Numerous Silicon Valley startups now offer parents the ability to test and screen embryos, identifying those at increased risk for various health problems. But while the marketing language seems helpful, the dark reality is that these companies promise to destroy human lives before they have time to grow. In this episode, we use an article from the American Enterprise Institute as a catalyst to begin a conversation about consumer eugenics. We explore how companies like Orchid Health weaponize parents' fears and anxieties, and why Christians need to be ethically proactive and wise in evaluating reproductive technology.(0:00) Introductions: Consumer Eugenics is Becoming a Big Thing(1:39) Why Consumer Eugenics Is Not a Good Thing(15:12) Understanding the Ethics & Language of Consumer Eugenics(18;53) The Need for a Robust Anthropology(24:58) Keeping Our Eyes Wide OpenArticle: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/silicon-valleys-consumer-eugenics/

In a little more than 100 days, Donald Trump has set about dismantling much of the international order that has prevailed since World War II. That's true of traditional U.S. approaches to trade, to conflict, alliances, international organizations, and more. But as much as we focus on Trump, Michael Beckley argues that much of this change in U.S. foreign policy has deeper roots, going to the very nature of American power. The United States is increasingly a “rogue superpower,” Beckley has written, “neither internationalist nor isolationist but aggressive, powerful, and increasingly out for itself.” How this America interacts, not just with adversaries like China but also with allies and others, may be the most important question in geopolitics today. Beckley is an associate professor of political science at Tufts University, a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and Asia director at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and has been one of the sharpest analysts of American grand strategy in an era of deepening great-power competition.  Beckley joined Dan Kurtz-Phelan on May 13 to discuss both the resilience of American power and the risks to it—and what the global transformation now underway will mean for U.S. interests going forward.

On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order implementing a new prescription drug policy that he suggested could cut drug prices by 59 percent. At the signing, he emphasized the U.S. "will no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma." The government discovered this in 2022 per an HHS report, where researchers found that U.S. pharmaceutical companies typically charge two to three times more for prescription drugs than other developed nations. Food & Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary joins the Rundown to explain how the President's "most favored nation" drug pricing plan works and shares their "carrot and stick" approach to getting Big Pharma to cooperate on fair prices. Georgia lawmakers are already strategizing ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. With Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff already announcing his bid for a second term in the Senate earlier this year, several Republicans have stepped up to challenge the incumbent senator.

But the interest goes beyond the papal election: Reports point to a rise in young converts, from JD Vance to Shia LaBeouf to a wave of Zoomers.

Almost a month since ‘liberation day', the potential impacts of President Donald Trump's tariff regime are starting to sink in. US hard data isn't yet showing much negative impact from changes to US trade policy – but economists are gloomy on US growth prospects. The IMF last week warned of an increased risk of US recession, and lopped nearly a full percentage point off its forecast for US growth this year. Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, joins FT economics editor Sam Fleming to discuss how Trump's tariff agenda may play out, which forces could force the president to change tack, and what that might look like.Read a transcript of this episode on FT.com Hosted on Acast.

Tim, a Catholic father of six, shares his unique perspective on raising a family in the nation's capital, challenging the stereotype of D.C. as a "moral wasteland." He discusses his latest book, Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be, and dives into topics like the declining U.S. birth rate, the importance of culture in politics, and practical ways to support families—from walkable neighborhoods to tax policies. Tim also reflects on the role of fatherhood, the need for cultural shifts, and why he believes having more kids (four or more!) can actually make life easier.Key Topics:Life in D.C.: Tim debunks myths about Washington, D.C., highlighting its strong Catholic community, great schools, and notable figures like Justice Clarence Thomas attending Mass.Writing & Work: As a political commentator, Tim has authored books on lobbying and corporate welfare, but his recent focus is on family and community—arguing that babies and strong families are vital to society.Culture Matters: At AEI, Tim works in the new Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies department, emphasizing how marriage, kids, and human values shape politics and the economy—despite resistance from D.C.'s policy-focused elite.Low Birth Rates: Tim addresses America's falling fertility rate (1.62 babies per woman) and the growing political awareness of this issue, citing figures like JD Vance pushing for a pro-family agenda.Policy Ideas: From local walkability for kids to federal child tax credits, Tim explores how government can support families without overreach, drawing examples from Hungary and France.Fatherhood: He advocates for culturally elevating fatherhood as distinct from motherhood, encouraging dads to prioritize family over work and set an example in their communities.Favorite Article: Tim shares the success of his Washington Post piece, “The Ideal Number of Children in a Family: Four at a Minimum,” which sparked debate and highlighted the benefits of larger families.Quotable Moments:“Babies are a good thing. Life is good.”“If you want fecundity in the sheets, you need walkability in the streets.”“Childhood anxiety is mostly about kids growing up without unsupervised play. Parental stress is this false belief that you control them.”Where to Find Tim:Book: Family Unfriendly – Available on Amazon or your local bookstore (if you convince them to stock it!).X: @TPCarneyClosing Thoughts:Tim's blend of humor, policy insight, and pro-family passion makes this a must-listen for anyone interested in culture, parenting, or the future of American society.
