Episode 180 of Kliq This bounces between old school habits and modern chaos, with Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kicking things off on a very specific hill: paper tax documents, physical records, and why trusting everything to "the cloud" feels like inviting trouble. From there it turns into a surprisingly personal holiday conversation, with Kevin talking about why Christmas hits differently for him, and Sean pitching a very "classic TV special" solution that Kevin immediately wants no part of. It is funny, but it is also real in the way this show is at its best. Then the curtain pulls back on Kevin's at home setup and it becomes its own kind of comedy. Spotty cell reception, an ocean view bathroom routine, DirecTV, DVR logic, and a mindset that basically says if you can avoid leaving the house, you should. It is the most Kevin Nash segment possible. The back half goes everywhere in the best way. NFL misery, wrestling lore, commentary talk, and the kind of audience driven questions that send the conversation into unexpected lanes, including a game that absolutely sounds like it should not work on a wrestling podcast and somehow does. If you are in the 11SOFT Club, this one feels like hanging out in the room for the whole ride.

I veckans avsnitt gör vi en kärleksfullt skeptisk resa genom Jimmy Carters presidentskap. Outsidern som lovade att städa upp efter Watergate. Den sympatiske nykomlingen som verkade stå för något nytt – och som ändå hade förvånansvärt svårt att få saker gjorda när det väl gällde.Vi berättar Carters historia genom fyra udda ögonblick. Den där Playboy-intervjun som plötsligt gjorde religion och sex till valfrågor. Promenaden till installationen, när han bokstavligen kliver ut ur limousinen för att bli folkets president. Det allvarsamma “Crisis of Confidence”-talet mitt i 70-talets ekonomiska kaos. Och så förstås historien om “mördarkaninen” – när ett till synes harmlöst fiskeminne förvandlas till politisk symbol.Det blir ett avsnitt om höga ambitioner, dålig tajming och ett presidentskap som gick fel – men också om en anständig människa i ett jobb som sällan belönar just det.Läslista:Bird, Kai, The Outlier: The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter, Crown, New York, 2021.Henriksson, Karin, USA:s alla presidenter, Lind & Co, Stockholm, 2024.Kruse, Kevin Michael, Fault Lines: A History of the United States since 1974, 1st edn, W.

Hollywood legend Robert Redford didn't just make movies. He also spoke at the National Press Club. Where he talked about his movies. Like "All the President's Men." "We had some people within the Post that were unflagging in their cooperation, like Bob Woodward. He was -- you know he may have had something to gain in it, but he was incredibly cooperative, even against the heat of his own paper. And it was through Bob and Carl -- their notes, we were able to construct a lot of the screenplay from because I wasn't able to get enough information from the original screenplay. So, we went back with them and just took all their notes and constructed a lot of the dramatic scenes from their notes." That was Robert Redford at the National Press Club in September 1994. The actor's recent death had many media and political junkies remembering that movie about the Washington Post and Watergate. And likely a few questions came to mind: • What did Bob Woodward and his colleagues say "All the President's Men" got right - and what did the movie get wrong? • What else did Robert Redford himself say about the Washington Post, Bob Woodward — and his Academy Award-winning movie? • And a question few Americans ever have had the chance to consider: What did Bob Woodward think of Robert Redford playing him?

In this episode, you're invited to “listen in” on a real phone call between myself and one of my besties, Holly — two friends talking food, flavor, and mindful living like no one's recording.Holly drops her lentil salad recipe on me — even after my dramatic, pregnant,  pause and my lifelong underwhelm for lentils. Yet somehow she wins me over with a version so good it practically has its own alibi.I also share my mushroom soup — my hearty, deeply flavored, soul-warming mushroom soup. And let me just say this: can we talk about the word umami for a second? When did that take over the world? What the F is “umami,” anyway? My soup is simply delicious with a gorgeous flavor profile… no trending buzzword required. (And because my on-the-phone instructions got a little… fuzzy, the full how-to video is here: https://youtu.be/NMr_vRd8FbY?si=8ZV1aNpQk4tRU6xi Later, we wander into a compare-and-contrast between Mediterranean brightness and the so-called “Asian-leaning umami” thing (yes, I'm rolling my eyes), swap low-waste kitchen tricks, and even uncover ideas for that leftover buttermilk sitting in your fridge.In this episode you'll hear about: • choosing small black lentils for structure • cooking lentils al dente + dressing them warm • building a creamy white balsamic vinaigrette • finishing with goat cheese + fresh mint • dry-searing mushrooms for deep, savory flavor • using both sliced + minced mushrooms for body • seasoning with miso, thyme, marsala + paprika • when to add crème fraîche (or keep it dairy-free) • simple, low-waste, sustainable kitchen swaps • Mediterranean brightness vs. the “umami” hypeMINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

As global powers double down on militarism and defense, Daniel Zoughbie argues that the most transformative force in the Middle East has always come from citizen diplomacy. A complex-systems scientist and diplomatic historian, Zoughbie joins Mark Labberton to explore how twelve U.S. presidents have "kicked the hornet's nest" of the modern Middle East. Drawing on his work in global health and his new book Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump, Zoughbie contrasts the view from refugee camps and microclinic networks with the view from the Oval Office, arguing that American security rests on a three-legged stool of defense, diplomacy, and development. He explains why Gerald Ford stands out as the lone president who truly leveraged diplomacy, how the Marshall Plan model of enlightened self-interest can guide policy now, and why nationalism, not mere economics, lies at the heart of Gaza's future. Throughout, he presses listeners toward "citizen diplomacy" that resists pride, militarism, and fatalism. Episode Highlights "We've constantly ignored diplomacy." " You don't have to be enemies with people to get them to do what is in their own self-interest." "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza. You can build the Four Seasons in Gaza and it's not going to work. You're just going to have another war until you address that core issue of nationalism." "These three Ds defense diplomacy development are the three legged stool of American security and we know how important diplomacy and development are." "From Truman to Trump, only one president, and that is Gerald Ford, surprisingly the only unelected president, gets this right." "Pride—national pride, the pride of any one individual—is toxic. It's toxic to the individual. It's toxic to the nation. It's toxic to the world." "Foreign policymaking is not just something for secretaries of state and those in power. All of us in a democracy have a role to play."

Zoughbie is a complex-systems scientist, historian, and expert on presidential decision-making. He is associate project scientist at UC Berkeley's Institute of International Studies, a faculty affiliate of the UCSF/UCB Center for Global Health Delivery, Diplomacy, and Economics, and principal investigator of the Middle East and North Africa Diplomacy, Development, and Defense Initiative. He is the author of Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump and of Indecision Points: George W. Bush and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. His award-winning research has appeared in journals such as PLOS Medicine, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Social Science and Medicine. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UC Berkeley, he studied at Oxford on a Marshall Scholarship and completed his doctorate there as a Weidenfeld Scholar. Show Notes Middle East Background and Microclinic Origins Daniel Zoughbie recalls visiting the Middle East as a child—"frankly horrified" by what he saw UC Berkeley protests over the Iraq War and post-9/11 U.S. policy in the region Metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes as an overlooked "greatest killer in the region." Neighbors in the West Bank sharing food, medicine, and blood-pressure cuffs—leads to the "micro clinic" concept Good health behaviors, like bad ones and even violence, can be contagious through social networks Social Networks, Anthropology, and Security Social anthropology, political science, and international relations Medical problems as simultaneously biological and sociological problems Understanding Middle East security demands attention to decisions "at the very bottom" as well as "the view from above" October 7 and 9/11 illustrate how small groups of people can "change the world with their decisions." Complex Systems and Foreign Policy Complexity is always increasing, and diplomacy and development exist to slow it down. Definition of "complex system": as one where many inputs produce outcomes that cannot be reduced to single causes. "We almost have a new law here, which is that complexity is always increasing in the universe. And the role of diplomacy and development, as I see it in international relations, is to slow things down. It's to stop complexity from advancing so that people have time to cool their tempers and to solve major security crises." Type 2 diabetes as a model for thinking about how city planning, economics, relationships, and habits interact He applies that lens to international relations: nations, leaders, institutions, and history form a "cascade of complexity." From Refugee Camps to Presidential Palaces George Shultz and Tony Blair: decision-makers as "real human beings," not abstractions Theological and ideological forces—such as certain apocalyptic readings of scripture—that shape U.S. foreign policy Gnosticism and eschatology within American right-wing Christianity Painstaking global health work on the ground and sweeping decisions made in Washington, Brussels, or New York Twelve Presidents and One Exception Kicking the Hornet's Nest: analysis of twelve presidents from Truman to Trump through the lens of Middle East decision-making Core claim: Only Gerald Ford truly rebalanced the three Ds of defense, diplomacy, and development. U.S. policy in the Levant: heavy reliance on militarism, coups, and covert actions while underinvesting in diplomacy and development Claim: "Far better alternatives were on the table" for every administration, yet consistently passed over. Gerald Ford, Kissinger, and the Path to Peace Daniel contends that the 1967 and 1973 wars were both preventable and nearly became global nuclear catastrophes. Ford inherits the presidency amid Watergate and national division, but keeps Henry Kissinger at State. Ford presses Israel and Egypt toward serious negotiations, empowering Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy and personal ties. A sharply worded letter threatening to "reconsider" the U.S.–Israel relationship Ford's diplomacy and the development of Camp David and the enduring Egypt–Israel peace based on "land for peace." Pride, Personality, and Presidential Failure Did Ford's temperament keep him from making himself the center of the story? In contrast, many presidents and other leaders write themselves "thickly" into the narrative of the conflict. Pride—personal and national—as a toxic force that repeatedly undermines U.S. policy The Iraq War and democracy-promotion agenda and the self-defeating nature of moralistic, militarized crusades Marshall Plan and Enlightened Self-Interest George Marshall and harsh punishment after World War I helped produce Nazi Germany The Marshall Plan models an "enlightened way of viewing the American self-interest": rebuilding Europe and Japan to secure U.S. security. He contrasts that with the neglect of the Levant, where aid and institution-building never matched military activism. Marshall's genius lies in locating the intersection between others' deepest needs and American capabilities. Militarism, Iran, and Nuclear Risk Recent U.S.–Israel–Iran confrontation as an "extremely dangerous moment"—with 60 percent enriched uranium unaccounted for JCPOA as an imperfect but effective diplomatic achievement, but dismantled in favor of militarism Claim: Bombing Iran scattered nuclear material and increased complexity rather than reducing the threat. He warns that one nuclear device could be delivered by low-tech means—a boat or helicopter—endangering civilians and U.S. forces in the Gulf. The only realistic path forward: renewed multilateral diplomacy between U.S., Israel, Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, and regional actors Ethical Realism and Max Weber "Ethical realism"—Max Weber's distinction between the ethic of the gospel and the ethic of responsibility Statespeople bear responsibility for using force, yet the greatest can still say "here I stand and I can do no other." Claim: True leadership seeks a higher ethic where national interest aligns with genuine concern for others. Gaza, Nationalism, and Two States Welcoming the end of active war between Israel and Hamas and critiquing reconstruction plans that ignore politics Conflict is fundamentally nationalist: a struggle for self-determination by both Jewish and Palestinian peoples Claim: Economic development without a credible political horizon will not prevent "another October 7th and another terrible war." In his view, only partition of mandatory Palestine into two states can meet legitimate self-determination claims. For example, "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza… and it's not going to work" without addressing nationalism. Citizen Diplomacy and a Better Way Foreign policy is not only the work of secretaries of state; democratic citizens have responsibilities. American University of Beirut and the Gaza Baptist Hospital as fruits of citizen diplomacy Claim: Educational and medical institutions can change lives more profoundly and durably than military campaigns. Redirecting resources from bombs to universities and hospitals to reduce the need for future military interventions An invitation to citizen diplomacy: informed voting, sustained attention, and creative engagement for a more just peace Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.  

By Adam Turteltaub What do a secret wedding and Richard Nixon have in common with HIPAA? A lot more than you might think, shares Bailey Mack, Chief Compliance Officer at Together for Youth. In this podcast she tells us the interesting history of privacy and the law.  We begin in 1890 when a photographer trespassed to photograph a wedding he wasn't supposed to be photographing.  Thirty eight years later in the Olmstead case, wiretapping wasn't deemed intrusive because no one entered the room.  It was as if a privacy violation could occur only if there was trespassing involved. That began to change in the 1960s in which thinking evolved and the idea gained currency that privacy was about violations of the person's right to privacy, rather than to property. Watergate led to further changes in which citizens were given access to government records about them.  And, since then, more legislation has come and likely will. Listen in to learn more, and if you're an SCCE or HCCA member, don't miss her article in Compliance & Ethics Professional® magazine.

The Epstein scandal is rapidly evolving into a crisis that rivals—if not surpasses—the most infamous presidential scandals in American history, such as Watergate and Iran-Contra. Those scandals were rooted in political corruption and abuse of power, but the Epstein saga carries a darker, more corrosive weight: it implicates multiple presidents, across party lines, in a web of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, financial criminality, and intelligence-style operations spanning decades. The scope is unprecedented—its network crosses borders, infiltrates global finance, academia, politics, intelligence, philanthropy, and celebrity culture. Unlike previous scandals that were geographically contained and structurally centralized, the Epstein story touches nearly every institution that claims moral authority, revealing systemic rot rather than isolated wrongdoing. It has become a mirror exposing how power is actually wielded behind closed doors.What makes this scandal uniquely explosive is the ongoing cover-up. Americans watched both Republican and Democratic presidents minimize the story, suppress documents, seal evidence, and insist on silence despite mountains of public testimony, lawsuits, and survivor accounts. When a sitting president calls Epstein's operation a “hoax,” and another pretends distance despite private flights and personal visits, it shatters the illusion that leadership is ever truly accountable. Watergate toppled a presidency; Iran-Contra nearly did the same. But the Epstein scandal cuts deeper, because it strikes at the heart of trust—the belief that children are protected, justice is real, and leaders represent the public rather than shield a predatory elite. If the truth ever fully emerges, the political fallout could dwarf every scandal that came before it, forcing a reckoning far beyond partisan loyalties.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Files: Will Voters Hold Trump Accountable?

The Epstein scandal is rapidly evolving into a crisis that rivals—if not surpasses—the most infamous presidential scandals in American history, such as Watergate and Iran-Contra. Those scandals were rooted in political corruption and abuse of power, but the Epstein saga carries a darker, more corrosive weight: it implicates multiple presidents, across party lines, in a web of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, financial criminality, and intelligence-style operations spanning decades. The scope is unprecedented—its network crosses borders, infiltrates global finance, academia, politics, intelligence, philanthropy, and celebrity culture. Unlike previous scandals that were geographically contained and structurally centralized, the Epstein story touches nearly every institution that claims moral authority, revealing systemic rot rather than isolated wrongdoing. It has become a mirror exposing how power is actually wielded behind closed doors.What makes this scandal uniquely explosive is the ongoing cover-up. Americans watched both Republican and Democratic presidents minimize the story, suppress documents, seal evidence, and insist on silence despite mountains of public testimony, lawsuits, and survivor accounts. When a sitting president calls Epstein's operation a “hoax,” and another pretends distance despite private flights and personal visits, it shatters the illusion that leadership is ever truly accountable. Watergate toppled a presidency; Iran-Contra nearly did the same. But the Epstein scandal cuts deeper, because it strikes at the heart of trust—the belief that children are protected, justice is real, and leaders represent the public rather than shield a predatory elite. If the truth ever fully emerges, the political fallout could dwarf every scandal that came before it, forcing a reckoning far beyond partisan loyalties.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Files: Will Voters Hold Trump Accountable?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Why did thousands of Israelites stand for six hours in the hot sun just to hear God's Word?After Nehemiah completes the wall in just 52 days, he shifts focus from building structures to building hearts. In this episode, Nehemiah calls Ezra in to read the Law to the people for the first time in generations. So the people gather at the Water Gate, a prophetically symbolic location near Jerusalem's water source, craving to hear the Book of the Law they've never had access to before. The Israelites response to God's word is an inspiration. Themes of this episode:How reading God's Word restored Israel's relationship with Him.Why the Water Gate location holds prophetic significance.Practical ways we can be an Ezra or Levite in our own community.Show notes:BlogFeasts and Festivals ChartWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

No podíamos arrancar diciembre mejor, y es que lo hacemos hablando de la historia que nos muestra una de las películas más memorables de los 90, Forrest Gump. La obra de Zemeckis y Hanks no solo cautiva corazones, sino que nos da una buena lección de buena parte de la historia estadounidense del siglo XX. La segregación racial, la guerra de Vietnam, el Watergate… son solo algunos de los acontecimientos en los que nos detendremos para abordar el film estrenado en 1994. Y por si fuera poco, reunimos al trío bibliotecario al completo: Pello Larrinaga, Bikendi Goiko-uria y Mikel Carramiñana. Y al estilo de los míticos programas del Sur, la extensión del audio, no habrá segunda propuesta, pero sí repetición. Recuperamos una entrega de Por los Dioses, en la que hablaremos del culto a Mitra en el Imperio romano. Una deidad de origen persa cuyo culto se expandió a través de las legiones romanas y que tiene numerosas coincidencias con otras religiones como el cristianismo. Y por cierto, pronto tendremos a Sergio Alejo y Ángel Portillo abordando el tema de la expansión del cristianismo en Roma. Ahí queda eso… Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

In Part II of our conversation, Nick Schwellenbach, a Senior Investigator at the Project on Government Oversight, shares his insights from his time in the U.S. Office of Special Counsel–a government agency set up after Watergate, meant to protect us from the next Nixon. So, what happened?  In this week's bonus show, we're looking for checks-and-balances. With a grifter-in-chief enriching himself and his family, following in the footsteps of overthrown Kremlin-backed kleptocrat Viktor Yanukovych, we're especially curious about the Hatch Act–whatever happened to that?

According to his own financial disclosure forms, Donald Trump is using his knowledge about deals his own administration is attempting to make to earn himself millions of dollars. Trump's forms show that he recently purchased several million dollars in shares of Intel - the same company that he's trying to have the government purchase a stake in. He made similar purchases of Boeing bonds, the company that stands to profit the most from his potential invasion of Venezuela. Donald Trump has decided to follow through on his administration's promise from several months ago about NOT releasing economic reports to the public. Several months ago, the Trump administration said that it was because the data was being "manipulated" by Democratic plants, but now they're trying to blame it all on the government shutdown. The truth is much more simple: The data is devastating and Donald Trump doesn't want to suffer the humiliation of being the worst president on economic issues since George W. Bush. According to the polling information available, Donald Trump is now more unpopular than at any other point in his two terms in office. But if you step back even further than that, the picture is far more grim. Donald Trump's disapproval rating of 63% (from a recent CNN poll) makes him the LEAST LIKED president since Richard Nixon, and Nixon wasn't truly despised until the Watergate scandal. Since a vast majority of the population is under the age of 50, this means that most of us have never seen a president as despised as Trump. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

This week we go into the dark heart of American Gestapo: Gregory Bovino's Border Patrol, which pushes ICE to become even more aggressive in his fascist feverdream.  Here to help us make sense of this hellscape is Nick Schwellenbach, a Senior Investigator at the Project on Government Oversight and former Communications Director at the U.S. Office of Special Counsel–a government agency set up after Watergate, meant to protect us from the next Nixon–more on that in this week's bonus show out Thursday.  Bovino grew up a Border Patrol fanboy idolizing fascist fiction and now stalks American cities in a Nazi-style trench coat with a taxpayer-funded film crew glamorizing his violent raids. Like Trump is a showman, Bovino is cruelty as a recruitment tool to consolidate power. Under his un-checked leadership, his border patrol army operates deep inside the U.S., smashing car windows, kidnapping U.S. citizens, and rounding up tens of thousands of people, including veterans and children, into detention centers where deaths are spiking at unprecedented rates.  With the help of questions submitted by a Gaslit Nation listener (thank you, Isabel!) we go into all the pressing questions about Bovino's Border Patrol and also ICE, including what happened to the children who disappeared under Trump's first term and what can be done to protect vulnerable immigrants today? As you listen to this episode, which opens with a clip of Bovino justifying shooting protesters with pepper balls, keep in mind Republicans gave ICE, which works closely with Bovino's Border Patrol, $75 billion over the next four years. They're also operating under aggressive weekly quotas. But is their war chest also for general population control?  For our bonus episode this week, we look at the safeguards that could have prevented Trump's return and why they didn't.

We are extremely grateful to our listeners who are keeping us afloat during a very difficult economic time. Every bit of support helps give us the freedom to be independent and tell the truth, so thank you again for making Gaslit Nation possible!

This weekend, President Trump raged over a video from Democrats that warned against carrying out “illegal orders.” That led him to get his Defense Secretary to launch an investigation of one of those Democrats, Senator and former Navy captain Mark Kelly. But things kept spiraling downward for Trump when a judge tossed out his corrupt prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James. The ruling—that his appointment of a stooge U.S. Attorney was illegal—shows that his slapdash targeting of enemies is what backfired. In all these stories, Trump is corruptly weaponizing the system to get revenge on enemies for corrupt purposes, and it's running aground for him. We talked to David Kurtz, who covers legal issues for Talking Points Memo's excellent Morning Memo newsletter. We discuss how Trump's own corruption is blowing up in his face, how the failing prosecutions are connected to his vile effort to get revenge on Kelly, and why we're going to need another post-Watergate-scale reform effort to salvage the system once all this is over.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

In 1976 All the President's Men was released to an audience eagerly awaiting Hollywood's take on the story of the decade: the Washington Post investigation that led to the downfall of President Richard Nixon. The all-star team of producer Robert Redford, screenwriter William Goldman and director Alan Pakula had the task of adapting a highly complicated best-seller by reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein into a movie, but could rely on the fact that contemporary audiences knew the story well. With the help of The Godfather cinematographer Gordon Willis and a superb cast, they succeeded in creating a film worthy of the hype. But does it hit with a new generation of viewers whose understanding of Watergate may be understandably murky at best? Can a film this topical still pack a punch almost 50 years after its release? Find out as our panel of young film lovers contends with the revolutionary changes in journalism, politics, and the media that have occurred since 1976 — and ask whether a pair of intrepid reporters could topple a corrupt President today.

We are shattering the stereotype that church is supposed to be boring. We are defiantly opposed to a form of religion that is exhausting. We are creating a culture where we understand the father heart of God, where we have childlike faith, think fun is fun, a middle laugh till it hurts, adventure into the unknown, rest well, become cheerful givers and see it as the great joy of our life.Many of us have this view that God is angry and just wants us to be sad and read our Bibles, but this could not be further from the truth. God is the happiest being in the universe. Jesus personifies joy. Jesus was a known partier. That's why oftentimes he is accused of being a glutton, a drunkard, and a sinner because he's constantly hanging out in these environments.The vision that Jesus has for what's on the other side of abiding with Him is joy.And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the Lord had commanded Israel. 2 So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand, and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam on his left hand. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. 6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, helped the people to understand the Law, while the people remained in their places. 8 They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.This Day Is Holy9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law. 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.Nehemiah 8:1-12We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

Verses 1-26 contains the names of the priests and Levites who were present at the dedication of the wall. From verses 27-43 the service of dedication is described by Nehemiah. Two choirs one led by Ezra and the other by Nehemiah start off together from the Dung Gate in opposite directions and meet halfway around the wall at the Water Gate and as they walked around they were rejoicing and singing the words of David's psalm of Thanksgiving. This Psalm was first sung at the bringing of the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem in the time of Davidverses 1 Chronicles 16verses8-36. The concluding verses of the chapter tell us of the service at the temple with further songs of thanksgiving and praise as well as the distribution of portions most likely from the thanksgiving and peace offerings to the priests, the Levites, the singers and the Gatekeepers.Amos 4 tells derisively and contemptuously the extreme avarice and control the sisters of the community of God had over their husbands. In verses 2-3 the LORD says that He cannot ignore such ruthless and callous behaviour, but will take them away by the Assyrian invaders, who will lead them with fishhooks. In verses 4-5 with rich irony, they are invited to Bethel - the house of God - to sin. Verses 6-11 outline the methods of chastisement sent one after another upon them, sadly these were all without any effect.Firstly, the withholding of rain and famine; secondly, blight and mildew on their crops; thirdly, locust plagues; fourthly, disease and destruction by the sword. God saw them as a stick in the fire and He used every known effort to pluck them out of the fireverses Jude verses 22-23. But the nation of Israel remains as unresponsive to Divine correction as Sodom and Gomorrah. For these reasons the nation must now prepare to face Yahweh in judgment. What a daunting prospect this would prove to be given His awesome and unlimited power.2 Timothy is the last letter the Apostle Paul writes. The Apostle has been hunted throughout the Roman world as a criminal, and then taken to Rome and placed in a cold dark cell awaiting execution by beheading. The year is 63-64 AD. The fire which destroys half of the buildings in Rome was blamed on the Christians by Nero; and Paul as a recognised ringleader of the hated sect is to be made the chief scapegoat. The introduction to this letter additionally contains the greeting of mercy (to grace and peace) which start all the letters before the Apostle's second imprisonment; excepting Philemon which is a personal letter. As one gets older one becomes even more conscious of the need for Divine mercy - for without it we are all doomed. The words of this letter are Paul's last and chosen very carefully to warn and advise. The first great charge was to safeguard the deposit of the sound teachings which were believed. Timothy's love of the truth goes back to his mother and grandmother (Lois and Eunice). Timothy had been given the gift of prophecy by the laying on of the hands of the elders. Paul encourages this faithful young man to stir up that gift and to be invigorated to enthusiastically testify as to what Timothy knew to be true. What a hope he has embraced and he stands unshakable in his conviction that, "Jesus Christ had abolished death and brought life (Zoe) and immortality (deathlessness) to light through the gospel"(v10). Timothy is exhorted to follow the great example of faith and love that had been lived out and constantly exhibited by Paul. The Apostle says that he has fathered Timothy in the gospel. Sadly, in Paul's time of needing support he is abandoned by many. Paul names two in particular - Phygellus and Hermogenes - as foremost in his abandonment. But he commends Onesiphorus, who appears to have been killed for his going to Rome to aid the aged and suffering Apostle.

EPISODE 150 | Operation Gemstone & the Gemstone File Very often sheer naked greed is hidden behind a glossy finish of virtue, something we can plainly see in the stories of two Gemstones from the conspiracy world – G.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 34: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: So, will he? I mean you don't think he's serious about WANTING them released, do you? He's just trying to avoid a 100-vote defeat. Note he hasn't asked the Senate to pass a bill. And he's already throwing out "what can be legally released" caveats - like he cares. And Trump is still threatening to prosecute President Clinton. He's thrown Marjorie Taylor Greene under the bus. He's destroyed the House and the DOJ. He's invoking The Streisand Effect and insisted we all stop talking about it. His Government Shutdown ran out of gas - what does he do now? He's terrified of what's in there, to the point where Senator Chris Murphy said it's enough to potentially end his presidency. I mean Alexander Haig and others told Nixon to burn the Watergate tapes, in public, with the media present and Haig says Nixon asked him to do it but Haig demurred and later says it was the biggest mistake ever. So? Will Trump destroy the Epstein Files? Burn them, bury them, dump them, or order Kash Patel or Pam Bondi or just Walt Nauta to do it? And can Democrats make Epstein and what is at minimum Trump's protection of pedophiles the centerpiece of the midterms? To explain to voters that burying the files is why Trump is gerrymandering and trying to fix or cancel those midterms? If he doesn't destroy them, does he destroy the process by which they could get out? Does he destroy what's left of democracy? The full monty of authoritarianism? And as an aside, when he was even willing to change the topic from Epstein to his MRI last month, did anybody else note that he made a remark as crazy as anything ever said by - anybody? That he had no idea what part of his body they MRI'd but he had the greatest MRI ever? What if he's not crazy, lying, or unable to understand what an MRI is? What if that's true? Was he unconscious? Sedated? Did they just surprise him? What are the implications for the theories that he's being treated for some form of dementia? Or: Maybe they MRI’d Trump looking to see if he stuffed the Epstein files up his...assisted living facility. PLUS: The self-beclowning of Stephen A. Smith continues. He can't figure out why Gavin Newsom and AOC and other Democrats won't come on his new political podcast: "I'm A Right Wing Dupe." And Olivia Nuzzi's new book is about to arrive and I have only one detail to address, but I have two big fears. What if her publicity tours include interviews with Ingraham on Fox and Tur on MSNOW? Lol B-Block (34:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: JD Vance wants us to believe all those undocumented immigrants are stealing SNAP benefits, eating pets and driving up home prices by snapping up $500,000 houses. It seems like Eric Trump just said his wife charges him a fee to have a glass of wine with her. And Megyn Kelly explains Jeffrey Epstein wasn't technically a pedophile and the age of the victim makes a difference, after a career filled with her screaming at anybody else who suggested exactly the same thing. C-Block (45:00) IN MEMORY OF MISHU: It's the fourth anniversary of the month my late hospice puppy with the incurable, untreatable heart condition, taught me one of the meanings of life. I like to remember him; I hope you'll remember him with me.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Washington Roundtable discusses the trove of Jeffrey Epstein correspondence released by Congress this week, the fractures it has caused in the Republican Party, and the potential political ramifications for President Trump. Their guest is the investigative reporter Michael Isikoff, who has spent decades reporting on major scandals in American politics, including the affair between President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, and Russian interference in the 2016 election. The panel considers the factors that made other scandals in the past, such as Watergate, break through the public consciousness and change the course of Presidencies. This week's reading: “The Epstein Scandal Is Now a Chronic Disease of the Trump Presidency,” by Susan B.

The so-called phase one release of the Epstein files was nothing more than a pathetic PR puppet show dressed up as transparency. Instead of inviting the only people who actually deserved to be in that room—the survivors—the organizers hand-selected a cast of online clowns and grifters who have about as much understanding of the Epstein case as a houseplant. They paraded around the White House like they won a radio contest, smiling for cameras, posting selfies, and pushing prewritten talking points as if they were uncovering Watergate. It was state-sponsored propaganda masquerading as accountability, an insult delivered with a smile. Survivors were ignored, the press was sidelined, and instead the public was spoon-fed a carefully constructed narrative built for PR optics, not truth.What should have been a moment of brutal honesty and real disclosure was reduced to a circus of Twitter personalities and YouTube hustlers with zero investigative credibility—people who built their brands on culture-war outrage and have never spent a second doing real reporting on Epstein. The entire spectacle reeked of panic management, damage control, and political theater designed to neutralize public pressure and pretend progress was being made without actually releasing anything of substance. It was a grotesque mockery of justice: a stage play designed to distract, deflect, and buy time. If the goal was to treat the public like idiots and spit in the face of survivors, mission accomplished.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Road to Goldwater: Ronald Reagan's Conservative Conversion via General Electric and His Confrontational Governorship. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan found great success in television, hosting the General Electric Theater and earning substantial income while mixing with corporate leadership in the 1950s and early 1960s. Reagan transitioned politically from being an avid New Dealer and FDR supporter to supporting the early Republican conservative movement, particularly Barry Goldwater. Boot argues that Reagan changed, not the Democratic Party, as his transformation began in World War II when he resented paying income taxes at a 90% rate. His political shift was completed in the 1950s during his time as a spokesman for General Electric, where he used long train rides to read conservative literature. In 1964, Reagan's debut on the national political stage came when the Goldwater campaign bought half an hour of air time for Reagan to deliver "A Time for Choosing," which became known simply as "the speech." In 1966, Reagan decided to run for governor against incumbent Pat Brown. During his tenure, particularly the People's Park demonstrations in 1969, Reagan adopted a confrontational stance, using hardline rhetoric and giving student radicals the confrontation they desired, though this approach was politically successful. Reagan was a devoted supporter of Richard Nixon, even backing him during Watergate, though Nixon held little respect for Reagan. Reagan ran hard for the presidency in 1976 and 1980.

1. Allegations of Government Surveillance ("Arctic Frost") Senator Cruz claims the Biden administration, via Special Counsel Jack Smith and Judge James Boasberg, conducted surveillance on nine Republican Senators (20% of the GOP in the Senate). The operation allegedly involved 197 subpoenas targeting over 430 Republican individuals and entities, including Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association. Cruz asserts that his own phone records were subpoenaed, but AT&T refused to comply, citing constitutional protections. He compares the operation to Watergate, calling it “Joe Biden’s Watergate,” and accuses Judge Boasberg of partisan abuse of power, calling for his impeachment. 2. Government Shutdown The podcast talks about the ongoing government shutdown as the “Schumer shutdown”, blaming Democrats for refusing to fund essential services. Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats are intentionally prolonging the shutdown to hurt Americans and blame Republicans, especially Donald Trump. They claim Democrats are withholding food stamps, military pay, and other services to create public pressure. Cruz emphasizes that Republicans have voted multiple times to reopen the government, but Democrats have blocked it. 3. Bill Gates’ Shift on Climate Change The hosts discuss a reported shift in Bill Gates’ stance on climate change, quoting him as saying the “doomsday view of climate change is wrong.” Gates allegedly suggests that while climate change is serious, it is not the most pressing global issue compared to poverty and disease. Cruz uses this to criticize climate alarmism and the policies of the Democratic Party, arguing that radical climate policies have harmed the environment and economy.

1. Ninth Circuit Court Ruling on National Guard Deployment in Portland The podcast discusses a legal victory for former President Donald Trump, where the Ninth Circuit Court allowed him to deploy the National Guard to Portland. It criticizes left-leaning media, particularly MSNBC, for their reaction to the ruling. The court's decision is framed as a validation of Trump's authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which allows the President to federalize the National Guard when necessary to enforce U.S. laws. The commentary emphasizes that this ruling supports Trump's efforts to restore law and order in cities like Portland, Washington D.C., Memphis, and Chicago. 2. Senator Chuck Grassley and the “Arctic Frost” Investigation The second half of the podcast focuses on revelations by Senator Chuck Grassley regarding an FBI and DOJ investigation codenamed “Arctic Frost.” This investigation, launched in April 2022, allegedly targeted Republican lawmakers and conservative organizations under the pretext of probing efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Grassley claims that high-ranking officials—including then-Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray—personally approved the investigation. The document portrays the investigation as a politically motivated effort to surveil and suppress Trump allies and conservative groups, comparing it to a scandal “worse than Watergate.” It also mentions the disbanding of the FBI’s CR-15 squad, which was allegedly used to target conservatives under the guise of investigating public corruption.

1. Christian Persecution in Nigeria Senator Cruz highlights what he describes as a massive and underreported crisis involving the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Key points include: Over 50,000 Christians killed since 2009. 18,000 churches and 2,000 schools burned, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. Accusations that some Nigerian government officials are complicit or negligent in addressing the violence. Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on individual officials involved in or ignoring the persecution. He criticizes the mainstream media for failing to cover the issue adequately. Public figures like Bill Maher and Van Jones are cited as supporting the claim that this is a planned genocide and that media silence is a moral failure. 2. Christian Persecution in China This section shifts to a similar story: The Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Christianity, particularly targeting Pastor Jin Mingri and the Zion Church. Cruz introduced a bipartisan resolution with Senator Chris Coons condemning China’s actions and urging the release of imprisoned pastors. He emphasizes the need for economic and diplomatic pressure, especially with President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping. The resolution calls for respect for religious freedom and highlights China’s long-standing designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. 3. DOJ Surveillance of Republican Senators Cruz discusses revelations that: The Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of nine Republican senators and one House member in connection with the January 6 investigation. Cruz’s phone records were requested from AT&T, but the company refused to comply, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. He frames this as political persecution and a dangerous abuse of power, likening it to Watergate. He calls for Congressional hearings and transparency to prevent future surveillance of elected officials. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. DOJ Subpoenas and Alleged Political Surveillance Senator Cruz reveals that Jack Smith, Special Counsel under the Biden DOJ, subpoenaed his phone records as part of an investigation into events surrounding January 6th. Cruz was not initially listed among the nine Republican senators whose records were obtained because his phone provider, AT&T, refused to comply with the subpoena, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. The DOJ reportedly obtained records from Verizon for other senators, including Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, and Lindsey Graham. Cruz and Ferguson characterize the subpoenas as a politically motivated fishing expedition, lacking criminal justification. 2. Concerns Over Abuse of Power Cruz argues this represents a dangerous precedent of the executive branch spying on legislative members. He calls for hearings and investigations to uncover who authorized the subpoenas and to prevent future abuses. The operation is referred to as “Arctic Frost”, which Cruz likens to a modern-day Watergate. 3. Meeting with Donald Trump at the White House Cruz recounts a lunch with Trump and other Republican senators, where Trump showcased renovations to the Rose Garden and plans for a new ballroom. The upgrades are privately funded, not taxpayer-funded, yet have drawn criticism from Democrats. Trump also distributed personalized gifts (e.g., challenge coins, golf towels, M&Ms) and joked about naming a room the “Monica Lewinsky Room.” 4. Government Shutdown Cruz discusses the ongoing government shutdown, blaming Democrats for refusing to vote to reopen. He notes that only three Democrats have supported reopening efforts, despite impacts on TSA agents and air traffic controllers. He predicts that retiring Democrats may eventually break ranks to end the shutdown.
