Een slaande ruzie tussen de nieuwe premier van Japan Sanae Takaichi en het Chinese bewind van Xi Jinping zet een oud conflict op scherp. Dit raakt niet alleen de machtsverhouding in Oost-Azië, maar meteen ook de rol van de Verenigde Staten in de Stille Oceaan en die van Rusland in zijn eigen verre oosten. En omdat het uiteindelijk draait om het eiland Taiwan, raakt het ook de Europese Unie. En bovenal Nederland, als thuisbasis van ASML. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger diepen drie vragen uit: -Waarom provoceerde premier Takaichi meteen bij haar aantreden de grote buur? En waarom reageerde Trump, die 'groot respect' voor haar heeft, zo afhoudend? -Waarom sloeg Xi zo fel terug? -Welke diepe historische gevoeligheden, herinneringen en angsten maken deze explosie even begrijpelijk als riskant? *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Maar in 1972 kwam de 'Nixon Shokku'. De opening naar China door Richard Nixon leek Japan in de kou te zetten en dwong tot herijking van de geopolitieke strategie. Premier Shinzo Abe zette de deur open naar 'zelfverdediging' als agressievere houding en stelde: “Een noodsituatie rond Taiwan is een noodtoestand voor Japan." Dat zijn protegee Takaichi dit herhaalde toen zij Taiwan bezocht, alarmeerde Beijing. Haar coalitie werd direct vanuit China onder druk gezet. Maar dit gaf haar populariteit alleen maar een impuls. Het lijkt erop dat het Chinese bewind hier ook een onverwachte kans zag. Een overleg met een hoge ambtenaar uit Tokyo werd theatraal in scène gezet om hevige nationalistische en historische affecten op te jagen. Zowel militair als cultureel werd Japan in de ban gedaan. Popconcerten van JO1 werden geschrapt, toerisme opgeschort. Een herhaling van massale anti-Japan demonstraties van 2010 dreigde. De Japanse premier probeerde meteen te sussen. Xi Jinping kan deze opwinding goed gebruiken. Hij laat het volk stoom afblazen nu hij zijn nieuwe vijfjarenplan inluidt waarin hightech prioriteit heeft maar het platteland en de middenklasse moeten inleveren. En door Japan aan te pakken terwijl Trump hem schijnbaar bijvalt, laat hij Taiwan voelen dat het eiland nog verder in het isolement gedreven wordt. Deze harde aanpak is in China niet zonder reden populair. Japan overtrof na 1870 de grote buur als nieuwe, moderne wereldmacht en veroverde Taiwan en Korea. Sleutelfiguur in deze razendsnelle ontwikkeling was keizer Meiji die zijn land opengooide naar het Westen als een soort Thorbecke of Deng Xiaoping van zijn tijd. De gruwelen van Japanse agressie in China na 1930 en Mao's militaire triomf over Japan drukken een zwaar stempel op de relaties. Ten diepste is China nog steeds bevreesd voor een ambitieus Japan. Dat premier Takaichi zich als een soort beschermvrouwe van Taiwan zou profileren raakt een open zenuw. Maar tegelijkertijd kan Xi dat eiland laten nu voelen hoe het alleen staat. Het kan zich maar beter in de open armen van China storten. Zijn droom van een 'vreedzame hereniging' naar het model van Dengs greep naar Hong Kong kan zo dichterbij komen. Hij zou dan de voltooier zijn van de nationale eenheid en als heerser voorgoed de gelijke worden van Mao en Deng. *** Verder luisteren 458 - De gedroomde nieuwe wereldorde van Poetin en Xi https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/7e62cdac-bdb9-450c-af23-a7f974ec3e42 453 – 75 jaar Volksrepubliek China, waar is het feestje? https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/2268a339-e0ca-4d2a-85bd-2ec5c4b6a1ca 24 - Ties Dams over China's nieuwe keizer Xi Jinping https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/796c8734-7866-4295-b672-335e345da39e 220 - China's nieuwe culturele revolutie https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/3d52b1c2-d383-4e2c-991b-5531b6de78ae 245 - Oompje neemt de trein – de reis die China naar de 21e eeuw bracht https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8041cd16-d577-45e1-83a9-efd7676c226a 250 - Nixon in China: de week die de wereld veranderde https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/bee983d6-1372-470a-8ce9-27ea6a2d3020 225 - Nixon in China: Henry Kissinger's geheime (en hilarische) trip naar Beijing https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/cff20ade-b4b1-47a8-b554-0fccc620e096 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/eee9ebfb-042b-4753-b70d-a48e915b5beb 488 - Het Congres van Wenen (1814-1815) als briljant machtsspel https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1423134d-c671-4a71-805a-1d21ab9f7de6 *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:36:16 – Deel 2 00:54:06 – Deel 3 01:20:19 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some of the most significant moments in American history have occurred over meals, as US presidents broke bread to strengthen alliances, diffuse tensions, and broker peace: Thomas Jefferson's nation-building receptions; Richard Nixon's practiced use of chopsticks to pry open China; Jimmy Carter's cakes and pies that fueled a détente between Israel and Egypt at Camp David. Author Alex Prud'homme joins David M. Rubenstein to discuss the political power wielded by the White House kitchen.Recorded on June 30, 2024

An introduction to an obscure but powerful timing technique called recurrence transits, which occur when specific planetary alignments in the birth chart are repeated by transits in the sky, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best. Unlike standard transits that form aspects to specific points in the natal chart, a recurrence transit occurs when a planetary alignment found in a birth chart repeats in the sky between those same two planets. For example, if a person was born with a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in their birth chart, then an important event will happen in their life in the future when Venus and Jupiter again form a conjunction in the sky. The episode uses the analogy that specific planetary alignments in the birth chart act like a personal theme song; when the planets repeat the same alignment in the sky, it is as if that music starts playing again, signaling a pivotal turning point where the natal potential of the birth signature becomes awakened through a resonance between past and future. The episode opens by exploring the history and transmission of the technique, which is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world at the present time. Nick shares how he learned the method from the late Michael Lutin in the 1990s, while Chris traces potential roots back to early 20th-century German astrology and ancient Hellenistic texts like Vettius Valens. A key point emphasized early on is how these mundane planetary recurrences operate independently of aspects to natal placements, forcing a conceptual expansion of what defines a transit, and demonstrating how planetary cycles can be tied into important turning points in a life narrative even without direct contact with birth chart placements. To demonstrate the technique in practice, most of the episode is spent presenting a wide range of biographical examples as case studies, and focusing primarily on conjunctions in order to keep things simple and compelling. Case studies include the technological breakthroughs of Steve Jobs and Max Planck, the artistic peaks of Vincent van Gogh and Madonna, and the political rises and falls of figures like Richard Nixon and Joe Biden. The workshop also examines how retrogrades can both extend and intensify the importance of certain recurrence transits, as seen in the lives of Edward Snowden and Charles Manson, and we also touch on shared recurrences in relationships, such as Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. The conversation concludes with a broader philosophical discussion on what this technique implies about the nature of astrology, touching on concepts like simulation theory and the definition of astrology as a map of time. This episode serves as a comprehensive foundation for understanding recurrence transits, providing astrologers and students with a powerful, empirically driven tool for predictive work and biographical analysis that complements traditional methods.

Europa en Oekraïne staren naar een ‘vredesplan' dat twee vastgoedmaatjes van Vladimir Poetin en Donald Trump hebben opgesteld. Ongeloof is hun deel. Intussen lekten telefoongesprekken van die bemiddelaars uit, waaruit blijkt dat Trumps gezant Steve Witkoff het Kremlin adviseerde hoe de president te vleien en manipuleren. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger analyseren de situatie in het licht van actualiteit en historie. Poetin wil - net als Jozef Stalin tegenover Franklin D. Roosevelt en Leonid Brezjnev tegenover Richard Nixon - erkend worden als een gelijkwaardig wereldheerser. Te meer nu zijn oorlog geen triomf werd en China Rusland meer en meer als vazal behandelt. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Europa, Gaza en Kyiv zijn alleen maar lastige obstakels voor die geopolitieke ambitie. Dat is de reden waarom de 28 punten van het vredesplan nog het meest lijken op het Verdrag van Versailles, met Oekraïne in de rol van het verslagen Duitsland. Trump vindt Volodymyr Zelensky toch al ondankbaar, dus zetten Witkoff, JD Vance en hij in op een overeenkomst die Poetin comfort geeft. Elementen als de afsplitsing van grensprovincies, halvering van de strijdkrachten, economische exploitatie van grondstoffen, decennia van financieel-economische slavernij en een bewust politiek-diplomatiek isolement moesten in 1919 Duitsland breken en worden nu Oekraïne opgelegd. Zelfs wordt gedicteerd waarin Kyiv als toekomstig EU-lid wel of niet mag participeren, zodat ook de soevereiniteit van de EU en haar lidstaten aan Poetins welgevallen onderworpen zou worden. Eén detail is veelzeggend. De Russische taal en de Russisch-Orthodoxe kerk moeten 'in ere hersteld' worden. Poetin grijpt weer terug op zijn beruchte speech van februari 2022, waarin hij het bestaan van Oekraïne als natie, als volk en cultuur ontkende. Het land moet zich cultureel weer onderwerpen aan het Kremlin en patriarch Kirill, kortom. Hij is de winnaar van deze oorlog. Deze eis grijpt terug naar de oorsprong van de oosterse orthodoxie. In 325 - precies nu groots herdacht, ook door Leo XIV - zat keizer Constantijn de Grote het eerste wereldwijde concilie voor. Met die rol begon het Cesaropapisme waarin de keizer zowel wereldlijk heerser als spiritueel hoofd van zijn imperium was. De historie van die traditie voert ons langs de grandioze Hagia Sophia, via de eerste kathedraal in Kyiv in 1011 en de opkomst van Moskou na het eind van het Mongoolse wereldrijk. De tsaar - ceasar - vereenzelvigde zich ook daar met wereldlijke én spirituele dominantie. Peter de Grote wilde modernere heerschappij en vervolgde bruut de vrome oudgelovigen. Catharina de Grote sloot een politiek compromis met de patriarch, zodat zij - als 'matushka', moerder van het volk - haar verlichte despotie kon doorzetten. Poetins rolmodel, tsaar Nicolaas I, gaf dat cesaropapisme repressieve ideologische en romantisch-nationalistische scherpte. Na de revolutie van 1917 waren de vervolgingen hard, totdat Stalin in 1941 de kerk nodig had als bron van nationale aanmoediging tegen Hitlers Wehrmacht. Om te overleven boog de patriarch opnieuw. Poetin heeft zich dit model eigen gemaakt. Een triomf over Oekraïne via Trump zou bewijzen dat hij een ware tsaar is die de ‘joodse president’, de westerse jeugd en de afgesplitste kerk van dat land weet te onderwerpen. Met de zegen van patriarch Kirill. *** Verder luisteren 253 - Poetins bizarre toespraak: hoe de president de geschiedenis van Oekraïne herschrijft https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/2b612355-44ba-44d2-a02d-f2ad719fe23b 522 - Zeven zomerboeken (oa over Sergey Radchenko's boek To run the world) https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/betrouwbare-bronnen-522-zeven-zomerboeken 486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel’ Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0552f0eb-998a-4af2-8960-05429aa1f510 455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0feef3c8-fd13-4461-860a-e54e2eba2f2c 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/eee9ebfb-042b-4753-b70d-a48e915b5beb 487 - Donder en bliksem in het Oval Office https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1470ab7b-7d1b-4138-be83-0d4bdd6f37aa 413 - "Eensgezind kunnen we elke tegenstander aan."

The most notorious accused spy of the early Cold War, Alger Hiss, emerged from Lewisburg Penitentiary on 27th November, 1954; calm, composed, and determined to reclaim his reputation. Surrounded by a scrum of journalists, he insisted fear had shaped his conviction, and vowed to vindicate his name. A reserved, cultured “grey man” who had risen through the New Deal, attended the Yalta Conference with Roosevelt, and served as acting Secretary-General at the UN's founding, Hiss's conviction for perjury when accused of Soviet espionage had captured America's attention. Former communist Whitaker Chambers claimed Hiss had been part of an underground network with him in the 1930s, and produced the explosive “pumpkin papers” to prove it: microfilm and typed copies of classified documents that he said Hiss had passed to him, which he'd then stored inside a pumpkin on his farm in Maryland. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover how a young Richard Nixon was instrumental in Hiss's downfall; discover how support for Hiss among prominent liberals turned the case into an early culture-war flashpoint, fuelling the rise of McCarthyism; and probe into Hiss's red-tinged prison reading list… Further Reading: • ‘Chaos Agent, by Jeff Kisseloff' (Harper's, 2025): https://harpers.org/archive/2025/09/chaos-agent-jeff-kisseloff-rewriting-hisstory-alger-hiss/ • ‘SEQUELS: Ordeal of Living' (TIME, 1954): https://time.com/archive/6885609/sequels-ordeal-of-living/ • Alger Hiss Released From Jail' (British Pathé, 1954): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIII6PLV4LY #Scandal #ColdWar #50s #Legal #Politics  Love the show?

According to his own financial disclosure forms, Donald Trump is using his knowledge about deals his own administration is attempting to make to earn himself millions of dollars. Trump's forms show that he recently purchased several million dollars in shares of Intel - the same company that he's trying to have the government purchase a stake in. He made similar purchases of Boeing bonds, the company that stands to profit the most from his potential invasion of Venezuela. Donald Trump has decided to follow through on his administration's promise from several months ago about NOT releasing economic reports to the public. Several months ago, the Trump administration said that it was because the data was being "manipulated" by Democratic plants, but now they're trying to blame it all on the government shutdown. The truth is much more simple: The data is devastating and Donald Trump doesn't want to suffer the humiliation of being the worst president on economic issues since George W. Bush. According to the polling information available, Donald Trump is now more unpopular than at any other point in his two terms in office. But if you step back even further than that, the picture is far more grim. Donald Trump's disapproval rating of 63% (from a recent CNN poll) makes him the LEAST LIKED president since Richard Nixon, and Nixon wasn't truly despised until the Watergate scandal. Since a vast majority of the population is under the age of 50, this means that most of us have never seen a president as despised as Trump. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Drawing Liberalism: Herblock's Political Cartoons in Postwar America (U Virginia Press, 2023) is the first book-length critical examination of the political and social impact of the political cartoonist Herbert Block--popularly known as Herblock. Working for the Washington Post, Herblock played a central role in shaping, propagandizing, and defending the ideals of postwar liberalism, a normative set of values and assumptions that dominated American politics and culture after World War II. Best remembered for his unrelenting opposition to and skewering cartoons of Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon, Herblock introduced the term "McCarthyism" into the American political lexicon. With its unstinting and unapologetic support for the liberal agenda, across a career spanning over fifty years at the Post, Herblock's work affords a unique lens through which to interpret and understand the shifts and contours of twentieth-century American political culture, from the postwar period through the civil rights era into the Nixon presidency.

Richard Nixon's “war on drugs” has always entailed a degree of U.S. pressure on foreign allies. But the Trump administration's strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats off Venezuela charts a new course of non-cooperation. Also: today's stories, including how a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand is falling apart — and possibly pushing Bangkok closer to China; how gerrymandering in the U.S. has evolved; and our Q&A with Representative Jim Clyburn on his new book, “The First Eight.” Join the Monitor's Kendra Nordin Beato for today's news.

John and Bob explore how a little-known thread of mid-20th-century Pentecostalism shaped modern dominionist movements. They uncover the role of William Branham, Roy Davis, Tommy Hicks, and political forces like Richard Nixon in transforming Joel's prophecy into a militant vision of a supernaturally empowered youth army.

He was the catalyst for Professional Wrestling's leap into mainstream society taking it from a cable television novelty, to starring in, what is still today, the largest indoor sporting event in all of history with an attendance of 93,173 to see Hulk Hogan wrestle 7ft 4 inch, Andre the Giant. Huge is an understatement at what an event that was for anyone who was watching it. We honor Hulk Hogan here though, for one of the last things he did in his long and storied career. He spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2024 on behalf of President Donald Trump. At the time, many of the political analyst were saying he was the first Pro wrestler to be involved as an endorser in Presidential Politics. That was far from the truth. Ric Flair had been a big supporter of George H. W. Bush and in 1992 he traveled North and South Carolina with him. We have an episode dedicated to that in our back catalogue from our 1992 Changing of the Guard Series.  We look back at Hulk Hogan with a great deal of fondness, he was a huge part of my childhood. Hulk Hogan was 71 years old.Jim Lovell, helped guide the Apollo 13 Moon mission back to Earth after disaster struck it and an oxygen tank exploded mid mission. The fabulous movie "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks and Directed by Ron Howard tells the story, as does an episode in our back catalogue of material. Jim Lovell always came across as a super nice man, known as "smiling Jim" by his fellow astronauts in the 1960s. I was honored to tell his Apollo 13 story during our initial Richard Nixon series. Jim Lovell was also on the first trip to circumnavigate the moon, and was a a part of the crew that took the famous "Earthrise" photo. We have an episode in our series on Lyndon Johnson that covers that mission. Jim Lovell was 97 years old. This year also saw the passing of my Mother, Gloria Bulmer's favorite movie star, Robert Redford. He was "The Great Gatsby." I have seen the movie several times, it was my mother's favorite. Redford was famous for many other huge blockbuster movies too from "All the President's Men" to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", to another of my mother's favorite movies, "The Sting" with Paul Newman and Robert Shaw. He was the quintessential movie star. He also has an episode in our back catalogue, when we profiled one of my all time favorite movies, "Casablanca", and along with it another of my favorites, that was one of the few of his movies that flopped, "Havana". I loved the movie and never understood why it did so poorly at the box office. Redford also founded the Sundance Movie Festival, which has helped show some of independent films best work. For that we owe him a great deal of gratitude. Robert Redford was 89 years old. We invite you to comb through our back catalogue for all four of these episodes. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1507867/episodes/9047347   Episode 42 Earthrise the story of 1968's Apollo 8https://www.buzzsprout.com/1507867/episodes/9474650  Episode 58 Richard Nixon the Man that Saved the Union : Apollo 13 Our Finest Hourhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1507867/episodes/16716829  Episode 349 George H.

Tetoffensiven i början av 1968 blev en blodig påminnelse för USA om att Nordvietnam och FNL (Vietcong) inte var besegrade, trots att de vietnamesiska förlusterna var så stora att FNL nästan slogs ut.Det stod klart att USA behövde en ny strategi – och om möjligt en väg ut ur Vietnam. Lösningen blev den så kallade "vietnaminiseringen". Kriget skulle inte längre föras av amerikanska marktrupper.I det fjärde och sista avsnittet i vår jubileumsserie om Vietnamkriget sammanfattar och diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved de sista sex åren av konflikten. Richard Nixon tillträdde som president efter valet 1968 och inledde en ny Vietnamstrategi – åtminstone enligt honom själv.Trots detta fortsatte kriget med intensiva amerikanska bombningar mot infrastruktur och även tätorter som Hanoi ända fram till 1972. Under denna period introducerades nya vapentyper, och i Vietnams luftrum möttes amerikanska och sovjetisktillverkade stridsflygplan i direkt konfrontation.De så kallade julbombningarna i december 1972 väckte en stark global opinion. Sveriges statsminister Olof Palme gick i spetsen för kritiken mot USA, och Sverige kom att utmärka sig bland västländerna genom sitt tydliga motstånd.En amerikansk reträtt inleddes gradvis och efter långdragna förhandlingar mellan USA och Nordvietnam undertecknades ett fredsavtal 1973. En svår och återkommande fråga är om kriget varit helt meningslöst ur ett amerikanskt perspektiv. Vad hade USA egentligen uppnått – om något alls?Omslag 1-4: ARVN-soldater stormar en fästning i Mekongdeltat. Crack-trupper från Sydvietnams armé deltar i strid mot Viet Cong-gerillan i den förrädiska och sumpiga terrängen.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Nicholas Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic and former editor-in-chief of WIRED. He's the author of the best-selling book (and one of my favorites of the year), The Running Ground. Nick shares why great leaders must balance being decisive with staying open to being wrong, how to build teams that challenge your thinking without creating chaos, and why the most important skill for the next decade is knowing what questions only humans can answer. Key Learnings Consistency Over Intensity Creates Results - If you go out there every day, six or seven days a week, and a couple days you push yourself really hard, you get faster. There's no two ways about it. If you don't do that, you don't get faster. It's a very good reminder that you can get a lot done if you just go and allot time to pushing yourself. Recommendation letter written by the Stanford faculty about Nick's dad to be a Rhodes Scholar: "Scotty Thompson is the kind of young man that comes along only once in approximately ten years. I cannot recall ever having known a student who possessed the same combination of intelligence, creativity, energy, drive, and dedication. He has attempted more, achieved more, than anyone we have studied– including some who now hold high office. He is generally conceded among those who have observed the student body since World War II to be the outstanding leader of the era. I think it likely that in the entire history of Stanford campus life, he has had no near rival since Herbert Hoover as an undergraduate." Also about Nick's Dad: Tracy Bennett, one of his graduate students, said, "He was flamboyant, gently endearing, annoyingly arrogant, piercingly intelligent, entertaining, and more. I'd never met a man, nor had a professor, who was clearly so brilliant and at the same time so precariously insecure." His grandfather, Frank Thompson, placed second in the Southern California extemporaneous speaking contest held at Whittier College. First place was Richard Nixon. Parenting — "Nothing makes me more worried about failure than parenting." "Parenting is suffused with regrets, confusion, and mistakes. But when I run by, I know my children are rooting for me to succeed with infinite love and enthusiasm." Running hard... Pushing yourself. Why do it? "Discipline builds discipline. Discipline is cumulative." Sometimes You Have to Trick Yourself - I ran 10:48 because the track was bigger than I thought, and I didn't realize how fast I was going. If I had known I was running at a 5:23 pace, I would've shut down. My body would've started to hurt. Sometimes you can't let yourself know what you're actually doing, or you'll get scared. Hiring at The Atlantic - The people he hires at The Atlantic share four must-have attributes: A spirit of generosity. A force of ideas. They're relentlessly hard workers. And they have an edge: an anxiety about getting great work done. That last one stuck with me. The best people aren't just talented... They're driven by a productive anxiety to do work that matters. Becoming CEO of The Atlantic: The Search & Selection: The Atlantic conducted a yearlong search after President Bob Cohn left in fall 2019. When owners Laurene Powell Jobs and David Bradley announced Thompsont in December 2020, they said "Nick is singular; we've seen no one like him" and that he brought "a surround-sound coverage of relevant experience." Move at an Uncomfortable Pace - You don't get anything you want by being comfortable. If you're working in a way that feels easy and setting deadlines where everything seems smooth, you're not growing, you're not learning, you're not getting there. That's a lesson from running, and it's a good lesson for work. Set Audacious Goals - We're setting two extremely big goals at The Atlantic. Our projections don't suggest we're going to hit them. But the same was true last time when I said we're gonna get profitable and a million subscribers in three years. We got there. Sometimes having a really big goal motivates you and forces all the tough choices. Continuous Forward Motion Matters Most - When I realized yesterday's marathon was going badly, I kept telling myself: continuous forward motion. Sometimes the goal becomes just finishing. It's better to make a full drop in pace and hold that than to slowly slide backwards every mile once you know you won't hit your goal. Every Extra Word Is an Opportunity to Lose People - Every extra word, every extra thought, every extra detail that doesn't propel the story needs to be removed. This book is 75,000 words, but there's 60,000 words I cut. Is this sentence absolutely essential? No? It's gone. That's storytelling, and that's leadership communication. The Cocktail Party Test for Storytelling - If you describe what you're writing at a cocktail party, do people come towards you or walk away? I can talk about my 2005 cancer diagnosis and 2007 marathon, and people lock in. I talk about my 2009 marathon, and no one cares. Test what has emotional resonance with your friends. Write and Speak To Help People SEE a Movie - When somebody's reading, they're visualizing it in their mind's eye. Can you see it? Can you feel it? If you can't run a movie in your head about what I'm writing, it shouldn't be on the page. Help them visualize it—the little white house in Concord, walking around Walden Pond. Hiring: Spirit of Generosity and Force of Ideas - Spirit of generosity means can they work with people? Will they be territorial or figure out what's best for the org? Force of ideas means are you smart and sharp? I also want edge—a little bit of productive paranoia. Not complacent, but kind to everybody. Discipline Can Show Up in Different Ways - My editor-in-chief hasn't run a mile in 25 years. Is he disciplined? Hell yeah. Works all the time, focused on every sentence. You can have mental discipline without physical discipline. I try to get the most out of different kinds of people with different strengths. Keep Going - This is the hardest time to graduate because of AI and uncertainty. Find things you're passionate about and really focus on them. My twenties weren't great professionally. I found journalism, but I wasn't good at it yet. Keep pushing, and eventually things turn out for the best. Reflection Questions What would happen if you moved at an uncomfortable pace in your most important work? Where are you setting deadlines that feel too easy and smooth? Are you ruthlessly cutting everything that doesn't propel your story forward? What sentence, meeting, or project exists simply because it always has, not because it's essential?

There are those who ask why so many Americans speak Spanish. But according to the Latino media entrepreneur and historian Javier Marin, you might as well ask why so many Americans speak English. Over the last half century, the Hispanic community in America has risen from 3.5 to 62 million. In his new history of Latino media, Live From America, Marin charts how networks like Univision and Telemundo drove the meteoric rise of Hispanic America. This IS America, Marin insists - there are now 62 million Latinos shaping the country's politics, economy and culture. Rather than a demographic trend about some curious minority, it's the core reality of 21st century America.1. The US is now the world's second-largest Spanish-speaking country Only Mexico has more Spanish speakers than America. The US has surpassed Spain and Argentina. This isn't an immigrant enclave - it's a linguistic and cultural reality that's permanent and growing. As Marin puts it: “Even if you deport three million, we still have 57 million.”2. Univision and Telemundo are America's most powerful political engines - and they're not owned by Latinos These networks reach 60+ million people and absorb massive political advertising dollars from both parties. But Univision is controlled by private equity, Telemundo by NBC Universal. This creates a fundamental tension: are they serving their community or their shareholders? The Jorge Ramos ejection-to-Mar-a-Lago-interview arc tells you everything.3. “When you lose dignity, you lose your vote” Marin's thesis on why Democrats gained with Latino voters in recent elections despite Trump's 2024 inroads. The harsh treatment and “physical aggressiveness” of deportation policies cost Republicans votes. Dignity and political loyalty are directly linked. This matters more than economic messaging.4. Richard Nixon invented the word “Hispanic” - as a political strategy In 1969, Nixon commissioned a committee to encapsulate all Spanish speakers with one word to create a political constituency. Reagan embraced it further with Hispanic Heritage Month. The term “Hispanic” isn't organic - it's a government-corporate construct designed to make 60+ million diverse people politically legible and commercially targetable.5. Spanish-language media has always faced censorship and “English-only” movements From Theodore Roosevelt promoting English-only in the early 1900s to Desi Arnaz being censored on I Love Lucy, there's been consistent pressure to suppress Spanish. The FCC nearly cancelled Univision's predecessor over foreign ownership. The current anti-immigrant rhetoric isn't new - it's the same 100-year battle. The difference now: the numbers make it unwinnable.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The HBO Original documentary ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO, directed by Academy Award® winner Kevin Macdonald (HBO's "One Day in September"), debuts FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14 (8:00-9:45p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. The film screened to critical acclaim at multiple film festivals including Venice, Telluride, and Sundance.A rare and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono's first year in New York City in the early 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive, cinematic experience that brings to life a chapter of explosive creativity and political activism in their lives.By 1971, John and Yoko had just arrived in the United States. They lived in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watched hours of American television. The film integrates a riotous mélange of television to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen - the Vietnam War, "The Price is Right," President Richard Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Walter Cronkite, and "The Waltons." As they experience a year of love and transformation in the U.S., the couple begins to change their approach to protest. This ultimately led to the "One to One" benefit concert, which they organized after seeing Geraldo Rivera's exposé on child neglect and abuse at the Willowbrook State School.On August 30, 1972, John performed at the "One to One" benefit concert at Madison Square Garden - his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles. Footage of this electrifying performance from John and Yoko along with The Elephant's Memory Band had been restored for the documentary and is interwoven throughout the film along with other never-before-seen material.Featuring music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore 18 defining months in the lives of John and Yoko. Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the duo's New York City apartment, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two iconic artists and how their work continues to resonate today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Send us a textIn this episode , we look back at three men who worked tirelessly for their religious beliefs and trying to make this world a better place in their own way, Pope Francis, Pope Leo 14th, and Political Activist Charlie Kirk, plus a rock star from the 1950s and 60s, Connie Francis. Pope Francis became the first Jesuit Priest to rise to the Papacy. The first from Latin America, and the first in centuries not to be born in Europe. He had a daunting task as the Catholic Church was facing a growing scandal of Priests abusing underage kids in their parishes. It would fall to Pope Francis to rebuild the Church's image. He was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, in Buenos Aires in Argentina. His Papacy had controversy, but he was also known for his humility, concern for the poor, the refugee, and his belief in God's mercy to man. He continued to work through various health issues right up until his own death this year. Which leads us to a moment I certainly never thought I would see in my lifetime, if ever. The installation of an American Pope in Pope Leo 14th, Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago. It is an event that even moved me, and I am not a Catholic, that finally we have an American at the helm of the largest Christian Church in the World. We let you learn a little bit about him also in this episode.  Then we look back at the all to short life, and career, of political activist Charlie Kirk. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has been the saddest story and most heinous crime I have seen in my 46 years involvement in politics. Kirk while talking to a college at an outdoor event in Utah, was gun downed by a transgender activist. What was almost as shocking was how far our society has fallen that we saw widespread celebration on the left at the news of Kirk's death. It should give everyone pause. In this episode we look back at his life and his group Turning Point USA, and while I recognize his career was one that had some level of controversy to it, he said nothing that warranted, a father of two small children, being gun down in pubic. It was a shameful day for America. Finally, we will also look back at the singer Connie Francis, known for her hits "Pretty Little Baby", and "Who's Sorry Now", she had a remarkable career which included a campaign song for one of the people we have profiled during the run of our show. We will let you hear that at the end of this broadcast.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Chuck Heinz and Jamie Lent talk Tech Basketball win over Milwaukee, Richard Nixon I am not a crook, NFL weekend, overlooked players for Texas Tech football, and Tech Football win over UCF.

Ripped from the headlines, just two weeks after it ended, we're discussing Daylight Saving Time.

Send us a textFor decades the one thing that never seemed to change in Washington D.C. was constant presence of David Gergen. He was an aid to Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He was a political analyst for PBS and CNN. David Gergen seemed as permanent a fixture as the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. He wrote to extraordinary books Eyewitness to Power, and Hearts Tinged by Fire, which came out when he was 80 years old. I became a fan during the 1990s when he was a commentator alongside Mark Shields at PBS. they were an extraordinary pairing because they were reasonable despite being from opposite political backgrounds, and having decidedly partisan resumes' with the exception Gergen's time with Bill Clinton. David Gergen passed away earlier in 2025, and it marked the end of an era in politics. This episode we try to capture some of his moments, from debating Ari Fleischer, to promoting his books, or talking about the Presidents for whom he served over his long career. We will also take you back to 1992, just after Governor Bill Clinton finished his Democratic Nomination acceptance speech, as we tune in to some giants in political commentary summing up their thoughts on that monumental evening, Jim Lehrer, Robert McNeil, Mark Shields and David Gergen on PBS.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

How unique is Donald Trump's trajectory as a president born of backlash? What should we make of Trump following Barack Obama? Julia Azari finds that backlash presidents like Trump tend to follow transformative presidents like Barack Obama who represent changes to the American racial order. And the backlash presidents commonly face impeachment as they are seen as transgressive figures. She finds parallels in the previous pairings of Andrew Johnson after Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon after Lyndon Johnson. It puts Trump, the American presidency, and our racial politics in useful historical context.

En 1959, en pleine guerre froide, un événement improbable se déroula à Moscou. Les États-Unis, rivaux idéologiques de l'Union soviétique, y organisèrent une vaste exposition nationale : l'American National Exhibition. Pendant six semaines, trois millions de visiteurs soviétiques purent découvrir, dans le parc Sokolniki, un condensé du rêve américain — gadgets, réfrigérateurs, jeans, voitures rutilantes, et même une maison modèle entièrement équipée.L'objectif n'était pas innocent. Dans un monde coupé en deux blocs, cette exposition constituait une véritable opération de séduction, un exercice de “soft power” avant l'heure. Washington voulait montrer la supériorité de son modèle, fondé sur la prospérité et la liberté individuelle, face au communisme soviétique. Les Américains y exposèrent non seulement leurs innovations technologiques — télévision couleur, ordinateurs, cuisine moderne — mais aussi leur mode de vie. Le message implicite : “Voyez comme on vit bien sous le capitalisme.”Pour de nombreux Soviétiques, c'était un choc. Certains voyaient pour la première fois un Coca-Cola, un lave-vaisselle ou un tourne-disque haute fidélité. Les files d'attente s'étiraient sur des centaines de mètres, non pour acheter, mais pour regarder. Les autorités soviétiques, méfiantes, surveillaient la foule tout en essayant de contenir l'enthousiasme.L'épisode le plus célèbre de cette exposition reste le “Kitchen Debate” — le “débat de la cuisine” — entre le vice-président américain Richard Nixon et le dirigeant soviétique Nikita Khrouchtchev. Devant une cuisine américaine reconstituée, les deux hommes s'affrontèrent verbalement sur les mérites comparés du capitalisme et du communisme. Nixon vantait la liberté de choix et la consommation, Khrouchtchev répondait que le système soviétique produisait “de meilleurs réfrigérateurs et de meilleures fusées”. Ce dialogue improvisé, capté par les caméras, fit le tour du monde et symbolisa la rivalité idéologique des deux blocs — avec, en toile de fond, un simple évier chromé et un four électrique.L'exposition de Moscou fut un succès diplomatique pour les États-Unis. Elle montrait qu'au-delà des armes et de la propagande, la guerre froide se jouait aussi dans les cuisines, les supermarchés et les foyers. En confrontant les Soviétiques à la culture de consommation occidentale, elle sema les graines d'une curiosité qui, des années plus tard, contribuerait à fissurer le rideau de fer.Une leçon d'histoire : parfois, un réfrigérateur peut en dire plus qu'un discours politique.

In 1971, the US dollar was backed by gold. That is until President Richard Nixon disestablished that relationship. Since then, the US dollar has lost 87% of its value, meaning that one dollar buys only 12.5% of what it could back then. These figures were published on Sept 29, 2024. Today it is even worse. Multi billionaire Warren Buffet described gold as a ‘pet rock' – good for nothing. Is that a realistic comment? Its fixed value in 1971 was US$35, it is now in the vicinity of US$4000. This week we tackle the whys and wherefores of gold with New Zealand Gold Merchants' Tony Coleman. We look at its commercial value and use, the central banks, the geopolitics, and the trading of it. And finally, we dive into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer. File your comments and complaints at Leighton@newstalkzb.co.nz Haven't listened to a podcast before? Check out our simple how-to guide.

Clay and his popular guest, Lindsay Chervinsky, discuss the history of American presidents and the fourth estate. Almost all presidents are frustrated by a free press, and some have attempted to censor it. Beginning with George Washington (who was thin-skinned but did not strike out at the opposition), through Adams and Jefferson, and all the way to Richard Nixon, the First Amendment has been a casualty of real or perceived national and international crises. The Sedition Act of 1798 and the Espionage Act of 1918 have much in common. Thomas Jefferson, as usual, said all the right things about the importance of a free press, but he also encouraged the governor of Pennsylvania to undertake a few wholesome prosecutions of the most vitriolic Federalist newspapers. Generally speaking, after periods of censorship during national security crises, the pendulum swings back to the center. This program aims to provide historical context and clarity amid our own First Amendment crisis. This episode was recorded on October 17, 2025.  

The Road to Goldwater: Ronald Reagan's Conservative Conversion via General Electric and His Confrontational Governorship. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan found great success in television, hosting the General Electric Theater and earning substantial income while mixing with corporate leadership in the 1950s and early 1960s. Reagan transitioned politically from being an avid New Dealer and FDR supporter to supporting the early Republican conservative movement, particularly Barry Goldwater. Boot argues that Reagan changed, not the Democratic Party, as his transformation began in World War II when he resented paying income taxes at a 90% rate. His political shift was completed in the 1950s during his time as a spokesman for General Electric, where he used long train rides to read conservative literature. In 1964, Reagan's debut on the national political stage came when the Goldwater campaign bought half an hour of air time for Reagan to deliver "A Time for Choosing," which became known simply as "the speech." In 1966, Reagan decided to run for governor against incumbent Pat Brown. During his tenure, particularly the People's Park demonstrations in 1969, Reagan adopted a confrontational stance, using hardline rhetoric and giving student radicals the confrontation they desired, though this approach was politically successful. Reagan was a devoted supporter of Richard Nixon, even backing him during Watergate, though Nixon held little respect for Reagan. Reagan ran hard for the presidency in 1976 and 1980.

LONDINIUM 91 AD. Political Revenge: Comparing Modern American Vendettas to Roman Gore Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) The conversation focuses on the nature of political revenge, prompted by the revival of Seneca's bloody revenge play Octavia. Gaius expresses astonishment that editorialists appear surprised by Mr. Trump seeking vengeance against those who attempted to jail him, noting that revenge is inherent to the Roman and American empires. Germanicus states he is only surprised that the opposing party refuses to confess to similar actions, citing historical Democratic precedents such as the Palmer raids under Wilson and successful efforts against Richard Nixon. He calls the opposition's outrage a "forked tongue expression," noting the unjustified high-security incarceration of individuals for minor offenses following the 2020 events. Gaius observes that the opposition employs false piety and melodrama—such as claiming democracy faces an existential crisis—in place of historical understanding. Germanicus argues that political bitterness and high levels of lying stem from the opposition's belief that they represent light and truth, leading to the "othering" of the enemy. This dehumanization means that lying becomes perceived as an act of virtue. The hosts conclude that while Roman political revenge sometimes involved preemptively wiping out one's own family, the current American conflict represents a comparatively mild cupcake tyranny. 1883 CATO SUICIDE

In December 1968, 20-year-old Barbara Jane Mackle was kidnapped from her motel room and buried underground in a ventilated box that was designed to keep alive for a full week while she was held for ransom. Her kidnappers, Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisman Schier, demanded $500,000 from Barbra's father Robert Mackle, who was a very famous and wealthy Florida businessman. Over the course of 83 hours Robert, along with the help of Richard Nixon, Jay Edgar Hoover, and the FBI, did exactly what the kidnappers demanded to get Barbra out of the box alive.

From the publisher: "When Barack Obama won the White House in 2008, becoming the nation's first Black president, the stage was set for Donald Trump's eventual rise to power. Backlash Presidents shows how, throughout American history, administrations that challenge the country's racial status quo are followed by presidents who deal in racially charged politics and presidential lawlessness, culminating in impeachment crises.In this incisive book, Julia Azari traces the connections between racially transformative presidents and their successors, examining the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and Obama and Trump. When he signed long-awaited civil rights legislation in 1964, Lyndon Johnson unleashed a perfect political storm that swept Nixon into the White House. Azari demonstrates how Nixon's rhetoric, relationship to Congress, and attitudes about executive power exhibit striking parallels with Andrew Johnson and Trump. She discusses how their actions are linked to race and racialized institutions—the Department of War during Reconstruction, the FBI during the Nixon years, and elections today—and looks at what happens after impeachment, describing how the rush to establish a new order perpetuates many of the same problems as the old.Challenging the conventional wisdom about the role of norms in American democracy, Backlash Presidents reveals how normal presidential politics upholds unsustainable racial hierarchy that in turn gives rise to intense periods of instability."For information on Dr. Azari's book from Princeton University Press, head here Support our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

In the 1970s, President Richard Nixon declared a “war on cancer.” Today, President Trump seems to be winding it down. Jonathan Mahler, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how Trump administration efforts to target suspected waste and abuse have shut down vital cancer research, how government funding helped make enormous strides in cancer survival rates, and what happens to patients who find themselves sick with a diagnosis now. His article is “Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
