The Boomer Effect

The Boomer Effect with Jerry and Rose

“The Boomer Effect” takes a look at generations that came before and after us in an effort to understand our differences and establish common ground. All durable and long-lasting civilizations have one thing in common; they respect the wisdom of their elders and do not mock it. Yes Boomers made mistakes- but we got a lot right as well. Part of getting it right is extending what we've learned to Generation Z, and Millennials. The great depression gave us a post World War II generation of adults determined to give their children everything that they didn't have. Maybe that was a mistake...

    Capt. Jerry Coffee: Faith Beyond Survival in the Hanoi Hilton

    What gives a man the strength to endure more than seven years as a prisoner of war—and come home with his faith, hope, and love of country intact? In this powerful episode of The Boomer Effect, Jerry and Rose welcome Susan Page Coffee, founder of Beyond Survival and widow of the late Navy Captain Gerald "Jerry" Coffee, one of America's most respected Vietnam POWs. Jerry Coffee spent more than seven years imprisoned in North Vietnam's notorious Hoa Lo Prison—often referred to as the "Hanoi Hilton." Subjected to isolation, torture, and relentless psychological pressure, he discovered a truth that would define the rest of his life: God equals strength. Susan shares the remarkable story of Jerry's captivity, the secret brotherhood forged among American POWs through the famous tap code, the role of faith under unimaginable suffering, and how God transformed the question "Why me?" into the prayer, "Show me." Together, Jerry and Rose explore what "Beyond Survival" really means—not simply enduring hardship, but allowing God to shape suffering into purpose, courage, and hope. As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, this conversation reminds us of the extraordinary price paid by those who defended it and the timeless lessons their lives still teach us today.

    Don’t Give Up: Morality, AI, and the Fight to Stay Human

    Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at a pace fewpeople fully understand. But while much of the public debate focuses on innovation and efficiency, a deeper question is emerging: Who is guiding the moral direction of this technology? In this episode, award-winning educator, filmmaker, and author Kay Rubacek joins the conversation to explore why morality may be the most important thread holding our future together. Prompted by the resignation of AI safety researcher Mrinank Sharma from the AI company Anthropic, Kay discusses growing concerns about what is happening behind closed doors in artificial intelligence development. As AI becomes more integrated into everyday life—from automated content creation to workplace surveillance—the risk may not simply be misuse, but something more subtle: societal apathy toward systems that operate without a human moralcompass. Kay also reflects on history, the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, and the cultural shifts already underway as people begin to reconsider their relationship with technology. The question isn’t just what AI can do.It’s whether humanity will hold on to the moral thread that has guided civilization for generations.https://kayrubacek.substack.com https://www.instagram.com/kayrubacek/ Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com
