A 20-year-old George Washington crashed a party he wasn't invited to — and walked out with a poem. Judy Hodgkiss on how Alexander Pope's Essay on Man carried Leibniz's ideas from a fugitive English lord into the Declaration of Independence.

A funeral pause answered with burning tankers — and a summit where Europe learned who runs the alliance now. Barbara and Susan on the empire's enforcement arm, the Golden Dome, and the midterm machine. Your questions, answered live.
A closer look at the history of color revolutions, political strategy, election integrity, and the geopolitical forces shaping today's world.
Political movements are often viewed as isolated events, but many share common strategies, institutions, and historical roots that span decades and national borders.
In this Promethean Overview, Mike Steger traces the development of the modern color revolutions, beginning with Gene Sharp's theories of nonviolent political resistance and their application throughout Eastern Europe. The discussion follows these ideas through the Arab Spring, Latin America, and Brazil before examining how similar political dynamics have influenced debates surrounding election integrity, censorship, geopolitical conflict, and the future of democratic institutions in the United States.
Along the way, this episode explores the roles of organizations such as USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy, the evolution of information warfare, shifting alliances throughout the Western Hemisphere, and the growing strategic importance of the 2026 midterm elections.
By connecting historical precedent with current events, this overview seeks to provide a broader framework for understanding the political, cultural, and geopolitical forces shaping the modern world.
