Silicon Bites Ep384 | 2026-08-17 | Trump hands Kim Jong Un the one concession he has demanded for thirty years — while Kim's shells, Kim's missiles and Kim's soldiers are killing Ukrainians. Sunday evening, Washington. Hours before eighteen thousand South Korean troops were due to begin the largest allied exercise on the Korean peninsula, the President of the United States went on social media and pulled the rug out from under them. He ordered the Pentagon to substantially reduce Ulchi Freedom Shield. He gave two reasons. The first was Seoul's refusal to join his war against Iran. The second was his personal relationship with Kim Jong Un.The first is geopolitical blackmail, that has no strategic logic to it. The second is treachery driven by his malignant narcissism – which is rapidly destroying American global influence and power and causing the order that bound the civilised world together since 1945 to unravel. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Turns out Idaho was watching. This year its legislature passed six housing bills of its own (two others failed). Republican state Sen. Ben Toews and Democratic state Rep.

Heavy bulldozers are now tearing through ecologically and historically-sensitive parts of Big Bend National Park to build unnecessary border infrastructure, while the opposition of Texans of both parties goes ignored by Donald Trump.

On Today's Show: To Support And Subscribe: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/I sat down with Montana Senator Tim Sheehy to discuss the current wildfire situation across the American West. Congress recently held a bipartisan meeting to talk about the fires burning in multiple regions, the devastation in Spokane, Washington, and the need for wildland firefighter support. I ask if this season will be a reckoning for the wildfire system, Congress, and the public, with the amount of fire currently on the ground and the tragic loss so far this year. What happens in these congressional wildfire meetings? Why does it always seem like things are delayed, or remain unchanged? What can be done to better support the boots on the ground, and will we have wildfire amnesia again once the season comes to a close? The Senator addresses all these questions, and more. As you know, Senator Sheehy didn't hold back. https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/THE HOTSHOT WAKE UP — Thank you to all of our paid subscribers.

The United States has invested heavily in biotechnology research, but supporters of a new bipartisan bill argue that innovation depends on more than scientific breakthroughs. They say measurement science and common standards are essential if new discoveries are going to move reliably from the laboratory to the marketplace. Here to discuss that effort is Congresswoman April McClain Delaney of Maryland's Sixth District.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's not very often that Congress can come together and cross party lines to get something done. But the ongoing wildfires around the country may have lit a bit of a fire under lawmakers, and now they have a rare bipartisan priority: wildfire prevention. Utah's own Senator John Curtis is now asking his colleagues to pass a bill aimed at forest management. It's being called the Fix Our Forests Act. Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux has been following this bill and joins us with more. 

The Republican-dominated Tarrant County Commissioner's Court will vote today on a proposal to eliminate almost half of the county's Election Day polling locations, with a focus on Black, Brown and student-concentrated areas. Governor Greg Abbott has called a halt to data center developments for an audit, but has taken no steps to change the loose regulations he has himself signed off on. Bipartisan resistance to data centers is mirrored in similar opposition to Flock surveillance cameras, and the new THC ban in Texas. And Joe Rogan says the quiet part out loud, characterizing the Texas GOP as "predators".KERA Dallas: https://www.keranews.org/news/2026-08-03/tarrant-county-voting-potential-closuresLone Star Left: https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/ohares-not-done-yet?open=falseDallas Morning News: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/energy/article/abbott-data-center-audit-texas-22372503.phpTexas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/08/03/texas-flock-cameras-law-enforcement-license-plate-readers/Houston Public Media: https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/election-2026/2026/08/03/558506/thc-ban-texas-senate-race-talarico-paxton/Texas Public Radio: https://www.tpr.org/government-politics/2026-08-03/texas-delta-8-ban-creates-legal-risks-and-confusion-for-hemp-usersSan Antonio Current: https://www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-news/joe-rogan-begs-texas-not-to-turn-blue/This election year, you can support the real free press by investing in pro-democracy, pro-justice, pro-gressive storytelling.

U.S. foreign aid advocacy groups are soul-searching in the wake of the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development and deep cuts to U.S. foreign assistance. Bipartisan support for U.S. aid programs crumbled quickly in the face of Elon Musk's attack on the agency via the Department of Government Efficiency, and USAID's legacy is now viewed through a starkly polarized political lens. In the aftermath of that collapse, advocacy organizations are trying to regain their footing — including by hiring conservative political veterans into key roles. Jim Richardson, a longtime congressional staffer and former aide to Mike Pompeo, coordinated one of the largest reorganization efforts in USAID's history during Trump's first term. He recently joined the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition — one of the most influential “soft power” advocacy groups in Washington, D.C. — as national outreach director. He joined the Theory of Change podcast to discuss the future of U.S. development advocacy — and what it will take to rebuild support for aid programs. "We have to really go back to the basics,” he said. “Where does the U.S. government have a comparative advantage? What does the power of international assistance do? What can it do?”

Why is housing so expensive, and why does it take years to build new homes in communities that desperately need them?In this episode of ChangeMakers, Katie Goar speaks with Laura Foote, founder and executive director of YIMBY Action, about America's housing shortage and the political choices that continue to limit housing production.Laura explains how restrictive zoning, lengthy permitting processes, local opposition, fees, and political pressure make it harder and more expensive to build. She also shares how the YIMBY movement is organizing residents to support new housing, influence local officials, advocate for policy changes, and hold cities accountable.The conversation explores how housing shortages affect teachers, nurses, small businesses, older adults, young families, and anyone who can't afford to live near their job or community.Laura also discusses the growing bipartisan support for housing reform, the expansion of YIMBY Action's 87 local chapters, and the organization's work to unblock tens of thousands of new homes across the country.You'll learn:• Why America is millions of homes behind• How zoning and permitting increase housing costs• Why local opposition carries so much political power• How housing shortages hurt businesses and essential workers• Why housing reform has support across the political spectrum• How ordinary residents can influence housing decisions• What YIMBY Action means by “units unblocked”Learn more about YIMBY Action and how you can get involved in supporting housing production in your community.ChangeMakers with Katie Goar explores the people, policies, and ideas shaping the future of affordable housing.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:41 Laura Foote's personal housing story02:09 Why high housing costs feel like personal failure02:28 How the YIMBY movement began04:34 Why new housing is so difficult to build06:52 The community-wide effects of housing shortages07:46 How residents can change the political math08:33 Addressing common objections to new housing10:49 How communities move from NIMBY to YIMBY12:59 Why older adults and employers are joining the fight14:00 Yes in God's Backyard and other policy reforms16:11 Why the housing shortage affects everyone17:01 America's self-imposed housing crisis18:21 Bipartisan momentum for housing reform21:20 Inside YIMBY Action's 87 local chapters22:31 When YIMBY Action takes cities to court24:15 How YIMBY Action measures its impact25:00 What “units unblocked” means26:21 Why YIMBY Action focuses on new construction27:00 Turning housing expertise into political action

Idaho lawmakers are teaming up for a coordinated response to the growing rat problem in the Treasure Valley, citing health risks and costly property damage.

Barrett Gruber and Donald Brock are back for another wide-ranging conversation that covers the World Cup, political conspiracy theories, daylight saving time, military testosterone testing, the Carolina Hurricanes, and Soda City Comic Con — roughly in that order, and all with the humor you'd expect from two guys who are definitely not experts.The episode opens with a deep dive into the World Cup, where Barrett and Brock break down the Argentina vs. Spain matchup and make the case that the tournament is less a sprint and more an endurance race — teams that can maintain performance across weeks, not just matches, are the ones that go deep. The second-half performance conversation is particularly sharp, and leads naturally into a broader discussion about all-star games across hockey, baseball, and the NBA. The Carolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup victory gets its moment too.From sports, the pair pivot to politics — starting with the conspiracy theories swirling around various political figures and their health, and the broader question of what geriatric leadership means for American governance. As Brock puts it, "geriatric leadership raises important questions." The South Carolina primary and election logistics come up, followed by one of the episode's most surprisingly engaging threads: daylight saving time. Bipartisan support for a permanent time change is rare political common ground, and Barrett and Brock unpack the state-by-state dynamics, including the fascinating case of the Navajo Nation's unique time zone practices.The conversation then takes a turn into AI-generated political imagery, military testosterone testing and physical standards in leadership, and the defense budget — before landing on a preview of the upcoming Soda City Comic Con and a closing thought on why deliberation beats debate every time.Topics Covered:World Cup Argentina vs. Spain analysis and team enduranceSecond-half performance and what separates contenders from championsAll-star games: hockey, baseball, and the NBACarolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup victoryPolitical conspiracy theories and health rumors around public figuresGeriatric leadership and governance concernsSouth Carolina primary and election logisticsDaylight saving time legislation and bipartisan supportAI's impact on political imagery and perceptionState-specific time zone practices and the Navajo NationMilitary testosterone testing and physical standardsDefense budget and potential reallocationSoda City Comic Con previewDeliberation vs. debate as a civic frameworkSoda City Comic Con in Columbia, SCBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeSoda City Comic Con | InstagramSoda City Comic Con | FacebookClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Here comes the sun! Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill to officially move the country into a permanent Daylight Saving Time. Now don't make any changes to your sleep schedule just yet -- the proposal still has to pass the Senate. And even though we talk about this every six months, it stills tops of the list of issues voters care about. Greg and Holly give their thoughts on whether to keep the change, move to Standard Time, or stay on Daylight Saving Time.

Our podcast today focuses on several U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving presidential authority, birthright citizenship, and election procedures. The conversation examines competing constitutional interpretations of executive power, the structure of federal agencies, immigration and citizenship policies, absentee ballot regulations, and judicial reasoning in closely divided court decisions. It also includes extensive discussions on American politics, ideological disputes, government institutions, immigration, capitalism, communism, national identity, and public remarks made by political figures regarding America and its values. 1. Presidential Authority to Fire Officials A Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies strengthened presidential control over the executive branch by overturning or limiting previous precedent that restricted a president's ability to remove agency officials. It is characterized as a major constitutional and political victory for presidential power. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should be fully accountable to the president because they are part of the executive branch. Bipartisan commissions may become less common as a result of these decisions. 2. Commentary on Zohran Mamdani and Progressive Politics His Fourth of July remarks were anti-American and compare progressive or socialist policies to communism. Communism produces poverty and authoritarianism and contrasts "American exceptionalism" with what we characterize as Mamdani's worldview. 3. Birthright Citizenship Another major topic is the Supreme Court's handling of birthright citizenship. Children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants should not automatically receive U.S. citizenship. Current policy, an argument for restricting birthright citizenship, expresses support for either a constitutional amendment or federal legislation to change it. 4. Mail-In Ballot and Election Law Case Supreme Court case concerning absentee ballots in Mississippi. The Court upheld a law allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted afterward. The ruling will make it harder to make elections fair and argue for stricter election procedures and federal election reforms. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

President Donald Trump says he will not sign a bipartisan housing bill passed by Congress because the Senate has not passed a separate bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to vote, so the housing bill will become law without his signature at midnight tonight under the Constitution. We will talk about that and Congress returning from its holiday recess next week with Chad Pegram, Fox News Chief Congressional Correspondent (5); Calls for further investigations in the case of an ICE agent in Houston shooting and killing an undocumented immigrant and in the case of African-American teen Nolan Wells, found dead after a weekend trip with friends; New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) proposes rules to prohibit hidden fees on goods and service, what he calls junk fees; National Capital Planning Commission gives preliminary approval to President Trump's 250-foot Triumphal Arch on a traffic circle on the Virginia side of Memorial Bridge between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery; United Nations Security Council holds a meeting on Iran's nuclear program, as President Trump says U.S.-Iran peace talks can continue, but the ceasefire between the countries is no longer in effect.

Missouri Rep. Mark Alford is running for reelection in the newly redrawn 4th congressional district. He joined KCUR's Up To Date to discuss the war in Iran, the bipartisan housing bill that President Trump has refused to sign, the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling and more.

George Black, guest author, concludes with the ongoing effort to address the war's legacy, which reached a milestone in 2019 with a bipartisan gathering at Bien Hoa airbase to launch a massive cleanup project. This initiative, supported by figures like Patrick Leahy and Charles Bailey, demonstrates that aid for disabled victims should be a humanitarian rather than a political issue. The human impact is exemplified by Yen, a young woman born with severe limb distortions who overcame local superstitions and her family's initial rejection to build a life in the city. As Searcy and Bailey argue, even small amounts of resources—like providing a two-dollar red plastic stool for a disabled repairman—can transform lives. The story concludes with the personal redemptions of the two protagonists. Manus Campbell has found peace by living in Vietnam, marrying a Vietnamese woman, and following the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh while working with orphans. Chuck Searcy recently returned to Athens, Georgia, to settle his affairs after decades of service in Vietnam. While the work of the "long reckoning" remains unfinished, these individual and collective efforts have begun to heal the wounds of the past. The Long Reckoning (8)1906

Congress overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan bill aimed at lowering the cost of buying a home, and President Trump was set to sign it Wednesday. But then Trump announced he won't sign the bill until Congress passes a strict voter ID law. We discuss what to make of Trump's apparent reversal and how it affects Republicans' efforts at retaining control of Congress this November. This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, personal finance reporter Stephan Bisaha, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye.Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.Listen to every episode of the NPR Politics Podcast sponsor-free, unlock access to bonus episodes with more from the NPR Politics team, and support public media when you sign up for The NPR Politics Podcast+ at plus.npr.org/politics.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

They explore her path from a Columbia neuroscience lab to fine art cake design, and the philosophy of "cake as therapy" that shapes her studio work. Then they turn to the commission itself: how she pitched it, why she landed on the theme American Made, and how children's artwork from all fifty states and the territories became the centerpiece.  Later, Grace walks through the congressional sessions she's running on Capitol Hill, the donated ingredients sourced from local farms and historic mills, the recipe she rebuilt from the first American cookbook, and the logistics of moving a cake the size of a car.

On Tuesday, the House passed a comprehensive housing affordability bill 358–32, sending the measure to President Donald Trump to sign into law. The bill, titled the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, seeks to increase housing supply by rolling back construction regulations, expanding financing options, and restricting institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in most circumstances. The Senate voted 85–5 to pass the bill on Monday. After originally scheduling a signing ceremony today, Trump announced he would cancel the signing until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. He has not indicated that he would veto the bill.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!A conversation with Tim Urban.Why are otherwise intelligent people unable to resist falling into echo chambers, and how do some get out?

Republicans just passed the most consequential housing bill in years — and almost nobody is paying attention. Sold as a solution to housing affordability and corporate home ownership, the legislation instead expands federal housing programs, incentivizes local zoning changes, promotes higher-density development, and gives Washington unprecedented leverage over local communities. This sweeping new housing bill uses federal grant money as a "carrot and stick" to pressure local Republican politicians and developers into destroying local zoning laws. The ultimate goal? To overdevelop exurbs, suburbs, and rural areas with high-density, multifamily, and Section 8 housing and “smart cities.”  Yet, because of the idolatry of Trump, we have no men standing in the breach to fight this.  Learn more about your ad choices.
