Send us Fan MailEpisode 483: BOB DOLE 1995 – Clinton's Comeback (Part 24)The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin – November 4, 1995On November 4, 1995, one of the most shocking political assassinations of the modern era took place in Tel Aviv.Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin had just addressed thousands of Israelis gathered at a peace rally supporting the Oslo peace process. Within minutes, he would be shot three times by Yigal Amir, a Jewish Israeli extremist who opposed Rabin's negotiations with the Palestinians. Rabin was rushed to the hospital, but his wounds proved fatal.In this episode of BOB DOLE 1995 – Clinton's Comeback, we step away from the American political campaign for a moment to examine the extraordinary events unfolding in the Middle East during the autumn of 1995.Just two years earlier, Rabin had stood alongside President Bill Clinton and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat on the White House lawn as the Oslo Accords were signed. For a brief moment, there was hope that decades of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians might finally give way to a lasting peace.But by 1995, that hope was under enormous strain. Israel was deeply divided over the peace process. Palestinian terrorism was threatening the negotiations, while Jewish extremists inside Israel increasingly portrayed Rabin as betraying his country. Across the Arab world, governments and political movements were reacting to the changing relationship between Israel and the Palestinians.Then came November 4.We examine Rabin's extraordinary life—from soldier and military commander to Israeli prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize recipient—and the political circumstances that led to his assassination. We also look at the reaction in Israel, the United States, and around the world, including President Clinton's deeply personal response to the death of a man with whom he had worked closely in pursuit of peace.And while the assassination occurred thousands of miles from Washington, it was very much part of the world Bill Clinton was navigating as he prepared for the 1996 presidential election. With Bob Dole emerging as the Republican nominee-in-waiting and Clinton fighting his way back politically after the Republican Revolution of 1994, the events of November 1995 were shaping a rapidly changing world.The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin would change Israel, alter the course of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and become one of the defining moments of the 1990s.This is the story of Yitzhak Rabin, the political battle surrounding the Oslo peace process, and the tragic night that changed the Middle East.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the protests in Venezuela supporting Maria Corina Machado rather than Delcy Rodriguez following the arrest in January of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. While Maduro was clearly a scumbag and did horrific things to the people of Venezuela for more than a decade, replacing him with the CIA which does horrific things to people worldwide is not an actual solution to the problem. How did this work out in Iraq? In Libya? Millions died. And this is only the beginning of the conquest in Latin America. Machado was denied the Presidency by the CIA initially, so she gave her Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump who quickly changed his position on her. To be clear, the Nobel Peace Prize has previously been given to war architect Henry Kissinger and drone bomber Barack Obama. Delcy Rodriguez is also clearly a CIA plant as she supported the deal over Maduro and massive amounts of oil are stolen from the country to sidestep Russia and China at the behest of Israel who initially claimed Venezuela had Hezbollah fighters training their cartels on the Island of Margarita which was blatantly false. If we look back at who the previous hopeful was during the attempted coup some years ago in Venezuela, it was Juan Guaido. This man was heavily funded by USAID and worked with the CIA. Two wrongs don't make a right. Maduro was bad, yes. The CIA is also bad and one may say worse when considering the international picture and history of the CIA. This will continue to stem further Middle East level instability in Latin America as the United States looks to go after Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and several other Latin American countries next.

As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of World Food Program USA, in today's episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we're battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we're proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Program, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Program is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.Barron's optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron's leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.tl;dr:Barron Segar highlighted how wars, climate events, and underfunding exacerbate global hunger challenges.Innovations like cash-based transfers and strategic pre-positioning strengthen emergency food delivery.The World Food Program USA engages both governments and private sectors to address funding gaps.Barron emphasized creating a collaborative culture while setting measurable growth goals for leadership success.Hunger relief efforts showcase the need for global and local teamwork to build long-term resilience.How to Develop Vision into Action As a SuperpowerBarron's superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today's episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.One example of this superpower is Barron's plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.By following Barron's example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBarron Segar (he/him):President & CEO, World Food Program USAAbout World Food Program USA: The World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and the world's leading humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate extremes.

In a live episode of the Theory of Change podcast recorded at the Devex Impact House in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, David Beasley, the former World Food Programme executive director and former governor of South Carolina, laid out his playbook for navigating today's increasingly hostile political climate — while leaving the door at least somewhat open for his own return to the political arena. Beasley — who led the U.N.'s food security agency when it won the Nobel Peace Prize — shared his journey from working in South Carolina tobacco fields to negotiating with the Taliban to feed starving children to battling with billionaire Elon Musk on Twitter. He described the culture shock of a United Nations outsider confronted with bureaucracy and jargon, and offered his diagnosis for why the development sector keeps getting its pitch wrong. Beasley offered a bleak assessment of current humanitarian aid cuts, calling the domestic political environment “horrific” and warning that Western nations are actively undermining their own geopolitical stability. “America is great because America is good, and if we ever cease to be good, we cease to be great. And right now, we're not being good,” he said.

Ian Krietzberg joins Peter to preview the high-stakes meeting between Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping, breaking down the hopes, expectations, and realities in play as industry leaders press both sides to make A.I. safety a priority. Ian explains why a true breakthrough is unlikely—and why some are quietly wondering whether Trump will use the summit as a bid for the Nobel Peace Prize he desperately craves.

David Kissinger grew up swimming in Nixon's pool, getting bad-mouthed by classmates over his dad's Nobel Prize, and hanging out with people history books call monsters — and he calls uncles. Jay sits down with David Kissinger — son of Henry Kissinger, TV exec behind The Office, Battlestar Galactica, and Netflix's The Beast in Me — for a conversation that swings from Watergate to Ted Danson's phone number to the time Paul McCartney pulled out a harmonica just for him. David tells the story of the president calling his childhood neighbors "sons of bitches" (in front of a 10-year-old), explains how he squandered millions of dollars developing shows before finally getting one right, and gets brutally honest about the show he still thinks was robbed of its shot. Plus: why AI can't write a joke to save its life, what Barry Diller taught him about being a good editor, and how a 6:20am hiking group became his weekly dose of joy. It's part Hollywood war stories, part front-row seat to American political history, and part two old friends just riffing. Also: listener mail about firing a friend without losing her, and a hard stance on marzipan. Bio:  David Kissinger has spent decades helping decide what America watches on TV — and he's the son of one of the most consequential (and controversial) diplomats in modern history, so he's had a front-row seat to two very different kinds of power. Professionally, Kissinger cut his teeth as a journalist, writing for outlets including Rolling Stone and Esquire, before crossing over into the entertainment industry. He rose through television development at Disney's Touchstone Television, where he helped oversee hits like Home Improvement and Boy Meets World, then went on to run NBC Universal Television Studio, where his fingerprints are on shows including The Office, House, Monk, and Battlestar Galactica. Since 2005, he's served as President of Conaco, Conan O'Brien's production company — proof that after years of corporate TV, he still knows how to have fun. His father was Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Growing up with that surname meant David spent his childhood somewhere between political history and normal life, which may explain why he's spent his adult life gravitating toward comedy.  Kissinger is married to Alexandra Kissinger, who worked directly with Jim Henson and has helped carry forward the Henson legacy. Outside of work, he's an avid music fan and enjoys hiking and not answering Jay's texts.  Subscribe to Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen for more conversations with writers, comedians, actors, creators, and thought leaders exploring life, creativity, politics, and the human experience.

Episode #609: Jostein Kobbeltvedt, director of the Rafto Foundation for Human Rights in Bergen, Norway, reflects on how the 1990 Rafto Prize awarded to Aung San Suu Kyi helped bring Myanmar's democracy struggle to international attention and how the global narrative surrounding her later collided with the realities of governing. The Rafto Foundation was created to recognize human rights defenders while their struggles are still unfolding. Early laureates were dissidents from Eastern Europe, and the committee's decision to recognize Suu Kyi marked an expansion of the prize's focus beyond that region. At the time of the award, Suu Kyi was under house arrest and largely unknown outside Myanmar. Her name came to the committee's attention through a brief newspaper mention, yet the prize helped introduce her story to wider audiences. International recognition soon followed, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The Rafto Foundation maintained long-term contact with Suu Kyi and her family during her detention, and in 2013 she traveled to Bergen to formally receive the prize. But the narrative surrounding Suu Kyi shifted dramatically after she entered government following Myanmar's 2015 elections. As State Counsellor, she confronted political constraints that differed from those she faced as an opposition leader. Violence against Rohingya communities beginning in 2016, and her response to the crisis shocked many international supporters who had viewed her as a democratic icon. The experience highlights the complexities of democratic transitions and the enduring influence of military power within Myanmar's political system. It also illustrates how international advocacy, economic engagement, and diplomacy have shaped Norway's evolving relationship with Myanmar. Despite continuing setbacks, Kobbeltvedt emphasizes that Myanmar's citizens remain committed to pursuing democracy, and their struggle continues to draw international solidarity.

Saturday of the 22nd Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Teresa of Calcutta, 1910-1997; founder of the Missionaries of Charity, which grew worldwide, with thousands of nuns and branches caring for the sick, dying, orphaned, and abandoned; she became a global symbol of compassion, receiving honors such as the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979; she died in Calcutta in 1997, was given a state funeral in India, and soon recognized as a saintly figure Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 9/5/26 Gospel: Luke 6:1-5

Full Text of Readings Saturday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 436 The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa of Calcutta Saint Teresa of Calcutta's Story Saint Teresa of Calcutta, the tiny woman recognized throughout the world for her work among the poorest of the poor, was beatified October 19, 2003. Among those present were hundreds of Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded in 1950, as a diocesan religious community. Today the congregation also includes contemplative sisters and brothers, and an order of priests. Born to Albanian parents in what is now Skopje, Macedonia, Gonxha (Agnes) Bojaxhiu was the youngest of the three children who survived. For a time, the family lived comfortably, and her father's construction business thrived. But life changed overnight following his unexpected death. During her years in public school, Agnes participated in a Catholic sodality and showed a strong interest in the foreign missions. At age 18, she entered the Loreto Sisters of Dublin. It was 1928 when she said goodbye to her mother for the final time and made her way to a new land and a new life. The following year she was sent to the Loreto novitiate in Darjeeling, India. There she chose the name Teresa and prepared for a life of service. She was assigned to a high school for girls in Calcutta, where she taught history and geography to the daughters of the wealthy. But she could not escape the realities around her—the poverty, the suffering, the overwhelming numbers of destitute people. In 1946, while riding a train to Darjeeling to make a retreat, Sister Teresa heard what she later explained as “a call within a call. The message was clear. I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them.” She also heard a call to give up her life with the Sisters of Loreto and instead, to “follow Christ into the slums to serve him among the poorest of the poor.” After receiving permission to leave Loreto, establish a new religious community, and undertake her new work, Saint Teresa of Calcutta took a nursing course for several months. She returned to Calcutta, where she lived in the slums and opened a school for poor children. Dressed in a white sari and sandals–the ordinary dress of an Indian woman–she soon began getting to know her neighbors—especially the poor and sick—and getting to know their needs through visits. The work was exhausting, but Saint Teresa of Calcutta was not alone for long. Volunteers who came to join her in the work, some of them former students, became the core of the Missionaries of Charity. Others helped by donating food, clothing, supplies, and the use of buildings. In 1952, the city of Calcutta gave Saint Teresa of Calcutta a former hostel, which became a home for the dying and the destitute. As the order expanded, services were also offered to orphans, abandoned children, alcoholics, the aging, and street people. For the next four decades, Mother Teresa worked tirelessly on behalf of the poor. Her love knew no bounds. Nor did her energy, as she crisscrossed the globe pleading for support and inviting others to see the face of Jesus in the poorest of the poor. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. On September 5, 1997, God called her home. Blessed Teresa was canonized by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016. Reflection Saint Teresa of Calcutta's beatification, just over six years after her death, was part of an expedited process put into effect by Pope John Paul II. Like so many others around the world, he found her love for the Eucharist, for prayer, and for the poor a model for all to emulate.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Derek Champagne talks with Enes Kanter Freedom.

What if uncertainty isn't the obstacle preventing you from finding your path—but the very condition that allows the path to unfold? In this Dead Talk, Rachel Carson and Wangari Maathai arrive with an unexpected message about money, health, courage, receiving, inspired movement, and why clarity about the next step is far more useful than certainty about the destination. Rachel Carson Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist, writer, and conservationist best known for Silent Spring, the landmark book that brought widespread attention to the ecological dangers associated with pesticides such as DDT Wangari Maathai Wangari Maathai was a Kenyan environmentalist, political activist, and founder of the Green Belt Movement. She became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Her work connected environmental restoration with poverty, women's empowerment, food security, health, democracy, and human dignity.   Read about The Freedom Project 7-day Boosts here Schedule a call with Christy to learn about The Freedom Project here Schedule a call with Gary to learn about The Freedom Project here  

Jerry White is a humanitarian activist, author, diplomat, social entrepreneur, and a leader in the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. Jerry's life changed at twenty when, while hiking in Israel, he stepped on an unmarked landmine and lost his lower right leg. He went on to co-found the Landmine Survivors Network and help lead the campaign that produced the 1997 Ottawa Treaty banning landmines. He later helped advance two more landmark international agreements: the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Convention on Cluster Munitions. Jerry has since served as a senior U.S. State Department official on conflict and stabilization, as a Senior Ashoka Fellow, and as the first Professor of Practice at the University of Virginia. Today, he chairs MADE IMPACT and teaches what he calls “humane leadership” through BeSeeDo. His books include Getting Up When Life Knocks You Down, Religicide, and his latest, Be See Do: The Art of Humane Leadership. In this episode, we trace Jerry's extraordinary journey — from surviving a landmine explosion to helping build a Nobel Peace Prize-winning movement, shaping international treaties, serving in government, and developing a practical approach to humane leadership, philanthropy, and systems change.

It is 50 years since a peace movement began in Northern Ireland spawned by the killing of three children. There had been seven years of sectarian violence. On 10 August 1976, Anne Maguire was walking along Finaghy Road North in West Belfast with her children when an out-of-control car plunged into them. It was driven by a member of the Irish Republican Army paramilitary group who had been fatally wounded at the wheel by British Army soldiers chasing him. Six-week-old baby, Andrew, who was in his pram and eight-year-old Joanne, who was on her bicycle, were instantly killed. Their brother John, just two-and-a-half, died the following day in hospital. The children's uncle, Gerry Grehan, tells Josephine McDermott about the life-changing tragedy and how it resulted in the Peace People, founded by Mairead Corrigan (later known as Mairead Corrigan Maguire), Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown.It was a peace movement which attracted support from across the religious divide. The sight of Protestants from the Shankill Road and Catholics from the Falls Road in Belfast walking side-by-side drew international attention. There were dozens of marches in other towns and cities including Ballymena, Londonderry, Enniskillen, Newry and London. Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams were praised by world leaders and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired on December 9, 2012. The late Nobel Peace Prize winner, professor, New York Times bestselling author, humanitarian and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel discusses his life-changing heart surgery and his latest memoir, “Open Heart.” He shares the fears associated with his life-saving operation and how they allowed him to re-examine his career and deepen his devotion to his family. Elie also explains what he hopes will be the destiny of his life's work. Elie Wiesel was just 15 years old when he was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Years later, he would write his firsthand account of the Holocaust in what has become what many consider to be one of the most important books of our time, “Night.” In 2006, Elie returned to Auschwitz to meet Oprah and walk the grounds of the 6,700-acre complex and reflect on the lives that were lost in the 20th century's greatest tragedy. Elie passed away in 2016 at his home in Manhattan. He was 87 years old. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do you teach the structure of an atom to inner-city kids who have been told science is harmful? And how do you smuggle scientific journals to dissidents in the Soviet Union without getting caught? In this extraordinary episode from the archive, Andy Lopata has a conversation with the legendary Dr. Zafra Lerman—chemist, human rights activist, and five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Zafra shares her incredible journey of turning the traditional educational model upside down, proving that science is a basic human right that belongs to everyone. Listen as Zafra explains how she used everything from Bloody Marys in a local bar to Romeo and Juliet-inspired dance routines to teach chemistry to underprivileged students in Chicago. We also hear about her harrowing, secret missions to the Soviet Union in the 1980s, where she held midnight seminars for blacklisted scientists in dark attics. This is a story of profound courage, radical innovation, and the power of treating people with dignity. What you will learn in this episode: Reverse Engineering Education: Why teaching from the "abstract to the concrete" (like starting with the atom) fails, and how teaching from the "concrete to the abstract" (starting with a nuclear power plant) engages reluctant learners. The Multiple-Choice Trap: Why Zafra abolished standardised testing in her classes and allowed students to prove their knowledge through dance, rap, poetry, and drama. The Midnight Seminars: The gripping story of how Zafra smuggled illegal scientific journals to blacklisted "refusenik" scientists in the Soviet Union and held secret lectures in dark attics. Actionable Insights: Meet People Where They Are: If your message isn't landing, you are likely teaching from the "abstract to the concrete." Start with what your audience already knows and cares about (the "concrete"). Zafra didn't start with the chemical formula for an ester; she started with the oil and vinegar on their salads. Assess Understanding Creatively: Stop relying on one-size-fits-all metrics to gauge your team's understanding or performance. Like Zafra allowing her students to dance a chemical reaction, allow your team to demonstrate their competence and creativity in ways that suit their unique strengths. Challenge Prejudice with Action, Not Just Words: When Zafra's students were pushed away from an event because of their age and race, she didn't just complain. She used the incident to directly confront and educate the elite scientists in the room. When you see exclusion, use your platform to call it out and create an immediate teaching moment.

M. G. Sheftall has lived in Japan since 1987. He has a PhD in international relations and modern Japanese history from Waseda University in Tokyo. Since 2001, he has been a professor of modern Japanese cultural history and communication at the Faculty of Informatics of Shizuoka University. He lives in Hamamatsu, Japan. Amy Chavez talks about Sheftall's books on the Asia Pacific War, in particular Hiroshima: The Last Witnesses and Nagasaki: The Last Witnesses both oral histories featuring interviews with survivors of the atomic bombs. Has Japan's 80 years of peace education been all for naught? The book serves as a prescient warning given the current political climate and Japan's complex relationships with the US, Taiwan, China, and the broader world. Recent developments—including Nihon Hidankyo's 2024 Nobel Peace Prize and the ongoing protests against revising Article 9—bring this subject into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, the author offers his own perspective on Japan's nuclear future. The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press. Podcast host Amy Chavez is author of The Widow, the Priest, and the Octopus Hunter: Discovering a Lost Way of Life on a Secluded Japanese Island, and Amy's Guide to Best Behavior in Japan.

Once again, Darrell Castle discusses war but with a little diplomacy and an historical reminder that technology constantly changes but human nature never changes. Transcription / Notes THE HUMILIATION FACTOR Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 7th day of August in the year of our Lord 2026. I'm afraid my beat is war once again but with a little diplomacy and an historical reminder that technology constantly changes but human nature never changes. For the history lesson I have to go back to December 7th, 1941, and perhaps even a few days before that. This story is important because of the title to this report but also because yesterday, August 6 was the 81st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The United States was engaged in diplomacy with Japan regarding Japan's invasion of China and Roosevelt's refusal to sell them more oil until they left China. The Japanese had to import virtually all their raw materials and they got oil primarily from the U.S. The Japanese had behaved so horribly in China that Roosevelt tried to persuade the Europeans to join him in a conditional boycott but they refused so he decided to do it himself. If you want to know more about how the Japanese behaved in China I recommend Iris Chang's book “The Rape of Nanchang, The Forgotten Holocaust of World War ll. Well, at least the two sides were talking to each other through diplomats around a conference table in Washington D.C. The Japanese knew that if the U.S. continued to refuse to sell them oil they would have to get it by conquering the oil and rubber rich nations of the South Pacific so they made plans to do just that. Those nations could not be conquered with the U.S. Navy at large in the Pacific so Japan's plan included that Navy's destruction in an attack we know as Pearl Harbor. Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Fleet, had given orders that a war warning had to given to the American diplomats about one hour before the attack but delays of various kinds caused the warning to be delivered one hour after battleship row was burning. The Japanese believed that when the decadent, luxury loving, American people were confronted with this debacle they would demand that their leaders negotiate a way out of it. There were an awful lot of American members of Congress and the Senate who were in office because they were opposed to fighting European wars. There was an America first contingent which measured about 140 members. How could any nation so divided muster the will to fight a long bloody war, but the Japanese were catastrophically wrong in their assessment. Immediately after the attack the America first group voted to disband. Charles Linberg, the most outspoken and most famous antiwar advocate tried to join the Army Air Corps. Men lined up around the block in every city in America. School boys lied about their age to enlist. Keep in mind that in Japan every radio receiver in every military unit was tuned to American broadcasts in order to discern the mood of the people. Military transcriptionists took down every word of every broadcast and on December 8th at 12:30 PM they were turned in for FDR's speech. He spoke for only 6 minutes and none of it was a call for patience or negotiation but instead he called it a day that will live in infamy. The American people and the President were fueled to righteous anger by the deceptive nature of it. The term sneak attack was on everyone's lips and worse because it happened while the two sides were negotiating. That's a long history report, folks, but there is a reason for it. The reason is that another sneak attack, conducted while the two sides were negotiating has now happened. The anger, the determination to fight on no matter how long it took that fueled American resolve is now being felt by citizens of The Islamic Republic of Iran. Yes American diplomats were negotiating with Iranian diplomats when the U.S, and Israeli bombers struck. The attack didn't just destroy Iranian military targets, but it killed their supreme leader and almost his whole family including his 14-month-old granddaughter. The next day American bombs struck a girls school and around 160 little girls were killed but just to make sure it was hit again. How are these people supposed to feel about negotiating with America to end this war. How can they be expected to ever trust an American's word again. The problem continues almost daily as U.S. negotiators, if there are any besides the president, continue to go back on their word which is diplomat speak for lying. For example, the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding the president announced the other day called for Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz. The next day the president reneged on that point. I read someone the other day and I can't remember who said it, but he said President Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize because he has ended the Iran War 7 times and number 8 is coming soon. Think about the mindset that the U.S. sneak attack must have created in the minds of the Iranian people. Before it happened there did seem to be a lot of unrest and a lot of division. People were in the streets protesting the harsh measures of the regime and that regime proceeded to kill thousands of them. I imagine the President was told that his sneak attack would have the same effect on the Iranian people that the Japanese thought Pearl Harbor would have on the American people. Both those assumptions were catastrophically wrong. Instead of causing the Iranian people to riot and overthrow their government it brought them together. The hated Mullahs were once again respected leaders. Thousands attended the Ayatollah's funeral. I think it was Mark Twain who said history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. Now the situation is so much worse for the U.S. and of course for Israel which was, apparently, the reason for the sneak attack. The Strait is at least a very dangerous place and ships can't sail without extreme danger. The entire world's economy teeters on the brink of depression. Oil and other needed mineral resources are soaring in price since about 20% of them have to pass through that chokehold. Meanwhile the President has announced a new deal being brokered by his Board of Peace involving peace in Gaza. The lynch pin would require Hamas, a terrorist group financed by Iran, to give up its arms and identify all its tunnels etc. In other words, Hamas would cease to exist and Israel would leave Gaza so that the U.S. and the Middle East members of the Board such as the Saudis and the Gulf States could rebuild it and everyone would prosper. The moment the deal was announced Netanyahu said the President sent it to him and he didn't like it. He said Israel would not leave Gaza until Hamas completely disarmed and Hamas Says it will not disarm until Israel leaves. Qatar is apparently kicking Hamas out of its country and rumors have it moving its operations to Turkey which is apparently the President's hope for the role of ensuring Middle East peace. My point in all this is that it is humiliating and embarrassing, or it should be. This country is supposed to be trusted because we have laws and rules, and we are supposed to stand for something. There are things we simply will never do and financing another country's crimes is one of those things. The first law of the land of course is the Constitution because it says it is the supreme law of the land. It restricts the power of leaders and they all take an oath to it but for most that means nothing. The standard of completely disarmed is virtually impossible to know or measure and that leaves the door open for this conflict to continue indefinitely. In the meantime, Reuters reports that the U.S. has expended more than 80% of its antimissile defense missiles. The Iranians are very smart people and they have been for a long time. They just keep putting missiles into U.S. bases and into Israel knowing that only a few will get through but it requires the U.S. to expend its supply and what then. The President announces what turns out to be a temporary halt to bombing, I guess. The U.S. position with regard to Israel and the Middle East is indefensible and I guess that's why they no longer try to defend it. The attitude seems to be the old one made famous by Baghdad Bob. You are not seeing this so just move on because everything is fine. I chose humiliation as the title of this Report because it is humiliating for a great nation to force people to pay for their own destruction. A foreign nation somehow persuades the U.S. to give it money so it can use that money to buy U.S. politicians who will then vote to fund its expansionist wars. I'll close this report on our humiliation with a few words from old friend and economist Bill Bonner. “No matter how cynical you are, its probably not enough. Perhaps Donald Trump is playing a different game altogether. He marshalls DOGE to cut spending but does not actually cut a dime out of the swollen federal budget. He makes grand theater out of tariffs but trade deficits continue unmolested. No more foreign wars, he pledges and then attacks Iran.” Finally, folks, the way out of this seems very difficult to bear but wouldn't it be better to quit now so we can manage the withdrawal rather than wait until we are forced out. The Iran War was a mistake we should admit and we are sorry we made it. We are especially sorry for those Iranian school girls and we will pay compensation to their families. It's the same decision made by the French after Dein Bin Phu when we decided to take up their war. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Maria Ressa is one of the most celebrated journalists in the world. Born in Manila in 1963, she moved with her family to the US, studying at Princeton University before returning to the Philippines to forge a career covering the growth of terrorism in South East Asia. In 2012, she co-founded online news site Rappler, distinguishing herself as a fearless defender of freedom of expression while standing up to an authoritarian regime infamous for, among other things, its campaign against journalists. Ressa’s bravery earned her the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for journalism, and she’s visiting Australia to speak on August 23 at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney. She joins us for a chat about the threat to democracy from disinformation, and the responsibility we all share to tease fact from fiction in the age of AI – a conversation hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Tim Elliott.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does one individual from a small town in America grow a movement from a staff of one into 1,000+ organizations across 60 countries—and ultimately change international law? Can the feeling of “righteous indignation” be enough to address the injustices in the world? What separates those who change the world from those who don't? And is “extraordinary” simply a choice we make everyday?Find out from Jody Williams, exclusively in conversation with Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa on Intersections Podcast.Jody Williams is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a globally recognized human rights activist, and one of the world's most influential voices in disarmament and peacebuilding. She is best known for her leadership of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), a global civil society movement that grew to over 1,000 organizations across 60 countries, where she served as chief strategist and spokesperson, helping lead an unprecedented coalition of NGOs, governments, and international bodies that resulted in the landmark 1997 Mine Ban Treaty—earning her and ICBL—the Nobel Peace Prize for transforming grassroots activism into international law. In 2006, Jody co-founded the Nobel Women's Initiative, which she chairs to this day, where she works together with other women Nobel Peace Prize laureates to elevate the voices and support the work of women peace activists around the world. In 2013, Jody published her memoir on life as a grassroots activist, My Name is Jody Williams: A Vermont Girl's Winding Path to the Nobel Peace Prize.In this episode, Jody reveals:- The choices that make ordinary people extraordinary- The value of “righteous indignation” in leadership and changemaking- How small acts of courage compound into world-changing movements

Gary W. Yohe, Professor Emeritus at Wesleyan University, is a climate change expert with 40 plus years' experience, Nobel Peace Prize-recognized, focusing on mitigation, adaptation, and economic impacts of environmental policy. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Climate policy and science must be iterative; decisions today should evolve as new data and realities emerge. 2. Not all climate risks can or should be measured purely in economic terms; human lives and ecosystems carry intrinsic value. 3. The future of climate impact comes down to three choices: mitigate, adapt, or suffer; and we will experience some of all three. Subscribe to Substack.

Dr. Mike Evans was 8 years old when his own stepfather strangled him unconscious, and saw a vision that would change the course of his life, and later, the modern state of Israel. In this conversation with Lance Wallnau, the Christian Zionist leader and Nobel Peace Prize nominee reveals the vision that led him, 22 years later, to walk into a grieving stranger's house and tell him he'd become prime minister. That stranger was Benjamin Netanyahu. Dr. Evans is an award-winning journalist, multiple New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem. He unpacks Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the "theater" behind its rebuilding efforts, the untold Christian Zionist history behind Israel's founding, and why he believes the wars of the 21st century (ideological, media, and spiritual) can't be won by weapons alone. In this episode: * The vision of Jesus that shaped Mike Evans' life after childhood abuse * The 1980 encounter with a grieving Benjamin Netanyahu that changed Israeli history * The "green light" former Iranian president Ahmadinejad claims he saw at the UN * How Iran's Revolutionary Guard controls a third of the country's economy * The untold Christian Zionist history behind the Balfour Declaration and Israel's founding * The Global Prayer Event on October 7 aiming for 5 million intercessors worldwide Podcast Episode 2195: Surprising Update - What Happened to Tucker After His Demonic Attack? | don't miss this!

Neil Lanctot concludes with the revelation of the Zimmermann Telegram—a German proposal for an alliance with Mexico against the U.S.—which finally pushed the nation toward war. On April 2, 1917, Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war "to make the world safe for democracy," though the vote was not unanimous. Progressive Senator Robert La Follette and the first Congresswoman, Jeannette Rankin, famously voted against the resolution. Following the war and the flawed Versailles Treaty, the three protagonists faced varied fates: TR died in 1919; Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke in late 1919 and died in 1924; and Jane Addams faced government surveillance as a "radical" during the 1920s. However, Addams' reputation was eventually restored; she won the Nobel Peace Prize in the early 1930s and was a beloved figure at the time of her death in 1935. Lanctot concludes by noting that Addams and the militant Schwimmer remained figures ahead of their time in their pursuit of global peace. (8)1919

There was so much happening in 1973 that impacts our current world that it deserves a deeper examination. As the Vietnam War was pretending to come to an end so that Kissinger could collect his laughable Nobel Peace Prize, the Trilateral Commission was just coming into existence to facilitate open borders and world government for the next half century. Nixon was fighting off a coup with the Watergate situation while the oil companies were plotting to screw the entire world with a scheduled war in the Middle East in order to artificially drive up prices by 300%. South America was slated for regime change through the CIA's Operation Condor, while China was opened up so that Rockefeller and Bush could build thousands of factories to change the world while putting trillions of Petrodollars in their pockets.---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

On July 9, 1955, mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell announced the Russell-Einstein manifesto, which warned the world of the dangers posed by nuclear weapons. The 11 signatories included Albert Einstein, who signed it just before his death. Physicist Joseph Rotblat stated that the manifesto was "the last message from the man who was the symbol of the great heights the human intellect can reach, imploring us not to let all this be destroyed by human folly." Russell and Rotblat then initiated the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, with the first one occurring in 1957 in Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Rotblat led the Pugwash Conferences until 1973, and he and the Pugwash Conferences jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995 "for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and, in the longer run, to eliminate such arms". With us to discuss the history of Pugwash, nuclear disarmament, and public policy related to science is John Holdren. John served as science advisor to President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017, making him the longest serving presidential science advisor since World War II. He served in many other scientific leadership roles, including as chair of the executive committee of the Pugwash Conferences from 1987-1997. When the group was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995, John delivered the acceptance lecture, so he is the perfect person to reflect on the history of Pugwash and nuclear disarmament.
