Podcast appearances and mentions of george schultz

Max Boot, a Washington Post columnist and author, discusses his decade-long journey researching and writing Reagan: His Life and Legend.Through extensive archival research and interviews with nearly 100 people who knew Reagan, including Colin Powell and George Schultz, Boot reveals a more pragmatic president than commonly portrayed. The conversation explores Reagan's ability to compromise on issues like immigration and nuclear arms, his development as a communicator across different media, and Boot's personal experience undertaking a 10-year writing project. As a Soviet-born writer who later became an independent after leaving the Republican party, Boot offers unique insights into Reagan's presidency and legacy.EPISODE LINKS:Reagan: His Life and Legend: https://amzn.to/435hD8UOUTLINE:0:00 - Introduction1:27 - Publicity1:56 - Why Reagan?3:49 - Pragmatism4:43 - Soviet Union6:31 - 10-Year Commitment11:01 - Reagan's Charisma13:37 - Compromises16:11 - Future17:50 - Advice for young people16:11 - Future19:06 - Closing WordsJoin The UIUC Talkshow Community!Become part of our community and unlock exclusive access to the latest episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and special updates.

"Send us a Fan Mail Text Message"Picture a young girl plotting to become a billionaire before most of us finished our long division homework. From sketching time machines to acing a Stanford-level Mandarin class while still in high school, Elizabeth Holmes was never your average student. Her early entrepreneurial spirit was rivaled only by her relentless drive, fueled by an insatiable curiosity and competitive streak. We trace Holmes' journey from these formative experiences to her college days, where a dislike for needles sparked a groundbreaking idea—Theranos, the company that was supposed to revolutionize healthcare with its lab-on-a-chip technology.Have you ever wondered how someone could convince George Schultz and Henry Kissinger to back a company that ultimately unraveled under scrutiny? That's exactly what Holmes did, and we explore how she managed to amass such influential supporters, despite the looming controversies and the precarious "fake it till you make it" culture of Silicon Valley. From her billionaire lifestyle to the pressures faced by rising entrepreneurs, we discuss Holmes' rise and fall with humor and skepticism, leaving no stone unturned in this captivating tale of ambition, innovation, and deception. So, join us in "The Old Dirty Basement" and keep an eye out for more thrilling insights in our future episodes.Support the showSounds:https://freesound.org/people/frodeims/sounds/666222/ Door openinghttps://freesound.org/people/Sami_Hiltunen/sounds/527187/ Eerie intro music https://freesound.org/people/jack126guy/sounds/361346/ Slot machinehttps://freesound.org/people/Zott820/sounds/209578/ Cash registerhttps://freesound.org/people/Exchanger/sounds/415504/ Fun Facts Jingle Thanks to The Tsunami Experiment for the theme music!!Check them out hereSUPPORT US AT https://www.buzzsprout.com/1984311/supporters/newMERCH STORE https://ol-dirty-basement.creator-spring.comFind us at the following https://oldirtybasement.buzzsprout.com WEBSITE ...

On the morning of October 31, 1933, a gunman burst through the door of Bessie Darling's home in Foxville, Maryland and shot the woman to death. Police quickly arrested George Schultz, Darling's boyfriend and business partner, who'd unsuccessfully attempted suicide after shooting Bessie. George confessed to the murder, claiming his actions were motivated by jealousy and a fear that Bessie was seeing other men, and he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison.In many ways, the story of Bessie Darling's murder is a straightforward and unfortunately common story of domestic violence. Yet beneath the basic facts of the case is another story of rural development and economic inequality at a time when many in the nation were facing serious economic struggles. These aspects of the story, mostly ignored by the press, shaped how Bessie was portrayed by the media and how people have told and retold her story since her death.Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1933.

This week on Sinica, I speak with veteran China analysts Thomas Fingar and David M. Lampton — Mike Lampton — about a paper they published in the Winter 2024 edition of the Washington Quarterly. It's an excellent overview of how and why the bilateral relationship took such a bad turn roughly 15 years ago, citing mistakes both sides made and the reasons why China shifted around that time from one of its two basic behavioral modes — more open, tolerant, and simpatico in its foreign policy — to the other mode, which is both more internally repressive and externally assertive.Thomas Fingar is Shorenstein APARC Fellow in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. He was Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research. He served as the first deputy director of national intelligence for analysis and as chairman of the National Intelligence Council — and he's the author of many books, including most recently From Mandate to Blueprint: Lessons from Intelligence Reform.Mike Lampton is Professor Emeritus and former Hyman Professor and Director of SAIS-China and China Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and Senior Research Fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute. Mike was also formerly President of the National Committee on United States-China Relations.05:04 – The problem with the use of the term "autocracy" to describe China's system09:18 – Analysis of the motivation behind China's actions, questioning the assumption that all decisions are solely for perpetuating the Communist Party's power.10:25 – Rethinking Xi Jinping's personal influence over China's policy decisions: the checks on his power within the Chinese political system.15:58 – Critique of deterministic theories in political science regarding state behavior, particularly concerning China's foreign policy and domestic policy actions.19:13 – The importance of avoiding oversimplified and deterministic explanations for Chinese behavior on the global stage.23:43 – Discussion on the perception of China as an unstoppable juggernaut and the consequences of such a view for international relations and domestic policies in the U.S.24:41 – Analysis of the notion that China seeks to recreate an imperial tribute system in its foreign relations and regional strategy.28:09 – Introduction of the concept of two strategic constellations that have historically guided China's policy focus: national/regime security and economic/social development.33:11 – Exploration of factors leading to China's shift from prioritizing economic and social development to focusing more on national and regime security.37:38 – Examination of the internal and external dynamics contributing to China's policy shifts and the impact of globalization on societal and political tensions.48:47 – Reflection on the post-9/11 period as a time of relatively smooth U.S.-China relations and speculation on the role of international crises in shaping bilateral dynamics.52:59 – Discussion on the challenges and opportunities for the U.S. and China to adjust their policies and rhetoric to manage tensions and avoid further exacerbating the bilateral relationship.Recommendations: Tom: The novels of Mick Herron (author of Slow Horses); the novels of Alan Furst, including Night Soldiers and The Polish Officer.Mike: Philip Taubman, In the Nation's Service (a biography of George Schultz); and Liz Cheney, Oath and HonorKaiser: The Magician, by Colm Tóibín — an unconventional novelized biography of Thomas MannSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Journalist Ken Auletta joins Tim to talk about the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos from the perspective as the reporter who helped introduce the woman and the company to the world.  In December 2014, Ken was one of the first to conduct in-depth interviews with all of the major players at Theranos and their booming start-up company. Little did he or anyone know at the time how the Theranos story would unfold.  Ken talks about his coverage of Elizabeth Holmes in The New Yorker and the story that unfolded. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Ken_Auletta_-_Theranos_auphonic.mp3 If you were to conduct an Internet search of Elizabeth Holmes today, you'd learn that one of the terms that often accompanies the 39-year-old's name is “disgraced Theranos CEO.” This is the result of the story we are about to tell. At the moment, she is appealing her federal conviction for fraud that was committed while she led Theranos, that had promised a revolutionary new way to conduct the full range of blood tests. Her story gave us a glimpse as to some of the inner workings of Silicon Valley. Homes now has to serve an 11-year prison sentence because a jury found her guilty of four counts of fraud and conspiracy against company investors. They believed in her promise to change the way blood could be collected and tested, and in turn, transform healthcare. That's where we are now. But the story started almost 20 years ago when Holmes dropped out of Stanford University. She was only 19 years old then. She left Stanford to start Theranos. Almost from the start, the company had attracted lots of money from some extremely influential investors. Holmes herself had the kind of magnetism the media likes. She was young and smart. She was a really effective speaker and salesperson. And she seemed to have a sense of personal branding long before that became a thing. She patterned herself after Apple founder and tech pioneer Steve Jobs. She wore black turtlenecks, almost exclusively. She adopted a slow, deliberate and deep speaking style that at times was almost hypnotic. She created a media persona that had others characterizing her as the female Steve Jobs. This was no coincidence, of course. It was all calculated. She was rewarded with an avalanche of positive media coverage. Elizabeth Holmes graced just about every major business magazine cover. She was billed as “the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire.” She was said to be worth $4.5 billion. Her company – Theranos – at its peak, was valued at $10 billion. Some of its well-known investors were Larry Ellison, who founded Oracle Corporation, and media titan Rupert Murdoch. Her advisors and board of directors were the stuff of envy for any company. Names like Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State. John Mattis, the decorated and now retired U.S. Marine general. George Schultz, another revered former U.S. Secretary of State. William Perry, a former U.S. Secretary of Defense, and others. So, how could a company so well positioned for success fail? And not only fail, but for the reasons it did? One person who's given these questions more thought than most is journalist Ken Auletta. He wrote one of the most comprehensive stories about Homes for The New Yorker in December 2014.

Si bien que se retrouver avec soi-même pour seul compagnie est synonyme d'angoisse. Pourtant, dans les années 1980, un certain George Schultz trouvait une méthode dont on pourrait bien s'inspirer aujourd'hui : la “Schultz hour” ou “heure Schultz”. Qui est George Schultz ?

Episode 33 is a unique podcast in that our main interviewee is a unique individual. Mike represents the transition from Viet Nam to Stateside. Mike has experienced the strong need to get to Viet Nam to fight with his comrades-in-arms and the disappointment of being denied that opportunity. And the experiences Mike has since his time in the Corps is also relatively unique in that he has stayed in very close contact with the Marine Corps through the Marine Corps League. In the city in which he resides he has had opportunities that are rare even for non-military persons. For example, he has been in close contact with such noteworthy people as George Schultz, former Secretary of State, Dianne Feinstein, current California US Senator, and Jackie Speier, current US Congresswoman. You will hear that and much more in this long podcast. It is well worth your time to listen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/francis-remkiewicz/message

In Part 3 of the celebration of the life of George Shultz, we look back at one of the singular, major events of the Cold War in which George Shultz was a major participant.  For a couple of days in October of 1986, four men met and changed the direction of the world. The two leaders President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and their two chief diplomatic aids Eduard Shevardnadze and George Shultz met to have discussion about Arms Control. It was hastily called and had no real big agenda in place. It turned out to have a really big agenda.It saw the two leaders of the two Nuclear Super Powers start negotiating way out in front of where the career diplomats actually were and it was then and there that Gorbachev offered up the biggest most sweeping arms control proposal ever offered up in the history of negotiations. But Ronald Reagan turned it down to protect his Strategic Defense Initiative, basically a missile defense shield from outer space, often derided as a "Star Wars" pipe dream. Reykjavik was widely criticized and seen as a failure at the time, but it was where the groundwork was laid for the end of the Cold War and all the breakthroughs to come. Eventually the Soviet Union would be dissolved, the Berlin Wall would fall and the last act of Mikhail Gorbachev as the Premier of the Soviet Union, on Christmas Eve 1991, would be to call President Ronald Reagan's successor George H.W. Bush to tell him of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. And it all began at the Höfôi House in Reykjavik , Iceland. We relive that summit here in Part 3 of the look back at the remarkable life of George Shultz. 

In this second part in our celebration of the life of George Shultz,  we look at his many wise thoughts on the problems our country and world face today, and how he felt they needed to be addressed. He tells stories from his time in public office as both a cabinet member,  an education leader, and his career in the private sector. There is a lot to learn and a lot we can all be thankful he shared with us through his writings and interviews.  This is George Shultz unfiltered, with little commentary, in his own words. It was a remarkable , long  life, extraordinarily well lived. 

"He was a gentleman of honor and ideas, dedicated to public service and respectful debate, even into his 100th year on Earth. That's why multiple presidents, of both political parties, sought his counsel. I regret that, as president, I will not be able to benefit from his wisdom, as have so many of my predecessors." - President Joe BidenGeorge Shultz died on February 6, 2021 at the age of 100. He lived an extraordinary life, advising many Presidents and political figures and serving in four cabinet positions, something only one other person in history has done. Over the next 3 episodes, we look at this remarkable man who is one of my  political heroes. Here in part one, we look at his service to two of America's greatest chief executives ; Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.  As Nixon's Secretary of Labor, Office of Management and Budget and Treasury, He helped guide Nixon's work dealing with labor  and civil rights issues. He played a strong hand in developing the Philadelphia Plan and in desegregating the southern Public School System, a challenge Nixon undertook two decades after the Brown vs the Board of Education Supreme Court Decision had actually been made. It was Richard Nixon not Dwight Eisenhower, nor John F. Kennedy, nor Lyndon B. Johnson who actually made sure it became a reality, and it was George Shultz who made it happen. He tells that story here. This episode also goes through many of the major events of the Reagan years where as Reagan's chief diplomat, George Shultz helped shepherd the end of the Cold War. We have two more parts to the George Shultz remembrance scheduled they are :Part 2 "The Wisdom of the man"&Part 3 " Reagan at Reykjavik" 

O 40º Presidente dos Estados Unidos começou o seu mandato há 40 anos. E teria feito 110 anos no passado dia 7. George Schultz, que o ajudou a mudar o mundo, morreu esta semana. Vale a pena recordá-los. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Henry Kissinger. George Schultz. James Mattis. William Perry. David Boies. What do these men have in common — besides being war criminals or attorneys representing war criminals? They all invested millions of dollars in a Silicon Valley start-up called Theranos. Unfortunately for them, the company once worth $9 billion dissolved in 2018 amid fraud investigations. Founder Elizabeth Holmes is set to face trial in 2021 for her role in this fraud. But who is Elizabeth Holmes, and how did a 19-year-old Stanford dropout become the face of Silicon Valley grifts?

Like so many things this year, Easter Jeep Safari was canceled, but it was one of the first things off the list for off-roaders. We caught up with George Schultz, a member of the Red Rock Four Wheelers to talk, not only about EJS, but also about trail building in Moab. As a second-generation wheeler in Moab and part of the founding families, it’s a little bit different perspective.

The record books are going to have an ** next to 2020 as we continue to work through the off-road cancellations.

The most comprehensive bi-partisan measure ever proposed in the United States Congress is also the one attracting broad bi-partisan support (it also takes a big step toward dealing with income/wealth disparity!). The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act (Aka Baker Schultz Carbon Dividend Act) HR 763 is gathering steam and support from across the political spectrum. A fascinating market-based solution that even carbon-based energy companies are starting to get behind. Real change may be on the horizon. Bucky Fuller would have loved this one!

The best financial decision that David has ever made was to acknowledge that taxes are going to be dramatically higher in the future than they are today. David is a husband and father of seven and has been in the financial services industry since day one. He was selling insurance policies at the beginning of his career and became an independent financial advisor in 2001. David mainly deals with clients who are retiring or in retirement and focuses in particular on the tax outlook. He aims to maximize the amount of money his clients can take out in retirement. David's organization has about 160 advisors across the country. He self published The Power of Zero four years ago and sold around 150,000 copies, since then this lead to this movement around the concepts in the book. There are now quite a few advisors teaching courses to retirees all over the US. David describes the current environment as a tax sale. You're going to have to pay taxes sooner or later, so why not pay them before they go up. It takes an act of Congress to prevent a sunset clause from happening. In order for that to happen, the same party has to control the Senate, the House, and the Presidency. $0.76 of every tax dollar that the government brings in is spent on four things: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the national debt. We are going to have to keep borrowing money to pay for Medicare. The cost for servicing all that debt will squeeze out all the other items in the budget. George Schultz says we are already at the crisis point. We haven't had taxes this low in the last 80 years. You can't pay attention to just the number, you have to look at the income parameters that go with it. The real question for 75 million Baby Boomers is “will they take advantage of this tax sale?” Every year that goes by where they don't consider shifting money to a tax free investment, they are missing an opportunity that will never come back.  The IRS says that if you make too much money, you can put after tax dollars into an IRA and in the same breath convert it into a Roth IRA. Since you have to pay the tax on the conversion relative to your other investments it can feel like a double tax. If you have money in other IRA's it may not be a great idea to do the Back Door IRA.  The rich man's Roth is also known as the Life Insurance Retirement Plan. You buy as little insurance as the IRS requires of you and stuff as much money in it as the IRS allows to mimic the tax free benefits of the Roth IRA.  Most Baby Boomers are dealing with a parent that is having a long term care event. There are a lot of long term care benefits that can make the Life Insurance Retirement Plan attractive to the right person.  You can make your 401(k) tax free if you only take out your standard deduction. The best investment you can make is making the balance low enough so that your Required Minimum Distributions are low enough so that your they are equal to or lower than your standard deduction.  The holy grail of financial planning is to find an investment that gives you a deduction on the front end, grows your money tax deferred, and you take it out tax free. If you have an IRA that's so big that your required minimum distributions are dramatically higher than $24,000, you're going to be in a tax bracket and it's not going to be 0%.  According to David Walker tax rates are going to have to double in order to keep our country solid. If that's true, the best tax bracket to be in is the 0% tax bracket. If tax rates double, two times zero is still zero.  Everyone recognizes that tax rates are going up in the future, the question is “why are we still putting money hand over fist into 401(k)'s and IRA's?” The reason is we are addicted to the tax deduction.  The true purpose of a retirement account is not to get a tax deduction. It's to maximize cash flow at a period in your life when you can least afford to pay the taxes. That's the real value of a retirement account.  If you feel like your tax rate is going to be higher than it is now, you should stretch your tax liability out over 8 years. You want to shift the money quickly enough to do all the heavy lifting before the tax freight train hits but slowly enough that you don't rise into a tax bracket that makes you uncomfortable.  If you are in a position to manipulate revenue and be okay with your living standard, at the very least you should be maxing out your 10% and 12% tax bracket.  You may not think that tax rates will double, but if your spouse dies your tax bracket doubles anyway.  David's clients will take advantage of these tax rates but ultimately, the tax breaks were irresponsible to make. Every other country in the world is getting their fiscal house in order other than the US.  David's worst financial decision was to buy a nice car, move to Puerto Rico, and then selling it only one year later. Cars typically make lousy investments.

Before I provide you with some tips for how to highlight all the wonderful things your organization is doing, allow me to introduce myself!   Hi! I'm Lisa Clark and I help nonprofits and fundraisers like YOU raise money through events so you can meet your annual revenue goals! I'm also the host of a free Facebook Group, Raising with Lisa Clark, a free group for fundraisers, NPOs, development team members, volunteers, and supporters. I included a link below so you can request to join right away!   Link to Join Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/112148672944584/   Hosting an annual fundraising event at the same “Bat time” at the same “Bat place” can definitely cause donor and board fatigue.  Right! You might be on year five of the event and perhaps attendance is going down? Or, you just don’t see the spark in your guests when you ask them “Hey, are you coming again this year?”  They reply, “Maybe???” Your staff might be a little bored, too.   Before I get into how to make your programs and services a integral part of your event, I want to make sure you’ve picked up my FREE mini checklist on how to create a pipeline of new donors for your next big fundraiser.  If you haven’t already grabbed it, the link will be provided below. My FREE checklist will definitely help to create a pipeline of new funding so check it out. Speaking of which, your annual fundraiser likely provides some decent funding to your annual campaign.  But, year after year, staff and donors and even the board can grow a little tired of the same thing. Does this mean you should change the venue and change the theme.  Not necessarily. I’m going to give you a few reasons that warrant you changing the venue and the theme AND give you a few reasons you need to stay put! But first, I want to share a story with you about how an annual golf tournament hosted at the same time and same place worked for over 20 years and is still going strong to this day.   While working at Stanford University, Athletic Development, I helped to organize an annual golf tournament called, The Shultz Cup.”   The tournament was aimed at raising money for the Men and Women’s Golf program. A Golf Tournament is a perfect example of a theme you really can’t change.  This was the daily agenda for the golf tournament:   1). Checkin 2). Meet and mingle with guests 3). Lunch 4). Pledge of Allegiance 5). Tee Off 6). Cocktail Reception 7). Welcome and State of the Union by George Schultz 8).  Dinner and dessert 9).  End   Approximately 100 golfers every year.  Same men and women. Actually, over the years, more and more women participated.   That was nice to see.  This event wasn’t broken.  No need to change it at all.  It worked. No one complained.  Everyone looked forward to attending.  The ONLY thing that changed each year was the giveaway and the State of the Union Speech by former Secretary of State, George Shultz.  That’s it. Oh, and we switched back and forth from chicken to beef year after year! LOL! Now, here is an example of an event we decided to change up.  We hosted an event at a venue that had a capacity of 225 headcount.  We hosted a VIP cocktail reception followed by a cooking class with a celebrity chef followed by standing dinner and live auction. It was a huge success.  So much so that we sold out every year and basically, outgrew the venue. Good problem to have but we had to make a decision to find a new venue. We did this because we believed we were leaving money on the table.   It was also a challenge to find a celebrity chef year after year. We ended up moving forward with a different space. We were super nervous but it ended up being the right move. When we made the move, we elected to introduce a new them as well.     Reasons to Change it Up:   Capacity issue - you outgrow the venue. You see a drastic drop in attendance two years in a row. You see a drastic drop in funds being raised two years in a row. You break even year after year. You do an evaluation of expenses and realize it’s cheaper to go with a different venue and this change allows you the opportunity to possibly change up the theme, too.  This also allows you to announce to your supporters that a change in venue and theme will be more dollars raised for the organization!     Ok.
