Hitler's rise to power is an interesting part of history. Many wonder how he made it so far without any resistance. In this episode, Fr. Schumacher shares with us how Hitler's rise unfolded and what the dynamic was in Germany in Hitler's coming to power; why Europe didn't resist fast enough; and the cause of Hitler's downfall. Father is one of the best historians we know, and it's always a pleasure having him on the show. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Not many people have spent 3.5 years in the back country: where many modern conveniences exist, yet our guest today, Karl Eby, has immersed in the great outdoors as a way to help reach people that look for a different encounter: usually looking for God. Karl is an instructor for COR Expeditions: an outreach program to bring people closer to our Lord in the outdoors. In this episode, we not only talk about his experience but we also dive into a range of topics from the fragility of society, the principle of subsidiarity, and the philosophy of labor. We hope you enjoy this conversation: we hope to have Karl back on the show soon!

The structure of a society revolves around law, where it is upheld in the courtroom by lawyers presenting a case before a judge and jury. Joseph Phillipps returns to the podcast to share the insider's perspective of being a law student in his second year. The stakes are getting higher as he is now participating in mock trials and learning the skills of making a bomb-proof case. Joe is among the top of his class by diligently working to become the best lawyer he can be, which we discuss is a mindset applicable to almost any undertaking. It's a delight to have Joe back on here for his third appearance on the Green Dragon. We're excited to share this episode with you, and we can't wait to have Joe return for a future conversation.

Dr. Preble joins us on the podcast to discuss a host of topics, from cybersecurity to AI to the value of studying the liberal arts. The liberal arts have usually been disregarded in recent times as unnecessary or unimportant, but maybe it's just because we haven't understood their value.

This last month was one of the most monumental times in history for America and the world as we elected Trump for our 47th president. Dr. Cooper shares with us on how Trump is carrying the mantle of freedom for the Western World, and how he sees Trump's energy as a pro-life force that propels America to an amazing future. We then discuss the end of the Homer's The Odyssey: why did Odysseus take charge the way he did? Why was Penelope patient for her husband? Was Odysseus justified in his actions? We cover these questions and also about the difference between the Western and Eastern Worlds: a distinction you've probably never heard before. It is always a delight to talk with Dr. Cooper, and we can't wait to have him join us again on the Green Dragon Podcast.

It's a pleasure to welcome Chip back on another episode of the 'cast. I'm always so grateful for the opportunity to talk with Chip. Similar to last time, I get to ask him some questions that have been on my mind for a while, and he always does a marvelous job of helping me find the answers. Chip understands many of the nuances of life and knows how to give you the real answers you've been looking for. I learned so much from this conversation, and I hope everyone who listens to it will find some timeless wisdom. Looking forward to having Chip on again soon!

This week, we have none other than Jonathan's brother, Kevin Rensch on the 'cast. Kevin currently works for DARPA and has some very insightful thoughts on how to approach knowledge in searching for the truth. We discuss many topics, from A.I. as a tool for constructing solid arguments of thought to the danger of safetyism. It was really fun having Kevin on, and we can't wait until next time.

We are so excited to welcome Dominick onto the podcast! This is a 'cast you won't want to miss. In this conversation, we talk about life in Emergency Medical Services: what's it like, the mindsets a paramedic and EMT need to have; philosophy: what are the perspectives we should have when understanding life on earth; the ongoing journey of faith where Dominick shares his story; and whether or not prostitution should be legalized and which drugs should be considered to be made legal. Many of these questions really made us think about the proper way to understand reality and possible solutions for many of the problems we see in the world. It was a blast to have Dominick on and we hope we can have him on again soon!
