X: @RepFine @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Randy Fine, member of the House Foreign Relations Committee and the Education and Workforce Committee. He is one of the most effective communicators in Congress in advancing our shared values and principles. A third-generation Floridian, Randy built a career as a successful entrepreneur, founding and running businesses in retail, technology, and hospitality. He has been an active Boy Scout volunteer, serving as both Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. The son of two public school teachers, Randy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in government and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction as one of the youngest Baker Scholars in decades. Congressman Fine also serves as a member of the Freedom Caucus, Republican Study Committee and the Judea and Samaria Caucus. The conversation will explore practical and principled approaches to reducing the cost of housing and healthcare, as well as the critical importance of election integrity, with a strong majority of Americans supporting voter identification requirements, according to Pew Research. Recent studies cited by the White House suggest a correlation between the deportation of individuals residing in the United States illegally and declining housing costs in several major metropolitan areas. The Trump administration noted that "14 of the top 20 U.S. metro areas with the largest undocumented migrant populations experienced year-over-year declines in home listing prices." The discussion also highlights historical immigration enforcement trends. According to published reports, the administration of President Barack Obama formally removed approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States during his time in office. The program will also examine growing concerns over Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and discuss strategies to prevent the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism from threatening global security and holding the free world hostage. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @RepFine @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Are critical thinking skills declining in the age of AI? In this episode of Critical Intelligence, we sit down with Geoff Gibbins, author of Critical Intelligence, to explore how AI is transforming human cognition—and what we must do to stay ahead. From students relying on chatbots for homework to executives using AI for strategy, overdependence on technology risks cognitive atrophy. This episode dives deep into critical thinking skills, how critical thinking works, critical thinking steps, and why these abilities are more vital than ever. We examine are critical thinking skills declining, can critical thinking be taught, critical thinking for strategic intelligence, critical thinking and analysis, and the complex relationship between critical thinking and AI. What's Covered in This Episode: The threat of cognitive atrophy caused by overreliance on AI and practical ways to combat it Can AI do critical thinking? Why AI falls short and where humans maintain the edge How AI affects critical thinking — and whether AI can reduce critical thinking Critical thinking vs AI: Using AI as a collaborator rather than a crutch Critical thinking in AI systems and how to direct, question, and evaluate outputs Strategies for cultivating lifelong learning, metacognition, and mental agility Developing “long half-life skills” that AI cannot easily automate The importance of information literacy, verification, bias detection, and ethical decision-making Future implications of AI-evaluated humans and physical AI robots Understanding Critical Intelligence in the Age of AI Geoff Gibbins introduces the concept of “quiet cognitive atrophy” — the gradual erosion of independent thought as people increasingly defer complex reasoning to AI. While AI delivers fast answers, the uniquely human skills of asking the right questions, analyzing results, spotting flaws, and making ethical judgments remain essential. The conversation highlights that critical thinking skills are often not formally taught, yet they form the foundation for working effectively with AI. Geoff emphasizes viewing AI as a partner in a back-and-forth dialogue: challenge its responses, ask it to critique your thinking, and use it to surface blind spots rather than accepting the first output. Key practical takeaways include: Techniques for evaluating AI-generated content and combating confident-but-wrong answers Building metacognition — “thinking about how you think” — as a human superpower Cultivating skills with long-term value like strategic analysis, relationship building, and ethical reasoning Pausing to reflect before reacting in an era of deepfakes and algorithmic echo chambers Whether you're a student, professional, leader, or lifelong learner, this episode provides actionable insights on strengthening your mind while leveraging AI responsibly.   Connect with Geoff Gibbins Books: Critical Intelligence https://a.co/d/03zCAADZ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffgibbins/   Connect With Tim Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating TikTok: @timstatingtheobvious LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-staton-04b41a271/ SKOOL Community: https://www.skool.com/timstatingtheobvious-9537/about?ref=de9c7e65d8ba4eeabc1a8eea413c125b

Send us Fan MailNonprofit donor behavior trends in 2026 are revealing something unexpected: generosity is alive and well! The challenge isn't donor willingness to give—it's whether nonprofits are making it easy, clear, and compelling for supporters to take action.We welcome Mary Crogan, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Bloomerang, to discuss findings from the newly released Giving Signals Report. Based on research conducted with more than 1,000 donors and 405 fundraisers, the report challenges many assumptions about today's fundraising environment.The data shows that donors remain highly motivated to support causes they care about. In fact, 97% give because they care about their communities, 96% want to make a difference, and 92% say giving is part of who they are.As Mary explains, "The fact is, donors are actually ready. They want to give. The question is whether the organizations are positioned to engage and receive that generosity."The conversation explores how nonprofits can bridge the gap between caring and giving through greater clarity, stronger impact communication, and a smoother donor experience.One of the most striking findings? Seventy percent of donors say a tipping prompt could cause them to reconsider giving altogether, while 79% say unexpected fees create hesitation. These are preventable barriers that may be costing organizations revenue every day.The discussion also highlights the growing influence of millennial donors. Seventy-five percent plan to increase their giving this year, while 80% intend to support at least one new nonprofit.Mary offers a simple but powerful challenge for nonprofit leaders:“Can someone who comes to your site answer these questions in less than 30 seconds: What does this organization do? Who do they serve? Where does the money go? And is it working?"If your organization wants to strengthen donor trust, improve fundraising results, and better understand how donor expectations are evolving, this conversation delivers important research and valuable perspective.Key Takeaways• 97% of donors care deeply about their communities and remain motivated to give.• 94% are more likely to donate when organizations clearly explain where funds go.• 70% of donors may reconsider giving when presented with tipping prompts.• 79% say unexpected fees negatively impact their willingness to complete a gift.• 75% of millennials plan to increase their giving this year and 80% will support a new nonprofit.• Transparent reporting, visible impact, and frictionless giving experiences are becoming major competitive advantages. 00:00:00 Introduction to the Giving Signals Report 00:02:00 What 1,000 Donors Revealed About Giving 00:04:00 Generosity Is Shifting, Not Declining 00:06:00 The Clarity Gap Between Caring and Giving 00:08:00 The 30-Second Website Audit Every Nonprofit Needs 00:11:40 How Fees and Tipping Prompts Hurt Donations 00:15:00 Creating a Frictionless Donor Experience 00:16:25 Why Millennial Donors Matter Right Now 00:20:30 Closing the Donor Trust and Clarity Gap 00:24:20 What's Next for Giving Signals Research #TheNonprofitShow #FundraisingStrategy #DonorEngagementFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, a new AP-NORC poll reveals a nation wrestling with its identity, its democratic institutions, and its place in the world. Only about 25% of Americans now believe the United States stands above all other countries, while nearly 30% say there are better countries elsewhere—a significant increase from 19% in 2016. Meanwhile, confidence in democracy as a defining feature of American identity has declined, with only about two-thirds of Americans viewing a democratically elected government as highly important to the nation's identity, down from 80% in 2021. Younger Americans are especially skeptical, with 44% of adults under 30 believing other countries are better than the United States. (AP News) In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, we welcome Dr. Bernd Reiter, Professor of Comparative Politics and Latin American Studies at Texas Tech University and an internationally recognized expert on democracy, race, decolonization, and social change. With a career that began in activism across Germany, Colombia, and Brazil, Bernd brings a truly global perspective to some of the most pressing challenges facing democracies today. Drawing from his latest books, Status: Honor and White Privilege in Brazil and Beyond and The African Origins of Democracy, Bernd challenges conventional assumptions about democracy, governance, and progress. He argues that many of the solutions to today's democratic crises cannot come exclusively from Western nations and that valuable lessons can be found in Africa, Latin America, and other regions often overlooked in mainstream political discourse. During our conversation, we explore the growing concerns about democratic backsliding and authoritarianism, the impact of economic inequality on civic participation, and how innovative democratic models from the Global South may offer practical solutions for rebuilding trust and representation. We also discuss the importance of decolonizing knowledge, questioning Eurocentric narratives, and creating more inclusive approaches to understanding history, power, and governance. As political polarization, economic uncertainty, and declining faith in institutions continue to shape public opinion, this conversation offers a timely examination of what democracy can become when we are willing to learn from a broader range of voices and experiences. Rather than focusing solely on what's broken, Dr. Reiter invites us to imagine new possibilities for democratic renewal in an increasingly interconnected world. Whether you're concerned about the future of democracy, interested in global political innovation, or seeking fresh perspectives on America's role in the world, this episode challenges assumptions and expands the conversation about where meaningful change may come from next.     For more information: https://www.berndreiterphd.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu observes the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and discusses how families of the victims plan to honor their loved ones both in mainland China and abroad despite CCP censorship. Next, Miles reports on China's continued economic woes as growth rates have declined over the past few months, and assess renewed calls for CCP intervention to spark stimulus and address increasing concerns. Finally, Miles reviews an investigative report stemming from a whistleblower disclosure of non-public foreign funding to Stanford University from Chinese state-backed entities, and comments on the extent of Chinese influence in US academia. China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future. 

People love to complain about the declining quality of movies, music, books, and art. But what if we're asking the wrong question?The inspiration for this episode came from a post on Threads by @Tanviberwah: “Everybody wants to talk about declining quality of books and music and movies and etc etc. Nobody wants to talk about the economic conditions of writers and editors and designers and musicians and etc etc impacting cultural innovation.”That idea immediately resonated with me. We often celebrate innovation after it happens, but rarely examine the conditions that make innovation possible in the first place. As economic pressures increase and more people find themselves working multiple jobs just to get by, what happens to creativity, experimentation, and the freedom to take risks?I explore the relationship between economic stability, creativity, innovation, and play. From Hollywood and publishing to technology and entrepreneurship, I argue that many of society's greatest breakthroughs happen when people have the time and space to think, explore, fail, and discover—not when they're simply trying to survive.Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, filmmaker, writer, or someone simply trying to do meaningful work, this episode examines what it really takes to create something new. Because innovation doesn't just require talent. It requires the conditions for creativity to thrive.

Muscle loss in midlife is real, it is measurable, and it starts earlier than most women are told. Declining estrogen during perimenopause directly affects skeletal muscle — reducing mass, impairing muscle protein synthesis, and accelerating a process called sarcopenia. By the time many women notice it, they've already lost meaningful ground.In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers is joined by Dr. Dianah Lake — emergency medicine physician, fitness and weight loss coach, and menopause wellness expert — to talk about what's actually driving muscle loss in midlife and what the evidence says about reversing it.

Alex Murdaugh is 57 years old serving 40 years in federal prison. He's never getting out. So the question people keep asking is: why bother with a murder retrial? This episode of the Murdaugh channel answers that question, and the answer starts with two names: Maggie and Paul.Maggie Murdaugh was 52. Paul was 22. They were killed on their family's property. The Supreme Court's ruling erased the murder convictions and the life sentences. The legal record says no one has been convicted of their deaths. That's a reality that cannot stand without an answer. The state has a legal and moral obligation to provide one.Murdaugh is in prison for being a thief. He stole from clients, from his firm, from people who trusted him. That matters. But a financial crimes sentence and a murder conviction are fundamentally different things. They carry different moral weight. They mean different things to the families of the people who were killed. Accepting a fraud sentence as a substitute for murder accountability abandons the two people at the center of this case.The Supreme Court didn't say the murder charges were unfounded. It said the process was broken. The state's obligation wasn't extinguished by the reversal — it was reset. Declining to retry because the defendant is already incarcerated would set a precedent that the state's commitment to justice depends on cost-benefit analysis.A judge at sentencing told Murdaugh a monster lived inside him. Murdaugh responded that he was innocent. A clean trial is the mechanism to test that claim under fair conditions. Financial crime victims who were personally harmed by Murdaugh are willing to endure the process again. The families of Maggie and Paul deserve the same commitment from the system. A verdict that holds is the only acceptable outcome. The retrial is the only path to it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if your sex life didn't have to decline with age — but could actually get better? Susan Bratton, intimacy expert and educator to over 1.5 million people worldwide, joins Dr. Debra Durst for one of the most wide-ranging, honest, and genuinely life-changing conversations about sexual health ever recorded on this channel.

Dr. John Gartner returns to The Daily Beast Podcast to deliver an urgent, chilling analysis of Donald Trump's rapidly deteriorating clinical condition as he approaches his 80th birthday. Moving far beyond typical signs of aging, Dr. Gartner details to Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty the alarming behavioral symptoms pointing toward frontotemporal dementia—including a complete loss of empathy, dangerous disinhibition, and increasingly disorganized thought processes. Dr. Gartner unpacks the psychology behind Trump's late-night postings, his shocking new delusions of grandeur, and a calculated effort to "groom" the American public for an unthinkable nuclear conflict.

Washington Post foreign affairs columnist and bestselling author David Ignatius joins Donny Deutsch for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation on the biggest geopolitical flashpoints shaping our world right now. Is America a declining superpower? Donny and David break down Trump's Beijing summit with Xi Jinping — what Trump actually got (and didn't get), why Boeing stock dropped after the "200 planes" announcement, and what it means for U.S.-China relations that Taiwan arms sales are now a bargaining chip. They explore the Thucydides Trap, the G2 power dynamic, and whether decoupling from China was ever realistic. Then: the Ukraine-Russia war and how battlefield innovation — from AI-powered drone warfare to autonomous defense systems — is permanently changing the future of military conflict. David, who has traveled to Ukraine eight times since the invasion began, explains why survival is victory and what Putin's next move might be. From there, the conversation shifts to Iran: the nuclear threat, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the internal power struggle inside the Iranian regime, and why Trump's military strategy may have empowered hardliners rather than weakened the regime. Finally, Donny and David tackle the alarming rise of antisemitism — why it's a symptom of civilizational decay, the role of social media in accelerating hate, what federal policy could actually help, and what King Charles got right that American political leaders are getting wrong.

The prospect of procuring steady production assets at reasonable prices has been spurring interest in the Anadarko Basin. In the past few weeks, two privately held producers closed on deals totaling more than $4 billion, with another $1-billion-plus agreement announced this month. What's going on?

America is a land dotted with so-called “company towns” – population centers where a single business or industry dominates not only the local economy, but government and community ethos as well. But what happens when a town and an industry in decline part ways, leaving it to local government and leadership to take up the slack? Hoover fellow Elizabeth Mitchell Edler discusses what transpired in those portions of America (Appalachia and the Midwest) once dominated by a since-diminished coal industry and the lack of institutional confidence that followed – her interviews, polling and data research chronicled in her new book, Company Towns: Industry Power and the Historical Foundations of Public Mistrust. Recorded on May 4, 2026.

Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary and King Coffey trace the band's unlikely major label journey — from America's top-grossing indie act to MTV hitmakers to a lost album finally resurrected after nearly three decades. Preorder "After the Astronaut" LP here Topics Include: After the Astronaut releases June 26 after sitting unreleased for 28 years. Capitol signed Butthole Surfers when they were America's top-grossing indie band. Label president Hale Milgram believed in them; his firing changed everything. Pepper was written on the spot after a producer demanded one more song. Pepper won radio call-in polls for a month and played MTV hourly. The hit turned them into a "follow-up band," which was never their thing. John Paul Jones produced Worm Saloon and taught Paul Leary how to produce. Jones and the band shared a Lagavulin obsession, running up a $20,000 scotch bill. Capitol's big budgets contrasted sharply with Touch and Go's approach. After the Astronaut was a deliberate return to experimental, art-school Butthole Surfers DNA. Mark Ryden painted the original cover; getting dropped handed it to Marcy Playground. Declining a Hellraiser soundtrack placement created the first real rift with Capitol. Their manager's heroin relapse coincided with the band getting dropped mid-promo cycle. Promo cassettes already pressed now sell for $800–$1,000 on the secondary market. Hollywood Records funded Weird Revolution; Rob Cavallo showed up once a week for ten minutes. Finding two-inch master tapes in a storage locker triggered the After the Astronaut remix. Documentary The Whole Truth and Nothing But took director Tom Stern five years to make. Rob Reiner called it one of the best music docs ever — hours before his murder. A potential box set looms, but Paul prefers naps, his cat, and his bicycle.

Teachers’ Unions as Political Power Brokers Major teachers’ unions (e.g., NEA, AFT) have contributed over $1 billion to left‑wing political causes over the past decade. This funding overwhelmingly supports Democratic candidates, progressive activism, and ideological causes unrelated to education. Education System as Ideological Indoctrination Unions have shifted from focusing on education (reading, writing, math) to political indoctrination of students. Declining academic performance is linked to this ideological focus rather than educational reform. Coerced Union Participation Teachers are forced to contribute union dues and face professional consequences if they dissent, framing this as coercive or unethical. Link Between Education, Ideology, and Political Violence Left‑leaning control of education has normalized hatred of conservatives, Christians, and Donald Trump. There is a direct causal line between: union political spending, ideological education, polling data suggesting some Democrats justify political violence, and alleged assassination attempts on Donald Trump. Normalization of Political Violence 25% of Democrats believe political violence can be justified. This reflects a broader cultural shift allegedly driven by education and political messaging. Democratic Strategy Framing Democrats deliberately pursued a “long game” by controlling education from elementary school through universities to shape future voters. Education institutions are culture‑shaping tools rather than neutral public services. Call to Parental Action This is a warning to parents for continued and increased involvement in school boards. This activism is a response to loss of trust, lack of accountability, and ideological overreach. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
