Michael McFaul outlines a grand strategy that leverages the military, economic, and ideational strengths of the democratic world. He acknowledges that American democracy is "wobbling" due to polarization, yet he remains optimistic that the values of freedom and liberty still hold more global appeal than autocratic models. McFaul warns against isolationist trade policies and underscores the need to reinvest in Cold War-era institutions like Radio Free Europe. Ultimately, he argues that a united, functional democracy at home is the best way to lead the new international order. (8)1897

Who had the dumbest political take of the week: Bernie, the war party, or libertarians themselves? Nate is solo for Dumb Bleep of the Week, and this one turns into a roast of everyone. Anna Paulina Luna's alleged "smack" gets the SmackGate treatment. Bernie Sanders wants the public to own 50% of major AI companies. Scott Bessent brings up Woodrow Wilson, which should immediately set off every liberty alarm in your brain. Then the episode shifts into Iran, war powers, Dave Rubin, Mark Levin, Trump's "moderate shooting" ceasefire line, Austin Peterson, and the final question: are some libertarians more loyal to the Libertarian Party than to libertarianism?

In the final segment, Michael McFaul outlines a grand strategy for democratic revival, asserting that democracies still hold superior military and economic power if they remain united. He stresses the urgent need to fix domestic polarization and institutional "wobbling" to restore the U.S. as a global beacon of emulation. McFaul argues for reforming international trade and investing in Cold War-era institutions like Radio Free Europe to promote democratic ideas. He concludes that while the "glory days" of 1991 are gone, a proactive, forward-looking agenda focused on freedom and multilateral cooperation is the best path to national security.

Stephanie Baker is a Senior Writer at Bloomberg, covering the intersection of business and politics. She has also written for The Moscow Times and Radio Free Europe. Stephanie is author of a fantastic book, Punishing Putin: Inside the Global Economic War to Bring Down Russia. It tells the story of how a furious financial war unfolded following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, from seizing superyachts to manipulating the global price of oil to blocking the sale of military technology -- a series of unprecedented sanctions that have radically rearranged global alliances.----------LINKS: Twitter: @stephanibakerhttps://stephaniebakerwriter.com/ ----------BOOKS:https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Punishing-Putin/Stephanie-Baker/9781668050583https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/punishing-putin-inside-the-global-economic-war-to-bring-down-russia-stephanie-baker?variant=40921316196430----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Pionniers du rock alternatif, héros des radios universitaires, Michael Stipe et sa bande ont passé dix ans à écumer les bars et l'underground américain avant de sortir, en 1991, leur septième album : Out of Time.Un disque "hors du temps", avec un riff de mandoline improbable, des arrangements baroques et des textes énigmatiques. Des ballades crépusculaires comme "Low" ou "Country Feedback", des hymnes imparables comme "Shiny Happy People" et bien sûr "Losing My Religion".Contre toute attente, Out of Time propulse R.E.M. au sommet : numéro 1 aux États-Unis, six MTV Video Music Awards, des millions d'albums vendus à travers le monde. Et ce, sans même faire de tournée promotionnelle !Mais comment ces quatre outsiders ont-ils réussi à conquérir les charts avec un disque que leur propre maison de disques trouvait trop bizarre ? C'est ce qu'on va vous raconter dans cet épisode !Olivia retrace le parcours de R.E.M., des bars d'Athens jusqu'à l'explosion mondiale ; Greg nous emmène dans les studios (de Bearsville à Paisley Park) pour décortiquer le son de l'album et la genèse de "Losing My Religion" ; et Fanny décrypte l'univers visuel d'Out of Time, de la pochette signée par les frères Starn au clip culte réalisé par Tarsem Singh. Crédits :— Générique : Dr Alban "Sing Hallelujah"— Titres écoutés dans l'émission : "Radio Song", "Losing My Religion", "Low", "Near Wild Heaven", "Endgame", "Shiny Happy People", "Belong", "Half A World Away", "Texarkana", "Country Feedback", "Me In Honey", "Radio Free Europe", "So Central Rain", "The One I Love".

In ganz Polen feiern die Gläubigen am Ostersonntag eines der wichtigsten Feste im christlichen Kalender - die Auferstehung Christi. Im überwiegend römisch-katholischen Land ist Ostern tief in der Tradition und im christlichen Erbe verwurzelt. Mehr dazu im Magazin. Der Glaube und das Wort - sie begleiten viele Menschen in Polen seit Generationen. Eine besondere Rolle spielte dabei auch das Radio. Als im Jahr 1952 die polnische Redaktion von Radio Free Europe ihre Arbeit aufnahm, betonte ihr Leiter Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, seine Mitarbeiter seien keine „Seelsorger“. Ganz zutreffend war das jedoch nicht - denn auch katholische Geistliche saßen am Mikrofon. Welche Bedeutung hatten diese Sendungen für viele Hörer und Hörerinnen in Polen? UND: Der Auslandsdienst des Polnischen Rundfunks feiert in diesem Jahr sein 90-jähriges Bestehen. Wie arbeitete die deutsche Redaktion in den 60er- und 70er-Jahren - in einer Zeit des Kalten Krieges, der Zensur und begrenzter technischer Möglichkeiten?

Trump kündigt einen US-Rückzug aus dem Iran an, doch Teheran bestreitet Verhandlungen mit Washington. Polens Außenminister Sikorski betont bei einem Besuch in Kiew, die Ukraine kämpfe auch für das Recht Europas, in Frieden zu leben. In Jordanien trifft Verteidigungsminister Kosiniak-Kamysz König Abdullah und kündigt eine vertiefte Rüstungskooperation an. In Berlin startet die Ausschreibung für ein Denkmal, das an die polnischen Opfer der deutschen Besatzung erinnern soll. Und: Die polnische Fußballnationalmannschaft verpasst nach einer dramatischen 2:3-Niederlage gegen Schweden die WM 2026. In der Presseschau: die Kontroverse um mögliche Verlegung polnischer Patriot-Batterien in den Nahen Osten und die Debatte um staatlich subventionierte Treibstoffpreise. Im Magazin erinnert Wojciech Osiński an Pater Tadeusz Kirschke, den Kaplan von Radio Free Europe. Außerdem: eine Archiv-Sendung über polnische Volksinstrumente aus dem Jahr 1961.

The room lifted before the first chord. Athens came alive with a storyteller's spark, a stripped-down trio threading classics and new cuts, and two supercharged nights honoring R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant that turned a tribute into living history. We walked in as fans and left feeling like part of a scene that refuses to fade.We start with Jason Narducy weaving road stories from Mostly The Van between raw, punchy songs, including a punk blast from his first band and a brush with the Grohl family tree. Then Kevin Kinney and Peter Buck lock in with Scott McCaughey, Elizabeth Cook steps up on guitar and harmonies, and a Todd Snider salute lands with real weight. Five musicians shoulder to shoulder on a tiny stage close the night in a hush you can feel. The next evening, Bobcat Goldthwait cracks wise with self-deprecating gems, Michael Shannon and Narducy run Pageant front to back at the 40 Watt, where Hyena bites, I Believe glows, and Underneath The Bunker turns seismic when Bill Berry sits in. The crowd knows every word. The band knows exactly why they're here.Peter Buck joins for South Central Rain and Sitting Still; Radio Free Europe detonates with McCaughey; Star 69 brings the Monster snarl. Shannon's sister adds cello to Nightswimming, Linda Hopper honors Lynn Blakey, and Vanessa Briscoe Hay snaps the line to Pylon. We trace roots to Wuxtry Records at 50, the longest-running record store in Georgia and the place where Michael Stipe met Peter Buck. Along the way we unpack cover-song surprises like Superman, revisit California Dreamin's Barry McGuire take, and relive earworms from Garbage's Only Happy When It Rains to the family rituals that music quietly builds.If you love R.E.M., Athens indie rock, record store lore, and the electricity of a room singing in unison, this ride will hit you in the chest. Press play, share it with a friend who ever lost their voice at a show, and leave a review to help more music lovers find us.Send us a one-way message. We can't answer you back directly, but it could be part of a future Music In My Shoes Mailbag!!!

Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot discuss the music, history and legacy of R.E.M. with biographer Peter Ames Carlin.

A sleepy town of 22,000 people in southern Slovakia is home to a top-flight football club that is challenging for national titles and boasts an ultra-modern, sleek stadium that is entirely out of step with its surroundings – thanks to money from abroad.We paid a visit to Dunajská Streda to watch local team DAC 1904 play domestic giants Slovan Bratislava in a top-of-the table clash in Slovakia. But this was no ordinary game. It was the most politically charged football match we've ever seen.The reason for that lies far beyond the football pitch. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is funding clubs in neighbouring countries as part of a broader political strategy – one that may help him win re-election in April and shape the balance of power in the EU.Elsewhere, the Copa Libertadores is reportedly preparing to invite guest clubs from Mexico and the US to participate in the competition starting in 2027, while Chinese football has hit a new low after nine of the Super League's 16 clubs were deducted points.Chapters00:00 - Intro01:49 - Live game: DAC 1904 v Slovan Bratislava14:32 - Viktor Orbán's political power play21:18 - Copa Libertadores guest invitations23:04 - Analysis from Jon Arnold25:59 - China's Super League low point27:21 - Analysis from John DuerdenSources for the lead storyAtlatszo: https://english.atlatszo.hu/2018/12/11/the-orban-government-spent-billions-on-hungarian-football-clubs-in-serbia-romania-and-slovakiaBalkan Insight: https://balkaninsight.com/2025/07/08/hungary-and-croatia-build-stadium-for-e7-5-million-in-village-of-500-inhabitantsDenník: https://dennikn.sk/1380564/bolo-to-ako-vojna-bitka-policajtov-s-fanusikmi-dunajskej-stredy-po-ktorej-sa-zmenil-zakon/Radio Free Europe: https://www.rferl.org/a/hungary-orban-sport-influence-romania/31977287.htmlSalzburger Nachrichten:https://www.sn.at/sport/fussball/international/dac-dunajska-streda-orbans-aushaengeschild-in-der-slowakei-art-371392

Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, accomplished producers and performers on their own, came together to produce one of rock's greatest debut albums, R.E.M.'s Murmur. That 1983 classic plus the preceding, Easter-produced EP, Chronic Town, have gotten the all-analog, One Step treatment in a numbered, limited-edition vinyl release from Interscope-Capitol's Definitive Sound Series. We reunited Easter and Dixon to discuss the making of Murmur plus the follow-up they produced, Reckoning. What did they each bring to the process? Why does one of them consider Murmur to be the Dark Side of the Moon of the New Wave era? What had changed by the time they recorded Reckoning? Easter also talks about working again with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills on the latest Baseball Project album, and Easter and Dixon offer details about Murmur that even this longtime R.E.M. fanatic found revelatory. (You'll never hear “Radio Free Europe” or “Perfect Circle” in the same way.)

Seventy-five years ago, Radio Free Europe started broadcasting news to audiences behind the Iron Curtain.It initially broadcast to Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania and programmes were produced in Munich, Germany. It now reaches nearly 50 million people a week, in 27 languages in 23 countries. Rachel Naylor speaks to former deputy director, Arch Puddington. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: An engineer at Radio Free Europe in 1960.

Actualités. Gros plan. Ce 17 novembre, c'est la journée de la lutte pour la liberté et la démocratie. Cette journée commémore la Révolution de velours qui a mis fin au régime communiste au moment ou le rideau de fer disparaissait et alors que le bloc communiste se désagrégeait. Nous écouterons un historien Jozef Žatkuliak, qui nous parlera du sens de cette date. Il reviendra sur le contexte international des événements et sur la chronologie des faits.Nous nous entretiendrons avec Anton Selecky dissident de la premiere heure, correspondant pour Radio Free Europe, et emprisonné a Bratislava alors que la révolte grondait aux portes de sa prison. Des enregistrements tirés de nos archives.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's and President Donald Trump's address to top military brass today. They also talk about the politics of a government shutdown, and whether the loss of federal jobs will affect how Democrats view the closure. Then, they talk about the good sales numbers for Kamala Harris' new book, and yesterday's decision by a federal judge to block the Trump Administration from firing more that 500 employees of the US Agency for Global Media, which oversees the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and other international broadcasters. Then finally, RDP contributor Maggie Miller talks with writer and podcaster Ana Kasparian about her latest piece for RealClear Investigations on the state of the California economy.

I was traveling this week, so today is mostly sharing a podcast with Pedro Lopez, who created the remarkable series Gloria on Netflix. Regarding investments, I want to share a brief follow-up on last week's post about the impact of AI on labor. A fun fact: there are over 6 million jobs in the US tied to driving a vehicle of some sort, making up 5% of the workforce. While regulations and unions discourage this, many of these jobs could be replaced today by a computer, which would be both safer and cheaper. The consensus is that AI will only slowly impact the labor force. I suspect this is wrong and it will only become obvious after it has happened. A possible straw in the wind is that youth unemployment is higher in the US and China, the two countries at the forefront of AI application. I show both charts below.Source: Haver.I know anecdotally from college-age kids and their parents that it is hard to find work. This is certainly true in the US, Canada, and China. AI is particularly good at entry-level work. This is less evident in Europe, and it stands to reason that Europe's labor laws might make it harder to gut the IT department, creating a delayed effect and staving off the inevitable. Regarding the podcast, in addition to AI, we are living through a period of media creative destruction. The internet gave birth to Netflix and signaled the decline of the major television networks and film studios. Pedro created a story about another media revolution—Radio Free Europe in Portugal in 1968. The story takes place during the height of the Cold War and Portugal's own dictatorship and is full of fascinating contradictions. When I grew up in the 1970s, the odds of me consuming Pedro's art were close to zero. Now I don't know what airs on television but pass along good Netflix shows like precious currency in a new bazar.

The ‘Quietly Confident Quartet' of Mark Tonelli (backstroke), Peter Evans (breaststroke), Mark Kerry (butterfly), and Neil Brooks (freestyle) won Gold in the 4 × 100 metres medley relay at the Summer Olympics in Moscow on 24th July, 1980: the only time the United States had not won the event. It was Australia's first Gold medal for eight years, but reaction back home to the swimmers' astonishing victory was mixed, because some of their countrymen - including the Australian government - believed the team, like the USA, should have boycotted the games due to Russia's invasion of Afghanistan. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly debate whether their triumph was one of determination or youthful confidence; explain why the Seamen's Union Of Australia played a pivotal role in getting them to Moscow; and investigate the Soviets' claims to have run ‘the cleanest Games on record'… Further Reading: • Mark Tonelli Relives Legendary Commentator Norman May's famous Moscow call: “Gold…Gold to Australia…Gold.!!” (Swimming World, 2020): https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/mark-tonelli-relives-legendary-commentator-norman-mays-famous-moscow-call-goldgold-to-australiagold/ • ‘The 1980 Olympics Are The 'Cleanest' In History.

Today, Jess, Les, and Amy unpack the implications of the U.S. shutting down Voice of America and scaling back support for Radio Free Europe—two longtime tools of American public diplomacy. As funding dries up and staff are furloughed, adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran are moving to fill the vacuum in the global information space.Is the U.S. be ceding ground in the global competition for soft power? How should the U.S. modernize its messaging tools to meet today's information challenges?

Traian grew up in Romania during the tumultuous 1980s under the shadow of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. We learn about the harsh realities of life under communism, where shortages of basic goods were commonplace. He shares the clever tactics he and his family employed to navigate these challenges, including trading items with tourists and listening to forbidden radio stations like Radio Free Europe for music and news. These experiences shaped his understanding of the world outside Romania, igniting a desire for freedom and change. The narrative takes a dramatic turn as the Romanian revolution unfolds in December 1989. Traian recounts the fear and uncertainty that gripped the nation as protests erupted, leading to the eventual overthrow of Ceaușescu. He vividly describes his school trip during this pivotal moment and the surreal experience of returning home to a city forever changed by the events of those days.

Season Two of On the Media's Peabody-winning series The Divided Dial is the untold story of shortwave radio: the way-less-listened to but way-farther-reaching cousin of AM and FM radio. The medium was once heralded as a utopian, international, and instantaneous mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet. But like the internet, it also took a turn for the chaotic. And like AM and FM talk radio, it also went hard to the right, with extremists and cults still finding a home on the shortwaves EPISODE 1:You know AM and FM radio. But did you know that there is a whole other world of radio surrounding us at all times? It's called shortwave — and, thanks to a quirk of science that lets broadcasters bounce radio waves off of the ionosphere, it can reach thousands of miles, penetrating rough terrain and geopolitical boundaries. How did this instantaneous, global, mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet — go from a utopian experiment in international connection to a hardened tool of information warfare and propaganda?  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine?  This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.  Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

The Trump administration has cut funding for Voice of America, the 80-year-old state media network. On this week's On the Media, how pulling federal funds from VOA's parent organization will imperil press freedom abroad. Plus, a Radio Free Europe journalist describes being detained for nine months in Russia until she was released alongside Evan Gershkovich.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Nicole Hemmer, political historian and co-host of the podcast “This Day.” They discuss the complicated history of Voice of America, which was founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda.

Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi brand said this week that it is examining various long-term strategies, including potentially shifting production to America, to deal with President Donald Trump's restrictions on foreign imports. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said that the company is “currently assessing various scenarios for additional localization in North America – among other things, to be closer to the needs of local customers and to make ourselves more resilient to global economic uncertainties.”Although no firm decision was made this week, the German auto giant said that it would be announcing later this year where it intends to produce its primary vehicle models for the American market.

The CIA were controlling mass media and were controlling groups like the Black Panthers to conduct protests. Kinda sounds similar to BLM doesn't it? Then President JFK shows up to the briefing, and suggests that CIA covert action programs are outside the scope of the CIA's supposed primary intelligence gathering mission, and was not worth the taxpayer money. This is why the CIA didn't like JFK. He was onto their schemes, and was trying to shut them down.   I thought they were only allowed to work on foreign issues?

In this episode, I sit down with John O'Sullivan, a former policy and speech writer for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and former editor-in-chief of National Review and executive editor of Radio Free Europe. Today, he's the president of the Danube Institute, a Hungary-based think-tank.A “unified national identity is an absolute essential for a successful democracy,” he says. “If we continue on a multicultural path, it's a path which is going to go in the directions of ever more aggressive and hostile identity politics, and people will feel that their neighbors are their enemies.”O'Sullivan's latest book is titled: “Sleepwalking into Wokeness: How We Got Here.”“The idea of post-nationalism is unachievable if you're a state. You don't remain just a post-national state, what you become is something else,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Tommy and Ben discuss the lack of foreign policy discussion in speeches at the DNC in Chicago, protests over Gaza happening outside of the convention, and reports that Trump could be influencing Netanyahu's decision to hold off on agreeing to a ceasefire deal. They also talk about Ukraine's incursion into Russia causing a pause in negotiations to stop attacks on energy infrastructure, the anti-democratic nature of Thai politics as they welcome a new Prime Minister, and Ramzan Kadyrov's tricked out Tesla Cybertruck. Then Ben speaks to Alsu Kurmasheva, the Radio Free Europe reporter who was recently freed in a historic prisoner exchange with Russia. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
