Today's episode features our rich conversation with Dr. Corinne Mitsuye Sugino, Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Center for Ethnic Studies at The Ohio State University, about her compelling new book, Making the Human: Race, Allegory, and Asian Americans. On the show, Alex and Calvin are joined by guest co-host Dr. Sarah Hae-In Idzik to talk with Corinne about her multifaceted analyses of the role of Asian American racialization in the construction of the concept of the human. We delve into Corinne's concept of "racial allegory," which illuminates how media and institutional narratives mobilize categories of difference, including Asian Americans, to stabilize the idea of "Western man".Our discussion touches upon the significance of the title Making the Human, unpacking how Asian American racialization and gendering contribute to the social formulation of the human. We explore key concepts such as the understanding of "Western man" drawn from Black Studies scholarship, while also examining the crucial relationship that Corinne charts between anti-Asian racism and anti-Blackness within communication and rhetoric studies. Corinne also explains how she applies the notion of racial allegory to a case study on Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, revealing how anti-racist discourse can be used to uphold racial hierarchies, and the strategic role of the victimized Asian student trope in this context. Furthermore, we analyze Corinne's intercontextual reading of the film Crazy Rich Asians alongside Daniel Patrick Moynihan's “The Negro Family” report, exploring allegories of family and mothering and the underlying racial narratives at play. Our discussion also considers the significance of animacy and the inhuman in relation to the boundaries of the human, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the racialization of Asian Americans as potential disease carriers. Finally, we reflect upon Corinne's nuanced perspective on the term "Asian American" itself, considering its complexities and its potential as a resource for undoing categories and fostering coalition.Corinne Mitsuye Sugino's Making the Human: Race, Allegory, and Asian Americans is available now from Rutgers University Press.Works and Concepts Referenced in this Episode:Chen, M.

What is human dignity? Is it a real thing, or merely an idea? If it's real, then where does it come from? And why do only human beings have dignity? What about other intelligent beings? What about the octopus?These are only some of the many questions that Damir Marusic and Santiago Ramos talk about in a slow-burn, philosophical episode of Wisdom of Crowds. Because Santiago is executive editor of Wisdom of Crowds, Damir wants to learn more about his bedrock convictions. He cross-examines Santiago about his religion, politics, and formative experiences.At first, Damir finds in Santiago a kindred spirit: both are skeptical about power and about big political theories. But Santiago does have one fundamental conviction that he is not skeptical about: universal human dignity. Damir presses Santiago on this topic. What is human dignity? How do you know it exists? And do only human beings have dignity? What about other intelligent animals? What about … octopi?The ending is one of the richest parts of the conversation, so we made this episode is free for all subscribers. * Daniel Patrick Moynihan documentary (PBS).* Song about the guerrilla priest: Victor Jara, “Camilo Torres” (YouTube).* “Of New Things,” Pope Leo XIII (Vatican.va).* “On the Progress of Peoples,” Paul VI (Vatican.va).* Jacques Maritain and the UN Declaration of Human Rights (UNESCO).* The Cold War in Latin America (RetroReport).* Michael Novak obituary (New York Times). * Iraq War timeline (Council on Foreign Relations).* Thomas Aquinas on the human soul (Summa Theologiae, New Advent).* Valladolid debate on the rights of indigenous people (In Our Time, BBC).* Octopus intelligence (Natural History Museum).Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture.

All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians by Phil Elwood https://amzn.to/3LPfR1S A bridge-burning, riotous memoir by a top PR operative in Washington who exposes the secrets of the $129-billion industry that controls so much of what we see and hear in the media―from a man who used to pull the strings, and who is now pulling back the curtain. After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that's made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he's been up to for the past twenty years―and it isn't pretty. Elwood has worked for a murderer's row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar. In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public―not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career. This is a piercing look into the corridors of money, power, politics, and control, all told in Elwood's disarmingly funny and entertaining voice. He recounts a four-day Las Vegas bacchanal with a dictator's son, plotting communications strategies against a terrorist organization in Western Africa, and helping to land a Middle Eastern dictator's wife a glowing profile in Vogue on the same time the Arab Spring broke out. And he reveals all his slippery tricks for seducing journalists in order to create chaos and ultimately cover for politicians, dictators, and spies―the industry-secret tactics that led to his rise as a political PR pro. Along the way, Phil walks the halls of the Capitol, rides in armored cars through Abuja, and watches his client lose his annual income at the roulette table. But as he moved up the ranks, he felt worse and worse about the sleaziness of it all―until Elwood receives a shocking wake-up call from the FBI. This risky game nearly cost Elwood his life and his freedom. Seeing the light, Elwood decides to change his ways, and his clients, and to tell the full truth about who is the worst human.About the author Phil Elwood is a public relations operative. He was born in New York City, grew up in Idaho, and moved to Washington, DC at age twenty to intern for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He completed his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University, and his graduate studies at the London School of Economics before starting his career at a small PR firm. Over the last two decades, Elwood has worked for some of the top – and bottom – PR firms in Washington. He lives in DC.

Memoirs are usually morally uplifting reads with happy endings. But Phil Elwood's new memoir, All the Worst Humans, is a confession of how Elwood, as a top DC based PR operative, created what he calls a “counter-narrative” for Assad, Gaddafi and the Qataris. Elwood isn't proud about any of this. As he confessed to me, he still sleeps poorly and often wakes up at 3.00 am regretting the morally poor choices he's made in his life. The sad thing is that there are still many other highly paid PR execs doing the dirty narrative work for dictators, tycoons and corrupt politicians. Let's hope they pick up All the Worst Humans at the airport on their next trip to Saudi Arabia or Russia.Phil Elwood is a public relations operative.

Tonight on The Last Word: Jury selection begins on Monday for Donald Trump's first criminal trial. Also, Trump and Republicans deflect on abortion after the Arizona ruling. Plus, President Biden announces a new student loan relief plan and a new rule to close the “gun show loophole.” And PBS releases an “American Masters” episode on former Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Barbara McQuade, Glenn Kirschner, Rep. Abigail Spanberger, and Rep. James Clyburn join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Fusionism—the viewpoint advocated by the likes of William F. Buckley and Frank Meyer of order and liberty mutually reinforcing each other—has been the dominant form of conservatism in the United States for a generation.  In the era of Trump and the rise of nationalist populism on the Right, however, fusionism has steadily lost influence.  Should conservatives double down on what's worked in the past?  Or is it time for a different approach that was advocated by some of the original critics of fusionism on the Right?   Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Jeffery Tyler Syck to argue for a conservative alternative to the fusionists and NatCons: humanist conservatism.  The humanist conservative is interested in preserving the diverse daily practices of human existence, as advocated by noteworthy thinkers like Michael Oakeshott, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Peter Viereck.  It's a quitter, more moderated form of conservatism that—Syck believes—could offer an antidote to the excess of the nationalist populous radicalism ascendant on the Right.   About Jeffery Tyler Syck From jtylersyck.com   Jeffery Tyler Syck is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pikeville.   Tyler's academic research focuses on the development of American democracy and the history of political ideologies. He is the editor of the forthcoming book “A Republic of Virtue: The Political Essays of John Quincy Adams” and is completing a second book manuscript entitled “The Untold Origins of American Democracy.” This second book describes how the political debates between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson forever altered the republic created by the American founders – leaving behind an increasingly majoritarian democracy. His essays and articles on politics, philosophy, and history have appeared in several public facing publications including Law and Liberty, Persuasion, and the Louisville Courier-Journal. Tyler's academic work has recently been published in the journal Pietas.   A native of Pike County Kentucky, Tyler's political thought and writing are strongly shaped by the culture of Appalachia. With their tightly knit communities, the mountains of Appalachia have instilled in him a love of all things local. As such his writing most often advocates for a rejuvenation of local democracy and a renaissance of rural culture.   Tyler received a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts in Government from the University of Virginia. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Government and History from Morehead State University where he graduated with honors.   You can follow Tyler on Twitter @tylersyck

Jonah's eggheadery reaches a new extreme on today's rambly Ruminant, which may leave you dreaming of the end times. After beginning with some brief thoughts on Biden's document escapade and when it's appropriate for the government to declassify information, he turns to a melange of nerdishly complicated questions. Is it the end of the world as we know it? How did the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists blind us with science? Do Irving Kristol's objections to capitalism have merit? And are Cheez-Its the ultimate snack food?Show Notes:- Jonah “moderates” the Dispatch Podcast- The Economist's The Intelligence podcast- Daniel Patrick Moynihan's Secrecy- The Remnant with Bruce Caldwell- Irving Kristol: “When Virtue Loses All Her Loveliness”

Not that long ago, Venezuela was among the freest and richest nations in Latin America. But in 1999, Hugo Chavez became president and introduced his brand of socialism known as Chavism. Venezuela's liberties and prosperity were quickly eroded. Chavez died in 2013. Under his successor, Nicolas Maduro, who had been his right-hand man, Venezuela has continued to decline. In 2019, the U.S. supported an alternative “interim government” headed by Juan Guaido. At one point, Guaido was recognized by dozens of countries as Venezuela's legitimate president. But last month, members of Venezuela's opposition parties voted to remove Guaido and dissolve the interim government. Elliott Abrams served on the staffs of Senators Scoop Jackson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He was an assistant secretary of state in the Reagan administration, senior director of the National Security Council for democracy, human rights, and international organizations in the George W. Bush administration, and – in the Trump administration – served as Special Representative for Venezuela. He's currently senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and Chairman of the Vandenberg Coalition. He joins host Cliff May to discuss Venezuela.

Chester E. Finn, Jr. is a Distinguished Senior Fellow and President Emeritus at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and a Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He's the author of Assessing the Nation's Report Card: Challenges and Choices with the NAEP. He joins host Mike Palmer in a conversation about the history of the NAEP, its challenges and opportunities, and the importance of having a shared set of standards for educational performance across the nation. You can learn more about the NAEP by checking out Overhauling the Nation's Report Card. We begin by hearing Chester's origin story dating back to working in the Johnson Administration and for Daniel Patrick Moynihan before starting to work with the NAEP in 1969. From there we dig into the power of "low-stakes tests" like the NAEP in providing a read on academic performance while not penalizing students, teachers, or schools based on performance. We talk about culture wars and politicization and how to avoid many of the pitfalls there while also avoiding the broad brush attacks on standardized testing as a whole. We conclude with Chester's read on recent results which are troubling before wrapping up. Don't miss this deep dive into how we get a read on how the country is doing in education!

In this episode, twice-elected U.S. Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) joins Rev. Dr. Sam Ferguson for a nuanced discussion of power and public service, contemporary media, spiritual disciplines, political stewardship, and the liturgical aspects of social media and public worship. Sen. Sasse names some fascinating things – including when and how he starts the workday; how many Elmers are in his Lutheran circle of grandparent farmers; his perspective on churchgoing; and how he looks back differently, now, on the stretch-years of early parenting. Ben is sometimes called “the intellectual of the Senate,” in the vein of the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whose desk on the Senate floor he now occupies. Conversing with him is Rev. Dr. Sam Ferguson, who in May 2019 became rector of The Falls Church Anglican – a congregation where in 1791, George Washington served on the vestry.   Guests: Ben Sasse Sam Ferguson   Additional Resources: "A Time for Choosing" by Ben Sasse Them: Why We Hate Each Other - And How to Heal by Ben Sasse Falls Church Anglican Sermons by Sam Ferguson

Is New York Times v. Sullivan in Jeopardy, With First Amendment Icons Floyd Abrams of Cahill Gordon & Reindel and Chip Babcock of Jackson Walker With Host Richard Levick of LEVICK: Over the past few U.S. Supreme Court terms, we have heard justices initiate discussions on the sanctity of long settled areas of U.S. Constitutional law including Roe v Wade, the Chevron Doctrine regarding administrative review, New York Times v. Sullivan and more. This show address rising concerns by court watchers that this landmark case – decided to protect journalists and activists during the Civil Rights movement a half century ago – might be in jeopardy. The Court had ruled that the freedom of speech protections in the First Amendment restricted the ability of American public officials to sue for defamation, a cornerstone to the smooth functioning of investigative journalism. Richard Levick of LEVICK moderates a fascinating conversation with Floyd Abrams, Senior Counsel at Cahill Gordon & Reindel; described by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan as “the most significant First Amendment lawyer of our age,” and one of the nation's leading authorities on free speech and Chip Babcock, a partner at Jackson Walker, a litigator for celebrities, networks and publishers on the most important and highest profile First Amendment issues of our time.

A jornalista fala das mudanças depois da chegada dos gêmeos João e Pedro, os desafios da maternidade, música, corrida e política Uma das mais influentes repórteres do Brasil e mãe dos gêmeos João e Pedro, de dez meses, Andréia Sadi brinca: "Nunca mais vou poder dizer que está para nascer o homem que vai mandar em mim – a vida me deu logo dois". Com o nascimento dos bebês, veio também o que ela chama de caos organizado. Mas é com a mesma tranquilidade e bom-humor com que faz um boletim ao vivo, que Sadi garante não dar conta de tudo. No dia a dia, precisa priorizar, resolve o que é importante e deixa o resto de lado. Profissionalmente, sua missão é explicar o intricado cenário político brasileiro, o que faz em várias frentes, como o Jornal Hoje, da Globo, o programa Em Pauta e os noticiários da GloboNews, onde ficou conhecida pelo público, além do Em Foco, também exibido pelo canal. No programa, sua primeira empreitada solo, tem recebido alguns dos maiores protagonistas da política nacional, e contemplado os dois lados da polarização, do senador Flávio Bolsonaro ao deputado federal Marcelo Freixo (PSOL-RJ). Para construir todas essas relações, Andréia morou por dez anos em Brasília. Chegou à cidade aos 21 e trabalhou para iG, G1, Folha de S.Paulo, até começar na GloboNews, em 2015. Ferrenha defensora do jornalismo, diz citando o senador norte-americano Daniel Patrick Moynihan: "Todo mundo tem direito a ter opinião. O que você não tem é direito ao próprio fato". A repórter, que adora um hard news, ficou no ar por 24 horas em duas ocasiões, protagonizou algumas gafes e até virou vinheta da GloboNews. Também já deu furo do táxi, presa no congestionamento, via celular.  Em um papo com o TripFM, a apresentadora ainda falou de música, corrida e educação dos filhos.

Brinco que nunca mais vou poder dizer que está para nascer o homem que vai mandar em mim: a vida me deu logo dois. Eu sabia que a vida iria mudar, mas não sabia como. Posso dizer que mudou para melhor. Na prática, mudou tudo, claro, estou mais cansada. Por outro lado, em casa eu tenho um caos com método. Sou caótica, mas consigo me organizar. O quanto essa espontaneidade de colocar um pouco do humano, do sorriso, foi uma alavanca importante para o seu sucesso? Desde pequena eu gosto de gente, de conversar com as pessoas. Lembro que resolvia logo as matérias da escola para ficar agitando. Com o jornalismo, passei a entender que aquilo que eu apurava em Brasília não traduzia para as pessoas com quem eu convivi tanto durante a minha vida pessoal. Quando comecei, ligava para os meus amigos para perguntar se eles tinham entendido alguma coisa e eles respondiam que não. Como eu já falei para a Tpm, percebi então que precisava ligar a tecla SAP. De maneira geral, a massa de modelar do Congresso é de doer. Não tem o perigo de você se desencantar e não ter mais o menor saco de ouvir nada da boca desses caras? Não, primeiro porque eu sou taurina, teimosa. Eu quero que as pessoas entendam que aquilo é da conta delas. Me incomoda quando alguém me fala que não gosta de discutir política. É preciso participar, é sobre a sua vida. Quando a pandemia começou e a gente viu que precisava de uma gestão pública para se proteger quando ainda não havia a vacina, lá no início, quando o governo fez tudo na contramão dos especialistas, aquilo sim me deu uma tristeza profunda. Fiquei muito assustada, mas ao mesmo tempo fiz questão de ser parte do processo jornalístico para que as pessoas entendessem que era preciso seguir a ciência. Nesse caso, ficamos mais fortes como portadores da informação, já que ela salvou muitas vidas. Claro, eu fico triste, tem dias que choro, mas não perco esse brilho: seguir faz parte de participar.

What can possibly explain Manchin's and Sinema's votes against voting rights this week? Why did they create a false narrative that the legislation had to be “bipartisan” when everyone -- themselves included -- knew bipartisanship was impossible? Why did they say they couldn't support changing the filibuster rules when only last month they voted for an exception to the filibuster that allowed debt ceiling legislation to pass with only Democratic votes? Why did they co-sponsor voting rights legislation and then vote to kill the very same legislation? Why did Manchin vote for the “talking filibuster” in 2011 yet vote against it now?I've suggested that the answer to all these questions could be found in the giant wads of corporate cash flowing into their campaign coffers. But as I've watched the two senators closely and spoken about them with members of Congress as well as Hill staff, I've come to the conclusion this isn't it – or at least not all of it.The corporate money explanation leaves out the single biggest factor affecting almost all national politicians I've dealt with: Big egos. Manchin's and Sinema's are now among the biggest. Before February of last year, almost no one outside West Virginia had ever heard of Joe Manchin, and almost no one outside of Arizona (and probably few within the state) had ever heard of Kyrsten Sinema. Now, they're notorious. They're Washington celebrities. Their photos grace every major news outlet in America.This sort of attention is addictive. Once it seeps into the bloodstream, it becomes an all-consuming force. I've known politicians who have become permanently and irrevocably intoxicated by it.I'm not talking simply about power, although that's certainly part of it. I'm talking about narcissism – the primal force driving so much of modern America, but whose essence is concentrated in certain places such as Wall Street, Hollywood, and the United States Senate. Once addicted, the pathologically narcissistic politician can become petty in the extreme, taking every slight as a deep personal insult. I'm told that Manchin asked Biden's staff not to blame him for the delay of “Build Back Better,” and was then infuriated when Biden suggested Manchin bore some of the responsibility. “You want to understand why Manchin stabbed Biden in the back on voting rights?” one House member told me this week. “It's because he's so pissed off at Ron Klain [Biden's chief of staff].” I'm also told that if Biden wants to restart negotiations with Manchin on “Build Back Better,” he's got to rename the package because Manchin is so angry he won't vote for anything going by that name. Paradoxically, a large enough slight played out on the national stage can also enthrall a pathologically narcissistic politician. Several people on the Hill who have watched Sinema at close range since she became a senator tell me she relished all the negative attention she got when she gave her very theatrical thumbs down to increasing the minimum wage, and since then has thrilled at her burgeoning role as a spoiler. The Senate is not the world's greatest deliberative body, but it is the world's greatest stew of egos battling for attention. Every senator believes he or she has what it takes to be president. Most believe they're far more competent than whoever occupies the Oval Office. Yet out of one hundred senators, only a handful are chosen for interviews on the Sunday talk shows, only one or two are lampooned on SNL, and very few get a realistic shot at the presidency. The result is intense competition for national attention. Again and again, I've watched worthy legislation sink because particular senators didn't feel they were getting enough credit, or enough personal attention from a president, or insufficient press attention, or unwanted press attention, or that another senator (sometimes from the same party) was getting too much attention.Barack Obama didn't enjoy glad-handing senators, even though he got to the presidency through that august body — which proved a huge handicap when it came to legislating. Bill Clinton would talk to senators (or, for that matter, to almost anyone else) all the time, but Clinton had too much confidence in his own charm to give individual senators the ego boosts they wanted — thereby rubbing the most narcissistic of them the wrong way (Nebraska senator Bob Kerrey voted against Clinton's healthcare plan because he wanted more attention; New York senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan was lukewarm on it because he felt he wasn't adequately consulted). Some senators get so whacky in the national limelight that they can't function without it. Trump had that effect on Republicans. Before Trump, Lindsay Graham was almost a normal human being. Then Trump directed a huge amp of national attention Graham's way — transmogrifying Graham into a bizarro creature who'd say anything Trump wanted in order to keep the attention coming.Not all senators are egomaniacs, of course. I had the good fortune to work closely with the late Paul Wellstone, who was always eager to give others credit while being the first to take any blame. I know several now serving who have their egos firmly in check — including Mark Kelly, Raphael Warnock, Sherrod Brown, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. Most of the rest lie on an ego spectrum ranging from inflated to pathological. Manchin and Sinema are near the extreme. As I said, neither had much national attention prior to the last February. But once they got a taste of the national spotlight, they couldn't let go. They must have figured that the only way they could keep the spotlight focused on themselves was by threatening to do what they finally did this week — shafting American democracy.

Hour 2: Everyday is now January 6. Culture of secrecy creates an environment full of conspiracy theories and credits elite with more power. Secrecy: The American Experience by Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Formal charges have yet to be made against those in jail for the Capitol riot. Priorities change when our ability to live is compromised. Mass formation psychosis is real.

Richard Nixon's legacy will be forever tarnished by the Watergate scandal that led him to become the first and only U.S. president to resign from office. But Nixon was also a political mastermind whose impact continues to resound in both domestic and world politics. John R. Price served on the domestic policy side of the first Nixon administration, eventually becoming Special Assistant to the President for Urban Affairs. He has written about his experience in a compelling new memoir and history, The Last Liberal Republican: An Insider's Perspective on Nixon's Surprising Social Policy. In this interview, Price talks about his background as one of the founding memoirs of the Ripon Society (a moderate Republican activist group in the 1960s), his efforts on behalf of progressive Republicans like Nelson Rockefeller and Jacob Javits, and his work in the Nixon administration for the eminent Harvard sociologist (and later U.S. Senator) Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Price describes his efforts with Moynihan and Nixon to create the Family Assistance Plan, a far-reaching welfare proposal that would have implemented a negative income tax for households with working parents. He makes the case that Nixon was in many ways a liberal — indeed the last liberal Republican president — and that his social welfare program, if it had passed Congress, would have put the country on a different and better trajectory.

The book is “The Last Liberal Republican: An Insider's Perspective on Nixon's Surprising Social Policy” The Last Liberal Republican is a memoir from one of Nixon's senior domestic policy advisors. John Roy Price—a member of the moderate wing of the Republican Party, a cofounder of the Ripon Society, and an employee on Nelson Rockefeller's campaigns—joined Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and later John D. Ehrlichman, in the Nixon White House to develop domestic policies, especially on welfare, hunger, and health. Based on those policies, and the internal White House struggles around them, Price places Nixon firmly in the liberal Republican tradition of President Theodore Roosevelt, New York governor Thomas E. Dewey, and President Eisenhower. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I think everyone should read the Moynihan Report. This document, known then as "The Negro Family: The Case For National Action," held that many of the problems of American blacks resulted from the instability of black urban families. The report was leaked to the media in July 1965, one month before the devastating riots in Watts, and called for more government action to improve the economic prospects of black families. Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a sociologist and assistant secretary for policy planning and research at the Labor Department. He became a prominent U.S. Senator representing New York and later served as an adviser to President Richard Nixon. Moynihan urged that the Federal Government adopt a national policy for the reconstruction of the black family. He laid out clear arguments, noting that the real cause of the troubles in the black community was not so much segregation or a lack of voting power. He recognized the structure of the Negro family was highly "unstable and in many urban centers…approaching complete breakdown."Read more HERE: https://claytoncraddock.substack.com/p/the-moynihan-report-52fClayton Craddock is a father, independent thinker, and the founder and publisher of the social and political commentary newsletter Think Things Through and host of the Think Things Through Podcast.He's an alumnus of Howard University and is the drummer for the Broadway musical Ain't Too Proud - The Life and Times Of The Temptations.Other musicals include: "Tick, tick…BOOM!, Altar Boyz, Memphis The Musical, and Lady Day At Emerson's Bar and Grill.

The Pipeline, shortage of Gas on the east coast, our Elections, and a little more. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said this on January 18, 1983: "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts" You can't have your own facts.

Once you hate evil you can't hate anything else.  -Dennis Prager A guy on Twitter used slavery to attack the right.  The right alone stands in the way of the left having total power.  He did not attack Mauritania for still having hundreds of thousands in bondage.  So does he hate slavery or what? Pete Buttigieg wants America to get loads of high speed rail.  The only problem is:  High speed rail is stupid.  Or, as Cato puts it, "airfares averaged just 14 cents per passenger-mile in 2019, whereas fares on Amtrak's high-speed Acela averaged more than 90 cents per passenger-mile."  The left's solutions never change.  It's the problems that come and go. Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the archetypal extremely smart person who went into politics anyway instead of doing something worthwhile for his country. So maybe he owes all of us an apology...  –PJ O'Rourke https://www.cato.org/blog/global-leader-obsolete-technology

Lisa O’Rourke, Akron Irish Columnist, wrote a great column, titled Dunne’s Store Girls, it starts with this: Akron Irish Dunne’s Store Girls by Lisa O’Rourke Our collective “annus horribilis” has now just passed, and from this position, it would be hard for this new shiny year to surpass it in the horrible. It is certainly a year that future generations will wonder about; what did we do and how did we get on with life?  We hoarded and cooked and baked and read and watched television. We absorbed so much media that reruns became a thing again. Ideally, a rerun offers the opportunity for another, better look. I encountered one of those better look stories on an NPR program, “The Moth.” It is a program in which amateur storytellers tell a personal story in front of a live audience. This particular episode was a repeat of a show that was recorded in Dublin a few years back. I was hooked right there. The story began with a young girl who was working in a Dunne’s Stores on Henry Street in Dublin. The year was 1984. Unions were under threat around the globe and were staunchly defended in spite of that. This young girl, like the other trade union employees in that store and all-around Ireland, had received a statement from their leadership that they were not to handle goods originating from South Africa. The goods consisted mainly of fruit. Apartheid was at one of its ugliest junctions, clawing to hang on to an indefensible position. Nelson Mandela was in prison on Robben Island. Mary Manning, the Dunne’s Stores clerk, is still not really sure why she did it. She had heard things about South Africa on the news, but wasn’t a political person. She and the other girls were told not to handle produce from South Africa and they generally tried to follow union directives. On this particular day, a woman stood in her checkout line with some South African grapefruit. Mary refused to handle the fruit at her register. She was warned by management, but she chose not to change her position and the strike was born in that moment. Ten of her Dublin co-workers followed suit, nine other young ladies and one young gentleman. One of them was twenty-four years old, one of them was only seventeen, and the others were twenty years old. They were inner city store employees. Most of them still lived with their parents. They did not see themselves as changing the world. Nor did they realize how long, lonely and difficult the strike would be at times. to read the rest of the story,  it is a very good one, hop over to our OhioIANews.com, or our Facebook or Twitter pages after the podcast is complete.  It is striking.  Ireland native and OhioIANews Columnist Regina Costello writes on Joe Biden’s Irish Roots, Bob Carney has a great list of Top 20 Books of 2020 in his Cleveland Comhra Column,  Plus we have our Irish Photography Cover Contest; Kids Coloring Contest; and our podcast Listener Contest, News for the GAA; a few Opinion pieces and the Irish movers, shakers and music makers that enrich our days.   Speaking of the New Kid’s Craic Colors of Ireland Contest, It kicked off in the November issue and continues with the December issue.

Guest Matt Little, Dartmouth '96, had a bit of a free-range childhood, allowed as he was to paddle out to his own little island fiefdom near his parent’s lake cabin in Central Minnesota. Finding frogs and other friends and feeling one with that special place, he knew then—as a young child—that he wanted to do all he could to protect special places like this. With an eye to one day becoming head of the Environmental Protection Agency, he pursued his high school studies to get him to the right college and the right experiences to make it happen. It paid off as he soon found himself in Washington, D.C., doing environmental policy work—yes, even with the Environmental Protection and also the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York.But with an eye on doing more for the Environment, capital E, he also knew that his own environment was also important for his psychic good. So he found a way to plunge himself back in nature and started making impact in a different way.In this episode, find out from Matt how continuing to make the impact that fills your soul sometimes requires a change in environment…on ROADS TAKEN...with Leslie Jennings Rowley. About This Episode's GuestMatt Little is a conservationist, environmental policy wonk, and currently the director of investor partnerships at Social Venture Partners Portland. He lives in Washington State with his wife and their two daughters, whom he tries to get into the great outdoors as much as possible. Executive Producer/Host: Leslie Jennings RowleyMusic: Brian Burrows

On this episode of The Open Door, panelists Jim Hanink, Mario Ramos-Reyes, and Christopher Zehnder discuss the surprise popular series The Queen's Gambit and what it tells us about the corrosive Netflix effect. Our special guest is Josh Herring. His work has appeared on Public Discourse, the Imaginative Conservative, and The Federalist. He is Dean of Students at Thales Academy. Josh has a Master of Divinity degree and is a doctoral candidate at Faulkner University. We ask him the following questions.Could you tell us a bit about your background?Thales Academy, your academic home, offers a classical curriculum. What does this mean? What led you to write about The Queen's Gambit?Can you point out the differences between Frank Tevis's The Queen's Gambit : A Novel (1983) and Frank Scott's adaptation?Does The Queen's Gambit, if nothing else, succeed as tragedy?Resolved: Netflix is really just one player in a larger feedback loop designed to perpetuate a damaging message, much like a virus that replicates itself to infect others. What's your analysis?Decades ago Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote about “defining deviancy down.” What factors contribute to this broad phenomenon?Is programmed deviancy likely to be creative?Personal responsibility presupposes moral agency. What sort of beings could have moral agency?What's your next writing project?

In this week’s episode of Politics In Question, Wendy Schiller joins Julia, Lee, and James to talk about how we elect senators in the United States. Schiller is Professor of Political Science, Professor of International and Public Affairs, and Chair of Political Science at Brown University. She has also experienced politics as a practitioner, having served on the staffs of Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the Senate and Governor Mario Cuomo in New York. Schiller is the author of several books, including Electing the Senate: Indirect Democracy before the Seventeenth Amendment (Princeton University Press) and Partners and Rivals: Representation in U.S. Senate Delegations (Princeton University Press). And she has published articles in the American Journal of Political Science, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Studies in American Political Development, and the Journal of Politics.What is the best way to pick United States senators? What are the consequences of different modes of electing senators? Does direct election of senators impact their behavior inside the Senate differently than indirect election? What would happen if Americans repealed the 17th Amendment? And why are there two Senate seats up for grabs in Georgia at the same time? These are some of the questions that Wendy, Julia, Lee, and James discuss in this week’s episode.

Navigating an unprecedented mix of challenges mayors across the US rely on innovative fiscal and managerial actions to navigate the lasting early impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and new challenges on the horizon. In discussing these actions panelists touch on the research on city fiscal conditions by Professor Reschovsky as well as a new national survey of municipal leaders by Engaging Local Government Leaders, Route Fifty, and other partners. This special briefing features a panel of experts, including Linda J. Bilmes, Daniel Patrick Moynihan senior lecturer in public policy and public finance, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University; Andrew Reschovsky, professor emeritus of Public Affairs and Applied Economics, Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Bill Lucia, senior reporter, Route Fifty; Andrew Rein, president, Citizens Budget Commission of New York. Notable Quotes: “A rough scaling up of these estimates to all local governments in the entire United States suggests revenue shortfalls this fiscal year of $103-$165 billion.” - Andrew Reschovsky “Just over 60% of respondents said that capital projects would be the budget item most impacted by revenue shortfalls stemming from the Coronavirus. Among leadership positions the percentage of respondents who said so was even higher.” - Bill Lucia “The Mayor (of NYC) has actually talked about, if we don't get this $1 billion saved, we need to lay off 22,000 workers, or we need to borrow money. We think that is a false choice.” - Andrew Rein “The best run cities that I'm working with are trying to quickly convert at least key portions of their budgets into activity-based budgets.” - Linda Bilmes Be sure to subscribe to Special Briefing to stay up to date on the world of public finance.

National concern about income inequalities. Race relations at a boiling point. Riots in the streets. Cries on the left for massive allocations of federal money for housing and poverty reduction programs. Social scientists and professional activists touting theories and pet proposals for projects that will supposedly eradicate poverty if only enough money is thrown at them. Tensions between local and state officials and the White House and between bureaucrats and the poor people they claim to be helping. Factionalism roiling the left as new players challenge the Democratic Party establishment. Concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve. Economic uncertainty and balance of trade issues leading to tensions with our supposed allies. The once iconic General Electric facing public image problems. Big industrial unions like the United Automobile Workers losing clout to unions representing white-collar government workers. The perennial debate about what we now call the universal basic income (UBI). The rise of the expert class—and the backlash against it. St. Louis as the poster child of racial and class tensions. Acrimony between presidential appointees and the president himself. A naïve, self-serving belief among progressives that all we need to do to solve every problem is to hearken back to the New Deal and outdo it by going big, big, big on social spending. Outright cries for socialism in America. Debates on the right and within the GOP about which political path to follow—surrendering to the administrative state or remaining committed to the free market and personal liberty. Sound familiar? But wait—this isn't 2020. It is the period of roughly 1964-1972 that journalist and historian Amity Shlaes chronicles in her 2019 book, Great Society: A New History (Harper, 2019) Given the unprecedented, gargantuan levels of federal spending we are seeing these days designed to deal with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing debate revolving around the Black Lives Matter movement, Shlaes' book is exquisitely well-timed. Now is the time to revisit the Great Society era and consider what worked and what ended up destroying poor neighborhoods and the lives of those in them. Shlaes also introduces us to many of the now standard public policy types whose latter-day incarnations we all live with today. There is the influential gadfly author who alerts Americans to this or that social problem (Michael Harrington). The charismatic super-bureaucrat who oversells his federal programs and rides roughshod over those at the local level (Sargent Shriver). The memo-producing social scientist for-hire who loves government more than life itself (Daniel Patrick Moynihan). The young activist who rides the wave of social upheaval only to be sidelined by those more ruthless, effective and radical than he (Tom Hayden). The union leader who revels in conferring with American presidents and cultivating allies on the left even as his industry is being gutted by foreign competitors (Walter Reuther of the United Automobile Workers). We know these types by now and Shlaes reminds us how we got used to such figures. Never was a better time to look back at a key period in the history of big government and to consider how we can avoid replicating the counterproductive policies that helped create the very conditions that are generating the current outcry about income disparities and racial injustice.

On the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Maura Moynihan, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's daughter, talks about Chinese organ harvesting, as well as the vandals of Antifa and the dramatic change in the Democrat party.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Best known for his 24 years in the Senate, Daniel Patrick Moynihan (1927 - 2003) was a major figure in the political history of the United States in the second half of the twentieth century. In this Conversation, political scientist Greg Weiner, author of a fine intellectual biography of Moynihan, reviews Moynihan's political career and his approach to political and social problems. In his rejection of extremism, his defense of proceduralism in government, and his willingness to use good social science while also seeing its limits, Moynihan's example has much to teach us today. Kristol and Weiner also consider the extent to which Moynihan benefited from the political thought of Edmund Burke, and why Burke remains highly relevant to our times.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan's classic essay, "Defining Deviancy Down." and how today's left has defined hate rhetoric down. The cyber-strike against Iran. Ilhan Omar's troubles worsen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to say that a city can “die”? As Brian Tochterman shows in this compelling intellectual and cultural history, motifs of imminent death—of a “Necropolis” haunting the country's great “Cosmopolis”—have been a persistent feature of discourse on the probable fate of New York City since the Second World War. The Dying City: Postwar New York and the Ideology of Fear (University of North Carolina Press, 2017) traces this “spatial narrative” across many domains of thought and cultural production: fiction and essays, planning theory and practice, humanistic and social-scientific criticism in the public square, and film in the age of Charles Bronson's Death Wish. Throughout, Tochterman shows that New York intellectuals of diverse political inflections have made specters of urban “ungovernability” central to how America and the world look at New York—whether to compel remedies, to render the city's very chaos alluring, or, especially, to argue for the futility of intervention. Tochterman sheds new light on such figures as E. B. White, Mickey Spillane, Robert Moses, Jane Jacobs, Daniel Bell, Irving Howe, Lionel Abel, Michael Harrington, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Nathan Glazer, and John Lindsay, among other compass points in the urbanism and intellectual life of postwar New York. Between “Fun City” and “Fear City,” a new image of the metropolitan past, present, and future comes into focus. Peter Ekman teaches in the departments of geography at Sonoma State University and the University of California, Berkeley. He received the Ph.D. from Berkeley in 2016, and is at work on two book projects on the cultural and historical geography of urban America across the long twentieth century.

Join us as we look into this age old notion that we as  Oringal people are constantly accused for wrong doing even in death.   William Ryan coined the phrase "blaming the victim" in his 1971 book Blaming the Victim.[3][4][5][6][7] In the book, Ryan described victim blaming as an ideology used to justify racism and social injustice against black people in the United States.[6] Ryan wrote the book to refute Daniel Patrick Moynihan's 1965 work The Negro Family: The Case for National Action (usually simply referred to as the Moynihan Report).[citation needed] Moynihan had concluded that three centuries of horrible treatment at the hands of whites, and in particular the uniquely cruel structure of American slavery as opposed to its Latin American counterparts, had created a long series of chaotic disruptions within the black family structure which, at the time of the report, manifested itself in high rates of unwed births, absent fathers, and single mother households in black families. Moynihan then correlated these familial outcomes, which he considered undesirable, to the relatively poorer rates of employment, educational achievement, and financial success found among the black population. Moynihan advocated the implementation of government programs designed to strengthen the black nuclear family.[citation needed]
