The Daily · 'The Interview': Antony Blinken Insists He and Biden Made the Right Calls · 4 Jan 2025
podcast
Do you, Secretary Blinken, worry that perhaps you have been presiding over what the world will see as a genocide?
Your tenure, as we've said, has been filled with many complicated conflicts. At the same time, there's been a lot of reporting on President Biden's declining abilities over the course of his term. You are one of the closest people to him. You have worked with him for decades. By some accounts, he considers you a surrogate son.
This is a delicate question to ask, but I do feel that many Americans want to understand that. If you saw changes from the man that you knew so well.
Last summer, my colleague Robert Draper reported that people in the diplomatic corps worried that the president's memory, for example, was showing signs of slipping while he was meeting with foreign leaders.
On a personal note, your own story is very much defined by this fight against autocracy. Your stepfather was a Holocaust survivor who was saved from the death camps by American soldiers. It's an incredible story. You've said that you learned lessons from him about what our country is and what it represents and what it means when the United States is engaged in leading the
And I'm wondering, as you look at the end of your tenure, as you've been leading over the last four years, and you're handing off, as we've discussed, many of these conflicts that are still unresolved, and you have come under a lot of criticism, do his lessons strike you differently now than they did before that you've been through the fire, so you will, of really being the person at the forefront of making these very, very difficult choices?
Secretary, thank you so much for your time. I appreciate it.

The Daily · 'The Interview': Rick Steves Refuses To Get Cynical About the World · 14 Dec 2024
podcast
From The New York Times, this is The Interview. I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro. The minute I left university, I put on a backpack and went to see the world. I climbed the Andes in Ecuador. I taught English in Cambodia. I spent months visiting monasteries in Tibet. It was the most transformative period of my life. Lately, though, I feel like my travel mojo is gone.
Instead of traveling to discover, I now travel to retreat. I'm often overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, so when it's time for vacation, I choose a destination that doesn't ask too much of me, and I don't give much back. Rick Steves has been helping millions of people, including people like me, expand their travel horizons since he was in his 20s.
The prolific guidebook writer and beloved PBS personality believes that travel can make not only the world a better place, but you a better person. He's 69 now, but his upcoming book is about how it all began, with a trip he took after university like me. It's called On the Hippie Trail, and it's the journal entries he wrote as he traveled the 3,000 miles from Istanbul to Kathmandu in 1978.
It's full of the joy of exploration and discovery. And I wanted to talk to him to relearn how to feel that sense of communion with the world. Here's my conversation with travel guru, Rick Steves. I was reading your newest book, which are the diaries of a trip that you took in 1978 when you were 23 years old on what was called the hippie trail.
When you reread those diaries, what did it evoke in you when you looked at that 23-year-old with the hindsight of age now?
What did that make you feel?
So reading this book really brought me back because when I was 23, I went on my own version of the hippie trail. And I went to different countries. I went to Asia. But the thing that changed the course of my life happened there. I was in Vietnam. And it was the 20-year anniversary of the fall of Saigon. And I was not interested in journalism in any way, shape, or form.
And I happened to be at this bar called Apocalypse Now.
Which is named, of course, after the film. And I happened to run into a whole bunch of journalists that were there to commemorate the 20th anniversary that had covered the war. And I met them and hung out with them for a while. And that was my first exposure to journalism and being a foreign correspondent, which is what ended up being my career. Yes.
