US presidential administration from 1981 to 1989
POPULARITY
By 1981, the U.S. Surgeon General's office was a shadow of its former self—no ships, no quarantine stations, barely a dozen staff, and one statutory duty: publish the annual smoking report. Yet the Reagan White House still saw an opportunity. They tapped Dr. C. Everett Koop, a pediatric surgery legend whose outspoken pro-life views looked perfect for them in shoring up the administration's social-conservative base.In the final chapter of this three-part mini-series on the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Gordon Thane and biographer Dr. Nigel S. Cameron explore how Koop turned a “figurehead” job into the nation's moral megaphone—taking on Big Tobacco, steering the federal response to HIV/AIDS, and redefining public-health leadership.References for Our Discussion◼️Dr. Koop: The Many Lives of the Surgeon GeneralGuest◼️Nigel S.

Polls consistently show Ronald Reagan is considered one of America's greatest and favorite presidents and after all these years, it's still easy to understand why: He was the great communicator who looked at America through the rosiest of glasses. He saw the good in people. He saw the good in the nation. And he constantly inspired all to seek the good, no matter their individual circumstances. Today, the political climate is far too divided to expect a unity of any sorts from Washington, D.C. But back in Reagan's day, his leadership helped fuel some of the greatest feats in both politics and foreign affairs. No wonder today's politicians all want to be compared to him. Frank Lavin served with Reagan and says in his "Inside the Reagan White House" that Americans can still learn many lessons from the Gipper that apply today, particularly for those in leadership roles.
1167 Inside the Reagan White House: A Speechwriter's Secrets on the 1981 Assassination Attempt On March 30, 1981, just weeks into his presidency, Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated outside the Washington Hilton. The official narrative? A deranged loner obsessed with Jodie Foster. But is that the full story? In this gripping episode, Richard Syrett is joined by Ken Khachigian, Reagan's longtime speechwriter, strategist, and confidant. With a front-row seat to history, Khachigian sheds light on what really happened behind closed doors in the Reagan White House following the assassination attempt. Were there hidden forces at play? Did the deep state have a stake in controlling the narrative? And should President Trump push for the release of classified files—just as he has with the JFK assassination? GUEST: Ken Khachigian is a veteran Republican strategist, speechwriter, and former senior advisor to President Ronald Reagan. As Reagan's chief speechwriter during his historic 1980 campaign and a key figure in his administration, Khachigian helped shape the conservative movement.

Join the Anchoring Truths Podcast for both a look back and a look ahead for originalism. Our guest, Steven Calabresi, is the co-author of a new intellectual history “The Meese Revolution” that describes the rise of originalism, which necessitates telling the story of Ed Meese, without whom it surely does not happen. Calabresi, who was part of that history working closely with Meese, threads a story through virtually all important legal and policy events of the 1980s, many of which continue to shape the world of the twenty-first century. And as we come to the end of our discussion, I think you'll agree that in many respects we are still living through the Meese Revolution. Professor Calabresi is the Clayton J. & Henry R. Barber Professor at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, as well as a visiting professor at Yale Law School. Calabresi clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia and Judges Robert H. Bork and Ralph K. Winter. He was a Special Assistant to Attorney General Meese from 1985 to 1987 and worked with Ken Cribb as his deputy in 1987 on the second floor of the West Wing of the Reagan White House. Calabresi has written books on presidential power and comparative constitutional law and the origins of judicial review. He and co-author of The Meese Revolution Gary Lawson are also the co-editors of a casebook on U.S. Constitutional Law, and Calabresi is also the co-editor of a casebook on comparative constitutional law. He has written over seventy law review articles since 1990. "The Meese Revolution" may be purchased here.

This week, Fox News Rundown host spoke with former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels about President-elect Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a cost-cutting advisory panel led by tech billionaire Elon Musk and former pharmaceutical executive and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Daniel has plenty of experience implementing and studying government budgets, having worked in the Reagan White House, as President George W. Bush's White House budget director, and as president of Purdue University. He's also been co-chair of the non-profit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget for the last ten years. Daniels discussed the waste he witnessed while in government and some costly departments and services that could be cut from the government – without little impact on the American people. He also discussed the political challenges of making political reforms to popular programs, but why not addressing America's growing national deficit could have serious economic and security implications. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former Indiana Governor Mitchell Daniels and learn more about government waste and how he thinks DOGE can tackle it.

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with... In the summer of 1982, Jeff Aronson was selected as a Presidential Management Intern and recruited by the U.S. Air Force, where he held a top-secret clearance. He worked on special projects at several military installations across the country. In 1983, he was appointed to the Reagan White House assignment. After that, he accepted a position in the Pentagon for the U.S. Department of Defense. He left government service in 1988 and went to work in the private sector. Jeff has always been interested in Ufology, extraterrestrials, space exploration, time travel, and the multi-dimensional universe as it impacts the human experience and consciousness. The Stell^rs is his first science fiction book, meant to open the eyes of people who have yet to delve too deeply into the idea of extraterrestrials and their interactions with humans. It is also for those who strongly believe this to be true and contemplate when this eventual big reveal will occur and how it may happen. Jeff resides in Florida, home of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Since 1950, the combined total number of launches from Cape Kennedy and KSC has exceeded 4000. Jeff watched his first launch on February 20,1962, with John Glenn aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft. He has been looking up at the stars ever since. ^^^

As we shared with you last week, 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. In a CBS piece that aired the night of President Reagan's death, Leslie Stahl concluded, quote, “Ending the Cold War will certainly be how he is remembered most in history.” If that was President Reagan's crowning foreign policy achievement, then Peace Through Strength was his most important guiding philosophy. As such, in today's Reagan Forum Podcast we focus on the second panel from our June 5th event – Leadership Abroad: Peace Through Strength. The panel was moderated by Fox News's Guy Benson. He sat down in discussion with Former UN Ambassador and President Reagan's Arms Control Director Ken Adelman, who is also the author of Reagan at Reykjavik, Paula Dobriansky, who served as director of European and Soviet Affairs on the Reagan National Security Council, Professor William Inboden, now of the University of Florida, the author of The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the World on the Brink, and KT McFarland, former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor in the Reagan White House. During the hour-long panel, they discussed President Reagan's legacy, if we are still heeding his example, and how his Peace Through Strength Initiatives still impact us today.

David Stockman destroys the myth that the economy boomed under Trump. Not only were his policies bad, they helped enlarge the government. He spearheaded the Covid lockdowns, oversaw greater spending, and the national debt rose $8 trillion under his reign. Well-meaning conservatives have been fooled. However, this is also the nature of the system and its evils: the rogue Federal Reserve, the Military-Industrial-Complex or Warfare State, and the Welfare State. Under Trump, the rising tide "lifted all yachts" as wealth inequality and neofeudalism increased.

Erik continues his conversation with Dr. Jack Wheeler, the “real-life Indiana Jones.” After hearing Ronald Reagan speak as a college student at UCLA in 1965, Wheeler immediately volunteered to help if Reagan ever ran for governor of California. This led to him becoming state chairman of Youth for Reagan and establishing lifelong friendships with people who would go on to serve in positions of power and influence in the Reagan White House. Through his world travels, Wheeler noticed an emerging trend of resistance to communist imperialism, and provided crucial intelligence to the Reagan administration that led to the development of the Reagan Doctrine that ultimately defeated the Soviet Union.

Brandon Stoddard was one of the most accomplished executives in broadcast television history. In his career at ABC, he helped bring to the small screen such legendary mini-series as “Roots” and “The Winds of War,” as well as the acclaimed television series “Moonlighting” and “Roseanne.” But arguably his most consequential and controversial decision was to air the made-for-TV movie “The Day After,” which graphically depicted the effects of a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Stoddard faced opposition from his colleagues, pundits, and even the Reagan White House, which pressured ABC to pull the film. But having conceived of the project as an impetus for people around the world to grapple with the potential of a devastating war, Stoddard forged ahead and broadcast the film in November 1983. It was an epochal event in U.S. history. One hundred million people tuned in to watch, and the movie became the most-watched in television history. It was a national moment of the kind Americans rarely share today. Journalist A. B. Stoddard, Brandon's daughter, spoke with Shane Harris about her dad's determination to air the film and what he hoped to achieve. Stoddard is well known for her political commentary and work at The Bulwark. But today, she shares personal memories of her father, his illustrious career, and the legacy of his work. In November of last year, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of “The Day After,” she wrote a column, “The Day My Father Scared America.” Among the works mentioned in this episode:A.B.

Nearly 40 years before Russian security agents arrested Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and falsely charged him with spying, the KGB did the same to Nicholas Daniloff, whose plight became an international incident. The Moscow bureau chief for U.S. News and World Report, Daniloff was nabbed in the summer of 1986 as the Reagan White House was negotiating the terms of the next nuclear arms summit with the Kremlin, to be held in Iceland. Reagan personally pleaded with Gorbachev to free the American journalist. Today, President Biden and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are hardly on speaking terms. What will it take to free Evan Gershkovich?

In this next part of our exclusive special series with Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House, we tackle the question: what the sole KEY weapon for the future is, if there is one, and China's place in that race.
In this next part of our exclusive special series with Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House, we tackle the question: is a hot war with China inevitable? And if so, is the United States ready for it? Sekora noted: “The reality is, if you look at the U.S., we are not prepared to go for a hot war. If you look at, in terms of the Navy, there's a significant number of ships which are not battlefield ready. Okay, if we look at the Air Force, the Air Force is cannibalizing some of the older platforms to keep the new platforms up in the air and battle ready. If we look at the Marine Corps, which we've worked with, they say that they basically have to wait to see what China is going to do and hope like hell they can figure out how to fix it before it goes hot with them.” As for what China is doing, he noted: “They will continue to build their competitive advantage. And number two, they will know when they have the required competitive advantage. So even though some of these actions—like the CHIPS Act, like some of the other things, like increasing the [Department of Defense] budget such that we can execute the national defense strategy—China's still chipping away, maneuvering in the technology space and they're not going to engage until they have the required competitive advantage. So point being, is it inevitable? Yeah. Everything we're going to do right now is being done, it just delays that, and it will delay it until China knows they have the required competitive edge. ” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
In this next part of our exclusive special series with Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House, we zoom in on whether the United States has a military competitive advantage over China. Following the recent shoot-downs of a Chinese spy balloon and three mystery objects, talks of a hot war and how each side is shaping up are dominating headlines. Sekora noted: “That's one of the things—when it comes to China, it's very, very complex. And that's one of the things that people don't understand. We're used to measuring it in simple terms. And actually, that's one of the things that's gotten the United States into problems with China.” “We have continued to redefine competitive advantage such that we could continue to view China as a non-threat,” he added. And as for the second problem, Sekora noted, “The U.S. intelligence community continue to misjudge, misestimate, China's progression.” He added, “If we can develop a technology strategy which is going to outmaneuver China … what happens is we can develop our military strategy on top of a technology strategy, which gives us a very precise and accurate knowledge.” “That's how we beat China,” he added. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
In this next part of our exclusive special series with Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House, we delve into the debate around industrial policy. Does the United States need one or does it violate our founding democratic principles? Or does it come down to how we define an industrial policy? Sekora notes when it comes to the argument of industrial policy, there are two factors: How we define industrial policy and defining it based on a finance-based perspective. “Always, the debate goes like this: we need industrial policy because people like China operate as a holistic entity and we're just a bunch of people operating independently, and there's no way China—with the size they are, working as a coherent team—is able to—well, there's no way we can compete against it,” he said. He added: “In China's case, it's a national technology strategy. That is their industrial policy. Now the stuff that's around it—the economics, the manpower, everything else, which is all the Americans see—is the peripheral parts, which we've talked about before. But the core, which makes the decision, is a national technology strategy. That dictates what technologies they acquire worldwide, how they utilize them.” As for how to address it, Sekora notes: “First of all, we have to correctly define, as a full range of ways that you can come up with a mesh of, you can get the nation to work in a coherent fashion. And number two, that plan has to be from a technology perspective, not a finance perspective because finance does not generate a competitive edge. The technology generates the competitive edge and then dictates the finance.” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
In this next part of our exclusive special series with Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House, we revisit myth No. 2: how manufacturing is the key when it comes to countering the China threat. Previously, we covered the topic as a slight overview, but this time, we're digging in. Sekora notes: “It's that immersion in finance-based planning that literally caused the problem with manufacturing. And because we're still immersed in finance-based planning—us being the United States and the Western world, in general—that means we're just going to make a mistake in the other direction.” He adds that “the key is not manufacturing.” “We didn't lose our competitive advantage by getting rid of manufacturing. We lost our competitive advantage, and with all the financial negative impacts ahead, because we were looking financially at the manufacturing, we're still looking at the manufacturing. That's never where the fight was.” “The fight is down here,” he added. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

In this next part of our special series with Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House, we tackle myths No. 3 and 4—how decoupling and stopping Chinese theft of Western technology is the key when it comes to the China threat. Sekora notes: “The only way to counter a strategy is with more effective strategy. So when we talk about decoupling, if we look at decoupling, that's one of the big examples these days—ways we're going to solve the problem. But what people don't realize is when China's had, what, three generations, three decades. So for three decades, they were considered an up-and-coming country. Okay, we gave them free hand, we were told that the more we encourage them, the quicker they'll become a democratic country, freedom, all the stuff that we accept in the United States, Western Europe, things like that. So they've had three decades to establish all the paths, both direct and indirect, that they need to acquire the technology they require.” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
In this special episode, we're bringing back one of our most talked about guests: Michael Sekora, founder and director of the Socrates Project within the Reagan White House. While the initiative was used to help take down the Soviet Union, its next goal, even back then, was to tackle a rising communist China. We hear from Sekora on how exactly China became a superpower. This is part one of a special series. We'll also touch on several myths, or go-to assumptions, when it comes to tackling the China threat, and what it takes for us to win. Throughout these discussions, one term that's apt to pop up is technology strategy. Technology isn't confined to just computers, AI, and biotech. Rather, it's the full range of equipment, material, and know-how that mankind has developed throughout history. Most simply, it's the application of science to accomplish a function. Technology strategy focuses directly on the way that technology is used, instead of just throwing money at R&D. Ultimately, it's about using technology to out-maneuver the competition. Sekora noted: “at the end of World War II, we shifted from finance to technology-based planning. China aggressively moved forward on technology-based planning. But here's the rub. If you're doing finance-based planning, they're doing technology-based planning, and you look at them, you have no idea how they're competing.” “You have no idea on how they're being successful. And I'm amazed by the experts left and right, will say, ‘You know what, China is going to collapse tomorrow. … By all financial means they should have collapsed.' But yet they continue to win. It's because we're looking at the finance. They're maneuvering in the technology,” he added. “Now, just as FYI, technology-based planning is what built the United States before the war, before we switched to finance-based planning. Technology-based planning is what was the foundation for decision-making across the board.” “It's what built GM, Ford, Chrysler, DuPont, Dow,” he added. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
Ketchup is the crowd-pleaser of condiments—a ubiquitous accessory on dinner tables throughout the United States, and, increasingly, the world. But this kid-friendly classic actually has its roots in a much funkier food: fermented fish sauce! So how did the salty, pungent, amber-colored seasoning that gives Southeast Asian cuisine its characteristic flavor turn into a thick, red sauce typically found atop hamburgers and French fries? It's a saga that involves the fall of the Roman empire, eighteenth-century fish sauce knock-offs made from green walnuts and vinegar, and the marketing genius of one Henry J. Heinz. Listen in now for that story, plus the 1981 ketchup scandal that shook the Reagan White House, in our love song to ketchup's weird backstory and underrated culinary sophistication.
