Podcasts about Ronald Reagan

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, there's a strange group of pseudo-intellectual ‘conservatives' who trash Ronald Reagan and his policies. Is this the Conservative movement? Mark breaks down exactly what a Conservative believes. The problem isn't our principles, the problem is the people we put in office who reject our principles. The problem is the evisceration of our culture. We don't need to reinvent liberty or commerce. We need the right people to be in the right place, who will take on the enemy of culture and government. Also, the FBI is completely out of control. A FISA Court filing revealed that the FBI improperly used warrantless search powers more than 278,000 times in 2021 on Americans. We need accountability for this. If criminal law doesn't exist that puts these people in prison, then one must be written and adopted. Later, Speaker Kevin McCarthy calls in to discuss the debt ceiling. Washington D.C. has a spending problem, and it needs to be reined in. The House Republicans raised the debt ceiling and found a way to claw back spending and Biden ignored McCarthy for 97 days.  Finally, Politico put out a disgusting hit job on Casey DeSantis. Just like the media goes after Trump, they will now go after DeSantis. They would never put out a piece like this on Michelle Obama or Jill Biden. The media hate smart, strong, professional Republican women who are also loving mothers and wives, and who support their husbands. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I'm beginning to think all government programs should come with a warning label, just like the ones on cigarettes. You may think I'm being hyperbolic, but look at how many programs that were created to help us are now used to harm We the People. As Ronald Reagan said, “[A] government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life...

Three FBI whistleblowers testified on May 18 before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. They exposed details on alleged abuses of power by FBI leadership, and how the Bureau retaliated against whistleblowers. Every administration since President Ronald Reagan has mishandled classified materials, including mixing classified and unclassified documents. That's what National Archives officials told the House Intelligence Committee during a closed-door interview in March. Prosecutors say the Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents on social media was warned multiple times over mishandling classified information. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

It's been happening issue by issue, with the complicity of both parties- The fundamental ideals of the nation, including our faith and freedom, are being crushed for the benefit of powerful elites. Using everything from Big Tech to Big Government, these power brokers are silencing the voices of dissent, canceling those who refuse to fall in line, and pitting the masses against one another. Universities are churning out so-called leaders who refuse to learn from past mistakes, but are instead intent on repeating them. - -Those statements come from the guest on this edition of Crosstalk, whose new book issues a battle cry for a populist movement in America. It's a movement that goes beyond any president or political party, but shows how people are coming together from diverse backgrounds to fight for faith and freedom.--Floyd Brown is an author, speaker and media commentator. He is the former CEO of USA Radio Network. He founded the Western Journal news website. Early in his career he worked for President Ronald Reagan and Senator Bob Dole and was the first president of Citizens United. He is the author of numerous books including the newly released book, Counterpunch- An Unlikely Alliance of Americans Fighting Back for Faith and Freedom.--In order to understand why we must fight back for faith and freedom, one must understand where we've come from as a nation, where we are now and examine our trajectory. In explaining this, there are many facets. One is the elites that control our nation, especially their control of the economy and how wealth was actually gained by some of them from COVID, at the expense of smaller businesses that provided a livelihood for many.

Join us this week on the “Words To Live By” podcast as we explore the timeless perspectives of former President Ronald Reagan on small businesses in America. During his time in office, President Reagan emphasized the crucial role played by small businesses in America’s economy, famously stating, “Small business is the heart of America.” We’ll […]

It's Tuesday, May 16th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 6-year-old boy only one in family to survive Texas mall massacre Only one member of the Cho Family — a 6-year-old boy -- survived the Texas mall massacre last week in Allen Texas, reports ABC News. William Cho lost his parents and 3-year-old brother that day.  The Cho family was part of the Prestonwood Christian School and community in Plano, Texas.   Pastor Jack Graham commented on the Christian community helping out. GRAHAM: “This wonderful, sweet family, three of the four now in Heaven, one child left behind needs the ministry and the care of Christian people. Our entire community needs this as well. The church is made for a time like this. Christians are made for moments like these so that we can show the love of Christ and to be there for people.” Thus far, the Go Fund Me campaign for little William Cho has raised almost $1.9 million.  Psalm 68:5-6 tells us, “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation.  God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity.” Non-mortgage debt on the rise Consumer non-mortgage debt is on the rise in the U.S. It's now at $4.64 trillion, up from $2.7 trillion ten years ago. That's an appreciable increase in debt per Gross Domestic Product as well. Overall household debt now exceeds $25.5 trillion, according to numbers just released by the New York Fed.  Debt in America is 360% of Gross Domestic Product The overall debt in America has grown from 160% of the Gross Domestic Product – the sum total value of all goods and services -- in 1980 to 360% of the GDP today. The federal deficit for this fiscal year has already topped $1.1 trillion, and estimates for the 2023 and 2024 deficits hover around $1.8 trillion.   The average deficits between 2013 and 2018 were about $600 billion.   The average deficit under the Clinton administration was 1.6% of the GDP.  The average deficit under the George W. Bush administration was 3.3% of the GDP.  The average deficit under the Barack Obama administration was 4.9%.  The average deficit under the Trump administration was 7.4%.  And now, the average deficit under the Biden administration is estimated at 7.9%. American optimism declining Pew Research finds that American optimism has taken a dive in the last two years. Now, a full 58% of Americans believe that life was better 50 years ago in 1973. Just two years ago, only 43% of Americans claimed that.  Democrats tend to be more optimistic. Deuteronomy 28:43-45 reminds us that “the alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.  Moreover, all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments.” Trump makes exceptions on abortion An eye-opening interview with Donald Trump conducted by the Messenger over the weekend pressed in on the former president's views on abortion.   THE MESSENGER: "Abortion is a big issue you talked about in 2022 when you said that Republicans didn't really have the right message. They didn't know how to talk about the issue properly. So what's the right way for a Republican to talk about abortion in the 2024 elections?" TRUMP: “Well, pretty much what I said in the CNN town hall. ... First of all, I'm a believer in the exceptions, right? And just as Ronald Reagan was a believer in the exceptions, but I'm a believer in the exceptions … the life of the mother, raping and incest.  … The other thing I really believe is that the radicals are people that would have a baby destroyed, killed at the end of the ninth month or even after birth.” Later in the conversation, this was said. THE MESSENGER: "DeSantis signed a six-week abortion restriction in Florida. Do you think he was right to do that?" TRUMP: “Well, he has to do what he has to do. If you look at what DeSantis did, a lot of people don't even know if he knew what he was doing. But he signed six weeks, and many people within the pro-life movement feel that that was too harsh.” THE MESSENGER: "What do you think? Is it too harsh for you?" TRUMP: “I'm looking at all alternatives. I'm looking at many alternatives. But I was able to get us to the table by terminating Roe v. Wade. That's the most important thing that's ever happened for the pro-life movement.” The U.S. church gender gap The church gender gap in America is bigger than you may have thought. A recently released Study of Faith and relationships looked at 19,000 Sunday church attendees and found that there are 42% more never-married single women than never-married men in the pews today. The gender gap between single, divorced churchgoers is 77 percent women to 23 percent men. Overall, women make up 62 percent of all Sunday church attendees.  Here's another important takeaway from the study.   Faithful marriages matter. While less than half of young adults in the U.S. grew up in continuously married homes, a full 87% of young men still attending church grew up in continuously married homes. Canadian government looking to punish Christian on-line content The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission will now be regulating online content, according to the newly adopted Online Streaming Act, reports the CBC. It will have the power to impose financial penalties on anybody who violates parts of the act, which includes respecting diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity. The Canadian Radio-Television Commission already regulates Christian broadcasters, requiring them to dedicate broadcast time to promoting other religions.  No more COVID passports for incoming vistors to America Beginning last Friday, Canadians and other multinationals may enter the U.S. without proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The Biden administration dropped the requirement, following a vote of the US House of Representative to that order in February.   Japan dropped their requirements for COVID vaccines or testing on April 29th. And China and Brazil still require testing before entering their respective nations.  SpaceX launched another 56 satellites And finally, Elon Musk's SpaceX launched another 56 satellites over the weekend taking the total to over 4,400.   His Starlink internet system now has an estimated 1.5 million subscribers. The Royal Caribbean cruise line has implemented the system. The dish will run you $599, and the monthly cost will be $90-$120.   If you're an RV'er, and on the move, the month's rate jacks up to $150. That gets you 30 gigs a day.

Vicki Morgan, mistress to department store heir and Ronald Reagan confidante, Alfred Bloomingdale, lived beyond her years and died before her time—the victim of a brutal murder. Seething with power, intrigue, sex and obsession, it's a ringside seat into the darker habits of the world's rich and powerful.The Guys Who Spied for China“The Guys Who Spied for China” is a roman a clef, exposing Chinese Espionage Networks during the eighties and nineties.It is the quirky story of how two disparate men uncovered an elaborate spy operation that had functioned on American soil for nearly four decades. Through fate and serendipity, Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, meets Johnny G Man, a vaunted scientist and the ultimate Cold Warrior.What they helped unmask was a network of home grown spies in California and throughout the United States. As a result, newspapers ran relentless headlines depicting Chinese Espionage practices in the United States. The year 1985 was pronounced by the news media as “The Year of the Spy.”“This is a new twist on the spy drama. While providing details of events that were often swept under the rug, this very personal and often darkly humorous tale captures what it feels like to be suddenly thrust into the shadowy world of espionage. You get to feel what it's like to be there.The Guys Who Spied for China is set largely in California, in the Santa Monica Mountain Range, just above Beverly Hills.What's remarkable is that most of this story is true.

Today's Republican party looks a lot different than it did just a few decades ago, but it rests on many of the same organizations and ideologies that formed the modern conservative movement in the 1970s. In this episode, Rick Perlstein joins us for a conversation about his newest book Reaganland: America's Right Turn, 1976-1980 and how Ronald Reagan, Orrin Hatch and other prominent Republicans were able to harness the social and political forces of the 1970s to form the modern GOP. Rick Perlstein is the award-winning author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, including Reaganland (Simon & Schuster, 2020), Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America (Scribner, 2009) and Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus (Bold Type Books, 2009), as well as a board member at InTheseTimes.com. You can follow him on twitter at @RickPerlstein. In this conversation we also discussed Rick's recent article “This Is Us: Why the Trump Era Ended in Violence,” The New Republic, January 20, 2021. This is an edited rebroadcast of RTN #199, which originally aired on June 14, 2021. Both the original episode and this rebroadcast were edited by Gary Fletcher.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber—ready to deliver an inclusive and diverse discussion on the most important topics of the day—giving you better analysis and insight that anyone else—shining a spotlight on the cockroaches of the swamp—and delivering truth and justice just when hope was starting to fade—   Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— A horrible weekend in Texas as a mass shooting and a rampaging driver—both leaves several dead and many more hospitalized in critical condition—   Number Two— A new AI chatbot has arrived on the scene—this one however is conservative and named to honor President Ronald Reagan—its called Gippr—   Number Three— This could prove to the be the toughest week yet for President Joe Biden—in fact this week could prove to be pivotal in the race for the White House that is setting up next year—   The week will begin with President Biden staring straight down the lens of his worst polling numbers ever—and this has been the trend over the last month—one major poll after another show the American people no longer trust Biden— CBS, Reuters and Gallup have been among those giving failing grades to the Administration on just about every major issue—in fact you would be hard pressed to find a positive number anywhere on critical issues that people care about—like the economy, the border, national security or the war in Ukraine—   And even worse for team Biden is that most Americans don't believe he is even capable of doing the job—mentally or physically—   Americans have seen too much—this time it's the ABC News/Washington Post Poll showing that Biden has fallen to his lowest numbers yet—And how bad is it?   Well…   But despite the rejection of his Administration's policies and the President himself—Biden will admit no wrong—it seems he is just too arrogant to take responsibility for anything—with Biden its always the blame game—AND that is something that isn't working anymore either—   He has consistently tried to blame former President Donald Trump for his failures at the border and on the economy—but he is willing to blame his friends in the media for his flagging polls numbers too—   However like I said a moment ago—his friends in the media also seem sick of taking the blame for all of it—and they are actually asking some questions that matter—which is strange considering they didn't do that once on the way to Election Day 2020—   If the Presidential Election were held today—according to the new ABC News Washington Post poll—Donald Trump would win the National Popular Vote by 6 points—and Governor Ron DeSantis would beat Biden by 5 points—   And we haven't even gotten to the reasons—why this could turn out to be his worst week yet—   Lets start with Hunter Biden—the First Son—who was in an Arkansas courtroom last week for a child support dispute over a child he refuses to acknowledge— the President also ignores that grandchild—to be clear, its not a good look—   But that will be child's play for real, if the Whistleblowers we are told are ready to testify before Congress come out—In fact Congressman James Comer is telling the Department of Justice to hold off on any indictments of Hunter until the Republicans hold a press conference on Wednesday that could blow the lid off the entire Biden family—and the allegations of selling government policy for cash—which of course means taking bribes—and those allegations are aimed at both Hunter and his dad—   So that by itself would be bad enough—but now there are even bigger problems coming on Wednesday in the form of a human tidal wave at the southern border—   Some reports say as many as 700,000 illegals could overrun the US/Mexican border in just a few days—and this comes after everyone that is paying attention says were are already in a dire situation that is threatening our national security and some say our very existence as a nation—   It is creating a political firestorm—because it has already created a humanitarian disaster in Texas—    And like always—the soon to be 81 year old President takes no responsibility at all—for anything he has done—he just smirks and slurs—and fills his diaper—   Yeah this is going to be a tough week for Joe Biden—and you have to wonder—if its not exactly the escape hatch the Democrats have been searching for—

SPECIAL GUEST: DINESH D'SOUZA In this episode, I'm sounding the alarm on the influx of migrants expected to pour across the Texas-US border in the coming days as Title 42 expires. Plus, the NY Times believes it found the 'smoking gun' text message from Tucker Carlson that supposedly got him fired. The text shouldn't have surprised Tucker. Might the bigger issue for Fox News have been fear of regulation from Democrats? And, the Federal Reserve raised rates to the highest level in 16 years but, it's still not enough to fix inflation. Joining me today is conservative thought leader, Dinesh D'Souza. Dinesh, a filmmaker and media commentator, is the host of the Dinesh D'Souza podcast. In today's discussion, we look at why gender dysphoria has become the topic du jour for both sides of the aisle. According to Dinesh, it may mark a dangerous turning point for Western civilization.

 This is the soundtrack to a film strip from 1965. It is narrated by Bill Richardson.  Senator H. L. Richardson was a nationally recognized, twenty-two-year veteran of the California State Senate who focused his extensive political career on the preservation and protection of our Second Amendment rights. An active hunter and outdoorsman, Senator Richardson was vigorously involved on the state and national scene, racking up political victories that spanned more than four decades.In 1966, H. L. “Bill” Richardson, a successful advertising executive, was elected to the State Senate the same year Ronald Reagan was elected California's Governor.  Because of his vast hunting and outdoor experience, he was tapped to Chair the Senate Fish and Game Committee, and was elected by his Republican colleagues to a leadership position as Caucus Chairman, a post he held for many years.In the early 1970's, the Senator became very aware of the worldwide inroads the radical left were making in politics, most specifically their consistent attempts to disarm Americans. He became a life member of the NRA and, with their encouragement, authored the state preemption of firearms law which in 2009 resulted in overturning the recently enacted San Francisco handgun ban.  He was subsequently elected to the NRA Board of Directors, where he served for over a decade.In 1975, the radical left introduced legislation to ban all handguns in California. The bill generated strong support from elected officials and the main-stream media, which triggered Richardson to mobilize enraged citizens from throughout the state.  It was at this point that Gun Owners of California was born, a direct mail attack was unleashed and the bill was defeated.  Gun Owners of America soon followed and Richardson's keen skill for mobilizing single individuals toward a common goal launched a very effective political movement that continues to focus on the preservation of the Second Amendment.During his 22 years in the California Senate, Richardson showed that a determined application of confrontational politics could produce big victories.  While in office, in addition to GOC and GOA, Richardson organized multiple Political Action Committees [PACs] that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight the political left. One such committee was “Law and Order Campaign Committee” which led the charge to defeat Chief Justice Rose Bird and two other liberal members of the state Supreme Court. The three anti-victim justices were defeated by over a million votes. LOCC then pushed for the return of capital punishment, a move strongly opposed by the liberal leadership of both houses and Governor Jerry Brown (during his first term in office). Using massive direct mail pressure, the bill passed both houses but in spite of heavy support from the public, the bill was vetoed.  LOCC refused to give up, and using targeted direct mail and the mobilization of concerned citizens, Governor Jerry Brown's veto was overridden.Richardson took this sharp political insight and wrote a virtual “game plan” for political wins with his controversial book, Confrontational Politics.   He clearly explained his core belief that politics should be a struggle of competing ideologies, not a game of compromise and accommodation.  A published author, other works include “Slightly to the Right,” an entertaining yet informative book written in the 60's that taught conservatives how to debate their liberal friends.  It became an immediate conservative classic which sold over 250,000 copies nationally.“What Makes You Think We Read the Bills?” was written while Richardson was in the Senate and provides rare, yet funny insight into the real-life workings of the Legislature.  It has been used as a textbook in political science classes throughout California.Richardson also combined his love of writing and extensive knowledge of the American West to write a series of Western mysteries, beginning with “The Devil's Eye”, and followed by the sequel “The Shadows of Crazy Mountain.” For a change of pace, he authored “Split Ticket,” a political comedy based in Sacramento, California.His unique perspectives and use of humor kept him in demand as a speaker and writer, and he provided colorful media commentary on a host of issues.  He was the recipient of numerous awards and accolades from fellow Second Amendment organizations, and received such notable recognition as Outstanding Statesman Award from the Conservative Caucus, Law and Order Award from American Educational League, the Guardian of Freedom Award from (YAF) Young Americans for Freedom and the Ronald Reagan Freedom Fighter Award.  He was also recognized for his exceptional work in law enforcement, having earned commendations from California homicide investigators, swat teams, police, parole and correctional organizations.Senator Richardson had three children and seven grandchildren.  He was married to his beloved wife Barbara for 57 years.  He resided in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, east of Sacramento, California, until his passing on January 13, 2020.Please visit our website www.campconstitution.net

SPECIAL GUEST George Webb Follow George Webb on his Substack Follow George Webb on Twitter - Jeffrey Epstein - he was a CIA plant, his sole purpose was to record elite officials doing sexual things w/ young people to blackmail them after the fact. HEADLINE: Was Remdesivir A By Product Of HIV Research At Gilead? by George Webb Former Gilead CEO John C Martin A key part of my research into how military solutions for mRNA and Remdesivir have been thrust upon the American people has been to look at the wars and bioweapons programs these products were born from. I have looked extensively into the BioPreparat program of Ken Alibek of the Soviet Union and his close collaboration with Michael Callahan of UAB and Southern Research. The battlefield countermeasures for bioagents have a way of showing up as “entities of excitement” that usher in experimental technologies like mRNA vaccines. HEADLINE: Remdesivir Links Anthrax 9/11 Players To Corona 9/11 Gang by George Webb Remember Debra Birx = Scarf Vader Dr Fauci all of these folks go back to PEPFAR back in 1983. PEPFAR = President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Celia Farber is writing about PEPFAR too so you two are the only ones writing about this stuff. President Ronald Reagan's Special Envoy to the Middle East, Rumsfeld met w/ Saddam Hussein during a visit to Baghdad in December 1983, during the Iran-Iraq War. George Webb wrote about Dr. Michael Callahan's extensive work in the Soviet Union bioweapons program in my book, “BioAgent UTMB”. Callahan was decommissioning bioweapons there, and then moving them to labs controlled by the DoD all around the old Soviet Union including Odessa, Ukraine. I have written that I believed Southern Research here in Birmingham, Alabama, was involved in the development of military countermeasures against this old Soviet arsenal. Miltary countermeasures, as we have seen recently, make very profitable billion-dollar cash cows for certain Gilead executives connected to the Department of Defense.

Did U.S. President Ronald Reagan end the Cold War? Or did the war end because Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev abandoned it? William Inboden argues forcefully for the former interpretation in his new book, The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the World on the Brink. Reagan's strategy in dealing with the Soviet Union and ending the Cold War involved reviving the U.S. economy, restoring American self-confidence, rebuilding American military might, and working closely with our democratic allies. He then pressured the Soviet Union into an economically unsustainable arms race, engaged in proxy battles with them around the globe, and waged a successful propaganda war that pitted the political, religious, and economic liberties of the “free world” against the bankruptcy and tyranny of the “evil empire.” But when liberalizing Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the USSR in 1985, Reagan saw sooner than most of his advisors that here was a reformer with whom he could work to bring peace.  William Inboden is the Executive Director and William Powers Jr. Chair of the Clements Center for National Security at the University of Texas at Austin. He previously held senior positions with the State Department and in the National Security Council under President George W. Bush. In this podcast, Inboden describes his work on Capitol Hill, his graduate study that focused on both U.S. diplomatic history and American religious history, his service in the Bush White House as well as with the Legatum Institute in London, and his return to academia. He details the factors that inspired him to write The Peacemaker, the declassification of Reagan-era documents that enabled him to arrive at new historical insights into the Reagan presidency, and his own change in perspective that led him from being intensely critical of Reagan (particularly with regard to his support of authoritarian anti-communist regimes and insurgencies in Central and South America) to holding a more favorable assessment of his legacy.  Inboden also discusses how former Republican president Dwight Eisenhower exerted a more significant influence on Reagan than most historians have recognized, how Reagan's conception of the Cold War differed profoundly from that shared by his predecessors, how the Strategic Defense Initiative (aka “Star Wars”) was at the heart of his strategic vision of a world without nuclear weapons, and why he is confident that the Reaganite tradition in the Republican Party can be revived. Inboden also argues for the value and relevance of history for policymakers, as well as why he believes that public universities need to uphold their end of the implicit social contract they have long maintained with American society.

A generation ago, Ronald Reagan mapped out and executed a strategy for taking down the last totalitarian communist regime that sought America's destruction. That was the Soviet Union's evil empire. We can settle for no less with respect to our time's existential threat to freedom. The Chinese Communist Party can and must be thwarted in its determined bid to crush liberty, destroy our country, and institute what Xi Jinping calls global governance directed and enforced from Beijing. Frank Gaffney joins Kevin Freeman to talk about China's aggression and what can be done about it.

Dom welcomes Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his continued campaign as he hopes to take on Donald Trump and others in the Republican primary. Vivek has made a ton of headlines recently, with many suggesting an interview he had with Don Lemon was the final straw in Lemon's firing from CNN, after the former host and he had an impassioned debate about racial relations that included Lemon saying it doesn't matter “whatever ethnicity he is.” Ramaswamy takes us inside the time spent in studio, telling how he noticed the host becoming more and more flustered as the interview went on, getting frustrated at producers giving him notes through his earpiece. Then, Vivek and Dom run through multiple topics that will formulate the cornerstones of his campaign, and Vivek explains the opportunity that voters have to see something similar to Ronald Reagan happen again.

In today's second hour, Dom welcomes Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his continued campaign as he hopes to take on Donald Trump and others in the Republican primary. Vivek has made a ton of headlines recently, with many suggesting an interview he had with Don Lemon was the final straw in Lemon's firing from CNN, after the former host and he had an impassioned debate about racial relations that included Lemon saying it doesn't matter “whatever ethnicity he is.” Ramaswamy takes us inside the time spent in studio, telling how he noticed the host becoming more and more flustered as the interview went on, getting frustrated at producers giving him notes through his earpiece. Then, Vivek and Dom run through multiple topics that will formulate the cornerstones of his campaign, and Vivek explains the opportunity that voters have to see something similar to Ronald Reagan happen again. Then, after hanging up with Vivek, Dom continues on with a discussion about national politics, explaining where he thinks Ramaswamy will fit into the primaries and telling why he's excited to see him on the debate stage. After that, Dom tells about something he noticed about a list of Hollywood actors who are able to draw solely based on their name, revealing that most on the list are over 40 years old whereas, on a similar list in the 80s, most actors were in their 20s.

In this episode, we explore the weighty subject of humans finding ways to say goodbye to a beloved dog, and the spectrum of ways people deal with the grief of losing a beloved pet. For ages, proof of the unique bond between humans and dogs has existed in literature, song, and lore. But rarely discussed are the lengths humans will go to pay homage to their dogs after they have passed. Everyone mourns pet loss differently. From the creation of pet cemeteries to bestowing monetary gifts to cover future care, the love we feel for dogs extends beyond this earthly realm.   Bonafide Bits: In a 50 square meter plot in Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, some 1,300 dogs were individually buried between the 5th and 3rd centuries. The constellation Canis Major was named after Maira, the faithful hound of Ikarios, a winemaker of ancient Greece. Ronald Reagan famously dramatized George Graham Vest's Old Drum closing court argument. Famous women who left money to their dogs include Lauren Bacall, Joan Rivers, and Leona Helmsley.   Featured Breeds: Maltese The tiny Maltese, “Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta,” has been sitting in the lap of luxury since the Bible was a work in progress. Famous for their show-stopping, floor-length coat, Maltese are playful, charming, and adaptable toy companions. Discover more about Malteses at AKC's Maltese Breed Biography.   Yorkshire Terrier Beneath the dainty, glossy, floor-length coat of a Yorkshire Terrier beats the heart of a feisty, old-time terrier. Yorkies earned their living as ratters in mines and mills long before they became the beribboned lapdogs of Victorian ladies. The Yorkshire Terrier is a compact, toy-size terrier of no more than seven pounds whose crowning glory is a floor-length, silky coat of steel blue and a rich golden tan. Don't let the Yorkie's daintiness fool you. Tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes bossy, the Yorkie exhibits all the traits of a true terrier. Yorkies are long-lived and hypoallergenic (the coat is more like human hair than animal fur), and they make fine little watchdogs. This is a true “personality breed,” providing years of laughs, love, and close companionship. Discover more about Yorkshire Terriers at AKC's Yorkshire Terrier Breed Biography.   Drever The Drever is robust rather than elegant and speedy. They have a proud carriage, well-developed muscles, and an agile appearance. Affectionate, playful, and sweet, the Drever gets along well with most other breeds and is great in groups. The Drever was developed in the early twentieth century in Sweden. Hunting deer was difficult due to terrain and herd locations so hunters soon realized the benefits of using this short-legged, long-bodied dog to drive the deer over long distances and rough terrain right to them. A keen and even-tempered hound, the Drever is never aggressive, nervous, nor shy. They are content in most living situations but tend to be vocal when alerting or at play. Discover more about Drevers at AKC's Drever Breed Biography.   Pumi The Pumi (POO-mee; plural Pumik) was conceived as a compact, quick, and fearless sheepherder capable of moving flocks on the narrow roads connecting the pastures of western Hungary. At a glance, it might be hard to believe that this cuddly charmer was born to do such tough work. With his coat of corkscrew curls, circular tail, expressive ears, and distinctively whimsical look, the Pumi is all kinds of cute. But beneath the curls is a lean, deep-chested herder with a seemingly endless capacity for work and play. Discover more about Pumik at AKC's Pumi Breed Biography.   Löwchen A companion dog whose name is German for “little lion,” the Löwchen has been a popular pet among Continental Europeans for more than 500 years. The portable, non-shedding Löwchen is said to be affectionate, lively, and brave as a lion. Small dogs with enormous hearts, Löwchen (the same singular or plural) stand a bit over a foot tall at the shoulder. The coat is traditionally kept in a “lion clip,” in which most of the hindquarters and tail are clipped down close to the skin. The overall effect is that of a mini lion, with a full mane and plumed tail. The coat comes in several colors and color combinations. Beneath the coat is a dog that's strong and sturdy, but elegant and artfully balanced. Discover more about Löwchen at AKC's Löwchen Breed Biography.   Boerboel Boerboels are intimidating but discerning guardians of home and family who learned their trade while protecting remote South African homesteads from ferocious predators. They are dominant and confident, also bright and eager to learn. There's a no-frills, no-nonsense quality to this sleek-coated avenger, which might stand as high as 27 inches at the shoulder and weigh as much as you do. A broad and blocky head, powerful jaws, and thick muscles from neck to rump mark it as a descendant of the ancient “molloser” dog family, the foundation of today's mastiff-type breeds. In motion, the Boerboel just might be the most agile of all mastiff types. The imposing Boerboel is devoted to protecting the people and places he loves. This is a trainable, versatile breed, eager to spend time with their adored humans. Discover more about Boerboels at AKC's Boerboel Breed Biography.   Canaan Dog One of the AKC's oldest breeds, the Canaan Dog is the national dog of Israel. This quick, medium-sized pasture dog is docile with family and aloof with strangers. The ever-alert Canaan is a vocal and persistent guardian of flock and home. Canaan Dogs are lean, bushy-tailed dogs standing 19 to 24 inches at the shoulder. The coat is straight and harsh and comes in various colors and patterns. Erect, expressive ears and dark almond eyes convey an inquisitive expression. Canaans move at a brisk, natural trot. They are rugged, agile, and apparently tireless, making them a nice fit for hikers and runners. Canaans are clever, confident, and territorial. They will end up "owning" passive owners who haven't established themselves as the top dog in the family pack. Agility, obedience, herding trials, and sentry duty are a few outlets for their work ethic. Discover more about Canaan Dogs at AKC's Canaan Dog Breed Biography.   Cane Corso Smart, trainable, and of noble bearing, the assertive and confident Cane Corso is a peerless protector. The Corso's lineage goes back to ancient Roman times, and the breed's name roughly translates from the Latin as “bodyguard-dog.” Discover more about Cane Corsos at AKC's Cane Corso Breed Biography.   German Shepherd Dog There are many reasons why German Shepherd Dogs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherd Dogs will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” Discover more about German Shepherd Dogs at AKC's German Shepherd Dog Breed Biography.   Akita Akitas are burly, heavy-boned spitz-type dogs of imposing stature. Standing 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder, Akitas have a dense coat that comes in several colors, including white. The head is broad and massive and is balanced in the rear by a full, curled-over tail. The erect ears and dark, shining eyes contribute to an expression of alertness, a hallmark of the breed. Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of strangers and often intolerant of other animals, Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love. They must be well-socialized from birth with people and other dogs. Discover more about Akitas at AKC's Akita Breed Biography.   Newfoundland The massive Newfoundland is a strikingly large, powerful working dog of heavy bone and dignified bearing. The sweet-tempered Newfie is a famously good companion and has earned a reputation as a patient and watchful “nanny dog” for kids. Discover more about Newfoundlands at AKC's Newfoundland Breed Biography.   Black and Tan Coonhound Large, athletic hunters who work nights, Black and Tan Coonhounds are friendly, easygoing hounds who love company. They are snoozy by the fireside but tenacious when on the trail of the wily raccoon. The Black and Tan Coonhound is a real American original. Black and Tans have an amazingly sensitive nose, long, velvety ears, and a sweet disposition. The coal-black coat features rich tan accents, including the distinctive “pumpkin seeds” above keenly expressive eyes. These are big, strong hounds: A good-sized male can stand 27 inches at the shoulder and cover ground with effortless, eager strides. Black and Tan Coonhounds are sociable hounds. Discover more about Black and Tan Coonhounds at AKC's Black and Tan Coonhound Breed Biography.   Papillon The quick, curious Papillon is a toy dog of singular beauty and upbeat athleticism. Despite his refined appearance, the Pap is truly a “doggy dog” blessed with a hardy constitution. Papillon fanciers describe their breed as happy, alert, and friendly. A tiny dog, measuring 8 to 11 inches at the shoulder, you can still spot a Papillon a block away thanks to the large, wing-shaped ears that give the breed its name (“papillon” is French for “butterfly”). Some Paps have erect ears; in others, known as the Phalene type, the ears are down. Paps are dainty and elegant, with a plumed tail, and a long, silky coat of several color combinations, the base color being white. More robust than they look, Paps are little dogs for all seasons and reasons. They thrive in warm or cool climates, in town or country, and are eager to join the family fun. They are excellent agility dogs and are consistent winners at the sport's highest levels; less ambitious owners can train them to do all kinds of tricks. Discover more about Papillons at AKC's Papillon Breed Biography.   Havanese Havanese, the only dog breed native to Cuba, are cheerful little dogs with a spring in their step and a gleam in their big, brown eyes. These vivacious and sociable companions are becoming especially popular with American city dwellers.

Independent problem-solvers, PRTs can have their own ideas on how to go about things. Discover more about Parson Russell Terriers at AKC's Parson Russell Terrier Breed Biography.   Border Collie A remarkably bright workaholic, the Border Collie is an amazing dog — maybe a bit too amazing for owners without the time, energy, or means to keep it occupied. These energetic dogs will settle down for cuddle time when the workday is done. Discover more about Border Collies at AKC's Border Collie Breed Biography.   Japanese Chin Chin are the unrivaled noblemen of Japanese breeds. They're tiny “indoorsy” companions, with an unmistakably Eastern look and bearing. The head is large, the muzzle short, and the round, dark eyes convey, as Chin fans like to say, a “look of astonishment.” The profuse mane around the neck and shoulders, the plumed tail arching over the back, and the pants or “culottes” on the hind legs project the elegant, exotic appearance so typical of Asia's royal line of laptop cuddle bugs. Discover more about Japanese Chins at AKC's Japanese Chin Breed Biography.   For more information about a specific breed visit the breed's parent club or AKC.org.   Shareables: Likely the closing argument by George Vest in the legal battle of Burden v. Hornsby solidified the truth that dogs are members of the family. Dogs are more than mere property. They're special. The law says so! Strictly speaking, a dog cannot inherit money although a trust can be established to care for it.

Dr. Aaron Bateman is an Assistant Professor of History and International Affairs at George Washington University and an affiliate of the Space Policy Institute. He received his Master's in International Relations from St. Mary's University in San Antonio and his PhD in the History of Science and Technology at Johns Hopkins University. His research takes place at the intersection of science, technology, and national security during the Cold War. His research interests include technological cooperation and competition, military spaceflight, secrecy and knowledge regulation, arms control, technology and warfare, and the role of intelligence in statecraft. His work draws from archival collections in the United States, Western Europe, and the former Soviet Union. His first book project places Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative in the context of a more militarized American approach to space that had emerged in the 1970s, and shows how divergent views of space militarization influenced U.S. foreign relations and public diplomacy through the end of the Cold War. In other projects he explores the development of overseas American surveillance infrastructure and its impact on U.S. relations with host nations. His work has appeared, or is forthcoming, in Diplomacy & Statecraft, Intelligence and National Security, the Oxford Handbook of Space Security, the Journal of Strategic Studies, the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, Science & Diplomacy, Diplomacy and Statecraft, and the Journal of Slavic Military Studies. Since he believes that historians have a unique role to play in informing current policy debates, he also writes about contemporary defense and space topics in policy-focused publications including the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Physics Today, and War on the Rocks. While completing his doctoral studies, Dr. Bateman held a Guggenheim predoctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Prior to graduate school, he served as a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer with assignments at the National Security Agency and the Pentagon. As a staff member at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, he supported intelligence and national security space efforts. He has also participated in international dialogues aimed at promoting stability in space.
