US Vice President JD Vance revealed the Trump administration's "generational shift in [foreign] policy", emphasizing "great power competition" and preparation for war with China. They're abandoning soft power and focusing on "hard power" and "overwhelming force", in a return to blatant, 19th century-style imperialism. Ben Norton reports.

Dopo la fortunata serie “Tredici presidenti per raccontare l'America”, il prof. Mario Del Pero (Professore di Storia Internazionale presso SciencesPo, Parigi) e Riccardo Alcaro (Coordinatore delle Ricerche e responsabile del Programma Attori globali dello IAI) tornano con una nuova serie di podcast dal titolo “Conversazioni sull'America”. Le Conversazioni si concentrano su fatti di cronaca politica americana attuali per cercarne paralleli storici, mettendo in luce le continuità col passato ma anche le differenze dell'oggi. La seconda puntata si occupa del Manifest Destiny, la convinzione che gli Stati Uniti non potessero far altro che espandersi sul continente da costa a costa, alimentata da diverse correnti ideologiche. Al Manifest Destiny sono legati soprattutto i nomi di tre presidenti: James Polk, William McKinley e Theodore Roosevelt. In questo episodio i due autori si occupano del primo, James Polk, presidente democratico che tra il 1845 e il 1849, promosse l'annessione del Texas, l'acquisizione del Territorio dell'Oregon e la conquista, attraverso una guerra contro il Messico, del Southwest e della California A cura di Francesco De Leo.

In this episode we interview Tariq Khan on his book The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression.  We'll be releasing this conversation as a two part episode on this excellent book which studies how anticommunism within the US is deeply intertwined with settler colonialism, anti-indigenous thought, and genocidal violence. This helps us to reframe our often twentieth century centric view of anti-left repression in the US. Khan's work on the 19th century in particular also helps us to see the ways things like race science, eugenics, and phrenology were formed a backbone of the original assumptions of US policing, anti-anarchist repression, lynching, and regimes of deportation. Alongside and related to settler colonial violence against indigenous people, and anti-Black violence, we also through this conversation really get into how central the repression of anarchists in the 19th century was to the development of logics and technologies of anti-left repression in the so-called United States.  It is also important to see the resonance between US genocidal violence and state repression and that of the so-called State of Israel on Palestinians, something we explore a little bit more in part two of this discussion along with delving into William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt and more. This conversation was recorded this past December so we don't reference a lot of what has happened in the last couple of months, but pairing this conversation with a discussion we hosted on our YouTube channel a week ago with Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly (CBS) helps us to see how many things we are constantly told represent the crossing of new red lines, or the onset of a fascism that is foreign to the US, are actually foundational pillars of US statecraft, warfare and policing with very long histories.  On the subject of our YouTube channel, we have once again been very busy over there, releasing eight episodes over the last two weeks. We are only 13 subscribers away from 10,000 on our YouTube page, so now is a great time to sign up for free if you haven't, and help us to hit that milestone. And you can catch up on all the conversations we've had over there recently and over the past year and a half if you've been following us there. We also set-up a “Buy Me A Coffee” account which allows people to offer us one time support if they prefer doing that instead of the recurring contributions of patreon. You can support us in either place, and that is the only financial support we receive for these audio episodes, so we really appreciate whatever you can give to keep these conversations coming.  Music by Televangel  Guest bio: Dr. Tariq Khan is a historian with an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the intertwined forces underlying and shaping our social, political, economic, and cultural institutions. He has wide-ranging research, writing, and teaching experience in the fields of global capitalism, transnational studies, U.S. history, psychology, sociology, ethnicity & race studies, gender studies, colonialism & postcolonialism, labor & working-class history, radical social movements, history “from below,” public history, and community-based research and teaching. A few examples of his published works are his chapter “Living Social Dynamite: Early Twentieth-Century IWW-South Asia Connections,” in the book Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW,  his chapter “Frantz Fanon,” in the forthcoming anthology Fifty Key Scholars in Black Social Thought, and his new book The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression

Dat is Tordoirs eerste antwoord als je hem vraagt de actuele toestand van de wereldeconomie en financiën te beschrijven. De crux daarvan is het besef, dat deze handelsoorlog niet alleen irrationeel lijkt, maar vooral ook de essentiële basis van de relaties tussen naties heeft weggeslagen. Vertrouwen.De feitelijke grondslag ervan noemt hij ronduit ‘krankzinnig'. Het zou hem niet eens verbazen als een jonge assistent van Elon Musk met behulp van ChatGTP de berekeningen heeft gedaan. Ergens midden in de nacht.Of de president een plan heeft? Dat blijft ongrijpbaar. Trump heeft vier soorten rivaliserende adviseurs en zij strijden permanent om aandacht en instemming. Wie hij volgt is steeds weer een verrassing. De ingrepen van dit moment veroorzaken hoe dan ook een forse sprong in de inflatie en daar is Amerika in 't geheel niet op voorbereid.In plaats van een impuls aan industrialisatie en bloei die onder Joe Biden in gang was gezet, beschadigen Trumps tarieven de positieve wending op juist dit punt. Doelwit zijn de EU – “it was started to screw us” - en vooral China. Xi Jinpings bewind is economisch, geopolitiek en ideologisch de grote opponent.Sander Tordoir duikt diep in de contrasten tussen de strategie en economie van Amerika en China. Xi zal moeten kiezen tussen opjagen van de binnenlandse vraag en consumptie; dumping van de enorme overschotten van exportproducten als auto's en machines; of devaluatie van de Chinese munt. En dat laatste is zeer riskant.Dit raakt natuurlijk direct die andere wereldmacht in de handel, de Europese Unie. Samen optrekken tegen Trump met China zal stuurmanskunst vereisen, vooral van Ursula von der Leyen en de nieuwe Duitse regering van Friedrich Merz. 'Rebalancing' is nu het motto: een meer evenwichtige handelsrelatie bereiken waarmee beiden met succes Amerika kunnen weerstaan.De gedurfde expansie van de aanpak van CDU en SPD (met hulp van De Groenen) is precies wat nu nodig is en helpt ook de EU.Duitsland trekt intussen op met Frankrijk, Polen en ook het Verenigd Koninkrijk – alsof de Brexit er nooit was. Alles pleit ervoor dat de sterk geïntegreerde Nederlandse en Duitse economie hier zoveel mogelijk samen doen. Maar Nederland staat met het kabinet-Schoof in Europa volstrekt geïsoleerd. "De motie-Eerdmans is ook in Berlijn een begrip; en niet gunstig."De Schoof-coalitie is onderwijl bezig met een 'mini-formatie' rond de Voorjaarsnota en munt uit in onderling wantrouwen. Maar discussies over staatsschuld inzetten voor koopkrachtgeschenken of consumptieve uitgaven zijn irrelevant. Investeringen in defensie en de concrete stappen uit het rapport-Draghi vormen nu de agenda, onderstreept Sander Tordoir. De EU moet bovendien de gestagneerde Interne Markt in fiks tempo vlottrekken en voltooien. Dat levert meer dynamiek en groei op dan de schade die Trump kan aanrichten.***Verder luisteren495 - De zeven burgeroorlogen van Dick Schoof490 – Duitslands grote draai.

This week we talk about taxes, reciprocity, and recession.We also discuss falling indices, stagflation, and theories of operation.Recommended Book: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall KimmererTranscriptStagflation, which is a portmanteau of stagnation and inflation, is exactly what it sounds like: a combination of those two elements, usually with high levels of unemployment, as well, that can cause a prolonged period of economic sluggishness and strain that slows growth and can even lead to a recession.The term was coined in the UK in the 1960s to describe issues they were facing at the time, but it was globally popularized by the oil shocks of the 1970s, which sparked a period of high prices and slow growth in many countries, including in the US, where inflation boomed, productivity floundered, and economic growth plateaud, leading to a stock market crash in 1973 and 1974.Inflation, unto itself, can be troubling, as it means prices are going up faster than incomes, so the money people earn and have saved is worth less and less each day. That leads to a bunch of negative knock-on effects, which is a big part of why the US Fed has kept interest rates so high, aiming to trim inflation rates back to their preferred level of about 2% as quickly as possible in the wake of inflation surges following the height of the Covid pandemic.Stagnant economic growth is also troubling, as it means lowered GDP, reduced future outlook for an economy, and that also tends to mean less investment in said economy, reduced employment levels—and likely even lower employment levels in the future—and an overall sense of malaise that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, no one feeling particularly upbeat about where their country is going; and that's not great economically, but it can also lead to all sorts of social issues, as people with nothing to look forward to but worse and worse outcomes are more likely to commit crimes or stoke revolutions than their upbeat, optimistic, comfortable kin.The combination of these two elements is more dastardly than just the sum of their two values implies, though, as measures that government agencies might take to curb inflation, like raising interest rates and overall tightening monetary policy, reduces business investment which can lead to unemployment. On the flip-side, though, things a government might do to reduce unemployment, like injecting more money into the economy, tends to spike inflation.It's a lose-lose situation, basically, and that's why government agencies tasked with keeping things moving along steadily go far out of their way to avoid stagflation; it's not easily addressed, and it only really goes away with time, and sometimes a very long time.There are two primary variables that have historically led to stagflation: supply shocks and government policies that reduce output and increase the money supply too rapidly.The stagflation many countries experienced in the 1970s was the result of Middle Eastern oil producing nations cutting off the flow of oil to countries that supported Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, though a sharp increase in money supply and the end of the Bretton Woods money management system, which caused exchange rate issues between global currencies, also contributed, and perhaps even more so than the oil shock.What I'd like to talk about today is another major variable, the implementation of a huge package of new tariffs on pretty much everyone by the US, that many economists are saying could lead to a new period of stagflation, alongside other, more immediate consequences.—A tariff is a type of tax that's imposed on imported goods, usually targeting specific types of goods, or goods from a particular place.Way back in the day these were an important means of funding governments: the US government actually made most of its revenue, about 90% of it, from tariffs before 1863, because there just wasn't a whole of lot other ways for the young country to make money at the time.Following the War of 1812, the US government attempted to double tariffs, but that depleted international trade, which led to less income, not more—gross imports dropped by 71%, and the government scrambled to implement direct and excise taxes, the former of which is the tax a person or business pays that isn't based on transactions, while the latter is a duty that's paid upon the manufacture of something, as opposed to when it's sold.Tariffs resurfaced in the following decades, but accounted for less and less of the government's income as the country's manufacturing base increased, and excise and income taxes made up 63% of the US's federal revenue by 1865.Tax sources have changes a lot over the years, and they vary somewhat from country to country.But the dominant move in the 20th century, especially post-WWII, has been toward free trade, which usually means no or low tariffs on goods being made in one place and sold in another, in part because this tends to lead to more wealth for everyone, on average, at least.This refocus toward globalized free trade resulted in a lot of positives, like being able to specialize and make things where they're cheap and sell them where they're precious, but also some negatives, like the offshoring of jobs—though even those negatives, which sucked for the people who lost their jobs, have been positive for some, as the companies who offshored the jobs did so because it saved them money, the folks who were hired were generally paid more than was possible in their region, previously, and the people consuming the resulting goods were able to get them cheaper than would otherwise be feasible.It's been a mixed bag, then, but the general consensus among economists is that open trade is good because it incentivizes competition and productivity. Governments are less likely to implement protectionist policies to preserve badly performing local business entities from better performing foreign versions of the same, and that means less wasted effort and resources, more options for everyone, and more efficient overall economic operation, which contributes to global flourishing. And not for nothing, nations that trade with each other tend to be less likely to go to war with each other.Now that's a massively simplified version of the argument, but again, that's been the outline for how things are meant to work, and aside from some obvious exceptions—like China's protection of its local tech sector from foreign competition, and the US's protection of its aviation and car industries—it's generally worked as intended, and the world has become massively wealthier during this period compared to before this state of affairs was broadly implemented, post-WWII; there's simply no comparison, the difference is stark.There are renewed concerns about stagflation in the United States, however, because of a big announcement made by US President Trump on April 2, 2025, that slapped substantial and at times simply massive new tariffs on just about everyone, including the country's longest-term allies and most valuable trading partners.On what the president called “Liberation Day,” he announced two new types of tariff: one is a universal 10% import duty on all goods brought into the US, and another that he called a reciprocal tariff on imports from scores of countries, including 15 that will be hit especially hard—a list that includes China, EU nations, Canada, and Japan, among others.The theory of these so-called reciprocal tariffs is that Trump thinks the US is being taken advantage of, as, to use one example that he cited, the US charges a 2.5% tariff on imported cars, while the EU charges a 10% tariff on American cars imported to their union.The primary criticism of this approach, which has been cited by most economists and entities like the World Trade Organization, is that the numbers the US administration apparently used to make this list don't really add up, and seem to include some made-up measures of trade deficits, which some analysts suspect were calculated by AI tools like ChatGPT, as the same incorrect measures are spat out by commonly use chatbots like ChatGPT when they're asked about how to balance these sorts of things. But the important takeaway, however they arrived at these numbers, is that the comparisons used aren't really sensical when you look at the details.Some countries simply can't afford American exports, for instance, while others have no use for them. The idea that a country that can't afford American goods should have astoundingly large tariffs applied to their exports to the US is questionable from the get-go, but it also means the goods they produce, which might be valuable and important for Americans, be they raw materials like food or manufactured goods like car parts, will become more expensive for Americans, either because those Americans have to pay a higher price necessitated by the tax, or because the lower-price supplier is forced out of the market and replaced by a higher-price alternative.In short, the implied balance of these tariffs don't line up with reality, according to essentially everyone except folks working within Trump's administration, and the question then is what the actual motivation behind them might be.The Occam's Razor answer is that Trump and/or people in his administration simply don't understand tariffs and global economics well enough to understand that their theory on the matter is wrong. And many foreign leaders have said these tariffs are not in any way reciprocal, and that the calculation used to draw them up was, in the words of Germany's economic minister, “nonsense.” That's the general consensus of learned people, and the only folks who seem to be saying otherwise are the one's responsible for drawing these tariffs up, and defending them in the press.Things have been pretty stellar for most of the global economy since free trade became the go-to setup for imports and exports, but this administration is acting as if the opposite is true. That might be a feigned misunderstanding, or it might be genuine; they might truly not understand the difference between how things have been post-WWII and how they were back in the 1800s when tariffs were the go-to method of earning government revenue.But in either case, Trump is promising that rewiring the global order, the nature of default international trade in this way, will be good for Americans because rather than serving as a linchpin for that global setup, keeping things orderly by serving as the biggest market in the world, the American economy will be a behemoth that gets what it's owed, even if at the expense of others—a winner among losers who keep playing because they can't afford not to, rather than a possibly slightly less winning winner amongst other winners.This theory seems to have stemmed from a 1980s understanding of things, which is a cultural and economic milieu from which a lot of Trump's views and ideas seem to have originated, despite in many cases having long since been disproved or shown to be incomplete. But it's also a premise that may be more appealing to very wealthy people, because a lot of the negative consequences from these tariffs will be experienced by people in lower economic classes and people from poorer nations, where the price hikes will be excruciating, and folks in the middle class, whose wealth is primarily kept in stocks. Folks in the higher economic echolons, including those making most of these decisions, tend to make and build their wealth via other means, which won't be entirely unimpacted, but will certainly be less hurt by these moves than everyone else.It's also possible, and this seems more likely to me, but it's of course impossible to know the truth of the matter right now, that Trump is implementing a huge version of his go-to negotiating tactic of basically hurting the folks on the other end of a negotiation in order to establish leverage over them, and then starting that negotiation by asking what they'll do for him if he limits or stops the pain.The US is expected to suffer greatly from these tariffs, but other countries, especially those that rely heavily on the US market as their consumer base, and in some cases for a huge chunk of their economy, their total GDP, will suffer even more.There's a good chance many countries, in public or behind closed doors, will look at the numbers and decide that it makes more sense to give Trump and his administration something big, up front, in exchange for a lessening of these tariffs. That's what seems to be happening with Vietnam, already, and Israel, and there's a good chance other nations have already put out feelers to see what he might want in exchange for some preferential treatment in this regard—early reports suggest at least 50 governments have done exactly that since the announcement, though those reports are coming from within the White House, so it's probably prudent to take them with a grain of salt, at this point. That said, this sort of messaging from the White House suggests that the administration might be hoping for a bunch of US-favoring deals and will therefore make a lot of noise about initial negotiations to signal that that's what they want, and that the pain can go away if everyone just kowtows a little and gestures at some new trade policies that favor the US and make Trump look like a master negotiator who's bringing the world to heel.There's been pushback against this potentiality, however, led by China, which has led with its own, very large counter-tariffs rather than negotiating, and the EU looks like it might do the same. If enough governments do this, it could call Trump's bluff while also making these other entities, perhaps especially China, which was first out the door with counter-tariffs and statements about not be cowed by the US's bluster, seem like the natural successors to the US in terms of global economic leadership. It could result in the US giving away all that soft power, basically, and that in turn could realign global trade relationships and ultimately other sorts of relationships, too, in China's favor.One other commonly cited possibility, and this is maybe the grimmest of the three, but it's not impossible, is that Trump and other people in his administration recognize that the world is changing, that China is ascendent and the US is by some metrics not competing in the way it needs to in order to keep up and retain its dominance, and that's true in terms of things like manufacturing and research, but also the potential implications of AI, changing battlefield tactics, and so on. And from that perspective, it maybe makes sense to just shake the game board, knocking over all the pieces rather than trying to win by adhering to what have become common conventions and normal rules of play.If everyone takes a hit, if there's a global recession or depression and everything is knocked asunder because those variables that led to where we are today, with all their associated pros and cons, are suddenly gone, that might lead to a situation in which the US is hurt, but not as badly as everyone else, including entities like China. And because the US did the game board shaking, the US may thus be in a better position as everything settles back into a new state of affairs; a new state of affairs that Trump and his people want to be more favorable to the US, long-term.There's some logic to this thinking, even if it's a very grim, me-first, zero-sum kind of logic. The US economy is less reliant on global trade than the rest of the G20, the wealthiest countries in the world; only about 25% of its GDP is derived from trade, while that number is 37% for China, 63% for France, and a whopping 88% for Germany.Other nations are in a relatively more vulnerable position than the US in a less-open, more tariff-heavy world, then, and that means the US administration may have them over a barrel, making the aforementioned US-favoring negotiations more likely, but also, again, potentially just hurting everyone, but the US less so. And when I say hurting, I mean some countries losing a huge chunk of their economy overnight, triggering a lot more poverty, maybe stagflation and famines, and possibly even revolutions, as people worldwide experience a shocking and sudden decrease in both wealth and future economic outlook.Already, just days after Trump announced his tariffs, global markets are crashing, with US markets on track to record its second-worst three-day decline in history, after only the crash of 1987—so that's worse than even the crashes that followed 9/11, the Covid-19 pandemic, the debt crisis, and many others.Foreign markets are doing even worse, though, with Hong Kong's recently high-flying Hang Seng falling 13% in trading early this week, and Japan's Nikkei dropping 8%.Other market markers are also dropping, the price of oil falling to a pandemic-era level of $60 per barrel, Bitcoin losing 10% in a day, and even the US dollar, which theoretically should rise in a tariff scenario, dropping 0.1%—which suggests investors are planning for a damaging recession, and the US market and currency as a whole might be toxic for a while; which could, in turn, lead to a boom for the rest of the world, the US missing out on that boom.There are also simpler theories, I should mention, that tariffs may be meant to generate more profits to help pay for Trump's expanded tax cuts without requiring he touch the third-rails of Medicare or Social Security, or that they're meant to address the US's booming debt by causing investors to flee to Treasury bills, which has the knock-on effect of reducing the interest rates that have to be paid on government debt.That flight toward Treasuries is already happening, though it seems to be primarily because investors are fleeing the market as stocks collapse in value and everyone's worrying about their future, about stagflation, and about mass layoffs and unemployment.It may be that all or most of these things are true, too, by the way, and that this jumble of events, pros and cons alike, are seen as a net-positive by this administration.For what it's worth, too, the US Presidency doesn't typically get to set things like tariffs—that's congress' responsibility and right. But because Congress is currently controlled by Republicans, they've yet to push back on these tariffs with a veto, and they may not. There are rumblings within the president's party about this, and a lot of statements about how it'll ultimately be good, but that maybe they would have done things differently, but there hasn't been any real action yet, just hedging. And that could remain the case, but if things get bad enough, they could be forced by their constituents to take concrete action on the matter before Trump's promised, theoretical positive outcomes have the chance to emerge, or not.Show Noteshttps://www.everycrsreport.com/files/20060925_RL33665_4a8c6781ce519caa3e6b82f95c269f73021c5fdf.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/03/31/tariffs-affect-consumer-spending/https://www.wsj.com/tech/exempt-or-not-the-chip-industry-wont-escape-tariffs-a6c771dbhttps://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/goldman-sachs-lifts-u-s-recession-probability-to-35-ce285ebchttps://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-9d85eb00-1184-11f0-8b11-0da1ebc288e3.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-democrats-economy-protests-financial-markets-90afa4079acbde1deb223adf070c1e98https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/trade-war-explodes-across-world-at-pace-not-seen-in-decades-0b6d6513https://www.mufgamericas.com/sites/default/files/document/2025-04/The-Long-Shadow-of-William-McKinley.pdfhttps://x.com/krishnanrohit/status/1907587352157106292https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/business/trump-stocks-tariffs-trade.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/opinion/trump-tariffs-theories.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/world/asia/vietnam-trump-tariff-delay.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/world/europe/trade-trump-tariffs-brexit.htmlhttps://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2025/04/why-do-domestic-prices-rise-with-tarriffs.htmlhttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/how-we-got-liberation-day-look-trumps-past-comments-tariffshttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/trumps-tariff-strategy-can-be-traced-back-to-the-1980s/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/us/politics/trump-tv-stock-market.htmlhttps://www.hudsonbaycapital.com/documents/FG/hudsonbay/research/638199_A_Users_Guide_to_Restructuring_the_Global_Trading_System.pdfhttps://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/over-50-countries-push-for-tariff-revisions-will-donald-trump-compromise-heres-what-the-white-house-said/articleshow/120043664.cmshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/business/stock-market-plunge-investment-bank-impact.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-trump-tariffs-trade-war-04-07-25https://www.wsj.com/world/china/china-trump-tariff-foreign-policy-6934e493https://www.wsj.com/economy/in-matter-of-days-outlook-shifts-from-solid-growth-to-recession-risk-027eb2b4https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Asia-Pacific-stocks-sink-from-Trump-s-tariff-barrage-Hong-Kong-down-13https://www.reuters.com/markets/eu-seeks-unity-first-strike-back-trump-tariffs-2025-04-06/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/07/trump-presidency-news-tariffs/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/world/asia/china-trade-war-tariffs.htmlhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-04-07/global-rout-carries-whiff-of-panic-as-trump-holds-fast-on-tariffshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagflationhttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/economists-fed-recent-projections-signal-120900777.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_stagnation This is a public episode.

A imagem de Trump com uma coroa, partilhada pela Casa Branca, é apenas simbólica? Ou revela uma mudança de natureza no sistema político americano? Os Estados Unidos são o grande laboratório da democracia liberal — mas até onde resiste essa experiência quando posta à prova pelo fenómeno Trump? Neste episódio do Perguntar Não Ofende, exploramos as tensões entre instituições e populismo, entre legalidade e liderança carismática, num sistema pensado para resistir a tudo, menos talvez ao culto do líder. Com José Gomes André, doutorado em Filosofia Política, analisamos o trumpismo à luz da tradição constitucional dos EUA, o papel do Supremo Tribunal como guardião do equilíbrio de poderes, e refletimos sobre o paralelismo europeu: poderá a UE aspirar a um momento constituinte ou estará refém do seu próprio modelo tecnocrático? Uma conversa sobre democracia, federalismo e os desafios do nosso tempo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump's "Liberation Day" unveiling of sweeping tariffs on just about everything imported into the United States pushed the world to the brink of a potentially destructive trade war. One of Trump's apparent aims is to coerce Canada into becoming an American state. This has been tried before! In this episode, University of Exeter historian Marc Palen takes us back to the 1890s when American leaders tried to make Canada bend to U.S. economic coercion through protective tariff rates. The McKinley tariff was named after Congressman William McKinley, "the Napoleon of protection." The punitive tariff didn't work: Canada drew closer to Great Britain, and the Republicans were shellacked in the midterm elections of November 1890.

It's our first "Short Rant," where we'll relate current events to history! These are videos posted on our YouTube and TIkTok accounts and the audio will be available here within a day.President Trump announced "Liberation Day" on April 2, 2025 with broad and sweeping tariffs that are causing stock market panic and layoffs even in the earliest days. His case for high tariffs are good policy are based on his admiration for the 25th President, William McKinley. But Trump is either ignorant of or lying about the truth about American tariff policies in the late 19th century. If history is any predictor of future events, bad things are in store both for the economy and to Republicans' future electoral chances.

The September 6, 1901, assassination of President William McKinley by self-professed anarchist Leon Czolgosz triggered a nationwide political backlash against the killer's like-minded political adherents. It also served as the catalyst for the expansion of nascent federal government surveillance capabilities used against not only anarchists but socialists and members of other social or political movements that were challenging the prevailing political, economic, and social paradigms of the day. And it was the ensuing, decades-long persistent exaggerations of domestic political threats from those movements that drove an exponential increase in the frequency and scale of unlawful government surveillance and related political repression against hundreds of thousands of individual Americans and civil society organizations.The Triumph of Fear is a history of the rise and expansion of surveillance-enabled political repression in America from the late 1890s to early 1961. Drawing on declassified government documents (many obtained via dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits) and other primary sources, Cato Institute senior fellow Patrick Eddington offers historians, legal scholars, political leaders, and general readers surprising new revelations about the scope of government surveillance programs and how this domestic spying helped fuel federal assaults on free speech and association that continue to this day. Join us for a conversation about the book with Eddington led by Caleb Brown, Cato's director of multimedia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

De cultuuroorlog tegen 'woke' heeft een nieuw front geopend. President Donald Trump en zijn MAGA-achterban valt alles en iedereen aan die 'Diversity', 'Equity' en 'Inclusion' (DEI) wezenlijk vindt. Overheden, scholen, organisaties en bedrijven worden onder druk gezet een eind te maken aan dit beleid. Zelfs tot in Europa.Maar het gaat nog veel dieper, analyseren Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger in deze aflevering van Betrouwbare Bronnen.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Het ware Amerika is MAGA-Amerika. Juist nu '250 jaar Verenigde Staten' feestelijk gevierd gaat worden, brouwt Trump van ideologie, politieke rancune en herschrijving van de geschiedenis een giftig mengsel.Politiek werd dit al merkbaar in de verkiezingscampagne waarin Trump zijn tegenkandidaat Kamala Harris denigrerend wegzette als een 'DEI hire', een kandidaat die zonder eigen verdiensten en kwaliteiten, die op grond van haar 'identiteit' mende een gooi te mogen doen naar het presidentschap. "Wie denkt zij wel dat ze is?" is een kreet die in heel dit anti-DEI-beleid doorklinkt over heel veel Amerikaanse medeburgers.De toepassing daarvan in een aanval op het zeer diverse historische beeld van de natie van immigranten uit heel de wereld is dan ook heftig. En dit hangt niet toevallig aan elkaar van 'symboolpolitiek'. Voorop gaat het ministerie van Defensie, het Pentagon van minister Pete Hegseth. Daar worden patriotisme en heroïek uit vele generaties bijna letterlijk witgewassen. Jaap en PG vertellen over het wegpoetsen van nationale iconen als de 'Navajo Code Talkers', 'Tuskegee Airmen' en Colin Powell.Minstens zozeer symboolpolitiek is Trumps droom van een beeldentuin voor nationale helden: 250 bronzen portretten. De reacties zijn furieus, het plan is allesbehalve doordacht. Essentieel voor de Trumpisten is natuurlijk dat de president – en alleen hij – bepaalt wie de eretitel van 'held' verdient. PG weet wel wie deze bronzen helden zou kunnen maken, trouwens.Het kapen van 'het ware Amerika' gebeurt nergens zo grof als in Washington DC zelf. Trump neemt twee nationale cultuurcentra in de houdgreep.Het Smithsonian Institution, het gebouw van het nationale symfonieorkest, de nationale opera, dans- en jazzgezelschappen, alsmede de koepel van liefst 21 musea voor kunst, cultuur en historie van Amerika. De musea worden onder druk gezet - net nu dat grote nationale jubileum van 2026 voorbereid wordt met tentoonstellingen en evenementen - hun koers en geschiedbeeld aan MAGA aan te passen. Zo niet dan dreigt hij dat ze tweederde van hun budget kwijtraken. Een signaal voor de musea en culturele centra in alle 50 staten. Een coup d'état der symboolpolitiek.In het Kennedy Center is die coup nog ongeremder. Trump heeft zichzelf tot voorzitter benoemd en de directie en het bestuur vervangen door gehoorzame geestverwanten. Grote kunstenaars als Renée Fleming hebben ontredderd hun verbintenis met het cultuurcentrum verbroken.De bijzondere geschiedenis van het Kennedy Center maakt zo'n machtsgreep des te navranter. De jonge president en zijn vrouw Jackie hebben alles in het werk gezet om Washington en Amerika zo'n culturele parel te schenken. Na de moord in Dallas was het president Lyndon Johnson die het Kennedys naam schonk en zorgde dat het kunstpaleis nu toch echt gebouwd werd.Waarom deze aanval op historie en beschaving? Jaap en PG zien vooral angstdromen; vrees voor 'omvolking' en veranderingen door verlies van wat vertrouwd was; de eigen trots en identiteit.Er klinkt een opvallende nostalgie in door die Amerika eerder beleefde bij de verering van 'The Lost Cause'. De nostalgie naar het verslagen Zuiden en zijn aristocratische levensstijl van slavenhouders en lijfeigenen. Trump en MAGA zijn eigenlijk helemaal geen Republicans, de partij van Abraham Lincoln, maar veeleer zuidelijke Democrats uit de jaren 1875-1925.***Verder luisteren476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor289 - Donald Trump als gevaar voor de democratie - Joe Biden en zijn strijd voor de ziel van Amerika121 - 4th of July special: Zakenlui als president van Amerika319 - Lyndon B.

What if Donald Trump's strange fixation on William McKinley isn't just historical trivia, but the key to understanding what happens next? On this WhoWhatWhy podcast, long-time journalist and author Chris Lehmann argues we're not necessarily headed for authoritarian collapse — we're rewinding to the Gilded Age. How might McKinley's transformation from economic nationalist to global imperialist more than a century ago foreshadow Trump's second term? Lehmann explores the forces that shaped McKinley's presidency and how similar dynamics are at play today, from the influence of wealthy backers to the quest for historical legacy.

Let's take a deep dive into one of Trump's lesser-discussed obsessions: expansionism—his fascination with adding territory to the U.S. and taking over other countries. From floating the idea of buying Greenland to making eyebrow-raising comments about Canada and the Panama Canal, it's not just bluster—it's rooted in something deeper. Don explores how this imperial fantasy traces back to Trump's admiration for President William McKinley, a leader best known for overseas expansion and empire-building. What does this say about Trump's worldview—and the kind of power he's really after? It's more than nostalgia—it's a warning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Coming March 23 to The Paracast: Gene and cohost Tim Swartz explore some of the most compelling conspiracy theories of all with John Koerner, author of "The Four Guns: The Stolen History of the Assassinated Presidents," which focuses on the lost or hidden details of the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and, of course, John F. Kennedy. He'll also talk about how history was changed due to these tragedies. Koerner is a professor of Social Sciences at SUNY Erie Community College in Buffalo, New York. He has previously appeared on America's Book of Secrets, William Shatner's Weird or What, and Coast to Coast AM. John's other books include "Why The CIA Killed JFK and Malcolm X: The Secret Drug Trade in Laos," and "Exploding the Truth: The JFK, Jr. Assassination."

In the first half, author John Koerner joined guest host Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss the untold history surrounding the assassinations of four US presidents—Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy.Koerner highlighted lesser-known details about Lincoln's assassination, noting that John Wilkes Booth carried two Derringers, though only one is officially documented. Booth may have deliberately bought the weapon from a Philadelphia dealer named Abraham on Lincoln's birthday. He suggested Booth had ties to the Confederate Secret Service in Canada, possibly with British involvement, and questioned why this link isn't widely discussed. Koerner also examined security lapses, particularly Lincoln's guard's failure, and theories about Edwin Stanton aiding Booth's escape. Rumors persist that Booth survived rather than dying in a Virginia barn, he noted. Koerner speculated that Lincoln's second term could have advanced civil rights, potentially preventing the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.He argued that Garfield's assassination, though often overlooked, was pivotal in American history. A Civil War veteran, Garfield aimed to advance civil rights and reform corruption. His assassin, Charles Guiteau, used a British Bulldog revolver, but four of five bullets were defective. The weapon later vanished, fueling cover-up theories, Koerner revealed. Guiteau may have been manipulated by political forces, as Garfield's aides received a warning three days prior. Koerner suggested that figures like Senator Roscoe Conkling, who opposed Garfield's reforms, may have benefited from his death. Garfield's survival could have reshaped American democracy by revitalizing Reconstruction and dismantling corrupt political machines.Koerner drew parallels between McKinley's assassination and those of Garfield and JFK, noting all three could have survived without a second shot. McKinley was shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz, who had mysteriously acquired large sums of money before the attack. Suspicious elements include a man known only as "the Italian" distracting security and the disappearance of key photographic evidence and the murder weapon, he explained. Koerner pointed out that McKinley's pro-business stance made him a target, as his successor, Theodore Roosevelt, aggressively pursued trust-busting and foreign policy changes, hinting that McKinley's death may have shifted America's direction.Regarding JFK's assassination, Koerner questioned the official narrative, particularly the rifle used. Initial reports identified a German Mauser, later changed to an Italian Mannlicher-Carcano, which was adjusted for a left-handed shooter, though Lee Harvey Oswald was right-handed. The timeline of Oswald's actions is also disputed, as he was inside a theater when Officer J.D. Tippit was killed. A paraffin test found no gunpowder on Oswald's cheek, suggesting he hadn't fired a rifle. Koerner linked Kennedy's death to conflicts with financial and oil interests, comparing it to Lincoln and Jackson's opposition to centralized banking, implying JFK was targeted for political and economic reasons rather than by a lone gunman.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with David McWilliams, Irish economist and writer, to discuss Trump's interest in the presidency of William McKinley. Then, she speaks with Lily Greenberg Call, former political appointee in the Biden administration, to discuss the recent developments in the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. First, Emma runs through updates on the Senate's vote on cloture and the Continuing Resolution, Trump's mass layoffs, the gutting of the DOE, Trump's trade war with Europe, the falling stock market, Trump's failed nomination for CDC director, Tim Walz's political tour, the UN's independent inquiry into Israel's genocide, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Mayor of Miami's crackdown on free speech, and the attack on the IRS, before expanding on the ongoing fight within the US Senate to block the GOP's partisan Continuing Resolution which would effectively neuter Congress amid Trump's reign, and watching Markwayne Mullin accidentally give away the game on Trump's tariff war. David McWilliams then dives right into the historical context for Trump's obsession with William McKinley – 25th President of the United States – highlighting how the election of McKinley in 1896 served as a major turning point in the evolution of the Gilded Age, as a culmination of a populist push against growing economic consolidation amid increasing culture war and a rapidly growing (and changing) working class with an influx of European immigration, and the very clear parallels with how Trump is handling the similarities in this moment, from his alignment with the monopolists and oligarchs of the time, to his obsession with small territorial acquisitions while pushing an isolaitonist economic agenda. After touching on the end to McKinley with his assassination in 1901 and the major role his Vice President Teddy Roosevelt would play in pushing back against the political takeover of robber barons and monopolists, putting a bit of a damper on potential parallels to the Big Tech-backed JD Vance, McWilliams walks Emma through McKinley's expansive project to bolster the pockets of his wealthy donors, from cementing the shift to a gold standard (crypto reserve anyone?!) and bolstering rail monopoly at the expense of America's farming majority, to the inception of lobbying with the backing of his 1896 campaign by notorious businessman Mark Hanna (Musk), who would rally the wealthy elite behind McKinley to change the facts on the ground. Having briefly expanded on McKinley's imperial agenda, and the particular role it plays in creating an atmosphere of chaos to mask the kleptocracy at work, David looks to the extreme lengths Trump has taken McKinley tariff regime, applying them to quite literally every close ally the US has in such a drastic manner it offers little explanation outside of in-group speculation while the economy as a whole collapses. They wrap up the interview by touching on the role McKinleyism and the Gilded Age played in spurring the emergence of the US labor movement under FDR. Lily Greenberg-Call then joins as she and Emma parse through the abduction and detainment of Columbia University activist and Greencard holder/permanent US resident Mahmoud Khalil over his speech in support of a free Palestine, reflecting on the vast distance between the response Chuck Schumer gave – largely defending Israel and denouncing Khalil's speech – and that of Chris Murphy – who cites the criminalization of speech that goes against Trump's agenda in contrast with the happy embrace of explicitly Nazi speech. Next, they dissect the particularly disgusting way in which antisemitism has been abused over this fight, from the White House's explicit references to judaism in their flaunting of this authoritarian overstep, to the fact that the statute they're using to defend their action is grounded in the antisemitic McCarthyist movement, and the value of seeing Jewish Americans stand up and fight for Mahmoud Khalil's rights, wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the need to keep that momentum going, showing up in the streets to fight for Khalil and any other victims of the Trump regime. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack dweebs Tim Pool and Russell Brand's fear of a real punk rock lifestyle (shoutout Against Me!), before talking to Rob from DC about calling our Senators. They also do some side-by-side comparisons of NYC candidates for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo in their response to the abduction of New Yorker Mahmoud Khalil at the hands of the Trump administration, before listening to Tommy Tuberville explain why its fine to treat protesters this way, actually, and watching economists struggle with explaining Trump's tariff agenda. They also reflect a little more on Against Me! and trans identity with Ramona Frankenstein, before Mimi from Colorado delivers a plea to save our federal land, plus, your calls and IMs!

Donald Trump brengt niet alleen de geopolitiek in rep en roer. Hij provoceert ook binnenslands een revolutie in het overheidsapparaat. Elon Musk gaat met een kettingzaag door de instituties waar veel burgers en bedrijven afhankelijk van zijn; hij ontslaat ambtenaren zonder pardon en zonder duidelijke onderbouwing.Nina Olson voert een proces tegen Elon Musk en zijn DOGE, het Department of Goverment Efficiency. Dit doet zij namens haar eigen Centrum voor de Rechten van de Belastingbetaler, vakbonden van overheidspersoneel en een organisatie van het midden- en kleinbedrijf.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met haar over de strijd voor fundamentele burgerrechten, de ondermijning daarvan door Musk en DOGE en de chaos die nu dreigt in het Amerikaanse overheidsapparaat. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Als de eerste Taxpayer Advocate van Amerika (2001-2019) was Nina Olson meteen op haar qui vive toen Musk en DOGE van start gingen.Zonder een gedegen wettelijke grondslag brak DOGE in bij enkele van de meest gevoelige informatiesystemen, die honderden miljoenen burgers, bedrijven en organisaties in Amerika raken. Olson wijst op de databestanden van de Belastingdienst, sociale zekerheid en pensioenen, de ministeries van gezondheidszorg en arbeid en alle personeelsgegevens van individuele ambtenaren. "Alle financiële en persoonlijke gegevens van elke burger en elke organisatie die belasting betaalt zijn nu vogelvrij. De consequenties daarvan voor de privacy-rechten en burgerlijke vrijheden zijn ongekend”, zegt ze. “Dit is huiveringwekkend.”Olson wijst erop dat DOGE is ingericht als deel van het budgetbureau van het Witte Huis. “Er is geen formele basis in een wet die het Congres heeft aangenomen. Het is dus puur vanuit het formeel gezag van de president dat DOGE toegang opeist in de databestanden. De juristen van de regering bleken bij de start van onze zaak niet te kunnen melden wie de officiële chef van DOGE was en hoe de organisatie is opgebouwd." Zelfs voor een expert als Nina Olson was dit onthutsend. Pas na aandringen kreeg de rechter meer inzicht.Alle alarmbellen gingen af bij Olson en haar collega's. Precies die greep van het budgetbureau op de rest van de overheid bleek tijdens de geruchtmakende Watergate-affaire zeer problematisch. De toenmalige president Nixon liet van alles uitzoeken over mensen en organisaties op zijn ‘lijst van vijanden'.Het Congres heeft ingegrepen en wettelijke waarborgen doorgevoerd om elke burger tegen zulke privacy-schendingen te beschermen. DOGE voldoet volstrekt niet aan die waarborgen. De vaak jeugdige IT'ers die voor Musk aan de slag zijn kunnen zo bij elk denkbaar bedrijf of individu inbreken in persoonlijke gegevens. Nina Olson waarschuwt met concrete voorbeelden voor de effecten hiervan.Vermogensgegevens van Musks zakelijke concurrenten, data over politieke donaties door burgers en nog veel meer – ze zijn nu vogelvrij en kunnen worden misbruikt. Geen burger kan nog vertrouwen op de privacy van haar of zijn gegevens die in de burgerrechten is gegarandeerd.Nina Olson maakt zich grote zorgen over de logistieke en technologische gevolgen van gerommel in de datasystemen en bestanden. "Veel overheidsinstanties benutten computertalen die vaak al decennia oud zijn. Als je die niet beheerst is het risico levensgroot dat de computerbestanden van bijvoorbeeld de Belastingdienst onherstelbaar beschadigd raken."Deze ontwikkeling staat in schril contrast met de 'Taxpayer Bill of Rights' die door Nina Olson is bedacht en door de Belastingdienst is ingevoerd. Privacy en het recht op vertrouwelijkheid staan voor elke Amerikaan nu fundamenteel op het spel.Tijdens President Trumps speech tot het Congres op 4 maart 2025 bleek al dat hij geheel ongefundeerde DOGE-gegevens over fraude en slordigheden bij de pensioenen benutte, die het gevolg waren van ernstige fouten bij het ondeskundig hanteren van de databestanden. "Je kunt helemaal niet spreken van 'fraude, knoeiboel en foutief handelen' als je niet snapt hoe die systemen en hun dataverkeer überhaupt werken," benadrukt Olson. Naast de schade aan de overheidsgegevens - waarvan bijna elke burger en elk bedrijf afhankelijk is - dreigt het werk van DOGE ook onderdelen van het regeringsapparaat te ontmantelen als overbodig, geknoei of 'woke'. Ook op dit terrein heeft die organisatie geen enkele bevoegdheid, omdat wettelijk het Congres verantwoordelijk is.Vorige week bleek dat ministers in Trumps regering in verzet komen tegen de greep van DOGE. De president moest ingrijpen, maar zoals vaak sprak hij zichzelf tegen zodat nog steeds niemand weet waar hij aan toe is. Wel is duidelijk dat Olsons rechtszaak nu al impact heeft.In Nederland praat de Tweede Kamer over een variant van de 'Taxpayer Bill of Rights'. Nina Olson ziet in haar ervaringen met DOGE en de fundamentele gevaren voor de burgerrechten een extra aansporing om dit bij ons grondig te regelen. De kindertoeslagaffaire liet zien dat ook hier overheden niet onfeilbaar zijn en burgers kwetsbaar.***Verder luisteren275 - Nina Olson: Waarom Nederland net als de VS een Taxpayer Advocate moet krijgen382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party en de rechtsbescherming van belastingbetalers in Nederland445 - Chaos en onrecht in het sociale stelsel115 - Thomas Paine en De Rechten van de mens484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning'475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson289 - Donald Trump als gevaar voor de democratie - Joe Biden en zijn strijd voor de ziel van Amerika226 - In het oog van de orkaan: Roel in 't Veld over wat er mis is met politiek en bestuur222 - Na de kindertoeslagaffaire.

The favorite son of Niles, Ohio is our topic today . . . Donald Trump has said that William McKinley was his favorite president so we spend some time explaining who McKinley was, why he became president, what he did, and what Trump's declared affection means....McKinley came to power in the post-Civil War era when industrial capitalism became the national economic system and, living in Ohio, became an advocate of tariffs and "free labor." As such he authored the McKinley Tariff in 1890, which badly harmed the American economy. McKinley also ushered in America's move into foreign areas to create a new empire--especially in Cuba and the Philippines. And of course we discuss the reasons that Trump may idolize McKinley, and also how Trump's economic program is a departure from the neo-Liberal regime and a movement back toward the protectionist and imperial ways of William McKinley. ---------------------------------Outro- "White House Blues" by Charlie Norton and the North Carolina RamblersFollow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/vgKnY3sd)+Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social)Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

In this episode of the podcast, we crack open a Smuttynose "Finest Kind" IPA and dive into the fascinating life and legacy of William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. Known to many as the "fourth assassinated president" alongside Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and John F. Kennedy, McKinley's story goes far beyond trivia night. From his heroic service during the Civil War to his transformative presidency, we explore what made him one of the most influential figures in American history.We discuss McKinley's courageous actions on the battlefield—running through enemy fire to deliver crucial messages—and his rise from an enlisted soldier to the rank of brevet major. Transitioning into politics, McKinley served multiple terms in the House of Representatives, became Governor of Ohio, and ultimately won the presidency in 1896. Learn how his “front porch campaign” changed the face of presidential elections and why he's the only U.S. president to have served in the House but not the Senate.McKinley's presidency marked a turning point for the United States, establishing the nation as a global power. We delve into the impact of the Spanish-American War (1898), which led to the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, as well as the annexation of Hawaii. McKinley championed the gold standard over silver-backed currency and supported protective tariffs to boost American manufacturing—policies that draw comparisons to modern leaders like Donald Trump. We also touch on his role in strengthening the U.S. Navy, expanding the nation's global influence, and consolidating the power of the Republican Party for decades.Of course, we also cover McKinley's tragic assassination at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, by anarchist Leon Czolgosz—a pivotal event that reshaped presidential security and led to the Secret Service assuming its protective role. Plus, we explore the eerie coincidence of Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, being present at the assassinations of three U.S. presidents: Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley.Finally, we discuss the controversy surrounding Mount McKinley—North America's tallest peak—originally named in McKinley's honor but renamed Denali during the Obama administration, sparking debates about history, culture, and politics.Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for a fun and insightful conversation about history, politics, and craft beer.

What can we learn from President William McKinley's leadership, and how does his legacy compare to the modern political landscape? In this fascinating conversation, historian and journalist Robert W. Merry joins ISI to discuss his latest book, President McKinley: Architect of the American Century.McKinley, often overshadowed by his more flamboyant successors, was a transformational figure who reshaped America's global role and set the stage for the 20th century. Merry breaks down McKinley's underrated statesmanship, his approach to economic and foreign policy, and his impact on American conservatism.The discussion takes an intriguing turn as McKinley's leadership is compared to Donald Trump—examining their similarities in political realignment, media battles, and their roles as champions of the "forgotten American."

#580: "If you want to understand what's happening in the economy, look at bonds," begins today's episode, where we explore how the bond market acts as a crystal ball for economic trends. The bond market has been sending some clear signals lately. Interest rates remain elevated, with 10-year Treasury yields about 1 percent higher than their September 2024 low. After a challenging 2024 where bond returns flattened to just 1.18 percent, both the U.S. and U.K. are seeing historically high yields. We break down what's driving these changes and explain key concepts like term premium — the extra return investors demand for holding longer-term bonds. The Federal Reserve's recent moves are shaping this landscape. After cutting rates by 1 percentage point between September and December 2024, Fed officials are now signaling a more cautious approach, wanting to see further inflation decline before considering additional cuts. Then we explore why President William McKinley is suddenly relevant again. McKinley, whose term began in 1897, was known for his imperialist expansion and love of tariffs. His presidency came towards the end of what historians call "the long 19th century" — a period from the French Revolution in 1789 to the start of World War I in 1914. This era was marked by massive social upheaval, major technological advancement, the First Industrial Revolution, and huge migration into cities. It also included the California and Klondike Gold Rushes. The episode then turns to what some are calling the "Cold Rush" — the race to claim influence in the rapidly changing Arctic. With ice melting four times faster than global averages and the potential for ice-free Arctic days by 2030, nations are competing for new shipping routes and access to resources. We examine three emerging paths: the Northern Sea Route along Russia's coast, the North-West Passage along North America, and the Transpolar Sea Route across the North Pole. Finally, we dive into an overlooked story: the global tax war. In 2021, 136 countries agreed to establish a 15 percent minimum corporate tax rate to prevent profit-shifting to tax havens. While the U.S. already exceeds this minimum with its 21 percent domestic rate, implementation faces challenges due to different methodologies for calculating tax bases and recent political developments that could affect its future.

In episode 477 Chris Brennan discusses a number of recent stories in the news and how they are repetitions of events that occurred during past Venus retrograde in Aries periods, demonstrating how the 8-year cycle of Venus can connect events from the past with the present. This is a followup to the Venus retrograde in Aries in history episode last month, where Nick Dagan Best and I went through and noted a bunch of important events that happened during past Venus retrograde in Aries periods. Ever since we recorded that episode on January 10 there started being all of these really striking headlines and news stories that were repetitions of events we had talked about from previous Venus retrogrades in that episode, so I decided to compile them all here in this episode. Part of the purpose is to document some of these incredible Venus retrograde repetitions while they are happening and fresh in people's minds, but also to show people the repetitions so that they know what to look out for as we get deeper into this Venus retrograde over the next few months, that way you all can help me identify other repetitions that emerge in the near future.

Do police and protesters have to see each other as the enemy? How do you police crowds – sports fans, protesters – in a way that calms, rather than provokes? Simon Montlake sits down with Clay Collins and discusses ‘dialogue policemen.' Also; today's stories, including how President Donald Trump compares with the famous proponent of tariffs and expansionism, President William McKinley, how the Arab world is responding to President Donald Trump's proposal to take over Gaza and resettle the Palestinians there, and how Donald Trump reinvigorated Canadian national pride. Join the Monitor's Mark Sappenfield for today's news.

What do Donald Trump and William McKinley have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, we dig into the economic and political legacy of America's 25th president, the so-called Napoleon of Tariffs, and explore why Trump sees him as a role model. From trade wars to big business alliances, McKinley reshaped America's economic landscape through protectionism and expansionism, laying the groundwork for the country's rise as a global power. But his presidency also triggered a powerful counter reaction, one that led to the breakup of monopolies, progressive reform, and a seismic shift in U.S. politics under his unexpected successor, Teddy Roosevelt. How does McKinley's era mirror today's America? What lessons does his legacy hold for Trump's economic vision? And how did a single gold discovery in the Yukon change everything? Tune in as we trace the hidden connections between past and present in America's political and economic supercycle. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast.

Hometown Radio 02/05/25 6p: Dr. John Ashbaugh discusses President William McKinley

President Trump speaks fondly of William McKinley, the 25th U.S. president who was a strong advocate for tariffs. He's credited with helping to protect the fledgling tinplate industry in the late 19th century. But did the tariff work?

Forget soft power, it is all about hard bargains.Donald Trump making good his campaign promise of tariffs and starting with his closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico. We will ask if it is all a big made-for- reality TV drama that ends at the negotiating table, he is already hit pause for Mexico. How much has the world's most powerful nation decided to decided to throw its weight around? We will gauge reactions. Trump turned heads at his inauguration when he referenced William McKinley, the tariff-loving turn-of-the-20th Century predecessor to Theodore Roosevelt who tested the powers of the presidency and went to war with Spain to assert dominance over the Americas and the South Pacific.On that score, Trump's threats to annex Panama yielding results it seem with the central American nation telling his secretary of state that it's ready to allow Panama's participation to expire in China's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative. Enough to quell talk of land grabs? Produced by Théophile Vareille, Rebecca Gnignati and Ilayda Habip.

Trump 2.0 is a hodgepodge of distinctly American political strains: the bare-knuckled nationalism and anti-elitism of Andrew Jackson, the tariff-loving protectionism of William McKinley, the small-government/pro-business policies of Calvin Coolidge, the unforgiving enemies lists of Richard Nixon, the deportation policies of Dwight Eisenhower, the manifest destiny of James Polk and the isolationism of 1914-era Woodrow Wilson. American First policies announced yesterday create risks for investors since its supply side benefits collide with its inflationary tendencies; there's not a lot of room for error at a time of elevated US equity multiples.

C dans l'air du 21 janvier 2025 - Trump : main basse sur le mondeQuelques minutes seulement après avoir été intronisé 47e président des États-Unis, le nouveau locataire de la Maison Blanche s'est présenté à la Capital One Arena, une arène sportive de Washington, pour son premier discours, au cours duquel il a assuré que "l'âge d'or des États-Unis commence aujourd'hui." Devant un public de 20.000 personnes acquises à sa cause, puis dans le Bureau ovale, l'ancienne star de télévision a mis en scène la signature de ses premiers décrets, visant à mettre en application certaines de ses promesses ou à en donner l'impression.Ainsi, Donald Trump a signé le décret de grâce en faveur des 1 500 personnes condamnées pour leur participation à l'assaut du Capitole le 6 janvier 2021, les qualifiant d'"otages". Parmi eux figure Enrique Tarrio, le leader de la milice d'extrême droite "Proud Boys", condamné à la peine la plus lourde, 22 ans de prison. Il s'est également attaqué à l'immigration, signant un décret remettant en cause le droit du sol et déclarant l'état d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique. Le nouvel homme fort de Washington a par ailleurs acté le retrait des États-Unis (une deuxième fois) de l'accord de Paris sur le climat et de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS). Il a également ouvert le front des guerres commerciales en confirmant sa volonté d'imposer des droits de douane de 25 % aux produits venant de ses voisins canadien et mexicain, dès le 1er février. Pas de chiffre, ni de date en revanche pour l'Europe mais l'objectif affirmé de redresser le déficit commercial soit par des droits de douane, soit en vendant plus de pétrole et de gaz à l'Union européenne.Donald Trump a aussi réaffirmé ses ambitions sur le Groenland, le territoire danois autonome dont il souhaite prendre le contrôle, estimant que le Danemark finirait par céder. Il a également exprimé son intention de redonner le nom de "Mont McKinley" pour le sommet actuellement connu sous le nom de Denali en Alaska, en hommage à William McKinley, ancien gouverneur de l'Ohio et 25e président des États-Unis. Il a par ailleurs annoncé son souhait de rebaptiser le golfe du Mexique en "golfe de l'Amérique". La réaction du Mexique à cette annonce a été teintée de sarcasme. La présidente mexicaine, Claudia Sheinbaum, a répondu en suggérant que, selon la même logique, l'Amérique du Nord pourrait être renommée "Amérique mexicaine".Au total, il a signé une centaine de documents à différents moments de la journée, de la création de "DOGE", la commission pilotée par le milliardaire Elon Musk pour réduire drastiquement le budget fédéral, à l'élimination de mesures environnementales prises sous Joe Biden (soutien à l'éolien, interdiction des forages pétroliers dans certaines zones naturelles…) lors d'une première journée de mandat entachée par un geste de Elon Musk. Devant les partisans de Donald Trump et les caméras du monde entier, le milliardaire est accusé d'avoir effectué deux saluts nazis. Le patron de X a dénoncé "un coup tordu" sur sa plateforme, qualifiant cette "attaque" selon laquelle "tout le monde est "Hitler" de "totalement dépassée". Mais pour les historiens, c'est clair, le geste effectué par Elon Musk ne laisse aucune place au doute : il s'agit d'un salut nazi. Un soupçon renforcé par les orientations politiques de l'homme le plus riche du monde qui soutient officiellement l'AfD, ce parti néofasciste allemand dont une part est nostalgique du IIIème Reich et l'ensemble des formations politiques d'extrême droite européennes qui étaient représentées lundi à Washington. Ainsi les Français Marion Maréchal et Éric Zemmour de Reconquête ! ont participé à la cérémonie d'investiture. Jordan Bardella, qui a proposé en septembre dernier Elon Musk pour le prix Sakharov, la plus prestigieuse récompense de l'Union européenne pour les droits humains et Marine Le Pen n'ont pas fait le déplacement mais ils ont envoyé une délégation d'élus du Rassemblement national dont leur bras droit Louis Aliot et le député européen Julien Sanchez.

We are seeing in real time what it looks like to turn a democracy over to an oligarch, namely the unstable guy from South Africa who thinks he's going to be emperor of the universe. It's also authoritarian for that one unstable guy to threaten members of congress with job loss if they vote to provide hurricane relief or to rebuild part of the interstate highway system. Plus, the need for a pro-democracy media ecosystem, the difference between liberal and left, and the terribleness of the William McKinley era. Heather Cox Richardson joins Tim Miller. show notes Some of Heather's books: “Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America" "Wounded Knee: Party Politics and the Road to an American Massacre" "West from Appomattox: The Reconstruction of America after the Civil War"

The What A Day team is off this week, but we're excited to share an episode of Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams. In this episode, Stacey speaks with historian Heather Cox Richardson to see what history can teach us about moving forward after Trump's reelection. They discuss strategies for countering disinformation, how Democratic leaders are preparing to use states' rights to their advantage to challenge Trump's federal overreach, and how the era following William McKinley's presidency can be a guide for progressives. Then, Stacey answers questions from the audience on how to get involved in politics, and how to respond to the community in this post-election environment.If you liked this episode, subscribe to Assembly Required wherever you get your podcasts: crooked.com/assemblyrequired

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, can you think of any reason why there shouldn't be requirements for voter ID to prove that you are an American citizen? Can you think of any reason why a non-citizen should be permitted to be on a voter list for a state, thereby being capable of voting? The DOJ is suing Gov Glenn Youngkin for fulfilling his role and assuring that only legal citizens are able to vote on November 5th. Also, Christopher Rufo calls in to discuss his exclusive report that Kamala Harris plagiarized large sections of her book, Smart on Crime. Decades ago, this would have knocked Harris out of the race, but those standards don't exist anymore. We now have propaganda by censorship in the media. Later, the Democrats are working closely with unconstitutional Jack Smith to use his filing as a basis for impeaching Donald Trump if he's elected. Democrats are also launching a judicial power grab in case Trump wins in November. These Democrats have no intention of accepting the election results. Afterward, it's not a perfect analogy but Trump's view on tariffs are more akin to President William McKinley's. McKinley saw rapid economic growth after a depression. Finally, Trump was at the Economic Club of Chicago and every question from the Bloomberg News host was screamingly hostile and his attitude was condescending and off putting. This is a perfect illustration of the corrupt media aggregated into this single guy's performance. And yet, Trump handled it all with a great temperament, skill and substance. There's no way Kamala Harris could cope with anything like that on any level. Learn more about your ad choices.
