⚡️Click Here To Text Monique!This week, Monique sits down with Dr. Kemi Dole, a gynecologic oncologist, surgeon, and debut author, for a conversation that is equal parts education, confession, and wake-up call.Dr. Dole's new book, A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing (Penguin Random House, May 2026), does what most medical books never do: it tells the truth in plain language, with warmth, and without talking down to you. In this episode, Monique shares how it changed her relationship to her own body, and Dr. Dole walks us through why so many Black women are bleeding too much, dismissed too quickly, and left to suffer in silence for far too long.They get into the real numbers behind heavy periods and anemia, what your bleeding is actually telling you, and why the medical system has been so slow to listen. Dr. Dole also opens up about her own reckoning, including missing her own endometriosis diagnosis until she was on the operating table.The conversation closes on the concept of womb sisterhood: the idea that healing this well-kept secret should not be a solo effort, and that the women in your life might be waiting for someone to simply ask.GUEST INFODr. Kemi Doll, physician, surgeon, advocate, career coach, and a double-board certified gynecologic oncologist and uterine cancer scientist |  Website | Book | Podcast |  InstagramGEMS DROPPED“I want women to have better gynecologic health. I don't want us to continue thinking about gynecologic health as though, “as long as it's not killing you, it's probably fine.” - Dr. Kemi Doll“​I ​didn't ​realize  ​how ​much ​I ​saw ​myself ​as ​a ​site ​of ​production, until ​you ​taught ​me ​that ​the ​unpregnant ​womb ​had ​its ​own ​life ​and ​role ​to ​play. ​And ​that ​my ​bleeding ​spoke ​an ​intricate ​language and ​that ​​my ​well ​being  ​was ​a ​part ​of ​that ​language.”  - Monique R, Shields“There's something very powerful about receiving the message so young that, “when you suffer, be quiet about it.” That message carries forward in a way that goes beyond gynecology and womb health. And that is what I want us to heal from.” - Dr. Kemi Doll“I invoke this concept of womb sisterhood, which means having one or two people in our lives we can share these things with so when you go to the doctor, you have someone who can come with you. you. ​There ​isn't ​embarrassment. ​There ​doesn't ​have ​to ​be ​silencing. ​These ​are ​such ​vulnerable appointments and having someone there who has your back can make a real difference. It also helps with accountability.” - Dr. Kemi Doll“Especially for those of us born with a womb or gendered as female, I believe this is one of the first ways we learn to silence our bodies and hide. We ​teach ​girls ​how ​to ​have ​a ​period ​that ​nobody ​knows ​about. ​​That's ​what ​we ​define ​as ​success.. ​This ​is ​how ​you ​hide ​it. ​This ​is ​how ​you ​very modestly ​go ​to ​the ​bathroom ​so ​nobody ​knows. ​And ​even ​when ​women ​talk ​about ​their ​most ​​embarrassing ​moments, ​it's ​always ​somebody ​basically ​found ​out ​I ​was ​on ​my ​period.” - Dr. Kemi Doll“This ​book ​has ​changed ​my ​relationship  ​to ​my ​body ​​entirely.” - Monique R.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereWorld War II continues in Europe and the Pacific, while Bob Dole continues to train on the home front and wonders if he will ever make it overseas, like his younger brother Kenny who is an experienced combat veteran by summer 1944. When Dole gets another chance to attend OCS and become an officer, he jumps at it - and this time he gets a class slot. The Army has a shortage of lieutenants and needs to quickly train more. Dole is happy to replace an LT but never stops to ask why so many need to be replaced.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 454 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 35)Bush vs. Dole: The 1988 Campaign (B) — The New Hampshire PrimaryIn Episode 454 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we turn to one of the most decisive moments of the 1988 Republican presidential race: the battle for New Hampshire.Fresh off his victory in the Iowa Caucuses, Bob Dole appeared to have the momentum. For the first time in his long political career, the Republican nomination seemed within reach. The press was talking about a Dole surge, and supporters believed Iowa might be the breakthrough he had spent years pursuing.But standing in his path was Vice President George H. W. Bush, whose campaign suddenly found itself fighting for survival.The New Hampshire Primary would become the turning point.This episode examines:• The aftermath of Dole's Iowa victory • Bush's determination to stop Dole's momentum • The media battles that shaped public perception of the race • The campaign strategies employed by both candidates • The famous and often tense exchanges that became hallmarks of the New Hampshire contest • How one primary helped determine the future nominee of the Republican PartyThe campaign was more than a contest between two candidates. It was a clash of styles, personalities, and political identities within the Republican Party.Dole brought decades of legislative experience, sharp wit, and a reputation as one of Washington's most effective leaders.Bush brought the prestige of the vice presidency, the legacy of the Reagan administration, and a national campaign organization determined to regain control of the race.As the candidates crisscrossed New Hampshire, every speech, debate, television appearance, and campaign stop carried enormous significance.For Bob Dole, New Hampshire represented an opportunity to transform momentum into inevitability.For George Bush, it was a chance to save his campaign.Only one would leave with the advantage.And the outcome would reshape the course of the 1988 Republican presidential nomination battle.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 453 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 34)Bush vs. Dole: The 1988 Republican Primary (A) — The Iowa Caucus CampaignIn Episode 453 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we begin our examination of one of the most important and hard-fought campaigns of his political life — the 1988 Republican presidential primary.For years, Dole had risen through the ranks of American politics: Congressman, Senator, Vice Presidential nominee, Chairman of the Finance Committee, and Senate Republican Leader. Now, with Ronald Reagan preparing to leave office, Dole saw what many believed would be his best opportunity to capture the Republican nomination for President.Standing in his way was Reagan's Vice President, George H. W. Bush, the early favorite and heir apparent to much of the Reagan coalition.This episode focuses on the opening battleground of the campaign — the Iowa Caucuses.We explore:• Why Iowa became so critical to Dole's strategy • The strengths and weaknesses of the Dole and Bush campaigns • The role of retail politics and grassroots organization in Iowa • The issues and themes shaping the Republican contest • The intense competition between two longtime Republican leadersThe Iowa campaign showcased two very different political styles. Dole relied on his legislative experience, sharp debating skills, and Midwestern roots, while Bush sought to build upon the popularity of the Reagan administration and his standing as Vice President.As the candidates crisscrossed Iowa, the stakes could not have been higher. A strong showing could provide momentum toward the nomination. A poor performance could bring a campaign to a sudden halt.This is the beginning of a rivalry that would shape the Republican Party's future — and one of the most fascinating presidential contests of the Reagan era.The battle lines are drawn.The caucuses are approaching.And the road to the 1988 Republican nomination begins in Iowa.

Send us Fan MailFor Episode 452 of the podcast, we continue our in-depth exploration of the remarkable life and career of Bob Dole with Part 33 of The Life That Brought Him There. In this episode, we revisit Dole's March 25, 1985 appearance at the prestigious Landon Lecture, where the Kansas senator delivered a speech titled “The Dream of America.” The lecture came at a pivotal moment in Dole's political rise, as he was emerging as one of the most influential voices in the United States Senate and would soon become Senate Majority Leader. Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Alf Landon, Dole reflected on American ideals, opportunity, technological progress, national responsibility, and the challenges facing a new generation. He spoke about the importance of courage in public life, the promise of individual dreams, and the need to confront issues such as poverty, nuclear tensions, and fiscal responsibility while preserving the values that define the American experiment. Join us as we examine the themes, historical context, and political significance of this landmark address, offering a window into Dole's vision for America and the principles that shaped one of the most consequential public servants of the twentieth century.

Lumière sur le festival Rockalissimo, rendez-vous musical devenu incontournable dans le Jura, qui revient les 5 et 6 juin à Saint-Aubin, près de Dole. Né en 2004, le festival mise depuis plus de vingt ans sur une programmation éclectique, une ambiance conviviale et un fort ancrage local, avec une organisation portée par plusieurs dizaines de bénévoles. Cette année encore, des têtes d'affiche partageront la scène avec des artistes régionaux. On découvre la programmation et les coulisses du festival avec Claire Daubigney, responsable communication du festival.

This Day in Legal History: The Indian Removal Act of 1830On this day May 28, 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, authorizing the federal government to “negotiate” the relocation of Native American tribes east of the Mississippi to lands in what is now Oklahoma. On its face the statute framed displacement as voluntary, treaty-based, and compensated; in practice it became the legal scaffolding for the forced expulsion of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole nations, culminating in the Trail of Tears.The bill passed the House by just five votes, with Davy Crockett among its most prominent dissenters. The years that immediately followed produced the Marshall Court's foundational Indian law trilogy — Johnson v. M'Intosh, Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, and Worcester v. Georgia — the last of which Jackson famously (and probably apocryphally) refused to enforce. The doctrinal residue of the Removal era is still in force today: tribes remain “domestic dependent nations,” Congress still claims a “plenary power” over them, and the Supreme Court is still relitigating what reservation boundaries actually mean — most recently in McGirt v. Oklahoma in 2020 and Haaland v. Brackeen in 2023. The 1830 Act was not the beginning of dispossession in North America, but it was the moment Congress took ownership of the policy and dressed it in the language of statute. Whatever else May 28 marks on the calendar, in legal history it marks the day removal became American law.Dutch coatings giant AkzoNobel, the maker of Dulux paint, told Sherwin-Williams and Nippon Paint Wednesday that their €12.5 billion ($14.6 billion) joint takeover proposal is not a “superior proposal” and that the board would stay the course on its already-agreed merger with Axalta Coating Systems. The rejected offer, made at €73 per share, would have carved AkzoNobel up — Nippon taking the decorative paints business, Sherwin-Williams taking industrial coatings — and was the second pass after an earlier bid that the board had swatted away in April.AkzoNobel's reasons read like a Dutch corporate-law primer: the offer “did not come close to adequately reflecting” long-term value, the deal-certainty risk around regulatory clearances was too high, and the “interests of AkzoNobel stakeholders” were not adequately safeguarded. That last word is the legal tell. Under Dutch law, a listed company's board is not bound by anything resembling Delaware's Revlon duty to maximize shareholder value in a sale; it answers to a stakeholder model that explicitly weighs employees, creditors, suppliers, and the long-term interests of the enterprise alongside the shareholders. That gives a Dutch board far more room to reject a premium cash bid than a comparable U.S. target would have, especially with a friendly all-stock merger of equals (the Axalta deal) already on the table.The combined AkzoNobel-Axalta entity, announced last November and worth roughly $25 billion, plans to list on the NYSE with dual HQs in Amsterdam and Philadelphia and Dutch tax residency — a structure that itself preserves the Dutch governance model post-close. The CMA in the U.K. has already opened a public comment period on the Axalta deal, and antitrust review is likely the live front to watch from here.AkzoNobel Snubs €12.5B Sherwin-Williams, Nippon Paint Bid | Law360The Trump administration is preparing to halt federal immigration and customs processing at airports located in jurisdictions it deems “sanctuary cities” or “sanctuary states,”, according to a report Reuters published. The mechanism, if implemented, would have Customs and Border Protection officers stop staffing inbound international arrival processing — meaning international passengers landing at, say, San Francisco, Boston, or Seattle would be unable to clear customs at those airports and would have to be diverted. The legal architecture here is unusual because CBP staffing decisions sit at the discretionary end of federal administrative law: the agency has wide latitude to deploy officers where it wants, and there is no statutory entitlement for any particular city to host a federal port of entry.That said, a decision to use that discretion as punishment for a state or municipality's refusal to honor ICE detainers would invite a familiar set of challenges — South Dakota v. Dole-style coercion arguments dressed up as preemption, anti-commandeering claims under Murphy v. NCAA and Printz v. United States, and APA challenges under State Farm to whatever administrative record the agency assembles. Several of the targeted jurisdictions have already won injunctions in earlier rounds of sanctuary-city funding fights, including against the prior conditioning of Byrne JAG grants on detainer compliance. The political move is obvious; the legal move is less so, and the administration will need to articulate a non-pretextual reason for the staffing change if it wants to survive arbitrary-and-capricious review. Whether airlines, airport authorities, or the states themselves will have standing to sue — and what kind of irreparable harm a redirected flight inflicts — is going to be the first set of questions a court has to answer.US draws up plans to halt immigration, customs processing at ‘sanctuary city' airports | ReutersThe Supreme Court reversed and remanded the Fourth Circuit's decision reviving the National Association of Immigration Judges' First Amendment challenge to a federal rule restricting what sitting immigration judges may say publicly about the agency that employs them. The per curiam opinion's holding is narrow but striking: the Fourth Circuit, the justices said, committed an abuse of discretion by reviving the suit on a theory neither party briefed, a “drastic departure from the principle of party presentation” laid out in cases like United States v. Sineneng-Smith. The party-presentation principle is one of those background structural rules that doesn't get a lot of airtime — the basic idea is that federal courts are passive instruments that decide the cases the parties bring them, not the cases judges wish the parties had brought — but here it became outcome-determinative.Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, wrote separately to say the Fourth Circuit was also wrong on the merits because it ignored Elgin v. Department of the Treasury, the 2012 decision holding that the Civil Service Reform Act's administrative-channeling regime is the exclusive route for covered federal employees to challenge adverse employment actions, even constitutional ones. The practical effect is that the immigration judges' union now has to litigate its First Amendment claim through the Merit Systems Protection Board and then the Federal Circuit rather than in district court, and the case bounces back to the Fourth Circuit to redo the analysis on whatever ground the parties did actually raise. The Court also denied a cross-petition from the union. The case is Margolin v. National Association of Immigration Judges, No. 25-767; the merits cross-petition was No. 25-1009.Justices Order Redo In Immigration Judges' Free Speech Suit | Law360A Sixth Circuit panel on Tuesday affirmed the dismissal of an attempt by Right to Life of Michigan and a group of parents to block enforcement of Proposal 3, the 2022 Michigan ballot initiative that wrote a fundamental right to reproductive freedom into Article I, Section 28 of the state constitution. The panel did not reach the merits — the case stopped at standing — and the opinion, written by Judge John K. Bush, is a clean illustration of how high the Article III standing bar is for pre-enforcement challenges of this kind. Standing requires the plaintiff to show an injury that is fairly traceable to the defendant's conduct and likely to be redressed by a favorable decision, and the parents here couldn't make the traceability link work: their theory was that the amendment might allow schools or other actors to help minors obtain contraception or abortion care without parental consent, but the complaint identified no specific enforcement action by Governor Whitmer, Attorney General Nessel, or Secretary of State Benson that was causing or threatening any such injury.The panel reiterated the Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife framework and quoted approvingly the rule that a “general allegation” that an executive officer is “generally responsible for executing” state law does not, by itself, establish standing to sue that officer. The court also rejected the plaintiffs' attempt to bootstrap standing off the AG's and governor's authority to enforce Michigan's consumer protection and civil rights statutes, calling those allegations too speculative. This is going to be the template for the next several rounds of post-Dobbs challenges to state constitutional reproductive-rights amendments: the merits questions about scope and federal preemption will keep coming, but plaintiffs are going to need a concrete enforcement target to even get a hearing.6th Circ.

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 451 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine the substance of Bob Dole's years as Senate Republican Leader — the legislation passed, the compromises forged, and the institutional changes that reshaped the United States Senate during his watch.By the time Dole reached the height of Senate leadership, Washington was entering a period of major political and procedural transformation. The Senate of his early years — built heavily on personal relationships, committee power, and bipartisan negotiation — was beginning to evolve into a more partisan, media-driven institution.At the same time, major policy battles were unfolding across nearly every area of government.This episode explores:• Key legislation and policy accomplishments during Dole's leadership years • Budget battles, tax policy, and fiscal negotiations • The increasing nationalization of Senate politics • Changes in Senate procedure, leadership dynamics, and party strategy • How television, media, and messaging began reshaping the institution • The challenge of governing during an era of growing polarizationThroughout the episode, we see Dole operating not simply as a partisan leader, but as a legislative manager trying to balance ideology, political reality, and the practical demands of governing.The Senate was changing. The country was changing. And Bob Dole stood at the center of that transition.This is the story of leadership during a transformative era — when major policy was still being passed, but the institution itself was beginning to become something very different.

České zemědělství pálí nejvíc nízké ceny komodit. Řekl to znovuzvolený prezident Agrární komory Jan Doležal. Protesty zemědělců teď podle něj ale na místě nejsou. „Zemědělci mají aktuálně jiné starosti,“ dodal Doležal s tím, že farmáře trápí například přetrvávající sucho. Do budoucna nás čeká i zdražování. „Doby, kdy jsme jablka nakupovali za maximálně 30 korun, jsou pryč,“ řekl Doležal. Teď očekává, že ceny za toto ovoce můžou šplhat až na 50 korun, nepůjde ale o česká jablka. Jakub Veinlich se šéfa Agrární komory ptal třeba i na to, jestli se už Doležal setkal s potravinovým ombudsmanem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 450 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we move beyond the title of Senate Republican Leader and examine the qualities Bob Dole brought to the job — both as Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States Senate.Leadership in the Senate is unlike leadership anywhere else in American government. It requires patience, discipline, persuasion, timing, and above all, the ability to manage strong personalities while navigating constantly shifting political realities.This episode explores the leadership characteristics that defined Dole's approach and helped him become one of the most respected congressional leaders of his generation.Among the traits examined:• His sharp political instincts and tactical discipline • His mastery of Senate procedure and legislative strategy • His ability to negotiate and build coalitions • His use of humor and wit as political tools • His loyalty to the institution of the Senate itself • His balancing act between ideology and practical governanceWhether serving in the majority or the minority, Dole understood that Senate leadership required flexibility as much as conviction. He could be partisan when necessary, bipartisan when possible, and pragmatic when governing demanded it.The episode also reflects on how Dole's wartime experiences, personal resilience, and years in public service shaped his leadership style — giving him both toughness and perspective in moments of conflict and crisis.This is a portrait of leadership not built on charisma alone, but on preparation, endurance, and understanding how power actually works inside the Senate.A leader of strategy. A leader of relationships. And a leader shaped by both ambition and experience.

More than a title, Senate leadership demanded strategy, negotiation, discipline, coalition-building, and the ability to manage competing personalities and priorities within the Republican conference.In this episode, we explore:• The political circumstances surrounding Dole's rise to leadership • The internal dynamics of the Senate Republican caucus • How Dole earned the trust and support of fellow senators • The leadership qualities that defined his approach • The challenges of balancing ideology, governance, and party unityAs Republican Leader, Dole became more than a senator from Kansas — he became one of the central figures in national politics and a key architect of Senate Republican strategy during the Reagan era and beyond.This episode marks the beginning of a new chapter:From legislator… to strategist… to leader.And in the process, we begin to see the qualities that made Bob Dole one of the most consequential Senate leaders of his generation.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 448 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 29)Feeding Children All Around the World with Senator George McGovernIn Episode 448 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we explore one of the most remarkable bipartisan partnerships in modern American political history — Bob Dole's work with former Senator George McGovern to combat hunger and feed children around the world.Though they stood on opposite sides of the political spectrum — and had once represented very different visions for America — Dole and McGovern forged a friendship and working relationship rooted in shared humanity and a belief that fighting hunger should rise above politics.Together, they became leading advocates for international food assistance programs and school nutrition initiatives designed to help children in some of the poorest regions of the world. Their efforts would eventually contribute to programs that provided meals, hope, and opportunity to millions.This episode explores:• How the unlikely partnership between Dole and McGovern developed • Their shared commitment to fighting hunger and malnutrition • The creation and expansion of international school feeding programs • How bipartisan cooperation made these efforts possible • The personal respect and friendship that grew between the two senatorsAt a time when politics is often defined by division, the story of Bob Dole and George McGovern stands as a reminder that public service can still be guided by compassion, common purpose, and the willingness to work across ideological lines.This is not a story about campaigns or elections.It is a story about feeding children. About finding common ground. And about two former political rivals who chose to leave the world better than they found it.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Ilihia Gionson as guest to the show.   About Ilihia Gionson, 2021 Dole Caregiver Fellow, Hawaii:   In Hawaiʻi, caring for the elderly is part of the native culture. So when it was time for Ilihia to care for his father Anthony, he naturally stepped into the caregiver role.   Anthony was born in Hawaiʻi in 1947 and served in Vietnam in 1966 when he was 19. His time in Vietnam, with a climate and people who reminded him of home, was one of a series of transformational moments for him. Hawaiʻi had only recently become an American state, and he returned home to a mother close to the end of her life. In the decades following his return, he worked very hard for his family, including being a caregiver to his wife with a genetic kidney disorder and another son with an intellectual disability. Ilihia believes his tireless work ethic was his father's coping mechanism for dealing with the invisible wounds of war. It was not until after Ilihia's mother and brother passed away that Anthony transformed from the caregiver to the care recipient. Ilihia learned about his father's post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when his father started going to grief counseling sessions and began unpacking his invisible wounds resulting from his service.   Anthony lives with Ilihia, his partner and their daughter, who all help care for him. As his father's primary caregiver, Ilihia manages his appointments and medications, performs household chores, and listens to his father when he needs to talk. Anthony's PTSD and anxiety make it difficult for him to participate in group activities, so Ilihia works hard to get his father out of the house, including getting him to the proper medical care and therapy.   Ilihia is the Chief Public Affairs Officer of the W. M. Keck Observatory. As a fellow, he hopes to help other veterans and caregivers in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific who struggle with access to VA resources. He also hopes that by sharing his story, he will help other caregivers self-identify and seek out support.   About the Elizabeth Dole Foundation:   The Elizabeth Dole Foundation is the preeminent organization empowering, supporting, and honoring our nation's 14.3 million military and veteran caregivers—the spouses, parents, family members, and friends who care for America's wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 447 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 28)Saving Social SecurityIn Episode 447 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine one of the most important bipartisan legislative efforts of the modern era — the fight to preserve and stabilize Social Security during the early 1980s.At a time when the Social Security system faced a looming financial crisis and fears grew that the government could soon be unable to meet its obligations, Washington was forced into difficult negotiations with enormous political stakes.This episode explores the effort to “save Social Security” — and the central role Bob Dole played in navigating one of the most sensitive and consequential policy debates of his Senate career.Working alongside President Ronald Reagan, congressional leaders, and members of both parties, Dole became a key figure in the negotiations that ultimately produced a compromise designed to strengthen the program's long-term stability.In this episode, we explore:• The financial crisis facing Social Security in the early 1980s • The political risks surrounding reform efforts • Bob Dole's role in the negotiations and legislative strategy • The bipartisan cooperation required to reach an agreement • How the reforms reshaped Social Security for future generationsThis is a story not just about policy, but about governing — the challenge of balancing political reality with fiscal responsibility while dealing with one of the most important programs in American life.In an era often remembered for ideological battles, the Social Security compromise stood as a reminder that major legislation still required negotiation, trust, and compromise.A system on the brink. A Senate forced to act. And Bob Dole at the center of one of Washington's defining bipartisan moments.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 446 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 27)Ronald Reagan and Bob DoleIn Episode 446 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we take a closer look at one of the defining relationships of the 1980s — Dole's partnership with Ronald Reagan.Moving beyond policy and legislation, this episode explores the personal and professional dynamic between two very different leaders who nevertheless worked together to shape an era. Dole, the disciplined Senate tactician, and Reagan, the communicator-in-chief, formed a relationship grounded in mutual respect, political necessity, and a shared sense of purpose.Through firsthand reflections and recollections, we also hear from fellow senators who worked alongside Reagan — offering a portrait of a president who inspired not just loyalty, but genuine affection.In this episode, they reflect on:• What it was like to work directly with Ronald Reagan • How Reagan built relationships across the Senate • The balance between leadership, delegation, and persuasion • The personal side of Reagan — including his well-known love of humor and storytellingThe tone is unmistakable: admiration, respect, and, in many cases, fondness.These are not just political recollections — they are personal memories. Stories of conversations, moments of levity, and the kind of human connection that often goes unseen in the historical record.At a time when leadership required both vision and relationships, Reagan left a lasting impression on those who served with him.And through Bob Dole's experience — and the voices of his colleagues — we see why.A president remembered not just for policy… but for presence, personality… and the ability to bring people together.

It's been two weeks since the city of Minneapolis opened applications for emergency rent relief. The fund was created after some immigrant families couldn't pay rent, because they were too scared to leave their homes and go to work during Operation Metro Surge. The $2 million rent relief fund is being administered through Hennepin County, along with three partner organizations. And we're going to check in on the progress of the program. Will Lehman is the area manager of homelessness prevention for Hennepin County and Jackie Pérez, vice president of programs at CLUES, Minnesota's largest Latino-led nonprofit organization, and a community partner organization helping disperse rent relief funding.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 445 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 26)The 1981 Tax Bill, TEFRA, and Ronald ReaganIn Episode 445 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine one of the most consequential policy chapters of the early 1980s — and one that placed Dole at the center of economic policymaking in Washington.This episode focuses on two landmark pieces of legislation:• The sweeping 1981 tax cuts championed by Ronald Reagan — a cornerstone of the Reagan economic program that aimed to stimulate growth and reshape the federal tax system • And the follow-up legislation, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA), designed to close loopholes and address the fiscal challenges that emerged in the wake of those cutsAs Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Bob Dole played a critical and often underappreciated role in navigating both efforts — balancing ideological goals with the practical realities of governing.This episode explores:• How the 1981 tax bill was crafted and passed • The economic and political consequences that followed • Why TEFRA became necessary just one year later • The tension between tax reduction and fiscal responsibility • The working relationship between Dole and President Reagan — cooperation, negotiation, and occasional frictionAt the heart of the story is a fundamental question: how do you govern when policy goals collide with fiscal reality?Through these debates, we see Bob Dole not just as a political figure, but as a legislative strategist — working within the system to make ambitious policy function in the real world.From bold tax cuts… to difficult corrections… and a partnership that helped define an era.This is the story of policy, power, and pragmatism in the early Reagan years.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 444 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 25)Mr. Chairman!! The Finance Committee ChairIn Episode 444 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we arrive at a defining moment in his rise to power in the United States Senate — his elevation to Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee.For years, that gavel had been held by Russell B. Long, one of the most influential figures in the Senate and a master of its internal workings. His tenure symbolized an era when seniority and institutional control defined leadership.But with the arrival of the Reagan era, the ground beneath Washington began to shift.As the political realignment of Ronald Reagan took hold, Bob Dole stepped into the chairmanship — marking not just a personal milestone, but a broader transition in power, policy, and direction.One moment captures it all.When the new chairman was called upon for his vote — for the first time, that chairman was Bob Dole. And in a telling, almost poetic gesture, Russell Long himself responded “aye,” acknowledging both the change in leadership and the passing of an era.In this episode, we explore:• How Dole rose to claim one of the most powerful positions in the Senate • The significance of the Finance Committee in shaping national policy • The transition from Russell Long's leadership to Dole's • What this moment revealed about the changing nature of Washington in the early 1980s • How the Reagan Revolution reshaped both policy and power inside the SenateThis is more than a change in chairmanship — it is a moment of transformation.From Long to Dole… from one era to another… and from the old Senate to a new political age.

Kanael Godde is an elite bike trials rider from France - and the man who built the UCI World Cup round in Dole almost entirely from scratch, funded by private sponsors, and organised largely by himself. In this episode of The Shin Dig Podcast, Kanael breaks down exactly how you take a city with no trials scene and turn it into a World Cup host. We go deep on the full budget, sourcing obstacles from quarries, the 3am gate-setting sessions when nobody was answering his calls, and the €1,000 the city contributed to an €80,000 event.If you've ever wondered what actually goes into putting on a trials competition - this is the honest, unglamorous, completely fascinating answer.Dole World Cup - Round 1

Send us Fan MailEpisode 443 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 24)The 1980 Republican Presidential PrimaryIn Episode 443 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we turn to one of the most pivotal — and ultimately disappointing — chapters in his political journey: his campaign for President in 1980.Viewed through the lens of Dole's candidacy, this episode offers a revealing look at a Republican Party in transition — searching for direction in the aftermath of the 1970s and on the brink of a conservative realignment.At the center of that transformation stood Ronald Reagan, whose vision and political momentum would come to define the era. Alongside him was George H. W. Bush, representing a different wing of the party and mounting a formidable campaign of his own.Caught between these two rising forces, Dole's campaign struggled to find its footing.This episode assesses:• Why Dole entered the race — and what he hoped to achieve • The challenges he faced in a rapidly shifting political environment • His relationships with Reagan and Bush — both as rivals and future allies • The strategic and structural weaknesses that hindered his campaign • How the outcome reshaped Dole's future in national politicsThough his presidential bid fell short, the campaign itself provides valuable insight into Dole's political identity — pragmatic, disciplined, and deeply rooted in the Senate — and highlights the difficulty of translating that identity into a national movement during a time of ideological change.More broadly, this episode captures a turning point in Republican politics:A party moving toward Reagan… a field adjusting to that reality… and a candidate in Bob Dole, whose moment had not yet arrived.A campaign that didn't succeed — but still helped define the path forward.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 442 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 23)The Senate (F): The United States Supreme Court FightsIn Episode 442 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine one of the most contentious and consequential arenas of the United States Senate — the confirmation battles over the Supreme Court.This episode traces the evolution of those fights across the Dole era, beginning just before he entered the Senate with the failed nomination of Abe Fortas — a turning point that signaled a new level of scrutiny and political conflict in the confirmation process.From there, we move through a series of increasingly high-stakes battles:• The nominations of Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell • The explosive and precedent-setting fight over Robert Bork • And the deeply divisive confirmation of Clarence ThomasCentral to this story — and featured throughout the episode — is Strom Thurmond, a dominant figure on the Senate Judiciary Committee and a key player in shaping the outcomes and tone of these battles.Together, these confirmation fights transformed the Senate's constitutional role of “advice and consent,” turning what had often been a more restrained process into one of the most visible and politically charged responsibilities of the chamber.In this episode, we explore:• How and why confirmation battles became more contentious • The growing role of ideology, media, and public pressure • The strategies used by both supporters and opponents of nominees • The long-term impact on judicial confirmations at every levelThis is the story of how Supreme Court nominations became political battlegrounds — and how the Senate was changed in the process.From Fortas to Thomas… a transformation of power, process, and precedent.

Host: Tom Angus, Director of Conferences, Decarb ConnectGuest: Oskar Schortz, Co-Founder & CCO, GyroPlant In partnership with Urban Future Lab Every hydroponic farm in the world depends on growing substrates - the rockwool, coco coir, or peat that plants grow in and almost all of it ends up in landfill after a single use. It's a supply chain problem hiding in plain sight, embedded in one of the world's most critical industrial sectors.  In this episode of our mini-series in collaboration with Urban Future Lab, Tom is joined by Oskar Schortz is the Co-Founder and CCO of GyroPlant. They discuss how a small UK deep tech company is engineering its way out of that problem entirely, and what it means for the carbon footprint of controlled environment agriculture at commercial scale. GyroPlant, a materials and systems innovation company that has developed the GyroCup — a reusable, food-grade silicone growing vessel designed to last up to 10 years and replace disposable substrates across hydroponic and vertical farming operations. They're working with over 200 companies across multiple continents, including a formal Innovate UK project with Dole plc, and has participated in trade missions to Singapore and the UAE through Innovate UK's Global Incubator Programme.  What you'll take away:Understand what controlled environment agriculture actually is, and why GyroPlant is best understood as a materials and systems company rather than a farming or food businessWhy GyroPlant pivoted from designing whole growing systems to focusing specifically on the substrate problem and what they saw on farms that made that the priorityWhat substrates are, why every hydroponic farm currently depends on them, and why they represent a major sustainability liability in the food production supply chainHow the GyroCup works in practice and what the switchover from single-use growing media actually looks like for a commercial farmWhere the claimed 90% carbon saving versus the next best substrate option actually comes from - manufacturing, shipping, waste disposal, or all threeHow aware large food businesses are of the carbon footprint inside their growing media and whether they're being asked to account for itWhether the indoor farming sector's recent high-profile collapses create headwinds for GyroPlant or whether they actually accelerate demand as farms look to cut costsThe single most important environmental cost that large-scale growers are probably not measuring right nowShow Links:Connect with Oskar Schortz, CCO & Co-Founder of GyroPlantVisit the GyroPlant website to find out moreFollow GyroPlant on LinkedInOur strategic partner, Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon, is a non-profit innovation hub for best-in-class climatetech startups with a focus on clean energy and sustainable urban infrastructure solutions. Check out other episodes of the Decarb Connect podcast and suggest a future guest.Connect with Tom Angus, Director of Conferences of Decarb ConnectLearn more about Decarb ConnectOur global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 437 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There The Senate (A): A Mosaic of the SenateIn Episode 437 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we shift our focus from the campaign trail to the institution that would define much of his public life — the United States Senate.This episode explores the Senate of the 1970s as Dole began his rise within its ranks — a chamber shaped by powerful personalities, unwritten rules, and a very different pace of politics than what we see today.In the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, the Senate was undergoing change, yet it remained a place where relationships, negotiation, and institutional knowledge carried enormous weight. Seniority mattered. Committee work mattered. And above all, the ability to navigate the personalities within the chamber mattered.We examine what made this era of the Senate unique:• How the Senate functioned day-to-day in the 1970s • The culture of collegiality and conflict within the chamber • The leadership structure and how influence was built • The environment that allowed Bob Dole to emerge as a key Republican voiceThis is a portrait — a mosaic — of a Senate that no longer quite exists, but whose traditions and dynamics shaped generations of American leadership.Before Bob Dole became a national figure, he became a Senate figure. And to understand his rise, you have to understand the Senate he entered.

THE TOWNSEND PLAN AND THE BREAK WITH FATHER COUGHLIN Colleague David Pietrusza. Francis Townsend proposes a popular plan to give the elderly $200 a month, pressuring Roosevelt—who disliked the "dole"—to introduce Social Security. Meanwhile, the radio priest Father Coughlin turns against FDR after feeling brushed off by the administration. Coughlin joins forces with Townsend and Gerald L.K. Smith to form a third-party challenge. A tense six-hour meeting at Hyde Park between Roosevelt and Coughlin, arranged by Joseph Kennedy, fails to repair the relationship. Consequently, Coughlin uses his massive radio platform to wage war against the President during the election season. NUMBER 31936 HUNGARY
