CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol host Renato Mariotti takes a deep dive into the CFTC's inaugural Innovation Advisory Committee. Renato breaks down the viral, spicy exchange between CME Group CEO Terry Duffy and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig over event contracts and market manipulation, and introduces his own comment-letter concept "accountability arbitrage" that focuses on the enforcement gap that opens up when an AI agent authors a trading strategy. He then sits down with the committee's chair, Walt Lukken, President and CEO of the Futures Industry Association and a former acting CFTC chairman, who explains why Chairman Selig stood up the committee, how FIA is welcoming retail-first and formerly-offshore entrants while holding the line on customer protections, and why the hardest open question in the room was how to hold a machine accountable. - This episode is brought to you by RealFi, a smarter stablecoin, backed by real-world assets.

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-19-2026Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute, discusses technological advancements on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. She details the transition from traditional steam-powered catapults to modern electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), which offer superior, adjustable torque to launch both lightweight drones and heavily armed fighter jets. Additionally, Grant highlights the ship's new electromagnetic advanced weapons elevators, which double the capacity of older Nimitz-class systems and move much faster to significantly improve sortie generation rates. However, a White House executive order directing a study to reconsider steam systems threatens to disrupt these advancements. Grant warns that backtracking to older technology on carriers currently in construction, like the CVN-81, could delay delivery by up to seven years, creating dangerous operational gaps as Chinese naval threats rise in the Pacific. (1)Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center analyzes China's advancement in space and its competition with the United States. Fisher discusses China's Gandai constellation, a space debris monitoring satellite system controlled by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which tracked a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster crashing near the moon's Einstein crater from over 380,000 kilometers away. He warns that this constellation can perform dual-use military targeting for space combat and missile defense. Fisher criticizes China's lack of transparency, noting its refusal to give advance notice for earthbound ICBM tests and its intention to let expendable propulsion stages crash into the lunar surface. Finally, he highlights the rapid progress of China's LandSpace with its liquid-fueled, methane-oxygen-powered reusable Zhuque-3 rocket, predicting that ten Chinese companies will offer cheap reusable launch services within five years and directly undercut Western competitors. (2)Greg Scarlatoiu, President and CEO of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, analyzes the multifaceted security threats posed by Pyongyang. Scarlatoiu describes North Korea as a post-communist, dynastic kleptocracy and a crime family masquerading as a nation-state. Under Kim Jong-un, the regime has consolidated its intelligence and police agencies while streamlining its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Scarlatoiu explains that North Korea's war economy exploits its people's human rights and security to fund weapons, which it now exports globally to Russia and Iran. The discussion, co-hosted by Gordon Chang, highlights active military provocations along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), including recent boundary crossings. Finally, Scarlatoiu and Chang evaluate how controversial remarks by the Trump administration praising Kim Jong-un have strained trust in extended deterrence and undermined relationships within the vital US-South Korea alliance. (3)Craig Unger, investigative reporter and author, explores President Donald Trump's unstable foreign policy toward Russia and Ukraine. Unger contends that Trump behaves as a Russian appeaser whose real estate-linked advisers take marching orders from Vladimir Putin. The discussion highlights how Ukrainian-manufactured drones have successfully targeted Russian oil refineries, causing severe fuel shortages and long gas lines across Russia. While these military successes initially impressed Trump, leading him to publicly promise Patriot missiles and production technology to President Zelenskyy, Unger reveals that Trump subsequently withheld this critical support. Unger cautions that as Putin faces an existential crisis and potential military defeat, he may launch a limited incursion into Baltic states like Estonia or Poland. This would trigger NATO's Article 5, which Unger warns Trump would likely refuse to honor, thereby destroying the Western alliance. (4)Caleb Weiss of the Bridgeway Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines the evolution of African jihadist movements. Weiss details the case of Jamal Chima, a Ugandan Guantanamo Bay alumnus who transitioned from Al-Qaeda to recruiting for the Islamic State Central African Province (ISCAP) in Kampala. Weiss explains that East African court systems frequently experience "catch and release" cycles due to strict evidentiary demands for terrorism cases. The segment also addresses the kidnapping of missionary Kevin Rideout by the Islamic State Sahel Province. Weiss describes how these groups raise funds through lucrative ransoms, utilizing regional coordination hubs like the Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices to move capital globally to active cells in regions like Afghanistan. Finally, he notes that eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar has leveraged anti-jihadist operations to secure Western backing. (5)Michael Bernstam of the Hoover Institution warns of a severe global crisis in refined petroleum products, especially diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. Bernstam explains that the "crack spread"—the cost differential between crude oil and refined diesel—has reached an unprecedented historical peak of over $102 per barrel. This crisis stems from a fifty-year systemic failure, during which no major new refineries were built in the United States or Europe. Compounding this, sophisticated Ukrainian drone strikes have successfully knocked out 40% of Russia's refining capacity, forcing the major oil exporter to ban refined product exports and become an importer. Additionally, China has halted refined exports to meet its domestic demand. Bernstam warns that the resulting global diesel shortage directly threatens agricultural planting, harvesting, and regional food security, particularly for developing nations as winter approaches. (6)Peter Huessy of the Gold Institute for International Strategy critiques the Hollywood film House of Dynamite for its inaccurate depiction of US nuclear command and control. Huessy argues that the movie relies on flawed premises, such as the sudden, unexplained failure of Defense Support Program (DSP) tracking satellites and the total failure of US missile defense interceptors, to fabricate a helpless crisis scenario. He highlights that actual US missile defenses achieve 75% to 85% success in tests and up to 98% in combat scenarios like Israel's missile defense systems. Huessy strongly refutes the film's negative portrayal of military leadership as reckless warmongers and its central message that nuclear deterrence is ineffective. He asserts that the nuclear triad has successfully and perfectly preserved global peace for eighty years, keeping the country safe. (7)Simon Constable, writer for the Wall Street Journal, discusses European climate anomalies and their severe impact on global commodities. Speaking from the south of France, Constable reports temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, contributing to low water levels in the Danube, Rhine, and Po rivers. These climate constraints, alongside maritime blockades of Ukrainian ports, have driven up prices for energy, wheat, and coffee. Turning to UK politics, Constable criticizes Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to spur house-building and notes that regional politicians like Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham lack an international profile. Finally, he reviews a longevity quiz from the Wall Street Journal, which highlights that the wealthiest Americans live fourteen years longer than the poorest. He notes that Japan leads the world in centenarians, emphasizing that geographic location and financial wealth are pivotal factors in determining an individual's healthy lifespan. (8)Andrea Stricker of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines Middle Eastern nuclear proliferation and the mystery surrounding legacy materials. Stricker details a positive, US-brokered development in which the post-AssadSyrian government agreed to cooperate and turn over legacy yellowcake uranium stored at a covert facility known as Site 99. This material was intended for a North Korean-built plutonium-producing reactor at Al-Kibar, which was destroyed by Israel in 2007. Despite long-standing Syrian secrecy and the site changing hands among various factions, environmental sampling by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed undeclared, man-made uranium particles at multiple locations. Stricker also raises concerns regarding Turkey's nuclear ambitions, highlighting its civilian programs' potential military purposes and Turkey's recent attempt to secure raw uranium contracts with the military regime in Niger. (9)Joel Kotkin, senior research fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, examines California's economic and demographic challenges. Kotkin notes that California is on the verge of losing its population lead as middle-class families vote with their feet and move to states like Texas. He attributes this out-migration to exorbitant housing costs, a severe shortage of upwardly mobile middle-class jobs, and high electricity prices that hamper manufacturing and modern technology sectors like artificial intelligence. Furthermore, Kotkin highlights systemic social issues, including high teen unemployment, rising store break-ins, and a deteriorating public education system. These factors have depleted the state's middle class, leaving the tax base heavily dependent on a wealthy top one percent who can easily relocate to lower-tax states like Florida. Kotkin warns that this loss of middle-class families threatens California's future tax base and demographic vitality. (10)Corrections applied, several pending your confirmation: Bridgeway Foundation (transcribed as "Ridgeway," segment 5 — Weiss's actual affiliation), Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices (transcribed as "Al-Furkan and Al-Karr" — the standard renderings of the ISIS regional offices), LandSpace and Zhuque-3 (transcribed as "Land Space Corporation" and "Juk 3" — the Chinese firm and its rocket), Zelenskyy per house style, and "yellow cake" → yellowcake. One flag: "Gandaiconstellation" (segment 2) — I couldn't verify that name; the audio may be rendering a Chinese program name roughly, worth checking with the transcript or Fisher's notes. In segment 8, note the source describes Keir Starmer as PM and Andy Burnham as Manchester Mayor — this contradicts the recent batches where Burnham is PM. I've left it as the source has it since it's Constable's segment, but flag it if the summary tool garbled the timeline.R

Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, talks about his recent piece at Claremont’s American Mind, “A Defense of the President’s Strategy in Iran.” Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is a serious concern, with Brian Kennedy arguing that the President's strategy is focused on preventing the Islamic Republic from acquiring these capabilities, rather than regime change. He emphasizes that the President's stance is not about regime change, but rather about ensuring that Iran cannot pose a nuclear threat to the United States or its allies. He also emphasizes the role of Red China and Russia in Iran's nuclear ambitions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, shares on the importance of policing and the dangers of communism in America. The conversation starts with a nostalgic look back at classic television cop shows like Hill Street Blues and Hawaii Five-O, which highlighted the importance of law enforcement in maintaining a civil society. Seth and Brian touch on the normalization of communism in America, with Brian pointing out the alarming trend of Marxist ideology taking hold in the Democratic Party. He argues that this is a result of a lack of understanding and a failure to articulate the dangers of communism, which has led to a culture of tolerance for radical ideologies. Seth and Brian also discuss the importance of national defense and the need for a strong military to protect American interests.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women regularly hold leadership roles in stats departments at universities and in major statistical organizations, but it wasn't so long ago that women had to fight to be included. At one point, women faculty had to climb through the windows of the faculty club at Berkeley to attend meetings there; the stories of the struggles of women to be accepted in the profession aren't always visible. But one scholar is working to ensure those stories aren't forgotten. That's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Amanda Golbeck.  Amanda Golbeck is the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Public Health at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where she's also a professor of biostatistics. Golbeck's known for her work on health numeracy, demography, and human intervention trials, but she's also known for her work on statistical narrative and for the biographies she's written. In 2025, Golbeck published Florence Nightingale David: A Passionate Probabilist, Statistician, Historian, and Leader, and in 2017, Equivalence: Elizabeth L. Scott at Berkeley. In 2016, Golbeck received the Elizabeth L. Scott Award from the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies for her outstanding efforts in enhancing the status of women and minorities, fostering new leadership opportunities for women and men, promoting diversity at all levels, and advocating for a more inclusive, open, and supportive atmosphere in the statistical sciences.

250 years ago when the United States declared independence, Edward Gibbon across the ocean published the first volume of his magisterial series, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Immediately his text caused a storm of controversy. Many readers thought that Gibbon had implied that the rise of Christianity caused the fall of the western empire. But is that the real story? To answer that question, in Episode 1 of Season 6, I have as our guest Hugh Liebert. A Professor of Political Science at West Point, he earned his doctorate through the Committee on Social Thought at UChicago, and has written two books: Plutarch's Politics (2016), and Gibbon's Christianity (2022). Drawing on Gibbon's Christianity, we look at the historian's paradoxical views on religion, his early conversions to both Catholicism and Protestantism, and how he used those experiences to chronicle the early church as a disciplined new republic that overcame decadent Roman polytheism much as how the Roman Republic conquered aged empires. Along the way, we discuss Gibbon's ironic and elusive style, his larger essays and memoirs, and the love of literary glory that pervades his fascinating life and complex work.

National Potato Council CEO and Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance Co-Chair Kam Quarles joined the podcast to provide an update on the Senate Agriculture Committee's recent 10-11 vote on the Agriculture Act of 2026 -- also known as the Farm Bill. Disagreements over the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program stalled the bill's progress, pushing negotiations until after the Senate returns from a month-long Labor Day recess. Quarles explains why this pause offers lawmakers a crucial window to draft bipartisan solutions rather than shutting down the process for the year.

The drama unfolding in Los Angeles City Hall is getting juicier by the minute. This episode, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding Councilwoman Nithia Raman's removal as chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee. It's a move that's being seen as a clear case of political retaliation, but is it really? We'll explore the motivations behind this decision and what it means for the city's efforts to address its homelessness crisis. The city council's decision to split the committee into two separate groups, one focused on housing and the other on homelessness, has sparked a heated debate. Council President Marquis Harris Dawson claims it's a necessary change, but Nithia Raman sees it as a clear attempt to silence her. As the election season heats up, it's clear that this move is more than just a routine committee shake-up. We'll examine the implications of this decision and what it says about the city's priorities. The conversation also touches on the city's struggles with homelessness, with some arguing that the current approach is failing to address the root causes of the issue. We'll hear from experts and community leaders who are working to find solutions to this complex problem. It's a must-listen episode for anyone interested in the latest developments in Los Angeles politics. Join us as we break down the latest news and discuss the real issues affecting our community.

Two Colorado eviction bills came dangerously close to reshaping how rental property owners operate across the state in 2026. One would have capped evictions at 5 cases per county per month. The other would have required landlords to attach 60-to-80-page leases to every notice served. Both were defeated, but the same ideas are already being redrafted for 2027. Host Chris Lopez sits down with Vic Sulzer and Jonathan Carlson from TSM Law, and Matt La Crue and Ellie Reynolds from Purple Label Government Solutions, the bipartisan lobbying team representing the Colorado Workforce Housing Coalition at the Capitol. Together they break down how the last session played out, why 10 moderate Democrats termed out changes everything, and what a Phil Weiser governorship likely means for housing providers. The group walks through HB 1047, which would have permanently suppressed eviction records and let tenants deny prior evictions on rental applications. They also cover HB 1106, which proposed blocking eviction service during any period below 32°F, above 90°F, or with substantial snow or rain accumulation, leaving roughly 4 months a year when landlords could actually file. The conversation gets into the state’s $1.5 billion budget deficit, the migration patterns that shifted Colorado’s political makeup, why small owners (who make up roughly 50% of the market) are quietly exiting the rental pool, and what rent control could look like under a governor who has already said he’s going after corporate landlords. In This Episode We Cover: Why HB 1047 would have produced the equivalent of two Empire State Buildings of printed leases every year The 4-month window when evictions could actually be filed under HB 1106 How Colorado Poverty Law drafts and markets tenant legislation Why Colorado’s political makeup shifted after COVID migration What a supermajority in both chambers would mean for housing bills in 2027 How the Attorney General’s Office adds another layer of risk for housing providers Why joining the coalition matters more before a session than after If you own rental property in Colorado (or are thinking about it), this is one of the more important conversations you’ll hear this year.

A website created by President Donald Trump's DOGE to tally its purported cost savings contained myriad data quality issues and inaccuracies, a congressional watchdog reported Thursday. In a review of the Department of Government Efficiency's “Wall of Receipts” website, the Government Accountability Office found the group didn't use transparent methods to produce its figures, included lease terminations that predated DOGE's creation, and listed savings with unknown origins. The findings again call into question the roughly $215 billion DOGE claimed to have saved the government and adds to reporting on the deficiencies of the website's accounting. The New York Times, for example, has previously documented errors and deletions on that page. FedScoop has reported inconsistencies between officials' publicly stated savings claims and the figures included on the website. GAO concluded its report by recommending that the website prominently display the existence of the data-quality issues and limitations. “Prominently displaying data limitations would enhance the value of the Wall of Receipts by providing users with the information that they need to interpret and use the data appropriately,” the report said. According to a letter included within the report, the audit was ordered by Sens. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. Peters is the ranking member on the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Blumenthal is ranking member of its subcommittee on investigations. The report came a day after GAO released another report that revealed little available documentation of financial disclosures and completion of ethics and records management training by DOGE personnel. A House-passed bill to scrap educational requirements in federal contracting jobs cleared a key Senate panel Thursday, putting it on track for a vote before the full chamber. The Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act (H.R. 5235) advanced out of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee by a 10-0 vote. No senators commented on the legislation during the business meeting. The bill, led by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., would block federal solicitations from including any minimum education standards, unless the contracting officer provides a written justification on why the agency needs an exemption. “Washington created the paper ceiling. This bill tears it down,” Mace said in a statement. “A four-year degree should not be a government-mandated checkbox when hardworking Americans have already proven they can do the job. Demonstrated ability should open doors in this country.” The legislation passed the House in February and has been a pet project of Mace's for years.

Today, we are taking a deep dive into an intervention that almost every labor and delivery unit in North America has adopted over the last decade: Quantitative Blood Loss, or QBL. ACOG first recommended quantitative blood loss assessment in Committee Opinion Number 794, published in December 2019. This opinion recommended that every birthing facility implement a standardized, quantitative method for measuring cumulative blood loss at all deliveries, replacing visual estimation as the default approach. This built on earlier ACOG efforts, including the 2015 reVITALize initiative, which standardized obstetric data definitions and defined postpartum hemorrhage using cumulative measured blood loss thresholds (≥1,000 mL regardless of delivery route, or blood loss accompanied by signs/symptoms of hypovolemia). We've all weighed sponges, measured calibrated drapes, and run the math. But here's the million-dollar question: Does measuring blood loss accurately, on its own, actually improve outcomes for patients? The answer is YES….and NO at the same time. Listen in for details as we discuss new data (July 2026 in AJOG) on this topic. 1. White A, Burns RN, Pruszynski JE, Ravindra D, Fin KX, Montgomery T, Jestes E, Ambia AM, Anyaehie B, Duryea EL.

0:00 - The NFL HOF Game last night was...actually pretty entertaining. Credit where credit is due, man! Not what we expected from a preseason game.After that, what did Mose & Raj observe yesterday at Day 6 of training camp?15:11 - Hot Take Alert: the Denver Broncos defense is good. Their defense is built on being "rotational" as Moser calls it. They can rotate so many different dawgs in and out on different plays to keep everyone fresh. 29:45 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered. Today's edition includes: Tim HARAR, the first rabbit of training camp, riding Vic's hog, and Janet Jackson's [redacted].

The clinical elements of an EMS program are vast and complicated but essential.  What can a clinical coordinator do to help students succeed? Hosts Maia Dorsett and Hilary Gates sit down with Michael Miller, EdD, RN, NRP, Associate Director, Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the EMS Professions (CoAEMSP) and Tim "Hutch" Hutchings, EMT-P, Clinical Coordinator, Monroe Community College Paramedic Program, to unpack the sometimes invisible role of the clinical coordinator. Mike presents the CoAEMSP accreditation standards and the four core clinical coordinator responsibilities, while Hutch shares hard-won, real-world strategies for building trust with students and preceptors alike. Together they explore what separates good clinical coordination from great, why relationships matter more than spreadsheets, common barriers faced by EMS programs, and creative solutions for ensuring quality clinical placements. A must-listen for program directors, educators, and anyone coordinating clinical experiences in EMS education.Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."Mentioned in the episode:CoAEMSP INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CAAHEP 2023 STANDARDS AND GUIDELINEShttps://coaemsp.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Interpretations-of-the-2023-CAAHEP-Standards.pdfThe EMS Educator is published on the first Friday of every month!

[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through the motion to reconsider filed by Mandy's attorneys to combat the unprecedented and arguably unconstitutional $176,500 civil contempt sanction.   Mandy and Liz lay out how the process went sideways from the start: a rule to show cause with no verified petition, a hearing where her own compelled testimony was used to supply the missing foundation, and an order that cites her podcast and social media commentary as evidence against her — while conceding that speech was protected  — it's a farce. Liz Farrell adds context on the five-star hotel bills, the fees no one gets to inspect, and the one person who predicted this outcome on the day of the deposition before any proceeding began.  Let's Dive In…

John discusses the Senate Judiciary Committee postponing its scheduled vote to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. The delay occurred because Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina refused to commit to voting for Blanche and are demanding written assurances regarding a controversial Department of Justice settlement of a lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS. Trump responded by threatening to temporarily withdraw the nomination until January when both of them are out of congress. Then, John interviews Dr. Erin Stevens, an OB-GYN with the Committee to Protect Healthcare. She sheds light on the recent court ruling regarding mifepristone, emphasizing the importance of science in reproductive health care amidst the ongoing political battle over abortion access. Next, he welcomes back legal analyst and consultant Dr. Tracy Pearson for a discussion on the implications of Todd Blanche's nomination and the ongoing political theatrics surrounding Trump. They dissect the questionable fitness of Blanche for the role of Attorney General, exploring the conflicts of interest and the peculiar dynamics of a Senate that seems to operate under the shadow of Trump's influence. Tracy shares her insights on the motivations behind the actions of Senators Cornyn and Tillis, and whether their apparent courage is genuine or simply a product of political convenience. And then finally, John is joined by the extraordinary explorer and retired naval officer Victor Vescovo, who shares his remarkable experiences navigating the most extreme environments on Earth. From climbing the highest mountains to skiing at the poles and even traveling into space, Vescovo's adventures have taken him to places few have ever seen. He discusses the profound psychological shift known as the "interview effect," which he explores in his latest essay, emphasizing how descending into the ocean can alter our perspective on the planet and ourselves. John and Victor delve into the contrasts between the overview effect experienced in space and the enveloping nature of the deep ocean, highlighting the fragility of Earth and the need for greater environmental awareness. They also touch on the sobering reality of human pollution in the ocean, the emotional weight of exploring shipwrecks, and the importance of personal connection to nature in fostering conservation efforts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
