People from a Broad Spectrum of political backgrounds in the progressive era believed were important. They believed they were not incompatible but you can see some ways in which they were fundamentally adding tension. Throughout class today, think about democracy versus efficiency. So the central question for historians of the early 20th century is, what is progressivism . A famous article that came out in 1982 was entitled in search of progressivism which aptly summed up the way historians were rummaging around knowing that this era existed but quivering about what counted as progressivism. When it ended, when it started, who counted in it . Some people limit only to the Political Party it was named for. Others to find it much more broadly. So for me in this class, this is how i will define progressivism. And the broadest sense, it was the way a whole generation of americans defined themselves politically and how they addressed the problems of the new century and what i think we can a

Stories. We begin with ongoing protests in hong kong. President trump signed a bill backing protesters. This pump to china to threaten retaliation against the u. S. As it nears a phase one trade deal. The chinese spokesman saying u. S. Stopsuggest the sticking obstinately to its course or china will take resolute countermeasures. Where does this leave them in that phase one trade deal . Reporter it is very interesting because for several days, weve had the chutneys threatening nonspecific countermeasures, but there havent really got into any detail. The most weve had is the suggestion they might put a ban on those who drafted the bill from entering china or hong kong, which is a pretty lowkey response. The fact that we had several days of this without any suggestions without any specifics suggests beijing is grappling with how to handle this. It is clear the u. S. Once a trade deal done very soon. The chinese want a trade deal done as soon as possible. They dont want to bring in tensio
Fascist dictatorship, and so bill barr, after, ive got to say, humiliating himself for several years, bill barr decides, this is where i get off. This is enough. This is my line. I believe in an imperial presidency, but i dont believe in a fascist presidency. Thats what donald trump was asking him to do. Asking him to steal an election. Asking him to arrest his political opponents. Asking him to do the sort of things, again, that fascist dictators do. He wouldnt do it. Now, trump has turned on him. As far as fani willis goes and jack smith and everything else, again, we can point you back to it and play it for you again, what we were saying in 2019. If donald trump lost in 2020, he would run again, and hed run again simply to avoid all the crimes he was committing. Im not good at math, but that was four years ago. Four years ago, we were saying he will run again so he can try to avoid jail. Going to jail. Here we are. I must say, a lot of people were saying that, so its hard to believe
Its interesting, this business about Workplace Bullying because weve seen so many alleged instance of it just recently, particularly in the television industry. Have you ever seen it . Have you ever seen it . Well, certainly back in the days , i used to work on tabloid days, i used to work on tabloid newspapers and i would often see grown men crying in pubs in breaks because they were getting so carpeted. But that was just so carpeted. But that was just the norm. Then im not saying it was right, but it was absolutely the the late the norm. This is like the late 90s the norm. This is like the late 905 2000. 90s 2000. Yeah, certainly i think yeah, it certainly i think there are some jobs, some professions where its almost seen of rite of seen as a sort of rite of passage to be bullied. Editors of newspapers in the olden days, when i was a trainee , they were when i was a trainee, they were they were absolute demons. You almost said the word there. Yeah, exactly what you mean. Yeah they w
