There are just two statewide questions on the ballot this year, and both are related to a universal school meals program intended to feed all public school students in the state regardless of income.Three years ago, voters approved a tax on wealthier Coloradans to fund the Healthy School Meals program for All. That original measure set out to do several things, with the marquee item being to provide free breakfast and lunch for all K-12 public school students in Colorado. But it's running short on cash, and lawmakers are going back the ballot again, asking voters to increase that tax to fully fund the program.CPR's Bente Birkeland and CPR's Jenny Brundin dig into the original measure and how its promises have matched up with reality so far, why the program is in financial trouble, and how lawmakers on both sides of the aisle feel about going back to taxpayers about the issue. They explain what Propositions MM and LL will do, and why Democratic lawmakers hope they could help with hunger at home as well as school.Read CPR's voter guide for the 2025 election here.Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett dives into a powerful monologue examining the ideological evolution of the Democratic Party, tracing its shift from a working-class coalition to a technocratic, elite-driven platform. He outlines how Bill Clinton’s embrace of globalism, Wall Street, and Beijing marked the start of a neoliberal era, later fueled by Silicon Valley’s cultural influence. Brett argues that the 2008 financial crisis catalyzed a progressive uprising—Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders, and AOC—pushing the party further left. He warns that identity politics has replaced class concerns and claims the Democratic leadership now appeases campus radicals promoting anti-Semitism. Highlighting recent unrest at elite universities, he criticizes figures like Chuck Schumer for political cowardice. Brett contends that the “No Kings” movement represents a deeper rejection of Western values and civilization itself. He calls this a moment of moral clarity, urging Democrats to choose between mob rule and constitutional order, before the nation's democratic foundations are irreparably damaged Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

An insurrection could soon be declared in the United States. President Donald Trump has suggested he may invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807. Among the many implications, this would give Trump broad powers to deploy the National Guard or military within the country.We'll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of “Crossroads.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In April 2024, writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss—known for his hugely popular podcast “The Tim Ferriss Show” and NYT-bestselling books like The 4-Hour Workweek—found himself at a crossroads. Although his podcast was generating millions annually, he questioned the sustainability of podcasting and his own competitive advantage given the increasingly saturated market and the advent of AI tools and video-centric formats. He faced a difficult choice: innovate from within his proven format, pivot to entirely new ventures—possibly in film, premium consumer products, or venture capital—or risk a slow decline by maintaining the status quo. Complicating matters further was Ferriss's desire to start a family, a goal he prioritized above all business ventures. Every month of indecision narrowed his window for successfully transitioning. Senior Lecturer Reza Satchu and Tim Ferriss joined Cold Call host Brian Kenny to discuss the case, “Tim Ferriss: What Might This Look Like If It Were Easy?”

The verdict on climate change is bleaker than ever before. The remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5°C is rapidly shrinking – equivalent to just three years of emissions at current rates. What is the scientific framework known as planetary boundaries? What's science telling us about the economic impact of climate change? And how is the ECB addressing climate and nature-related risks? Our host Paul Gordon speaks to Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and Irene Heemskerk, head of the ECB's climate change centre, to find out why. The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank. Recorded on 8 October 2025 and published on 14 October 2025. In this episode: 01:48 Where do we stand in the fight against climate change? What is science telling us? What could get us back on track? 05:58 Is climate change attracting enough attention? Is it being overshadowed by other challenges, like the war in Ukraine or geopolitical fragmentation? How is climate change connected to the economy? And what level of risk are we facing? 10:30 What are planetary boundaries? What is the planetary boundaries framework? 14:50 The phases of climate change How has global warming evolved over time? Are we heading for disaster? Is the 1.5°C threshold a goal or a limit? 19:15 Why is our economy dependent on climate change? Why do climate insights matter to the work of a central bank? How does the ECB take climate change into account? What risks does climate change pose to our primary mandate, price stability? And is it too late for us to take action? 23:03 What is the “right pace” for transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy? How can we balance the need for rapid change with economic interests ? 26:15 Does every step matter? What's needed for an orderly transition? What progress has been made in recent years, and what decisions could accelerate it further? 31:55 Our guests' hot tips Johan and Irene share their hot tips.

AI is rapidly reshaping healthcare, but the future will depend on how it is implemented responsibly, equitably, and intelligently.In this special crossover episode of Straight Outta Health IT and HIMSSCast, hosts Christopher Kunney, Mike Miliard, and Susan Morse sit down with two health innovation leaders, Dr. Ryan Sadeghian, Assistant Chief Medical Information Officer and practicing pediatrician at the University of Toledo, and Rachini Moosavi, Chief Analytics Officer at UNC Health. Together, they explore how AI, data, and governance are reshaping healthcare from the ground up. Their discussion seamlessly blends frontline experience with enterprise strategy, demonstrating how technology can drive both clinical efficiency and equitable innovation.Dr. Sadeghian presents a physician's perspective on how generative AI can alleviate workload through targeted applications. He describes a pediatric chatbot his team developed, trained with more than 420 logical pathways to provide safe, easy-to-understand guidance for parents while meeting HIPAA, ADA, and legal standards. His “small wins” approach, focusing on measurable ROI through milestones like denial reduction and workflow improvement, demonstrates how trust, data fluency, and leadership credibility form the foundation of successful AI adoption.Rachini Moosavi dives deeper into data infrastructure and governance, explaining UNC Health's collaborative approach to building its AI ecosystem.

What does it take to walk across an entire country—3,400 miles, 16 states, and 7 months on the road? In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohost Laurel Boivin sits down again with Nick Tucker, a husband, father, speaker, and storyteller whose journey of resilience has inspired many.

Today, we sat down with Bob Stevens from GitLab to put this development into perspective, examine some use cases, and suggest methods that federal agencies can use to prepare for this technological shift. What precipitated the initiative is the recognition that change is occurring so rapidly in the world of software development that the federal government must adapt more quickly than in the past, or it will be vulnerable to cyberattacks. Stevens notes that the federal government has been targeting modernization, producing software faster, and being more efficient, for a decade. AI will help them get there, with some possible cost reduction. For example, in the past, a vulnerability may have taken weeks to discover. Utilizing AI allows federal software developers to reduce that discovery to minutes. That ties in with one essential element in the White House initiative: security. In fact, one of the pillars of the Action Plan is titled “Promoting Secure-by-Design AI Technologies and Applications.” Stevens has been involved in federal software development for decades and thinks that a platform approach best serves the essential objectives of this Action Plan. The conversation concludes with the potential for AI to streamline government processes and improve operational efficiency.

(Originally recorded 10/2/2025)   We're closing in on episode 100.  Just keep swimming. As we started recording, episode 7 of Peacemaker was on the air and Stephe was getting pinging repeatedly on a group chat.  It's ironic because Stephe doesn't have HBOMax, so he's not watching Peacemaker. Bruce, however, is. We discuss the subtle art of self-editing, especially in a business setting. Bruce then proceeded to plug his new radio show, Crossroads.  It airs on Mondays at 8pm CST on KWVH and streams on their apps (available wherever you get your apps.) What else? Lets see: Stephe moved his office The creation of wiggy.digs The many lives of Jon Gries Drugs in 1970s baseball Sports mishaps The upcoming SDCC presale And, of course, we played "What's on Your Desk?" Bruce mentioned that Stephe has a birthday coming up.  Wish him a happy one if you see him.

This week, Ben and Rob get Caught Stealing (2025), Darren Aronofsky's crime thriller comedy that feels like a lost '90s gem dusted off for the modern screen. Starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Matt Smith, Caught Stealing reintroduces us to exaggerated neon-light New York, hustle, danger, and characters who carry regret like a heavy coat.Why does Caught Stealing feel like the director's first great film in ages? Is Austin Butler the best new actor working in Hollywood right now? How does Caught Stealing recreate what audiences have forgotten about the '90s? We also get into Darren Aronofsky's “curse of could-have-been”: can a movie be both flashy and deeply melancholic, both thrilling and haunted by its characters' pasts? And when all is said and done, why has this somewhat broken our hosts?PLUS!
