What if some of our most celebrated American values—independence, grit, innovation—can also be spiritual traps? In 1899, Pope Leo XIII warned about “Americanism,” a heresy that elevates personal effort and autonomy while quietly sidelining grace, humility, and reverence for tradition. In this episode, Dr. Greg explores what the Pope saw coming, and how this heresy still affects our Church and culture today.    Key Topics: What Pope Leo XIII meant by “Americanism”—and how this heresy impacts us today How independence and innovation can be both a gift and a spiritual risk The fine line between healthy revolution and abandoning what's been rightly passed down Why natural virtue and hard work matter—but only when elevated by grace What American saints reveal about living holiness within a unique cultural spirit How to discern what to keep and what to leave behind in our cultural inheritance Why a mature, integrated Catholic identity is the only path forward in a fragmented world   Learn More: Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae: Concerning New Opinions, Virtue, Nature and Grace, With Regard to Americanism (Pope Leo XIII, 1899): Read the full text Cabrini (2024) – A powerful film about St. Frances Xavier Cabrini's mission and courage: Watch or learn more Related Being Human episodes: Episode 202: Complementarity Without the Competition: Why We Need Each Other Episode 200: Leaked Audio from a Groundbreaking Franciscan University Conference Keynote Episode 151: From Gender Dysphoria to Gender Integration Episode 75: Gender Fluidity or Complementarity?

Time capsules! America is full of them ... and for America 250, Congress is even creating a new one. For this year's Fourth of July holiday, C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" presents a time capsule of its own. The contents: What American presidents have said about time capsules — or even put in time capsules. Like pictures of themselves. Here's what Senate historian Don Ritchie once told C-SPAN: "I was present in 1976 when we actually opened a safe that was essentially a time capsule that had given to the government in 1876. And President Ford came to the Capitol just before the Bicentennial, and opened the safe, we had no idea what was inside, there were pictures of Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife and other items that were donated at the time of the first centennial." Which other presidents have included pictures of themselves in time capsules? And what else have they put in? Find out in C-SPAN's "The Weekly." Because if you're celebrating the Fourth of July — and gearing up for America 250 — you'll want to hear all about American history, the American presidency — and time capsules.

“Is Trump interested in being Constitutionally faithful?” (Mark Labberton, from this episode) “What we're watching here is the operation of the will of an individual on the system, and the system is really meant to answer to the negotiated will of a plural body.” (Yuval Levin, from this episode) “ I think character is destiny, especially in the American presidency, because the presidency really is one person.” (Yuval Levin, from this episode) The transition of power from one presidential administration to another always has the potential for turbulence—often a surreal, perplexing, or disorienting process. But is there anything peculiar or problematic about the opening days of Donald Trump's second term in office? Is there anything unconstitutional? In this episode, Mark Labberton welcomes back Yuval Levin for a conversation about the political and social impact of Donald Trump's first month in office in light of Constitutional law and the Separation of Powers. Yuval Levin is the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Currie Chair in Public Policy. His latest book is American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again. He's founder of National Affairs, senior editor at The New Atlantis, a contributing editor of National Review, and contributing opinion writer at the New York Times. Together they discuss: The authority of the Constitution over the presidency The importance of character in the office of the president The separation of powers and the threat of presidential overreach What American citizens should be genuinely worried about right now The importance of cross-partisan policymaking and a variety of political voices Why we should worry, but not panic About Yuval Levin Yuval Levin is the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy. The founder and editor of National Affairs, he is also a senior editor at The New Atlantis, a contributing editor at National Review, and a contributing opinion writer at the New York Times. At AEI, Levin and scholars in the Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies research division study the foundations of self-government and the future of law, regulation, and constitutionalism. They also explore the state of American social, political, and civic life, focusing on the preconditions necessary for family, community, and country to flourish. Levin served as a member of the White House domestic policy staff under President George W. Bush. He was also executive director of the President's Council on Bioethics and a congressional staffer at the member, committee, and leadership levels. In addition to being interviewed frequently on radio and television, Levin has published essays and articles in numerous publications, including Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Commentary. He is the author of several books on political theory and public policy, most recently American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation – and Could Again (Basic Books, 2024). He holds an MA and PhD from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. Show Notes A time of “presidential gigantism” “Is Trump interested in being Constitutionally faithful?” Pluralism and vigorous debate Swamping a weak, divided Congress Separation of Powers Legislature vs Executive Branch “ Nobody really ever expected the president to be representative. Presidents are elected to be accountable. Congress is elected to be representative.” “What we're watching here is the operation of the will of an individual on the system, and the system is really meant to answer to the negotiated will of a plural body.” Performative nature of political roles “Random grab-bag of power plays.” Fear of a “lawless president” “The beginning of  a new administration is unavoidably a little surreal.” “ It's important not to over-read the strength that's evident at the outset here because we don't really know how much of this will play out.” Elon Musk as Pseudo-President “ The president does command the executive branch. On the other hand, the president does not command the federal government.” “ When the question is, does the president have to follow the law, the answer to that is going to be yes.” Is the Supreme Court going to keep Trump in check? Overturning Chevron deference “Character is destiny.” “ I think character is destiny, especially in the American presidency, because the presidency really is one person.” “ The fact that character's destiny in the presidency is not good news for Donald Trump and is not good news for the country while he is president because the biggest problem with Trump is his character, is the lack of a sense of personal responsibility and self restraint, the lack of a respect for the need for stability and coherence in leadership, And to have an administration that has that character is going to challenge our system and I think just create problems for the country in some important ways.” ”In moments of decision and crisis, it's the president's character that determines how things go.” “ My biggest worry about Trump is not one policy or another. There's some I like and some I don't. But it's that ultimately the presidency is one person, and this one person is just not a good fit for that office.” Presidential overreach Loyalty tests and punishment “ What the president really does is make hard decisions.” Having room for opposition “Administration is impossible when people on the ground are afraid to tell you what's going on.” Alarm Bells First: “The possibility of the administration just willfully ignoring a court order.” Second: “Ignoring signals of trouble, ignoring dissent, ignoring opposing voices, a sense that they're ignoring reality and pretending things are happening that aren't. That's very dangerous in the presidency.” Third: “It's also worth worrying about the tendency for vengeance and for personal vendettas for using the power of prosecution and of law enforcement for political purposes, even for personal purposes.” Character and mindset Congress has 535 people. The presidency comes down to one person. Dangers on the horizon Checks and balances Laying the groundwork for a third Trump term? “On the whole  our institutions have proven fairly strong.” “It is better to worry than to panic. Worry lets you make distinctions …” Yuval Levin's American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again What is the voice of citizenship right now? Appropriations “Governors are some of the sanest people in our politics in this moment.” “I don't think that the lesson of Trump's first term should be that people who oppose him should just sit it out and wait. I think the lesson on the contrary is that the Trump administration does respond to pressure.” “Policy change should happen through cross partisan negotiation in Congress.” “President Trump has said, for example, that in his first month in office, he wants to have met every house Republican.” A variety of voices “In a way, the mindset of what's the thing we would do if we could magically do anything is the problem, not the solution. And it's how Donald Trump is thinking, what would I do if I were the emperor? I think the most important thing in this moment is for him to realize that he is not the emperor, and that our system never lets us do that thing we would want to do. That's the beauty of the system.” “The other great political question. What can I get done that I also want to achieve?” “God Bless America.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Why did Thomas Jefferson write that he would be happy if all dogs went extinct? What economic opportunity did attorney John Lord Hayes envision for the newly emancipated during Reconstruction? What American workers were mocked by Theodore Roosevelt as “morose, melancholy men”? What problems with revenue collection did Congressman James Beauchamp Clark mention when proposing an income tax? Why did Harley O. Gable of Armour & Company recommend that his meat-packing business manufacture violin strings? Why was Senator Lyndon Johnson angry at the Army and Navy Munitions Board at the start of the Korean War? The answers to all these questions involve sheep. From the colonial era through the mid-twentieth century, America's flocks played a key role in the nation's development. Furthermore, much consternation centered around the sheep the United States lacked, so that dependency on foreign wool—a headache in times of peace—became a full-blown crisis in wartime. But more than just providers of wool, sheep were valued for their meat, for their byproducts after slaughter, and even for their efficiency at lawn maintenance. American Sheep: A Cultural History (University of Georgia Press, 2024) is the story of the complex and fascinating relationship between Americans and their sheep. Brett Bannor explains how sheep have significantly impacted the broader growth and development of the United States. The history of America's sheep encompasses topics that touch on many cornerstones of the American experience, such as enslavement, warfare, western expansion, industrialization, taxation, feminism, conservation, and labor relations, among others. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

8/11/2024 God Is Orchestrating These Last Days The Globalists actually have to be pretty impressed with what they have been able to do. They got the whole world to shut down over a cold virus. They got the most popular president in history out of office. They got the most despised crook in congress elected as he stayed in his basement. Now they have Kamala Harris all set to take office in January. What American's vote for these people? If they did vote for them? God is allowing us the leaders we deserve around the world. He is bringing remedial judgment upon the world for our ungodly ways and sexual sin. And it first shows in low morality of the people and at the last in foolish leadership. That's where we are today.

Everything is getting more expensive and the jobs numbers keep getting revised. What American's are faced with thanks to supercharged inflation fueled by the people in power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Data-Driven Decisions is a new limited-series marketing podcast presented by Convince & Convert and shared with our Social Pros listeners. Is it true that many Americans perceive their homes not just as living spaces, but as vehicles for wealth accumulation? And can this lead to a disconnect between their desires and the reality of home ownership? In this episode of Data-Driven Decisions, we find out.  What do Americans really want from their homes?  Is it just a cozy living space, or something more profound? Join us as we dive into the psyche of the modern homeowner with Erin Willis, Chief Insight and Marketing Officer at Sekisui House, one of America's leading home builders. We look at the importance of understanding customer happiness and how it's at the core of creating homes that truly feel like a sanctuary. Erin also delves into the methodology behind Sekisui House's customer-centric approach, revealing the synergy between data-driven decisions and a genuine understanding of customer needs.  From leveraging video diaries for real insights to incorporating behavioral science into home design, this episode shines a light on the innovative strategies employed to make homes that genuinely cater to the happiness and health of their residents. This includes addressing common challenges like storage and space optimization, which are crucial for creating a stress-free, comfortable living environment.  Erin also shares the exciting launch of SHAWOOD, a brand that exemplifies Sekisui House's commitment to offering architecturally unique, environmentally friendly homes that meet modern needs.  In This Episode: 01:04 - Introducing Erin Willis and Sekisui House 03:09 - The overall strategic goals of Erin's role as Chief Insight and Marketing Officer  05:31 - What American homeowners are looking for compared to other countries  08:20 - How Sekisui House conducts research into homeowner needs  10:40 - Building a culture of curiosity in your team and organization 13:29 - Turning insights into messaging that resonates with your audience  16:27 - How the data impacts the content that they create 19:44 - How Sekisui House sets customer expectations and measures them 22:15 - The launch of SHAWOOD and what it means for Sekisui House  25:02 - How Sekisui House validates hypotheses   27:31 - How the company extends customer lifetime value and builds loyalty  30:50 - Advice for marketers to start using data insights to develop a better customer experience 34:03 - Practices and guidelines that promote a sense of safety and creativity within the team 36:20 - Insights Erin wishes she had known at the beginning of her journey 39:23 - Examples of companies Erin admires for marrying customer-centricity and data   Quotes: “Building a culture of curiosity is something that I always encourage organizations to do. What kinds of practices do you have in your team's meetings or in your guidelines or in your processes that help to create that sense of safety, and make sure that folks feel like they can bring their questions and their ideas to the table?” “A lot of Americans view their home as an investment property. It's a vehicle to accumulate wealth. And it ceases to be a home when you start to think about it like that. A lot of people don't feel at home in their homes.” Resources: Sekisui House: https://www.sekisuihouse-global.com/ Connect with Erin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinboggswillis/ Connect with Zontee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zonteehou/ Purchase the book at convinceandconvert.com/data-driven (use code CCData20 for 20% off and free shipping in the UK and US) and sign up for more content at convinceandconvert.com.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news that as we await our local labour market report, the global economy is expanding modestly, but inflation isn't killed off yet.First in the US labour costs rose +4.2% in the year to March, up +1.2% from the prior quarter. This is the highest rate of increase since mid-2022 and is more indication that inflation's pressures remain at a stick level - not excessively high, but not tracking down as their central banks needs.American retail sales at physical stores were up +5.5% last week from the same week a year ago, another indicator that consumers are still spending those higher payroll increases, and keeping inflationary pressures on.But the Conference Board survey of consumer sentiment retreated in April. What American consumers say and what they do are diverting again. This time it isn't about present conditions which they think are ok, rather about future conditions which they are more worried about. But there are some interesting differences. Those on modest incomes are more confident than those on higher incomes. Those under 35 are more confident than those older.In Japan, it is becoming clearer that their central bank did in fact intervene in currency markets to support the yen yesterday.In China, the private Caixin factory PMI survey was more bullish that the official version. The modest Caixin expansion held in April, and in fact the sixth straight month of growth in factory activity recorded by this survey (which is concentrated in smaller private sector firms) and even though low, the fastest pace since February 2023.On the other hand, the official factory PMI survey, which is more focused on large State-owned enterprises was less positive even if it was their second straight month of (low) expansion in factory activity. Basically it is just holding.More positive is the official services PMI, but that was less positive in April than March and it came in well below what analysts were expecting, and the softest pace since January, as new orders shrank at a steeper rate. But it is positive still and that streak is now out to 16 consecutive months.In an earnings call comment, the Yili boss said Chinese milk supply has been higher than demand which isn't growing as it once did. But he was optimistic that the back end of 2024 would improve for the Chinese dairy industry.In Europe they said their April inflation was stable at 2.4% (Euro Area), and that their overall economy grew by +0.5% in the year to March (whole EU), which was a bit better than expected.

CheapShow wraps up its November month of very special episodes with a live show recorded as part of the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival on November 4th at the Streatham Space Project, South London. What happens when the vulgar, explosive nonsense of CheapShow teams up with the unnerving silliness of Digitiser? If you want to find out, listen to this episode of the economy comedy podcast! In 60 minutes, Paul, Eli, Mr Biffo and Sanja will take you on a random, hectic and damn near shambolic live show that just about gets across the finish line. Paul and Eli are still a little jetlagged from their Los Angeles adventure and bring some culinary leftovers from their trip. What American snacks will fail to pass muster and which will win over our stern judges? They also decide to give Mr Biffo a taste of The “Is It Mayo?” game and the outcome is one that causes Eli to leave the stage to go to the toilet. The grand finale of this week's episode is the premiere performance of Beanus' new play. It's a production that tells you the REAL genesis of his story and isn't deeply troubling AT ALL! Join us for the (not so) greatest show on Earth!

This week Jun and Daniel take on a topic neither is quite comfortable with: fashion. Daniel has had a growing list of fashion-related questions that he finally gets to discuss. Winter has come in Korea, and with it, another change in the clothing you see people wearing. What are some of the latest fashion trends in Korea? While yoga pants are rarely seen on the streets, who is wearing athleisure wear on the regular? What is the Korean term for luxury goods, and is Korea really that obsessed with them? What started off as an anti-brand, that has now become its own brand? What famous global brand is now owned by Korea? Why are certain brands much more popular in Korea, than the US? What American brands that have no relation to clothing become very popular clothing brands in Korea, and why? How has Burberry forever left its mark on the Korean fashion world? Are matching couple outfits still a thing, or have they evolved? Who is one of the most influential figures in fashion today? And what do pandas and killer whales have in common? If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel reveals his most precious clothing item from high school, while Jun shares something personal about himself that leaves Daniel both shocked and inspired.As a reminder, we record one episode a week in-person from Seoul, South Korea.

The prompt for this week's audio was David Zipper's recent Vox article, titled "Why Norway — the poster child for electric cars — is having second thoughts." Electric cars as the salient solution to climate change does a disservice to another brand of innovation: simplicity that works. Or, as we call it, biking, walking, public transit, and the like. We discuss: David Zipper's article on Norway's past decade of heavily incentivizing electric vehicle ownership. Why EVs cannot be the bulk of the solution to our cities' climate challenges. The geometry and economics of cities and their space. The common disconnect between Federal goals and cities' best interests, and how funding for one can severely undermine the other. Eisenhower's Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, and the risks of blanketed national policy and subsidy. Bifurcation and classism. Cautionary learnings for American planners and politicians. What American's can do to evangelize simple innovation that works. Explore further: "Why Norway — the poster child for electric cars — is having second thoughts" by David Zipper (Vox) Background on Eisenhower's Federal-Aid Highway Act, from KPBS in San Diego.

Did humor exist at all in Korea before this current generation? What was Daniel's experience with Asian American comedians growing up?  What American thing is one of the most popular Korean YouTube channels making fun of? What is a robot's favorite food? Where do astronauts go to drink?If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more!

We bring the Mounted Gun miniseries to a close with a good old fashioned Arcade Obscura. Each of us brings our pick for an obscure or underrated mounted gun game but one game is so obscure we invite the only person known to own it onto the podcast - Doc Mack from The Galloping Ghost arcade! Who is giving all these zombies guns? What American city has its own arcade game named after it? Are birthday cake Oreos really as gross as we make them out to be (yes)? Will an arcade game nearly 30 years in the making ever come out? Some listener questions get some love as Jarrod answers the three films he most recently watched (and they are on brand) and we identify what game is missing from The Galloping Ghost lineup. Special thanks to Craig Bass from Year of the Phoenix Productions and director of the upcoming documentary Ghostlord and the Quest for Dark Presence and Doc Mack (@GGA_Ghostlord).

Meanwhile, Brian got to take Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake for a spin, and dozens of full playthroughs of the original RE4, there were lots of surprises in store. Much has been said about Gotham Knights' lack of Batman, but what about its lack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Let's spin the wheel and see what genre the next God of War reboot will be - and then give our best elevator pitch for it.

It's common for kids to fly the nest at the age of 18 in the American culture, but this is very different from Latina cultures where kids stay with the family sometimes for decades! Join us today as we discuss the contrasts and similarities between Latina and American familial culture, and what each of the Amigas appreciates from both. We hear why Latina women eat last on special occasions (to make sure the men are out of the way!), and how GG and Daimy have adopted some of the American attitudes towards kids leaving the home. Marcy talks about why the family-first approach in Latina cultures is so wholesome, and GG tells us a funny story of the Latina habit of inviting friends of friends to events. We also learn about “American time”, and why taking kids to events at any time is actually good for them, plus so much more in this engaging episode. Key Points From This Episode:What sparked Marcy's interest in her friends' cultures. The real reason the women in Latina cultures let the men eat first on special occasions. How Daimy has adopted the American culture of kids leaving the home at 18, or near to. GG's change in parenting strategy from her first son, to her youngest two. Why the Amigas feel it's important for kids to fly the nest before their mid-20s.What Marcy appreciates about the Latina culture: the family first approach. Why GG won't change her children's rooms even after they have left home. What American time is, and why it's so different from what the Amigas know!GG's experience of friends inviting friends to other peoples' events, and why it upsets some people. How kids are included in all parties regardless of their age or the party start time, in Latina cultures. Why Marcy loves that everything is a celebration in the Amigas' cultures. Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Chatting With My Amigas Website Chatting With My Amigas EmailChatting With My Amigas on Instagram

In this episode, Dr. James Arcadi and Dr. Michelle Knight interview Dr. Christina Bieber Lake, a Henry Center Fellow this year, and Clyde S. Kilby Professor of English at Wheaton College. Christina made the long journey north from Wheaton to spend this year researching at TEDS, and in this episode, she shares the work she is doing to show how novels and poetry have a profound impact on how we inhabit our worlds.Christina began her career with a strong desire to teach English in a way informed by her Christian confession, an impulse supported by her initial work on Flannery O'Connor. O'Connor also stimulated her efforts to combat Gnostic tendencies in Christian practice, tendencies that prefer to see human beings more like disembodied “angels” than embodied and finite. Instead, Christina calls Christians to inhabit their worlds differently—slowly, more appreciative of the mundane, more sensitive to beauty—and the primary way she calls them to do so is through stories. Narratives, she argues in her book Beyond the Story and in her current Henry Center work, invite us into new worlds that are opened to us, calling us to remember the world as enchanted and that times of leisure and non-productivity are not times that are wasted. She concludes with some reflections on how this can be applied in the work of a teacher (and ostensibly beyond), from her book, The Flourishing Teacher. Along the way, listeners will discover…What American fiction author Christina really does not likeThe importance and value of contemplative prayerSome great new poets to readTo find out more about Dr. Christina Bieber Lake, there is no better place than her website. Also check out her profile at the Henry Center, her faculty page at Wheaton, or read one of her many books.

In this episode I talk about my responses to people that have been throwing around the, "So... Afghanistan, huh?". I compare the differences in Japan and Germany becoming democratic after losing wars and Afghanistan after outlasting the Brits, the Soviets, and now US. What American patriotism looked like when I was a kid and my dad left to fight in the Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom as a Marine aviator. I reference a Breaking Points interview with Lucas Kunce, a former Marine officer that discusses some of the lies and disingenuous aspects about U.S. operations in Afghanistan. I also talk about some of my buddy's combat experiences in Afghanistan and some of my experiences on a Joint Special Operations Task Force.

Who came across best in the last Democratic debate? Will Democrats shoot themselves in the foot on the "gun" issue? What American institution was invented by a man from Syria?

During Tom's recent trip to Europe, he stopped in Paris to talk with one of the most innovative, international educators out there; Lower School Director Daniel Kerr, of the American School of Paris. Originally a Canadian, Daniel made the decision to go to College in Maine and take a teaching job in Abu Dhabi. There, he met a Counselor, originally from Nova Scotia, who later became his wife. Together they became hooked on international education and accepted positions at the Jakarta Intercultural School, where they taught at for 7 years. After that, they led a school in Shanghai, Ecuador, and now in Paris, where they currently work.   When asked about his nomadic lifestyle, Daniel replied that he really enjoyed becoming a citizen of the world. He speaks five languages and his kids, who are 10 and 12, have visited a dozen countries. It's safe to say that the Kerr family is hooked on the benefits of international education!   In this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Tom sits down with Daniel to learn more about his life as an international educator, the American School of Paris, Daniel's goals and challenges in international education, and what he thinks all American educators should know about international education.   Key Takeaways: [2:09] Daniel's background: where he went to school, how he got to Abu Dhabi, how he made the move from Abu Dhabi to Jakarta and met his wife, meeting Tim Stuart, his first school leadership role in China, and his move to Ecuador.

This week we're discussing a recently published story from The New Yorker by Curtis Sittenfeld, author of a number of books, including Prep and An American Wife. In "Show Don't Tell," Sittenfeld turns her attentions to a fictionalized version of the Iowa Writers Workshop, and the anxious first-year students who are awaiting decisions on their funding for the next year.  Since both of your Book Fight hosts are Workshop grads, we take a little stroll down memory lane and compare our own experiences with those of the story's characters. Though we also attempt to consider the story on its own merits, and we wonder whether it's one that people outside the writing world would find compelling.  Also: another installment of Millennial M0m3nt. What American industry are the young people killing this week?
