When young people began disappearing in Argentina, their mothers searched for answers. Despite laws prohibiting protests and political gatherings, the women still met to walk the Plaza de Mayo, a central square in Buenos Aires near the president's residence. The government worked to deny their reports of the missing, to discredit the women, and to erode their standing among their peers. But the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo persisted. Dr. Laura Tedesco joins us to share about her own childhood in Argentina during the military junta of the 1970s, her expertise on the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, and what authoritarianism then and now looks like, as we take a deep dive into her article “How Government Killings and Kidnappings in Argentina drove mothers to resist and revolt – and eventually win,” published in The Conversation on January 27, 2026. This episode explores: features of authoritarianism, liberation theology, the death flights, Nunca Mas, human rights, fear, mothers' activism, and how a society can react to state terrorism. Our guest is: Dr. Laura Tedesco, who is an Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations. She specializes in Latin American Politics, Political Leadership, Political Corruption, and the dynamics of Authoritarianism and Democracy. From 2016 to 2024, she led a research grant funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), focusing on the political role of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FAR) in Cuba. Additionally, from 2009 to 2021, she directed a research project sponsored by the Open Society Institute, examining political leadership in Latin America. Since 2024, Dr. Tedesco has served as the Associate Dean for Humanities and Social Sciences at Saint Louis University's Madrid campus. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and developmental editor for academics. She is the creator and producer of the Academic Life podcast.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we continue unpacking the devastating revelations found in the Epstein files. What's been exposed isn't just corruption, it's a system that protects powerful criminals while innocent victims are silenced.The facts are very disturbing. There has been absolutely no accountability. And the victims deserve more than headlines and non-answers.We're asking hard questions about leadership, responsibility, and why justice still feels so out of reach. If powerful names are involved, then powerful action must follow. No more silence. No more avoidance. The victims deserve truth, and they deserve justice. NOW.--https://www.bible.com/

The discussion explores the importance of education policy, the evolving role of technology in human relationships, and why integrity, communication, and simply “showing up” for others matter more than ever. Stafford also offers thoughtful life advice rooted in personal responsibility and character—making this episode both practical and inspiring.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Broadcast from the garage, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a sharp critique of political leadership, government waste and taxpayer-funded hypocrisy. Jeremy predicts an imminent leadership spill within the Liberal Party, arguing Susan Ley has failed to define or defend core values, leaving voters drifting toward One Nation. He highlights a scathing assessment of the Liberal Party by former MP Craig Kelly, who declares the party “dead” due to cowardice and ideological surrender. The episode also tackles alarming figures on lithium-ion battery fires, taxpayer-funded childcare and IVF subsidies for high-income earners, and runaway government advertising spend at both state and federal levels. Jeremy questions why governments spend hundreds of millions on political advertising while owning the ABC outright, arguing the national broadcaster already provides unmatched reach. As always, the program blends political analysis, cultural commentary and historical perspective, finishing with reflections on power, accountability and why the Court of Public Opinion remains one of the few places for unfiltered debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the first episode of the Better Politics Podcast of 2026, host Lisa Witter is joined by Damian Boeselager, a German Member of the European Parliament and the co-founder of Volt Europa, the first pan-European political party.With a background in philosophy and economics, Damian began his career in strategy consulting and social impact work before an unexpected turn during his graduate studies in public policy drew him into politics. Confronted with a changing political climate in 2016 and growing concerns about the future of European democracy, he chose action over disengagement and helped build a new political movement grounded in the belief that Europe's challenges require European-level solutions. Together, Lisa and Damian unpack why political parties remain essential to healthy democracies, what it actually takes to build a political party from scratch, and how citizen agency can drive meaningful change. They also explore innovation in party structures, the skills and traits needed for effective political leadership today, and why “hard hope” is rooted in active participation, not passive optimism.

3/3. The Regicide Debate — Gaius and Germanicus examine the history and implications of killing monarchs and emperors, particularly regarding modern political leadership. Germanicus uses the execution of Charles I in 1649following the English Civil War as the seminal regicide precedent; Charles I was executed publicly after refusing to defend himself in court. Gaius explains that regicide recurs throughout imperial history because the sacred monarch's authority embodies the totality of society itself; metaphorically, the monarch's body represents the body of all citizens collectively. Germanicus distinguishes between legitimate regicide—eliminating a king who betrayed his societal mission (like Caligula)—and capricious execution like Charles I's, Louis XVI's, or Nicholas II's, which constitutes ritual delegitimation. Gaius notes that Charles I's execution ultimately delegitimized the regicides themselves, causing the nation to reject them and resulting in Cromwell's short-lived Protectorship. Germanicus warns that contemporary opposition entertaining regicidal ideas against "Emperor Trump" appears unaware they are entering this long historical tradition of regicide, which invariably triggers general conflict among factions, since millions of faithful supporters embrace the emperor. Gaius emphasizes that while individual men may be killed, opposition attempting to slay the high office itself confronts an institution that is undying, all-powerful, and ultimately indestructible, creating structural conditions for catastrophic escalation and societal fragmentation reminiscent of cracked mirrors that cannot be adequately mended without the binding emotional adhesive of fraternity and shared national purpose. 1649
Comparing Chinese Engineers (Technocracy) and American Lawyers (Process) Guest: John Kitch John Kitch reviewed Dan Wang's book Breakneck, which contrasts China's engineer-dominated political leadership with America's lawyer-dominated system, noting China's engineers excel at executing large-scale plans and directing resources, fostering output, but their technocratic mindset struggles with complex human problems and leads to unintended consequences, while American lawyers establish effective regulations and protect civil liberties but often result in excessive process, compliance focus, and reduced economic dynamism, with Wang advocating for greater economic dynamism in the United States. 1920

Iain Dale has written books profiling prime ministers, monarchs and dictators. Next up from the LBC broadcaster and podcaster is a book on the people - all men - who have served as taoiseach. The Taoiseach: A Century of Political Leadership profiles all who have held the office and explores the evolution of the role. But Dale didn't write it himself this time, instead drafting in a roster of Irish writers to take on a taoiseach each. Dale talks to Hugh about Ireland's political leaders and what examining them has taught him about Irish history and politics. Along the way they they take a lengthy diversion into Iain's real area of expertise: UK politics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

“On Upgrade America, these are our views and opinions not anyone else's. We're here for discussion and perspective only. We don't promote hate or violence against any group, so listen with an open mind and do your own research.”TakeawaysThe Rondo neighborhood was a vibrant black community before urban renewal displaced many families.The Great Migration saw many black families move north to escape Jim Crow laws.Urban renewal often disproportionately affected black communities, contributing to long-term wealth gaps.Current migration trends show a reverse movement of black Americans back to the South for economic opportunities.There is a societal narrative that pits black men against black women, often fueled by media.Cultural shifts are changing gender dynamics, but stereotypes still persist.Media representation of women in film often leans towards political agendas rather than character development.Dating expectations can be unrealistic, leading to many single individuals on both sides.Prenups are important for both men and women to protect their assets in marriage.The military's involvement in drug trafficking raises questions about oversight and accountability.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Upgrade America Podcast01:20 The Rondo Neighborhood and Black Migration05:06 The Great Migration and Its Impact09:36 Black Men vs. Black Women: A Cultural Discourse17:14 Changing Gender Dynamics in Society22:46 The Role of Media in Shaping Narratives30:26 Policing and Military Oversight35:03 Drug Trafficking and Military Involvement40:49 Political Leadership and Public Perception47:04 Conclusion and Reflections
Almost everyone can look at the education landscape in America today and see that something has gone very, very wrong. Spending per student has increased, and there is no evidence that this increased spending has improved student performance outcomes. But what if there are factors eating up the budget and keeping the student performance outcomes stagnant? Factors such as the rise of teachers unions in non-right-to-work states, for example?Joining us today is Corey DeAngelis, a school choice evangelist who is a senior fellow at the American Culture Project, to discuss a recently released report he helped author that looks at just that, the administrative bloat in the public school system and how it correlates to increased teacher union influence. Also joining is CRC colleague Mike Watson, our regular host and resident labor union expert. Corey A. DeAngelis is a senior fellow at the American Culture Project. He has been labeled the “school choice evangelist” and called “the most effective school choice advocate since Milton Friedman.” He is a regular on Fox News and frequently appears in The Wall Street Journal. DeAngelis is also the executive director at Educational Freedom Institute, a senior fellow at Reason Foundation, an adjunct scholar at Cato Institute, a board member at Liberty Justice Center, and a senior advisor at Accuracy in Media. He holds a Ph.D. in education policy from the University of Arkansas. He is the national bestselling author of The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools (Center Street, 2024).Links: Educational Bloat and the Role of UnionsCorey DeAngelis - XEducation FirstWhere Is, Repeat Where Is, America's Political Leadership?

Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Anthony Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule, to dissect the growing dysfunction in government and how it's impacting American business and politics.

Political scientist and author Matt Goodwin returns to The Winston Marshall Show for a conversation on mass immigration, national identity, and Britain's deepening political crisis.Goodwin argues that the postwar political consensus—built on liberalism, globalism, and open borders—is collapsing.

In this week’s episode, I dive deep into the state of protests in America and the line between peaceful demonstration and lawlessness. Drawing on my family’s immigrant roots and my experience as an attorney and political strategist, I address the complex questions surrounding our First Amendment rights, the actions of elected leaders, and the consequences of current immigration policies. With a focus on developments in California and Massachusetts, I share personal perspectives on civic engagement, public safety, and the pressing need for reform. I confront the controversies around looting, violence in the streets, and the responsibilities of those in public service. I address the strain on local and state resources caused by the ongoing immigration crisis, highlight the struggles faced by both immigrants and native citizens, and call out leaders, regardless of party, for fanning the flames rather than solving problems. Throughout the episode, I challenge the status quo, demand a return to decency in governance, and argue for a fair but firm approach to both protest and immigration that can lead to a better future for everyone. “A peaceful fucking protest has nothing to do with burning up cars, looting stores, or throwing stones at police officers.” ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: Differences between peaceful protest and violence in public demonstrations The impact of sanctuary policies on law enforcement and public safety My criticism of politicians who stoke confrontational activism Exploring the legal immigration process versus entering illegally My family’s personal stories of immigration and resilience The strain on public resources from the immigrant crisis in Massachusetts Concerns about the quality of leadership at the local and federal levels My argument for effective immigration reform and economic opportunity Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

As Donald Trump continues to launch unprecedented and innovative attacks on immigrants, civic institutions, and the rule of law, the Democratic response has been—in the eyes of many observers—tepid and inadequate. One answer to the sense of desperation came from Senator Cory Booker, who, on March 31st, launched a marathon speech on the Senate floor, calling on Americans to resist authoritarianism. Booker beat the record previously held by Senator Strom Thurmond's twenty-four-hour-long filibuster of the Civil Rights Act, in 1957, and he spoke in detail about Americans who are in desperate straits because of federal job cuts and budget slashing. “We knew . . . if I could last twenty-four hours and eighteen minutes, that we could potentially command some attention from the public,” Booker tells David Remnick. “That's the key here . . . to deal with the poverty of empathy we have in our nation right now.” Yet Booker bridles as Remnick asks about Democratic strategy to resist the Administration's attacks. Instead, he emphasized the need for “Republicans of good conscience” to step up. “Playing this as a partisan game cheapens the larger cause of the country,” he argues. “This is the time that America needs moral leadership, and not political leadership.”
In this episode, we dive into the latest controversies and power struggles gripping the Trump administration. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces mounting backlash over leaked military intel shared through unsecured Signal chats, while internal turmoil in his office leads to high-profile firings. President Trump backs a controversial $5,000 baby bonus as part of new pro-natalist policies, even as critics warn of deeper economic and ethical concerns. Attorney General Pam Bondi launches a task force to root out anti-Christian bias in the federal government, sparking fierce debate about religious freedom. Meanwhile, the administration faces lawsuits from states over aggressive tariffs, backlash from top universities over funding threats, and legal challenges to education policies targeting diversity programs. On the global stage, Trumps trade war stumbles and Ukraine-Russia ceasefire talks hang in the balance, as Vice President JD Vance hints the U.S. may step back from peace negotiations. We also explore sweeping federal reforms from slashed NASA budgets to AI-driven school mandates, student loan collections resuming, and a push to cut toxic dyes from American food. From campuses to courtrooms, the Trump White House is leaving its markcontroversially and unapologetically.https://linktr.ee/purplepoliticalbreakdown
Has Starmer got balls? Has any politician? #KeirStarmer #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #PoliticalCourage #WestminsterWatch #LeadershipCrisis Kemi Badenoch straight-up told Keir Starmer he's got no balls — in Parliament. Savage. But is she wrong? Honestly, do any politicians have the guts to actually do what people want anymore? Or is it all just safe speeches, focus groups, and vibes? In this video, Jon Gaunt is digging into:
In 1927, the Hollywood stars (and spouses), Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr stood outside their California home, arms raised in fascist salute. The photo's caption, referencing the couple's trip to Rome the previous year, informs fans that the couple “greet guests at their beach camp in true Italian style.” How did “America's sweetheart” and her husband, a swashbuckler on and off screen, both patriots who had promoted Liberty bonds following the United States' entry into World War I, come to normalize something like Italian Fascism in its first decade? How did the Italian-born divo, or star, of Hollywood's silent cinema, Rudolph Valentino come to function as foil and counterpart to Benito Mussolini's, the duce, in public opinion in American culture in the 1920s? Winner of the 2019 award for best book in film/media from the American Association for Italian Studies, The Divo and the Duce: Promoting Film Stardom and the Political Leadership in 1920s America (University of California Press, 2019) tells the story of the relationship between celebrity culture, charismatic leadership and national sovereignty as it plays out on both sides of the Atlantic from roughly 1917 to the end of 1933. Giorgio Bertellini asks how two racially othered foreigners, Valentino and Mussolini, became leading figures in America and how these two icons of chauvinist Latin masculinity became public opinion leaders in a nation undergoing a major democratic expansion in terms of gender, equality, social mobility, and political representation. In the post-WWI American climate of nativism, isolationism, consumerism, and the democratic expansion of civic rights and women's suffrage, the divo and the duce became surprising paragons of both authoritarian male power as well as mass appeal. Bringing together star studies, screen studies, political science, Italian Studies, and American Studies Bertellini's study teaches us to think in new ways about cinema, political authority, masculinity, and race in Italian cinema and beyond. Meticulously archived, the author pays especial attention to the mediators between screens and the polity, a vast cast of players including journalists, photographers, ambassadors and other functionaries of state, advertisers, sponsors, and publicity agents, all of whom, on concert, work to promote the “ballyhoo” of the day.
