How Costa Rica Avoided Cold War Violence | NowThis World
Costa Rica has sometimes been called “the Switzerland of Central America” because of its stable government and economy. » Subscribe to NowThis World: http://go.nowth.is/World_Subscribe » Watch the Previous Episode: https://go.nowth.is/2tWUHqv In fact, Costa Rica is the 13th happiest place in the world, just a few spots behind Sweden and other European countries famous for their generous welfare states. In 1948, a civil war broke out in Costa Rica. The civil war was fought between Costa Rica’s Communist Party and a National Liberation Army lead by José Figueres. Figueres won the 44-day war and became Costa Rica’s provisional president. And he began making a few key decisions that would help Costa Rica avoid the same fate as its neighbors and set up a stable democracy. Because in the coming decades, the country’s neighbors in Central America wouldn’t be so lucky. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador all had political conflicts during the Cold War that drew in the United States and set the stage for the instability facing those countries today. Today, Costa Rica is still benefiting from the decisions the government made during these early years of the Cold War. In fact, this Latin American country, whose name means “Rich Coast,” is the happiest country in the region, according to a 2018 World Gallup World Poll. And the country has remained proud of its progressive tradition on issues like the environment, human rights, and democracy. But how did Costa Rica escape the corruption, instability, and violent political struggles that have plagued many Latin American countries during and since the Cold War, and emerge as the region’s “happiest” country?

Spain's Plan to Quit the Coal Industry Explained | NowThis World
Climate change is happening. And one industry in particular will have to undergo a huge transformation and all but disappear by 2050…. The coal industry. » Subscribe to NowThis World: http://go.nowth.is/World_Subscribe » Watch the Previous Episode: https://go.nowth.is/2TVSSsk But what does this mean for that industry and governments around the world? And what about the workers the coal industry employs? We’re taking a look at the steps one country is taking to prepare for a clean energy economy, while trying to make sure no one gets left behind. To avoid the most devastating consequences of climate change, a United Nations panel of scientists has recently warned that drastic action is required around the world. In Spain. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez government's priorities was taking immediate action to address climate change. That meant drastic action to limit Spain’s coal industry. The country had to comply with a European Union directive that said that public funds could no longer be used to keep unprofitable coal mines open. This meant that those mines had to be shut down by the end of 2018. And that is exactly what happened. By December of 2018, roughly three out of four of Spain’s coal miners clocked out of work for the last time. Spain’s socialist government cut a deal with several affiliated miner’s unions, referred to as the ‘Just Transition’ deal.” So we’re taking a look at the innovative steps Spain is taking to prepare for a clean energy economy, while trying to make sure no one gets left behind.

Trump’s Historic 'National Emergency’ Explained | NowThis World
President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency over border wall funding. The declaration allows the president to unilaterally divert billions of dollars from military construction projects to fund this border wall. But now, Trump’s declaration is being challenged in the courts and Congress. In a historic vote on February 26th, the House of Representatives voted to block a presidential national emergency for the first time ever. » Subscribe to NowThis World: http://go.nowth.is/World_Subscribe » Watch the Previous Episode: https://go.nowth.is/2HaFPNd Many other presidents have used this power before. But this declaration isn’t normal. At all. Because by using it to fund his proposed border wall, he has made it the first time a president has used this power to pay for policy that had already been rejected by Congress. Right now, 16 states are suing the president for what they say is an “unconstitutional” use of executive power. The lawsuit claims the president has used a quote “manufactured crisis” to call for an emergency. In this episode, we’ll explain Trump’s recent action, and the legal battles it face. We’ll explore the history of presidential National Emergencies in America. And speak to one of the leading experts on this issue, Elizabeth Goitein, to help us better understand what’s different about Trump’s declaration and why it could be setting a dangerous precedent.

Why Is China Investing Billions in Africa? | NowThis World
China has invested billions of dollars into the continent of Africa to build massive infrastructure projects in African countries. Much of this infrastructure is part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, an estimated 1 trillion dollar plan to connect the country to trade routes all over the world. » Subscribe to NowThis World: http://go.nowth.is/World_Subscribe » Watch the Previous Episode: https://go.nowth.is/2LhNmtv While China’s Belt and Road Initiative was only proposed in 2013, the country’s first infrastructure project on the African continent was built decades ago. The TazaHra railway, completed in 1976, was built to connect copper mines in Zambia to Dar EH Salaam, Tanzania’s former capital. The TazHara railway was the first infrastructure project built on a pan-African scale. China’s Belt and Road projects will be designed to create new trade routes within and between African countries. In 2017, a Chinese firm opened a railway network in Kenya, connecting its capital Nairobi to the port city of Mombasa. There are already plans to extend this network into South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Many observers worry that African countries won’t be able to pay back these debts, placing them in what’s been called a quote “debt trap.” But others think that as African countries rise economically, they could actually have the upper hand by the time they negotiate payments back to China. This explains why African leaders have been so confident in calling Chinese investment a “win-win.” But is China’s investment in the continent actually a “win-win” as some African and Chinese leaders have said? OR is it just a new form of colonialism on a continent that’s experienced so much of it? In this episode, we’re examining China’s Belt and Road Initiative and what it might mean for Africa.

Why People Are Leaving Blue States — And Why Dems Should Worry
Democrats are facing a ticking time bomb: the 2032 presidential election. Halfway through the decade, projections show an alarming trend for Democrats: Big blue states like California and New York are shedding population — while big red states like Florida and Texas are booming. If these trends hold, the 2030 census and reapportionment will bring a 2032 election electoral map even more heavily tilted to Republicans. At the same time, voters in blue states rebelling against the Democratic brand: In 2024, Donald Trump make his biggest inroads in deep blue enclaves. Why is all this occurring? The answer just might come down to one, key issue: housing.

Why Democrats May Never Win The Senate Again
The Senate map is ugly for the Democratic Party. It might get even uglier. In 2024, the party pulled off a big feat, winning Senate races in four states that voted for Donald Trump the same night: Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin. That defied history and kept Republicans from winning a near-supermajority. But in the coming years, that kind of luck might not be enough; the intersection of two, long-brewing trends could make the Senate a near-lock for the GOP. And without a plan for how to address that problem, Democrats might be doomed for decades. One person now proposing an unconventional solution is Bernie Sanders — and it involves Independent candidates.

Why DOGE & the deficit could break up Trump and Musk
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance is one of the most powerful in recent political history. What happens when it gets to Washington? As Trump is inaugurated for his second term, one of the biggest differences from the first time is the new Department of Government Efficiency — or DOGE. The initiative, championed by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, wants to cut as much as $2 trillion from the federal budget. But an examination of the data reveals a stark truth: Very quickly, DOGE will run head-on into the realities of federal budgeting — and a crucial Trump campaign promise. If that happens, the new president may face a difficult decision soon.

3 Paths Democrats Could Take for a 2028 Comeback
After Donald Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, the Democratic Party is still in the early stages of figuring out what went wrong and where to go next. Its rebuilding process could take years and, with Republicans more popular than any time in decades, there’s no guarantee of Democratic success next time. But the party’s time in the wilderness might not last as long as many expect. The paths to a comeback are out there — and recent history offers three clear examples.

Why Trump winning the elite could backfire
Donald Trump won the presidency by being an anti-elite elite. What happens when the elites embrace him? Over the past 20 years, Democrats became increasingly associated with the establishment forces of media, tech, politics, and culture. At the same time, as Martin Gurri outlined in his book “Revolt of the Public,” voters in the U.S. and across the world began rebelling against the establishment wherever they could find it. The combination of those two facts go a long way towards explaining Trump’s win in 2024. But now, the landscape is rapidly changing: Many of the same elites that once shunned Trump are embracing him and conservatives are on the march in government and culture. What happens when the dynamic switches?

Why Democrats Are Favored to Win the 2026 Midterms
2024 exposed a huge weakness for Democrats. But what if that weakness becomes a strength in 2026? A year and a half ahead of the midterm elections, the political landscape is still unsettled. But one thing is becoming clear: The changes in the Democratic and Republican Party’s coalitions will have a huge impact on the results of the 2026 midterms. And the same thing that led Republicans to victory in 2024 — their new strength with blue-collar, disengaged, disaffected voters — could be their undoing in a lower turnout cycle.

What Happened to the Old Swing States?
How did the 2024 election get narrowed down to seven core swing states? American presidential elections are perpetually close — but individual states are moving farther and farther apart. That’s one factor contributing to the unprecedented influence of an ever-shrinking crop of battleground states. So why do these states hold such power? How did they become the center of the political universe? And is life better in a swing state?

This Is Why Trump Could Actually Win Nevada
Nevada might be the smallest swing state but, in a historically close race, every electoral vote counts. And this year, the Silver State could be a symbol of something much bigger. Both Republicans and Democrats are making big wagers this year: Donald Trump believes he can flip longtime Democratic voters, especially working-class Latino voters. Kamala Harris’s campaign is betting on its traditional turnout advantage. Which side is right could decide not just Nevada but the whole race.

Young Men Could Decide the 2024 Election — Here's Why
Let's just cut to the chase: The 2024 election is a referendum on masculinity. Polling and studies are showing boys and men sinking deeper into toxicity and veering rightward into conservatism. At the same time, women are charting more and more liberal. Donald Trump and Republicans offer one view of manhood: put up or shut up. Kamala Harris and Democrats offer another less hardened view. But it was Barack Obama's words to young Black men that prompted us to head down to Georgia to see how young men were taking it all.

But what rules are on the table? That's a whole other ballgame that the outgoing Biden admin and incoming Trump admin are both sizing up. Grace is here to help you get to know the CRA before the GOP blitz. With Republicans in Congress serving as the jury and sharpie-wielding Trump as executioner, anything from tobacco age limits, to water heaters, to overdraft fees is on the table. And in case you were wondering: Yes, Elon Musk is always in the mix. 0:00-1:03: Intro 1:04-2:06: What is the CRA 2:07-3:00: Lookback Period 3:01-4:30: Trump 2017 CRAs 4:31-5:57: Lifetime Rule Ban 5:58-7:33: Biden CRA Planning 7:34-8:59: Incoming GOP CRAs 9:00-10:47: A New Precedent?

How Rising Bird Flu Is Linked to Influencers Pushing Raw Milk
People on the internet will literally say anything — with confidence too. There's no shortage of diet fads and life hacks being peddled by posters who swear their newest discovery has changed their entire life. In this case, the miracle in question is raw, unpasteurized milk. 'It cleared up my skin, it reversed my lactose intolerance, it cured my IBS." Just one problem: the studies, the data, the facts don't back it up. As we enter into the MAHA Era — yes, that's Make America Healthy Again — we're sure to see an even greater uptick in misinformation and disinformation sold as fix-all solutions for America's ailing culture. Convenient timing for one raw-milk drinking, vaccine-denying RFK Jr. as he's poised to take over our health agencies under Trump. We figured the best thing to do is provide you with a media literacy lesson: questions to ask when someone makes outrageous claims about health —or really anything — online. 00:00 Intro 01:07 A little listeria goes a long way 03:51 Testing Paul Saladino 06:52 Raw milk masterminds? 07:34 The new pro-choice movement 08:36 Legitimacy pipeline 09:40 Credit to RFK Jr. 10:50 The access issue #rawmilk #makeamericahealthyagain #health Subscribe to The Recount https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmsrXvrQ1S_61vVO-fNL-Mg?sub_confirmation=1 Twitter https://twitter.com/therecount Instagram https://www.instagram.com/TheRecount/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@therecount Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheRecount/ Website https://therecount.com/
