The Price of Freedom is an unflinching look at the gun violence epidemic in America and the role the National Rifle Association, with its outsized political and cultural influence, has played over time. The NRA believes the deaths of innocent Americans are a necessary price to pay for the freedom to own firearms without restrictions. By manipulating the narrative around guns and backing politicians who commit to upholding their agenda, the NRA has cost us far more than we realize. Featuring passionate pleas from President William J. Clinton, Representative Lucy McBath (D-GA) and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT); NRA Board Member and former NRA President David Keene, and activists on all sides of the issue, The Price of Freedom presents a compelling case for those brave enough to take a stand against the NRA in defense of our communities and collective future. Director Judd Ehrlich joins us for a conversation on how the NRA has abandoned its founding principles of promoting safe and responsible gun ownership through locally-based training programs into a shameless shill for gun manufacturers and more recently into a pernicious, corrosive and ruthlessly divisive political force in American culture and governance.

Today's episode is all about William Jefferson Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, the first baby boomer to hold the office, and indeed, the second youngest man ever elected president. Clinton's legacy is ongoing and a work in progress even now nearly thirty years since he took office. Changing political winds, changes within the democratic party in particular, a changing sensibility over welfare and the war on crime, and let's face it, a different sensibility of what constituted sexual harassment than was the case during the early 1990s have all changed how we view not only this period, but this man. And we're going to get into all of it today, as we rush forward through the 1990s across the bridge to the 21st century, with Bill Clinton, a complicated, fascinating, conundrum of a man, whose political enemies and allies alike nearly universally agree was the greatest natural politician of his generation—with perhaps the greatest unfulfilled promise. We began with Dr. Sarah Coleman, author of The Walls Within: The Politics of Immigration in Modern America, but more importantly, a much beloved alum of the CPH Post-doc program. We then turned the conversation to Dr. Carly Goodman, one of the nation's leading experts on the confusing but critical US Visa Lottery, and also a co-editor of the Washington Post's influential “Made by History” series. Together our guests illuminated two key themes. First, changes in immigration policy were changing the face of AmericaSecond, new media, in particular right wing media, responded with anxiety to that changing faceTo learn more, visit pastpromisepresidency.com.

Nachfolge für Ginsburg: Es wird eine skrupellose Entscheidung

Die liberale, oberste US-Richterin Ruth Bader Ginsburg ist tot. Um ihre Nachfolge ist ein erbitterter Kampf entbrannt. Wer sind Trumps Favoriten? Freitag ist Ruth Bader Ginsburg mit 87 Jahren an Krebs gestorben. Die brillante Juristin und Kämpferin für Gleichberechtigung war DIE Ikone des liberalen Amerikas. Jetzt ist ein erbitterter Kampf zwischen den Demokraten und ihrem Präsidentschaftskandidaten Joe Biden und den Republikanern und Präsident Donald Trump um ihre Nachfolge ausgebrochen. So eine Mehrheit von 96 zu 3 Stimmen, mit der Ginsburg 1993 vom Senat gewählt wurde, sei heute nicht mehr möglich, sagt US-Korrespondenten Christian Zaschke. Die Lager seien völlig zerstritten und die Auseinandersetzungen zutiefst verbittert. Die Mehrheit der neun Richter des Supreme Court sei eh schon konservativ. Die Gefahr aber sei, dass die konservative Mehrheit, über Jahre, wenn nicht Jahrzehnte, zementiert werden würde. So sei ausgemacht, dass zunächst Obamas Krankenversicherung und das Recht auf Abtreibung gekippt werden würden. Zaschke ist sich sicher, dass die Republikaner die Nachfolge von Ginsberg skrupellos und brutal regeln werden. Favoritinnen seien die Richterinnen Amy Coney Barrett und Barbara Lagoa. Barrett bediene mit ihren Ansichten die religiöse Rechte, Lagoa könne Trump mit ihrer kubanischen Herkunft im Swingstate Florida helfen. **Weitere Nachrichten:** Aktienverluste nach ENthüllungen von FinCEN-Files, München führt wieder stärkere Corona-Schutzmaßnahmen ein. **Weitere Nachrichten:** Rechtsextreme Polizei-Chat-Gruppen in NRW, Dritte Startbahn in München in weiter Ferne, verlängertes Kurzarbeitsgeld. **Moderation, Redaktion:** Lars Langenau **Redaktion:** Laura Terberl **Produktion:** Carolin Lenk _Zusätzliches Audiomaterial über die William J.

Emma and Chloe turn their attention to the USA, in a decade where America, for better or worse, defined the world order. They discuss the mixed achievements of Bill Clinton’s presidency, including the 1994 assault weapons ban that, while a huge success at the time was compromised by a ‘sunset clause’ that ensured no permanent change to American gun culture. They then consider Republican attempts to frustrate Clinton’s presidency, and the right-wing operatives who, after cameo appearances in the Clinton impeachment saga took leading roles in the Trump presidency. Finally, they look at how America remade the global economy in its own image, and in ways that served its own interests, and the market dogmatism that may now, finally, be unravelling in the liberal West.Dan Roberts, “Clintons continue to tout legacy where others see era of mistakes and scandal,” The Guardian, 22 May 2016.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/21/hillary-clinton-bill-90s-nostalgia-reform-scandalPatrick Andelic, “As it celebrates its 25th birthday, how does the Clinton administration look today?” The Conversation, 17 January 2018.https://theconversation.com/as-it-celebrates-its-25th-birthday-how-does-the-clinton-administration-look-today-89718German Lopez, “Joe Biden's controversial criminal justice record, explained,” Vox, 26 August 2015.https://www.vox.com/2015/8/26/9208983/joe-biden-black-lives-matter?__c=1Ron Elving, “The U.S. Once Had A Ban On Assault Weapons — Why Did It Expire?” NPR, 13 August 2019.https://www.npr.org/2019/08/13/750656174/the-u-s-once-had-a-ban-on-assault-weapons-why-did-it-expireEd Pilkington, “How the Drudge Report ushered in the age of Trump,” The Guardian, 25 January 2018.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/24/how-the-drudge-report-ushered-in-the-age-of-trumpDavid Smith, “Kenneth Starr, driver of Clinton impeachment, does about-face for Trump,” The Guardian, 28 January 2020https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jan/27/kenneth-starr-trump-impeachment-trialAndrew Chatzky, James McBride, and Mohammed Aly Sergie, “NAFTA and the USMCA: Weighing the Impact of North American Trade,” Council on Foreign Relations, 24 February 2020.https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/nafta-and-usmca-weighing-impact-north-american-tradeStephen Grenville, “No consensus on the Washington Consensus,” The Interpreter, 7 June 2017.https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/no-consensus-washington-consensus'Theme for Barely Getting' By' written and produced by Stuart Cullenhttp://stuartcullen.nethello@stuartcullen.netTony Blair, Madeleine Albright and Bill Clinton excerpts courtesy of The William J.
