Podcast appearances and mentions of Nicholas Kristof

Nicolle Wallace on Trump's controversial pardons for political allies, the alarming spike in threats against federal judges, and another legal setback for Trump in his targeting of law firms. Joined by: Harry Litman, Elizabeth Oyer, Alex Wagner, Nicholas Kristof, Judge J. Michael Luttig, Judge Esther Salas, and Marc Elias.

Eva Hausman, Silent  co-founder of the Mothers' Day Movement (MDM) joins to remind us that $35B are spent on Mother's Day and what if for the cost of a bouquet of flowers we could change a life? Eva's interest in starting this organization grew out of a column in The New York Times by Nicholas Kristof, where he made the case for moving the apostrophe in Mother's Day so it honors not just one mother, but underserved mothers everywhere. It advocates shifting a portion of Mother's Day gift giving to a carefully selected charity each year in honor of a woman or person they love. Joining Eva is Karen Olson, founder and CEO emeritus of Family Promise, a national non-profit organization. Karen has dedicated her life to transforming the futures of homeless and low-income families. Family Promise is the 2025 Mothers' Day Movement beneficiary.  Since 2011, MDM has raised over $1 million, in maternal health, education, hunger, clean water, and human trafficking, and has been featured in The New York Times, Ms. Magazine, and NPR.Here are the topics we covered:0:00 Introductions2:47 MDM Mission4:57 MDM Impact 6:20 Family Promise Choice7:33 Family Promise Mission12:16 Misconceptions about Homelessness13:29 Homelessness Trends15:00 MDM Contribution to Beneficiary16:50 Advice 20-Something SelfMemorable Quotes“It's time to move the apostrophe so that it becomes not just Mother's Day honoring a single mother but Mothers' Day, an occasion to try and help mothers around the globe as well."  Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times “With cutback in programs, homelessness will increase. When we cut food programs and money for housing, people will end up in the streets.” Karen Olson“Engage in what you believe in.” U.S. Sen. Elissa SlotkinHere are the 3 Takeaways: For the price of a bouquet of flowers, we can save a life by donating to MDM. Can you believe that $35 Billion was spent in the US on Mother's Day last year?! 100% of your donation to MDM goes towards helping Family Promise achieve their mission and the 2.5 million children in the United States who experience homelessness. Founded in 1988, Family Promise is the nation's leading organization addressing the crisis of homelessness for families with children. With nearly 200 sites across the country, Family Promise leverages local assets, implements real solutions, and advocates for families facing homelessness. As mentioned in the episode:Donation Link Mothers' Day Movement 2025 Family Promise campaign: https://www.mothersdaymovement.org/2025-family-promiseMore about Eva:Born in 1943 in Bridgeport, CT to Jewish refugee parents from Nazi Germany, Eva was privileged to be the only member of my family to be born in the United States a country her parents adored. Her volunteer activities are many and varied but are primarily related to diversity, civil rights and defending against discrimination. She served on the CT board of the Anti-Defamation League for the last 30 years and received multiple awards for her service. More about Karen:Karen's journey began in the mid-1980s when she first committed herself to the noble cause of advocacy for the disenfranchised and homeless.  Over the years, Karen's efforts have been recognized including President George H. Bush honoring her with the prestigious Annual Points of Light Award, and the New Jersey Governor's Pride Award recognizing Karen's remarkable social service contributions. Ways you can contact Mothers' Day Movement and Family Promise:eMailinfo@mothersdaymovement.orgWebsites www.mothersdaymovement.orghttps://familypromise.org/IG:https://www.instagram.com/mothersdaymovementmdm/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/mothersdaymovementMDMWays to reach Yo:eMail: yo@yocanny.com Public FB group: Girl, Take the Lead!https://www.facebook.com/groups/272025931481748/?ref=shareLinktr.ee/yocannyIG:https://www.instagram.com/yocanny LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/yocanny/

There are seasons when everything feels a bit undone. A marriage ends. A child grows up. A job shifts. And suddenly, we’re no longer who we were…and not yet who we’ll become. Melinda French Gates has lived through some of life’s biggest transitions. In this conversation, she reflects on what it means to stay open when life is changing—quietly or all at once. To hold your own hand when everything feels uncertain. To lean on the people who tell you the truth. And to remember that good enough is more than just survival—it can be a way forward. If you’re in the middle of something—grief, reinvention, or a season that feels like wandering—this conversation is a soft place to land. In this conversation, Kate and Melinda discuss: Why transitions—chosen or not—ask us to be braver than we feel How to listen to the inner voice that won’t go quiet The beauty of being a “good enough” parent, partner, or person Why our friendships might be the most sacred thing we have What it means to be held—by community, by love, by something even bigger If you liked this episode, you’ll also love: Nicholas Kristof, "Hope is a Muscle" Sharon McMahon, "Drops Make an Ocean" Gregory Boyle, "The Case for Hope" Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

Two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Nicholas Kristof (opinion columnist, the New York Times) reflects on his career of reporting from the front lines of injustice and human suffering, discussing hope, human resilience, and the urgency of responding to global injustice. An advocate for empathy-driven journalism that holds power accountable and communicates the stories of the most vulnerable, Kristof joins Mark Labberton in this episode to discuss his life's work of reporting from the world's most troubled regions—from Gaza to Congo, from rural Oregon to global centres of power. Known for his unsparing storytelling and deep empathy, Kristof shares the family roots and personal convictions that have shaped his lifelong pursuit of justice and hope. They also explore how despair and progress coexist, the role of faith and empathy in healing, and how local acts of courage can ripple globally. Grounded in gritty realism, but inspired by everyday heroes, Kristof invites us to resist numbness and embrace a hope that fights to make a difference. Stories from Gaza, Congo, Pakistan, and beyond Balancing heartbreak and hope in humanitarian reporting Why empathy must be cultivated and practiced The global impact of Christian activism and its complexities Episode Highlights “Side by side with the worst of humanity, you find the very best.” “We focus so much on all that is going wrong, that we leave people feeling numb and that it's hopeless … but people don't want to get engaged in things that are hopeless.” “Empathy is something that, like a muscle, can be nurtured.” “The worst kinds of evil and the greatest acts of courage are often just one decision apart.” “We are an amazing species—if we just get our act together.” “You can be sex positive and rape negative. I don't think there's an inconsistency there.” About Nicholas Kristof Nicholas Kristof is a two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, and is an opinion columnist for the New York Times, **where he was previously bureau chief in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo. Born, raised, and still working from his rural Oregon home, Yamhill, he is a graduate of Harvard and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He is the co-author, with his wife Sheryl WuDunn, of five previous books: Tightrope, A Path Appears, Half the Sky, Thunder from the East, and China Wakes. In 2024, he published a memoir, *Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life.* Books by Nicholas Kristof Tightrope A Path Appears Half the Sky Thunder from the East China Wakes Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life Helpful Resources International Justice Mission Dr. Denis Mukwege – Nobel Peace Prize PEPFAR: The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Tim Keller's Final Interview with Kristof (NYT) Show Notes A voice of conscience How a global orientation for journalism developed Kristof reflects on his humble roots in Yamhill, Oregon, as the son of two immigrants “My dad was a Armenian refugee from Eastern Europe. His family had spied on the Nazis during World War II. They got caught. Some were executed by the Nazis, others were executed by the Soviet communists, and my dad was very lucky to make it out alive and was sponsored by a family in the US in 1952.” “I think that one fundamental mistake that bleeding hearts make, whether they're bleeding hearts in journalism or in the non-profit community or in advocacy, is that we focus so much on all that is going wrong that we leave people feeling numb and feeling that it's hopeless, so there's no point in engaging. And there's pretty good evidence from social-psychology experiments that people don't want to get engaged in things that are hopeless. They want to make a difference. And so I think that we need to both acknowledge all the challenges we face but also remind people that there can be a better outcome if they put their shoulder to the wheel.” Extraordinary changes for justice and what's going right David Brooks: “A deeply flawed country that also managed to do good in the world.” ”It just breaks my heart that kids are dying unnecessarily.” On losing PEPFAR foreign aid: “I hope that this damage can be repaired and that bleeding hearts of the left and the right can work together to try to help restore some of these initiatives.” The tragedies that followed from dismantling USAID Kristof's book Chasing Hope “The fact is that I've seen some terrible things, and I think I may have a mild case of PTSD from, you know, seeing too much.” Nicholas Kristof on Gaza: “I don't see Israel and Hamas as morally equivalent, but I absolutely see an Israeli child, a Palestinian child, and an American child as moral equivalents.  And we don't treat them that way.” “What human beings share is that when terrible things happen, some people turn into psychopaths and sociopaths, and other people turn into heroes.” Cowardice and malevolent tendencies Empathy can be nurtured Children dying without anti-retroviral drugs in South Sudan Empathy Project in Canada Mass literature to inspire perspective taking Uncle Tom's Cabin Black Beauty and animal rights/well-being Kristof's run for Oregon governor Eastern Congo and UNICEF “A child is raped every thirty minutes in Eastern Congo.” Dr. Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize laureate treating women brutally injured by militia rape in Bukavu, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Small gestures of compassion as an empathy grower for local communities “One of the lessons I think of Congo is that violence can be and inhumanity can be terribly contagious.” Genocide in Rwanda in 1994 The global sex-trafficking crisis “We don't have the moral authority to tell other countries to do better unless we clean up our own act.” The American sex-trafficking crisis: systemic failures such as foster care pipelines into trafficking “There are no statistics, but I think it's plausible that a girl in foster care is more likely to emerge to be trafficked than she is to graduate from a four-year college.” American sex-trafficking practices by PornHub and X-Videos: “Their business model is monetizing kids.” “You can be sex positive and rape negative. I don't think there's an inconsistency there, and I, I think we've just blurred that too often.” Christianity's disappointing response to injustice Nicholas Kristof's engagement with the activism and theology of the Christian church William Wilberforce's anti-slavery movement in the 1780s President Bush's establishment of PEPFAR in 2003: “This incredible program to reduce the burden of AIDS that has saved 26 million lives so far. It's the most important program of any country in my adult lifetime in terms of saving lives.” “Evangelicals are very good in terms of tithing and donating money to good causes, but they've often opposed government programs  that would create opportunity and address these problems.” “Liberals are personally stingy, but much more supportive of government programs that that make a difference.” Criticizing the dismantling of global aid programs like USAID: “How can you read the Gospels and think this is good?” “I think being part of a religious community has led people to do good works together.” Christian advocacy for freedom of religion Kristof on scripture and belief: “We read the Bible and develop our religious views, and I think so often just reflects our priors rather than what the text says.” A closing example of hope: The Afghan war “We are an amazing species if we just get our act together.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote a column proclaiming that "America Is Not Made for People Who Pee." It hit a nerve. People responded with stories that all seemed to agree with him. So, why don't we complain about locked doors, long lines (for women), or the lack of a public toilet where one should be? Lezlie Lowe might say that we don't like to talk about bodily functions that are perceived as kind of, well, gross. This hour, we talk about public toilets, including one that people like.

“If a person is entrusted to care for a building and decides to tear it down, there's a moral imperative to disclose whether there are people inside. There are 20.6 million people and 566,000 children living inside PEPFAR.” PEPFAR is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. And as of March 25, 2025, its congressional reauthorization has expired. For more than two decades, its website states, “the U.S. government has invested over $110 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history—saving 26 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and accelerating progress toward controlling the global HIV/AIDS pandemic in more than 50 countries.” Now, some estimate that over 20 million people will lose access to antiretroviral drugs, which may result in up to 1,650,000 deaths over the coming year. In this episode, Mark Labberton speaks with Mindy Belz, an award-winning journalist and longtime war correspondent, to explore the urgent moral and humanitarian implications of PEPFAR's uncertain future. Drawing on Belz's deep reporting experience in conflict zones and her time covering global health efforts, their conversation traces the remarkable legacy of the U.S. government's investment in HIV/AIDS relief, the stakes of congressional inaction, and the broader questions this crisis raises about American moral leadership, Christian charity, and global responsibility. Together they discuss: Mindy Belz's background as a journalist and war correspondent The significance of PEPFAR in the global battle against HIV/AIDS The pivotal leadership role the U.S. government has played in supporting AIDS relief efforts for the past two decades The devastating impact that losing PEPFAR would have on human life around the world, particularly in Africa And, perspectives on charity, moral conscience, and faith in American Christianity Helpful Links mindybelz.com Mindy's Article about PEPFAR: “1,650,000: How killing a global program to fight HIV/AIDS kills”: “PEPFAR contracts ended under Trump mean 20 million people on treatment now face HIV disease again. Without more reinstatements that could lead to a death toll of 1.6 million in a year's time.” About PEPFAR, the “President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief”: Through PEPFAR, the U.S. government has invested over $110 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history – saving 26 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and accelerating progress toward controlling the global HIV/AIDS pandemic in more than 50 countries.

Show Notes Mindy Belz: A Journalist in the Trenches Mindy Belz and her career at World Magazine Mindy's coverage of the AIDS pandemic in East Africa and the war in Sudan The rise of Islamic extremism, Al-Quaeda, and crossing the Tigris into Iraq Her early experiences in journalism and what drew her to war reporting How she came to report from the Middle East and other conflict zones The challenges Mindy faced as a woman journalist “We've all experienced some of the conflict in the world. We've all experienced some terrorism and violence … this is a part of life in a broken and fallen world, and so learning from women, from men, from children incredible resilience in the face of terrible breakdowns is that I just consider a real privilege of my work.” Working with a Sudanese NGO—finding starving people, barely surviving “For Americans, we always get to walk away. I'm really aware in whatever hard situation I'm in, there's little voice at the back of my brain that's saying, ‘Don't forget you get to go home.'” What is PEPFAR? “ President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief,” developed by George W. Bush in 2003 Trendsetting program to battle HIV/AIDS Anti-viral drug program to prevent the spread (but not cure) the disease “We still don't have a real cure for HIV.” “You have 20 million people who are currently taking antiretroviral drugs that are funded under PEPFAR and most of those people just suddenly could not have access to their medicine and, and that means that we are watching even now the disease grow.” “The Trump administration has basically shuttered the program and they have done so without the oversight of Congress.” Nicholas Kristof's NYT March 15 article estimates that 1.6 million people could die over the next year. Link: “Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn't True.” “The scale of the devastation is mind-bending.” What can we do? “Congress is not exercising its oversight responsibilities right now.” “If a person is entrusted to care for a building and decides to tear it down, there's a moral imperative to disclose whether there are people inside. There are 20.6 million people and 566,000 children living inside PEPFAR.” What is the role of our government? “I've also seen PEPFAR working and working incredibly. I routinely and in lifesaving ways.” Understanding moral conscience “We are needing to call our nation not to a Christian identity, which I think is the, the false attempt of Christian nationalism, but to a moral identity. That people of faith, little faith, no faith, other faiths, can enter into and share. And I think some element of that has been operational in the United States for a very long time. And now all of that is being dismantled and being labeled, as you say, by a really cheap word like charity, as though there's no wider frame than simply compassionate sentimentality, as opposed to something that's really taking the moral realities of the world and all of their urgency seriously. And not pretending that we need to be (as we've sometimes tried to be as a nation) the healer of the nations, but to say that we should actually be a force for taking these issues with great national seriousness, and not just repudiating it because it's not inside the boundaries of our own country.” “Use the influence and the economic force of the United States to fund local programs.” “ We have the resources to go and make a difference in this situation. And by doing that we set an example for others to do it.” “We  have adopted an attitude of scarcity.” The impact and efficacy of antiretroviral drugs to improve the lives of people with HIV/AIDS—”To suddenly cut them off is an act of cruelty.” “This is a system, not just medication.” “If we're suddenly saving $5 billion a year, what is that going to be used for?” ”If these things are all happening by executive decision, and Congress does not have a meaningful role, then essentially the people are cut out of the conversation.” “People who become sicker with HIV will become more likely to have tuberculosis, more likely to be suffering from other diseases than side effects of the virus itself.” Where Is God in All of This? “It's a dangerous world. Go anyway.” “We have to trust that the hand of God is there and that it will meet us in the midst of those hard situations.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

From New York Times columnist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof shares what he's learned from a life in journalism. (This episode first aired in September 2024.) 

Dans le New York Times, plusieurs chroniqueurs s'interrogent sur la position des démocrates face à Donald Trump, une position « faible » selon le quotidien. ⇒ Le New York Times. Les chroniqueurs mettent en lumière les faiblesses du leadership démocrate face à la menace représentée par Donald Trump. La sociologue Zeynep Tufekci critique le manque de cohérence entre le discours alarmiste des démocrates et leurs actions, notamment leur gestion maladroite de la candidature de Joe Biden en 2024. Selon elle, l'incapacité des responsables démocrates à reconnaître la gravité de la situation et à structurer une opposition efficace a empêché une véritable résistance face à Donald Trump. Ce vide de leadership compromet aujourd'hui la capacité du parti à s'organiser et d'élaborer une stratégie contre le président.S'occuper des préoccupations concrètes des Américains ? Le chroniqueur Nicholas Kristof de son côté souligne un autre problème : les démocrates insistent sur la défense de la démocratie, mais ce n'est pas un argument qui touche suffisamment les électeurs indécis. Pour convaincre, il faut s'adresser aux préoccupations concrètes des citoyens, comme le coût de la vie ou l'accès aux services publics. Le journaliste illustre son propos avec un exemple dans l'État d'Oregon, où une famille est devenue critique envers de Donald Trump après avoir rencontré des difficultés avec la Sécurité sociale. Selon lui, c'est ce type de problèmes du quotidien qui mobilise réellement les électeurs.La journaliste Masha Gessen nuance cette analyse et explique que l'intérêt personnel ne se limite pas aux aspects économiques. Elle évoque le concept de « deep story », une vision identitaire qui structure le vote des électeurs. Il ne suffit pas d'alerter sur une dérive autoritaire ; il faut proposer un récit fédérateur qui lie les préoccupations économiques aux atteintes aux droits fondamentaux. Elle prend l'exemple du président Zelensky en Ukraine, et estime qu'un bon dirigeant devrait présenter une vision collective et mobiliser les électeurs autour d'une cause qui dépasse leurs intérêts immédiats, explique-t-elle au New York Times.La situation sécuritaire continue de se dégrader en Haïti C'est le thème de l'éditorial de Frantz Duval dans le Nouvelliste. La situation à Port-au-Prince continue de se détériorer alors que les habitants de plusieurs quartiers fuient face à l'avancée des gangs, écrit-il. Deprez, Pacot, Debussy et d'autres zones sont en proie à un exode massif, tandis que des quartiers comme Turgeau et Pétion-Ville s'inquiètent de la propagation de la violence. Pillages et incendies rythment désormais le quotidien, et chaque jour sans affrontement est perçu comme le prélude à une nouvelle vague de chaos. L'État, en recul, semble incapable de rétablir l'ordre, renforçant un sentiment de délaissement total, selon le Nouvelliste. Le journal rappelle que le président du Conseil Présidentiel de Transition (CPT) s'est rendu hier en Jamaïque pour une rencontre avec le secrétaire d'État américain Marco Rubio, mais aucune annonce concrète n'en est ressortie.La mort d'un policier kenyan de la MMAS Pour la deuxième fois en quelques semaines, un policier kenyan de la Mission multinationale d'appui à la sécurité en Haïti (MMAS) a trouvé la mort. Il est tombé dans une embuscade tendue par les gangs dans le département de l'Artibonite. Les groupes criminels ont aussi mis en scène leur opération macabre. Un récit de Vincent SouriauMarco Rubio lance un avertissement au Venezuela au sujet du Guyana   L'avertissement le plus sévère à ce jour contre le Venezuela sur ce sujet, estime le journal guyanais Stabroek News. « Si Caracas attaquait le Guyana ou les infrastructures d'ExxonMobil dans l'océan Atlantique, les conséquences seraient désastreuses », a déclaré Marco Rubio, à une question du journal. Des propos qui ont provoqué une réaction immédiate du président vénézuélien. C'est à lire sur le site de Telesur. Nicolás Maduro a rejeté les déclarations du secrétaire d'État américain, les qualifiant de tentative d'intimidation impériale, tout en accusant Marco Rubio de collusion avec l'opposition vénézuélienne. Un sujet qui se partage la Une avec le rapatriement des Vénézuéliens par les autorités américaines. Ce vendredi matin, un avion transportant 178 migrants expulsés des États-Unis, a atterri à Caracas. Ils étaient accueillis par le ministre de l'Intérieur, Diosdado Cabello qui a dénoncé la stigmatisation et de mauvais traitements dont ces migrants auraient été victimes aux États-Unis, peut-on lire dans le journal El Nacional.Journal de la 1re On revient sur le dernier jour de la visite de la ministre déléguée au Tourisme Nathalie Delattre en Martinique.

This Vermont Conversation was originally published on May 15, 2024.Nicholas Kristof has been an eyewitness to some of the most iconic political and social transformations of modern times. As a reporter and columnist for the New York Times for the last four decades, Kristof has been telling searing stories about revolutions, genocides, and the impact of global inequality. His work has garnered the top prizes in journalism, including two Pulitzer Prizes. The first was in 1990 for his coverage of the Tiananmen Square protests in China that he shared with his wife, reporter Sheryl WuDunn, the first Pulitzer awarded to a husband-wife team. They have also co-authored five books.Since 2001, Kristof has been a regular op-ed columnist for the Times. His powerful dispatches about the genocide in Darfur earned him a second Pulitzer in 2006. The former head of the International Rescue Committee said that Kristof's coverage saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Sudan. Kristof has now written a memoir, “Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life.” He tells the story of growing up on a sheep and cherry farm in rural Oregon, and then attending Harvard and Oxford. He continues to focus his reporting on human rights, global health, poverty and gender inequality. In 2021, Kristof left the Times to run for governor of Oregon, but his foray into politics was cut short a few months later when the Oregon Secretary of State ruled that as a result of living and working out of state for years, he did not meet residency requirements. He returned to his job as a columnist for the New York Times.Despite reporting from some of the world's grimmest places, Kristof remains stubbornly optimistic. “One thing you see on the front lines, that I've seen, is that there has been a real arc of both material and moral progress, and that has left a deep impression on me,” he said. “Side by side with the worst of humanity, you end up encountering the best.”Kristof has seen authoritarian regimes up close, only to come home to see authoritarianism creeping into American politics. Is he worried about the fate of democracy in the U.S.? “It's not a binary question, but a spectrum,” he replied. “I don't think that the U.S. will become North Korea or China or Russia. But could we become Hungary? Or could we become Poland under the previous government? I think absolutely. I worry about political violence … DOJ, the military could all be heavily politicized, civil service. I worry about all that. I don't think that I will be sentenced to Guantanamo. But could there be real impairment of democracy, of governance of freedoms? Absolutely. And I, you know, I've seen that in other countries.”Kristof continues to report on human rights abuses and repression, but he insists that he is guided by hope. “I think of despair as sometimes just paralyzing, while hope can be empowering.”

Tonight on The Last Word: Democrats hold town halls in swing districts. Also, voters pack “empty chair” town halls to voice their anger when GOP Congress members skip out. Plus, Donald Trump escalates his fight with the federal courts. And USAID cuts cause more disease and starvation in Africa. Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Dave Min, Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski, Ezra Levin, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, and Nicholas Kristof join Ali Velshi.

President Trump and his allies' increasingly contentious rhetoric towards America's judiciary is ramping up fears of an historic clash that could have dire consequences for democracy, while Trump's assault against the freedom and independence of America's colleges and universities is taking us down a dangerous path that will cost us all

Tonight on The Last Word: Trump fires the USAID Inspector General after a critical report. Plus, concerns grow that the Trump administration won't comply with the courts. Also, Fmr. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland announces her run for governor of New Mexico. Nicholas Kristof, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, David Super, also join Lawrence O'Donnell.

The episode with two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times op-ed columnist Nick Kristof focused on his recent inspirational and hope-filled book, "Chasing Hope." The conversation began with Kristof speaking to Michael Krasny about the effects on him and the moral challenges he faced covering Tiananmen Square, as well as the lessons he gleaned from his early reporter's work in Cambodia and the U.S. He opined on the fight for democracy and weighed the effect on him of the oppression and suffering of children.Krasny then brought up the role and impact of Kristof's parents, and Kristof spoke of compassion fatigue and what he believes needs to be done. He emphasized the need for more stories that call attention to humanitarian crises and the public good. The two then spoke of journalism as an act of hope and discussed contrasts between former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and President-elect Donald Trump, as well as Kristof's past decision to run for Governor of Oregon.When Krasny asked Kristof about his views on race versus class and New York Times coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Kristof spoke about rising anti-Semitism, the meaning of the word genocide, and his feelings of frustration at the slow pace of change despite remarkable progress on many fronts. The conversation turned to journalistic ethics, human rights, and Kristof's wife Sheryl's Chinese ancestry.Kristof also addressed the concept of "white saviors" and answered a listener's question about the effect of Artificial Intelligence. The two then returned to further consideration of journalistic ethics, Janet Malcolm, journalists as storytellers, Tiananmen Square, and Gaza. Kristof spoke of making the ineffable effable and of David Brooks' dichotomy of a resume versus a eulogy. It was a brilliant and enlightening conversation with one of America's leading journalists.

In this powerful and deeply important episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis discuss the far-reaching influence of pornography on individuals, relationships, and society. The episode reveals shocking statistics about the average age of first exposure—11 years old—and explores the lasting psychological, emotional, and relational consequences for both children and adults. The conversation dives into critical issues, including the normalization of violence in mainstream pornography, the grooming of children, and the internalized shame that fuels secrecy and addiction.   The hosts also address societal challenges such as the inadequacy of filtering systems, the need for stronger legislative action like age-verification laws, and the responsibility of parents and communities to educate and protect children. Through compelling stories and clinical insights, they illustrate the profound impact of pornography on mental health, self-perception, and relationships.   The episode concludes with an inspiring message of hope and recovery. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn emphasize the transformative power of healing, self-awareness, and relational connection. They encourage listeners to take personal and collective action to safeguard future generations and support those seeking recovery and true intimacy.   Resources Discussed:   1.

This episode from 2023 is one of our all-time listener favorites. We're sharing it again for anyone who may have missed it, or could do with a refresher, especially at the holiday season! Surveys show feelings of sadness and despair peaked in 2023. So as we look to the new year, it's understandable why any of us might be feeling pessimistic, even hopeless. But these feelings aren't written in stone. We always have a choice. It's in these darkest of times, when all feels lost, that hope helps us find our way … not just to heal ourselves, but also the world around us.On this episode, we'll talk with the Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, about how he remains motivated and hopeful, even while covering some of the most tragic events in recent history. And he'll offer a little advice for ways we can all rise above despair.And we'll talk with Roshi Joan Halifax — ecologist, civil rights activist, hospice caregiver, and founder of the Upaya Zen Center — about the Buddhist-informed notion of wise hope, the equanimity it can bring, and the fierce compassion it can unleash.Nicholas Kristof is the author of the  book Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life.

Originally recorded in December 2020, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health Co-Director Allison Barlow discuss the struggle for social justice in Native American communities.“The Bureau of Indian Education schools only have a 53% high school graduation rate! We are failing them way before they fail us,” suggests Kristof. “One of the greatest prides for parents on a Native reservation is to celebrate their child's high school graduation. If children there aren't graduating from high school, it's because of generations of trauma on top of a really ineffective education system,” Barlow says. “We as a country have had this narrative that when people struggle, it's because of a lack of personal responsibility and bad choices. When a child born in a certain county has a life expectancy shorter than that of Cambodia, that's not because that infant is making a bad choice. It's because we as a society are making bad choices about healthcare, education and jobs,” adds Kristof.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We discuss a nationwide shift to the right and the voters who made a Trump victory possible. Plus, the Fed cut interest rates again as inflation approaches their target of 2%. And, what role the economy played in the election. George Conway, Dave Wasserman, Maria Teresa Kumar, Erik Schatzker, Peter Goodman, and Nicholas Kristof join the 11th Hour this Thursday.

This week we published an exclusive interview with Nicholas Kristof, an award-winning New York Times columnist. He spoke about what he saw in Sudan and the global community's failure to respond to one of the world's largest humanitarian crises — as the conflict in Gaza overshadows other crises around the world. As public attention wanes in the face of new crises, we question whether crisis fatigue is hindering humanitarian aid from reaching those in dire need. We also discussed a study that revealed European companies — including Siemens, BioNTech SE, Möller Group, and SUEZ — are benefiting from investments in over 60% of the EU Global Gateway projects examined. We dig into the study's details and whether Europe is doing enough to channel funds to the Global South and meet the needs of local communities. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, it appears as though the Department for International Development — which was merged with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 2020 — will not be restored anytime soon. We learned that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer rejected top-level advice that he could restore a separate U.K. aid department with “negligible” cost and disruption, according to a new book by former senior development officials.

Sometimes you really need someone to believe that you are good. Unshakably good. Over 30 years ago, Father Greg Boyle started working with gang members in Los Angeles through Homeboy Industries. The lessons that he learns from whom he calls “homies” are contagious. Every day, they teach him about what it means to heal, to belong to one another, to practice compassion, and to relearn how to feel good again to God and others. These are just some of the transcendent truths that he has to share with us today. In this conversation, Kate and Greg discuss: what it means to see unshakable goodness in others what it would mean for our carceral system if we sought to heal instead of punish how can we have a greater capacity for joy If you liked this episode, you'll also love:  Bryan Stevenson on rethinking what “justice” means Francis Collins on treating people kindly and with love Nicholas Kristof on hope as a muscle   Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

The 2020 elections brought in a wave of progressive politicians from mayors to district attorneys. But many of those leaders were subjected to recalls or even ousted from office. In a piece for the New York Times, columnist Nicholas Kristof, who recently ran for governor of Oregon, offered this rejoinder to critics of liberals running cities struggling with rising crime and homelessness: “[T]he problem isn't with liberalism. It's with West Coast liberalism.” According to Kristof, in governance, progressives were valuing intentions over outcomes. As San Francisco prepares to elect its next mayor, and as Oakland decides whether to recall theirs, we launch a new Forum series examining progressive politics in our region. To kick off this series, we talk to experts about the state of progressive politics and hear from you: How do you feel about progressivism? What has it done right? What has it done wrong? Guests: Alicia John-Baptiste, president and CEO, SPUR Jessica Trounstine, centennial chair and professor of political science, Vanderbilt University; author, "Segregation by Design: Local Politics and Inequality in American Cities" and "Political Monopolies in American Cities: The Rise and Fall of Bosses and Reformers." Nithya Raman, urban planner, member of LA City Council, representing district 4

How can we talk about poverty and early relational health so people will listen? How can you get people to care about public issues that seem insurmountable (but aren't)? Nicholas Kristof, op-ed columnist for The New York Times, joins us to talk about strategies for how to talk about difficult subjects so people will listen (hint: it starts with a story.)

Earlier this year, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof argued that Portland's tradition of progressive politics isn't getting us the results we need, as the city struggles with a number of social problems. And it's not just Portland: He says all liberal West Coast cities are facing more social ills than their more pragmatic East Coast counterparts. Today, we're asking Kristof to explain his diagnosis of Portland's problems, and what he thinks the West Coast's challenges mean for progressive politics nationwide.

There is nothing more loathsome to the average upper-crust liberal intellectual than an American holding Donald Trump's book in one arm and the Bible in the other. At least, that's what the stock image on Matt Bai's column in the Washington Post tells us.Matt Bai — political columnist and one-time screenwriter for a DOA film about Gary Hart called The Front Runner — is going to give the Left all the justification it needs to continue their ongoing hate campaign against ordinary Americans.He writes:But now? After the violent sacking of the Capitol? After Trump's promise to behave like a dictator (well, okay, I guess if it's only for a day)? After eight years of bigotry and baseness and flat-out lies?To say that Trump's voters aren't aware of these things, or don't fully comprehend them, or are firmly in the grip of misinformation, is to say that they're simply fools. And I've met way too many rural Americans to believe that. If they're ignorant, then their ignorance, at this point, is willful.It's a rebuttal to a column by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times pleading with the Left to find their humanity when it comes to Trump and MAGA.It isn't enough that Kristof writes:By all means denounce Trump, but don't stereotype and belittle the nearly half of Americans who have sided with him.We can't separate them, argues Bai. If they support Trump then they are the named enemy. They are not worthy of our empathy, at least not until — he hopes — Kamala Harris wins the presidency. Then, they might thaw out and treat them like they belong in the country they love. Don't bet on it. Bai writes:These voters don't support Trump because they labor under some illusion that he's going to rescue their communities — not anymore. They support him because he's willing to blow up the country if it means teaching insufferable intellectuals a lesson, and so are they. It's the same vengeful impulse that leads to autocracy in unequal societies all over the world. It is, at its core, unpatriotic, no matter how many flags you fly, or how many ways you try to rationalize it.Are you starting to see why The Front Runner flopped?The Frontrunner is a rescue operation for Gary Hart's legacy. It was the mean old media, you see, a media that has suddenly grown a conscience because now they don't do their jobs of chasing stories lest they weaken a weak candidate like Gary Hart or Kamala Harris. Instead, they spread propaganda on why America should hate and fear Trump and his supporters lest they be accused of “normalizing” them.The Front Runner was bad for the same reason The Washington Post and the New York Times are unreadable: their bias suffocates any practical purpose they might have otherwise had. It's like spending time with the kid who sits in the front of the class, always raising his hand with the right answer. After a while, you overdose on the sanctimony. This is a public episode.

Today, Nicholas Kristof, the legendary New York Times columnist, shares five big ideas from his new book "Chasing Hope."

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof understands how to hope—especially in the face of despair or disappointment. He has spent his life shining a light on global tragedies like the Tiananmen Square massacre or the genocide in Darfur. And yet, despite all the horrors he has born witness to, he maintains a sense of hard-won optimism. “Hope is a muscle,” he says, and one we can all learn to develop.    In this live conversation, Kate and Nicholas discuss:  How to maintain hope in the year ahead Nicholas' best argument as to why this is the best time to be alive His strategies to seeing pain and courage up close over and over again Why our small actions matter (even when it feels like a drop in the ocean)    If you liked this episode, you'll love:  Bryan Stevenson on justice in the face of unthinkable odds David Fajgenbaum on how hope pulls us forward Sarah Polley on why we should run toward what scares us   Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

John is joined by two-time Pulitzer-prize-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof to chew over the presidential race: from Joe Biden's decision to bow out and the wave of enthusiasm that has greeted Kamala Harris to Bill Clinton's and Barack Obama's speeches at the Democratic convention. They also discuss Kristof's recently published memoir, Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life, the work that Nick is proudest of—on Darfur, global health, and international sex trafficking—and a thought-provoking recent Kristof column arguing that our disparate treatment of dogs and farm animals has no moral basis.

We're not sure that these will work, but they may, and they would really be revolutionary. China is an interesting example of a country that has made remarkable progress on electrification and battery technology. It is still pushing out a ton of carbon, but it has done this for practical reasons—it understands that those are key technologies for the future and whoever figures out how to get electric vehicles done right, whoever figures out how to get battery technology right, the world is going to benefit from their progress in battery technology, just as the world has benefited by having solar panels made in China go up all over the world.”Nicholas D.
