Names are important symbols, and President Trump is trying to change, or change back, quite a few. There's the “Gulf of America” of course, but also the reversion of a military base from Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg, and efforts by his administration to erase the “T” in LGBT on government websites. Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Theodore Johnson discuss what names say about our cultural values, and whether renaming places again and again misses the point.Additional reading from the Washington Post:What is Fort Bragg? Hegseth restores Army base name from Fort Liberty.Park Service deletes trans references on Stonewall Inn monument pageYes, really, it's going to be called the Gulf of America.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

How did two extraordinary Black women, Willa Brown and Janet Harmon Bragg, break through aviation's racial and gender barriers in the early 20th century? Discover the inspiring story behind "American Wings: Chicago's Pioneering Black Aviators and the Race for Equality in the Sky," as we sit down with authors Sherri L. Smith and Elizabeth Wein, who meticulously documented their revolutionary achievements. Guided by special guest host Dr. Theodore Johnson, we explore the motivations and the meticulous research that brought these hidden narratives to light.Throughout our conversation, we highlight how Brown's exceptional networking skills and Bragg's financial acuity formed a formidable team, driving their aviation group to overcome substantial obstacles. The episode delves into the historical challenges faced by the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women's Air Force Service Pilots, emphasizing how community and political engagement were pivotal in fostering real change. We explore the importance of maintaining progress towards racial equity in aviation, drawing lessons from the teamwork and allyship that were crucial in breaking down barriers.Furthermore, we examine the crucial role of allyship in advancing racial equity, spotlighting historical allies like Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry Truman, who supported Black aviators. Our guests provide practical advice for modern allyship, underscoring the need to listen and engage genuinely with marginalized communities. By highlighting the stories of underrepresented pioneers and the efforts of organizations like OBAP, we aim to inspire ongoing support and recognition in the aviation industry and beyond. Join us for this enlightening discussion that reclaims and celebrates the rich, yet often overlooked, history of Black aviators.Support the show

No Coverage for Loss After Policy Cancelled In an action for declaratory judgment to determine whether the plaintiffs had a duty to defend and indemnify the defendants under certain insurance policies for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident, where the trial court granted the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. In Liberty Insurance Corporation et al. v. Theodore Johnson et al., No. AC 45933, Court of Appeals of Connecticut (December 5, 2023) the Court of Appeals resolved the dispute.FACTSThe defendants, Theodore Johnson (Theodore) and Kim Johnson (Kim), appealed from the judgment rendered by the trial court following its granting of a motion for summary judgment filed by the plaintiffs, Liberty Insurance et al and Safeco Insurance Company of Illinois (Safeco). The primary issue is duty to defend a separate action that stemmed from a motor vehicle accident in which the defendants' son, Aaron Johnson (Aaron), was driving a motor vehicle owned by Theodore when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a telephone pole, causing serious injuries to a passenger in the vehicle, Jordan Torres.At some point prior to 1:33 a.m. on December 26, 2019, Aaron left the defendants' house and operated a 1997 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro (Audi) owned by Theodore. Torres was a passenger in the Audi at the time. As Aaron attempted to navigate a curve, he lost control of the Audi, crossed into the westbound lane of traffic, and left the roadway, striking a telephone pole.Torres sustained personal injuries in the accident and sued a bar in Newington and its backer, as well as Theodore, Kim and Aaron. In the Torres action, Torres alleged that, on December 25, 2019, Aaron, a minor, consumed alcohol at the bar, after which he went to the defendants' house in Glastonbury, where he was visibly intoxicated and consumed more alcohol. Following the commencement of the Torres action, the defendants sought coverage from the plaintiffs for Torres' claims under three policies of insurance:a homeowners insurance policy issued to the defendants by Liberty Insurance (homeowners policy);an automobile insurance policy issued to the defendants by Safeco (automobile policy); andan umbrella insurance policy issued to the defendants by Liberty Mutual (umbrella policy). Thereafter, the insurer plaintiffs sued seeking a judgment declaring that the plaintiffs are not obligated to defend or indemnify the defendants with respect to Torres' action.Specifically, the insurers based that argument on an exclusion in the homeowners policy that excludes coverage for" 'bodily injury' or 'property damage' . . . arising out of (1) [t]he ownership, ... of motor vehicles ... operated by or rented or loaned to an 'insured' [motor vehicle exclusion] . . . ." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

Memorial Day honors the men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to our country. In our next podcast episode, we discuss different ways to look at patriotism. Our guest, retired US naval officer and Washington Post newspaper columnist Theodore Johnson ponders the question, “How can we take pride in a nation with a history of injustice and inequality?”   At a high school football game, Johnson, who is African-American, stood at attention when the national anthem was played. His teenage son, who was about to play in the game, took a knee in a protest against police brutality. Johnson argues that both acts were expressions of patriotism and is proud of his son's decision.   "For me, being a patriot is not about uncritical celebration and talking only about how exceptional we are and how great the country is," Johnson tells us. "Being a true patriot requires that you both love the nation and critique it." On this insightful episode of "Let's Find Common Ground", Theodore Johnson also discusses his thoughts for how America can have more productive and uplifting discussions about race.

From near-fisticuffs on the House floor to Kevin McCarthy's concessions to win the gavel, the chaotic start for the 118th Congress has finally settled – with consequences for us all.  In his bid for speakership, newly elected House speaker Kevin McCarthy made a host of promises to some of the Republican Party's most extremist members – including Qanon conspiracists and election deniers. The future of the new Congress and what led to its formation serve as a lesson for where we stand in national politics. Theodore Johnson, senior advisor for the public policy think tank New America and writer for The Bulwark, joins host Kai Wright to unpack it all in this special episode for podcast listeners.  Companion listening for this episode: The Conservative ‘Swing' Vote: Explained (11/7/2022) Trump-to-Biden voters may decide the upcoming midterms.

In a party not known for ethnic diversity, 22 Black candidates are running for Republican House seats this year. And for the first time, we could see two Black Republican senators serving simultaneously. The historically diverse lineup also includes Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans on Republican tickets for the midterms. While some Republican see a shift toward Ronald Regan's vision of the party as an inclusive "Big Tent''. But others say that the party's problematic record on race continues to keep Black voters away - even those who consider themselves conservative. Host Michel Martin talks to Theodore Johnson, a researcher, and writer whose work focuses on how race plays out in politics and policy.

Heard Tell for Thursday, March 17th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Ukraine's President Zelensky address the United States Congress and once again calling for a No Fly Zone. We break down why Zelensky is doing the right thing for his country in asking for arms and intervention, and why America and others are right to stop short of a No Fly Zone to support Ukraine. Also, we talk about the Theodore Johnson piece that brings the stats and facts that despite the rhetoric of some on the right Black voters are not only staying with the Democratic Party, but are among the most consistent voting demographics. We'll delve into why that is, what it means, and what lessons both Democrats and Republicans should take and apply. Guest Jericho Hill is back on Heard Tell, and our economist friend helps us cut through the caterwauling over gas prices and inflation to get to what is really going on, who to blame, who gets credit, and which party has the better narrative at the moment. Jericho also helps explain how uncertainty is one of the biggest factors in the current economic situation, how Ukraine is affecting the global economy, and how things like Russian oligarch money parked in sports teams and yachts change the economic calculus. Plus the story of youth caregivers, and how the situation of young people helping to care for elderly, sick, disabled, and others has always been a thing, but in modern times needs addressed, identified, and tracked to get services to those who need it most. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/heard-tell/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Ian and Nique are joined by https://www.brennancenter.org/experts/theodore-r-johnson (Theodore (Ted) Johnson) — director of the fellows program at the Brennan Center for Justice, White House Fellow, and author of “https://www.amazon.com/When-Stars-Begin-Fall/dp/0802157858 (When the Stars Begin to Fall: Overcoming Racism and Renewing the Promise of America).” Ted's upbringing mirrored the duality that animates the discussion in his new book: Ted was raised in a majority-White neighborhood but attended a majority-Black school, his father modeled a desire to “wrestle” with injustice in the world but his mother emphasized individual kindness and intellect, and his grandparents were sharecroppers in “Jim Crow” era South Carolina and yet they fiercely believed in the promise of the American Dream. This duality inspired Ted to advocate a love for America that, in his words, “chastises and then goes off and dies in wars for her.” Later, Ted shares his concern that, today, terms like “structural racism” and “critical race theory,” which originated in the academy and have very specific meanings, have been weaponized by both sides of the political aisle and used to divide Americans. He also explores why institutions like faith, family, and education have lost the trust of so many vulnerable Americans and how we can restore strong institutions that propel the uplift of a new generation. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about Ted's story and hear his words of advice for “Darryl.” Note: If you would like to see all episodes of The Invisible Men, please go to: http://www.invisible.men/ (www.invisible.men)

Join us for a virtual discussion with Theodore Johnson, who begins his book When the Stars Begin to Fall by declaring that “Racism is an existential threat to America.” Johnson argues that our society's continuing racism not only contradicts the American Promise enshrined in our Constitution that all men and women are inherently equal, but also continues to corrode our society after a quarter of a millennium. If we cannot overcome it, he says, the United States may continue as a geopolitical powerhouse, but it will fail to make good on the promise that made America unique on Earth, and gave hope to the oppressed throughout the world. Johnson makes a compelling case for a pathway to the national solidarity necessary to mitigate racism. Weaving memories of his own family's multi-generational experiences with racism, alongside strands of history, Johnson posits that a blueprint for national solidarity can be found in the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America. Understanding that racism is a structural crime of the state, he argues that overcoming it requires us to recognize that a color-conscious society―not a color-blind one―is the true fulfillment of the American Promise. Fueled by his ultimate faith in the American project, grounded in his family's longstanding optimism and his own military service, he offers an urgent call to undertake the process of overcoming what has long seemed intractable.

Diane talks with Theodore Johnson, a senior fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice and an expert in race and electoral politics.

How many times have you been the “only” in a room? Only woman? Only black person? Only Muslim? Only POC? I met Theodore Johnson, a professor in the Eastern Michigan Aviation program, at an event at Eastern Michigan University where we were the “only” in a room. This got me curious to learn about diversity in the field of aviation. Theodore has recently published an article in the Journal of Public Management and Social Policy. The title of the article is "How does the effectiveness of collegiate aviation, online marketing, and websites impact diversity and recruitment."

It's easier than we think for a black candidate to win Republican votes. According to Theodore Johnson, a fellow at New America, Republican voters can be a huge base for POC candidates—all it takes is a little change in strategy.   Hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela talk with Theodore Johnson about this and more. Plus a check-in with Tarini Parti of Buzzfeed News about recent developments with Republican candidate for senator Roy Moore.   This episode of In the Thick is brought to you by Hello Fresh.

Theodore Johnson caught our attention for his tweets about how the White House reacts to protest from black Americans. He brings an interesting perspective as a black man in the U.S. with two decades of military service under his belt—identities, he writes, that stand “toe to toe.” Johnson is a fellow at New America and a former speechwriter for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  In the Spiel, what Harvey Weinstein’s network of spies tells us about the power of legacy media.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Volatility Views 57:  Turning the Tables on Mark Sebastian Volatility Review: VIX is back this week, after it ended unchanged at 0.0 before last week's Option Block episodes. Time will tell as we see what happens in Europe. NASDAQ one- and three-month realized volatility has had almost no movement at all, but the trend is surely upward.  Volatility Viewpoint: Long-time panelist Mark Sebastian gets the chance to sit in the guest's seat and discusses what Option Pit is and the world of options education.  Mail Bag: Answering listener questions.CBOE is in the process of changing the way they list weekly options. How do you think the change will impact weekly options volatility, as well as the way they perform? Thanks again and I love the show. You guys make my commute to work a little more bearable. (Via Facebook from Chris Monty) In a time spread, which risk/opportunity should I really focus on: gamma or vega? It seems like trading time spreads is essentially finding a proper balance between these two. (Via email from Theodore Johnson, Boise, ID) I'm and expat American currently living and trading in Germany. As an old-school options trader, I've always considered myself first-and-foremost a volatility trader. I mostly view my positions and I'm always looking for interesting new products like VolContracts, VIX, etc., that will provide me with a new way to hedge/trade volatility. When I moved to Frankfurt, I was very surprised to find that most of my European colleagues don't share that perspective. They aren't up on the latest vol products/research and don't tend to view themselves as vol traders. I've found this baffling so I thought I would write to the authority on volatility to see if I am completely nuts or if this is a well-documented situation. Is vol trading, and the interest in vol products, primarily a localized American phenomenon, or am I just hanging with the wrong crowd over here? (Via email from Charles Stephens, Frankfurt, Germany) Crystal Ball: We'll have to keep an eye on Europe, but expect little change in realized volatility. There will be a break in S&P in one direction or the other.
