On on this new hour, what happens to the remaining hostages in gaza? hear from the father of one of them whose son has been held sap active since october 7th. Plus when it comes to donald trump s legal troubles, his game of delay is working. Let s do it. Let s do it. Today hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of tel aviv. Demonstrators are threatening to shut down the country unless netanyahu finally agrees to a deal with hamas to release the hostages and israel s largest labor union is calling for a general strike tomorrow. Many inside israel have reached a boiling point with netanyahu after the israeli military recovered the dead bodies of six hostages from gaza. They were identified as carmel g guy, alexander lobanoff, master sergeant ori denina and hirsch goldberg polin, one of the american hostages found. The crowd erupted in chance of bringing them home.

I was about to say i would rather be assassinated on this spot and surrender. I love the fact that he says those words on the spot. Knowing full will that there is a plot to kill him at that moment. He means it and he pauses and it hits him. What is fantastic about that moment. I wont tell you how, we know he lives. Its one of my favorite parts of the books and those are the moments we love but when we were debating doing this book what was a very important to us is it silly for me to say wiese found the secret plot to kill Abraham Lincoln. What was far more interesting to josh and i. We plenty of stories we could of done. The reason we picked this one is because the context of when it was happening. You can see the civil war unfolding in front of us. You can see that there into. Whatever side youre on it you hate the other side. You think the their site is side is horrible and awful people. Thats exactly where we are right now. We want to get through anyone that reads it is not just a
Discussion of colin dueck, age of iron. Which is a marvelous analysis of conservative nationalism. I see a couple of things about the book in the moment but before i do i want to extend on your behalf in mine a warm welcome to colin dueck and to distinguish commentators. As you probably know colin dueck is a professor at george mason esiversity and is also a nonresident fellow at the American Enterprise institute next door. Literally.

It examines the concept of conservative nationalism that has been brought to public attention conspicuously to the rise of President Trump. In terms of both the history of ideas and how these ideas have found manifestation in the history. Especially in the debates in the world. So the book is both encompassing and granular simultaneously. And despite the gravity of the subject, i assure you its a delightful read. I read the book over the last ten and
Of the Richmond Center, i also served as the dean of Columbia Law School from 20042014 which i mention for a very particular reason. I was the dean when professor anu bradford joined our faculty, and its one of my very proud moments is when we persuaded her to do that. So im honored to kick off what i know is going to be a fascinating discussion about the influence of europe on the global marketplace. Last year the wall street journal called the decline of europe as a force in World Affairs the most consequential shift of the last hundred years. And there is some truth in that. Since world war ii the military influence of europe has certainly declined, and its also true that europes Economic Growth has not compared favorably with that of the United States or, for example, with china or india. And, of course, efforts to maintain an Economic Union within europe have been more complicated lately with brexit, as we all know. But still i think professor bradford sees things a little bit dif
