Podcasts about reagan administration

The podcast show we are releasing this week focuses generally on the so-called “Unitary Executive Theory” and specifically on the legality of President Trump firing without cause the Democratic Commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission and the members of other independent agencies, despite language in the governing statutes that prohibit the President from firing a member without cause and a 1935 Supreme Court opinion in Humphrey's Executor holding that the firing of an FTC Commissioner by the President is unlawful if done without cause. Our guest is Patrick Sobkowski who teaches constitutional law, courts and public policy, and American politics at Marquette University. His scholarship focuses on constitutional and administrative law, specifically the administrative state and its relationship to the other branches of government. Our show began with an explanation of the “Unitary Executive Theory” which is defined as a constitutional law theory according to which the President has sole authority over the executive branch including independent federal agencies. It is based on the so-called “vesting clause “of the Constitution which vests all executive power in the President. The theory often comes up in disagreements about the president's ability to remove employees within the executive branch (including Federal agencies); transparency and access to information; discretion over the implementation of new laws; and the ability to control agencies' rule-making. There is disagreement about the doctrine's strength and scope. More expansive versions are controversial for both constitutional and practical reasons. Since the Reagan Administration, the Supreme Court has embraced a stronger unitary executive, which has been championed primarily by its conservative justices. We then discussed a litany of Supreme Court opinions dealing with the question of whether the President has the unfettered right to remove executive agency employees: a. Myers v. US (1926) b. Humphrey's Executor (1935) c. Morrison v. Olson (1988) d. Seila Law (2020) We then discussed Trump's removals of the Democratic members of the National Labor Relations Board and Merit Systems Protection Board and the Supreme Court's opinion and order staying the lower court's order that the removals were unlawful. In addition to casting doubt on the continued viability of Humphrey's Executor, the Court included dicta to the effect that the logic of its opinion about the NLRB and the MSPB would not apply to the Federal Reserve Board because the Fed is not really an executive agency and that its functions are more akin to the functions performed by the First Bank and Second Bank of the United States. Alan Kaplinsky, the founder and former practice group leader for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group hosted the podcast. The podcast recording is here.

The Diplomacy of Détente: Cooperative Security Policies from Helmut Schmidt to George Shultz (Routledge, 2020) investigates the underlying reasons for the longevity of détente and its impact on East–West relations. The volume examines the relevance of trade across the Iron Curtain as a means to facilitate mutual trust, as well as the emergence of new habits of transparency regardless of recurring military crises. A major theme of the book concerns Helmut Schmidt's foreign policy and his contribution to the resilience of cooperative security policies in East–West relations. It examines Schmidt's crucial role in the Euromissile crisis, his Ostpolitik diplomacy and his pan-European trade initiatives to engage the Soviet Union in a joint perspective of trade, industry and technology. Another key theme concerns the crisis in US–Soviet relations and the challenges of meaningful leadership communication between Washington and Moscow in the absence of backchannel diplomacy during the Carter years. The book depicts the freeze in US–Soviet relations after the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, the declaration of martial law in Poland, and Helmut Schmidt's efforts to serve as a mediator and interpreter working for a relaunch of US–Soviet dialogue. Eventually, the book highlights George Shultz's pivotal role in the Reagan Administration's efforts to improve US-Soviet relations, well before Mikhail Gorbachev's arrival. This book will be of interest to students of Cold War studies, diplomatic history, foreign policy and international relations. Learn more about your ad choices.

I Sverige, USA och på många andra håll i världen dras det ner på bistånd till låginkomstländer och redan nu har det fått förödande konsekvenser för den globala hälsan. Men vad menas egentligen med global hälsa och varför har vi så svårt att förstå att fler sjukdomsutbrott och försämrat välstånd i slutändan drabbar oss själva? På det svarar Anna-Mia Ekström som är professor i global infektionsepidemiologi vid Karolinska institutet samt infektionsläkare på Södersjukhuset. Dessutom pratar Emma och Clara om George W Bushs bortglömda superhjältebragd, behovet av en Hans Rosling i mörka tider och såklart även om freden, vaccinet och potäterna.Klipp och musik:BBC, USAID- HIV Drugs become scarce in Nigeria as Trump shuts USAIDUppsala universitet, Antibiotikaresistens – En tyst pandemiSVT, Kraftig ökning av mässling i Europa – högsta antalet fall på 25 årSvenska läkaresällskapet, Hans Rosling at Global Health - beyond 2015Vanity Fair, Reagan Administration's Chilling Response to the AIDS CrisisVår tenta i global hälsa hittar du på instagram, @akursen_poddmail: akursenpodd@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Show Notes Episode 495: The Buck Stops Elsewhere Part 2 of Iran Contra This week Host Dave Bledsoe demands immunity from paying his bartabs only to be found in contempt by the bartender. (Again) On the show this week we take a look at the fallout from the Iran Contra Affair. (Spoiler: No one went to jail.) Along the way we discover that Dave has a dubious idea of what “truth” means. (If you are just now learning this, welcome to the show) Then we dive into why Congress has the ability to investigate things. (Campaign advertisements) Then we talk about how a plane crash in Nicaragua and a magazine in Lebanon caused the whole Iran Contra Affair to come apart at the seams. (The magazine was Highlights for Kids) We take a look at how the Reagan Administration reacted to being accused of doing all the crimes they actually did and how Congress “accidentally” made sure no one would suffer any consequences for breaking the laws. Our Sponsor this week is Shreds It All, when you need documents gone fast, call Shreds it All.  We open with the Gipper denying he did anything wrong and close with Lily Kerbey and Tom Parker who want to be clear, it wasn't them.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/08/2025): 3:05pm- Tariff Fight: President Donald Trump responded to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's offer to reduce the European Union's tariffs to zero on cars and industrial goods imported from the United States. While the initial offer wasn't enough to spare the EU from the Trump Administration's tariffs, President Trump did state that if the EU commits to importing $350 billion of American energy, an agreement can be reached. Meanwhile, in a post to X, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that he has received the green light to begin trade negotiations with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his cabinet. 3:15pm- White House Infighting? DOGE chief Elon Musk referred to Trump Administration economic advisor Peter Navarro as a “moron” over his pro-tariff arguments. When asked about the feud, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the disagreement as nothing serious, explaining: “boys will be boys.” 3:30pm- According to reports, Harvard University is now offering freshmen the opportunity to enroll in a remedial math course—as many incoming students don't have the math skills necessary to excel at the Ivy League school. 3:40pm- In a win for the Trump Administration, the Supreme Court ruled that nonprofit groups lacked standing to file a lawsuit over the firing of 16,000 public sector workers from the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs. In another ruling, the court concluded that the administration can continue to deport Venezuelan migrants who are in the U.S. unlawfully. Both cases have been described as “technical rulings.” 4:00pm- Surrounded by energy workers, President Donald Trump signed an executive order protecting domestic energy production—specifically, coal. The order protects several coal-fired power plants that would otherwise have been shuttered. 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Alexandria Ocasio Cortez flying first class while on her way to host a “Fight Oligarchy” rally in Las Vegas. Plus, several anti-Trump protesters have no idea what they're even protesting…and can't define fascism. And did Sen. Cory Booker accomplish anything by delivering a 25-hour speech from the Senate floor? Nope. It wasn't even a real filibuster as he wasn't challenging any specific piece of proposed legislation! 5:40pm- During “Hands Off” protests across the country, Trump Administration protesters expressed their disdain for the president. But the most memorable complaint was courtesy of an individual who claimed Donald Trump doesn't want her to use the bathroom! 6:05pm- Tariff Fight: President Donald Trump responded to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's offer to reduce the European Union's tariffs to zero on cars and industrial goods imported from the United States. While the initial offer wasn't enough to spare the EU from the Trump Administration's tariffs, President Trump did state that if the EU commits to importing $350 billion of American energy, an agreement can be reached. Meanwhile, in a post to X, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that he has received the green light to begin trade negotiations with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his cabinet. 6:10pm- Reagan Administration economist Art Laffer expressed optimism regarding President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs—determining that countries will ultimately negotiate for decreased tariffs, resulting in freer trade and with fewer restrictions on the importation of American-made goods internationally. 6:30pm- In a win for the Trump Administration, the Supreme Court ruled that nonprofit groups lacked standing to file a lawsuit over the firing of 16,000 public sector workers from the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and ...

On this week's interview Paul talks to return guest, author, and commentator Philip K. Howard about DOGE. For advocates of limited government DOGE is the most exciting effort to cut wasteful spending and bring functionality to the federal government that we have seen since at least the Grace Commission during the Reagan Administration. Howard and Gessing have a robust discussion of DOGE and numerous aspects of its mission and activities so far. They address whether Congress will go along with DOGE, whether there are more effective potential ways to streamline government, and whether this effort will ultimately succeed. More information about Philip K. Howard's work can be found at his Common Good website and at his recent Manhattan Institute paper. 

Today, we're kicking off the second episode in our series on childfree trailblazers with a conversation with Marie Bernardy. Marie and her husband, Bill, met in 1968 and have been married since 1974. She served as Development Director for Planned Parenthood (in both CA and OR); Vice-President for Development at two CA hospitals, and Executive Director of two library foundations in both California and Oregon. After reading a Time article about the National Organization for Non Parenthood, she and Bill became involved in the St. Louis chapter,helping to grow its membership and visibility. Eventually both Marie and Bill served on theNON/NAOP board, each as President. Marie's presidency coincided with the dissolution of theorganization in 1982. Marie & Bill made many local and several national appearances (including a Phil Donahue segment on the “Today” show) on behalf of NAOP. We ask her about her experience receiving physical threats, nasty late night phone calls, and a several weeks-long “dialogue” in the newspaper with the Archbishop of St. Louis, who called for their excommunication were some darks spots in an otherwise exciting, fulfilling and educational journey with NAOP.Dinky is now on Substack — free of charge!

In 1985, Armstrong was called in by the Reagan Administration about cutting the value of the dollar to spark trade. Armstrong warned if you cut the dollar, you will have a big crash within two years. What happened? Two years later, the stock market crashed more than 22% in one day in the infamous 1987 stock market crash. It is still the record for a one-day crash in percentage terms. Armstrong says, “In the end, they said we think foreign exchange had something to do with the crash. That was the best I could get out of them. They are not going to stand up and say, oh gee, we caused it (the crash) by lowering the dollar by 40%.” Armstrong is going to write President Trump a letter warning him NOT to force the US dollar lower.

FUN HALF LINK HERE: https://youtube.com/live/qzCOCJJt2o4 It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works, to discuss President Biden signing the Social Security Fairness Act into law. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the GOP's reconciliation fight, Trump's second certified election W, Merrick Garland's Jan 6th report, Fetterman's support for more right-wing legislation, Senate GOPers push for ICC sanctions, Virginia's special elections, CIA's surveillance of Latino activists, Rudy Giuliani's contempt of court, Guantanamo's prisoners, Zuckerberg's re-welcoming of misinformation back to Meta, and gender-affirming care data, before diving a little deeper into Big Tech's overwhelming capitulation to Donald Trump's regime, from Zuckerberg's Meta misinformation to Bezos' Washington Post censorship. Alex Lawson then joins, quickly running through the recent debates over social security – from the Trump-Musk push to cut it via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to Biden's recent passage of the Social Security Fairness Act – before taking a major step back to the Reagan Administration as he walks through Reagan's sweeping WEP and GPO kneecaps to Social Security, serving to cut all benefits by 14% and completely carving teachers, police officers, and firefighters out of the system, respectively, and serving to bolster the rapid development of wealth inequality over the four decades since, helped all the while by the shift from defined-benefit pensions to defined-contribution 401ks. Jumping back to the modern day, Alex, Sam, and Emma unpack the attacks to be expected as Trump's DOGE takes over, from addressing supposed concerns about growing life expectancy – a development only affecting the wealthy – to attempts to make it more “profitable” by undercutting benefits rather than raising revenue, and tackling the unsurprising solution of simply lifting (or even eliminating) the income cap that prevents wealthy people from paying their fair share into the system. Wrapping up, they assess the overwhelming popularity of Social Security (outside of DC, of course), and what it will take to protect it. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through Trump's outlandish territory claims – from the Gulf of Mexico to Greenland – and the concerning motives that could be behind them, before diving deep into the GOP's ongoing reconciliation infighting, as Larry Kudlow presses Ted Cruz over the decision to keep it as one massive bill. They also unpack Hannity's malaise over recent attacks on the wealthy, Musk's relationship with Argentina's poverty-pusher Javier Milei, and Tim Pool's recent freakout over jailed January 6th defendants, plus, your calls and IMs!

Just weeks before he was elected president of the United States, during a conversation at the Economic Club of Chicago, Donald Trump declared, “The most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff.' And it's my favorite word.” As the president-elect takes to the bully pulpit, leaders of nations threatened with new tariffs are calling Trump or even flying down to Mar-a-Lago, as Canadian President Trudeau did recently, to argue their case.  Stanford Law Professor Alan O. Sykes joins Pam and Rich for this episode to help make sense of the fascinating world of trade, tariffs, and the global economy. Al is a leading expert on the application of economics to legal problems whose most recent scholarship is focused on international economic relations. His writing and teaching have encompassed international trade, torts, contracts, insurance, antitrust, international investment law and economic analysis of law. He is the author most recently of the book The Law and Economics of International Trade Agreements. Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Alan O. Sykes >>> Stanford Law page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction and Explanation of Tariffs Rich Ford and Pam Karlan introduce Professor Alan Sykes, a leading expert in international trade law, to explore the basics of tariffs. They discuss what tariffs are, how they function like a tax on imports, and who ultimately bears the cost. Sykes explains the economic complexities, such as elasticity of demand and supply, and highlights how tariffs impact U.S. consumers and foreign producers.They discuss how tariffs often fail to significantly increase manufacturing jobs and the potential downsides of retaliation and supply chain disruptions.(00:08:36) Chapter 2: Policy Implications and Optimal Tariff Strategies Alan Sykes unpacks the policy decisions behind tariffs, such as balancing national security concerns and economic efficiency. Sykes explains the concept of "optimal tariffs" and critiques proposals like 100% tariffs, arguing for targeted approaches such as subsidies for sensitive industries. The hosts highlight the distinction between product-specific measures and country-focused tariffs in maintaining supply chain resilience. (00:12:28) Chapter 3: The Evolution of U.S. Free Trade Policy The group explores the post-World War II consensus around free trade and how it has shifted in recent years. Alan Sykes outlines bipartisan changes to U.S. trade policy, the impact of the "China shock," and the shift towards an "America First" approach under both Trump and Biden administrations.(00:16:43) Chapter 4: Tariffs, Trade Wars, and Public Misunderstandings The discussion delves into the politics of tariffs and their economic implications. Alan Sykes explains why tariffs remain politically popular despite their economic inefficiency, the mechanics of trade wars, and the historical example of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. They also discuss how tariffs and retaliation, such as restrictions on rare earth elements, could affect U.S. industries.(00:23:26) Chapter 5: Multilateral Trade Agreements and National Security Alan Sykes traces the history of multilateral trade institutions, focusing on the GATT, WTO, and USMCA. Sykes explains the U.S.'s recent retreat from WTO commitments, the renegotiation of NAFTA, and the controversial use of national security clauses to justify tariffs and sanctions. The conversation closes with insights on the implications of these shifts for allies and adversaries alike.

Send us a textRonald Brown was just sentenced to 100 years in prison, Yes, in Massachusetts. This crime story is utterly horrific. Mr. Brown is the reason of prisons. During Mr. Brown's latest rampage in 2016, he raped one roommate and sexually assaulted another. He forced one victim to shower to eliminate forensic evidence, during this time he insulted her ethnicity. Thankfully Mr. Brown is a dunce and left a prescription bottle with his name and address on the bottle. Brown's backpack contained evidence of these assaults and other crimes.

“You have to read in order to develop your mind and develop your ability to think,” Peggy Noonan said. “It's no good to say, ‘Oh, I can't help that I was born in 1990 and everybody has a phone.' Too bad. Put it down.” For decades, Noonan has been a Wall Street Journal columnist and author, known for her Pulitzer Prize–winning commentary on politics and culture. She and Moore reflect on Noonan's career both in journalism and as a speech writer in the Reagan Administration. They talk about Noonan's faith, her love for Christian history, and her long-standing relationship to Roman Catholicism. The two discuss sexual scandals in both church and government, the power of the written word, and the way artists see the world. They consider the concerning potential of artificial intelligence, the value of reading in a world overrun by technology, and the importance of critical thinking in our modern political culture.

Maybe if we watch a movie from #Ireland, more Irish folks with tune in, huh? Or maybe since it's from Northern Ireland, it doesn't count? Who knows? We're just trying to get a listener from Connacht anyway. We've also got a special guest with us this week, one of our most enthusiastic listeners, probably because she's Brandon's sister and is just being nice and supportive. But, it is nice to have someone else to talk to. Boys From County Hell: When the construction of a highway bypass disturbs the site of an ancient Irish scary creature, the Abhartach, is released on the nearby population. The guy can suck the blood right outta ya from 100 yards away, unless you're an important character in the movie. Boys From County Hell final grade: Steve A middle of the road movie for me. It's too well-done to rate any higher than average on our scale of budget vs shittyness vs accidental awesomeness. Points deducted for competent filmmaking. 3.1/5.0 Brandon A well-done movie that hits the right notes on my subjective and fluid list of requirements. Ridiculous scenes, enough successful jokes. Bonus points for not being made in the US. 4.0/5.0 Amanda Not the type of movie I usually watch, but this one was pretty good. Got some laughs. I wonder if fictional pub "The Stoker" has good fish-n-chips? Don't want to give the same score my brother did, because he's a big poopy head, so 3.99/5.0 Cocktail of the Week: Vampire's Kiss 1 1/2 oz Bourbon 1 oz Chambord, old-ass or otherwise 1/2 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice 1/2 oz Fancy-ass Grenadine Brandon's mom's raspberry jelly Rim a martini glass with Brandon's Mom's Raspberry Jelly, if you can get ahold of it, or use your own. Combine everything in a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine. Serve in a martini glass. Chill the glass if you want. Double strain it if you want. Whatever. Cocktail Grade: A decent-enough cocktail that maybe be negatively impacted by the fact that Steve's bottle of Chambord is from the Reagan Administration. But definitely worth a try, since Amanda, a non-bourbon drinker even said it was "not bad." 3.8/5 ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: boozeandbmovies@gmail.com X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/support

The First Amendment guarantees religious freedom and the separation of Church and State, basic tenets of American democracy which conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation is intent on undermining. Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, describes how the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 would upend military protocols to eliminate civilian oversight. He believes a dystopian future in which the rights of racialized and marginalized groups are denied would be in store under a second Trump presidency.  TranscriptListenDonateSubscribeGuestMusic Talia BaroncelliHi, I'm Talia Baroncelli, and you're watching theAnalysis.news. I'll shortly be joined by Mikey Weinstein, the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. We'll be speaking about Project 2025 and the implications it has for the U.S. military. If you'd like to support the work that we do, you can go to our website, theAnalysis.news, and hit the donate button at the top right corner of the screen.

Project 2025 is a lengthy policy agenda authored by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative and Christian nationalist think tank. Investigative outlet ProPublica recently obtained Project 2025 private training videos, which involve several former Trump officials. This corroborates the connection between former President Trump and the Heritage Foundation. One of the videos features Bethany Kozma, a former Deputy Chief of Staff at USAID during the Trump administration. In this video, she discusses Project 2025's opposition to legislation trying to mitigate the effects of climate change. She reads from page 364 of Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership, which states that "In the name of combating climate change, policies have been used to create an artificial energy scarcity that will require trillions of dollars in new investment, supported with taxpayer subsidies, to address a problem that government and special interests themselves created." They don't perceive climate change or carbon-intensive industries as posing a threat to society or to the environment but as a set of policies meant to create energy scarcity and benefit a certain segment of the elite. Joining me to discuss these issues is Mikey Weinstein. He is the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the constitutional right of religious freedom for the U.S. Armed Forces. He is also a lawyer and a former Air Force officer and served as White House Legal Counsel to the Reagan Administration. He also served as first general counsel to Ross Perot, the Texas billionaire who ran for president twice. He's the author of several books, including Was God on Our Side and No Snowflake in an Avalanche. It's great to have you again, Mikey. Mikey WeinsteinThanks, Talia. I'm looking forward to it as well. Talia BaroncelliBefore we get into Project 2025, can you explain to our viewers what you do at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation? Mikey WeinsteinAbsolutely. We are a weapon, and we've been fighting Christian nationalism and calling it out before anybody else did, that I'm aware of, going back to the early 2000s. Our job is to protect the U.S. Constitutionally mandated wall, separating Church and State in the technologically most lethal organization ever created by humankind, which is the U.S. military: the Marine Corps, Navy, Army, Air Force, and Space Force.We have clients in all 18 national security agencies. Some are well-known, like the FBI, the CIA, the DIA, etc. We have clients in the U.S. Coast Guard, which is not the DOD; that's the Department of Homeland Security, and even the U.S. Maritime Service,

Fifth Head on Mt. Rushmore? ~ Donald J. Trump?WMXI w/ Gene Valentino & Michael PolIt's time for a Fifth Head on Mt. Rushmore? Don't you think? Since the Reagan Administration there has been a genesis of Democrats and Independents leaving their party to vote Republican. The key question; If they are mad at the insanity of their Democrat Party behavior, will they get off the couch to vote Republican? In 1954 Judge Keith Alber from California predicted, at 85 years of age, 9 key components to use to overturn our Democracy. So, addressing these 9 points saves our Democracy. This is what we must address to make November's election “too big to rig”.WMXI Episode 149: Fifth Head on Mt. Rushmore? ~ Donald J.

Do courts have the expertise to decide on important environmental law issues? Pam Karlan and Rich Ford speak with environmental law expert Debbie Sivas, director of the Environmental Law Clinic at Stanford, about recent Supreme Court decisions affecting environmental and administrative law--including the Court's decision to overturn decades of settled law by overturning Chevron.

As we have been sharing with you all month, we gathered at the Reagan Library on June 5, 2024, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the passing of President Reagan.  The day was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on our 40th President's legacy and its enduring impact to this day and beyond.  We began with a special ceremony to honor this 20-year milestone.  From there, we heard from many who served in the Reagan Administration, discussing both his domestic and foreign policies, and how they continue to shape the world.  We concluded the day with a special after dinner conversation with Peggy Noonan and the children of two of President Reagan's closest friends and allies on the world stage, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney. In today's Reagan Forum Podcast we focus on our keynote fireside chat.  When talking about President Reagan's legacy, it is impossible to not intertwine it with his allies and his friends. Including former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.  Three greats who are now gone. Gone—and missed more than ever, as the world longs for their unique brand of decisive, principled leadership. In our final reflection on the life, death and legacy of President Ronald Reagan, we were so deeply honored that two children of these leaders agreed to be a part of our program.  In our keynote fireside chat, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Peggy Noonan sat down in conversation with Carol Thatcher and Ben Mulroney. No one else could possibly offer a perspective like theirs on two of President Reagan's greatest allies.

Welcome to Ground Zero Classics, where we dive deep into some of the most fascinating and controversial topics of our time. In this episode, we'll be exploring Project Blue Beam - a conspiracy theory that has been circulating for years. Project Blue Beam is said to involve two possible scenarios. The first scenario involves a technologically simulated "second coming" of a messianic figure such as Jesus or Mohammad and a simulated alien invasion that will be used to unite the world and trick them into becoming part of a globalist world order. The second scenario is similar, but instead of a messianic figure, it involves an extraterrestrial race coming to Earth with advanced technology. The aliens are said to use holographic projection screens that will be projected from space-based laser-generating satellites as part of the SDI program proposed during the Reagan Administration. Despite the many conspiracy theories surrounding Project Blue Beam, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims. However, we'll explore some of the research and comments made about this topic in the past and discuss why it remains such a fascinating subject for conspiracy theorists. Join us as we delve deeper into the world of Project Blue Beam and uncover the truth behind one of the most intriguing conspiracy theories of our time.Originally Broadcast 5/27/16 Liking this episode?   Get more episodes, news and other bonuses when you become a member of Ground Zero: Aftermath.   Get a free trial now!

William Hamilton - PROMIS Interview Pt2January 29Long before Edward Snowden's claims or revelations that the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency were monitoring and tracking the Internet, cell phones, e-mails and any other electronic communication they could get their hands on using a program known as PRISM, there existed PROMIS [Prosecutors Management Information Systems].PROMIS was designed in the late 1970s and ‘80s to bring Department of Justice criminal case management from the dark ages into the light of the computer age. In the spring of 1981, the Reagan Administration hailed PROMIS as one of law enforcements greatest assets. By 1983, PROMIS had morphed into the behemoth of intelligence gathering. It was not state of the art – it was the art.Over the ensuing decades PROMIS is reported to have been used by the DOJ, CIA, NSA, and several foreign intelligence agencies including Israel's Mossad.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/26/2023): 3:05pm- Why is Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) suddenly making fewer radical decisions? According to a report from Brady Knox of The Washington Examiner: “Earlier in October, Dr. Ronald G. Taylor, superintendent of schools for the South Orange-Maplewood School District, sent a letter to parents announcing that no Halloween celebrations would be held by the school district, claiming that doing so may ‘violate the dignity of some of our students and families, either culturally or religiously.' The cancellation of the holiday was bashed by the governor.” And on Thursday, Governor Murphy vetoed a bill that would have increased tolls across New Jersey—is he nervous Republicans could take back the state's legislative branch in the next election?
