WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore moderated a conversation with 34th Ward Alderman William Conway during the Lincoln Forum Luncheon at the Union League Club in downtown Chicago and in this week's episode, we hear that conversation about a wide range of topics including some breaking news about Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago School Board.
Railway Age's 2025 Railroader of the Year is CSX President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Hinrichs, who joined the railroad industry in September 2022 and in a little more than two years has made immediate and long-term positive impacts. His collaborative approach to labor relations—for example, CSX being the first Class I to offer paid sick leave and forge preliminary agreements with its unions prior to the start of national bargaining—has gone a long way toward transforming the dynamic between management and rail labor from adversarial distrust to engaged problem-solving. Hinrichs firmly believes that for CSX to fully realize its growth potential, labor and management must function as one team, with mutual respect and trust. He knows that change is difficult, but he also knows it's necessary. And as a long-time railroad customer in his prior role as President of Ford Motor Company, he knows the importance of providing good service. CSX's overall excellent performance is a testament to that. Joe Hinrichs—only the third CSX executive to be named Railroader of the Year (he was preceded by Michael Ward in 2009 and Hays Watkins in 1984)—will be presented with the award at the traditional dinner hosted by the Western Railway Club at the Union League Club of Chicago on March 11, 2025. He sat down with Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono at CSX's Jacksonville, Fla., headquarters for this interview.
Barbara McQuade, NBC and MSNBC legal analyst, University of Michigan law professor, #SistersInLaw podcast co-host, and author of "Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America," talks to Joan Esposito ahead of her October 21 appearance at the Union League Club of Chicago. "We do have to agree on facts so that we can argue of what our policy preferences are. And I think those who want to defeat the concept of truth or facts just want to muddy the waters so much that we lose our agency in decision making, McQuade told Esposito.

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
Was Abraham Lincoln a racist? Were his efforts at emancipation the mere cold calculations of a politician whose sole aim was to win the Civil War, or do they point to some deeper ideals of America's first principles? Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Lincoln historian Dr. Allen C.

Show Notes and Transcript Diana West returns to Hearts of Oak to discuss a shocking Rasmussen poll which found that two-thirds of American voters are worried that their country is turning into a police state. The poll was carried out last month and 72% of those surveyed were concerned that the US was becoming tyrannical, with a government that is engaged in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination and the targeting of political opponents. Even more incredible is that a whopping 67% of Democrats agreed with these concerns. This is a step change on American opinion and shows the deep mistrust of the government from both Republican and Democrat voters. Diana also gives us some insights on why she thinks a majority of those polled also believe that “The FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans”. We also discuss Trump and then turn our attention to the plight of the J6'rs and the outrageous jail terms being handed out.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Diana West. It is wonderful to have you back with us. Thank you so much for your time today. (Diana West) Oh, it's wonderful to be back with you, Peter. Thank you. And of course, people can find you @RealDianaWest on Gab, and DianaWest.net is the website. People can look at either of those for your regular updates. And today, of course, a lot happening stateside, and we had, I think, Colonel Allen West on, probably about a week or two ago, looking at some aspects, more or less looking at the Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives a year on what's happened. But today we want to look on, is America becoming a police state? And this is a Rasmussen poll that you had sent over, which is fascinating reading. It gives an insight into those in the, U.S. and how they see things happen. And it is this here, looking at a police state. And the first question was, a police state is a tyrannical government that engages in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination, and targeting of legal opponents. How concerned are you that America is becoming a police state? We can see overall 72 percent of the public said yes, they believe that America is becoming a tyrannical government that engages in mass surveillance with, you can see there in the poll, 67% of Democrats, 72% of Republicans, and 76% of GOP. Basically, we have a majority of the US public believing that is the case. So tell me about this poll, what you thought as a US citizen when you read that two-thirds of America do believe that their country is becoming a surveillance state? This, can I just preface my remarks by saying this is a surreal conversation, that we are having this conversation. I'm still trying to get used to this. I suppose, you know, my flippant comment would be, oh, they've been reading my stuff. No, no, this I think in some ways the most shocking aspect of the poll where there's the shock that the United States is becoming a police state. There's the shock that this is a poll question that is asked in very kind of, solemn or, you know, practical terms, very unexciting, just a poll question. Now, is the United States become a police state? Then such a large number, even including Democrats who generally lag on these things. And to find a consensus is good, as terrible. Terrible that it reflects the reality that I do believe we are in a police state, a new kind of police state, let us say, but also that it is a recognition by the public, as Rasmussen has polled them, that is not dependent on the mainstream media, on most, if not all, pretty much government officials, the academy, any sorts of institutions. This is alternate media, this is believe in your lying eyes, and it's also word of mouth. And so maybe there's a positive development in the sense that we're all coming on to the same page, but it's also the realization that our institutions, our leadership is part of that police state in terms of suppressing the truth. Could you see the Democrats, kind of we end up looking at them as a block, but in one way we see looking at the Republican side as split between MAGA wanting something different, wanting America first and the traditional establishment Republican, but then kind of you put it together and it is a uni party in effect. So it was intriguing that one, as you pointed out, the Democrat voters actually saw this. They've got a Democrat politician in the White House. how could they vote for someone and then accept that restriction? Well, it's... It doesn't, the Democrat side of this poll actually doesn't match other polls that I would say run parallel to this one. There was recently a real clear politics poll on freedom of speech. And this sort of reflected a little bit more of what I commonly see or what one commonly sees when Republicans and Democrats are pulled separately on these questions. Republicans tend to believe far more ardently in the importance of freedom of speech, whereas Democrats tend to believe speech should be regulated by the government, which is something we are seeing happening. In terms of the Rasmussen poll, that's a question I really can't answer unless there is just so much widespread disaffection and embarrassment at what is put forward as American leadership. I mean, you know me, Peter, I've been saying since 2020 that America underwent a coup in 2020. A rolling coup d'etat that went on from 2016 with the advent of candidate Trump to 2020 when they removed him from his second term. So this of course would be an embarrassment. The leadership here. As everything I've studied tells me, is in effect a puppet of some other forces. We know not exactly what. So yes, maybe Democrats as well are noticing the embarrassment of being forced to to submit to a demented man connected to corruption and treason as has been revealed over these years as well. So maybe they're just as embarrassed as anyone else and that is what was reflected in this poll and stricken it's not just a matter of embarrassment it's it's a deep we are We're all stricken here. And suffering. We're suffering the consequences. Again, in terms of American leadership, we have none. Just look at all of the indicators. We have what is referred to as the border crisis. It's not a crisis, it's a war. We have endless onslaughts at this point, as I'm sure you and your viewers are well aware, and suffering yourselves. We are now having this incredible uptick of illegal immigration invasion at our southern border, our northern border as well, but the southern border, of course, is much more extreme. And the people running this government, let's say, are making every provision to keep this going, to provide for these people. To wreck our cities and communities with more and more and more. And indeed, it's at the point now where you had a Democrat in New York City, Mayor Adams, actually say immigration is going to ruin this city. Well, it already has, but it's incredible when these people actually step out for a moment anyway and acknowledge reality. So we are in a crisis at so many levels, it's really hard to know how to even put it all together in this, just in terms of of cogent conversation. It's really a hot mess at this point. Well, I wanna pick you up more on what Adams said, the mayor of New York, because that was intriguing. I was there a few weeks ago, and that, I guess, division within the Democrats, some of them waking up to the reality, is intriguing. Here's a picture that Rasmussen put up on their Twitter account just recently. And the whole issue of Biden himself. This shows him having a video call, I guess, with world leaders, probably in the mid of the plandemic, the COVID nonsense and not wanting to socialize himself. Obviously no one else in the room, in case they all died of this horrendous epidemic. But what about Biden himself? are Americans wakening up to his failure of leadership. And his inability, I guess, to lead America on the world stage? Well, I guess it depends who you talk to, because again, if he is a puppet in the White House, he's being controlled by some other forces. Those who actually support him or support his agenda will still defend it. I mean, you have liberal columnists, for example, like David Brooks or people like that, who talk about this wonderful economy or this wonderful candidate for a second term. It's a surreal experience when you actually see people supporting it. But as far as what Americans are waking up to, it's... We are not in normal times. And so therefore the political mechanisms that we normally look to for change or for redress or for continuity are broken. And so whatever it is that Americans are waking up to in terms of realizing how much trouble we're in, and again at every level, I think what is to people that I talk to, and I'm not talking to to a lot of Biden supporters. But I think there is this growing realization that we are in a rather helpless state. There's this sense that there's this election taking shape and these candidates trotting before us, including President Trump, who's having an extraordinary set of appearances, whereby he is received like a Messiah in many of these. I mean, I'm not trying to be blasphemous, but there is something incredible about the outpouring to this figure, this one man. But I think there's also this realization that what happened last time was never fixed, and I refer to 2020, and we still have all of these pitfalls, these handicaps on a free election, to put it mildly. And so it's almost like the whole thing is sort of a reality show that you unwittingly get sucked into, kind of cheering along or participating in, or thinking, gee, maybe we all could vote really again. But then you have this realization that this is all very alternate reality time. And so it's a really strange time in America. It's very dark time, I'm afraid to say. And where it leads, what conditions we'll be looking at next year come election time, I couldn't even possibly tell you. I just don't think it's going to be good. So that's kind of where things are as far as I see them. Because on one side, you've got people that believe in the electoral system, which is vast majority of us up until recently. And of course, in the UK, most of Europe, it is a paper ballot system. I know in the US, you've gone full flank into having a system that can be tweaked and changed. And corrupted at the flick of a switch, at the flick of a computer code. But you're right, to my side, very little has changed. And I worry about those who push in the thought that actually the election can change things where the system you're relying on hasn't changed. Am I missing something here? No, no, and I think it may be something deep in human nature that is just difficult to accept the the terminus of a system of a democratic system the realization that yes, they will they will tell Rasmus and yeah I'm afraid we're going to be a police state or we are a police state. But then we can vote we can vote and and there is this. It may just be a inability to look into an abyss and really see what's happening. So it is a difficult time and people do get sucked in and emotionally it's almost as if they need to. We've gone through so much battering, all of us, going back certainly within the last three years starting with the whole COVID plandemic, the complete fraudulent shutdown of life as we knew it. And given the powers that were on display for that in concert, in absolute synchronicity all around the world that were able to affect the shutdown of our rights, of our businesses, of our lives, of our schools, of our children, all the rest of it, that still hangs over us. And so it's very much connected with what happened in electoral politics, to be sure. So maybe people are starting to understand it, but as with this amazing, shocking, overwhelming immigration crisis, alien invasion crisis, you can come to a realization and yet... It's too late. It's too late. What can you do? The fix or the pushback or the fight is so much more difficult when you've been lulled into or somehow paralyzed into inaction. And you know. Speaking of the Republican Congress, and I'm sure what Allen West was saying, my brother was saying, they've done nothing. They've had wonderful, wonderful hearings. And I've come to call them a chat show. Congress is a chat show. They have great guests. They, you know, come back next week and nothing happens. Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida had a fantastic kind of rant about this with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business this weekend where he made this case, she was really applauding what had been done by under Kevin McCarthy, the speaker, and Matt Gaetz was making the case, the reality, that nothing has been done. And let's just look at what the Republicans in charge could do. They could impeach, they can defund, they can even bring in the absolutely criminal judges of the D.C. Circuit who have been flouting and abandoning and abusing due process in all of the January 6 cases, which we haven't spoken of yet, but I know you're interested in that, that have come before the bench. They could bring them in and talk to them. They could impeach them. They could impeach the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Mayorkas, who is overseeing our border invasion. They've done nothing. So it's, again, this feeling of helplessness when all of your institutions have essentially fallen or perhaps imploded from within and you didn't notice it. No, we'll get on the J6. The whole issue with with Gaetz and the Freedom Caucus is intriguing, certainly for me here in the UK. We don't have any Freedom Caucus in the Conservative Party, as we have in the UK. So I love the way you have that element holding the Republican Party to account. Tell us more about, because we've seen the conversations on the debt ceiling, but it goes much wider than that, and Matt Gaetz seems to have held his nerve along with that block and holding McCarthy to account. Tell us more about that. Well, they've been pushing, certainly pushing him and trying to hold him to account, but again, the power of the House is quite profound. You know, when you talk about, is America a police state? Well, a police state cannot function if the three branches of government, which are supposed to be co-equal, our executive, our legislative, and our congressional branch, judiciary, I'm sorry, judicial, executive, and law-making branches are supposed to be all co-equal. And of course, over the past century, we've essentially seen our presidency, the executive branch pretty much turned into a king, a kind of a king. And we've seen the House, or the Congress, House and Senate, we've seen them fall into, again, this chat show, certainly when the Republicans are in control. And so the fact that we are in this terrible place has a lot to do with the failure of Republicans in the House going back at least, I mean, you can, we can go through a history lesson, but I would say at least in the last 10 years, certainly from the Obama years to these years, the House has been empowered at very key points in our history during with the Obamacare period, around when the House and the Republicans came back, won historic victory in 2014 on the heel, something like the Freedom Caucus, but the Tea Party movement. And then kicked us all in the teeth by doing nothing, doing nothing. And then, you know, forward here, we get to the same kind of place where they are. They are putting forward a line and certainly the Freedom Caucus is extremely helpful in honing that line and keeping that sounding much more MAGA or much more, I would frankly say, constitutional and traditional. But again, there is no execution of House powers that do anything to balance or prevent the police state situation we're in from taking hold. And so that is really, it kind of neutralizes really the good that the Freedom Caucus could do because the bulk of the party and the leadership of the party is still holding a line, still backstopping, essentially, the left. And that's just reality. So it is, again, a uniparty with a very loud and noisy Freedom Caucus, which makes us all feel good. But, you know, Gaetz was right. Nothing has been done that could be done, according to their constitutional responsibility. Oath. Actually the curious thing is this the 70% believing that America is a police state, they're not getting that from the mainstream media, talk to us about how they are being informed because that goes against everything that has been pushed out. Right well I think if all of say, the Trump, Biden, et cetera had happened in 2010, let's say, instead of 2020, I don't think people would think we were in a police state. I think we would have been fooled lock, stock and barrel and people might've thought, hey, we should have had some recounts. But I really think where we were 10, 12, 15 years ago was a very different place. We've been through a lot. We've been through a lot. And certainly the COVID plandemic was a major education for everyone. but what it did, because a lot of people have seen through that, through personal experience. I think what it did was cause a lot of people to say, well, hey, if the government can lie to us about a, quote, virus, which may or may not exist, and lock us down and destroy our world, and lying about it, and still are lying about it, even as we're experiencing a die-off that is going to approach genocidal levels before we're done, I'm afraid, what else they lie about us? And you go back and you start seeing, I'm just talking about my own experience, but I know it's mirrored in other people, you start looking at the 9-11 narrative again, you start looking at the JFK narrative again, and for me, because I study these things too, it does track back to the Pearl Harbor narrative as well. And so you start realizing, you know, Gulf of Tonkin in the Vietnam War narrative, you start realizing the extent to which the United States government, the Central Intelligence Agency. All other institutions connected, including the press, have been on board in terms of creating these crises to control us, to change our system as they fancy it. It has made people at this point, I think, much more awake. Then, of course, this summer, we went through a crisis that was barely covered in the media, which is a common thread for all of these things, terrible media coverage, of course, or propaganda, and so on. The fire that destroyed the city of Lahaina on the island of Maui in Hawaii. People don't believe the government narrative that global warming caused that fire. And people are still wondering where are all the children? Why did a wildfire do this? Why did the government of Lahaina not sound the alarm, not allow water to be used, keep people in the city? All of these shocking measures before you even get to the ignition of the fire itself. But people are smarter now and more savvy. I think that's why you get to that large number in the Rasmussen poll. We've been through a lot. And there's also this sense that I think Donald Trump was such an interrupter of the 2020, what was it, Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, dictatorship, tyranny plan when he came on the scene in 2016, that they really had to go for it in ways that are far cruder and far more visible to us than they would have had Hillary Clinton come in in 2016. We would not be in this terrible crisis in a way. I think things would be much, we would have gone much more smoother and smoothly into oblivion and digital slavery and all the rest of it. But I think that this has been such a, you know, bumptious era and such a, you know, just bomb-popping era because they were not expecting Trump to come along. What did Trump do? Trump in 2016 awakened the dead part of America. Dead. It was gone. The MAGA people, people who'd given up on the system and were downtrodden. Can I tell you a quick anecdote? I have a friend who was a very established and celebrated news photographer, in the swamp at one of the major metropolitan dailies of the country. And he was out with Trump in 2016. He was out again in 2020. And I remember him saying to me that in 2016, he was shooting these rallies that Trump was going to all over, including the Rust Belt and everywhere else around the country, that the people coming out to see him, many, many thousands of people were down and out, looked terrible, poor, sad, sacks. When he went out again in 2020, they were, even after COVID, they were good looking, they were proud, they were outspoken, they were successful looking. He said it was the most amazing change. That's what Trump did. He awakened the American people who had been utterly disenfranchised by the Uniparty in Washington. And that's why they've had to be so extreme and crazy and aggressive in their consolidation of power. And I think the end game is messier and more violent as a result of it. But it's just where we are. I remember being a CPAC in March and being near the front block, I'm watching Trump's speech an hour and a half along with a prior smoldering speech. And I had never seen him in person, never seen him speak. There's nothing like it. That energy, that drive, that passion, that vision. It's not a, I'm a politician and here are my 10 point plan. It's something which actually connects with you within and drives you. And it's something that's basically not on the British scene at all. And that's why I loved being there and just being part of that and watching him. Well, it really was quite a phenomenon and, you know, where we are now is, you know, we're in such a, we're in such a difficult place. But it's heartening on the one side because he was a leader, you know, he is a very much a charismatic megafauna to use the term from natural history, but he was able to do such, a profound thing for America in just giving people a voice. And it turned out that's the American voice. And I do believe that in 2020, he won a historic landslide, the likes of which we'd never seen in American history. And that is what was stolen from us. It's not just him. It's stolen from him, but it is stolen from the people. And that is what this ruling clack, has complete and utter contempt for, and that is why they're so cruel. They're so cruel and dehumanizing, and it's the kind of people that can take you to a transhumanist place. They could hardly be worse in terms of where they rank on a humanity scale. And I think we see that, again, more clearly than we would have had the same kind of mechanism happened 10 years earlier because we are experienced now and we've been through it and we see it. Which is why the battle for Trump winning in 24 is even more difficult. I want to bring you on to the second question on the Rasmussen poll. Do you agree or disagree with this statement, the FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law abiding Americans? I think for 36 of Democrats agree, 45% of Independents agree, and 65% of Republicans agree, which is 50%. So in that you have 50% of Americans agreeing that the FBI is a danger. That's quite a change. What has kind of pushed the American people to that realization? One-third of Democrats, two-thirds of Republicans, 50% overall, that the FBI is a threat to them? Well, I would say it's not a threat, it's the enemy of. And it became the federal police force that actually J. Edgar Hoover, the famous and much maligned, you know, famous 20th century director, feared that it would become and worked very hard to prevent it from becoming a federal police force. Because in this guise, it has become, it has taken on the guise of dictatorship polices, polices, that sounds like a funny, police forces, stormtroopers. And you can, all you have to do to know that I'm not just exaggerating, is look at the footage of the endless assaults on the homes of people who could very easily, be asked to appear at the police station to be arraigned. They have gone into, this started it started during the Trump years. And, you know, he is, President Trump is to blame for appointing Christopher Wray, a complete swamp creature, to be the director of the FBI. But it began during the Trump years with some extremely like military style assaults on the homes of various Trump people who were coming under arrest, whether it was Paul Manafort, Roger Stone. I think it was something like, gosh, it was dozens of SWAT officers in full tactical gear, including helicopters. And in the case of Roger Stone, it was frog men, because he happens to live near a body of water, coming to arrest him, this man who comes to the door in a t-shirt and shorts in the middle of the night. You know, it's absolutely a demonstration of raw, naked aggression against the American people. And this has been started, you know, with one or two cases. and now it is the norm for people in the political opposition movements. And this would certainly include many of the January 6th protesters who have been arrested for the protest on January 6th. These are non-violent, non-criminal, no one with records kind of thing, ordinary citizens being assaulted by the FBI in their homes with their families and their wives, et cetera, to be arrested and you look at that a few times and you think, oh, that's a danger. That's certainly a danger to our rights. And then you also understand the surveillance, the new surveillance. Normal procedures, which once upon a time would have been brought them into court for violation of our Fourth Amendment rights against illegal surveillance, search and seizure. It is now de rigueur to do something called geofencing, which has to do with surveilling a person through their phone and other media devices to see where they're going, what they're doing, their banking, their other habits. This is absolutely normal and again, it goes back about 10 12 years, When we learned from Edward Snowden. We learned it from Edward Snowden that all of our data was being sucked up by the federal government and logged into massive, I don't know what they are massive, uh online clouds all over the country or out West in these giant places, this is completely unconstitutional and director at the time of national intelligence Clapper perjured himself telling Congress that this was not happening. But of course Congress never actually recommended that he be indicted and he was never indicted and prosecuted. Another great moment in congressional history and judicial history, but this is where we are, where our rights have been taken from us and I think people understand that and when you have no rights and you have a SS-style federal police force arresting political opponents of the regime that took power in 2020, you go, yes, ergo sum, police state. Yeah. Tell us about the J6, because we've had Jake Lang on a number of times with Brandon Straka on recently. And of course, we've seen a 22-month imprisonment for the leader of Proud Boys who wasn't even there. And yet the media by and large think this is normal for someone to be jailed for something. They weren't even there whenever the so-called offence happens. What is happening with that conversation? Is it becoming more public, the frustration, or is it just something that's accepted because people have believed the lie that this was an insurrection. Well. I'd like to see some recent Rasmus and polling on that. I think that there is a great understanding, after especially after some of the video footage came out on the Tucker Carlson show, early in the summer or last spring. I can't remember exactly when it was it was spring or summer, And people saw that these great big boogeymen that were depicted to us with all kinds of Hollywood stylings actually were walking quite peacefully through the Capitol. And many people had never even seen that. And that started to really have a change of opinion, I do believe. In terms of, again, the FBI and the police state question, I think it very much figures into the discovery and revelations, which again, are not covered in a widespread fashion, but do seem to be getting out thanks to some intrepid reporters like Joseph Haneman at Epoch Times, Julie Kelly, and some others who are doing wonderful work and the work of the defense attorneys as well, who have revealed that there were federal agents answering to the FBI and other bodies present at the Capitol, leading or exhorting the protesters on to either violence or violent acts or entry into areas they ordinarily would not have gone into. And this has been documented to a point where even the groups such as Proud Boys, you mentioned when Enrique Tarrio getting the 22 year sentence, not being there, he was in a hotel room in Baltimore at the time, The Proud Boys were infiltrated by federal assets. The Oath Keepers, another one of these groups who were there to provide security for speakers and others who had been attacked at these kinds of rallies by Antifa, who's fine, they don't get any sorts of indictments, or Black Lives Matter, same, they too were infiltrated by federal informants. And so this, again, is part of the FBI picture that people are responding to, and the police state notion. We have political, politics has been effectively outlawed in the United States. We are essentially this, they are trying to consolidate a one party state with its, you know, Republican acolytes just for cover and for interesting chat show material. But they are essentially outlawing political opposition to a point where opposition groups are infiltrated and then falsely or entrapped into conspiracies. We saw that with the so-called Fed-napping, kidnapping, federal kidnapping of a plot against Michigan Governor Whitmer, which turned out to be a complete FBI-arranged entrapment. And we're starting to see some restitution in the courts on that. Oh gosh, I had a second one that also... Oh, oh, the, well, I'm sorry, go on, you had a question. No, no, I just wanted to ask about the whole Ray Epps thing, because you've got seemingly individuals, part of the intelligence service, part of the FBI, who are moving the situation along. And they seem to get a slap on the wrist where people who were not even there get 22 years. It seems absolutely ludicrous. And zero pushback from the media. Well, it does. And this is the problem when you have such a, you know, such a sublant, submissive media or compliant media. But yes, Ray Epps is highly regarded, widely regarded even before January 6 as a federal asset. The night before he was exhorting people to be sure and go into the Capitol. And he was actually kind of razzed by the crowd. It's on video as a Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed. People are pointing to him saying, don't go in the Capitol, he's a Fed. So there was suspicion about him from the start, but of course, yes, he recently was charged with one misdemeanour, very rare. There may not be maybe more than one other of his poor defendants who came up with such a small charge, but given that he was doing what other people who've been slapped with much harsher charges and sentences, It's extremely suspicious. There's also the problem, which is not covered adequately in the media, of the federal government concocting evidence and planting it. And this is something that was established in court by the lawyers for Jeremy Brown, who was a former Special Forces veteran that the FBI tried to recruit as an informant before January 6. He refused. He was there. He's part of the Oathkeeper Group or had a relationship with the Oathkeeper Group. And essentially, nine months later, he was arrested and charged with having had explosives, a grenade, at the Capitol. But long story short, that grenade had no DNA from Jeremy Brown. And had DNA from a woman on it. It was planted in his van. And then there was also with the Proud boys, there was literally a document that was supposed to show they had a plan for insurrection that has been shown to have been essentially pushed into Enrique Tarrio's phone through a very strange chain of custody. Again, this kind of thing is not unusual, and you see the feds, creating this as an event, a la the Reichstag fire of yore in Nazi Germany, where it was a created event, to cause all kinds of political repercussions, and the destruction of political opposition, same thing here. So this must be getting out there because people have such a strong reaction on that police state question. But certainly it's proof, you know, it's evidence and the media hushes it up, but somehow you can find out about it and you, you know, people need to find out about it because it's truly shocking. And that's why this is now known as as the Fed-surrection. Oh, completely. I mean, they're... Let's end off on another Rasmussen poll that they had put up and there are so many aspects to this. But this was a poll they put up just days ago. 56% of likely voters think the cheating, and I love that word that they're willing to use, will affect the 2024 election according to Rasmussen poll survey. Do you think that's changed since 2020 and if so what's changed since 2020 that will make your outcome different? 56% across the board, this is again across the board, it's not Republican, Democrat, 56% think that cheating affected the election. What does that mean for you for a U.S. citizen going forward looking ahead for, actually it's just a year away, just over a year away, for the next elections. How does that inspire you? How does that influence you? How does that encourage you to, I guess, engage with that political process? Well, it's very discouraging, and again, it gives you the feeling that you're participating in somebody else's reality show, and there's that sense that I won't be manipulated, but it's kind of almost a tribal right. You want to be, you want to participate, and you want to believe that it's an election. I don't believe in the election. I believe in miracles, so I suppose I will hold out the hope for a miracle, but at this point, we are post-election, post-electoral, post-democratic. We are existing under an illegitimate regime and I don't think that that has necessarily become widely understood. People still rail against Democrats or rail against Biden for this or that. This is a junta. You know, this happens in many other countries. It's happened all over the world. It was not supposed to happen here, but it did. And part of the success of this coup, is in the fact that it is censored and suppressed. 100%. Diana, there are lots we could discuss and I appreciate you coming on and sharing, certainly with our main UK audience, with the War Room Posse, who will obviously know this issue well. Just to finish off, I guess as a journalist, as someone who observes what's happening and tries to inform the public. What is your take on a lot of what you've seen? I mean you put out a strong line that America has to return to some of those roots of integrity, of election integrity, of media integrity, but how do you see that looking forward and what kind of is your key message, I guess, that you bring to the American people through your many writings over the following year? Well, now that's the hardest question of all. I think that we are—this is not a joke, you know, where we are. And I think that at this point, it's very important to take care of yourself and your family and be prepared for the storm. Because I don't think this ends well. That's not the normal uplifting message, but I do think people are taking this more seriously. We are at a point where our government is aggressively killing us and destroying our country. So it really is a time for a miracle. It's time for a miracle. 100%. To the viewers, we first had Diana on to discussing her book, which is 10 years old now, actually, American Betrayal, the secret assault on our nation's character, and just something aside as we finish that is an intriguing insight into the change of American society through the influence and onslaught of communism from the USSR and how that developed over time. So I'd encourage our viewers and listeners to get hold of that for something maybe fairly different from the conversation we've had, but I think it's essential to understand what has happened historically and then understanding that, being equipped with that information, I think we can better look forward to what we face ahead of us. Diana, thank you so much for joining us. People can find you @RealDianaWest obviously on gab and dianawest.net online. Thank you for sharing your insights on this huge topic which you know I'm certainly watching eagerly although I have no participation in the US election coming up in a year but we certainly look to you across the pond as hope politically, economically, militarily. Journalistically, maybe that's gone out the window, but we still look to you. So thank you so much for coming on today and sharing that. Well, thank you, Peter. It's always a pleasure to speak with you.

Eric Metaxas. Book- While Time Remains: A North Korean Defector's Search for Freedom in America by Yeonmi Park Yeonmi Park: While Time Remains https://youtu.be/kKQQU03Mr3Y Socrates in the City 72.8K subscribers 97,430 views Premiered Apr 25, 2023 North Korean defector Yeonmi Park joins Socrates in the City host Eric Metaxas to discuss her latest book WHILE TIME REMAINS. In this uniquely sobering SITC interview, Ms. Park details her early years: foraging for plants and eating bugs to stay alive in "Socialist Paradise," her family's involvement in the black market, escaping to China and being sold into slavery, and seeking freedom in South Korea by way of the Gobi Desert. The conversation then moves to Yeonmi's time studying at Columbia University in New York City. With insight from her time spent in a dictatorship filled with indoctrination, censorship, and mob rule, Park speaks to the current American landscape. The interview took place on March 30th, 2023 — 16 years to the day of her escape from North Korea in 2007 — at the Union League Club in New York City.

About the Book While Time Remains: A North Korean Defector's Search for Freedom in America by Yeonmi Park. February 14, 2023 NATIONAL BESTSELLER The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart. After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats. In While Time Remains, Park highlights the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently. Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it.

We have all been watching the events in the US unfold over the last week regarding the indictment of President Trump. It is an honour to have award-winning journalist and author Diana West join us again to take a clear look at the madness. We all know the the left hate Trump and everything he stands for with a passion but what has transpired over the last few days really takes this fear and loathing of him up several notches, the charges the Democrat led legal system have brought against him seem flimsy and weak. There does not seem to be any smoking gun or legal failure that will take Trump down, yet the Democrats continue this legal charade which seems to only unite the Republican party and Trumps core base even more, join us for Diana's expert analysis. Diana West is an award-winning journalist and the author of The Red Thread: A Search for Ideological Drivers Inside the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character and The Death of the Grown-Up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization.

TRANSCRIPT [0:22] Hello, Hearts of Oak, and thank you for joining us for another interview. Coming up with Diana West. Obviously, we're looking at what is happening in the States with President Trump being indicted, being in New York and then coming back to Mar-a-Lago for that speech, which I watched. And Diana West, obviously as a US citizen, having her finger on the pulse is the perfect person to try and explain some of the madness of what is happening stateside. So we just go through and she shares her thoughts on what she has seen, the judicial system. [0:55] The politicization of that, the media, the lack of response, how the Democrats' hatred of Trump, which we know all too well, and how this will play and how it's galvanized, I think, Trump's support amongst the Republican base. Because there is a distinction between Republican support for Trump and all those rinos and it's been intriguing watching the rinos come out in support of Trump. The Romneys, the John Bolton's, so many have come out in support of Trump. So I know you will enjoy listening to Diana as much as I enjoyed speaking with her. And hello Hearts of Oak and it's absolutely wonderful to have Diana West back with us again. Diana thank you so much for joining us. Well it's wonderful to be back with you Peter. Great to be back and your country is seen crazy times at the moment. I will get into that looking at the indictment of President Trump is at the end for America and everything is happening around that. Obviously the viewers can follow you on Gab @RealDianaWest and dianawest.net is your website. They can follow everything you are doing there. Now I think the first, I watched the Wednesday morning when I watched the Trump speech, watched the plane flying to New York. [2:20] I think probably that was Tuesday evening. But I mean, my thoughts were, if you're gonna take the former president or current president out, your case needs to be shocking. It needs to be absolutely overwhelming. And watching it, it kind of seems to be quite underwhelming. In what's been put forward. But can I ask you, what are your thoughts as an American watching what has been unfolding? Well first of all this is it's a black day for America because this is [2:55] not any sort of a legitimate prosecution. This is a political persecution and prosecution of the opposition leader at a time when, and you and I have talked about this before, America is in a post-coup period. We had a coup d'état between November 3rd, 2020 and January 6th, 2021. And so right now, the government that governs us, frankly, we don't know who's governing us because we have a puppet in the White House, and we have effectively some kind of a, what we might think of now as some sort of a junta, that has gone out to arrest the opposition leader. And I think that one of the most striking comments on these events comes from the president of El Salvador, El Salvador in Central America, who said, imagine if this happened to a leading opposition presidential candidate here in El Salvador. There would be all manner of cries of banana republic, junta power, strongman politics, and all the rest of it. That's the American position, the state of America today. [4:10] There don't seem to be any new facts on the table. And I know President Trump talked about others looking at this case. If you look at some of the issues on the table taking aside the, this is taking out the opposition candidate, putting that aside. And what they brought, it doesn't seem to be anything ground-breaking, there's no smoking gun. It just seems to be the same old stuff. [4:37] Right. That is true. I mean, in terms of a legal case, it is, I'm not a lawyer, but legal experts are looking at this as a junk case, which is the point. But I think also interesting to your viewers would be the notion that campaign violations, campaign finance violations happen periodically to all manner of politicians and they generally are treated as a fine. Witness Hillary Clinton, who had a similar kind of discrepancy in her campaign finance forms related to her payment for the Steele dossier, which was a disguised payment. And she was fined, I think it was $8,000. That's kind of the level that we're operating at. Obviously, this has been exploited and exploded and exaggerated in order to make this kind of a political display which ties right into the next presidential campaign cycle. Believe me, if Donald Trump were enjoying retirement and simply, he's 76 years old, I mean, remember that. If he were simply playing golf and playing with his grandchildren, I tend to think this would not be happening, but he has not taken himself out of the ring. [5:53] And I think that this is what he gets. This is what he's had to deal with in different forms since he first emerged as the presidential candidate going back to 2016 or 2015 even. This is the treatment that he has received because I think if we step back and we look at this first from the vantage point of Central America as what happens in dictatorships, But then stepping back to even farther, when we look at where Trump 2016 [6:26] actually stands in terms of the whole globalist project, the project toward world governance, the project away from democracy, away from individual freedom and so on. He was the great interrupter. And I saw such an interesting clip from George Soros circa 2009 today. I'd never seen it before. You know, we used to look at some of these experts, if you wanna call Soros an expert, but people, leading figures in finance or politics, least I did, and sort of think they were giving you their assessment of things, as if they were thinking independently or didn't have already a plan. And as I watched Soros in 2009 explain that, well, the American economy is going to stay weakened, the American dollar, we have to see that the American dollar is weakened, China will be the driver of that, and will emerge as the leading economy. This was kind of his spiel back in 2009. And you realize all throughout Barack Obama's two terms, this was certainly happening. [7:29] It was going to continue happening under Hillary Clinton, and then you have this great interrupter. And so he's not only a great interrupter of American politics, he is a great interrupter of the globalist project. And I think that it's good to remember that in terms of trying to understand why, as you say, you know, warmed over charges are things that have already been looked at and dismissed political machinations, why we're getting this now. And it's, he remains an interrupter, even after everything that's happened, he remains this very potent force and they just can't let it go. And the other thing to remember for your British and European viewers is also, this repudiation of Trump was a repudiation of the American people, because the American people voted for him in 2020. And so when it's not simply targeting Trump the person, it's targeting the entire American political process. We are disenfranchised officially, and now we're actually seeing the man I consider to be president in exile, now president possibly in incarceration going forward. So it's a terrible time in America. [8:45] Explain to us how, for those of us across the pond, over the UK and Europe. Is it simply that any attorney general of any state can simply bring charges against Trump? Is it because some of the businesses are based in New York? I mean, is it simply that the attorney general here, Alvin Bragg, just has utter hatred of Trump and he's the one who's willing to do this? Well, that's a good question. And I don't wanna be ignorant about what attorneys general can do in different states against national figures, figures that have connections to the state, residency in the state at a time when charges could be brought. I think that's true. I think that's true. It's the kind of thing that certainly doesn't happen. This is unprecedented in American history to see criminal charges pressed against a president. It's this particular case is something that is kind of a hybrid case because there are federal aspects of it knit into these state charges. But the important thing to remember is that someone like Alvin Bragg is an elected official. He's an elected Democrat official. [10:00] And for example, when you see Congress now talking about, oh, we're going to investigate Alvin Bragg, that is actually a way for them to do absolutely nothing because what jurisdiction could Congress, our federal representatives in Washington, have over a state elected official in New York, what they are really doing, in my view, is avoiding exercising the powers that they do have in this same political legal process. And that is specifically related to what we may be seeing happen to Trump. [10:33] And that will be in the area of federal charges. We're not out of the woods. He's not out of the woods in terms of perhaps getting charged by the Justice Department related to various cases that are open against him. And the Justice Department is under the jurisdiction of the Congress. There's oversight of the Justice Department, oversight responsibilities that our elected representatives are supposed to be actually carrying out, specifically the prosecutions and also the judges. We have federal judges now who may be sitting over Trump in the future, in the near future even, who have been using their judgeships to strip away due process and create new precedents, all related to the January 6th prosecutions, which have been ongoing. And the dragnet is increasing. They're vowing to bring in a thousand more of these nonviolent, often generally misdemeanour charges against Americans who were there to protest the election steal on January 6, 2021. In that bench, this federal bench of DC, you have judges that have created this new precedent for incarcerating pretrial defendants, defendants who have [12:01] not come to have now been incarcerated for over two years in absolutely gulag-like conditions, in DC and elsewhere in this country, in penal institutions, experiencing torture, literally experiencing beatings, abuse, deprivation, and these are non-violent defendants, these are non-violent charges, these are often just misdemeanour charges. And what the reason I'm bringing this up is that this is a place Congress has jurisdiction and is punting, just absolutely not doing anything about it. And this is also a place where all these presidents have been created, I fear, to execute against [12:45] President Trump. And if he, this is something that we have, this is the other crazy thing that I'd like you to know, Peter, is that this whole story in many, many ways is considered an alternative media story. And I don't mean the President Trump arraignment, which was a media circus, but in terms of [13:05] what has come out about the federal involvement in January 6th, the assets, provocateurs, informants from the federal and other governmental agencies, including DC Metro Police, that were involved in either getting, worming their way into the confidence of certain defendants and their defence team circles, or actually inciting and leading violent and lawless abuse of the law on January 6th. There's video, new video of Metro police actually exhorting people to break through police lines, climb scaffolding, things like that. This was very much a frame up in so many ways as we're learning. Judges have been making this kind of information, which is part of the discovery process, not available to defendants. They've been, again, leaving them to rot in these gulag-like conditions. And Congress has done nothing about this. So when I hear them now ranting and railing about Alvin Bragg, to me that is a complete act of misdirection. Where are they in terms of calling out this political persecution out for what it is? Nowhere. [14:19] And so, you know, this is sort of why we are in such a compounded, dark place and have been. You know, this is not something to look at as a discrete news event. This is a consolidation of the seizure of power that took place going back to the last presidential election. Yeah, we've had Jake Lang on and I was shocked. I had no idea the situation with so many people being held without trial and everyone should have the right to due process. And it seems those individuals have not, simply because the Democrats have decided that. So I was blown away by the situation. It's shocking. It's shocking. And again, it's an alternative media story or if you talk to individual defendants, it's absolutely suppressed. But meanwhile, they've been creating this new set of rules that could very well, maybe they were created in the first place knowing that someday the dragnet would include President Trump. I wouldn't put it past any of them. But it's also important to know that a lot of these same people are very much part and parcel of the democratic machine, including, for example, the U.S. attorney of the District of Columbia, a man named Matthew Graves, who in 2020 was on the domestic policy committee of the Biden-Harris campaign. [15:40] So this is the kind of people sitting, It's not against the rules or the lot for this to be the case, of course, but it's just showing where these people are coming from. [15:53] There's no recusal when there are tremendous political affinities that are part of a background, including, for example, the judge who will be sitting in judgment of President Trump. His own daughter is deeply embedded in democratic politics to the point of working for Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff as well, who was the congressional representative who led the impeachments against President Trump. Nobody sits and says, oh, well, maybe I'm a little, you know, there might be the appearance of impropriety. If I were to sit in judgment, I should recuse myself for someone who has less partisan ties, for example. It doesn't happen. It's, it's, that doesn't happen in political persecutions. And you know, where do you, where do you go for historical precedent? I mean, I go from everywhere from the French Revolution to certainly show trials that took place in the Soviet Union for this kind of [16:53] punishment of opposition. It's not merely making sure people obey the law. It's about punishing people for the way they think and for having the temerity of exercising their First Amendment rights in so many of these cases. So that is kind of where we are. We are, you know, post-constitutional. We are post-democratic. It's just a terrible thing to wake up to, but there also seems to be very little realization of just how these different events knit together. And it's really important to see them, I think, in a continuum. With the legal system so politicized, certainly I from a student of politics from very far away from the US have never seen such a level of politicization in the judicial system, in the legal system. And that absolute division, I mean, [17:57] Trump divides people like no other. You either love him or you hate him and we see that absolute hate in the Democrats that they're not interested in right or wrong, they're simply interested in the hatred of Trump. Where does that leave, I guess that begins to become apparent to the American people despite the failure of the media to report fairly. But I mean, yeah, talk to us, through that politicization of the legal system. Well, it's a very interesting subject you raise, this politicization. And I think that to really understand it, we have to go back, gosh, it's probably about 100 years, to Pavlov's dog. Pavlov was the very important Soviet, well, Russian to Soviet scientist who did all the experimentation on conditioned response. [18:55] And he very famously, you know, most people think of his dog who was conditioned to salivate, first for a piece of nice meat, but then you could take the meat away and you could create the salivation with, I think he used a red light to create the same thing. And what a lot of people don't know is he did experiments on people as well and the learned response is something that has unfortunately, tragically, entered into our world of politics and media. And certainly beginning with, in the most dangerous ways, going via totalitarian states. And certainly we get to, for example, the Chinese revolution that brought Mao to power, we get the term brainwashing. Brainwashing, when I was growing up, I thought brainwashing was sort of a cartoon term that it was not a real thing, but it actually was this washing of the brain, this creating these responses, these conditioned responses. [20:01] And in China, this was done by repetition, by these groups and communes that would preach over and over again the same messaging. And you would face ostracism and so on if you did not adhere. And then now the reason I'm going through this is it's not at all, I'm not exaggerating. I'm talking about what has come into our politics in all the democracies really, but in the Trump example, [20:29] this has been, the divisiveness is part of this learned response. And in terms of the acceptance of our current regime, I will never forget on election night in 2020, watching the coverage and seeing as things were, or maybe the next day, as things were starting to look very murky in terms of the outcome and what had happened and the various accounts of different kinds, many, many different kinds of fraud that were becoming quite clear. You started hearing the exact same phrase in every written and spoken news story. And it was the phrase was something like unfounded claims of election fraud, unfounded claims of election fraud. This started before anyone had even finished counting anything. And so I bring that up just because we are all victimized, I do believe, by this conditioned reflex regime that just became so commonly used to manipulate [21:31] people. So in terms of the divisiveness of Trump, I think that that was another one of the conditioned response operations, if you will. Certainly it's used all across politics in many different ways. But if your question was, where do we go from there? Or, I'm sorry, I lost your actual question as I was trying to lay the groundwork for something. Yeah, just with that massive division, you've got a problem in society. If you have institutions siding with one side, it takes away the whole pretence of democracy, I guess. [22:08] Well, yes, but I would take it a step further because we are not in a normal time. And I would say that it's not a matter of the institution siding with one side or another. I think our institutions have been seized from within. I mean, I think we're looking at a very, you know, [22:26] a different kind of long march through the institutions than the kind that we would look at again, you know, in China, for example, where you see a revolution, you see it take shape, you know, you watch it and you know what's going on and they have red stars on their shoulders, right, so you know what's going on. The revolution that took place in America is one that is that is at least we can we can certainly date it a hundred years, or date it 90 years for sure since the Franklin Roosevelt administration, but it has been a revolution from within. It has been a Frankfurt school revolution. It has involved the seizure of all these institutions. Everything had to be in a line to get to 2020. Everything had to work. The courts had to be gone. Both political parties had to be subverted. The education, on and on through all of this. So this is a very long, a long war that is now in this particular, perhaps, end stage. So it's not so much that the institutions are to one side, it's that the institutions were seized. I mean that's how I look at it. It's just not politics as usual, I guess is what I'm trying to say. [23:39] 100%. I mean watching the man himself, Donald Trump, watched his speech, confidence, bravado. And I had the absolute privilege to see him speak at CPAC, being at the front there and being in a pre-event beforehand with a smaller group with him. And I was blown away by the show. You see the showmanship on TV, but that absolute confidence. And it is, I guess, also arrogant. But that leadership, that's what you need to actually lead people, to stand for what you believe with, to portray those values and take a country with you and he has all of that and I'm kind of wondering what the Democrats, want to do with this. They know who they're up against and they know his strength of character and they know the widespread support that he has and I'm wondering whether they've kind of overplayed their hand because I can only see this emboldening Trump. [24:47] Yeah, it does. I think you're right about that. I think that It's hard to imagine that they wouldn't know, the reaction this would have and you know It's sort of another level of nefariousness if that's the case because it may be that what they're really trying to do is embolden all of us to a point where they can bring a hammer down on you know in different ways, It's a really strange thing to be in the country and have this feeling of occupation. [25:25] Is that the right word? Of alienation from the institutions, alienation from these law enforcement agencies, fear of them. It's a very strange thing. You look back at history and we see takeovers. We see tanks rolling. We see, this has been such a different process. So yes, he's emboldened. He is, I think, certainly one of the most remarkable men of destiny that we've seen in our lifetime. And he stacks up against many others in history, love him or hate him. He is this remarkable, irrepressible man. [26:06] He is a man, people forget. He's a man, he's a human being, he's 76 years old. It's an amazing thing what he was subjected to for running for president, for being elected, for actually trying to govern. I mean, I think a lot of other people would have withered away at this point and gone happily into a retirement situation. So yes, it is, you're correct that the impact is what you would think would be backfiring, And yet, do we have a system at this point where the people's will can even be translated into political power? And my cynical, I don't even think it's cynical, but just having experienced the last few years, I don't have that confidence to say the least. I don't think we have any expectation that voting in 2024 is going to mean something if our candidate is not the chosen candidate. And that is kind of really how bad things are in America at this point. We have a 2020 election that was never, never addressed. We did not have the audit that was required, for anyone to have any confidence in the American political system. [27:30] So 2024 is going to be better? It doesn't make any sense. But look what happened in 2020. Every institution on the right walked away from it. Everyone, every foundation, every party, everything, they walked away and said, oh, we're going to take care of election integrity going forward. It's kind of ridiculous. But it's not ridiculous. It's sinister. [27:56] Obviously you expect Trump's core base within the Republican Party, but watching Mitt Romney. [28:05] Watching John Bolton, watching a whole plethora of rinos actually come out and speak up, watching Pence come out, I find that intriguing. Tell me what your thoughts were on this galvanization of the Republican Party. Oh, it's just, it's excruciating. They are such, they are such losers. And they're, you know, I don't know what the best historical parallel, I'll have to think about it for a minute, but they are about as inspiring, you know, as a soggy piece of Wonder Bread. I mean, it's ridiculous, but they are what is, it's kind of like, I often think of politics and media, to be honest, and historians and so on. There are certain ones who operate inside the circus ring, and they can play with certain balls and certain dancing bears, and that's all very much fun. But actually, everything that's important is outside the circus ring. And if you go outside the circus ring, that's when you get zapped by this deep, dark state of whatever you want to call the powers that be. And certainly all those men you just mentioned are all exactly circus ring dancing bears. And so they can do whatever they want, but it's meaningless. They're impotent and they're embarrassing. [29:27] But yet they're putting their public support, now privately it may be hugely different, but that galvanization of the Republican Party makes, obviously the Democrats have thought through this. That's what I can't quite work out. have thought through the scenarios, And yet it's coming back to hit them so quickly. In terms of Trump's resurging support? Yes, within the Republican Party, that there is anger at what's been happening at a former president being indicted. And those who traditionally were not for Trump suddenly are saying, actually, this is wrong, at least publicly. It's interesting that kind of coalition that is coming together only because of the stupidity of the Democrats? Well, if Trump is so enmeshed in this legal fiasco. [30:27] Which again can also include other charges in other jurisdictions like the federal jurisdiction, it could be that they just are banking on the fact that Trump will not be around for whatever reason. I mean, they will somehow take him out. And so then they become the brand. And frankly, it's also, I think, nobody wants Trump supporters in the Republican Party. That part of the Republican Party wants nothing to do with Trump supporters, nothing to do with MAGA. And in fact, historically speaking, the Trump supporters, the MAGA people of today, have been previously purged from Republican polite society in the past. This is not a new development in American politics. The sort of traditional right, the American first type, very sort of heart of oak and heart, you know, the yeoman type American has long been unwelcome [31:34] in Republican party circles that could be represented by a Mike Pence or a Romney. And so in some ways, maybe that's also what this is about. The branding continues and the uni-party, because they do represent what we could also call, not just rinos, but the uni-party, the party in charge of things, is just perfectly happy to be in the minority, or not be in power, but part of the process. And so I think maybe that's kind of what drives them. I mean, it's certainly a conundrum, But I think those sorts of factors do play into some of what we're watching. It's again, looking from the UK, this seems to be all about hush money and hush money NDAs. They're fairly common in business across the board. So once again, I'm scratching my head thinking, is this your smoking gun? Is this it? And they seem, the AG seem to say that, well, there could be other charges, but if the charges are not there, then you can't really defend yourself. And there seems to be utter confusion from their side. [32:50] Right, right. But in terms of the political accomplishment, the media accomplishment, it doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, you could, again, go back to the January 6th cases. The charges are ridiculous. [33:03] The charges are exaggerations. There have been people who've been literally had on their indictment the crime of going like this to a police, I mean, like raising your finger to a policeman or putting on a Trump hat on a statue, this becomes a crime that ruins your life and makes your business close and your wife divorce you. I mean, literally, that's what's going on. These are all pretexts. If you're looking for legal gravity or legal answers, you're not going to find them because, again, that's what a political prosecution is. Back to Stalin's show trials or some of these other exercises in simply eradicating the opposition. That's what this is. And it's Trump, it's the people who would support him. At this point, I mean, think of the chilling effect that these prosecutions, all of them have had on just free speech in America, people being afraid. I mean, how can you not be afraid if you're going to get in legal jeopardy and perhaps clapped in irons because of one of these ridiculous, not, you know, parading in the Capitol or some such thing that's usually, and we can go back to the Kavanaugh hearings of 20, what [34:28] year was that? 2018. The Kavanaugh hearings are the perfect case for people to refresh on because they, the anti-Kavanaugh protesters occupied Senate office building. They did all the things and more in terms of interrupting the vote, the actual vote on the floor in Congress, all of these things. And they got nothing more than a ticket. They got a ticket that I believe at maximum was a $50 fine. No arrest went into their record. I was watching this report from 2018 and the reporter was explaining that these people who were occupying the building. They had to be taken out. You know, basically, the policeman would tap on their shoulder and they weren't even put in handcuffs or zip ties. They were given a color-coded bracelet. That's how the left treats protesters. That's how the state treats the protesters. When you get to the Trump situation, the January 6th situation, they slam every possible thing and it becomes essentially domestic terrorism. So, you know, again, these are Trump, no pun intended, these are Trumped up charges. So the harder you look at what Alvin Bragg has to say about Trump, I think you're just going to keep scratching your head and just say [35:45] well, it's not in the legal code. There's something else going on here. What about the money? I think Donald Trump Jr. talked about 20 million being spent, whether or not that's correct, but it'll be a lot of money. And when people are living in cities, including New York, where the police are being wound down, not giving the powers, and you've got rising crime, across the country. And you wonder, is this actually a good use of resources to spend money on someone who paid someone else to keep a secret? Again, will that make people angry? That actually this is not the bread and butter issue that we care about. [36:29] Well, that's a good question. It's also the case, and I think it was the Daily Mail, thank you, that reported this, that Alvin Bragg had released something like 10 extremely violent felons back into the New York population and chose instead to drag President Trump in for this completely nonviolent and as you say, perfectly legal non-disclosure agreement between these parties. Yeah, I mean, I think it would make people angry, but what, you know, New York City, what is New York City? President Trump was saying he really should be tried in a different jurisdiction because it's something like 1% Republican, which is another problem for the January 6th defendants because they're being tried in Washington, DC, which is roughly similar in terms of political feelings. So it's, again, it's by any means necessary. Political prosecutions don't have to make the city run better, right? I mean, it's not about him trying to protect New Yorkers. It's a show trial and it shouldn't happen in America. [37:39] It shouldn't happen anywhere. But it's usually the kind of thing we would expect to see, we would expect to read about from North Korea or Albania or Castro's Cuba or something like that. And that's why it is such a shock. And I guess it's also maybe why you are looking to see the grain of reality there or the cause. There must be a cause. This can't be happening in America, but it is. And that's why I keep, it's not a popular message, but we are in a post-democratic period. Our government was seized in 2021. And the rightful president lives in exile at a beautiful place in Florida when he's not being arranged in New York City. So it's kind of we're in a, it's a head spinning moment, but it is a crisis. It's a real crisis. What's the deal, because I am assuming this has been put in play simply to tie Trump up with legal issues and therefore slow down or stop his ability from putting his name forward for 2024. So they don't have to actually rule anything. They just have to tie him up and slow him down. [38:55] Right. Of course, we know that won't happen. If he is simply dealing with legal problems, he will use them. I mean, as I understand it, he wanted a mugshot because I think they had a plan to get it right out. And in fact, there is a T-shirt, which I really want to buy. I don't know if it says free Trump or not guilty, but they sort of created a mugshot for their T-shirt. Clearly, I mean, that kind of attitude is really where he gets so much of his support and affection. Because believe it or not, I mean, and I have to have a big exception here. I've been very estranged from Donald Trump ever since he started to push the vaccine. He's not taken a step back from pushing that thing, no matter how many people have died and been injured. And I just kind of said, well, I'm done. I'm through with him. I can't even look at him anymore. And then this thing comes along and you realize that once again, he's on a front line alone and you just have to kind of, you know, accept him for what he is and where we are and what who else is there. And then you kind of, you know, you kind of find your, your feeling for him again, but it's it's, it's, it won't stop him obviously. And he, he has such an irrepressible spirit, this life force that he has is something that will turn this kind of thing to his advantage, which I know makes them crazy. [40:20] You can go back to watching any kind of, we'll go back to the Clintons and watch the way they handled, I mean, they're real crimes. That's probably one of the main reasons these people committed real crimes. I mean, think about, not even that he was even in trouble for this, but think about Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton declassified something like 11 million pages of military data that experts believe allowed the Chinese military to totally modernize and revamp itself. He also permitted, American military secrets to go to China in exchange for campaign finance contributions. [40:58] I mean, that's not just a national security, that's treason. And yet nothing happened. You couldn't even get it into an article of impeachment because they wouldn't give the committee time enough to draw everything up and go forward with different, I mean, and there probably wasn't enough will to be honest as well, but think about that kind of a transgression compared to paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 in a non-disclosure agreement, which as I understand it, was mainly so Melania, his wife, would not find out. I mean, you know, what hurts the country, right? And who, you know, so it's not really, it's not hypocrisy, it's much worse. It's one kind of crime against the people is fine with the elites. One kind of crime against who? Who's the crime against? It just becomes a pretext to destroy this man. Maybe the judicial system would be a better place to find Epstein's victims rather than worried about someone who's paid a hundred thou, but that's a whole other area. [42:14] But just to finish off, I mean I agree 100% with your thoughts on the vaccine side and that's why I really do like what DeSantis has done, but also there's no one like Trump and if Trump is in the ring then why would anyone else be in the ring with him? And I'm wondering what your... it's probably never been in this situation before, obviously never having a president, former president indicted. How do you see this playing out? How do you kind of think we will be watching it? Well I think a lot depends on how far they will go to use their, I think Nancy Pelosi called it quiver of arrows, against him. If they they actually go to federal charges and actually try to incarcerate him and you know do these absolutely Bolshevik things it becomes it probably becomes really difficult for him to run for office. I think short of that, I think he probably will continue to run and he will probably raise more money than he's ever raised before. So, [43:29] you know, after that my crystal ball kind of goes black because, you know, there are just so many other problems, you know, that obstacles that are ahead. But that does seem to be my at least short-term view. Well I'm sure we'll have you back on. Diana, thank you so much for joining us and giving us your thoughts as it's sometimes difficult to assess things from thousands of miles away and you're living that as a US citizen. So thank you for coming on and sharing your thoughts. Oh well thank you, I'm just thrilled to be able to speak with you about it because it's a lot. You want people to to get a different perspective now that will come out through the media. So thank you, Peter. Thank you for coming on.

New Podcast Episode: I'm not a big fan of reality TV, but the “TrumpWorld family” would make a great storyline. In just this month the keywords are: Supreme Court, White House records, lower court rulings, Capitol insurrection, executive privilege, witch hunt, seizure of voting machines, Ivanka... and of course, what story would be without a good protagonist… Attorney General of New York, Letitia James! My forecast is it's all worth a good 3-season, 13-episode run on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Shout out to Howard University's Knight Chair in Race and Journalism and Pulitzer Prize Winner, Nikole Hannah-Jones. Her delivery of a speech at the Union League Club of Chicago commemorating MLK was nothing short of brilliant. A masterful literary quilt woven from quoted excerpts of his actual speeches – but not the usual ‘I have a Dream' and ‘Let's all join hands in harmony' lines selected over time to appease white palates. Hannah-Jones substituted the word ‘Negro' for ‘Black' and did not reveal the original author until the end. She cast a chilling reminder on abusive words like ‘traitor, charlatan and demagogue' hurled at him at the time. Uncomfortable audience - yes. Hypocrisy points made…you betcha! If China is a sworn enemy of this country, then why do we trade to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars? Listen to the podcast for more…
Chef Atzima, joins a convesation with Vicente Del Real about her immigrant story. Chef Atzimba came to the United States from Mexico in September of 1996. Less than a decade later, she began employment at the Union League Club of Chicago, an extremely prominent private club. While there, she was fortunate to have the opportunity of working with Michelin Star Chef Carlos Gaytan. In September of 2014, Atzimba went on to start her own company, Atzimba Catering and Events. With great dedication and a vast appreciation of her Mexican roots, she combines her knowledge and expertise in authentic Pre-Hispanic and traditional Mexican foods with different customs native to Mexico. In this way, she is able to preserve the cultural influences present in her work.www.iskali.org

There’s a saying, “ you don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great”. Well, our guest has done just that. Michael Ponzio grew up in Elmwood park in Chicago, a predominantly Italian community at that time. At a young age of 11 years old, he started working at his uncle’s restaurant, bussing tables, washing dishes and making salad. Influenced by his nonna (Italian for grandma), he was inspired to go into culinary arts not before taking a detour through graphics design. Anyway, soon after he graduated from Kendal college, he got hired as the sous chef at the only four star Italian restaurant in Chicago at the time. But let’s start at the beginning. His work ethics was influenced by is nonna, and because of that, he was able to accomplish so much at an early age. Today, he is the executive Chef of the Union League Club of Chicago, a 100 year old club that has only had 5 executive chefs.
Welcome to the Anti-theist Atheist podcast, where we feature prominent speakers with their arguments against religion. This season we are exploring: Opening speeches in religious debates, with Christopher Hitchens. Today we feature: Christopher's opening speech on religion versus Bill Donohue, recorded in the year 2000. It is the inaugural debate from ChristiFideles taped in front of a capacity crowd at the Union League Club in New York City. Donohue and Hitchens discussed the hostility of the American cultural elite, religion in general, and Catholicism in particular. Without any further throat-clearing: Here is the opening speech from Christopher Hitchens... and remember: love all people, hate bad ideas...
Cherilyn Murerhas spent a lifetime cracking glass ceilings. In the mid 80s, she received a law degree (one of the few women to attend law school at the time). She then launched a consulting firm which became recognized as one first, legal-based healthcare consulting firms in the country. When Cherilyn sold Murer Consultants in 2017, the firm had more than 500 clients in 42 states, Europe and the Middle East, employing 40 people, 28 of whom were lawyers. But retirement wasn’t in the cards: she started CGM Advisory Group a few months later. The pursuit of intellectual stimulation and the desire to solve problems and affect changewas has always beenher driving force. Today, Cherilyn’s life portfolio still includes healthcare but also higher education and the arts. In addition to a board membership of private equity-owned company Surgical Solutions, she is on the boards of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Union League Club of Chicago, Northern Illinois University Foundation and Luminarts Cultural Foundation where she was just reelected for a second term as President.She cracked the ceiling once again when inshe becamethe first female officer of the 24-member board of directors at Lebanese American University. Subsequently, she was elected Vice Chairman of the board, a position she presently holds. Cherilyn has written seven healthcare text books and over 200 articles and is a frequent speaker on healthcare, higher education, the arts, and women’s leadership. She has won over a dozen awards for her business success and philanthropic accomplishments, including the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame, the “Top Women in Healthcare Legacy Award” from PR News, and the 2018 “Women of Influence” award from Chicago Business Journal. In addition to empowering nonprofits, supporting women in business isher key focus. Gender equality, she says,is reachable only when both men and women, and society believe that everyone deserves an equal chance at success. Q. You launched your first company shortly after graduating from school when your children were still pre-schoolers. With so few women entrepreneurs at the time, you lacked role models to serve as an inspiration.And,you realized there were also biases against women in leadership positions. In this environment, what made you feel you could succeed? Q: A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review revealed that women are reluctant to advocate for career advancement, raises or other perks out of fear the requests might end poorly. How important IS self-advocacy to get ahead, and is it a skill that can be learned? Q.You’ve been quoted saying you believe that women have an obligation to help other women.Do you feel this is true, and if so, how does that manifest itself in the real world? Q. In Illinois (where you live) and my home state of California, state legislatures recently enacted laws mandating that the boards of publicly traded companies elect at least one femaleboard member.How necessary are laws as a ways to get more women on corporate boards? Q. Over the years, you’ve served on many nonprofit boards, usually in leadership positions. Why is this service and experience so important? Q. Our country is in the midst of a pandemic which has cost thousands of lives and countless jobs. As our nation slowly edges towards what has been called a “new normal,” what advice do you have for women in business to help their companies and communities recover? Q. On a somewhat lighter note, this is a decades-old question: Can women really have it all? Q: Will you share a fact about you that would surprise the people you know?
