Ben and guest co-host Ali Velshi kick off the show with a conversation about how Trump's policies are accelerating US brain drain, Tulsi Gabbard's Fox News-style overhaul of the Presidential Daily Brief, and the eyebrow-raising new press secretary at the Pentagon. They also talk about Ukraine's massive surprise drone strike on Russia and the stalemate between Putin and Zelensky. Additionally, they cover the horrific attack on Jewish demonstrators in Colorado, Israel and America's disastrous aid distribution operation in Gaza, the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, and the future of the two-state solution. Also discussed: China's advantages in the trade war, how trade wars can become real wars, and far-right politics in Poland, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Finally, Ali takes a step back to talk about being a journalist covering Trump 2.0. Ali's show Velshi airs weekends on MSNBC, and his book is Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Europe is launching programs like “Choose Europe for Science” to try and bring American scientists across the Atlantic. With less scientists coming in, and more going out, is America experiencing a "brain drain"?
After nearly 100 days of traveling the country and visiting with farmers nationwide, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins released the first set of policy proposals under her newly launched Make Agriculture Great Again Initiative. Before the announcement, she sat down with farm broadcasters in Washington D.C., including Mid-West Farm Report, and responded to questions around tariffs and staff cuts. Secretary Rollins says she's confident that American farmers will reap the benefits of the administration's plan "quickly."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we're airing an episode of NPR's daily economics podcast, The Indicator from Planet Money. It's about a group of people we know well: scientists. President Trump's federal cuts and scrutiny of academic institutions are forcing some U.S. scientists to head for the border. On today's show, an entomologist keeping America's farms safe from pests reconsiders America. And a CEO of a Canadian hospital explains how they are benefiting from the exodus.

Wir stärken uns mit zwei interessanten Pale Ales und steigen dann mit der Frage ein, wieso gerade in den 5 neuen Bundesländern der Rechtsextremismus so attraktiv und wählbar werden konnte. Ist es der Brain Drain? Sind es die Kränkungen durch den Westen und die Politik? Oder ist die Verteilung von Stadt und Provinz im Osten zu ausgeprägt, dass rechtsextremistische Parteien hier eher unterstützt werden? Und zeigt uns "der Osten" damit, was auch bald im Westen passieren wird und damit das ganze System im Kippen ist?
Hundreds of U.S.-based scientists are applying to a French university program following major federal research funding cuts in the U.S. France's new initiative promises financial support and academic freedom, prompting what some are calling a potential “brain drain.” The panel discusses the implications for American innovation, global collaboration, and the growing politicization of science funding.News SourceNPR by Alana Wise, April 18, 2025https://www.npr.org/2025/04/18/nx-s1-5368132/us-researchers-scientists-apply-french-university-programThe Non-Prophets, Episode 24.18.2 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Stephen Harder and AJ FranceAttracts U.S. Scientists After Research Cuts

I always find it amusing when officialdom is confused, and they seem confused, as to why so many of our brightest minds have bailed and gone off overseas. This is the group of top achievers at NCEA level and the ones with international qualifications. More of them than ever have left the country. Officialdom here doesn't know if they are enrolled offshore or, and here is the critical point, why they left. Fortunately, I can help. Well, at least a bit. We had one leave the country to go off and study. We have a niece currently studying offshore and we also have a nephew who left, studied and graduated last year. They were, or are, all bright and all got top marks, and here is officialdom's answer: all wanted to get the hell out of here. Studying at an overseas university has become a “thing”. In one way it is no different to the vast swathes of other New Zealanders who set records exiting in the past few years. In simple terms, the brighter you are the more prospects you have. Part of your brain power and academic success will have led you to the realisation that there is a big world out there with a lot of opportunities and you want a slice of this action. Anecdotally, as regards higher study post-secondary school, I can tell you the amount of Māori indoctrination at high school these days is not just absurd, but counter productive. I know it isn't PC to say so and I know it's not scientifically fact-based. But I know what kids tell me and even in this current generation, which is far more willing and open to this type of bilingual Māori-based approach to learning, by the time you have had five years of it, you are done. What they failed to grip when they went hell for leather, and this applies to broader life in New Zealand ranging from Māori names of Government departments to news greetings on the TV at night, is if you over-egg it, you get push back, which is where we are right now. But I think there also must be some acceptance that as a small, insular country at the bottom of the world, when times are tough the world remains shiny and brains gets you access. I would have once said that most come home. But I look at our wider family and I'm not sure that's actually true anymore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Tech editor Sharon Wrobel and archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. The setting of a 17% tariff on Israel by the US appears to be paused for the moment, as Wrobel discusses. Israel thought it could receive a reduction on the tariff, the main worry is the indirect impact and talk of a recession in Israel's tiny market and the instability and uncertainty that could cause. There are ongoing negotiations with efforts to protect Israeli companies and concerns over exposure to machinations in global markets and the value of Israeli savings. Over 8,000 tech employees have left Israel in recent months and Israel was downgraded in the global ranking of top 50 wealthiest cities as millionaires and tech workers relocated, following first the judicial overhaul and then the ongoing war and hostage situation. Wrobel discusses the biggest concern in that shift, given the high-tech sector's payment of taxes, and its effect on the state and the Israeli economy. Tercatin discusses research at the Academy of the Hebrew Language, looking at how Hebrew accents developed across different communities and millennia, and the role of cultural heritage in preserving those language differences. She also talks about a Sicilian farmer who is part of a centuries-old ritual to harvest a sweet, white sap from the bark of ash trees, a syrup known as manna. Tercatin describes the process and the substance, following an interview with the 75-year-old Sicilian farmer on the eve of the holiday of Passover, when Jews across the world commemorate the Exodus from Egypt, and when they ate manna in the desert. This conversation can also be viewed here: Please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog for more updates.

President Donald Trump's early moves have sparked fears that the United States will suffer a brain drain of scientists, researchers and scientific programs. Experts are warning that if there is a brain drain, that could hurt America's reputation as a beacon of scientific inquiry — it could even impact the US economy. POLITICO's Zack Colman breaks down what Trump is doing and the potential impacts. Plus, POLITICO reported Friday that more than 5 percent of the staff at the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management are taking voluntary severance. Learn more about your ad choices.

Story at-a-glance Recent studies show toddlers are spending 60 to 90 minutes daily on screens, primarily television, despite recommendations against screen time for children under 2 years old A 2025 Latin American study found that passive TV viewing negatively impacts language development in toddlers Early exposure to screens, particularly before age 2, consistently shows negative effects on both receptive and expressive language skills, with fast-paced content being especially harmful EMF exposure and blue light from screens disrupts cellular health and sleep cycles in toddlers, making it important to limit device exposure, especially before bedtime Parents can protect language development by creating screen-free zones, prioritizing outdoor activities, emphasizing real-world interactions and maintaining dedicated daily reading time with their toddlers

Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo dive into the growing exodus of Canadian talent to the U.S., breaking down why top founders and engineers are choosing Silicon Valley over homegrown opportunities. They discuss OpenAI's latest move to charge up to $20,000 per month for AI-powered research agents and how companies are rethinking hiring in light of these powerful tools. The conversation also covers the controversial CoreWeave IPO, highlighting its rapid $1.9B revenue surge, heavy reliance on Microsoft, and whether it signals a coming shake-up in cloud computing. On the political front, they analyze the potential for an early Canadian election, shifts in party leadership, and how economic policies—like capital gains tax hikes—are driving entrepreneurs out of the country.Canada's Tech Exodus: Why Founders Are Flocking to the U.S. (07:00)A striking rise in Canadian emigration has raised concerns about the country's ability to retain top talent. In 2024, 81,601 Canadians left the country, the highest number since 2017—half of them from Ontario.* Capital gains tax hikes pushing high-net-worth individuals and founders to relocate.* U.S. venture capital firms providing better funding opportunities for Canadian startups.* YC founder exodus: More Canadian founders are moving to the U.S. post-Y Combinator Demo Day, as confirmed by YC CEO Gary Tan.John Ruffolo's take:* Canada risks losing its top tech talent permanently if it doesn't address the capital and policy gaps driving this migration.* Founders aren't leaving out of convenience—it's about better market access, capital, and scaling opportunities.OpenAI's $20K/Month AI Agents: A Game-Changer? (18:00)OpenAI is rolling out three tiers of AI-powered assistants, capable of advanced research, software development, and business strategy—at a hefty price tag.Pricing breakdown:* $2K/month: Handles advanced knowledge worker tasks.* $10K/month: AI for software development.* $20K/month: PhD-level AI agents for deep research.Why this matters:* AI-powered coding tools like Cursor.dev have already grown to $100M ARR in 18 months.* Founders are increasingly opting for AI engineers over hiring multiple full-time developers.* This signals a shift in the labor market, potentially disrupting high-paid professional roles in tech, research, and consulting.CoreWeave's $2B Revenue IPO—Boom or Bust? (12:00)CoreWeave, a cloud computing startup that stockpiled NVIDIA GPUs early, is racing toward a high-profile IPO.Key numbers:* Revenue skyrocketed from $16M in 2022 to $1.9B in 2023.* Microsoft accounts for 62% of its revenue, sparking concerns over customer concentration.* The company holds $11B in debt, raising questions about profitability.* Founders cashed out $500M pre-IPO, raising red flags.John Ruffolo's analysis:* This looks like a high-risk, low-margin business that may struggle to justify its valuation.* Heavy debt financing and reliance on Microsoft contracts make it a shaky bet.* If public markets reject CoreWeave, it could be a warning sign for other AI and cloud IPOs.Will Canada See an April Election? (03:00)With Canada's Liberal Party leadership race heating up, rumors suggest an election could be called as early as March 16, with a vote on April 22.* The Liberals want a short election to limit Conservative fundraising advantages.* Mark Carney is positioned as the Liberal frontrunner, but he doesn't currently hold a parliamentary seat.* Coalition talks between Liberals, NDP, and the Green Party could reshape Canada's political landscape.Projected outcomes:* Conservative majority is still likely, but the margin has narrowed.* A left-wing coalition could prevent a Conservative landslide.The Bigger Picture: Where is Canada Headed?From AI disruption and talent migration to political uncertainty, this episode of Tank Talks dives into the forces reshaping Canada's future.

In this episode of One Dream, Dr. Nick and Leah Wilson examine the state of public health and the critical choices facing individuals today. Are we witnessing a "brain drain," where independent thought and informed decision-making are being suppressed? Or are we on the brink of a breakthrough that will redefine health autonomy and personal responsibility? Topics Covered: The shifting public health narrative and its implications for individuals and families The role of censorship and controlled messaging in shaping health decisions The importance of self-reliance in achieving true health and well-being Practical steps to maintain medical freedom and make informed choices This discussion challenges conventional perspectives and encourages listeners to critically assess the systems influencing public health. As more people seek alternatives to mainstream healthcare, the need for informed, intentional action has never been greater.
We're sharing our bonus show this week that is usually available only to our Patreon supporters. This week's Beyond the IF continues our sobering discussion about the rapidly deteriorating state of science funding in America. The conversation took us deeper into the real-world impacts we're already seeing - from major universities canceling all graduate admissions to a student who landed a Park Service job only to have it eliminated before she could even start. These aren't hypothetical scenarios anymore; they're happening to real people right now. We also discussed the historical precedents for what happens when countries drive out their scientific talent. From Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union's collapse, the pattern is disturbingly familiar - and often ends with those experts enriching other nations instead. For those of you wondering what you can do, we shared information about the Stand Up for Science event on March 7th and other ways to make your voice heard. Your support is more important than ever as we navigate these challenging times. If you're one of our Patreon members, we thank you for being part of this community and allowing us to have these critical conversations that many aren't willing to have.

The current US Administration's sudden gutting of science funding is creating an unprecedented crisis. Scientists are waking up to find themselves unemployed, as anonymous officials pull the plug on research programs with no warning or debate. This episode examines the immediate fallout as laboratory freezers shut down, irreplaceable samples are lost, and researchers scramble to preserve years of work. What comes next could be devastating - a potential mass exodus of scientific talent. If funding isn't restored, we face an imminent brain drain as researchers seek opportunities elsewhere, mirroring historical parallels from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union's collapse. Major universities have already canceled graduate admissions, threatening to eliminate an entire generation of future scientists. The consequences of these actions extend far beyond academia - agricultural failures, increased disease outbreaks, and environmental deterioration await a society that abandons its scientific foundations. We finish with concrete ways you can take action, from contacting your representatives to joining organized protests like the upcoming Stand Up for Science event on March 7th. We also invite you to share your own ideas and strategies for stemming this tide - whether you're in the US or watching from abroad, your voice and solutions matter in this critical moment.
