Susan Collins says that she does not regret casting the deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Collins went on to say that Kavanaugh was not the deciding vote in the 6-3 ruling to overturn Roe V. Wade. The problem with that is that the vote was not 6-3, it was 5-4 and Kavanaugh was in fact the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Collins' opponent Graham Platner says that the Senator's comments are either a lie or ignorance - both of which are disqualifying. Rick Perlstein, historian and author, joins to discuss his piece published on his Substack on Alan Greenspan: "Speak Ill of the Dead - Early and Often, Please".

Each day, Stacey Jenkins watches a different set of indicators than the quarterly financial results that eventually appear on a report. Candidate applications, recruiter activity, and other throughput measures help tell the story of where AeroTech's business may be headed. Financial results are “the lagging indicator,” Jenkins tells us.That perspective reflects how she views both finance and leadership. While AeroTech remains focused on helping clients solve talent challenges and build flexible, specialized workforces, the company has steadily expanded its approach. Today, it is helping clients rethink how work gets done through workforce solutions, data insights, and new delivery models. AeroTech is also building capabilities in fully outsourced industrial services, Jenkins tells us.The common thread is a willingness to look beyond traditional definitions of the business. Jenkins says she remains proud of the organization's ability to help clients grow while helping people build their careers.The same mindset appears in her approach to capital allocation. Rather than viewing investment decisions primarily through the lens of cost, she begins with curiosity. Drawing on both operational and strategic experience, she listens carefully to business leaders, asks for supporting data, and seeks to understand the expected outcomes behind each proposal.The work does not end once funding is approved. Jenkins emphasizes the importance of measuring whether investments actually deliver the results that were anticipated. For her, resource allocation is about more than short-term spending decisions. It is about positioning the business, its people, and its clients for success over the next three, five, seven, and even ten years.

Engineering Global Socialism: Ownership, Non-Alignment, and Corporate Culture in a Bosnian Company (Indiana UP, 2026) chronicles the journey of the Bosnian global corporation Energoinvest and its workers from its Yugoslav socialist ideals through decades of dissolution, reconstruction, and post-socialist transformation. Author Anna Calori provides a company-centric window into the business history of socialist globalization during periods of national development, destruction, and rebuilding. Contrary to popular perceptions of "centralized" socialist states, Energoinvest actively shaped trade relations with the Global South, driven by a socialist corporate culture that encouraged competition as well as collective decision-making. Even after Yugoslavia's disintegration in 1992 ended its dreams of a socialist path to globalization, these core characteristics shaped Energoinvest's adaptation to capitalist transformations and made it a key player in the struggle for Bosnia's post-war economic reconstruction. Through oral histories and archival research, Calori reveals how Energoinvest's workers paired the promise of a new model of global integration with their own visions of a working world in which they set the rules of engagement—and how, upon its sale to mostly foreign owners, the marginalization and ethnic homogenization of employee shareholders mirrored changes around citizenship in Bosnia. Now, in the twenty-first century, Energoinvest offers new promises of a post-industrial future, but its often hazy parameters leave workers to rely on the memory of "what could have been" to make sense of change. Tracing the long trajectory of a Yugoslav enterprise through decades of large-scale social change, Engineering Global Socialism presents a historical and sociological moment in which workers' ideas about social and corporate enterprise offered the possibility of a more democratic path to globalization. Anna Calori is Lecturer in Contemporary Economic History at the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow. Filippo De Chirico is a Ph.D. Candidate in Energy History at Roma Tre University. His research focuses on the history of the Italian natural gas sector. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth, disinformation, and the media with Eric Schurenberg, longtime journalist and media executive, now founder of the Alliance for Trust in Media. When Eric interviewed Rob Sand last summer, his run for Iowa governor had more than a whiff of tilting at windmills. He remains the only Democrat to hold statewide elected office in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the governorship in more than 20 years and that Trump carried in 2024 by 13 points.  Sand's prospects have drastically improved. Nothing quixotic about it now. He has run a campaign that may be one of the most bi-partisan in the country, by accusing both parties as out of touch with Iowans. His Republican opponent, Zach Lahn, has vulnerabilities, including that he voted in Kansas until recently, allowing Sand's campaign to label him a carpetbagger.  Which is why we decided to encore last summer's interview. We'll hear how Sand plans to persuade Republicans to cross party lines and vote for him. We'll hear what personal qualities he thinks can bridge political divides and how, in his own life, he manages to avoid being trapped in the filter bubbles that make America's media ecosystem so toxic to civil discourse.  Imagine an election in which the deciding principle isn't 'let's choose the lesser of two evils', but rather, 'may the best man win'. What a concept.  Website - free episode transcriptswww.in-reality.fmAlliance for Trust in Mediaalliancefortrust.comProduced by Tom Platts at Sound Sapiensoundsapien.com

PLUS: We get a post-primary checkup on the Democrats' slate in Georgia from Atlanta-based strategist & Mike Collins will have a hard time beating Ossoff when he's unliked within GOP ranksNow that we're clear of the primary calendar (checks to make sure it's impossible there's any. more. run-offs) it's time to get to know some of the Democratic candidates throughout the state running for state and federal offices.Numerically, why not start in Georgia's 1st Congressional? Amanda Hollowell is the party's nominee; a well-known political strategist and the Chief of Campaigns at Color Of Change, the country's largest online racial justice organization. I got to spend a lot of time learning about her, what's shaped her mindset and how her professional background and her raising a son who chimes in with his and his friends' views makes her a sharpened candidate to flip GA 1.- - - Atlanta-based political strategist/consultant Andrew Heaton popped on a call for a post-primary check-up of the Georgia Democratic Party's November slate, and to look at what the GOP counter candidacy looks like, too. One issue that may hobble Mike Collins is that he's unlikable even among prominent conservatives in the state, and the improprieties within his campaign and Congressional office may dog him throughout the general election cycle.

Today we were pleased to be joined by Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for Governor of California, for a wide-ranging discussion on California's economic competitiveness, energy policy, affordability challenges, and the future of opportunity in the state. In our conversation, Steve shared his perspective on the policies and reforms he believes are necessary to address California's rising cost of living, high energy prices, housing affordability concerns, and broader economic challenges. He discussed his campaign proposals to reduce gasoline and electricity costs, reform the state's tax structure, streamline government, and expand housing affordability. Steve outlined his views on California's climate, energy, and regulatory policies, arguing for a more pragmatic approach focused on affordability, domestic energy production, economic growth, and reducing bureaucratic complexity. Throughout the discussion, Steve emphasized that California's long-standing strengths, including its innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurial culture, natural resources, and deep talent base, position the state for renewed growth and competitiveness. We explore the role energy policy plays in economic development, affordability, and business investment, along with the broader challenges facing one of the nation's most influential economies. We appreciate Steve for sharing his time and look forward to staying in touch as the campaign continues. Mike Bradley opened by noting that a peace agreement to end the 15-week war with Iran appears within reach, with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expected to be signed Friday that could lead to a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. While an MOU would represent an important milestone, the greater challenge will be ensuring both sides uphold their commitments. In oil markets, the prospect of a deal drove WTI down ~$8/bbl to ~$77/bbl, its lowest closing level since the first week of the conflict. Focus is now shifting to the post-war landscape, with oil strategists closely watching how quickly tanker traffic normalizes through the Strait of Hormuz and the pace at which OPEC restores supply. While traders appear increasingly bearish in the near term, Mike emphasized a more constructive intermediate-term outlook. From an energy equity standpoint, the sharp decline in oil prices has weighed on the sector, with energy equities pulling back ~4% this week, making it the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500. The energy sector has effectively round-tripped since the start of the war (down ~2%). Despite this, the forward oil curve remains supportive, with the 12-month WTI strip at ~$73/bbl (~$10/bbl higher than pre-war levels), underscoring a more constructive medium-term outlook. Energy's weighting in the S&P 500 has declined from ~3.5% (pre-war) to ~3.0%, even though recent events have reinforced the critical role of energy.  From a U.S. bond market standpoint, the 10-year bond yield (~4.45%) has drifted modestly lower this week. Consensus expects the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged at Wednesday's FOMC meeting, with attention focused on forward interest rate guidance and Chairman Warsh's tone and policy path going forward. From a broader equity market standpoint, the S&P 500 has gained ~1.0% this week, bringing it to within 1% of its all-time high. Several market leaders (Big Tech & Semis) pulled back on Tuesday and could signal an early crack in market leadership. He concluded by highlighting investor enthusiasm surrounding the recent SpaceX IPO (+20% on Day 1 and +45% since its debut), noting that the company is now the fifth-largest publicly traded company globally.

On the Science pod, we've been covering a lot of the ground on how AI is revolutionizing STEM, but one of our favorite off the record topics since our launch is which field is harder to accelerate: math, bio, or physics? Today we're back in Materials Science land with Radical — Unlike biological molecules that can be represented (and predicted!) by token strings, the success of materials involve many more macro complex variables like supply chains, microstructures, and manufacturing processes. If you recall the LK99 drama of 2023, while the basic ingredients were known, part of the confusion came from the lack of disclosure around manufacturing, and therefore defeated reproducibility. There is probably no "one-shot" model capable of designing a material that works perfectly at scale.How Radical is accelerating materials discovery >10x the pace of DARPA/GE MACHJoseph Krause is a materials scientist through and through. And after spending his career watching industries stall out waiting for better materials, he founded Radical AI to do something about it.We recently sat down with Joseph to talk about Radical AI, materials discovery, self-driving labs, and the future of AI science. Joseph did not sugar coat anything: accelerating the materials discovery pipeline is a hard problem. But it's one that he strongly believes we need to invest in, for the future of consumer products, aerospace, computing, and defense, and get them into every day use:“We count it as a discovery when you pick up your phone and there's a new material sitting inside of it.”How does Joseph plan on accelerating the rate of discovery? To understand this, it's important to understand why this is such a hard problem in the first place. The first thing to keep in mind is that the material that is manufactured is far more than a chemical formula going into it. The process of mixing, annealing, growing, or generating the final material can result in wildly different outcomes. The entire materials discovery process, both from early discovery to large scale manufacturing, needs to be understood and characterized.The Self-Driving LabThis philosophy has grown into a key insight at Radical AI: The construction of the self-driving lab. This lab is one that is not just automated, but in fact uses an “AI scientist” that combines scientific knowledge, computational techniques, and human intuition to generate and test hypotheses in an automated lab. Creating an AI scientist was key to making Radical's self-driving labs work, since Joseph argues that no single AI model can one-shot materials.“In materials, the ground truth is the material itself. You have to be able to test it and characterize it.”Joseph talked at length about the self-driving labs at Radical. Joseph argues that experimental data is the true “moat” in this industry. An SDL functions as a closed-loop system where an AI scientist generates hypotheses, and automated robotics synthesize and characterize materials, running research campaigns in parallel rather than serially. The successes here were both on the automation side and on the science side. Radical has managed to scale their alloy discovery pipeline up to producing and characterizing 1200 alloys in six months — this nearly 10x speedup over the DARPA/GE MACH program that aimed to create 500 new alloys in a year. Joseph claims they can scale this up even more and estimates they can produce a hundred new alloys tested and characterized in a day. A truly new paradigm in high-throughput alloy experimentation.On the science side, their AI scientist proposed and tested 300 new materials, ten of which were found to have novel state-of-the-art properties that are already being further developed for commercial applications. The robustness of this first materials campaign reinforces Joseph's claim that the moat is the lab and data.“It's moved into elemental families or alloy families no one has ever published on before.”Interestingly, Radical's AI scientist has made some novel discoveries, expanding into elements that just were not explored prior. This is fascinating from a scientific perspective, but it's also important for helping reduce supply chain bottlenecks for vital industries!Joseph spent a lot of time in D.C. before founding Radical, and he's clear-eyed about the competitive threat. China's centralized model lets it stand up manufacturing hubs and immediately scale new materials from lab to production. We can't replicate that, and Joseph is very clear we shouldn't try. But we do need an answer. For Joseph, that means transforming the scientific workforce, investing in self-driving lab infrastructure at the national lab level, and leaning hard into public-private partnerships.“Now imagine every scientist in the United States doing 10 times the research output. That's fundamental. That just changes the trajectory of discovery.”Before we close, we'd like to give a shout out to Joseph and Radical for publishing and open sourcing much of their internal tooling pipeline. This includes:* TorchSim (preprint, blog): an open-source PyTorch-based MD simulation framework, which has been spun off into its own non-profit.* MATRIX/MATRIX-PT (preprint, blog): An open-source dataset for benchmarking autonomous self-driving labs (MATRIX), along with with an open source model based upon this dataset (MATRIX-PT). We could talk about this extensively, but a fun data point is that improving reasoning in the area of materials also improved reasoning for biological systems! This is a truly unexpected result.Big shout-out to the Radical team for sharing their work!Materials discovery has been stuck on a 20–30 year timeline for generations. Joseph thinks that's about to change, and Radical AI is putting that thesis to the test in the lab, one sample at a time.We had a great time talking with Joseph. We hope you give it a listen!Timestamps* 0:00 Introduction to the challenges of AI in material science* 0:52 Welcome and introduction to Joseph Krause and Radical AI* 1:38 Why Radical AI is different: The focus on experimental data and Self-Driving Labs (SDLs)* 6:19 The process: Candidate generation, synthesis, and characterization* 11:05 The application of exotic alloys in extreme environments (aerospace and defense)* 13:20 Barriers to entry: The slow process of qualification and manufacturing* 16:06 Supply chain constraints in material science* 19:24 Human-in-the-loop: Training the AI using scientific intuition* 20:35 The engineering challenges of automating a laboratory* 23:17 Defining the “Self-Driving Lab”: Research campaigns vs. just automation* 24:39 Mechanical challenges: Handling high-temperature samples* 27:41 Future scaling plans and the “Vertical Integration” strategy* 30:08 Validation timelines for high-tech industries (semiconductors, aerospace)* 31:47 The active learning loop and handling “negative results”* 35:32 AI exploring elemental families beyond human bias* 39:13 Throughput targets and the difference between AI and human exploration* 43:52 Why the dataset size is less critical than the quality of experimental feedback* 46:20 Addressing the lack of an “AlphaFold” for materials* 53:49 War stories from the lab: Building the infrastructure* 58:12 The shift in industry sentiment toward SDLs and tool interfaces* 1:01:14 Geopolitical considerations and the race in material science innovation* 1:06:12 Calls to action for ML and AI engineers: Rethinking the scientific stack* 1:09:53 The Matrix model and using VLM for scientific knowledge extraction* 1:13:10 Why Radical AI is open-sourcing their work This is a public episode.

A Georgia Republican candidate deleted his entire Twitter account before entering the race, hiding thousands of tweets calling MAGA a cult, pushing vaccines, and writing that Trump "can't go down in political flames fast enough." Now he's running in a district that's 75% pro-Trump, and almost nobody knows. Is this the new playbook? Fake MAGA candidates banking on voters not doing their homework? Lance Wallnau sits down with Rob Adkerson, former Chief of Staff to Congressman Barry Loudermilk for over 11 years, who is in a runoff TODAY against Dr. John Cohen for Georgia's open congressional seat. With 17 key races across America that will determine whether Trump has the congressional support to finish his second term, Lance breaks down why this is one of the most important seats nobody's talking about. In this episode: * The deleted Twitter account, and what Dr. John Cohen didn't want Georgia voters to see * Tweets calling MAGA a cult, urging Adam Kinzinger to bring more Democrats to testify against Trump * Rob Atkinson's story: from handcuffs and addiction to Chief of Staff in the U.S. House of Representatives * The prophetic dream Rob received, and why he called Lance * 12.5 million Christians who vote presidential but skip midterms, and why they're the only group that flips these races * Why 17 districts decide Trump's legacy, and 5 of them are in Texas * Lance's warning on Iran, AI, and what happens when Trump is no longer in office Podcast Episode 2151: Georgia's Fake MAGA Candidate — And the Key Race Nobody Knows | don't miss this!
