There are few places outside of the White House that are as deeply connected to the American Presidency as the Waldorf Astoria New York. For almost a century, this luxury hotel has welcomed every U.S. President since Herbert Hoover through its elegant Art Deco doors on Park Avenue. After leaving office, President Hoover even lived in the Waldorf Astoria Residence for more than three decades before his passing at the age of 90. White House Historical Association president Stewart McLaurin was joined in the newly renovated Waldorf Astoria Residences New York by guests David Freeland, author of American Hotel: The Waldorf-Astoria and the Making of a Century and Jasmin Howanietz, the Executive Director of Sales at the Waldorf Astoria. The hotel and residence underwent an almost eight year renovation, reopening in 2025. The White House Historical Association is thrilled to be a partner in the creation of the Presidential Library and Bar at the Waldorf Astoria Residences New York, a private amenity for the residents that features a curated collection of books and artifacts that bring presidential history to life. Take a peek inside and learn about the rich history of diplomacy that has taken place inside the rooms of the Waldorf Astoria during sessions of the United Nations General Assembly, see a few of the items gifted by U.S. presidents after their stay in the Presidential Suite - including a rocking chair from President John F. Kennedy - and find out why President Richard Nixon loved the Waldorf Astoria so much that he booked the ballroom for his 1968 Election Night party.

Presidential power has expanded far beyond what the framers of the Constitution envisioned. From Lincoln and Roosevelt to Nixon and Trump, presidents have pushed the limits of executive authority — often during moments of crisis. Understanding this history is key to understanding what comes next for American democracyIn this episode, host Simone Leeper speaks with American historians Douglas Brinkley and Rick Perlstein, CLC Executive Director Adav Noti and Juan Proaño, CEO of LULAC. In conversation, they trace how the presidency has gathered sweeping power over time; what happens when oversight of this executive power breaks down; and what legal, legislative and civic reforms could restore accountability, prevent presidential overreach and safeguard the constitutional separation of powers that defines the United States.Timestamps:(00:05) — Why were federal troops deployed in Los Angeles?(05:11) — Can the president legally invoke emergency powers?(07:31) — How did the Founders limit presidential authority?(09:14) — When did executive orders begin to expand presidential power?(10:25) — How did FDR and later presidents redefine the presidency?(13:04) — What did Nixon's “If the president does it, it's not illegal” comment really mean?(15:22) — What are the origins of the so-called unitary executive theory?(18:21) — How are checks and balances failing?(19:42) — Is America sliding toward authoritarianism?(27:57) — How is Campaign Legal Center fighting unlawful presidential overreach through litigation?(30:00) — Why does birthright citizenship matter for American democracy?(33:13) — What can be done to stop abuses of presidential authority?Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at Campaign Legal Center, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy.

Presidential Suite

SEASON 2 EPISODE 98: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: You and I have 305 days until the election and the GOOD news is: if the Supreme Court rules Trump is immune from prosecution for anything he did while president OR if the Supreme Court rules the 14th Amendment DOESN'T disqualify him from the ballot OR if the Supreme Court rules both… Joe Biden can declare himself president for life, he can arrest the Supreme Court, and he can detain Trump without charges or trial and the Supreme Court has just ruled there's not a goddamned thing anybody can do about it, including them. Well thank god THAT'S settled. Happy New Year! I am mystified by the sanctimonious criticisms of Maine striking Trump from the ballot from its Senator Angus King and "Democratic" Congressman Jared Golden. They have decided the Constitution wasn't enough and decided on their own that we needed HIGHER BARRIERS before as a nation we could defend ourselves against a psychotic dictator-in-waiting who wants to turn the government into a personal revenge factory and oh by the way the only thing he's going to remember about YOU Angus King, is that you voted to impeach him. “Under the established Constitutional process," said Senator King from atop his high horse, "absent a final judicial determination of a violation of the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause, I believe the decision as to whether or not Trump should rest with the people as expressed in free and fair elections. This is the ultimate check within our Constitutional system,” This isn't a matter of interpretation for the courts, or for you, Senator King. It's what the 14thAmendment SAYS as opposed to what a fragment of your voters want you to tell them it says. What it SAYS is, your Senate AND the House have a right to REMOVE the disqualification of Donald Trump by a two-thirds vote. It exists. It exists right now. It only STOPS existing if you OVERRIDE IT. By 75 to 25, thank you. That's what it says. THAT is the ultimate check within our Constitutional System. I hope you can hear me up there floating on that cloud above it all. Speaking of, congratulations to The New York Times, which addresses disqualification by quoting Judge Michael Luttig, and balancing him with someone who wrote commercial scripts for Dunkin' Donuts and an L.A. democrat who went on Fox to say he's mad at Joe Biden. And congratulations to The Washington Post for buying out the only one of its reporters who got it - Greg Sargent. But genuine thinks to Green Day, which did what the rest of us can almost never do - pierce the MAGA/Trump Cult/Fascist bubble and show its cultists, to their shock, that they are not a majority and not at all liked.

Deepti is back with Sarah to catch up on so much Bravo.RHONY Legacy is INCREDIBLE. Kelly Bensimmon is such a nightmare but is fueling us with some good TV. Dorinda, Lu and Sonja are deLIGHTING us, Ramona is NOT being as big of a monster (so far?) and Kristen is bringing enough drama. VERY HAPPY with RHONY LEGACY, it's like a big warm hug with our old friends.Beverly Hills is HEAVY. Deepti and Sarah have some disagreements on Sutton...and they discuss. Dorit deserved what she got from Garcelle at the end of Crystal's Taco Tuesday night (COME ON, DORIT!), Kyle is a whole complicated mess that Deepti and Sarah parse through to try to understand their feelings on her. Erika...well...she's been fine! SOUTHERN CHARM - whew!!!! It's been so fantastic this season. Shep/Austen fight with Craig and Whitney and Madison there in Whitney's Presidential Suite was incredible!!! Taylor is off her f'ing rocker. Craig remains ADORABLE. Madison is MVP - she is absolutely fantastic this season.

Ep. 6.08: The Presidential Suite. It's time to cast your ballots for who does the best impression of JFK - Johnny, Roland or Katie! This week the gals discuss mixing business with pleasure, ward off their seasonal depression with a hint of sun-kissed spray tan, and commiserate over the only episode of Schitt's Creek to leave us desperately heartbroken. Grab your tissues!

Can you imagine a former president behind bars? That's the shocking possibility we're discussing today as we delve into Donald Trump's expressed fears of prison. We'll dissect the mountain of evidence piling up from the investigation - classified documents left at Mar-a-Lago, attempts to erase security footage, and more. While the media is ablaze with speculation, we go a step further - exploring the potential implications of separating Trump's trial from that of Cheeseboro and Sidney Powell, and what it spells if Trump isn't the first to face the jury. We're also taking a critical look at the media's role and how evidence could be presented in court without rebuttal. Lastly, we'll be addressing the controversy around equal treatment for former presidents - in an era where Trump supporters clamor for charges against political opponents while defending Trump's actions, we question if a presidential run should grant immunity from criminal liability. It's a loaded discussion you don't want to miss.

We started a brand new journey and are hitting 3 towns as we ramble toward Corpus Christi. The first stop? Auburn, AL. Denise was angling for the prestige of The Laurel Hotel, and scored even bigger when she landed the Presidential Suite at The Hotel at Auburn University. We got to experience the best in AU's culinary arts program and landed an interview with a big fish in the Auburn real estate market (and on TikTok), Amy Barton Cotney! Amy gave us a download on what's happening in the towns of Auburn, Lake Martin and Opelika and it was a hoot. We took in the sights and tastes and bushels of love this town had to offer--and Denise even did it on horseback! We're dropping THREE "Ask a Local" segments for Auburn on YouTube in the coming days, so make sure you subscribe to us for content you can only see there. Find out why we fell in love with the people and the town of Auburn and, as always, please be sure to follow us on the social platform of your choice here.   #emptynest #fulltank  

Few things stir up fear quite like the economy does. Though few of us could even accurately define what “the economy” actually is, talk of a tough economy is enough to cause most people worry.Whether it be mortgage increases, rising inflation, falling stock prices, or looming recessions, as soon as the financial experts start talking down the economy, large parts of the population start seeing problems with their own situation that they don't understand, let alone know how to solve. Given the infinite variety of economic situations that each of us face, coming up with universal tactics that we could all apply is an impossible task. But while there may not be a viable universal tactical approach that we could all take, there is a viable universal strategic approach that we can take.In fact it's so universal, that it isn't just applicable to economic situations, and can apply to any problem or challenge that comes our way…Episode Highlights:[00:45] Tough Economic Features[02:25] Contributing Factors[04:13] Problem is a Consciousness State[05:46] The Impact of Consciousness on Coping with Economic Hardship[07:31] Overloading the Brain[09:07] Fight-Flight Reactivity[10:46] Stress Accumulation vs Deep Restfulness[12:56] Unleash Your Brain's Potential with Vedic Meditation[16:57] Accurate Expectations via Vedic Meditation[18:52] "Where's the Money Going to Come From?"[20:27] Opulence at $5 a Day[21:31] Sleeping on the Couch in the Presidential Suite[22:53] A Fully Awakened Brain[24:12] How to Deal with Problems[25:41] Welcome to the Solution to All ProblemsUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/info@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

First, I am really grateful for all the well-wishes and congratulations we received on the birth of my son. He's doing great, and I'm over the moon. I decided to record a podcast about the experience-- why my wife and I decided to have our first child here last year, as well as our second child this year, and tell you how great the experience was. Naturally, though, we start with a historical perspective. Today's episode begins in ancient India with one of the most famous figures in human history. It turns out that, in addition to being a spiritual icon, he was also an extreme biohacker. We talk about the evolution of medicine, and how healthcare used to be a ‘patient-first', science-driven field. Individual healthcare practitioners today are still that way. Doctors, nurses, and medical researchers have answered a noble calling to help the sick. But the healthcare industry itself is now ruled by insurance companies and political hacks who have managed to increase the cost of care, make it much more bureaucratic, and severely dilute the doctor-patient relationship. I share a story of my step father, who died several weeks ago after being chewed up by a healthcare system that did not seem designed to help him. This is one of the big reasons why we had our children in Mexico; it's a much more liberated healthcare system. In Mexico, we have a very close relationship with the physician, who is unconstrained by bureaucratic policies and idiotic regulations. And if some stupid rule ever does come up? It's Mexico. We ignore it. The births of my children were both fantastic experiences. The hospital was great. The physicians and nurses were great. And the cost? Imagine Nany Pelosi closing her thumb and index finger into a small circle saying, “It costs nothing.” Frankly it's almost embarrassing that the all-in cost of my child's birth was about $1,750, including the ‘Presidential Suite' at one of the best private hospitals in the country. My children are both Mexican citizens (in addition to the four others that they receive from mom and dad). Plus parents AND grandparents are both entitled to permanent residency in Mexico. This proved especially useful for my in-laws; my wife is from Ukraine, so we were able to get the family out of Kiev and relocate them here to Cancun-- because they now have permanent residency. I tell you the whole story in today's episode, which you can listen to here. Open Podcast Transcription [00:00:01.140] Today we're going to go back in time more than 2500 years ago to the mid 500 BC. To the Kingdom of Kashi on the Ganges River in northern India. Now you might not have heard of the Kingdom of Kashi, a lot of people haven't, but it's actually quite historically significant for a couple of reasons that we're going to get into. At the time, in the mid 500s, there was a guy in his mid thirty s, a guy that some of you might know. This name Siddharta Gotama.   [00:00:27.520] And if you don't know his name, you will in a moment. But this is a person who was born into wealth and power and money and status and he renounced it all. As a young man he said, I'm not interested in the money. What I am interested in is spiritual enlightenment. And that might sound a little bit hokey today, but back then that was actually quite a popular social value.   [00:00:49.210] A lot of people said, you know, I want to seek spiritual enlightenment and their culture and their civilization. That was a prized value. And he walked away from all of his worldly possessions and decided that the way he wanted to do that, he was going to hit the road. And he became essentially a wandering beggar. And during that time he experimented with some really extreme conditions.   [00:01:07.920] At the time, in fact, there was a commonly held belief that if you starved yourself that eventually you would achieve spiritual enlightenment. And this seems crazy to us,

Covid-19 cases are skyrocketing every day.  Just when you thought we might be getting somewhere, the latest BA5 variant is spreading like wildfire.  For many businesses this will make no difference, but for many industries like mine, we are watching those numbers like hawks, praying they go down.  Why?  Because our buyers are making decisions not to buy, because of the danger factor of getting the virus.  If buyers reduce or stop buying, the next thing you have to worry about are cash flow prblems.  Can you make the rent and the salary bill every month?  These types of problems are like amoebas – they just keep multiplying.   Any hint of trouble in the business breeds fear in the staff.  Are we going to be okay?  Is this company going down?  Should I be the first rat to jump ship?  If you are not open with the numbers, then you run the risk of supposition, rumours and imaginations in overdrive.  You don't tell them how bad it is, but they know things are bad and they presume they are actually a lot worse than they really are.  If you are transparent with the numbers, they have a clear view of the problem, but they still worry it is a huge problem and perhaps insurmountable.   We read these statements such as “it is lonely at the top”.  As the leader, who can you talk to?  The only words coming out of our mouth with our teams have to positive and confident.  The first sign of a lack of confidence and you could trigger the collapse of the whole edifice.  No matter how much you are hurting, they are not the audience for your fundamental, deep concerns about the business.   What about friends in business?  Certainly, this can include clients.  In fact, my policy is to make every client a friend if possible.  That is not always the case, but in general that is the type of relationship I want.  People like to do business with people they like and that includes those doing the selling, as well as the buying.  You cannot really share your woes with the client no matter how good a friend they are.  They are still the client and they have their own businesses to take care of. The prospect of you the supplier falling over would trigger them to seek more stable supply from somewhere else, regardless of how much they may like you personally.   What about your partner.  When you get home and start sharing all the stresses you are under, what is the impact on the family?  The partner is going to start worrying about the collapse of the family fortunes, what will happen to the house, what about the retirement years provisions?  The leader has to be careful with this messaging as well. There is a tension there between wanting to unburden to release some stress and creating additional burdens for yourself on the home front.   What about friends?  Do you in fact have any close friends?  You may be working so hard in the business, you actually don't have any close friends, because you never have the time to invest in the relationship.  Assuming you do have some friends you can trust with this confidential information, does it help?  Apart from sympathy, they cannot do much.  They have their own problems in life and their own stresses.  Any advice they have is basic and you would have thought about it already.  Or they have advice which isn't helpful because they cannot know your business well enough to make any difference.   What about a coach?  This can be a good idea.  One of the issues is the same as with friends, the coach won't know your business well enough to understand the ramifications of what is going on.  They can help at a high level perhaps.  I am always dubious about so called “life coaches” who have done nothing in their lives?  The same goes with a lot of business coaches, who have achieved nothing in business?  Can a business coach sitting outside of Japan understand Japan well enough to be of any help?  It is a bit like that joke about the consultant borrowing your watch so that they can tell you the time.  The coach who doesn't know Japan has to be educated by you first about the Japan situation in business.   Finding a business coach who knows about Japan and has sufficiently high level commercial experience to see things from the Presidential Suite point of view is a rare beast.  Active Presidents get it and get it perfectly, except they are too busy running their own shop to worry about coaching someone else.  This also presents a potential problem of because they are here, you are possibly opening up a conduit to the market to release things you don't want publicised in the market.  How much can you really share?   It doesn't sound great does it?  In reality the choices are few.  As leaders we have to harden up and find a way to push through.  The key is to be able to manage our stress.  If we know how to do that, then the release we seek can be found.  This could be journaling, meditation or exercise. Drugs and alcohol are creating a fresh set of problems and we already have enough troubles without adding to the pile.   Writing things down for whatever reason, does seem to help.  We can do it in four stages.  What are the problems I am facing?  Which of these many problems is one with the highest priority?  What are some things I can do about it?  Which one of these many solutions is the best choice to get to work on immediately.  It sounds so simple.  That is the genius of this method – it is so simple, but it really works.
