In this powerhouse edition of The RattlerGator Report, J.B. White returns from South Carolina with fire in his voice and a deep reflection on the historic week that just unfolded. He zeroes in on President Trump's royal reception in Saudi Arabia, calling it a “coronation” that solidified Trump not just as a national leader, but as the global symbol of power. With sabers raised and golden carpets rolled out, the Arabian world declared what few dare say out loud: Trump is the true President of the world. J.B. weaves history, culture, and personal conviction into a sweeping analysis of Trump's speech in Riyadh, comparing it to his iconic 2017 Warsaw address. He explains how Trump's approach, grounded in “commerce, not chaos,” “peace through strength,” and “regions of responsibility and cooperation”, signals a seismic shift away from neocon globalism toward mutual respect and sovereignty. From reflections on Anwar Sadat and Prince Bandar to thoughts on China's internal struggle and RFK Jr.'s rising influence, this episode covers it all. Bold, soulful, and unapologetically pro-America, J.B. reminds us that we're witnessing the rebirth of U.S. leadership, and that Trump isn't just playing politics. He's rewriting the global script.

Jimmy Carter was born in Plains, Georgia on October 1, 1924. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy and serving in the Navy, he returned to his home state, where in 1971 he was elected governor. He became president of the United States in 1977 and remained in office until 1981. His legacy on matters relating to the U.S.-Israel relationship is ambiguous and contested. He famously presided over the Camp David Accords, signed by the Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and the Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin in 1978 and 1979. This peace agreement with the very country that had been Israel's most dangerous military adversary for the first three decades of its existence has been rightly celebrated as a monumental diplomatic accomplishment. Some historians, including today's guest, see it however as primarily an accomplishment of Sadat and Henry Kissinger, the powerful secretary of state under Presidents Nixon and Ford, Carter's predecessors. But the image of President Carter and his aides playing chess and secretly negotiating with the Israelis and Egyptians late into the night at Camp David continues to hold a powerful grip on the popular imagination. When Carter was defeated in the presidential election of 1980 by Ronald Reagan, he became a very young former president. Over the next four-plus decades, he would write distorted, savage, strange, tortured books about Israel and the Palestinians, finding virtually everything about Jewish sovereignty and the defense it requires repugnant. President Carter was a devout Baptist, and he often criticized Israel and its leaders in theological terms. On today's podcast, we look back on President Carter's view of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and how he understood the essential qualities of the Jewish state. To discuss this topic we have invited the historian and analyst Michael Doran, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East. The background to this conversation is Doran's 2018 essay “The Theology of Foreign Policy,” which appeared in First Things magazine. Therein, Doran argues that in order to understand American views about Israel, you have to understand the deeper theological argument inside American Protestantism between modernist and fundamentalist approaches to Scripture. (Doran discussed this topic on the August 10, 2018 episode of the Tikvah Podcast at Mosaic). This week, he applies this framework to the presidency and post-presidency of Jimmy Carter.

The former president's post-presidential legacy has had a lasting impact on today's Middle East. President Carter was known for brokering the Egypt-Israel peace treaty between Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin, which has lasted over four decades. However, he was also the first national leader of his stature to openly embrace Hamas, to accuse Israel of “apartheid”, and to legitimize Hamas's slaughtering of Jews through suicide bombings and other forms of terrorism, during and following the Second Intifada. How did President Carter go from an engaged diplomat working for peace between Israel and Egypt to championing Hamas and its narrative of Israeli “apartheid”? To discuss the paradox of President Carter when it comes to Israel, and his impact on current day events in the Middle East, our guest is Ken Stein. Dr. Kenneth W. Stein was a close confidante of President Carter's, with whom he co-authored books and papers on the Middle East. Ken ran The Carter Center at Emory University, where he was also the Middle East Fellow. He also ran the Israel Studies Department at Emory. He has published numerous books and scholarly articles. “Making Peace Among Arabs and Israelis: Lessons from Fifty Years of Negotiating Experience”, authored by Ken: https://www.amazon.com/Making-peace-among-Arabs-Israelis/dp/B002X78MGW Book discussed in this episode: https://tinyurl.com/4h7pmwzf Recent article by Ken Stein: https://m.jpost.com/international/article-835320
Den 29 oktober 1956 inledde Israel en invasion av Sinaihalvön. Detta var en förevändning för Storbritannien och Frankrike att ingripa militärt. De krävde att både Egypten och Israel skulle dra sig tillbaka från kanalen, samtidigt som de attackerade egyptiska mål.USA och Sovjetunionen fördömde attacken. President Eisenhower vägrade stödja sina allierade och krävde ett eldupphör. FN:s generalförsamling röstade för att skicka en fredsbevarande styrka. Under ekonomiska och diplomatiska påtryckningar tvingades angriparna dra sig tillbaka i december.Detta är det andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu om Suezkrisen där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med idéhistorikern Klas Grinell som är aktuell med boken Suezkrisen.Den 29 oktober 1956 inledde Israel sin invasion av Sinaihalvön. Operationen, kallad "Kadesh", syftade till att återöppna Tiransundet och Aqabaviken. Israeliska fallskärmsjägare landade nära Mitlapasset, vilket markerade början på en snabb framryckning. Två dagar senare anslöt sig brittiska och franska styrkor till offensiven.Striderna intensifierades snabbt. Israeliska styrkor avancerade genom Sinai, medan brittiska och franska trupper landade vid Port Said och Port Fuad för att ta kontroll över Suezkanalen. Egyptens president Nasser svarade med att blockera kanalen genom att sänka 40 fartyg.Konflikten mötte omedelbart internationellt motstånd. USA:s president Eisenhower och Sovjetunionens ledare Chrusjtjov fördömde invasionen. Under intensivt diplomatiskt tryck, särskilt från USA, tvingades de invaderande styrkorna snart att dra sig tillbaka. En FN-ledd fredsbevarande styrka (UNEF) sattes in för att övervaka tillbakadragandet och upprätthålla freden.Under starka ekonomiska och diplomatiska påtryckningar tvingades angriparna dra sig tillbaka. I december 1956 lämnade de sista brittiska och franska trupperna Egypten. Israel drog sig tillbaka från Sinai i mars 1957.Suezkrisen blev en diplomatisk seger för Nasser och Egypten. Nasser framstod som en hjälte i arabvärlden för att ha stått emot de gamla kolonialmakterna. Den visade också USA:s växande inflytande i Mellanöstern på bekostnad av de gamla kolonialmakterna. Suezkrisen markerade slutet på Storbritanniens och Frankrikes roll som stormakter.Bild: Premiärminister Gamal Abdel Nasser och några medlemmar av RCC (Revolutionära kommandorådet) välkomnas av jublande folkmassor i Alexandria efter undertecknandet av ordern om brittiskt tillbakadragande.

Candyman and Cultural Contradictions: Grateful Dead's Egypt AdventureIn this episode of the Deadhead Cannabis Show, host Larry Mishkin highlights two key topics: a favorite Grateful Dead show and his recent experiences at Goose concerts. First, Larry talks about an iconic Grateful Dead concert that took place on September 16, 1978, at the Sun et Lumiere Theater in Giza, Egypt, near the pyramids and the Sphinx. This event is special not just for its unique location but also for featuring collaborations with Egyptian musician Hamza El Din, who joined the Dead for a jam session. The Egypt shows are remembered for their blend of American rock and ancient Egyptian culture, marking a historic moment in music history.Larry also reflects on the song "Candyman" by the Grateful Dead, exploring its themes of melancholy and contradiction within the counterculture of the 1960s. He discusses how the song portrays a sympathetic yet flawed character, and how it resonates with the complex dynamics of that era, blending elements of peace, revolution, and criminality.Switching gears, Larry shares his recent experiences attending two Goose concerts in Chicago. He highlights Goose's cover of Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights" and talks about the band's growing popularity. Larry attended the concerts with family and friends and praises the outdoor venue in Chicago, noting its impressive atmosphere and the city's skyline as a backdrop. He fondly recalls his connections to Bob Seger's music from his youth and marvels at how younger bands like Goose continue to bring classic rock into their performances. Grateful DeadSeptember 16, 1978 (46 years ago)Son Et Lumiere Theater (aka Sphinx Theatre)Giza, EgyptGrateful Dead Live at Sphinx Theatre on 1978-09-16 : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive Giza (/ˈɡiːzə/; sometimes spelled Gizah, Gizeh, Geeza, Jiza; Arabic: الجيزة, romanized: al-Jīzah, pronounced [ald͡ʒiːzah], Egyptian Arabic: الجيزةel-Gīza[elˈgiːzæ])[3] is the third-largest city in Egypt by area after Cairo and Alexandria; and fourth-largest city in Africa by population after Kinshasa, Lagos, and Cairo. It is the capital of Giza Governorate with a total population of 4,872,448 in the 2017 census.[4] It is located on the west bank of the Nile opposite central Cairo, and is a part of the Greater Cairo metropolis. Giza lies less than 30 km (18.64 mi) north of Memphis (Men-nefer, today the village of Mit Rahina), which was the capital city of the unified Egyptian state during the reign of pharaoh Narmer, roughly 3100 BC. Giza is most famous as the location of the Giza Plateau, the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including a complex of ancient Egyptian royal mortuary and sacred structures, among which are the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples. Giza has always been a focal point in Egypt's history due to its location close to Memphis, the ancient pharaonic capital of the Old Kingdom. Son et lumière (French pronunciation: [sɔ̃n e lymjɛʁ] (French, lit. "sound and light")), or a sound and light show, is a form of nighttime entertainment that is usually presented in an outdoor venue of historic significance.[1] Special lighting effects are projected onto the façade of a building or ruin and synchronized with recorded or live narration and music to dramatize the history of the place.[1] The invention of the concept is credited to Paul Robert-Houdin, who was the curator of the Château de Chambord in France, which hosted the world's first son et lumière in 1952.[1] Another was established in the early 1960s at the site of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a star attraction in Egypt, the pyramids of Giza offer a completely different experience at night, when lasers, lights, and visual projections bring their history to life. Here's how to visit the pyramids after dark. The sound and light show at Giza takes place every night for 55 minutes by the Great Sphinx of king Kephren, it is a laser show with history narration of your own language. Kyle FitzgeraldThe National Standing under a total lunar eclipse at the foot of ancient power by the Great Pyramid, the Grateful Dead were concluding the final show of their three-night run at the Sound and Light Theatre in Giza in 1978.His hair in pigtails, guitarist Jerry Garcia wove the outro of the percussive Nubian composition Olin Arageed into an extended opening of Fire on the Mountain. “There were Bedouins out on the desert dancing … It was amazing, it really was amazing,” Garcia said in a 1979 radio interview. The September 14-16 shows in Giza were the ultimate experiment for the American band – the first to play at the pyramids – known for pushing music beyond the realms of imagination. And just as the Grateful Dead were playing in the centre of ancient Egypt, a landmark peace treaty was being brokered in the US that would reshape geopolitics in the Middle East. For as the Grateful Dead arrived in Egypt as cultural ambassadors, on the other side of the world US president Jimmy Carter had gathered his Egyptian counterpart Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin to broker the Camp David Accords that led to an Egyptian-Israeli peace settlement. “No show that they have ever done has the international significance of their three performances in Egypt,” said Richard Loren, the Grateful Dead's manager from 1974-1981. “When we left the stage on the last show, everybody was high on acid, and the first news that came on: They signed the Camp David agreement. Sadat, Begin and Carter signed the agreement in Camp David. This happened during those three days.” Loren, who produced the shows, credited his friendship with Jefferson Airplane vocalist Marty Balin, who had a keen interest in Egypt, for developing his own fascination with the country. “The lead singer for Jefferson Airplane is the seed that resulted in the Grateful Dead playing in Egypt,” he said. Loren recalled riding a camel around the pyramid site during a three-week visit in 1975. To his right were the pyramids. In front of him, the Sphinx. “And I look down and I see a stage, and a light bulb went off in my head immediately. The Grateful Dead ought to play in Egypt,” he said. Loren, associate Alan Trist and Grateful Dead bass player Phil Lesh formed a scouting committee that would be responsible for liaising with American and Egyptian officials, Secret Service members and Egyptian first lady Jehan Sadat to allow the Grateful Dead to play in front of the pyramids. After the mission to the proposed site, meetings in Washington and Egypt, discussions with government officials and a party for the consulate, the band still needed to convince officials the purpose of the show was to make music – not money. And so the Dead paid their own expenses and offered to donate all the proceeds.Half would be donated to the Faith and Hope Society – the Sadats' favourite charity – and the other to Egypt's Department of Antiquities. “It was a sales pitch by the three of us – Alan, Richard and Phil,” Loren said. A telegram was sent on March 21, 1978, confirming the Grateful Dead would perform two open-air shows at the Sound and Light in front of the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. They would go on to play three shows. Describing the planning, bassist Phil Lesh said, "It sort of became my project because I was one of the first people in the band who was on the trip of playing at places of power. You know, power that's been preserved from the ancient world. The pyramids are like the obvious number one choice because no matter what anyone thinks they might be, there is definitely some kind of mojo about the pyramids."[11]Rather than ship all of the required sound reinforcement equipment from the United States, the PA and a 24-track, mobile studio recording truck were borrowed from the Who, in the UK. The Dead crew set up their gear at the open-air theater on the east side of the Great Sphinx, for three nights of concerts. The final two, September 15 & 16, 1978, are excerpted for the album. The band referred to their stage set-up as "The Gizah Sound and Light Theater". The final night's performance coincided with a total lunar eclipse. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann played with a cast, having broken his wrist while horseback riding. The King's Chamber of the nearby Great Pyramid of Giza was rigged with a speaker and microphone in a failed attempt to live-mix acoustical echo.[12] Lesh recalled that through the shows he observed "an increasing number of shadowy figures gathering just at the edge of the illuminated area surrounding the stage and audience – not locals, as they all seem to be wearing the same garment, a dark, hooded robe. These, it turns out, are the Bedouin, the nomadic horsemen of the desert: drawn in by the music and lights... each night they have remained to dance and sway rhythmically for the duration of the show."[13] Kreutzmann recalls "Egypt instantly became the biggest, baddest, and most legendary field trip that we took during our entire thirty years as a band... It was priceless and perfect and, at half a million dollars, a bargain in the end. Albeit, a very expensive bargain."[14] The concerts weren't expected to be profitable (proceeds were donated to the Department of Antiquities and a charity chosen by Jehan Sadat). Costs were to be offset by the production of a triple-live album; however, performances did not turn out as proficient as planned, musically, and technical problems plagued the recordings.[10] The results were shelved as the band focused instead on a new studio album, Shakedown Street. INTRO: Candyman Track #3 2:54 – 4:50 From Songfacts: the American Beauty album is infused with sadness. Jerry Garcia's mother was still seriously injured and her still fate uncertain following an automotive accident, while Phil Lesh was still grieving his father's passing. The melancholic aura comes through in "Candyman" as much as any other song on the album.The effect of the melodic sadness on the song's context is interesting, to say the least. It makes everything about the candyman character in the song seem sympathetic, when the lyrics suggest that he is anything but. Dead lyricist Robert Hunter said he certainly didn't resonate with the character's penchant for violence (more on that below).The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang defines the term "candyman" primarily as a drug dealer and secondarily as a man who is lucky in general and lucky with women in particular. The latter version seems to fit better with the song, as the character announces his arrival to all the women in town and tells them they ought to open their windows (presumably to let him in). While there's no evidence to suggest that Hunter was getting at anything too deep with the song, "Candyman" does provide an interesting perspective on the contradictions of the 1960s counterculture. Mixed in with all the peaceniks and flowers were hard-drug pushers, violent revolutionaries, and common criminals. By 1970, this stew had long since become so mixed-up that its attendant parts could no longer be cleanly extracted from each other. The fact that American Beauty came out in the midst of the Manson Family "hippie cult killings" trial says just about all that needs to be said about the complicated reality that had arisen out of the 1960s counterculture.Beyond all that, though, the outlaw song that romanticizes criminality is a long-held and cherished tradition in American music. With American Beauty, Jerry Garcia wanted the Dead to do something like "California country western," where they focused more on the singing than on the instrumentation. So the sang Hunter's lyrics: Good mornin', Mr. BensonI see you're doin' wellIf I had me a shotgunI'd blow you straight to HellThis is an oddly violent line for a song by the Grateful Dead, who sought to embody the '60s peace-and-love ethos about as sincerely and stubbornly as any act to come out of the era. It always got a raucous applause from the audience, too, which seems equally incongruous with the Deadhead culture.Hunter was bothered by the cheers. In an interview published in Goin' Down the Road by Blair Jackson (p. 119), he brings this phenomenon up when asked if any of his songs has been widely misinterpreted. He mentions that he had first witnessed an audience's enthusiastic response to violence while watching the 1975 dystopian film Rollerball and "couldn't believe" the cheers.Hunter tells Jackson that he hopes fans know that the perspective in "Candyman" is from a character and not from himself. He stresses the same separation between himself and the womanizer in "Jack Straw." As far as the Mr. Benson in "Candyman," David Dodd in the Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics makes a great case for that being Sheriff Benson from Leadbelly's "Midnight Special" (who may very well have been based on a real sheriff). If true, this might place "Candyman" in Houston, Texas (though Hunter might not have had anything so specific in mind). Almost always a first set song. Often featured in acoustic sets, back in the day. This version features this awesome Garcia solo that we were listing to. Maybe he was inspired by the pyramids or whatever magical spirits might have come out from within to see this American band the Grateful Dead. Hopefully, it made those spirits grateful themselves. Played: 273First: April 3, 1970 at Armory Fieldhouse, Cincinnati, OH, USALast: June 30, 1995 at Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA, USA SHOW No. 1: Hamza El Din Track #10 7:30 – 9:00 Hamza El Din (Arabicحمزة علاء الدين) (July 10, 1929 – May 22, 2006) was an Egyptian Nubian composer, oudplayer, tar player, and vocalist. He was born in southern Egypt and was an internationally known musician of his native region Nubia, situated on both sides of the Egypt–Sudan border. After musical studies in Cairo, he lived and studied in Italy, Japan and the United States. El Din collaborated with a wide variety of musical performers, including Sandy Bull, the Kronos Quartet and the Grateful Dead. His performances attracted the attention of the Grateful Dead, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan in the 1960s, which led to a recording contract and to his eventual emigration to the United States. In 1963, El Din shared an apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area with folk musician Sandy Bull. Following his appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964, he recorded two albums for Vanguard Records, released 1964–65. His 1971 recording Escalay: The Water Wheel, published by Nonesuch Records and produced by Mickey Hart, has been recognized as one of the first world music recordings to gain wide release in the West, and was claimed as an influence by some American minimalist composers, such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley, as well as by Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart.[1] He also performed with the Grateful Dead, most famously during their Egypt concerts of 1978. During these three shows, Hamza El Din, performed as a guest and played his composition "Ollin Arageed" He was backed by the students of his Abu Simbel school and accompanied by the Grateful Dead. After Egypt, hamza el din played with the dead in the U.S. On October 21st, back in 1978, the Grateful Dead were in the midst of wrapping up a fiery five-night run at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. This string of shows was particularly special for the band, as they marked the first shows played by the Dead following their now-legendary performances near the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt a month prior. n an effort to bring their experiences in Northern Africa home with them to share with their fans, the Dead's '78 Winterland run saw sit-ins by Egyptian percussionist, singer, and oud player Hamza El Din. On October 21st, El Din opened the show solo, offering his divine percussion before the Grateful Dead slowly emerged to join him for an ecstatic rendition of “Ollin Arageed”, a number based off a Nubian wedding tune, before embarking on a soaring half-acoustic, half-electric jam, that we will get to on the other side of Music News: MUSIC NEWS: Lead in music: Goose — "Hollywood Nights" (Bob Seger) — Fiddler's Green — 6/8/24 (youtube.com) 0:00 – 1:10 Goose covering Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band's Hollywood Nights, this version from earlier this year but Goose did play it Friday night in Chicago at the Salt Shed's Festival stage outside along the Chicago river with the Skyline in the background. Very impressive. "Hollywood Nights" is a song written and recorded by American rock artist Bob Seger. It was released in 1978 as the second single from his album, Stranger in Town. Seger said "The chorus just came into my head; I was driving around in the Hollywood Hills, and I started singing 'Hollywood nights/Hollywood hills/Above all the lights/Hollywood nights.' I went back to my rented house, and there was a Time with Cheryl Tiegs on the cover...I said 'Let's write a song about a guy from the Midwest who runs into someone like this and gets caught up in the whole bizarro thing.'" [1] Seger also said that "Hollywood Nights" was the closest he has had to a song coming to him in a dream, similar to how Keith Richards described the riff to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" coming to him in a dream. Robert Clark Seger (/ˈsiːɡər/SEE-gər; born May 6, 1945) is a retired American singer, songwriter, and musician. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded with the groups Bob Seger and the Last Heard and the Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s, In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet (1976), recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger's best-selling singles and albums. A roots rock musician with a classic raspy, powerful voice, Seger is known for his songs concerning love, women, and blue-collar themes, and is one of the best-known artists of the heartland rock genre. He has recorded many hits, including "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "Mainstreet", "Still the Same", "Hollywood Nights", "Against the Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame on the Moon", "Roll Me Away", "Like a Rock", and "Shakedown", the last of which was written for the 1987 film Beverly Hills Cop II and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also co-wrote the Eagles' number-one hit "Heartache Tonight", and his recording of "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. Which leads us to: Goose plays three nights in Chicago: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night at the Salt Shed. I caught the Thursday and Friday show. Went with my wife on Thursday and hung out with good friends John and Marnie, her brothers Rick and Joel, Stephan and others. Friday with my son Daniel and good buddy Kevin who got us rock star parking and even more impressively killer seats dead center at the bottom of the grandstands in the back of the floor, a few feet off the floor and dead center so we could see everything, hear everything and have a place to sit and rest for a few minutes when needed. I have to say, I've now seen Goose five times and enjoy them more and more. Great musical jams, great light show, lots of good energy from the band and the fans. Rick Mitoratando is a first class guitartist and singer, Peter Anspach on keyboard and guitar and vocals, Jeff Arevalo, percussionist, Trevor Weekz on bass and newcomer, Cotter Ellis on drums, replacing original drummer, Ben Askind. Began playing in 2014 in Wilton Connecticut so this is their 10 year and they are just getting stronger. They really love what they do and its shows in their live performances. Great set lists in Chicago: Thursday night they were joined on stage by Julian Lage, a jazz composer and guitarist for the last two songs of the first set, A Western Sun and Turned Clouds. If you have not yet seen Goose you need to see Goose. Soon. Jane's Addiction Concert Ends Abruptly After Perry Farrell Punches Dave Navarro Onstage 3. Jane's Addiction Offer ‘Heartfelt Apology' for Fight, Cancel Sunday's Show Phish announce 3 night run in Albany Oct. 25 – 27 to benefit Divided Sky Foundation A residential program for people recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. The Divided Sky Foundation, a 46-bed nonprofit recovery center spearheaded by Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, will be an abstinence-based, nonmedical residence, one of the first ofits kind in Vermont. The Divided Sky Foundation is a charitable nonprofit founded by Anastasio; it purchased the Ludlow location to create a substance-use disorder treatment center back in 2021. Anastasio, Phish's lead guitarist and vocalist, has dealt publicly with his own drug and alcohol use and later sobriety, a journey that brought him under the supervision of drug court in Washington County, New York, in the mid-2000s. There, he met Gulde, who worked in the court system at the time, and the two have stayed friends since. Together, Gulde and Anastasio used their personal experiences with treatment facilities to implement a vision for the Ludlow space, she said. Very cool organization, deserves everyone's support. Trey turned it around which is why he is now 5 years older than Jerry was when he died in 1995 and Trey and Phish are just getting stronger and stronger. SHOW No. 2: Ollin Arageed Track #11 13:10 – 14:42 Musical composition written by Hamza El-Din. He and members of the Abu Simbel School of Luxor choir opened the shows with his composition Olin Arageed on nights one and two, and opened set two of night three with the song as well. Joined on stage by the band. Fun, different and a shout out to the locals. The Dead played it a few more times with Hamza and then retired it for good. SHOW No. 3: Fire On The Mountain Track #12 13:00 – end INTO Iko Iko Track #13 0:00 – 1:37 This transition is one of my all time Dead favorites. Out of a stand alone Fire (no Scarlet lead in) into a sublime and spacey Iko Iko.

But did not have a chance to feature any of his tunes last week. This one is a natural for our show. This song is from Kush & Orange Juice (stylized as Kush and OJ) is the eighth mixtape by American rapper Wiz Khalifa. It was released on April 14, 2010, by Taylor Gang Records and Rostrum Records. Kush & Orange Juice gained notoriety after its official release by making it the number-one trending topic on both Google and Twitter.[1] On the same day, a link to the mixtape was posted for download on Wiz's Twitter.[2] The hashtag#kushandorangejuice became the number-six trending topic on the microblogging service after its release and remained on the top trending items on Twitter for three days.[ 1.

U.S. Marijuana Consumers Have Spent More Than $4.1 Billion On Pre-Rolled Joints In The Past Year And A Half, Industry Report Finds SHOW No. 4: Sunrise Track #162:08 – 3:37 Grateful dead song written, music and lyrics by Donna Jean Godchaux. Released on Terrapin Station album, July 27, 1977 There are two accounts of the origins of this song, both of which may be true. One is that it is about Rolling Thunder, the Indian Shaman, conducting a ceremony (which certainly fits with many of the lyrics). The other is that it was written by Donna in memory of Rex Jackson, one of the Grateful Dead's crew (after whom the Rex Foundation is named). The song is about a Native American medicine man named Rolling Thunder, who spent a lot of time with the Dead."'Sunrise' is about sunrise services we attended and what Rolling Thunder would do," Godchaux said on the Songfacts Podcast. "It's very literal actually. Rolling Thunder would conduct a sunrise service, so that's how that came about."Donna Jean Godchaux wrote this song on piano after Jerry Garcia asked her to write a song for the Terrapin Station album. She said it just flowed out of her - music and lyrics - and was one of the easiest songs she ever wrote.The drumming at the end of the song was played by a real medicine man. "We cut it in Los Angeles, and he came and brought the medicine drum, so what you hear on the end is the real deal," Godchaux told Songfacts. "It was like a sanctuary in that studio when he was playing that. It was very heavy." It was played regularly by the Grateful Dead in 1977 and 1978 (Donna left the band in early 1979).This version is the last time the band ever played it. Played: 30 timesFirst: May 1, 1977 at The Palladium, New York, NY, USALast: September 16, 1978 at the Pyramids, Giza Egypt OUTRO: Shakedown Street Track #17 3:07 – 4:35 Title track from Shakedown Street album November 8, 1978 One of Jerry's best numbers. A great tune that can open a show, open the second set, occasionally played as an encore, but not here. It is dropped into the middle of the second set as the lead in to Drums. This is only the second time the song is played by the band. Played: 164 timesFirst: August 31, 1978 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO, USALast: July 9, 1995 at Soldier Field, Chicago, IL – opened the second set, the final set of music ever performed by the band.

In questo podcast – secondo episodio della docuserie “Il Mossad. Successi e fallimenti del più grande e temuto servizio segreto al mondo” – l'analista strategico Gianluca Ansalone (Docente di Geopolitica al Campus Biomedico di Roma-Università di Roma Tor Vergata) racconta la Guerra del Kippur. La Guerra dello Yom Kippur, quarta guerra arabo-israeliana, iniziata da Egitto e Siria il 6 ottobre 1973, nel giorno sacro ebraico dello Yom Kippur e durante il Ramadan, durò fino al 26 ottobre 1973. Il conflitto finì per coinvolgere sia gli Stati Uniti che l'Unione Sovietica in un confronto indiretto in difesa dei rispettivi alleati. Fu lanciata con l'obiettivo diplomatico di convincere un castigato – anche se ancora imbattuto – Israele a negoziare condizioni più favorevoli ai Paesi arabi. La precedente guerra arabo-israeliana, la Guerra dei Sei Giorni (1967), in cui Israele aveva conquistato e occupato territori arabi tra cui la Penisola del Sinai e le Alture del Golan, era stata seguita da anni di scontri sporadici. Anwar Sadat, divenuto presidente dell'Egitto poco dopo la fine della Guerra di logoramento (1969-70), fece delle proposte per raggiungere un accordo pacifico se, in conformità con la Risoluzione 242 delle Nazioni Unite, Israele avesse restituito i territori conquistati. Israele rifiutò queste condizioni e gli scontri si trasformarono in una guerra su larga scala nel 1973. Nel pomeriggio del 6 ottobre Egitto e Siria attaccarono Israele contemporaneamente su due fronti. Con l'elemento sorpresa a loro vantaggio, le forze egiziane riuscirono ad attraversare il Canale di Suez con maggiore facilità del previsto, subendo solo una frazione delle perdite previste, mentre le forze siriane furono in grado di lanciare la loro offensiva contro le posizioni israeliane e di sfondare sulle alture del Golan. L'intensità degli assalti egiziani e siriani, così diversa dalla situazione del 1967, iniziò rapidamente a esaurire le scorte di munizioni di riserva di Israele. Il primo ministro israeliano Golda Meir si rivolse agli Stati Uniti per chiedere aiuto, mentre lo stato maggiore israeliano improvvisava frettolosamente una strategia di battaglia. La riluttanza degli Stati Uniti ad aiutare Israele cambiò rapidamente quando l'Unione Sovietica iniziò il proprio sforzo di rifornimento a Egitto e Siria. Il Presidente degli Stati Uniti Richard Nixon si oppose istituendo una linea di rifornimento d'emergenza per Israele, anche se i Paesi arabi imposero un costoso embargo petrolifero e diversi alleati degli Stati Uniti si rifiutarono di facilitare le spedizioni di armi. Con i rinforzi in arrivo, le Forze di Difesa Israeliane ribaltarono rapidamente la situazione. Israele riuscì a disattivare parte delle difese aeree egiziane, consentendo alle forze israeliane comandate dal generale Ariel Sharon di attraversare il Canale di Suez e circondare la Terza Armata egiziana. Sul fronte del Golan, le truppe israeliane, a caro prezzo, respinsero i siriani e avanzarono fino al limite dell'altopiano del Golan sulla strada per Damasco. Il 22 ottobre il Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite adottò la risoluzione 338, che chiedeva la fine immediata dei combattimenti; nonostante ciò, le ostilità continuarono per diversi giorni, spingendo le Nazioni Unite a reiterare l'appello al cessate il fuoco con le risoluzioni 339 e 340. Con la crescente pressione internazionale, la guerra cessò finalmente il 26 ottobre. Israele firmò un accordo formale di cessate il fuoco con l'Egitto l'11 novembre e con la Siria il 31 maggio 1974.

Quem é Juan Fernández Krohn, e por que motivo quer matar João Paulo II? Krohn nasce em 1949, em Madrid, em plena ditadura franquista, numa família católica conservadora. Na universidade, já assumidamente anticomunista, desilude-se com o Concílio Vaticano II e com as reformas ontroduzidas na Igreja. Dá os primeiros passos rumo a uma radicalização que, no início da década de 1980, o há de levar a fazer planos para matar o Papa. Entretanto, na Polónia o comunismo começa a fraquejar e João Paulo II, o primeiro Papa de Leste, ajuda a inspirar o nascimento do “Solidariedade”, um sindicato independente do Partido Comunista. Nada disso faz com que Krohn tire da cabeça a ideia de que o Papa é, na verdade, um aliado dos comunistas que está deliberadamente a destruir a Igreja Católica por dentro. Em 1981, o padre espanhol vê na televisão o assassinato do presidente egípcio Anwar Sadat e percebe que pode fazer o mesmo. Tem dificuldade em escolher uma arma, só acerta à terceira. Inicialmente, começa a fazer planos para matar o Papa em Roma. Mas o anúncio da viagem do Papa a Fátima vai mudar tudo. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald who famously wrote “there are no second acts in America.” Scott, meet Steve Hindy. He's had an amazing second act, made that much more compelling by his first act, covering wars and revolutions in the Middle East, the taking of the American hostages in Iran in 1979 and surviving the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981. Less than a decade later, he co-founded an iconic brand: Brooklyn Brewery. Join us on his amazing journey, from foreign correspondent to Brooklyn brewer.
This week on the show, Fareed speaks with Shibley Telhami, Anwar Sadat professor for peace and development at the University of Maryland, about Netanyahu's plans for Rafah, and Chuck Schumer's calls for elections in Israel. Is the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a mirage? Then, the U.S. House of representatives passed a bill this week that could lead to a bank on TikTok. Fareed hosts a spirited debate with Kori Schake, director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and former general counsel at the National Security Agency Glenn Gerstell. They discuss the security risks that the Chinese-owned app poses for its 170 million American users, and whether the ban could have first amendment implications. Next, Paul Scharre of the Center for a New American Security provides a chilling update on the future of fully autonomous weapons. Will machines soon make decisions on the battlefield without humans? Finally, Amy Wilentz, contributing editor at The Nation, joins the show to shed light on the chaos that is unfolding in Haiti, as gangs run rampant in the capital.

On Thursday, January 10th, 1974 the crew of Skylab 4, which had been orbiting the earth for more than fifty days, was granted a day off. The week prior, during a televised news conference Mission commander Gerald Carr said he missed cold beer and football. That same day the U.S. carried out three simultaneous nuclear explosions as part of Operation Arbor in Nevada. January 13th was Super Bowl VIII Sunday. The defending champion Miami Dolphins faced off against the Minnesota Vikings at Rice Stadium in Houston. More than seventy thousand were in attendance. That evening. Floyd Kalber signed on for NBC's news with coverage of potential peace between Egypt and Israel, brokered by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Looking for a solution to the ongoing Middle East crisis, Kissinger spent ten hours meeting with Israeli officials, hammering out a proposal for a peace settlement with Egypt. He next flew to Cairo to present the document to Anwar Sadat. After meeting Sadat, the plan was to return to Tel-Aviv with Sadat's version of the proposal for Israel's acceptance or rejection. This was good for President Nixon, who despite an eighteen day birthday vacation in California, and an insistence that he would leave the past behind and focus on 1974, couldn't seem to shake Watergate, the energy crisis, and continued high inflation.
Episode 1 of Matchday 1 of the African-five-a side podcast continues to explore the stories of five African heads of state and their influence on football. This week, we're introducing our goalkeeper: the tall, suave, chain-smoking Gamal Abdel Nasser.Why did we choose such a prominent figure in the non-aligned movement as our goalkeeper? Well, Nasser was known for his height, charisma, and exceptional communication skills—although his interest in football remains uncertain.Nasser came from a humble background, with a postal worker father, and spent much of his childhood in rural areas. He entered the military academy in 1937, where he met his future ally Abdelhakim Amer and successor, Anwar Sadat. Nasser's experiences as a young officer during the British-imposed regime changes in World War II and his service in the Egyptian armed forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war had a profound impact on him.After returning home, Nasser joined the Free Officers movement, which successfully executed a coup d'etat in 1952, transforming Egypt into a republic. Subsequently, Nasser started leveraging football for political purposes.During his presidency, Nasser was named honorary president of Al Ahly SC and utilized the Cairo derby to raise funds for war efforts. At Nasser's directive, Egypt boycotted the 1956 Summer Olympics, 1965 Africa Cup of Nations, and also interrupted all footballing activities at the outbreak of the 1967 Six-Day War. While he may not have been the most football-obsessed leader, Nasser skillfully utilized politics to enhance sports and vice versa. His significant contributions to the establishment of the Confederation of African Football make him a natural choice for our African heads of state five-a-side team.
Opnieuw zijn Israël en het Midden-Oosten brandhaard van geweld, terreur en oorlogsdreiging. Iedere Westerse leider reist erheen. Van Biden en Von der Leyen tot Rutte, Scholz en Macron. Om de conflicten te dempen en erger te voorkomen. Het is niet voor het eerst en de wortels zitten diep.Het leven van een historische sleutelfiguur is actueler dan ooit. En daarmee leerzaam voor vandaag. Leven en werk van Golda Meïr is nota bene juist nu onderwerp van een interessante film. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger belichten haar belevenissen, hun verrassende actualiteit, hun tragedies en de hoop die eruit spreekt.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Het begint in 1898 in Kyiv. In het Tsarenrijk tussen pogroms, armoede en onderdrukking. Golda Mabovitsj groeide op in angst en honger en ontsnapte naar dat andere beloofde land, naar Milwaukee, Wisconsin in de Verenigde Staten. Ze groeide op als gretige scholier, linkse vrouw en vermaard fondsenwerver. Die karaktereigenschappen bleken na haar emigratie in 1921 naar Brits Palestina cruciaal voor een ongebruikelijke loopbaan tot aan de politieke top."Ik ben zelf decennia een Palestijn geweest", zei ze later spottend. Haar relaties met het koloniaal bewind waren vaak schurend. Maar ze werd wel de toponderhandelaar, fondsenwerver par excellence en in het diepste geheim politiek partner van haar buurman, koning Abdoellah van Jordanië.Zelf vond zij haar jaren als minister van Arbeid in de jonge staat Israël haar gouden tijd. Haar schoenen werden in die tijd een nationaal symbool. Golda zelf was een begrip, wereldwijd. Haar populariteit in linkse kring - zeker in Nederland ook! - zou de leiders van het huidige Israël verbijsteren. Jaap en PG vertellen over haar band met PvdA-leider Joop den Uyl en de geheimen erachter.Ze was de 70 al voorbij toen zij premier werd in 1969. PG analyseert waarom juist toen de kans van een Land for Peace deal niet gepakt werd. En hoe de nieuwe president van Egypte, Anwar Sadat, een heel andere strategie koos. En ook die strategie zou juist nu weer uitermate actueel kunnen blijken.Opgegroeid in Milwaukee had Golda Meïr een natuurlijke, maar vaak ook confronterende band met Amerika. Dan blijkt uit haar gesprekken met Henry Kissinger, maar ook uit de herinneringen van Joe Biden, toen jong senator. Dat werd essentieel voor het overleven van de Jom Kippoer oorlog, nu precies 50 jaar geleden. Veel gebeurtenissen toen lijken op wat we nu weer meemaken.Israël kwam tot een harde, feitelijke evaluatie van de missers en hybris voorafgaand aan dat geweld. Meïr stapte op voor een nieuwe generatie leiders. Sadat durfde nu wel de gok aan en kwam met een eigen Land for Peace deal. Op 21 november 1977 sprak hij erover met ‘that old lady'. In Jeruzalem, nota bene.Op 80-jarige leeftijd overleed ze. Ze maakte nog net mee dat de akkoorden van Camp David gesloten werden. "Golda Meir was een der onzen. Wij rouwen om het verlies van een goede vriendin", zei Den Uyl in Tel Aviv op de herdenkingsbijeenkomst. Haar levenslessen hebben nog niets verloren van hun actualiteit en relevantie voor de wereld van nu.***Verder lezenGolda Meïr - Mijn levenHenry Kissinger - The Complete MemoirsMax van Weezel - De PvdA, Israël en de Palestijnen (S&D, 2017) Anet Bleich - Joop den Uyl (uitgeverij Balans)***Verder kijkenTrailer: Golda (2023)Joe Biden speaks in Israel (18 oktober 2023)***Verder luisteren350 - 100 jaar Henry Kissinger287 - Waarom Robert Serry altijd weer terugkeert naar zijn Oekraïne354 - Eenzaamheid, machtsstrijd en repressie in het Russische rijk van Poetin, Stalin en tsaar Nicolaas II253 - Poetins bizarre toespraak: hoe de president de geschiedenis van Oekraïne herschrijft***Tijdlijn00:00:00 – Deel 100:48:34 – Deel 201:37:13 – Einde Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Conflicts have broken out between Israel and Gaza several times over the years. But this past weekend saw Hamas launch a surprise attack unlike any other before.Hamas killed over a thousand people, took others hostage, and even assumed control of several Israeli communities. Israel's military was caught completely unaware. Now the Israeli military has laid siege to Gaza. Retaliatory Israeli air strikes have killed at least 800 Palestinians and displaced around 200 thousand people. They've cut off fuel, electricity and food supplies into the area. How did we get to this point?NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Tal Schneider, political and diplomatic correspondent for the Times of Israel, and Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat professor of peace and development at the University of Maryland.

The Camp David Accords were the crowning achievement of the Jimmy Carter Administration foreign Policy. This episode tells the dramatic story of how Jimmy Carter was able to get these two old warriors together at Camp David in order to make it happen. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was very ready and willing to try and make the peace but an election in Israel with a surprise outcome changed the entire situation, as the hardline, conservative Likud Party was elected and Menachem Begin became the Israeli Prime Minister. Jimmy Carter found himself in a situation where one side, Egypt, trusted him completely and the other side , Israel, did not trust him at all. For thirteen days, the three men, held up at Camp David, and ironed out an agreement. It came after several emotional moments between the three men in which both Begin and Sadat almost walked out of the negotiations. But each time Jimmy Carter managed to figure out ways to save the day and keep both sides talking. The end result was an agreement in principle. That would need to be followed up upon later. That later almost never happened, and would not have, without the leadership of Jimmy Carter and his willingness to step up at a moment of great political peril for him personally to insure it would happen. This episode will tell this dramatic story about how the world was made a much safer place by the stubborn leadership of an American President who rarely gets the credit he deserved for the leadership he provided at a pivotal moment in world history.

November 19, 1977. It was perhaps the most unusual Shabbat in Israel's history. Because after the havdala service, Israeli families glued themselves to their TVs or radios, waiting anxiously for a visitor they never dreamed would arrive. Anwar Sadat, President of Egypt, had come to Jerusalem to speak of peace. What happened next changed the Middle East forever. ~~~~ Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VLl6H1mbapNkhWq8aNnMFylTQ9w__9WDxIsqvlniORs/edit?usp=sharing ~~~~ Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Marci and Andrew Spitzer, and this episode is generously sponsored by Barbara Sommer and Alan Fisher.

He is a professor emeritus in the school of natural sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Witten is a researcher in string theory, quantum gravity, supersymmetric quantum field theories, and other areas of mathematical physics. Witten's work has also significantly impacted pure mathematics. In 1990, he became the first physicist to be awarded a Fields Medal by the International Mathematical Union, for his mathematical insights in physics, such as his 1981 proof of the positive energy theorem in general relativity, and his interpretation of the Jones invariants of knots as Feynman integrals. He is considered the practical founder of M-theory. Mohammad Abdus Salam (29 January 1926 – 21 November 1996) was a Pakistani theoretical physicist. He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg for his contribution to the electroweak unification theory. He was the first Pakistani and the first Muslim from an Islamic country to receive a Nobel Prize in science and the second from an Islamic country to receive any Nobel Prize, after Anwar Sadat of Egypt. Dennis William Siahou Sciama, (18 November 1926 – 18 December 1999) was an English physicist who, through his own work and that of his students, played a major role in developing British physics after the Second World War. He was the PhD supervisor to many famous physicists and astrophysicists, including John D. Barrow, David Deutsch, George F. R. Ellis, Stephen Hawking, Adrian Melott and Martin Rees, among others; he is considered one of the fathers of modern cosmology. Paolo Budinich (28 August 1916 – 14 November 2013) was an Italian theoretical physicist. Born in Lussingrande to a family of sailors, he grew up and studied in Trieste, where the family resided and his father Antonio Budini[1] taught in the local high school, which Paolo attended until 1934. He later began his studies at Università Degli Studi di Pisa graduating from the Scuola Normale Superiore in 1938, with a thesis written under the direction of Leonida Tonelli.

On this week's special episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast, we examine the life and legacy of the late Barbara Walters with WSB's Michelle Wright. Barbara Walters blazed a trail for female journalists in the industry and inspired the likes of Jane Pauley, Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer. Walters big break came when she joined The Today Show in 1961 and was named co-host of the show in 1974, becoming the first female co-host of a U.S. news program. She would go on to sign a five-year, $5 million contract with ABS, making her the highest paid news anchor – male or female – in the United States. Throughout her career, Walters would interview every sitting U.S. President and first lady from Richard and Pat Nixon to Barack and Michelle Obama. Some of her most famous, and sometime notorious, interviews include Fidel Castro, Anwar Sadat, Katharine Hepburn, Sean Connery, Monica Lewinsky, Hugo Chávez, Vladimir Putin, and Bashar al-Assad. Perhaps her most noteworthy accomplishment was creating the talk show “The View” in 1997, which is still on air with ABC today. The all-female hosted program brings together women from different generations, political views and upbringing to dive into cultural and political events of the day. WSB's Michelle Wright joins the show to talk specifically about Walters's signature pull-no-punches style, “scoop” journalism, and impact on women in her profession. Walters passed away in December of 2022 and The Georgia Politics Podcast is proud to honor her legacy and contributions to political commentary and journalism with this special episode.

Anwar Sadat was the President of Egypt between 1970 and his assassination in 1981. Sadat changed Egypt utterly during his time in power, recognising Israel and aligning with the US following the anti-colonial rule of Nasser. The about-turns made by Sadat during his 11-year presidency make him one of the post-1945 World's most controversial figures, and he ultimately paid for his cosying up to Israel with his life. But did his actions make Egypt more stable and more prosperous? This is the question at the heart of today's episode.My guest for today's conversation is Steven Cook. Steven is a senior fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, and he contributes regularly to publications such as Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy. He is also the author of many books, including False Dawn: Protest, Democracy and Violence in the New Middle East, released in 2017.

In this episode we look back on President Nixon's relationships with three world leaders who were very important to the United States during his administration. No world leader in history was as well traveled as President Richard Nixon and few, if any, knew the world better. During President Nixon's retirement years Nixon was often called upon to comment upon the passing of several World Leaders and their impact on the world stage. You will hear some of those comments here in this episode.In one case, it was Richard Nixon who wanted to send a message to the current American President , Jimmy Carter, and the rest of the western world, that we should never forget our friends in their time of need. This was very much true in the case of the Shah of Iran. The Shah was deposed in January of 1979, and the region he had helped stabilize was thrown into chaos. Carter's treatment of the Shah was in a word, shameful , and Richard Nixon held his feet to the fire. It was only after the Shah was diagnosed with cancer that he was allowed to seek refuge here for treatment, which led to the Embassy in Tehran being overrun by militant Islamic terrorists and our diplomats being taken as hostages. It was Richard Nixon that went to Mexico to see the Shah and then went personally to his funeral in Egypt to say to the world that America never forgets a friend. It was Richard Nixon showing the foreign policy leadership lacking by the then current occupant in the White House.Then after the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Richard Nixon was called on again by the new President Ronald Reagan to represent the United States to the world. Reagan tapped all three former living Presidents, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter to attend the Sadat funeral, but it was clearly Nixon that was the towering figure to the world. It marked Nixon's return to the world stage and he was greeted by a grateful world that had always revered him, and marveled at just how the United States could have ever deposed such an extraordinary leader. Finally we will take a look at the man who was on the other side of the Cold War for much of the most important years of the struggle. For two decades the Soviet Union and the entire Communist World was dominated by Leonid Brezhnev. Here we will look back at him, his leadership, and his impact on the world stage. We will hear from President Richard Nixon on Nightline the night the Soviet leader died and listen to his thoughts on this formidable leader who represented the other side of the Cold War for so long.

In this second edition of our look at the relationship Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon had with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin , we take a little detour to listen to some of the current thoughts of Dr. Henry Kissinger, who is now 99 years old and out with yet another book. This time a book that chronicles the great examples of leadership he has seen up-close. The book is titled "Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategies" "In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft, which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls “the strategy of humility.” Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by “the strategy of will.” During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by “the strategy of equilibrium.” After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a “strategy of transcendence.” Against the odds, Lee Kuan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by “the strategy of excellence.” And, though Britain was known as “the sick man of Europe” when Margaret Thatcher came to power, she renewed her country's morale and international position by “the strategy of conviction.” " - From the book description for "Leadership" Here is a link https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0593587065/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_04W7PHVB27WHRSESNDP1 Then we get to hear both Dr Henry Kissinger and President Richard Nixon working with Ambassador Dobrynin in an example of the very leadership in which Dr. Kissinger chronicled in his new , outstanding book. Two calls during the final days of the Vietnam War in 1972 - 1973. https://youtu.be/lGSEqGDNjfI.

In this episode we travel the world with Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon. Here we see one last triumph for the President who brought peace to millions. He first visits France to restore good relations in Europe which had felt long neglected by its American ally as we had been bogged down in Vietnam for over a decade. While President Nixon was busy there his confidant , Dr. Henry Kissinger, was shuttling through out the Middle East working to bring a stalemated conflict between Israel and two of its Arab neighbors to an end. It was called shuttle diplomacy and it was during this time that the term peace process was coined. We will tune in to the era with contemporary news reports from the time and we will hear from several of those intimately involved in these moments of high drama. Then we will join Richard Nixon in his final triumphant visits to a Middle East he had brought balance and peace to in this tumultuous era. He was greeted, much to the shock of the American press corp, to a heroes welcome everywhere he went from a train ride across Egypt, to Saudi Arabia, and Syria to a thanks filled event in Israel as he was proclaimed the statesman of the age and thanked for his role in saving the nation by the leader of Israel himself. Then after a brief stay at home, Richard Nixon took off again to meet Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow. There they would sign an economic agreement, limit missile sights, and lower the number of nuclear missiles, but as the effort to topple the administration at home was gaining momentum, the Soviets decided to play hard ball as they sensed Nixon's power was fading. So while the summit was a success it would also become the first "What might have been" of what would become long list of them, as the United States would force the greatest leader it had produced so far in the last half of the 20th century from office. And this show will leave you with a question for the ages......

In his new book, “Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategy”, former Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger looks at lives of six of the most influential leaders of the last century: Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher - all of whom he knew personally. Newt's guest is Henry Kissinger. He served as national security advisor and secretary of state under President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford and he has advised many other American presidents on foreign policy.

1981 was the year of the assassin's bloodlust. In this Boles.tv live stream highlight, David Boles shares his memories of one bloody year. In 1981, on March 30, President Regan was shot, on May 13, Pope John Paul II was shot, on October 06 of the same year, Anwar Sadat was murdered. Those "up close and personal" assassination attempts, and successes, were not new to the history of the world, but their cluster effect was raw, fresh, and frightening.
Did you know that one man in World History bares the distinction of not only saving one nation but actually saving two!! That man, was Richard Nixon. Like his 19th century predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon would save our Union from self destruction. Then Richard Nixon would step up, in October of 1973, with the coalition of Arab Nations poised to wipe out the nation of Israel in retaliation for their humiliating defeat in 1967 . The Arab States, led by Egypt and Syria, had Israel with its back to the wall and forced them to call out for help, it was then that Richard Nixon saved them as well. The coalition of Arab Nations attempted to invade Israel on two sides with the goal of gaining control of the East Bank of the Suez Canal. They stunned the Israeli forces and started backing them off the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. The Israeli's were clearly being outgunned. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was desperate and her cries were falling on deaf ears within the American Government. President Nixon was under siege here at home as the Democrats marched on with the aid of their media elite allies and the rabid staff of the Special Prosecutor's office, trying to over step constitutional authority and the division of government by extending the Legislative and Judicial Branches' power and interfere with the running of the Executive Branch of Government by the overwhelmingly elected President . President Nixon was doing all he could do just to keep his administration from coming off track. It was at exactly this moment that Golda Meir took matters into her own hands and called Richard Nixon, in the middle of the night, for help . It could only be described in the history of the nation of Israel, as a Yom Kippur miracle.Richard Nixon let his recalcitrant government and Defense Department know, in no uncertain terms, that the time of letting Israel bleed was over. His exact order was "You will send them everything we have, everything that will fly" and It would do far more than change everything for Israel it would save the nation of Israel from certain destruction ..

In this episode we talk about one of the major events happening all over the country.... the mandating of the COVID-19 Vaccine. The "topic" at hand may currently be the vaccine but we want to be clear, we believe the real danger here is that we the people may be losing our power of choice in a country that is supposed to be free. Its the start of a slippery slope that gives someone else power over your body. Anwar Sadat said " To Damage the sovereignty of the individual is to replace a community inspired by love, benevolence and beauty by one based solely on power." They are damaging the sovereignty of the individual with these mandates and we have no further to look than our history books for what happens as the people in power begin to strip away the rights and sovereignty of its people. There is a very common quote that everyone has probably heard.... Give them an inch and they take a mile. We are at the time when we have to decide if we give that inch that will become the mile or if we take our stand.... the power is ours to make sure this doesn't happen and that people are still allowed to hold dominion and sovereignty over their own body.
Al Aqsa Intifada. The Logic of Violence, the Impact of Violence. There were two Intifadas. The first began in December, 1987. The second is called the Al Aqsa Intifada and began in September, 2000. The first involved non-lethal violence on the part of the Palestinians, throwing stones, burning tires. The second was extremely violent. In both cases, from a Palestinian point of view, the protection of Islam and Islamic Holy Sites was a major motivating force. The Here are some names and terms you might not know: Names: Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat, Dennis Ross, Aaron David Miller, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Netanyahu, Anwar Sadat, Colonel Luft, Professor Papp, Marwan Barghouti, Shimon Peres, Sheikh Yassin, Dr. Rantisi. Yitzhak Shamir. . Other terms: Oslo Accords of 1993, Camp David (Carter and Clinton efforts), IDF (Israeli military)There is an excellent film called Paradise Now. It focuses on the logic of suicide bombing. Menachem Begin wrote a memoir, The Revolt. It addresses what is terrorism and what is not. When US forces went into Afghanistan after 9/11 and entered the Al Qaeda camps they were stunned to discover Begin's materials on Al Qaeda computers. I was not surprised. Begin's organization was Irgun. Fatah is Yassir Arafat's party; Al Aqsa Brigade is a Fatah military unit. Kill ratio is a term from the Vietnam War. It means the ratio of our dead to their dead. The kill ratio in first Intifada was 23:1. 23 Palestinians died for every Israeli who died. Why did I say 23:3? That makes no sense. But that kind of glitch happens in the middle of a talk. Note: I originally delivered two talks on this topic. This merges the two.
The hosts unravel the lives and legacies of Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. They discuss the coup that brought Gaddafi to power, his bizarre manifesto, the Lockerbie bombing, his crazy behaviour on the world stage, his all female bodyguard troop and his eventual downfall during the Arab Spring. They also discuss Mubarak's survival of the assassination of Anwar Sadat, his use of mass imprisonment, the multiple rigged elections and his eventual fall from power. These two dictators battle it out in Round 15 of the knock-out tournament to determine the single greatest dictator of all time. One of these two dictators will be eliminated from the tournament and the other will remain in contention to be crowned history's biggest dictator.
Following the re-birth of Israel in 1948, 2 more developments took place in the 60's and 70's that needed to transpire in order for the prophecy of Ezekiel to manifest just as the Lord described. Join us now as we look back at the actions taken by Golda Meir, Anwar Sadat and Hafez Al-Asad as they lined up precisely with Ezekiel Chapter 38….and so much more in reference to the next coming great war….. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
