In just 100 days, Donald Trump and the Republican Party have upended the post WWII international order. From pulling out of the WHO to undermining international courts, backing away from NATO to slashing foreign aid, this generation’s GOP is rapidly dismantling America's role as a global leader. In this episode, Stacey looks beyond U.S. borders and sits down with Ben Rhodes—former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama and co-host of Pod Save the World—to unpack this seismic shift in world affairs… and whether there’s still time to stop it from becoming permanent.
Learn & Do More:
- BE CURIOUS: Stay informed about global events and how to make sense of them by tuning in to Ben and Tommy’s weekly analysis on Pod Save the World. And read Ben’s opinion piece in the NYT.
- SOLVE PROBLEMS: As Ben said, we can’t give in—we have to imagine more. Our government doesn't define who we are as a country. Take action where you can: volunteer to help refugees, support foreign students in your community, and show them they are welcome. Be part of the effort to re-engage with the world.
- DO GOOD: With the decline of U.S. AID, many NGOs have stepped in to fill the gap. One of them is CARE.ORG, which provides essential healthcare, nutritious food, clean water, and protection from violence for women and girls around the globe. Consider supporting their mission.
