Job 1:18-2218 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”Job's Response to Unspeakable and Instant Loss20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:“Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Starting with nothing but a basic laptop purchased from lawn-mowing money, he transformed his passion for Minecraft into a media empire spanning multiple channels with millions of subscribers.What makes Nathan's approach so compelling is his refreshing emphasis on strategic focus. While many creators rush to diversify across multiple platforms and channels, he spent six years perfecting a single channel before expanding. "If you start two YouTube channels with similar videos and similar purposes, what's the point?" he explains. This disciplined approach paid extraordinary dividends – his second channel reached a million subscribers in under 20 days, while his third channel now stands as his most successful with videos reaching tens of millions of views.The conversation delves into the operational details behind Unspeakable's content machine, from their meticulous brainstorming process to Nathan's "three element formula" for thumbnail design. With teams dedicated to different aspects of production across multiple filming locations, their approach resembles a professional studio more than the typical creator setup. Yet Nathan maintains that success isn't about expensive equipment or overproduced content – it's about understanding what quality means to your specific audience and delivering ideas that genuinely excite them.Perhaps most valuable for aspiring creators is Nathan's practical advice on starting with limited resources. "Think of a way that you can create a hundred videos for $0," he challenges, pointing out opportunities to leverage free tools and existing skills. His blueprint for success emphasizes building brick by brick, reinvesting revenue into gradual improvements rather than expecting overnight results. For anyone looking to transform their creative passion into a sustainable career, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable strategy from someone who's mastered the craft.Ready to apply these insights to your own content journey?

I don't want to use the example of Nagasaki, that was essentially the same thing. That ended that war, this ended this war."[7]He was bragging. Bragging about nuclear destruction. Like a fucking business deal."That hit ended the war," he said. Chest puffed out. Proud as hell.This is what we've come to. The President casually referencing the incineration of 200,000 humans… as a model for current policy.At an international summit.On camera.With full makeup.[music 8 bars, freedom]You know social media… if you take a sec to hit subscribe, like, share? A lot more people will check it out. Just one click… and you do a lotta good.[music, freedom]The Comedy ProblemHow are we supposed to respond? Where's the outrage?In other words, where are the comedians? Most Gen Z-ers and younger get their news from late night comedy shows.[8]Colbert will try out a "new" joke tonight. Stewart will do his smirk. They'll treat this like another Trump gaffe they can mine for laughs.[9]But it's not funny anymore.Once, these guys were subversive... were daring. But...Haven't they become nauseatingly... tone dead?You can't satirize someone who's already become a parody of human decency. Someone the scriptures of all major religions would label simply… evil?Bragging about mass murder... what the fuck is left to mock?Comedy works when there's a shared understanding of normal. When people have shame. When some lines… you just don't cross.But Trump crossed the biggest. With a smile. Not one objection from a room full of reporters. Just brief sneers from a TV full of comedians.So, Canary-in-the-coal-mine time….When the Comedy stops being funny…We're in deep shit. Especially anyone different. Like, say… autistics…[music]Why This MattersThis isn't about politics. Left or right.This is about what kind of country we are.For 80 years, American presidents understood that Hiroshima was different. Special. Unspeakable.[10]They might defend it…quickly, quietly. Say, “It saved lives.” Then quickly, move on.They understood Power comes with burdens… responsibility, accountability, humanity. That killing 200,000 people isn't something you do a victory spike over.Trump doesn't understand that weight.Or worse... he doesn't care.Ya, know, worse yet? Maybe he does care. About the bullying power that his brutish remarks burn into the world's memory.[music]Act 2: When Institutions FailWith troops still in the California streets, missiles in Mid-Eastern skies… and a Bully-in-Chief in the pulpit…Comedy… and art… fall silent.Corporate News? Well it talks… too much. But it just isn't saying anything. They don't cover reality anymore. They've been cowed into repeating Administration lies… through shell-shocked faces.When the President of the United States casually references nuclear genocide... and we fear he might just use them sometime …within the next two weeks…like all of his jokes…that become threats…that become promises kept to his base…Our cultural tools break down.We don't have frameworks for this.We have jokes for corrupt politicians. For liars. For cheaters. That subversive humor can shed a light into Democratic or Republican darkness. Through a shared giggle.But jokes about dropping nukes?They're just distractions. Like… witty comebacks, really killer memes, and the occasional truly thoughtful opinion piece in the New York Times.[music]What We're Really FacingThis is what authoritarianism starts like.[11] Not jackboots and death squads.Just a man who thinks mass murder… is something to celebrate. A man who doesn't understand why some folks might find that disturbing.The scariest part? He said this at NATO. To our allies.Heard round the world. By any country that remembers World War II. What nuclear weapons actually do.Like say, Japan.[music]Are the Democrats' the Alternative?The political opposition? They're not exactly rising to the moment. What the fuck are Democrats doing?[12]Running the same playbook they've used since Hillary lost."We're the adults in the room.""At least we're not Trump. Vote for us because we're not insane.""You just wait for the midterms… oh, boy. We really got him now."We need more than just "At least, we're not that guy."You need to explain why this is fucking terrifying.Wait… Forget all that.Say as little as absolutely necessary.Just fucking act already.[music]Where We Are NowSo here we are. And we're all supposed to pretend this is normal.It's not normal.It's not funny.And it's not sustainable. Maybe not survivable.[music]The TruthTrump just told the world that he thinks nuclear destruction is a deal-making path… worth aspiring to. :Proudly.That's not politics. That's not even partisanship.That's a fundamental break with human decency.And if we can't say that out loud... if we can't admit how fucked up this is...We're already lost.[music AutisticAF Out Loud theme]OutroThis has been Trigger Warnings: Fiercely Divergent News.

No subsequent president has publicly celebrated or bragged about the atomic bombings until Trump's 2025 remarks.https://www.nps.gov/articles/trumanatomicbomb.htm[3]: Death toll estimates for the atomic bombings vary significantly. The Manhattan Engineer District initially estimated 105,000 total deaths (66,000 in Hiroshima, 39,000 in Nagasaki) by end of 1945. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons estimates 140,000 in Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki by end of 1945. Methodological challenges include destroyed records, uncertain pre-bombing populations, and radiation-related deaths over time.https://www.atomicarchive.com/resources/documents/med/med_chp10.html[4]: Eisenhower expressed his "grave misgivings" about the atomic bombing in his memoir, stating he believed "Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary." He also noted his concern that the U.S. "should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives."https://www.aei.org/op-eds/japan-was-already-defeated-the-case-against-the-nuclear-bomb-and-for-basic-morality/Critics note this was a post-war reflection written nearly two decades later, not a contemporaneous military assessment.[5]: Obama visited Hiroshima in May 2016, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so. He spoke of the "silent cry" of victims and called for nuclear disarmament while carefully avoiding any apology, stating: "We stand here in the middle of this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell... we listen to a silent cry".https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/obama-at-hiroshima-death-fell-from-the-sky-05-27-2016-103848173[6]: Reagan's famous statement "A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought" was delivered in his 1984 State of the Union address, reflecting his commitment to nuclear deterrence while pursuing arms reduction with the Soviet Union.[7]: Trump's exact words at the NATO summit on June 25, 2025: "I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima. I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing that ended that war, this ended this war"[4].https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hit-ended-war-trump-likens-iran-strikes-hiroshima-bombinghttps://cbs4local.com/news/nation-world/president-donald-trump-compares-iran-strikes-to-hiroshima-bombing-nagasaki-claims-successful-end-to-conflict-nato-summit-netherlands-secretary-general-mark-rutte-operation-midnight-hammerThis represents the first time a U.S. president has compared current military actions to the atomic bombings in a celebratory manner.[8]: Research indicates late-night political comedy shows serve as significant news sources, particularly for younger demographics. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" averaged 8.7% viewership share in 2024, reaching approximately 281,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic nightly[15][16].https://screenrant.com/stephen-colbert-ratings-late-show-2024-explained/https://screenrant.com/stephen-colbert-ratings-late-show-2024-explained/ Studies suggest these programs have the most impact on politically inattentive audiences who learn about politics inadvertently through satirical content.[9]: Following Trump's Iran strikes, Colbert addressed the actions through his typical comedic framework, with segments like "Trump's Weird Iran War Speech" and jokes about intelligence reports contradicting Trump's claims of "obliteration." Colbert quipped "Oops-a-nuke-y" regarding reports that Iran's nuclear capabilities remained largely intact.https://www.tvinsider.com/1199026/stephen-colbert-trump-f-bomb-rant-monologue-video/[10]: The concept of a "nuclear taboo"—an international norm against the use of nuclear weapons—has been maintained since 1945. Political scientist Nina Tannenwald defines this as "a de facto prohibition against the first use of nuclear weapons" that creates a shared understanding of the illegitimacy and immorality of nuclear weapons use[18].https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_tabooTrump's comparison breaks this longstanding presidential restraint.[11]: Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt identify four markers of authoritarian risk: rejecting democratic rules, denying opponent legitimacy, tolerating violence, and curtailing civil liberties. They argue Trump is the first U.S. politician since the Civil War to meet all four criteria19.https://www.newsweek.com/harvard-political-science-professor-donald-trump-authoritarian-how-democracy-778425Constitutional scholar Elaine Scarry argues nuclear weapons create "thermonuclear monarchy" by concentrating unprecedented destructive power in executive hands, fundamentally undermining democratic governance.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/thermonuclear-monarchy-elaine-scarry/1111087819https://futureoflife.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Elaine_Scarry_MIT_April2.pdf[12]: Democratic responses to Trump's Iran strikes showed internal divisions. House No. 2 Democrat Katherine Clark called the strikes "unauthorized & unconstitutional," while Senator Chris van Hollen argued they violated congressional war powers. However, critics note Democratic presidents have similarly bypassed Congress for military actions, weakening their constitutional arguments[22][23].https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/us-bombs-iran-attacks-trump-constitution-rcna214580https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/politics/trump-iran-legal-constitutional-article-1-article-2 This is a public episode.

At the time, I was 47 and, strangely, my life was a lot like it had been at 27, though of course I was older and the rent was higher. The essay also explores, among other things, the concept of the “situational setpoint,” which is the state of life I seem to find myself in no matter how long I spend trying to live a different kind of life.   About The Catastrophe Hour "One of our most important essayists . . .

Trigger Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of child sexual abuse, rape, trauma, and the failures of the justice system.In this powerful and deeply affecting conversation, Neige Sinno speaks with Adam Biles about her landmark book Sad Tiger, recently published in English in a luminous translation by Natasha Lehrer. A searing literary interrogation of the years of abuse Sinno suffered at the hands of her stepfather, Sad Tiger explores the limits of testimony, the insufficiencies of language, and the deep societal denial that silences victims. Sinno reflects on the ethics and formal challenges of writing about trauma, the intellectual and emotional paradoxes of bearing witness, and how literary form can both expose and protect. The conversation touches on Nabokov's Lolita, the myth of the “monster,” and how society colludes in refusing to see evil when it wears a familiar face. Courageous, lucid, and unflinching, Sinno's presence and insights make this an unforgettable episode.Buy Sad Tiger: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/sad-tigerNeige Sinno is a French writer who has studied American literature in the United States and Mexico, and worked as a translator and literature professor.

  Echos of a Lost America by Monika Wiesak - Find here. America's Last President by Monika Wiesak - Find here. JFK & The Unspeakable - Find here. Len gives a heartfelt introduction to Monika, expressing his respect for Monika's efforts publishing quality research. During the 1st book Monika wrote on JFK, she was heavily inspired to expose the truth of JFK's assassination. JFK was a leader who wanted to help create a better world for all, a fair and just world. Where is his justice? Why did society allow the assassination lies to continue? People are living in an illusion of unchallenged lies. How could people go along with the Magic Bullet Theory? It's such an obvious lie to help cover up the assassination. Monika didn't enjoy writing her latest book, as much as the first, it was drafted because Monika felt like it was her duty. JFK was a very stoic man, who felt you needed to persevere and do the right thing, no matter the difficulty. With youth & young adults in mind, Monika wanted to provide an honest resource for new assassination researchers. Monika tries to condense 60 years of history into one book. JFK Jr.'s plane crash was something Monika had to investigate herself so she could write about the subject. If JFK Jr. was assassinated then that limits the suspect list, indicating another level of power. Was it an assassination? In the 80's and 90's, Monika had no idea that JFK had a brother who had been assassinated while running for President. It wasn't until sometime in the 2000's that she learned about RFK's assassination. Her mind was blow! The odds of two brothers running for President being assassinated was a clear indication to Monika there was a conspiracy. In Chapter 1, Monika outlines the people who profited from JFK's murder. It certainly wasn’t Lee Harvey Oswald. Len was struck by Monika's keen observation that the "CIA itself was a tool created by Wall Street". Monika points out, during CoVid, the Democrats were obviously being run by Big Pharma, behaving in a fascist manner. Both Democrats & Republicans serve the interests of big corporations who are subservient to special interests. Fascism is the merger of state and corporate power. We are still living today with the consequences of JFK's assassination. Since JFK's murder, society has gone down hill. Monika feels JFK's America was the best of what America could be or aim for. If JFK hadn't been assassinated, would RFK or JFK Jr. been allowed to live? Imagine if they hadn't died prematurely. All of these long term consequences that we live with, are echoes of JFK's assassination. Monika and Len wonder where have our leaders gone? Our current "leaders" are self serving, unqualified and corrupt. Len reflects that when Elon Musk first headed the DOGE, it was to end the wasteful slush funds that are draining America. Unbelievably, Trump is now doubling up on funding designated for the Pentagon. Why would he feel the need to do that? Until we address the lies of JFK's assassination, Monika can't see how society will ever get back to a unified America. Len is REALLY recommending Monika's latest book, it's comparable to JFK & The Unspeakable by Jim Douglass. In Chapter 2, The Alleged Assassin, Len reflects on how it's obvious that Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t shoot JFK. Monika covers Lee's early years right up until he leaves for New Orleans on April 24th, 1963. Even now, there has been resistance against Trump releasing the JFK Assassination Files. Not all JFK files have been released. There is resistance to release information on George Joannides and other conspirators. Chapter 3 is the lead up to the crime, the background details and timeline of Jack arriving in Texas. James Angleton was using Lee in the Soviet Union, reading his mail and having him under observation. On April 24th, 1963 Dallas newspapers announced JFK was coming to Dallas in t...

We love sharing with people the places we've been, things we've done, stuff we've accomplished. There are things in this world that have brought us joy that we want to share with others. But when we focus on sharing with everyone what we have done or accomplished, it can turn into a competition as to who has done or seen the most. And truth be told, all these things can only bring joy for so long. If we think things we have done have brought us joy, there is something that was done for us that brought us a greater joy than anything we've done or experienced. Unspeakable joy.

But when we focus on sharing with everyone what we have done or accomplished, it can turn into a competition as to who has done or seen the most. And truth be told, all these things can only bring joy for so long. If we think things we have done have brought us joy, there is something that was done for us that brought us a greater joy than anything we've done or experienced. Unspeakable joy. And when we know this joy, believe it, celebrate it, it changes everything.Support the show
