From the publisher: "Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic worldIn this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts.Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018.Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change."Gloria Browne-Marshall's website can be found here: https://www.browne-marshall23.com/Information on Gloria Browne-Marshall's book can be found here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770181/a-protest-history-of-the-united-states-by-gloria-j-browne-marshall/Gloria Browne-Marshall is on social media here: https://www.instagram.com/gbrownemarshall/?hl=enAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Din nou despre taxele lui Donald Trump. În noua lume comercială în care Curtea Supremă americană a anulat cele mai multe tarife vamale introduse de președintele Trump, se pot vedea deja unii câștigători și unii dezavantajați. Raportarea se face la nivelul de taxare de 15%, care intră în vigoare chiar de astăzi, față de cota aplicată începând cu anul trecut. Astfel, calculul general este simplu: țările care aveau un nivel al taxării mai mare de 15% sunt, în noua situație, avantajate, toate celelalte state ies, deocamdată, în pierdere. Deocamdată, pentru că să nu uităm actualele tarife se aplică pentru 150 de zile, după care se va ajunge din nou într-o zonă necunoscută. De exemplu, Marea Britanie, unele dintre primele țări care au reușit să ajungă la o înțelegere mai mult decât rezonabilă cu președintele american, respectiv aplicarea unei cote de numai 10% pentru importuri, se vede acum cu o creștere a nivelului de taxare. În această situație se află și Australia, Peru, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Coreea de Sud, precum și numeroase state africane, inclusiv Egipt sau Etiopia. Este o situație paradoxală, în sensul că toate țările care au obținut, anul trecut, o taxare redusă, din motive obiective sau subiective, primesc acum o penalizare, în sensul că au o cotă mai mare a tarifelor vamale. De asemenea, Arabia Saudită și statele din Asia Centrală (cu excepția Kazahstanului) sunt în rândul celor care au o creștere a taxării, ceea ce este destul de ciudat, pentru că printre aceste state sunt și unii aliați ai SUA. Pentru unele state, cota de 15% rămâne neschimbată. Din această categorie fac parte și țările Uniunii Europene, dar care își pierd derogările de la o serie de produse care erau taxate cu 10%. Trebuie remarcat că statele care s-au dorit a fi pedepsite de Donald Trump (din diverse motive, fie din cauza unui deficit comercial mare al SUA în relația cu economia respectivă, fie din rațiuni pur politice) ajung să fie astăzi câștigătoarele schimbării venită ca urmare a deciziei Curții Supreme și apoi a tarifului impus de Donald Trump. Printre ele se află Mexicul, Canada și mai ales China. De o reducere ușoară a tarifelor vor avea parte și India, Malaezia, Thailanda, Indonezia, Filipine sau Vietnam. Desigur, beneficiile vor exista doar în perioada intermediară, după care nu se mai știe ce se va întâmpla cu taxarea vamală americană. Pentru unele cazuri, noua lume comercială complică foarte mult situația. De exemplu, India și SUA tocmai sunt gata să finalizeze un acord care prevede ca tarifele vamale să scadă de la 50% la 18%, iar India s-a angajat să facă achiziții din SUA în valoare de 500 miliarde de dolari și să deschidă parțial piața pentru produsele agricole americane, în ciuda protestelor vehemente ale fermierilor indieni. În noile condiții, partea indiană primește un cadou care îi dă forță de negociere, adică o reducere automată a tarifului la 15%. India este tentată să se retragă acum de la negocieri, pentru că există o clauză care prevede că o schimbare a tarifului permite părților să își revizuiască angajamentele. Cazul Indiei este mai complicat, pentru că SUA au fost de acord să reducă taxele vamale de la 50% doar în situația în care India încetează să mai cumpere țiței rusesc. Ca urmare, India se simte dezlegată de obligațiile acordului și poate relua achizițiile de țiței din Rusia. O analiză aparte este cea a unor posibile rambursări ale taxelor vamale. În cazul în care se vor face, explică specialiștii, banii vor fi plătiți către firmele importatoare, care au achitat sumele către statul american. Doar că majoritatea taxelor vamale au fost incluse în preț și drept urmare importatorii și-au recuperat plățile făcute de la consumatori. Așadar, consumatorii ar trebui să primească banii înapoi, nu firmele Este o situație complicată, atât de tipică pentru Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court's latest ruling on tariffs has thrown existing trade agreements into uncertainty. Our Head of Public Policy Research Ariana Salvatore and Arunima Sinha, from the U.S and Global Economics teams break down the fallout.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of Public Policy Research. Arunima Sinha: And I am Arunima Sinha on the U.S. and Global Economics teams. Ariana Salvatore: Today we'll be talking about the recent Supreme Court decision on tariffs, what it means for existing trade deals, and where trade policy is headed from here. It's Monday, February 23rd at 9am in New York. On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that the president could not use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to impose broad-based tariffs. The ruling didn't give a clear signal on what it could mean for potential refunds, but the Trump administration said it plans to replace the existing tariffs, which is something that we'd long expected – first leveraging Section 122 to impose 15 percent tariffs for 150 days. The president is simultaneously going to launch a few new Section 301 investigations to eventually replace those Section 122 tariffs, since they're only allowed to be in place temporarily. So Arunima, let's start by breaking down some of this tariff math. What does this mean for the headline and effective rate given where we are now versus before? Arunima Sinha: Before the decision, Ariana, we were at a headline tariff rate of about 13 percent. What this decision does is that with the move, especially to 15 percent, for other countries, we think that it takes about a percentage point off of the headline tariff rate. So, we would go to about 12 percent, and then we have another percentage point coming off just because of the shifts in trade patterns. And so instead of a headline tariff rate of about 13 percent, we think that we're going to be at a headline tariff of just about 11 percent. But that's really just related to the Section 122s. And as you noted, this is only going to apply for the next 150 days. So how should we be thinking about trade policy going forward? Ariana Salvatore: I think we should view the 15 percent as probably a likely ceiling for these rates in the medium term; in particular because this 150-day period expires some time around the summer, so even closer to the midterm elections. And as we've been saying politically speaking, it's unpopular to impose high levels of tariffs. We've also been saying that the president will continue to lean on trade policy as his real, only way to address the affordability issue for voters, which is something that we've actually seen on the policy side for the past few months with the imposition of exemptions, more trade framework agreements, et cetera.So really, I think this is just another way for him to continue leaning on this policy avenue. But in that vein, let's talk about specific pockets of relief. What are we thinking about some of their findings on a sector level? Arunima Sinha: So, let's tie this into the affordability aspect that you mentioned, Ariana, and specifically using the consumer goods sector. What we think is that with, just in the near-term period, with the Section 122s applying, for different consumer goods categories, we could see tariff rate differentials go down. So, they could be anywhere between 1 to 4 percentage points lower across different categories. But what we also think could happen is that once we get beyond the 150-day period, and there are no additional sector tariffs that go on. So, the 232s or the 301s, particularly for this particular sector, we could see some of the largest tariff relief that we're expecting to see. So, for example, apparel and accessories could see something like a 16 to 17 percentage point tariff drop. So that particular part I think is important. Just the upside risks to consumer goods. But that of course brings us to the question of bilateral trade deals and how they come into play. What do you think about that, Ariana? Ariana Salvatore: Yeah. So, I think when it comes to the bilateral deals, as we mentioned, there's some opportunities for relief depending on the sectors and the type of tariff exposure by country. As you mentioned, the consumer goods are a good example of this. So, in general, I think that trading partners will have little incentive to abandon the existing deals or framework agreements, just given that the president and the administration have messaged this idea of continuity. So, replacing the IEEPA tariffs with a more durable, legitimate, legal authority. But what's notable is that many of our trading partners are actually now facing potentially even lower levels than they were before. Even with the increase to 15 percent on the 122s from 10 percent over the weekend. In particular, many countries in Southeast Asia are actually now facing lower tariff levels since there were somewhere in the range of 20 or maybe even 25 percent before. But as I mentioned, the export composition of these countries matters a lot. So, Vietnam, for example, most exports are subject to the 20 percent tariff because of the IEEPA exposure. This ruling is more meaningful than somewhere like South Korea, where the exports are more exposed to the Section 232 tariffs. Based on the export composition – and that's a level, remember, that's not changing as a result of this ruling. So that's how we're trying to disaggregate the impact here. Now, my last question to you, Arunima, what does this all mean for the macro-outlook? As we mentioned, refunds weren't addressed in this ruling. We've sketched out a few different scenarios, most of which leaned toward a long lead time to eventually paying back the money – if and when the administration is actually, in fact, mandated to do that. But safe to say in the near term that we aren't going to see much action on that front. That probably means status quo. But why don't you put a finer point on what this means for the macroeconomic outlook? Arunima Sinha: That's absolutely right, Ariana, for the very near term and the second quarter, we don't think we're going to be very different from what our baseline expectation is. In the third quarter and in the last part of this year, there could be some upside risks, especially once the timeline on the 122s run out, they're not extended. And the different sector and country investigations take longer to implement. So, there could be some upside risks to demand. Consumer goods, for example. If there were to be some sort of an incremental tailwind to corporate margins that might lead to better labor demand from these companies. There could be additional goods disinflation; that would support just purchasing power. So, both of those things could be some incremental uplift to demand, relative to our baseline outlook. But then the last thing I think just to emphasize from our perspective, is that we do think that there is some sort of a near-term ceiling about how high effective tariff rates can go. We don't think that we're going to be going back to Liberation Day tariff rates in the near-term or even in the latter half of this year. Because if history is any guide, many of these investigations are going to take time and that full implementation may not actually occur before early 2027. Ariana Salvatore: Makes sense. Arunima, thanks for joining. Arunima Sinha: Thanks so much for having me.Ariana Salvatore: And thank you for listening.

Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and hyperDENT from FOLLOW-ME! Technology was everywhere. Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults… Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter. That's what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next. Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves. Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower. Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows in 2026* Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week we finally get Jay Collins to stop dodging Elvis long enough to sit down and share one of the wildest journeys in dental lab history. From a family split between union steamfitters and dental technicians in Philadelphia to surviving “The Great Brotherly Lab War,” Jay's story is packed with grit, loyalty, and a whole lot of Irish Catholic chaos. What started with an uncle drafted into dental technology during Vietnam eventually turned into a multi-generation lab legacy—and Jay swearing he'd never get into teeth… only to build a powerhouse anyway. After the 2008 crash wiped out his construction business, Jay bet everything on selling outsourced restorations door-to-door, sleeping in his car, showering at the gym, and cold-calling hundreds of offices a week. What followed was the development of his unapologetically bold, psychologically savvy sales approach—what he calls being “aggressively calm.” From pushing doctors to “no,” to matching their energy toe-to-toe, to walking into offices as “the lab” and walking out with cases in hand, Jay breaks down the mindset shift most lab owners desperately need: sales isn't optional, and it definitely isn't accidental. Now leading multiple lab locations under the brilliantly simple name thedentallab.net, Jay shares hard truths about growth, mergers, firing abusive clients, and why cutting your sales department in tough times is the worst move you can make. If you've ever struggled with prospecting, scaling, or standing your ground with doctors, this episode is packed with practical strategies, hilarious role-playing, and a reminder that confidence—backed by accountability—wins every time.

From hotels on petrol (gas) station forecourts in Thailand to Singapore's ingenious tourism match-making scheme... On our fast-paced Start The Week show, Gary and Hannah stop over in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines and India in search of the answers to travel's big questions. We begin by discussing ASEAN representation on the Gaza Board of Peace, aircraft orders tied to tariff negotiations and whether the Indonesia-US trade deals still stands. Plus, can Malaysia become "Asia Pacific's most connected nation" by 2030? Why is Farm Tourism sowing collaborative seeds in the Philippines? And Why is Vietnam emerging as a hot vegetarian destination for Indian tourists? Plus, why are we talking about Aunties Not Algorithms? And will more South East Asian countries convert petrol (gas) stations into hotels as the region transitions to EVs?

This episode is a special one for me: Steve Gadd.Steve is not just a great drummer. He is one of those rare musicians whose feel and sound are instantly recognizable. A few seconds in, and you know it's him. He has been a first-call presence on recordings and tours for decades, and somehow, he makes the most complex things feel relaxed and human. Spending time with him for this conversation was a real honor.We begin in the present. In 2026, Steve is still moving forward with curiosity and purpose. He talks about starting the year with the Love Rocks benefit in New York, touring Europe with Michael Blicher and Dan Hemmer, rehearsing and touring with Paul Simon, and heading out again with James Taylor. Later in the year, he is back with Simon Oslender and Will Lee, a project that clearly brings him joy. You can hear how much he values character, maturity, and the spirit of the bandstand.We trace the roots of his musicianship through his time in the Army Field Band during the Vietnam era. Daily chart reading sharpened his time, discipline, and mindset. It was not always fun, but it was formative. He also reflects on mentorship, from Stanley Street to John Beck, and how those teachers shaped not just his hands but his confidence and identity.Steve speaks candidly about insecurity and imposter syndrome, about how reading is a skill that fades without use, and how repetition is the real secret. No shortcuts. We also dive into sound, volume, and dynamics. He shares his thoughts on live versus studio playing, the challenges of modern stage volume, and why the best shows begin at a real level and let the music breathe.What stays with me most is his philosophy. It is not about ego. It is about service, supporting the song, making the artist comfortable, and being a good teammate. This conversation captures a legend who is still learning, still listening, and still chasing feel and sound in the purest way.Music from the Episode:I Gotta Try (Michael McDonald)On a Roll (Live) (Simon Oslender)September Grass (James Taylor)My Rival (Steely Dan)Thank you for listening.

In 1863 the French established a protectorate over the kingdom of Cambodia. The protectorate, along with Vietnam and Laos, later became part of the colonial state of French Indochina. Part of the French ‘civilizing mission' in Cambodia involved reforming Cambodian law and legal processes.  Sally Low's pioneering study, Colonial Law Making: Cambodia under the French (NUS Press, 2023), tells the story of the encounter between what she calls two different legal and social ‘cosmologies': Cambodia's indigenous legal tradition and modern French legal thinking. While the French claimed they were modernizing Cambodian law, in fact they imposed many elements of French law. Initially, they dispossessed the king of much of his judicial authority. But ironically, the French reform of Cambodian law retained the monarchy as the semi-divine source of law, and royal power was subsequently legally embedded into new national institutions, the law, and the constitutions. At independence in 1953, 90 years after the French began their protectorate, Cambodia's King Sihanouk inherited this legal apparatus which had done so much to enhance the power of the executive over the judiciary.

Part of the French ‘civilizing mission' in Cambodia involved reforming Cambodian law and legal processes.  Sally Low's pioneering study, Colonial Law Making: Cambodia under the French (NUS Press, 2023), tells the story of the encounter between what she calls two different legal and social ‘cosmologies': Cambodia's indigenous legal tradition and modern French legal thinking. While the French claimed they were modernizing Cambodian law, in fact they imposed many elements of French law. Initially, they dispossessed the king of much of his judicial authority. But ironically, the French reform of Cambodian law retained the monarchy as the semi-divine source of law, and royal power was subsequently legally embedded into new national institutions, the law, and the constitutions. At independence in 1953, 90 years after the French began their protectorate, Cambodia's King Sihanouk inherited this legal apparatus which had done so much to enhance the power of the executive over the judiciary.

Send a textNiki Roberts, Multi Faith Neighbors Network – Inspire What if peace isn't built through big conversations alone, but through shared service that reshapes how we see each other? The world feels smaller than ever. But many people feel more disconnected. In this conversation with Niki Roberts, the focus shifts from friendship to action. From local tables to global communities. Niki shares how her work with women across cultures, including ongoing engagement in Vietnam, has revealed something surprising: People don't just learn about each other through dialogue. They learn through proximity, service, and shared purpose. Multi Faith Neighbors Network believes relationships grow strongest when people of different beliefs work side by side for the common good while remaining grounded in their own faith traditions. Global experiences often transform how we see our local communities. Sometimes these experiences come through personal travel and proximity. Sometimes these experiences come through curiosity and learning without even having to leave your home! If you're tired of division but unsure what real change looks like, this conversation offers a different path forward in practical ways.   (MFNN.org)

Als luisteraar van de Amerika Podcast hebben we iets extra’s voor je: een nieuwe reeks van De Alliantie. De oorlog in Oekraïne duurt inmiddels al vier jaar. Daarom roept BNR haar geopolitieke alliantie weer bij elkaar. We beschouwen de situatie in Oekraïne vanuit het Oekraïense, Russische, Amerikaanse en Europese perspectief. In aflevering één bespreken we de situatie met een Oekraïense bril. Het front zit muurvast, maar Oekraïne beleeft een zware winter door de Russische aanvallen op energiecentrales. Toch bezwijkt het land niet. Hoe staat het land er in zijn totaliteit voor? Dat bespreken Bernard Hammelburg, Geert Jan Hahn en Rob de Wijk onder leiding van Niels Heithuis. Over de podcast In De Alliantie komen BNR-kopstukken bij elkaar als de situatie daarom vraagt. Met scherpe analyses en duiding bij actuele kwesties. Over de makers Bernard Hammelburg is buitenlandcommentator en columnist voor BNR Nieuwsradio en het FD, en presentator van BNR De Wereld. Als oorlogsverslaggever was hij onder andere ooggetuige van de Culturele Revolutie in China, de revolutie in Iran en de oorlogen in Vietnam, het Midden-Oosten en Afghanistan. Hij was twintig jaar correspondent in de VS. Hij verdeelt zijn tijd tussen zijn woonplaatsen Amsterdam en New York. Geert Jan Hahn is Europa-verslaggever voor BNR Nieuwsradio.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1323 Nuclear Thrones: What Happens When Absolute Power Becomes a Family Heirloom? A dynasty built on blood is preparing its next heir. In a move that stunned intelligence analysts, Kim Jong-un has publicly revealed his 13-year-old daughter, Kim Ju Ae, as a potential successor—positioning a child to one day command nuclear weapons in the world's most secretive regime. Is North Korea becoming the first true hereditary communist monarchy? What happens when absolute power becomes a family heirloom? In this gripping episode, we explore the geopolitical shockwaves of a fourth-generation Kim ruler—and the terrifying possibility that the fate of millions could rest in the hands of a teenager groomed for total control. GUEST: Jared Knott is a decorated U.S. combat infantry officer who served in Vietnam with the First Air Cavalry Division, a seasoned historian of global conflict, and the international bestselling author of the Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters series. His work exposes how seemingly minor miscalculations—missed signals, wounded egos, small human errors—have triggered some of history's greatest catastrophes. Blending battlefield experience with deep historical analysis, Knott brings rare insight into how fragile power structures can unravel. When dynasties, nuclear weapons, and succession collide, he understands better than most how quickly history can turn—and how devastating the consequences can be.

Her energy at 84 is, well, humbling. We had a blast.For two clips of our convo — on Sally's initial impression of Bezos, and the time Bill Clinton called her the b-word — head to our YouTube page.Other topics: born in Savannah, GA, and learning voodoo as a kid; moving as an Army brat; her general dad who captured Göring and helped create the CIA; at Smith College wanting to be an actress; rebelling against Vietnam and the wishes of her dad by marrying Bradlee; the Georgetown party circuit and how it's grown more partisan; throwing a pajama party for Goldwater; dating Hunter S.

As always, please send any guest recs, dissents, and other comments to dish@andrewsullivan.com. A listener writes:Thanks for all these good episodes. Is Vivek still planning to be a guest soon? I have been looking forward to that episode.He got cold feet. Too bad. On the other hand, I tend to avoid active politicians. Because they're rarely as candid as I'd like a guest to be. Oh well.A fan of last week's pod who lives near Atlanta writes, “The longtime Dishheads on the Mableton cul-de-sac definitely approve of your interview with homegrown talent Zaid Jilani”:I agree with his description of Mableton as a bit like the United Nations; I see that diversity in our grocery stores and local restaurants. He mentioned how he was often the only Pakistani and thus perceived as a nonthreatening minority. It makes me wonder how much the diversity mix affects how people perceive immigration? If a large group from one country arrives, does that seem more like an invasion? If a similar number arrives but from a wide range of locations, does that seem more like the normal American melting pot?After 30 years of living in Mableton, this may partly explain why I am not bothered by immigration in the way that you are, Andrew. I expect to see and hear all sorts of people wherever I go in my neighborhood. Today the teller at the bank spoke accented English. There are regular clerks at my grocery store who are immigrants. Our new HVAC was installed by immigrants. As an Atlanta suburb, there are many people descended from African slaves. European ancestry is merely one possibility off the long colorful menu around here.I think pace and numbers matter. A slower pace and fewer — with no massive homogenous populations arriving at once. And a new emphasis on Americanization over “multiculturalism”.From a listener who wants to “Make Democrats Great Again”:Great conversation with Zaid Jilani last week. I am very concerned that hardly any Democrats are being at all introspective, trying to figure out where they went wrong and how to become a party that can actually win elections — maybe even hearts and minds. They are only defined as anti-Trump, and their only hope is for Trump to go down in flames — which he very well might, but all they aspire to is winning as the least-worst party.The policy directions for reclaiming sanity and moderate voters are obvious (to me, at least). Here are my top three issues:1. AffordabilityThe longest lever to affect affordability is housing. Democrats have been complete failures in this regard, with strongholds like California and NYC being the least affordable places. When they talk about “affordable housing,” they only mean housing that is forced below market rate for the few poor people lucky enough to get it. They offer no solutions for the middle class or young people.The solution is obvious: build more. Plough through the various restrictions that are preventing housing from being built. There is no reason housing can't be cheap, except for NIMBY politics. Scott Weiner in California has been doing great work on this.Health care is the second-longest affordability lever. Obamacare made some progress, but not nearly enough, especially in terms of keeping costs down. But I'm not sure we're ready for another push on this; I say focus on housing.2. ImmigrationObviously there should be some immigration, and obviously we have structured our economy such that many jobs are only done by immigrants. But the Democrats' policy of simply not enforcing immigration law is untenable, especially for a group asking to be put in charge of law enforcement. We need those migrant workers, so find a way for them be here legally. Not through amnesty, but through some sort of bureaucratic process: have the employers fill out a form; have the prospective worker fill out a form in some office in Mexico; have someone process the form; and give them a green card.This is simple stuff! And yes, it would be helpful to admit that open borders, sanctuary cities, and subverting the law were not good ideas.3. CultureEnd wokeness. America is not a country consumed by white supremacy, and the people who voted for Trump are not racists. There are hardly any racists! And drop the other insanities, like the trans stuff.The message needs to be, “We are the Democrats and we want to help anybody from any state who needs help.” Hard to convince struggling white people in the South that you're going to help them when you seem to despise them. Love your brother, for crying out loud. And naturally, today's woke Democrats would be much more accepting of this message if it came from a racial minority candidate.Another wanted to hear more:I wish you had asked Zaid about Josh Shapiro. Also, when Zaid talked about affordability, he never mentioned housing — which is why there are so many ex-Californians in his home state of Georgia and elsewhere. “Build Baby Build” should be the slogan of the Democratic Party, rather than gaslighting Americans into believing housing prices will come down because we are getting rid of immigrants (Vance).Here's a dissent:About 20:30 into your interview with Zaid Jilani, he said that the root of all the Abrahamic faiths is that the meek have rights. You replied that this applied more to Christianity and Islam than to Judaism. I say this neither rhetorically nor to admonish you, but how much do you know about Judaism? Your comment is completely mistaken. Just what do you think Judaism says about the meek?Another has examples:In Genesis, you find that all humans were created b'tzelem Elohim (in the image of God). Moreover, Jewish texts consistently frame care for the poor as a legal obligation and moral imperative, not mere charity. Every Jewish child learns that promoting economic justice is mandated. It is called tzedakah.This religious mandate has manifested itself in the real world. Jews have been disproportionately represented in social justice movements aimed at promoting human equality. It wasn't an accident that two of three civil rights movement activists murdered in Neshoba County, Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan were Jewish.Points taken. Big generalizations in a chat can be dumb. My quarrel may be semantic: the meek is not merely the weak. It's about the quiet people, those easily trampled upon. Like many of Jesus' innovations, it takes a Jewish idea further.Another listener on the Zaid pod:I wonder if you ever play the game of “which time would you like to go back to”? I do! And only half-jokingly, I often say 1994 in DC. Something about, for example, Christopher Hitchens on CSPAN in a dreary suit jacket discussing such *trivial* aspects of politics in a serious way. How perfect! When I listened to your episode with Zaid Jilani about how the left can win, it seemed dated to about this period in the early ‘90s.Ah yes, the Nineties. They were heady times and I think we all kinda realized it at the time. The economy was booming, crime was plummeting, Annie Leibovitz took my picture, and we had the luxury of an impeachment over a b*****b. Good times.On another episode, a listener says I have a “rose-colored view of President Obama”:In your conversation with Jason Willick, you said that Obama was a stickler for proper procedure and doing things the right way. I might instance, on the other side:* Evading the constitutional requirements on treaties in pursuit of the Iran deal (an evasion that the Republicans were stupid enough to go along with)* Encouraging the regulatory gambit of “sue and settle”* The “Dear Colleague” letter* “I've got a pen and a phone”Points taken. Especially the DACA move. But compared to Biden and Trump? Much better. One more listener email:I've been following you for years, but more recently I became a subscriber, and it's a decision I don't regret! I usually listen to the Dishcast over the weekend, and I always find it extremely stimulating, but there is also something relaxing about the length and scope of your conversations.I want to respond to something you said in your Claire Berlinski episode on the subject of Ukraine. Although I appreciate your position in defence of international law, you implied that Russia's claim to Ukrainian land is somehow “historically legitimate.” This is not only problematic from a logical standpoint (does Sweden have a historically legitimate claim to Finland and Norway, or does the UK have a claim to the Republic of Ireland, the US, and all its former colonies?), but also not based on historical reality.Unfortunately, this is not the first time your comments on Ukraine seem come through the prism of a Russian lens. I am sure it's not intentional; perhaps that's not a subject you have invested much time in, which is legitimate. However, I find it a bit surprising that, as we approach the fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion, you still don't seem to have had the curiosity to explore this and invite any specialist on Ukraine. If Timothy Snyder is too political these days, I would recommend Serhii Plokhy — possibly the most eminent historian of Ukraine — or Yaroslav Hrytsak. They would each be a very interesting conversation.The Dishcast has featured many guests with expertise on the Ukraine war, including Anne Applebaum (twice), John Mearsheimer, Samuel Ramani (twice), Edward Luttwak, Fiona Hill (twice), Robert Wright, Robert Kaplan, Fareed Zakaria, Douglas Murray, Edward Luce, and Niall Ferguson.A reader responds to last week's column, “The President Of The 0.00001 Percent”:Like you, I'm not against people getting rich. A lot of good is done by a few people who have enough money to seed research and the arts, and pursue things that ordinary worker bees would never have the margin of time or resources to pursue. Good so far.But all strong forces need regulation and/or protective barriers, whether it's the weather, sex, patriotism, or capitalism. What's going on now is obscene. Progressive taxation is a social good: it doesn't stop anyone from getting richer and richer; it doesn't remove the positive motivators for success; it just means that the farther they get, the higher their proportionate contribution to the system that lets them get there. There are various ways to tweak the dials, but there is nothing philosophically wrong with tweaking them in a way the sets some outer limit. Let it be very high, but let it not be infinite.Here's a familiar dissent:You were right to torch the nihilism of the .00001 class. You were right to call out moral evasions. But when you referred to “the IDF's massacre of children in Gaza,” you collapsed a morally and legally distinct reality into a slogan. Words matter. “Massacre” implies intent. It suggests that the deliberate killing of children is policy rather than tragic consequence. That is a serious charge, and it deserves serious evidence.The governing reality in Gaza is not that Israel woke up one morning and decided to target children.

It's Friday, February 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 100 U.S. troops on the ground in Northeast Nigeria U.S. officials confirmed that roughly 100 U.S. troops arrived in Nigeria on Monday, tasked with a mission to train and equip Nigerian anti-terror forces in their ongoing struggle against the country's rising Islamic terrorist threat, reports International Christian Concern. About 200 troops are expected to be deployed in the coming weeks. Nigeria has witnessed an uptick in religious-based violence in the central and north by the Islamic Boko Haram terrorist group against Christians. The U.S. soldiers were sent to Bauchi State located in northeastern Nigeria at the invitation of the Nigerian government. British police arrested Prince Andrew Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew before his royal title was stripped from him, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office at around 8:00am on his 66th birthday yesterday, reports The U.S. Sun. Andrew allegedly shared sensitive information with his pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the United Kingdom's trade envoy. He spent time in Vietnam, Singapore, China, and Hong Kong in October 2010 on taxpayer-funded official business and high-level trade talks. An email to Epstein on November 30, 2010, sent by Andrew's “Special Adviser” Amit Patel, contained four documents reporting on what had been discussed on his trip. The email and its four attachments were sent to Andrew at 4.57pm, and forwarded to multi- millionaire Jeffrey Epstein five minutes later, at 5.02pm. Cops also confirmed at the time that they were separately probing allegations that a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein to have a sexual encounter with Prince Andrew. Yesterday, police raided royal residences in Windsor and Norfolk. Andrew's brother, King Charles III, age 77, said, “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair, and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. They have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.” Andrew's arrest comes almost a year after Virginia Giuffre, a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her while she was a minor, committed suicide last April. Virginia's emotional brothers Sky and Daniel said: “At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty. On behalf of our sister, Virginia Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the UK's Thames Valley Police for their investigation, and the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.” Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Black D.C. grandma about Trump:  “I love him!” Back in 2017, Forlesia Cook's grandson was murdered in cold blood in Washington D.C.  Yesterday, at the Black History Month Reception at the White House, she spoke glowingly about President Donald Trump's concern about her family and his willingness to send in the National Guard to D.C. to put the criminals behind bars, reports FoxNews.com. Listen. COOK: “One thing I like about him, he keeps it real, just like Grandma. I appreciate that because I can trust Him, because he tells exactly how he feel and what he think. Thank God for this President. (applause) “I am filled. My cup runneth over because he allowed his people to come to my house to interview me, to talk about the murder of my grandson. It seemed like nobody cared. I marched. I rallied. I pulled out other families in the District of Columbia that had murders and did not have answers. Ooh! We marched and we rallied. And nobody heard me, Democrats, until this Republican sent his people out there to interview me in my home. Have you ever heard of a thing? “Then they invited me twice before Congress to testify for the Beautiful Bill that's going to change crime in the District.  (applause)  If you kill somebody, okay, you take a life, you do life. Just that simple. (applause)  If you do a harsh crime, you do harsh time. Just that simple. “And then we need National Guard, and which we did years ago, he brought it on. “I love him. I don't want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff. And don't be looking at me on the news hatin' on me because I'm standing up for somebody that deserves to be standin' up for. Get off the man's back. Let him do his job. He's doing the right thing. Back up off of me. And Grandma said it.” (applause) Cook cited Psalm 23:5 in her remarks.  The full verse says, “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” President Trump was clearly touched by Forlesia Cook's passion and gratitude. TRUMP: “Thank you, darling. That's great, and it's from the heart. Your little baby was just so horribly taken from you. “Under the Trump administration, we believe that no community should be abandoned to the scourge of violent crime. We're saving 1000s and 1000s of lives in many cities. And frankly, if these radical left lunatic Democrats would come and say, ‘Please help us. Please,' we'd stop crimes all over the place. “Every town that we go in, every city that we go in, like Washington, Felicia, you feel much safer now, totally safe. You can walk to a restaurant. The restaurants were all closing. Now, the bad news is you can't get into a restaurant. It's a great thing to see what's happening in Washington.” American abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass remembered And finally, 131 years ago today, on February 20, 1895, American abolitionist Frederick Douglass met his maker. He was the most important leader of the American movement for black civil rights in the 19th century. After escaping from slavery in Maryland in 1838, Douglass became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York. He gained fame for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. Accordingly, he was described by abolitionists, in his time, as a living counterexample to claims by supporters of slavery that enslaved people lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Indeed, Northerners, at the time, found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been enslaved. It was in response to this disbelief that Douglass wrote Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas: An American Slave in 1845.  It was influential in promoting the cause of abolition, as was his second book, written in 1855, entitled My Bondage and My Freedom. Following the Civil War, Douglass was an active campaigner for the rights of freed slaves and wrote his last autobiography entitled Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.

War stories are easy to tell. There's action, adventure, and good vs evil. For most Veterans their service isn't defined or explained by their war stories. For most Veterans the story that is far most difficult to write...and to live...is the story they have to write themselves.In this episode, Fran Racioppi sat down with Steven Grayhm, writer and director of Sheepdog, a film dedicated to telling the most difficult story of our Veterans. The story of what happens to us, our families, our friends, and those around us when the war stories fade, reality sets in, and the hard work must actually begin. Steven explains his 14 year journey to make Sheepdog, the thousands of hours he spent with Veterans of all walks of life, his embedment at VA hospitals across the country, and the reality of independent filmmaking; a blue collar process rooted in grit before the red carpet, where every dollar is raised face to face and every decision carries weight. The film confronts veteran suicide honestly while reinforcing a simple truth. Ending your life does not end the pain. It ends the possibility of it ever getting better.What drove Sheepdog was not an interest in war, but a responsibility to understand what happens after it. Steven and his team studied the realities of trauma, addiction, brain injury, generational differences between Vietnam and post 9/11 service members, and the long shadow that war can cast over identity and purpose. They went where the conversations were uncomfortable, where the answers were not clean, and where trust had to be earned. The result is a film that focuses not on combat, but on the war within. Veterans are not victims. Sheepdog recognizes that service members volunteered, took risk, and earned something that does not disappear when the uniform comes off. A Veteran's perspective matters. Trauma exists, but it does not eliminate the responsibility of Veterans to continue their personal and professional growth post service. Sheepdog is a story about redefining purpose, about post traumatic growth, and about the courage required to take the first step forward when the path is unclear. It reflects the reality that transition is not a checklist, that no two experiences are the same, and that finding the right sense of mission after service is critical.Highlights0:00 Introduction3:42 Why make Sheepdog?12:40 Addressing generational differences16:38 The idea of perspective21:34 Losing morality29:52 Veteran Suicide37:43 VA resources1:03:40 Was it all for nothing?1:08:34 Hope for SheepdogQuotes“The hardest thing I ever have done wasn't to become a Green Beret, it was to not be a Green Beret.”“They train you so well to do that job that you never really understand what the result of that job actually looks like.”“Whatever happens on the other side of this, I'm going to leave it there.” “One of the most challenging things in this journey of Sheepdog was getting it right.”“The warrior doesn't get to choose the war they go into.”“It haunted me in my nightmares for years that crack in the sheep pen wall.”“The guys that I learned to be more worried about were the guys that smiled through the pain.”“I get very nervous when people wax poetically about suicide because it comes in all different forms.”“All the resources in the world can exist, but it doesn't matter if you're not willing to use them.”“Veterans are not victims.”“In the film you would see, no one feels sorry for themselves.”“I think we have to do better as a veteran to remove the victim mindset.”“If we could save a single life with this film, that would be the greatest Hollywood success story."Follow the Jedburgh Podcast and the Green Beret Foundation on social media.
