"A part of France. No. Facing such ridiculous demands, the new republic determines to fight on, even as the German alliance besieges and chokes off the capital city of Paris. But as desperate French fighters turn to guerrilla tactics, the iron Chancellor doesn't let war take his eyes off the real goal. German unification and empire under his king, Wilhelm the first of Prussia. So despite the ongoing war or being on foreign soil, auto sees the rare opportunity of having so many German princes and rulers gathered in one spot. Is this not the moment to push? Otto coaxes compromises and bribes as needed to get the various German rulers now assembled together in France to call for Wilhelm to be the emperor of Germany. Or the German emperor, that is. The title is proving highly political and something of a war unto itself. It's late morning, January 18th, 1871. Dressed in the dark blue uniform of the cavalry, Chancellor Otto von Bismarck descends from his carriage in front of the palace Versailles. What a breathtaking majestic sight. It's white stone. It's red brick. The tension between its baroque and classical design, and the seemingly endless expanse of the palace surrounding buildings and gardens, it's not hard to imagine the absolute monarch, the sun king Louis the 14th ruling here. Yet, how jarring then, to hear the faint roar of German guns holding the starving people of Paris captive behind their city walls. Or to watch the north German Confederation's Chancellor walked toward this palace, bearing the inscription. For all the glories of France, knowing he's about to crown a German emperor here. Just outside the palace's entrance as he reaches the black and white marble courtyard, the iron Chancellor is stopped by the king's son in law. The Grand Duke of Baden. The Grand Duke has instructions from his majesty. When crowning him emperor, Otto is to call him Kaiser von deutschland. The emperor of Germany. Still, this patiently, the Chancellor explains, as he did yesterday, that's not going to happen. The German princes have already been using the title Deutsche Kaiser, the German emperor. And Otto isn't about to derail the empire over semantics. It's now 12 moon, in Versailles, gallery de glace, the hall of mirrors. The ornate 80 yard long room with massive mirrors and 17 arched windows spilling out on the seemingly endless gardens and fountains outside is now filled with German princes, officers and military banners. A hush falls over all as king Wilhelm the first of Prussia, dressed in his military best, slowly walks across the elongated hall, making his way to the clergyman at the temporarily raised dais. Wilhelm is now met by Otto von Bismarck, who proclaims him the German emperor. Wilhelm can't even hide the rage, he's feeling toward his Chancellor. Expected to lead a cheer, the Grand Duke of Baden avoids exacerbating his father in law's anger by skirting the issue altogether, calling out. Long live his imperial and royal majesty, Kaiser Wilhelm. The newly proclaimed Kaiser now steps down from the dais shaking hands and greeting the princes and officers. But filled with resentment over his title, Wilhelm purposely glows right past the iron Chancellor without so much as an extended hand or word for the man who quite literally just made him emperor. Foul moves aside. He's done it. Brilliantly and ruthlessly, the iron Chancellor has outthought his adversaries and spilled the blood required. To overcome the Congress of Vienna's original map and balance of power in Europe to forge a successor to the Holy Roman Empire. A second German Empire. A second hike. And while unification pleases, the still in the minority but growing number of German nationalists, the Chancellor has carefully forged this new state, not in the image of liberalism, but in the image of the autocratic Prussian kingdom. From every vantage point, it seems that the builder of empire Otto von Bismarck has won. But this win is not without consequences. The French will never forget the insult of a German Empire proclaimed in the very symbolic heart of French power. The Palace of Versailles. Nor will they forgive imperial Germany for forcefully annexing Alsace Lorraine and its French identifying one and a half million inhabitants at the Franco Prussian wars end in 1871. In the years to come, French school teachers will point to these regions more fully blackened on the nation's map and instruct their young male pupils that is their duty to grow, become men and when the time is right, restore these lands and their eastern countrymen at a patriot. All of this pain rage and vengeance France feels toward Germany, as well as its drive to restore Alsace Verne, is summed up in the French language with a single word. With all she's some.

"Hi everybody. Welcome to The Dennis Prager Show. I hope you had a good weekend. Sean, did you have a good weekend? You have no idea how much mail I get. Did Sean have a good weekend? It's very moving, truly. Well, this is a great day in California history. A black lesbian has been appointed Senator from the state of California by Gavin Newsom. I'm a celebratory major moment. If there's always this major moment, it's a first. It's not the first black woman and she is a dyed-in-the-wool leftist. By the way, it's irrelevant. From the perspective of ruining California, it is irrelevant whom Gavin Newsom would appoint. Whoever he would have appointed, even, which would be impossible, a white heterosexual Christian male. Even had he appointed that person, well, maybe not the Christian part. Look, he is a white heterosexual male and he is destroying the state of California. He will go to the next world, hopefully, in many years. Maybe he will live in health. But when he is ever mentioned historically, the odds are it will be as the governor who ruined the state of California more than any governor in the history of American life. Well, Pritzker, I've got to say, there is a race for destroying one's state. That Pritzker sleeps well at night proves something I have said often and written about, the uselessness of the conscience in most human beings. Pritzker is at peace with his conscience and so is Newsom. Did you see the story? I think it was in California. I don't remember what city. A guy came into one of these small shops to rob it and poured, just took off the shelf, a liquid, what do you call the stuff, butane, poured it over the guy and set him on fire. I kept looking for a GoFundMe page. I want to send a serious amount of money for this man. The Left's damage, and yet liberals vote Left, that is the moral crisis of our society. The Left always destroys. That is all it does. It builds nothing good. It only destroys. Great art, great music, great teaching, great education, great schools, great medicine. It is destructive movement. That is all Leftists know how to do is destroy the nuclear family, happy children, male-female relations, black-white relations. That is all the Left knows how to do. They do nothing positive. It is a completely dark force in society and liberals who share none of their values or almost none of them vote for them. This is irrelevant to those of us who live in California and to the country at large. It is irrelevant what race or sexual proclivity orientation the person that Newsom would appoint is. It is irrelevant. A Leftist is a Leftist, whether it is a black lesbian or a white or a male heterosexual. It does not matter. I could not care less. Values are what matter, not these other factors. Gavin Newsom thinks he has done great. He is presumably going to get the black lesbian vote, but it does not matter. He gets vast numbers of white heterosexual votes too, especially among the well-educated, but that is a stupid term. I should never use well-educated. I need another term for someone who has gone through graduate school or even just bachelor's. Well, they are not well-educated, so it is a bad idea. I am well-educated. They are well indoctrinated. I think that is a better term. It is not my perfect term, but it is a better term. I did not mention this thing from last week's debate. This is from Breitbart. The New York Times labeled Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswami's comment on transgenderism during the debate as false. Ramaswami during the debate said, transgenderism, especially in kids, is a mental health disorder. We have to acknowledge the truth of that for what it is. A Times reporter wrote of the statement, this is false, but then added that transgender people experience psychological distress. It is false. You think you are the other sex. You are ten years old and you think you are the other sex. It is not a mental disorder. Isn't gender dysphoria in the DSM-5? I think they are up to number five in the manual for psychiatrists on various disorders. See what DSM stands for. I know all about DSM, but I do not know what it stands for. It is not a mental disorder. It is completely normal to think that you are the other sex. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. That is the full term of mental disorders. There it is. Gender dysphoria, that means where you in fact believe you are the other sex. Unless it has been removed, it has been and I think it is still in there. It is not a mental disorder. If I said to you, seriously, if I said to you, you know folks, for quite some time now I have been realizing I am a woman. Would your inclination be to think, well, it is completely normal. There is nothing wrong with Dennis. He has been in denial of a reality. It is not a disorder. So it is in there, but they have changed it to gender identity disorder. My dear friends, all of my life prior to the term woke ever being invented, psychiatry has been in the forefront of ideology over science. And one of my closest friends are psychiatrists. I am truly dear to my life and a good psychiatrist is a blessing. But probably more than 50% of psychiatrists are fools. Psychologists, the same thing. I knew this as a kid when I was very young when all these psychiatrists, I think a thousand, what was the number who said Barry Goldwater was mentally ill? Take a look at the number. I mean they should have all lost their license because you cannot diagnose a patient you have never seen. But it did not matter to psychiatrists. They were leftists from the beginning. Somebody should write a book. Probably there is one. The American Psychiatric Association had a reaction to the Soviets putting dissidents in mental institutions. The horrible thing that they have done. We are not far. John Strand is still in solitary confinement. The guy did nothing wrong in the Capitol on January 6th. There is a film of him in there. There is a video of him in there. I live in a country, thanks to the left, we have political prisoners for the first time in American history. And no liberal is bugged by it. With the exception of Alan Dershowitz. So this is what the New York Times fact check said. Being transgender is not a mental health disorder. Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria or psychological distress as a result of the incongruence between their sex and their gender identity. Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis. All right, back in a moment. So the New York Times labels Rama Swamy's statement that it's a mental disorder gender dysphoria. False. The New York Times. It has truly sunk. What institution has not sunk? So this is the psychiatrist thing you sent me. Where is this from? Is it from the DSM? It's not. It's the description. Is it from a psychiatrist? Where did you get this? Human Life International. In the latest version, the American Psychiatric Association replaced gender identity disorder with gender dysphoria. Huh? That's not true. They changed gender dysphoria. They didn't write it right. Let me make it clear. It is now gender dysphoria disorder as opposed to gender dysphoria. It did so in the hope that it would, quote, avoid stigma and ensure clinical care for individuals who see and feel themselves to be a different gender than the one they were born as. Okay, so why does that… can you tell me why that reduces the stigma? Why is gender identity disorder less stigmatizing than gender dysphoria? I don't know. Okay, but anyway, that's why the… in other words, they still regard it as a disorder. That's it. Now they didn't even have the word disorder before. It's worse now. It's better to have gender dysphoria than gender identity disorder. So the New York Times is false, not Rawaswami. It's a complete lie on the part of the New York Times. They consider it… it is a non-mental problem. Your 15-year-old says he's a girl. He's completely normal. Or at least that is completely normal. It's not a disorder. He's doing fine. God, are they sick on the left. They're so sick. People with GD, gender dysphoria, feel like they don't belong in their bodies. Whatever you sent me is convoluted. I'm sorry. They claim that gender dysphoria is the new term and it's replaced gender identity disorder. They're wrong. Okay, so I'm not going to read any more of this. I don't know. It is what it is. It is their reasoning and it is convoluted. The point is that this is the New York Times. This is what they are saying. Okay, well, in case you missed the first hour, I just want to tell you that a majority of young people in France believe that human beings, all humans on earth, should be limited to four air flights in their lifetime to counteract climate change. I'm telling you the Greens' damage to society… the left damages everything it touches. Everything. There is no exception. But the Greens within the left may end up the most destructive. As I often point out, Hitler was primarily preoccupied with killing Jews. He was animated by Jew hatred more than any other thing. But he didn't win the election in 1932. The Nazis didn't, primarily on anti-Semitism. They toned it down to get more votes. They won because of economic disorder and as a result of the Versailles Treaty, as a result of the Great Depression and the staggering inflation in Germany. The Greens… this is… I never predict the future. I will now. The Greens will destroy economies, destroyed economies will bring tyranny to countries. Very few places today, certainly and historically, react to economic collapse with increased freedom. Bad, bad things will happen because of the Greens' destruction of the Western economy. Really, really bad things. Horrible things. It is another despicable aspect of the left, the Greens. I interviewed Robert Kennedy Jr. on my fireside chat. It's gotten a fair amount of attention. My weekly fireside chat for PragerU, the 308 episodes, they're all worth watching. They're all a half hour. They're quite moving. You should show them to your college age kid or high school age kid and watch yourself. Anyway, I had him. I almost never have guests, but I had him. He came to my home where I do it, where I do the fireside chats. I have great admiration for him, great admiration. He is one courageous human being. But I was taken aback at his opposition to nuclear power. I'm very rarely surprised by a guest, but that surprised me. If you really believe that the world is coming to an end, that's what existential threat means because of climate change and opposed nuclear power? I'm sorry. Dennis Prager here. I told you truth is not a left-wing value. The New York Times is a perfect example. They label false that gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder is a mental illness. It's not. You think you are the other sex, you're fine. Well, all right. So there's another example. Did you know that AOC has announced that she believes the Congressman Bowman? Last week, Congressman Bowman actually set off the alarm in the Capitol and that delayed a vote. He claims that he did it by accident. He thought it was the doorknob. Is that correct? Is that what he said? But it was the door opener. Yeah, by pressing down on it. Yes. So I wonder, this is really interesting. This is actually more of a moment than even the appointment of a lesbian black woman to the U.S. Senate. This is a first worth noting. Has anyone ever tried to open a door by pulling a fire alarm? Has that ever happened? This is a country of 330 million people. You understand there are people who are the most bizarre things. But I will admit, this might be a first. I thought it would open the door. The thing that was in red and that is not on the door, on the wall, takes an effort to pull and says, fire alarm. The charmer is the real thing, that the guy is lying, is obvious to everyone except most people on the left. And that statement is accurate. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said she believes him. Did you see that? She believes him. Now here is the question to be posed. Do you believe that she believes him? This would be… I wouldn't even use it vindictively. I am just humanly curious if she would pass a lie detector test that I don't even give a hoot about him. It's obvious he's lying. But I would like to have her put on a lie detector and ask, do you really believe that he thought that the fire alarm would open the door? You know, Sean has done a lot of wild things in his life. It's basically a life devoted to outlandish acts. But he never did that.

"I want to get out of that. I don't want to be trapped in any level and any box. I would like to explore and keep growing and failing. Actually. I can't wait to see what's next. As always, thank you so much for this. And we will close with student questions. But I want to thank you so much because this has been thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Hi, my name is Justin. I'm a huge fan of your work, a Morris parros. One of my favorite films ever. And I just want to ask you, what was that experience like tackling such like an ambitious and multi layered story for your first feature film? And what lessons did you maybe take with you when making your newer stuff like Birdman and revenant? Well, I think that the idea behind a more special was to kind of have a mosaic, a mosaic of the city that is very complex to talk about Mexico and as a country. And it's complex to talk about Mexico City itself because it's such a diverse city with so much I would say diversity. And so much energy and electricity that it was for me as a filmmaker was how I can get that energy in the film. How it can feel that you are smelling the air, the polluted air, those colors, those textures. I wanted to really explore reality. At that time, I was obsessed to be very, very exploring reality as much as I can to get as close to that. So that was kind of a director. And I learned from a more that something that pay off for me was to prepare the film, extremely well. So since then, I have prepared a film relentlessly. I am obsessed with, I always say that I do the films two years before, and when I shooting the film, I'm just executing the film that I have already done. So I did that in a more spurs, and I have done that in the whole other films. Hi there, my name is Chloe Versailles, and I absolutely love the revenant. And I wanted to know what inspired and motivated you to tell that story on cinema. Well, the revenant was made was a Michael pumpkin novel that he did from this mythical Hugh glass character that the only thing that is known about him is that he was abandoned and then he was attacked by Fitzgerald. So it's kind of a mythology that Michael did this and then Mark Smith did a first draft.

"This new year is going to be a year of very awesome presence of the lord. And I just want to read a little bit out of psalms 91 because I think that it's so important for people to hear and to be able to reach into the lord because that's the only place that's going to be any safety or any shelter. He who dwells in the shelter of the most high will abide in the shadow of the almighty. I was say to the lord, my refuge, and my fortress. My God in whom I trust. I lose people to hear this. They need this so desperately. For it is he who delivers you from the snare of the trapper. And from the deadly pestilence, he will cover you with his opinions and under his wings, you may seek refuge. His faithfulness is a shield in a bulwark. Then, you will not be afraid of the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day, or the pestilence, stocks at darkness of the destruction that lays weight lays waste at noon. There is no safety in money. There is no safety in houses, there is no safety in armies. There's only one safety, and that is in his presence. You know, the scriptures speak of how he is called calling his elect from the four winds. And this is something we're speaking in the realm of spirit, God is gathering together. We speak that fourth. He's gathering the spirits of his leg of his people and he's gathering them into one. And whether we see it completely in this physical round right now, it's totally irrelevant. But in the realm of spirit, God is drawing his people. As part of the revelation of tabernacles, the feast of in gathering, where he's gathering his people together, and he's doing this, the spirits of all of his people throughout the earth. He's drawing. He's drawing them up into one. And we're proclaiming that for all of God's people that are being drawn up to here, being drawn up to sea. I used to see in ears to hear, you don't have to know everyone that's in the body of Chrysler all over the earth. But by the spirit, you can know them by the spirit you can see them. This is the hour where they shall all know me from the leaves to the greatest as the lord. And that happening in his happening for his people because there's something in their spirits of all of his people now that are responding. They're opening up or proclaiming that if everyone, all of his people shall have a revelation of the lord, this pure is right before God, they're going to hear him. They're going to see him. The wildfire we speak this, that the fulfillment of that prophecy must, it must have a fulfillment, but they shall all know me from the least to the greatest. This is the hour for it.

And Salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining Salvation through our lord Jesus Christ. The day of his appearing, the day of his fruit is upon us. We declare that as you hear the trumpet sound to assemble. That you are those sons of light because you heard his call. You are those that live in this day. The day of Salvation, the day of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the day of his visitation, this time of tabernacle.

"Officer at Versailles. Our agenda today is going to cover things like accessing Microsoft Teams. What are the problems of connecting to Microsoft Teams and their impact? To finding the problems, looking at the ten most common causes of these problems, the Versailles solution, business impact of poor quality and a CEO case study. So let's start off with the first slide. The growth of Microsoft Teams is stimulated the need for collaboration performance management. Ross, tell us about teams on all the network technologies that can be used to access the team's application. Well, that's the beauty of these cloud applications. Isn't that Gary that they go with you? Where have you traveled to? And there's a bunch of different technologies that we've got on the screen the other can be used to connect, but really essentially it comes down to if you have an Internet connection, you can access teams, you can actually access your cloud applications. And the one thing I'd like to point out on this screen there is that the majority of these connectivity technologies don't support quality of service. So that means a real problem for real-time applications like voice and video. Right from the get go. Should the performance issues with teams be blamed on teams? Well, it's the same for all of our providers and Microsoft's no different. Inside the cloud environments. So for example, with teams once you're audio stream or your video stream, makes it into the cloud environments. There's never going to be a problem. Those Azure data centers that Microsoft views there. They're fiber connected. There are networks, a huge run quality of service.

"12 and one every day starts to have a core experience. Look at that. Great. So why does this matter so much, especially for the IT team? Yeah. So it's really about giving your employees comfort and security. And so I'll give you an example. You know those surveys that you're asked to fill out at the end of the session like with Microsoft Teams, right? Well, the adoption of that rate this experience thing isn't very high. And the reason is really simple because nobody does anything for those things. Well, could you imagine by utilizing VSM everywhere? We actually can take those surveys and automatically open a ticket up for an IT team who can say Doug green just said he had a bad experience in the next thing you know your phone's ringing because we're going to try to address that problem now. So it's not only about addressing the issues. It's also an issue about employee well-being and health and keeping good employees on the job and being productive. And this sort of relates back to what you were saying before of, you know, again, I'm going to use these famous words. I think we've all heard and not being paid enough to do this. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, who's getting paid to do that? Right. Well, the IT teams are. Right. And again, you know, you can't really blame IT on this because up until very recently, there weren't really a lot of options to gather that information and have that help. A lot of the stuff that's on the market right now is really related to troubleshooting. And then as we all know, some issues are transient and they sometimes come back. And that's why trending analytics is so important. So Riemann, can you tell me what does this all mean? Well, really. We've always had people working from home. We've always had distributed workforces, but the difference is that now that's going to happen a whole lot more often. And the demographic has changed, right? So the idea that it's an IT person that works from home or someone who's technically savvy working from home, that has really all changed. And now it's the norm that people are working from home, at least part of the time. And so that presents problems that are both technical nature and person personnel related in nature. But the bottom line is poor experiences. Because of the work from home environment can lead to employee performance. And that can impact your brand and your reputation and your revenue. And I think sometimes we make the mistake of saying, well, they're out of sight out of mind. But that's a short sighted approach. And so what we're really trying to do is to say, look, there are tools out there to help you address this issue. And that's where the SM everywhere comes in. The Raymond, you know, this looks like a good place for us to wrap up today's brief conversation on this, but any final thoughts. Yeah, really, I think the thing to keep in mind is when people are working from home. They really are working coming off. And all of those same rules that we used to apply in the office workspace really should apply in the work from home arena. And by using Versailles service management with VSM everywhere, you can gather those analytics from those work from anywhere environment all the way down to a compatible headset. So you get a full end to end vision of what is happening with those interactions. And so that can give IT teams, ways to address this new Mac. Freeman, you know, I really want to thank you today for giving us a brief overview of this very important topic. I have now even a better understanding of this again, thank you for being on our panel this morning. Thanks for attending the podcast.

then that obviously takes the fast out of fast fashion Now they say they still expect their full year adjusted EBITDA to be about a 125 million pounds And analysts are saying that that is what is elevating boohoo shares this morning that they are reiterating that guidance because perhaps they were worried about a further downgrade Okay so that from boohoo also we're following the national express story this is for M and a Exactly one national express yesterday they found out that their bid for stagecoach group had been trumped by a fund run by a German company but they also posted a full year trading update today and they said that they had improved sales as a result of lifting mobility restrictions in the passenger journeys were up about 37% year on year and they've also hedged their fuel costs at prices lower than 2021 levels and they've had and they've also secured their energy costs for the next three years So in terms of those prices that we've seen in commodities things like gas like oil that's not necessarily going to impact national express too much So they're looking perhaps like they're quite positive moving forward and their shares are up about 5% Okay spirits delivering strong results What about their business Well they're a steam and industrial fluids company And they mainly help companies operate that element of their business Now they delivered organic sales above the pre-pandemic levels And record margins and even its display despite them seeing both of those things that we've really seen this earnings season which is supply chain issues and inflation Now they've seen material cost inflation in energy stainless steel plastics and rubber but they say through their price management so presumably through raising prices they've mitigated the impact of these pressures And that has an impacted their adjusted operating margin significantly So their shares are up about 2.6% this morning Okay also looking forwards Barclay homes and Heathrow So

"Whom he might be pleased to bestow the privilege quote and also there were similar dictates surrounding the wearing of trimmings silver and gold as well as louis the fourteenth signature. Les towel ruse. You know you mentioned the high heels earlier while these are special ones which had red high heels on them and he. I adopted these actually in the seventeenth century in sixteen fifty four and he later granted the privilege of wearing the towel route to select courtiers in his inner circle. So what about the women while women the royal family were expected to wear the whitest as quote unquote honored to where some of the most restricted. Of course it's known as the grandcourt described as quote extremely bothersome and fatiguing the highly inflexible grand corps. Words specifically by marie-antoinette was described by one of her ladies in waiting quote. A specially made corset without shoulder straps laced up on the back. Just tight enough. So that the leasing forefingers on the bottom allowed for a glimpse of chamisa of such fine batiste that would be readily apparent to everyone. If one skin underneath was not sufficiently white the front of the course it was laced as it were with rows of diamonds. Yes and there's quite a bit of price writing out there about the grand corps and some of these more restrictive forms that the women are the royal family war and everybody basically just talk again and again and again and again about like how horribly uncomfortable it was so basically the higher your rank at court the more room uncomfortable. You're honored to be. And i think that would that picture painted. We will leave off their today for our very brief snapshot of eighteenth century dress. There is so much more to say cast set on the trip. We were saying that we could literally spend an entire week doing a so-called kind of like advanced tour that kind of focused specifically and solely on eighteenth century dress. But one of the main things You know that. I just wanna leave off here in the context of eighteenth century address. It for cy is that you know. Fashion and dress were wielded as forms of social control and politicized as markers of class and status. And actually some century progresses. We see this question of what to wear become weaponized and marie-antoinette was frequently the subject of satirical and political cartoons at that time in the context of fashion and you know because she was after all as has been written quote french fashion's brightest star and it's unhappiest victim and if you'd like to earn more on that note we have a few episodes suggestions for you.

Because they help save money. Well i hate to break it to you but geico got it from shakespeare geico fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percents or more so finally one of the last pieces that a woman would be putting on with address itself which was more like an open robe because it didn't meet in the front it didn't close and that is exactly why the stomach or is there the center front of the dresses bodice. The edges of it would be pinned to the stomach to secure robe like dress to the body and that is kind of like the icing on the cake. You know covering this incredible under structure of all of these garments below. Oh yeah and if this counts time consuming it was. It was a lengthy process and one that for upper class women usually required at least one extra pair of hands. Women without servants could certainly dress themselves in similar garments and we highly recommend actually heading over to youtube and checking out a video produced by pass dress guests. Lauren stole of american duchess. She's getting herself dressed in eighteenth century attire. And actually there's a couple of different videos so super cool and we'll put a winner show notes. If you're interested you'll know in that particular video that the course that she puts on a frontline course it so she was actually able to lease herself in by herself but generally speaking you would probably get help from someone else when wearing late back lacing corsets as they would have done at the court oversight yes so while the types of garments worn that like the silhouettes of actual garments might be similar across class. Strata you know the courses and the petticoats and outer gowns if the materials of the garment in which they were made that is definitely not the same o'cl across class data and we cannot stress enough the importance of textiles in the eighteenth century. They could be incredibly valuable given and received as gifts and sometimes some of the more costly items. That person might own. Maybe not if you're an aristocrat of course because they're wearing tons of jewels and all these different things but the point being is that clothing with highly highly valued and not considered disposable. And you know even marie-antoinette had some of her own dresses refashioned because the tech sales themselves were so intrinsically valuable and this place a hand in hand with the wearing of those really wide as right cast yes so one of the most distinctive features of eighteenth century dress is of course the pani as which supported these incredibly wide skirts which could be six feet across the incredible volume of these silhouettes required. Copious amounts of fabric grads taking lee expensive fabric in the case of court dress and the silhouette was a status symbol. To show off your means. And money's you had to be able to afford a lot of fabric. Yeah and this brings up a a different matter entirely of the hierarchy of formality in eighteenth century fashion. And today you know the time of day is often what dictates what is appropriate in terms of what you would wear for a given occasion whether it was in the morning or were there was in the afternoon or whether it was in the evening but this was not necessarily so in the eighteenth century it was more about not the time of day but the formality of the occasion so for instance the same dress might be worn to a formal night out at the opera just as it might be warranted in aristocratic wedding held very early on a tuesday morning at church. So it's really the formality of the occasion that governed address not what time it was on the clock. Adverse cy official court ceremonies required formal court dress so for men. This generally consisted of the finest of their beat francaise frequently featuring mind boggling elaborate embroidery and perhaps trimmings of real gold silver. And of course it might be worth emphasizing that of course at this time everything is made by hand no sewing machines there of course mechanized ways of making textiles but it was all handmade. It all involved people pulling levers etc so just an incredible amount of work with into these garments and then women's court dress had further specifications which included tiers of lace at the end of the sleeves. Just below the elbow. These lay sponsors. Were called on john's on john's weren't exclusively worn for court dress but they were a required element and another required element for full court. Dress was a long train descending from the center back so in the eighteenth century court dresses. Were almost if not always robe all from says in silhouette yeah and actually cast if you think about it. This parlays all the way in to the nineteenth century as well that formality of the of the court dress and the train we even saw in downton abbey yup. Yeah yeah so. I think that where we are right now. Kind of leads us nicely to where we might pick up at a later episode which we should probably do an entire episode dedicated exclusively to marie-antoinette and so we might leave that for a later date. I do want to mention here. That even in court dress Which was warned by those with the right to appear at court in an official capacity even in that top tier formality in terms of court dress. There were actually most of dressing that were exclusive to the royal family and to other specifically honored individuals so for instance cast the sun king louis. The fourteenth declared that the use of brocade fabrics belong to himself the princes of his family and those of his subjects upon.

"Timer two. So i'm actually glad you brought up the point of men wearing diamond jewelry in this manner april because some of our listeners. Already know the wearing of jules lace floral matisse and other style devices while i guess all of our listeners know this right now largely gender feminine but this was not the case in the eighteenth century floral pastels. Jewels sequence. Bright colors plush velvet. They were all part and parcel to the mail. Aristocratic wardrobes as we're high heels which is such a wonderful snippet of fashion history lou. Fourteenth of course was renowned for high heels. We did a whole episode on the history of men inhales with elizabeth. Semel hat. if you're interested in listening but what's super interesting is that europe men were high heels before women. Yes yes and women were lampooned for wearing. Heels is wearing mannish attire. The seventeenth century. So it's super interesting. Hills of course are not a european invention. They arrived at europe at the turn of seventeenth century there an hundreds of years prior and western asian countries in the horseback riding cultures. But louis the fourteenth really took these hills to incredible heights and it really was not until the post revolutionary period that we see what has been referred to as secrete mel renunciation of decorative expression and trust. Yeah because loosely. Speaking it really wouldn't be until the nineteenth century that we see this change in menswear kind of denouncing all of these quote unquote what we think of now as feminine adornments and relegating those things like the pastels and the florals and the diamonds and you know ultimately relegating that to you. Know this feminine sphere. I put that in quotes and part of this all has to do with the french revolution. When the aristocracy or the austrian regime was toppled and all of a sudden they're decadent displays of wealth and the clothing that identified with them. It was literally during the revolution burnt and rips shreds in the aristocracies clothing. Really kind of became a symbol of their elitism in tyranny. Yeah moving forward into the nineteenth century yes okay for our eighteenth century aristocratic lady the process of dressing with a tad more complicated but one of her main looks at the corner of her side would have been for the eighteenth century. Women at court would have been open front gown. Such as the robe ullah francais or a robe along lays and the difference between the two is really hard to tell from the front but from the back you automatically know which is which because the robot on francaise has that really pleaded waterfall effect extending down from the center. Back and the robot anglaise lacked that draping panel and instead the back was very kind of tailored and fitted and a woman for start addressing process with a long linen shamir's undergarment just like her gentlemen counterparts. Then she would put on her knee high knit stockings. Which would have been secured by tying a ribbon just above the knee. No elastic here friends. We got a secure them with something. and then she would have added petticoat over her shimi's before putting on her corset or stays as they would have been called at the time because of course it was not so much a term that came into parlance until the early nineteenth century which trust listeners as promised for very many seasons. Were down for season right. So we've been promising an upset on the course that actually next week we are going to be bringing you one which addresses some of these myths surrounding this controversial garment. Which is the corset. And we will be bussing. These myths with corset maker extraordinaire. Cynthia of red thread. So i can't wait to show that episode with you but we really have to remember. During the eighteenth century the undergarment known as stays was worn by most european and american women across the class spectrum they were everyday garments and lacked. The fetish is connotation some people attached to them today. The really viewed as a utilitarian garment which provided the necessary posture support while simultaneously shaping a woman's torso to the fashionable silhouette of any given era an eighteenth century stays tended to support the bosom from beneath the pushed it. Up and out a fact emphasized by low cut necklines of the dresses of this period. So low in fact that an occasional nip slip was not unheard of nor was he considered overtly sexual. Maybe a bit flirty. Perhaps but normal enough that it is seen drawn into fine art and even mass produced fashion plates era. And i always love when you just come across an image from the eighteenth century. Where like oh hello. But they're they're actually more common than you would suspect so over her course. It would have been tied a women's pandey's which are also known as hoops which were kind of these little basket like structures that held out the very wide expansive skirts of the era. Over as perhaps then the outer petticoat would be put on and you can think of it more as a skirt which either match or contrast did address itself then the woman would add her stomach her and stockbroker stiffen triangle with usually sort of fine fabric or decoration which faces out and it's very very stiff. Undisturbed occurs served the purpose of helping to close open gals. And how that happened is the stalker would have been generally pinned on with long stick pins to the course itself and this also being steph. The course itself is protected. The women from getting poked by all these pins that they were using. And i also just want to say that. That's one of my favorite pictures or images from the kyoto fashion book that were constantly referencing on the show. Is they just have these. The section of stomach irs and. It's such an interesting garment to see or item of clothing to see on its own. Yeah for sure. And the fashions four stomach irs themselves changed over time to which is also really like interesting the shapes and the styles of decoration.

While the idea is that during the royalty is getting his rights from divine rights, So God says you get to became. Yes, they go through the blessing through the coronation. You are blessed by God to become a king. That's all about. It's good said You're the king and I'm the peasant. Then you need to convince me that this is the truth. If you have a fantastic palace, I'm more likely to believe that God's on your side. Well, the fact of having no Ah palace goes with the function of being a king. Even the king cannot show display in a sanitation and then it means power ability. It means the country's weak. Okay. So back then it was totally accepted. And the king had to be, you know, So if I'm just a citizen, I want my kingdom lived like a king. Because he's the guy and very Nick. How would you impress people at Versailles to me?

Music and a lot of festivities and events and all the etiquette and the pump. And so you do this for the people. You do this for the court. But you also do this for the monarchs of other nations. The dignitaries you invite, the other kings are trying to make jealous. Your life is like a show and that is wild. So many of these Kings sought refuge at the back of her side at the back of the gardens in the Triano.

Because when you cross the country of the Hall of mirrors, three only thing you see on both sides on the gardens. Goes on one side of the windows. The other side is the mirrors. And you just surrounded by the gardens. The gardens, which is the nature domesticated by the king, and this is followed the fortunes very important symbol. Because he also has ah vegetable garden where you have strawberries in the winter so he could growth and and nobody will grow at any time. Just maybe If you had have an orange in the winter and then talking of domestication, he domesticated the nobles. Well, today is submitted the novels. What does that mean? How do you let's say if you're the president of United States, and you don't like these senators, you can domesticate them. Well, I'm tournament of party animals. They would be a little hard to keep some busy, but yeah, you can. But the idea was to keep them busy so that they would not make any revolt anymore and spending money in showing off at the court by beautiful outfits and not spending that money in making revolt on the side, so It's to control is nobility, which was very arrogant and very powerful, which was from time to time in the French history taking over so this is fascinating that the king Finally ordained. I mean, God says, you get to be the king. No questions asked. You show off by building this incredible palace. You invite all the other kings there to show your power. Your people support you because they're happy to have God's favorite king on your side. You domesticate nature and you domesticate the nobility who would be the challenged your authority. And then after a while you go too far and then What happens? The people rise up revolution and you lose your head. Yeah. There you go, or you're not to your descendants lose their heads. He did not lose his head was it which which? King said after me the deluge with the 14th him Alright told us and I've had a good run.

They were hungry, and they were not happy. And they basically stormed the palace with a few men. We're assuming a few men dressed as woman. Yes, right. And he has also had their little paring knives in the rolling pin. Even more fury. You know, to the crowd? Yeah. S o. They took the royal family back to Paris with them and marry on 20. Louis.

However a few years ago. She said she visited the palace of versailles in france in which marie-antoinette lived and she arrived at the palace and it was a beautiful spring. Clear day lovely clear weather nice and sunny and she was queuing to go into the palace. Suddenly this massive storm just whips up all the way around where she was from. Nowhere came out of nowhere. The wind was blowing up everywhere. It was that people were running two to try and get out of. The storm was blowing all over the place. The wall to was pelting down and it was almost as if the m the energy of that palace was saying. You've come back to us.

The titular gilgamesh part hero part. Arrogant demi-god undertakes nordic Mission to find the secret to immortality ought to being confronted by the inevitability of his own death though we might not be demigods like gilgamesh his desperate refusal to accept the inevitability of his fate is a deeply human one and something that many of us can sympathize with whether we elect to place our hopes in the promises of religious teachers or in the invention and imagination of our leading bio gerontologist those that studied the mechanics of aging throughout many of us. Who haven't contemplated the possibility of existing forever in one form or another however although some of those may want for it being mortal israeli portrayed as something desirable and at the very least. There's something that can only be achieved at a great cost from the burdens of connor macleod in his pursuit to become the only remaining highlander to the pitiful efforts of melmeth the wanderer to convince another soul to take on his pact with the devil in return for another one hundred fifty years of life. In fact we take great pains to dissuade ourselves from wanting it. Perhaps this is simply to provide some comfort in the face of such a futile desire. But it doesn't stop us trying back in october this year. A team led by tel aviv.

The George Soros Saga: Antisemitism, Conspiracies, and Influence
"Billion-a-year Fillon therapist mega donor George Soros has long been the villain of conspiracy theories. He has also been a target of politicians and pundits on the right who resent his fierce opposition to George W Bush and Donald. Trump, they also object to his philanthropy support of liberal causes support most clearly defined by his mega donations. Earlier this month, the open society foundations, the ill philanthropic group founded by Mr Soros announced it would invest one hundred, fifty million dollars in grants for black lead, racial justice groups, and another seventy million toward local grants for criminal justice reform. The announcement came amid protests in the streets and calls for racial justice sparked by the murder of George. Floyd. Minneapolis those protests, some of which have turned violent have fuelled critics to view those donations as efforts to foment anarchy and back government corruption emily. Tamken. saw these critiques and conspiracy theories already building steam and two thousand sixteen which inspired her to research and write the influence. Of Soros, her latest Book Emily Welcome. Thank you so much for having me on the show so far listeners. Let's take a step back and start with WHO is George Soros not who the conspiracy theorists say he is but who is he really and what causes does he support and why? George. Is a Hungarian born American billionaire he is very influential in three realms the realm of finance, the rubber philanthropy, and the realm of politics in finance. He was a very famous and successful hedge fund manager. He's maybe the most famous and successful currency speculator in the history of finance, and then you know in the nineteen seventies after making a lot of money, he decides to start giving away some of that money to the cause of what he calls open society. The title comes the Name Open Society comes. From this book by Karl. Popper who was Soros's tutor at the London School of Economics and basically the premise of open society and its enemies is that this gross over simplification but basically, the premise is that you know neither you nor I can really know the truth. So what we're supposed to do is all of us together in a society come together and we discuss and debate, and we try to reach this perfect understanding and practice that's meant giving students scholarships. It's meant setting up a university in. It's meant you know after the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc in Suva Union paying for Internet for various government ministries and trying to connect people to information. He's also a big an influential figure in politics beginning in two thousand four. In the United States, he decided that he really wanted George W Bush out of office and became a major political donor. So I think you know I WANNA be careful to make clear that the political spending is separate from thirty but because he's this major philanthropic and also major political donor and because the political donations or not exclusively, but do tend to be four Democrats in liberal causes. I think that that colors the perception of some not just on the right but particularly, some people on the right in the United States. So source is a Hungarian. Jewish emigrant right tell us more about his upbringing and how it informed his philanthropy and political activism nineteen thirty Hungary is the Inter war period between World War One and World War Two prior to World War One Jews in the Hungarian part of the austro-hungarian Empire were more assimilated than many other Jews in Europe. They really saw themselves. Many of them saw themselves as Hungarian were part of the Hungarian national project report of this Lake Glittering Budapest life world we're one happens Hungary is on the losing side they lose a lot of their territory in the tree of and all, which is like the austro-hungarian version of the treaty of Versailles. And for a variety of reasons, the Jews are scapegoated for this. So you have these he's born into this world where you start having a Jewish quotas laws meant to persecute Jews, and this is. Even, before World War Two, his father has them changed their name from shorts to Soros to seem less obviously Jewish in this increasingly hostile environment his father had previously like escaped. Prison camp in Siberia during World War, one and made his way back to Hungary during the Russian civil war. So he knew something about survival. World to comes and there's there's not the occupation and there's the Arrow Cross which is like the Hungarian variant. He sees his father as this great protective figure who helped other people the father. was procured bull forged embargo documents of the Soros family and friends in front of friends could hide out is Christians during during the time, but he also he's persecuted for being Jewish he then after world, War Two is living under a certainly not the same kind of persecution but under a repressive oppressive socialist regime and I think that this is two things one, it makes this concept of society where we can all debate and discuss very attractive and I also think that for him because he was persecuted on the basis of his ethnicity religion. That inspired in him. The understanding that it was important to try to help whatever group was caught under the wheel at a given moment with this history and background in mind. IS IT ANTI Semitic to criticize Mr Soros and the causes he supports I'm not saying the criticizing Soros is. Anti Semitic I think he's done things that you can criticise part of the reason that I wrote this book is that it should be what he is actually done and the money that he's actually spent not money that he has never spent and thinks he has never going to do that to me is when it trips over into in antisemitic conspiratorial.

It's like now you're synonymous with. Food and food media and restaurants, but back then when you were thinking about making this transition, what were some of the first steps? How did you begin to think about it? Well. You know it was kind of a fluke.

Monocle 24: The Briefing
A look at Fred C. Trump's view of the world
"The pioneers important ship with Rolex when Donald Trump was announcing his candidacy for presidency. He said the American dream is dead and talked about how he was going to put America first now. Both of those phrases would certainly have been familiar to Fred. See Trump indeed so Frederick Chris trump to give him his full name. That was a family name. But it's hard not to enjoy the laugh. He who was of course. Trump's MM father now people have slightly misread. The sometimes in assumed that because Fred trump was an adult in the twenty s that he must have been trump's grandfather and in fact reviews of my book talked about Fred Trump as his grandfather. No no no the point is he's his father. We forget and I think to our peril first of all how old Donald Trump is as. He was born in Nineteen forty-six and secondly that he was the son of a much older father. So Fred See. Trump actually was a young man in this era that I'm talking about in the twenty s and so the world that he inhabited was this America. First `isolation xenophobic eugenicist world. Like Tom Buchanan Bannon. That took that stuff for granted it was a highly racist society and even the more progressive people were of course very very racist and many of their attitudes kids and Fred trump raised donald trump. You know in the forties in my view to with this worldview and basically what I'm saying the book is the apple doesn't fall Oliver far from the tree and trump has said over and over again how much he admires his father how much he adheres to his father's worldview most importantly in my live you the thing he said over and over and over again is that he is a believer in eugenics. Now trump himself never remembers the word eugenics. But that's neither here nor there. The attitudes that he's espousing he says over and over again. He's given dozens of interviews. You easy to find just Google Donald Trump and eugenics and you see him on video for twenty years thirty thirty years saying that. He's a believer in what he calls the gene theory. or He's a believer in jeans. He believes in what he thinks of as the racehorse theory of genes. which is that when you get a superior type person and you marry that superior type person to another superior type person you get superior type people that is eugenicist and that is very clearly what he believes? Leaves end in Fred. Trump's world that idea was America first and you can place for trump historically right at the heart of does indeed so in one thousand nine twenty seven it was actually just at the peak of America first political traction it was just starting to lose credibility Partly because of the way that it had been monetize so it was getting associated with corruption. Both by the clan in with a very corrupt Chicago mayor from my hometown the most corrupt city in America. A A guy called big Bill Thompson. Who was using America first to try to? It was a money making scheme. Also some things never change anyway so it was about to kind of really lose credence but at the peak of it in nineteen twenty seven in Queens which of course is where Donald trump would eventually grow up. It's where Fred trump was already living at that point and there was a memorial Oriole Day parade in May nineteen twenty seven at which the clan controversial had been permitted to March. They were given a permit now. This incident has since trump's election and been aronie ASLI described as Klan Rally and. I think it's important that we note the distinction. It was a Memorial Day parade at which the veterans were marching and the Red Cross was marching and children were marching and there were twenty thousand spectators. Not because they wanted to support the clan but because they were there for national parade but the Klan had as I say controversially been given permission mission to March in this parade as long as they weren't roped was what the police told them and it was a first amendment issue again about the right to assemble in the right to free speech. And so you can see why they said that they could. But they couldn't be hooded and gowned and some of them decided to be hooded and gown and scuffles broke out among the twenty thousand spectators. Because some actually objected to it as hate speech just as we would today some defended on the basis of freedom of speech just as people would today so these kind of scuffles broke out and it turned into a full blown riot. Twenty thousand people fighting over the clan in Queens and out of that twenty thousand six men were arrested five of whom self identified the police reports as clansmen and the sixth was Fred see trump. Now that is not proof that Fred trump was clansman and again some people have said arrests shows that he was. I don't think that does I don't think we can make quite that step. But it is remarkable to me that out of twenty thousand people the only six were arrested five of clansmen and one of them was trump. And what I do say in the book is that and I firmly believe this. Is that whatever we think Fred. Trump's reasons for being there might have been. He was not there to protest the clan and we know that because of his later record on race relations he was so racist when he started his property property development in the nineteen fifties which by the way he got from government loans. So all of these guys who you know they hate government handouts. But that's how Fred trump got his start was from a government handout and there was some kind of it is indeed it was he was hauled up before Congressional Committee to admit that he wildly overstated the cost of his loans which is in the book some might call fraud so he defrauded the government went to get handouts and then these and then his son is telling us that handouts are terrible and nobody should have handouts and out of this. He built these tenements. He built these housing projects in the New York area in Brooklyn Brooklyn and Queens and his policies for renting to tenants in these housing projects. Were so racist that Woodie Guthrie in the nineteen fifties wrote a song about how racist it was because he lived in one of them. It's called Almond trump. And it's about how racist Fred trump was and you have to be racist in the fifties to get people's attention for our racist assist. You are by one thousand nine hundred ninety three which was the year that Donald Trump took over the trump property empire from his father. They were sued by the Nixon Administration. Restauration for racial discrimination. And again you know the Nixon administration was not going out of its way to sue over racial discrimination it had to be so gratuitous for the Nixon administration to go after them and then of course in the case of Donald there are things like the central park five the five black men wrongly accused of raping a woman in Central Park. He called for the death penalty. Not with them. They were totally exonerated by DNA. He has never apologized. He has never said that he still calls it. A miscarriage of justice and it was a miscarriage of justice but not in the way that he thinks. So what I say is that although we cannot say that Fred trump was a card carrying member of the KKK. He was arrested with five of them and nothing that he ever did in the rest of his misbegotten life makes me think that he was there to argue against the clamp. Do you think a trump. Donald trump has a full understanding branding given how ignorant and he missed. His supporters appears to be an understanding of the origin of these phrases. And can they be reinterpreted in a positive way so first of all. I think that be the best way to understand. This is that it's like it's a world view that he grew up with. He's profoundly racist. We have so much evidence to see. How racist he is does? Does he know the detailed history of this. Of course not in fact historians don't know that detailed history of this Ri- wouldn't have written the book so nobody knows it but the fact that America first has these meanings meanings is definitely not lost to history and the KKK kept it alive underground. And all of these Neo Nazi groups and right wing groups kept this phrase alive and there's lots of evidence at that they would have rallies in the sixties and say it's an America first rally you can find the flyers and handbills and stuff. So there's lots of ephemeral evidence over the years that they kept this phrase alive and now they're using it on Neo Nazi message boards. It's on the daily stormer on storm. Front it's on their websites. So these guys have always used that phrase and when and David Duke who of course is the the most senior member of the KKK in America when he endorsed Donald Trump. He did so using that phrase he said he stands for what I've always stood for. He stands for America. Erica I it is a racist dog whistle and certainly trump's advisors know that Steve Bannon does read history. And Steve. Bannon doesn't know this Steve. Bannon also resuscitated facilitated a phrase called economic nationalism which he talks about all the time and most people don't realize that economic nationalism was part of the America first platform in Nineteen Nineteen and nineteen twenty and it was to keep America out of the League of nations to keep it from signing the treaty of Versailles because Europe was a cabal of overlords who wanted to create a global economy and they were going to make America a vassal state. which should sound pretty familiar? And it's not only about the ways that has shaped American political debates but of course it sounds an awful lot like the way that people talk about Brexit and as we know Bannon has been closely involved Cambridge analytica which he was on the board of has been closely involved with both of these campaigns and and his idea of economic nationalism is a hundred year old America first agenda. He did not pluck that phrase out of the air. Stephen Miller who remains trump's senior senior advisor he's the author of the policy that separating immigrant families at the southern border. He was also clearly. The author of the speech that trump gave in the oval office when he argued for his wall so he Stephen Miller also knows this stuff and the other phrase that was really associated with America. I which which I spent a lot of time explaining in the book was one hundred percent American which was another code and Stephen Miller on his high school yearbook page that he was one hundred percent American. So these guys do know these codes and I don't know that Donald Trump understands all of this history and understands how all of it intersects but he knows that it all supports his basic world view which is a eugenicist assist world view and that is the one that he learned from his father who also knew that this stuff was America first and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he had grown up in the fifties hearing his father. Talk about America. I that wouldn't surprise me one little bit. So is the American dream dead and do we revive it by putting America first in my view is that we shouldn't try it's like saying. Can we resuscitate tate. Heil Hitler will you could. But why would you want to. I want to do the opposite which is to discredited with.
