In this episode, I sit down with UCLA professor Dr. Chris Tang, a global supply chain expert with 40 years of experience, to unpack the real-world impact of the US-China trade war, the CHIPS Act, reshoring, and how global supply chain shifts are playing out on the ground. Dr. Tang breaks down why reshoring manufacturing isn't as easy—or as affordable—as we think, and how automation, tariffs, and labor shortages are rewriting America's industrial future. We also dive into the deeper issue affecting our society—why men are falling behind in education and the workforce, and what that means for the next generation.

If you’re worried about memory loss or have a family history of Alzheimer’s, this episode is a must-listen. Angela sits down with world-renowned neurologist and author Dr. Dale Bredesen to unpack the groundbreaking science behind Alzheimer’s prevention and reversal—even if you carry the APOE4 gene. With over 30 years of research, Dr. Bredesen shares how to optimise your brain health through metabolic flexibility, inflammation control, and personalised interventions. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Angela also opens up about her own genetic risk and experience caring for her mum with Alzheimer’s. They explore why cognitive decline is not inevitable and how Dr. Bredesen’s new book, The Ageless Brain, is putting the power back into your hands. Whether you're 35 or 75, the steps to preserve your cognition start now—and the tools have never been more accessible. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Alzheimer’s Is Preventable and Reversible: Dr. Bredesen explains how addressing root causes like inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and toxicity can stop and even reverse cognitive decline. Perimenopause and Brain Fog: Oestrogen loss affects brain energy metabolism, making perimenopausal women more vulnerable to cognitive decline. Your Brain Runs on Supply & Demand: Cognitive health depends on supporting your brain’s high energy needs while reducing inflammatory load and toxic exposure. Check Your Cognitive Biomarkers Early: Blood markers like P-Tau217, GFAP, and A-beta42 can reveal risk decades before symptoms appear. Lifestyle = Medicine: Sleep quality, insulin sensitivity, resistance training, brain stimulation, and even stress reduction all play a critical role. GLP-1s and Alzheimer’s Risk: While popular for weight loss, these drugs may negatively impact cognition in some people—especially APOE4 homozygotes.

BEST OF: Kanye West was a loved global icon until he opened his mouth and gave a personal opinion about certain powerful people and corporations. He was then dragged to UCLA, former home of CIA psychologist Dr. Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West, where he stayed in emergency care before reappearing to the public with blonde hair and a dazed look in his eye. His personality was still the same, but he became highly vocal about Adolf and the Jewish mafia. Kanye has then turned into a hated global villain for talking about banking, history, and so on. Perhaps something was done at UCLA to turn him into Kanye Jolyon West. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

There is an angle on Kanye West that appears as a pot of gold that remains untouched. Before Kanye's new "HH" song, which is indeed ripe for picking, and prior to his supposed glorification of Nazis or Hitler, he was pushing an adult film company, following an album titled "Jesus is King," itself in contrast with his earlier works. Is this the evolution of art, or just the genius of tapping into different markets? You don't have to look far to find something similar happening with Russel Brand who said he's "lit up with the Holy Spirit" after making bail in his rape and assault trial, or with the general "Christ is King" meme on social media. It's not that a person cannot or should not embrace a new faith, but that sometimes these conversions are suspicious. In Kanye's previous work, like his 2013 album "Yeezus," he performs a song called "I am God," and he has repeatedly referred to himself as a genius, or likened himself to Jesus or God in the past. The nickname "Yeezus" is derived from Jesus and "Yeezy," inspired by Jay Z, a man who has taken on the name J-Hov for Jehovah, and a man who alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of rape too. Yeezus is also sometimes considered a slang term for the anti-christ. In simple terms, Kanye evolved from ego-maniac man, to Jesus and God, to porn, and now to Hitler. We know when one of these major transitions occurred: back in 2016 he addressed his audience after suddenly stopping a concert, stating: “Google lied to you. Facebook lied to you. Radio lied to you.” He targeted the head of Facebook, Obama, and even Jay-Z. Almost instantly, his tour was canceled and he was hospitalized for a psychiatric emergency at UCLA. Interestingly, UCLA was also home to Dr Jolyon West's infamous psychiatric experiments for the CIA, which focused on split personalities - a common theme in the music industry. Kanye then emerged soon after with blonde hair looking like he was drugged or had a lobotomy. He then died his hair again soon after, this time yellow and pink. Those who have read "Strange Scenes Inside the Canyon" will be familiar with how artists and even social movements are often started by, or heavily influenced by, the military and intelligence community. This is true from music to UFOs, something Kanye tapped into in 2011 with Katy Perry and a song called ET. She sings: "you're from a whole 'nother world, a different dimension." The theme of music artists being associated with aliens is also a very common motif, something that again relates to their non-human, or god-like talents. Whether Kanye is under such implied influence, breaking such influence based on his behaviors, or is truly a genius, or something else, the fact remains that "HH" is in an entirely different category objectively. Besides a catchy hook and beat, the song isn't very impressive. But perhaps the music had its intended purpose already, considering how many platforms banned it almost immediately. Not because of the "n-word" but because of the "h-word." Note, many of those doing the banning are the same ones that allow for or promote degeneracy, pornography, digital prostitution, slavery, suicide, drugs, mental diseases, and the like. But Hitler is off limits apparently, no matter the context. And whatever their reasoning, the public has an even more extreme reaction. There are generally three kinds of people who like "HH"... people tired of censorship, people who genuinely love him for one reason or another, and people who think it's funny. To put it simply, Kanye was banned this time not for porn or even Jesus, but because he said "Hitler," something that is comical because he's as much a Nazi as he is or was a true Christian. Does anyone find it strange that this controversy seems to likewise overshadow the Diddy trial, who has essentially been protected by the media like Epstein? Kanye is bad for saying "Hitler" but Epstein, Diddy and Jay-Z are the good guys.The public glorification of Hitler or Nazis, like the constant use of such accusations for every political issue, is part of an historical straw man that has persisted since WWII. We don't even define what these terms mean, like how "nazi," or national socialist, technically has nothing to do race or Jews (ask Bernie Sanders, a national socialist), or how Hitler was by no metric the most evil man of the 20th-century. And Joe Rogan is right about how "HH" was banned, that such actions essentially prove Kanye's statements about a cabal of powerful David Stars controlling the music industry and image of the black man. Clearly there are powerful davinic interests involved limiting who can talk about Hitler considering the monopoly the holocaust industry already has on his image and history. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

David's journey is powerful. He left a great job, walked away from comfort, and took a risk, just to follow his passion for football and people.

We discuss what it's like to start from the bottom, battle through setbacks, build real relationships, and keep moving forward with faith and positivity. David shares so much wisdom about the power of action, the importance of mentors, and what it means to serve others, on and off the field. If you're searching for your purpose, or maybe you're facing a tough moment, you'll want to hear David's story. I loved this conversation. I know you will too. Let's get started. Your vision.

As Gen Z cements its role as the cultural vanguard and Gen Alpha begins to assert its voice, brands face mounting pressure to not only keep pace but to actively shape youth identity. With social commerce booming and physical retail undergoing reinvention, staying relevant means delivering experiences as dynamic as the customers themselves.

In this week's episode of then & now, we are joined by John Mikhail, Carroll Professor of Jurisprudence at Georgetown University Law Center, for a deep dive into the controversial theory of the unitary executive. Rooted in the Constitution's Vesting Clause, this theory asserts that the president holds centralized control over the executive branch. While the theory has longstanding roots in constitutional debates, the Trump administration has embraced and expanded this interpretation in unprecedented ways. John Mikhail traces the theory's historical origins, its legal evolution, and its increasingly assertive use under Trump 2.0. He examines how this broad view of executive power threatens the traditional balance among the three branches of government and raises pressing concerns about the future of checks and balances in the American constitutional system.John Mikhail is the Carroll Professor of Jurisprudence at Georgetown University Law Center, where he has taught since 2004. He teaches and writes on a variety of topics, including constitutional law, moral psychology, moral and legal theory, cognitive science, legal history, criminal law, torts, international law, and human rights. Professor Mikhail is the author of Elements of Moral Cognition: Rawls' Linguistic Analogy and the Cognitive Science of Moral and Legal Judgment (Cambridge University Press, 2011) and over fifty articles, chapters, essays, and reviews in peer-edited journals, law reviews, and anthologies.Further ReadingThe Vesting ClauseThe Unitary Executive Theory (UET), Cornell Law School

What’s Inside: Cannes Film Festival bans naked dressing on the red carpet The iconic event kicks off with new fashion rules and old-school glamour UCLA scientists may have found a breakthrough baldness treatment A molecule called PP405 could change the hair game by 2027 Episode Description:The Cannes Film Festival is known for its glitz, glamour, and show-stopping red carpet looks—but this year, they’re putting their foot down on fashion. Organizers have officially banned “naked dressing,” the sheer, skin-baring style that’s dominated celebrity wardrobes in recent years. As the 78th annual event kicks off, the festival is making it clear: elegance is back in, and body-baring looks are out. It’s a shift toward more classic, sophisticated style—at least for now. Meanwhile, in the world of science and self-esteem, researchers at UCLA may be on the verge of a baldness breakthrough. A molecule called PP405 is showing serious promise in early trials, reportedly waking up dormant hair follicles and prompting them to grow thick, real strands of hair—not just fuzz. Backed by Google Ventures and with $16 million raised so far, the treatment is moving through clinical trials and could be available by 2027 if it gets FDA approval. For millions of people, this could be a literal hair-raising game changer.

Send us a textWe've made progress talking about mental health, but why does your voice still shake when you admit "I'm not okay"? Why do we hesitate to reach out for help? Today, we're getting loud about what keeps us silent.Half of us will face mental health challenges, yet a third suffer alone because of shame. This episode unpacks how our upbringing literally rewired our brains to suppress emotions. Remember hearing "stop crying before I give you something to cry about"? That childhood conditioning creates adult anxiety around vulnerability. A 2015 study shows this isn't just emotional—it's neurological.I share my own childhood panic attacks that were dismissed as "being dramatic," revealing how toxic positivity and the false association between mental health struggles and weakness keep us isolated. The research is clear: avoiding uncomfortable emotions directly contributes to psychological distress.But this isn't just venting—it's about reclaiming your power through actionable, science-backed strategies. Learn how naming your emotions aloud calms your brain's fear center (UCLA research confirms this works). Discover why finding just one safe person for honest conversations matters more than money for long-term happiness (Harvard's longest study proves it). I'll guide you through building a daily emotional check-in habit that research shows reduces depression symptoms over time.Your healing journey doesn't have to be solo.

BEST OF TST: After a political and spiritual awakening/meltdown in 2016, Kanye West was rushed into medical and then psychiatric care at UCLA. Upon his return to the spotlight he was different. His hair was dyed blonde and suddenly he was on a path to finding Jesus, or as his 2011 album was called, Yeezus. He released YE in 2018 and his new disc is called Jesus is King. The blonde hair is significant and he references it on the new album along with a deal he made with some God to obtain favor. We have seen this hair from Eminem to Katy Perry. He says the only way he doesn't die is when he dyes his hair. So is this the GOD he made a deal with for "favor" the God of Heaven or Hell ? It is interesting to note that when it comes to mind control and programming, another West, Dr. Jolyon West, ran the psychiatric department at UCLA, where through the CIA, among others, mind control experiments were conducted. When seeing that Kanye refers to himself as genius, Rain Main or even Jesus, something that has not changed in the new album, then rather than being saved by Jesus, it seems he's been re-birthed by the infernal Yeezus, or anti-Jesus. He has been reprogrammed. His attitude otherwise has not changed either and at the very least he's tapped into a profitable christian market. His music and discography also contains numerous references to the number 8, three of which, 888, is the Greek numerical equivalent to Jesus. He furthermore reduced Yeezus from 2011 to Ye in 2018, mimicking the tetramorph of Yahweh reduced to YHWH.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

e-flux Education editor Juliana Halpert talks to Coleman Collins. Collins is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher whose work explores notions of diaspora in relation to technological methods of transmission, translation, copying, and reiteration. His most recent projects examine the connections between things-in-the-world and their digital approximations, paying particular attention to the ways in which real and virtual spaces are socially produced. Working across sculpture, video, photography, and text, Collins' practice attempts to locate a synthesis between seemingly opposed terms: subject and object; object and image; original and duplicate; freedom and captivity. Coleman Collins is a 2025 Guggenheim Fellow. He has also received support from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and Cafe Royal Cultural Foundation. He received an MFA from UCLA in 2018, and was a 2017 resident at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture. In 2019, he participated in the Whitney Museum's Independent Study Program.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's big rivalry series win over then-No. 14 UCLA that helped push the Trojans into the top 25 rankings for the first time since 2023. Shotgun and Kasey take a look at all the action, pointing out the positives of the Trojans improving to 32-16 with a 16-8 mark in Big Ten play and a third-place spot in the standings behind only Iowa and the Bruins. They discuss the power of names that start with the letter 'A' as well as the Trojans' ability to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss in the series opener to still be able to get the series win. Shotgun and Kasey also look at how USC boosted its resume behind strong production of a pair of Lopezes. The podcasters also discuss three negatives, including a growing trend for Caden Hunter and a tough outing for top reliever Brodie Burcell. USC hitting coach Travis Jewett then joins the show to talk about how the Trojans' offense was able to bounce back after failing to capitalize on opportunities in the series opener against UCLA, ending the game with the bases loaded in a one-run loss. He also discusses how the USC lineup has got longer and stronger as the season has progressed with the development of players like Andrew Lamb, Jack Basseer, Adrian and Augie Lopez. Jewett even talks about the art of helping hitters break out of slumps. After a break, Adrian Lopez joins the show to talk about his transfer portal journey that has taken him to two high schools and two colleges over the last four seasons and how he's found a home at USC, a place he didn't grow up rooting for but his whole family did. Lopez discusses his connection with Jewett and how the two have worked together this season. Lopez also shares his favorite between-inning festivity that takes place during games and talks about the connection of players, including ones on hated teams and those in the USC locker room. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans stand after winning another Big Ten series, improving their RPI briefly up to No. 29 (now No. 31). The podcast then previews USC's upcoming week of action with the Trojans taking on Big Ten Pitcher of the Year candidate Joseph Dzierwa and Michigan State at Great Park this weekend.

In OpenAI's case, it appears to have forced a dramatic reversal of the company's plans to sideline its nonprofit foundation, announced in a blog post that made headlines worldwide.The company's sudden announcement that its nonprofit will “retain control” credits “constructive dialogue” with the attorneys general of California and Delaware — corporate-speak for what was likely a far more consequential confrontation behind closed doors. A confrontation perhaps driven by public pressure from Nobel Prize winners, past OpenAI staff, and community organisations.But whether this change will help depends entirely on the details of implementation — details that remain worryingly vague in the company's announcement.Return guest Rose Chan Loui, nonprofit law expert at UCLA, sees potential in OpenAI's new proposal, but emphasises that “control” must be carefully defined and enforced: “The words are great, but what's going to back that up?” Without explicitly defining the nonprofit's authority over safety decisions, the shift could be largely cosmetic.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/rcl4Why have state officials taken such an interest so far? Host Rob Wiblin notes, “OpenAI was proposing that the AGs would no longer have any say over what this super momentous company might end up doing. … It was just crazy how they were suggesting that they would take all of the existing money and then pursue a completely different purpose.”Now that they're in the picture, the AGs have leverage to ensure the nonprofit maintains genuine control over issues of public safety as OpenAI develops increasingly powerful AI.Rob and Rose explain three key areas where the AGs can make a huge difference to whether this plays out in the public's best interest:Ensuring that the contractual agreements giving the nonprofit control over the new Delaware public benefit corporation are watertight, and don't accidentally shut the AGs out of the picture.Insisting that a majority of board members are truly independent by prohibiting indirect as well as direct financial stakes in the business.Insisting that the board is empowered with the money, independent staffing, and access to information which they need to do their jobs.This episode was originally recorded on May 6, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Rose is back!

May 5, 1862. The French have landed in Mexico. Napoleon III wants to conquer the country and assert France's imperial dominance in the Americas. In his way? The Mexican army, held up in the city of Puebla. The Battle of Puebla will come to define this struggle: a European monarch against a fledgling democracy, led by Benito Juárez. Mexico's victory will be especially celebrated by Latinos in the United States, who are watching this struggle play out while their new country is embroiled in a Civil War. This first holiday, in 1862, would mark the beginning of a new tradition, unique to this new American community. How is Cinco de Mayo connected to a broad struggle for freedom across the continent in the 1860s? And what does this holiday really mean? Special thanks to David Hayes-Bautista, distinguished professor of medicine and director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and author of El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition.
