Podcasts about Capitol Hill

A tragic accident at a cranberry bog on Cape Cod claims the life of a worker. One of the most vocal and visible supporters of Trump's "Make America Great Again Politics" is saying goodbye to Capitol Hill. Nearly five years since a pregnant woman was found dead in her Canton apartment, the former Stoughton police officer accused of killing her faces new charges. Stay in "The Loop" with WBZ NewsRadio.

VeracitySelfcare.com for up to 50% off First up, a deep-dive with guest ­- Candace Owens ­- unpacking her explosive conspiracy claims around the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Candace argues there's far more beneath the surface: she questions the official narrative, highlights odd travel-path overlaps and mysterious meetings with foreign-linked planes, and suggests some insiders believe Kirk may have been manipulated from within. = We'll give you the full scope: what she's alleging, why critics say she's being pranked (or worse), and what Candace herself says in response to being called out.  Then we'll shift gears to Capitol Hill, where several congressmen and women are publicly responding to Donald Trump's recent threats — yes, threats — aimed at lawmakers who dared tell service members they can refuse unlawful orders. The outrage is real, the stakes are high, and we've got the latest from those on the receiving end.  Finally, we turn to New York City: Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect, is heading to Washington, D.C. for a face-to-face with Trump today. The showdown has been in the making for months — ideological sparring, funding threats, and now a scheduled sit-down. We'll break down what's expected, what each side wants, and why it matters for the country. And as always: politics, power plays and what it all means for the rest of us. Tune in.

Former Congressman and Pentagon official Brad Carson discusses his organization, Americans for Responsible Innovation (ARI), which seeks to bridge the gap between immediate AI harms like and catastrophic safety risks, while bringing deep Capitol Hill expertise to the AI conversation . He argues that unlike previous innovations such as electricity or the automobile, AI has been deeply unpopular with the public from the start, creating a rare bipartisan alignment among those skeptical of its power and impacts. This creates openings for productive discussions about AI policy. Drawing on his military experience, Carson suggests that while AI will shorten the kill chain, it won't fundamentally change the human nature of warfare, and he warns against the US military's tendency to seek technical solutions to human problems . The conversation covers current policy debates, highlighting the necessity of regulating the design of models rather than just their deployment, and the importance of export controls to maintain the West's advantage in compute . Ultimately, Carson emphasizes that for AI to succeed politically, the "bounty" of this technology must be shared broadly to avoid tearing apart the social fabric Brad Carson is the founder and president of Americans for Responsible Innovation (ARI), an organization dedicated to lobbying for policy that ensures artificial intelligence benefits the public interest. A former Rhodes Scholar, Carson has had a diverse career in public service, having served as a U.S. Congressman from Oklahoma, the Undersecretary of the Army, and the acting Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness . He also served as a university president and deployed to Iraq in 2008 . Transcript Former TU President Brad Carson Pushes for Strong AI Guardrails   

Defense technology has shifted from a social liability in Silicon Valley to commanding 35-40% of venture capital allocation—up from a historical 10%. This isn't just trend-following; it reflects fundamental market dynamics as SaaS becomes hypercompetitive and AI lowers barriers to entry, pushing capital toward deep tech where moats still exist. Blacklake, a defense holdco based in Austin, helps emerging defense companies navigate government procurement and expand into Europe, Asia-Pacific, and allied markets. In this episode, Jeff Crusey, EVP of Technology & Acquisition at Blacklake, reveals the emerging defense tech playbook, explains why lobbying ROI dwarfs traditional GTM spending, and details what actually matters when hardware meets government procurement. Topics Discussed: Why VC capital is rotating from SaaS to deep tech and defense The defense tech go-to-market playbook versus enterprise SaaS mechanics SBIR grant programs as non-dilutive capital for hardware development Lobbying and appropriations as core revenue drivers, not nice-to-haves Field deployment and operator feedback as the only viable iteration strategy Investor evaluation criteria for hardware-intensive defense businesses Emerging threat vectors in Arctic defense and orbital domain awareness GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Launch lobbying concurrent with SBIR Phase 1 applications: Companies initiating lobbying and appropriations work at the moment they apply for SBIR grants hit revenue milestones materially faster than those treating government affairs as a later-stage function. This means seed-stage companies maintain Capitol Hill presence—a pattern that didn't exist five years ago. The talent profile matters: government affairs hires need proven relationships within specific congressional committees and appropriations staff. Initial engagements typically involve external lobbying advisors with established networks, transitioning in-house at Series A when contract pipeline justifies dedicated headcount. This is consistently the highest-ROI channel in defense GTM. Optimize for deployment speed over system perfection: Modern conflict operates as continuous technological adaptation where capabilities become obsolete within weeks, not years. Companies achieving persistent field presence with operators—not laboratory perfection—win iterative cycles. The tactical approach: deploy minimum viable hardware to operational environments, capture real-world performance data and failure modes, then rapidly incorporate feedback into next iterations. This contradicts traditional defense procurement assumptions about "exquisite systems" and requires founders to resist over-engineering before battlefield validation. Solve the prototype funding problem through non-dilutive capital: Defense investors require working prototypes before capital deployment due to hardware risk profiles—fundamentally different from software's low marginal cost of iteration. This creates a chicken-and-egg problem: prototypes require capital, but capital requires prototypes. The solution path combines bootstrapping to early proof-of-concept, then leveraging SBIR Phase 1 grants (tens of thousands) to reach demonstrable prototype stage. Phase 2 awards (single-digit millions) fund production validation. Strategic founders pursue direct-to-Phase-2 pathways when possible, compressing the timeline from concept to validated demand signal. Strip technical complexity from investor communications: Defense founders with deep domain expertise consistently over-index on technical sophistication during fundraising conversations, losing investor attention before reaching commercial traction narratives. VCs evaluate market timing, defensibility, and path to scale—not engineering elegance. The correction: communicate technology at middle-school comprehension levels. This isn't condescension; it's recognizing that capital allocators optimize for portfolio construction, not technical peer review. Founders often feel they're "dumbing down" their innovations, but clarity on problem-solution fit and market size matters infinitely more than technical specifications during early fundraising stages. Treat SBIR phases as progressive demand validation, not just funding: The phased SBIR structure functions as government-backed demand signaling: Phase 1 validates concept feasibility, Phase 2 confirms development viability, Phase 3 demonstrates production readiness for potential program of record status. Investors decode these phases as risk reduction milestones. Phase 1 awards indicate government interest; Phase 2 awards (especially direct-to-Phase-2 or enhanced Phase 2) signal validated customer pull; Phase 3 contracts position companies for program of record awards worth hundreds of millions annually. Beyond capital, SBIR progression provides founder-market fit evidence and customer commitment that traditional LOIs cannot match in defense contexts. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Capitol Hill Baptist Church, located just blocks away from the center of American power, has a rich 150-year history. Its members have participated in significant world events, advocated for religious freedoms, and spoken out against the moral failings of the times. There's no doubt this church has had a unique impact on evangelicalism from a significant location. But these lively characters and their unique experiences only tell part of this engaging narrative. Through real-life stories, A Light on the Hill reveals how God works through church bodies and remains faithful during times of uncertainty. Exploring themes such as pastoral ministry, faithfulness, courage, racial reconciliation, church and politics, and more, this book will help readers see the long-term effects of faithful church ministries. Ultimately they will be encouraged to invest in a local church and preserve the gospel for the next generation. I'm delighted to have the book's author, Caleb Morell on the program today. Caleb Morell (MDiv, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an assistant pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church and a doctoral student in historical theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He lives with his wife and three children on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

On this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Jeannine Walston who recounts her decades-long journey with a brain tumor, beginning with a shocking diagnosis in 1998 that led to three awake brain surgeries and a sequence of evolving treatments. She situates her story within a broader philosophy of integrative cancer care, emphasizing that true healing addresses mind, body, and spirit. Her narrative blends medical detail with lived experience, framing resilience and self-care as essential companions to clinical interventions.The conversation traces her early treatment arc: initial surgery after an MRI revealed an oligo astrocytoma, followed by cognitive rehabilitation and regular MRIs. As her tumor recurred, she navigated complex decisions and medical systems, seeking perspectives from neuro-oncologists at UCSF and Stanford while also exploring complementary approaches. This period included time in Washington, DC, work on Capitol Hill, and a deepening curiosity about nontraditional therapies that could augment standard care.Walston's treatment path advanced further in California, culminating in a third awake surgery in 2013 at UCLA and participation in innovative protocols. She describes combining radiation, oral chemotherapy, and a dendritic cell-based vaccine—personalized immunotherapy designed to marshal the immune system against the tumor. The discussion highlights promising outcomes associated with dendritic cell vaccines for aggressive brain cancers and underscores the value of multidisciplinary teams aligning evidence-based medicine with supportive practices.Parallel to the medical story runs a thread of personal growth. Walston speaks candidly about a dark period unrelated to cancer and the difficult inner work of cultivating self-love, gratitude, and resilience. She argues that sustainable well-being requires more than disease avoidance: it depends on quality sleep, nourishing diet, movement, stress reduction, and the courage to practice these habits consistently. In her view, neuroplasticity offers the scientific backbone—repeated, intentional behaviors can rewire thought patterns and support better emotional and physical health.Today, as a cancer coach, Jeannine Walston helps patients and caregivers build informed, holistic plans. She outlines practical steps: assemble a care team, evaluate options rigorously, and integrate supportive modalities like breathwork, meditation, music, and community connections. By sharing client stories and concrete tactics, she translates her experience into guidance that empowers others. The episode closes on a hopeful note—advances in treatments continue, and with integrative care, social support, and daily intentional practices, people can cultivate a life oriented toward healing and purpose alongside medical care.Jeannine Walston shares her 27-year journey with a brain tumor, including three awake surgeries and evolving treatments that shaped her philosophy of integrative care.She details moving from initial diagnosis and cognitive rehab to exploring both academic neuro-oncology (UCSF, Stanford, UCLA) and complementary therapies to support healing.A major milestone was her 2013 UCLA treatment combining radiation, oral chemotherapy, and a personalized dendritic cell vaccine aimed at amplifying immune response to the tumor.Beyond medicine, she emphasizes daily practices—sleep, nutrition, movement, stress reduction, gratitude, and self-love—as foundations for resilience and well-being.Now a cancer coach, she helps patients and caregivers build informed, holistic plans that blend evidence-based treatments with practical, compassionate support systems._____________________Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Aaron Welty: The Heroics of WeaknessAaron Welty grew up with his eyes on the stars — not just the ones overhead, but the ones in stories. Galaxies far, far away, rings of power, and caped crusaders filled his imagination. But while most kids left those adventures behind when the movie ended, Aaron carried them with him. For him, those tales weren't just entertainment — they were roadmaps pointing the way toward courage, sacrifice, and a bigger purpose.From the very start, Aaron's life has looked a bit like a hero's journey — not with blasters or superpowers, but with quiet strength and a steady resolve shaped by life's challenges.He recently shared more about that journey on the Cedarville Stories podcast, opening up about how God has worked through his weakness to create something beautiful and unexpected.Aaron was born 10 weeks early and diagnosed with cerebral palsy not long after. That alone could have written a different kind of story. But he kept going one chapter at a time: first as a student at Cedarville University, then as a staffer on Capitol Hill, and now as a speaker and author of a nearly finished trilogy of memoirs.His interest in public service took root back in the seventh grade, when a lesson on U.S. presidents sparked something inside him. Friends told him he'd make a great president someday, and instead of brushing it off, Aaron dared to believe them. That dream found real footing at Cedarville, where he studied public administration and graduated in 2005.He packed up for Washington, D.C. soon after, spending years working behind the scenes on Capitol Hill and later with the Department of Transportation. His focus? Advocating for disability inclusion and making sure workspaces welcomed everyone.“It was about affirming the dignity of work,” Aaron said. “Even if only 1% were affected, it mattered to that 1%.”But Aaron's impact isn't just in policy papers and meetings. Over the years, he's mentored high school and college students, often connecting with them through summer leadership programs. He doesn't shy away from the hard questions — in fact, he invites them. And more often than not, he draws on the stories that shaped him growing up.From Star Wars to Lord of the Rings to Marvel's sprawling universe, Aaron sees more than special effects — he sees lessons on calling, identity, and the grit it takes to keep going.“These stories aren't just for fun,” he said. “They're invitations — to think, to wrestle, to become.”Aaron knows a thing or two about wrestling. He's lived through pain and loss and disappointment. But rather than wish those things away, he's learned to see them differently.“God didn't take the pain away,” he said. “He gave me perseverance instead.”It's something he calls the “heroics of weakness” — a way of seeing suffering not as something to escape but as the place where purpose can be born. “So often, it's the thing we wish God would take away that ends up being the thing He uses most,” he said.One of the pictures Aaron clings to is from Scripture — the idea of fragile “jars of clay” carrying something far greater inside. That's how he sees his life: breakable, yes, but brimming with meaning.“You're not just here to be entertained,” he said. “You're here to engage — to become who you were meant to be.”And that's exactly what Aaron is doing. In a world chasing fame and titles, he's living something deeper — a quiet legacy of perseverance, presence, and purpose.https://share.transistor.fm/s/03c5d342https://youtu.be/Vv_OYW-paE4

Two big things are happening in Washington today, and each involves a separate controversial figure. On Capitol Hill, the House is set to vote on closely watched legislation to release the files from the investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It is far from the first time Epstein has been at the center of activity on the Hill, but President Donald Trump's U-turn to encourage Republicans to vote for the release has taken much of the drama out. At the White House, Trump will welcome Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the first time since the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns walk through what to expect, plus Trump's latest affordability pitch.

Today's show begins following a press conference during which survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse spoke out on Capitol Hill, once again calling on all related files to be released. A House vote to do just that could happen as early as today and is now expected to pass, notably with Speaker Mike Johnson's full support, not to mention President Trump's stunning flip flop on the issue.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Graham Steele, former Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the U.S. Treasury and current academic fellow at Stanford Law School, discusses the implications of cryptocurrency and blockchain on the central banking functions of government. This is the eighth episode in our 11-part series, Technology vs. Government, featuring former California State Assemblymember Lloyd Levine.About Graham Steele:Graham Steele is an Academic Fellow at Stanford Law School's Rock Center for Corporate Governance. He has extensive experience at the highest levels of financial policy, having served as the Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he was responsible for policy on banks, credit unions, insurance, fintech, and financial cybersecurity. Prior to his role at Treasury, he directed the Corporations and Society Initiative at Stanford Graduate School of Business. His formative policy experience was on Capitol Hill, where he served for nearly eight years on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, including as Chief Counsel for the Democratic Staff, working on the Dodd-Frank Act in response to the 2008 financial crisis.Interviewer:Lloyd Levine (Former California State Assemblymember, UCR School of Public Policy Senior Policy Fellow)Key Discussion Points:History Repeats Itself: Exploring how cryptocurrency echoes past eras of private money creation like the "Free Banking" and "shadow banking" eras, which often led to financial instability and government intervention.Crypto vs. Blockchain: A simple breakdown: cryptocurrency is the digital asset (like Bitcoin), while blockchain is the underlying technology that records the transactions.Public vs. Private Money: Why government-backed money (like the U.S. dollar) has inherent stability and consumer protections that private cryptocurrencies lack.Solving a Real Problem? Analyzing crypto's promise of faster, cheaper payments and greater financial inclusion against its current realities, such as high volatility and reliance on the traditional banking system.A Regulatory Wild West: The challenges of regulating a borderless, often anonymous system, including fraud, "rug pulls," and market manipulation.The Future of Crypto: Will it become a responsible financial tool, remain a niche investment, or continue to pose systemic risks?

As the U.S. House aims to vote on a bill this week to force Donald Trump's Justice Department to make the Jeffrey Epstein files public, the president is now calling for Republicans to vote in favor of the files' release.It's a noticeable change of heart that comes after Trump was named in newly released emails obtained by Congress that are reignited scrutiny of what he knew about Epstein's conduct.The dilemma continues to divide both his strongest supporters and his Republican party, and has even led to a falling-out with one of his longtime MAGA allies, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.Host Caryn Ceolin is joined by Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory University to discuss why the president's reversal, in the face of all-but-certain defeat on Capitol Hill, is still unlikely to lead to the release of the Epstein files.

This week, Mike and Laureen dive deep into the recent election of Zohran Mamdani and the immediate, alarming warnings that followed, suggesting this political shift could place New York's Jewish community in danger and on high alert. A special interview with Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, the former Consul General of Israel to Florida, Puerto Rico, Kansas, and Missouri, offers a powerful and sobering perspective on the alarming rise of antisemitism across the US and globally, underscoring the real-world violence fueled by hate. A look at the week's headlines reveals "lies of genocide" being perpetuated through resolutions in Congress; unsettling news of Hamas terrorists reportedly in tunnels on the Israeli side of the "yellow line;" a viral AI-generated image of Miss Israel during the Miss Universe competition causing controversy; and prominent Iranian leaders publicly called for mass protests and urged large military branches to oppose the government and the Supreme Leader.

The U.S. federal government began a partial shutdown starting Wednesday October 1st, and after 43 long days it finally came to end on November 12th.A resumption of funding means that many furloughed USDA employees will be getting back to work, and farmers and ranchers across the country can finally expect some forward movement on issues from biofuels to possible trade aid. To help guide us through what to expect in the coming days, we're joined by DTN Ag Policy Editor Chris Clayton, who not only followed every beat of the shutdown, but brings us up-to-date on all the news from Capitol Hill that's happened in the meantime. We'll start with an analysis about how the longest government shutdown in history came to a close, and what it could mean for key agricultural issues going forward.Then, we'll dive into the latest from the Trump administration, including controversies around trade with China, the soybean market, and prices in the beef markets. We'll also get an update on the tariff picture overall, and look ahead to what we might expect from Congress and the Administration between now and the end of the year. Finally, we'll explore the potential for a farm aid package in the coming weeks, the likelihood of reopening the Southern border, and talk about why ag trade groups are focusing on demands around biofuels right now. 

The Democrats who voted to reopen the government earlier this week have stirred up turmoil within their party, with many on the left viewing it as a betrayal for failing to extend COVID era Affordable Care Act subsidies. Republicans, meanwhile, are up in arms over a last-minute inclusion to the funding package, which would allow senators who allegedly had their phones tapped to sue the federal government for hundreds of thousands of dollars. FOX News Digital Congressional Correspondent Liz Elkind joins the Rundown to unpack the drama on Capitol Hill, and what to look out for as the government gets back to business. Later, Philip Diehl joins to discuss the future of the penny, after the mint officially ceased its production earlier this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
