Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Clinton

Zohran Mamdani's primary win marks the end of the Democratic Party as we once knew it. Maybe they realize it, probably they don't, but it makes no difference. The truth is, it was already dead. They spent ten years going to war on Trump while also using him to scare their voters to the polls, with their endless crisis.Without a combative media to keep them in line, they didn't have to offer the people much of anything because they knew they would vote blue no matter who, as long as Trump was on the other side.Mamdani did the unthinkable. He ran as an unapologetic Democratic Socialist. He seemed to arrive almost magically to sell Gen-Z the dream. A showbiz nepo baby and former rapper, he was a whole lotta of charisma waiting for his ticket to ride. Has the Democratic Party found its new leader?There is still a question as to whether Mamdani can indeed pull out a win in the general election. Voters might turn out in droves to stop him. But maybe, just maybe, they won't. Perhaps they'll overlook high crime, “gender affirming care,” and the border crisis to explore what state-run grocery stores might look like.It's not really his policies that brought him to victory so much as his revolutionary spirit - he's like the living embodiment of the Summer of 2020. He wants to tear it all down, too. It's the demographic he appeals to that might herald a real revolution, considering it's the same demographic that backed Obama in 2008—Upper-Middle-Class white college kids.David Friedberg from the All in Podcast:Like Obama, Mamdani is cut from the same cloth. He hung out with them. He went to college with them. He was indoctrinated alongside them. He speaks their language. He knows their world. They'll follow him anywhere.Note the viral songs already hitting TikTok, where young women shake that groove thing as they chant his name.Mamdani tapped into Indoctrination Nation, the Evergreen generation that believes America is a corrupt, “white supremacist” empire crippled by Capitalism - but could you please hand me my iphone so I can make a TikTok?This generation came of age in a convenience culture that gave them everything they wanted when they wanted it - Uber, Netflix, abortion, DoorDash, Tinder, TikTok, iPhones, Google, and ChatGPT. Why can't they have democratic socialism if they want it?Because they don't really know what it means, and they don't care. They are a generation ready for the big moves, no more playing it safe. The Democrats should have listened to David Hogg, who was a harbinger of things to come.The Death RattleAfter Mamdani's win, it was all quiet on the Leftern Front. Bill Clinton was the first to weigh in. It was like cautiously approaching a coiled rattlesnake. Don't make any sudden moves.But the Democrats old enough to know the history must be in a panic. They know why Hillary had to crush the Bernie movement like a bug. They know how bad it got. So bad that Sarah Silverman and Al Franken had to try to calm down BernieMania as the crowd chanted “WAR HAWK” at Hillary.The Party Elders recall the bad old days, when they were undone by the Eugene McCarthy faction of the party because they were perceived as too extreme for the silent majority. They remember the catastrophic loss of George McGovern.They recall Jimmy Carter's malaise and how Uncle Teddy primaried him, ushering in 12 years of Reagan and Bush. They remember the dark days of the milquetoast normies who couldn't inspire crowds - like Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and John Kerry.Playing it safe worked until it didn't. Now they'll have to play it bold with an army at the ready, the same army they funded and praised all through the Summer of 2020 with the Autonomous Zones, torching businesses, all to sow chaos, to do the bidding of the Democrats just to take Trump out of power.This army had no choice but to absorb what a weaponized, biased press corps told them every day of their lives - when they called Trump a fascist, when they called him Hitler. The hysteria kept mounting, and purging bad people wasn't enough.This army is ready for a different war, a bigger war - a war against Israel, against ICE, against Trump, Capitalism, Free Enterprise, the gender binary, the cost of rent, mortgages, fossil fuels, and now, the Democratic Party.The legacy media have been covering up their violent riots, outbursts, and protests for a long time, so much so that most people on the Left don't even know about it. Even in the Summer of 2020, they didn't turn it into a significant news story. Why? Because it always had to go one way, it always had to be about Trump.The media will never take responsibility for what they've done, how they've lied for so long, and what that did to the minds of the young who spent the last ten years believing a fascist dictator had overtaken America.This army that torched Teslas and set cars on fire in Los Angeles has been hiding in plain sight, but the rest of the country is about to get a much closer look. Just wait until this Summer, because that army now has a real leader in Mamdani.Call Him DaddyAs Operation Midnight Hammer brought the might of the American military down on Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump was carefully, steadily coming in for a landing. As the passengers screamed and howled, imagining the absolute worst, Trump did what he always does - he hit the bullseye.Some were calling for his impeachment. Others regretted their vote and called him a “war criminal.” There was talk of regime change in Iran and a MAGA Civil War. It was pure chaos.But then, the plane touched down, and everyone burst into applause. After a few setbacks, a ceasefire was established. Even the leaders of NATO were impressed. How could you not be?As he racked up win after win after win, Trump was having the best two weeks of either of his presidencies.This week made one thing abundantly clear: Trump won the ten-year insurrection, coup, and war on his presidency, his supporters, and democracy itself. He beat them at the ballot box, he beat their lawfare:He beat them at the schools, stopping indoctrination and the denial of biological reality:In ordinary times, Trump would be hailed as the comeback kid who has erased the lies told about him in his first term and remade himself as one of the most consequential presidents in American history.But that was not going to happen because the so-called “resistance army” believes itself to still be at war with Trump.One of their favorite conduits is Natasha Bertrand at CNN, who was an easy mark to spin the narrative the Democrats needed, that Trump and Operation Midnight Hammer had failed:But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities.Missing in that report was that it was “low confidence,” and should never have been tossed out like bloody chum to draw the sharks.One of the reasons people like me no longer trust them is that we know the game by now, too. We'll find our information elsewhere from people we trust to tell us the truth, people who, unlike the Democrats and their corporate press, are looking out for the public's best interests.

Twenty-five years ago, President Bill Clinton announced a historic achievement: The completion of the first-ever survey of the human genome. The ceremony focused on the power of unity and collaboration — but, behind the scenes, the journey to this generational discovery had been marked by a bitter, cut-throat competition. We  look back at the race to decode the human genome — and who really won.

It has been 25 years since Bill Clinton announced one of humanity's most important scientific achievements: the first draft of the human genome. At the time, there was a great deal of excitement about the benefits that this new knowledge would bring, with predictions about curing genetic diseases and even cancer. To find out which of them came to pass, and what could be in store over the next two-and-a-half decades, Madeleine Finlay is joined by science editor Ian Sample, and hears from Prof Matthew Hurles, director of the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

Brad and Campy discuss the unusual ascension of Bill Clinton and noe the Muslim Socialists. How do We The People Respond?

Afternoon Headlines: First repatriation flight of Australians from Israel lands in Sydney, three men charged over murdered indigenous teenager Cassius Turvey and 27-year-old woman arrested over alleged cyber hacks at Western Sydney Uni Deep Dive: Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic Party candidate on track to be the next Mayor of New York City, propelled by a wave of community-led support with strong left-wing ideals. The 33-year-old candidate is making history as the first Muslim South Asian nominee, who has endorsements from Bill Clinton and is using TikTok algorithms to his advantage. In this episode of The Briefing Natarsha Belling is joined by Simran Pasricha from Pedestrian TV to unpack what lessons politicians around the world, including here in Australian, can learn from this changing of the political guard.

Send us a textThe most controversial issue that President Clinton tackled right off the back was changing the policy in the United States military banning homosexuals from serving. It would be met with opposition by Bob Dole, Strom Thurmond, Phil Gramm and the Joint Chiefs' of Staff. In fact, even the Democratic Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Sam Nunn, was opposed to the change. But Bill Clinton insisted that the issue would be addressed. After months of debate and study the policy that would be agreed to for years was "Don't Ask don't Tell" it would stand until President Barak Obama dropped the policy and the ban for good during his Presidency. What made this issue interesting , at least for me, and I hope you will pick up in this episode, is that the opposition did not jump on this issue in an attempt to politicize the problem. It was there, and the issue hurt the President in those years, but the Republicans tried to present their opposition in ways that did not inflame the public any more than it already was upset. It was a very different way of acting than what we have seen in modern times. Especially, with an issue as easy to politicize as this one was. It is an interesting episode in which we hear from all the major players, from Bob Dole, and Bill Clinton, to the Joint Chiefs, Strom Thurmond, Phil Gramm,  Don Rickles, and countless others all trying to find a proper solution to the issue.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Liên Hiệp Quốc tổ chức sinh nhật 80 tuổi bên bờ vực thẳm. Mùa hè năm 2025, cuộc chiến xâm lăng của Nga chống Ukraina, chiến tranh tàn phá dải Gaza tiếp diễn, cuộc chiến 4 ngày giữa hai cường quốc hạt nhân Ấn Độ - Pakistan, và gần đây nhất là cuộc can thiệp quân sự Mỹ-Israel chống Iran với mục tiêu ngăn chặn Teheran sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân, trong lúc châu Âu đang tìm cách đàm phán với Iran… Chiến tranh, xung đột vũ trang khắp nơi trước sự bất lực của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Cách nay tròn 80 năm, ngày 26/06/1945, bản Hiến chương Liên Hiệp Quốc (LHQ) đã được 50 quốc gia thông qua, với một trong các tôn chỉ hàng đầu là duy trì hoà bình trên hành tinh của chúng ta. Định chế quốc tế ra đời từ Đệ nhị Thế chiến giờ đây có còn hữu ích với nhân loại trong mục tiêu bảo vệ nền hoà bình thế giới ? Định chế quốc tế ra đời ngay trong Đệ nhị Thế chiến Trong một cuộc toạ đàm với chương trình Địa chính trị của RFI, nhà sử học Chloé Maurel, chuyên gia về LHQ, ghi nhận không khí đầy hy vọng vào thời điểm LHQ ra đời. “Liên Hiệp Quốc đã được hình dung, được nhen nhóm ngay trong thời gian Thế chiến II, bởi các quốc gia chủ chốt của phe Đồng Minh và chính thức ra mắt tại San Francisco năm 1945 trong không khí phấn chấn, lạc quan cao độ, với niềm khao khát và thậm chí niềm tin vào một thế giới đoạn tuyệt với chiến tranh, bởi Thế chiến Hai là cuộc xung đột khủng khiếp, chưa từng có với nhân loại, khiến tổng cộng 60 triệu người chết… Trong Hiến chương LHQ có những nguyên tắc rất tiến bộ, như bình đẳng nam - nữ, tiến bộ xã hội, quyết tâm giải quyết xung đột bằng thương lượng, cũng như mục tiêu mọi người đều có việc làm, tức liên quan nhiều đến các vấn đề xã hội”. Trái với quan niệm của không ít người, xem Liên Hiệp Quốc như một định chế ra đời sau Thế chiến II. Trên thực tế, như vị sử gia nói trên nhấn mạnh, dự án xây dựng định chế quốc tế - tập hợp hầu hết các quốc gia trên địa cầu trong tương lai - đã bắt đầu hình thành ngay trong thời gian Thế chiến II. Hiến chương Liên Hiệp Quốc được chuẩn bị từ năm 1941 đến năm 1945. Tuyên bố Saint James, tại Luân Đôn, năm 1941, chuẩn bị cho một nền công lý quốc tế tương lai, trừng phạt các thủ phạm gây tội ác chiến tranh, Tuyên bố Liên Hiệp Quốc (Declaration by United Nations) năm 1942, với 25 quốc gia của Mặt trận chống phát xít (đứng đầu là Mỹ, Anh, Liên Xô và Trung Hoa Dân Quốc), và các hội nghị Matxcơva, Teheran, Yalta, là những cái mốc đặt nền móng cho tổ chức Liên Hiệp Quốc ra đời sau đó, trước khi bản Hiến chương Liên Hiệp Quốc được công bố. Trong cuộc toạ đàm của chương trình Địa chính trị của RFI, nhà nghiên cứu Romuald Sciora - Viện Institut de relations internationales et stratégiques (Iris), tác giả cuốn ‘‘Ai muốn LHQ phải chết ?'' nhận định: “Khi LHQ được thành lập năm 1945 trên đổ nát hoang tàn của Thế chiến II, định chế này đã lấy cảm hướng từ Hội Quốc Liên. Dĩ nhiên, là có những sai lầm đã bị lắp lại, nhưng tuy nhiên, LHQ với Hội đồng Bảo an (hiện nay đã trở nên thực sự ít ý nghĩa và với nhiều người chúng ta là một cơ chế lệch pha trong việc quản lý các vấn đề quốc tế) vào thời điểm đó đã là một thay đổi cách mạng. Sự hình thành cơ chế này (với sự tham gia của Mỹ, khác hẳn với việc Mỹ đã không tham gia Hội Quốc Liên) có mục tiêu không để tổ chức này bị rơi vào thảm kịch như Hội Quốc Liên… LHQ đã là một sáng tạo của phương Tây, dựa trên các giá trị triết học phương Tây…, lấy cảm hứng từ các giá trị nhân văn chủ nghĩa lớn, ra đời vào thời Phục hưng tại châu Âu, được xác lập thành các lý thuyết sau đó trong thế kỷ Ánh Sáng ở châu Âu, được cụ thể hoá với sự trỗi dậy của các nền dân chủ phương Tây thế kỷ 19. Sự ra đời của LHQ năm 1945 và sau đó là Tuyên ngôn Quốc tế về Nhân quyền (1948), là sự hoàn tất của hệ thống này với việc hình thành chủ nghĩa đa phương.” Hành động của LHQ vì hoà bình trong thế giới lưỡng cực Mỹ - Xô: Những đóng góp và hạn chế Nói đến Liên Hiệp Quốc và hoà bình, nhiều người thường nghĩ ngay đến các lực lượng gìn giữ hoà bình của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Các lực lượng gìn giữ hoà bình của LHQ, thường được gọi là lực lượng “mũ nồi xanh” hiện bao gồm khoảng 70.000 binh sĩ, đến từ nhiều quốc gia, với 11 sứ mạng duy trì hòa bình đang được triển khai tại các khu vực tranh chấp, như giữa Ấn Độ - Pakistan, giữa Israel và Liban… theo đề nghị của các nước sở tại. Nhìn chung lực lượng gìn giữ hoà bình của LHQ thường chỉ có hiệu quả trong trường hợp xung đột giữa các lực lượng vũ trang có tổ chức chấp nhận ngừng bắn, thường là giữa hai quốc gia. Lý tưởng của Liên Hiệp Quốc về một “nền an ninh tập thể” - với việc thành lập một bộ tổng tham mưu, phụ trách trợ giúp Hội đồng Bảo an thực thi các nhiệm vụ quân sự, chiếu theo điều 47 của Liên Hiệp Quốc - rút cục đã không thể trở thành hiện thực, ngay sau khi LHQ ra đời, do thế đối đầu gia tăng giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô vào cuối thập niên 1940. Thế đối đầu Mỹ - Xô, và lá phiếu phủ quyết, khiến Hội đồng Bảo an không thể đưa ra các quyết định chung ngăn chặn chiến tranh. Trong giai đoạn này, Liên Hiệp Quốc “trở thành sân khấu cho cuộc đấu tranh quyền lực toàn cầu giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô”. Cạnh tranh này đã gây ra những cuộc xung đột thảm khốc mang tính khu vực, với các cuộc chiến tranh uỷ nhiệm (“proxy wars”), như ở Việt Nam và Afghanistan. Cuộc chạy đua vũ khí hạt nhân giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô từng đặt thế giới mấp mé bờ vực đại chiến, trước khi Liên Xô và Mỹ bắt đầu thương lượng về kiểm soát vũ khí chiến lược. Tuy nhiên, theo nhiều nhà quan sát, dù không giúp nhân loại tránh được một Thế chiến thứ ba, nhưng LHQ đã có phần đóng góp. Vào thời điểm căng thẳng cao độ của Chiến tranh Lạnh, LHQ là một diễn đàn để các nước nhỏ ngồi chung bàn với các nước lớn, các nước đối địch có thể chỉ trích nhau. Nhà sử học Chloé Maurel nhận xét : “Có thể nói LHQ là tổ chức dân chủ nhất trong các tổ chức quốc tế. Tổ chức này mang tính phổ quát nhất, nhân loại nhất, bởi vì tại Đại hội đồng, tất cả các nước, dù giàu hay nghèo, đều có một phiếu bầu như nhau. Đặc biệt, từ năm 1960, với việc phi thực dân hoá, nhiều nước mới độc lập gia nhập LHQ. Vào năm đó, có 17 nước châu Phi vừa giành được độc lập đã gia nhập LHQ. Trọng tâm của LHQ giờ đã thay đổi. Kể từ đó, LHQ bao gồm đa số là các nước ngoài phương Tây, ngoài châu Âu. Giờ đây, các thành viên thường trực Hội đồng Bảo an không còn tính chất đại diện khi đa số các thành viên LHQ giờ đây là ngoài phương Tây, là các nước châu Phi, châu Á, Mỹ Latinh.” Bức tường Berlin sụp đổ : Cơ hội vàng bị bỏ lỡ Sự sụp đổ của bức tường Berlin, và sự tan rã của khối Liên Xô được nhiều người ghi nhận như một thời điểm thuận lợi cho việc LHQ trỗi dậy, để đảm đương trách nhiệm thực thi các tôn chỉ của Hiến chương LHQ, gần nửa thế kỷ trước. Nhiều điều kiện đã hội tụ, nhưng bất hạnh thay, LHQ đã không tranh thủ được cơ hội vàng này, theo nhà nghiên cứu Romuald Sciora (Iris) : “Chúng ta vào thời điểm đó đã có được một tổng thống Mỹ George Bush cha, ngược hẳn với tổng thống Bush con, là một người nhiệt thành cổ vũ cho chủ nghĩa đa phương. Không phải chủ yếu vì người khác, mà bởi ông ấy hiểu rằng nếu nước Mỹ siêu cường muốn tiếp tục đóng vai trò kiến thiết trật tự quốc tế trong những thập niên tiếp theo và trong thế kỷ 21, thì chắc chắn Mỹ phải dẫn dắt được chủ nghĩa đa phương. Tổng thống Bush cha vốn là đại sứ Mỹ tại LHQ. Vào thời điểm đó, chúng ta đã có một tổng thư ký mới Boutros-Ghali (1992-1996), mà theo tôi là một người thực sự có tầm nhìn xa trông rộng nhất trong số các tổng thư ký LHQ, cùng với tổng thư ký thứ hai Dag Hammarskjold. Ông đã có nhiều kế hoạch hành động vì hoà bình, an ninh và dân chủ, phát triển… Và chúng ta đã có một Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hiệp Quốc đầu tiên ở cấp nguyên thủ quốc gia. Hiện tại có thể điều này được cho là bình thường, nhưng vào thời điểm đó, một tổng thống Mỹ ngồi chung một bàn bên lãnh đạo Nga thì thực sự là điều mới. Tóm lại, rất nhiều yếu tố thuận lợi đã có mặt vào thời điểm đó. Tuy nhiên, bất hạnh thay với LHQ, và có một chút mỉa mai ở đây, là tổng thống đảng Dân Chủ đắc cử, ông Bill Clinton, là người không hề có viễn kiến này, không hề ủng hộ chủ nghĩa đa phương chút nào. Chính quyền Clinton hoàn toàn ngoảnh mặt với các vấn đề quốc tế, mặt khác tổng thư ký Boutros-Ghali cũng không được ngoại giao lắm với tổng thống Mỹ. Rút cuộc một xung đột khiến ông Boutros-Ghali phải ra đi vào năm 1996. Vào thời điểm đó, lẽ ra LHQ phải có được một ảnh hưởng chính trị, nhưng rốt cuộc  ảnh hưởng chính trị của LHQ lại suy yếu.” Thế giới “Đơn cực” chuyển sang “Hậu đơn cực”, nguy cơ cáo chung của LHQ Ba thập niên sau khi Chiến tranh lạnh kết thúc, “Trật tự thế giới mới”, với nước Mỹ là siêu cường duy nhất (tức Thế giới đơn cực), mà nhiều người tin tưởng là sẽ được khẳng định vĩnh viễn, với sự toàn thắng của nền dân chủ tự do phương Tây, được coi là mẫu mực đối với toàn nhân loại, giờ đây đang đứng trên bờ vực tan vỡ. Cựu thủ tướng Anh Gordon Brown (2007 – 2010), cũng như không ít người khác, nói thẳng là “trật tự thế giới mới” của 35 năm vừa qua “đang sụp đổ trước mắt chúng ta”. Brian Brivati, giáo sư thỉnh giảng về lịch sử đương đại và nhân quyền tại Đại học Kingston, Anh, thì nói đến tình trạng “một trụ cột của trật tự hậu chiến đang tấn công một trụ cột khác”, khi “người sáng lập hàng đầu của Liên Hiệp Quốc (Mỹ) đang làm suy yếu thể chế này từ bên trong, sử dụng quyền phủ quyết của Hội đồng Bảo an để ngăn chặn hành động (phi pháp, như cuộc chiến của Israel tại Gaza, bị Toà án Hình sự quốc tế kết án, và Đại hội đồng Liên Hợp Quốc lên án), trong khi đồng thời làm cạn kiệt nguồn lực của tổ chức này”. “Sự kết hợp giữa một quốc gia hùng mạnh hành động vô trách nhiệm (Israel) và một siêu cường (Mỹ) vô hiệu hóa các cơ chế giải trình đánh dấu một bước ngoặt toàn cầu… và các cường quốc toàn cầu khác, bao gồm Nga và Trung Quốc, đang tận dụng cơ hội này để vượt ra khỏi hệ thống dựa trên luật lệ của phương Tây” (Xung đột Israel-Iran ‘‘đóng chiếc đinh cuối cùng vào chiếc quan tài của Trật tự thế giới'', France 24, ngày 19/06/2025). Chuyên gia Ian Bremmer, chủ tịch công ty tư vấn về rủi ro toàn cầu Eurasia Group, trong một bài viết trên trang mạng Carnegie.org, nêu bật tình trạng thể chế chủ chốt của trật tự thế giới như Hội đồng Bảo an “không còn phản ánh được thế cân bằng cơ bản của quyền lực toàn cầu”, và chỉ ra ba nguyên nhân chính của tình trạng trật tự toàn cầu bị đe doạ tan vỡ trong thế giới “hậu đơn cực” hiện nay : “Vấn đề cốt lõi mà trật tự toàn cầu phải đối mặt là các thể chế quốc tế chủ chốt của trật tự này — Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hiệp Quốc, Quỹ Tiền tệ Quốc tế, Ngân hàng Thế giới, v.v. — không còn phản ánh được sự cân bằng cơ bản của quyền lực toàn cầu. Đây là một cuộc suy thoái về địa chính trị, một ‘‘chu kỳ suy thoái'' trong quan hệ quốc tế có thể bắt nguồn từ ba nguyên nhân cơ bản sau đây, theo thứ tự tăng dần về tầm quan trọng. Nguyên nhân đầu tiên là phương Tây đã không thể đưa Nga vào trật tự toàn cầu do Mỹ lãnh đạo sau khi Liên Xô sụp đổ, gây ra sự phẫn nộ và thù địch sâu sắc. Chúng ta có thể tranh luận về việc ai đáng bị chê trách, nhưng hậu quả là không thể phủ nhận: Giờ đây, một cường quốc trước đây đang suy yếu nghiêm trọng là Nga đã chuyển từ một đối tác tiềm năng thành một quốc gia côn đồ nguy hiểm nhất thế giới, quyết làm mất ổn định trật tự do Mỹ lãnh đạo và xây dựng quan hệ đối tác chiến lược quân sự với các tác nhân gây hỗn loạn khác như Bắc Triều Tiên và Iran. Thứ hai là Trung Quốc từng được hội nhập vào trật tự quốc tế — quan trọng là với tư cách là thành viên của Tổ chức Thương mại Thế giới — với giả định rằng hội nhập kinh tế toàn cầu sẽ khuyến khích các lãnh đạo của nước này tự do hóa hệ thống chính trị và trở thành các đối tác toàn cầu có trách nhiệm theo định nghĩa của phương Tây. Thay vào đó, Trung Quốc trở nên hùng mạnh hơn nhiều, nhưng không dân chủ hơn hoặc không ủng hộ nhà nước pháp quyền hơn. Căng thẳng gia tăng, thậm chí là đối đầu, giữa Trung Quốc và phương Tây chính là hậu quả của điều đó. Thứ ba, và có lẽ là hậu quả nghiêm trọng nhất, đó là hàng chục triệu công dân ở chính các nền dân chủ tiên tiến đã kết luận rằng các giá trị toàn cầu mà các nhà lãnh đạo và giới tinh hoa của họ thúc đẩy không còn có lợi cho họ nữa. Bất bình đẳng gia tăng, những thay đổi về nhân khẩu học và sự phát triển đột phá của các công nghệ đã làm xói mòn niềm tin vào các thể chế dân chủ và làm giảm năng lực lãnh đạo toàn cầu của chính các quốc gia này. Không nơi nào điều này có hậu quả nghiêm trọng hơn ở quốc gia vẫn không thể thiếu này, đó là Mỹ, nơi tổng thống Donald Trump vừa nuôi dưỡng vừa lợi dụng làn sóng phản toàn cầu hóa, phản thiết chế này.” “Chủ nghĩa đa phương”, cội nguồn sức mạnh của Liên Hiệp Quốc Trả lời phỏng vấn chương trình “Decryptage” của RFI (bài Chủ nghĩa đa phương khủng hoảng : Tương lai bất định của LHQ), Guillaume Devin, giáo sư danh dự Trường Sciences Po Paris, chuyên về LHQ và chủ nghĩa đa phương, nhấn mạnh đến tính chất không thể thay thế của LHQ trong việc giải quyết xung đột trên thế giới, đặc biệt nhờ “chủ nghĩa đa phương” và các hoạt động đa dạng và quy mô rộng lớn do LHQ tổ chức hoặc tạo điều kiện, nhằm giải quyết các cội rễ sâu xa của các xung đột : “Một trong các lợi thế của chủ nghĩa đa phương là mang lại các diễn đàn, mà ở đó mọi thứ đều có thể. Ở đó có các cuộc thảo luận chính thức, nhưng cũng có các cuộc trò chuyện hành lang, có các cuộc họp đa phương, nhưng cũng có các cuộc tiếp xúc song phương. Các diễn đàn này là không thể thay thế. Nếu chúng biến mất vào ngày mai, tôi nghĩ chúng ta sẽ ngay lập tức buộc phải tái tạo chúng. LHQ cung cấp các không gian cực kỳ quan trọng, các câu lạc bộ tương đối mở, khác hẳn so với các nhóm G7, G20, BRICS, v.v., vốn là những câu lạc bộ rất hạn chế thành phần tham gia… Và tiếp theo đó, Liên Hiệp Quốc không chỉ là những dàn xếp giữa các nước. Quý vị biết, chúng ta thường nói về ba Liên Hiệp Quốc. Đầu tiên là cuộc họp lớn của các quốc gia và các hoạt động liên quốc gia. Thứ hai là tất cả các cơ quan, chương trình và tổ chức chuyên môn của Liên Hiệp Quốc cực kỳ quan trọng, quản lý môi trường, y tế và hành động nhân đạo trên toàn thế giới... Và những điều này liên quan đến giải quyết xung đột. Như phát biểu của tổng thống Brazil, Lula, đòi hỏi phải giảm bất bình đẳng, đòi hỏi phải quản trị tốt hơn, và các cơ quan của Liên Hiệp Quốc đóng góp vào điều đó. Và cuối cùng, Liên Hiệp Quốc thứ ba là Liên Hiệp Quốc của ‘‘các tác nhân phi nhà nước''. Liên Hiệp Quốc là một nam châm thu hút đáng kể, làm tăng trưởng các tác nhân phi nhà nước, giống như Hội Quốc Liên, với tinh thần Geneva sau Thế chiến thứ nhất, từng huy động các hội cứu trợ và những gì mà vào thời điểm đó không được gọi là các tổ chức phi chính phủ, mà là các hiệp hội quốc tế đầu tiên.” Tuy nhiên, chủ nghĩa đa phương, vốn làm nên sức mạnh và sự hữu ích của LHQ, cũng là cơ chế đang đứng trước đe dọa bị hủy diệt trong bối cảnh thế giới hậu đơn cực hiện nay. Cứu vãn chủ nghĩa đa phương là một trong các mục tiêu hàng đầu của Thoả ước vì Tương lai, được các thành viên LHQ thông qua hồi cuối năm ngoái. Một nội dung chính của Thỏa ước này là hướng đến cải tổ triệt để Hội đồng Bảo an. Nghệ thuật kiến tạo hoà bình có thể thay thế cho “nền hoà bình bằng sức mạnh” ? Thế giới “hậu đơn cực” đang bước vào giai đoạn đầy bất định. “Nền hoà bình bằng sức mạnh” đi kèm với chạy đua vũ trang là đang trở thành xu thế từ nhiều năm nay, điều mà nhiều người coi là tất yếu. Trong xu thế này, chủ nghĩa dân tộc, với quan điểm “lợi ích dân tộc” là “trên hết”, là “vĩnh viễn”, đang được thổi bùng lên tại nhiều nơi, tại các nước phát triển cũng như các quốc gia đang trỗi dậy, như giải pháp vạn năng để hoá giải các thách thức. Nỗ lực vì các giá trị chung đang ngày càng bị coi nhẹ, thậm chí bị khinh rẻ, đả kích. Nhưng giá trị không mâu thuẫn với lợi ích. Trở lại với cội nguồn của Liên Hiệp Quốc, định chế quốc tế ra đời ngay trong Thế chiến II, có thể rút ra nhiều bài học thành công và thất bại, về các giá trị nhân bản, chủ nghĩa đa phương trong truyền thống phương Tây đã giúp thúc đẩy sự ra đời của một định chế quốc tế toàn cầu chưa từng có, có sứ mạng bảo vệ hoà bình thế giới như thế nào. Nhiều người đặt hy vọng vào một “chủ nghĩa đa phương mới” (new multilateralism). Nhà chính trị học Pháp Bertrand Badie vừa cho ra mắt cuốn sách mới “Art de la paix” (tạm dịch là ''Nghệ thuật kiến tạo hoà bình”). Trả lời RFI nhân dịp sách ra mắt, Bertrand Badie nhắc lại câu nói của nhà thần học Bắc Phi Thánh Augustino, “hoà bình trước hết đến từ việc thỏa mãn những nhu cầu căn bản của con người, ăn và có nước sạch”. Môi trường, khí hậu là tài sản chung. Khi môi trường, khí hậu bị xâm hại vì các lợi ích cục bộ và ích kỷ, khó có thể nói đến một nền hoà bình bền vững. Bertrand Badie khuyến cáo việc hướng đến xây dựng “những mẫu số chung” của nhân loại, một trật tự toàn cầu mới, nơi tất cả được tôn trọng. Liên Hiệp Quốc có còn hữu ích cho nhân loại hay không trong mục tiêu bảo vệ hoà bình phụ thuộc vào việc nhân loại góp sức ra sao cho nghệ thuật kiến tạo hoà bình, cho chủ nghĩa đa phương, mà Liên Hiệp Quốc đã và đang cung cấp một sân chơi chưa từng có trong lịch sử.

In a stunning upset, 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani clinched the Democratic primary for New York City's mayoral race, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo, a centrist heavyweight backed by billionaire donors. Mamdani's victory, declared on June 24, 2025, after Cuomo conceded, marks a seismic shift in the city's politics, fueled by a progressive surge and ranked-choice voting. His grassroots campaign, emphasizing rent freezes, free public transit, and affordability, resonated with young and marginalized voters, drawing endorsements from figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Despite Cuomo's early lead and establishment support, including from Bill Clinton and Michael Bloomberg, Mamdani's momentum—bolstered by over $7 million from 16,000+ donors—overturned expectations.The race was volatile, with incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, indicted on corruption charges, opting to run as an independent after exiting the Democratic primary. Adams' unpopularity and the dismissal of his charges in April reshaped the contest, setting up a potential four-way general election in November against Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and independent Jim Walden. Mamdani's lead in the primary, where over 1 million voted, signals a generational revolt against the Democratic old guard. His platform, rooted in social justice and affordability, could redefine New York's future, though his progressive stance may polarize voters in the general election. This upset underscores the city's appetite for change amid rising costs and political disillusionment.The DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis.

Aujourd'hui, il suffit de sortir son téléphone pour connaître sa position exacte sur Terre. Mais ce confort technologique, si banal aujourd'hui, trouve son origine dans un événement tragique. Car l'ouverture du GPS au grand public n'est pas née d'un progrès pacifique… mais d'un drame en pleine Guerre froide.Tout commence le 1er septembre 1983. Un Boeing 747 de la compagnie Korean Air Lines, vol 007, quitte New York à destination de Séoul. Mais quelque part au-dessus de l'océan Pacifique, l'avion s'écarte de sa trajectoire prévue. Il vole à l'aveugle, guidé uniquement par des instruments de navigation classiques, reposant sur le magnétisme terrestre.Ce que l'équipage ignore, c'est que leur appareil entre dans l'espace aérien soviétique, au-dessus de la péninsule de Sakhaline, une zone ultra-sensible militairement. Les Soviétiques, convaincus d'avoir affaire à un avion espion américain, ne prennent aucun risque. Deux chasseurs sont envoyés. L'un d'eux tire un missile. Le Boeing est abattu. Les 269 passagers et membres d'équipage périssent.L'émotion est immense. Le choc est mondial. Et à Washington, le président Ronald Reagan décide de réagir, pas seulement sur le plan diplomatique, mais aussi technologique.À l'époque, les États-Unis disposent déjà du GPS, un système de géolocalisation par satellite, mais il est réservé aux militaires. Reagan annonce alors une décision stratégique : une fois le système finalisé, le GPS sera ouvert à l'usage civil dans le monde entier, gratuitement. L'idée : permettre à l'avenir à tout avion, bateau ou véhicule, de connaître sa position avec précision et d'éviter de tels accidents.Mais il y a un bémol : pendant des années, l'armée américaine garde une main sur le système. Une dégradation volontaire de la précision, appelée "Selective Availability" (SA), est activée. Les civils peuvent utiliser le GPS, mais avec une précision limitée à environ 100 mètres.Il faut attendre l'an 2000 pour que cette restriction soit levée. Le président Bill Clinton donne alors l'ordre de désactiver le SA. Résultat : la précision passe à quelques mètres pour tous les utilisateurs. C'est cette décision qui marque le véritable envol du GPS dans la vie quotidienne : dans les voitures, les téléphones, les avions, les montres de sport.Ce que l'on oublie souvent, c'est que derrière ce confort moderne se cache une tragédie. Le GPS civil, ce n'est pas seulement de la technologie : c'est aussi une réponse politique à une erreur de navigation fatale. Un progrès né du chaos, comme souvent dans l'histoire. Hébergé par Acast.

Send us a textAs we start down the road of the Clinton years we shall see that both men, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole , struggle just a bit to get their sea legs in their new positions. We start out with inside footage of Bill Clinton as he starts his first meeting with his cabinet and later his first meeting with the Congressional Leadership. We will also see him as he meets the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan for the first time. We will then listen as Greenspan talks to 60 Minutes about his time in the chairman's role and his assessment of Bill Clinton. The two men worked closely together and often Clinton listened to him as they set financial policy together. Then we follow Bob Dole as he goes and speaks to the Nations' Governors as the Senate Minority Leader, but everyone in the room recognizes his unspoken position as the leader of the Republican Party in America. That is a new role for Bob Dole who has often been the Senate Leader but usually under a Republican President, either Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush, but in 1993 he is the unquestioned  leader of his party. Here you will hear him speak and answer questions with unusual humor and candor, as both men begin a new era in Washington D.C.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Send us a text1993 to 1994 will really be a clash between two political titans, Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole and President Bill Clinton. As we begin in what will be essentially a two part biographical series of both men, we thought we would take a look at both of them from interviews made during the early days of 1993, before we had any idea exactly what the future would hold for either of them. We will listen to several interviews of then President-Elect Clinton aired on the day he took office looking back at the journey that brought him to the White House. Then we will listen to a 60 Minutes interview conducted by Steve Kroft with Bob Dole and hear his life story and about how he was dealing with the new Clinton Administration. In it you see how his life was reborn thanks to his new status as the leading Republican in America. This episode we hope will give you some real insights into the personalities of both men, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, and how it would affect the history of the nation over these next four years.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

My book's been a long time in the making. Factual, emotional, shocking, and not for the faint-of-heart, THE BEAUTY QUEEN is all this and more. As soon as my first-grade teacher, Sister Steven Maria, taught me to write, I began expressing myself with words. Through the years, I consistently documented my life through writing. You will quickly learn I don't believe in coincidences.My story is true; I've lived it all and NO—it isn't a bragging book. The Beauty Queen is a complicated adventure through the shame of incest, sexual abuse, dominance, and control; of once-in-a-lifetime experiences and a living death. But, never fear. There are many funny stories, personal photos and documents, a few naughty revelations, and more than enough "shock" to keep your attention.Consider my book a how-to book on surviving a life targeted by Hate, Jealousy, Bullying, Evil, and Intimidation. I consider my disclosures a tribute to me-- the Beauty Queen—who, even today, refuses to be a victim. My story is also about the “little girl in me.” She's my life-long friend—the one who never grew up, gave up, or, gave in.Some people will purchase my book based on THE CLINTON CHAPTERS. I had no plans to include the Clintons in my book until last year when I learned, once again, I was being followed, spied on, and threatened by Hillary's Henchmen. Flaunting her importance this election year, Hillary is using the same old "playbook" from the nineties to threaten me. Tired of Hillary's bullying, I expanded my book to include the Clintons. For the first time-ever, I expose the intimate details of my three month encounter with Bill Clinton. And, I reveal the exclusive revelations about Hillary---as told to me by Bill.I've endured Hillary's ugly harassment since 1992. Trust me; Hillary likes to play "dirty" so, I'm digging in the dirt to share each life-threatening moment she directed my way during the nineties. Best of all, I reveal the dirty details of my “run-in” with both Clintons and Madeline Albright---—in China.I invite you to read my story.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! In this episode, we explore the political journey of Bob Barr following his high-profile role as a House manager during President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial. Once a staunch conservative Republican, Barr's career took a series of surprising turns — from continuing his tenure in Congress to eventually becoming the Libertarian Party's 2008 presidential nominee. We trace his path through post-impeachment politics, his advocacy for civil liberties, and the ideological shift that redefined his public persona. Tune in for a look at one of the more complex and controversial figures of late 20th-century American politics.

On this episode of the podcast, Rex sits down for an in-depth discussion with one of his longtime religious mentors and a man he says many refer to as "Arkansas' pastor," Rex Horne, the outgoing executive director of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. With Horne's decades-long career as a prominent Baptist leader, educator and administrator, the two cover a range of topics related to faith, ministry and leadership in this installment of the podcast. The conversation begins with Horne's explaining his recent decision to step down as overseer of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, an announcement released to the public in April, and why he believes now is the right time for the Convention to take on new leadership. Horne, who began his tenure in October 2022 after retiring from a career in ministry and higher education administration, tells Rex that "institutions go through transitions" and understands that organizations occasionally need new oversight and direction. Next, Horne shares his thoughts on why mainstream Christian denominations are becoming "something from the past" and his belief that generational changes and different interpretations of the Bible have played a significant role in the evolution of churches and church attendance. The conversation then transitions to Horne's nine year tenure as president of Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, where he learned about higher education and serving as a university leader by listening to and learning from the university's faculty, staff and students. Finally, Horne describes his experiences growing up in the Baptist faith in southern Arkansas, which led to his "call to ministry," including his time growing and expanding Little Rock's Immanuel Baptist Church from 1990 to 2006. In this influential role, Horne tells Rex about serving as President Bill Clinton's spiritual advisor and overseeing a $40 million building project that resulted in the church's relocation to a much larger facility on North Shackleford Road. Horne has now returned to pastoring, and the conversation concludes with a brief discussion on how he is leading Hope Church in the city's Hillcrest neighborhood, which allows him to continue to be "someone who wants to make a difference," as he describes it.    Follow Rex Nelson's Southern Fried Podcast on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, or visit arkansasonline.com/podcast23 for an exclusive subscription offer available only to podcast listeners.  Chapters (00:00:17) - Southern Fried Podcast(00:01:05) - Arkansas Baptist State Convention Leader Rex Burkett on His Step Down(00:03:16) - When to Step Down as President of the Oklahoma Baptist Convention(00:06:53) - Arkansas Baptists Speak Out on the Decline of the Main(00:13:44) - Congregation at Pulaski Heights Baptist Church(00:15:01) - A message on the first year of the college presidency(00:19:20) - Independent Colleges and their role in Arkansas(00:21:08) - Pastor Clinton on Being President Bill Clinton's Pastor(00:27:48) - Arkansas Pastor Rex Horn on Why He Lived in the State

Send us a textIn our premier episode of our 15th Season, we start back at the dawn of the Clinton Administration as Bill Clinton has just been elected President of the United States, and his party is left in full control of Congress. It all appears to be a beautiful honeymoon on the horizon for the new Commander in Chief. There is only one problem from basking in the glow of that honeymoon. Bob Dole is the chaperone. We will open up with Bob Dole's day after the election press conference in the Senate as he runs down the election results across the country and welcomes the new President Elect to Washington D.C. Dole will be quick to point out that his 43 Senate votes is the equal to Bill Clinton's victory percentage. It is clear by this press conferences' end that the new President will not have an opposition leader willing to lay down for him. But what is also clear is that Bob Dole does not intend to be an obstructionist on every single issue but hopes to find common ground with the new President. It is the first day of a political duel of two titans who will match wits with one another for the next four years and in the process both the Republican Party and the career of Bob Dole, who just the year before had contemplated retirement, will be re-born. In this episode, we will also listen to two documentaries that will look back at the life of the Senate Leader as we start our three season look at the career of Bob Dole and his chief rival Bill Clinton.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

James unloads on Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan's decision to run for Michigan governor as an independent, calling it a cowardly, self-serving strategy wrapped in faux centrism. He argues that Duggan didn't leave the Democratic Party to offer something new—he fled it to avoid facing Jocelyn Benson in a primary. He exposes Duggan's contradictory campaign moves, like hoisting the Pride flag while claiming to be a moderate, and draws comparisons to Bill Clinton's “Sister Souljah” moment, which Duggan avoided.Discover more at Enjoyer.com/PodcastFollow GUEST NAME on X:Follow James on X: @DownI75 This is a public episode.

On today's episode, Michael Smerconish dives into the latest poll question at Smerconish.com: “Do you agree with Bill Clinton that the book Original Sin is being used to unfairly blame Joe Biden for Donald Trump's election?” After recently interviewing former President Bill Clinton and best-selling author James Patterson about their new political thriller, Michael shares insights on the book's surprising substance—particularly Clinton's vision for tackling the national debt, tucked into a beach read. But while Smerconish zeroed in on the book's fiscal message, others focused on Clinton's comments regarding President Biden and his role in Trump's reelection. Is this new narrative fair—or a strategic rewrite of political responsibility? Listen for Michael's take, then head to Smerconish.com to vote on today's question and make your voice heard.

Trump's tariffs were initially banned – before being overturned within a day. A federal court had blocked the tariffs on Wednesday night after three judges ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority when introducing them. But just a day later the decision was temporarily paused after a federal appeal court reinstated the tariffs. The White House now says they will “win this battle in court”. We explain what it all means and dig deeper into the legal aspect of the economic measures.Also on the programme: Israel has announced a major expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. More than twenty new settlements have been approved. We hear from a Settler and a Palestinian living in the West Bank. And, Elon Musk has left the US Department of Government Efficiency, also known as Doge. We speak to someone who was also given the task of ‘reinventing government' efficiency during Bill Clinton's time in power to discuss how effective Musk really was in his job.(Photo: IBEX rises 0.49 percent pending the blocking of Trump's tariffs, Madrid, Spain Credit: VEGA ALONSO DEL VAL/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock)

Joanna Coles sits down with legendary Democratic strategist James Carville, the “Ragin' Cajun” who helped elect Bill Clinton and has never been shy about saying what his party needs to hear. Carville unloads on why Trump's media circus is a deliberate smokescreen, keeping Americans distracted from real economic anxieties—rising costs and disappearing job security. He breaks down why Democrats are failing to cut through the noise and warns that "pronoun" obsessed liberals are more trouble than they're worth and should go off to start their own party.

When you think about great political comebacks, maybe you think of Donald Trump, or Richard Nixon, or “comeback kid” Bill Clinton. You might soon add Andrew Cuomo to that list. In 2020, Cuomo was at the top of the world. He had been governor of New York for a decade. He had an illustrious career in New York politics—which is sort of the Cuomo family business. He learned how the state worked from his father, three-term Democratic governor Mario Cuomo. When COVID hit, Governor Cuomo's star just kept rising. Millions of Americans—even outside of New York—tuned into his COVID briefings, and his CNN segments with his brother, Chris Cuomo. He was “America's Governor.” On the cover of Rolling Stone. Women and men were even self-identifying as “Cuomosexual.” But then it all came crashing down. With two scandals—one personal and one political. As Covid was peaking in New York City, Andrew Cuomo was hit with a wave of allegations. In the end, state Attorney General Letitia James brought forward a report that alleged Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women. (Cuomo denies wrongdoing.) The other scandal, as many will recall, had to do with Covid—specifically, Cuomo's administration was accused of mishandling the readmission of elders who'd had Covid into nursing homes, and many alleged that he misrepresented the nursing home death count. The governor disputes that, as you'll hear today. By August 2021, Cuomo announced his resignation. His political career appeared to be over. For a time, he totally disappeared from public life. He went from having an audience of 59 million tuning into his Covid briefings to zero. But today, in May of 2025, the picture is dramatically different. Andrew Cuomo is now the front-runner to be the next mayor of New York City. Among Democrats—the party that tore him down—he has a commanding lead, polling at around 37 percent ahead of next month's primary. His closest competitor, 33-year-old socialist state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, is hovering around 18 percent, according to a Marist Marist poll from just last week. So, what is it about Andrew Cuomo? Will New York choose Andrew Cuomo again? And if so, why? What does that say about the state of the city and our political choices? And why does he want the job of mayor at all? Today on Honestly, Bari asks former governor Andrew Cuomo about all of it—Covid and the harassment allegations, but also his vision for New York City, addressing public safety and affordability, his thoughts on school choice, Eric Adams's tenure, the state of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump, illegal immigrants in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and his plan for getting NYC back on track.
