Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Wright

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Elon Musk is set to become the world's first billionaire as Space X launches its initial public offer today. A More Perfect Union explains how this sketchy IPO could destroy many people's 401(K) accounts. Heather 'Digby' Parton, columnist at Salon and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, joins to recap the week's news. Topics include the war in Iran, midterm elections and more. In the Fun Half: CNN airs a compilation showing the 39 times that Donald Trump claimed that we a deal with Iran is imminent. Trillionaires Trump is now claiming that Strait of Hormuz has been open the whole time, but we just didn't know it because it was a secret. Shhhhh don't tell the Ayatollah. Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright admits under oath that he lied when he tweeted that the U.S. had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz back in March. That kind of conflicts with Trump's claim that the strait has been open. Elissa Slotkin issues a press release stating that she believes that Michael Martin, a Trump pick for a U.S. district court, would be different from the president's other picks in that he will admit that Biden won the election in 2020 and that January 6 was an attack on the Capitol. Unfortunately for Slotkin, Martin answered those questions in the exact same fashion as all of Trump's other sycophantic nominees. Marco Rubio cites three examples of what make America so unique; our constitution, the moon landing and the UFC. We take a trip back to 2018 to watch Susan Collins on CNN promising that Bret Kavanaugh would not overturn Roe v Wade. All that and more.

Roughly 7 million barrels of daily oil and fuel shipments are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, or about half of the volumes stranded at the start of the Iran war, says US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Speaking during the Bloomberg Energy Executive Briefing in Houston on Friday morning, Wright says the US will fully reopen the waterway with or without Iran’s assistance. At the start of the war in late February, about 20 million barrels of daily shipments were stranded as the strait was effectively shut. Several million barrels were diverted to alternative ports outside the Persian Gulf, leaving about 14 million trapped, Wright says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new report from the New York Times exposes the frantic response from Donald Trump's White House to protect Trump from fallout from the revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein files and his association with the notorious sex predator. Rep. Robert Garcia talks with Jen Psaki about what the report's revelations mean for the ongoing congressional investigation. In addition to bizarrely declaring his love for inflation, Donald Trump also announced that the U.S. is taking Iranian oil. Rep. Emilia Sykes took advantage of the fact that Trump's energy secretary, Chris Wright, was testifying before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, and pressed Wright to address Trump's statements, leaving the secretary at a loss.  Democratic candidate for Senate from Maine, Graham Platner talks with Jen Psaki about leaving the past behind and the road ahead to the general election.

Don't miss this critical breakdown — Candace Owens is in Russia speaking at Putin's economic forum, and many are calling her a "useful idiot" for Kremlin propaganda. Is this a principled stand or something far more dangerous for conservative values? Watch until the end for the full picture. In this video, we dive deep into Candace Owens' controversial trip to Russia. While she's praising Moscow's "clean, beautiful, and family-friendly" streets and Christian heritage on X, experts warn that Vladimir Putin is expertly manipulating high-profile conservative voices like hers to sow division in America. From panels alongside sanctioned Russian officials to rubbing shoulders with figures like Aleksandr Dugin, this raises serious red flags for patriots who value truth over foreign influence. We also cover: Trump on nuclear dust in Iran. American coal is coming back? Tucker Carlson for president? Scott Bessent vs. the world. A.J. Dybantsa corrects Gilbert Arenas on Utah. What do YOU think? Is Candace Owens standing for truth or playing right into Putin's hands? Drop your thoughts in the comments — especially if you're a conservative concerned about foreign meddling, America First priorities, or manipulation from ANY side. Should conservatives be engaging with Russia like this, or is it time to draw a harder line?

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quinta-feira (14): O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência, Flávio Bolsonaro, convocou uma reunião de emergência da pré-campanha após reportagem do Intercept Brasil revelar negociações com o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro. Segundo a publicação, o senador teria solicitado US$ 24 milhões para financiar um filme sobre o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. O encontro ocorreu no QG da campanha em Brasília. O caso aumentou a pressão sobre a pré-candidatura. Fernando Haddad afirmou que Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva “corrigiu o rumo” ao rever a chamada taxa das blusinhas. Segundo Haddad, Lula sempre foi contrário à medida, mas acabou cedendo à pressão de governadores e parlamentares. A declaração foi feita durante evento do Direitos Já! Fórum pela Democracia, em São Paulo. O ministro disse que o presidente retomou a posição que defendia desde o início. O Partido dos Trabalhadores prepara uma ofensiva nas redes sociais contra Flávio Bolsonaro após a divulgação dos áudios envolvendo Daniel Vorcaro. Internamente, integrantes da sigla classificaram o episódio como uma “grata surpresa”. A estratégia é associar a imagem do senador a denúncias de corrupção e relembrar casos antigos, como rachadinhas e suspeitas envolvendo a Kopenhagen. O partido também incentivou militantes a ampliarem o alcance das publicações. A Polícia Federal prendeu Henrique Vorcaro durante nova fase da Operação Compliance Zero, em Belo Horizonte. A investigação apura fraudes financeiras ligadas ao Banco Master. A operação também mira aliados de Luiz Phillipi Mourão, apontado como sicário de Daniel Vorcaro. O foco agora é aprofundar apurações sobre intimidação, coerção e invasão de dispositivos informáticos. Aliados de Flávio Bolsonaro avaliam estratégias após a divulgação dos áudios envolvendo Daniel Vorcaro. Integrantes da pré-campanha classificaram o episódio como “muito ruim” e “uma infelicidade”. O principal desgaste ocorre porque o senador vinha negando qualquer relação próxima com Vorcaro. As mensagens divulgadas contradizem o discurso adotado até então. O Intercept Brasil revelou que Flávio Bolsonaro pediu dinheiro a Daniel Vorcaro para financiar o filme “Dark Horse”, sobre Jair Bolsonaro. Segundo a reportagem, Vorcaro teria pago R$ 61 milhões para a produção entre fevereiro e maio de 2025. Parte dos recursos foi enviada para um fundo nos Estados Unidos ligado a aliados de Eduardo Bolsonaro. O caso ganhou repercussão internacional. Pesquisa do instituto Gerp mostra que Flávio Bolsonaro venceria Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva em um eventual segundo turno presidencial. O levantamento foi realizado antes da divulgação dos áudios envolvendo Daniel Vorcaro. No cenário estimulado, Flávio aparece com 50% das intenções de voto, contra 43% de Lula. Outros 5% disseram não votar em nenhum dos dois candidatos. O pré-candidato ao governo de São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, comentou os áudios envolvendo Flávio Bolsonaro e Daniel Vorcaro. Haddad relembrou uma fala de 2024, quando afirmou que as investigações da Receita Federal chegariam a quem “efetivamente rouba o Brasil”. A declaração foi dada após a divulgação do caso pelo Intercept Brasil. O ministro reforçou críticas à condução financeira do grupo ligado ao senador. O secretário de Energia dos Estados Unidos, Chris Wright, afirmou que o Irã está “assustadoramente perto” de desenvolver armas nucleares. Durante audiência no Senado americano, ele disse que o país poderia enriquecer urânio suficiente para armamentos em poucas semanas. A declaração aumenta a pressão internacional sobre Teerã. O tema volta ao centro das preocupações globais de segurança. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright is charged with leading the Department of Energy through unprecedented changes. His mandate to unleash energy dominance—often through deregulation that expands the supply and types of energy available by allowing markets to function more freely—is solidifying the United States as the global leader in energy production. Secretary Wright draws inspiration from a rare mix of academic training, political acumen, and private sector entrepreneurship.Still, deregulation faces significant domestic and international headwinds, and many stakeholders want the government to play an increased role in the energy sector.

In this explosive "60 Minutes" interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulls no punches: The war with Iran achieved major victories, but the mission isn't complete. Highly enriched uranium remains, enrichment sites must be dismantled, and Iran's terrorist proxies like Hezbollah continue threatening Israel. President Trump and Israel are working in lockstep to secure real peace through strength — not the weak Obama-Biden-style appeasement that got us here. We also cover:  First batch of the UFO files have been released.  Is Hantavirus something to be concerned about?  Is the Ukraine war coming to an end? New gold-plated Trump statue.  Netanyahu makes it clear: Weakening or toppling the Iranian regime could collapse Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis for good. This is leadership that puts security first — exactly what Americans expect from strong conservative allies. Like if you stand with Israel and strong leadership!

Energy secretary Chris Wright tells NBC News the Trump administration is considering freezing the 18.4 cent per gallon federal gas tax to give relief to drivers during the Iran conflict. The move would be a punishing blow to the left's economic arrows about affordability and may actually open the door to a more significant PERMANENT change. Trump shuts down Iran's peace deal and tells Israel to back up. Anonymous says Trump is allied with Israel for reasons different than we might think.  

Kristen Welker interviews Energy Secretary Chris Wright as Americans feel the squeeze from rising gas prices amid the war with Iran. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) joins exclusively as Democrats lose ground in the redistricting fight. Gov. Wes Moore (D-Md.), Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) and philanthropist Olivia Walton join for a Common Ground conversation on maternal health.

This week on Face the Nation, global energy markets remain tied in knots by the conflict with Iran as ships in the Strait of Hormuz remain at a standstill. As the administration awaits a response to the latest U.S. offer to end the war with Iran, President Trump attended a golf tournament at his golf club in Virginia Saturday, and last week settled on a new label for the military conflict, which has persisted despite a previous declaration that the war had been "terminated". With critical energy trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz still near-frozen, gas prices continue their march toward higher, we ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright what the plan is going forward. We also hear from Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, and we have a preview of an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Then, Democrats are dealt a stinging defeat in the latest round of redistricting whiplash. We ask the vice chairman of the House Democratic caucus, California Congressman Ted Lieu, whether his party can still retake the chamber in November's elections. Plus, passengers from the Hantavirus-infected cruise ship have disembarked off the coast of Africa this morning. We get the latest from former FDA Commissioner Doctor Scott Gottlieb. Finally, on this Mother's Day weekend, we check in with Janti Soeripto, the president and CEO of Save the Children U.S., on the push to provide humanitarian assistance to children in need worldwide.

Lumea se află în pragul unei crize energetice de proporții. Este avertismentul lansat de numeroși analiști, care compară situația cu marele șoc petrolier din 1973. Între timp, unii traderi obțin mari câștiguri la bursă. Ziarul francez cu profil economic Les Echos vede în blocarea Strâmtorii Ormuz „un act de terorism economic împotriva tuturor țărilor lumii”. ”Giganții energetici trag semnalul de alarmă. Secretarul american pentru energie, Chris Wright, încearcă să liniștească publicul, spunând că criza va fi temporară. Directorii sunt mult mai puțin siguri”. Al Jazeera compară actuala situația cu șocul petrolier din 1973, când țările arabe au impus un embargou pentru susținătorii Statelor Unite și Israelului. ”În 1973, țările s-au confruntat cu o lipsă combinată de 4,5 milioane de barili de petrol pe zi, aproximativ 7% din oferta globală la acea vreme. Astăzi, este blocat transportul a peste 20 de milioane de barili de petrol pe zi - aproximativ o cincime din consumul global de petrol”. First Post notează că ”în timp ce embargoul din 1973 a vizat anumite țări, iar criza din 1979 a fost determinată de instabilitatea regională, închiderea Strâmtorii Ormuz afectează toate națiunile care depind de piețele energetice globale. Acest impact universal face ca gestionarea crizei să fie mai dificilă. Poate cel mai important, structura economiei globale s-a schimbat dramatic din anii 1970. Lanțurile de aprovizionare moderne funcționează pe principiul „just-in-time”, lăsând puțin loc pentru perturbări. Petrolul este acum un factor critic nu numai pentru transport, ci și pentru producția unei game largi de bunuri, inclusiv îngrășăminte și produse petrochimice”. Financial Times observă cum ”traderii au plasat pariuri petroliere în valoare de 580 de milioane de dolari” cu 15 minute înainte de postarea lui Donald Trump de pe rețelele de socializare privind discuțiile cu Iranul. Citeste siCum mișcă Donald Trump piețele doar prin declarații Mai multe fonduri speculative au remarcat că a fost unul dintre numeroasele exemple din ultimele luni de tranzacții mari efectuate înainte de anunțurile oficiale ale guvernului SUA. Un trader de la un fond speculativ important a declarat că aceste  tranzacții au fost neobișnuit de sincronizate. Un alt manager de portofoliu a declarat că o serie de tranzacții mari și oportune au creat un „nivel de frustrare în rândul investitorilor”. După cum relatează și CNBC ”momentul a atras atenția traderilor, în special având în vedere absența unui catalizator evident în momentul în care au avut loc” și faptul că ”s-au câștigat mulți bani doar câteva minute mai târziu”. Dar problema lui Donald Trump este că nu poate ajunge repede la dezamorsarea conflictului, scrie The Times citat de Eurotopics. „Chiar dacă va fi dusă cu succes, dezescaladarea va ridica multe semne de întrebare cu privire la ce s-a realizat prin începerea războiului. Pentru regimul iranian, va fi important din punct de vedere tactic să nu deschidă strâmtoarea până când nu se va încheia o înțelegere completă, pentru a părea victorios în fața opiniei interne și pentru a obține asigurări credibile împotriva unor noi atacuri.”

Oil settles about $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022 after Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei pledges to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent say the U.S. Navy will be helping to escort tankers out of the Gulf once military conditions are met. The U.S. government has sought to further ease prices by lifting sanctions on Russian oil already in transit. Russia's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Andrey Kelin, tells CNBC that Russia stands by Iran and that the U.S. and its allies are solely to blame for the Gulf crisis. Rate cut expectations are dampened as concerns over a prolonged conflict send the dollar and yields higher while equities fall into the red.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gavin Newsom has succeeded, and this was one of my most important podcasts. Mike Ariza, a refinery expert who has been working in the industry for decades, stopped by the Energy News Beat podcast, and what a show.Mike has been working with several key people in the state trying to get the story out there. We need federal intervention today. Not Tomorrow - Today.This is a challenge for our great Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, and our Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent. This is a problem of Venezuelan and Iranian proportions. In fact, California is such a national security crisis that I called out two days ago on the podcast "This California Crisis is just as big as the Iranian conflict," and Tim Stewart of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association said, "Stu, you are right", and today Mike also confirmed, it could bring the entire United States Republic down.1. California's Energy Crisis The transcript centers on an impending crisis involving the potential shutdown of major oil refineries in California, which could severely disrupt the state's energy and fuel supply.2. National Security & Military Implications The discussion emphasizes how refinery closures would threaten national security and military readiness, with consequences extending beyond California to the entire western United States.3. Government Policy & Regulatory Impact There's significant focus on how policies from the California Air Resources Board and Governor Newsom's administration have contributed to refinery closures and increased dependence on imported fuels.4. Geopolitical & Foreign Influence Concerns The transcript raises allegations about Chinese influence on California's energy policies and questions about transparency and potential corruption in decision-making.5. Federal Intervention & Emergency Measures Speakers call for urgent federal action, including potential invocation of the Defense Production Act, to address the crisis.6. Economic & Supply Chain Consequences The discussion explores interconnected factors including global tensions, supply chain disruptions, infrastructure limitations, and the loss of skilled refinery workers.7. Potential Economic Devastation The transcript warns of catastrophic outcomes including skyrocketing fuel prices, food shortages, and potential civil unrest if the situation isn't resolved.You can connect with Mike on X Mike Ariza@MikeAriza4531Shout out to Reese Energy Consulting https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Get your CEO on the #1 Energy Podcast in the United States: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/media/Is oil and gas right for your portfolio? https://energynewsbeat.co/invest/

The conflict in the Middle East is well into its second week, and just like rest of the world, Canadians are starting to see its impacts in our everyday lives - including at the gas station. Correspondence from the White House only seems to be making it worse, with oil prices heading in every which direction after a false claim from US Energy Minister Wright on the movement of an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. The critical passway has been effectively closed by the Iranian regime.  Host Maria Kestane speaks to John Kirton, political science professor and Director of the G7 Research Group for the University of Toronto. They discuss how Canadians can make sense of what they're seeing in the Middle East, and how much worse of a hit their pockets could take.

President Donald Trump has intensified the U.S. campaign against Iran, demanding unconditional surrender from the regime and warning that any new supreme leader will not last without American approval. The ongoing conflict has driven global oil prices surging past $100 per barrel for the first time in years, disrupting supplies through the Strait of Hormuz and causing sharp rises in U.S. gas prices, which Trump dismissed as a short-term and small price to pay for eliminating Iran's nuclear threat. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in his recent "60 Minutes" interview, defended the strategy, stating the U.S. is "on track" and "willing to go as far as we need to," including reserving the right to deploy boots on the ground if necessary, while insisting that Iran will ultimately have no choice but to surrender. He emphasized that the military is diminishing Iran's naval capabilities and confronting any external aid, such as reported Russian intelligence-sharing, strongly. Hegseth concluded by framing the operation as putting America First through decisive action to bring the enemy to its knees. WE ALSO COVER: It's official: a new ayatollah in Iran.

Die Israelies-Amerikaanse oorlog teen Iran het oliepryse die hoogte laat inskiet en dis nou die eerste keer sedert 2022 bo 100 dollar per vat. Die oorlog beteken dat minder olietenkskepe deur die Seestraat van Hormuz kan vaar, wat 'n vyfde van die wêreld se olievoorraad en groot hoeveelhede gas vervoer. Die Amerikaanse minister van Energie, Chris Wright, sê die styging kan moontlik 'n paar weke duur, maar nie maande nie:

This week on Face the Nation, as the war on Iran enters its second week, concerns about a global energy crisis are growing. U.S. and Israeli forces stepped up their bombing campaign through the weekend, targeting Iranian airports, oil depots, bases and more. President Trump promises an escalation of hostilities until Tehran offers a complete and unconditional surrender. But Iran's defiant leaders say they will never surrender, hitting back hard at U.S. facilities and allies in the region, striking oil and gas infrastructure, putting pressure on much of the world's energy supply. We speak with Energy Secretary Chris Wright about the potential for a serious global supply shock, and what it could mean for oil and gas prices in the U.S. Plus, we ask Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter how his government's objectives square with U.S. goals. And we also check in with Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. Finally, Ukraine's Ambassador Olga Stefanishyna joins us to discuss Kyiv's offer to share expertise on countering Iranian drones.

"Instead of asking what's broken, we shine a spotlight on what's already good in people's lives" - Elena Fairley, Mission Asset Fund & Crankstart Foundation In part 5 of our Highlight Episodes from our Covid-19 Special Series, we reveal the hidden fault lines cracking San Francisco's foundation — from a downtown office vacancy rate that's the highest in the nation to a business tax structure so complex that one company slashed its city bill by 88% simply by going remote.  You will learn how local governments in San Jose and San Rafael reinvented their operations overnight, how Mission Asset Fund is rebuilding financial access for undocumented immigrants through community-centered lending circles and micro-loans, and why the city's much-debated office-to-housing conversions remain largely theoretical.  We also decode the 2022 ballot propositions that put the future of affordable housing, homelessness oversight, and public libraries directly in voters' hands. KEY TAKEAWAYS / TIMESTAMPS [01:23] - Local governments forced to digitize overnight: lessons from San Jose & San Rafael. [13:04] - 72% of SF's GDP was concentrated in the downtown core — here's what happened to it. [20:01] - The tax loophole that's incentivizing companies to quietly abandon San Francisco. [28:15] - Office-to-housing conversions: why costs, developers, and city hall are all pointing in different directions. [35:10] - How lending circles are rebuilding financial lives for San Francisco's most invisible residents. GUESTS Fifteen thought leaders shape this conversation, including Joaquin Torres, San Francisco's Assessor-Recorder, who led a $92M economic development office; Jeff Bellisario of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, whose research tracks the 10 trends driving post-COVID recovery; and Jose Quinonez, CEO of Mission Asset Fund, a MacArthur Fellow pioneering financial inclusion for immigrant communities.

This week on Face the Nation, anti-ICE protests spread nationwide, and the Trump administration struggles to deal with exploding tensions around the world. Four days after an ICE agent shot and killed a protester in Minneapolis, the struggle to own the narrative of what exactly happened continues, and scrutiny over the use of force by ICE as part of the Trump administration's deportation process intensifies. We talk with Minneapolis-area Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on the latest in her home state. Then, as the deadly protests in Iran spread, are the regime's days numbered? And what's the Trump administration's red line when it comes to taking more action against Iran? Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine joins us with his assessment on what's next in the region and his effort to reign in presidential war powers. Finally, the administration tries to work with what's left of Maduro's government, even as they continue to support their now imprisoned former leader as President Trump makes plans to take advantage of Venezuela's oil and mineral rich land. We ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright about where oil talks stand. Plus, Republican Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar joins us to discuss the Venezuelan opposition's path forward and the reaction in her South Florida district.

The new year has only just begun, and already we have seen an event with massive significance for the world of energy. The US operation to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro opens a new era for a country that holds – according to some definitions – the world's largest oil reserves.So far there has been little impact on oil markets. But what are the implications going to be for energy in the months and years to come? To discuss how this volatile situation might evolve, host Ed Crooks is joined by regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, and an expert on oil earlier in her career. History never repeats itself, the saying goes, but sometimes it rhymes. Amy draws a parallel between Venezuela today, and Iraq after the US-led invasion and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. There are some similarities in the position of the two oil-rich countries, which were both dragged down by mismanagement and sanctions. But Amy argues that Venezuela's oil system is in far worse shape, with looted equipment, chronic power and fuel shortages, and damage that may not be reversible.Melissa Lott, another Energy Gang regular, also joins the show, and raises the question of what regime change in Venezuela might mean for the energy transition. Melissa is a partner at Microsoft, but appearing on the show in her usual role as an independent commentator and energy expert. Then it's on to the other places, people and technologies that are likely to make a big impact on energy this year. Ed is watching the Gulf Coast buildout of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants. It is a boom so big that Wood Mackenzie expects US LNG exports to roughly double from 2023 levels by around 2030, with more growth beyond.The gang assesses the likely consequences of surging LNG supplies: downward pressure on global gas prices, and potential financial strain for exporters. There is also the possibility that a peace deal in Ukraine could make the oversupply even worse, by allowing more Russian gas to flow west into European markets. Next up, it's people to watch in 2026. Melissa names the US energy secretary Chris Wright, and Ed picks new FERC chairman Laura Swett. As the US power grid, and its energy system more generally, face mounting challenges because of the growth in data centers needed for AI, effective policy and regulation will be critical. Amy chooses China's President Xi Jinping: the country's next five-year plan could reshape the global competition for energy dominance.On technologies to watch, battery storage is a hot topic. Melissa and Ed discuss the supply chains needed to meet growing demand, and innovative products such as Form Energy's iron-air batteries, which are being deployed in a first-ever commercial project that will be fully operational this year. Amy's choice is humanoid robots. They're expensive and still imperfect, but are they going to rule the future? They are already being trialled for repetitive factory tasks. Amy says her Roomba can't cope with a spilt bowl of cereal. But will new flexible AI-guided robots be able to do the job properly?Follow the show so you don't miss an episode this year – it's going to be a busy one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A toxic white female representative from Washington state exemplifies the lunacy and triggered do-goodery of the progressive left... which is steadily destroying the democrat party. New polling suggests taking down Maduro is another 90/10 issue, with democrats again on the losing side. Energy secretary Chris Wright explains Trump's plans for Venezuela's oil, using it as leverage to ensure the country's new government falls in line with America.
