Podcast appearances and mentions of Rex Tillerson

The directive sent from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to drop the corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams has hit a fever pitch, so hosts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord use the bulk of this episode to break down this evolving story and what has come to light so far. They tick through how this standoff between federal prosecutors and the DOJ's directive has led to a slew of resignations, and what to watch for as Judge Dale Ho calls for a Wednesday hearing on the matter in Manhattan.  Andrew and Mary then take a beat to preview the first Supreme Court test of Trump's executive power, over his attempt to fire Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel, without cause. (Note: this office is an independent watchdog agency- not part of DOJ). And they wind up this episode by highlighting allegations from whistleblowers that Kash Patel, Trump's nominee to head the FBI, has been directing the firing of senior officials at the FBI.Further reading: Here is Andrew's piece in Just Security: The People of New York v.

Episodio número 100 | En los últimos días se han venido conociendo los nombres que conformarán el equipo de gobierno del segundo mandato de Donald Trump a partir del próximo 20 de enero. Dentro de estos nombres, destaca la designación del senador Marco Rubio como futuro Secretario de Estado. Lo que sería la primera vez que este cargo estaría conducido por un hispano. Hijo de migrantes cubanos y con una dilatada experiencia política en varios comités estratégicos del Senado, conducirá una renovada “línea dura” y asertiva frente a las dictaduras consolidadas en la región. Rubio tendrá un contexto geopolítico marcado por complejo fenómeno migratorio regional, la invasión en Ucrania, el conflicto en Gaza, las tensiones con China, Irán, Corea del Norte, entre otros problemas de escala global. Sin embargo, en su hoja de servicios destaca sus posiciones enfáticas sobre la política exterior hacia Latinoamérica, en especial sobre las dictaduras de Cuba, Nicaragua y Venezuela, donde ha centrado su experiencia parlamentaria. Si bien se conocen los rasgos de la doctrina diplomática del primer mandato de Trump, con Rex Tillerson y Mike Pompeo al frente, en esta ocasión Rubio dispondrá de un mayor respaldo parlamentario con el que no contaban sus antecesores. En este sentido, habría que preguntarse ¿qué margen de autonomía podrá tener en un equipo liderado por Donald Trump? ¿En qué se traducirá su visión neoconservadora de cara a la región latinoamericana? ¿podrá como Secretario de Estado reafirmar la hegemonía estadounidense en el hemisferio frente a la sostenida influencia de China y Rusia? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/latinoamerica21/support

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITCould the puzzling differences in voter turnout across recent U.S. elections hint at something more significant? We kick off this episode with a bold exploration of voter legitimacy, sparked by Biden's 81 million votes. With a glance at the controversial documentary "2000 Mules," we question what might lie beneath the surface of these numbers. Then, the conversation heats up as we scrutinize President Trump's cabinet picks, notably Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security and Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Are traditional credentials overrated when it comes to these critical roles, or is loyalty truly the most valuable asset?As the discussion unfolds, we dive into the qualifications of pivotal political figures and their impact on key policies. Rex Tillerson's appointment as Secretary of State with minimal political experience sets the stage for a deeper look at Noem and Rubio's potential to lead. Our attention then shifts to Tom Homan, the appointed border czar known for his fierce stance on border security. With immigration and human trafficking on the table, we stress the importance of humanitarian law enforcement. Wrapping up, we reflect on the complex perceptions surrounding figures like Trump, particularly allegations of racism, and emphasize the urgent need for effective border policies. Join us as we hold out hope that those in power will tackle these pressing issues with the compassion they demand.

In this episode, we delve into the controversial meeting between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2017, as reported by the New York Times. During this meeting, Trump sought Putin's advice on whether the U.S. should arm Ukraine, a move that raised eyebrows and sparked concerns about his judgment and foreign policy approach. With insights from Rex Tillerson, the then Secretary of State, we explore the implications of Trump's actions and the potential consequences of a second Trump administration. The episode also touches on Melania Trump's upcoming memoir, which includes a surprising account of her involvement in a high-stakes military operation. As we discuss the broader context of Trump's handling of top-secret information, we consider the security risks posed by his actions. Additionally, we examine Trump's recent campaign efforts and his ongoing narrative against FEMA's allocation of funds, highlighting the misinformation and political manipulation at play. We close with a commentary on Lara Trump's depiction of the political climate as a battle between good and evil, emphasizing the underlying tensions within the political landscape.

In this episode, Ralph and Luc delve into what the oil companies knew about CO2's impact on the climate, and how they lied to you to sustain their fossilized business model – even if it risks drilling us into oblivion… This argument will soon be heard in court as part of a series of lawsuits against Big Oil.We start by looking into the history of scholarship on this issue, dating back to the 19th Century.We highlight the record of what the oil companies such as Exxon and the American Petroleum Institute were saying behind closed doors – and contrast this with their contemporaneous public statements.Sources:• If you would like to read California's lawsuit against ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP and the American Petroleum Institute for deceiving the public for decades, you can access it here:https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/FINAL-9-15-COMPLAINT.pdf• We quote from the 2010 book Merchants of Doubt; How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Climate by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M.

ExxonMobil, il gigante petrolifero, è ora il principale estrattore di fracking negli USA. Nato dalla Standard Oil, acquisì Mobil nel 1999. L'acquisto di Pioneer lo consolida come leader nel Permian Basin. I democratici vedono queste fusioni come minacce alla democrazia e all'ambiente. Investigazioni indipendenti hanno dimostrato che le compagnie petrolifere hanno diffuso disinformazione sul cambiamento climatico. Exxon ha ostacolato accordi ambientali, ma sotto Rex Tillerson ha riconosciuto l'impatto umano. Trump lo scelse come Segretario di Stato e ritirò gli USA dall'Accordo di Parigi. Dopo la pandemia, le compagnie petrolifere vedono profitti crescenti, spingendole ad aumentare l'esplorazione e la vendita di idrocarburi.https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/18/opinion/exxon-pioneer-climate-change.htmlChris McFarlane, consulente globale per l'ambiente presso Starbucks, ha sottolineato l'importanza di motivare cambiamenti di comportamento su larga scala, non solo tra gli appassionati del settore. Starbucks ha sperimentato dei contenitori di vuoto a rendere per i suoi celebri caffé. Com'è andata? Quali sono gli insegnamenti?https://www.renewablematter.eu/articoli/article/cosa-ha-imparato-starbucks-sperimentando-le-tazze-riutilizzabili Dal prossimo anno, inizieranno lavori di riqualificazione della grande piazza e snodo del traffico milanese Piazzale Loreto. Questo modello prevede miglioramenti alla circolazione e spazi pedonali in cambio dello sfruttamento commerciale dell'area, portando a una gentrificazione della città. Sebbene la mobilità migliori leggermente, non si prevede una rivoluzione. I dati del progetto indicano una riduzione della superficie dedicata alle auto dal 41% al 31%, ma solo un modesto calo del 5% dei veicoli in entrata. Questo suggerisce una visione a lungo termine che non mira a ridurre significativamente le auto. Tuttavia, durante i lavori, si consentirà il passaggio delle biciclette. Il cambiamento potrebbe suscitare lamentele, ma alcuni potrebbero sperimentare la bicicletta come alternativa ai mezzi tradizionali.https://www.linkiesta.it/2023/10/piazzale-loreto-milano-riqualificazione-progetto-cantieri-fine-lavori-ciclabili-auto/Gruppo WA per ricevere SOLO le notifiche delle nuove puntate - https://chat.whatsapp.com/Fa6acDr4ddcFOWj5FShv9RLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/19026854

My apologies if you have received this twice. Cock up at HQ.Over a Zoom call earlier in the week,  I heard some people discussing the “Russian Davos” which they had attended back in June. I didn't even know such a thing existed, such is my Western, Ptolemaic view of the world. (Ptolemaic, by the way, to save you having to look it up, means you think you are at the centre of the universe, and everything revolves around you).So the Russian Davos, or as it's properly known, the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, held in June, is an annual event that began in 1995 to signal the (then) new Russia. It would attract global political leaders, business titans, finance bigwigs and all the usual shizzle. The event went ahead this year, though, for obvious reasons, the VIP headcount was significantly down. Gone were the likes of (once) German chancellor Angela Merkel, ECB chief Christine Lagarde, Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein, Citi's Vikram Pandit and ExxonMobil's Rex Tillerson. Top billing went to presidents of Egypt (via video link), Kazakhstan, Armenia and other allied states.There were representatives from the likes of China, India, Iran, Serbia, Turkey, Venezuela, Egypt, Belarus, Central African Republic, Nicaragua and the United Arab Emirates. Quite a collection. Non-Western nations that have not imposed sanctions had greater prominence. The Western economy has been shaped by cheap commodity prices The official title of the forum was "New Opportunities in a New World", and the recurring theme was how to improve trade between non-Western powers in a US dollar controlled world of sanctions. "A new form of international cooperation: how will payments be made?" was the title of one such talk. Time and time again the conversation came back to a new, non-Western international currency.Which brings me to the second strand of thought that makes up today's piece: the latest contribution from Credit Suisse analyst, Zoltan Pozsar. Pozsar has long since argued that Bretton Woods III, a new world monetary order, is happening before our eyes and that new money systems east of Europe will be based around commodity-based currencies.In his latest, War and Industrial Policy, Pozsar, who I am fast becoming a fan of, argues that there were three forces that shaped the western economy before Covid - cheap immigrant labour, cheap Chinese goods and cheap gas. Such a trinity is no longer possible in a world in which international trust is fast evaporating. “The “cartoon” version goes like this: China got very rich making cheap stuff, and then wanted to build 5G networks globally and make cutting-edge chips with cutting-edge lithography machines, but the US said “no way”. As a result, Chimerica is going through a messy divorce. The two sides don't talk anymore.” Meanwhile, “Russia got very rich selling cheap gas to Europe, and Germany got very rich selling expensive stuff produced with cheap gas.” Those two sides aren't talking any more either. “Chimerica does not work anymore and Eurussia does not work either,” he says and now, in the divorce, it seems Russia and China are “getting it on”. Meanwhile, out west, QE and zero interest rate policies are no longer possible in a world without cheap Chinese and Russian exports. There is now a rush to regain control of key technologies, especially microchips, and key commodities, especially oil and gas (and soon in my opinion metals and grains). Pozsar adds straits to the key list - the Taiwan Strait, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Bosporus Strait.“I think that four themes (re-arm, re-shore, re-stock, and re-wire the electric grid) will be the defining aims of industrial policy over the next five years … the global order is at stake.”Inflation or not, high rates or not, there is a commodity-intensive demand shock coming that “could easily drive another commodity super-cycle.”So to the third strand. “The issue of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of our countries is being worked out,” Vladimir Putin said last month.In this regards we have former Kremlin adviser, now Minister in Charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU), and an influential economist, Sergey Glazyev. He is, according to some reports, supervising the adoption of a new money system for the EAEU and China. “The world's new monetary system, underpinned by a digital currency, will be backed by a basket of new foreign currencies and natural resources”. “A currency like this can be issued by a pool of currency reserves of BRICS countries, which all interested countries will be able to join. The weight of each currency in the basket could be proportional to the GDP of each country (based on purchasing power parity, for example), its share in international trade, as well as the population and territory size of participating countries. In addition, the basket could contain an index of prices of main exchange-traded commodities: gold and other precious metals, key industrial metals, hydrocarbons, grains, sugar, as well as water and other natural resources.”You can bet your bottom dollar that many of China and Eurasia's brightest minds are plotting such a system, but it's a lot easier said than done. Apart from anything else there is the issue of storing all these commodities. Not all of them keep. Others take up a lot of space. Which is why, in the past, gold alone has been used to back money. It keeps very well and you don't need a lot of space to store it. The bullish backdrop for commodity prices Russia and China both have lots of gold - we have long argued that China's gold reserves are ten times what they say they are. It would be a lot easier to use a gold-backed international currency. Or, well, gold. But governments everywhere, whether controlled by tyrants or technocrats, are always going to want to maintain the option to print, debase and manipulate, so gold alone is unlikely. But you never know. It works as an international money.Against this highly-bullish-for-commodities backdrop, we have a situation here in the west that looks like the dead cat bounce in stocks is now over, and the bear is again gnashing his teeth. That teeth gnashing has extended to commodities, be they metal, fuel or grain, and now, once again, there is a rush for the exit. The main priority is to preserve capital, not positions. The price action - certainly in metals, less so in oil and gas - has the hallmarks of a bear market, not a supercycle.I keep saying these markets are difficult. But they are. While there is a liquidity squeeze all bets are off. But at a certain point, to my eyes at least, it looks like commodity prices are going to rocket.

Get Organic, Roasted, Freeze-Dried Chicken for Long-Term Storage: https://prepperorganics.comIt's unfortunate that I got too busy to post this yesterday while it was still fresh on the mind. I did my live show at Red State Talk Radio and normally I get the podcast up within a few hours. But yesterday was a whirlwind of interviews and discussions, so I didn't get to write up this article or post the podcast until Thursday.For a recap, former acting-DNI Ric Grenell went on the warpath yesterday by posting blatantly false information about America First candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania Kathy Barnette. I came to the conclusion after looking at his and other attacks from people I generally like and admire that they're coming to the defense of Donald Trump and his endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz.Losing in the primary would be a poor loss for the television doctor, but it would be devastating for Trump. The press will eat him alive, hammering for days or even weeks how Trump has lost power in the Republican Party and Dr. Oz losing would be their proof. It's not true, at least the part about Trump losing power. He backed the wrong candidate, a Democrat pretending to be a Republican who is backed by the GOP Establishment and the globalist elites.Grenell and others have come to his rescue, throwing out blatant lies in an effort to smear her at the last moment. Until a couple of weeks ago, she wasn't even a factor in the race. Fellow globalist RINO David McCormick and Dr. Oz were spending a lot of money attacking each other and Barnette snuck in the back door to surge to a three-way tie. The RINOs and Trump allies joined forces to try to take her down at the last minute. Sean Hannity, a Dr. Oz supporter who some believe is the reason Trump backed the candidate, went scorched earth on her during his show Wednesday night.As I said in the article yesterday, I do like Grenell and others who are on the wrong side of this issue. It's disheartening but not entirely unexpected when we look at the big picture. Whether it was ill-advised or not to back Dr. Oz, that's the card that Trump selected and many of his allies are backing his play. The way they look at it, one more RINO in the Senate is a worthy price to pay if it will solidify Trump's status as the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. If Dr. Oz loses in the primary, he'll get roasted by both the GOP Establishment and the press.I don't want that to happen, but I refuse to back Trump's bad choices. I did not support Mitt Romney just because Trump said so. I did not believe Rex Tillerson, H.R. McMaster, John Bolton, Omarosa, Anthony Scaramucci, Reince Priebus, Jeff Session, or Mike Pence were good for the country just because Trump said so. As an America First movement, we cannot blindly follow what Trump or anyone else says just because they say it. We must stand for what's best for the country, and that's Kathy Barnette.

When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West. American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have welcomed him to the White House; British prime ministers from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair have recognized his wisdom; and business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers key insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee's voluminous published writings and presents them in an engaging question and answer format. Lee offers his assessment of China's future, asserting, among other things, that "China will want to share this century as co-equals with the U.S." He affirms the United States' position as the world's sole superpower but expresses dismay at the vagaries of its political system. He offers strategic advice for dealing with China and goes on to discuss India'sfuture, Islamic terrorism, economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee does not pull his punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on multiculturalism, the welfare state, education, and the free market. This audiobook belongs on the reading list of every world leader - including the one who took the oath of office on January 20, 2013.

The members of Donald Trump's controversial cabinet are regular features of the 24-hour news cycle. He has fired members of his cabinet who challenge his thinking on a host of foreign and domestic issues. Just ask Rex Tillerson, James Mattis, and Jeff Sessions. But how did our first president, George Washington, imagine the role of the cabinet? In this episode, we think historically about this important part of the executive branch with historian Lindsay Chervinsky, author of The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution.

Today Jeff and Corey consider the choice of John Bolton to become Donald Trump's national security advisor (replacing Gen. H.R. McMaster), as well as the promotion of Mike Pompeo to be Secretary of State (replacing Rex Tillerson). The shakeup represents a major worldview shift from orange modernity to amber traditionalism in the war cabinet of a President who often operates from the red power stage. So long status quo, which has avoided nuclear war for 75 years and brought about significant disarmament in the last 25. The upside: a grand bargain. Kim Jong Un, knowing we really do have a bigger nuclear button, doesn't trust Trump and Bolton not to use it any more than the rest of us do. Therefore he will be pliable in negotiations that eliminate missiles that could hit the US, and perhaps even more in return for decreasing the American military presence in South Korea, which Donald Trump would like to do anyway. The downside: war. Bolton means what he says about the necessity of a first strike, and Trump goes along for the ratings. Can we trust Donald Trump, who has consistently decried the folly of “stupid” wars, to not get us into another one? The appointment of John Bolton radically recasts the odds.

On my first show for MSNBC last June, I sat down with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, now President Trump's nominee for secretary of state. A quick read of the transcript will reassure any fair-minded person that a much-needed infusion of talent and presidential trust is on the way. First in his class at West Point and an editor of the Harvard Law Review, Pompeo got key experience in the ways of the Washington swamp at the law firm Williams & Connolly before going as far as possible from it to Wichita to launch a successful career in business and then Congress. Most importantly, Pompeo agrees with Trump's priorities and understands that his job is to serve Trump's agenda, not create one of his own. Like George Shultz with President Reagan and Henry Kissinger with President Nixon, the boss needs a trusted right arm, not a distant figure of uncertain commitment to core presidential goals. Good news Pompeo at State!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tres periodistas latinos – León Krauze en Los Angeles y sus colegas en Washington, DC, Janet Rodriguez y Dori Toribio – hablan de la política estadounidense de esta semana. Primero, la despida de Rex Tillerson da plazo a un gobierno ejecutivo más apegado a la política populista y nacionalista de Donald Trump. Mientras tanto, el Presidente visita el estado de California, que su gobierno amenaza con una “política de venganza” por no votar por el. El panel discute este tema con Wendy Carrillo, miembro de la Asamblea de California. Y en los broches: la Reina de Inglaterra en su versión Netflix, un explorador en Antarctica, y jóvenes luchadores contra las armas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
