Podcasts about bureaucratic

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Eric Bott, Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, for a powerful look at the growing movement to rein in unelected bureaucrats and restore legislative authority through the REINS Act—Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny. Eric shares firsthand how this transformative reform is taking root across the country. From its early adoption in Wisconsin and Florida to new victories in Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming, and Kentucky—with more states on the way—the REINS Act is shifting power back where it belongs: to the people's elected representatives. Through stories of outrageous past regulations that crushed jobs and industries without a single vote, Eric explains how the REINS Act not only prevents future economic harm but also gives states a way to future-proof against the next crisis-driven power grab. With deep insights into the strategy behind the movement, real-world proof from states already seeing results, and an update on federal momentum, this episode is a roadmap for how smart policy—and persistent advocacy—can lead to big wins for freedom. If you're concerned about out-of-control government, economic uncertainty, or the erosion of checks and balances, this conversation is a must-hear.

Why do we instinctively add when the better answer might be less?In this episode of the Truth Works Podcast, we sit down with Leidy Klotz—behavioral scientist, engineer, and author of Subtract—to explore why subtraction is one of the most underused tools in problem-solving, design, and even life itself. From ancient architecture to modern innovation, Leidy unpacks the hidden bias that keeps us adding complexity instead of removing it.We dive into how this instinct shapes everything from personal decisions to global policy, and how changing it could transform the way we think, create, and lead.If you're addicted to doing more, building more, and thinking more—this episode might just shift your perspective forever.Topics:1. Subtraction for solutions: Using subtraction to improve outcomes, inspired by a Lego bridge.2. Default to adding: Humans add to show competence, like bowerbirds building nests.3. Bureaucratic over-addition: Excessive additions cause inefficiency, e.g., 60 sign-offs.4. Effective subtraction: Cases like Capital One task removal, PBS dropping reviews.5. Friction reduction via subtraction: Simplifying processes, e.g., Google's interview limit.6. Netflix's subtraction strategy: Spinning off DVDs to focus on streaming.7. Cutting meetings: Reducing meetings, e.g., Stanford's quarterly shift, Asana's reset.8. Subtraction challenges for juniors: Early-career struggle to subtract, need subtle work display.9. Environment shaping behavior: How environments impact competence, connection, agency.10. Reducing cognitive load: Filtering info, questioning outdated mental models.

Did you know a British cavalry captain once held the army rank of lieutenant general… and still just led a squadron? In this episode, we dive deep into the gloriously confusing world of the Napoleonic-era British Army with historian Steve Brown. From "Brevet" ranks, to gentleman volunteers who wielded muskets while hoping someone died so they could get a promotion—this is the army as you've never heard it before. We uncover forgotten garrisons, militia mysteries, and the strange story behind those regimental county titles that mostly meant nothing at all. Expect penal battalions, Greek soldiers in red coats, and dashing hussars who were all moustache and no discipline. It's the military equivalent of Monty Python meets Yes Minister—only it really happened.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – America's younger generations sense something is deeply wrong with the system. They're not mistaken. But they've been misled about the cause — and more dangerously, about the cure. They are told that capitalism is to blame for high housing prices, stagnating wages, student debt, and dwindling opportunity. In reality, they've never lived under a...

Steve Gruber speaks with Hans A. Von Spakovsky, Manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, to analyze the recent SCOTUS decision on the firing of federal workers. They unpack the Court's interpretation of administrative power, what it means for civil-service protections, and how this ruling could reshape the balance between accountability and bureaucratic independence in Washington.

John discusses the FBI investigating the home and background of Elias Rodriguez, the man arrested in the shooting death of two Israeli Embassy employees at a D.C. fundraiser. And he talks about the House pulling an all-nighter and passing the big, all-encompassing budget bill their dear leader had asked for. Then, he welcomes back New York Times bestselling author Anna Malaika Tubbs to chat about her new book "Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us" which is the story of the United States from a new perspective: one where the people who shaped this country–who have been oppressed and whose contributions have been denied–are at the center, reminding us that we can restore what has been strategically kept from us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today on Moment of Zen, we're sharing a conversation  about defense innovation bureaucracy reform recorded at this week's Hill & Valley Forum in Washington D.C.  In this session, Palantir, CTO Sha Sankar and Senator Mike Lee dissect America's defense innovation paralysis. They articulate how bureaucratic accretion stifles the necessary competition and "heretical" personalities historically driving breakthroughs. Their prescription: regulatory reset via the REINS Act, competing procurement programs, and empowering maverick leaders—essential counters to China's accelerating AI capabilities.

Gold is back in the headlines, but should it be in your portfolio? Don and Tom take a fresh (and frequently hilarious) look at the shiny metal that never seems to deliver. From Fort Knox to Costco's gold bar rush, they trace gold's lackluster long-term returns and its overhyped reputation as a hedge. They break down why physical gold fails as an investment, why GLD is better (but still meh), and why long-term investors might already have enough exposure through diversified funds.

How ironic: The most inefficient bureaucracy in government turns out to be Trump's “Department of Government Efficiency.”That could be humorous, except that DOGE—a creature of the right-wing Project 2025—has been devastating to millions of people. And it's about to get worse. Elon Musk—the flighty überrich autocrat put in charge of “efficiency” by his buddy Trump—is now going after the Social Security deposits of 73 million senior citizens.But wait, hasn't Trump himself promised (loudly and often) that he would not ax this essential retirement program? Yes… but Elon is his “gotcha.”Rather than an honest kill, Musk is strangling the program with (believe it or not) bureaucratic red tape. Claiming to cutting waste, he's eliminating 7,000 people who administer the program, shouting, “Bureaucratic excess!” Except, Social Security is actually a renowned model of government efficiency, spending less than 1 percent of its revenue on administration.So by whacking the people who do the work, Musk is actually whacking the people who're due to receive their earned benefits. For example, he's decreed that the public no longer apply for benefits or resolve questions by phone, but now, must now travel in person to some distant Social Security office. But the staff there has also been decimated, so people who've come from afar are told to go back home and call for an appointment. Yes… a call that will not be answered.This is Jim Hightower saying… What's at work here is a Musk-Trump ploy to wreck Social Security's remarkable record of efficiency. Their intent is to make the service so bad that they can then let profiteering corporations can privatize your retirement.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In this eye-opening episode (part 1/2), Host Michael Barnard invites Simon Todd, Managing Director of Causeway Energies and a man whose geological expertise spans from the chalk beds of Northern Ireland to the drilling decks of BP. Simon joins the podcast to drag geothermal energy out of its misunderstood niche and into the spotlight it deserves.Simon, who spent 25 years at BP before pivoting hard into the future, lays out a vision for geothermal that's far more than volcanic spas and Icelandic outliers. He starts by grounding us (literally) in the Earth's temperature dynamics: from a molten 6,000°C core to the relatively tame gradients of continental crust. We learn that geothermal isn't just a matter of poking around tectonic hotspots. With modern drilling and clever thermal engineering, you can tap heat just about anywhere—even in the soggy, non-volcanic soils of the UK and Ireland.He gets into the mechanics too, explaining how ground source heat pumps use the shallow earth—those top 10–15 meters that swing with the seasons—to store and retrieve heat. He unpacks the performance metric du jour, the Coefficient of Performance (COP), and shows how deeper wells (500 to 700 meters) vastly outperform air-source systems. The returns? In some projects, a sub-3-year payback. That's not a climate virtue signal—that's a boardroom greenlight.But Simon doesn't stop at closed-loop systems. He dives into the real geothermal opportunity hiding beneath our feet: open-loop aquifer systems. These draw warm water from permeable rock formations—‘rock sponges,' as he puts it—offering faster heat transfer than passive conduction. And yet, while ATES systems thrive across the Netherlands and Belgium, they're barely used in the UK or Ireland. Why? Bureaucratic inertia, unfamiliarity, and maybe just a lack of storytelling.With directional drilling tech now able to reach aquifers from a single pad, and real-time data steering drill heads with pinpoint accuracy, Simon argues we have the tools and the data. What's missing is awareness—and maybe a bit of ambition.This episode is a geothermal masterclass from someone who's lived both the legacy fossil past and the clean energy future. If you're still thinking geothermal is just for hot springs and sci-fi, Simon Todd is here to prove otherwise—with numbers, with tech, and with real-world results.Follow the show for more episodes like this one, where energy myths get debunked, and the future gets explained.

President Trump attended the board meeting at the Kennedy Center yesterday. As Chairman of the board, President Trump has plans to invest and reinvigorate the Kennedy Center while bringing in big broadway hits to the nation's capital. Chuck Schumer's book is not a hit, ranking at #1,237 on Amazon's list. Chuck canceled his book tour for security concerns because he voted with Republicans on a stop-gap bill to keep the government funded. Washington D.C. District Judge James Boasberg is fighting to keep violent, dangerous, illegal immigrants, some from the dangerous gang Tren de Aragua in the country. Last week on the show, Steve Bannon correctly called out that these radical leftists federal judges would start to do this kind of stuff to oppose President Trump. 80,000 pages of the JFK files are expected to be released today, will there be a bombshell? Chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr joins me today to give us a full update on how quickly things are moving now that President Trump is in office. The FCC is on a mission to remove years of Washingtonian bureaucratic red tape that bogs down the FCC with unnecessary regulations. President Trump wants a 10 to 1 when it comes to regulatory bodies. For every one regulation, 10 unnecessary ones should be removed. Without being bogged down by webs of regulations, Brendan looks forward to unleashing economic opportunity around the country and for the U.S. to lead the way in the next generation of technologies.

China's breathtaking economic development has been driven by bureaucrats. Even as the country transitioned away from socialist planning toward a market economy, the economic bureaucracy retained a striking degree of influence and control over crafting and implementing policy. Yet bureaucrats are often dismissed as faceless and inconsequential, their role neglected in favor of party leaders' top-down rule or bottom-up initiatives.< Markets with Bureaucratic Characteristics (Columbia UP, 2024) offers a new account of economic policy making in China over the past four decades that reveals how bureaucrats have spurred large-scale transformations from within. Yingyao Wang demonstrates how competition among bureaucrats motivated by careerism has led to the emergence of new policy approaches. Second-tier economic bureaucrats instituted distinctive―and often conflicting―“policy paradigms” aimed at securing their standing and rewriting China's long-term development plans for their own benefit. Emerging from the middle levels of the bureaucracy, these policy paradigms ultimately reorganized the Chinese economy and reshaped state-market relations. Drawing on fine-grained biographical and interview data, Wang traces how officials coalesced around shared career trajectories, generational experiences, and social networks to create new alliances and rivalries. Shedding new light on the making and trajectory of China's ambitious economic reforms, this book also provides keen sociological insight into the relations among bureaucracy, states, and markets.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to reports, President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order that would effectively dismantle the Department of Education. On Tuesday, the department announced it was eliminating 1,950 staff positions. While speaking to the press at the White House, President Trump cited the country's education failures—noting the U.S. spends more per student than any country, but test scores in math, reading, and writing remain concerningly low. He emphatically stated: “We're going to move education into the states, so that states—instead of bureaucrats working in Washington—can run education.” 3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, Sec.

For the last five years, the Political Right has been debating over a program for regime change in America: should populism be used to construct a new elite class? Should a new administration retire all government employees? Can the bureaucratic state be maintained but filled with new conservative staff? In this podcast, Alex Denley and Dr. Andrew Willard Jones discuss subsidiarity as the solution to this debate, and how it provides a program for genuine regime change.

Trump Admin Demolishing Deep State Systems In Realtime As DOGE Uncovers Massive Criminal Bureaucratic Network Operating A Parallel Government! Plus, White House Privately Advises Zelensky To FLEE To France Before His Own Military Kills Him

CannCon and GhostofBPH break down the latest geopolitical shockwaves as Trump and Putin move forward with Ukraine peace talks...without Zelensky or NATO at the table. European leaders are scrambling, while Ukraine is losing its leverage faster than its foreign aid. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is emerging as the new power broker, now mediating not only Trump's Ukraine deal but also nuclear negotiations with Iran and a post-war Gaza plan. The global order is shifting, and the neocons are panicking. Back in D.C., Elon Musk's DOGE operation is outpacing the courts, with bureaucrats being forced out so fast that Democrats can't even figure out how to stop it. USAID officials and senior government executives are resigning in droves rather than face audits, and some of them are already running to the media, hoping for sympathy before their corruption gets exposed. Meanwhile, a mysterious gold transfer from London to New York is raising fresh questions about what's really in Fort Knox and whether a financial reset is quietly in the works. The swamp is scrambling, the courts are cornered, and Trump is moving faster than they ever expected.

Jon Herold breaks down Trump's latest power move, reciprocal tariffs, which just sent the global economy into a tailspin. For decades, the U.S. let foreign nations slap massive tariffs on American goods while we gave them a free pass. Not anymore. Trump's new policy means if they tax us, we tax them right back, and European leaders are already melting down. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's DOGE team has entered the IRS, and federal agencies are scrambling to hide years of financial waste and corruption. With the government firing spree in full swing, deep state employees are frantically googling “offshore bank accounts” and “Swiss citizenship,” hoping to get out before Trump and Musk find out what they've been up to. On the world stage, Trump just proposed a historic peace summit with Putin and Xi, where he plans to cut global military spending in half. The military-industrial complex is not happy, but Trump doesn't care. As the deep state's money dries up and the bureaucrats panic, The Daily Herold is here to cover every moment.

This week: The Spectator launches SPAFF The civil service does one thing right, writes The Spectator's data editor Michael Simmons: spaffing money away. The advent of Elon Musk's DOGE in the US has inspired The Spectator to launch our own war on wasteful spending – the Spectator Project Against Frivolous Funding, or SPAFF. Examples of waste range from the comic to the tragic. The Department for Work and Pensions, Michael writes, ‘bought one Universal Credit claimant a £1,500 e-bike after he persuaded his MP it would help him find self-employment'. There's money for a group trying to ‘decolonise' pole dancing; for a ‘socially engaged' practitioner to make a film about someone else getting an MBE; and for subscriptions to LinkedIn. Lord Agnew, who used to hold the ‘Pythonesque' title of ‘minister of state for efficiency and transformation', backs The Spectator's new SPAFF campaign and says total reform is the only option. Michael and Theo joined the podcast to discuss. (1:04) Next: is surrogacy a blessing or a sham? Debates about surrogacy have raged again following the announcement that the actress Lily Collins has had a baby via surrogate. Mary Wakefield says that there is a ‘sadness' behind surrogacy, and that babies could be affected by being separated from their birth mother. Surrogacy is illegal in many countries, such as Spain and Italy, and Mary worries about potential legal changes that would make it easier to pursue here in the UK. So, is surrogacy a lifeline for many couples looking to conceive, or is it a practice that we should be more concerned about? Mary joined the podcast to discuss alongside Sunshine Hanson. Sunshine is the president and co-founder of the US-based surrogacy agency Sunshine Is, and has also been a gestational surrogate three times. (16:26) And finally: is smoking sexy again? Flora Watkins revels at the news that Generation Z are shedding their vapes and taking up ‘real' smoking, saying that everyone looks ‘hotter with a fag in their mouth'. Disregarding familial disapproval, Flora says that smoking makes her feel cool, young and attractive. Does this mean that smoking is sexy again? And why is smoking proving more popular with younger generations? It appears that the proposed smoking ban, proposed by both the Conservatives and now Labour, is having the opposite effect. Flora joined the podcast - with a cigarette in hand - to discuss, alongside the writer Zak Asgard. (29:35)  Presented by Lara Prendergast and William Moore. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

The bureaucratic deep state is toppling.

Case in point, even though President Trump has ordered a freeze on all monies coming out of USAID, officials there still approved over $6 million dollars in contracts just this past Friday, much of this under the guise of miscellaneous expenditures.” “USAID has been at the forefront of carrying out CIA operations like the Maidan revolution in Kiev back in 2014 when the US government overthrew a democratically elected but relatively pro-Russian government in Ukraine and thus began the series of events that led to this horrific war.” Timestamps: [01:02 Elon Musk putting USAID into the wood chipper [02:21] How USAID is used for money laundering and covert operations [08:54] USAID as a front for CIA operations [11:52] Elon Musk and President Trump putting an end to corrupt government agencies -- Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode.  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and/or leave a review.

Episode 4170: The Bureaucratic Succession; "Seizing The Institutions

In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank sits down with Wisconsin brewery owner Will Glass, whose journey to open a brewery took him through a bureaucratic nightmare. From navigating federal and state laws to being told he might need to divorce his wife and disown his children to move forward, Will's story is an incredible tale of perseverance against government overreach. Thanks to the support of Americans for Prosperity, Will was able to challenge the laws and help change the landscape for future entrepreneurs. Now, his successful Brewing Project isn't just a testament to his dream but also a beacon of hope for others navigating business red tape. Join us for this eye-opening episode about what it takes to fight for freedom and opportunity in today's regulatory landscape.
