Henry Kissinger's death. On Wednesday, Henry Kissinger, the long-time American diplomat and political scientist who was the only person to ever serve concurrently as both secretary of state and national security adviser, died at the age of 100. Kissinger, who was born in Bavaria in 1923 to a family of German Jews who fled to the United States during the rise of the Nazis, was one of the most polarizing figures in American history. He served under presidents Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, though he advised 12 presidents from both parties — more than a quarter of all men who have ever held the office.

Chicago's Dovetail (https://dovetailbrewery.com) has earned a reputation for its refined yet flavorful lagers, but the team's dogged approach to traditional methods is less about religion and more about expression—these techniques and processes allow them to imbue their beers with attributes they want while minimizing those they want to avoid or keep in the background. Each beer they make is like a musical score—a recipe designed to hit the right notes with the orchestra of instruments they've assembled. Whether that's multiple decoctions, dropping temperatures in the coolship before adding whole-cone hops to a hop-forward lager, or how often they skim the open fermentors, they've considered the cumulative impact of each of the intermediate notes. In this episode, cofounder Hagen Dost, production manager Brittany Gedwill, and sales director Dan Modica outline their reverent and rigorous approach to making helles, pilsner, and Kölsch-style ale. Along the way, they also touch on: creating slushies with aged spontaneous beer defining parameters around “traditional methods” for lager brewing the benefits of direct-fire decoction coolshipping lagers with whole-cone hops for “harmony and cohesion” the varying impacts of step mashing, single decoction, and triple decoction with thick and thin mashes the necessity of sulfur and malt character in helles walking the fine line in timing of Kölsch fermentation brewing rauchbier with 95 percent smoked malt And more.

In my talk with Barry Gewen on his 2020 book, The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World (W. W. Norton, 2020), we explore the disparate influences that shaped Kissinger as both an intellectual and as a practitioner of power.  Our conversation touches on Kissinger's upbringing in a German-Jewish community in Bavaria at the time of Hitler's rise to power and pivots to an understanding of Kissinger's Realism as his pessimistic yet unwavering approach to foreign affairs and exigencies like the balance of power. In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts. Barry Gewen, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, deserves to be heard, and his book deserves to be read, for his judicious, textured appraisal of Kissinger. His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world. Our talk closes with Gewen's assessment of Kissinger's thinking on the present-day foreign-policy challenges for the U.S. of China and the Russia-Ukraine war. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His latest book, Putin's Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports) will be published in January. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's podcast: 1) Henry Kissinger, the child refugee who rose to become US secretary of state and defined American foreign policy during the 1970s with his strategies to end the Vietnam War and contain communist countries, has died. He was 100. 2) Israel and Hamas agreed to lengthen their truce for at least another day, allowing for the release of more hostages held by the militant group in Gaza. 3) Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, says the advertisers that have stopped spending on the platform due to his endorsement of an antisemitic post can “f——” themselves.   Full transcript:  Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the passing of a man who defined foreign policy in the nineteen seventies and worked to shape it for decades. After Henry Kissinger has died, Bloomberg political contributor Rick Davis says Kissinger's influence was unmatched. It's quite a career that lasted my entire life. I would say that we've not seen much of the likes of him, somebody who has never been elected to office, but wielded as much power as any powerful president or prime minister in the world. Kissinger was credited with opening the door to China and achieving detente with the Soviet Union, but he courted controversy for supporting massive bombing campaigns in Vietnam and Cambodia. Bloomberg's Ian Marlow says Kissinger leaves a complicated legacy around the world, in Asia in the Middle East. Could be a polarizing figure, but I think that was in part because he embodied that sort of American power. He was one of the people at the center of American power, and over a long period of time when the US role in the world was also changing, and it is to some extent and end of an era, and that era continued right to the end. This past July. In fact, Henry Kissinger met with Chinese President Shi Jinping in Beijing to discuss US China relations. Henry Kissinger died yesterday at his home in Connecticut. He was one hundred years old, and Nathan we turn out to breaking developments in the Middle East, Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their truce for at least another day. The two sides announced the extension just minutes before their ceasefire was due to end. Head of the announcement, Secretary of State Anthony BLNCN explained what he hopes to achieve during his visit to the region. We'll discuss with Israel how it can achieve its objective of ensuring that the terrorist attacks of October seventh never happen again, while sustaining an increasing amount of train assistance and minimizing further suffering and casualties among Palestine civilians and Secretary of State Blincoln is currently in Tel Aviv for his third visit since the attacks. He will also visit the West Bank, the visit comes as more captives were exchange yesterday evening, with ten hostages released by Hamas in exchange for thirty Palestinians held by Israel. And back here in the US, Karen House Speaker Mike Johnson says he has real reservations about expelling Congressman George Santos. We get that story from Bloomberg's At Baxter, the resolution says the vote needs to happen today, but Speaker Johnson says, for him, there are some real problems here. I personally have real reservations about doing this. I'm concerned about a president than may be set for that. So where everybody's working through that and we'll see how they vote. Sados will be the first expulsion without a conviction on charges. Johnson at one point yesterday said the vote would come Friday, but the resolution does say today, so we'll see how it works out. At Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All right, ed, Thanks well. Elon Musk is talking about the future of ex following and advertising boy and we get the latest from Bloomberg's John Tucker. John what the boycott is going to do mus says is kill the company, and who does he blame? Well, not himself, but the advertisers he herald in an expletive their way, saying they can go bleep themselves. Those advertisers include Walt Disney and Apple. Earlier this month, Musk agreed with a post that said Jewish people hold a dialectical hatred of white people. Well, that message has since drawn widespread criticism. On stage at the New York Times Deal Book conference, must did say the post was the worst and dumbest he's ever done. Mustourage people to judge him by his actions rather than his words. He brought up his electric car company, Tesla, saying he's done more for the environment than any human. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. All right, John, thank you. Now, let's take a look at some stocks on the move this morning. Shares of Salesforce are up nearly nine percent. The San Francisco based software company gave a profit forecast for the current quarter. The top D analyst estamates Salesforce is benefiting from its cost cutting program. Meanwhile, Nathan Snowflake is up about eight and a half percent. The company gave a product sales outlook for the current quarter that beat expectations. That's fueling hope that revenue is stabilized after the software and maker experienced a dramatic slowdown in growth during the past year. Turning to the economy, differing views on inflation from two Federal Reserve Regional Bank presidents. Atlanta FED president Rafael Bostik says he's growing increasingly confident that inflation is firmly on a downward path. On the other hand, Richmond FED chief Thomas Barkins tell CNBC he's not yet convinced. There's no precision that anyone can point to at exactly what is the level of rates that exactly handles inflation and exactly the way you want to handle it, and so you're constantly trying to adjust on the flot. Both Thomas Barkin and Rafael Bostik will be voting members of the FOMC next year. Well. In corporate news, Nathan Online, a job search company, Indeed is canceling the monthly mental health days it introduced during the pandemic. Can we get this story from Bloomberg's Ellie Pellett. It joins a growing group of firms pairing back benefits they rushed to provide during the COVID nineteen crisis. Indeed initiated so called you Days in June of twenty twenty, giving all employees the same day off each month out of time when exhausted staff were taking fewer vacation days because of travel restrictions. Three years later, employees are once again booking time off at a similar rate to before the pandemic, so the company said quote. As a result, we have agreed that the global need for you days has passed. In New York, Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio and Charlie, we just got inflation data from the Eurozone. It cooled more than expected. Consumer prices rose two point four percent from a year ago in November. That was down from two point nine percent the previous month and less than all estimates of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Sorry, Nathan, Thanks, It's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joal by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Say good morning, Good morning, Karen Ultra. Conservatives in the House of Representatives have now softened their demands for deep spending cuts to domestic programs, heightening the odds that two parties can reach a spending agreement and avert of partial government shutdown in January. The shift came after the House failed to pass bills at the lower spending levels demanded by the House random Caucus. They've been pushing for one hundred twenty billion dollars in cuts. This softer stance gives House Speaker Johnson Moore a room to negotiate a bipartisan spending bill, as senators from both parties want to add fourteen billion dollars in spending by designating it an emergency not subject to that cap. As lawmakers consider an aid package to Israel, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is issuing a warning. Bloomberg's at Nancy Lyons has that part of the story. Senator Schumer, who is the highest ranking Jewish elected official in the country, spent forty five minutes on the Senate floor to crying the rise in anti Semitism at a level not seen in decades. The normalization and excusation of this rise and hate is the danger many Jewish people fear most. The Anti Defamation League says anti Semitic incidents of nearly quadrupled since the onset of the Israel Hamas War. Schumer says It's time for a clear throated denouncement of the hate in Washington, Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio and that new poll shows the number of college students experiencing or witnessing anti semitism is also up this academic year. That poll by the Jewish led Anti Defamation League and Hillel International found that nearly three in four Jewish students and forty four percent of non Jewish students saw or experienced anti Jewish ideas since the start of the twenty three to twenty four school year. A very special holiday display. Now at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House South Lawn has an ice skating rink to celebrate the holidays. First Lady Jill Biden unveiled the rink with skating performances from figure skaters and Peanuts characters. What's more magical and wonderful and joyful then, you know, being on an ice rink in the South one of the White House. Who knew right A, Military, families, first responders, and other special invited guests can enjoy the White House skating rink in December. It will not be open to the public. Global News twenty four hours a day, and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morrison. This is Bloomberg Karen right, Amy, Thank you well. We bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour John Daron upset in college basketball. They stormed the court in Fayetteville after Arkansas and opt off seventh rank Duke eighty to seventy five North Carolina ranked seventeen, put up sixty one points in the first half in Chapel Hill and beat tenth thrank Tennessee one hundred and ninety two. So they split fourteen games in the acc SEC Challenge over the previous two nights. They both won seven times. A couple of bad teams at the NBA's Eastern Conference, the Pistons the Wizards. They played the other night. Washington won, but the Wizards lost in Orlando, won thirty nine to one twenty. The Magic thirteen and five on the

omies. Let's say, at some basis for some cooperative action to wills, Bill Slide hid a catastrophe. Comfortable do will do a one And Henry Kissinger worked to head off that catastrophe. After reaching his hundredth birthday this year, when President Biden sent cabinet secretaries to Beijing to try to stabilize relations, the one US diplomat that Chinese President Shi Jinping met face to face this summer was the man who he called an old friend to China, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. And for more, we are joined from Singapore by Bloomberg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank. A mixed legacy, Derek, but an undeniable legacy at the same time. I think that's exactly right. An. I think you did a brilliant job setting this up and there when when we're talking about the reaction, especially out here, I think the the polarity of feedback has been striking today. You know, Kissinger was a sort of person that in some corners of the world was a lionized statesman, and some other corners in the world, uh, they considered him an absolute scoundrel. And and and there's not really a giant a mix of those right now, certainly through Asia hours and you're you're talking about somebody who in Singapore was was somebody that that foreign ministers would would make pilgrimage to his apartment in New York City. Every time that there was a UN General Assembly meeting China. You saw that you mentioned the reaction from Xi jianpingg He's Uh. Kissinger was described as an old friend of the Chinese people's there's a mournful reaction from from China at the same time. Uh. This is somebody who throughout parts of Southeast Asia, UH, particularly Cambodia, allows Vietnam, et cetera. You know, Indonesia, parts of team or less. It's like it is not held in anywhere the same sort of thing. It's a very polarizing person, but certainly somebody who had I think it is unanimous to say a titanic effect on the world in which he lived, no doubt, and to you put it into the context of where US China relations stand now. I think it'd gotten a little bit better since the low that we saw after the alleged spy balloon incident back in February. But talk a little bit more about the impact that Henry Kissinger tried to wield even up to the end, as President Biden was trying to put US China relations sort of back on the rails. I think one of the most notable things sitting here as as we closely have tracked the decline in relationships between the two superpowers, is how Henry Kissinger always seemed to be the one American who could get a meeting with anyone he wanted in China. I mean anybody he wanted. I saw in Chinese state media today retrospectives of here was Henry Kissinger visiting it this year, and then two years later, and then three years later, and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Gotten down the line, he met with anybody he wanted, He met any time he wanted, and senior, senior Chinese folks would would go to him, would would want to talk to him to get a sense of where the things were in the United States, and vice versa. You know, he was a counselor to presidents of his party or not, people who agreed with him or not. He was seen as this respected voice that when he was in the room, people felt like they needed to listen to on both sides of this relationship, because as they say, he was so respected in China, and in these days you find somebody who who is you know, who is American, who has deeptised in the American state, who who is that respected in China is It's a very very small list, right, and Henry Kissingtram might have been right at the top of that list. Well, we think about the passing of a former Secretary of State who saw the world as it is. We have a current Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln, who is back in a part of the world that is as restive as anywhere else in the Middle East. Let's talk a little bit about the latest that's happening in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the influence the Secretary of State Blincoln is trying to have as this tenuous ceasefire continues. Yeah, and the thing that I think everybody's waiting for is to see how long this ceasefire will go. It was supposed to expire at seven am local time Thursday. It got extended for another day. I mean the announcement here just minutes before that ceasefire was due to end. There had been reports of small violations here and there of things. We have seen a steady drip drip of hostage releases. But it's a very very tenuous. I don't even want to use the word piece. It's a very it's a very tenuous pause. Let's go with pause, because a pause implies that the play button is back. It is also on the table that the restart could be coming soon. So I think that's the question. How much progress are we getting here? You do see the United States trying to play in here. I think I think the Biden administration is politically finding itself in a in a in a tough spot. They are trying to have some guardrails that they're trying to communicate to the Israelis. At the same time, you know, the the US is permissioning I if I can use that word, they're they're certainly you know, they're they're they're certainly Israel's biggest friend on the world stage. Right. So so that's a little bit of a difficult position that the Biden administration is trying to tread a little bit carefully. But they are trying to influence, uh, what's what's going on in that in that part of the world, and they have a lot of place to play. At the same time, you see countries like Egypt, countries like Cats are trying to you know, trying to influence Maybe they might be more simply sympathetic to other sides than the US administration might be, but all sort of trying to find and feel a way out of this so that it doesn't conflagrate more. All the while, also, it should be said, trying to keep nation states that are currently mostly on the side on the side. And I'm thinking here of countries like Iran to prevent this from escalating into something even more than it is right now. It's certainly a touch and go sort of thing right now. And I do as I say, I think, I think it carries some political risk. I mean, look, we're we're we're less than twelve months out from the US presidential election, and a lot of the people who are protesting in the streets in the United States are people who you would find in a normal Democratic coalition who are deeply upset with the president right now and vowing not to vote for him in any circumstance. Right that's a part, that's a group of people he needs to come out for him next year, and so it's a very very delicate ballot. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast. Feed at six am Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa Play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, seriusxmb iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

In my talk with Barry Gewen on his 2020 book, The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World (W. W. Norton, 2020), we explore the disparate influences that shaped Kissinger as both an intellectual and as a practitioner of power.  Our conversation touches on Kissinger's upbringing in a German-Jewish community in Bavaria at the time of Hitler's rise to power and pivots to an understanding of Kissinger's Realism as his pessimistic yet unwavering approach to foreign affairs and exigencies like the balance of power. In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts. Barry Gewen, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, deserves to be heard, and his book deserves to be read, for his judicious, textured appraisal of Kissinger. His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world. Our talk closes with Gewen's assessment of Kissinger's thinking on the present-day foreign-policy challenges for the U.S. of China and the Russia-Ukraine war. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His latest book, Putin's Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports) will be published in January. Learn more about your ad choices.

In my talk with Barry Gewen on his 2020 book, The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World (W. W. Norton, 2020), we explore the disparate influences that shaped Kissinger as both an intellectual and as a practitioner of power.  Our conversation touches on Kissinger's upbringing in a German-Jewish community in Bavaria at the time of Hitler's rise to power and pivots to an understanding of Kissinger's Realism as his pessimistic yet unwavering approach to foreign affairs and exigencies like the balance of power. In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts. Barry Gewen, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, deserves to be heard, and his book deserves to be read, for his judicious, textured appraisal of Kissinger. His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world. Our talk closes with Gewen's assessment of Kissinger's thinking on the present-day foreign-policy challenges for the U.S. of China and the Russia-Ukraine war. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays, is now available on the Spreaker Player!​​​​​​​Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, despite all his whines of victimhood, parallel hearings exposes Trump's special treatment by the courts.Then, on the rest of the menu, the California Supreme Court ruled Pacific Gas & Electric cannot be sued over safety-related power shutoffs due to wildfires; a right wing NRA-funded rural judge ruled the voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution; and, the Missouri Supreme Court turned away a extreme right wing appeal about how to word a ballot question on access to abortion in the state an upcoming citizen initiative.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where online abuse and hate speech targeting politically active women in Afghanistan significantly increased since the Taliban took over the country; and, German authorities raided the homes of seventeen people in the state of Bavaria accused of spreading antisemitic hate speech and threats targeting Jews online.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!"To those of us who believe that all of life is sacred every crumb of bread and sip of wine is a Eucharist, a remembrance, a call to awareness of holiness right where we are. I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.”-- Shauna Niequist"Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes"

German Blood, Slavic Soil: How Nazi Königsberg Became Soviet Kaliningrad (Cornell UP, 2023) reveals how Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, twentieth-century Europe's two most violent revolutionary regimes, transformed a single city and the people who lived there. During World War II, this single city became an epicenter in the apocalyptic battle between their two regimes. Drawing on sources and perspectives from both sides, Nicole Eaton explores not only what Germans and Soviets thought about each other, but also how the war brought them together. She details an intricate timeline, first describing how Königsberg, a seven-hundred-year-old German port city on the Baltic Sea and lifelong home of Immanuel Kant, became infamous in the 1930s as the easternmost bastion of Hitler's Third Reich and the launching point for the Nazis' genocidal war in the East. She then describes how, after being destroyed by bombing and siege warfare in 1945, Königsberg became Kaliningrad, the westernmost city of Stalin's Soviet Union. Königsberg/Kaliningrad is the only city to have been ruled by both Hitler and Stalin as their own―in both wartime occupation and as integral territory of the two regimes. German Blood, Slavic Soil presents an intimate look into the Nazi-Soviet encounter during World War II. Eaton impressively shows how this outpost city, far from the centers of power in Moscow and Berlin, became a closed-off space where Nazis and Stalinists each staged radical experiments in societal transformation and were forced to reimagine their utopias in dialogue with the encounter between the victims and proponents of the two regimes. Nicole Eaton is Associate Professor of History at Boston College. Eric Grube is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Boston College. He also received his PhD from Boston College in the summer of 2022. He studies modern German and Austrian history, with a special interest in right-wing paramilitary organizations across interwar Bavaria and Austria. “Pro-Fascist, Anti-Nazi: Austrian Catholics weaponized religion against Hitler but for fascism," Commonweal, 2023 "Borderland Brothers: Austrofascist Competition and Cooperation with National Socialists, 1936–1938," Journal of Austrian Studies, 2023 "Casualties of War?

Subscriber-only episodeWhen Hans Schmidt was a child in Bavaria, other kids played sports, but he liked going to the slaughterhouse to watch animals being killed. "Ich seh gern blut!" he'd say ("I like to see the blood"). The blood excited him—sexually excited him, noted his doctor. He also took to killing animals himself and carrying their heads in his pocket. Then he decided to become a priest. This didn't quite turn his life around, and he ended up committing all kinds of offenses, both heretical and sexual, till no parish would accept him. So in 1909, he moved from Germany to America.There, Hans Schmidt illegally married, impregnated, and then brutally murdered and dismembered his “wife”, Anna Aumüller. For that crime, he was eventually executed via electrocution, and to this day is the only Catholic priest ever executed in the United States. Turns out, the murder he was caught for was only the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for listening! Subscribe here: For Bonus Friday Episodes!

The region's rich history and captivating landscapes are evident in the tower that stands on the hill in Bad Abbach. Meilin Ehlke mentions that the tower was once inhabited by Heinrich II, who became king of Germany and Italy, and later Emperor. The stones of the tower have witnessed the passage of time and the events that shaped the region. The region's history extends beyond its own culture, with influences from other cultures, such as the Romans, who have left their mark in the area. Additionally, the region is home to the second longest river in Europe, the Danube (Donau), which flows through ten countries before reaching the Black Sea. The river's beauty and wide expanse invite people to interact with it and draw inspiration from its ancient wisdom.(00:01:47) The Tower's Historical Significance in the Region - 'Heinrichturm' Bad Abbach, Bavaria, Germany (00:07:03) The Transformative Power of Flowing Ideas (00:15:24) Embracing our True Nature and Inner Voice (00:17:00 - 00:20:15) Sacred Sounds~ * ~     ~ * ~    ~ *  ~    ~ *  ~You are invited to bring your wisdom and powerful energy over to our Fb group where you can share it with us and others.

In 1923, the Weimar Republic faced a series of crises, including foreign occupation of its industrial heartland, rampant inflation, radical violence, and finally Hitler's infamous “beer hall putsch.” Fanning the flames of anti-government and anti-Semitic sentiment, the Nazis tried to violently seize power in Munich, only failing after they were abandoned by like-minded conservatives. Today's guest is Mark Jones, author of “1923: The Crisis of German Democracy in the Year of Putsch.” We discuss how the Nazis' plan was initially to seize power in Munich, control Bavaria, then march on Berlin. Hitler needed the support of the military and the police, which he did not get in 1923 but did get in 1933. Tracing Hitler's early rise, Jones reveals how political pragmatism and unprecedented international cooperation with the West brought Germany out of its crisis year. Although Germany would succumb to tyranny a decade later, the story of the republic's survival in 1923 offers essential lessons about the future of democracy today.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 473The Saint of the day is Saint John of CapistranoSaint John of Capistrano's Story It has been said the Christian saints are the world's greatest optimists. Not blind to the existence and consequences of evil, they base their confidence on the power of Christ's redemption. The power of conversion through Christ extends not only to sinful people but also to calamitous events. Imagine being born in the 14th century. One-third of the population and nearly 40 percent of the clergy were wiped out by the bubonic plague. The Western Schism split the Church with two or three claimants to the Holy See at one time. England and France were at war. The city-states of Italy were constantly in conflict. No wonder that gloom dominated the spirit of the culture and the times. John Capistrano was born in 1386. His education was thorough. His talents and success were great. When he was 26 he was made governor of Perugia. Imprisoned after a battle against the Malatestas, he resolved to change his way of life completely. At the age of 30 he entered the Franciscan novitiate and was ordained a priest four years later. John's preaching attracted great throngs at a time of religious apathy and confusion. He and 12 Franciscan brethren were received in the countries of central Europe as angels of God. They were instrumental in reviving a dying faith and devotion. The Franciscan Order itself was in turmoil over the interpretation and observance of the Rule of St. Francis. Through John's tireless efforts and his expertise in law, the heretical Fraticelli were suppressed and the “Spirituals” were freed from interference in their stricter observance. John of Capistrano helped bring about a brief reunion with the Greek and Armenian Churches. When the Turks captured Constantinople in 1453, John was commissioned to preach a crusade for the defense of Europe. Gaining little response in Bavaria and Austria, he decided to concentrate his efforts in Hungary. He led the army to Belgrade. Under the great General John Hunyadi, they gained an overwhelming victory, and the siege of Belgrade was lifted. Worn out by his superhuman efforts, Capistrano was an easy prey to an infection after the battle. He died on October 23, 1456. Reflection John Hofer, a biographer of John Capistrano, recalls a Brussels organization named after the saint. Seeking to solve life problems in a fully Christian spirit, its motto was: “Initiative, Organization, Activity.” These three words characterized John's life. He was not one to sit around. His deep Christian optimism drove him to battle problems at all levels with the confidence engendered by a deep faith in Christ.
