John is joined by Avichal Garg, Managing Partner of Electric Capital and Chairman of the Crypto Council for Innovation, and Emily Kapur, Co-Chair of Quinn Emanuel's Blockchain & Digital Asset Litigation Practice and partner in the firm's Silicon Valley office.  They discuss the complex legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency, digital assets, and the intersection with emerging technologies like AI. The decentralization and autonomy of crypto systems challenges traditional legal concepts.  Crypto technology—ranging from permissionless innovation to autonomous systems—raises foundational legal questions about jurisdiction, liability, and personhood, especially when code may function as both speech and money.  While early legal battles focused on whether tokens are securities, today's disputes often focus on jurisdictional issues and cross-border liability for autonomous systems with governance distributed around the world. U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins, while posing regulatory and competitive challenges, may also be an unparalleled tool for promoting U.S. soft power and economic influence.  They can bypass traditional banking systems and reach global users, reinforcing the dollar's dominance.  The recently enacted GENIUS Act provides a framework for regulating stablecoins in the U.S. without imposing restrictive reserve requirements, in contrast to European approaches. The rapid evolution of crypto trading venues—centralized exchanges like Coinbase, decentralized protocols like Uniswap, and traditional financial instruments such as ETFs and digital asset treasuries—highlight the legal uncertainty about which regulatory entities have jurisdiction.  The increasing use of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) poses additional challenges under theories that all participants in a DAO are potentially liable as partners in a joint venture. More legal innovation is needed, perhaps even entirely new legal entities or frameworks, to accommodate a future in which autonomous code can hold assets, transact, and potentially commit fraud.  Courts may begin to shape precedent in the absence of legislation, but a proactive regulatory approach or legal sandbox might be the key to responsibly managing these potentially disruptive forces. Ultimately, the question is whether the law will domesticate crypto or will crypto force legal innovation?Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Discover how C.H. Robinson's aggressive adoption of AI has significantly boosted its stock price, even in a weak freight market, leading to a 52-week high. Learn about their new "Always-on Logistics Planner," an agentic AI-driven "digital teammate" within its Managed Solutions 4PL arm, which autonomously handles tasks 24/7 and has achieved 100% customer adoption among its clients. We confront the growing peril of escalating cargo theft, a critical concern in the industry, with North American cargo thefts surging 27% year-over-year in 2024, resulting in $455 million in stolen goods across 3,625 incidents. Hear how Ceva Logistics alone suffered over $18.3 million in losses from eight incidents, often due to security policy breakdowns like using unvetted carriers or inactive GPS trackers, making warehouses particularly vulnerable. Analyze major shifts in international trade, including a new EU-US trade truce framework designed to stabilize container flows for goods like pharmaceuticals and agricultural products on transatlantic lanes. However, this framework notably excludes automobiles, with continued high tariffs leading to a 16.8% decline in European car exports to the U.S. in the first half of this year, potentially shifting consumer demand towards domestic or Asian suppliers. Examine developments in workforce and infrastructure, as FedEx Supply Chain is laying off 611 employees in Memphis after Cummins Inc. moved a significant portion of its distribution to a new 3PL in Indianapolis for efficiency. In stark contrast, South Korea's Hanwha Group announced a $5 billion investment to expand its Philadelphia shipyard, aiming to increase shipbuilding capacity to 20 vessels annually and double the local workforce to 3,000 by 2025 as part of a larger $150 billion commitment to revitalizing the U.S. maritime sector. Finally, we unpack the serious rail regulatory turbulence caused by President Trump's firing of STB member Robert E. Primus, creating a 2-2 partisan split and leaving the board short two members. This controversial move comes just months before a major merger application (Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern) is expected and has already stalled other important rail proceedings, raising concerns that it could weaken the board and harm the freight rail network, consumers, and the economy.

This week on The Art of SBA Lending, we're joined by Lukas Haffer, co-founder of Casca, to discuss how AI is set to revolutionize small business lending. With a unique background that includes building software for major European banks and earning Standform MBA, Lukas brings a fresh, outside-the-box perspective to our industry. He shares how his company is taking on the "disaster" of small business financing by arming SBA lenders with cutting-edge technology to fight back against predatory online lenders.   We dive deep into how new technology can solve the industry's biggest pain points, from a closing process that takes months, to underwriters bogged down with manual data entry. Lukas reveals how his team's mission-driven approach and dedication to understanding the day-to-day work of lenders led them to build a solution that automates the tedious tasks and lets professionals focus on what they do best: building relationships and solving complex financial puzzles.

We (the Active Travel Adventures Community) are looking at a group of us booking the entire ship (24 guests maximum) for a week in July of 2027 to explore the northern Friesland region of the Netherlands.  I am still working out the details, but is should be under €2000 per person, double occupancy.  Note that we would sail in '27 NOT '26. When I interviewed my affiliate Boat Bike Tours top guide Tamara (Tammy) about her personal favorite European tour, she said hands down it was Friesland, in northern Holland: beautiful scenery, interesting culture and history and best of all, most people don't even know about it, so it's not over-touristed like so many cool destinations. I am now seeing what interest there is in reserving this boutique, comfy ship.   Even though the tour is offered self-guided, and you can certainly do this using the app and map, we want to bring Tammy and another guide along, because guides add so much color to our exploration.  They know the history and have great background stories, and they know the best places to see and stop, etc.   Like my recent ATA Portuguese Way Camino group, where we went "Solo/Together", this would be the same:  each day you can decide whether to ride with the group or self-guide, or even just sail with the ship and relax on board, or wander around town. We'd do this seven day boat and bike tour from a Friday to Friday.  The port is easy to reach by a one hour train from Amsterdam.   GET MORE INFORMATION HERE Other possible ATA Group Tours: Kumano Kodo - Japan : solo/together unguided Iceland : guided Austrian Alps : guided El Camino de la Plata (Spanish route starts in Seville): two stages  : solo/together unguided Amalfi Coast : guided Contact Kit to express interest   Get FREE Travel Planners, Checklists and Packing Lists for ATA adventures (and each month you will get an email from Kit with links to all future Travel Planners (no spam promise!).  Get the monthly newsletter here.

Were the Martian canals real? For decades, some of the world's most respected astronomers and newspapers answered with a resounding YES. But how did a simple misunderstanding spiral into a global belief in an advanced, dying civilization on the Red Planet? This episode unwraps the incredible story of the turn-of-the-century Martian craze, a period when fact and fiction blurred, and humanity collectively looked to the stars, convinced someone was looking back. We explore how this mania began, who its biggest champions were, and how the idea of intelligent Martians shaped science and culture forever.This deep dive into the history of our obsession with Mars is guided by acclaimed author David Baron, whose book "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze That Captured Turn-of-the-Century America" chronicles this fascinating era. We begin with the story's surprising European origins, specifically with Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli and his 1877 observations of "canali" on the Martian surface. A critical mistranslation of Giovanni Schiaparelli canali (Italian for "channels") into "canals" in English ignited the public imagination with the possibility of artificial structures. This idea was popularized by French astronomer and author Camille Flammarion, but it was an American who would become the theory's most fervent and influential advocate: Percival Lowell.Born into a wealthy Boston family, Percival Lowell dedicated his fortune and his life to proving the existence of an intelligent Martian race. We detail the astonishingly complex Percival Lowell Mars theory, which proposed that Mars was an old, drying planet and its inhabitants had built a planet-wide irrigation system—the Martian canals—to channel water from the polar ice caps to their desert cities. To prove it, Lowell founded the iconic Lowell Observatory in Arizona and even funded a massive expedition to Chile to capture the first-ever photographs of the canals, which he presented as undeniable proof. This led to a major rift in the scientific community, dividing astronomers into "canalists" and "anti-canalists."The belief in Martians wasn't just confined to scientific circles; it exploded into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. We discuss the immense impact of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, a "scientific romance" that terrified and thrilled readers. Baron reveals how American newspapers, in a bout of Yellow Press sensationalism, pirated and serialized the story, localizing the invasion to New York and Boston and presenting it almost as a news report—a tactic Orson Welles would later famously use for his 1938 radio broadcast. The fervor grew so intense that in 1924, the U.S. military was convinced to enforce national radio silence to listen for signals from the Red Planet. So, what was the final nail in the coffin for the Martian canals? Baron explains how astronomer Eugène Michel Antoniadi's crystal-clear observations in 1909 and, ultimately, NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft flyby in the 1960s, finally disproved the theory, revealing a cratered, lifeless landscape where canals were once drawn. This entire episode serves as a powerful look into the turn-of-the-century Martian craze and how it left an indelible mark on science fiction, inspiring figures like Robert H. Goddard and Carl Sagan and shaping our dreams of outer space to this day.About Our Guest:David Baron is an author and science journalist who specializes in telling gripping historical tales about the history of astronomy. He is the author of the new book, "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze That Captured Turn-of-the-Century America," as well as the award-winning "American Eclipse," which is being adapted into a Broadway musical.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction: The Martian Saga(03:01) The 1906 New York Times Headline: "There is Life on Mars"(04:47) European Origins: Schiaparelli, Flammarion, and the "Canali" Mistranslation(09:09) Percival Lowell: The American Champion of the Martian Cause(14:52) The Great Debate: Canalists vs. Anti-Canalists(19:26) The Hunt for Proof: Lowell's Astrophotography and The Chilean Expedition(23:26) Percival Lowell's Grand Theory of Martian Civilization(26:54) H.G.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the question media pundits keep asking: what is happening to the democrat party? What happened is that the people have learned a great deal about the Democrat Party and its ideologies over the years and they don't like it. Ideas do have consequences. Educating and reading remain crucial. Unfortunately, too many people with microphones and TV cameras have forgotten about this. Scholarship, history, philosophy still matter. They have always mattered. It's called getting back to basics. Getting back to our founding principles, beliefs, and values, and exposing those who seek to pervert, undermine, and destroy them. The Democrat Party is struggling and failing because it stands for virtually everything most Americans reject. Also, the American people elected President Trump in a massive landslide, saving the country from four more years of destructive policies like open borders, anti-military degradation, and campus marches chanting "from the river to the sea." We should not be complacent in the midterms. Also, the U.S. has offered to provide intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), command and control, and air defense assets to support a European-led security plan for postwar Ukraine, including participation in an air shield and no-fly zone enforcement. This includes US aircraft, logistics, and radar to enable European troop deployments, while monitoring ceasefires via superior satellite capabilities. This is necessary. Later, Democrats support violent criminals, while Trump is quickly controlling crime in Washington, D.C., by enforcing the law with police backed by the National Guard. Finally, by 2040 Islam could surpass Judaism as the nation's second-largest religion. America's Christian foundations—rooted in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and devotion to God—are eroding due to silence and fear. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this mind-bending episode of Strange Planet, we unravel the Shakespeare authorship mystery with Dr. Earl Showerman. Drawing from his book Shakespeare's Greater Greek, Showerman exposes how the plays echo untranslated Greek epics and tragedies—like Aeschylus' Oresteia in Hamlet—knowledge impossible for the official Bard. Could Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, be the true genius? We dive into clues from medicine, law, and court life that shatter the 400-year myth, challenging everything you learned in English class. Prepare to question the canon! GUEST: Dr. Earl Showerman is a Harvard-educated physician and retired emergency medicine specialist who now applies his diagnostic expertise to literary enigmas. Author of Shakespeare's Greater Greek, he argues that the Bard's works reveal deep knowledge of ancient Greek sources unavailable in English during Shakespeare's time, pointing to Edward de Vere as the likely true author. A leading voice in the Shakespeare authorship debate, Showerman has presented his research at conferences and in scholarly journals, bridging medicine, classics, and Elizabethan history.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they note Americans overwhelmingly see a crime problem in the U.S. and a majority likes how Trump is dealing with it. They also wince as Trump welcomes 600,000 Chinese college students into the U.S., and roll their eyes at the left's absurd "land acknowledgements."First, they're glad to see that 81 percent of Americans have the common sense to see that crime is a major problem. That includes 68 percent of Democrats. In addition, 53 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is dealing with crime. This makes the Democrats' assertions that there really isn't a crime problem in our major cities look utterly ridiculous.Next, they cringe as President Trump says he is perfectly fine allowing 600,000 Chinese students study at American colleges and universities this year. Jim and Greg fume about the American students who suffer a result, and they point out what the Chinese government expects from their students when returning from the U.S.Finally, they shake their heads as the DNC national meeting kicked off with a "land acknowledgement," where someone explains which tribal nation had the land before European settlers allegedly took it from them. It's shameless virtue signaling, but is it backfiring for Democrats and could this practice ever have much more serious implications?Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visithttps://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Feel the difference of an extraordinary night's sleep with Boll & Branch—get 15% off plus free shipping on your first set of sheets at https://www.BollandBranch.com/THREEMARTINI (exclusions apply).

Keegan Bradley just revealed his Ryder Cup picks—and fans can't believe he left himself off the team...but was it the right choice? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down what might be the most talked-about Ryder Cup captain's picks in years. Keegan Bradley has officially revealed his U.S. team for Bethpage Black—and in a shocking twist, he left himself off the roster. We dive into the big question: did Keegan fold under the pressure of being both captain and player, or was this an unselfish move to give Team USA the best chance to win? You'll hear our thoughts on legends like Tom Watson saying a playing captain “just can't be done,” Rory's take from the European side, and Keegan's own words from the press conference. We also go pick-by-pick through the roster, debating who was snubbed, who might have been a safer choice, and whether names like Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns were really the best options. Could Keegan himself have been the hotter hand heading into the event? And how will rookies like Ben Griffin handle the Ryder Cup spotlight? With the U.S. desperate to avoid another home loss, every decision matters. Join us as we analyze the roster, weigh the risks, and ask if Bradley's bold call will pay off—or haunt Team USA.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

The enterprise network is under pressure like never before. Hybrid environments, cloud migrations, edge deployments, and the sudden surge in AI workloads have made it increasingly difficult to keep application connectivity secure and reliable. The old model of device-by-device, rule-based network management can't keep up with today's hyperconnected, API-driven world. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Kyle Wickert, Field Chief Technology Officer at AlgoSec, to discuss the future of network management in the age of platformization. With more than a decade at AlgoSec and years of hands-on experience working with some of the world's largest enterprises, Kyle brings an unfiltered view of the challenges and opportunities that IT leaders are facing right now. We talk about why enterprises are rapidly shifting to platform-based models to simplify network security, but also why that strategy can start to break down when dealing with multi-vendor environments. Kyle explains the fragmentation across cloud, on-prem, and edge infrastructure that keeps CIOs awake at night, and why spreadsheets and manual change processes are still far too common in 2025. He also shares why visibility, intent-based policies, and policy automation are becoming non-negotiable in reducing risk and friction. Kyle doesn't just talk theory. He shares a real-world case study of a European financial institution that automated policy provisioning across firewalls and cloud infrastructure, integrated it with CI/CD pipelines, and reduced its change rejection rate from 25% to 4%. It's a compelling example of how the right approach to network management can deliver measurable improvements in agility, security, and business satisfaction.  

This content argues that a new political and cultural battle is underway, with Donald Trump's law and order policies in Washington, D.C. at its center. The speaker praises Trump's actions, including a push to bring back the death penalty for murder in the capital, as part of a necessary cleanup of crime. The speaker then draws an international parallel, using the story of an American tourist allegedly attacked in Germany by an asylum seeker to illustrate a global trend. He asserts that European governments and sanctuary cities in the U.S. have allowed a culture of lawlessness to flourish, where high-value illegal immigrant voters are not held accountable. The speaker concludes by framing this as a deliberate, systematic program of terror against those who oppose the political left, with Trump being the only person standing in its way. The speaker also claims that a victim of the attack in Germany did not reach out to the man who saved her because of fears she would be prosecuted under German law for criticizing her attacker.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin regroup here at the top of the week and help work out our next move. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged on my birthday, thus making that date easier for everyone to remember. Pseudo-president Trump is crypto-president from now on. In happy news for crackers, the cracker barrel returns to Cracker Barrel. Could a one-week feint towards a clipart logo be a publicity stunt to replace their dying customer base with MAGA hardcore? If so, expect Red Lobster's rebrand as “Red State”. Cops: DC is really cleaning up the town as the interdepartmental queue forms behind each potential jaywalking bust. Anyhow, it's all the arresting that counts, not the crime. Maybe a nice train station to play with will keep them busy. OK, Doomer. ICEISIS may feel like it's around every corner (because that's the intent) but that doesn't mean that you have to give up. Democrats lead the U.S. House generic by 8 points, and in real-life very-red Iowa, Catelin Drey won by 11, in a district Trump carried by 11. It happened there, and it should be happening everywhere. The US might be involved with attempting to destabilize a sovereign democracy! Shocking, right? Greenland might be asking for it, but that doesn't mean it's giving Donald consent to grab it by the windfarms. European postal services are holding your mail. You'll need to stop by and pick it up. Delulu DOGE dropped skibidi Social Security numbers… AnD fanum tax bro! Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a decision to make. Either Trump's penis is tiny, and Kilmar goes to Uganda, or it is not tiny, and he goes to Costa Rica. All of the federal judges in Maryland avoid rendering a verdict on Trump's tiny penis… for now.

Send us a textThe battle between season-long excellence and single-tournament dominance takes center stage as we dissect Tommy Fleetwood's Tour Championship victory and what it means for the FedEx Cup format. Should the player who excels all season (like Scottie Scheffler with five wins, including two majors) be properly recognized alongside the tournament champion? The current system, which essentially resets everything for one final event, continues to draw criticism from players and fans alike.The Ryder Cup team selections loom large with captain Keegan Bradley set to announce his picks tomorrow. We analyze the automatic qualifiers and potential captain's selections, making the case for who should represent Team USA against what appears to be a formidable European lineup. Some surprising names, like Colin Morikawa, might not deserve spots based on recent form, while others, like Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay, could strengthen the American side despite some reservations.Meanwhile, LIV Golf continues to struggle with its television product and format. Despite drawing crowds in person, the confusing presentation with shotgun starts, unclear team elements, and disjointed coverage makes following the action difficult for viewers. As professional golf remains divided, we question whether the proposed merger will ever materialize, especially as the product quality gap between tours remains significant.On a more adventurous note, we preview our upcoming golf journey through Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa – highlighting how golf creates opportunities to explore parts of America you'd otherwise never visit. Courses like Landmannd, Tatanka, and Prairie Club represent hidden gems that transform ordinary locations into extraordinary experiences, showcasing the true spirit of golf discovery beyond the professional tours.Join us for this wide-ranging conversation about golf's present challenges and future possibilities, both on tour and in the heartland of America.

They stand silently in the fields, stitched together with rags, straw, and fear. Scarecrows are more than just farm tools to frighten away crows—they've haunted our imagination for centuries. In this episode, we trace their roots from ancient civilizations to their rise as eerie symbols in folklore, superstition, and Halloween tradition. From Japanese rice fields to European harvest festivals, and from farming necessity to horror movie icon, scarecrows have always carried a strange mix of protection and dread. Join us as we uncover the real history behind these straw-stuffed guardians and explore how they became one of the most haunting figures of Halloween.

S&P futures are pointing to a flat open today. Markets are awaiting Nvidia's earnings due after the close, with previews broadly expecting a Q2 beat as momentum builds around the Blackwell GPU. Asian markets traded mixed on Wednesday, with China markets underperforming, but European markets are slightly firmer in early trades. President Trump's decision to dismiss Fed Governor Cook continues to dominate press coverage, though market reaction has been relatively contained. As anticipated, Cook is preparing a court challenge, which could set off a drawn-out legal process. Companies Mentioned: T-Mobile, Canada Goose, GE Aerospace, OpenAI, Microsoft

The vast majority of the world's countries are experiencing a demographic revolution: dramatic, sustained, and likely irreversible population aging. States' median ages are steadily increasing as the number of people ages 65 and older skyrockets. Analysts and policymakers frequently decry population aging's domestic costs, especially likely slowing economic growth and massive new public expenditures for elderly welfare. But aging has a major yet largely unrecognized international benefit: it significantly reduces the likelihood of international war. Although wars continue to rage in parts of the world, almost none involve aged countries. This book provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking argument why population aging will be a powerful force for peace. Aging will significantly reduce states' military capabilities available for war while also boosting leaders' and citizens' preferences for peaceful foreign policies. At the same time, the effects of aging will help prevent the emergence of a power transition between the United States and China, which would be a development that is particularly likely to devolve into armed hostilities. If an aged country does initiate war, the effects of aging will create major barriers to military success. The more aging reduces the probability of victory, the greater the disincentives to aggressing. Detailed case studies show how aging has affected the capabilities and preferences in Japan, China, the United States, and Russia. Guest: Mark L.

"These tortoises are absolutely the ecosystem engineers. They are incredible grazers, they are nutrient cyclers, they are seed dispersers, also just mechanically they are the largest creatures on these islands." In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks with Aldabra tortoise champion Celina Chien. The islands of the Indian Ocean once teemed with giant tortoises but European sailors harvested them nearly to extinction. Now the Indian Ocean Tortoise Alliance is carefully bringing them back, translocating them from island to island, and championing their cause. Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here.

In this episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi reconnects with longtime friend and high school teammate James Woodard—pro hooper, Tulsa standout, and now a 10-year vet in the overseas game. James opens up about navigating the highs and lows of pro basketball abroad, from small-town gyms to high-level European leagues, and how mental toughness, faith, and family have anchored him through it all.They get into the grind of adjusting to new teams every year, what really builds confidence, and how staying consistent off the court—through nutrition, training, and prayer—can change everything. James also shares how personal loss reshaped his perspective on life and sport, and what fatherhood has taught him about leadership, patience, and purpose.

If an aged country does initiate war, the effects of aging will create major barriers to military success. The more aging reduces the probability of victory, the greater the disincentives to aggressing. Detailed case studies show how aging has affected the capabilities and preferences in Japan, China, the United States, and Russia. Guest: Mark L.

Insulin resistance triggers everything from Alzheimer's to erectile dysfunction. Dr. Benjamin Bikman examines the metabolic crisis shared by 50% of America.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1201What We Discuss with Dr. Benjamin Bikman:Half of US adults have insulin resistance without knowing it. It's the upstream driver of most chronic diseases — from high blood pressure to erectile dysfunction to Alzheimer's — not just diabetes.Medical focus on blood glucose misses the real problem. Insulin levels are rarely tested, yet elevated insulin drives disease years before blood sugar becomes abnormal.Fat cell size matters more than total fat. East Asians develop insulin resistance with less weight gain because they have fewer, larger fat cells versus more, smaller ones in Europeans.Insulin resistance causes brain starvation. When neurons can't access glucose due to insulin resistance, cognition declines — which is why some in the medical community refer to Alzheimer's as "type 3 diabetes."Type 2 diabetes is reversible through carb restriction. In one study, 11 newly diagnosed patients reversed their diabetes in 90 days by eating unlimited protein and fat, just limiting carbs.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
