Jack BradleyCORRESPONDENT
Kerry?
Kerry DunstHOST
And Jack, the president also today awarding the nation's most prestigious medals to several leading tech executives at the Institute of Peace today.
Kerry DunstHOST
Who did he recognize?
Jack BradleyCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, so that was several of America's top tech leaders being recognized for innovations in science and technology, thereby strengthening the U.S. economy and national security.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
For others, there's, there's such a fixation in Washington on, in projecting bipartisan comity, right? The idea that, isn't it great, politics stops at the water's edge.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
It's a staggering approach when you think that the Biden administration a couple of days prior had been saying, "Trump is a threat to everything we hold dear, and we're very scared of what will happen." I think about a moment with Jake Sullivan appearing with Trump's incoming national security advisor at the US Institute for Peace a couple of days before the handover, and the message was very much, "Isn't it great we're sitting here together? We are, we are showing that the US is not vulnerable." Of course, the Trump administration shut down that institute a couple of days afterwards.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
It was very clear that their approach to foreign policy was going to throw out these liberal values and to do even more damage to a deliberative and professional process than the Biden administration had already done with their Gaza approach.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
What they chose to do was to treat these very shaky ceasefires in Lebanon and in Gaza as, uh, sort of huge triumphs.

Don SwansNARRATOR
In an exclusive excerpt from Michael Lewis' Blockers, the inside story of the high-stakes standoff between Doge operatives and security chief Colin O'Brien.
Don SwansNARRATOR
Colin O'Brien was the chief security officer at the United States Institute of Peace.
Don SwansNARRATOR
Mostly that meant keeping the Institute's 400 employees scattered across 28 difficult countries safe from harm.
Don SwansNARRATOR
Mostly he had succeeded.
Don SwansNARRATOR
But no one had been killed.
Don SwansNARRATOR
Now on this late afternoon of March 14th, 2025, the threat was right here in Washington, D.C. Three young men from the Department of Government Efficiency were trying to argue their way into the Institute building, a building that housed an Institute that should have been far removed from the politics of the day.
Don SwansNARRATOR
The 1984 law signed by Ronald Reagan establishing the Institute of Peace stipulated that it would be run by a board of 15 people, only eight of whom could belong to a single political party.
Don SwansNARRATOR
The money for the new Institute would come from Congress and private donations.

[Instrumental music] This is Bloomberg Law with June Grasso from Bloomberg Radio.
June GrassoHOST
In December of last year, the State Department announced that it was renaming the US Institute of Peace, calling it the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace to, quote, "Reflect the greatest deal maker in our nation's history." Of course, Trump's name was affixed in large silver letters on the building in DC, just in time for his welcoming African leaders there for a peace agreement signing between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I want to thank the leaders.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I want to thank you very much.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't want to tell you how much it costs because I hear it's a lot.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[laughing] Okay? They ne- they don't build inexpensively here.
June GrassoHOST
The irony is the renaming came after the Trump administration dismantled the Institute of Peace, including removing its president, Senate-confirmed board members, and staff.
June GrassoHOST
That's led to a legal challenge which hasn't been resolved yet.

Para el ángulo político, le cedemos la palabra a Daniel.
DanielCORRESPONDENT
Este jueves, el presidente Trump anunció un nuevo hub doméstico de cómputo para inteligencia artificial, presentado como el SI Compute Hub en el sureste del país, en el US Institute of Peace, enmarcándolo como el siguiente paso para mantener el liderazgo estadounidense en la tecnología.
DanielCORRESPONDENT

Don SwansNARRATOR
They had indeed threatened to pull Intercon's $460 million state department contract.

Don SwansNARRATOR
And merely two days, Colin could not help but note before their health insurance was set to renew.
Don SwansNARRATOR
Once they had control of the building, Nate and the other guys went rooting around in the Institute's computers.
