1928 brechen die Brüder Kermit Roosevelt und Theodore Roosevelt junior auf zu einer Expedition in den Süden Chinas. Für das Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago gehen sie auf die Jagd nach einem Großen Panda. Bis dahin ein recht rätselhaftes und unbekanntes Tier: Die Pandas zählen zu den letzten großen Säugetieren, die wissenschaftlich beschrieben wurden. Bis in die 1930er-Jahre hatten nur die wenigsten Menschen einen Großen Panda jemals lebend gesehen. Wir sprechen in der Folge darüber, wie der Panda innerhalb weniger Jahre weltbekannt und zum Nationalsymbol Chinas und Mittel der Diplomatie wurde und heute wie kein anderes Tier für Artenschutz steht. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG504: Ein Nashorn auf großer Tour – https://gadg.fm/504 - GAG440: Eine Giraffe für den König – https://gadg.fm/440 - GAG445: Alexandra David-Néel – https://gadg.fm/445 // Literatur - Nathalia Holt: The Beast in the Clouds: The Roosevelt Brothers's Deadly Quest to Find the Mythical Giant Panda, 2025. - Jiang Hong: Science, commerce, and politics: China's giant pandas going global (1869-1948), in: Journal of Modern Chinese History, 16, 2022 (https://doi.org/10.1080/17535654.2022.2147724). //Aus unserer Werbung Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Cattle flourished on the excellent grazing lands of western Dakota Territory in the 19th century. Massive herds roamed freely across the plains. Ranches began springing up in the Badlands before North Dakota was even a state. The most famous was Teddy Roosevelt's Maltese Cross Ranch but there were many more. Some folded after just a few years, while others managed to hang on and become prosperous.

One of his friends went out and found a wounded bear, tied it up to a tree and took the president out to shoot it. Teddy was completely offended by this and refused to shoot a wounded and tied up bear. When a cartoon came out about this story - Inspiration: Brooklyn candy maker Morris Michtom saw the cartoon and was inspired to create a stuffed fabric bear and called it Teddys Bear. He sold the bears in his candy shop. It became so popular that he started a toy company selling AI suggests that as of today several billion dollars have been made from the Teddy Bear. ITs all about Jesus - and he is the center of scripture… but make no mistake WE ARE THE MAIN SUBJECT!

The advantage of being an old man is that you can remember the past. This gives you a different perspective on current events. But if that old man is foolish enough to share his thoughts, the average person will smile tolerantly and pat him on his head and tell him that he is just “a lovable old dinosaur who is out-of-touch and living in the past.”Screw it. I'm going to go ahead say what I'm thinking.A few years ago, Big Data was going to change the world. Big Data came and went.Then we got excited about ideas that were “disruptive.” Slash-and-burn disruption by a bunch of young pirates was going to change everything.The Blockchain was going to change everything. You couldn't go anywhere without someone blathering about Crypto and NFT's.Now AI is going change everything. And it definitely will, for awhile.Technology saves money by reducing labor costs, which is just a fancy way of saying that technology allows you to replace people with machines. Unemployment will increase, and Trump will blame Obama.And so it goes.I had an appointment in 1977 to meet with a loan officer at First National Bank in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to borrow $1,000.The greeter at the bank sat me in a chair in the waiting room. I was 19 years old.Smart phones did not exist. My only option was to paw through the pile of old magazines on the coffee table in front of me. Can you believe that every one of those magazines was about banking? The banker puts his banking magazines on the coffee table in his lobby when he is finished reading them. And the dentist puts his dental magazines on the coffee table in his lobby. This is how the Business Titans of Smallville keep their costs under control.And they do it for our convenience.I began reading a magazine about banking and it catapulted my brain into a tumbling somersault from which I have never recovered. The feature article was about ATM's, but it didn't call them ATM's. It referred to them as automated teller machines.“The modern bank executive can now reduce his payroll significantly because these new automated teller machines work without pay 24 hours a day, and they never make mistakes.”My eyes were jacked open so wide that I was unable to blink.ATM's were not invented for our convenience! They were invented so that banks could fire 60% of their bank tellers!“These new tellers require no health insurance, no air-conditioned offices, no telephones, no sick days, and they take no vacations. Your customers will thank you for giving them the ability to make deposits and withdrawals 24 hours a day from a variety of convenient locations.”The man I saw in my mind was the banker in the old Monopoly game by Parker Brothers. The way to win the game of Monopoly is to gobble up all the things that people cannot avoid, then take everything they own when an unlucky roll of the dice puts them at your mercy. It's perfectly legal.I played Monopoly when I was young, but I don't play it anymore.Parker Brothers began selling Monopoly in 1935. But that game's origins trace back to an earlier version called “The Landlord's Game” created by Elizabeth Magie. She crafted her game back in 1904, when Teddy Roosevelt was making his mark on history by curbing the excesses of the richest and most powerful men in America.Google, Apple and Meta still play Monopoly. As do the insurance companies, the oil companies, the pharmaceutical companies and the medical corporations that control virtually all the doctors. But the version of Monopoly they play isn't sold by Parker Brothers.To win, all you have to do is gobble up the things that people cannot avoid, then take everything they own when an unlucky roll of the dice puts them at your mercy. It's perfectly legal.Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are the Republicans on

Varieties of Abundance: https://www.niskanencenter.org/abundance-varieties/PDF Version: https://www.niskanencenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Varieties-of-Abundance.pdfRealignment Newsletter: https://therealignment.substack.com/Realignment Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignmentEmail the Show: realignmentpod@gmail.comSteve Teles, Senior Fellow at the Niskanen Center, returns to The Realignment. Ahead of next week's 2025 Abundance in DC, Marshall and Steve discuss his new Niskanen Center paper on "The Varieties of Abundance." In Steve's telling, despite broad agreement within the Abundance movement on the need to increase supply, challenge existing incumbents who benefit from scarcity, and the critical role of enhanced state capacity in addressing America's challenges, there are existing and potential varieties of Abundance across the ideological and geographic spectrums. Just as the late 19th- and early 20th-century Progressive Movement held a shared critique of the industrial-era American state, different actors took the project in different directions. Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Woodrow Wilson were all progressives, but operated in separate camps. In Steve's telling, abundance is already operating accordingly. In the paper, he identifies six varieties of Abundance: Red Plenty, Cascadian Abundance, Liberal Abundance, Moderate-Abundance Synthesis, Abundance Dynamism, and Dark Abundance. The aim of the paper is not to be overly inside-baseball, but to offer readers and listeners a framework for understanding the diversity of actors, institutions, and ideologies that have positively engaged with the Abundance framework.

Michael Medved has an eye for a story, and a preternatural gift for telling it in beguiling ways.”—Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning author of Founding Brothers Has God withdrawn his special blessing from the United States? Americans ponder that painful question in troubled times, as we did during the devastation of the Civil War and after the assassinations of the '60s, and as we do in our present polarization. Yet somehow—on battlefields, across western wilderness, and in raucous convention halls—astounding events have reliably advanced America, restoring faith in the Republic's providential protection. In this provocative historical narrative, Michael Medved brings to life ten haunting tales that reveal this purposeful pattern, including: • A near-fatal carriage accident forces Lincoln's secretary of state into a canvas-and-steel neck brace that protects him from a would-be assassin's knife thrusts, allowing him two years later to acquire Alaska for the United States. • A sudden tidal wave of Russian Jewish immigration, beginning in 1881, coincides with America's rise to world leadership, fulfilling a biblical promise that those blessing Abraham's children will themselves be blessed. • Campaigning for president, Theodore Roosevelt takes a bullet in the chest, but a folded speech in his jacket pocket slows its progress and saves his life. • At the Battle of Midway, U.S. planes get lost over empty ocean and then miraculously reconnect for five minutes of dive-bombing that wrecks Japan's fleet, convincing even enemy commanders that higher powers intervened against them. • A behind-the-scenes “conspiracy of the pure of heart” by Democratic leaders forces a gravely ill FDR to replace his sitting vice president—an unstable Stalinist—with future White House great Harry Truman. These and other little-known stories build on themes of The American Miracle, Medved's bestseller about America's remarkable rise. The confident heroes and stubborn misfits in these pages shared a common faith in a master plan, which continues to unfold in our time. God's Hand on America confirms that the founders were right about America's destiny to lead and enlighten the world.

In 1912, political fervor and interest swept the country over the presidential election. President Taft sought the Republican nomination, challenged by former President Theodore Roosevelt, who unexpectedly entered the race. Senator Robert LaFollette was yet another contender for the nomination.
What made Lincoln great wasn't power or genius, it was his moral fiber. Historian and bestselling author Doris Kearns Goodwin joins Ryan to explore why Lincoln stands above the rest, how ambition can be twisted toward selfishness or greatness, and how moments of pain and principle shape true leaders.

On this edition of Parallax Views, journalist and author Daniel Lazare, author of The Frozen Republic: How the Constitution is Paralyzing Democracy, joins the show to dissect the forces behind Trumpism and the broader American political landscape. They explore why Lazare believes Trump is not a fascist, despite popular claims, and what his rise reveals about the collapse of liberal institutions. This does not, however, mean that Lazare think Trump is benign. Nor is he claiming that Trump isn't authoritarian. But the analysis can't of Trump, he argues, can't claim that the phenomena of Trumpism is alien to America. Lazare explains how the U.S. Constitution, far from being inherently protective of democracy, contains authoritarian mechanisms that have enabled the concentration of power. The conversation also delves into Trump's foreign policy, drawing parallels with Putin's consolidation of power and the revival of Teddy Roosevelt's “Big Stick” approach in a multipolar world. Lazare analyzes how neoliberal elites and cultural movements intended to strengthen their position have inadvertently fueled working-class resentment, contributing to Trump's appeal. This episode is a deep dive into the structural forces shaping contemporary American politics, the myths of “alien fascism,” and the real threats to democracy that come from within.

"...It is not the critic who counts..."This week, I am sharing a musical version of the Man in the Arena from Citizenship in a Republic, a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt in 1910 and with original music written and performed by Deidre Corson.Reflection questions:Imagine with the ending of your current campaign will look like. What joy will you feel? How can you encourage the donors and volunteers who are with you in the arena that the horizon of joy is coming?Reflection on the quote:This evening, I have the joy of celebrating the grand opening of a music school. The Executive Director of this music school had reached out to me for a one-time coaching call during a challenging season of the capital campaign. A few months later, after I released a podcast with this quote, this Executive Director sent me a musical version of the Man in the Arena.In the middle of any challenging campaign, it can seem like the sweat, blood, and failures are unending. Like this Executive Director who continued to be in the arena, fund development is making effort after effort without knowing how each effort will turn out. Yet, by pressing to the end, there is a celebration when we have invited donors and volunteers into the arena to strive with us valiantly and to dare greatly. The Man in the Arena has entered the public domain.Musical version was written with original music and performed by Deidre Corson and used by permission.What do you think? Send me a text.

Trump's global summits, Roosevelt & the Navy, Fargo's Red River Market, Lawrence Welk's legacy, Midwest surfing, and Nez Perce leaders on salmon.
Challenges mount as the expedition travels farther down the river. With the end of their journey nowhere in sight, hunger and disease take their toll on the men. Colonel Rondon wonders if members of an indigenous tribe are following them … and waiting to attack. Tensions between the men simmer, until they explode in violence. In the midst of this turmoil, Theodore Roosevelt suffers an injury that initially seems small, but could bring him to the brink of death.Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.

Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families
Theodore Roosevelt was a president, soldier, writer, explorer, and reformer who believed in action and courage. From leading the Rough Riders to breaking up corporate monopolies and creating national parks, Roosevelt reshaped the role of the presidency. Known for his big personality and bigger ideas, he helped make America a global power. This episode explores his life and the bold choices that defined his legacy.
David. Moses. Abraham. Peter. While all of these men achieved amazing things for God, they all also had shortcomings. In the same way, the great men who built this country were also flawed. There's a trend in culture right now to dismiss their heroism, and choose instead to emphasize their shortcomings. But as Theodore Roosevelt once pointed out, [quote], “far better is it to dare mighty things…than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much.” [end quote] It's not necessary to pretend that the Bible– or our nation's history– is only made up of perfect people. The fact that God can use even the most flawed men to achieve great things for His Kingdom is just the inspiring message our sons desperately need to hear.

We like to picture Theodore Roosevelt as this vigorous, energetic, hyper-manly guy. And he was. But he didn't start that way. He began as a bedridden, asthma-stricken boy in New York's East Village. He went through a lot to become the guy who led the charge up San Juan Hill and served as our 36th president.
In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt and naturalist John Muir embarked on a legendary three-day camping trip through Yosemite. Away from politics and public life, they huddled under the stars, explored the towering sequoias, and shared a vision that would change the future of America's wild places. This unforgettable meeting is often credited with sparking the modern conservation movement—leading to the expansion of national parks and permanent protection for some of our most treasured landscapes. Join us as we retrace their journey, uncover the stories behind their conversations, and explore how a few nights in the wilderness helped shape the course of American environmental history.

As Theodore Roosevelt's expedition sets off down the River of Doubt, it doesn't take long for the going to get rough. Their canoes are no match for the boiling rapids, forcing them to trek through an unforgiving jungle rife with insects, predators and disease. As their movement slows, their food supplies dwindle. Roosevelt's son Kermit takes a bold risk to speed their progress . . . but the turbulent waters deliver more peril than he bargained for.

Thank you to Jennifer Broome for being our guest and guide! Here's where you can connect with her!:sweptawaytoday.com* Instagram: @jenniferbroometravel* Facebook: JenniferBroomeTV * TikTok: @jenniferbroometravel * X (Twitter): @jenniferbroome * YouTube: Channel named “Swept Away With Jennifer Broome” Dreaming of a national park adventure this summer but dreading the notorious crowds at Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Canyon? Travel expert Jennifer Broom returns to share her insider knowledge on spectacular alternatives that offer unique summer experiences without the tourist crush.Jennifer takes us first to Grand Tetons in early June, when wildflowers carpet the landscape beneath snow-capped peaks and wildlife viewing reaches its prime - including opportunities to spot mama bears with cubs (from a safe distance, of course). She shares practical safety tips, including the "thumb rule": if you can't cover the animal with your thumb at arm's length, you're standing too close.We then journey to Isle Royale National Park, a remote paradise in Lake Superior accessible only during summer months by seaplane or ferry. Jennifer describes her personal experience hiking through fern-covered forests and enjoying the tranquility of this island wilderness. For late summer travelers, Theodore Roosevelt National Park emerges as a hidden gem, offering "Yellowstone without the crowds but blending in a little bit of Badlands." The park's wild horse population - one of few places in America to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat - provides unforgettable moments as their manes blow in the wind against painted rock landscapes.Weather preparedness becomes a recurring theme as Jennifer (a meteorologist herself) advises on packing layers for temperature swings, rain gear for afternoon thunderstorms, and essential sun protection. Her suggested road trip combining Theodore Roosevelt with Badlands National Park creates the perfect late-summer itinerary, with opportunities to explore Wind Cave and Jewel Cave for underground wonders.Beyond breathtaking scenery, these parks offer something increasingly precious: opportunities to disconnect from technology and connect with American history. As Jennifer shares from her experience visiting over 258 National Park Service units, these landscapes appear much as they did thousands of years ago, providing living history lessons spanning indigenous cultures to westward expansion.Ready to discover America's natural treasures beyond the obvious choices?

In 1913, former President Theodore Roosevelt embarked on a perilous expedition to explore one of the last unmapped rivers in the Amazon. Roosevelt was joined by his son Kermit, famed Brazilian explorer Candido Rondon, and a team of naturalists and porters. But as the party sets off on a 400 mile trek across the highlands to reach the headwaters, they discover they are woefully unprepared for the dangers that await them in the wild.Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.

Before there were finance bros, tech bros, or even frat bros… there was Teddy Roosevelt. This week, we dive into how a sickly rich kid from Manhattan reinvented himself as a rough-and-tumble cowboy, a Rough Rider, and eventually a trust-busting progressive president who helped pull America into the modern age. We break down how Teddy became the blueprint for performative masculinity (with a dash of genuine reform), his wild days wrangling cattle in the Badlands, and why he might just be the most interesting president no one really talks about enough. This is Teddy Roosevelt!

LESSONS FOR THE EMPTYING WHITE HOUSE 2028: 8/8: 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents by David Pietrusza (Author) 1920 FRANK ROOSEVELT AND JAMES COX https://www.amazon.com/1920-Year-Presidents-David-Pietrusza/dp/0786721022 The presidential election of 1920 was one of the most dramatic ever. For the only time in the nation's history, six once-and-future presidents hoped to end up in the White House: Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Theodore Roosevelt. It was an election that saw unprecedented levels of publicity -- the Republicans outspent the Democrats by 4 to 1 -- and it was the first to garner extensive newspaper and newsreel coverage. It was also the first election in which women could vote. Meanwhile, the 1920 census showed that America had become an urban nation -- automobiles, mass production, chain stores, and easy credit were transforming the economy and America was limbering up for the most spectacular decade of its history, the roaring '20s. Award-winning historian David Pietrusza's riveting new work presents a dazzling panorama of presidential personalities, ambitions, plots, and counterplots -- a picture of modern America at the crossroads.

In this episode we break rules and have guests! Dennis and Ben from the Father McKenna Center. We review the fabulous results of the Top of the T-Shirt Campaign and reflect on the generosity engagement of our listeners. Then we answer emails from Jamie, Camille and Jon. We discuss Jamie's portfolio experiments, bond allocations in a 403b, musing about changes in the reserve currency status of the US Dollar and transitioning issues.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Jamie's Portfolio Analyses: https://testfol.io/?s=jusQGGadC9PBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:What happens when a finance podcast community rallies around a worthy cause? Something extraordinary. In this special episode, we break our "no guests" rule to welcome Dennis D and Ben Hoffschneider from the Father McKenna Center, where they share the remarkable story behind our recent fundraising campaign.Dennis's journey will stop you in your tracks – from arriving at the center homeless after a 24-hour bus ride from Florida to eventually becoming its Executive Director. His powerful testimony shows how organizations like the McKenna Center transform lives daily. When our listener "Matthew63" stepped forward with a $15,000 matching challenge, none of us expected what would follow.The results left everyone speechless: $60,969.83 raised (yes, down to the penny) from approximately 100 donors across the country. This campaign now represents 4% of the center's annual budget and has become their leading donor source for the fiscal year. As we reflect on Theodore Roosevelt's famous "Man in the Arena" speech, it becomes clear who the true warriors are – those doing the daily work with limited resources to address homelessness and food insecurity.After our interview, we tackle several listener questions about portfolio construction. Jamie wonders about using VXX and SCO as bond replacements, Camille seeks guidance on holding treasury bonds in retirement accounts, and John asks about transitioning from target date funds to a more diversified approach. We close with our weekly portfolio review, noting gold's continued strong performance up 27.83% year-to-date.Want to support the Father McKenna Center's work?

In the late 1920s, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and his younger brother Kermit, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, wanted fame and glory apart from the family spotlight. They were seeking the “empty spots” on the maps, the areas that had yet to be explored and described by Westerners. From these remote places, they hoped to bring back exotic animals to aid the scientific community’s understanding of taxonomy, biological diversity, and its relatively recent theories of evolution. The animal they most wanted was an elusive black and white bear that, at the time, was more legend than scientific fact. Today’s guest is Nathalia Holit, author of “The Beast in the Clouds.” She tells the full story of this expedition into China’s Himalayan wilderness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
