Podcasts about why us

Zack, Jenn, and Jen Kirby look at how authoritarianism has become internationalized, through the lens of two recent news stories: 1) Fox News host Tucker Carlson choosing to broadcast his show from Hungary this week; and 2) a Belarusian Olympian in Tokyo seeking asylum out of fear of punishment by the Lukashenko regime after she criticized her coach on social media. They discuss what happened in both of those cases, as well as what the events tell us about the ways authoritarian governments are expanding their international reach, by developing ties with like-minded influential figures in other countries and by threatening — and, in some cases, kidnapping or even assassinating — dissidents abroad.

Why US regulators want to break up the social media giant. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and dozens of US states are arguing that Facebook is a monopoly that harms consumers. Ed Butler speaks to tech and anti-trust researcher Dina Srinivasan about why data privacy is at the centre of the arguments over Facebook's monopoly power. Former FTC chairman Bill Kovacic explains why breaking up the social media giant is still a distant possibility. And the BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones discusses the rising anti-tech sentiment among both US and European regulators. (Photo: Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram logos.

Dear ZenFamily,With the 4th of July holiday coming up in a few days, we decided to host a webinar on the importance of supporting US based manufacturers. There are a lot of discussions on US made products. Some were surprised with "why we don't make masks anymore" and "Why US made PPE is as expensive as from outside of the US". These and many other questions I would like to address with Jennifer Guarino, CEO of ISAIC (Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center), a nonprofit domestic apparel manufacturing factory and workforce development institute in Detroit that changed their direction to making Gowns and Masks during the pandemic. Please tune in on Wednesday for an exciting live discussion.  Please check out ISAIC (Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center) here: www.isaic.org

The first of a 4-part docu-style series on the battle for the future of money. In this first episode of Money Reimagined, we look at: Why US markets took so long to react How the stock market became a political utility Why, even before the crisis, “increasingly exotic forms of quantitative easing” were inevitable Why the bailouts have some investors accusing our entire market of being cronyism rather than capitalism  What unlimited money printing means for the US dollar.  Featuring insight from Matthew Graham, Caitlin Long, Scott Melker, Kevin Kelly, Ben Hunt, Luke Gromen, Travis Kling, Mark Yusko, Anthony Pompliano, Jared Dillian, Dave Portnoy, Michael Casey, Preston Pysh, Peter Zeihan Music by DJ J-Scrilla "Faith In My Money (Money Printer Go Brrr)" from the “Sound Money” album.

Two of CoinDesk’s most popular series, NLW’s The Breakdown podcast and the Money Reimagined newsletter by chief content officer Michael Casey, come together for a special podcast microseries in the run up to Consensus: Distributed, our first virtual big-tent event May 11-15. The Breakdown: Money Reimagined builds on themes Casey explores in his newsletter to tell the story of key arenas in the battle for the future of money -- from the incumbent dollar to the aspirational DCEP to the insurgent bitcoin -- in the context of a post-COVID19 world. The four-part podcast features over a dozen voices including Consensus: Distributed speakers Caitlin Long, Matthew Graham and more. New episodes air Fridays starting May 1 on the CoinDesk Podcast Network. Subscribe here.This episode is sponsored by ErisX, The Stellar Development Foundation and Grayscale Digital Large Cap Investment FundEven before COVID-19, 2020 was poised to be a big year in the battle for the future of money. 2019 had seen: Fed intervention in overnight lending markets; the launch of Facebook’s Libra; an acceleration of China’s central bank digital currency; growing acceptance of bitcoin as digital gold and more. When Coronavirus hit, however, it fundamentally altered the context in which this battle for the future of money would take place. In late January, China issued a lockdown for the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province. Over the next few weeks, that lockdown as extended to more than 200 million people. China-based blockchain investor Matthew Graham called living through it “the craziest thing I’d ever seen.” Yet despite such a chaotic blow to the economy of the supply chain capital of the world, US stock markets continued to mint new highs, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching an all time high on February 12th and the S&P500 following suit exactly one week later. On Monday, February 24th the damn started to break. Caitlin Long, founder of the crypto bank Avanti and 22 year Wall Street veteran said that COVID-19 was “starting to overwhelm the ability of central banks to solve this…You can’t solve a pandemic with liquidity. It’s just not going to work.” That week would get messier still. By the end of the week, which completed a 10% drop from just 10 days earlier, crypto trader Scott Melker said “This is a historic drop. This is something we haven’t seen since World War II.”By the first week in March, the Fed sprang into action, calling an emergency weekend meeting to announce a 50 bps rate cut. Unfortunately, the market did the opposite of what the Fed might have hoped. Delphi Digital macro analyst Kevin Kelly put it this way: “What last week’s rate cut did was confirm to equity investors what they didn’t want to admit to themselves: that this was a real risk and something the Federal Reserve was watching as a real threat to economic activity.”As true fear crept in to markets, stage was now set for a torrent of action and intervention. In this first episode of Money Reimagined, we look at:Why US markets took so long to reactHow the stock market became a political utilityWhy, even before the crisis, “increasingly exotic forms of quantitative easing” were inevitableWhy the bailouts have some investors accusing our entire market of being cronyism rather than capitalism What unlimited money printing means for the US dollar. The key question explored in this episode is what happens to the US dollar next? On the one hand, monetary stimulus like the world has never seen suggests that at some point, we should anticipate an inflationary environment. On the other, the dollar has done nothing but grow stronger compared to other currencies. How can both of these things be true simultaneously. For that, we turn to insights from Matthew Graham, Caitlin Long, Scott Melker, Kevin Kelly, Ben Hunt, Luke Gromen, Travis Kling, Mark Yusko, Anthony Pompliano, Jared Dillian, Dave Portnoy, Michael Casey, Preston Pysh, Peter ZeihanMusic by DJ J-Scrilla "Faith In My Money (Money Printer Go Brrr)" from the new “Sound Money” album.Produced by NLW and Adam B.

Upholding a complaint made by the United States, a World Trade Organization (WTO) panel ruled on Thursday that India’s export subsidies were illegal and should be removed. This was a crucial trade dispute, with WTO ordering all export promotion schemes in India to be stopped within the next four months. It also said the Special Economic Zones Scheme should be closed within the next six months. The US Trade Representative's Office said that the panel had agreed that India provided prohibited subsidies worth more than $7 billion a year to Indian exporters of steel products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, IT products and textiles. Outbound trade fell by 6.57 per cent in September, to a three-month low, with the trade decline plaguing major foreign exchange earners like processed crude oil, and gems and jewellery exporters.

In this episode you will hear: (6:04) In this week’s news, a Hechinger Report article "Embattled colleges focus on an obvious fix-helping students graduate on time”, by Jon Marcus. While most students expect to earn degrees in 4 years, fewer than half actually do. Marcus outlines the reasons why students are not graduating within 4 years – beyond financial reasons; what institutions are doing to address the issue, and why. (22:36) We are in Chapter 64 of 171 Answers and we’re talking about what admissions counselors look for in college specific essays. Mark and Anika have a discussion about why these college-specific essays and short answer questions are so important. Mark feels compelled to include a bonus section because this is our last discussion on college essays in our book chapter discussion portion of our podcast. We also discuss more than ten topics that students need to be very careful about, should they chose to write on these subjects. Mark shares how these controversial topics can lead a student to be seen as unlikeable in the eyes of the admission counselor. Mark explains the paramount importance of likeability. The other danger with these topics is that they run the risk of having the admission officer feel a lot of strong negative emotions. This discussion reveals how human and even subjective the process is with holistic admissions. (53:48) This week’s question asks about the new no-enrollment online options for college courses. Mark and Anika discuss what these programs are and who they are good for. We also discuss how they differ from traditional residential education for new high school graduates. (62:49) Mark concludes his interview with Anne Jean, a senior at Georgia State University, in the final part of ‘How to know if you are on the right career path’. Anne addressed what she did in high school to confirm that she is on the right career path, but in our final part, Anne discusses what she did in college to confirm that she is on the right career path. (73:58) Mark’s recommended resource of the week is a great blog article that will help any student with the famous, “Why us” essay. The blog article shows a few examples of very good “Why Us” essays for the University of Michigan and Tufts University. There are also some great other tips for these “College-Specific” essays. https://www.collegeessayguy.com/blog/why-this-college-essay.    Mark will be doing three one hour free webinars, including one on college-specific essays, to sign up, use the following link: https://www.revolutionprep.com/webinars/   Don’t forget to send your questions related to any and every facet of the college process to   Every episode of Your College-Bound Kid will align with a chapter from the book 171 Answers to the Most-Asked College Admission Questions.

This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, I speak with historian Rebecca Erbelding about her new book, Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe. It’s a fascinating book about a forgotten World War II story about the War Refugee Board, a US agency created in 1944 to help save European Jews from the Nazi genocide. Historians and other scholars have long argued that the US could have done more to disrupt the Nazi efforts to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Erbelding acknowledges the validity of this claim, but says that it’s not the same as saying the US did nothing. She chronicles the work of the War Refugee Board and how it managed, often through creative and off the books ways, to save tens of thousands of Jews in the last 20 months of World War II. In the course of our discussion, Rebecca Erbelding explains: Why US government officials initially resisted demands that it do something to save European Jews from the Nazi genocide. How the War Refugee Board was created by the US government in 1944 to save Jews from the Holocaust.  Why President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the creation of the War Refugee Board to save as many European Jews as possible during World War II.  How the US government used threats of post-war prosecution via propaganda to dissuade Europeans from carrying out atrocities against Jews.    How the War Refugee Board used deception to get food and medicine into Nazi concentration camps during World War II. How the Nazis, aware that Americans wanted to save Jews from the concentration camps, offered to release some in exchange for money, food, and war equipment. How the Goodyear Tire Company secretly helped the W.R.B. save thousands of lives during World War II.     Recommended reading:  Rebecca Erbelding, Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe  Deborah E.

Why US should support regional Kurds.

This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, we look at how in the decades before the Civil War, proslavery southerners dominated US foreign policy and promoted a vision of an ever expanding empire of slavery, both within the US but also throughout the western hemisphere. I’ll speak with historian Matthew Karp about his new book, This Vast Southern Empire: Slaveholders at the Helm of American Foreign Policy. Let’s start with some key background to this period. Between 1820 and 1860, the US was an emerging industrial power with the rise of factories, railroads, and large cities. But in those same years, the US enjoyed the status of the world’s most prominent slave holding society. Between 1820 and 1860, the population of enslaved people grew from 1.5 million to 4 million. Cotton production soared from 400,000 bales in 1820 to 4,000,000 bales in 1860. As southerners liked to say, Cotton was King. But while slavery grew more prominent and profitable, it also grew more controversial. The abolitionist movement grew more vocal in its condemnation of slavery. As it did so, it helped spark controversy after controversy in the 1830s through the 1840s and 1850s – controversies that often dominated national politics. Most of us remember some of the key ones: the Gag Rule, the Wilmot Proviso, the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, and the Dred Scott decision. Throughout these controversies over the future of slavery, proslavery southerners used their political influence to defend slavery and demand the right to extend it throughout the US. But as Matthew Karp makes clear in his book, these proslavery southerners did not confine to their vision of slavery’s future to the United States. They developed in these decades before the Civil War a bold and enthusiastic vision of slavery’s growth and expansion elsewhere in the world. And to make this vision a reality, proslavery southerners pushed for US territorial expansion. Hence, the war with Mexico in 1846 that allowed the US to seize what is now much of the western United States. Equally important, they also exerted their political power to use US foreign policy and military power to protect other slaveholding societies like Brazil, Cuba, and in the years before it was annexed by the US, the independent slaveholding republic of Texas. One of their top priorities was to thwart efforts by Great Britain to end the practice of slavery. For centuries, Great Britain was one of the world’s foremost participants in slavery and the international slave trade. But in the early 1830s, Great Britain abolished slavery in its empire and made global abolition a top foreign policy concern. This move infuriated proslavery southerners and made them suspect British plots at every turn - plots they were prepared to use US power to foil. So while proslavery southerners defended slavery and pushed for expansion within the United States, they also used American power to defend slavery in places far beyond US borders, and to push for its global expansion. Among the many things discussed in this episode:  How proslavery southerners shaped US foreign policy to protect slaveholding societies like Brazil and Cuba and to promote the global expansion of slavery. Why US proslavery policy versus British antislavery efforts resembled a 19th century Cold War. Why proslavery southerners feared Great Britain would push Texas to abolish slavery. How proslavery southerners were sectionalists in domestic policy, but nationalists in foreign affairs. How proslavery southerners rejected abolitionist claims that slavery was a relic of barbarism, arguing that history was on their side.

Paul is also the author of "The Perfect Investment - Creating Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing." The Perfect Investment teaches you… -The secrets used by the super-wealthy to attain and maintain their wealth over generations (and why you're not invited to their party). -Why multifamily investing scored 460% better than the stock market on a key risk vs. reward ratio. -Why investing in flips, single family rentals, and small apartments is a not a path to multi-generational wealth for the vast majority of people. -Why US demographics, the economy, and the fallout from the last recession have caused the perfect storm for the success of this asset class. -How multifamily investors “partner” with the IRS to reap significant profits while paying virtually no taxes. (Your CPA may not know these tax codes, but you need to!) Wellings Capital - Paul's Investment Company - an income-focused multifamily real estate investment firm centered on providing stable, yield-producing investments. WHY MULTIFAMILY: "THE LARGEST RENTAL GROUP New households aged 18 to 30 are being driven by the second largest demographic wave in US history: the Echo Boomers. The 76 million children and grandchildren of the Baby Boomers. In addition to this demographic group's sheer size, Echo Boomers are disenfranchised with the concept of home ownership. 75% of them are more likely to rent than own. THE SECOND LARGEST RENTAL GROUP The largest demographic group in US history: the Baby Boomers at 78 million strong. As this group transitions from homeownership to renting, they are likely to never own again. Additionally, the average lifespan continues to increase, thus extending this generation's rental demands." THE NATIONAL HOME OWNERSHIP RATIO Home ownership has rapidly declined from 69.2% in 2004 towards the mean of approximately 64% today. This homeowner displacement has driven, and will continue to drive, households out of residential owner-occupied property to renter-occupied apartments. ECONOMIES OF SCALE GO BIG OR GO HOME!!! Economies of Scale start at a very high level. GO PRO. Large properties have access to professional property management firms on a different scale than smaller properties." PAUL'S GREAT LESSON: In my personal life I am all about swinging for the fences. I love to invest in my family. I love to invest in relationships. I talk really loudly to strangers. I really want to care about people. As far as investing is concerned: I don't want to swing for the fences anymore. I used to believe in the double or nothing thing... the problem with that is the law of risk is commonly believed: low risk - low return, high risk - high return. We want to believe that! The truth is it is LOW RISK - LOW RETURN, HIGH RISK - HIGH POTENTIAL RETURN... HIGH POTENTIAL LOSS..." PAUL'S BIG WHY: "I want to thwart human trafficking and I want to rescue its victims... If you took the record profits of Nike, GM, Starbucks and Apple... combined them together and doubled it... That is the approximate annual revenue from Human Trafficking worldwide."

http://www.thegrio.com/2009/09/shamed-to-silence-war-against-hivaids.php According to data from the CDC, at the end of 2007, blacks accounted for almost half of the 1.1 million people living with HIV in America. Marline Hines works at New York City's oldest minority AIDS service organization, Faces, where she leads a women's support program called the Asha Project. Four hundred women have already passed through this program, which aims to help women address the emotional baggage that comes with the virus. The most common feeling? Shame. "Even in the process of role playing, they can't say it," Hines said. "Even though I'm not their daughter, it's hard for them to just say 'I'm positive.'" It's that kind of shame and secrecy that filmmaker Claudia Pryor witnessed while making the documentary, Why Us? Left Behind and Dying. "I learned that our internal secrecy and shame absolutely drives this in our community," Pryor told theGrio in a sit-down interview. "And probably the biggest thing I learned is that underlying that is a self-hatred and self-denigration that makes us feel that we are unworthy of being projected," Pryor said. "Why Us?" follows a group of inner-city Pittsburgh students as they investigate why HIV rates are so high in black communities. The students interviewed leading experts, people with the infection in their neighborhood, and activists, all while having their reactions to the study monitored. Tamira Noble is the narrator and was one of the students involved in the study. While working on this project, Noble learned that secrets hit close to home. "I didn't think I knew anyone with HIV, so it wasn't very personal," Noble said. "It became personal when I got involved because then all of these secrets started spilling from my own family. And that's when I found out that I had an uncle that died of HIV/AIDs. His name was Edward. I had never heard of him until I had started on this project. Then I found out one of my cousin also has HIV/AIDs and I wasn't even allowed to know this cousin until I joined this project." Keeping secrets under wraps is something Hines says is a value the black community has upheld for generations. "Black people has a culture that is southern, that is old-fashioned," Hines said. "What's said in the house, stays in the house." But those involved in getting the word out hope that despite this deep-seated tradition, their community will take ownership of their personal safety and get tested. "Just want people to see the film and get tested," Noble said. "I mean, if everyone could look it and learn something from it that's good. But if people learn from it and get tested then I've accomplished what we were trying to do.
