And when it comes to the spiritual side of things, quite a few people seem to fall for various cults, scammers and charlatans.

Cleveland-Cliffs is not just a local household name in Northeast Ohio manufacturing and economic development. It is North America's largest flat-rolled steel producer and the largest supplier of automotive-grade steel in the nation. Since 2014, Lourenco Goncalves has been Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cleveland-Cliffs. Mr. Goncalves successfully led four major company acquisitions beginning with AK Steel in March 2020, followed by the acquisition of ArcelorMittal USA in December 2020, Ferrous Processing and Trading Company in November 2021 and most recently Canadian-based Stelco Holdings Inc. in November 2024.rnrnIn 2023, Cleveland-Cliffs offered to buy Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel in a merger that would have cement Cleveland-Cliffs as the nation's largest steelmaker--bringing more jobs and opportunity to the region. Instead, U.S. Steel rejected the offer in favor of a higher bid from Japanese firm Nippon Steel. President Biden blocked the merger in January, citing national security concerns, specifically the belief that U.S. Steel should remain an American-owned company to support the domestic steel production and strengthen U.S. supply chains. President Trump has also opposed Nippon's acquisition of U.S. Steel.

Short answer is sort of. We're back, it's been a minute and that's kind of been a pattern, for good reason but we'll get to that. We mentioned a few episode ago that the scope and scale of the podcast was likely to change and if you've been a long time listener you've already likely noticed. We've made the decision to keep moving in an even more casual direction that'll honestly look a lot more like this episode in terms of format, what do I mean by that? Really the structure and frequency of our episodes are the things that'll be changing most. We'll be continuing with our kind of sporadic upload schedule for the foreseeable future and our  content will be a lot less comprehensive and a lot more based on what we're watching rather than focusing on a season as a whole. We've had a blast these past 4 years covering anime, and we don't want to hang that up but the reality is as always that things change and this how things shook out. Thank you to all of the folks who've tuned in either for an episode or since the beginning, we're not going away, we'll still be around bullshitting about cartoons from time to time, but it feels worthy of an explanation so there it is. Power Rankings live @tjapod on instagram

In a surprising turn of events, the outgoing Biden administration blocked a $14.9 billion deal for Nippon Steel to acquire US Steel, citing national security concerns. This decision has sparked legal battles, raised diplomatic questions, and left the future of one of America's most iconic companies uncertain. But is this move purely about security, or are there deeper implications for global business? Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega explore the controversial Nippon Steel-US Steel acquisition. They outline the timeline of events, examine the economic and strategic motivations behind the deal, and analyze why the Biden administration ultimately decided to block it. Their discussion also considers the broader implications for foreign investment in the US and how this decision aligns with the country's national security and economic policies. Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include: The history of US Steel and its significance to the American economy. Nippon Steel's motivations for the acquisition and its potential impact on the global steel industry. Real Ice's business strategy, including revenue streams and the potential market for ‘cooling credits. Arguments for and against the acquisition. Do you like what you hear?

Ralph welcomes historian Douglas Brinkley (author of "The Unfinished Presidency: Jimmy Carter's Journey Beyond the White House") as well as journalist and former Carter speechwriter James Fallows to reflect on the life and legacy of the late, great President Jimmy Carter.Douglas Brinkley is the Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University, presidential historian for the New-York Historical Society, trustee of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, and a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. He has authored, co-authored, and edited more than three dozen books on American history, including Silent Spring Revolution: John F. Kennedy, Rachel Carson, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and the Great Environmental Awakening, Rosa Parks: A Life, and The Unfinished Presidency: Jimmy Carter's Journey Beyond the White House.When [Jimmy Carter] came in in January of 1977, he said, “The Democratic Party is an albatross around my neck…” The Southern Democrats that voted for Carter in 1976 in the Senate because of, you know, “he's a fellow Southerner,” they abandoned him. They wanted nothing to do with him.Douglas BrinkleyRalph, I don't know if anyone's already told you this—there's a lot of Carter in yourself. You have a lot of similarities in my mind in the sense that you both work tirelessly, and are brilliant, and you learn the nuts and bolts of an issue and you lean into it, and both of you are known for your integrity and your honesty and your diligence and your duty. The question then becomes: Where did Carter fail? And it's about media and about power within the Democratic Party. Those two things Carter couldn't conquer.Douglas BrinkleyI've just written a column called “Jimmy Carter Was My Last President.” And by that I meant he was my last president—and I believe he was the last president for progressive civic groups as well—because he was the last president to actively open up the federal government to engagement and participation by long politically-excluded American activists. He did this actively. He took our calls. No president since has done that. He invited us to the White House to discuss issues. No president since has done that. And that's what I think has been missing in a lot of the coverage—he really believed in a democratic society.Ralph NaderJames Fallows is a contributing writer at the Atlantic and author of the newsletter Breaking the News. He began writing for the magazine in the mid-1970s, reporting from China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and across the United States and has written hundreds of articles for the publication since then. He's also worked as a public radio commentator, a news magazine editor, and for two years he was President Jimmy Carter's chief speechwriter. He is the author of twelve books, including Who Runs Congress (with Mark Green and David Zwick), The Water Lords, Breaking the News: How the Media Undermine American Democracy, and Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey Into the Heart of America (with Deborah Fallows).Jimmy Carter, for better and worse, had zero national politics experience. That was part of what made him seem refreshing…But Carter, I think one of his limitations in office was that he didn't know what he didn't know, in various realms. This happens to all of us. That's why many outsiders struggle in their first term as president. And so I think yes, he felt as if he could be in command of many things. And I think if he had a second term, he would have been more effective—as Barack Obama was, and others have been.James FallowsI'm really grateful for the chance to talk with you, Ralph, at this moment. As we reflect on a president of the past and prepare for an administration of the future…There are people whose example lasts because they've been consistent over the decades. And I think you, Ralph, in the decades I've known you, that has been the case with you. I think it's the case of Jimmy Carter as well. For people who are consistent and true to themselves, there are times when fortune smiles in their favor and there's times when fortune works against them, but their lasting example endures and can inspire others.James FallowsNews 1/8/251. According to newly released CIA documents, the agency conducted extensive surveillance on Latino – specifically Mexican and Puerto Rican – political activity in the 1960s, ‘70s, and early ‘80s Axios reports. Among other revelations, these documents prove that the agency infiltrated student activist groups “making demands for Mexican American studies classes” – in direct contravention of the CIA's charter, which prohibits domestic activities. The push to disclose the reality of this spying campaign came from Congressmen Jimmy Gomez and Joaquin Castro, whose mother was monitored by the FBI for her Chicano-related activism. Unlike the CIA, the FBI has not released their records.2. Crusading independent journalists Ken Klippenstein and Daniel Boguslaw are out with a new Substack piece regarding Luigi Mangione. This piece, based on a leaked NYPD intelligence report “Warning of ‘a wide range of extremists' that ‘may view Mangione as a martyr,'” due to their “disdain for corporate greed.” These reporters go on to criticize the media for hiding this report from the public, as they have with other key documents in this case. “The report, produced by the NYPD's Intelligence & Counterterrorism Bureau …was blasted out to law enforcement and counterterror partners across the country. It was also leaked to select major media outlets which refused to permit the public to read the document…By withholding documents and unilaterally deciding which portions merit public disclosure, the media is playing god.”3. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has finalized its rule to remove medical bills from credit reports. The bureau reports this rule will wipe $49 billion in medical bills from the credit reports of approximately 15 million Americans. Further, embedded within this rule is a critical provision barring creditors from access to certain medical information; in the past this has allowed these firms to demand borrowers use medical devices up to and including prosthetic limbs as collateral for loans and as assets the creditors could repossess.4. President Biden has blocked a buyout of US Steel by the Japanese firm Nippon Steel, per the Washington Post. His reasons for doing so remain murky. Many in Biden's inner circle argued against this course of action, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. And despite Biden framing this decision as a move to protect the union employees of US Steel, Nippon had promised to honor the United Steelworkers contract and many workers backed the deal. In fact, the only person Biden seemed to be in complete agreement with on this issue is incoming President Donald Trump.5. In September 2023, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued a groundbreaking proposal: a publicly owned grocery store. While such institutions do exist on a very small scale, the Chicago pilot project would have been the largest in the United States by a wide margin. Yet, when the city had the opportunity to apply for Illinois state funds to begin the process of establishing the project, they “passed” according to the Chicago Tribune. Even still, this measure is far sounder than the previous M.O. of Chicago mayors, who lavished public funds on private corporations like Whole Foods to establish or maintain stores in underserved portions of the city, only for those corporations to turn around and shutter those stores once money spigot ran dry.6. On January 5th, the American Historical Association held their annual meeting. Among other proposals, the association voted on a measure to condemn the “scholasticide” being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza. Tim Barker, a PhD candidate at Harvard, reports the AHA passed this measure by a margin of 428 to 88. Along with the condemnation, this measure includes a provision to “form a committee to assist in rebuilding Gaza's educational infrastructure.” The AHA now joins the ever-growing list of organizations slowly coming to grips with the scale of the devastation in Gaza.7. According to Bloomberg, AI data centers are causing potentially massive disruptions to the American power grid. The key problem here is that the huge amounts of power these data centers are gobbling up is resulting in “bad harmonics,” which distort the power that ends up flowing through household appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers. As the piece explains, this harmonic distortion can cause substantial damage to those appliances and even increase the likelihood of electrical fires and blackouts. This issue is a perfect illustration of how tech industry greed is impacting consumers, even those who have nothing to do with their business.8. The Department of Housing and Urban Development reports homelessness increased by over 18% in 2024, per AP. HUD attributes this spike to a dearth of affordable housing, as well as the proliferation of natural disasters. In total, HUD estimates around 770,000 Americans are homeless, though that does not include “those staying with friends or family because they do not have a place of their own.” More granular data is even more appalling; family homelessness, for example, grew by 40%. Homelessness grew by 12% in 2023.9. On January 7th, Public Citizen announced that they have launched a new tracker to “watchdog federal investigations and cases against alleged corporate criminals…that are at risk of being abandoned, weakened, or scaled back under the Trump administration.” This tracker includes 237 investigations, nearly one third of which involve companies with known ties with the Trump administration. These companies include Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Bank of America, Coinbase, Ford, Tesla, Goldman Sachs, Meta, OpenAI, SpaceX, Pfizer, Black & Decker, and Uber among many others. As Corporate Crime expert Rick Claypool, who compiled this tracker, writes, “Corporate crime enforcement fell during Trump's first term, even as his administration pursued ‘tough' policies against immigrants, protestors, and low-level offenders…It's likely Trump's second term will see a similar or worse dropoff in enforcement.”10. Finally, Senate Republicans are pushing for swift confirmation hearings to install Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, per POLITICO. Yet, the renewed spotlight on Gabbard has brought to light her association with the Science of Identity Foundation, an alleged cult led by “guru” Chris Butler, per Newsweek. The New Yorker reports members of this cult are required to “lie face down when Butler enters a room and even sometimes eat his nail clippings or ‘spoonfuls' of the sand he walked on.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

This Day in Legal History: US Recognizes Castro GovernmentOn January 7, 1959, the United States formally recognized the new Cuban government led by Fidel Castro. This recognition followed the revolutionary forces' ousting of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista on January 1, 1959. The U.S. move reflected an initial acceptance of the political change in Cuba, as Batista's regime had become widely criticized for corruption and authoritarianism. Castro's rise to power was initially seen by some in the U.S. as a potential opportunity for reform and modernization in Cuba. However, underlying tensions between the two nations soon began to surface.As Castro consolidated power, his government initiated sweeping land reforms and began nationalizing industries, including those with significant American investments. These actions created friction with U.S. business interests and policymakers. By 1960, relations deteriorated further when Cuba aligned itself with the Soviet Union, entering the Cold War as a communist ally. The U.S. responded with economic sanctions, including a trade embargo, which severely strained diplomatic ties.The growing ideological divide culminated in January 1961, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower severed formal diplomatic relations with Cuba. Shortly thereafter, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis deepened hostilities. The recognition on January 7, 1959, marked the beginning of a complex and adversarial relationship that would define U.S.-Cuban interactions for decades. This moment remains a pivotal turning point in the history of both nations, highlighting the geopolitical struggles of the Cold War era.Former President Donald Trump lost a bid to delay his sentencing in the Manhattan hush money case, despite his legal team's arguments citing presidential immunity and his upcoming January 20 inauguration. Judge Juan Merchan, who previously scheduled sentencing for January 10, rejected the request, stating that Trump's motion repeated past arguments and emphasizing the need for finality in criminal proceedings. The judge noted he was not inclined to impose jail time, instead considering an unconditional discharge, which would mark a conviction without additional penalties.The case involves a $130,000 payment made by Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to adult film actor Stormy Daniels to silence her claims of an affair with Trump before the 2016 election—a claim Trump denies. Trump was found guilty in May 2024 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to concealing this payment. His lawyers' appeals to dismiss the case, including citing the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity for official acts, have been rejected as the charges pertain to Trump's personal conduct.Prosecutors argued against the delay, stressing the public interest in timely prosecution. This case marks the first time a U.S. president, sitting or former, has been convicted of a crime. Trump's legal team previously claimed that the case impedes his ability to govern, but the court maintained that upholding the jury's verdict is vital to the rule of law.Trump loses bid to delay sentencing in hush money case as he appeals | ReutersU.S. Steel and Nippon Steel have filed lawsuits against President Joe Biden's administration over its decision to block Nippon Steel's $14.9 billion bid to acquire U.S. Steel, alleging the national security review process was politically influenced. The companies claim Biden prejudged the outcome to gain political favor with the United Steelworkers (USW) union ahead of the presidential election, violating their right to a fair review. They seek a federal court's intervention to overturn the decision and enable a new, impartial review.The merger was controversial, with both Biden and former President Donald Trump opposing the deal to keep U.S. Steel American-owned. Biden's administration cited national security concerns, while the companies argue the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) failed to conduct a proper review. U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel also filed a separate lawsuit against rival Cleveland-Cliffs, its CEO, and the USW for allegedly colluding to block the deal and monopolize the domestic steel market.The lawsuits accuse CFIUS staff of barring negotiations on a security agreement and allege the review process was manipulated to align with Biden's predetermined opposition. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves and the USW deny the allegations, calling the lawsuits baseless. Despite Biden's decision, U.S. Steel's stock rose, as the company remains an attractive acquisition target amidst falling profits and revenues.U.S. Steel, Nippon sue Biden administration over decision to block merger | ReutersOn January 6, Congress officially certified Donald Trump's 2024 presidential election victory without objections, marking a stark contrast to the events of January 6, 2021, when a mob stormed the Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden's victory. Kamala Harris, the outgoing vice president and Trump's defeated Democratic opponent, presided over the ceremony, emphasizing the "sacred obligation" of the peaceful transfer of power in American democracy. Security at the Capitol was unprecedented, with heavy fortifications, bomb squads, snipers, and reinforcements from law enforcement agencies across the country. However, the atmosphere outside was calm due to a massive snowstorm that emptied the streets of Washington, D.C.During the session, Harris received state certifications of electoral votes and announced Trump's 312-vote victory total. Unlike the contentious 2020 certification process, no Democratic lawmakers objected. Trump decisively won both the popular vote and key swing states, defeating Harris, who had replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee after his withdrawal.The 2024 certification was designated a "national special security event," reflecting lessons learned from the violent 2021 attack. That event, which left numerous police officers injured and one dead shortly after, remains a symbol of threats to democracy. Trump, now reelected, has vowed to pardon those convicted in the 2021 Capitol attack, describing them as "patriots."Trump Declared Election Winner in Ceremony Four Years After Riot This is a public episode.

Beurs-ancien US Steel kreeg een miljardenbod van Japanse concurrent Nippon Steel, maar die overname mag niet doorgaan. Dat beslist president Joe Biden. Beleggers zagen een overname wel zitten, maar Biden hoopt zo de werknemers te beschermen tegen bezuinigingen door de Japanners. Of de blokkade van Biden de redding is of juist de ondergang van het beursbedrijf uit 1921, dat hoor je in deze uitzending. Daarin hebben we het ook over een andere overname, die wél slaagt. Ahold Delhaize neemt zo'n 1700 supermarkten in Roemenië over. Het is een van de grootste overnames van Ahold in jaren. En daarmee wordt Ahold in één klap marktleider. En je kent het misschien wel: een vriend komt in levende lijve met het geniale idee om samen op vakantie te gaan, en een paar minuten later word je gebombardeerd met relevante reclames. Verschillende mensen startten een rechtszaak tegen Apple, omdat zelfs gesprekken met de dokter afgeluisterd leken te worden. Apple ontkent dat je telefoon meeluistert, maar durft een rechtszaak niet aan en schikt. Verder blikken we terug op de week van de jaarwisseling. De week waarin Tesla, maar ook bierbrouwer Ab Inbev een historisch dieptepunt rapporteerden, en waarin Klaas Knot waarschuwde voor deflatie die komt overwaaien uit China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
