When do limits on majorities enhance democratic rule, and when do they undermine it? Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, well-known as authors of the best-selling book How Democracies Die, about their new framework for understanding when the best way to protect democracy is to constrain the wishes of the majority, and when we need to empower them. Lumping all majoritarian measures into the same category, they argue, can lead us to preserve and prescribe outdated and undemocratic institutions that distort political competition and may undermine democratic legitimacy. So does saving democracy actually depend on the recognition that while special protections for powerful minorities may have helped to secure the historical passage to democracy, today the healthiest democracies empower majorities? This episode is based on Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt's article “When Should the Majority Rule?” that was published in the January 2025 issue of the Journal of Democracy, and is part of an ongoing partnership between the Journal of Democracy and the People, Power, Politics podcast. A transcript is available for download here. Steven Levitsky is Professor of Government at Harvard University and the co-author of How Democracies Die (2018), which won the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Arthur Ross Book Award. A leading scholar of authoritarianism and democratic backsliding, his earlier works include Competitive Authoritarianism: Hybrid Regimes After the Cold War (2010). Levitsky directs Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies and served as Vice Provost for International Affairs. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Karl Deutsch Award for his contributions to comparative politics. His research spans Latin American politics, party systems, and informal institutions, influencing both academic debate and public discourse on democracy's challenges. Daniel Ziblatt is Eaton Professor of the Science of Government at Harvard University and co-author of How Democracies Die (2018), which won the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Arthur Ross Book Award. His book Conservative Advantage (2017) received the Luebbert Prize for the Best Book on Comparative Politics. Ziblatt's research explores democratic durability and party systems, especially in Europe. He serves as Co-Director of Harvard's Center for European Studies and holds a Guggenheim Fellowship. His work has significantly influenced understandings of conservative parties' roles in sustaining democracy and the threats posed by their erosion. Nic Cheeseman is the Professor of Democracy and International Development at the University of Birmingham and Founding Director of CEDAR. The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world.

As October 7 has faded in the public consciousness, a pervasive narrative has taken hold that Israel are the real antagonists of the war in Gaza. Western media is overwhelmingly anti-Israel (and in some instances, flat out antisemitic). There are few people with the experience and honesty to cut through the fog of war and explain the conflict as it is. John Spencer is one of those people.John is considered one of the world's leading experts on urban warfare, having served as an advisor to the top four-star general and other senior leaders in the U.S. Army as part of strategic research groups from the Pentagon to the United States Military Academy.John currently serves as the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and Co-Director of the Urban Warfare Project.Follow Will Kingston and Fire at Will on social media here.Read The Spectator Australia here.Visit John's website here.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump held a press conference from the Oval Office—announcing that Space Command headquarters will move from Colorado to Alabama. While taking questions from reporters, Trump addressed ridiculous rumors circulating on BlueSky claiming that he had died over the weekend. The president also vowed to deploy National Guard and ICE to Chicago as part of an effort to crackdown on crime and illegal immigration. 5:15pm- Why aren't Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson willing to accept help from the federal government? According to The Washington Post, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has issued an executive order welcoming federal law enforcement's presence with no expiration date. Bowser, a Democrat, emphasized her “shared priorities” with President Trump to crackdown on violent crime. Rich emphasizes this is more proof Trump's plan is working. 5:20pm- Co-Director of Harvard CAPS/Harris polling Mark Penn notes that there is a “favorable” response from Americans—regardless of political party—for Trump's crackdown on violent crime. 5:30pm- While endorsing Zohran Mamdani for Mayor, New York Attorney General Letitia James explained that Mamdani is qualified because he once served as Vice President of his high school class. 5:40pm- Matt is still watching “Leave It To Beaver” reruns—he's now on Season 3, in case anyone was wondering (you probably weren't). Plus, can he even name a Woody Allen movie? 5:50pm- We debut Newman Price's brand-new song (maybe his best one ever): “When Friday Rolls Around, Zeoli is Off.”

The president also vowed to deploy National Guard and ICE to Chicago as part of an effort to crackdown on crime and illegal immigration. 3:40pm- While addressing a crowd of supporters, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joked about far-left, baseless conspiracy theories that President Trump had died over the weekend: "You get up in the morning, you doom-scroll through things and—although, I will say that the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news. Just saying!” 3:50pm- New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli's campaign released its latest advertisement—focusing on Phil Murphy and Mikie Sherrill's failed energy policies and their history of supporting rises in property taxes. 4:05pm- Ciattarelli vs Sherrill: If Mikie Sherrill wins the New Jersey gubernatorial race, it's almost certain she'll immediately turn her attention to a 2028 run for president—prioritizing her own political future over New Jersey residents. Plus, Rich notes that artificial intelligence requires enormous amounts of energy—something Democrats seem unwilling to acknowledge. If Jack Ciattarelli doesn't win, are your energy prices going to continue to go up? 4:15pm- While speaking with CBS News's Face the Nation, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said he doesn't want to gerrymander his state any further—but suggested he's willing to wipe out all Republican districts if needed. 4:30pm- David Gelman—Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, & a Surrogate for Donald Trump's Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a federal judge releasing a woman who was accused of threatening to kill President Donald Trump. 4:50pm- Did Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner encourage citizens to dox immigration agents making arrests in the city? 5:05pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump held a press conference from the Oval Office—announcing that Space Command headquarters will move from Colorado to Alabama.

Early in morning of Monday, August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall near the Louisiana / Mississippi state line and the eyewall passed over the cities of Bay St. Louis and Waveland as a Category 3 hurricane. A 27 foot storm surge with sustained winds of 120 mph made for a devastating one-two punch that rocked even the most storm-hardened shelters and wiped away 90% of all structures within six miles of the beach.   Joining us for the interview today we have Dr. David Holt, Associate Professor of Geography in the School of Biological, Environmental and Earth Sciences and coordinator of the Sustainability Sciences BS program at USM, and Dr. Deanne Stephens, Co-Director of the Center for the Study of the Gulf South at USM.   To their expertise, we add the raw accounts of city officials, firemen, nurses, and everyday people who share their stories of survival and tragedy during those harrowing hours when life and death hung in the balance.   Hosted by Bill Ellison Produced by Ross Walton  Executive Producer Dr. Kevin Greene. Written by Ross Walton, Isabel Loya, Jerra Runnels, Andrew Leib, and Holli Parker. Additional interviews were conducted by Isabel Loya, Jerra Runnels and Andrew Leib. Special thanks to the Center for the Study of the National Guard and the Mississippi Humanities Council.

Eliot and Eric welcome John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies with the Madison Policy Forum and Co-Director of the Urban Warfare Project and author of numerous articles and studies of urban and subterranean warfare. They discuss the unique characteristics of urban warfare, the traditional U.S. military approach to urban warfare as well as historical examples from the U.S.-Mexican War in the 19th Century to more recent examples like the Battle of Aachen in World War II and the Battles of Baghdad, Fallujah, and Sadr City during the Iraq War. Based on Spencer's multiple trips to Israel and Gaza, they also discuss how the Israeli Defense Forces have attempted to deal with the even more difficult urban warfare conditions in Gaza including the more than 400 miles of tunnels that created enormously complicated problems for Israeli forces attempting to destroy Hamas's 24 battalions of some 30 to 40 thousand fighters and the inevitable impact that has on civilian populations. They also discuss the information or cognitive warfare dimension of fighting on urban terrain and the difficulties Israel has had in that regard. Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss media coverage of the transgender shooter in yesterday's attack on the Annunciation Catholic Church school in Minneapolis, as well as his writings and recordings prior to the shooting that included slogans written on gun magazines such as “Kill Donald Trump,” “For the children,” and “6 million were not enough". They also talk about the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez after she refused to resign from her post, and the resignations of other top CDC officials that followed. Plus, the FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics disagree over who should get the latest Covid-19 booster. Next, Tom talks to Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll and Stagwell Chairman and CEO, about his latest poll results regarding voters attitudes toward President Trump's job performance, inflation, and the Epstein files. And finally, Carl talks to Real Clear Investigations writer James Varney on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which he covered as a reporter for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans.

On the afternoon of Friday, August 26, 2005, the National Hurricane Center changed the predicted landfall of Katrina from the panhandle of Florida to Mississippi. As the storm continued to increase in size and intensity, Federal, State, and local officials, began planning for the worst case scenario.   For Gulf Coast residents, it was a familiar dilemma: to stay or to go? Boarding up homes and businesses, packing up and heading north was a costly effort that too many times, proved unnecessary. Afterall, it had been some 36 years since Hurricane Camile, the yardstick by which all hurricanes were measured, had devastated the Gulf Coast. What were the odds that Katrina could cause that level of destruction?   In our first episode, we look back on the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. We examine the choices that were made and why. We hear first-hand accounts by key decision makers of the Mississippi Army National Guard including Major General Harold "Hac" Cross, Major General Bobbie Ginn, and Major General Janson "Durr" Boyles.   We also hear from Dr. David Holt, Associate Professor of Geography in the School of Coastal Resilience at USM, and Dr. Deanne Stephens, Co-Director of the Center for the Study of the Gulf South at USM.   To these voices, we add the stories of Mississippians from all walks of life, recorded shortly after the storm. From these raw accounts of survival and resiliency, we will hopefully gain a deeper perspective of how they prepared to meet the moment that fateful weekend in August of 2005.   Hosted by Bill Ellison Produced by Ross Walton  Executive Producer Dr. Kevin Greene. Written by Ross Walton, Isabel Loya, Jerra Runnels, Andrew Leib, and Holli Parker. Additional interviews were conducted by Isabel Loya, Jerra Runnels and Andrew Leib.

In 2023, the United Kingdom hosted the world's first major international summit on the risks of advanced artificial intelligence. That Bletchley Park gathering kicked off a series of high-profile summits — in Seoul in 2024, in Paris earlier this year, and with India set to host the next in 2026. But here's the big question: are these summits actually building the guardrails the world needs to keep AI safe — or are they falling short? My guest today, Robert F. Trager, says the answer depends on whether this summit series is reformed. Trager is Co-Director of the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, which recently published a roadmap for how the AI Summit Series can live up to its potential. We dig into those recommendations, and we also take stock of what these summits have accomplished so far — and what's at stake if they fail. This episode was supported through a grant from the Tarbell Center for AI Journalism Report mentioned: The Future of the AI Summit Series

On this week's program, we bring you a vital community conversation about "War and Climate Change" hosted by Covering Climate Now on May 29th, 2024. In this conversation, we explore how conflict, war, and climate change are connected. Violent conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, and elsewhere are not only causing terrible human suffering, they are fueling the climate crisis. This press briefing laid out the connections between war, conflict, and climate change. War — and military operations in general — have a massive carbon footprint that is often overlooked. Meanwhile, the immense emissions of the world's militaries are excluded from limits imposed under UN climate agreements. At the same time, extreme weather and other climate impacts can kindle armed conflict — both within nations as people from drought-stricken rural communities migrate to cities and between nations. Our panel will explore all this and more. The panel included: Neta C. Crawford, Montague Burton Professor, University of Oxford and Co-Director, Costs of War Rawan Damen, Director General, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism Ellie Kinney, Campaigner Coordinator, Conflict and Environment Observatory Moderator: Giles Trendle, co-chair of CCNow's steering committee and the former managing director of Al Jazeera English. Perhaps most challenging for journalists is that war makes it hard to talk about the climate crisis in the first place. When guns and bombs are killing people, “the tyranny of the immediate” pushes war to the top of the news agenda. Covering Climate Now is a global journalism collaboration, co-founded by Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation magazine, encouraging more and better climate coverage.

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump has emphasized deregulation. Deregulatory efforts have focused both on undoing Biden-era policies in areas of interest (environmental regulation, SOGI issues, immigration, etc.) and on a broader effort to limit the scope of administrative power more broadly. In light of these strong changes, this panel will discuss the history of deregulation efforts in the Executive Branch, how those compare to the deregulatory efforts of the Trump Administration, and what these changes may mean both practically and more institutionally for the future of the Administrative State.Featuring:Prof. Bridget C.E.

Education and job training can lead to good jobs and living wages; but for many adult learners, that path to greater prosperity is anything but straightforward. Structural barriers, disconnected systems, and outdated models often make it difficult for individuals to gain the skills and credentials they need to advance their careers. How can we modernize education and workforce systems and create opportunities for all learners? In this episode of the Leading Voices podcast, host Danny Torres talks with Kathy Booth, Director of the Center for Economic Mobility at WestEd, and Randy Tillery, Director of Economic Mobility and Postsecondary and Workforce Systems at WestEd and Co-Director of the Center for Economic Mobility. They discuss the challenges many adult learners face—such as balancing work, caregiving, and school—and why short-term training alone often falls short. They emphasize the value of cross-sector partnerships between community colleges, employers, and workforce organizations in building systems that are more responsive to both learners' needs and local labor markets.  Their conversation covers the following topics:  How valuable it is to build partnerships that connect education institutions, employers, and workforce systems  How labor market data can inform program design and improve outcomes  Why lifelong learning and skills-based hiring are essential in today's economy  How systems can adapt to support learning across all stages of life  Read the Transcript Additional Resources WestEd Center for Economic Mobility (Website)  The Credential Value Index (Website)  What Gets in the Way of Education Reforms? (Blog)  About the Center The Center for Economic Mobility at WestEd brings together employers, educational institutions, and workforce systems to codesign solutions that meet the needs of both learners and employers. By strengthening linkages between systems, the Center aims to foster greater access to education, job training, and credentials so that learners can build stable and rewarding careers.

Now “retired” (whatever that means), Nevin is the former Chief Content Officer and Head of Retirement Research for the American Retirement Association. One of the retirement industry's most prolific writers, these days he's “retired”, which means he writes less, but continues to keep his eye on developments in, and threats to, the nation's private retirement system. He's the Chief Advisor Strategist at Endeavor Retirement, and he's also the “Nevin” in the Nevin & Fred podcast (along with renowned ERISA attorney Fred Reish), offering irreverent, but relevant perspectives on the critical issues confronting plan sponsors, advisors, and retirement industry professionals. Prior to his time at the ARA, he was the Employee Benefits Research Institute's Director of Education and External Relations, Co-Director of EBRI's Center for Research on Retirement Income, and Director of the American Savings Education Council, and prior to that, spent a dozen years as Global Editor-in-Chief of PLANSPONSOR magazine and PLANSPONSOR.com, as well as PLANADVISER and PLANSPONSOR Europe magazines. He was the originator, creator, writer, and publisher of PLANSPONSOR.com's NewsDash. He began his retirement services career at Northern Trust in Chicago, where he later served in a variety of management roles, culminating in the development of a proprietary recordkeeping platform, and at Wachovia Bank, leading their defined contribution/recordkeeping businesses.In this episode, Eric and Nevin Adams discuss:Retirement income requires tailored solutions.Fiduciary roles shift after adoption.Default options remain a challenge.Adoption will be gradual and cautious.Key Takeaways:There's a wide range of income options beyond annuities, but each plan should carefully assess its participants' needs before implementing anything.Choosing to offer a retirement income option begins as a settlor decision, but once implemented, it becomes a fiduciary duty to select the specific solution, to monitor, and manage.Auto-enrolling participants into lifetime income products is complex—many don't fully grasp the trade-offs, and surveys show mixed interest.Due to regulatory uncertainty and logistical hurdles, most plan sponsors are expected to move conservatively, guided by education and expert consultation.“How are we making default lifetime income assumptions about people on a generic basis without some of that nuance?

To celebrate the Australian premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival of NEVER GET BUSTED!, the utterly compelling documentary about narco-officer turned activist Barry Cooper, I talked with co-director David Anthony Ngo about this true American original, who subjects either "love, hate or have never met." Synopsis: Written and directed by Australia's David Anthony Ngo, director Stephen McCallum and produced by Erin Williams-Weir and Daniel Joyce, Never Get Busted! is the utterly compelling story of Barry Cooper, a highly decorated Texas narcotics officer - until he turned on the police force, busting crooked cops and teaching drug users how to hide their stash. Never Get Busted! is a high-octane, no-holds-barred documentary into the world of drugs, seen through the life of a man who has experienced all sides of the Drug War. Taking more than six years to make, and with filming across nine States of America, Mexico, the Philippines and Australia, the story takes the audience into covertly filmed police corruption, scenes of religious fervour, Hollywood pitch meetings, and the ultimate downfall of one of America's most brazen activists. In personal home videos, clandestine recordings, Barry's own police dash cam footage, prime-time news, and present-day interviews, we see his story unravel in a form of macabre and exhilarating entertainment.NEVER GET BUSTED! will be screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival on August 8 and 10, 2025.Facebook: Never Get BustedInstagram: Never Get Busted!
