In August 1532 a charcoal burner named Robert Grame was murdered in a wood in Surrey. He worked alone, he carried a checkered board so he could count his money out there among the trees, and half the county seems to have known it. What happened next is why we can still tell this story. The local justice of the peace, Sir John Gaynesford, was an old man who had no obligation to do any of this well, and he did it beautifully. He examined the body, checked for signs of suicide because a widow's survival depended on the answer, found a broken knife handle, took depositions from witnesses more than twenty years before the law required it, and eventually hauled his suspect in front of the Privy Council in Westminster. When that went nowhere, he wrote nine folio pages to Thomas Cromwell and told him he would rather leave the county than keep living like this. And then the case vanishes from the record entirely. This episode is about who Robert Grame was, what Gaynesford did, what probably happened to Anastasia Grame, and how much of the past is missing from the documents we have left.

He explains how admitting China to the WTO in 2001 failed to foster democratization and details the massive scale of the Ministry of State Security. Using corporate examples like Apple and Google to illustrate this threat, he warns of America's vulnerabilities and advocates for defensive reforms, including a partial economic decoupling, modernized legal deterrence, and the establishment of a National Economic Security Council to better protect critical domestic industries and safeguard the nation's technological crown jewels.David K. RandallBook: The Monsters Bones: The Discovery of T-Rex and How It Shook Our WorldRandall recounts the historic discovery of the Tyrannosaurus Rex by pioneering paleontologist Barnum Brown.

Driven by Gilded Age competition funded by wealthy industrialists, Brown used geological expertise and dynamite in 1902 to unearth the first T-Rex fossils in Hell Creek, Montana. Despite facing devastating personal tragedy, Brown's efforts culminated in the legendary 1915 public mounting of the apex predator in New York, forever transforming the public's understanding of prehistoric life.

In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Mike is joined by Dr. Milana Hogan, Chief Talent Officer at Sullivan & Cromwell, and Rob Baker, a former law firm hiring committee member and BigLaw attorney, for a conversation about the increasingly front-loaded BigLaw recruiting process and what prospective and current law students should know about navigating it. Rob has held recruiting roles at large, medium, and boutique-sized law firms, while Dr. Hogan has spent nearly two decades at Sullivan & Cromwell working in talent, associate development, and recruiting.  The group discusses how law firm recruiting has shifted earlier over time and the market pressures driving that change (7:41); whether hiring could move even earlier and why first-semester law school grades may serve as a practical stopping point (13:48); whether 0Ls should already be reaching out to firms and how to approach those conversations from a learning rather than a “will you hire me?” posture (17:13); the value of LinkedIn, low-pressure outreach, and building relationships before recruiting formally begins (20:53); and why the current system may create new opportunities for 2Ls and 3Ls who missed out earlier in the process (24:39).  They also discuss how AI is affecting BigLaw work and hiring, including Sullivan & Cromwell's use of AI as one part of its holistic hiring process (28:34); what can turn hiring partners off in an interview and why trying too hard to demonstrate how smart you are can backfire (31:47); the importance of curiosity, humility, and a willingness to learn from more experienced lawyers (34:45); and why students should take ownership of their careers, seek out opportunities, and practice interviewing before the real thing (37:52). Related resources: Mike references NALP Executive Director Nikia Gray's article, The “Cruel” Recruiting Timeline, which examines the history of OCI and the market forces behind the increasingly accelerated law firm recruiting process. He also references a South Park episode parodying Black Friday's increasingly early start as an analogy for how BigLaw recruiting has continued moving earlier.You can listen and subscribe to Status Check with Spivey on ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠, Spotify⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠.

In the spring of 1783, with the Revolution all but won, the most dangerous enemy of the United States was its own army. Unpaid for years, cheated of their promised pensions, the officers camped at Newburgh, New York, had every reason to be furious — and an anonymous letter, circulating hut to hut, told them the time for begging was over. A faction of politicians in Philadelphia, led by Alexander Hamilton, saw in that fury a weapon they could use to force a helpless Congress into line. Their cause was just. Their argument was strong. And it led straight to the edge of a military coup. This is the story of the Newburgh Conspiracy — the crown George Washington had already refused, the rival general willing to hold the match, and the afternoon in a hall called the Temple when General Washington answered a righteous, well-armed anger not with force but with a pair of spectacles and a few tender words, and stopped the thing cold. It is the moment America stood at the line that has swallowed almost every republic in history, and did not cross it. Caesar crossed it. Cromwell crossed it. Why didn't General Washington?

"Cromwell's Place in History" by Samuel Rawson Gardiner offers a profound analysis of Oliver Cromwell's role within the political and ecclesiastical upheavals of the 17th century. Delivered as a series of lectures at the University of Oxford in 1896, Gardiner's work focuses not on Cromwell's biography but on understanding the motivations behind his actions during a tumultuous period. This exploration of leadership amidst crisis remains relevant today, as it prompts reflection on how individuals navigate complex social and political landscapes. Gardiner's insights into the interplay of power and faith continue to resonate, making this examination of Cromwell's legacy both timely and timeless.

A regicide might be the last person you'd think would save a king's palace – but in Oliver Cromwell, Hampton Court found an unlikely admirer.   During his time as Head of State, Cromwell's family filled Hampton Court with music, art and beauty – and even some scandalous statues – as their family home. In doing so, they saved it from the threat of demolition, and ensured its survival until Charles II returned in 1660.  In this episode, join Assistant Curator Minette Butler as she explores Hampton Court through new eyes, looking for glimpses of this intriguing period. What was it like to visit this royal palace without a king? And how does Cromwell fit into the palace's history?  Explore the Tudor gardens that Cromwell would have known on our website.

Henry VIII didn't break with Rome for faith. He broke with it for property.That's the part most history books leave in the margins. The standard story is that Henry wanted a divorce, Rome said no, and England broke away. But the real prize was never the marriage. It was sitting behind the monastery walls — land, silver, grain, charters, deeds — the largest concentrated wealth in England, waiting for a monarch with the administrative capacity to take it.Henry VII spent twenty-four years building that capacity. Bonds and recognizances that held roughly half the English peerage financially hostage. The Council Learned in the Law. The Chamber finance system. A government that could measure, monitor, and enforce. Then Cromwell arrived at court and recognized what his father-figure Wolsey had been extending — that the machinery pointed at the nobility could be pointed at the Church instead.The Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 catalogued every religious house in England. The Court of Augmentations was purpose-built in 1536 to process the seizure. Between 1536 and 1540, roughly £1.3 million in monastic wealth transferred to the Crown — more than Henry VII had left in the entire treasury. Henry VII built the engine. Cromwell found the target. Henry VIII pulled the lever.════════════════════════════

I'm in the UK this week, so I dug into the archive and found this gem from way back when approximately six people were watching my channel. It's an interview with Melita Thomas of Tudor Times about her book The King's Pearl, and honestly, it wrecked what I thought I knew about Mary I. We get into how Henry VIII was building Mary a whole fancy apartment at Whitehall years before Catherine Parr ever showed up, which blows apart the story we usually hear about how Mary got back in her dad's good graces. Turns out Mary was also a serious gambler, gave money to Welsh strangers on the street to hang onto her old title as Princess of Wales, and played some savvy political games with Cromwell and the imperial ambassador while everyone thought she was just quietly enduring her fate. She was not the tragic, broken figure we've been sold. She was scheming, charming, funny, and a lot more in control than history gives her credit for. Lots of new stuff coming your way soon once I'm back from my UK travels, but I promise this old episode holds up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. Stability was sought through the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. While some reforms remained, the new regime took grotesque revenge on the regicides, even digging up and hanging Cromwell's corpse. Charles II's reign was characterized by a vibrant court culture, the expansion of trade via the East India Company, and the growth of the British Empire. The segment also highlights the polymath Margaret Cavendish, who wrote the pioneering science-fiction work The Blazing World, reflecting the era's fascination with science and power. Despite the "jollity," the Anglican Church forcefully suppressed religious dissenters like the Quakers. (7)1650

Private markets are moving closer to the core of the wealth management conversation, but the experience around accessing, evaluating and explaining those opportunities remains highly fragmented. As advisors face growing client interest in alternatives, pre-IPO companies and more personalized investment opportunities, the need for better education, due diligence, transparency and portfolio context has never been greater. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Anna Joo Fee, CEO and founder of Goodfin, to explore how AI is changing the private markets experience. They discuss why access alone is not enough, how agentic AI can help advisors and investors navigate complex information, and why the future of private wealth may bring investing, tax, planning and private markets into a more connected ecosystem. Key takeaways: How AI can help address opacity, fragmentation and information gaps in private markets Why access to private markets can become a source of alpha, but only when paired with education and context What makes applying AI to private markets different from applying it to public markets How agentic AI can support research, document analysis, investor education and investment workflows Why advisor judgment, guardrails and trust become even more important as AI becomes more powerful Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Anna Joo Fee:  LinkedIn: Anna Joo Fee Website: Goodfin Email: anna@Goodfin.com  About Our Guest: Anna Joo Fee is the CEO and Founder of Goodfin, an AI-native wealth platform focused on private market investing.

Why did the United States become a stable republic while so many revolutions ended in dictatorship? The answer lies in two men pivitol to the Revolution: George Washington... and Oliver Cromwell. A century before George Washington, Cromwell fought a king in the name of liberty, overthrew the monarchy, and then—step by step—became everything he opposed. Washington would later face many of the same temptations: an unpaid army loyal to him, politicians begging him to stay in power, even a proposal to become king. This is the story of two revolutionary generals, two republics, and why America stayed on the path of democracy instead of descending into a military junta.  BECOME A PATRON! www.JoinTheOrph.com

In light of this week's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we interview Catholic scholar and historian Charles Coulombe. While he is a proud American patriot, he also argues that many elements of the American Founding were incompatible with Catholic teaching (including the justification for the Revolution itself). We consider some of these issues on this auspicious anniversary.As much as we got into in this interview, there are many more issues yet to explore on this topic.

Joanne Paul is a historian at the University of Sussex, author, and a go-to Tudor expert on YouTube. She tells Tyler she's drawn to the 16th century because it sits between the medieval and the modern, and because its paths not taken are a way of asking whether our own world had to turn out this way. Her biography Thomas More: A Life takes its subject in that spirit, refusing to reduce More to either martyr or monster. Tyler and Joanne discuss how More influenced Erasmus, what to make of Utopia, why fear drove More's persecution of heretics, how Holbein's portraits of More and Cromwell differ, what movie depictions get wrong about More, how his execution was viewed at the time, how the Tudor period paved the way for Shakespeare and the scientific revolution, the surprising social mobility of the period, how the City of London governed itself and where that clashed with the Crown, Joanne's upbringing in Canada and what drew her to English history, what she thinks sits beneath a lot of Britain's current stagnation, the subject of her next book, and much more.

People often call Anne Boleyn the love of Henry VIII's life, but was she really? In this video, I'm taking a closer look at one of the most romanticised relationships in Tudor history and asking whether we've mistaken obsession, desire and possession for love. Henry VIII pursued Anne Boleyn for years, wrote her passionate letters, and changed the course of English history in order to marry her, yet in 1536, when Anne was arrested, imprisoned in the Tower and accused of adultery, incest and treason, where was that love? I'll be exploring Henry's relationships with Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, Mary Tudor, Thomas More, Wolsey and Cromwell to ask a much bigger question: was Henry VIII capable of real love at all, or was his affection always conditional on people giving him what he wanted? In this video, I explore: - the myth of Anne Boleyn as Henry VIII's great love - what Henry's behaviour in 1536 reveals - obsession, possession and power in their relationship - whether Anne was the hunted rather than the beloved - and what Henry's treatment of wives, children and friends tells us about the man himself I'd love to know what you think: was Anne Boleyn the love of Henry VIII's life, or is that one of Tudor history's biggest myths? #AnneBoleyn #HenryVIII #TudorHistory #TheTudors #SixWives #BritishHistory #EnglishHistory #HistoryChannel #RoyalHistory #TudorEngland

CannCon and Alpha Warrior unpack one of the most disorienting twenty four hour stretches of Trump's second term. At sunrise the President posts that the US will be hitting Iran very hard tonight and seizing Karg Island and Iran's oil markets the way it did with Venezuela. Four hours later he cancels the strikes after saying a deal was approved by Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Egypt. The guys replay the old Ghost in the Machine psyop videos to frame what they are watching and read straight from the Fifth Generation Warfare book on Target Audience analysis. Alpha makes the central argument of the show. The roller coaster is not aimed at us. The red pilled are not the target. The normies are. Trump is balancing global power to a reset point while breaking decades of conditioning about who our allies and enemies are. The second half digs into Jay Clayton being named the permanent DNI. UPenn, Sullivan and Cromwell, the firm of John Foster and Allen Dulles, Bear Stearns, Alibaba, the Tren de Aragua RICO case, and his CNBC appearance hours before the announcement.

What if Thomas More had just signed the Oath of Supremacy? He could have. Plenty of people did. Cranmer signed it. Cromwell signed it. So why didn't More, and what would have changed if he had? In this week's What If Thought Experiment, we're looking at one of the Tudor period's most interesting counterfactuals. Henry VIII didn't need More's signature legally, he wanted it because More was the gold standard of European humanist credibility. Getting More to sign meant something. And More refused to give him that. We talk about what a living More might have meant for the trajectory of the English Reformation, whether Mary I's reign might have looked different without the brutal martyrdoms of the 1530s setting the tone, and the woman at the center of it all: Margaret Roper, who bribed a guard, lied to the King's Council, and was buried holding her father's pickled head nine years later. I have complicated feelings about Thomas More. Come have them with me.

 How did a small band of Norman soldiers in 1170 begin 800 years of English control over Ireland?  It started as a deal between rival Irish kings. It ended in plantation, dispossession, and a divided island.  This is the story of how a short-term alliance became a centuries-long occupation, and why it still shapes politics in Ireland today.  Anglo-Normans enter Ireland: Diarmait seeks Strongbow's help. Henry II claims authority; Dublin-centred foothold established. The Pale forms; Normans adopt Irish ways, Old English. Henry VIII breaks with Rome; declares himself King of Ireland. Surrender and regrant changes land and inheritance rules. Elizabeth I's conquest; Nine Years' War threatens English control. Battle of Kinsale defeat; O'Neill's submission follows. Flight of the Earls ends Gaelic political power. Plantation of Ulster seeds division leading to later partition. Cromwell's massacres; “To Hell or to Connacht” resettlement.

Live from Montenegro this week because the news would not wait — both of the Strip's biggest operators are heading toward going private. Barry Diller's People Inc. (the former IAC) has put a non-binding, all-cash offer on the table to buy the 73.9% of MGM Resorts it doesn't already own at $48.30/share — an ~$18 billion deal — and take the company private. Pair that with the Caesars / Fertitta Entertainment take-private we covered last week, and Las Vegas may be entering a brand-new era owned by the billionaire class instead of Wall Street. Is that good or bad for the guest experience? I make the case. Plus: the Cromwell has officially reopened as the Vanderpump Hotel (new lampshades, the Gigolo cocktail garden, and why it's still the best Caesars property to base yourself at), the Rio's new $27 buffet that's drawing comparisons to a highway motel breakfast, and a little Star Trek: The Experience nostalgia.

Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap in his meeting with Trump, and host Matt Trump has thoughts. Lots of them. In this episode, Matt traces the concept from its single-line origin in ancient Greek history through its revival by Harvard academic Graham Allison in 2012, where it became a sophisticated-sounding argument for American defeatism and Chinese inevitability. The problem? Allison's history is shoddy, his Athens and Sparta example ignores the Persian Empire pulling the strings behind the scenes, and he happens to be a Henry Kissinger protege tied directly to the City of London financial order. Matt also riffs on Bitcoin Pizza Day, the deep state law firm Sullivan and Cromwell getting caught submitting AI-hallucinated court documents, and the broader British imperial framework that Trump is currently working to dismantle.

Thomas Cromwell might have pulled off the most meteoric social climb of the 16th century. From the rough shores of Putney to the illustrious court of Henry VIII, his journey to power reveals so much about the opportunities and dangers of the Tudor period.   In this final episode of our series on Henry VIII's ministers, Tracy Borman explores the real story of a man often seen as a villain. Joined by Chief Curator Eleri Lynn, she discusses the Reformation, Anne Boleyn, and Cromwell's all-important relationship with Henry VIII.  Turn on video on Spotify, or watch this episode on YouTube to see Tracy and Eleri in the amazing Tudor Great Hall at Hampton Court Palace.

It's April 1536 and Thomas Cromwell has gone home sick. Except he's not sick. He's deciding what to do about Anne Boleyn. In this What If episode, we play out three scenarios from that single moment of decision: what Cromwell actually chose and why it signed his own death warrant four years later, what happens if he removes Anne without killing her and she becomes a Protestant cause célèbre in exile, and what happens if he does nothing and bets on her survival. None of the roads end well. But they end very differently. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

6. Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of the Republic Guest Author: Jonathan Healey Following the regicide, England became a republic under the "Instrument of Government," a written constitution drafted by John Lambert. Oliver Cromwell rose as Lord Protector, using military skill to bring stability to a nation surrounded by hostile European monarchs. Though he refused the crown in 1657, favoring a rule based on Parliamentary authority, Cromwell's reign was defined by his personal strength and the imposition of unpopular Puritan values. Despite his inconsistencies and brutal campaigns in Ireland, he successfully held disparate factions together until his death in 1658, after which the republic began to collapse. (6)1650 JAN LIEVENS

7. The Restoration and the Genius of Margaret Cavendish Guest Author: Jonathan Healey In 1660, after a period of political chaos, George Monck facilitated the return of Charles II, prioritizing national stability over the failed republican experiment. This "Restoration" reasserted the Anglican Church and Parliamentary control over finances, though the era was also marked by the grotesque posthumous execution of Cromwell's corpse. Healey highlights the intellectual vibrancy of the time through Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle. Her pioneering 1666 work, *The Blazing World*, blended science, power, and early feminism, creating a bizarre "science fiction" parable that challenged the male-dominated scientific luminaries of the Royal Society.
