One of my closest friends, John Wood Jr. with Braver Angels, launched a podcast. His goal is to bring America together. John is a Conservative and I'm a Liberal but he often talks about him and I running for office together one day on a unity ticket. I don't know about that but I would support him in any office he runs for.
His first guest, Dave Rubin. Check it out.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.

Europe-Russia, two-century failure w/ Jeffrey Sachs (Live)
In this podcast, Jeffrey Sachs provides information on European History which is not the official narrative. He recommends two books, both available online - though only one of them is available for downloading for offline use, the other needs to be read online.
1. The genesis of Russophobia in Great Britain; a study of the interaction of policy and opinion; Gleason, John Howes, 1972 - not available for offline(though Jeffrey Sachs indicates that this material from the 1950s. Sachs must have been thinking of Jackie Gleason, or perhaps the archive page got the date wrong.) | https://archive.org/details/genesisofrussoph0000glea/page/n7/mode/2up
2. The Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1997 | https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound . This is available offline as a pdf. It's available at the CIA website. ...
