Titans on Tomorrow Ep. 3 with guest Andrew Ross Sorkin Presented by Shopify: https://shopify.com/titans Dario Amodei frantically warned the world we need to "Pace the Frontier" of AI. His biggest competitor Sam Altman immediately agreed. Both are now asking Washington to slow down the very technology making them rich. Is their cry of imminent danger to humanity real, or the most sophisticated moat-building to protect personal profits in corporate history? Ben Shapiro sits down with Andrew Ross Sorkin–DealBook founder, CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor, and author of Too Big to Fail, for a rare, direct read on the people actually running the AI race.  Episode 3 of Titans on Tomorrow covers the real motives behind Amodei's essay, what the Hugging Face/OpenAI hacking incident proves about AI danger in the real world, why regulatory capture might be the biggest untold story of the moment, the China question nobody in Washington can answer, whether the AI boom is 2008 or 1929 all over again for Wall Street investors, and where Sorkin, who has JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Citadel's Ken Griffin on speed dial, thinks the smart money is moving. - - - Today's Sponsors: Shopify - Whether you're building your first business or your next one, start your FREE Trial at https://shopify.com/titans Cardiff - If you've been in business for at least a year, and are pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same day business funding at https://Cardiff.co/ben Real growth.

Something strange is happening at the top of the AI industry.OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and xAI's Elon Musk are suddenly sounding similar warnings about the pace of advanced AI development. At the same time, former OpenAI and Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon is raising alarms about the race toward artificial superintelligence.In this episode of Slingshot Nation, Tony, Jack, and Derek break down the AI 2027 scenario, self-improving AI, the global race with China, government systems like Sentient, and the growing concern that AI may soon advance faster than anyone can control.Are these warnings simply preparation for what's coming—or have the people closest to the technology already seen something that changed the conversation?If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

The last week has been dominated by dire warnings about the threat AI could pose to humanity. A growing number of voices in government are calling for action. Even leaders in the industry say things need to slow down. But some like President Trump say there's great risk in regulating – we could fall behind and let countries like China lead the way. We'll talk about if and how to regulate an industry growing at an unimaginable pace.We'll also discuss the trust in our elections. The president is casting doubts, though his effort to restrict mail in voting was knocked down by the Supreme Court. But if his party loses and he questions the results, what's next? Plus we take questions from our live audience at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests:  Mike Dubke, veteran GOP communications strategist and advisor. He was the White House Comms Director under Donald Trump in 2017 - @MikeDubke Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee

CAPTION 1868 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, JULES VERNE.CONTENTS -JOHN-BATCHELOR-SHOW-9-17-2026 Foreign Conflicts Escalate Global Energy CrisisAnatol Lieven and Jonathan Guyer, co-authors of the report The Iran Trap, discuss interconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen threatening critical global energy infrastructure and driving up global diesel costs. Houthis disrupt Red Sea maritime routes while damaged Russian oil refineries reduce worldwide fuel exports. Public polling conducted by the Institute for Global Affairs reveals dropping support for foreign military interventions as four in five Americans connect overseas wars to rising living costs. Their report underscores public fatigue over escalating militarism and growing anxiety regarding unmonitored military artificial intelligence applications. The analysts argue that restoring diplomatic dialogue with China and reasserting congressional war powers remain essential steps toward resolving these compounding geopolitical crises. (1)Supreme Court Rejects Postal Voting RegulationRichard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court's refusal to permit the U.S. Postal Service to implement new mail-in voting regulations ahead of federal elections. Justice Kavanaugh concurred, emphasizing that election administrators lack sufficient time and software systems to process millions of mail-in ballots without causing severe delays. Epstein criticizes the rule as an insidious abuse of government monopoly power, comparing selective ballot inspection to an unconstitutional poll tax. Epstein asserts that presidential efforts to bypass Congress and override state voting authorities breach constitutional separation of powers and fiduciary obligations owed to the public. (2)Brazilian Election Scandal Shakes Supreme CourtMary Anastasia O'Grady reports Brazil's presidential campaign between incumbent Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro has tightened significantly amidst mounting financial and judicial scandals. Flavio Bolsonaro initially suffered in polling after soliciting movie funding from jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro of collapsed Banco Master. However, police investigations revealed text messages from Vorcaro seeking advice from Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, whose wife received a $25 million contract with Banco Master. Moraes previously led efforts to vacate Lula's conviction and silence political opponents. Exposure of judicial influence peddling leaves conflicted voters facing a critical October runoff. (3)Early Solar System Magnetism Shaped PlanetsCauê Borlina and David Livingston: Purdue Professor Borlina analyzed pristine Antarctic meteorites, notably DOM 08006, to investigate the early solar system's magnetic history. By studying calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs)—the oldest known solids formed 4.5 billion years ago—researchers discovered preserved primordial magnetism locked within iron-nickel minerals as they cooled below their Curie temperature. Measurements revealed ancient magnetic field strengths between 150 and 600 microteslas, exceeding Earth's current field strength. This confirms that magnetic forces worked in tandem with gravity to ionize gas and transport nebula mass. Borlina advocates for extensive future sample return missions across asteroids and Mars. (4)Grim Human Reality Of Hiroshima BombingCharles Pellegrino, author of Ghosts of Hiroshima, explores the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, detailing military logistics and human tragedy. Radar engineer Jacob Beser helped calibrate the detonation altitude, while Enola Gay pilot Paul Tibbets performed a sharp escape maneuver to avoid the explosion. On the ground, intense thermal radiation disintegrated citizens instantly or flash-fossilized human bodies at temperatures vastly higher than volcanic eruptions. Pellegrino details survivors like Kenshi Hirata and Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who astonishingly survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. The account illuminates horrific phenomena such as shadow people, shock cocoons, and fatal radiation sickness in children. (5)Latin American Political Instability And SecurityEvan Ellis assesses complex geopolitical shifts across Latin America. In Venezuela, opposition leader María Corina Machado struggles to return home as the U.S. navigates high-stakes oil deals alongside interim leaders Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez. Meanwhile, non-traditional U.S. counter-narcotics reporting reflects shifting diplomatic relations with Colombia and Venezuela. In Brazil, a close presidential election between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva highlights deep polarization, judicial corruption controversies, and competing U.S.-China strategic interests. Additionally, Argentine President Javier Milei leverages historical Falkland Islands sovereignty claims to navigate domestic economic pressures and international political dynamics. (6)

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the House Judiciary Committee exposing how casually ActBlue allegedly accepted foreign campaign contributions for Democrats, Hasan Piker saying America is worse than Al Qaeda when it comes to terrorism, Jim's visit to the Cuban Embassy in D.C., and why not all polls are what they appear.First, they dig into the story from Townhall.com about a Houe Judiciary Committee report showing how little lefties with ActBlue tried to keep foreign donations out of the donations they received. Jim and Greg go through some egregious examples and wonder whether anyone will face legal consequences for this.Next, they react to Hasan Piker telling Axios that "pound-for-pound" the U.S. is worse than Al Qaeda in terms of terrorism. Jim explains how absurd that is and how it also proves that Piker is not very bright.Then, Jim recounts his visit to the Cuban Embassy in Washington earlier this week. He explains how the Cubans are pursuing a China-like system that will allow investing and some private ownership. He also explains how destitute the Cubans are right now.Finally, they don't believe new polling that showws GOP sen. Jim Risch losing badly in Idaho. A closer lookat the polling firm and how it gets results makes them far less concerned about the race.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

What can living across the world teach us about fertility, identity, and the lives we're building?In this episode, I'm joined by Brittany Haney, who spent nearly 15 years living and working across Asia, including China, Cambodia, and Indonesia. After years of building a life abroad, Brittany found herself in Europe pursuing IVF as part of her journey toward solo parenthood.Brittany opens up about the medical setbacks she has experienced, what it's like to navigate fertility treatment abroad, and why she ultimately chose to pursue IVF in Europe rather than the United States.We talk about learning Mandarin, adapting to new cultures, becoming a global citizen, and how living across different countries has shaped her perspective on identity, fertility, and what it means to create a life on your own terms.We also talk about something that can be surprisingly difficult for women who are accustomed to making things happen: the pause. What happens when you can't control the timeline? When the next chapter isn't yours to force? And what might become possible when you give yourself permission to slow down?It's a candid conversation about fertility, global living, timing, and the perspectives we gain when life takes us somewhere we never expected to be.Send us Fan MailA powerful conversation about freedom, expansion, possibility, and the quiet awakening happening among Black women around the world.

China's engagement across Africa is increasingly shaped by both high-level geopolitics and competition in everyday markets. Somalia's renewed ties with Beijing are being driven in part by the Somaliland question, particularly its growing relationship with Taiwan. At the same time, Chinese companies continue expanding their commercial footprint across the continent. The U.S.-China technology contest is also playing out in Africa, but the scale of investment highlights a significant gap between American initiatives such as Africell and China's established ICT infrastructure footprint. Meanwhile, Chinese automakers are rapidly gaining ground in South Africa, while electric two-wheelers could reshape mobility and the gig economy across African cities. Eric Olander, Geraud Neema and Cobus van Staden examine what these developments reveal about China's changing role in Africa, from the strategic importance of Somaliland and Taiwan to the realities of competing with Chinese technology and adapting to African consumers.

Carlos almost lost the business twice. This episode is about the second time. He is joined by Ben Kotch, co-founder of AccrueMe, who has been active in e-commerce since 2018 and has looked at close to ten thousand potential investments across hundreds of seven and eight figure e-commerce businesses. Carlos opens with the story he does not tell often. Early on, a lender offered him thirty thousand dollars on the strength of his Amazon sales. He took it, sent it to China, and waited four months for inventory while the repayments started immediately. Then came the offer of sixty thousand, which felt like rescue and was actually the trap closing. He stacked it four times. What saved the company was his wife putting in personal money. Somebody told him afterward: you are really good at moving money, but not at making money. This is not an episode about businesses that deserved to fail. It is about the ones doing everything right that still go down. WHAT'S COVERED Why a ten percent fee is not a ten percent loan. Ben walks the math: borrow one hundred thousand with a ten thousand dollar fee, pay it back over six months, and you average only fifty thousand of usable capital. That is closer to a thirty or forty percent APR than to ten. E-commerce specialty lenders do not advertise APR, and there are specific reasons for that. How to compare offers apples to apples. Not the marketing page and not a screenshot from the website. The actual funding documents, run through AI, with three numbers on the table: your real APR, your average capital during the life of the loan, and your monthly payments. The red flags, in order. Anyone who opens with "we help businesses like yours" has done no research on you. Anyone industry agnostic who wants your car and your house regardless of credit. And the one most sellers read as a feature: if it is extremely easy to get, you are paying for that convenience. Why the cheap money is expensive. Lenders writing ten and thirty thousand dollar loans carry heavy defaults, so the good operators subsidize the bad ones through higher rates across the whole book. AccrueMe moved its minimum from ten thousand to one hundred thousand for exactly this reason. The reason type that predicts failure. Sellers who want capital to scale what already works tend to be fine. Sellers who want to take an eight figure baby sock business into gourmet honey do not. Carlos gets honest about being a thousand things guy, and the coaching line that reframed it: you do not split your attention evenly, you pour it all into whatever is struggling most. Why the fee is not the real problem. The cash flow is. You borrow because cash is tight, and by day two the repayment schedule has made it tighter than before you borrowed. Plus: what AccrueMe actually does now, which is not what the internet or AI will tell you. The profit share model is gone. It is traditional asset backed credit lines, one hundred thousand to five million, borrowed against a real time borrowing base, with no required payments while you stay inside the loan to value.

CAPTION 1638 PERSIAN EMPIREForeign Conflicts Escalate Global Energy CrisisAnatol Lieven and Jonathan Guyer, co-authors of the report The Iran Trap, discuss interconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen threatening critical global energy infrastructure and driving up global diesel costs. Houthis disrupt Red Sea maritime routes while damaged Russian oil refineries reduce worldwide fuel exports. Public polling conducted by the Institute for Global Affairs reveals dropping support for foreign military interventions as four in five Americans connect overseas wars to rising living costs. Their report underscores public fatigue over escalating militarism and growing anxiety regarding unmonitored military artificial intelligence applications. The analysts argue that restoring diplomatic dialogue with China and reasserting congressional war powers remain essential steps toward resolving these compounding geopolitical crises. (1)

Industrial Talk is talking to Michal Ukropec, CEO at Twinzo about "Operational Digital Twin: Real-Time operational insights from all your connected devices". Overview Digital twin and real-time logistics tracking were discussed as ways to improve manufacturing visibility, efficiency, and competitiveness. Digitalization Gap Michalsaid European manufacturers lag behind China and often operate legacy systems without connectivity or a coherent digitalization strategy.Procurement decisions that remove connectivity features can create long-term data and integration problems. Twinzo Use Case Twinzotracks logistics fleets, materials, and movement from suppliers through production, integrating data from PLCs, MES, and WMS systems.Real-time location data can reduce forklift fleet requirements, prevent micro-stoppages, and improve material flow without adding equipment or staff. Adoption Barriers What leadership commitment and strategy are needed to modernize plants using legacy systems?How can manufacturers ensure operational data is clean, accurate, and trusted before applying AI or analytics?The discussion emphasized piloting technologies at limited scale, measuring results, and balancing technology with effective leadership and workforce engagement. Outline Manufacturing Competitiveness Workforce and industrial competitiveness were framed as shared priorities.Europe's digitalization gap compared with China and the United States was discussed. Legacy Infrastructure Many plants still rely on older PLCs and IBM AS/400-era systems.Replacing legacy infrastructure can be expensive and disruptive, but inaction limits visibility and efficiency. Twinzo Platform Twinzooriginated in indoor positioning and evolved toward manufacturing and logistics tracking.The platform can monitor fleets, materials, workstations, and production movement.Potential integrations include PLC, MES, and WMS data. Operational Benefits Real-time location system data can reveal inefficient routes and unnecessary fleet capacity.An automated material-ordering workflow was compared to an “Uber for the plant.”Additional use cases include reducing energy waste and identifying equipment operating without orders. Technology and Leadership AI was characterized as a tool requiring appropriate data, evaluation, and measured adoption.Leadership, culture, workforce capability, and trust remain central to successful transformation.

The gain comes from a battery that grows from 19 kWh to 41.2 kWh and a stronger motor. The T8 manages 117 miles, easily beating the BMW X3 30e (56 miles) and Mercedes GLC PHEV (80 miles), and the XC90 PHEV rises to 100 miles, with both long-range hybrids expected in North America.BYD ATTO 1 OFFERED FOR $19,990 DRIVEAWAYBYD is offering the Atto 1 Essential for A$19,990 driveaway in Australia until 15 December unless extended, a 26% discount from A$23,990 plus on-road costs. That makes it the country's cheapest new car and undercuts the petrol Kia Picanto. It has a 65 kW motor, a 30 kWh LFP battery, 220 km WLTP range, 65 kW DC charging, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and adaptive cruise control, while the rival Geely EX2 starts from A$26,490 plus on-road costs.HYUNDAI AND KIA EXPORT 591,000 ELECTRIFIED VEHICLESHyundai and Kia exported 591,000 electrified vehicles in the first half of the year, up 22.3%, according to the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association. Hybrids drove the growth as Hyundai prioritised the US, lifting hybrid exports there by 38% in response to IRA tax-credit changes and consumer demand. Combined EV exports rose 12.7% to 162,000, but Hyundai's fell 12.4% while Kia's climbed 34.3% to almost 104,000 between January and July, helped by the EV2, EV4, EV5 and PV5 van in Europe.RENAULT UNVEILS 800 V ELECTRIC TRAFIC VANRenault unveiled the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, built on the 800 V RGEV medium-van platform with an 81 kWh battery. It claims more than 470 km of range, nearly 690 km in urban driving (not an official figure), and 280 km added in 20 minutes of charging. Renault says total cost of ownership is 10% lower than a combustion equivalent, and the van adds vehicle-to-load, new multi-link rear suspension, and a planned electric power take-off for conversions such as refrigeration and ambulances. It is part of a plan for five new LCVs by 2028, following 2.8 million Trafics sold since 1980.SCANIA SAYS BATTERY LAYOUT CAN INCREASE RANGE TO 720 KMScania's new Battery Behind Cab layout adds two MP20 packs behind the cab to supplement chassis-mounted batteries, raising electric truck range to up to 720 km for long-haul operators. Scania claims this doesn't reduce operational flexibility, and the layout works with its aerodynamic Increased Vehicle Dimension front and vehicles longer than 16.5 m, alongside the rollout of megawatt charging (MCS).CATL UNVEILS TECHTRANS 2 TRUCK BATTERYCATL unveiled Techtrans 2, a modular battery for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses, at IAA Transportation. It claims up to 1,000 km of range, 80% charging in 25 minutes via a megawatt charger, and 70% capacity retention after 12 years or 1.5 million km. At 170 Wh/kg it still forces fleets to trade range against payload, while 300–400 Wh/kg chemistries head to test vehicles in 2027 and solid-state could double density, starting in high-end applications.ENGLAND PLANS CROSS-PAVEMENT EV CHARGING RIGHTSFollowing consultation, the government has confirmed plans for permitted development rights that would let eligible homes in England with on-street parking install cross-pavement charging gullies without a planning application. Highways authority approval remains a separate requirement. With four in ten UK households lacking off-street parking and relying on pricier public charging, the change aims to cut costs and red tape, though it won't stop others taking the space outside your home.GERMANY CONSIDERS PLUG-IN HYBRID AND EREV TARIFFSGermany will seek cabinet approval on 14 October for economic-security measures that could include tariffs on plug-in hybrids and EREVs. Chinese makers have used these vehicles to sidestep EU tariffs on battery-electric cars and grow European sales. Ministers are also weighing mandatory joint ventures with European majority ownership and stronger investment requirements, a tougher, more reciprocal China stance for export-reliant Germany before it seeks uncertain EU backing.JAC PLANS 2027 HUNTER PHEV CAB-CHASSIS FOR AUSTRALIAJAC plans to launch a Hunter PHEV cab-chassis in Australia in 2027 to rival the BYD Shark 6, letting tradespeople, fleets and farmers fit trays, canopies or toolboxes. It is expected, but not confirmed, to share the powertrain of the dual cab. That dual cab is now in dealerships from A$50,000 plus on-road costs for the Pro, and offers up to 100 km electric range, more than 1,000 km combined, 3.3 kW V2L, 3.5-tonne towing, 915 kg payload, and seven-year commercial warranty, servicing and roadside cover.HULL 096 REACHES SOUTH AMERICAHull 096, the world's largest battery-electric ship, built by Incat in Tasmania, has arrived in South America after a heavy-lift vessel carried it from Hobart across the Pacific and around Cape Horn in under a month. After commissioning, it will carry more than 2,000 passengers on a 30-nautical-mile River Plate route between Buenos Aires and Colonia, Uruguay. Incat is also building three similar ferries that will be the EU's largest of their type.

Over the past week, warnings about the existential threat of AI have reached fever pitch. In an essay backed by Sam Altman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei called for international cooperation with states like China and for independent safety assessors to be given access to the frontier AI labs.All these warnings have caught the attention of leaders and dignitaries – from President Trump to King Charles – and have started a global conversation about how we should regulate the companies developing these systems. The problem is, no one can agree on how to do it.

Discussing Canada's fast-moving "investment summit" and what they see as the potential sell-off of Canadian infrastructure, airports, and public assets. They connect the story to a larger struggle involving Trump, Carney, the EU, China, and the broader battle between national sovereignty and globalist power blocs. They also discuss the AI doomerism debate, arguing that fear around AI may be part of a wider political and industrial conflict. Later, the conversation turns to City of London theories, European history, Trump's ancestry, and the possibility of funding a proposed $5,000 dividend through sovereign wealth and U.S. assets. Key topics Canada's "garage sale" and the possibility of foreign investors purchasing major infrastructure and airports. Mark Carney's role, the speed of the investment summit, and the lack of public opposition. Trump's tariffs, trade imbalances, and claims that Canada has treated American workers unfairly. Canada's possible relationship with the EU and the idea of associate membership. The growing divide between sovereignty-minded forces and globalist institutions. AI doomerism, open-source AI restrictions, effective altruism, and the political fight over technological power. Europe's economic decline, political fragmentation, and growing resistance to centralized rule.

By some measures, there is more war in the world today than at any point since World War II. Today's wars have brought a level of destruction, disruption, and global risk that would have been hard to imagine not long ago, often in places where such combat seemed a thing of the past. Policymakers once again worry about nuclear use, and military planners once again contemplate war between great powers, including the United States and China, and NATO and Russia. And all of this comes as the Trump administration dismantles key pieces of the international system and technology scrambles expectations about how wars start, unfold, and end.  No one has left a greater mark on our understanding of wars past and present than Lawrence Freedman. Freedman has written a slew of definitive books on military strategy and history, and he has offered some of the most penetrating analysis of Iran, Ukraine, and more, in Foreign Affairs and elsewhere. He is emeritus professor of war studies at King's College London.   Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke with Freedman on Monday, September 14, about the course of today's conflicts; about what is and is not changing in the nature of war; and about why policymakers, military officers, and strategists so often start wars based on bad assumptions—and how those bad assumptions explain some of the biggest calamities in global security today.  You can find sources, transcripts, and more episodes of The Foreign Affairs Interview at https://www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/foreign-affairs-interview.

//The Wire//2000Z September 17, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SAUDIS CLAIM THAT THE EAST-WEST PIPELINE WILL BE REPAIRED SOON, DESPITE THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF SEVERAL PUMPING STATIONS. UNITED STATES WEIGHS MITIGATION ACTIONS TO PREVENT DIESEL CRISIS FROM EXPANDING. PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA REPORTEDLY FELL ILL DURING BRICS SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-India: Multiple world leaders have reportedly fallen ill after attending the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Chinese President Xi Jinping skipped the gala dinner and returned to China early, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also had to depart India early due to an unspecified illness. His Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, also fell ill at the same time, as has been confirmed by the South African government.Analyst Comment: Right now, it's not clear as to if the illnesses are the result of malign action, or just the natural reaction to being in India. Multiple leaders from separate countries falling ill at around the same time is a big clue, but Chinese sources are speculating that President Xi might have had a stroke. At the moment, there is nothing confirming this as Xi's personal life tends to be extremely private, and there has been no official confirmation regarding why he departed the BRICS summit early.Saudi Arabia: Repair work up and down the East-West Pipeline continues, along with repairs at Yanbu. Saudi forces have also requested air defenses from various European nations, as the United States has declined to become involved in defending their refineries.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Concerns continue to mount regarding the status of Senator Mitch McConnell. Yesterday, he was transported to the Capitol to vote on an agricultural spending bill, and footage of him continues to indicate that he is very visibly not well or coherent. Sen. McConnell has generally been conscious, but unresponsive to verbal comments made by journalists attempting to ask him questions.USA: Around the nation, reports of gasoline and diesel shortages are beginning to manifest, as several gas stations have announced that they are out of gas. Gas stations in North Texas, Florida, and California have all reported being out of gas as of last night.Analyst Comment: Right now it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing these specific shortages. To be sure, a handful of gas stations running out of gas is not indicative of a dire and imminent nationwide shortage; based on the EIA's Weekly Status Report, last week gasoline stocks in the US were only down 4.6% from what they were last year. However the empty pumps don't lie, and right now the most likely explanation for localized gasoline shortages is a combination of logistical issues delaying shipments to individual gas stations...and panic buying which will drain a gas station much faster than normal. Due to oil execs saying gas prices are going to increase over the next few days, people are probably trying to get ahead of the curve. Since most gas stations only have a day's worth of gas (and rely on nearly daily deliveries to refill their underground tanks), it doesn't take much of an increase in demand to generate a localized shortage.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Saudi oil contracts continued to be canceled as the scale of Houthi attacks continues to expand. All oil onloading at Yanbu has been halted for at least six days, and the only other source for Saudi exports is now through smaller ports, or through Ras Tanura via the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the devastation, some Saudi officials claim that the East-West Pipeline will return to at least 50% of it's capacity within a few days, though this appears to be wishful thinking at best. At the moment, formalized force majeure declarations have not taken place, but Aramco has "deferred" deliveries of crude for the rest of the month of September, and various contracts continue to be canceled.As it stands, Saudi Arabia is seriously in trouble and it's extremely unlikely that Saudi Arabia will be exporting any sizable amount of oil for a while. European oil traders seem rather adamant that Saudi Arabia has already canceled most of their contracts with various customers for oil deliveries, however Saudi officials assure the world that everything is fine and they will be back to full capacity soon. Saudi sources have claimed that the SUMED pipeline (with it's capacity of 2.5 million barrels per day) can be used as a partial-backup to the East-West Pipeline being down. However there is one problem with this plan...geography. The SUMED pipeline is not in Saudi Arabia, it's in Egypt. And the only way that the Saudis can use this pipeline, is to load oil at Yanbu, sail it on ships across the Red Sea, and deposit the crude in Egypt to be sent down the pipeline. The single point of failure for this "backup" pipeline is the same point of failure for the East-West Pipeline...Yanbu. Which is currently offline due to Houthi strikes. Whatever the truth is regarding exactly how much oil is able to exit the Middle East, it will be discovered rather quickly as crude cannot be conjured up out of thin air, and at some point the sheer lack of volume will have to be acknowledged.Within the homeland, the United States has begun more serious mitigation efforts due to the Saudis being offline for presumably a long time. The Department of Transportation has issued a 90-day waiver for truckers carrying fuel, easing Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations to allow truckers to drive more hours in a 24 hour period. The White House is also still considering an export ban on diesel, in order to ease rising costs in the United States. If this were to be enacted, domestic prices would probably dip, but the shock to the system could result in unintended consequences in the long term.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Get KAKISTOCRACY on Amazon: https://bit.ly/4hxg9Lh Synopsis Richard Hanania is back. His new book, Kakistocracy, argues that populism ends in rule by the worst people, and he and Noam spend an hour testing that against the news: why populism can win without being popular, whether the Iran war was worth the shot even if it fails, whether China would rather help us than fight us, and how the right built a media culture where Tucker Carlson can say Israel killed Charlie Kirk and the vice president shrugs. Then the hardest subject on the show: Nathan Cofnas and "race realism." Hanania explains why he thinks the taboo is universal and why Cofnas is wrong that breaking it defeats wokeness, and Noam tells two stories about kids the experts wrote off.

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Ambassador Daniel Kritenbrink, former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, and Senior Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council, to discuss U.S.-China diplomacy and the upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Drawing on decades of experience engaging with senior Chinese officials, including Xi Jinping, Kritenbrink reflects on Xi's leadership style and China's increasingly confident approach to the United States and the international system. He discusses the role of leader-level diplomacy in managing U.S.-China competition, lessons he learned from preparing for Xi's 2015 state visit to Washington, and what effective communication between Washington and Beijing looks like behind closed doors. They also examine what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the prospects for maintaining what Kritenbrink describes as a “fragile truce” between the two countries, and the economic, technological, and security issues that will continue to test U.S.-China relations.

What would American foreign policy look like if the progressive left were in charge?A'ndre is joined by Matt Duss, Executive Vice President at the Center for International Policy and former foreign policy adviser to Senator Bernie Sanders, to examine the left's growing challenge to the Democratic Party's foreign policy establishment.Matt traces Democratic foreign policy from the post-9/11 era through the Obama and Biden administrations, discusses Bernie Sanders' alternative vision of American power, and explains why Gaza has become such a major dividing line within the Democratic coalition.A'ndre and Matt also debate what a progressive foreign policy would mean in practice: when the United States should use military force, support for Ukraine, competition with China, the future of Taiwan, and whether America can move away from primacy while protecting its security and alliances.Matt also discusses his forthcoming book, A World for All: New Visions of U.S. Foreign Policy.

This week, Jan made a call most podcasters won't make. She sat down in the studio with a leader she's wanted on the show for a long time, and the conversation was too strong to rush out in two days. Every episode goes out as both audio and video on YouTube, which takes real production time. So she chose quality over quantity, and the full episode drops next week.That leader is Tom Lewis, President of Horse Powertrain USA. Tom doesn't accept "that's how we've always done it" from his team, his customers, or this industry. He and Jan take on the rules automotive has followed for decades: slow approvals, OEMs and suppliers keeping each other at arm's length, and the habits we protect because they feel safe even when they cost us. Tom isn't waiting for permission. He's already built a different way of working.In the meantime, this is a good week to catch up. Start with Jan's solo episode, "We've Had the Tools for 30 Years. Why Didn't We Use Them?" It's built on binders and letters she's kept in her basement since the early '90s, and it's her take on China's speed as an operating model. Then go back to her conversations with Bryce Currie, Chief Manufacturing Officer at Ford, and Jim Voss, CEO of Tenneco. They're two leaders who practice servant leadership every day and aren't afraid to talk about it.Jan also wants to hear about the leadership challenge sitting on your desk right now. Email her at jan@gravitasdetroit.com, because your challenges shape where this show goes next.

Welcome to The Unconventional Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Stories and Ideas. In this episode, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman dive into the world of global workforce strategies with nearshoring expert Brian Samson, founder of Plug Technologies.For decades, American companies looking to outsource have immediately focused on Asia for manufacturing, call centers, and IT development. However, massive time zone disparities, long feedback cycles, and distinct cultural differences frequently slow business operations down. Brian explains how nearshoring to Latin American countries offers a massive advantage by providing highly skilled, gritty, and English-proficient talent that works the exact same hours as the United States.If you are an entrepreneur looking for staff augmentation, navigating remote workforce management, or wanting to understand how international talent markets are shifting, this episode delivers a blueprint on how to expand your business strategically.Key Concepts Discussed in This EpisodeOffshoring vs. Nearshoring: While traditional offshoring shifts labor across oceans to massive manufacturing hubs like China or IT centers like India, nearshoring targets developing countries directly shared in or close to your own time zone. The Latin American Talent Advantage: Sourcing talent from Latin America aligns directly with US business cultures. Professionals exhibit strong critical thinking skills, possess high fluency in US-style English, and feature exceptional "grit" forged from navigating localized economic volatility. Regional Specializations: Sourcing tech talent has evolved far beyond basic bug-fixing. Mexico has blossomed into a production and engineering manufacturing giant, Argentina serves as a hub for full-stack product development, and regions in Brazil are producing world-class AI and data engineers. Meanwhile, Central American countries like Nicaragua and El Salvador are rising as highly competitive options for virtual assistants and back-office call centers. The Staffing Model vs. Solutions Model: Brian details why small businesses thrive using a staff augmentation approach, which allows founders direct communication and total flexibility over product roadmaps, compared to rigid fixed-price project outsourcing agencies. Mitigating International Legal Risks: Sourcing global talent independently introduces complex foreign employment laws, contract compliance issues, and currency exchange friction. Working with an established employer of record (EOR) lets US entities confidently manage remote teams via simple monthly invoicing. Takeaways for Business LeadersBela and Mike wrap up the episode discussing the ongoing debate of going global vs. staying local. While cultivating community talent is incredibly valuable, leveraging international trade networks allows growing startups to dynamically build resilient supply chains. Furthermore, incorporating team members located in foreign countries doesn't just reduce operational budgets—it opens crucial regional doors for future international market entry.As a special addition to the interview, Brian highlights his personal passion as a licensed foster parent, sharing heartfelt advice on how leaders can look into local social services to support children within foster care networks.Connect With the Hosts & GuestBela and Mike's Email: bela.and.mike@gmail.comBrian Samson's Website: plug.co Brian's Podcast: The Nearshore Cafe PodcastIf you found this conversation valuable, please remember to hit that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE to our channel on YouTube or your favorite podcasting app. Leaving a review helps other innovative leaders discover the show!

Hide your China, the boys are at it again with a drink and a discussion of 2011's “Warrior”. Gavin O'Connor's film found Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton at the perfect time, and he paired them with legend Nick Nolte for one of his best performances. Jeff also saw “Practical Magic 2” in the theaters on 9/11 and gives a mini-review. Two very different films! They both go well with drinks.

China's manufacturing scale has no historical precedent. $3.8 trillion in exports in 2025. A $1.2 trillion trade surplus — the largest any country has ever recorded. China is the top import partner for roughly 40% of the world's countries.The West's response has been tariffs. And China now trades 50% more with the Global South than with the US and Europe combined. But trade grew faster than the plumbing underneath it. The banks, correspondent networks, and currency markets that move money between these regions weren't built for this volume, and in many cases, barely exist at all.Which leaves Chinese exporters with a problem: how do you get paid by countries that aren't well connected to the global financial system?To answer that question, we visit the electronics markets of Shenzhen, the historical trade ports of Guangzhou, and the financial center of Hong Kong.In this episode, we're joined by Vincent Yang, Co-founder of Obita.
