Show Notes The state of US international relations “ The beginning of any administration is a bit chaotic” “I continue to hope that we will find a way to help Ukraine so that Vladimir Putin doesn't benefit from the aggression that he committed.” “The United States will undoubtedly play a different role. … That is the outcome of what's been eighty years of post World War II American engagement. … And so we need to ask, what are our values? What are our interests? And I think we're going to, we're going to see a good, solid American role in foreign policy.” Is the world order in the process of receiving a shock treatment? “ We really do need to rebuild our defense industrial base.” USAID: “ I'm a great believer that foreign assistance is one of the important tools in our toolkit of foreign policy.” “ I actually am one who believes that the absorption of USAID into the State Department is the right answer.” On US foreign assistance “A lot of what we do is purely humanitarian, purely life saving. We should. Just do that. Some of what we do is also strategic. What countries do we help to develop to be less fragile so that they don't become hubs for terrorism? …  And sometimes our assistance is to stabilize places in the world so that we don't face a security problem down the road.” Developing infrastructure “Am I patriotic? Do I love my country? Am I a nationalist? Absolutely. Am I Christian? Yes. And so I hope that people who are both patriotic and Christian are not being painted with a broad crust.” “But if we think about what it means to be Christian, it means to care about every human being, because every human being is created in the image of the Lord, and therefore every human being has worth.” “One of the closing comments from President Bush was, ‘To whom much is given, much is expected. …  that is the core of our Christian belief.” What is  the state of the Christian influence in American politics and life? Emulating the early church in establishing orphanages and hospitals, “and  to be a voice on behalf of those who are dispossessed.” Religious Freedom “When I was secretary of state, not because I was Christian, but because I was secretary of state, I would take a list of religious objectors with me to countries like China.” “The evangelical church has been very involved in human trafficking issues. We actually do have a problem of modern slavery.” “The church has a lot of potential to be a really good force in the world.” Condoleeza Rice's most passionate prayers for the nation and the world right now “My most passionate prayer is that our leaders would have—and I actually pray this prayer— that they would have judgment and discernment, that they would have compassion, that they would lead from a position of knowing how much America has, and that they would understand that our role in the world derives from our universal belief in human freedom and that it is the only way that human beings have the dignity that they should have as having been created by God.” “I think one of the reasons we've had a bit of a backlash against some foreign assistance is that people wonder, ‘Well, are you thinking about Americans in the same way?'” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

This panel discussion on the legacy of George Shultz, former US secretary of state and Hoover Institution senior fellow, features the Hoover Institution's director, Condoleezza Rice; Israeli politician and human rights activist Natan Sharansky; and Abraham Sofaer, the former legal advisor to the State Department under George Shultz and the George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy and National Security Affairs at the Hoover Institution. Together, they reflect on Shultz's contributions to US foreign policy, human rights, and the end of the Cold War. The discussion explores Shultz's deep commitment to human rights, particularly in supporting Soviet refuseniks and advancing the cause of freedom in the USSR. The panelists recount how Shultz worked alongside President Ronald Reagan to integrate human rights into diplomatic negotiations, leverage the Helsinki Accords, and challenge the Soviet Union's authoritarian system. Sharansky, a former Soviet dissident imprisoned for 12 years for his activism, shares personal experiences of Shultz's support for Soviet Jews and recounts the political maneuvering that contributed to his own release. Rice and Sofaer discuss Shultz's diplomatic philosophy, his strategic role in Reagan's administration, and his ability to bridge the gap between hardline anti-communism and pragmatic diplomacy. The conversation also touches on the role of ideas in shaping policy and whether current generations fully grasp the stakes of international conflict in the way Cold War leaders like Shultz and Reagan did. The panelists debate modern revisionist views on the end of the Cold War with a strong defense of Reagan and Shultz's deliberate strategy to weaken the Soviet Union. Ultimately, the discussion serves as both a tribute to the life and times of George Shultz and a reflection on leadership, diplomacy, and the enduring battle of ideas in world affairs. Recorded on February 12, 2025.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Chris Abraham Show, Chris and co-host ChatGPT delve into the multifaceted themes of identity, leadership, and cultural belonging. The conversation examines the paths women take to leadership across different political systems, the challenges minority communities face in the U.S., and the broader implications of self-segregation, assimilation, and cultural pride. Chris brings his unique perspective to a dynamic dialogue that blends historical insights, theoretical scenarios, and personal reflections. This episode explores the intersection of leadership, identity, and cultural preservation. Starting with an analysis of how women rise to power in U.S. presidential and parliamentary systems, Chris and ChatGPT discuss the implications of cultural biases and systemic barriers. The discussion transitions into an alternate history where the U.S. adopts a parliamentary system, imagining which women might have risen to power under such a framework. Finally, the conversation shifts to a fictional scenario exploring self-contained communities, the challenges of cultural preservation, and the dynamics of respect, integration, and identity. Listeners are invited to reflect on how these themes shape modern society and their implications for the future. Women Leaders and Leadership Systems: How political systems influence the paths women take to leadership. Examples like Angela Merkel (Germany) and Vigdís Finnbogadóttir (Iceland). Speculation on whether the first U.S. woman president will be conservative. Alternate History and Imagined Leadership: Hypothetical U.S. parliamentary system and potential female leaders: Abigail Adams, Eleanor Roosevelt, Shirley Chisholm, Condoleezza Rice, and Hillary Clinton. Examination of cultural biases in direct elections. Cultural Separation and Community Dynamics: The concept of self-segregation and its parallels to apartheid. Examples of thriving insular communities like the Amish and Hasidic Jews. The challenges of maintaining economic independence and intellectual sustainability. Language, Identity, and Opportunity: The impact of code-switching and patois on ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) communities. Potential barriers created by cultural distinctiveness. Wakanda as a limited role model for ADOS people. Respect and Validation: The risks of mandated respect and the importance of genuine connection. How cultural pride and internal validation can mitigate external prejudice. Q: What inspired the discussion about women leaders? A: Chris's interest in contrasting U.S. presidential systems with parliamentary systems prompted a discussion about systemic barriers and cultural biases that affect women's paths to leadership. Q: What is ADOS, and why is it significant to the discussion? A: ADOS stands for American Descendants of Slavery. It's significant because the episode explores how this distinct cultural group navigates identity, community, and systemic challenges in the U.S. Q: Why was Wakanda mentioned? A: Wakanda was analyzed as a cultural symbol that, while inspiring, doesn't fully represent the lived experience of ADOS people in America. Q: What is the significance of code-switching in this discussion? A: Code-switching was discussed as a skill that enables cultural adaptability but can also create barriers for those unable to navigate between different cultural norms. ADOS: American Descendants of Slavery, a term used to describe Black Americans who are descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States. Code-Switching: The practice of alternating between different languages, dialects, or cultural behaviors depending on the social context. Self-Segregation: The voluntary separation of a community from the dominant culture to preserve identity and autonomy. Cultural Patois: A dialect or language variation that is distinct to a particular cultural group. Brain Drain: The emigration of highly skilled or educated individuals from a community or country. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joins Margaret Hoover to discuss America's role in the world amid multiple crises and the dangers of retreating from global leadership. In a recent Foreign Affairs essay, Rice warned about the “perils of isolationism.” She explains why these sentiments concern her and how leaders should reframe arguments in favor of globalization and international engagement to counter them. Rice assesses the current state of the conflict in the Middle East as Israel fights Iran's proxies in Gaza and Lebanon and the threat of escalation looms. She offers insight into the weaknesses of the Iranian regime and opportunities for the U.S. and Israel to exploit them. Rice makes the case for continued U.S. support for Ukraine and for promotion of democracy more broadly, and she reflects on lessons learned from the 2006 Gaza elections that put Hamas in power.  Support for “Firing Line for Margaret Hoover” is provided by Robert Granieri, Henry & Vanessa Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, and Al & Kathy Hubbard.

The world Americans face today is more complicated—and dangerous—than it has been for decades. Yet there is a growing, and in many ways understandable, desire to turn inward—a sense that there is little U.S. foreign policy can do to solve problems abroad and lots it can do to make them worse. Condoleezza Rice, director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, argues against this impulse in a new essay in Foreign Affairs. Great powers, she writes, don't get to just mind their own business.  Rice served as national security adviser and secretary of state in the George W. Bush administration. Much of what she grappled with then—Russia's invasion of a neighbor, military collisions with China, the last major clash between Israel and Hezbollah—has worrying echoes now, especially as conflict in the Middle East threatens to spiral into a wider war.

In her recent Foreign Affairs Magazine essay, 'The Perils of Isolationism,' former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice emphasizes the symbiotic importance of America's relationship with other major powers in the world. However, amidst aggression from China, ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine, and a mounting sense of unease in the Middle East — how can America continue maintaining its global leadership and influence while ensuring conflict across the globe doesn't worsen? Also, in a heated election cycle, how important of an issue will foreign policy end up being?  Former Secretary Rice joins Bret to answer these pressing questions and go further in-depth about where America stands on the world stage.   Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 1 The Baltimore Orioles absolutely spanked the Yankees yesterday and seem to have their number this season. Gio wonders if they're the new Red Sox, Rays or Astros, meaning the team that will stand in the way of the Yankees winning it all. Gio called it a ‘wake up call' spot and not a ‘panic' spot. Boomer said if the Yankees don't win it all this year, they should not sign Juan Soto because he was supposed to be the difference maker. Then the Mets can sign Soto instead. Boomer said there is now a blueprint to beat the Yankees. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update of the day and he starts with the Orioles beating the Yankees 17-5. The Yanks are only 2-5 against the Orioles this season. Gleyber Torres left with a groin injury, which still confuses Al. ‘Where is the groin? Do women have groins?' In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells the story of a run in with a homeless man with a stocking over his face and intern Anthony from upstairs. A caller wonders why Boomer is so fired up this morning.  Hour 2 Boomer watched JJ McCarthy throw out a first pitch from a Twins game and it did not look good. Boomer thinks that's a bad sign for Gio and the Vikings fans. He also ‘skipped' off the mound after throwing it. He looked ‘dainty' on the mound. Gio went to a driving range yesterday and thought he was on a hidden camera show because this beautiful woman in a mini skirt was at the range and had no idea what she was doing. C-Lo returns for an update and has the Orioles radio calls as they beat the Yankees 17-5. Boomer talked about the Yankees eventually shutting down Luis Gil. We also talked about Evan Roberts trying to dress more like an adult. Chris Russo had a hard time pronouncing Condoleezza Rice. He also chimed in on Bill Belichick dating a 24 year old. Boomer wonders if this hurts Belichick's chances at getting a head coaching job next year. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said he may need a break from going to restaurants. Al tweeted a few weeks ago that he was done with him, and Gio might be done with them as well. They talked about going to restaurants with little kids and how kids only have a short time span where they don't start going crazy in the place.  Hour 3 The Lakers are hiring JJ Redick as their new head coach. Gio can't understand how these guys get hired with zero head coaching experience. Boomer said, ‘this is destined for failure, you would think'. A woman calls and asks if Gio shaves his own back or if his wife does it. Gio does it himself with a ‘mangroomer'. C-Lo returns for an update but first Boomer wonders if he's going to do the bike tour in exchange for golf clubs. C-Lo starts with the Cardinals/Giants games as a tribute to the negro leagues. Reggie Jackson was interviewed during the game and talked about his experience in baseball in regards to race. In the final segment of the hour, the ‘Nuttin Butt Azz' basketball tournament scheduled for a Newark high school has been canceled.  Hour 4 We are not going to get any juicy stuff from Hard Knocks Off Season with the NY Giants. They get final say on what gets out there. Brian Daboll looks like he lost 80 pounds and looks great. C-Mac is worried that sometimes when big coaches lose weight they lose their mojo. Boomer said coaches put on weight because of stress. We also talked more about laser hair removal and shaving your back. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and Boomer wonders why Al keeps putting up back hair calls. A caller said he waxes his wife. Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly,once dated his backup QB at Georgia to make him jealous. The Moment of The Day involved Chris Russo having a hard time pronouncing Condoleezza Rice. In the final segment of the week, we talked about Justin Timberlake getting a DWI. Boomer said he met him a few times on the golf course.

UnHerd DC Corresponden and Breaking Points co-host Emily Jashinsky is in for Jim. Today, Emily and Greg discuss former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's brilliant defense of school choice, the Justice Department's's persecution of Dr. Eithan Haim for blowing the whistle on sex-change surgeries happening on minors in Texas Children's Hospital, andthe sky-high national deficit that continues to mount.First, they applaud Condoleezza Rice's incisive criticism of the left's hypocrisy when it opposes school choice. Rice aptly observes that elites who oppose school choice often send their own children to expensive public schools.Next, they examine the chilling reality that Dr. Eithan Haim exposed at Texas Children's Hospital: minors are being given sex-change surgeries, though the hospital previously claimed that this was not happening. Emily and Greg tear into the DOJ's obvious political targeting of Dr. Haim, alleging HIPAA violations though Dr. Haim took every care not to reveal the identity of patients.Finally, they toast a double-fisted crazy martini to the $24 trillion deficit that the government will run over the next decade, thanks to out-of-control and ineffective spending. They also consider the steep interest  payments on the debt that taxpayers will face in the coming years.Please visit our great sponsors:Moinkhttps://moinkbox.com/martiniVisit today to get one year of the best Bacon you'll ever taste free. Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout to save 15%.

Jared Cohen is Co-Head of the Office of Applied Innovation and President of Global Affairs at Goldman Sachs. He also serves on the Management Committee of the firm. Jared is also the most senior Goldman executive to visit Israel since October 7. But Jared did not just visit Israel – and meet with a range of senior Israeli political leaders and security officials – he also was in Ramallah, in the West Bank to meet Palestinian Authority officials and Jordan – just before Jordan participated in the extraordinary multi-national defense of Israel, despite tense relations between the Israeli and Jordanian governments. And since then, Jared has traveled extensively throughout the Persian Gulf States, where he has a long history of deep relationships. It was interesting to get a fresh take from Jared on this region in transition. Prior to joining Goldman, Jared was an executive at Alphabet, before which he was Google's first Director of Ideas and Chief Advisor to Google's then CEO and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. From 2006 to 2010, he served as a member of the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff and as a close advisor to both Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. Jared is a New York Times bestselling author of six books, including "One Hundred Days of Silence: America and the Rwanda Genocide," "Children of Jihad," "The New Digital Age: Transforming Nations, Business, and our Lives," which he co-authored with Eric Schmidt, and, most recently, "Life After Power: Seven Presidents and their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House," which you can order here: https://tinyurl.com/5xm8v7ft OR https://tinyurl.com/2ua6mzjd Paper discussed in this episode: "The rise of geopolitical swing states" -- https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/the-rise-of-geopolitical-swing-states.html

While establishment support for the Israeli assault on Gaza has been nearly unanimous, a few Squad members notwithstanding, additional fissures have recently emerged in that wall of consensus. Specifically, the list of Israel critics has recently added prominent powerful figures including Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Richard Haass and even an advisor to former Bush administration official Condoleezza Rice. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Due Dissidence's Keaton Weiss and Jimmy Dore to discuss just what might have sparked this recent volte-face from former Israel hard-liners. Plus segments on The Young Turks' host Cenk Uygur teasing support for RFK Jr. in the upcoming presidential election before calling for “sure winner” Jon Stewart to jump into the race and former Obama administration Defense Secretary Leon Panetta tacitly accusing Israel of war crimes.

Mary Bush, Freeman Hrabowski, and Condoleezza Rice grew up and were classmates together in segregated Birmingham, Alabama, in the late 1950s and early '60s. After taking a brief visit with Rice to her childhood home, we gather them again for a second conversation in Birmingham's Westminster Presbyterian Church, where Rice's father was pastor during that period. In this second part of our interview, the three lifelong friends further recount what life was like for Blacks in Jim Crow Alabama and the deep bonds that formed in the Black community at the time in order to support one another and to give the children a good education. They discuss how they overcame the structural racism they experienced as children to achieve incredible successes as adults. Lastly, they discuss their views on the recent reckoning with racism in today's culture and weigh in on the 1619 Project and other social programs.
