The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Cancel culture comes for photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt's famous V-J Day celebration in Times Square following Japan's surrender on August 14th, 1945—ending World War II. The picture, which is often referred to as “The Kiss,” depicts an American sailor kissing a woman, Greta Zimmer Friedman. Leo Shane of The Military Times writes: “Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough is overruling plans to ban the famous Times Square kiss photo marking the end of World War II from all department health care facilities, a move criticized as political correctness run amok. The ban was announced internally at VA medical facilities late last month in a memo from RimaAnn Nelson, the Veterans Health Administration's top operations official. Employees were instructed to ‘promptly' remove any depictions of the famous photo and replace it with imagery deemed more appropriate.” You can read Shane's full article here: https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2024/03/05/va-reverses-plan-to-ban-iconic-wwii-kiss-photo-from-medical-sites/ In a video posted to social media, U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) announced she will not seek re-election this year. With Sinema's exit, the general election will now likely feature Ruben Gallego, a Democrat currently serving in Congress, facing-off against Kari Lake, a Republican, to fill Sinema's seat.   A new poll from The New York Times/Sienna College shows that regardless of race, age, or gender more voters believe that former President Donald Trump's policies benefited them than did President Joe Biden's policies—40% to 18%. Perhaps most concerning for Biden, 43% of voters claim Biden's policies actively hurt them personally—only 25% said the same about Trump. You can read the full article, from Ruth Igielnik and Camille Baker, here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/04/us/politics/trump-biden-policies-help-hurt.html According to the cross-tabs portion of a recent New York Times/Sienna Poll, Donald Trump is projected to win the Hispanic vote outright—45% to 43%. Equally surprising, the poll indicates that if the election were held today, Trump would win 20% of the Black vote—he won only 12% in the 2020 presidential election. You can find more information here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/03/05/us/elections/times-siena-poll-likely-electorate-crosstabs.html While speaking to the press on Tuesday, President Joe Biden was asked if he is concerned by recent polling data suggesting he is trailing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the general election. Biden disagreed with the statement, insisting that most polls have him leading. However, the most notable polls from the last week and a half show: YouGov/CBS News (Trump +4), New York Times/Sienna College (Trump +5), Morning Consult (Trump +2), Morning Consult (Biden +1), Wall Street Journal (Trump +5).

After awkwardly trying to avoid answering how it was possible Biden hadn't met with border patrol leadership even once in over three-years, Kirby eventually gave up and said he didn't have Biden's schedule in front of him. 4:35pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about her recent trip to Japan and Taiwan. How would they react to Chinese aggression in the region, and threats to Taiwan's autonomy specifically?  During the trip, Dr. Coates met with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen, as well as the President-Elect Lai Ching-te. Earlier today, new obstruction of justice charges were filed against Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ)—who has also been accused of conspiring to act as an agent of Egypt. How does Menendez remain on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee given the charges?

CAPT George Galdorisi (USN-Ret.) is a career naval aviator whose thirty years of active duty service included four command tours and five years as a carrier strike group chief of staff. He is currently the Director of Strategic Assessments and Technical Futures at the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific in San Diego, California. He is also a contributing blogger for the Mad Scientist Laboratory, having written Creating a Convergence of Technologies to Defeat the Deadly Fast Inshore Attack Craft Threat Before 2050 and Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Meet Warfighter Needs. CAPT Galdorisi also presented Designing Unmanned Systems For the Multi-Domain Battle (please access this video via a non-DoD network) as a Mad Scientist Speaker Series presentation on 10 January 2018. CAPT Galdorisi began his writing career in 1978 with an article in the U.S. Navy’s professional magazine, U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings. Since then, he has written fifteen books published by mainstream publishers, including the New York Times bestseller, Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor, the novelization of the Bandito Brothers/Relativity Media film, and The Kissing Sailor, which proved the identity of the two principals in Alfred Eisenstaedt’s iconic V-J Day in Times Square photograph. His latest projects include a new series of thrillers published by Braveship books, as well as a recent collaboration with St. Martin’s Press rebooting the Tom Clancy Op-Center series. His three Braveship thrillers are: The Coronado Conspiracy, For Duty and Honor, and Fire and Ice, just released in 2021. The first three books of the rebooted Tom Clancy Op-Center series, Out of the Ashes, Into the Fire, and Scorched Earth are New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher’s Weekly best-sellers. In today’s podcast, CAPT Galdorisi discusses leading edge technologies, man-machine teaming, and algorithms of armageddon. The following bullet points highlight key insights from our interview: All military services must identify the “low hanging fruit” where Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be injected quickly and easily into the operational force. For example, the U.S. Army lost Soldiers on fuel and water resupply convoys during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. AI can be incorporated into logistics platforms, replacing vulnerable human drivers in order to save lives.

Episode 14 is my first in-person episode as lockdown starts to lighten (it also includes my first exclusive....heady times for The Pod!). In this episode I chat with one of my good mates from the advertising industry, Duncan James. He talks about his photography side hustle that started with an impromptu photo of some Mods outside a Greggs in Baker Street, Enfield. Duncs is an Art Director at Havas People and I've worked with him for a lot of my career. As well as being an amazing creative he has a side hustle called Mad Mods and a Camera. We chat over a few drinks in Enfield about this awesome body of work and the importance of this Alfred Eisenstaedt quote: "It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter." For someone who doesn't class himself as a photographer, Duncs sure knows what makes a great photo. His approach to photography is all about documenting. Every photo has a story and that's something extremely relevant to employer marketing photography. Here's his website: http://madmodsandacamera.com/ Thanks for listening.

A famosa foto do marinheiro curvando-se sobre uma mulher para beijá-la foi tirada no dia 14 de agosto de 1945 em plena Times Square. O dia da vitória americana sobre o Japão. O dia oficial do fim da 2ª guerra mundial. As pessoas eufóricas saiam de bares, cafés, restaurantes, comemorando o fim da guerra nas ruas de Nova York. Entre elas estavam os protagonistas da foto. A cena foi registrada pelo fotografo Alfred Eisenstaedt e batizada oficialmente de “Dia da Vitória na Times Square”. Entretanto, apesar de a fotohoje ser reconhecida como uma das imagens mais românticas da História, ela não foi para comemorar uma paixão, foi para comemorar a exaltação e o alívio pelo fim da guerra. O fotografo Alfred, viu, de repente, alguém agarrando algo branco e clicou automaticamente, no momento em que o marinheiro beijou a “enfermeira”. Por muito tempo os personagens da foto permaneceram anônimos, inclusive um para o outro. – Eles não eram amantes, mas completos desconhecidos. Vários anos se passaram até que as verdadeiras identidades de George Mendonsa e Greta Zimmer Friedman, fosse confirmada. Segundo Greta,por anos ela pensou que gostaria de saber o nome daquele marinheiro,que estava “tão feliz com o final da guerra”. Já George o jovem marinheiro que esteve mobilizado no Pacífico durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial confessou que estava celebrando e tinha bebido uma ou outra cerveja a mais. Quando viu a enfermeira passando, não resistiu ao impulso agarrou a moça e a beijou! Ele estava acompanhado de uma moça chamada Rita Petry, que anos mais tarde se tornou sua esposa que assistiu a tudo sorrindo! Greta deixou bem claroque, devido às circunstâncias extraordinárias em que a coisa toda aconteceu, nem passou pela sua cabeça associar a situaçãoa um ato de violência sexual. Em 2012 George e Greta voltaram a se reencontrar no Times Square, em NY, para uma reportagem especial. George e Greta viveram um momento histórico que encheu nosso imaginário com uma deliciosa fantasia de felicidade por 70 anos e permanecerá para sempre imortalizada em nossa memória como um dos momentos mais felizes da história, seja ele romântico ou não.

  Historia detrás de una fotografía En el día de hoy os traemos uno de los podcast más demandados, dónde hablaremos de la mítica foto de: El beso del marinero. Una fotografía icónica repleta de dudas y curiosidades que marcaron un hito en la historia de la fotografía y sirvió de propaganda política para EE.UU A comienzos de agosto de 1945 dos bombas atómicas estadounidenses habían sido lanzadas sobre Japón. Ante semejante demostración de fuerza bruta el país que bombardeó por sorpresa Pearl Harbour tres años antes no tuvo más remedio que rendirse. Estados Unidos había ganado la guerra. El presidente Truman lo anunció a las 7 de la tarde del 14 de agosto en un discurso, pero desde hacía horas el centro de Nueva York estaba repleto de gente con unas enormes ganas de celebrar el fin del conflicto. Desde entonces a esta fecha se la conoce como V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day). Esta es la historia de un beso eterno. El que la enfermera Greta Zimmer Friedman y el marinero George Mendonsa, según su propio relato, se dieron el 14 de agosto de 1945 en Nueva York sin conocerse ni decirse los nombres. La fotografía El momento fue inmortalizado por Alfred Eisenstaedt y Victor Jorgensen desde dos ángulos diferentes. La foto de Alfred Eisenstaedt, la más famosa, fue publicada en la revista Time, mientras que la de Victor Jorgensen, menos conocida, apareció en el New York Times. Actualmente es distribuida por la agencia de fotografía Getty. Por su parte, la foto de Victor Jorgensen puede ser publicada libremente, ya que el negativo pertenece al Gobierno de Estados Unidos. Pues Jorgensen era fotógrafo de la Marina se puede descargar desde aquí https://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww2/photos/images/thumbnails La imagen también tiene un alto valor propagandístico. Pues un beso entre un marinero y una enfermera simboliza el triunfo del trabajo en común que tanto se había fomentado en los Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Según Alfred La fotografía fue totalmente espontánea vio a un marinero que iba besando enfermeras por toda la calle y lo siguió esperó aquel momento, lo retrató y se fue, no preguntó nombres de los implicados: “En Times Square durante el día de la victoria, vi a un marinero a lo largo de la calle que agarraba a todas y cada una de las chicas que se ponían a su alcance. Tanto si pudieran ser su abuela, fueran altas, delgadas o viejas, no hacía distinción. Fui corriendo atrás mirando por encima del hombro con mi Leica pero ninguna de las tomas que hacía me agradaba. De repente, como un destello, vi algo que se me grabó. Me di la vuelta y capturé el momento justo en que el marinero besó a una enfermera. Si ella hubiera llevado un vestido oscuro jamás me habría dado cuenta. Nunca habría disparado la toma, o si el marinero hubiera llevado uniforme blanco, lo mismo. Realicé cuatro tomas. Fue en apenas unos segundos.” Se duda del comportamiento sea casual ya que quedo registrado en la misma publicación de la revista LIFE varias fotografías de marineros besando a enfermeras incluso en este video podemos ver a un marinero besando a varias chicas. Hay fuentes que dicen que el marinero era Glenn McDuffie, el cual murió en 2014, declaró haber sido él quien cambiando de vagón de metro se enteró de la noticia y salió a celebrarlo, encontrándose con una alegre enfermera que al verle tan contento le abrió los brazos y se fundieron en un beso En busca de los personajes Y fue a principios de la década de los años ochenta cuando se empezó a valorizar lo que representaba esta fotografía por lo que se inició la búsqueda de nuevo de la pareja, un marinero y una enfermera que fueron fotografiados en ese momento. Finalmente, se llegó a la identificación exacta: George Mendonsa, marinero en ese tiempo y que posteriormente sería pescador, con una edad actual de 89 años y residente de Rhode Island. La identidad del marinero no estaba nada clara, hasta que pasados los años, George Mendonsa fue tan lejos como para demandar a Life ante la Escuela Naval de Guerra dónde se usó tecnología de escaneo de rostro en 3D para concluir que fue él quién besó a la enfermera. El dijo: “Yo había ido con una amiga (su futura mujer) a un show al Radio City Hall, cuando interrumpieron para decir que la guerra había acabado. Salí fuera, estaba exultante, vi a una enfermera y la besé por pura alegría” El papel protagonista de la mujer está dividido entre dos enfermeras. Una de ellas, Edith Shain, muerta en 2010 a los 91 años, llegó a ser considerada durante años como la auténtica. “Le dejé besarme porque había estado en la guerra”, decía esta profesora de educación infantil de Beverly Hills. La segunda es Greta Zimmer Friedman, según su relato, no supo que la habían fotografíado hasta 20 años después. La segunda es Greta Zimmer Friedman, según su relato, no supo que la habían fotografíado hasta 20 años después. Judía de origen austriaco, sus padres murieron en el Holocausto y ella pisó tierra estadounidense a los 15 años. “De repente, me agarró un marinero. No fue tanto un beso como un acto de celebración: él ya no tenía que volver al Pacífico, al frente donde había combatido. Me tomó en brazos porque me vio vestida como una enfermera y estaba agradecido a todas las enfermeras. No fue algo romántico, sino una forma de decir: ‘Gracias a Dios, la guerra ha terminado”. El relato de la fotografía es el de una casualidad. Zimmer, que en realidad era asistente dental, siempre contó que salió de la clínica aquel 14 de agosto para comprobar si era verdad lo que había escuchado en el trabajo. Muy cerca de su oficina, en Times Square, en pleno corazón de Manhattan, halló la respuesta. La algarabía reinaba. Los cárteles luminosos, como recordaría años más tarde, parpadeaban con frenesí. La propia Friedman explicó antes de morir que Mendonsa la agarró y la besó sin que ella pudiera reaccionar. Además, Mendonsa estaba ebrio. Terminado su trabajo de asistenta dental, dio rienda suelta a sus pasiones: obtuvo una licenciatura en artes, tuvo dos hijos y al final de sus días se dedicó a restaurar libros. A los 92 años, con la cadera rota, osteoporosis avanzada y una neumonía fulminante, falleció en Virginia Greta Zimmer. Por segunda vez, moría la protagonista del beso eterno. El Proyecto de Memoria Histórica de los Veteranos de la II Guerra Mundial la entrevistó como tal y ahí la antigua asistente dental pudo dar su versión completa. Pero el mayor impacto procedió del libro El marino que besaba: el misterio detrás de la fotografía que puso fin a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En esta investigación, publicada en 2012, Lawrence Verria and George Galdorisi, tras recoger infinitud de testimonios e indicios, entre ellos la estatura y el pelo, destronaban a Shain y daban el reconocimiento a Greta Zimmer. También jugó a favor el reencuentro en 2012 de ambos ancianos en Times Square. Curiosidades Una copia positivada a partir del negativo original y firmada por Eisenstaedt se vendió en 2013 por 24.000 euros. Gloria Delaney, una enfermera de 19 años que aparece tras la pareja en la foto de Victor Jorgensen. En el New York Times narró hace unos años como vivió aquel histórico momento. Los científicos Donald Olson y Russell Doescher ,reconstruyeron a escala los edificios de Times Square allá por el 1945 y utilizaron un espejo para proyectar los rayos del sol. Hasta que el modelo correspondió perfectamente con las sombras de la fotografía. afirma que el famoso beso se produjo a las 17:51 horas. Faltaba algo más de una hora para que Truman hiciera oficial el anuncio de la rendición japonesa.
