The Daily Signal - Why Boris Johnson Resigned and What It Means for Britain’s Future

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation Thursday, saying his party had made it clear he should do so.

“It is clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore, a new prime minister,” Johnson told a crowd outside the prime minister's official residence and office at 10 Downing Street in London.

The prime minister said he would step down as more than 50 of his ministers resigned.

Among other recent missteps, Johnson was criticized for appointing a Conservative in Parliament, Chris Pincher, to a government position after having knowledge of sexual misconduct allegations against Pincher.

Theodore "Ted" Bromund, a Heritage Foundation senior research fellow in Anglo-American relations, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why Johnson is stepping down and what his resignation means for Great Britain and for America’s relationship with the U.K.

Lost Debate - Ep 59 | Biden v. Bezos, FL Education Wars, Another Supreme Court Bombshell, Fiscal Refugees

In this special episode, Ravi is once again outnumbered by two libertarian guest co-hosts: Reason Magazine writer Liz Wolfe and political commentator Stephen Kent. They discuss the feud between the White House and Jeff Bezos over gas prices and inflation. Then they turn to a controversial teacher’s training program in Florida that, some say, is infused with Christian and conservative ideology. The three hosts also weigh in on a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that some claim is more significant than the decision on abortion rights. Finally, Liz argues that cities like Austin and Miami, which have successfully lured away Californians, are at risk of replicating many of the Golden State’s flawed policies.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - The New Founders America Needs

There are nearly 4000 universities in the U.S.. Many of them have billions of dollars in endowments and histories that go back to well before the country's founding. So you'd be forgiven for thinking that it would be a bit ridiculous to try and compete with those Goliaths. 


But that's exactly what the new University of Austin or UATX is doing. The premise, of course, is simple, and it goes like this. While the brand name schools have the money, they no longer have the mission. They have fundamentally abandoned the point of the university, which is the pursuit of truth. The good people at UATX, where I'm proud to be on the board, are not waiting for the broken status quo to change. They're not sitting around criticizing or whining. They are doing. 


Just a few weeks ago, UATX opened its doors to its first students at its inaugural summer school. I was blown away by the students that I met there, and I was honored to lecture alongside teachers like Neil Ferguson, Kathleen Stock, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Rob Henderson and Thomas Chatterton Williams. And today I wanted to share with all of you the talk that I gave at the old parkland in Dallas to that first class of students. It's about the broken moment that we're in as a culture and a country, but more it's about what I think is required of us to meet this moment.

Headlines From The Times - The rise and fall of a Hollywood almost-was

Randall Emmett had built a career for himself in Hollywood over the past decade as a producer of schlocky action films featuring cameos of iconic actors like Bruce Willis and Al Pacino. But in recent years, he was at the cusp of finally gaining mainstream respect. He had a recurring role on the reality TV hit “Vanderpump Rules” and produced Martin Scorsese’s last two films. But a Times investigation found that multiple former assistants and people who worked for Emmett alleged improper behavior.

Today, we get into the rise and fall of Emmett, and what it says about the Hollywood of today. Read the full transcript here.

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: L.A. Times corporate media reporter Meg James and L.A. Times senior entertainment writer Amy Kaufman
