Send us a textWelcome back to the American Experiment Podcast! Grace and Kathryn break down the latest Minnesota news, including Governor Walz appointing a so-called “fraud czar” but is it a day late and a billion dollars short? They're then joined by Bill Walsh, who Stops the Tape on Walz's latest press conference. When asked to take responsibility for the fraud, Walz instead takes credit for planes running on time at MSP… After that, Grace and Kathryn dive into Minneapolis Public Schools' shocking policy proposal: if layoffs are ever needed, white teachers would be laid off first, strictly because of the color of their skin. Then on the back half of the show, we feature an interview by American Experiment policy fellow David Zimmer with Judge John Tunheim, unpacking the conspiracies surrounding the Kennedy assassination. Judge Tunheim served as chair of the Assassination Records Review Board under President Clinton.

In this episode, we break down the revelations around David Sacks, the venture capitalist now serving as the Trump administration's de-facto AI czar, while simultaneously holding deep financial ties across the AI industry he's helping shape.Following the New York Times' recent reporting, we examine how Sacks positioned himself at the center of both AI policy and AI investing, and what happens when the person influencing federal AI strategy is also betting on the companies affected by those decisions.Is this a historic conflict of interest? A new model of tech-government entanglement? Or simply the inevitable outcome of Silicon Valley's growing political power?We dig into:- How Sacks became the administration's key voice on AI- The scale of his investments in AI companies- What “no conflict, no interest” looks like in practice- Why industry insiders are divided on whether this is savvy or dangerous- What this means for AI regulation, startups, and U.S. competitiveness

DAWID MARIA OSIŃSKITrzeci wykład z serii W KRAINIE CZARÓW przybliżający świat Lewisa Carrolla i jego fenomenalnej "Alicji w Krainie Czarów".Inspirowany jest nową biografią autora, którą pisał Robert Douglas Fairhurst.Książkę "Lewis Carroll w Krainie Czarów" objęliśmy patronatem Big Book Cafe.Tym razem literaturoznawca opowie o ALGORYTMIE DZIWACTW.Kto z nas nie ma dziwactw i nie jest przywiązany do jakichś rytuałów, powtarzalnych czynności, specyficznych upodobań? Wychodząc z takiego pełnego zrozumienia założenia, zastanowimy się nad upodobaniami i wyborami jednej z najciekawszych postaci żyjącej w drugiej połowie XIX wieku – Lewisa Carrolla. Biografia autora Przygód Alicji w Krainie Czarów jest wciąż mało znana. Kiedy wskazuje się na jedną z najważniejszych jego bohaterek i postaci literackich w literaturze światowej – Alicję, nie sposób nie pokazać, jakie kontrowersje i fascynacje wiążą się z postacią jej autora, pastora Charlesa Ludwika Dodgsona – matematyka, fotografika, artysty, pisarza, kolekcjonera. Co Carroll kolekcjonował, dlaczego miał obsesję symetryczności, lustrzaności, precyzji, co go przerażało i czy dziś w jakimś sensie przeraża to nas?

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is no stranger to President Donald Trump's tariff-forward trade agenda. Greer served as chief of staff to Robert Lighthizer, the U.S. Trade Representative in Trump's first administration. But now, it's Greer who's at the helm of the president's tariff implementation strategy — one that has drawn both criticism and praise from surprising places.  “I've also had members of Congress come to me, people who maybe weren't fans of tariffs two years ago, and they said, ‘This is actually real money that's coming in that can be used to pay down the debt or pay for other things or finance our reindustrialization,” Greer said. In this week's episode of The Conversation, Ambassador Greer sits down with POLITICO's Dasha Burns to explain why trade policy defies political labels, the particulars of how deals are shaping up globally and the strategy behind reconfiguring seven decades' worth of international policy.  Plus, Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, joins Dasha to explain how the battle for school funding continues to unfold, the intrinsic relationship between education and democracy and why the well-being of students should be at the top of the president's mind.

In this episode, Stanley and Czar talk to Joyce Hernandez, an accountant for a multinational company, about the most common sweldo issues and office tsismis she encounters.

Border Czar Tom Homan calls into the program to discuss the challenges faced in immigration enforcement, especially in sanctuary cities like New York. Homan criticizes the current political climate, highlighting how rhetoric against ICE has increased violence against agents and hindered their operations. He emphasizes President Trump's commitment to bolstering border security by deploying 10,000 new agents, many of whom will focus on sanctuary cities. Homan argues that political opposition often prioritizes undermining Trump over ensuring public safety, and he calls for cooperation between local authorities and ICE to address public safety threats posed by criminal aliens.

Noirvember is here and the Czar of Noir Eddie Muller is back on the podcast to talk about his new book, DARK CITY DAMES: THE WOMEN WHO DEFINED FILM NOIR along with two crime classics featuring FOUR of those Dark City Dames! First, Jane Greer uses her seductive wiles to pit private eye Robert Mitchum against domineering gangster Kirk Douglas in OUT OF THE PAST (1947), from director Jacques Tourneur (CAT PEOPLE). This movie is a stone cold classic, and not only of the best noirs, but one of the best movies ever. Rhonda Fleming is a bonus Dark City Dame in this one. OUT OF THE PAST is streaming on HBOMax. Then, our B picture takes us to "one of the worst waterfronts in the world" where John Payne is an ex-boxer-turned-cabbie caught between good girl Evelyn Keyes and femme fatale Peggie Castle during a night of frame-jobs, jewel heists and murder in 99 RIVER STREET (1953), a totally bonkers noir from director Phil Karlson (WALKING TALL). 99 RIVER STREET is streaming on Amazon Prime. In talking about his new book, Eddie regales us with tales of how Jane Greer's parrots imitated Vin Scully's homerun call, and Greer had some impressions of her own + his encounters with the other women he profiles such as Ann Savage (DETOUR) and Marie Windsor (THE KILLING). And if that wasn't enough, Eddie fills us in on the upcoming Noir City fest in Oakland and gives his thoughts on the new Vince Gilligan series PLURIBUS! Plus, this episode itself also has a bonus dark city dame with three-time Ms. Noir City Audra Wolfman joining us to make this the best Noirvember ever!

Konstantin Efimov was born in 1958 in St. Petersburg, Russia, the elder (by 10 years) of two sons born to Igor Efimov, well-established movie actor, and his wife, Irina, whom he met while attending Moscow's prestigious Maly Theater School.  Irina performed on stage until a few days before Kostia's birth.  "That must be why I enjoy being on stage so much," says Kostia, who goes by his childhood nickname.  His parents chose to live in St. Petersburg to be close to Igor's elderly mother.  In 1961, they signed a five-year contract with the Theater Group of the Soviet Army Force, performing in East Berlin.  KGB regulations, however, did not allow them to bring Kostia, then age 2-½ with them.  He stayed, as an "insurance policy," with his grandmother, Valya, living in a communal apartment that housed nine families (33 people) in 11 rooms, all sharing the same hallway, kitchen and bathroom.  "The bathtub was always filled with laundry," Kostia recalls.  "We took our baths twice a week in the community bathhouse."  As a child, Kostia displayed a tremendous interest in music, spending much time in front of the radio in his grandmother's tiny room.  At age 4, a present was delivered to him from his parents -- a 1937 Wolkenhauer upright piano, upon which he soon learned to play hundreds of Russian folk songs.  "It became the center of life in our home," Kostia remembers.  "Even my pet rooster, Peter, used the lid as his favorite perch, and he would sit there and listen while I played."  Kostia's parents returned from East Germany in July of 1965, when he was 7.  His grandmother died of a stroke the following month.  The same year, Kostia was accepted into a special music preparatory school of the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory.  For the next 11 years, each day involved four to six hours of piano practice.  At the school he met his first great influence, teacher Tamara Karetkina.  "I was her first student," Kostia recalls.  "She was a tremendous pianist and a beautiful woman, very much resembling Jacqueline Bisset.”  Because of his talent, Kostia and other elite prodigies were forbidden to play sports, for fear of hand injuries.  At 14, Kostia, who loved basketball, broke a finger in his right hand during a clandestine pick-up game.  "I was so frightened," Kostia says. "The thought of not being able to play again was so horrifying!  It was worse than death for me.  I didn't tell my mother that I did it playing basketball; I told her I fell down carrying my briefcase."  While his right hand healed, Kostia passed the time mastering pieces written by Ravel and Scriabin for left hand.  Ravel's piece was composed in honor of a pianist who lost his right hand during World War I.  At 18, Kostia entered the famed St. Petersburg Conservatory.  Here he met and studied under Vladimir Nielsen, one of the last great masters of Russian Romanticism.  He completed his Conservatory studies in 1982 with advanced graduate degrees in four disciplines:  concert (solo) pianist, pianist for chamber ensemble, accompanist, and piano teacher.  Following graduation, Kostia performed throughout Russia, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia as a soloist, with orchestras, with ethnic ensembles and his own jazz-fusion group.  Typically, Conservatory graduates move into teaching.  "I decided to go another way.  I was already involved with jazz and pop performances, and I was pretty well known as an arranger, so I wanted to explore new music.  Friends introduced me to Oscar Peterson, and modern jazz and progressive rock bands like Genesis, Yes and King Crimson.  It was very different, extremely energetic, and absolutely spontaneous, like myself.  I am definitely a free spirit, and playing this music allowed me a certain level of freedom that I wasn't able to explore in classical music."  Kostia received a proposal from the St. Petersburg Cultural Center to start, essentially, an experimental music group.  "This was 1982," he says, "and things were warming up a little bit."  Kostia called the group “ARS” -- Latin for "art.”  While working with ARS, Kostia started composing and arranging music for movies, documentaries and theatrical productions.  He freelanced as an arranger, working on a number of soundtracks for the various stage productions.  His skills as a performer led him to work with some of the well-established Russian composers (i.e., Alfred Schnitke, Vladislav Uspensky, Vladislav Panchenko), and a number of Soviet pop stars, including Marina Kapuro and Aleksander Rosenbaum, among others.  During a visit to the United States in 1989 with the Soviet-American Cultural Exchange project "Clay Stomp," Kostia had an opportunity to perform for his first American audience at the Milwaukee Art Museum, where he shared the stage with Narada artist David Lanz.  That day changed Kostia's life forever.  The next morning he received a call from Narada records offering him a recording contract.  From 1989 until 1997, Kostia worked extensively on various Narada projects as a performer, arranger and producer, including David Arkenstone's Grammy-nominated In the Wake of the Wind, and Narada's most celebrated recording, Nutcracker.  Kostia's music appeared on more than a dozen of Narada's collections and compilation albums.  In 1992, Kostia and David Arkenstone collaborated on the first album ever endorsed by the United States Olympic Committee, Spirit of Olympia.  In 1994, Narada released Kostia's first piano solo album Suite St. Petersburg, which he describes as "a piano portrait of my beloved city."  1996 brought another critically acclaimed piano album, Ten Pebbles, where Kostia revisits some of his most cherished memories.  Both albums won him respect and recognition of his fellow musicians and the love of fans around the world.  Beginning in 1997, Kostia started a series of recordings with North Sound Music Group dedicated to piano idols of pop music.  That year, he released Kostia's Interpretations of Billy Joel followed by Kostia's Interpretations of Elton John in 1998.  The success of these projects led to a number of tribute recordings completed with world renowned instrumentalists such as Daryl Stuermer, guitarist from Genesis and Phil Collins Band; Paul McCandless, Windham Hill artist and reed and saxophone player from the band Oregon; and Windham Hill guitarist, Alex De Grassi.  In 1999, Kostia composed the soundtrack for the motion picture Czar of Make Believe from Italian director Daniel Alegi, which won an award for Best Short Film at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. In 2001, Kostia released Piano Ocean, an album of original music recorded in collaboration with ex-Narada star Spencer Brewer.  At the same time, he composed the soundtracks for a motion picture, The Play in the Modern Style, and a short film of Alex Boguslavsky entitled Blue Lamp.  New Millennium also brought several other exciting projects to Kostia as well – a collaboration between LEGO and George Lucas Film, celebrated short animated film “Star Wars: “Revenge of the Brick.”; new Alex Boguslavsky's film “My Little Philosopher”; a pilot for an independent motion picture “Slow Poison.”; a collaboration with legendary band Sweetbottom (original Indi fusion group) – “Sweetbottom Live”; several new albums with old band mate, Daryl Stuermer – “GO!”, “Rewired”, “Retrofit”; debut album of Carmen Nickerson “Tomorrow Is Another Day” etc. One of Kostia's compositions made it to the world renown TV series “Sex and the City.”  In addition to collaborations with well-established music groups and individual artists, Kostia has had his music performed by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Utah Symphony Orchestra, the internationally famed Veronica String Quartet, and Present Music cellist, Paul Gemainder, to name a few.  Currently, Kostia is at work composing music for his next CD, performing solo piano concerts around the country, and recording and performing with the Daryl Stuermer Band.  Future plans?  "I am thinking about something I always wanted to do – a series of pieces for chorus, poem for string quartet, and six pictures for piano and orchestra," says Kostia.  His journey continues.  "Musical Columbus," as he is often called by journalists, is again on the way to discovering new worlds for himself and his fans. Kostia plays regularly at Fox River Congregational Church where he is a composer in residence.

Peter Greenberg in conversation with David Eastaugh In 1977, White enrolled at Boston University to study journalism. While in school, he worked in a record shop in Brookline, Massachusetts, named Good Vibrations, where his singing was heard by musician Peter Greenberg of the Lyres. White adopted the stage name Barrence Whitfield to avoid being mistaken for superstar Barry White and began performing with Greenberg and former members of the Lyres as Barrence Whitfield & the Savages STARR AND THE CZARS, hailing from Washington, DC, bring together an all-star line-up of garage-rock veterans into one explosive new band. Fronted by JAKE STARR (Adam West, Jake Starr & The Delicious Fullness, Go Mod Go!, Goy Division…), the group also features PETER GREENBERG and MICHAEL LEWIS, two legends from Boston's trailblazing DMZ. After their time in DMZ, Greenberg and Lewis both carried the torch in Lyres, cementing their reputation as key figures of the late '70s and early '80s garage revival. Greenberg later went on to co-found The Customs and Barrence Whitfield & The Savages, while Lewis added his bass guitar work to bands such as The A-Bones, Yo La Tengo and The Schramms. Starr, meanwhile, became a fixture of Washington D.C.'s garage scene.

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's show: The Trump administration is hinting at a link between Acetaminophen and autism. Border Czar Tom Homan was investigated for receiving $50,000 in cash back in 2024 for a promise of employment in the Trump Administration. Oddly, after Trump's victory the DOJ shut down the FBI investigation. Professor of immigration and citizenship law at the University of Virginia, Amanda Frost joins the show to discuss her book You Are Not American: Citizen Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers. In the Fun Half: Despite saying himself that we are on a path to a dictatorship, Chuck Schumer still won't commit to a government shutdown or doing anything at all. When asked about how House Democrats can resist fascism Hakeem Jeffries says the answer is more protest, more speeches and offers nothing else. The Charlie Kirk Memorial in Glendale, Arizona had Donald Trump feeling like dancing. Stephen Miller addresses the Kirk mourners with a Goebbels inspired speech. The patriots leaving the memorial left an incomprehensible amount of garbage throughout the streets of Glendale. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
