Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Missy and Joe of Indian Creek Distillery to trace a sixth-generation family whiskey legacy and the hidden copper pot stills that survived Prohibition. We taste frontier-style spirits, talk craft versus efficiency, and explore why Ohio's whiskey story deserves more attention. • the Staley family farm history and why the stills were hidden • what makes double copper pot still distillation slower and more flavorful • direct fire heat, consistency, and why modern control still matters • naming the stills and learning to “know your girls” • Joe's background in engineering, farming, and small business before distilling • navigating federal and Ohio regulations while building a craft distillery • the on-site frontier whiskey experience and why it converts first-time visitors • tasting unaged rye white dog, mash bill, proof, and cocktail uses • the story behind the single surviving pre Prohibition bottle • tasting Bond House bourbon, high corn recipe, small barrel aging, cask strength texture Give a shout out to your website and everything: minifreekdistillery.com. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, we make free distillery, and we have a lot of events. So come up, see us. www.scotchybourbonboys.com and then also Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, along with iHeart, Apple, Spotify. Whether you listen to us or watch us, make sure you leave us good feedback or become members or leave us super chats and everything.Two hundred year old copper pot stills are not supposed to be “operational,” but at Indian Creek Distillery they are the beating heart of a living Ohio whiskey legacy. We're joined by Missy Staley, a direct descendant of the original distilling family, and Joe, the hands-on distiller who helped bring the operation back in 2011 after the stills were hidden away when Prohibition hit. What follows is part history lesson, part craft masterclass, and part tasting session you can almost smell through your headphones.  We dig into why double copper pot still distillation creates a different spirit than modern column production: slower runs, more character, and those heavier flavor oils that give pot still bourbon and rye a signature mouthfeel. We also talk direct-fire distilling, why they use propane instead of wood, and how “inefficient” can be a feature when your goal is quality and authenticity. Joe shares how an engineering and small-business background helped, but also why the stills themselves teach you if you let them do what they're built to do.  Then we get into the bottles. We taste their unaged rye “white dog” and break down the mash bill and why it works even as a cocktail base. Missy tells the wild story of the one surviving pre-Prohibition bottle in the family, and we finish with a bold Bond House bourbon pour that shows what high-corn recipes and barrel aging can become at cask strength. If you care about craft distilling, historic American whiskey, and the growing Ohio bourbon scene, this conversation is a must.  Subscribe, share the show with a whiskey-loving friend, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.

Minimalist Music (Bloomsbury, 2026) looks critically into the music's past, shows how the genre thrives across styles, and points the way toward minimalism's ongoing future. Minimalism as a genre is best defined not by any style or flavor but by its means. Certain rhythms and chords in other music may identify things like jazz or bossa nova or reggae; take those same elements and put them through the processes of minimalism and you have minimalism with the hues of other musics. A still young genre with ancient roots, minimalism is much less any kind of style than a practice, a manner of making music. Reviving those means and applying them to contemporary sounds and experiences, the pioneers of minimalism created a new and avant-garde music that immediately communicated its power to listeners of all kinds. The global appeal of minimalism and the way the methods adapt to myriad styles open up a view into how music actually works as an art and an experience, how through time it connects in a fundamental way to how we as humans listen.

AI didn't just change how we work — it raised everyone's vulnerability at the same time. In this episode, Junior and Dr. Tim Clark introduce "universal vulnerability": the reason psychological safety is surging back onto the executive agenda in 2026.Six years after The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety, organizations are coming back with a different problem statement. AI isn't a niche disruption that hits one industry at a time — it touches every role, unpredictably, all at once. And the deepest threat isn't technical, it's about identity: "Who am I now that machines can think?"Junior and Tim break down why psychological safety is the cultural precondition for AI adoption, why most organizations skip straight to workflow and miss the human impact, and how leaders can respond using the AI Readiness Hierarchy and the LIVE model. Even executive teams aren't immune — no one is.If you lead people through change, this is the conversation your AI strategy is missing.Chapters00:00 The "RIF culture" and a new wave of change00:53 Six years since The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety02:32 What "universal vulnerability" actually means03:19 Psychological safety as an individual journey03:50 How AI adds a universal layer of vulnerability04:56 Why every role gets touched — and why it's unpredictable08:26 The real threat: identity disruption, not technical disruption10:00 The AI Readiness Hierarchy (from Chapter 5)11:09 Measuring vulnerability with the PS Index12:50 Psychological safety: the cultural precondition for AI adoption13:22 The "leapfrog to workflow" mistake14:12 The LIVE model: Look, Identify, Validate, Encourage15:18 Why the sequence matters18:26 Why executive teams aren't immune either19:41 Naming the exhaustion — and giving people permission to feel it20:22 Where to go next: the book and course previewsResources

To mark 250 years of American independence, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations: our sit-down with Josh Shapiro, the American independent watchmaker behind the Resurgence — the only watch that currently meets the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's standard for "Made in America." It's a fitting week to ask a question that feels newly urgent in an era of tariffs and reshoring: what would it actually take to bring watchmaking back to the United States at scale? Josh takes us from the industry's staggering height — when American factories employed over 100,000 people and produced millions of chronometer-grade watches a year, so far ahead that the Swiss crossed the Atlantic in 1876 to study our methods and race to catch up — through the forces that dismantled it: the pivot from pocket watches to wristwatches, an aggressive Swiss cartel, Depression-era trade deals, and a postwar collapse that was already terminal long before the quartz crisis delivered the final blow. Along the way he explains why the single hardest thing to rebuild isn't machinery or capital, but people, and why "Swiss Made" and "Made in America" are two very different promises. Told through the lens of building the Resurgence in his Los Angeles workshop — the CNC machines, the $150,000 balance-staff breakthrough, the North Dakota jeweler he coaxed out of retirement — this is a clear-eyed look at the slow, deliberate work of rebuilding an industry from the roots up, and what any of us can do to support it. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes.

In this episode of the Can We Talk? R&B podcast, host Ian Von sits down with rising R&B/pop girl group 3Quency to talk about the modern resurgence of groups, building real sisterhood in the music industry, and carving out their own lane after their breakout on Netflix's Building the Band. They share how they formed “Love Is Blind–style” in pods without seeing each other, the pressure and beauty of carrying the legacy of 90s and 2000s girl groups, and how they navigate vocal health, touring, social media narratives, and independence as young artists. From stories of performing with lost voices and sprained ankles, to late-night “girls talk” that turned into a whole project, this conversation is a deep dive into authenticity, unity, and what it really takes to be a group in 2026. The ladies also perform a live a cappella snippet (Brandy's “Have You Ever”), talk through their creative process as songwriters, and reveal the powerful meaning behind their name, 3Quency.

6.24.26, Kevin Sheehan reacts to some clips of AJ Dybantsa after he was drafted to the Wizards and discusses if the basketball buzz in the DMV will be revived if the Wizards start winning again.

Recorded live before an audience at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.Why This Episode MattersGage & Tollner's revival is more than a preservation story. St. John Frizell and Garrett Richard show how historic restaurants and classic cocktails can be restored, reinterpreted, and made relevant. The ConversationThe live conversation opens with Mark admitting that it took him several meetings to realize writer St. John Frizell and bartender “Sinjin” Frizell were the same person. Francis recalls Garrett recognizing The Restaurant Guys at Tales of the Cocktail, back when being recognized in public was still a notable event.From there, St. John tells the improbable story of finding Gage & Tollner's landmarked interior beneath the remains of a TGI Fridays, an Arby's, and a makeshift mall. He explains how 450 crowdfunding investors helped revive the historic Brooklyn oyster and chophouse and how the restaurant was preparing to open when COVID closed New York.Garrett traces Sunken Harbor Club from a weekly pop-up to one of the country's most distinctive cocktail bars. He explores forgotten tropical formats, historic steakhouse drinks, the challenge of creating serious non-alcoholic cocktails, and the timelessness of the Martini. The conversation also reaches Charles H. Baker Jr., his amazing life and the idea that a great drink can be built as much on story and context as on the recipe itself.Timestamps00:00 Live from Sunken Harbor Club02:00 St. John, Sinjin and a James Bond pronunciation lesson04:00 Garrett's first encounter with The Restaurant Guys05:30 The opening cocktails and Sunken Harbor's menu philosophy08:30 Gage & Tollner prepares to open as COVID closes New York11:00 How the Sunken Harbor Club began as a weekly pop-up14:00 Finding Gage & Tollner behind false walls17:00 Raising $450,000 from 450 crowdfunding investors20:00 Reconstructing forgotten cocktails and the Cross Current25:30 Historic steakhouse drinks meet tropical cocktails30:30 Why serious non-alcoholic cocktails are so difficult42:00 Martinis, Charles H.

Matt Soule, Founder and CEO of Parallel Systems, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Parallel Systems is building the internet of freight by combing autonomy and rail.To date the company has raised nearly $100 million and secured Federal Railroad Administration clearance to test its autonomous rail vehicles on 160 miles of track in Georgia. Parallel's technology integrates directly into back-office railroad dispatch networks, operating like air traffic control so vehicles respect unique track authority and never conflict with traditional freight trains.By replacing mechanical couplers with software-managed bumpers, platoons of up to 50 vehicles form and break apart on the move, splitting off to separate destinations or peeling away to keep grade crossings open. Today, Parallel is now ramping production of its commercial Gen 3 vehicle, which advances past the Gen 2 prototype by hauling up to 160,000 pounds at speeds over 60 mph on an innovative, low-cost bent steel chassis. TThe electric propulsion system is built to revitalize unprofitable short-haul routes under 500 miles by lowering the lane density a railroad needs to justify service. Shifting heavy freight to rail gives shippers pricing stability against volatile diesel spikes, delivers granular tracking visibility, and creates a new ecosystem of local maintenance and remote supervisory jobs while decongesting highway traffic around major ports.To address a growing 300-vehicle backlog, Parallel is expanding manufacturing to a contract facility in Michigan while eyeing international expansion.Episode Chapters00:00 Parallel Systems Raises $100m2:33 Autonomous Rail5:14 Reviving the Inland Ports, Jobs, and Manufacturing10:37 Diesel Volatility12:31 Gen 3 Vehicle17:08 Why Rail21:54 Commercial Operations25:57 The Internet of Freight31:54 What's Next35:28 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, Indices and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Zsófia, nem felejtheted el, hogy a történelmi pontosság a legfontosabb – mondta Ádám türelmetlenül.En: "Zsófia, you mustn't forget that historical accuracy is the most important," said Ádám impatiently.Hu: – A színjáték funkciója, hogy élővé tegye a múltat, nem pedig eltorzítsa.En: "The function of the play is to bring the past to life, not distort it."Hu: Zsófia csípőre tett kézzel válaszolt.En: Zsófia responded with her hands on her hips.Hu: – Én csak azt próbálom, hogy magával ragadjam a közönséget!En: "I'm just trying to captivate the audience!Hu: Ha unják, el se jönnek.En: If they're bored, they won't come."Hu: Tamás kettejük között állt.En: Tamás stood between the two of them.Hu: – Hé, srácok, nyugodjatok meg!En: "Hey, guys, calm down!Hu: Talán mindkettőtöket lehet kiszolgálni.En: Maybe it's possible to serve both of your needs.Hu: Ha a történetek izgalmasak, több látogató jön.En: If the stories are exciting, more visitors will come.Hu: És ha van egy kis izgalom, a történelmi részletesség sem vész kárba.En: And if there's a little excitement, the historical detail won't be lost."Hu: A naplemente előadás kezdetéhez közeledett.En: The sunset marked the approach of the evening performance.Hu: A kastély árnyékában gyülekeztek az emberek, várva az este fénypontját.En: People gathered in the shadow of the castle, waiting for the highlight of the evening.Hu: Ádám mély levegőt vett, és döntött.En: Ádám took a deep breath and decided.Hu: – Rendben – mondta.En: "Alright," he said.Hu: – Próbáljuk meg.En: "Let's try it.Hu: Egy kicsit engedek.En: I'll relent a bit.Hu: Legyen izgalmas, de közben ügyeljünk a részletekre.En: Let it be exciting, but let's pay attention to the details."Hu: Az előadás alatt Zsófia ügyesen játszotta a szerepét, érezhetően mérsékelte a túlzásokat.En: During the performance, Zsófia skillfully played her role, noticeably restraining her exaggerations.Hu: Tamás, a páncélja alatt, a legjobb harci jelenetet nyújtotta, amit a közönség valaha látott.En: Tamás, under his armor, delivered the best combat scene the audience had ever seen.Hu: Ádám figyelte, mosolyogva, ahogy a nézők tapsoltak.En: Ádám watched, smiling, as the spectators applauded.Hu: A nap végén Ádám megpihent a vár falainál, Zsófia és Tamás mellett.En: At the end of the day, Ádám rested by the castle walls, alongside Zsófia and Tamás.Hu: – Tudjátok, ez egész jól sikerült – ismerte el.En: "You know, this turned out pretty well," he acknowledged.Hu: – Lehet, hogy nem a pontos részletek a legfontosabbak.En: "Maybe the precise details aren't the most important.Hu: Azt hiszem, tanultam valamit tőletek.En: I think I learned something from you two."Hu: Zsófia bólintott.En: Zsófia nodded.Hu: – Művészet és történelem nem zárja ki egymást.En: "Art and history aren't mutually exclusive."Hu: Tamás boldogan koccintott velük egy pohár hideg borral.En: Tamás happily clinked glasses with them, a cup of cold wine in hand.Hu: – És így még a tippek is jobban csilingeltek a zsebemben!En: "And this way, the tips jingled better in my pocket!"Hu: Mindhárman nevettek, és a történelmi est sötétjében együtt élvezték a barátság és együttműködés örömét.En: They all laughed, and in the darkness of the historical evening, they enjoyed the joy of friendship and cooperation together.Hu: A várfalak közt az élet tovább burjánzott, és a múlt így kapott új értelmet a jövő felé vezető úton.En: Life continued to thrive within the castle walls, and thus the past gained new meaning on the path toward the future.

What makes a hotel the best? Not just new, not just beautiful, but worthy of a list that thousands of travelers plan their year around? For Afar senior deputy editor Jennifer Flowers, it comes down to a single test: does this hotel have a story? Not a marketing story—a real one, rooted in the place it sits, the community around it, or the history in its bones. In this episode, Afar editorial director Billie Cohen sits down with Jenn to go behind the scenes of the 2026 Best New Hotels list, one of the biggest the team has ever assembled at 40 properties. Jenn explains how the year-long vetting process actually works (yes, every hotel was personally visited), why she pairs the right writer with the right destination, and what separates a genuine standout from a merely beautiful place to stay. Along the way, Billie and Jenn travel from a nonprofit lodge reachable only by boat or seaplane at the edge of British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest, to a working dairy farm in Japan's Tohoku region, to a six-suite, solar-powered lodge on regenerating land in South Africa. They dig into the year's biggest themes: the rise of women hoteliers at the founder and CEO level, the surprising number of “new” hotels that are actually painstaking restorations of centuries-old buildings, the reinvention of the all-inclusive, and a growing hunger for ethical access to the world's wild places.

Every now and then, I like to hop into the wayback machine and share a fresh listen to conversations that influenced our current times. The one you are going to register to today was recorded live in 2014 from DIEM, Design Intersects Everything Made symposium presented by the West Hollywood Design District featuring Frances Anderton, then with KCRW ad Jeff Denby, co-founder and then with Pact. A clothing brand you will be hearing more about.  The following conversation was focused on values based capitalism, an economic model with which places value on profit generation that also generates positive social impact. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation As you listen to this chat between Frances and Jeff, you might notice the “feel-good” vibes and high ideals that come from a focus on values based consumerism patterns. Buy well-made products that come from sustainably based materials and made by people who are valued to those producing the products and then by those who buy the product. At the time of this recording, this idea was catching on and even now, companies that have a value-system connected directly to products speak openly about the social capital being generated. I would argue we hear far less now because sustainability has been linked politically to DEI, and there is a group of people who see that has more of a social ill, than a societal benefit. I'm not here to change any minds, only share different perspectives. And this is one worth sharing with the hope that it will make a return, not just in fashion or consumer packaged goods, but in the home decor and architectural materials sectors. Consumer Awareness Evolution How Whole Foods and the food industry educated consumers about product origins. Extension of that curiosity to body care and apparel: understanding what goes on the skin and into daily wear. The role of design in making sustainable products attractive and desirable. Philanthropy and Social Impact Early collaborations with nonprofits through limited-edition collections and direct aid. Shift toward improving the lives of workers within the supply chain. Emphasis on economic, environmental, and social impact as part of the business model. Challenges of Domestic Manufacturing Difficulties of reviving large-scale apparel production domestically, including labor costs, fractured supply chains, and compliance issues. Comparison with global supply chains and the decision to work where systems already exist. Insights from attempts at localized production and the challenges of sustainable sourcing. Product Expansion and Market Strategy Focus on apparel basics for the emerging generation of socially conscious consumers. Building a generational brand by appealing to evolving values. Commitment to price accessibility while maintaining sustainability and ethical production. Supply Chain Ethics and Certification Working exclusively with certified factories and farms to ensure fair labor practices. Ensuring worker protections and representation, including female supervisors. Direct engagement with farmers and supply chain partners to secure market access and stability. Sustainability and Waste Management Recycling factory scraps and leftover materials into new products. Finding secondary uses for garment remnants, including mattress filling. Factories incentivized to reduce waste as part of both economic and environmental sustainability. Consumer Education and Transparency Educating customers about the human and environmental story behind clothing. Leveraging social media, coalition branding, and events to communicate supply chain practices. Positioning Pact as a non-toxic apparel brand with safe-for-skin products. Research and Industry Collaboration Participation in textile and sustainability coalitions with like-minded brands. Supporting the growth of organic cotton farming and sustainable supply chains. Promoting transparency in manufacturing practices and educating the public on chemical exposure in conventional apparel. Ethical apparel requires intentional design, transparent supply chains, and collaboration across the industry. Consumers increasingly demand products that are safe, well-designed, and socially responsible. Philanthropy is most effective when integrated into the core business, benefiting both workers and communities. Scaling sustainability in mass-market apparel is challenging but possible with careful planning, partnerships, and public education. Conscious Basics: How Textiles Can Be Ethical, Sustainable, and Stylish In an era when consumers increasingly demand transparency and ethical responsibility, Pact is reshaping the apparel industry by marrying sustainability, social impact, and thoughtful design. Co-founder Jeff Denby spoke with Frances Anderton in 2014 about the philosophy behind the brand, tracing a journey from organic cotton farms in India to certified factories in Turkey, all with the goal of delivering high-quality, accessible clothing that respects both people and the planet. Denby notes that consumer awareness has evolved in stages. Shoppers first became curious about food origins, learning that groceries come from farms, not just shelves. This consciousness extended to body care products, as people began asking what they were putting on their skin. Apparel is the next frontier. “People want to know what they're wearing every day,” Denby explains. “They want products that are beautifully designed, sustainable, and safe, without having to reinvent what underwear or socks should look like.” Early in Pact's history, the company experimented with philanthropic partnerships, designing collections that supported nonprofit causes. These initiatives provided aid to communities abroad, from distributing lanterns in Haiti to rebuilding community centers in Japan. However, Denby realized the brand could make a deeper impact by focusing inward—supporting the lives of the workers who create the products. By investing in stable, ethical supply chains, Pact achieves a triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental benefits. Reviving large-scale apparel manufacturing in the United States proved impractical for Pact. Labor costs, fractured supply chains, and limited domestic processing infrastructure made it impossible to produce affordable basics at scale. Instead, the brand partnered with existing factories abroad, ensuring they meet strict certifications such as the Global Organic Textile Standard. Denby emphasizes that these certifications guarantee fair labor practices, gender equity, and safe working conditions—factors often overlooked in conventional apparel production. Beyond ethical sourcing, Pact prioritizes product safety and environmental responsibility. Cotton cultivation and traditional textile processing can involve significant pesticide use and harmful chemicals. Pact works with organic cotton farmers and certified dye houses, eliminating heavy metals and carcinogens from their products. Waste management is also integral; leftover yarn and fabrics are recycled into new garments or repurposed for other industries, demonstrating that sustainability extends from field to factory to finished product. Denby envisions Pact as the “basics brand for the change generation,” appealing to consumers who value ethics, transparency, and design. The brand is part of a coalition with other sustainable apparel companies, collaborating to secure fair market access for farmers, grow organic cotton production, and educate the public on the human stories behind clothing. Social media and events provide direct channels to communicate these values, allowing consumers to engage with the brand and understand the people and processes behind the garments they wear. For Pact, the mission goes beyond selling clothing. It is about proving that everyday apparel can be ethical, well-designed, and accessible, while creating meaningful social impact. By integrating philanthropy, sustainability, and consumer education into the business model, Pact is showing that the basics—underwear, socks, and t-shirts—can carry a powerful message: that fashion can be responsible, thoughtful, and inclusive.

In this Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with confusion and high stakes in the war with Iran, as U.S. and Israeli forces strike Iranian boats planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz while President Trump's hopes for a quick peace deal appear to be slipping. He breaks down Iran's shifting demands over Strait "fees," enriched uranium, and negotiations slowed by the injured Ayatollah's reported isolation, while warning that Arab nations, Israel, and the White House are not fully aligned on what comes next. Bryan also covers a major Russian warning for Americans to leave Kiev ahead of possible large-scale strikes, and connects Moscow's effort to "break the spirit" of Ukrainians to broader concerns about political and spiritual warfare at home. Plus, Bryan highlights new U.S. defense production in Alabama as the country tries to replenish missile-defense stockpiles, digs into the Communist funding network tied to Neville Roy Singham, Hasan Piker, CodePink, and rising socialist candidates, and calls out flawed climate models after UN scientists admit their worst-case projection is now considered implausible. He closes with good medical news on grip strength, depression, creatine, and simple diet choices that support strength, recovery, and long-term health.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war update Strait of Hormuz mines 2026, Trump Iran peace deal nuclear uranium negotiations, Ayatollah hiding CIA intelligence report, Abraham Accords Saudi Arabia Qatar Turkey Israel, Russia warning evacuate Kiev tactical nuclear threat Ukraine, THAAD missile production Alabama Lockheed Martin, Neville Roy Singham Hasan Piker Communist funding network, CodePink Cuba sanctions investigation Ilhan Omar daughter, UN climate model RCP 8.5 implausible Trump climate response, grip strength depression study creatine benefits inflammation, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

The Washington Roundtable is joined by Representative Jason Crow, of Colorado, an Army Ranger veteran, member of the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committees, and one of the so-called Seditious Six, members of Congress whom Donald Trump threatened to have arrested for recording a video which reminded servicemembers that they are not required to follow illegal orders. Crow is also co-leading the Democratic Party's effort to recruit and train a new generation of congressional candidates, placing him at the center of an urgent dilemma: how can the Party translate growing anxiety over the economy and the war in Iran into a coherent, winning message? His answer, in part, is to go “hyper-local,” build coalitions, and ignore the noise. “I tell these folks that you're basically running your campaign like you're running for mayor of your district,” Crow says. “Ignore Fox News, ignore the cable news networks, ignore the algorithms. You can't control that, anyhow.”See the Washington Roundtable live at 92NY on June 4th.This week's reading: “When Trump's Away,” by Antonia Hitchens “What the Gerrymandering Wars Mean for the Midterms—and 2028,” by Isaac Chotiner “Will Donald Trump be Allowed to Destroy His Records?,” by Ruth Marcus “The Looming Disaster of the Border Wall in Big Bend, Texas,” by Rachel Monroe The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.
