Declaring independence on July 2, 1776 was only the beginning. To actually become a nation, the United States needed something else: foreign allies, international recognition, and the credibility to negotiate as an equal among the world's great powers. Five days after Richard Henry Lee introduced his famous Virginia Resolution, the Continental Congress appointed a committee of five — John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Robert Morris, and Benjamin Harrison — to figure out how to achieve international recognition. The result was the Model Treaty: a document we almost never discuss today, but one that Adams considered his most important contribution to Congress and the nation. Historians Sara Georgini and Eliga Gould guide us through Adams's revolutionary blueprint for American foreign policy and how the founders understood that the United States would need to become a "treaty worthy" nation before France would take them seriously.

In this episode, Stephanie and the crew dive into the chaotic aftermath of Trump's latest diplomatic blunders, particularly regarding Iran. With Trump boasting about a new deal that seems to mirror Obama's policies, the team hilariously dissects the absurdity of his claims, including a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. They also discuss the fallout from Trump's threats during negotiations, which have left U.S. relations with allies like Italy in shambles.

The Brutality of Frontier Warfare and the Dispossession of Native Nations. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. Molly Brant, a Mohawk woman, navigated the brutal Western frontier, which served as a massive thousand-mile battlefield characterized by "scorched earth" tactics against civilians. Most Native nations allied with the British to prevent patriot expansion onto their lands. However, following the war, the British betrayed their allies in the Treaty of Paris, ceding indigenous territories to the United States without consent. The conflict led to a lasting American national myth that distanced white patriots from their native neighbors, casting indigenous people as "savages" and justifying their displacement from ancestral homelands. 31750

A version of this essay was published by firstpost at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/from-indo-pacific-to-pacific-delhi-must-prepare-for-strategic-loneliness-14024528.htmlI refer, of course, to the (in)famous newspaper headline which said, “Ford to City: Drop Dead” in 1975 when then-POTUS Gerald Ford refused to bail out New York City during a financial crisis.It appears to be the same sentiment now with POTUS Trump regarding India. The end of India's fond hopes of a strategic alliance came not with a bang, but with a whimper: the Pentagon announcement, right in the middle of the G7 conclave in France, that the US has reverted its Indo-Pacific Command to the “Pacific Command”, which had been the name before Trump changed it in 2018.What this means is clear: the US has turned its back on the Indian Ocean, on India, and on the vaunted “strategic partnership” that Indian policymakers had long assumed would be a corollary of that presumed bedrock of Indo-US relations: the mutual need to contain a rampaging China.Coming on top of the remarkable cavalierness about the murders of three Indian merchant-navy sailors, and numerous other slights, we see a pattern of indifference at best, or disdain at worst. The US is signalling that they don't need India. India, in other words, has no leverage. I am not amazed, to be honest: I wrote in 2023 that in an era of relative decline, it made sense for the US to downgrade its aspirations from sole hyperpower to first among equals: that is, a “G2 condominium” with China. This is, in principle, the same as the Vatican-brokered Treaty of Torsedillas in 1494 that divided the world into Portuguese and a Spanish spheres of influence. Interestingly, that didn't end up well for either party, but we shall let that pass. Let us connect the dots: there is a ‘Donroe Doctrine' whereby the US is asserting its hegemony in the Americas, its sphere of influence. Trump has ejected China from Venezuela, and is in the process of kicking them out of the Panama Canal zone; although the Pacific-to-Atlantic railway project in the Brazilian rainforest, and its terminus, the deep-water Port Chancay in Peru, remain.The disastrous Trump foray into Iran was predicated on denying China easy access to that country's hydrocarbons. But the MoU after 100+ days of war suggests that the US has received a bloody nose, and is withdrawing, retired hurt. The shrinking of ambitions away from the Indian Ocean as in the reversion to the ‘Pacific Command' suggests that the US is ceding the continent, including West Asia, to China.America-watchers have noticed this strange attitude to Asia before. Evan A. Feigenbaum, a former advisor to US Secretaries of State, wrote about this in 2011:For Washington, the problem is at once intellectual, strategic, and bureaucratic. Intellectually, the United States still has three separate foreign policies in Asia—one for East Asia, another for South Asia, and a third for Central Asia (which it scarcely regards as a part of Asia at all). As Asia reintegrates, then, the United States is too often stuck in an outdated mode of thinking ...Asia is being reborn, and remade. Yet, the United States is badly prepared for this momentous rebirth, which is at once stitching Asia back together and making the United States less relevant in each of Asia's constituent parts. Asians are, in various ways, passing America by, restoring ancient ties and repairing long-broken strategic and economic links.Well, this is also the end of the “pivot to Asia”, even though it was probably half-hearted at the best of times. Then-POTUS Obama started using the term in 2011, but was himself guilty of ‘awarding' “South Asia” to Chinese overlordship on a visit to that country. Now that the US is dumping its European allies, it should not be surprising, in view of the ‘Fortress America' tone of the National Security Strategy of 2025, that India is also being thrown under the bus.A US official, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said this bluntly in Delhi at the Raisina Dialog 2026: India should understand that we're not going to make the same mistakes with India that we made with China 20 years ago in terms of saying oh you know we're going to let you develop all these markets and then the next thing we know you're beating us in a lot of commercial things.Landau is right from a short-term US perspective. The US blundered, presumably taken in by Chinese propaganda, and allowed itself to be stripped of its industrial prowess. They have learned a lesson: squash potential competitors when you can. This is a back-handed compliment: it suggests that the US is aware that India can be a challenger, and make the G2 a G3. India is literally the only power that's large enough to make it to Great Power status: Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, etc. have too many problems.No incumbent power wants an insurgent power to challenge its hegemony. The so-called “Thucydides Trap” predicts that chances are that they will go to war: a kinetic war or an economic war or both. India is simultaneously facing Thucydides Traps from both the US and China, those G2 buddies. I wrote about this as an “Abhimanyu Syndrome” for India: splendid isolation. I hasten to add that though Abhimanyu died, his side did win convincingly.So it's time for India to be pragmatic, and develop its own self-reliance, both in military power and economic/trade power. The existing G2 are looking for vassals, not allies. The equation between them is also interesting. It is clear that the US is in gentle relative decline; but it does have deep resources, and can survive as a continent sized economy, even if it turns its back on the rest of the world, as it has done several times in its 250-year history. But Trump did kowtow to Xi on his May trip to China: he looked like a supplicant paying tribute to the emperor.China, if you look at its 3000-year-long history, is volatile and unstable. A pattern repeats, again and again: there are periods of prosperity and power under a strong imperial center, followed by collapse and utter chaos. An unwinding of the Chinese empire, much like the implosion of the Soviet empire, is probably only a matter of time.If you look at Indian history, the nation was mostly stable, though its prosperity invited invaders. As far back as 3000 years ago, India was the center of a lucrative Indian Ocean trade, based on Pax Indica in the region. With a deep water navy, a massive manufacturing push, and self-reliance, India can regain its past glory. Military power breeds respect from others. Economic power makes others want to trade.1100 words, 18 Jun 2026AI-generated slideshow courtesy notebookLM.google.com: This is a public episode.

President Donald Trump has signed an Iran ‘Peace Deal' Memorandum Of Understanding at the Palace of Versailles, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, the man I believe may very well be the biblical man of sin. And he did it in the exact same palace where Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 surrendering to the Allies, one of the most consequential peace documents of the modern age. You can't make this stuff up. Christian, when you see Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Iran, peace, nuclear negotiations, the Middle East, Israel, global leaders, and the Palace of Versailles all coming together in one breathtaking prophetic tableau, you had better be paying attention. Very close attention.“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, for years now, we have watched Emmanuel Macron move across the world stage with the kind of globalist ambition, European authority, Roman-flavored symbolism, and diplomatic reach that grabbed our attention way back in 2017. Macron is not just another European politician. He has repeatedly positioned himself as a mediator, a unifier, a voice for Europe, and a bridge between competing world powers. And now, he just hosted Donald Trump at Versailles as Trump signed an Iran ‘peace memorandum', whatever that actually means. Donald Trump is not the Antichrist. He does not fit the biblical profile. But Trump has been deeply connected to Middle East peace architecture since the Abraham Accords. Those accords remain, in my view, one of the most prophetically significant developments of the modern era. They may not be Daniel 9:27 in completed form, but they absolutely could be part of the platform that the Antichrist later confirms. Iran has been one of the central prophetic and geopolitical pressure points in the Middle East. A deal involving Iran, nuclear negotiations, economic relief, global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and broader regional peace is not just political news, it is prophecy come to life. Today we will attempt to plumb the depths of the man that is Emmanuel Macron, our #1 candidate for the biblical man of sin.
History is full of wars. Why? Is war driven by fear? Greed? Revenge? Ambitious leaders? Is it rooted deep in human nature—or does it emerge only under particular social conditions? And what do we learn if we change the angle from wars to non-wars? What lessons emerge from a study of all the periods and regions where war did not take place? My guest in this two-part mini-series is Douglas P. Fry, an anthropologist who has spent decades studying these questions. He is also a returning guest, and one of the first scholars ever to appear on this podcast.In Part II of our conversation, we will return to the topic of our episode from years back: the origins of war in prehistory. In this first part, however, we take a very different approach. We discuss lessons from modernity, with our topics ranging from the quest for peace after WWII to the societies in the Brazilian Amazon and Indigenous North America.What makes former enemies trust one another? What roles are played by equality, trade, or a new shared enemy? And how can cycles of fear, retaliation, and revenge be reversed without simply surrendering to aggression?At a time when war once again dominates the news, these questions could hardly be more urgent. But they also point towards a part of the human story that is too easily forgotten: our capacity not only to make war, but to understand it—and to build peace that lasts.Enjoy!FACT-CHECKINGMy wording on Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for "security guarantees" is slightly stronger than the formal language of the Budapest Memorandum, which talked of “security assurances” rather than legally binding security guarantees.If you notice a factual error in this conversation, please get in touch via Substack or the form below.

Gordon Chang and Kamran Bokhari discuss a rumored $300 billion fund for Iran as part of a memorandum of understanding. Bokhari emphasizes this is an "MOU," not a ratified treaty, and questions whether the Iranian regime will truly change its behavior or simply use the funds for regime survival. (5)
In the middle of the twentieth century, the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons seemed inevitable. The number of countries with nukes was climbing rapidly, and the idea of stopping the nuclear arms race seemed like a pipe dream. But that's exactly what happened. Over the course of 60 years, nations around the world agreed to nuclear red lines, slowdowns, and even disarmament. How did this happen? Largely because of technology. The biggest obstacle to agreeing on nuclear red lines was that adversaries couldn't trust any promise the other made. They needed to know the number of warheads, the amount of enriched uranium, or whether a nuclear device was for a weapon or a power plant. None of that was possible until we built the tech needed to verify those things. Today, we're in a similar situation with AI. For adversaries like the United States and China to agree on reasonable AI red lines on issues like bioweapons, cyber hacking, or the risk of recursive self-improvement, they first need to be able to trust each other. We urgently need to build the verification technology that would make that trust possible. In this episode, Tristan sits down with two experts in this field to discuss the kinds of verification technology we need for AI, the challenges of building it, and the world it could unlock if we do. Tim Fist is the Director of Emerging Technology Policy at the Institute for Progress, and Janet Egan is Senior Fellow and Deputy Director for the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for New American Security.

In the 299th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn is sailing the high seas around Italy on the Disney Dream, so joining Dave in the podcast is first time guest / guest co-host April Craft, aka Curated By April on Insta. A fellow travel planner at Upon a Star Travel, April is here to give her own opinions and discuss all the latest! First, April is excited about helping the clients, while Dave is happy with Toy Story Taylor (Tay Story?) CDs in the mail. Then, a look at the latest, including Disneyland changing up their Autopia cars... the breakfast buffet returning at Chefs de France... and then, an extensive look (much longer than we thought) at the Eat to the Beat line-up, highlighting artists that we know (Boyz II Men! Tiffany! Fitz!) and spotlighing those we aren't sure about (Fly Guys? The War and the Treaty? Element?) Finally, we look at the new small announcement made by Disney last week, that the new policy for parking at Disney Springs will take effect on June 28th - and how a small announcement has turned into quite a topic, mostly supportive, but also those pushing back. We chat about why we like it, how people will try to get around it, and address some of the biggest questions on it - including how Disney doesn't like to give details when making such policies.
Our dads teach us all kinds of things, whether they intended to or not. So on this Father's Day weekend, we're sharing stories of all the hilarious, heartfelt and heartbreaking lessons your dad passed down to you, that continue to show up in your life today.Trevor heads to a Winnipeg brewpub for "Beers & Braids," an event where dads get a crash-course on how to style their daughters' hair. Amongst all the mannequin heads and synthetic hair, these dads get real about the lessons from their own dads that stuck with them the most.Jada Yee is a tall, suit-wearing businessman with a wife and four kids. But when he puts on a rainbow wig and sparkly gown, he transforms into drag queen, Chyna B. Deadly. It began as a way to stand up for his kids, but it's turned into something much bigger for him and his community.For decades, Richard Bales would share stories of his late father's beloved motorcycle with his children and grandchildren, until a chance connection finally brought the bike back home…to his dining room. As a kid, Tara Weir and her dad Brad bonded over long bike rides. When she moved away from home as an adult, those moments together were harder to come by. But Tara and Brad recently reunited to take on their biggest ride yet, to a place north of the Arctic Circle, that means a lot to them.And how do you follow in your father's footsteps when your dad is the Chief? For Hayden Mercredi, lessons from his dad meant leaving school to attend high-level political meetings when he was just a kid. Trevor Mercredi, Grand Chief of Treaty 8, and his son Hayden share the lessons they're learning, and why Trevor first had mixed feelings about Hayden's political ambitions.

Transcript: https://tinyurl.com/mwz3srve Ryan L. Cole (author of The Last Adieu) and Dr. Ed Bridges (ret. Director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History) recount the 1824-1825 visit of the Marquis de Lafayette to the United States, how his 3-month plan turned into a year-long stint as “The Nation's Guest,” and the social and political context surrounding his tour. Bridges focuses on Lafayette's whirlwind tour through Alabama and how lavishly the young frontier state welcomed him. The climax of Lafayette's trip was his laying of the cornerstone for the Bunker Hill monument on June 17, 1825.

Happy Pride! It's episode 2 of the Artalogue's Pride Programming, speaking with 2SLGBTQ+ voices in Canada's art world. Today on the Artalogue, Madison Beale chats with Jake Kimble, a contemporary Dënesųłıné photographer based in Vancouver, who was recently highlighted by CBC Arts as an artist to watch! originally from Treaty 8 Territory in the North West Territories. Kimble's work moves between photography, performance, and material experimentation with a clear goal: make authenticity visible without sanding down its edges. Kimble shares their path from acting to a visual art practice shaped by breath, the body, and the idea that “life is a performance.” He shares how growing up across the Northwest Territories and other parts of Canada taught him to value freedom, privacy, and the specific places that hold memory, which now informs where he shoots the Canadian landscape in his practice. We talk about what changed through training as an artist when honest feedback pushed him away from edgy, disingenuous work that wasn't representative of their true self, and toward a self-portraiture practice that can make sense of sexuality, love, pain, and humour all at once. Kimble also explores what their two-spirit identity means to them in their life and art practice, and how breaking down normative ideas of gender have become central to their work. From there, we discuss some highlights in Kimble's over so far, such as the beaded tears that slowly obscure his face in It's All So Incredibly Loud and the cheeky brilliance of printing photographs on paper towels for the Pick It Up Quick series. We also talk about the East and West coast art scenes from both the artist side and the gallery side, career highs, burnout, and the self-care practices that make long careers possible.If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery interviews acclaimed poet Laurie D. Graham about her new book of poetry, Calling it Back to Me (McClelland & Stewart, 2026). A poet's clear-eyed witnessing of familial history, this is the most personal collection yet from two-time Trillium Book Award finalist Laurie D. Graham. In these searching, spare, and resonant poems, Laurie D. Graham traces the story of her great-grandmothers' lives before and after they left their homelands and settled on this continent, striving to understand how she came to be here and writing the act of colonization as it exists in her own family history. This collection's fractured lines, time-weathered yet alive with detail, reflect a family's knowledge broken by global immigration and memory loss, both individual and collective. The result is a courageous reckoning with the legacy of leaving home.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery interviews acclaimed poet Laurie D. Graham about her new book of poetry, Calling it Back to Me (McClelland & Stewart, 2026). A poet's clear-eyed witnessing of familial history, this is the most personal collection yet from two-time Trillium Book Award finalist Laurie D. Graham. In these searching, spare, and resonant poems, Laurie D. Graham traces the story of her great-grandmothers' lives before and after they left their homelands and settled on this continent, striving to understand how she came to be here and writing the act of colonization as it exists in her own family history. This collection's fractured lines, time-weathered yet alive with detail, reflect a family's knowledge broken by global immigration and memory loss, both individual and collective. The result is a courageous reckoning with the legacy of leaving home.

Photo: Bear Butte State Park in Meade County, S.D. (Courtesy S.D. Department of Tourism) All nine tribes located in South Dakota are unifying in their call to return the public, federal lands in the Black Hills to tribal entities. Each tribe passed a resolution calling on Congress to act. SDPB's C.J. Keene reports. Treaty rights mandate the Black Hills belong to tribes, although that treaty was broken long ago. The most important detail in this new legislative push is the focus on public, federal lands. Put simply, places where people do not live. Valeriah Big Eagle is the director of He Sapa initiatives for Rapid City, S.D.-based nonprofit NDN Collective. She says this is not about private homes in the Black Hills. “That's the myth, that's the misunderstanding. When they're talking about landback in the Black Hills and we're talking about the federal public land, essentially that is the lands that nobody is living on. It's the federal, public lands so we can protect it from extractive activities.” Regardless of outcome, advocates say the inclusion of all South Dakota's tribes is a historic statement of tribal unity. Joseph Brings Plenty is a tribal council representative from Eagle Butte. He says tribes have government-signed and guaranteed rights. “That's something that needs to be remembered – the treaties still exist. That's why we stand on this. For the United States to uphold their end of the bargain.” Brings Plenty says it is a chance for Native peoples to have a meaningful say in the management of the Black Hills. With that, Brings Plenty says healing can happen. “That's a step forward, a positive step forward. The Black Hills are not for sale. I mean, it's not just in a Lakota or Indian sense. We all want clean water, we all want the air to be clear, we all want housing and grandchildren. We all want a life. The more and more, as is inevitable, the cultures mesh, I think this is all important. Why lose it?” This comes on the heels of a mining effort near the Black Hills sacred site of Pe'Sla, that was ultimately defeated in court following widespread opposition from the Indigenous community. Fruit-bearing trees and shrubs line a soon-to-be park near Metlakatla's boat harbor. The plants are part of the village's Community Food Forest Project. (Photo: Hunter Morrison / KRBD) For many communities in rural Alaska, accessing fresh fruit can be challenging. Most of it is shipped in from out of state, and often loses flavor and more along the way. But a program in Metlakatla, on Alaska's only Native reservation, is looking to change that. As KRBD's Hunter Morrison reports, it's one way the small village is trying to combat food insecurity. Near Metlakatla's boat harbor, Gatgyeda Haayk, the village’s Community Garden Champion, strolls past a row of shrubs and small trees, which rustle with the wind. “And then those two down on the end, I believe, are cherry.” The soon-to-be budding cherry trees, planted last year, were brought to the village as part of its Community Food Forest Project. The initiative incorporates fruit-bearing trees and bushes into the village's public landscapes. So far, Haayk says about 50 plants have taken root around town. “In like the next three years, we hope to be able to give fruit back to the community.” The program comes after Metlakatla's tribal council passed a resolution a few years back that required all beautification efforts in the community to be edible. Not long after, the village received a three-year grant from the U.S. Forest Service to fund the project. She says the project has primarily worked with apple trees, but they have also planted plum and nectarine trees. The initiative also deals with plants native to the region, like raspberries, gooseberries, and saskatoon berries. And increasing access to fresh fruit is important, because it is so limited in the village. There is just one grocery store on the island, and the vast majority of the produce comes from out of state. “I am hoping that the community utilizes this, and then it also inspires other communities to kind of do the same thing, so that we don’t have to rely on the Lower 48 so heavily on our food.” While most of the program’s trees and bushes are still young, Haayk is focused on educating the village about the project. She noted that once the plants begin to bloom, community members can harvest the fruit free of charge — with the exception of the village’s main community garden. “It’s astounding how much food gets wasted, and it’s really a shame, because that’s a lot of energy that goes into that little piece of food.

In this episode of the Daughters of the Moon Podcast, we welcome Spencer Delisle for a deep exploration into the nature of the human mind, emotions, and breath as a gateway to inner reset and awareness.We explore what it means to “defrag” the human system—like a spring cleaning for consciousness—releasing emotional resistance, understanding the laws of the mind, and observing how we exist within our own patterns of thought, feeling, and perception. Spencer shares insights into mental and emotional resets, and how awareness becomes the turning point for transformation.Together, we dive into the ancient science of breath, including Kriya practices, and how breathwork supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and a deeper sense of inner stability. The conversation weaves together science, spirituality, and lived experience to illuminate how mind, body, and breath are intimately connected.At its core, this episode is about simplicity and return: breath as anchor, awareness as doorway, and presence as the reset code for life itself.
Katja Hoyer is a German-British historian who has made a career out of explaining Germany to the world—and, just as importantly, to Germans themselves. Born in East Germany in 1985 and now based in Britain, she has written acclaimed histories of the German Empire, the GDR, and most recently the Weimar Republic. Tyler and Katja discuss why communism made East Germans more loyal to the system while it bred dissidents in Poland and Hungary, how happy or unhappy life in the GDR actually was, Tyler's own bleak day-trip to East Berlin in 1984, the underrated literature of the GDR (Christa Wolf, Brigitte Reimann), whether Good Bye, Lenin! got the era right, why it's no coincidence that Richter and Polke came from the East, the strange coexistence of communist prudishness and Germany's nudist culture, what Merkel's East German background did and didn't give her as a chancellor, why East Germans remain dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions today, what makes Weimar the cultural and spiritual heart of Germany, why relatively few Jews ever settled there, how much the citizens of Weimar knew about Buchenwald, what actually killed the Weimar Constitution, how she'd rewrite the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler's citizenship problem, underrated German thinkers, the complacency behind Germany's current economic decline, which side of the Weißwurstäquator she'd choose to live on, and much more.

STORY of AMERICA
The thirteen colonies that became the United States were just half of the British colonies that existed in the 18th century. The empire stretched from New England, south to Georgia and Florida and the islands of the West Indies, east to India, Scotland, and Ireland, and south again to British forts on the West coast of Africa. Because of this, the revolution of 1776 wasn’t isolated to the North American eastern seaboard. It was a world-historical crisis that swept up American Indian nations, Caribbean islands, West African forts, Indian cities, Scottish drawing rooms, German principalities, Cuban harbors, Chinese trading houses, and a fledgling colony in Sierra Leone. The result is a Revolution that was on the one hand a political struggle for the 13 colonies, but it was also a genuinely global catastrophe in which Indigenous nations, enslaved Africans, German soldiers, French philosophes, Caribbean planters, Indian merchants, and Spanish generals all fought for their own competing visions of what "freedom" actually meant. Today’s guest is Sarah Pearsall, author of Freedom Round the Globe. We see how the fight for liberty went far outside the borders of the American colonies. When the British Parliament imposed the Stamp Act in 1765, the protests and violent crowd actions that erupted were not confined to Boston or Virginia, they broke out with equal fury in St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, and other Caribbean colonies. But they chose to stay loyal because they feared slave uprisings more than they resented Parliament. The French alliance that saved American independence at Yorktown drove France itself toward bankruptcy and revolution. And there were at least two would-be fourteenth colonies (British Florida and Quebec) courted by Americans but believed their fortunes were better served in other places than the Revolution. The Revolution was not a contained colonial rebellion. It was a world war, and the Treaty of Paris in 1783 settled the claims of dozens of nations, most of whom had nothing to do with the thirteen colonies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(4) Timothy Ryback describes how, during the fall campaign of 1932, Hitler pioneers the use of an airplane to reach "heartland Germany," visiting up to six locations daily. This allows him to bypass a government radio ban and reach rural voters untouched by mainstream Berlin politicians. He frequently mocks Alfred Hugenberg, a powerful media magnate who controlled thousands of newspapers and was the one figure wealthy and conservative enough to challenge him. Despite Hitler's empty but emotionally resonant rhetoric attacking the Treaty of Versailles, his momentum falters. By the November 6 election, the Nazis suffer a stunning blow, losing two million votes.1945

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, Kim speaks with Gary Gerstle, best-selling author of The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order and ten other books. Kim said that after reading this book, she began to feel that when it comes to economic policy, we really have a one-party system. The architect of the New Deal Order was FDR, a Democrat, but its general contractor was Eisenhower, arguably the most progressive of all American presidents. The architect of the Neoliberal order was Reagan, but its general contractor was Clinton. Kim also said that reading this book made her realize that, time and again throughout her career, she thought she was working towards progressive ends, not understanding how neoliberalism had taken hold of the Democratic Party. Gerstle explains that “the phrase political order is meant to connote a constellation of ideologies, policies, and constituencies that shape American politics in ways that endure beyond the two-, four-, and six-year election cycles. In the last hundred years, America has had two political orders: the New Deal order that arose in the 1930s and 1940s, crested in the 1950s and 1960s, and fell in the 1970s; and the neoliberal order that arose in the 1970s and 1980s, crested in the 1990s and 2000s, and fell in the 2010s At the heart of each of these two political orders stood a distinctive program of political economy. The New Deal order was founded on the conviction that capitalism left to its own devices spelled economic disaster. It had to be managed by a strong central state able to govern the economic system in the public interest. The neoliberal order, by contrast, was grounded in the belief that market forces had to be liberated from government regulatory controls that were stymying growth, innovation, and freedom. The architects of the neoliberal order set out in the 1980s and 1990s to dismantle everything that the New Deal order had built across its forty-year span. Now it, too, is being dismantled. Alarmingly, there seems to be no coherent policy around whatever it is replacing the Neoliberal order–just a mad grab for wealth, leading to even greater disparities than those that led to the Gilded Age's excesses and to the Great Depression. Guest Background: Gary Gerstle is Paul Mellon Professor of American History Emeritus and Paul Mellon Director of Research at the University of Cambridge. He is the author and editor of more than ten books, including two prizewinners, American Crucible (2017) and Liberty and Coercion (2015). He is a Guardian columnist and has also written for the Atlantic Monthly, the New Statesman, Dissent, The Nation, and Die Zeit, among others. He frequently appears on BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service, ITV 4, Talking Politics, and NPR.
