly did not mean that metaphorical wall was to keep religion from influencing issues of civil government. To the contrary, it was meant to keep the federal government from impeding the religious practice of citizens.” House Speaker Johnson explained the mindset of America's founding fathers. JOHNSON: “The founders wanted to protect the church from an encroaching state, not the other way around. The majority of the founders, having personally witnessed the abuses of the Church of England, were determined to prevent the official establishment of any single national denomination or religion. Of course. We know that. “But here's the point. They very deliberately listed religious liberty, the free exercise of religion, as the first freedom protected in the Bill of Rights because they wanted, here's the key, they wanted everyone to freely live out their faith as that would ensure a robust presence of moral virtue in the public square and the free marketplace of ideas.” Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes.” Pro-life rescuer found guilty of defending pre-born babies Pro-life hero Paulette Harlow, age 75, was found guilty yesterday on charges of violating  the misguided Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for her involvement in a traditional pro-life rescue conducted at the infamous late-term abortion mill in Washington, D.C., the Washington Surgi-Clinic, in October 2020, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In a pro-life rescue, the pro-life activist participates in civil disobedience by peacefully blocking the doors of the abortion mill, recognizing that she might be the last hope to spare the baby in the womb from certain execution. Harlow's case was a bench trial, without a jury. The verdict was handed down by the pro-abortion Judge Colleen Collar-Kotelly, who has argued that the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery after the Civil War, may include a “right” to abortion. Because of her poor health, which includes debilitating diabetes, Hashimoto's disease, and severe back pain requiring the use of a wheelchair, Harlow was transported from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., in a special-needs van equipped with a mattress for her to lie down in when she appeared for trial in October. Her sentencing date is set for March 19, at 10:00am. Remarkably, Paulette Harlow was the picture of optimism. HARLOW: “Do not be discouraged. Don't be weary. We are on God's side, and He is doing so many things for us because we know that pro-life is what God wants. It's what what He has mandated for us. “Don't be afraid to get involved. Don't be afraid of counting the cost, like, ‘Oh, this might be hard to go out sidewalk counseling. It's cold.' Yeah, it's brutal out there, but it's necessary. And you will be doing exactly what the apostles did and what God is calling you to do and asking each and every one of us to do. “So, don't be afraid of it. You're not going to be going over alone. God will go with you. It's His work. These are His precious little children that are being killed, and we have to stop it.” In Galatians 6:9, the Apostle Paul says, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Man with advanced Parkinson's gets spinal implant enabling him to walk And finally, a Frenchman who received a new spinal implant has regained significant motor functions including the ability to walk unaided for miles after losing all such faculties to advanced-stage Parkinson's Disease, reports Good News Network. In the latter stages of the moto-neuron disorder, patients lose the ability to correctly use their muscles, and at some points movement can shut off entirely and they can crumple to the floor. Parkinson's disease is caused by the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons. 63-year-old Marc from Bordeaux, France was diagnosed with the condition 20 years ago, and it got so bad that someone had to hold his arms at all times in case his walking gait just froze. To coordinate the stimulator, Marc had to do a lot of walking around in a lab while the team monitored him with motion detection cameras and computer modeling. The patient wears a movement sensor on each leg and, when walking is initiated, the implant automatically switches on, and begins delivering pulses of stimulation to the spinal neurons. The aim is to correct abnormal signals that are sent from the brain, down the spine, to the legs in order to restore normal movement, reports The Guardian. His doctor explained the difference this new spinal implant has made for Marc. DOCTOR: “After a few months of rehabilitation, supported by the stimulation, Marc regained the ability to work independently outside. He does not experience the frequent falls that he experienced before. “This is only one participant and we don't know whether all the individuals with Parkinson's disease will respond to the therapy. But we are committed to test this intervention soon in six additional individuals with Parkinson's disease.” Watch an eye-opening 3-minute video that shows how successful this spinal implant has been for this advanced stage Parkinson's patient.

Lindsay Chervinsky is a presidential historian who has written what she says is the first book on the presidential cabinet. It's called "The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution." It was on November 26, 1791, that President George Washington convened his cabinet department secretaries: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph. It was the first cabinet meeting ever held. Among other things, we asked Lindsay Chervinsky why Washington waited a full two and a half years into his presidency to call everyone together.

Back in the good, old days in the heyday of Biblical scholarship (especially those German schools of scholarship) lots and lots of people were doing computer analyses on Paul’s epistles and said, Well, we don’t think Paul wrote all of his epistles. We think he may have written Galatians and a couple of others. Actually, there are fewer scholars these days who do that. They’re beginning to understand the fallacy of it. In fact, I knew it right from the get-go. When you understand that a man dictated these letters to a scribe, and the scribe was scribbling all this stuff down, it’s easy to see how his style might vary from letter to letter. Not only that, but when you have been writing as long as I’ve been writing, and you go back and read some of the junk that I wrote in previous years…Somebody, one of these years, if they ever cared enough, would run mine through a computer and say, No, no, no, no. Ron wrote that early stuff, but there was some better writer doing this later stuff.Now, you should know this about all that: scholars have to publish or perish, and they have to somehow establish their alleged objectivity. That means they can’t take the approach of a believer and get published in scholarly journals. They not only have to do their master’s theses and please a professor, their doctoral dissertations and impress a committee, they have to publish more than that in journals and in books. And they can’t just say the same thing over and over again. Remember, scholars are like city buses downtown: if you don’t like where this one is going, just wait—there’ll be another one along shortly going somewhere else. Fortunately for us, though, that system has worked remarkably well in some aspects, because if a scholar gets way out on a limb somewhere and says, Oh, no, Paul didn’t write Romans or didn’t write this or didn’t write that, another scholar will come along and hold his feet to the fire, and he can make his bones by showing how the other scholar was wrong. And over time they have done a credit-worthy job of putting the original documents into our hands in a language we can understand. And we ought to salute and say, Thank you, guys, but we should not elevate them or put them on a pedestal.Now, not long ago I was watching a biography of Thomas Jefferson, and the narration of the story was being done by a lineup of historians and scholars—one after another. It was actually seamlessly put together and was a pretty good job. But as I listened, I slowly came to wonder, Why am I listening to these fellows tell me what Jefferson thought when I could have Jefferson tell me himself. So I turned the thing off, got up on the internet, and ordered Jefferson’s autobiography. I was kind of shocked when I got it. It is easily the shortest autobiography I have ever read, and from a man I really would like to know a lot about—a truly remarkable man. So I could spend a lot of time telling you what scholars have said about Paul. But, hey, we have his letters right here in our hands. Just like we can get a hold of Jefferson’s letters, maybe we should go right to the source. At the Feast [in the sermon Romans 9–11], I thought I recalled that Paul had written Romans from Ephesus. As it happens, the best information we have suggests it was written from Corinth. Although I don’t think that’s certain at all. He may have written it on the boat, going from one place to another. I tend to be a little impatient with lectures on the background of New Testament books, but let’s take just a moment to acquaint ourselves with the likely time and place. Acts 18, verse 1…

Free Month of Coaching You Can Heal Your Life The Power of Intention An actor shared that they had turned down an opportunity because, ultimately, they felt that they didn't deserve it. And, I think that is an incredibly painful place, especially when she realized afterward what had been done and why they had done it. It brings up the question, how many times have I turned something down or walked away from a potential opportunity because I felt I didn't deserve it? And that programming that we have in our, as I put it, motherboard, in our belief system is so deep within us because that is what we operate out of. And yet, what I am trying to do in these weekly classes is to make you more conscious. And what do I mean by more conscious? What I mean is when you are conscious, you are operating out of what the Universe sees you as, who you truly are, as opposed to who you think you are or how you were taught to be. So there's who you really are, how the Universe sees you in all of your glory, in all of your greatness, in all of your incredible wisdom, and then there's who you think you are, or how you were taught to behave or to act or to think. And most of the time, that is two very different things. It's really about success and deserving success. You deserve success. And a wonderful affirmation that she talks about is every experience is a success. Now, why is every experience a success? Because I learn something for it. I either gain something in terms of a win, or if I don't is an experience for me to learn. "What does failure mean anyway? Does it mean that something did not turn out the way you wanted it to or the way you were hoping? The law of experience is always perfect. We out-picture our inner thoughts and beliefs Perfectly. You must have left us out a step or had an inner belief that told you that you did not deserve or you felt unworthy." What are you out-picturing, out-feeling, out-believing? Are you thinking positively and with the Universe's thoughts behind you and the Universe's strengths and Truths with a capital T behind you, or are you operating out of "the motherboard" because somebody told you only deserved "X" amount of success? Or you told yourself that because you are (fill in the blank), you only deserve Y. Your beliefs can be changed from someone who feels they don't deserve to someone who very much knows it is their right to. She says, "It is the same when I work with my computer..." If there is a mistake, it is always me, which I find very frustrating. It means that something has not been done to comply with the laws of the computer. And what it ultimately means is that there is something for me to learn. If you think of the Universe that same way, that is really powerful. Because there are laws of the Universe. My job is to get myself in line with them, but I can always ask for help in doing that. I can invite the Universe into making this podcast, guiding me to think more positively, guiding me to get on my own side so that I feel I am deserving of that success. And it takes attempts at this. I never did this perfectly. I have been doing this work for 28 years. And guess what? I've never done it perfectly, but I've always aimed in that direction. When a plane is on autopilot, It's only on course 10 percent of the time. The 90 percent it's trying to find its course. In my learning to be deserving of success, I've probably only been on course about 10 percent of the time, but ultimately, I have headed to a much more happy and successful life. Thomas Jefferson said, "The only time we ever really fail is our last attempt at trying." And the old saying that Louise Hay talks about here is, "If at first you don't succeed, try again." And it's true. It doesn't mean to beat yourself up and try this old same way again. It means to recognize your error and try another way until you learn to coordinate with the Universe. Adjust yourself to the station of the Universe if you think of a radio dial. Tune myself in to the station of deserving as opposed to the beating up of not. Which, again, is how I may have been programmed in my past. Louise Hay says, "I think it is our natural birthright to go from success to success all our life. If we are not doing that, either we are not in tune with our innate capabilities, because I so strongly believe. That we are smarter and more capable and greater and wiser than we think we are. That was today's lesson in the weekly coaching group. And if we don't believe that is true for us, We're not going to even recognize our little successes along the way, which is so important. I think another thing that I keep talking about in my weekly coaching group is this idea of being your own best friend, of having your own back. And that's when good stuff happens, and also when not-so-great stuff happens, but having your own back in all areas throughout the day. When we set standards that are much too high for where we are in this moment, standards we cannot possibly achieve right now, then we're going to always fail. But I'm a big one about teaching people how to baby step. Because with each little success, we get something that we cannot buy, and that is self-esteem, and that is confidence. Self-esteem and confidence are magnetic. They are magnetic. People are drawn to them. When a little child is learning to walk or talk, we encourage and praise them for every little improvement they make. Why are we not doing that with our life today? And the child will beam, and they will eagerly try to do better. Is this the way you encourage yourself when you are learning something new, or are you beating yourself up? Are you working for yourself instead of against yourself in your quest for success? In your quest for knowing that you deserve all the good and the abundance the Universe has to offer you. Or do you make it harder to learn by telling yourself you're a failure, or you're stupid, or you're not good enough in some way? And I love this because Louise Hay goes on to talk about actors and actresses. "Many actors and actresses feel they must be performance perfect when they arrive at the first rehearsal. I remind them that the purpose of rehearsal is to learn. Rehearsal is a period of time to make mistakes, to try new ways, and to learn. Only by practicing over and over do we learn the new and make it a natural part of us." When you watch an accomplished professional in any field, you are looking at innumerable hours of practice. And it's the same thing if you hear truth in my podcast. If stuff is resonating, understand I have spent countless hours, decades, almost three decades of my life devoted to practicing this, to practicing opening myself up to Consciousness. The Consciousness that I am a part of the Universe and it is a part of me. I deserve all the good and the abundance the Universe has to offer me. I am deserving of success. If you say that out loud if you write that down, see what other things follow up. It's taken me a long time to say I deserve success. And the answer that comes right after it is yes because it used to be, "No, you don't. Are you kidding me? You're such a loser." That is the kind of stuff that used to come up. Everything that I coach in the weekly coaching group and in these podcasts, everything that I coach, I have guinea pigged on myself. And I share it truly because if I can help you, if I can share with you one moment less of the agony that actress I spoke about at the beginning of this podcast felt when she realized she turned down something because she felt she didn't deserve it. But you know what? She learned something from it. She learned that she actually does. So that when that next opportunity comes up, she'll say, "Yes, of course, I'd love to." This is why we refuse to try things that are new. Because, on some level, they scare us. I encourage you to try new ways of thinking and new ways of acting that are in line with that belief that you deserve success. Affirmations to think of are, "divine intelligence gives me all the ideas that I need." "Everything I touch is a success." There is enough success to go around for everyone. It's not that if Jane gets success, I won't. It's not that if Bob gets success, I won't. There is enough success out there for all of us. You deserve success. "I am a magnet for success." "Golden opportunities are everywhere for me."

A Life Worth LivingMcKay returns this week to explore the theme of a "Life Worth Living," delving into how individuals can discover greater meaning, purpose, and value in their lives through reflection and conscious choices. Spotlighting remarkable stories of individuals who made substantial contributions to the world and their resulting legacies, our host encourages listeners to take a moment to assess their own lives, challenging them to consider the worth they are generating and how they can enhance the meaningfulness of their existence.The narratives he shares of such luminaries as Alfred Nobel, Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, and Narges Mohammadi, offer invaluable lessons regarding this concept of living a life worth living. Drawing parallels with halftime in sports, Mckay goes on to encourage listeners to pause and analyze their own lives, akin to how sports teams review their performance and adjust their strategies. He also addresses the paradox in Thomas Jefferson's life, emphasizing the role of choice in interpreting and acting upon shared inspirations, and shares details about Yale's Life Worth Living Program. Join McKay here today for this inspirational episode which serves as a reminder that personal reflection, inspiration, and conscious choices can lead to transformative journeys, impacting not only one's own life but also leaving a lasting imprint on the world.Episode Highlights:Alfred Nobel's legacyHalftime reflectionCatalyn Carico and Drew Weissman's researchNarges Mohammadi's activismYale's Life Worth Living ProgramInspiration and opportunityThomas Jefferson's paradoxQuotes:"We all have opportunities that come our way. God sends us inspiration.""When David looked at [Goliath], he saw a target too big to miss.""The more time spent on the new game plan, the better we'll be learning to create worth in our life is what we're meant to do.""A good coach knows there's a second half to be played and it's not won or lost on a single play. So he keeps his head in the game and prepares for the next half.""Let the calls coming to you and the opportunities before you inspire you to act.""You can choose a life of great worth. God is behind you and before you, and He will help you."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

The topic of this episode is, “Delegates to the House of Representatives: who are they and what do they do?”My guest is Elliot Mamet. He is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Previously, he served as an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow. Elliot holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Duke University.Also important to note is that Dr. Mamet spent time working in the office of Washington, D.C. delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton. All of which makes him a great person to ask the question, "Delegates to the House of Representatives: who are they and what do they do?"Kevin Kosar:Welcome to Understanding Congress, a podcast about the first branch of government. Congress is a notoriously complex institution and few Americans think well of it, but Congress is essential to our republic. It's a place where our pluralistic society is supposed to work out its differences and come to agreement about what our laws should be, and that is why we are here to discuss our national legislature and to think about ways to upgrade it so it can better serve our nation. I'm your host, Kevin Kosar, and I'm a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank in Washington D.C.Welcome to the podcast.Elliot Mamet:Thank you, Kevin. It's great to be here.Kevin Kosar:Let's start with a really simple question. Listeners are all too familiar with the fact that the House typically has 435 members. But they also have delegates. How many delegates are there to the House of Representatives?Elliot Mamet:Currently, there are five delegates to the House of Representatives. They serve from Washington, D.C., Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. There's also a Resident Commissioner—a non-voting member—from Puerto Rico. So there're six total non-voting members in the House. Kevin Kosar:Representatives in the House come from districts these days. Where and who do these delegates and non-voting members represent? And is represent even the correct term for what their role is?Elliot Mamet:The non-voting members of Congress represent Americans who live outside the several states. Throughout their entire history, they've represented people who don't live in states—whether that's in the federal enclave of the District of Columbia or in territories either on the path to statehood or not on the path to statehood. Today, they represent 4 million Americans. Of that group, 3.5 million live in the United States territories—those people are 98% racial and ethnic minorities—and the remainder are the residents of the District of Columbia who are majority black or Hispanic. So the delegates represent overwhelmingly non-white constituents, and they represent a group of Americans who lack the same citizen rights and lack political equality to those people living in the several states.Kevin Kosar:Now, on this program, there's been a number of episodes where I and a guest have talked about earlier Congresses—the Congresses at the founding, early 20th century, etc.—and non-voting representatives just didn't come up in the conversation. Are they a recent development, or have they always been with us?Elliot Mamet:Great question. The non-voting representative has been a feature since the earliest Congresses. The institution dates back at least to 1784 when a committee chaired by Thomas Jefferson suggested that territories prior to becoming a state would be able to send a delegate to Congress with the

If you're a fan of the Presidencies of the United States podcast, you're familiar with the special series host Jerry Landry does called Seat At The Table, in which he and a special guest cover the life of a Cabinet secretary. Most of whom you've never heard of. Jerry does this because no president accomplishes anything alone. The President of the United States is at the top, but he needs someone to run foreign policy, handle the money, and keep an eye on the army as well as all the ships at sea. This was never more true than in the early days of the American Republic, before presidents figured out how things worked and relied on these early Cabinet secretaries to define the departments of the Executive Branch and figure out how they were supposed to work, and what they were supposed to be doing. All the while dealing with things like economic calamities and wars, both declared and undeclared. We know about some of these early Cabinet secretaries, like Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, who went on to be President themselves, and Alexander Hamilton, because of a certain Broadway play. But Jerry digs into the lesser-known ones, in many cases those who have never really been studied by historians. Why? Because without them, America would have been in trouble. Jerry seems to like talking about Navy Secretaries with me, despite my penchant for seasickness and me having no idea about how boats work. This is my second time as a guest on Seat at the Table, and it is our second Secretary of the Navy—William Jones, who served during the War of 1812. Jerry also likes to keep the identity of the Cabinet member a secret from his guest, which adds to the suspense, but doesn't make me look in the least bit knowledgeable. So I have to make things up as I go. This is something you long-time listeners of History's Trainwrecks may be acquainted with. Take a listen to the story of one of the early Navy Secretaries and why they mattered so much to the early American Republic.Check out the Presidencies of the United States Podcast - https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/And The Valley Forge Project - https://www.valleyforgeproject.org/ Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

On Monday, Oct. 30, President Biden released a sweeping executive order that addresses many risks of artificial intelligence. Tom Wheeler, former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, shares his insights on the order with Tristan and Aza and discusses what's next in the push toward AI regulation. Clarification: When quoting Thomas Jefferson, Aza incorrectly says “regime” instead of “regimen.” The correct quote is: “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. And as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered, and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regime of their barbarous ancestors.” RECOMMENDED MEDIA The AI Executive OrderPresident Biden's Executive Order on the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AIUK AI Safety SummitThe summit brings together international governments, leading AI companies, civil society groups, and experts in research to consider the risks of AI and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated actionaitreaty.orgAn open letter calling for an international AI treatyTechlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded Age?Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “a rock-solid plan for controlling the tech giants,” readers will be energized by Tom Wheeler's vision of digital governance RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESInside the First AI Insight Forum in WashingtonDigital Democracy is Within Reach with Audrey TangThe AI DilemmaYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

Today is Foundations of Freedom Thursday, which means we'll take the time to answer listener questions on the air- If the Code of Hammurabi was not discovered until the 1900‘s why is there an image of him in the congressional chamber? Why do cities and coastal regions typically vote liberal and country areas vote conservative?Prepare for an intriguing journey back in time to 1750 BC, as we explore Hammurabi's code and answer the question, "Did it have any influence on early American law?" We'll shine a spotlight on the 23 lawgivers honored in the Capitol, especially the revered position of Moses. Amidst this exploration, we'll delve into the charged discussion surrounding the 1980s court decisions to remove religious elements from public spaces, including the Ten Commandments.Imagine if the sentiments of the Founding Fathers about city-dwellers versus rural-dwellers could help decode current voting patterns. Through a close examination of intriguing quotes from our nation's forefathers, we'll attempt to decode this exact mystery. Our journey will take us through intense perspectives about city life from Benjamin Rush, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Adding an extra layer to the discourse, we'll also discuss the biblical story of the Tower of Babel and how it is relevant to the idea that attitudes found in the city are detrimental to society as a whole.We'll also take you through the quiet lanes of rural life, exploring its potential benefits, particularly for children and families. Unravel the intricate thoughts of the Founding Fathers regarding urban and rural dwellers, and join us in discussing the advantages of real hard work. Buckle up for an enlightening exploration of historical law and the ongoing urban versus rural debate, all through the insightful lens of the Founding Fathers.Support the show

In this interview with Darren Doane, Gary discusses the historical conditions and motivations behind The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States. Interestingly, the political climate in 1864 was not much different from our own. Christians and non-Christians alike need to be reminded of the impact of God's Word and the Church on society and culture in every generation.

The Culture Wars: How Can We Lower the Temperature? The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. I'm your host, and as we stand on the precipice of America's 250th anniversary, the air is thick with the sparks of cultural contention. But today, we ask a pivotal question: "The Culture Wars: How Can We Lower the Temperature?" In this episode, we're diving into the undercurrents of America's grand narrative with none other than Clay Jenkinson, a public humanities scholar who wields the past not as a weapon, but as a lantern in the murky debates of the present.  Clay Jenkinson will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates Interview Series coming up.  Please check out our website and show notes today for more details.  The title of Clay Jenkinson's presentation via Zoom is The Culture Wars: How Can We Lower the Temperature?" Clay Jenkinson's presentation, rich with the wisdom of a seasoned historian, invites us to consider the full spectrum of America's journey — the valor and the vices, the triumphs, and the tribulations. As statues fall and the legacies of figures like Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson face the tides of modern scrutiny, Jenkinson offers a voice of moderation. He beckons us away from the extremes of glorification and vilification to a place where we can engage with our history — all of it — with honesty and grace. He challenges us to see the removal of a statue not as an erasure, but as a conversation, to view the controversies not as battles, but as the growing pains of a democracy still striving towards its ideals. So, as we prepare to mark a milestone in our nation's history, let us approach the conversation with both the reverence and the critical eye it deserves. Let's explore the paths to cool the fires of division and fan the flames of understanding. Stay tuned as we navigate the heated corridors of America's past and present, seeking the cool waters of consensus and the fertile ground of mutual respect. This is The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, and I'm ready to embark on this journey with you. Let the conversation begin. My thanks to Smithsonian Associate Clay Jenkinson.  Clay Jenkinson will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates Interview Series coming up.  Please check out our website and show notes today for more details.  And my thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to you my wonderful audience here on radio and podcast.  Please be well.
