The Green Dragon Podcast

In 1776, the American People made a Declaration that changed the world: We are a Free People. Dr. Pavlos Papadopoulos does a deep dive with us to understand what our Founding Fathers were saying in this document that made history. Dr. Pavlos eloquently articulates what the main arguments of the Declaration mean and how we apply them as the American people. Towards the end of the conversation, we then discuss the tension between Israel and Iran--some fascinating thoughts there. We hope you enjoy this conversation. We can't wait to have Dr. Pavlos back for a future episode.   Green Dragon Media * Website: https://lifelineusa.store/gdm * Follow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod   LifeLineUSA - Website: https://lifelineusa.store/

We're excited to have Deak Dollard join us on the 'cast to chat about his passions and some life stories. Deak has pretty much done it all: smoke-jumping, artist, art teacher, cop, and now works for the Bureau of Land Management as his main job but is a bronze metal sculpture as well! He currently is working on an 16' eagle for a school nearby in Wyoming. Deak shares with us the behind the scenes of what it takes to make a bronze sculpture, which is truly fascinating to learn about. Then, we talk about his days as a smoke-jumper and some of his other many occupations. It was truly a delight to have Deak join us, and we can't wait to have him back on!   Green Dragon Media * Website: https://lifelineusa.store/gdm * Follow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod   LifeLineUSA - Website: https://lifelineusa.store/

Alexander the Great is considered the greatest conqueror in history. He died at 32, but in his short life-span, he had conquerored most of the known world at that point. Fr. Schumacher shares some fascinating aspects of his life and campaigns where we get to learn more about the mindset behind Alexander. After that, we then discuss the first duty of government: establishing and maintaining proper law and order. We dive into what happens in society when the government fails at its primary duty and also about the crazy riots in L.A. It was wonderful as always to have Father join us, and we hope you enjoy this show!   Green Dragon Media * Website: https://lifelineusa.store/gdm * Follow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod   LifeLineUSA - Website: https://lifelineusa.store/

Pope Leo XIV was just elected this past month, with many curious about his choice of the name Leo. Fr. Schumacher joins us to speak about the Leo lineage, which is filled with many historic heroes of the church and for the world as a whole, and shows why Pope Leo XIV may have chosen Leo as his name. We then talk about communism, capitalism, and how making money ethically is a very good thing, and how the economic system is the bedrock of a society. It's always wonderful when Fr. Schumacher comes on the show and we hope you gain a vast understanding of history and fundamental principles.   Green Dragon Media * Website: https://lifelineusa.store/gdm * Follow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod   LifeLineUSA - Website: https://lifelineusa.store/
