Why do some moments define our lives, while others fade away? Join us for an unforgettable episode of the Arterburn Radio Transmission as we explore profound reflections on life, trauma, and resilience. We begin with an evocative reading from Lord Macaulay's "Lays of Ancient Rome," recalling Winston Churchill's powerful recitation of the poem during a cognitive test. This sets the stage for a heartfelt exploration of the impact of 9-11, including personal stories of visiting Ground Zero and participating in the Free World Summit. Discover how the events of that day inspired a journey through military service, powerlifting competitions, and deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, offering profound lessons in endurance and growth.

Ever wondered about the grim realities of survival in extreme situations? This episode dives deep into historical and modern scenarios of wild-crafted meat and even cannibalism, from the harrowing tale of the Donner Party to the desperate measures taken during the Syrian civil war. We then turn our attention to the contentious topic of U.S. immigration policy, dissecting the failures and theatrical actions that have led to a divided society. Our critical analysis points fingers at both political parties and their inability to secure American borders, while also exploring the manipulation of public sentiment through actions like busing immigrants to affluent areas.
