Topic: A LifeTime of Service   Guest: Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat   Bio:    Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat heads the international practice of Covington and Burling.  His work at Covington focuses on resolving international trade problems and business disputes with the US and foreign governments, and international business transactions and regulations on behalf of US companies and others around the world. During a decade and a half of public service in three US administrations, Ambassador Eizenstat has held a number of key senior positions, including chief White House domestic policy adviser to President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981); U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, Under Secretary of State for Economic, Business and Agricultural Affairs, and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration (1993-2001). Much of the interest in providing belated justice for victims of the Holocaust and other victims of Nazi tyranny during World War II was the result of his leadership of the Clinton Administration as Special Representative of the President and Secretary of State on Holocaust-Era Issues.  He successfully negotiated major agreements with the Swiss, Germans, Austrian and French, and other European countries, covering restitution of property, payment for slave and forced laborers, recovery of looted art, bank accounts, and payment of insurance policies.  His book on these events, Imperfect Justice: Looted Assets, Slave Labor, and the Unfinished Business of World War II, has been favorably received in publications like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Business Week, and Publisher's Weekly.  It has been translated into German, French, Czech and Hebrew. In this informative episode, we cover: 1. Growing up in the South 2. Relationship with President Carter 3. Carter & Israel 4. Holocaust focus and conviction 5. Role of a US Ambassador 6. Dealing with loss and devotion to family 7. Key friendships & relationships And much more!

This supplemental series examines the continued obsessions many Americans have with the Kennedy political dynasty, ranging from Oliver Stone's 1991 hit movie "JFK" to the current QAnon conspiracy theorists' preoccupation with the idea that certain Kennedys faked their deaths. This episode provides background to the rise of Kennedy political family by focusing on the controversial career of Joseph P. Kennedy, Senior (the father of President John F. Kennedy). It examines Joe Kennedy's rise to wealth & power through various business ventures, including banking, stock trading, investments in the film industry, and importing liquor after the repeal of Prohibition. We also consider the most infamous aspects of Joe's life, including his decision to lobotomize his intellectually disabled daughter Rosemary, and his efforts to appease the fascist Axis powers as US Ambassador to the UK in the years immediately preceding the Second World War.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/boomertomillennial/posts)

9-11-2012. That was a day most red-blooded Americans will never forget.As a US Army Veteran I know I never will.That was the day we lost a US Ambassador and personal friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ambassador Chris Stevens.We also lost a civilian contractor, Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. All of their deaths could have been avoided, and SHOULD have. So many absolute blunders and horrible decisions were made that night, and the weeks leading up to that night, that people should have gone to prison at a minimum. Instead, it's difficult to say anyone, ANYONE, has even been held accountable, other than possibly losing an election over it.Last week the attendees of the SEHIA Conference in San Antonio had the amazing opportunity to hear a first-hand account of what really happened that night from one of the survivors, John "Tig" Tiegen. John was working as a CIA contractor, providing security for the covert CIA annex that was less than a mile away from the US Consulate that was attacked in the early evening of 9-11-12. John dispelled some rumors, confirmed others and most importantly, gave an almost minute by minute account of the cowardly actions of some, and the incredibly heroic actions of others, as that fateful night unfolded. How did the United States, with the most powerful military in the world, a massive intelligence apparatus, political and economic influence in every corner of the world and an intimate understanding of terror groups not be fully prepared to defend our strategic assets, let alone a US Ambassador, on the anniversary of 9-11?Above all else, all of us need to ask ourselves "What kind of leaders, political or military, would abandon their own citizens?" And as a follow on to that question, do we really want them in charge today? Each of us needs to answer that for ourselves but I think I make it clear how I would answer that.For more about John Tiegan go to his website at: https://www.johntiegen.com/pages/bioAll Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time. The host, Jared Bradley, is the President of M-Vac Systems, which is a wet-vacuum based forensic DNA collection system, and has experience traveling the world training all levels of law enforcement and crime lab DNA analysts in using the M-Vac to help solve crime. Along the way he has met people from all walks of life and experience in investigating crimes, so is putting that knowledge to use in another way by sharing it in these videos.If you are interested in more videos about the M-Vac, DNA and investigations, also check out the M-Vac's channel @https://www.youtube.com/c/MVacSystems...

Bensman argues that during the Trump administration, migrants were deterred from immediately migrating to the U.S. because of the U.S. government's “Remain in Mexico” policy
