This panel discussion on the legacy of George Shultz, former US secretary of state and Hoover Institution senior fellow, features Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice; Israeli politician and human rights activist Natan Sharansky; and Abraham Sofaer, the former legal advisor to the State Department under George Shultz. Together, they reflect on Shultz's contributions to US foreign policy, human rights, and the end of the Cold War. The discussion explores Shultz's deep commitment to human rights, particularly in supporting Soviet refuseniks and advancing the cause of freedom in the USSR. The panelists recount how Shultz worked alongside President Ronald Reagan to integrate human rights into diplomatic negotiations, leverage the Helsinki Accords, and challenge the Soviet Union's authoritarian system. Sharansky, a former Soviet dissident imprisoned for 12 years for his activism, shares personal experiences of Shultz's support for Soviet Jews and recounts the political maneuvering that contributed to his own release. Sofaer, Hoover's George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy and National Security Affairs, and Rice discuss Shultz's diplomatic philosophy, his strategic role in Reagan's administration, and his ability to bridge the gap between hardline anti-communism and pragmatic diplomacy. The conversation also touches on the role of ideas in shaping policy and whether current generations fully grasp the stakes of international conflict in the way Cold War leaders like Shultz and Reagan did. The panelists debate modern revisionist views on the end of the Cold War with a strong defense of Reagan and Shultz's deliberate strategy to weaken the Soviet Union. Ultimately, the discussion serves as both a tribute to the life and times of George Shultz and a reflection on leadership, diplomacy, and the enduring battle of ideas in world affairs.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is in charge of the Hoover Institution at Stanford, says "this is a moment of education" for young people about the challenges in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "I live on a college campus," Sec. Rice explained during a conversation today with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell 🇺🇸 and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, "And I would say to young people: Yes, I understand the passion, but also try to understand how hard this is. You know, one of my colleagues asked some of the young people who were yelling, 'From the river to the sea,' 'from what river to what sea?' And they did not know. So, this is a moment of education also of why this has been hard."

🇷🇺🇪🇺🇺🇸Stanford University fellow explains why the Russian economy is doing well despite sanctions. Eyck Freymann said that it is thanks to those main steps of the Russian central bank: 1) Raised fees for deposits to 20% 2) Restricted the amount of money people can withdraw from banks and put abroad. 3) Oil prices went up. This all allowed Russia to stabilize itself for the long term. Freymann highlighted that Russia is having as much revenue as it had before the conflict - “arguably even more”. Author: Eyck Freymann, a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University, specializes in international trade, speaks at Harvard University.

For the second edition of the George P. Shultz Memorial Lecture Series, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice, Senior Fellow Michael Boskin, and Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson assemble for a wide-ranging conversation on the economic mind and legacy of George P. Shultz. From his early career as a labor economist at MIT and the University of Chicago to his battles in the White House cabinet over wage and price controls, the closing of the gold window, and the inflation that defined the Nixon and Reagan eras, Shultz emerges as a rare figure who fused intellectual rigor with political pragmatism. The panel explores how his beliefs in free markets, personal integrity, and "trust as the coin of the realm" shaped his actions, from collective bargaining and desegregation to global diplomacy—right up to his famous economic tutorials for Mikhail Gorbachev in the Kremlin. This is a timely look at how one man's economic philosophy helped steer American policy for half a century. Watch the full episode of Uncommon Knowledge on X:
