Podcasts about Herbert Hoover

Donald Trumps Zollpolitik wird derzeit gern als erratisch bis irrsinnig beschrieben, aber es gibt ein historisches Vorbild. Schon einmal setzte die US-Regierung massiv auf Zölle: 1930 unterschrieb Präsident Herbert Hoover den Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, der Zölle auf Tausende Güter erhob und eine Kettenreaktion nach sich zog. Länder wie Mexiko, Frankreich, Großbritannien und Kanada vergelten den Protektionismus Amerikas mit Gegenzöllen. Hinzu kommt die herrschende Deflation. Die Große Depression macht sich breit. Die Weltwirtschaft schrumpft rapide, und auch Situation in den USA bessert sich keineswegs. Ursprünglich sollte der Smoot-Hawley Act vor allem Farmern zugutekommen, doch der Kampf um Mehrheiten führte dazu, dass immer mehr Güter mit Zöllen belegt werden sollten. Was damals von einzelnen Abgeordneten auf den Weg gebracht wurde, geschieht heute zentral gesteuert – durch Donald Trump im Oval Office. Es gibt noch weitere Unterschiede, aber die entscheidende Parallele liegt auf dem Feld der Geopolitik. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“!

Telsa earnings dropped 71% and the company announced a dismal financial forecast. As a result, Elon is reportedly scaling back the amount of time spent on DOGE and the Trump Administration. Then, Professor Corey Brettschneider is back to give sound legal advice on the history of the horrific Alien Enemies Act Trump is using to kidnap immigrants and in a win for freedom of the press - a federal jury ruling against Sarah Palin in her defamation lawsuit against the New York Times. Next, comedian, podcast host, author, and a staunch advocate for the resistance - Allison Gill returns to joke about the GOP and Trump's latest shenanigans.

Com a guerra comercial aberta por Donald Trump, analistas e economistas passaram a relembrar a grande crise vivida pelos EUA quase um século atrás. Em 1929, a quebra da bolsa de Nova York abriu portas para uma grande recessão em solo americano, que teria efeitos globais, tanto econômicos quanto geopolíticos. Na esteira do chamado “crack da bolsa”, o então presidente Herbert Hoover aprovou a lei Smoot-Hwaley, aumentando tarifas sobre produtos importados. A lei gerou uma série de retaliações e agravou a situação da economia dos EUA. Para explicar as semelhanças e as diferenças do que está em curso e do que aconteceu em 1930, Alan Severiano recebe o professor da USP Simão Davi Silber. Presidente do conselho-curador da Fipe, Silber relembra os efeitos da chamada “Grande Depressão”, quando 1 em cada 4 norte-americanos perderam o emprego e o PIB dos EUA caiu 25%. Ele fala ainda sobre como a crise moldou políticas econômicas de todo o mundo e as consequências geopolíticas um século atrás. Silber responde ainda o que aquele momento da história nos ensina e quais erros não podem ser repetidos.

Donald Trump schwingt den Zollhammer gegen fast die ganze Welt, holt ihn dann größtenteils wieder ein und kämpft stattdessen mit massiven Zöllen gegen China. Die "wirtschaftliche Kanonenbootpolitik" des US-Präsidenten wirkt aus einer anderen Zeit. Die Maßnahmen haben ein historisches Vorbild.Gast? Roland Peters, US-Korrespondent von ntv.deModeration?

The 1920s and the 2020s share a special kinship. One hundred years ago, the U.S. was grappling with a mix of growth, technological splendor, and generational anxiety—a familiar cocktail (albeit, from an era where cocktails were illegal). The era's young people felt uniquely besieged by global forces. “My whole generation is restless," F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in This Side of Paradise. “A new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." America was changing. And change always implies a kind of loss. We were moving toward cars and cities and manufacturing. And that meant we were moving away from horses and farmland and agriculture. And so, in 1930, just months into the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover signed a new piece of legislation to restore farmers to their previous glory. It was a great big tariff—the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. Rather than save the economy, it deepened the depression. Today, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff is one of the most infamous failures in the history of American politics. To suggest that it holds lessons for this moment in history is to state the obvious. Our guest is Douglas Irwin, an economist and historian at Dartmouth University and an expert on the economic debates of the Great Depression. We talk about the economic motivations of the Smoot-Hawley tariff, the congressional debates that shaped it, the president who signed it, and the legacy it left. We talk about the economic instinct to preserve the past—an instinct that has never gone away in American history—and the profound irony, that some efforts to return America to its former glory can have the unintended effect of robbing America of a richer future.

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump verandert sneller van mening dan ik columns kan schrijven. U leest nu de zoveelste versie van deze bijdrage. Er kwam telkens een nieuwe kanonnade maatregelen. Volgens de theorieboekjes was deze week een uitgelezen kans om in te stappen. Aandelen waren lekker gedaald en diverse indicatoren gaven aan dat een kortetermijnopleving van de koersen nabij was. Zo was bijvoorbeeld het beleggerssentiment erg slecht. De verwachtingen waren zeer somber, en dan is de kans op een meevaller het grootst. De beweeglijkheid (gemeten door de VIX-index) was extreem hoog, wat normaal gesproken ook een goede indicatie is om te kopen. Vergelijkbare periodes waren 1987, 2002, 2008, 2020 en 2023. In de eerdere gevallen greep de Federal Reserve in door de rente te verlagen. Het was de vraag of dat dit keer weer zou gebeuren. Immers, door de importheffingen gaat de inflatie omhoog. En het is de taak van de Fed om te hoge inflatie te bestrijden door de rente te verhogen en niet door te verlagen. Waarom ging Trump dan toch door de knieën? Mr. Market gaf duidelijk aan de importheffingen een slecht idee te vinden. Zakenbanken vielen over elkaar heen om hun economische verwachtingen neerwaarts bij te stellen. Normaal gesproken daalt in onzekere tijden de obligatierente en stijgt de dollar. Nu niet. Dat geeft aan dat beleggers twijfelden aan de stabiliteit van de VS. Vooral de Amerikaanse obligatiemarkt wordt gezien als het stabiele anker van de financiële wereld. Maar dat vertrouwen stond zodanig onder druk, dat dit anker dreigde los te slaan. In het verleden zagen we voorbeelden van regeringsleiders die niet naar Mr. Market luisterden. Denk aan de renteverlagingen van de Turkse president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, of het minibudget van voormalig Brits premier Liz Truss. Beiden moesten bakzeil halen. Het zijn historische monumenten van dom economisch beleid geworden. In de media werden al de eerste vergelijkingen met de jaren dertig gemaakt. Ook toen werden handelsheffingen opgelegd. Maar er is een groot verschil. De Amerikaanse president Herbert Hoover creëerde de crisis niet, hij reageerde fout op de situatie. Trump erfde juist een hele goede economie van zijn voorganger Joe Biden en dreigde die eigenhandig om zeep te helpen. Toch is er wel permanente schade aangericht. De extreem hoge heffingen voor Chinese importen staan nog steeds. Dat worden hele dure iPhones. En ook de overige tarieven van 10% voor de rest van de wereld zijn niet weg. Het dieptepunt van de markt is vaak het punt waarop beleggers hun laatste hoop verliezen, het beruchte ‘kotsmoment’. Kapitein Trump veroorzaakte zoveel deining dat veel veel beleggers al kotsend over de reling. hingen. Die fase is voorbij, maar bedenk dat de Amerikaanse economie wel permanente averij heeft opgelopen.

Ngày 02/04/2025, tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump thông báo áp hàng loạt mức thuế cao nhắm vào hàng hóa nhập khẩu vào Mỹ. Giới chuyên gia lo lắng biện pháp bảo hộ mậu dịch này của ông Trump có nguy cơ dẫn đến suy thoái kinh tế, giá cả tăng vọt, cũng như leo thang trả đũa lẫn nhau. Trong viễn cảnh này, liệu tổng thống Trump có đang lặp lại sai lầm của năm 1930 : Kinh tế Mỹ và thế giới suy sụp do đạo luật Smoot – Hawley gây ra ? Donald Trump ngày 15/10/2024 phát biểu : « Đối với tôi, từ ngữ hay nhất trong từ điển là thuế hải quan. Đó là những từ ngữ tôi thích nhất. Thuế hải quan càng cao, chúng ta càng có nhiều cơ may các doanh nghiệp đến lập cơ sở tại Mỹ để không phải bị trả thuế hải quan. Còn có một lý thuyết khác cho rằng thuế hải quan càng cao, càng khủng khiếp, càng tệ chừng nào, các doanh nghiệp càng đến lập cơ sở nhanh chừng ấy. Khi tôi thông báo mức thuế hải quan là 10%, chỉ có 10% thôi, con số này chiếm đến nhiều trăm triệu đô la. Tất cả những điều này là nhằm giảm mức thâm hụt cán cân thương mại của Mỹ ! »McKinley : Thần tượng của Donald Trump !Tổng thống Trump luôn tin rằng áp thuế hải quan có thể làm cho « Nước Mỹ giàu có » trở lại. Niềm tin này được thể hiện rõ qua việc ông hay viện dẫn William McKinley như một điển hình. Năm 1890, khi vẫn còn là dân biểu Hạ Viện, William McKinley (trở thành tổng thống năm 1897) đã cho thông qua đạo luật « McKinley Tariff Act » khắc nghiệt, áp thuế đến 50% giá trị hàng hóa nhập khẩu.Jean-Baptiste Velut, giáo sư trường đại học Sorbonne Nouvelle, chuyên gia về lịch sử kinh tế - chính trị Mỹ, trên đài phát thanh France Culture (28/01/2025), đưa ra hai luận điểm giải thích vì sao tổng thống Trump xem McKinley như một « thần tượng ».« Thứ nhất, điều thú vị ở đây là xem cách thức chính quyền Trump, kể cả bản thân ông Trump cũng như cựu cố vấn thương mại Robert Lighthizer lấy cảm hứng và sử dụng lịch sử bảo hộ mậu dịch Mỹ như thế nào để chứng tỏ rằng cuối cùng những điều cấm kỵ về chủ nghĩa bảo hộ trong nhiều năm trước đã làm cho người ta không biết đến toàn bộ truyền thống bảo hộ của Mỹ đã tạo nên sức mạnh kinh tế của Mỹ.Điểm thứ hai, đó là khía cạnh hoài niệm của Donald Trump, vốn thích so sánh mình với nhiều tổng thống khác. Tôi tin rằng việc chọn tổng thống McKinley không phải là vô tình. Không những đây là một vị tổng thống theo chủ nghĩa bảo hộ mà còn là một người có tham vọng đế quốc. Và do vậy, điều đó giúp Donald Trump, ở một hình thức nào đó, biện minh cho những tham vọng bành trướng lãnh thổ của mình, đối với kênh đào Panama, hay quần đảo Groenland ngày nay. »Smoot – Hawley Act và cuộc Đại Khủng HoảngNhưng có lẽ ông Trump cũng quên rằng, thuế hải quan đã từng nhấn chìm nước Mỹ vào một trong những thảm họa kinh tế tồi tệ nhất trong lịch sử đất nước : Khủng hoảng kinh tế 1930 do « Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act » gây ra, đưa nước Mỹ vào thời kỳ Đại Suy Thoái.Ngược dòng thời gian, Hoa Kỳ trong những năm 1920 có nền kinh tế khá thịnh vượng. Đó là « những năm 20 sôi động », tỷ lệ thất nghiệp thấp, tăng trưởng cao và ngành công nghiệp phát triển mạnh. Duy chỉ có một lĩnh vực có nhiều dấu hiệu suy yếu : Nông nghiệp.Theo giải thích của ông Sebastien Jean, giáo sư kinh tế tại CNAM, cộng tác viên cho Viện Quan hệ Quốc tế và Chiến lược (IRIS), với trang HuffingtonPost, « ngành nông nghiệp Mỹ trong suốt những năm 1920 cho thấy có dấu hiệu trì trệ do giá cả sụt giảm, ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến cơ cấu ngành bởi sự biến động của những năm tháng chiến tranh. Trước đó là quãng thời gian mà ngành nông nghiệp Mỹ phát triển đáng kể, chủ yếu là vì phải nuôi sống châu Âu, đang trong cảnh chiến tranh (Đệ nhất thế chiến). Nhưng khi chiến tranh kết thúc, châu Âu đã lấy lại sản xuất và ngành nông nghiệp của họ rơi vào tình trạng dư thừa sản xuất kéo dài. »Giới nông gia Mỹ rơi vào khủng hoảng kinh tế. Để ứng phó, Quốc Hội Mỹ năm 1922 thông qua luật Fordney – McCumber, lần đầu tiên tăng thuế hải quan, nhưng chỉ giới hạn ở hàng công nghiệp. Ông Herbert Hoover, thuộc đảng Cộng Hòa, khi vận động tranh cử đã dùng lại ý tưởng được hậu thuẫn bởi những người vận động hành lang cho các nhà sản xuất nông nghiệp, cho rằng nông dân đang chịu thiệt thòi do cạnh tranh quốc tế. Ông đề nghị áp thuế hải quan đối với nông sản nhập khẩu ngay khi đắc cử năm 1929.Dưới sự thôi thúc từ hai nghị sĩ đảng Cộng Hòa là Willis Hawley và Reed Smoot, Quốc Hội Lưỡng Viện đã đồng thuận về mức thuế trung bình là 40% nhắm vào khoảng 20 nghìn loại hàng hóa nhập khẩu, nhưng không chỉ đối với nông sản mà mở rộng sang cả sản phẩm công nghiệp. Quyết định này của chính quyền Hoover đã bị chỉ trích mạnh mẽ trong và ngoài nước.Bất chấp thư ngỏ tập thể của hơn 1.000 kinh tế gia, cảnh báo rằng « việc thông qua các biện pháp bảo hộ này sẽ là một sai lầm », có thể dẫn đến tình trạng giá cả tăng cao cho người tiêu thụ, và mức sống của người dân bị sụt giảm, cũng như là sự phản đối từ khoảng 20 chính phủ các nước, dự luật Smoot – Hawley vẫn được thông qua vào đầu năm 1930.Đại chiến thương mại thế giới và làn sóng bảo hộ mậu dịchĐáng chú ý là văn bản luật này ra đời vào một thời điểm khá nhạy cảm : Vụ sụp đổ thị trường chứng khoán Mỹ, « ngày thứ Năm đen tối » 24/10/1929, đã bắt đầu cho thấy có những tác động đầu tiên đối với nền kinh tế Mỹ : Nhà xưởng lần lượt đóng cửa khiến hàng triệu người dân Mỹ rơi vào cảnh thất nghiệp.Không những ngành nông nghiệp Mỹ chẳng hưởng được lợi gì từ thuế hải quan, mà chính sách bảo hộ của Mỹ đã châm ngòi cho cơn sốt bảo hộ mậu dịch. Các đối tác thương mại của Washington tăng cường trả đũa với nhiều chiến lược khác nhau, từ tăng thuế hải quan, tẩy chay, hay áp đặt hạn ngạch (quota) nhập khẩu hàng Mỹ.Cuộc chiến thương mại này đã làm chao đảo nền kinh tế thế giới, các hoạt động trao đổi thương mại sụt giảm đến hơn 40%. Tuy nhiên, ông Eric Monnet, kinh tế gia, giáo sư sử học tại EHESS, và trường Kinh tế Paris, trên trang Economie Alternative, trích dẫn một nghiên cứu xa xưa do BarryEichengreen và Douglas A. Irwin thực hiện, nêu lên một chi tiết thú vị là cuộc chiến bảo hộ này không chỉ đáp trả Mỹ mà còn thúc đẩy các nước đi theo con đường bảo hộ giống như Mỹ.Chỉ có điều, như ghi nhận từ Bertrand Blancheton, chuyên gia về lịch sử kinh tế thế giới, đại học Bordeaux, khi trả lời kênh truyền hình France 24, trong cuộc đọ sức này, và với việc bùng phát cơn sốt bảo hộ, tất cả các bên đều bị thiệt do tăng trưởng thế giới bị chững lại : « Chính quyền Hoover nghĩ rằng các nước khác sẽ không phản ứng, nhưng họ đã có những hành động trả đũa thương mại. Cuộc chiến thương mại thực sự này đã dẫn đến tình trạng gần như tự cung tự cấp cho đến khi Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến nổ ra. »Đạo luật Smoot-Hawley, một « đạo luật kinh tế ngu xuẩn », theo như chỉ trích từ Henry Ford, nhà sáng lập thương hiệu ô tô nổi tiếng tại Mỹ, đã làm cho cuộc khủng hoảng kinh tế Mỹ 1929 thêm trầm trọng. Chính sách bảo hộ này của Mỹ được cho là một trong những tác nhân chính gây ra cuộc Đại Suy Thoái, góp phần thúc đẩy một cuộc suy thoái mới le lói xuất hiện thành một cuộc khủng hoảng toàn cầu, kéo dài hàng thập kỷ.Trump Act và sự tương đồng với các chính sách cuối thế kỷ XIXTheo giải thích của nhà sử học Jean-Baptiste Velut, trường đại học Sorbonne Nouvelle ,với trang HuffingtonPost, « đạo luật này đã có những tác động tàn phá. Bởi vì, thông qua các tác động gián tiếp, nhiều cường quốc khác, đến phiên họ, đã khép cửa thị trường của mình. Và dần dần từng chút một, kinh tế và thương mại thế giới đã bị mất đến 2/3 giá trị của mình ».Một số sử gia thậm chí còn tin rằng, « Smoot – Hawley Tariff Act » đã góp sức cho sự trỗi dậy của chủ nghĩa Đức Quốc xã, dẫn đến Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến. Tuy nhiên, nhà sử học Jean-Baptiste Velut, trên đài France Culture, cho rằng đây vẫn còn là điều gây nhiều tranh cãi:« Một số nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng về cơ bản, khủng hoảng tài chính là gốc rễ của cuộc khủng hoảng kinh tế Mỹ và thế giới. Nhiều nghiên cứu khác quả thực chỉ ra rằng thuế quan rất cao đã làm trầm trọng thêm các vấn đề về khủng hoảng. Điều thú vị là đạo luật Smoot – Hawley đã trở thành một dạng tội đồ trong lịch sử kinh tế nước Mỹ và dưới góc độ biểu tượng, đạo luật này đã ám ảnh các cuộc tranh luận về tự do mậu dịch và nền ngoại giao Mỹ. »Dù vậy, sử gia về kinh tế Mỹ, Bertrand Blancheton, trả lời France 24, cũng tỏ ra cẩn trọng khi so sánh những gì diễn ra năm 1930 với tình hình hiện nay.« Tốt hơn là nên so sánh những gì chúng ta đang trải qua hiện nay với cuối thế kỷ XIX, từ năm 1880 đến năm 1914. Vào thời kỳ đó, Mỹ có những chính sách thương mại rất tinh vi và phân biệt đối xử. Ý tưởng là nhắm vào một quốc gia, sản phẩm cụ thể và đàm phán. Trong lịch sử kinh tế đương đại, kể từ cuộc cách mạng công nghiệp, có những thời điểm mà người ta tự do hóa và lúc khác họ siết chặt chính sách thương mại bằng cách tái lập thuế hải quan. Nhìn chung, đó là những kỳ kéo dài trong khoảng từ 30 đến 40 năm mỗi lần như thế. »Trump có sẽ cùng cảnh ngộ như Hoover ?Các mức thuế quan mới mà Donald Trump đưa ra, được cho là sẽ mở ra một « thời kỳ hoàng kim » cho nước Mỹ, nhưng lại có nguy cơ khiến các hộ gia đình Mỹ sẽ phải trả giá đắt. Một thăm dò do hãng tin Anh Reuters/Ipsos thực hiện cho thấy, 70% số người Mỹ được hỏi nghĩ rằng tăng thuế hải quan sẽ dẫn đến tăng giá thực phẩm và hàng hóa tiêu dùng hiện nay.Trong những năm 1930, tổng thống Hoover đã phải trả giá cho chính sách thuế quan. Trong cuộc bầu cử tổng thống năm 1932, vì không thể hóa giải được những tác động của cuộc khủng hoảng, tổng thống Cộng Hòa đã bị ứng viên Dân chủ Franklin D. Roosevelt đánh bại nặng nề.Chỉ còn 18 tháng nữa là đến kỳ bầu cử giữa kỳ, đảng Cộng Hòa cũng phần nào lo lắng vì đảng này chiếm đa số sít sao ở Thượng Viện và Hạ Viện. Vào lúc thị trường chứng khoán Mỹ và thế giới hoảng loạn, tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump vẫn kiên định lập trường, không thay đổi chính sách thuế quan nặng nề.Thứ Tư 02/04, khi thông báo áp mức thuế mới chống lại nhiều nước, Donald Trump đã tuyên bố rằng Đại Khủng Hoảng những năm 1930 có lẽ sẽ không xảy ra nếu như việc áp thuế quan vẫn được tiếp tục. « Vào năm 1929, mọi việc đã kết thúc đột ngột cùng với cuộc Đại suy Thoái, và điều đó có lẽ sẽ không bao giờ diễn ra nếu như họ vẫn trung thành với chính sách thuế quan, lịch sử đã có thể rất khác ! »Hơn 90 năm sau ngày ban hành luật Smoot – Hawley, liệu rằng lịch sử có sẽ tái diễn ?

Deze week kondigde Trump de importheffingen aan, voor goederen uit landen die tarieven hebben op Amerikaanse producten. De dag zal volgens de Amerikaans president de boeken ingaan als bevrijdingsdag. Met de importheffingen grijpt Trump terug op de zogenoemde Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act onder president Herbert Hoover, die is begonnen in 1930. Maar wat hield die act in, en wat waren de gevolgen van die verhoogde importtarieven wereldwijd en voor Amerika? En is er een les uit te trekken voor de maatregelen van Trump nu? We vragen het aan Amerikanist Casper Thomas.

Today in 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a bill that made “The Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem of the United States, more than a century after it was written. Another fun fact about the anthem: there's an official Spanish-language version. Plus: today in 1920, the birthday of James Doohan. His Star Trek character, Mr. Scott, has a plaque in the town where he's supposed to be born in 2222.

In 1976 historian George H. Nash wrote The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945, a celebrated historical accounting that established much of the narrative for how we think about the development of modern conservatism even today.  George Nash joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis to discuss the various strands of thought that emerged after the Second World War that eventually evolved into a political movement on the Right.  Along the way, Dr. Nash shares his insights on the colorful individuals who shaped the debate, how they fought one another, and how an eventual loose consensus was brought forth.  Finally, he offers some thoughts on what a lifetime of studying the history of conservatism can teach aspiring conservatives today.   About George H. Nash   George H. Nash is the epitome of a gentleman and a scholar.  A graduate from Amherst College who received his Ph.D. in History from Harvard University, Dr. Nash is an authority on the histories of American conservatism and the life of President Herbert Hoover.  Dr. Nash is an independent scholar, historian, and lecturer.  He speaks and writes frequently about the history and present direction of American conservatism, the life of Herbert Hoover, the legacy of Ronald Reagan, the education of the Founding Fathers, and other subjects.  His writings have appeared in the American Spectator, Claremont Review of Books, Intercollegiate Review, Modern Age, National Review, New York Times Book Review, Policy Review, University Bookman, Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.  He has lectured at the Library of Congress; the National Archives; the Herbert Hoover, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson presidential libraries; the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum; the Hoover Institution; the Heritage Foundation; the McConnell Center; and at various universities and conferences in the United States and Europe.  Several of his lectures have been featured on C-SPAN.  He has also been interviewed by C-SPAN, National Public Radio, numerous radio stations, and the print media.  Dr. Nash lives in Massachusetts.   Listener Mail   At the end of the episode, Josh responds to a listener's question about a comment he made in the episode that dropped on Election Day 2020.  Josh had expressed his views at that time that neither major party candidate represented an existential threat to the United States and the listener askes, given what we now know about the election aftermath, accusations of widespread election fraud, the incursion on January 6, and the subsequent white washing of the Republican party, would Josh now view Trump as an existential threat to the country?

How can the teachings of the Bible transform our daily lives, much like maintaining physical fitness transforms our bodies? Join me, Jesse Cope, as I promise to uncover the intertwining paths of faith, prayer, and spiritual growth. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to embrace the power of small, consistent efforts in forming spiritual habits that elevate our lives beyond mediocrity. By reflecting on the honorable service of Marines and the enduring assurances it brings, we transition into deeper spiritual insights. Discover how faith in Jesus Christ, coupled with intentional prayer and Bible reading, illuminates our path and fortifies our spiritual resilience.As we journey further, explore America's historical roots as a nation shaped by Christian values and the crucial role of Bible-centric education in preserving these ideals. Drawing inspiration from notable figures like Herbert Hoover and J.C. Penney, we delve into lessons of love, humility, and discipline.

This Day in Legal History: Chief Justice Taft ResignsOn February 3, 1930, Chief Justice William Howard Taft resigned from the U.S. Supreme Court due to declining health. Taft remains the only person in American history to have served both as President (1909–1913) and as Chief Justice (1921–1930). After his presidency, he achieved what he considered his true ambition—leading the nation's highest court. As Chief Justice, he was instrumental in modernizing the federal judiciary, including advocating for the construction of the Supreme Court's own building, which was completed after his death. His tenure also saw decisions that reinforced executive power and judicial efficiency. By late 1929, however, his health had deteriorated significantly due to heart disease and progressive neurological issues. Struggling to fulfill his duties, he reluctantly stepped down, fearing he could no longer serve effectively. Just five weeks later, on March 8, 1930, he passed away. His successor, Charles Evans Hughes, was nominated by President Herbert Hoover. Taft's dual legacy as both a U.S. President and Chief Justice remains unmatched in American history.Elon Musk claimed his "DOGE team," tasked with government efficiency, is shutting down certain payments to federal contractors, raising concerns about his access to U.S. Treasury systems. Musk stated that his team is eliminating corruption in real time, including halting payments to Lutheran Family Services, a charity supporting refugees. The Treasury Department has not confirmed Musk's level of access, but Senator Ron Wyden suggested Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent granted DOGE full control over federal payments. Musk's influence follows his appointment by Donald Trump to modernize federal IT, though he appears to be extending that role to financial oversight. USAID security officials were placed on leave after refusing DOGE staff access, prompting Musk to call the agency “a criminal organization.” His claims about widespread fraud in federal payments remain unverified, as Treasury already has systems in place to prevent improper transactions. Meanwhile, Treasury's top career official, David Lebryk, recently left his post, further intensifying scrutiny. Trump praised Musk's cost-cutting efforts but acknowledged potential disagreements on policy direction.Musk Says DOGE Is Halting Treasury Payments to US Contractors - BloombergA new conservative law firm, Lex Politica, has been launched by Chris Gober, a lawyer for Elon Musk's America PAC, along with attorneys Steve Roberts and Jessica Furst Johnson. The firm aims to represent Republican candidates, campaigns, and causes, strengthening ties between conservative legal professionals and Trump-aligned politicians. Gober, who previously served as America PAC's treasurer, stated he wants Lex Politica to become synonymous with the conservative movement. Roberts and Johnson bring experience representing figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator Rick Scott, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. The firm joins a growing network of right-leaning law groups, such as Dhillon Law Group and Schaerr Jaffe, which have close ties to Trump and Musk. These firms have been involved in significant legal battles, including free speech cases on Musk's platform, X, and efforts to reshape the federal government's legal structure. Neither Musk nor representatives for key Republican clients commented on the firm's launch.Lawyers for Musk, Republican campaigns form new Washington firm | ReutersGoogle is appealing a jury verdict and court order that found it illegally stifled competition in its Play Store. The case, brought by Fortnite maker Epic Games in 2020, accused Google of monopolizing app distribution and in-app payments on Android devices. A jury ruled in Epic's favor in 2023, and U.S. District Judge James Donato ordered Google to allow rival app stores within its Play Store and make its app catalog available to competitors. Google argues the ruling was flawed, claiming it competes with Apple's App Store and that the judge improperly expanded the order to impact all developers, not just Epic. Epic insists Google engaged in years of anti-competitive behavior and is fighting to uphold the jury's decision. Microsoft, the U.S. Justice Department, and the FTC have backed Epic in the case. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments on Monday, with a decision expected later this year, which could potentially be appealed to the Supreme Court.Google to ask US appeals court to overturn app store verdict | ReutersMcDonald's has agreed to revise its HACER National Scholarships Program by removing race and ethnicity as eligibility criteria to settle a lawsuit filed by the American Alliance for Equal Rights, a group led by affirmative action opponent Edward Blum. The lawsuit argued that restricting eligibility to students with at least one Hispanic or Latino parent discriminated against other ethnic groups. McDonald's denied wrongdoing but decided that modifying the program was the best course of action. Moving forward, applicants will need to demonstrate their contributions to the Hispanic and Latino community rather than meet racial or ethnic requirements. The settlement comes as McDonald's and other companies scale back diversity initiatives following legal challenges and political pressure. In January, McDonald's also abandoned diversity goals for corporate leadership, citing shifting legal standards, including the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling that struck down race-based college admissions policies. Blum criticized the scholarship's previous criteria, arguing that many students were unfairly excluded.McDonald's settles lawsuit challenging Latino scholarship program | Reuters This is a public episode.

Donald Trump hielt nach seiner Vereidigung am Montag die längste Antrittsrede seit Herbert Hoover 1929. Bemerkenswert war auch ihr Inhalt. Der 47. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten redete zwar davon, das Land zu einen. Aber er zog auch in Abkehr von den Gepflogenheiten über seinen Vorgänger Joe Biden her, der hinter ihm sass und bezichtigte ihn, die Amerikaner betrogen zu haben. Sich selbst bezeichnete Trump als von Gott auserwählt, die USA zu retten – weil ihn im Wahlkampf die Gewehrkugel eines Attentäters nur gestreift hatte.An seinem ersten Tag im Amt erliess Trump zudem gegen 100 Dekrete. Er machte eine Schau daraus, die ersten Erlasse vor seinen Anhängern in einem Sportstadion zu unterschreiben. Er rief einen Notstand an der Grenze zu Mexiko aus, wies die Armee an, die Grenze zu schützen und bereitete den Umbau der amerikanischen Bürokratie vor. Er erklärte den Austritt der USA aus dem Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen, machte eine Reihe von Beschlüssen Bidens rückgängig und begnadigte gegen 1600 Personen, die nach dem Sturm auf das Capitol 2021 verurteilt worden waren.Was will Trump mit dieser Flut von Erlassen erreichen? Was geschieht nun mit Migranten, die versuchen, in die USA zu gelangen? Wie ernst ist er zu nehmen, wenn er den Golf von Mexiko in den Golf von Amerika umbenennen und den Panamakanal «zurückholen» will? Und warum setzt er sein Versprechen nicht um, den Krieg in der Ukraine innerhalb von 24 Stunden zu beenden?Über diese Fragen unterhalten sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, und Fabian Fellmann, USA-Korrespondent in Washington, in der jüngsten Ausgabe des Podcasts «Alles klar, Amerika?». Produziert wird die Folge von Noah Fend – der die Frage der Woche angeregt hat, die sich mit Elon Musks ausgestrecktem Arm auseinandersetzt, mit dem der reichste Mann der Welt Aufsehen erregt hat.Mehr zum Thema:Donald Trump ist zurück – mächtig und entschlossen wie nie zuvor: Kommentar zu Trumps Antrittsrede«Lasst sie frei»: Vor dem Gefängnis werden die Angehörigen der Capitol-Stürmer ungeduldigDie Inauguration von Trump: Die Hand auf der Bibel braucht er nicht mehr Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

https://youtu.be/KpI9AW3ymyI The British- French Guarantee of Poland and Rumania in 1939 Fourth. The fourth abysmal loss of statesmanship was when the British and French guaranteed the independence of Poland and Rumania at the end of March, 1939. It was at this point that the European democracies reversed their previous policies of keeping hands off the inevitable war between Hitler and Stalin. It was probably the greatest blunder in the whole history of European power diplomacy. Britain and France were helpless to save Poland from invasion. By this act, however, they threw the bodies of democracy between Hitler and Stalin. By their actions they not only protected Stalin from Hitler but they enabled him to sell his influence to the highest bidder. The Allies did bid but Stalin's price was annexation of defenseless people of the Baltic States and East Poland, a moral price which the Allies could not meet. Stalin got his price from Hitler. Yet Hitler had no intention of abandoning his determination to expand in Southeast Europe and to destroy the Communist Vatican in Moscow. But now he must of necessity first neutralize the Western Democracies which he proceeded to do. The long train of the hideous World War II started from the blunder of the Polish guarantees. Roosevelt had some part in these power politics but the record is yet too incomplete to establish how much. Churchill, not yet in the government, had contributed something by goading Chamberlain to desperate action aft er his appeasement at Munich. - Herbert Hoover, Freedom Betrayed Watch on X Watch on BitChute Watch on Rumble Watch on Odysee

THE GREAT SOCIETY EXPECTATIONS 1965:  1/4: Equality of Opportunity: A Century of Debate Hardcover – by  David Davenport  (Author), Gordon Lloyd  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Equality-Opportunity-Century-David-Davenport/dp/0817925848 For over one hundred years, Americans have debated what equality of opportunity means and the role of government in ensuring it. Are we born with equality of opportunity, and must we thus preserve our innate legal and political freedoms? Or must it be created through laws and policies that smooth out social or economic inequalities? David Davenport and Gordon Lloyd trace the debate as it has evolved from America's founding into the twentieth century, when the question took on greater prominence. The authors use original sources and historical reinterpretations to revisit three great debates and their implications for the discussions today. First, they imagine the Founders, especially James Madison, arguing the case against the Progressives, particularly Woodrow Wilson. Next are two conspicuous public dialogues: Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's debate around the latter's New Deal; and Ronald Reagan's response to Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty. The conservative-progressive divide in this discussion has persisted, setting the stage for understanding the differing views about equality of opportunity today.

Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928, when the country was enjoying the booming economy of the Roaring Twenties. It wouldn't last long. The stock market crashed just a year later, and a full-scale economic depression set in.

"Too much praise cannot be given to the President for the prompt and resolute and skillful way in which he has set about reassuring the country after the financial collapse.”  This is the story of Herbert Hoover's facing the early years of the Great Depression. Just after the stock market crash of 1929, people aren't expecting the worst. Most, including the experts, believe that this little downturn will blow over with time, just like past economic troubles. Avoiding the word “panic,” President Herbert Hoover comes up with a new term meant to describe how minor this downturn will be. He calls it a “depression.” He also pushes volunteerism. Congress cuts taxes. The Fed cuts the discount rate. Americans feel they are in good hands. But national productivity keeps going down. Unemployment keeps going up. Breadlines are getting longer and a drought has hit the heartland. Then major banks start going under, both in the US and abroad. Britain goes off the gold standard. As “Hoovervilles” spread and Great War vets march to DC, Bert Hoover—the famous “Master of Emergencies”—finds himself facing an economic challenge unlike any ever faced by a president. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Today's show deals almost entirely with a story whose seismic impact across the Left and the Legacy/mainstream media cannot be understated. If there was still any lingering doubt about the media being nothing more than the propaganda wing of the Democrat party, this story is the final nail in their coffin. On Sunday, seemingly out of nowhere, Joe Biden released a statement indicating he was giving his son, Hunter, a full Federal pardon. What's interesting in the pardon is for any and all crimes committed between January 01, 2014 through December 01, 2024. It just so happens that Joe Biden was given the Ukraine portfolio to manage as then Vice President in February of 2014 and Hunter would begin serving on the board of Burisma by May of 2014.  But, while some in the media are desperate to make it look like it was only about his tax evasion and gun felonies, others on the Left are outraged over the talking-point Biden just handed to Trump and his allies. We go through several examples to show how there is a massive fracture within the party. We close with a look at the current Designated Liar, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) trying to pretend there is no weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ, while also mocking the selection of Kash Patel to head the FBI. We close with even more bad news for Kamala Harris's loss on November 5. Not only does it look like she now spent more than $2.1 billion on her loss, but she did something that hasn't been done since 1932. Harris is the first candidate since Herbert Hoover who did not flip a single county in the United States of America.  Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

5/8: 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents by  David Pietrusza  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/1920-Year-Presidents-David-Pietrusza/dp/0786721022 The presidential election of 1920 was one of the most dramatic ever. For the only time in the nation's history, six once-and-future presidents hoped to end up in the White House: Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Theodore Roosevelt. It was an election that saw unprecedented levels of publicity -- the Republicans outspent the Democrats by 4 to 1 -- and it was the first to garner extensive newspaper and newsreel coverage. It was also the first election in which women could vote. Meanwhile, the 1920 census showed that America had become an urban nation -- automobiles, mass production, chain stores, and easy credit were transforming the economy and America was limbering up for the most spectacular decade of its history, the roaring '20s.

Welcome to the final episode of What Just Happened, a Recall This Book experiment. In it you will hear three friends of RTB reacting to the 2024 election and discussing the coming four years. David Cunningham, chair of Sociology at Washington University in St Louis, is author of Klansville, USA (Oxford UP, 2014) and There's Something Happening Here: The New Left, the Klan, and FBI Counterintelligence (U California Press, 2005). His ongoing research includes the recent wave of conflicts around Confederate monuments and other sites of contested memory. David's vision of what has changed in 2024 relates to an extended analogy to the election of 1972, when the avowedly racist George ("Segregation....forever") Wallace almost rode right-wing fury to victory. Notes of hope? Well, David has faith in extant political institutions and even bureaucracy (long live the deep state) to blunt the force of Trump's onslaught; movement politics of the left may also prove capable, as they were in the 1930's of rising up in response to a ferocious successful mobilization on the right.

David's vision of what has changed in 2024 relates to an extended analogy to the election of 1972, when the avowedly racist George ("Segregation....forever") Wallace almost rode right-wing fury to victory. Notes of hope? Well, David has faith in extant political institutions and even bureaucracy (long live the deep state) to blunt the force of Trump's onslaught; movement politics of the left may also prove capable, as they were in the 1930's of rising up in response to a ferocious successful mobilization on the right.

“A wise man never sells out at the first sign of trouble. That's for the pikers.” This is the story of the 1929 Wall Street Crash.  On October 24, or “Black Thursday,” stock prices plunge unexpectedly. Early the next week, whatever was left of the bottom falls out on “Black Tuesday.” The New York Stock Exchange has crashed. The Roaring 20s are over. But what exactly is a stock market? How does the American financial system work in the 1920s? And how did the Crash of 1929 happen? From the origins of the NYSE to the development of the Federal Reserve System, we'll unravel it all before it all unravels as we also meet the man that 1920s Americans overwhelmingly want to lead the nation. He's a man known for his gifted abilities when handling a crisis. They call him the “Great Humanitarian.” Welcome to the White House, President Herbert Hoover.  Check out this Spotify playlist if you're looking for other HTDS episodes on economic panics, which are episodes 19, 27, 29, 30, 91, 97, 98, and 127. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

In 1933, as Herbert Hoover's presidency concluded, Americans found themselves searching for a leader who could bring hope to a nation facing unprecedented hardship. That leader was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a man whose personal resilience, family legacy, and transformative vision would steer the United States through the Great Depression and World War II. Understanding FDR's journey offers not only a glimpse into his remarkable life but also insight into the influences of a family deeply woven into American history.

Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States, stands as a figure of resilience and complexity in American history. Known primarily for leading the nation during the onset of the Great Depression, Hoover's life story is deeply rooted in his early experiences, family background, and the values of self-reliance and service that shaped his leadership. Born on August 10, 1874, in West Branch, Iowa, Hoover was the first U.S. president born west of the Mississippi River—a fitting marker for a man whose life was shaped by the pioneer spirit of westward expansion.

Was Harry Truman really our poorest president or simply a man up at 2 a.m. struggling with financial anxiety? Did Calvin Coolidge get bad advice from his stockbroker to buy stocks in 1930 as the market continued to crash? Is it true George Washington enhanced his net worth by marrying up?We often think of the US presidents as being above the fray. But the truth is, the presidents are just like us—worried about money, trying to keep a budget, and chasing the American financial dream. While some presidents like Herbert Hoover and Gerald Ford became wildly successful with money, others like Thomas Jefferson and Joe Biden struggled to sustain their lifestyle. The ability to win the presidency is no guarantee of financial security, although today it's a much easier path to monetize.Today's guest is Megan Gorman, author of “All the Presidents' Money.” We look at the different personal money stories of the presidents. Grit, education, and risk are just some of the different ways that the presidents over the last 250 years have made (or lost) money.
