Byla 170 km dlouhá, místy až 100 m široká, stála přes 28 roků a zahynulo na ní asi 130 lidí. Betonový symbol studené války a komunistické tyranie. Lidé přes ni utíkali jen jedním směrem: z východu na západ, ze socialistického ráje do kapitalistické reality. Východoněmečtí pohraničníci tady své neozbrojené spoluobčany bez milosti stříleli do zad a pouštěli na ně cvičené psy. Přesto byla neustále a ze všech sil přebíhána, přelétávána i podhrabávána. Dnes je hromadou suvenýrů.

Questions form the very basis of inquiry. They can be philosophical or mundane. You've probably asked a dozen questions of yourself, already, today. In this episode, we explore the symbol of the question, itself, contemplating what questions allow us to do. A question can be an initiation, contain a secret password, or show us the map of our future quests. Without the question there is no discovery. We hope you love this episode as much as we did.

Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcMost traders spend their time searching for the next winning stock... but what if the biggest advantage isn't finding better trades—it's avoiding the bad ones? Sometimes the smartest move isn't buying more... it's knowing when to stay patient and let the market come to you.This conversation dives into how professional traders filter out market noise using breadth, order blocks, sector rotation, and disciplined risk management. Instead of reacting to every headline or chasing stocks that have already made huge moves, the discussion explains how confirmation, probabilities, and a repeatable process can help traders focus only on the highest-quality opportunities.One of the biggest lessons from this episode is that consistency beats excitement. Great traders don't need to catch every rally or predict every correction. They simply follow their plan, manage their downside, and let the statistics work over time. That's why trading psychology, patience, and proper position sizing often matter far more than finding the "perfect" setup.There's also a complete market update covering SPY, QQQ, market breadth, sector performance, order blocks, real portfolio management, active trade reviews, and practical examples of how disciplined traders adapt as conditions change instead of fighting the market.✅ SPY, QQQ, market breadth, and order block analysis✅ Sector rotation and identifying high-probability setups✅ Real portfolio updates and active trade management✅ Position sizing, risk management, and trading psychology✅ Building a repeatable process for long-term consistencyIf you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing the market instead of staying one step ahead... this episode will show why patience and discipline are often the biggest competitive advantages a trader can have.Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEClm2Inh-M&t=611sSubscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.
Es waren keine Wünsche, sondern Forderungen: Nach dem Ansturm auf die spanische Exklave Ceuta wandten sich 22 europäische Staats- und Regierungschefs mit einem Brief an die EU-Kommission. Angesichts der Lage verlangten sie eine außerordentliche Konferenz der Innenminister. Ihr Begehren wurde erfüllt: Am Dienstag tagten die Innenminister. Der Brief der 22 enthielt nicht nur Forderungen, sondern auch Kritik – und zwar an der spanischen Regierung. Allerdings gab es nicht nur eine Fassung des Schreibens. Um die Entstehungsgeschichte eines Briefes, der als Signal der Härte gegen irreguläre Migration gemeint war, dann aber zum Symbol der Uneinigkeit Europas wurde, geht es in dieser Folge von Machtwechsel.

The annual Garma Festival is Australia's largest Indigenous cultural gathering, and a key forum for conversations about social, political and environmental issues affecting First Nations people. The theme at this year's Garma festival is Bukmak [[book-muck]], which means everyone in the Yolngu language — an expression of unity and a celebration of the diversity of modern Australia. And it was the tragic death of one five-year-old little girl, Kumanjayi Little Baby in April that has become a powerful symbol of what's possible when a community comes together. - अस्ट्रेलियाको सुदूर पूर्वोत्तरमा पर्ने आर्ह्नम ल्यान्डमा हरेक वर्ष आदिवासीहरूको सबैभन्दा ठुलो सांस्कृतिक भेला आयोजना हुन्छ। साथै, फर्स्ट नेसन्स समुदायसँग सम्बन्धित सामाजिक, राजनीतिक र वातावरणीय मुद्दामाथि छलफल हुने एक महत्त्वपूर्ण मञ्चका रूपमा पनि यसलाई लिइन्छ। ३१ जुलाई देखि ३ अगस्टसम्म चलेको यस वर्षको महोत्सवको मूल नारा 'बुकमक्' रहेको छ जसको अर्थ 'सबैजना' भन्ने हुन्छ। थप रिपोर्टमा सुन्नुहोस्।हाम्रा थप अडियो प्रस्तुतिहरू पोडकास्टका रूपमा उपलब्ध छन्। यो नि:शुल्क सेवा प्रयोग गर्न तपाईंले आफ्नो नाम दर्ता गर्नु पर्दैन। पोडकास्टमा सामाग्री उपलब्ध हुनासाथ सुन्न यहाँ थिच्नुहोस्।एसबीएस नेपालीको प्रत्यक्ष प्रसारण हरेक मङ्गलवार र बिहीवार दिउँसो २ बजे SBS South Asian मा डिजिटल रेडियोमार्फत, आफ्नो टेलिभिजनको च्यानल ३०५ मा, SBS Audio एपमार्फत, SBS On Demand मा वा हाम्रो वेबसाइटबाट सुन्न सक्नुहुन्छ। साथै हामी सोसल मिडिया प्लेटफर्महरू फेसबुक, इन्स्टाग्राम र एक्स मा पनि रहेका छौं SBS Nepali का नाममा। - हाम्रा थप अडियो प्रस्तुतिहरू पोडकास्टका रूपमा उपलब्ध छन्। यो नि:शुल्क सेवा प्रयोग गर्न तपाईंले आफ्नो नाम दर्ता गर्नु पर्दैन। पोडकास्टमा सामाग्री उपलब्ध हुनासाथ सुन्न यहाँ थिच्नुहोस्।एसबीएस नेपालीको प्रत्यक्ष प्रसारण हरेक मङ्गलवार र बिहीवार दिउँसो २ बजे SBS South Asian मा डिजिटल रेडियोमार्फत, आफ्नो टेलिभिजनको च्यानल ३०५ मा, SBS Audio एपमार्फत, SBS On Demand मा वा हाम्रो वेबसाइटबाट सुन्न सक्नुहुन्छ। साथै हामी सोसल मिडिया प्लेटफर्महरू फेसबुक, इन्स्टाग्राम र एक्स मा पनि रहेका छौं SBS Nepali का नाममा।
Dnešní výročí je založeno na vžitém omylu, že šampaňské víno vynalezl v roce 1693 benediktinský mnich Dom Pérignon. Francouzský katolík z opatství Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers v kraji Champagne výrobu perlivého nápoje pouze zdokonalil a začal ho plnit do silnostěnných lahví, aby nevybuchovaly jako dosud. Šampaňské se stalo symbolem prestiže, luxusu a nakonec i země svého původu. Jak se šampaňské vyrábí? Která značka je nejoblíbenější? A co znamená termín „šampaňská hudba“?
In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and discuss how friendship with others leads us into deeper intimacy with God. We talk about our longing for both human and divine communion, how healthy friendships free us from self-preoccupation, and why learning to receive feedback is essential to our growth. We also reflect on how unmet desires in friendship are signs of our longing for the Trinity and the importance of releasing lesser goods so that we can be free to receive God's greater gifts. Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon). Journal Questions: What makes me feel at home with the Trinity? How has God invited me to be a more faithful friend? Where do I need to grow in self-awareness and be freed from self-preoccupation? What is my disposition when someone lovingly reveals my own weaknesses and shortcomings to me? How have I refused to grow? Discussion Questions: What makes you feel at home with other people? How is God inviting you into deeper communion with others? How has the Lord revealed to you your weaknesses and shortcomings? How did you receive that truth from Him? How have you given into sloth by seeking God's lesser gifts and ignoring His greater gifts? Quote to Ponder: "In a special way, Christian friendship is meant to help us grow in our relationship with the Lord, as one intimately loved by him. It is meant to give us some small experience of what it means to be at home in communion with the Holy Trinity. Only in intimacy with the Lord are we the deepest "who we are." Only in communion with him are we our truest selves." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 77) Scripture for Lectio: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

Touristisches Highlight, Kulturgut und Sehnsuchtsort: Die legendäre Route 66 wird in diesem Jahr 100 Jahre alt. Die Straße von Chicago nach Los Angeles führt durch acht Bundesstaaten. Einst war sie der Inbegriff von Freiheit und Abenteuer. Und ein Symbol für die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben, den Aufbruch nach Westen, den amerikanischen Traum.Die ehemalige US-Korrespondentin Claudia Sarre versucht im Gespräch mit Samuel Jackisch und Torben Börgers aus dem ARD-Studio Washington herauszufinden, was im Trump-Amerika noch von diesem amerikanischen Traum übrig ist.Die beiden ARD-Korrespondenten erzählen von ihren Begegnungen auf der Route 66, der sogenannten "Mutter aller Straßen". Torben sagt, auf der Fahrt bekomme man vor allem ein Gefühl für das amerikanische Durchhaltevermögen, den "American Spirit", für das Gefühl des Nie-Aufgebens und des "sich-am-eigenen-Schopfe-aus-dem-Sumpf-Ziehens, wenn es mal nicht so läuft". Die Route 66 sei "America on a Single Road", meint Samuel, das habe er auf seiner Reise sehr oft gehört. Einerseits die tolle Natur, die aufgeschlossenen, gastfreundlichen Menschen und andererseits der Niedergang, die Frustration, die Enttäuschung und häufig auch eine gewisse Melancholie und Sehnsucht nach der guten alten Zeit. Sein Resümee: auf diesem Highway bekommst du alles zu sehen: das Gute, das Schöne, das Problematische - eben das echte Amerika.Ihr habt Fragen an Jiffer und Ingo?

This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our series on Biblical Theology — The Arc of Scripture. Throughout today's passages, we see that because God's people are prone to forget, God has repeatedly given visible reminders of His promises and our relationship to Him. Baptism serves as Christ's appointed public testimony of our union with Him.Sermon notes are available on YouVersion Events.Video of the worship service is available for replay.

When no one seems to be listening, how far do you go to be heard? In December 2008, George W. Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad for a press conference. And at the very end of his remarks, a shoe came flying past his head. It was “the shoe heard around the world,” and countless jokes and memes ensued. But in the pandemonium, many missed the story of the man at the center: Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, a weary journalist trying to get the world to see the Iraq War in a different light. Even fewer people know what happened to him after. Nearly two decades later, Radiolab reporter Sarah Qari tracked Al-Zaidi down to learn the story of his life. What she found was a story about grief, anger, and the line where journalism ends and protest begins. Special thanks to Azmat Khan and Mustafa Salim.

Das Weisse Haus gilt als Symbol der US‑Demokratie, Amerikanerinnen und Amerikaner nennen es auch «the People's House», das Haus des Volkes. Doch seine Geschichte ist eng mit Unterdrückung und Zerstörung verknüpft. 1792 liess George Washington den Grundstein zum Bau des Weissen Hauses legen. Errichtet wurde das Gebäude dann von versklavten Menschen, ehe es 1814 von britischen Truppen bei der Einnahme Washingtons in Brand gesetzt wurde. Nach dem Wiederaufbau wurde es im Laufe der Jahrzehnte immer wieder umgebaut und renoviert – und spiegelte so den Charakter seiner jeweiligen Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner wider. Heute sorgt Donald Trump mit seinen zahlreichen Eingriffen am Weissen Haus für Diskussionen. Noch nie hat ein Präsident die Residenz so stark umgebaut wie er. Ursina Haller von «das Magazin» hat sich in die lange Geschichte des Weissen Hauses vertieft. In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» nimmt sie Hörerinnen und Hörer mit auf eine Tour durch das Zentrum der US-Demokratie.

Valeria Messalina entstammte dem römischen Hochadel. Mit ihrem Ehemann Claudius bestieg sie 42 nach Christi den Thron. Messalina war schön, sexuell aktiv und eine mächtige Intrigantin. Doch zum Symbol von Nymphomanie und Habgier stilisierten sie später römische Geschichtsschreiber. Die Historikerin Honor Cargill-Martin macht sie auf die Spur Messalinas, um ein anderes, geschichtlich fundiertes Bild von ihr zu erstellen.

In this week's message, Pastor Benjamin unveils Courageous Church's new logo, the meaning behind it, and what it signifies for our future.
The Moon pulls the tides of the ocean, but the question that won't let us go is simpler and stranger: what is it pulling in us? Melanie Reinhart joins me for a wide, grounded, moonlit ramble through lunar consciousness, astrology, and the body. We start with the moon as a constant companion for earthlings, a reliable rhythm of waxing and waning that can steady us when life feels politically, personally, and collectively turbulent.From there, we drop into somatic territory. We talk craniosacral therapy and the experience of “tides” in the system, from surface noise to the deeper mid tide and the long tide where time feels different. That becomes a living metaphor for the lunar path: not a heroic push to achieve, but a deepening that restores life force. We also bring in the Orphic Hymn to the Moon as an invocation practice and explore why reverence matters, not as an antique idea but as a way to relate to powers we still live inside.We get practical about moon phases too: the dark of the moon as a window for retreat, the full moon as an emotional amplifier, and how lunar timing can support better choices in work, conflict, learning, and creativity. We move into dreams as night-world digestion, why forcing interpretations can block the nourishment, and how light pollution mirrors a cultural forgetting of darkness, sleep, and imagination. If you care about the lunar cycle, dreamwork, depth psychology, the Jungian unconscious, or the roots of astrology in the night sky, this conversation is for you.*the above blurb was auto-generated by Buzzsprout's AI.Cover Artwork is The Fairy of the moon by Hermann Kaulbach (b&w) circa 1891 with a background extension from Canva.The Orphic Hymns including the one in this episode dedicated to the moon, and the invocation with Musaeus. It's the Thomas Taylor translation from 1792. Melanie's personal favourite.Find out more about Melanie and her work here. She has many great books including, famously, Chiron and the Healing Journey.Melanie reads from:Dane Rudhyar, The Lunation Cycle: A Key to the Understanding of Personality, from the section “The Pattern of the Lunation Cycle.”Rudolf Steiner, “In Pure Rays of Light” The verse appears in Esoteric Instructions (GA 264), with related commentary in an esoteric lesson of 5 December 1907 (GA 266/I).We discuss:Iain McGilchrist's book: The Master and his Emissary and associate right brain activity with the moon and left brain with Mercury.Jung, obviously, comes up a lot. I paraphrase this quotation from him.We also talk about the Tides in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. If you'd like to know more about that the work of Franklyn Sills (may he rest in peace) is a good starting point.Clearing up the confusion of the 'far side' vs the 'dark side' of the moon we go to NASA...But always appreciative to Pink Floyd for creating such confusion but also such a cracking album.Melanie also mentions the Dark Sky Movement. Such important work. Have a look at darksky.org.We also acknowledge that "mentor" is not etymologically related to Mene or taurus.

Why the Cross? – More Than a SymbolSunday, July 12, 2026Why did Jesus have to die on a cross? Why has this symbol remained central to the Christian faith for over two thousand years?In this powerful message, we discover that the cross is far more than a religious symbol, it is the greatest demonstration of God's love, the place where our sin debt was paid in full, the moment darkness was defeated, and the doorway into our new identity in Christ.Through Scripture, we explore four life-changing truths about the cross:✝️ The Cross Reveals the Love of GodEven while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The cross destroys the lie that God is distant or uncaring and declares His overwhelming love for humanity.✝️ The Cross Paid a Debt We Could Never PayAt Calvary, Jesus canceled the debt of sin, shame, guilt, and judgment. Religion says, "Try harder." The Gospel says, "Jesus paid it."✝️ The Cross Defeated the Powers of DarknessWhat looked like defeat became Heaven's greatest victory. Through the cross, Jesus triumphed over sin, death, fear, and every power of darkness.✝️ The Cross Gives Us a New IdentityBecause of Jesus, we are no longer defined by our past, failures, or shame. In Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed, and made completely new.This message also highlights the beautiful significance of water baptism, a public declaration that our old life has been buried with Christ and that we have been raised to walk in newness of life.Key Scriptures:Galatians 6:14 • Romans 5:8 • Colossians 2:13-15 • 2 Corinthians 5:17 • Romans 6:4No matter what you've done or where you've been, the cross declares:"I see you.""I know you.""I love you.""I came for you."The cross settled your value, secured your future, and purchased your victory.Corporate Declarations:Because of the cross, I am forgiven.Because of the cross, I am loved.Because of the cross, I am free.Because of the cross, I am a new creation.Because of the cross, my future belongs to God.Join us as we celebrate the life-changing power of the cross and the new life that is found in Jesus Christ.Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence • Revealing Christ

Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16One correction folded in: Labour Party (UK spelling) in file 7. I also expanded the file 9 headline's "Law Order" to "Law and Order" — flag if you wanted it left verbatim.

SCHEDULE JBS, 6-23-2026.1936Alan Greenspan's Legacy and the New Fed Chair. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. This segment reflects on the passing of Alan Greenspan and the transition to Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair. Peek highlights Warsh's goal to reform data collection and move away from forecasting, favoring real-time data over the traditional, often confusing, communication styles of his predecessors like Greenspan. 1The Resilient US Consumer and AI Infrastructure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. Despite concerns over tariffs and wars, consumer spending remains robust, fueled by record stock market levels and rising low-end wages. Peek argues against AI alarmism, noting that massive investments in AI infrastructure are creating a surge in blue-collar job demand for skilled trades like welding and construction. 2Critiquing the Memo of Understanding with Iran. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Schanzer describes the newly established Memo of Understanding as a "dog's breakfast" that grants the Iranian regime significant sanctions relief and upfront cash. He argues the agreement appears to be an American defeat, particularly regarding the shaky nuclear inspection protocols and the uncertain status of the Strait of Hormuz. 3Hezbollah's Role and the Fog of Middle East Diplomacy. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. The discussion focuses on Hezbollah as a "wholly owned subsidiary" of Iran, with the IRGC directing its activities in Lebanon. Schanzer criticizes the administration for expecting Israel to adhere to a ceasefire while Iran continues to provoke attacks, labeling the current diplomatic strategy as improvised and potentially harmful. 4Secretary Rubio's Reassurance Mission to Gulf Allies. Guest: Mary Kissel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio travels to the Gulf to reassure the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain of U.S. security commitments following Iranian attacks. Kissel criticizes the administration for granting Iran sanctions relief and 60-day exemptions, arguing that the diplomatic effort prioritizes "hope over experience" regarding Iranian nuclear ambitions. 5The Impact of Foreign Policy on Domestic Midterms. Guest: Mary Kissel. Kissel examines whether foreign policy influences American voters, noting it is rare compared to "pocketbook" issues like inflation and interest rates. She warns that adversarial regimes like Iran and China are sophisticated observers of the U.S. electoral calendar and may attempt to influence domestic politics. 6Kevin Warsh's Reformist Vision for the Federal Reserve. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg analyzes Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting, noting a shift toward shorter policy statements and the removal of the "dot plot" forecasting tool. Warsh is initiating five task forces to reform the Fed's intellectual framework, specifically targeting productivity, data quality, and balance sheet management. 7The Turmoil of British Leadership and the Labour Party. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. This segment explores the potential replacement of Keir Starmer with Andy Burnham as UK Prime Minister. Sternberg argues that Labour's struggles go beyond charisma, involving a lack of clear economic direction and the failure to address core voter concerns like the broken NHS and illegal immigration. 8The Geopolitical Chessboard of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley discusses the power struggles within Iran and the strategic card of the Strait of Hormuz. He notes that while the strait is "more or less open," the situation remains in flux, with regional players like Turkey seeking to thwart Iranian ambitions in the Mediterranean. 9Xi Jinping's Strategic Outreach to North Korea. Guest: Gregory Copley. Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang is seen as a move to reassert Chinese influence over North Korea as Kim Jong-un shifts away from communist identity. Kim is positioning himself as an equal to Xi while strengthening his ties with Russia, creating a complex ideological shift in the region. 10British Political Fragmentation and the Immigration Crisis. Guest: Gregory Copley. Britain has seen seven prime ministers in ten years due to political fragmentation over illegal immigration and European relations. Copley suggests that the Labour Party is failing to represent the British working class, which favors traditional values and stricter border controls, leading to a rise in alternative parties. 11The Crown as a Symbol of British Identity. Guest: Gregory Copley. Amidst political instability, King Charles III is viewed as a dynamic symbol of national dignity and continuity. The segment discusses the King's role in stabilizing the United Kingdom following Prime Minister Starmer's resignation and managing sensitive royal family matters to preserve the image of the monarchy. 12Recovering the Original Understanding of Unalienable Rights. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz reflects on the 2019 Commission on Unalienable Rights, which sought to ground human rights in the American founding tradition. The commission aimed to counter the "proliferating industry" of rights that often serves partisan progressive ends, emphasizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' original austere framework. 13Unalienable Rights and the Challenge of Foreign Policy. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. This segment discusses applying founding principles to modern diplomacy, specifically condemning the Chinese Communist Party's crimes against the Uyghurs. Berkowitz argues that despite economic entanglements, the United States must maintain its dedication to universal principles and use its diplomatic toolbox to address massive human rights violations. 14The Strategic Failure of the Iran Memo of Understanding. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter analyzes the Memo of Understanding, highlighting unresolved issues like the Strait of Hormuz and the $80 billion war funding request. He argues the administration is trying to make kinetic action palatable to voters while failing to secure meaningful concessions on Iran's nuclear program or its sponsorship of terrorism. 15The Republican Fissures and Potential Third-Party Movements. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. The discussion centers on Tucker Carlson's potential departure from the Republican Party over foreign policy disagreements. McCotter suggests this reflects deeper fault lines within the MAGA base, where isolationist tendencies and dissatisfaction with the administration's relationship with allies like Israel could lead to future political discord. 16
Preview for Later Today: Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley explains why King Charles III will not welcome Prince Harry back into royal duties. The King prioritizes the crown's image as a unifying symbol, protecting it from further family scandals.
Nell Irvin Painter is Edwards Professor of American History, Emerita, Princeton University. She also holds degrees in painting from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers and the Rhode Island School of Design. Painter is the author of many books including Sojourner Truth, A Life, A Symbol; Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over; I Just Keep Talking: A Life in Essays; and the New York Times bestseller The History of White People. She reflects on the origins of A History of White People and her career exploring how race is manufactured and lived along the color line. She also cautions that the race concept structures societies, but that we should always avoid the temptations of race essentialism. Painter counsels that we need to balance hope and pessimism. The Age of Trump is a calamity but this dark time will not last forever. We need to think nationally but work locally to create immediate change in our communities. And Nell Irvin Painter offers some hard-earned advice about being creative for a living, and balancing our personal and familial obligations and material realities such as paying the bills. *This conversation took place in 2024. Given Juneteenth and Trump's escalating assaults on multiracial democracy and the Black Freedom Struggle, I decided that now was the right time to share it with all of you.
The New Yorker staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Louisa Thomas join Tyler Foggatt to discuss three recent collisions of sports and politics. Cunningham and Foggatt talk about President Donald Trump's appearance at a Knicks game during the team's championship run, which evoked a mixed reception from New Yorkers and complicated an otherwise celebratory week in the city. Then Fry and Foggatt discuss the U.F.C. fight that Trump hosted on the White House lawn—in celebration of America's two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary, and his own birthday—and how it merged the aesthetics and politics of Trump's second term. Finally, Thomas joins Foggatt to discuss the World Cup and how the Administration's immigration policies, the Iran war, and America's precarious standing on the international stage are impacting one of the world's premier sports and cultural events.Listen to Critics at Large wherever you get your podcasts.This week's reading: “Fight Night at the White House,” by Naomi Fry “Will Americans Start to Care About the World Cup Now?,” by Louisa Thomas “Lessons in Fanhood from the Knicks,” by Vinson Cunningham “Can the World Cup Transcend Donald Trump?,” by Ishaan Tharoor “The World Cup and the Changing Psyche of the Haitian Diaspora,” by Doreen St. Félix “How the Moroccan World Cup Team Became a Symbol of the Global South,” by Dan Greene The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Benjamin L. Carp describes how, as the fire spread, witnesses reported that pumps and bucket handles had been sabotaged to hinder firefighting efforts. The fire consumed Trinity Church, a prominent symbol of the Crown, which some believed was a deliberate target of anti-Anglican rebels. In the ensuing chaos, British soldiers engaged in summary executions, bayoneting individuals suspected of being "incendiaries" or throwing them into the flames. One man, Wright White, was brutally hanged by his heels by enraged soldiers, serving as a grim example of the arbitrary violence and high tensions characterizing that night of destruction. (4)1776
