EPISODE 142 | Project 2025: The First 180 Days (World Is Weird 15) Donald Trump said he didn't really know much about Project 2025 except that they sure liked him. And yet, of 313 specific Project 2025 initiatives, he's already enacted 108 of them, and another 63 are actively in the works as of this recording. Quite a coincidence, wouldn't you say? Project 2025 put a lot of importance of a sort of blitzkrieg if their boy won the 2024 election, a flurry of activity to define the first 180 days of his presidency and hopefully create so much change that, no matter what happens in future elections (if there are any) many of the changes they want to see happen will end up sticking around. That benchmark date was July 19.  So, let's look at Project 2025. What they say, and some of their own justifications for why they say it. And we'll also see just how much Trump has actively assisted them in realizing their vision for a very different America than the world has ever seen.  Like what we do?

Earlier this month, Congress approved President Trump's request to strip away the next two years of funds previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. As a result, our local public television station and about 1,500 others — along with the national PBS and NPR networks — will no longer receive federal funding starting in October. This week, we invited two local opinion columnists to continue a debate that has been heard in Washington D.C. for years: Should taxpayer dollars fund public broadcasting? Since our funding is caught up in this debate, we put up several firewalls to avoid a conflict of interest.

And, when a 3rd party pays, they have a lot of expectations.Let's talk through the pro's and con's of corporate paid clients so you can make an informed decision about your business model.I'd love to hear from you.

Small public radio stations around Massachusetts are working to find new revenue after the loss of millions in federal funding. Congress voted earlier this month to cut 1.1 billion dollars in money allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

While Boston's two NPR affiliates — GBH and WBUR — get the most money, a half dozen smaller stations also rely on Corporation for Public Broadcasting grants for their music and local affairs programming.

Gaza's health ministry says dozens of Palestinians have died from hunger in recent weeks, due to a lack of food aid. In response, Israel says it is allowing a limited amount of airdrops and will give access to the UN to deliver more. The airdrops come as international outrage from governments and aid agencies over the humanitarian situation in Gaza grows.Also: The U.S. President is taking a working vacation to Scotland this weekend. On Sunday, he will meet the head of the European Commission - as they try to inch closer to a trade deal between the U-S and the E-U.And: Across Canada and the United States, when there is a crisis like a flood or a wildfire, public radio can be a lifeline. But in the U.S., the Trump administration is clawing back more than one-billion dollars already committed to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. You'll hear what those cuts could mean for the rural and Indigenous communities that rely on public radio stations. Plus: Insurance costs for the Jasper wildfire, Typhoon in the Philippines, Alberta's taxes on B.C. wine, and more.

Big bank earnings give a cautious green light on the economy Every quarter we get excited about listening to and reading about how things went for the big banks in the most recent quarter as they release their earnings. I'm primarily talking about JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. We have held a couple large banks in our portfolio for years and they have provided very useful information along with great returns as well. Overall, the big banks were happy with the low rates of consumer delinquencies and writing off debt that was unrecoverable stayed around the same rate as last year. One banker made a comment that with a 4.1% unemployment rate it's not likely to see a lot of weakness in their portfolio. This is something we have said for quite a while now, but we believe as long as the employment picture stays strong, the economy should do well. Deal making for the banks looked pretty good across the board and all of them had profit increases compared to one year ago. The overall tone from the bankers was largely upbeat, but a couple banks did call out some concern around commercial real estate and office buildings. There are certain cities with economies that are doing well, but there are other areas that are more problematic and the banks generally have commercial real estate in many markets across the country. To summarize, it appears the bankers feel pretty good, but they still remain somewhat cautious as bankers always should.   Understanding new legislation on cryptocurrencies Last week new legislation on cryptocurrencies was announced as the Genius Act, which stands for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US stable coins, made its way through Congress and to the President's desk. The legislation is supposed to provide licensing and oversight for stable coins as issuers must obtain licenses through either a national trust bank charter with the OCC, which stands for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or a state level money transmission license. The Genius Act is supposed to provide consumer protection in the case of the issuer of a stable coin becoming insolvent. The solution in the Genius Act is to prioritize stable coin holder claims so the holders of those coins should be able to get their money back. This is nowhere near the safety one has in a bank where your deposits are insured by the FDIC should that bank fold. I feel this law will give people a false sense of security and I don't believe it will prevent a major collapse of stable coins. There's also a conflict of interest from President Trump‘s promotion of digital currencies since he himself has a coin and his sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump run a bitcoin mining firm called American Bitcoin and are heavily involved in the crypto space. I believe the whole thing is just adding to the bubble of cryptocurrencies. Keep in mind that a bubble can last 10 to 12 years, if not longer, but the bigger it gets the bigger the financial disaster it causes.   What is better for investors stock dividends or stock buybacks? Unfortunately, there's no hard and fast rule based on performance figures in terms of what is better for stock investors, but I would have to lean towards stock dividends. If you look at the right companies paying dividends over a 10-year period you can find that perhaps the company you invested in is now giving you a yield of maybe 7-8% based on your initial investment. Those dividends can be a really great tool for long-term investing and while companies could always stop the dividend, most companies that have paid a dividend for the long-term do not like to stop or even reduce paying that dividend. This can help stabilize returns during downturns and may help investors be less emotional. A problem with stock buybacks is they can be announced and the stock may see a little bounce, but then it's possible that management does not fulfill the commitment to buy back all the shares they had planned to. Also, if the company or the markets were to hit a rough patch many times the first thing to go is stock buybacks. It is also possible that the company could do a stock buyback, but within a year or two the stock might drop below the price where the repurchases occurred, which would make those investments a questionable use of capital. Benefits to stock buybacks include the fact that there's no taxes for shareholders when they occur and they do increase your ownership of that business. While dividends are generally taxed, they are tax favored and depending on one's tax bracket you may pay very little or no tax at all. And don't forget about the compounding effect of reinvesting those dividends back into another investment. Unfortunately, it has become harder to find good quality companies paying dividends for a reasonable price. Looking at the S&P 500 index, the yield is now only 1.2%, which is near the all-time low that was hit during the dot-com bubble. Over the long-term history of the S&P 500, it's yield is generally around the 10-year Treasury and I was surprised to learn that up until the 1960's, the S&P 500 actually generally yielded more than the 10-year Treasury. Even looking just 10 years ago they were both yielding around 2%, but currently the spread between the two is about 3%. This comes as the S&P 500 has seen its forward P/E based on the next 12 months of earnings expand from 17 to around 22 during that time frame. Could this be another warning sign that the S&P 500 index is overvalued?   Financial Planning: New Tax Rules for Tips and Overtime Starting in tax year 2025 and through 2028, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act exempts up to $25,000 in tip income and up to $12,500 in qualifying overtime pay per individual from federal income tax—doubling to $50,000 and $25,000 respectively for married couples filing jointly. The tip exemption applies only to workers in occupations where tips are customary and must be properly reported through W-2s. The overtime deduction applies only to the premium portion of overtime wages—i.e., the extra pay above an employee's standard hourly rate—and must be paid in accordance with Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), meaning it only covers overtime worked in excess of 40 hours per week under federal rules. Overtime paid under state laws or union contracts does not qualify unless it also meets the FLSA criteria. The full exemption is available to taxpayers with modified adjusted gross incomes up to $150,000 (single) or $300,000 (married filing jointly) and begins to phase out above those levels. To claim the exemption, workers must file a new IRS Form 10324-T with their annual tax return. Keep in mind Social Security, Medicare, and state taxes still apply to the tip and overtime pay. The policy begins with wages and tips earned on or after January 1, 2025, with claims first filed on 2025 tax returns in 2026.   Companies Discussed: Union Pacific Corporation (UNP), Toast, Inc. (TOST), American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) & Abbot Laboratories (ABT)

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm excited to introduce you to my guest, Nidhi Oberoi. Nidhi is a seasoned MedTech executive dedicated to the mission of serving clinicians and patients. With over 17 years of experience working on commercialization of innovative technologies, She has led various strategic and operational initiatives that have transformed standard of care. Her bold, collaborative, and empathetic leadership style allows her to push boundaries and inspire teams to create durable value. She currently leads business initiatives for the structural heart business in Medtronic, which serves patients with heart valve disease. She's also an advocate for evidence based care for women's health. Nidhi has an undergraduate degree in economics from India and an MBA in marketing and entrepreneurship from Syracuse University. Thank you so much for being here, Nidhi, I'm so excited to speak with you. [00:01:44] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, thanks for having me. [00:01:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I would love, if you don't mind just starting off by sharing a little bit about yourself and your background and what led you to MedTech. [00:01:56] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, absolutely. I was born and raised in India, and just like any typical Asian Indian household in those days, if you were a bright student, you were generally expected to pursue a track in sciences, medicine or engineering, or maybe a second option in accounting and finance. Predictably, after I completed my high school, I was on my path to pursue a career in sciences. But then I changed courses and ended up pursuing an undergraduate degree in economics, and eventually an MBA in marketing and entrepreneurship from upstate New York. Now, as I reflect back and realize that what attracted me to business eventually, it was this realization that it's both in art and a science. The science aspect helps to ensure that the business can financially run smoothly with a strong P&L, while the art side of the business is the ability to set the vision, the direction, inspiring people, innovating, connecting with people. So what I really was interested was in a career in marketing and general management. You asked me what led me to medtech, I'd say my entry into the healthcare industry was by chance. I got recruited into this industry through a summer internship when I was doing my MBA with a company called Conva Tech, which was part of Bristol Myers Squibb then. And by the time I had completed my internship, I already knew I wanted to be in the healthcare industry given the impact you have on the patient's lives. I did have opportunities to interview with other companies like Philip Morris and others, and I just decided that this is what I wanted to do. And after I graduated, I started working for a company called Covidian, which was then a spinoff from TCO International. And Covidian was eventually acquired by Medtronic. It's been 16, 17 years since I've been working for this company and it has a really strong mission of elevating pain, restoring health, and extending life of patients around the world. So that's that's my story there. [00:04:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing that. I'm curious. Of course your career trajectory has been really interesting and you've had a lot of different experiences along the way. So what are some of the key things that say maybe your schooling or your early career really set you up for success for what you're doing now? [00:04:29] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, so there's just so many different experiences that either have shaped my interest, where I wanna go, or has shaped my leadership style. Now, as I mentioned, I decided to move away from sciences to a more kind of social sciences field, economics and then business, and that was due to the fact that I was not the person who could just crunch numbers sitting on the table. I liked connecting with people. So I think some of those personality traits helped me decide what I wanted to do. And I would say one of my core value is impact, purpose. And so healthcare, it was just natural for me to gravitate towards healthcare because you are truly impacting people with different technologies. And I'd also say, as I grew further along in my career, early on when I joined Covidian, I had some great leaders who gave me a lot of ownership, and that shaped my leadership style as well. And that's how I operate. I empower my teams. I coach them along, but give them a lot of accountability. So there's so many different experiences, but these are some of the experiences that come to mind as. As as I reflect back now what that has shaped my career and also my leadership style. [00:05:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. And speaking maybe more into your leadership style, I'm really curious if you could tell us a little bit more about that philosophy of yours. I love that ownership mentality. It sounds very counter to what a lot of folks don't appreciate, and that's micromanagement. And so I'm curious, how do you bridge the gap yourself as a leader between making sure that, your team stays on track and the goals and really key, important performance indicators are met, while also giving them that ownership and that empowerment to make decisions and do things in a way that best aligns. [00:06:35] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah. So I think there's so many different facets of leadership, and let me highlight some of the others that feeds into the third aspect, which is the empowering team. So I think as a leader, first thing first, you need to provide clarity, direction, focus. I've been part of so many different teams where if people can relate to what they're doing, why they're doing, they can get lost, right? So I think that's the first thing. You need to have the ability to cut through the noise, provide direction to the team, organization you're leading. And then the second part is inspiring and bringing people together to execute on that vision. So this is the culture piece. You are listening to others, you're hearing others' perspectives and being inclusive. And the last thing, which I mentioned early on, is empowering your teams and making them accountable. So to your question of how you bridge the gap, I think you have to give clear direction. And when you empower teams doesn't mean that you don't coach them, right? You are just telling them that you trust them to do the job and you are here to help them. And one of the technique that I use is I ask questions, so I don't give answers. When you ask someone in your team to lead the project, they come to you. Then you ask questions. And I've seen, based on my experiences, that gives them a sense of ownership that this is something they're thought through. And oftentimes I've heard from people that they feel like they become a better version of themselves because I ask a lot of questions. I make them think. So that's my approach on how I kind of bridge the gap, but also make sure along the way that you're supporting them in the right direction. [00:08:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Yeah, and you mentioned as you were speaking a little bit towards how your past experiences shape who you are and how you kind of relate to the world now, you mentioned core values, and I would love, if you don't mind, if you would share a little bit more about your core values. I noticed that on your LinkedIn profile, that was something that was very highlighted as being extremely important to you, which I love. I'd love if you would share a little bit about maybe how you developed your core values and how those play out for you. [00:08:57] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, absolutely. I think core values is something that you always have, but you just sometimes need a little bit of handholding to unfold those, right? And so in my case, a few years back, I had an opportunity to work with a coach, and she really helped me understanding what I'm good at. These are things that you already have, but you may not realize or you may not know how to articulate. So for me, the number one thing that came out was purpose. And I'm like, "No wonder I'm in the healthcare industry. I'm big on impact. I like building things." And so that's where it's coming from. The other core value of mine is excellence. I like to do things with excellence. I put my heart and soul into things. I'm a very passionate person. But also you gotta have an eye on quality versus decision making, right? Over time, I've learned excellence is my core value, but it's a journey, it's a process. It's not a destination. So you don't have to dwell on things. Sometimes things go wrong and you just have to keep moving on and have a growth mindset. So there's a good aspect of the value, but there could be a blind spot, like in this case for excellence and I've learned to manage that as well. And yeah, so I think these are some of the core values, which is, I think, also part of being a leader. You have to have self-reflection. You need to dig deeper and understand what you stand for. And, this has just guided me along the way. And yeah, so those are some of the things that I'd say has really helped me all along in my career. [00:10:41] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, of course. So, tell me a little bit more about your current position and what are you looking forward to as you move forward in your own career as well? [00:10:53] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, currently I'm in the structural heart space, and these are really old and sick patients. And it's just amazing to see these patients getting impacted by our technology, getting back to their day-to-day life. And as part of structural heart, also, most recently I've been able to work on therapies. I've been focusing on the congenital portfolio, which is, these are devices that are used to treat patients that have congenital disease, and it's very impact driven because you're dealing with children here who tend to get multiple surgeries throughout their lifetime. So my role right now is to focus on business initiatives. Some of it is expansion across geographies. Some of it is increasing supply for these products. I mean, there's not a big business case for these kind of products, but the impact is huge. So that's my current focus. And, moving forward, in my career, I'm looking to grow into a general management track, and that's what attracted me to marketing because I consider marketing as running a business within the organization. So for me, running a business would be something that I would be looking forward to. And that's why I have spent time in so many different kind of roles, whether it's marketing, it's commercial transformation, whether it's global roles. So that's how I've been building my skillset so that I can one day lead a business. [00:12:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's very exciting. Okay, so you're building all of these skill sets. You're working towards this incredible goal. Do you have an idea of what kind of business you would want to get into? Or is this, " We'll see," and I'll interview you again when that happens? [00:12:38] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, I think cardiology, there's so much opportunity in cardiology. There are so many people getting impacted by cardiovascular disease around the world, and there's so much innovation too happening, not just on the treatment side, but also on the diagnostic side. So I would say either something in the cardiology space would be very attractive because it's innovative. There's such a huge population that gets impacted by it. Or the other area of interest for me is women's health, and I think it just makes me smile how there's progress being made. I know there's so much work that needs to be done. We know there's not enough evidence, it's underfunded, but I think the work is starting there, and better evidence generation will lead to better decision making, which will lead to better outcomes. So I would say either in the cardiology space or the women's health space, these are the two areas of interest to me. [00:13:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. And I noticed again, with LinkedIn, you are very passionate about women's health and I love that. And I am wondering if you could speak a little bit towards some of themes that I kind of picked up on, things like stigma with women's health, medical gaslighting and self-diagnosis. And I know there's a lot to that and it's probably too much for one conversation today, but can you highlight a couple of the areas that you particularly find concerning, that are things that we can all do better? [00:14:11] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah. Yeah. I think first of all there's such lack of education and awareness. As women transition through different stages of life, I feel like a lot of it is taken for granted. We don't question it. And as someone who's been following this for a little bit of a time, I almost feel like it's my duty and being in the healthcare industry, to raise awareness about this or encourage them to be more educated patients. When they go to a doctor, if they don't get answers, they should ask more questions. So I think, so that's that lack of education and awareness piece. There's a lot of work happening. There's so many advocacy groups. Women are coming together, supporting each other, so I think that's happening as well. The other thing that really bothers me is on the diagnostic side. I wrote an article around women get mammograms. Just because there's not enough evidence out there, sometimes you just have to go through a number of tests to have a diagnosis, either a positive or a negative. So I also feel like maybe the advent of technologies like AI in the diagnostic field can help improve that, because it starts with the diagnostic side, and we just don't have enough right now. And like I said, it can either be a good thing or bad thing. I've also heard of women going through a number of tests to find out that they don't have anything, which is fine, but it's just a lot of money along the way getting to the diagnosis. And then, the third thing I'd say is as we get more intelligent with evidence, it will lead to better awareness among the physician community too. And that's what gaslighting comes because there's not a lot of evidence, there's not a lot of awareness. Even physicians sometimes can't guide you in the right direction. But if you have more studies coming out, it will make them more aware and guide their patients in the right direction. So there's just so many different things, but I feel like you could start being a self-aware patient and not just assume as you go through different stages of your life that this is what it comes being with a woman. Be more proactive, ask questions, research, talk to other people and get help. [00:16:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, that's really great advice, and I appreciate your perspective in sharing with us a little bit about maybe even some of the things that we all can do as we're trying to hopefully push the quality of women's healthcare forward and make it more widely available and whatnot. So thank you for sharing. As you have been going throughout your career-- and you obviously care so much about purpose and you have a lot of passion for helping people and for the healthcare industry in general-- are there any moments that really stand out to you as affirming, "Hey, I am in the right industry at the right time?" [00:17:11] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, there's been so many moments and I would say most of these moments are when I've interacted with patients. When I started with Covidian, I was leading an initiative which would help a lot of women who were having open hysterectomies-- this is like 10, 15 years back-- to have a minimally invasive hysterectomy through a new procedure technique. So it was called single incision surgery. And I happened to talk to some patients, and it was just amazing to hear those stories where they were telling me how they could get back on their feet, travel, within just a week after the procedure. So that's the defining moment. And then, when I was working on one of the businesses where patients have very varicose veins, I met a patient who was a mom of four. So she had four kids within a span of six, seven years, and she had very visible varicose veins on her legs. And that impacted her quality of life. And when she got the procedure done with our technology, she was just so happy. It was not just cosmetic, but also less painful, and being more present with her kids because of that. And then I'd say most recently in the cardiology space, these are really sick patients, older patients with multiple conditions, and just hearing their stories of getting a new heart valve, it's amazing to see how, again it's getting back to life. So it's always, when you meet these patients, those are the defining moments, and it just reaffirms why you're in healthcare and why you need to continue to work in the healthcare space. [00:18:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. I love that so much. Yeah, so pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It can be within your industry. It could be related to anything your background, your experience, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:19:19] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, that's a great question. I don't think I have an expertise right now, but maybe something on mindfulness and yoga. One of my goals is to do a yoga teacher training, but the importance of mindfulness in business. There's so many things you can do: power walks, taking a break, journaling. These are so underrated, but I think these things are necessary. It's more important than ever now, given the fast change. There's so much, so many changes happening at such a fast pace. So I would say that would be my topic, but I don't think I'm ready yet to have that masterclass. [00:20:03] Lindsey Dinneen: Fair enough. Fair enough. So I'm curious, how long have you been incorporating these kinds of really important mindfulness practices into your own life and your own routine. Is this something that you've had for years and years or is it a more recent development? [00:20:19] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah, I think it's more recent. I would say three to four years, although I wonder why I did not do that. I think within the organization, as you are managing multiple things, it just forced me at that point of time when I was juggling a lot of things in my life and I wanted some pause and clarity. And I actually, years back, I had take a yoga class and then I started doing core barre yoga as well. So I realized that it really has a big impact on me. And then I just try to be more disciplined and try to take out time, if not every day, maybe every two days, but I would say it's more of a recent phenomena. It does require a lot of discipline. Earlier you start, the better it is because you're not going to get it right away. It takes a lot of discipline and commitment to incorporate these. And you won't be able to do it all the time, but at least starting that and trying to incorporate day to day life is a good start. [00:21:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. I found personally that starting my day with a much more intentional routine that includes things like meditation and those kinds of mindfulness practices makes a huge difference in how I feel throughout the whole day and the week in general. So, and that's a more recent development for me too. So it's one of those interesting things about how that evolves over time. So I love that. Thank you for sharing about your own journey. All right, and then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:21:59] Nidhi Oberoi: As I said purpose is my core value, big on impact. So I just want to leave the world a little bit better and do my bit. And whether it's working on things, like working on technologies and providing access to health care to patients, probably globally. So it's just continuing to make an impact in the healthcare space and leaving the world a little bit better than I inherited it. [00:22:27] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. Excellent. And final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:22:37] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah. There are so many different things. As you start meditating or focusing on mindfulness, it's the small things in life that you start enjoying. Being in Minnesota, the good weather is difficult to come by. So sunshine really makes me happy. But yeah, I think being present makes you more joyful. You just start enjoying everything in life. The other thing I would say is just simple acts of kindness. People helping other people is also something that just moves me and touches me. [00:23:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, of course. I'm really curious. Okay, so I said final question, but then I have a follow up. So when you said being present helps bring you joy, could you share a little bit more about what you mean by that? [00:23:24] Nidhi Oberoi: Yeah. So I think being present means that you are not thinking about your past and you're not thinking about your future. And so what that means is all you're focusing is what's in the now, and I'm going to start speaking the language of someone who teaches yoga or meditation, but being present really is you're not in the past. You're not in the future. You're just enjoying your day, the moment, as it comes by, it's as simple as that. You're centered. You're aligned with yourself and you just focus on what's in your control. You don't dwell on things either of the past or in the future. So I think that's a very, that's a beautiful moment to be in. [00:24:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, I couldn't agree more. Well, thank you for sharing a little bit more about that. I really appreciate it. And thank you so much for your time today. This has been such a great conversation. I've loved learning about you, and I'm so excited about your career future, especially with your goal of starting your own company at some point. So I will be cheering you on for that whole process. I know that's no small undertaking. But in the meantime, I just want to say thanks again for your time, and thank you so much for working hard to change lives for a better world. [00:24:45] Nidhi Oberoi: Well, thank you so much. Thank you for the opportunity. It's been so fun chatting with you. You're joyful. [00:24:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Thank you. Well, excellent. We are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment.

The outcome of FTC v. Meta could reshape the social media landscape as well as U.S. merger policy. For the first time, the government is seeking to unwind two acquisitions more than a decade old, Facebook's purchase of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. In its complaint, the Federal Trade Commission alleges that Facebook sought to eliminate threats to its social networking monopoly and ultimately harmed consumers through increased user ad loads and decreased quality and user privacy. Meta argues that the social media market is flush with competitors, including X, Snapchat, and TikTok, and that its investments helped both Instagram and WhatsApp expand rapidly. The trial concluded on May 27, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and a decision is expected anytime.

Building Sociedades Más Justas: Youth Justice in Colombia Claire de Mézerville López and cohost IIRP Lecturer A. Miguel Tello welcome Lina Hernández Nassif to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  Lina brings a wealth of experience from her work implementing restorative justice programs, particularly with youth in Colombia. Her journey spans from coordinating conflict resolution programs in prisons to facilitating initiatives for vulnerable teenagers across diverse socio-cultural contexts. In this compelling conversation, Lina shares pivotal outcomes from her programs, emphasizing the crucial role of victims in the restorative justice process. By placing survivors at the heart of justice initiatives, Lina and her team create safe spaces where individuals can process trauma, find closure, and embark on paths to reconciliation. She highlights success stories of teenagers who, after engaging in restorative justice, have overcome adversity to pursue education, employment, and stable lives. Lina dispels myths about restorative justice, stressing its practical application beyond theory. She advocates for professionals to engage directly with communities, fostering understanding and support for youth facing complex challenges. Her insights challenge conventional punitive measures, advocating instead for collaborative efforts among institutions to maximize impact and promote societal healing. Lina has a wide range of experience implementing restorative justice processes. She coordinated programs focused on conflict resolution inside and outside prisons with adults. In recent years, her work has focused on caring for youth within the criminal responsibility system, specifically for teenagers from different socio-cultural contexts such as migrants, natives, LGBTIQ+ community, and more. In 2022, Lina had the opportunity to work for the World Food Program through the Corporation for Community Social Development in the registration of more than 60,000 Venezuelans in vulnerable conditions so they could have access to government benefits in the Antioquia territory. Recently, she has been in charge of the coordination of the judicial monetary program for drug treatment, which was developed in an agreement between the government of Antioquia and the prison fellowship of Colombia to develop restorative justice processes for teens who have committed crimes due to drug use and addiction. Tune in to learn more about Lina's work and the expansiveness of the impact restorative justice can have on youth and their communities.

In this week's Words & Numbers, Ant and James tackle the misunderstood world of corporate stock buybacks—are they economic malpractice or just savvy business? The duo then pivots to publicly funded media, taking aim at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and questioning its continued reliance on taxpayer dollars in an age of abundant private alternatives. They also examine the federal government's rare (and tiny) budget surplus in June, dissecting whether it's a meaningful trend or a statistical blip. Along the way, Steve Miller cancels his tour for baffling reasons, Trump forgets he appointed Powell, and the guys reflect on why government tax revenue stubbornly sticks to 18% of GDP—no matter the policy. As always, they ask: what's the data say, and so what?

Twin Cities public television, or TPT, is laying off some of its staff. In an email to employees Tuesday, President Sylvia Strobel said, “Due to the loss of federal funding, we have made the decision to reduce our staff.” The email did not say how many people were let go. It said those impacted were notified Tuesday morning and their last day is Wednesday. Last week, Congress approved a recission bill that cut 1.1 billion dollars from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.In Minneapolis, racial justice and police accountability leaders are criticizing city leaders for promoting a police officer who shot and killed a young man during a no-knock raid in 2022.

In this episode of then & now, guest host Dr. Ben Zdencanovic welcomes Professor Josh Shepperd, Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and Director of the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF). Josh, acclaimed author of Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting (University of Illinois Press, 2023), discusses the complex historical development of NPR and PBS—two cornerstones of American public broadcasting. The conversation contextualizes how these public broadcasters, designed initially to provide non-commercial, equitable programming for all Americans, became politically contentious entities. The recent decision by the Trump administration to withdraw funding already allocated for public broadcasting stations like NPR and PBS is situated within a longer pattern of political challenges. By connecting past and present, Josh illuminates the enduring historical significance of public broadcasting and its precarious position within contemporary American society, offering a nuanced foundation for understanding current debates over the future of public media. Josh Shepperd is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Director of the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF). Pulling from political economic, Birmingham, and Foucauldian traditions, Josh researches institutional genealogies of 20th-century U.S. media culture. He is author of Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting (University of Illinois Press, 2023), which received the 2024 BEA Book Award. Josh is currently co-writing the "History of Public Media for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)" and "Current."

We're heading into another potential government shutdown, and the maneuvering is already underway. Schumer is strategizing with his caucus on how to handle the September 30 deadline. It's a familiar script: Democrats want Republicans to commit to avoiding additional rescissions and to agree on the broader budget process before Democrats give their votes. The ask isn't outrageous — a few basic guarantees in exchange for the seven Democratic votes Republicans would need to hit the 60-vote threshold in the Senate.The tension, of course, is baked in. Some Democrats want to force a shutdown, not avoid one. They think it's time to show their base that they'll stand up to Trump and his agenda. But Schumer doesn't want to lose the optics war. If Democrats are the ones who initiate a shutdown, he knows they'll never be able to claim the high road again when Republicans try the same play. That framing matters — especially in an election year.Meanwhile, Republicans are eager to push another round of budget cuts. They already passed an $8 billion rescissions package and want more. That's what Schumer is trying to block, while also keeping his own party from turning a funding debate into a loyalty test. It's a messy balancing act, and the countdown has already started.Public Media Hits a WallEdith Chapin stepping down from NPR is getting attention, but the real story is the billion-dollar rescission Congress just passed — a cut directly targeting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That's the pot of money that gets divided among outlets like NPR and PBS. Chapin insists her departure isn't related, and maybe that's true. Thirteen years is a long run. Still, the timing speaks volumes.For years, public media has downplayed its reliance on federal dollars. They'd argue they only receive about 1% of their funding from the government, so budget cuts shouldn't matter. But now that Congress has actually slashed that funding, the narrative changes. If they're not publicly funded in any meaningful way, how do they survive? And if they are, then why haven't they done a better job of building public goodwill to protect that funding?I don't think the model holds up much longer. If you rely on taxpayer money, you have to make your case — constantly. You have to give people something they can see, something they can repeat. You can't just be vague and institutional and assume the funding will continue. It's not the '90s anymore. The party's ending, and there's a new bartender who's ready to close the tab.UNESCO and the American PullbackAnd then there's UNESCO. Trump is pulling the U.S. out of the UN's Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — again. It's a reversal of a reversal from his first term. He says it's too “woke,” too biased, too ineffective. Whatever the justification, it fits a larger pattern: the U.S. retreating from its role as primary funder of global institutions.There's always a debate about whether this kind of move opens the door for China to step in and fill the void. That argument has merit. But I'll say to UNESCO what I said to public media: if you depend on the American public — directly or indirectly — for your funding and relevance, then you have to win public support. You have to tell your story well, and often. You have to make people care.Some of these global organizations got comfortable. They assumed the checks would keep coming, and the U.S. would always foot the bill. But now they're running out of room. The music's fading. And if they can't answer why they matter in plain language, they'll find themselves cut off without much fanfare.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:25 - Justin's BART Experience00:08:52 - Interview with Michael Tracey00:39:40 - Update00:40:17 - Gov't Shutdown?00:43:32 - NPR00:45:09 - UNESCO00:47:35 - Interview with Michael Tracey, con't01:18:40 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

After Congress approved President Donald Trump's clawback of funds distributed through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, tribal stations are frantically searching for money to keep from going dark. Tribes are stepping up in some cases, audiences are responding with increased donations, and the stations are scaling back their operations. In the meantime, higher education officials are worried about a Trump budget plan to cut federal funding to tribal colleges and universities by nearly 90%. Representatives from some of those institutions say they will have to significantly scale back their operations. Others say they will have to close outright. We'll get more detail on both of these major funding changes.

“Our job is to recycle so that we can recover all of that scrap and goods that you and I are recycling in our garbage bins every week or recycling as we get new cars. And our job is to recover that because we make steel in a very clean and efficient process through what's called an electric arc furnace. So, we take all of that scrap, we melt it down, and we make new steel. It does not degrade. It has a continuous reusable life.…Depending on the different products of steel, that actually determines the recycled content that goes into them for the finishes and the quality of the steel that's needed.” Tabitha Stine on Electric Ladies Podcast With tariffs on steel and the Nippon Steel-U.S. Steel merger back in the news, we wanted to replay this important conversation on the impact of steel on the environment and how “recycled steel” works. “The production and use of materials such as cement, steel, and aluminum have a significant carbon footprint,” according to the UN, with construction 37% of emissions. But is recycled steel safe? Listen to Tabitha Stine, General Manager of Energy Solutions and Services at Nucor Corporation, which says it's “North America's largest steel manufacturer and recycler.” She'll explain how recycled steel is made and more in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson. They also share insightful career advice. You'll hear about: How recycled steel is made and where the steel comes from that is recycled. How structurally sound recycled steel is and how it's tested to make sure and meet building codes. Which industries use recycled steel, why, and how the demand and supply line up.   How the steel industry is adapting to ensure automobiles and buildings are resilient to the ravages of climate change, including innovations in the works. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “Usually what holds people back is, people are not willing to raise their hand. And then you go 10 years and you haven't had guidance because maybe you have a manager that doesn't give you feedback. You have to advocate for yourself. You are your advocate. There are no others. You've got to assume nobody else will except for yourself and you go for it. And I would also stress that if you're also not mentoring others at every stage along your career, you're missing out on a big opportunity,” Tabitha Stine on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay: Sorry, NY The Senate’s landmark vote to defund PBS and NPR, a conservative goal that has been decades in the making. Clay and Buck frame this as a generational shift in media accountability, pending final approval from the House. The rise of Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate whose far-left platform includes abolishing private property and implementing socialist economic reforms. Clay and Buck debate whether Republicans should strategically allow Mamdani to win, arguing that his radicalism could serve as a wake-up call for voters and galvanize GOP turnout in the 2026 midterms. They suggest that Democrats embracing Mamdani could backfire nationally, especially in swing districts. The Audience Weighs In Calls and emails split between defending New York City and supporting Clay’s provocative idea of “sacrificing” NYC to expose Democratic extremism. The hosts also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s public distancing from Mamdani, interpreting it as a sign of internal Democratic discomfort with his ideology. Alan Dershowitz on Epstein Alan Dershowitz joins the show to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case, recent developments in the DOJ, and media misinformation. Dershowitz defends Trump against claims of involvement in Epstein’s crimes, asserting there is no credible evidence linking Trump to any wrongdoing. He also debunks conspiracy theories about Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence, calling them baseless and antisemitic. Dershowitz advocates for full transparency in the Epstein files, including both accusations and exculpatory evidence, to ensure fairness in public judgment. TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, offering deep insights into the latest conservative legislative victories and political developments. The hour opens with Blackburn discussing the Senate’s advancement of a major rescission package, which includes efforts to defund NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—an initiative dating back to the Reagan era. She highlights the elimination of wasteful federal spending, such as funding for vegan food in Zambia and electric buses in Rwanda, projecting a potential $90 billion in savings over a decade. The conversation shifts to President Trump’s early-term accomplishments, with Blackburn praising his swift action on the economy, border security, and crime. She emphasizes his commitment to promises made, including securing the southern border, reducing inflation, and rebuilding the military. The hosts and Blackburn also discuss the “No Tax on Tips” bill and a proposed $6,000 annual Social Security tax deduction for seniors, framing these as key components of the GOP’s 2024 platform. Judicial appointments take center stage as Blackburn details the contentious confirmation of Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Despite Democratic opposition due to Bove’s past legal defense of Trump, Republicans pushed the nomination through committee. Blackburn criticizes Democrats for obstructing judicial and law enforcement appointments, urging the GOP to push confirmations forward without delay. The hour also explores Tennessee’s economic success, with Blackburn crediting the state’s constitutional ban on income tax and fiscally conservative governance for attracting businesses and residents. She contrasts this with the rise of far-left politics in cities like New York, referencing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani and warning of the dangers of socialist policies.
