balance of power

The president has the power to release someone from prison, restore their voting rights, or stop a federal criminal investigation with little more than the wave of a hand. How did the president get this power, and are there any limitations? What would it mean for a president to pardon themselves? 

Brian Kalt, constitutional law professor at Michigan State University, helps answer these questions.

In this eye-opening episode of The Mark Moss Show, we dive into the seismic shift in the balance of power, catalyzed by technology and citizen journalism. Mark Moss discusses the recent conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried from FTX, focusing not on the crypto scandal itself, but on the broader implications for trust in institutions and the role of decentralized power. This case exemplifies the decentralized revolution and highlights a pivotal fight in our lifetimes - the fight for truth and justice against centralized control.

Witness how the power of the crowd and the internet brought to light what traditional establishments failed to see. From Twitter users to independent crypto journalists, we explore how the collective online community exposed one of the biggest frauds in recent history, prompting action from reluctant authorities. This episode is a testament to the growing influence of digital platforms and social media in challenging traditional power structures and bringing about a new era of accountability and transparency.

In this episode of The Vivek Show, host Vivek Ramaswamy speaks with former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, about the 1994 Republican Revolution and its implications for today's political landscape. They discuss the lessons of the 1994 Revolution, its relevance to the current political environment, and the stark contrast between the political positions of Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Gingrich discusses how the left has been systematically chipping away at welfare reform over the years, drawing parallels between current state of affairs and George Orwell's 1984. He highlights his time in Congress which led to four consecutive balanced budgets and welfare reform, emphasizing the need for another national movement.

Gingrich acknowledges Vivek's role in shaping a new vision for America and emphasizes that the solutions to today's challenges lie in the principles of past leaders, including Reagan and the Founding Fathers. They discuss the left's movement towards a dictatorship of ideas, and Gingrich's stepping down as Speaker of the House. Gingrich also reveals his impact on the balance of power in Washington after leaving office, and why he chose not to run for president in 2000. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the importance of visionary leaders during moments of national identity crisis, and the need for leaders who can both articulate and execute big ideas during challenging times.

What is the nuclear revolution and why can't we agree on it? What is the Third Nuclear Age, why is it problematic as a concept, and what special dangers or opportunities might it hold? How important is multipolarity, and what counts as a pole? What counts as "emerging technologies" and how do they affect the risks of nuclear war? Is arms control possible in advanced conventional (non-nuclear) weaponry? And why is China expanding its nuclear arsenal? Dr. Benjamin Zala and Dr. Van Jackson talk about all this and more in the first of two episodes on the topic.

In this special event, Dr. Van Jackson discussed AUKUS and Indo-Pacific strategy at the Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA).  He's joined by Bryce Wakefield (AIIA), Maria Rost-Rublee (University of Melbourne), Nick Bisley (Latrobe University), and Benjamin Zala (Australian National University).

Why South Korea's Bernie Sanders is no Bernie when it comes to foreign policy.  Why Australia's submarine decision is vulgar balancing (but not useless).  Marxism versus liberalism.  Why the pandemic proves the world sucks at collective action.  Xi Jinping's common prosperity drive pits labor against oligarchy, but not the way you think.

Context is important! It's part of the raw data we use to sculpt our idea of the world. We take a BRIEF historical tour of the Silk Road, power, wealth, and ultimately how we end up with riots in Ferguson and Baltimore. Are these events connected? Absolutely, here's how...

In this episode, Van digs into the varieties of progressive foreign policy thought, and confesses to evolutions about his own thinking. Why Joe and Hunter Biden--who did no wrong here--remind us that foreign money corrupts the politics of democracies everywhere. What is the "Washington Post test?" And how is journalism itself complicit in empowering Trump? Also in this episode, why government memos are sanitized versions of history. Ask Me Anything: Which democratic presidential candidates does Van like? Is China neo-fascist (or neo-racist)? Non-Sequitur: Van's recurring dream about Ted Cruz.
