Podcasts about disunion

In this episode of Disunion, host David R. Osborne is joined by Will Sussman of the Manhattan Institute to discuss a disturbing development out of Massachusetts: the state's largest teachers union, the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA), has come under fire for promoting anti-Semitic classroom materials.Will and David break down the details of a shocking legislative hearing, where lawmakers confronted union leadership about educational resources linked to pro-Hamas propaganda and inflammatory imagery—including a Star of David made of dollar bills and posters glorifying political violence.The conversation explores how radical ideologies have gained influence in government unions, the limits of union democracy, and how exclusive representation leaves many educators stuck with a union that doesn't reflect their values. Will also shares insights from his own legal battles and raises a critical question: who really controls our public schools?

Episode 238: United States of Disunion by Craig Johnson

History was made in the US Capitol Tuesday night: The first address to a joint session of Congress by a convicted criminal. President Trump returned to the scene of the January 6th crime, triumphant at having won an election by promising lower prices and stability. We'll recap a speech outlining his plans for higher prices and ever more instability. And in Climate Check: How Trump's layoffs at NOAA are a classic case of “shoot the messenger” for someone who doesn't want to hear about his impact on the climate.

Review of:  Decade of Disunion: How Massachusetts and South Carolina Led the Way to Civil War, 1849-1861, by Robert W. Merry  Reviewed by Stan Prager, Regarp Book Blog, www.regarp.com  

Steve gives his State of the Disunion address on the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Mark Rogers joins in for his take and to talk about his book "Disputed National Champions."

Detroit Sports Podcast -- The Michigan Podcast This episode -- Steve gives his State of the Disunion address on the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry! Mark Rogers joins in for his take and to talk about his book "Disputed National Champions."

In his new book, Decade of Disunion, Robert W. Merry explores the critical lessons from the 1850s when the United States faced a growing crisis over slavery. The Mexican War's vast new territories sparked debates on expanding slavery, clashing with the 1820 Missouri Compromise. Key events such as the Compromise of 1850, the 1854 repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the 1857 Dred Scott decision, and John Brown's 1859 raid heightened tensions, leading to violent conflicts and further division between North and South. Merry focuses on the contrasting roles of South Carolina and Massachusetts. South Carolina, reliant on slave labor, debated secession, while Massachusetts became an antislavery stronghold, questioning the Constitution's role in abolishing slavery. These states' actions widened the national divide, making disunion inevitable. In December 1860, South Carolina's secession following Abraham Lincoln's election triggered the South's departure from the Union. Through the lens of key figures, Merry underscores the fragile nature of democracy and the continuous effort required to sustain it. Robert W. Merry spent 45 years in Washington, D.C., as a Wall Street Journal reporter and executive at Congressional Quarterly, including 12 years as CQ's president and editor-in-chief. After CQ was sold to the Economist, he also served as editor of the polemical magazines The National Interest and The American Conservative. He is the author of six books on American history and foreign policy, including the forthcoming Decade of Disunion: How Massachusetts and South Carolina Led the Way to Civil War, 1849-1861.

Keir Starmer is pushing for a reset of relations with the European Union, but has ruled out rejoining in his lifetime. So how close can or should the UK get? How welcome is Britain in Brussels after all the Brexit grief? And does the changing tone of public opinion here mean he can easily get past the toxicity of Brexit for both the Labour Party and the country? David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Project at the European Centre For International Political Economy, tells Phil and Roger how the path back to the EU might begin. Hosted on Acast.

John J. Miller is joined by Robert W. Merry to discuss his new book, 'Decade of Disunion.'

Constitutions are often thought of as the agents of change for monarchies and empires, usually it spells doom for them. But the history of constitutions is far more complicated than a revolutionary tool, in fact some of them were penned by monarchs themselves. Linda Colley is a professor of history at Princeton University. Her latest book, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World is a deep dive into some of the most notable constitutions, how they came to be, and the impacts they have in today's world. Linda and Greg discuss how constitutions often borrowed and plagiarized constitutions before them, how the purpose of the documents has evolved over time, and how a constitution-less Britain still influenced so many other constitutions. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Do constitutions borrow from each other?05:16: Publishers started producing not just the text of one constitution; they started bundling together the texts of multiple constitutions. And these compendia became very useful for governments wanting to initiate or amend a constitution, particularly if they had to act quickly. Because they could say, "Oh, I really like that bit in Argentina's constitution." Or, "Oh, that Hawaiian constitution hits it on the spot." And if you analyze the makeup of some constitutions, the Norwegian constitution of 1814 is an extreme example. You can see them adopting sentences, sometimes whole paragraphs, because Norwegians had to act quickly before a Swedish army was moving in. So they had to do this in a matter of weeks. So they bought and acquired all these compendia of constitutions, and they just cut and pasted.The evolving role of constitutions21:37: So, constitutions, because they go into print and now go online, can work as advertisements and proclamations to foreign audiences—not just something that caters to domestic and legal purposes.The british identity49:51: In the British case, power and success have notably receded since the Second World War. There's been more uncertainty, therefore, about national identity and British identity. Hence, the independence movement in Scotland in part. And so, that's another factor that might influence future constitutional thinking. Given that some of the old props of national identity no longer work, would a statement of constitutional unity and definition be helpful?How lockdowns hurt the poorest countries48:15:The poorest countries reorganize their economies to fit in with the West. That's what brought a billion people out of poverty. The lockdowns essentially were a violation of that promise, right? What the West basically said was, "We're going to pull up the drawbridge because we're scared." And all of those trade promises we made to you were gone. The markets that we promised to you are gone, and the people at the lowest rungs of world society, meaning the poorest of the poor, became even poorer, and millions died as a consequence of that. On the first day of the lockdown, Prime Minister Modi of India ordered half a billion people to walk, bike, and find some way to go back from the city centers where they were working, migrant workers, to their home villages. And a thousand died en route that day. The life savings of those half a billion people were crushed overnight.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Thomas Babington MacaulayEric Foner“The United States' Unamendable Constitution” by Jill LeporeGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Princeton UniversityProfessional WebsiteHer Work:The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837Captives: Britain, Empire, and the World, 1600-1850The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World HistoryActs of Union and Disunion

In our latest Scrappy Sunday, we talk about the State of Disunion that liberals have wrought on the rest of us. We talk about International Women's Day being celebrated while Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton bomb and exploit their way to power. Scott talks about anti-war direct actions in his hometown of Garland, TX and how Sen. Tom Cotten is calling for investigations of “left extremism” in the military after Aaron Bushnell's death. All this and this week in radical history (which celebrates radical women such as Judy Bari, Berta Cáceres and Lucy Parsons). ————— Outro- “The Best Things in Life Are Free” by The Melbourne Ska Orchestra Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/DhE7zACh) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Joe Biden and the GOP response by Sen. Katie Britt (AL). They analyze the theatrics of the civic ritual - and how the chamber has turned into something more like the comments section on a YouTube video than a stately affair where all three of our branches of government gather. Brad draws on the work of Sara Moslener and Megan Goodwin to explain how Britt's response was a manifestation of the innocent White women myth and a form of contraceptive nationalism.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Honorable Peter Hoekstra who served as America's ambassador to the Netherlands. Special Commentary via America's Roundtable Radio | Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy review President Joe Biden's State of the Union address and the China threat. During 1993-2011, US Congressman Hoekstra served the citizens of Michigan's 2nd congressional district, was the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the Gang of Eight from 2004 until 2011, receiving the most highly classified information available in the U.S. government. During his tenure as America's top diplomat to the Netherlands, The Hague hosted the Department of State Global Entrepreneurial Summit in June of 2019, which was attended by over 2000 entrepreneurs, investors, and other business leaders. Pete Hoekstra's areas of expertise include national security, international relations, cyber security, marketing and business development and his experience as a Fortune 500 executive. In February 2024, he took over the reins as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. Key topics covered with Ambassador Hoekstra on America's Roundtable: The state of America's economy, the nation's significant challenge with millions of illegal immigrants pouring into the nation since 2021, and the growing concerns of a looming security threat within the nation's borders. The China threat in states across America: The efforts to mobilize grassroots activists to oppose the efforts undertaken by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., the CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. to bring two lithium ion battery manufacturers to Michigan which are headquartered in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and alleged to have ties with Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Published report (https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19607/communist-china-michigan): "For the projects in Michigan, there are all sorts of red flags flying around the roughly $4 billion in economic incentives, tax benefits, and infrastructure improvements the state of Michigan is handing out as incentives to CATL/Ford and Gotion to locate the two projects in Michigan. Ford is "licensing" CCP technology for its plant with CATL while Gotion is a subsidiary of a Chinese-based company subject to Chinese surveillance laws. Both already have seen support from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the state legislature, which last week began the process of approving nearly $200 million for the Gotion project in Michigan." Op-Ed by US Ambassadors Pete Hoekstra and Joe Cella | The Detroit News | Against China threat, Whitmer leans into Taiwan (https://www.detroitnews.com/restricted/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitnews.com%2Fstory%2Fopinion%2F2024%2F03%2F06%2Fhoekstra-and-cella-against-china-threat-whitmer-leans-into-taiwan%2F72868803007%2F) Brief excerpt: "_It is unconscionable and hypocritical of Whitmer to invest billions of Michigan taxpayer dollars in these PRC-based and CCP-tied companies — which are also connected to the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Communist North Korea, forced labor in Xinjiang, and Communist Chinese Military Companies — while ignoring the existential threat the PRC and the CCP present to Taiwan. Worse yet, the "deals" are shrouded by secret code names, binding and punitive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and were not subjected to strict scrutiny and due diligence, defying the direction of our national security and intelligence agencies gave to a group of bipartisan elected officials and business leaders. With the threat environment emanating around the globe from the PRC and the CCP today, it takes strong principles to stand and courageously counter the threat to protect our national security._" Is President Joe Biden's policy threatening Israel's future? Is Biden's administration and political campaign placing electorate considerations above Israel's security and sovereignty? Focusing on Iran's ambitions. Focusing on the concerns raised by Michigan's voters and the swing state's influence on the presidential election.

So much anger as President Joe Biden flubbed his way through another State of the Union address last night. Pro-Hamas activists attempt to stop Biden's motorcade to keep him from getting to the U.S. Capitol. How many lies were told at the State of the Union speech last night? Glenn Beck joins the show to give his thoughts about last night. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) gives an overly dramatic response to Biden's address. Could "hate speech" get you life in prison in Canada? Donald Trump provided a pre-buttal and RFK Jr. spoke last night as well. A tour of very strange people on the internet. The culprit for the largest wildfire in Texas history may have been identified.

We review details of President Biden's State of the Union address and reaction to the speech. Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil talks about the major themes struck by the president and how those carry over into his campaign for reelection.

Join host and Commonwealth Foundation Senior Fellow for Labor Policy David R. Osborne as we dive into discussions of the positive public policies that would clear up what has become the murky world of government unions.

As the party packs into an ancient, hotwired Honda Odyssey, on the road and on the run, Adrastos leads them away into the outskirts in hopes of being met with aid for B and safety for them all, however temporary. After all, there's no place like home. And while they didn't know quite what to expect, this certainly wasn't it.

How close did the United States came to tearing itself apart during the American Revolution? And what can we learn from the turbulent birth of the United States? To illuminate this critical chapter in American history and its contemporary implications, Tavis is joined by Eli Merritt, political historian at Vanderbilt University and author of the new text "Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution" (June 2023). In the book, Merritt takes us on a journey through this tumultuous period, revealing how the Founding Fathers grappled with the very real specter of disunion and civil war. Against all odds, they managed to unite for the cause of liberty and self-preservation, forging historic compromises (such as the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the Mississippi-Fisheries Compromise of 1779, and the ratification of the Articles of Confederation in 1781.) In a time marked by political hyperpolarization, Merritt joins Tavis for a conversation on how the lessons from this critical period in American history can resonate with our contemporary challenges.

In this edition of The ReidOut, Dr. Jason Johnson fills in for Joy Reid. We cover how a Manhattan grand jury is preparing to vote soon on an indictment of Donald Trump related to a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels. As we await their decision, there are several major developments on other fronts. A judge says the special counsel has provided sufficient evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime through his attorneys in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, and that Trump attorney Evan Corcoran should be compelled to tell a grand jury everything he knows about that alleged criminal conduct. Our legal and political experts discuss these matters and more. Plus, in this installment of our "State of Disunion" series, we cover how most Americans are concerned about about fair wages, affordable housing, solid schools that are safe and safe drinking water. Meanwhile, many Republicans are busy passing legislation targeting innocuous issues and minorities. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the observation: "How rich would it be if it is an extra-marital affair with a porn actress that sinks Donald Trump?" Joy and her legal expert guests discuss the Manhattan DA's office offering Trump a chance to testify--and what that possibly means. Also in this episode, we explain how Leonard Leo played a large role in pushing the courts to the far right. Now, he thinks the rest of American society needs a hard right turn. Joy and her panel discuss why he has a fundamental misundertanding of why the right is losing the culture wars. Plus, in the latest installment of our "State of Disunion" series, Joy details how political power is being wielded in states with one-party control. In Tennessee, Republicans are using it like a club, attacking the LGBTQ community. Yet, it is a much different story in Democratic-controlled Michigan. Finally: Joy agrees with Tucker Carlson--from 2009--in this suprising clip. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid takes us to Mississippi for tonight's State of Disunion, as the state's leaders apparently and unapologetically embrace a right-wing agenda. Plus, Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill on Thursday that would restrict drag performances, as Republicans in Tennessee move full speed ahead in an apparent quest to promote a right-wing agenda. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads The ReidOut tonight on this 13th day of Black History Month with the legend of John Henry, and the real person behind this tale--plus how his true story echoes the reported circumstances surrounding the Ohio train derailment, including an alleged fallout of dangerous chemicals. Plus, as Agent Mulder explained on 'The X-Files,' "The truth is out there." Space aliens are probably not responsible, but after the downing of that Chinese spy balloon, unidentified flying objects were shot down over the weekend by the U.S. Military. So what were they? Also in this episode, we have new information on the Georgia investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Portions of the grand jury report will soon become public as the Fulton County DA considers criminal charges. Finally, we cover how white officials in Mississippi approved a bill to set up a seperate white-appointed court system for the people of Jackson, which just happens to be 80-percent Black. It is tonight's dispatch from our "State of Disunion" series, kicking off in this episode. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Is the U.S. on the brink of civil war? It's a question that has been in the air for a while now, as divisions continue to worsen. Beyond the political speeches and debates in the halls of Congress, it's something you're likely feeling in your day-to-day life. Vaccines, school curriculums, climate change, what you define as a human rights issue, even who you call a friend. Some say we've moved beyond the point of discussion. But when words fail, what comes next? In conversation with Malcolm Nance, Anne Applebaum, and Peniel Joseph, we take a deeper look at what we mean when we say civil war, how exactly the country reached this political moment, and where we go from here.

Ellis, Ph.D.    Hardcover – September 21, 2021 https://www.amazon.com/Cause-American-Revolution-Discontents-1773-1783/dp/1631498983 Countering popular histories that romanticize the “Spirit of '76,” Ellis demonstrates that the rebels fought under the mantle of “The Cause,” a mutable, conveniently ambiguous principle that afforded an umbrella under which different, and often conflicting, convictions and goals could coexist. Neither an American nation nor a viable government existed at the end of the war. In fact, one revolutionary legacy regarded the creation of such a nation, or any robust expression of government power, as the ultimate betrayal of The Cause. This legacy alone rendered any effective response to the twin tragedies of the founding―slavery and the Native American dilemma―problematic at best. Written with the vivid and muscular prose for which Ellis is known, and with characteristically trenchant insight, The Cause marks the culmination of a lifetime of engagement with the founding era. A landmark work of narrative history, it challenges the story we have long told ourselves about our origins as a people, and as a nation. 6 illustrations; 7 maps
