Today we’re talking about American exceptionalism: the idea that the United States is a uniquely virtuous nation and a “shining city on a hill.” It’s a belief that’s long shaped how the U.S. acts on the global stage and how Americans see themselves, the economy and democracy. In the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election, many Americans are questioning the idea of exceptionalism. Journalist Suzy Hansen challenges the notion of American exceptionalism in her book “Notes on a Foreign Country: An American Abroad in a Post-American World.” On the show today, she explains where the idea of American exceptionalism comes from, how it has shaped today’s world, and why many Americans are disillusioned with it. Plus, is a new version of national pride the answer to the pitfalls of American exceptionalism? Then, we'll get into the creative ways the European Union is preparing for President-elect Donald Trump’s promised tariffs. Plus, perspectives from an American abroad and thoughts on mandatory national service. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Unlearning the myth of American innocence” from The Guardian “Opinion | Is America a City on a Hill or a Nation on the Precipice?” from The New York Times “The End of American Exceptionalism: Trump's Reelection Will Redefine U.S. Power” from Foreign Affairs “American Exceptionalism Is a Dangerous Myth” from Intelligencer “The US is leaving millions behind: American exceptionalism needs to change by 2030” from The Brookings Institution “Democrats look at late-night, weekend votes to confirm last Biden judicial nominees” from The Hill “Locked and loaded? The EU weapons to fight Trump's trade war.” from Politico “Oil Glut Set to Thwart Trump's Call to ‘Frack, Frack, Frack'” from Bloomberg We love to hear from you.

Most Americans think their country is in decline. So do their leaders. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump have embraced foreign policies premised on the notion that the global order no longer serves American interests. But these pessimistic assumptions are wrong, Fareed Zakaria argues in a new essay for Foreign Affairs. Moreover, they are leading the country to embrace strategies that will harm much of the world—and the United States most of all. Zakaria is the host of Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN, a columnist for The Washington Post, and the author of The Post-American World.

It considers the political, social, technological, and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In his ten “lessons,” Fareed Zakaria invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community and cooperation embedded in our nature. He also concludes by considering the degree to which nothing is written, and the future is truly in our own hands. StoryShot #1: The First Lesson is to Buckle UpTechnology has advanced considerably over the last few decades. However, instead of stopping and thinking about how we can keep ourselves safe, we have just continued to expand. Zakaria describes this as humans having built the fastest sports car ever imaginable. However, we are driving it into the unknown with no seatbelts on. We haven't equipped any airbags, and we haven't purchased any insurance. Driving this sports car makes us feel innovative, modern, and powerful, but we do experience crashes along the way. Crucially, these crashes are getting worse with time. Despite these crashes, we still haven't stopped to consider the safety precautions we require. Instead, we simply pull the vehicle over, tune-up the suspension, and fix the engine. We continue to make our cars faster and faster, and yet we allow ourselves to be left in more profound danger. Zakaria believes the pandemic is an example of a massive crash. We should not continue our unsustainable expansion after the pandemic. Instead, we should use this as an opportunity to contemplate the safety precautions we need to implement. We need to buckle up. “Outbreaks are inevitable but pandemics are optional.”– LARRY BRILLIANT, QUOTED BY FAREED ZAKARIAStoryShot #2: The Second Lesson is to Improve the Quality of GovernmentAmerica wrongly believed it was too powerful to ever collapse financially and politically. However, the pandemic has proven us all wrong. Many people have started to associate COVID-19 with political polarization and economic dysfunction, with businesses in turmoil and major debates on both sides about the best way to handle the situation. America may remain the most powerful nation for military personnel, but this all means nothing if the lives of America's average citizens are in danger.  America is becoming more inward-looking and obsessed with being patriotic. In doing so, it is missing out on the opportunity to influence world politics and stand at the forefront of innovation. Most of the world has regarded America as a beacon

Join Zuhdi this week as he reflects on the Buffalo grocery store mass shooting and our community response to terrorism, supremacism. We can only defeat root causes if we consistently, proportionally, and routinely address them. Dr. Jasser also looks at the Ohio and Pennsylvania senate races for clues on where conservatives are settling out on bell weather national security and foreign policy matters. This view from the frontlines of anti-Islamism could be instructional.  Keywords: Buffalo, terrorism, racism, Islamism, Muslim brotherhood, Turkey, Erdogan, America First, Mehmet Oz, J D Vance Learn more about your ad choices.

[00:30] The West's ‘Wishful Thinking' (16 minutes)Yesterday, in an interview with the Grayzone, U.S. Col. Douglas Macgregor said the West is trying to “convince the world that a defeat [of Russia] is in progress when, in fact, the opposite is the case.” Western nations, particularly the United States, have been diligently framing their narrative of the war in Ukraine after this manner, but as Colonel Macgregor went on to say, “In the West, there is no truth. There is wishful thinking.” [16:35] Power Vacuum Created by America (8 minutes)Now that America's retreat from Afghanistan is complete, China is aiming to fill the power vacuum and exploit the nation's vast mineral wealth. “China already controls most of the world's rare earth minerals,” wrote the Wall Street Journal. China's engagement with Afghanistan will give it even more control. As we wrote at the Trumpet nearly a decade ago, “We are leaving behind a comfortable era of Western dominance—and entering a new and uncertain era of violent competition for supremacy among remorseless foes.” [24:30] Tucker Is a Traitor? (14 minutes)The left has been calling Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard “traitors” and Russian “assets” for suggesting the U.S. should not engage in war with Russia. Carlson may be a commentator bringing a different perspective to the conversation outside the political and media mob, but he's certainly not a traitor. [38:30] Bible Study: Earnestly Contend (16 minutes)In the book of Jude, God implores true Christians to “earnestly contend for the faith.” In this segment, we take a look at how we must fight to hold on to God's truth. It's a continual fight to come out of Egypt—a figurative type of sin—and to stay out of Egypt during our Christian journey.

“Russia's utterly unprovoked, unjustifiable, immoral invasion of Ukraine would seem to mark the end of an era,” writes Fareed Zakaria, “one that began with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.”Many of us, myself included, grew up in that era. We came of age in a unipolar world, dominated by a single country whose military, economic, even cultural, hegemony remained largely uncontested. That world was by no means free of violence. But the great power conflict that had defined the lived experiences of previous generations seemed like an ancient relic.Recently, it's the post-Cold War era of the last 30 years that has begun to feel outdated. China has become an economic and military powerhouse — its economy is now larger than the third, fourth, fifth and sixth biggest world economies combined. Russia has become geopolitically assertive, annexing Crimea in 2014, undermining U.S. elections , and now invading Ukraine.Over the past few weeks, questions that once came off as alarmist have become urgent: Are we witnessing the return of great power conflict? And if so, what does that mean for America — and the rest of the world?Fareed Zakaria is the host of CNN's “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” a columnist for The Washington Post and one of the most brilliant analysts of this emerging era. His 2003 book “The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad” and his 2008 book “The Post American World” were well ahead of their times. And his more recent work on Russia's aggression, China's rise and the crucial distinctions between those nations is crucial for understanding this moment.We discuss the decline of the so-called “Pax-Americana,” why Zakaria believes Russia poses a much more existential threat to the liberal world order than China, what the West would be doing if it wanted to seriously punish Russia for its actions, whether Putin's attempt to break the liberal world order has actually reinvigorated it, why Zakaria thinks it's a mistake to think of the world as divided into “democratic” and “neo-authoritarian” blocs, how America's expansionism and hypocrisy undermines its reputation abroad, whether Donald Trump was ultimately right about the need for greater European defense spending, what a diplomatic solution to the current Russia-Ukraine war could look like, how America's thinking about the world needs to radically change in a global great power competition and more.

In the previous episode, I briefly talked about the need of America to suppress other regional powers that plan to challenge its hegemony. So, who are they? What are they doing or planning to do?Recently, there have been two new trends in the alliance countries, one is the Russian-Belarusian alliance, the other is the Organization of Turkic States, and another thing is that since the end of World War II, Germany has once again sent a large number of troops to Poland. What is special about these three things? What does it mean?I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone's lives.

My [niece] is 23 and just informed my sister, brother-in-law, and the family that [she] is transgender. (So she is now my niece). She is starting the process of taking hormones and the like. My sister was shocked and did not see it coming. She is very liberal and is coming around to the idea. I was hoping for book recommendations that would help us (especially my sister) understand what my niece has felt like being in the wrong body. In a quick search I found books involving young kids. I was hoping for books centered more on coming out as trans as a 20-something. I'm thinking maybe a biography or non-fiction. Also my whole family loves fantasy so if there's a book in that genre maybe we could read it together. -Klista 2. Love the show!   I'm looking for recommendations to read aloud to my 7 1/2 year old boy/girl twins that I will enjoy too.   We love well-written, funny middle grade books – preferably with animal characters.   They are still sensitive readers – we avoid books with any violence and try to avoid orphaned children or those with not great parents.   We're not scared of long books or intricate language.   Books we've loved (and read over and over) include: The True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp  The Very Very Far North & it's sequel Winnie the Pooh Collected Stories Books we've liked a lot:  Flora & Ulysses  Ruby Lu Brave & True Gooseberry Park Books that I liked but they didn't: Wild Robot Books they love but I'm not as into:  Humphrey series Mrs Piggle Wiggle & Missy Piggle Wiggle We've read most books by Roald Dahl & most age appropriate ones by Kate DiCamillo. They are still too nervous to start Harry Potter. Thanks! -Marisa 3. Hi Jenn and Amanda! I'm finally coming back to Get Booked now that I can read again! (baby girl took all my free time hihi) In the last couple of months, I realised that I love atmospheric books, even if the plot is weak or nonexistent. Some other books I loved are Erin Morgenstern books (both!), The Invisible Life of Addie Larue and Piranesi.  Do you have other recommendations like it? If it's mixed with greek mythology it's even better. Thanks a lot! PS: love from Canada. -Emilie 4. I'd love recommendations for books set in or about Bogota, Colombia. Preferably, something like Chanel Cleeton's books about Cuba that help to understand the history and current impacts or nonfiction about the history. Any genre is fine! -Tracey 5. Two of my favorite books/series I read this year have been “A Deadly Education” by Naomi Novik and “The Murderbot Diaries” by Martha Wells. On the surface they might seem kind of different, but they both had such a great narrative voice, with the right amount of sarcasm/snark/humor, and a completely lovable main character, and they left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Also, my favorite genres are Fantasy and Sci Fi, so these were perfect. I'm so sad I have to wait until more comes out from these authors. Please tell me what I can read while I'm waiting! Thank you! -Lauren 6. I recently read Lost Roses and seriously loved A Gentleman in Moscow before that.   I've also just marathoned The Last Csars on Netflix — and I haven't had my fill!   Can you recommend some historical fiction set in late 19th, early 20th century Russia that will help me get my next Russian nobility fix?  Thank you! -Emily 7. Hello there – Trigger Warning: So this is a tough one since it deals with a sensitive topic – suicide. I'm looking for a book (fiction or non-fiction I suppose, YA or Adult) that deals with how to cope when a friend/family member attempts suicide BUT does not succeed/commit. I find that most books about suicide are dealing with the aftermath of someone's death, but what happens if they didn't die? No one ever seems to talk about that. A recommendation for this would be very helpful, as this past year has been rough and I'd like someone else's perspective of coping with this kind of situation. Sorry this one is a bit of a downer, but important given the need for mental health awareness.

In this episode, Joel Fariss - a design research and strategic futures associate at Gensler (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelfariss/) - and I discuss the nuances of the word “design” in light of 2020 and the future of work and innovation. Based on his experience at Gensler and in the nonprofit world, we dive into the connection between design and value for humanity, the need for time and space for humans to innovate, and the role of grief to create a more equitable work environment. Visit https://satchel.works/@wclittle/ventures-episode-21 for detailed notes and links to resources (videos, articles, etc…) mentioned. You can watch this episode via video here. In this episode we cover the following:   2:40 - Joel intro, design and his journey into Gensler. Design “as a mental model for perceiving the world”. 6:18 - How does Joel think about and define “Design” more broadly? In thinking about the trajectory of human civilization, check out The Ascent of Humanity by Charles Eisenstein.11:53 - Thoughts about design as a software engineer.19:30 - Why we do what we do. The importance of the heuristic of “how am I contributing to humanity”? In thinking about the trajectory of human civilization, check out The Ascent of Humanity by Charles Eisenstein.21:43 - Will as a grad student, thinking about time efficiency, practicality, contributions to society, and designing experiments.23:18 - Standing on the shoulder of giants. Where good ideas come from. The adjacent possible.  25:28 - Thoughts around the future of work and humanity in light of the pandemic. 36:48 - Where does humanity need to go? What needs to be introduced into the Future of Work conversation to benefit humanity? Some great reads regarding work: Brave New Work, Theory and Practice of Resistance to Work, Bullshit Jobs, Can't Even, Dying for a Paycheck, Humanocracy, and Reinventing Organizations. On data, value creation, and future economics check out Who Owns the Future, Radical Markets, Neo Feudalism, Debt, and The Post American World.43:04 - Doing what we can as society to give people more time, which can lead to adjacent possibilities. At the heart of innovation, what has Joel seen “not work” and what has he seen that is promising?49:06 - From a DE&I perspective, what has Joel seen in light of the pandemic and changing landscape of work and design? We talk about the role of grief as an important part of the work environment. To learn more about what grief is and why it is so important, read The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller.55:01 - Where can people find more about Joel online? http://joelfariss.com // https://twitter.com/joelfariss // https://instagram.com/joel.fariss/

Fareed Zakaria is the host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, a columnist for the Washington Post, and one of the most astute foreign policy thinkers of our time. So much of this conversation is focused on just that: How Biden and Trump respectively see the world and want to shape it. In particular, the ways Biden’s foreign policy differs from Obama’s and has changed over the years, whether Trump has a coherent foreign policy at all, and why the most important US foreign policy question is “What is an acceptable level of influence for China to have?” But I also wanted to talk to Zakaria about some broader trends — trends he’s been tracking for some time. Zakaria’s 2003 book The Future of Freedom anticipated the rise of illiberal democracies across the globe long before anyone paid it much attention. His 2008 book The Post-American World described the multipolar international order that, in many ways, we now inhabit. And just recently he authoredTen Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World which forecasts how Covid-19 will change the trajectory of our world.  So in this conversation we also discuss the state of journalism, the dangers of great power war in the 21st century, why Zakaria believes rise of China is far less of a threat than either Republicans or Democrats seem to believe, why a global spike of economic inequality in an already unequal world is perhaps the most important pandemic trend, whether Zakaria has lost faith in America, whether anything short of violent catastrophe can upend concentrations of wealth, how the world’s views of China and America are changing, and much more.

The Story of Rock and Roll Season 2, Episode 1 went out live at midnight on 3 Dec 2020.  It was a great little show, a very decent way to start off the new decade.  God knows where we'll be in another 10 years, pretty sure podcasts like this will be like talking about cassette tapes.  It was great to be back in the midnight time slot, but it felt like it was over before we started.  The show kicked off with Krokus followed by a bit of Walking in the 'Shadow of the Blues'.  That was courtesy of White Snake and then we were off and running, pedal to the metal for the next two hours.  We dealt with the Ozzy Osbourne, deathbed or no deathbed issue, contemplated a 'Post American World' with Megadeth and checked out some Papa Roach.  It's hard to believe Papa Roach have been around for 20 years!  The highlight of the show for me was Slipknot with 'Opium of the People', hearing a song like that in the early of the morning is just so special.  The South African music was covered by Cutting Jade, The Color Blue and of course Seether.    Artists featured this episode include:  Megadeth, Joe Bonamassa, Cutting Jade, ACDC, Krokus, Ramones, The Color Blew, Whitesnake, Night Ranger, Metallica, Ozzy Obourne, Kid Rock, Seether, Black Label Society, Clutch, Wolfmother, My Chemical Romance, Thin Lizzy, Slipknot, John Mellencamp, Social Distortion, Papa Roach, Rainbow, Volbeat, Soundgarden & The Gaslight Anthem.  

In this episode of AFP Conversations, we speak with Fareed Zakaria, best-selling author, host of Fareed Zakaria GPS for CNN Worldwide, and a columnist for The Washington Post. Esquire magazine once called Zakaria “the most influential foreign policy adviser of his generation.” From the volatility of the financial markets to the innovation trends impacting the future of work, treasury and finance leaders must be prepared to navigate a rapidly changing, complex landscape. And no one is more qualified to deliver up-to-the-minute insights into the geopolitical and economic risks impacting you, your organization, and the global economy, than Fareed Zakaria. That's why he was invited to be a keynote speaker at AFP 2019. AFP 2019, this October in Boston, is where treasury and finance professionals separate the hype from the reality.

Jon Lee Anderson, Peter Bergen and Steve Coll in conversation with Navtej Sarna. The growth of India, China, Brazil, Russia and Africa is generating a new landscape. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, highest-grossing movies and most advanced mobile phones are now all being made outside Europe and the United States. Regions that previously lacked political confidence and national pride are finding them, alongside a newfound economic clout. Can the West transform its global strategy by moving from a position of hegemony to one that recognises this seismic power shift? A distinguished panel look into the future in a conversation moderated by former Indian Ambassador to the US Navtej Sarna. This episode is a live session from day 3 of #ZEEJLF2019.

When The New York Times Magazine writer Suzy Hansen joined a two-year fellowship in Istanbul, she sought to immerse herself in Turkey’s politics and culture. Ultimately, the experience exposed her to the biases and prejudice she held against other, non-American, nations. Join us as the Pulitzer Prize finalist delves into issues of American exceptionalism and attempts to answer the question: what is America’s place in the world?

Dave's guest is journalist and author Suzy Hansen, whose first book Notes on a Foreign Country: An American Abroad in a Post American World blends personal memoir and historical journalism to reflect on America’s complicated position in the world and the author’s own journey of self-discovery which unfolded over 10 years working and living in Turkey. A 2018 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in General Non-Fiction, Hansen’s honest and compelling book deconstructs American exceptionalism and all the gnarly stuff it has wrought and continues to do so – both abroad, but also here at home.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ABDICATED He abdicated that which was not his to abdicate In his first months as president he showed himself ready to give up American sovereignty for the primicy of international law; regulation on climate change,gun control, and free speech (including speech on the internet)  And the replacement of the dolor as the basic international currency. Durring his campaign, Obama declared his affinity for international law. This is a deeply troubling presidency-and a dangerous period in American History.

A brief summary of this episodeA Post American World? Really?August 25, 2008 http://goodies.wizardacademypress.com/MMM080825-PostAmericanWorld.mp3 (Listen) Our American men dropped the baton in the 4×100 meter relay. It was embarrassing. Unthinkable. A few minutes later our American women did precisely the same thing. The commentators were brutal, but accurate: “You have to look at the new leadership at USA Track and Field and wonder if it's been a vacuum of leadership. There does seem to be no cohesiveness. It seems that everyone has their own agenda.” Bob Costas wrapped it up by saying, “Did you notice that all the other nations had their country names nicely printed on their bibs? And look at the Americans: ‘USA' written on theirs in magic marker.” Oil is more than $120/barrel, which makes the cost of driving home from work approximately the same as the cost of dinner. Gold and platinum recently rose to all-time high prices because rich people hoard precious metals when they lose confidence in the leadership of America. Our newscasters make certain we go to bed each night knowing inflation and unemployment are on the rise. Thanks guys. You're a real ray of sunshine. I switched off the TV, went online and stumbled across a headline posted by CBS News: “Coming Soon: A Post-American World.” The subtitle said, “With The Rise Of China And Other Economies, The Golden Age Of American Influence May Be Coming To An End.” The story opened by saying, “Millions of us have been swept up in the color and drama of the Olympic Games. But the Beijing Stadium isn't the only arena for global competition. Now, after decades of dominance, will the U.S. soon be 'passing the torch'”? CBS went on to say, “America's beverage, Budweiser beer, is now owned by Belgians… And isn't the United States supposed to be the place with the biggest and best of everything? The tallest building in the world isn't in New York or Chicago anymore. It's in Taipei. The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, once the world's largest, isn't even in the top ten now. The biggest one's in – surprise, surprise – China.” CBS then quoted Albert Keidel, an expert on China's economy, as saying China “will deserve and demand leadership in global institutions.” CBS asked rhetorically, “Are we slipping? Are we reaching some inevitable tipping point that will change the world as we know it? Is the golden age of America coming to an end?” I turned off my computer and grinned as I recalled Mark Twain's response to the American newspaper that printed his obituary. His telegram said, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Yes, it's dark and it's getting cold. But I've already seen this movie, so I know how it ends. It was 1980. Our president was miffed because Russia had invaded Afghanistan, so he told our athletes they couldn't compete in the Olympics in Moscow. Oil and gold were at an all-time high and we were in the grip of rising inflation. Even more embarrassing was the fact that fifty-two U.S. diplomats were held hostage in Iran for 444 days. Our president tried to rescue them but America's helicopters broke down and 8 of our military people lost their lives. Iran laughed at us. Then we got a new president. The Iranians respected the new guy and released the hostages while he was taking the oath of office. My comments today have nothing to do with political parties. My comments have to do with leadership. And optimism. And the ability to inspire optimism in others. When times are good, America gets soft. I've seen it. But when times get tough, America tightens her belt, rolls up her sleeve and shows her true colors. I've seen that, too. All we need is a leader. Oh, yes. I have one last thing to say: Kiss my ass, CBS. We're about to have an election. Roy H. Williams
