Coup Save America is a weekly talk show hosted by Sean St. Heart that plants the mental seeds of social change by inciting a politically progressive (peaceful) coup of knowledgeable citizens to challenge the status quo. Each episode focuses on a specific issue, featuring expert guests and interviews with the people who are most affected by the problems in our country. The show uses a sociological approach to raise awareness, ponder solutions, and consider the various perspectives. Coup Save America hopes to create an avenue for our nation to reach its potential for greatness! Coup Save America is a radically left-wing expose on America that uses facts, humor, and intellectual wit to expose the myths surrounding the great western democracy that exists only in the heavily propagandized lore of American history-i-fiction. Each show features in-depth analysis of America’s anti-democratic domestic and foreign policies, a breakdown of the week's news and events that are either ignored or misrepresented by western media, information on the latest crimes emerging from the district of corruption, coverage of the wars and global conflicts being waged unbeknownst to the America people, and a depressingly comedic rundown of the political insanity emanating from both the left and right-wing spectrum.

15 NOV 2025 · When people don’t engage in politics, they are giving those in power permission to do whatever they want. Silence is consent. Sean’s Monologue: Political Polarization and Disillusionment Today, Coup Save America is joined by Carl Able, the founder of Crayon Box Politics - a civic-tech and media initiative dedicated to making political information accessible, transparent, and engaging for the public. Sean and Carl begin the episode with a discussion about what it means to be politically disengaged. Carl draws examples from over two decades of service in the marines to show how participating on a community level can be so much more impactful and fulfilling than putting energy into national politics. Does voting really matter? Carl uses the Trump vs. Harris campaign to assure us that turnout makes all the difference. He and Sean talk about barriers to voting. While reluctant to point fingers, Carl does admit that a certain group of people seems “more oriented on election security as a means of election suppression.” They discuss whether voter fraud is really a problem, how voting should ideally happen, and the opposite messages of 1984 and A Brave New World. Carl and Sean go on to talk about the difficulties of ousting an incumbent local politician. Carl points out the problems that occur when our two-party system “holds a death grip” on the state election board. They talk about the Articles of Federation and how our nation’s founding fathers knew that governance could not always be held at an elite level. Carl points out how the states are now stepping up to balance out the current overstepping of the federal government. The conversation returns to the cost of civic non-participation. We hear about healthy skepticism versus lack of engagement, and Carl tells us how he responds to people who say, “But there’s no candidate on the ballot who aligns with my ideals.” He also dispels the idea that we should simply give up the fight since both parties are corrupt. Carl tell us about politicians, such as Jasmine Crockett, who have gone a long way after starting with very little…and those who have increased their net worth via politics without any intention to fight for the people. Listen to hear about his awesome idea for politician baseball cards. Carl and Sean struggle with the dilemma of maintaining neutrality in today’s ultra-polarized political climate. Carl bemoans how Crayon Box Politics can sometimes come across as partisan because his organization takes “a hardline stance on any policies that are written/enacted in such a way that they infringe on the human rights of any individual.” He uses ICE attacks on undocumented citizens as an example. As the episode continues, Carl tells us about his weekly podcasts and how a little bit of “butt breathing” is a good way to take a break from the stress of current events. They talk about the decline of civil education in school, the No Kings protests, neoliberalism, countering disinformation, and much, much more about the many aspects of voting – including (but not limited to) how the people of Colorado voted to raise taxes so kids could eat, why we use the Australian voting system, and how voters used to get shot for choosing the ‘wrong’ candidate. Carl also shares information about his upcoming project – The Archivist – and AI tool to help with civil engagement. He and Sean talk about campaign finance reform and how information needs to be more accessible to the average user. Carl’s overlying message is one of empathy and caring about issues that don’t directly affect you. He closes the show by telling us what serving in the military taught him about transparency and giving us more information about Crayon Box Politics (including where the name came from).

31 OCT 2025 · We get so committed to what we see as progressivism that we forget the primary stance of what we’re fighting for – what’s the humanity of these people? Sean’s Monologue: What is Misandry? This episode brings us a conversation with Martin Henson, the executive director of the BMEN Foundation and one of the few voices talking about how identity framing within America creates misandry/racism that is specifically targets Black men, separating them from the larger Black community. Martin uses the examples of police violence, the prison industrial complex, and actions of the Trump administration to illustrate his point. Martin shares his views on the Obama administration, both positive and negative, then shines more light on the myth that Black men in the U.S. are hyper-violent and hyper-sexual. Why has this misandry endured for so long? Martin tells us two definitions of male patriarchy and talks about the divestment of Black men and communities through policy. Speaking from his position as an organizer, Martin provides context for Black Lives Matter and shares some criticisms of the movement. He tells us how the post-Obama rise of the conservative far-right actually began in 2008. What did white culture fear so much, and how did this affect the BLM message? Are people burdened with the trifecta of being Black, male, and poor even invited into the spaces that are meant to advocate for their survival? Martin talks about the fallacy of equating comfort with success, warning us that feeling comfortable in a space doesn’t necessarily mean that we are doing something well. Why is anti-Black misandry one area where LGBTQ+ and other diverse communities share equality? Why might a far-right viewpoint become appealing to a Black man? Martin speaks to the responsibilities of being male and stresses the importance of Black men having a space to talk about this reality, so they can be better to themselves and better to the world around them. Listen to learn how and why women have become curators of Black male hardship. And what’s the persistent question that gets asked again and again each political season? Martin tells us how the context of “respectability discourse” has shifted over the decades, then shares his views on why the Internet and social media has made it harder to exist. He talks about Candace Owens and George Floyd, how the alt-right is better than we are at making their message accessible, and how there seems to be a resurgence of each historical cause about every twenty years. Martin and Sean discuss the cultural impact of accepted ideas about how Black men think and feel, and Martin asks why people don’t see Black men as legitimate authors of their own experience. He speaks to the challenges for Black boys in America, restorative justice, and whether Trump has caused a resurgence of racism or is simply allowing us to be what we’ve always been. Martin shares the danger he fears when traversing rural communities. Why does Martin think we have “a hard twenty years ahead of us”? He and Sean talk about the current Democratic establishment, the impact of a third Trump term on political organizers, the importance of churches within our communities, and whether or not the Internet has caused as much harm for social movements as it has good. Martin concludes by telling us about his non-profit, BMEN Foundation.

10 OCT 2025 · What is the cost to the world when we live in a truth created by others? Sean’s Monologue: Charlie Kirk and Domestic Terrorism Today we have a conversation with Bobbi Barrington, an inspiring Australian woman who lived for 26 years in the wrong marriage, 40 years in the wrong career, and 59 years in the wrong body. Bobbi’s goal is to help motivate people to make the positive changes they need in their lives, but what does it take to change and where does change begin? Bobbi is here to guide us on the path to “telling a better story.” Are our life stories true or have we been born into them and embodied them just because they are the stories thrust upon us? It all starts with awareness, so Bobbi begins by talking about self-awareness. She tells us about growing up in a hostile household and the strategies she developed to keep herself safe. Then she shares her journey of self-discovery – allowing her extroverted personality to shine through and giving herself permission to return to childhood and learn to play as an adult. Over the course of this episode, Bobbi teaches us to shift our mindsets from “I can’t” to “I can.” Listen to hear her Michelangelo metaphor, to learn why discomfort is sometimes good, and how to use ChatGPT as a guide to self-discovery. Bobbi also tells us how a “fake” story about yourself can be turned into reality. Bobbi talks about how culture shapes our gender identities. She tells us that many of the changes we make for ourselves transcend gender. After experiencing life from both sides, Bobbi has come up with two simple yet important pieces of advice to offer to men and to women. Sean and Bobbi conclude by discussing the similarities and differences between Australia and the United States in terms of political problems. Bobbi tells us about her personal political views and how her beliefs have been influenced and changed thanks to her international travels. She leaves us with the question – “This belief…does it serve? Am I sure? Am I really sure?” You can Live Your Truth with Bobbi at: http://www.bobbibarrington.com/
17 SEP 2025 · “We can only operate from what we know and what we have. And when we learn something new, we operate from that new place. Judging ourselves backward? Futile, right?” Sean’s Monologue: The Impact of Social Construct Today’s episode features the amazing Dr. Nava Israel, author of the award-winning book CONEtrolled: How We've Lost our Freedom and How to Reclaim It. Nava begins by defining the idea of “core certainties”, a term she herself coined during the conception of her CONE theory. And, would you believe it, they are very much like dog shock collars! Listen to hear why Dr. Israel feels we are teetering on a worldwide tipping point. Next, using religion as an example, Nava talks about how oppressive constructs can fizzle out, but then laments that humanity tends to build new constructs on the ashes of the old ones. Find out Nava’s hope for her book and learn how people often react in their lives after learning the concepts of CONE theory. Nava tells us about the structure of CONES, citing examples, and explains how a person can become their own CONE after internalizing a set of beliefs. We learn what it’s like to discover your own neurodivergent thinking structure later in adulthood, as Nava tells us a little of her life story. Spending her early childhood in the Soviet Union, young Nava avoided indoctrination by simply not buying into the propaganda they fed her in school – as Nava puts it, “people with autism see beyond the bullshit.” Soon after, as an immigrant to Israel, she couldn’t comprehend the country’s strong national pride. As adult – now in Canada – Nava earned her PhD in epidemiology and began to understand more about the patterns she’d been noticing her whole life. Finally, the pieces fell into place and left her with a simple model to share with the world. Sean talks about how Nava’s book has changed the way he sees himself and his own ideas, while Nava disputes the concepts of shame and guilt. She tells us about “social lynching” and “moral homelessness”, then she walks us through each layer that creates a CONE of core certainties. Listen to learn why marriage is a solution to a very persistent problem and how something that is inanimate – a system – can be self-conscious. Sean asks Nava to tell the “Listerine story”, which leads to a discussion of manufactured needs & climate crisis (which is NOT manufactured). Then Nava explains how the illusion of choice creates dependency, using the example of modern medicine. She tells us how CONEs operate and reincarnate with two different types of CONE masters. During this topic, Nava speaks about communism with the authority of a person born in the Soviet Union. As horrible as many aspects of her childhood may have been, she can acknowledge the good features of communism, and she warns us how CONEs can cause harm by promoting a ‘burn it all down’ philosophy, rather than observing, learning, contemplating, and creating something better. Then Nava shares a wonderful story of collaborative and communal living in Sri Lanka. What is the takeaway? How do we change our thinking to create the best solutions to our problems?

13 SEP 2025 · It is a time of unprecedented confusion and chaos in immigration. Where are the oversight agencies that should be enforcing “the rule of law”? Sean’s Monologue: Illegal Detention & Deportation Today Coup Save America invites Andy Semotiuk, a highly experienced immigration attorney, to talk about the deportation debacle that is erupting so fanatically in Trump’s second term. Andy is quick to assure us that the vast majority of immigrants are NOT criminals, but simply people attempting to survive as they escape dire circumstances in their home countries. He explains that the main category of illegal immigrants are folks who have simply overstayed their visitors’ visas. “What I see is martial law in slow motion,” Andy tells us, as he and Sean wonder if all of this immigration chaos is a part of an agenda to prepare for the midterm elections. Andy defines a country’s “rule of law” as “a predictable state of existence in society”, then he goes on to explain the set-up of powers in the United States that is responsible for enforcing this rule of law. Where are the checks and balances now? Andy talks about how attempting to deport a plane full of children in the middle of the night on Labor Day weekend is a litmus test of where our country is trying to take us. Andy goes on to blame the problems in our nation on its disparity of wealth, echoing a common theme of Coup Save America. He wonders why the cluster of “progressive” oligarchs surrounding Trump aren’t calling him out. Wouldn’t it be in their best interest to be leaders in the fight for freedom of speech and liberalism? And has America decided that we no longer need allies? Sean and Andy discuss the culture of fear that keeps everyone quiet, and Andy expresses horror at the recent attacks on our most prestigious educational institutions. They talk about the people who still won’t acknowledge that Trump lost the election in 2020, the tragedies of the Ukraine and Gaza, and if the Democratic Party is complicit in democracy’s decline. Are the people who do speak out being genuine or merely pandering for political leverage? Switching gears, Andy and Sean discuss the general state of America. With his experience living in both CA’s – Canada and California – Andy can speak with authority about the “checkerboard quality” of both education and healthcare in the United States. He feels that we should do better at teaching children to be critical thinkers, we should admit to our mistakes instead of doubling down on stupidity, and we should read more books and listen to fewer podcasts – hypocrisy fully acknowledged! Returning to the show’s main topic, Andy explains to us that the plight of immigration, much like climate change, is a bigger problem than the United States can handle on its own. There is a world refugee crisis, and it requires a world solution. However, Andy feels hopeful about our future. Listen to hear why he has optimism and for his wild guess on when things will get better in the world. Andy talks about why it’s false to believe that illegal residents have no rights, and he tells us that comprehensive immigration reform should be the number one target for Congress. He goes over the problems we currently face when it comes to immigration law, and he gives his recommendations for people who are approached by I.C.E. or the police. We conclude the episode by hearing stories of Andy’s most shocking immigration cases, talking about non-binary and trans immigrants, and discussing the impact of removing temporary protective statuses.

23 AUG 2025 · The truest things that are said today are said by comedians. Sean’s Monologue: Where’s the Democracy? Today on Coup Save America, Sean has a conversation with Paul Greenberg, author of seven books, including the New York Times bestseller Four Fish. Paul’s most recent book, A Third Term is a work of satirical fiction, in which Paul explores what might happen if a sitting president were to finagle an extra four years from the American people – and could this problem be solved by resurrecting George Washington and bringing him to the 21st century? Paul starts by sharing his childhood passion for the environment, which moved him to become an author. His disgust for the theatrics of politics inspired him to make a shift from non-fiction and pen a novel based on the ultimate theatrical president (guess who?). Paul answers the question of why satire is an effective method of making a point. He tells us about his friendship with his cover designer, Barry Blitt, artist of The New Yorker fame. Paul goes on to explain why he chose not to use Trump’s name in A Third Term, although the book’s antagonist is blatantly based on our current president. How does Hollywood contribute to public awareness and opinion? Was the movie Jaws a political allegory? Without revealing the twist ending, Sean and Paul discuss whether the events of A Third Term are really so absurd as to be impossible – aside from resurrecting dead presidents, of course. Paul disagrees with Sean’s belief that America was intentionally built and designed to disenfranchise the poor, and he shares his opinions on the founding father’s potential motives. And what would George Washington have thought about Donald Trump? Is there anything about “the tyrant” that may have impressed him? What’s the deal with presidents who have served in the military vs. those who did not? Paul shares personal stories about other podcast appearances and his work with a non-profit in Russia. He and Sean wonder if Al Franken could have defeated Trump – and was that why he got cancelled? – and they discuss the hypocrisy of the Epstein files controversy. They talk about how politicians use distraction to cover up what really going on (with RFK being one of those distractions), then Paul turns the tables and asks Sean to answer a few questions about his own belief system. Paul tells us what he’s found to be the most surprising thing about the first six months of the second Trump administration, and he shares some interesting ideas about making it illegal to be a lawyer and designing “MAGA goggles.” Then he talks about how autocracies work, using examples from his time in Russia, the book 1984, Croatia, and South Park. Sean and Paul then focus on the story elements of A Third Term. Paul tells us how term limits began in the first place and explains a workaround used in Serbia to bypass term limit laws. He tells a story about bumping in Chuck Schumer one Christmas Eve. Paul asks the question, “Why must our politicians be so darn old?” He and Sean talk about how Zohran Mamdani is actually seeing problems and proposing solutions, and they look again at the debacle of Boomers vs. Millennials and how the latter get a bad rap simply for growing up in a society that worked differently from previous decades. Finally, we listen to an excerpt from A Third Term, and we find out something that Sean has in common with George Washington. Paul talks about how America is in literal physical pain, and what that does to a nation. He discusses the historical and scientific accuracy of his book, and he tells us how AI helped him with the 2024 rewrite. Paul concludes with a brief overview of his previous works, and he promises to come back on the show to discuss other important matters he’s studied.

31 JUL 2025 · “We need human contact to help people succeed.” Sean’s Monologue: Epstein, Espionage, and Inconvenient Truths Today, Coup Save America has a conversation with Lance Hillslinger, a veteran social worker and author of the advocacy books: Build a Better Bridge: Social Policy for the 21st Century and In Place of the Parent: Inside Child Protective Services. The episode begins as Lance describes his career as a Child Protective Services agent in the state of California and shares a bit about how the system works. He talks about how his experiences inspired him to write books that will educate and advocate for change. Lance briefly addresses the Jeffrey Epstein controversy and asks the question, “Where were the parents of the girls on Epstein’s island?” Lance and Sean discuss the correlations between poverty and our country’s various social problems, talk about the governmental standards that define poverty, and decide that the War on Poverty has only made things worse. Lance tells us that the most common reason why children are removed from homes is because their parents neglect to care for them because of drug use. He expresses empathy toward these parents, pointing out the underlying causes of drug addiction, how drugs can alter a parents’ perception of what a child needs, and the roadblocks these parents face while living in poverty, such as the difficulty of securing things like affordable dental care for their children. Do poor people have more children? Why has poverty increased? And is homelessness a gender inequality issue? Lance talks about how our government is “pennywise and pound foolish” when it comes to funding social services. He shares how child support works when the non-custodial parent is low income, goes through the history of social services, then describes the shortages of resources and how the decline in home ownership rates is detrimental to future generations. Lance and Sean go on to discuss the importance of education. What can be done to increase the graduation rate for boys? Would adjusting our methods of teaching English be helpful? Lance shares a couple of cost-free changes that California has made in their school systems to increase attendance and academic success. Sean asks Lance about the intent of the War on Poverty and why it didn’t succeed. They discuss issues such as age-adjusted food stamp benefits, public transportation, job availability, and metrics to measure the success of anti-poverty programs. Lance stresses the importance of the government supporting outdoor recreation and schools doing a better job of encouraging music and sports. Are men being left behind in current society? Gender disparities in education and the work force seem to suggest so. Lance opines on the importance of a social network for parenting, developing morality in kids, and the strengths/weaknesses of Child Protective Services. As always, Sean brings up the Nordic model of social safety, and he and Lance discuss why politicians demonize any systems – working or not – that suggest any level of “socialism.” Could a Universal Basic Income make a difference? Lance points out the misunderstandings and misinformation about welfare programs, and then shares ideas about how to combat chronic unemployment. You can find Lance’s books at: http://lancehillisnger.net/ For every book purchased, Lance donates money to Razom, a humanitarian program in Ukraine.
America's Lost Generation, Millennials, Trade Wars, and the Politics of Survival w/Cameron Lee Cowan
18 JUL 2025 · “Voters are looking for an economy that works. From anyone…even an orange-haired reality host.” Sean’s Monologue: An Empire in Peril Today Sean talks with Cameron Cowan of The Cameron Journal. Cameron is joining us to promote his new book America’s Lost Generation and to discuss various current events. He launches right with telling us how there really is no hope for Millennials, the Americans born between 1980 and 1996. Sean and Cameron discuss the possibility of Social Security collapsing in 2035, micro-transition generations, and how Millennials don’t deserve the bad reputation that the media likes to promote. What will our country look like when all of our politicians are Millennials? Cameron points out that progressives urgently need better PR. As time passes, will they return to center or go for broke? He uses the example of fascist Italy to explain how the right-wing is realigning itself with the economic populist message. Cameron goes on to answer questions about what AI could do to our workforce and whether we can still use the old paradigm to build an economy that works for everyone. He talks about how young men are being left behind in current society…and what the heck is happening now in Japan? Cameron explains how WE are the ones paying the cost of tariffs and tells the story of how America lost its manufacturing power. Could massive government subsidies restore our working force and economy? Learn how the Boomer generation benefited from an older system and how our country accidentally destroyed its own steel industry. Cameron uses the universal healthcare debacle as an example of how we can’t make major changes because just enough Americans are doing okay, so there’s not enough push to upset the apple cart. Just wait until a few more of us hit bottom. Cameron tells us how and why inflation became the biggest issue for the last election, then he talks about the need for progressives to find the right message to make people who are not affected care about social problems. The concept of individual exceptionalism makes it necessary to keep your message “personal and local.” Sean and Cameron discuss the ever-popular topic of corporate influence on elections. Listen to learn what quietly happened during Trump’s first term to help the rich get richer while keeping the poor down in the muck. And how did Joe Biden help facilitate the 2008 financial crisis? Cameron talks about going around state capitals to get things done, how owning assets gets you ahead while labor no longer can, and that crypto currency is a Ponzi scheme that our society embraces out of desperation. Is there anything we can do to save the middle class? Cameron says, “Well, disenfranchise the rich -but good luck with that!” This leads to remembering the revolutions in Russia and France. Cameron tells us about the acute devastation that had to occur before suffering people rose up against the wealthy and reiterates that our system “still works enough” to keep revolution at bay. “The collapse has to get a whole lot more collapse-y,” he explains, but it will happen very soon. Maybe by 2032, the 100th anniversary of America’s last economic upheaval – which was heartbreaking but left us with a functional society in the end. Who will be our next FDR? Could it be Zohran Mamdani? Would the democrats allow that now that the whole party is so gun shy? Cameron talks about the importance of securing the black vote and how leftist progressives should start hobby podcasts so they can slip in political topics. Finally, he ends the episode by sharing his own life story.

11 JUL 2025 · Have you ever noticed how the word “outrage” is so close to the word “outrageous”? Sean’s Monologue: The One Big Ugly Bill Today Coup Save America welcomes Scott Grace – an uplifting song writer, comedian, author, and public speaker. Scott is not on the show to “get political”, but to teach us: “How to Evolve During the Trump Experience Whether Humanity Joins You or Not.” Scott begins with a quick run-through of his life story and how he developed his entertainment (and cop dodging) skills working as a street vender in NYC…which led to him opening as a comedian for the likes of Robin Williams and Dana Carvey. Once a self-proclaimed “MAGA Liberal”, Scott explains his disenchantment with being a member of the “Outrage Olympics” and talks about what inspired him to start his Beyond Red and Blue project, where he blends humor, music, story, and spiritual insight to help people feel less polarized, rise above outrage and reconnect—with themselves and with people with different points of view, and, dare I say it, people who voted differently. Next, Scott tells us how nonviolent communication can be used to address political polarization and reads us a poem by his alter-ego, The Spiritual Dr. Suess. He goes on to talk about two world views – “survival of the fittest” and “we’re all in this together.” And he brings up that dirtiest of words – socialism. Scott believes that outrage without action can be crippling, so what do we actually do with problems like The Big Beautiful Bill. He reminds us about times of change in history and points out how there is opportunity in crisis. Is it time for the American empire to die? Scott tells us his story of meeting a MAGA couple on a plane & what he discovered about them and their hopes for the future. Then he answers Sean’s question about how he remains politically neutral while still honoring his true values. Then Scott brings out his guitar to play a little John Lennon and illustrate how music changed the world back in the 60’s and continues to do so today. There’s a shout out to Randy Rainbow as Scott entertains us with his own satirical cover – what Kenny Loggins’ Danny’s Song would sound like if Donald Trump had written the lyrics. Scott tells us about his career as a musician, doing opening acts for a variety of celebrity public speakers, and in the process learning how to be a public speaker himself. Then Scott needs a bathroom break, so we play the trailer for Beyond Red and Blue. When Scott returns, he and Sean discuss the history of polarization in politics and how to conquer social fears – both real and imagined. Scott uses the example of experiencing No Kings Day in Mexico to describe the power of social action, and when Sean presses him to come up with solutions beyond public protests, Scott plays us an awesome improvised song about Sean and his ideals. One thing Scott learned while working with famous changemakers is that “passion is messy.” Scott tells us about the intuitive training involved in improvised comedy, the effects of AI on the economy, and why speaking with people who are ideologically different has been both encouraging and disheartening. He talks with Sean about wars, people who see Trump as a conduit to destruction, and is it for real that the NYT reports a global trend of less war and poverty? Listen to hear about Scott’s “commit, don’t criticize” philosophy (but don’t commit suicide yet!), his book about mindful masculinity, the takeaway from the emergency meeting Scott attended after Trump’s first presidential victory, and another Suess-esque poem about peace and Trump.

3 JUL 2025 · “From each according to his ability to each according to his need – that’s communism. That’s also a potluck. Sean’s Monologue: The Case Against Capitalism Today Coup Save America talks with Beth Green, a fascinating and intelligent woman who wears the many hats of author, intuitively-guided counselor, teacher, spiritual activist, composer, workshop leader, original thinker, and a catalyst for change. According to Beth, “My life is full of horrors and miracles – there is no in-between.” She introduces herself by sharing her early experiences as a tiny activist, who, despite the setback of a serious illness continued to make political waves throughout her youth. Listen to learn about Beth’s letter to the New York Times that got her expelled from an Ivy League college. Sean and Beth discuss the differences in activism between now and the 1960’s and the stigma associated with the label “socialism.” Beth attests that we are brainwashed from an early age and trained to compete for everything. She explains The Ego – an awareness of the individual existence – and how we must shift our consciousness before we can effectively mobilize for change. We need an inner revolution based on oneness, accountability, and mutual support. Beth sums it all up in one sentence when she says: “The purpose of the economy and society is to meet the needs of the people and the Earth.” Beth talks about “The New Declaration of Independence” that can be found on Change.org and reminds us that it is American to abolish our government. She and Sean talk about how “It’s a lonely soul that’s caught up in competition” and “You cannot clean the air over one home in Los Angeles.” They give a shout out to mutual aid organizations. Beth offers her insight on why people are depressed and explains more about how the ego has an infantile consciousness that needs to be taught better. She speculates with Sean about the positive roles that our egos might play, then she shares a simple question we can ask ourselves to help us make good life decisions. Beth also describes how to truly make an amend to someone you’ve wronged. Beth goes on to explain about the spiritual awakening that completely changed her understanding of a higher power and her approach to activism. Listen to the story of her “inner voice” that even Beth admits that most people will not believe. In the end, she tells us, “Beliefs are just beliefs. They aren’t reality.” A person’s belief system changes as they grow and evolve as a person, and “we co-create reality in a subtle dance of intention and allowance.” How do we build a new consciousness? By talking to everybody and questioning everything, of course! To conclude the show, Beth reminds us that “If you are not well, you don’t think straight – If you’re stressed, then you’re frantic.” She reiterates the many FREE resources that she offers the world for hope, healing, and a path to a better humanity.

Coup Save America is a weekly talk show hosted by Sean St. Heart that plants the mental seeds of social change by inciting a politically progressive (peaceful) coup of knowledgeable citizens to challenge the status quo. Each episode focuses on a specific issue, featuring expert guests and interviews with the people who are most affected by the problems in our country. The show uses a sociological approach to raise awareness, ponder solutions, and consider the various perspectives. Coup Save America hopes to create an avenue for our nation to reach its potential for greatness! Coup Save America is a radically left-wing expose on America that uses facts, humor, and intellectual wit to expose the myths surrounding the great western democracy that exists only in the heavily propagandized lore of American history-i-fiction. Each show features in-depth analysis of America’s anti-democratic domestic and foreign policies, a breakdown of the week's news and events that are either ignored or misrepresented by western media, information on the latest crimes emerging from the district of corruption, coverage of the wars and global conflicts being waged unbeknownst to the America people, and a depressingly comedic rundown of the political insanity emanating from both the left and right-wing spectrum.
