In many Black households of yesteryear, portraits of Martin Luther King, Jr. hung alongside pictures of John F. Kennedy and Jesus. Sharron Wilkins Conrad, fellow at Southern Methodist University's Center for Presidential History, joins guest host John McCaa to discuss how Black families viewed martyred leaders who advocated for change and how that respect didn't extent to President Johnson, who was tasked with actually passing Civil Rights legislation. Her book is “The Trinity: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Civil Rights in African American Memory.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This was one of our most listened-to conversations of the past year. If you missed it the first time, here's your second chance. She moderated the fly debate. She interviewed Stephen Hawking.

Steiny & Guru wonder why experts are providing gasoline to the fire that is LeBron James to Golden State rumors. Do people know something we don't?

He has to be regardless if you still have LBJ on the team

Facts

I think they want him back but just not at a max contract

He's older now on top of that you can't expect him to do that he shouldn't even have to do that

No I don't think so

In 250 jaar jaar telden de Verenigde Staten van Amerika 47 presidenten. Wie waren zij? Hoe deden ze het, als staatshoofd en als politiek leider? Wie van hen zetten écht de toon? En hoe kijken wij nu naar mensen als Abraham Lincoln, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon en Donald Trump? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten hierover met professor Michael Nelson van Rhodes College in Memphis, eminent kenner, auteur en samensteller van reeksen boeken over het ambt, de impact en het leven van presidenten. *** This is a Dutch podcast, but from minute 6 on, the conversation is in English. Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** 'President' was met de komt van de Amerikaanse Grondwet in 1787 een bestuurlijke vondst en politiek experiment. Deze functie bestond nog nergens. Hoe deze in te vullen, wist eigenlijk niemand. Michael Nelson schetst kleurrijk hoe George Washington dit allemaal zelf moest uitvinden en hoe hij wonderlijk goed erin slaagde die rol ook voor zijn opvolgers inhoud, richting en stijl te geven. Na hem zouden anderen deze functie verder kleur geven. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) ging met veto's in tegen het Congres, als anti-elite politicus. Teddy Roosevelt (1901 - 1909) was de man die als moderne populist nieuwe media als magazines en zelfs film ging inzetten. Zijn neef Franklin Roosevelt (1933 - 1945) professionaliseerde het Witte Huis als zijn persoonlijke apparaat en machtscentrum, zelfs op wereldschaal. Elke president nadien is zo hun opvolger. Nelson relativeert hoe 'zwaar' de baan van de president is. Het Witte Huis levert immers een gedegen machinerie die de bewoner bijna alles uit handen kan nemen. Wel zie je dat presidenten er soms vereenzamen, opgesloten raken in hun stress en daardoor ongelukkig en stuurloos worden. De baan laat het karakter van een president heel zichtbaar worden. "President worden, onthult wie je echt bent," zegt Nelson. Zo bleek de eenvoudige Harry Truman ongedachte kwaliteiten van leiderschap en daadkracht te hebben, terwijl Richard Nixon zeker een briljant politicus was, maar in de greep raakte van zijn demonen. Donald Trump is volgens Nelson een fundamentele breuk: hij voelt niet aan wat de rol van staatshoofd betekent. Kenmerkend noemt hij hoe Trump '250 jaar VS’ viert. Niet het ideaal van ‘leven, vrijheid en het nastreven van geluk' staat centraal, maar zijn persoonlijk hobbyisme. "Hij wil bij leven nog overal zijn naam op de gevels gedrukt zien." De historische dynamiek en de vaste waarden in het ambt van president hebben grote invloed op ons oordeel over hoe die 47 heren hun rol als politiek leider en staatshoofd invulden. We kijken meestal terug vanuit de politieke normen van onze eigen tijd. Daardoor daalt en stijgt de reputatie van verschillende van hen soms verrassend. Presidenten als Ulysses Grant, Harry Truman en Dwight Eisenhower bijvoorbeeld, werden pas later veel meer gewaardeerd. Wat Nelson betreft staan eigenlijk alleen de drie min of meer permanent hoogst beoordeelden op een vast voetstuk. "Washington, Lincoln en Franklin Roosevelt blijven het rolmodel. Zij moesten alle drie het ambt in ongekende omstandigheden bekleden en dat deden ze briljant. En ja, ze stierven meteen, dat hielp hun reputatie ook wel." Michael Nelson heeft voor de luisteraars nog een reeks niet te missen tips. Bij welke bibliotheek van welke president moet je echt gaan kijken? Welke biografie van welke president niet overslaan? Maar ook: wie wil Trump echt als zijn opvolger kronen en waarom niét JD Vance? Maar wat doet Frank Sinatra in deze aflevering? *** Verder lezen Het boek dat het beste aansluit bij deze aflevering is The American Presidency: Origins and Development, 1776-2025.

H2-S2 full 00:04 All right, let's go. The phones are down to Chico and Pakalett. How you doing, Chico? I'm doing very well. And thank you so much for what you do, sir. I'm just glad to be able to talk to you again. I'm going to read off what I'm planning on doing here in just the next few minutes. But I wanted to mention to you, you brought up LBJ. He's not a really popular Texas president. Right. You might want to look up the treatment. It was it's it's it's described as a 00:33 almost hypnotic experience and rendered the target stunned and helpless. And it's what he would do to people that would, that he had confrontation with fellow senators or whatever. Anyway, it's creepy. Yeah. Look it up. It's called the treatment and he would do that to people. I would read it out, but I don't want to waste time. That's okay. Who are you voting for? Richard Nixon was a far, far better man. And just real quick. 01:01 When he flew into Harlingen, Texas one time during his presidency, they sent a hearse to pick him up. All right. So I'm going for Mr. Ralph Norman. I'm going for Mr. David Stumbo. I'm going for Mr. Danny Ford. have nothing against Cody, but I'm going for Mr. Danny Ford. Mark Lynch. I want to ask you between 01:27 I'm kind of holding my nose on this a little bit. think I'm going for William Timmons and Abe Harris. Okay. And do you know anything about Mike Stacey? I do not. I do not know anything about Mike Stacey. No big deal. And I'm going to vote yes on those two questions. And I want to thank you all for everything that you do because, very important, I travel a lot. Yeah. So last time I called you, I told you that. 01:54 I come back in for just a couple of days and I have a very, very small limited amount of time to make up my mind about these elections. You guys are right on. I trust you. And this is the I take your opinions very seriously. Thank you for what you do, sir. I appreciate it. Chico, our absolute best. Well, thank you very much. You got about 35 minutes to get to that poll, Chico. Don't speed, but make haste if you wouldn't mind. 02:23 35 minutes until the polls close. We are going to be out of the foundry at Judson Mill. I would love to see you folks out there. It's going to be a great, great night. We're going to be bringing you all of your election results. And man, I tell you what, it's going to be a race. in some of these races, they're not going to be over tonight. Governor's race, not going to be over tonight. um We're definitely going to go to a runoff on that. That's just a statistical. 02:51 probability, a very good one. One of the things that I found it funny. 02:58 how all of these people are saying that, you know, that we support President Trump. and we know that Trump is the gold standard. We understand that. But Pam Leavitt said something today. She was like, she was like, Henry McMaster is stood by Donald Trump. And I thought, well, well, well, wait a minute. Hold on. Henry McMaster is stood by Donald Trump? I can name you two instances where he hasn't stood by Donald Trump. 03:29 Instance number one, when our state legislature here in South Carolina decided not to go along with the one big beautiful bill in giving us the no tax on tips, no tax on over times, tax breaks for seniors, they did not do that. And what did Henry McMaster do? He did what Henry McMaster does, nothing. He did absolutely nothing. 03:57 So then that's instance number one. Number two is back in January, the whole redistricting thing really started ramping up and members of the Freedom Caucus started saying, hey, we need to redistrict South Carolina. We need to do away with Jim Clyburn's district. We need to get all that done. And what did the House do? They said, well, no, we don't want to do that. And our governor, Henry McMaster, said, 04:26 He didn't see any need for it. 04:29 So then what happened? He waited until he felt like he could get some sort of a deal to even, and he did this half-hea ... 362 Tue, 09 Jun 2026 22:33:00 +0000 zoCujV9Qj7Vjocq6nElgNDUaoRar0nfv news The Charlie James Show Podcast news H2-S2 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

They have to decide

He's right and he's not

I sure hope they find common ground

Idk but I think it'll be something around 20-30 ish million

If you give him a great roster I think he'll return if not well you know the answer to that lol

Steiny & Guru discuss the Warriors process this summer and if it's incorporating anything long-term or if the moves, LBJ-related, are just for the now. Is that smart?!

Steiny & Guru discuss whether LeBron James is not just a legit option, but if Steph Curry is actually going to be involved in the recruiting of LBJ. Will it work?!

The FIFA World Cup is coming to North Texas, and Dallas-Fort Worth is set to host more matches than anywhere else in the United States. That's exciting... but it also raises one terrifying question:Can thousands of international visitors survive driving on DFW roads? On this episode of The Treehouse Show, we discuss what happens when European soccer fans, rental cars, Texas highways, and DFW traffic all collide. We already complain about California drivers—how are visitors from around the world going to handle I-35, LBJ, and the daily madness of Metroplex traffic?We also celebrate some long-overdue good news in Trey's life after a rough couple of months filled with loss, heartbreak, and bad luck.

US 30-year Treasury yields just hit 5.2% — the highest level since July 2007. UK gilt yields are at levels not seen since 1998. Japanese bond yields are at record highs. Something is happening in global bond markets, and it's not just about inflation.In this video I explain what's driving the global rise in long-term borrowing costs, why the era of free money is probably over, and what fiscal dominance means for central bank independence. I cover the history of US presidents fighting with the Federal Reserve — including LBJ shoving his Fed Chair against a wall — the 1970s UK economic collapse, the Liz Truss mini-budget crisis, the role of private credit and off-balance-sheet SPVs in financing the AI boom, and what all of this means for the new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Bill Press interviews USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page about her book, "The Queen and Her Presidents," exploring how Queen Elizabeth II helped sustain the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” through soft power over her 70-year reign. Page recounts the Queen's meetings with 13 sitting U.S. presidents (plus Herbert Hoover and pre-presidency LBJ), including Truman steadying a nervous young Princess Elizabeth; her reverence for Eisenhower; a complicated early dynamic with the Kennedys; LBJ's refusal to visit amid Vietnam tensions; Nixon's fascination with royal pageantry and his thwarted desire for a state dinner during Watergate; Reagan's bond with her over horses and later knighthood; the “talking hat” mishap with George H.W. Bush; Clinton-era distrust over British file searches; George W. Bush's teasing cowboy-boot moment; the Obama-Michelle protocol “touch” incident; and Trump pressing her about her favorite president. Page argues the Queen, highly briefed and shrewd, quietly smoothed crises (Suez, Ghana, Falklands) and preserved long-term ties.Get "The Queen and Her Presidents" book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-queen-and-her-presidents-the-hidden-hand-that-shaped-history-susan-page/065fc3604a68c142?ean=9780063397392&next=tSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Day in Legal History: Abe Fortas Resigns SCOTUSOn May 15, 1969, Justice Abe Fortas resigned from the United States Supreme Court, becoming the first justice to leave the Court under the threat of impeachment. Fortas had been appointed to the Court in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, a close friend and political ally. His reputation had already been damaged in 1968, when Johnson tried to elevate him to Chief Justice and the nomination failed after senators criticized his outside income and ties to the president. The controversy deepened when it became public that Fortas had accepted a financial arrangement from the family foundation of Louis Wolfson, a financier who was later convicted of securities violations. Although Fortas returned the money, the arrangement created the appearance that a sitting Supreme Court justice might be financially entangled with someone who had legal troubles. That appearance alone was enough to cause a major crisis for the Court's legitimacy.Members of Congress began discussing impeachment, and Fortas ultimately resigned before a formal impeachment process could remove him. His departure became an important example of how judicial ethics are not limited to actual corruption, but also include conduct that undermines public confidence in judicial independence. The episode also showed the tension between life tenure and accountability for federal judges. Article III judges are protected from political pressure through lifetime appointments, but they can still face removal through impeachment for serious misconduct.Fortas's resignation left a lasting mark on debates over Supreme Court ethics, outside income, recusals, and financial disclosure. More than fifty years later, the Fortas controversy is still cited when questions arise about whether Supreme Court justices should follow clearer and more enforceable ethics rules.Closing arguments ended Thursday in Elon Musk's federal trial against OpenAI, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Microsoft, with the case now headed to a nine-member jury. Musk's lawyer argued that OpenAI violated its charitable mission by shifting assets, employees, and value from its nonprofit structure into a for-profit enterprise now worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He focused heavily on Altman's credibility, telling jurors that OpenAI's defense depends on believing Altman and pointing to testimony and documents that Musk says show dishonesty, conflicts, and self-enrichment. Musk's side also attacked Brockman's large equity stake and cited old journal entries as evidence that OpenAI insiders were thinking about personal wealth while controlling a nonprofit mission. Microsoft was portrayed by Musk's team as helping the alleged breach by investing billions and gaining major access to OpenAI's intellectual property and business structure. OpenAI's lawyers responded that Musk's claims are late, unsupported, and driven by his status as a competitor rather than by concern for charitable law. They argued Musk's donations were not legally restricted gifts, that he once sought control of OpenAI himself, and that he did not object to earlier restructuring documents. OpenAI also emphasized that the nonprofit remains in control and now holds a stake worth roughly $200 billion, which its lawyers described as enormous value created for the charity, not stolen from it. Microsoft's lawyer argued the company did not know of any specific conditions on Musk's donations and was not involved in the core events Musk complains about. In rebuttal, Musk's lawyer said OpenAI and Microsoft were distracting the jury from documents and texts showing that Musk funded OpenAI based on a specific nonprofit safety mission. The jury is scheduled to begin deliberations Monday.‘Who's Telling The Truth?' Musk-OpenAI Fight Goes To Jury - Law360 UKMusk accused of ‘selective amnesia,' Altman of lying as OpenAI trial nears end | ReutersThe Senate Banking Committee advanced the Clarity Act, a major crypto regulation bill that would set clearer rules for digital assets and define which regulators oversee different parts of the industry. The Republican-led committee approved the bill with support from all Republicans and two Democrats, Senators Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks, giving the measure a better chance of reaching the full Senate. Even so, both Democrats warned they may not support the final version unless negotiations change. The bill is important to the crypto industry because it would help determine when tokens are treated as securities, commodities, or something else, which companies say is necessary for growth and legal certainty. Several Democrats objected that the proposal does not go far enough on anti-money laundering protections and should do more to stop public officials from profiting from crypto ventures. Banks are also fighting part of the bill because they fear crypto companies could use stablecoin rewards to compete with traditional deposits. The dispute led to tense committee negotiations, including a late compromise that Chairman Tim Scott allowed while rejecting some other Democratic amendments. Crypto groups have pushed hard for the legislation after spending heavily to support pro-crypto candidates in 2024. The White House is also backing crypto reform, and the House already passed its version of the Clarity Act last year. Supporters see the committee vote as a milestone after years of work, while critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, warn the bill favors the crypto industry at the expense of consumers, investors, national security, and the financial system. The bill now moves to the full Senate, where lobbying from crypto companies, banks, and consumer-protection advocates is likely to intensify.US Senate committee advances crypto bill in milestone for digital assets | ReutersA federal appeals court in Washington heard arguments over the Trump administration's attempt to revive executive orders targeting four major law firms: Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey. The firms had previously won in lower court, where judges found the orders unconstitutional. The executive orders punished the firms over issues including their legal work, hiring practices, diversity policies, and political connections. They also sought to restrict the firms' lawyers from federal buildings, cancel government contracts held by their clients, and remove security clearances from firm employees. The Justice Department argued that the firms' business relationships and hiring decisions are not protected by the First Amendment, and that courts should not second-guess presidential decisions involving national security. Judges on the D.C. Circuit appeared skeptical of the administration's broad view of presidential authority, especially the claim that security clearance decisions are unreviewable even when allegedly made for improper reasons. Paul Clement, arguing for the firms, said the orders threatened the First Amendment and the ability of lawyers to represent unpopular clients without government retaliation. He warned that accepting the administration's theory could allow presidents to punish lawyers or firms based on political affiliation. Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, seemed more receptive to the administration's argument that courts have limited power to review security clearance decisions. The case is part of a broader fight over presidential power and whether the government can use executive authority to punish lawyers and firms viewed as political opponents. The appeals court also heard a related case involving lawyer Mark Zaid's security clearance. Any ruling from the D.C. Circuit could eventually be appealed to the Supreme Court.US appeals court questions Trump's push to punish major law firms | Reuters This is a public episode.

Doris Kearns Goodwin is one of America's best known and most popular historians, having told the stories of great American leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Lyndon Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, and others. Now, she delves into her own life and the time she spent with her late husband, Richard Goodwin, to draw out fresh perspectives on many of the central figures of the 1960s. The Goodwins were married for 42 years. Richard Goodwin helped design LBJ's Great Society and was a close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Dorris Kearns was a 23-year-old graduate student when she was selected as a White House Fellow; she would work directly for President Johnson and later assisted on his memoir. The couple saw the momentous policies and movements of the 1960s from the inside, and they debated the achievements and failures of the leaders they served, and discussed just how much progress was made and promises left unfulfilled. Drawing on their lives—not to mention more than 300 boxes of letters, diaries, documents and memorabilia Richard Goodwin had saved for more than five decades—Doris Kearns Goodwin produced her latest book, An Unfinished Love Story. The exploration of those boxes and her shared history with her husband gave them both an opportunity to reassess some of the towering figures of the time: John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy and especially LBJ, who greatly impacted both of their lives. Join us as Doris Kearns Goodwin returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to share her unexpected discoveries, fresh appraisals, and the hope that the youth of today will carry forward “this unfinished love story with America.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Historian and New York Times bestselling author Jemar Tisby joins Mark Labberton to confront the Supreme Court's 6–3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which has eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and reopened the door to racial gerrymandering across the South. Recorded in the immediate aftermath, the conversation traces the long arc from the Three-Fifths Clause and Dred Scott through Selma to this hour. "This has landed in the black community harder and heavier than a lot of what we've seen during the Trump administration." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Tisby reflects on the history of black disenfranchisement, the cynicism of colorblind jurisprudence, and what remains of multiracial democracy in America. Together they discuss how the legal architecture of Jim Crow reemerges under neutral language, John Roberts's decades-long campaign against the Voting Rights Act, Justice Kagan's umbrella analogy, the suspension of Louisiana's primary, the black church's response, and why this midterm may be the country's last political chance. Episode Highlights "This has landed in the black community harder and heavier than a lot of what we've seen during the Trump administration, and that's saying a lot." "It boggles the mind that folks sitting on the highest court in the land who have been to all these Ivy League schools, have literally decades of experience, can get it so wrong and stand so arrogantly on such faulty reasoning." "Colorblindness only works if you're starting from a level playing field." "These are not good-faith actors, not people wanting a representative democracy, but people wanting to consolidate power, which we call minority rule." "If you can't win on the merits of what you believe, then you have to rig the system so that no one can get you out of office." About Jemar Tisby Jemar Tisby is a New York Times bestselling author, historian, speaker, and professor of history at Simmons College of Kentucky, a historically black college in Louisville.
