Seat-based Pricing war jahrelang der Standardvertrag zwischen Softwareunternehmen und ihren Kunden: pro Nutzer, pro Monat, planbar für beide Seiten. KI verändert diese Logik grundlegend, weil Unternehmen Software nicht mehr nach Nutzerzahl, sondern nach Ergebnis bewerten. In Folge 126 lädt Sebastian Voigt live auf dem vierten hy Pricing Summit im Journalistenclub bei Axel Springer in Berlin vier Gäste zum Gespräch, die den Wandel aus genau den richtigen Perspektiven beleuchten: Gülsah Wilke bringt den VC-Blick auf frühe SaaS- und KI-Investments, Dr. Toni Schmidt den PE-Blick auf mittelständische Softwareunternehmen in der Transformation, Gordian Braun die Innenperspektive eines der am schnellsten wachsenden KI-Modellanbieter weltweit und Felix Rahlmeyer die Datenperspektive aus über 10.000 gelisteten Softwareprodukten auf OMR Reviews. Outcome-based Pricing ist für DN Capital längst Pflicht, nicht Kür: Investitionen in Unternehmen ohne ROI-Komponente im Preismodell werden kritisch beäugt. Flex Capital sieht das differenzierter: Für deterministische Prozesse braucht es klassische Software, die keine LLM-Lösung ersetzen kann. ElevenLabs löst die Frage der Token-Kommunikation pragmatisch, indem Credits direkt in Nutzungsminuten übersetzt werden, die teuerste Einheit auf der Agents-Plattform liegt bei rund 8 Cent pro Minute. Und OMR Reviews zeigt, dass Käufer trotz allem Wandel Planungssicherheit einfordern und Flat-Fee-Modelle weiter bevorzugen. Wie Gülsah Wilke es auf den Punkt bringt: „Ich glaube schon, dass in den Zeiten, wo wir Unternehmen sehen, die immer mehr KI-Agenten einsetzen wollen, Seat-based Pricing nicht mehr ganz funktioniert, sondern der Fokus viel, viel stärker auf Outcome, echten ROI oder Revenue-Impact liegt. Trotzdem sehen wir gerne hybride Modelle, wo du eine Art Platform-Fee hast, kombiniert mit einem klaren Revenue oder ROI. Es ist immer ein Outcome-Based-Element dabei, und das kommt auch sehr stark aus dem Kunden-Pull." Über die Gäste Gülsah Wilke ist Partnerin bei DN Capital, einem der ältesten aktiven VCs in Berlin mit einer Milliarde Assets under Management und Investments in Auto1, Mr. Spex, Shazam und zuletzt Cognizy, verkauft mit einem 22x Multiple an die US-amerikanische KI-Firma NICE. Dr. Toni Schmidt ist Partner bei Flex Capital, einem Berliner PE-Haus mit Fokus auf mittelständische B2B-Software- und Technologieunternehmen im DACH-Raum, und war zuvor CEO der AVEX Group, einem vertikalen ERP-Roll-up für Optiker und Akustiker. Gordian Braun leitet das Growth-Geschäft für Europa und Lateinamerika bei ElevenLabs, dem führenden Anbieter für Audio-KI-Modelle mit einer aktuellen Bewertung von 11 Milliarden Dollar und 75 Prozent aller Fortune-500-Unternehmen als Kunden. Zuvor war er als Interim General Manager und Growth Consultant in PE-finanzierten Unternehmen tätig. Felix Rahlmeyer ist Mitgründer von OMR Reviews, einer Vergleichsplattform für über 10.000 Softwareprodukte, und Co-Autor des jährlichen SaaS- und AI-Pricing-Reports gemeinsam mit dem hy Pricing Summit.

Hannah Arendt'in, Nasyonal Sosyalizmin yarattığı bürokrat tipolojisini karakterize etmek için kullandığı “kötülüğün sıradanlığı” kavramı, Nazi Almanya'sındaki eylemlerin motivasyonu ve niteliğine dair önemli bir çerçeve sunuyor. Saf kötülüğün hiyerarşik bir düzlemde nasıl sıradanlaştığı ve herhangi bir itiraz olmadan kabul edildiği gerçeği, Arendt'in Eichman'ın yargılanması esnasında edindiği izlenimdi. Eichman bir Nazi subayı olarak Holokostun icrasında kendisine tevdi edilen görevleri yerine getiren ve bunları herhangi bir biçimde sorgulamayan bir itaat zincirinin parçası idi. İşleyen bir mekanizmanın dişlisi olarak işlevselleştirilen Eichman, Nazilerin bütününe teşmil edecek bir performansın mücessem hali idi.

From oil flows to capital power and information control, the episode tracks how geopolitics is reshaping global business.

Der deutsche Einzelhandel operiert in einem harten Verdrängungswettbewerb, in dem psychologische Preisschwellen und Intransparenz oft die Oberhand gewinnen. Während die Inflation offiziell sinkt, erleben Verbraucher an der Kasse durch „Shrinkflation“ oder dynamische Preisanpassungen oft eine andere Realität. Sebastian Voigt spricht mit Frank Ochse, dem Sparfochs von Bild, über seine Rolle als selbsternannter Anwalt der Leser. Mit einer Millionenreichweite deckt er unter anderem auf, wie Anbieter mit Preislogiken, Rabatten und Intransparenz arbeiten. Im Gespräch geht es darum, warum die Eigenmarken der Discounter oft die preisstabilere Alternative zu Markenprodukten sind. Außerdem erklärt Frank, weshalb transparente Kommunikation bei Preisänderungen häufig besser funktioniert als viele Unternehmen denken und wie Verbraucher mit den richtigen Routinen jedes Jahr spürbar sparen können. Über den Gast Frank Ochse alias der „Sparfochs“ ist einer der bekanntesten Verbraucherjournalisten Deutschlands. Er schreibt auf bild.de, in Newslettern und in Spiegel-Bestsellern über Schnäppchen, Verbraucherfallen und Preistricks. Er ist seit 2003 bei Axel Springer, war zunächst im Aufbau von Bild.de aktiv, später unter anderem Polizeireporter und ist heute Ressortleiter Sparfochs & Leserdialog bei BILD, Moderator und Autor. Und wer einen Preis-Fail, eine Verbraucherfalle oder einen starken Spartipp entdeckt hat, kann Frank gerne per Mail schreiben: sparfochs@bild.de

Die letzten Wochen waren bei hy vor allem eines: Management Buyout (MBO). Zwölf Monate Verhandlung, unzählige Fragen von Kunden, Partnern und dem Netzwerk, und jetzt, wo der Staub sich legt, nehmen sich Sebastian Herzog und Dr. Sebastian Voigt endlich die Zeit, den ganzen Prozess einmal offen zu erzählen. Diese Folge erscheint als Sonderfolge bei Pricing Friends und gleichzeitig bei unseren Kolleginnen von Return on Innovation. Und weil Sebastian Voigt bei Pricing Friends normalerweise selbst moderiert, dreht sich heute der Spieß um: Er sitzt gemeinsam mit Sebastian Herzog auf der anderen Seite des Mikros, bei Heike Löffler von Return on Innovation. Im Gespräch nehmen die beiden Geschäftsführer die Hörerinnen und Hörer mit durch zwölf Monate Verhandlung, erklären wie die Loslösung vom bisherigen Mehrheitseigentümer Axel Springer strategisch und operativ ablief, welche Rolle ein professioneller M&A-Partner dabei spielte und wo es wirklich heikel wurde. An konkreten Beispielen wie neuen Joint-Venture-Modellen und erfolgsbasierter Vergütung wird deutlich, was "Skin in the Game" für hy in der Praxis bedeutet. Und sie machen klar, warum dieser MBO für sie kein Exit ist, sondern ein Entry in eine neue Wachstumsphase, in der Internationalisierung, Verdopplung der Unternehmensgröße und der Erhalt der Firmenkultur gleichzeitig auf dem Spiel stehen. Über die Gäste Sebastian Herzog und Dr. Sebastian Voigt sind Geschäftsführer der Unternehmensberatung hy Consulting Group GmbH. Sebastian Herzog verantwortet, unter anderem mit Erfahrung aus der Lufthansa-Transformation, das Feld Strategie und Innovation, während der ehemalige Springer-Manager Sebastian Voigt den Bereich Pricing und Commercial Excellence leitet. Als partnergeführte Unternehmensberatung mit Sitz in Berlin arbeitet hy mit einem über 60-köpfigen Team an Wachstum, Skalierung und der Monetarisierung datengetriebener Geschäftsmodelle.

──────────────────────────────────────── [01:02:09:25] FCC Bans Foreign Wi-Fi Routers — Real Motive Is Government Backdoor Access The FCC is banning most foreign-made routers under a national security pretext, with the argument made that the real intent is replacing foreign surveillance backdoors with domestic government ones — part of a broader pattern of banning 3D printers, open source software, and foreign drones. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:17:09:22] Trump Is the Father of Mail-In Voting Fraud — Then Cast a Mail-In Ballot Himself Trump, who championed universal mail-in voting in 2020 and is now pushing legislation to restrict it, chose to vote by mail himself in a Mar-a-Lago special election despite being eligible to vote early in person — a direct contradiction his own Save America Act campaign is built on. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:22:05:24] Three States Introduce Bills Designating mRNA Injections as Weapons of Mass Destruction Minnesota, Arizona, and Tennessee have introduced legislation classifying mRNA COVID shots as biological weapons of mass destruction. Tennessee's bill makes manufacturing or distributing them a Class B felony, with violations treated the same as possessing a weapon of mass destruction. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:39:46:10] Polymarket Accounts Making Suspicious Pre-Announcement Bets on Iran Ceasefire Following the $1.5B stock and $192M oil insider trades from the previous day, new suspicious bets are appearing on Polymarket — an offshore platform outside US jurisdiction — on Iran ceasefire outcomes, with the pattern matching advance knowledge of Trump's announcements. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:49:10:22] Former MI6 Chief: Iran Has the Upper Hand — US Underestimated the War From the Start A former MI6 senior officer states Iran is winning, having spent 20 years preparing for this attack by dispersing military assets and delegating weapons authority. He says Iran has successfully globalized the conflict and is using the energy war as leverage while the US has lost the strategic initiative. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:59:48:25] Nancy Mace to Lindsey Graham: You Have No Kids — Stop Sending Ours to Die in Iran Rep. Nancy Mace directly attacks Graham and Cruz for pushing ground troops into Iran, noting Netanyahu's son is living in Miami while American children are sent to war. Ted Cruz admitted to riding with Trump the day before the attack and personally urging him to launch it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:02:46:20] Ted Cruz Admitted He Urged the Iran Attack — Didn't Know Iran's Population or Topography During a Tucker Carlson interview, Cruz revealed he didn't know Iran's population, land area, topography, or military structure before urging Trump to launch the war. Reuters confirmed Trump approved the strikes after speaking directly with Netanyahu. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:04:12:09] Netanyahu's Calculated Bet: Drag America Into a Losing War to Reshape the Middle East Before US Dominance Ends Analysis is presented that Netanyahu may have intentionally dragged the US into a costly war knowing American global primacy is ending — extracting maximum military value from Trump before the US-Israel relationship becomes strategically worthless in a multipolar world. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:11:24:24] Iran Offers to Let Chinese-Paying Ships Through the Strait — Setting Up a Petroyuan to Replace Petrodollar Iran is allowing ships paying in Chinese yuan to transit the Strait of Hormuz, effectively using the war to establish a Chinese-backed petrocurrency system — a direct structural challenge to US dollar dominance in global energy markets. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:21:14:21] Axel Springer Buys the UK Telegraph — New Owner Declares Support for Israel as Editorial Condition Germany's largest media conglomerate Axel Springer has acquired the UK's Telegraph newspaper. The CEO's public statement explicitly declares support for Israel's right to exist and opposition to anti-Semitism as a core editorial position, raising concerns about further consolidation of pro-Israel media ownership. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:27:32:16] JP Morgan Paid $920M for Rigging Precious Metals Markets — Nobody Went to Jail JP Morgan Chase admitted wrongdoing and paid over $920 million to settle federal charges for years of precious metals futures manipulation, offered as direct precedent for understanding current gold and oil market manipulation tied to Trump's war announcements. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:55:51:10] Hegseth Declared Iran's Leadership Dead and Powerless on March 4th — They Immediately Launched a Major Strike Just days after the war began, Hegseth publicly declared Iran's senior leaders dead, its governing council destroyed, and its military unable to communicate or mount any offensive — statements immediately contradicted by a large-scale Iranian missile barrage, with a retired major general calling his conduct that of a potential war criminal. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

In this week's Market Maker Podcast M&A episode, we break down the biggest deals moving markets right now. We start with Axel Springer's $770 million acquisition of the Daily Telegraph, the proposed Airbus–Leonardo–Thales space merger aimed at competing with SpaceX, and the latest developments in the Monte dei Paschi–Mediobanca deal. We also discuss a new take-private bid for Papa John's and a recent investment into AmplifyME.We then dive into the rapid rise of prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. These platforms allow users to trade contracts on real-world outcomes—from crypto prices and politics to economic events. With valuations potentially approaching $20 billion, we explore how prediction markets work, why hedge funds are beginning to exploit arbitrage opportunities, and whether this could evolve into a new financial market infrastructure or remain a controversial betting niche.Chapters(00:00) Introduction(01:18) Axel Springer Buys the Telegraph(05:11) European Space Merger vs SpaceX(06:52) Monte dei Paschi–Mediobanca Deal(07:24) Papa John's Take-Private Bid(10:27) AmplifyME Investment Explained(13:33) What Are Prediction Markets?(20:06) Prediction Market Size(22:52) Who Built Polymarket & Kalshi?(29:02) Hedge Funds Enter Prediction Markets(32:49) Market Manipulation Risks(38:42) Regulation & Legal Risks(41:51) The Bull Case for Prediction Markets(42:43) The Bear Case for Prediction Markets(46:01) Final ThoughtsFind out more about simulation in attraction, training and assessment www.amplifyme.comSubscribe to the Market Maker daily newsletter

It's the season 4 finale and we're celebrating at 150 bpm, when Vitaly Friedman joins us to talk about his lifelong journey through techno music. It all began in Belarus when, as a child, he discovered The Prodigy on cassette, continuing into his teens, that were spent obsessively exploring every possible musical avenue. Vitaly explains his preference for minimal, melodic, and "honest" techno over mainstream EDM, emphasizing his deep appreciation for the craft, passion, and commitment artists put into their work. He discusses how music serves different functions in his life, whether providing flow and calmness while working, or creating vivid, cinematic experiences at live concerts, and reveals his practice of continuously discovering new artists to avoid getting stuck.Guest BioVitaly Friedman (he/him) loves beautiful content and does not give up easily. Born in Minsk, Belarus, he studied computer science and mathematics in Germany. While writing algebra proofs and preparing for software engineering at nights in the kitchen, at the same time he discovered passion for typography, interface design and writing. After working as a freelance designer and developer for 6 years, he co-founded Smashing Magazine back in 2006, a leading online magazine for designers and developers. His curiosity drove him from interface design to front-end to performance optimization to accessibility and back to user experience over all the years. Vitaly is the author, co-author and editor of Smashing Books (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/books), and a curator of Smashing Conferences (https://www.smashingconf.com). He is the UX lead with the European Parliament and Smashing Magazine and front-end/UX consultant in Europe and abroad, working with large and small companies and organizations like Haufe-Lexware, Axel-Springer and others. He also runs Measure UX (https://measure-ux.com) and Smart Interface Design Patterns (https://smart-interface-design-patterns.com), friendly video courses on UX and design patterns, along with a live UX training for passionate UX and product designers.

Aufgewachsen in einem Journalistenhaushalt und mit dem Wunsch irgendwann mal Bild-Chefredakteur zu werden, absolvierte er die Axel-Springer-Akademie und machte sich zunächst als Kriegsreporter einen Namen, unter anderem in Afghanistan, dem Irak, Sudan und Syrien. 2014 übernahm er die Leitung von Bild.de, 2017 wurde er als Nachfolger von Kai Diekmann Vorsitzender der Bild-Chefredaktionen. Im Oktober 2021 wurde er von Axel Springer abberufen – ein Bruch, der bis heute unterschiedlich gedeutet wird. Seit 2022 betreibt Reichelt den YouTube-Kanal „Achtung, Reichelt!", seit 2023 ist er Chefredakteur und geschäftsführender Direktor von Nius, einem der reichweitenstärksten "alternativen" Nachrichtenportale im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sein Selbstverständnis: furchtloser Journalismus gegen Scheinheiligkeit und Machtmissbrauch – seine Kritiker sehen darin rechtspopulistische Meinungsmache.Im Gespräch mit Jasmin Kosubek spricht Reichelt über die Epstein-Akten und den drohenden Vertrauenskollaps gegenüber den globalen Eliten, über seine Zeit als Bild-Chefredakteur und die Mechanismen von Macht und Nähe zwischen Medien und Politik. Er schildert, wie eine schriftliche Anweisung von Friede Springer ihn während der Pandemie erreichte, warum er die Corona-Zeit als „Blick in die Mechanismen des Totalitarismus" beschreibt und weshalb er seine eigene Impfempfehlung heute als Fehler bezeichnet. Ein intensives Interview über Vertrauen, Fehler und die Frage, ob der Journalismus Deutschland verraten hat.

In der neuesten Ausgabe von „In kleiner Runde – Medien Insider“ nehmen Maurice Gajda und Julia Krüger die aktuelle Medienwelt unter die Lupe und da gibt es sehr viel zu berichten-Zwischen persönlichen Updates und dem Blick auf die Weltlage schlagen die beiden die Brücke von tiefgründigen Debatten bis hin zum besten Entertainment-Talk.Unsere ThemenTechnik & Verantwortung: Wie gefährlich sind KI-generierte Inhalte wirklich und blockiert TikTok regierungskritische Inhalte in den USA?TV-Highlights & Veränderungen: Wir sprechen über die Verönderungen beim GNTM-Finale und die Show-Sensation des Jahres: die Kaulitz-Zwillinge übernehmen „Wetten, dass..?“Reality-Check: Eine ausführliche Bilanz zum Dschungelcamp und die aktuellen Streaming-Erfolge vom ZDF!Personalien der Branche: Was steckt hinter dem Wechsel bei Axel Springer und warum Lars Eidinger bald als Superschurke glänzt?

Dylan Byers joins Peter for a clear-eyed look at the scrutiny facing Bari Weiss's leadership at CBS News—what her critics are getting right, what they're missing, and whether she can recover from an increasingly rocky start. Then they game out the Politico succession, and why Axel Springer might favor an external hire to revitalize the business.

Two years after OpenAI signed its first content licensing deal with Axel Springer, the field of AI platforms doing business with publishers has expanded exponentially. Especially just in the past year. But then the publishers have to evaluate those options. Fortunately Digiday senior media editor Jessica Davies and senior media reporter Sara Guaglione have done a lot of that legwork in drafting a scorecard of the major AI platforms based on interviews with publishers. They joined the show to review the rankings and share the reasoning behind why platforms from Meta to Microsoft, Anthropic to OpenAI may rate higher or lower than you'd expect. Check out Jess and Sara's written scorecard here: https://digiday.com/media/publishers-scorecard-for-big-techs-ai-licensing-deals/

Jon Kelly returns for a special episode to unpack the meaningful, if unsurprising, leadership change at Politico and contemplate what it suggests about parentco Axel Springer's ambitions. Then he and Peter weigh in on the latest Bari Weiss discourse.

Kent Bye—host of the Voices of VR podcast and one of XR's most prolific journalists with over 1,680 published interviews—joins Charlie and Ted for a wide ranging conversation on the state of immersive storytelling, the ethics of AI, and why XR's future might be less about consumer headsets and more about embodied presence and human connection. Kent's decade-long commitment to documenting artists, creators, and developers at the ground level offers a counterpoint to hype-driven tech coverage, revealing the messy, vital ecosystem sustaining VR through festival circuits, location-based entertainment, and government-funded experimental projects that rarely make headlines.The conversation opens with Jeff Bezos's new AI robotics company Prometheus, Amazon's one-to-one human-robot workforce parity, and the implications of industrial AI automation. Ted shares his recent appearance on cinematographer Roger Deakins's podcast, where they discussed AI as a creative tool rather than a threat—a perspective Kent echoes when discussing artists who use AI to critique AI's "colonizing force." Kent explains his philosophy of "boots on the ground" journalism inspired by Knight Ridder's Iraq War reporting, focusing on developers and creators closest to the work rather than corporate press releases.Kent reveals why he's been lukewarm on smart glasses despite industry excitement—monocular displays give him headaches, his prescription is too strong for current hardware, and most importantly, there's no compelling narrative content yet. He contrasts this with VR's rich immersive storytelling at festivals like Venice Immersive, Sundance New Frontier, IDFA DocLab, and Tribeca, where government-funded European projects push the medium's boundaries in ways U.S. startups can't afford to explore. The discussion touches on Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses, the impracticality of Meta's neural band input, and why Snap's developer platform remains the most interesting AR ecosystem despite limited consumer traction.Guest HighlightsPublished 1,682 VR interviews with 1,000+ unpublished; focused on artists, creators, and developers over corporate narratives.Covers 30+ hours of immersive content per festival at Venice, Sundance, IDFA DocLab—documenting ephemeral art that may never distribute widely.Started in 2014 after buying Oculus DK1; began by capturing oral history at Silicon Valley VR Conference's first gathering.Background as F-22 Raptor radar systems engineer turned documentary filmmaker—blends hardcore technical knowledge with artistic sensibility.Advocates for XR as antidote to smartphone addiction—technologies that foster embodied presence rather than infinite distraction.News HighlightsJeff Bezos launches Prometheus AI robotics company—focusing on industrial applications where enterprise adoption will drive innovation faster than consumer markets.Amazon hits one-to-one human-robot workforce parity—roughly 1 million humans, 1 million robots, with plans to shed 100K+ workers over five years.Warner Brothers settles with AI music company Udio—following Axel Springer, AP, and Fox licensing deals as New York Times litigation drags on.Enterprise AI startups raise massive rounds—Stut (collections automation, $29.5M from Andreessen), Albatross (real-time personalization, $12.5M), signaling vertical-specific AI SaaS wave.HaptX acquired by Ohio manufacturer—haptic glove company pivots to industrial training applications after years targeting consumer VR.Thanks to our sponsors Zappar and VitureNew episodes every Tuesday.

Google gaat de AI-assistent Gemini diep integreren in zijn browser Chrome. De slimme agent kan tabbladen, browsegeschiedenis en zelfs YouTube-voorkeuren analyseren om gebruikers actief te helpen – en wordt in de VS gratis beschikbaar. De aankondiging volgt kort na een rechterlijke uitspraak dat Google zijn browser mag behouden, ondanks de monopoliepositie op de zoekmarkt. Voor Google is dit een cruciale zet: concurrenten als OpenAI, Anthropic en Perplexity werken aan eigen AI-browsers die gebruikers weg kunnen trekken van Google. Door Gemini in Chrome én zakelijke producten als Gmail, Docs en Agenda te verwerken, wil Google zijn dominante positie veiligstellen. Ook voor enterprise-gebruikers belooft dit een flinke verandering: AI kan straks vergaderingen plannen, e-mails opstellen en workflows automatiseren. Verder in deze Tech Update: Meta praat opnieuw met uitgevers: Het bedrijf zoekt licentiedeals met onder meer Axel Springer en News Corp om nieuwsartikelen te gebruiken voor AI-training. Dat is opvallend, want Meta wilde de afgelopen jaren juist niet meer betalen voor nieuws. AI-minister houdt eerste speech in Albanië: De digitale minister Diella reageerde op kritiek met de boodschap dat “mensen het echte gevaar zijn, niet machines”. De AI-bot moet de Albanese overheid helpen bij de bestrijding van corruptie.

Today on the show, Fareed speaks with Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, about President Trump's foreign policy, from his proposal to “take over” Gaza, to the potential for a new nuclear deal with Iran.    Next, President of the International Rescue Committee David Miliband discusses how the Trump administration's decision to all but shutter USAID will impact the world's most vulnerable people.   Then, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, speaks with Fareed about the danger of increasing US tariffs on Europe, and how the EU and the US ought rather to work together to counter autocratic powers globally.    After that, Syria is at a crossroads following the ouster of long-time dictator Bashar al-Assad. Syrian-American journalist Alia Malek describes the “hopeful and vigilant” mood among the Syrian people.    Finally, Americas Quarterly Editor-in-Chief Brian Winter joins the show to discuss El Salvador's offer to jail US prisoners, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Latin America, and the new administration's focus on the region.    GUESTS: Richard Haass (@RichardHaass), David Miliband (@DMiliband), Mathias Döpfner, Alia Malek (@AliaMalek), Brian Winter (@BrazilBrian)  Learn more about your ad choices.

Joan transitioned from male to female during her tenure as a biology professor at Stanford University. When Roughgarden's colleagues perceived her as a man, they took her competence as a given. After her transition, though, Joan found she had “to establish competence to an extent that men never have to.

Ralph welcomes retired diplomat Ambassador Chas Freeman to discuss the United States' disregard for international law, the incoming Trump administration's approach to foreign policy, and the decline of the American Empire (among other topics).Ambassador Chas Freeman is a retired career diplomat who has negotiated on behalf of the United States with over 100 foreign governments in East and South Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and both Western and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Freeman was previously a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok and Beijing. He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. In addition to Chinese, Ambassador Freeman speaks French and Spanish at the professional level and can converse in Arabic and several other languages.He concluded his thirty years in public service as Assistant Secretary of Defense, responsible for managing defense relations with all regions of the world except the countries of the former Soviet Union. Ambassador Freeman is the author of several well-received books on statecraft and diplomacy, including The Diplomat's Dictionary, America's Misadventures in the Middle East, and America's Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East.I think it's fair to say that our country led the drive for international law, a world order that was based on rules established by consensus and legitimized at the United Nations. But we have also led the drive away from the rule of law, both internationally and domestically. And I think the connection is contempt for procedural justice or due process.Chas FreemanThat whole area of international law—which was a stabilizing force in the world—has gone [when Trump removed us from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Agreement in Europe.] And the UN Charter is disrespected—not just the US Constitution is—in its fundamentals. We invade the sovereignty of other countries with no serious regard for the legal prohibitions against that. And in fact, those legal prohibitions—which once were something that smaller countries could rely upon when they confronted the great powers—are no longer effective. Therefore, we see at the local level, the regional level, a proliferation of weapons designed to counter and defend against attack by greater powers. So the whole world is in effect arming itself. This is very good for arms manufacturers, but it's very bad for the prospects for our species.Chas FreemanThere are no realistic threats against the United States—except those that we are provoking. Our view seems to be that the best way to deal with the hornet's nest—I'm speaking of West Asia, the Middle East here—is to go and poke the hornets in their nest.Chas FreemanThe real risk now…is Israel has so much power in the US that it could create incidents which would flip the United States into a blazing barrage of empire expansion— and suppression in the United States domestically. And they have an incoming president who is ripe for that kind of manipulation to begin with.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 12/11/241. On December 4th, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was assassinated in broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan. Clues indicated that the killing was political; most notably, the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were each written on one of the three bullets fired at the scene. As AP notes, “The messages mirror the phrase ‘delay, deny, defend,' which is commonly used by lawyers and critics about insurers that delay payments, deny claims and defend their actions.” Following nearly two full days of nescience, authorities turned up a suspect – Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League-educated scion of an established Baltimore family who had shown signs of increasingly erratic behavior in recent months, perhaps related to ever-worsening back pain. When Mangione was apprehended in an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald's, he was found with “a three-page handwritten document that indicated ‘motivation and mindset,'” the BBC reports, however authorities have not released this manifesto. Perhaps unsurprisingly, ABC 7 New York reports that Mangione's actions have unleashed a torrent of “‘volcanic' anger,” toward health insurance agencies, which many regard as capricious and cruel. It remains to be seen how this public sentiment will factor into what is sure to be a highly-publicized criminal trial.2. The reverberations of Mangione's actions are already being felt. Back in November, the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued a statement decrying Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's unilateral declaration that it would refuse to “pay for anesthesia care if [a] surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes.” The ASA called on Anthem to reverse that proposal, but their pleas were ignored. That is until December 5th – just one day after the UnitedHealthcare shooting – when the company abruptly reversed themselves and even scrubbed the announcement of the policy from their website. Of course, Anthem insists that the outcry was based on “misinformation” and denies any correlation between the assassination and their decision, per NBC, but the timing frankly makes that difficult to believe.3. Another New York City killing also made the news last week: the trial of Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine on trial for strangling Jordan Neely to death in a New York subway car. Neely was an African-American street artist who had been experiencing homelessness. CNN reports Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide, already a lesser charge than the original second-degree manslaughter allegation, which Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed Friday after jurors “twice told the court they could not come to a verdict on the count.” Neely's father, Andre Zachary, is quoted saying “I miss my son. My son didn't have to go through this. I didn't have to go through this either…What's going to happen to us now? I've had enough of this. The system is rigged.”4. Turning to the Middle East, the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has fallen. Assad, with help from Russia, has clung to power since the country descended into civil war in 2011, beating back all manner of rival forces ranging from U.S.-backed rebels to left-wing Kurdish militias to ISIS. The faction that finally did wrest power from Assad is called Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham or HTS, which splintered from Al-Qaeda but is now engaging in a so-called “charm offensive” per France24, and promoting itself as a tolerant faction that will not subjugate women or oppress ethnic and religious minorities such as Syrian Christians, Druze, and Kurds. In a statement, the group told the Kurds of Aleppo “You have the right to live freely … Diversity is a strength of which we are proud…We denounce the actions of the Islamic State group against the Kurds, including the enslavement of women … We are with the Kurds to build the Syria of tomorrow.” ABC reports the U.S. will “recognize and support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, destroys chemical weapons stocks and protects the rights of minorities and women.” So far HTS seems to fit the bill. And if this all wasn't enough, the Syrian situation is further complicated by Israel using this moment to expand its foothold in the country. CNN reports Israel has “launched airstrikes at military targets across Syria and deployed ground troops both into and beyond a demilitarized buffer zone for the first time in 50 years,” setting the stage for a possible new front in Netanyahu's ongoing regional war.5. In Palestine, the Intercept reports five Palestinians in the West Bank, along with the councils of the three villages they hail from have filed “a formal regulatory complaint in Germany accusing the media giant Axel Springer of contributing to human rights abuses in Palestine.” Specifically, the complaint concerns Yad2, a classified ads platform and subsidiary of Axel Springer that has been compared to Craigslist, which the plaintiffs allege enables illegal settlements. According to the complaint filed by Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Centre, Yad2's facilitation of settler activity violates Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which “requires German companies to identify and mitigate human rights risks within their global supply chains, including in subsidiaries which they control.”6. In more Israel/Palestine news, the student body at Yale has “overwhelmingly,” passed three pro-Palestine referenda, including two demanding that the university “disclose and divest from its holdings in military weapons manufacturers, ‘including those arming Israel,'” per Yale Daily News. These measures passed with around 80% of the vote. Han Pimental-Hayes, an organizer with the pro-Palestine Sumud Coalition, is quoted saying “University leaders have long tried to paint pro-Palestine and pro-divestment students as a fringe minority. The results of this referendum demonstrate that in reality, the movement for a free Palestine and a more ethical endowment is overwhelmingly popular.” Yale Friends of Israel however expressed that they are “certain” Yale will not change its investment policy regarding Israel's weapons of war.7. Looking to Africa, Semafor reports that the incoming Trump White House appears set to recognize the breakaway state of Somaliland, spurred on by right-wing elements who wish to use the unrecognized country as a base for anti-China intelligence operations. This piece highlights that this move would rattle the governments of East Africa and draw the ire of the African Union, but Trump's China hawks see it as a critical element of countering Chinese influence in the region and particularly in Djibouti where the People's Liberation Army has set up one of its handful of foreign military bases. Even if Trump does not recognize Somaliland however, and instead hews to the traditional American “One Somalia” policy, Republicans are calling for Trump to take an approach akin to Taiwan – treating it as independent without formal recognition.8. Turning to domestic politics, POLITICO reports Democrats are staging a “mutiny” against the old guard who have monopolized power in the House. This report focuses on Rep. Jerry Nadler, 77, who will vacate his position as the top Democrat on Judiciary to clear the way for Jamie Raskin, Rep. Raul Grijalva, 76, who announced he would step down as the top Dem on the Natural Resources Committee, and David Scott of Georgia, 79, who is looking down the barrel at multiple challenges for his spot on the Agriculture Committee. Since this piece was published, another major challenge has emerged – NBC reports AOC is gunning for the top Democratic spot on the Oversight Committee. The POLITICO piece emphasizes Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' approach of letting the challenges “speak for themselves,” as an indication that he will not fight this wave of challenges.9. Washington Post labor reporter Lauren Kaori Gurley reports the Teamsters are demanding Amazon agree to bargaining dates by December 15. In a statement, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien writes “The Teamsters are done asking nicely for Amazon to stop breaking the law. Amazon must commit to come to the table and bargain a Teamsters contract with its workers — or face the consequences of its inaction.” This gambit by the Teamsters comes just as the winter holiday gift deliveries are getting into full swing, maximizing the union's leverage. Moreover, the Teamster's Faustian bargain with the Trump administration may yield results for them, as the normally business friendly Republicans may be inclined to put the screws to Amazon on behalf of this particular union. Whatever the circumstances, the Amazon Teamsters deserve a contract and it is heartening that O'Brien is fighting for his members.10. In decidedly worse Trump news, the president-elect has announced former Missouri Republican Congressman Billy Long as his pick to lead the IRS. A story by the Lever sounds the alarm on how he might use the “non-profit killer” bill to pursue political vendettas against tax-exempt organizations he dislikes. This piece exposes Long's role in trying to pressure the IRS to launch a probe into, of all things, the Humane Society following their support of a Missouri ballot measure strengthening dog breeder regulations. Put another way, if Long was ready to use the long-arm of the IRS to crack down on an organization whose sole political goal is the protection of animals, what might he do to organizations devoted to civil rights or social justice?This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
