Podcast appearances and mentions of dave rank

In a tumultuous year for the global economy, China stands out for its strong recovery. However, 2020 also saw increasing Sino-American antagonism and questions over Chinese influence. China clearly has visions for the new world order and is playing an increasingly important role in the international landscape, but what are its political and economic aspirations? Stephanie Segal, senior fellow at CSIS; Dave Rank, former Chargé d'Affaires at the US Embassy in Beijing; and Gerwin Bell, lead economist for Asia at PGIM Fixed Income join Mark Sobel, OMFIF's US chairman, to discuss China's position in the global political and economic system and what it means for the US.

Amid its terrible death toll and economic devastation, the coronavirus pandemic has prompted people, businesses and governments to rethink the way they live and operate. Now, as countries seek to take their first steps back toward normality, many are wondering what changes forced upon us by Covid-19 may be worth keeping when the crisis has passed. For Thailand’s national parks, the pandemic has meant a chance for nature to regenerate thanks to the absence of tourists. Senior Asia Economy Reporter Michelle Jamrisko reports on how a government plan to make that a regular occurrence faces pushback from local businesses desperate for foot-traffic again.  Our guest host, Bloomberg Chief Economist Tom Orlik, talks with America’s former top career diplomat in China, Dave Rank, about relations between the world’s two biggest economic powers and what the U.S. election could mean for their future relations. He also catches up on the latest Brexit developments with Bloomberg Economics’ Dan Hanson.

Dave Rank, a high ranking diplomat, resigned over Trump’s climate change policy. Also: a former sheriff worries that new legislation in California to protect unauthorised immigrants will make it harder for police officers to do their jobs; a member of India’s lowest caste moves to New York and becomes a train conductor; a journalist travels around the world to see how people pay taxes; Harry Truman’s grandson impersonates him in a play; plus we meet some four legged civil servants: bomb sniffing dogs.

When I met Dave Rank, he was just a normal guy on a road trip with his wife in a used Subaru. But not long before that, Dave had a very important job.

When President Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, Dave Rank was working for the U.S. State Department. He took a stand against that decision, and soon found himself out of a job.

On this week's #DDFP "Top 100: Players of 2012" reaction show, Dave & Rank discuss Michael Vick's big slide down the list and debate where Philip Rivers ranks among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. Plus, with Donovan McNabb attempting a comeback, the guys examine the training methods of former NFL stars trying to get back on the field.

With the hateable Heat on their way to an NBA title, Dave & Rank discuss the most despised teams in the NFL; the fellas also review Dave's playoff for the title "NFL QB Franchise", then set up a playoff for which team has had the most good linebackers; Dave announces the best player jersey for a Packers fan to wear; and finally, Handsome Hank pays a visit with his Tweet of the Week.  In summation, if you like football, you'll love this podcast.  Probably.
