Podcasts about Deregulation

This week, we're taking a deep dive into the fight over using reconciliation to delist silencers from the National Firearms Act (NFA). The House included a provision to eliminate the tax on firearm silencers/suppressors and one to completely remove them from the NFA's purview. But that wasn't without controversy, and the Senate is now taking up the bill. That's why we've got Knox Williams, the head of the American Suppressor Association, on the show to update us on where things are headed. Williams said there was a meeting between gun-rights activists and Senate staffers this week that left him confident they have a good chance of getting everything they want. He said Republicans were on board with the argument that silencers can be fully delisted because the NFA is a tax at its core. Still, there is a lot of uncertainty about how the parliamentarian will rule on the delisting. Williams agreed that the tax cut is seen as a sure bet. However, he said there's a strong chance delisting gets through, too. Special Guest: Knox Williams.

Shadow Minister for Productivity and Deregulation, Andrew Bragg, has slammed the Prime Minister's newly announced 'Productivity Roundtable' as a mere "talk-fest" that feels like "pushing the problem down the road."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For decades, the American right has stayed on brand: the economy. Low taxes. Free markets. Deregulation. Those have been the buzzwords for more than half a century. But that doctrine is now being challenged by other conservatives who envision a future in which America's trade deficit is lower, manufacturing returns to the US, and Americans buy more American-made products. Is this future even possible? Economist Oren Cass thinks it is. In today's episode, the founder of the think tank America Compass speaks to Sean about right-wing economic populism. The two discuss a conservative, pro-worker approach to economic policy, Cass's plan to bring manufacturing back to the US, and what types of behavior economic policy should incentivize.

Paul Schatz makes the case for deregulation, arguing it will stimulate the economy – though how much is unknown, especially because he thinks the Fed should've cut rates back in March. “We get past tariffs, there's good stuff coming down out of D.C.” He declares, “Inflation's dead,” and is bullish on bonds. His stock picks include American Water (AWK) and Starbucks (SBUX), calling Brian Niccol the Jamie Dimon of food.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Is green a red and blue construct? Put another way, is there a political partisan divide over the environment? That's a particularly interesting question, no doubt more so in recent years as the country seems to have drifted farther and farther apart because of our political beliefs. To that point, a reader reached out the other day to say our stories shouldn't be negative on the Trump Administration because the national parks are going to need the help of all of us - Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and everything in-between - to survive. But are environmental issues highly partisan? For the Traveler's purpose, we'll define “environmental issues” as those focused on public lands, wildlife, clean air, clean water, and of course the national parks. To help us try to answer that question, our guest today is Caleb Scoville, a professor at Tufts University who has received an Andrew Carnegie fellowship to explore that question.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the ins and outs of the silencer deregulation provisions included in the budget package just passed by the US House. We explain what they would mean for gun owners and what political hurdles still remain before they can become law. We also cover the Supreme Court's latest case decisions, including its recent rejection of a whole host of pending challenges to the federal gun ban for non-violent felons. Finally, we break down the DOJ's recent settlement over forced reset triggers and other gun stories from outside The Reload.

एक गणतंत्र में संविधान के ज़रिये सरकार की शक्ति पर रोक लगायी जाती है, पर भारत में हम देखते हैं कि अक्सर होता इससे ठीक उल्टा है। सरकार ही भारतीय नागरिकों पर इतनी रोक लगाती है कि पूछो ही मत। और हम नागरिकों को भी इसकी इतनी आदत पड़ चुकी है कि हम पूछते भी नहीं कि ये नियम हम पर क्यों लगाए जा रहे हैं। प्रणय ने तो बेकार नियमों के इस जाल को सरकार का चंगुल कहा है।खैर, अच्छी बात ये है कि अब सरकार ने भी इस चंगुल को पहचाना है और इसके लिए डिरेगुलेशन कमिशन की घोषणा भी हुई है, पर ये डिरेगुलेशन कैसा होना चाहिए? या प्रणय के शब्दों में कहे तो इस चंगुलतोड़ का क्या फ्रेमवर्क होना चाहिए? इसी पर होगी आज की चर्चा।We discuss:* Reducing Government Control* Why do we have so much regulation?* There are no limits on regulation* Govt should have to present a deregulation statement to the Legislative* Steering function should be separated from Rowing function* Open up service delivery to private players* Cost-benefit analysis before introducing new restrictions* Why do Indian firms remain small?* How to deregulate Firms?* How to deregulate our Cities?* Deregulating human capitalAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Read:Substack | India Policy Watch: A Deregulation Agenda by Pranay KotasthaneBook | Banishing Bureaucracy: The Five Strategies for Reinventing Government by David Osborne and Peter PlastrikRelated episodes:फैक्ट्री बनाने के दुखड़े। How Poor Building Standards Hurt Indian Firms ft.

While state officials and legislators have positioned Texas to be “the bitcoin mining capital of the world,” in small towns like Granbury, working-class residents living next to giant, loud, environmentally destructive data centers are the ones paying the price for Texas's crypto boom. “None of us are sleeping,” Cheryl Shadden, a Granbury resident who lives across the street from a 300-megawatt bitcoin mining data center owned by Marathon Digital, tells TRNN. “We can't get rid of this alien invasion in our homes…This is like being a prisoner of war. It's like being tortured with loud sounds and bright lights and being sleep deprived.” In this episode of Working People, we dive deeper into the reality of living next to crypto mining data centers like the one in Granbury, the unseen threats they pose to human and nonhuman life, and what residents in Granbury are doing to fight back.

Experts urge local initiatives to set ethical boundaries before it's too late.AI Still Can't Read the Room—And That's a ProblemAI might ace your emails, but it still flunks social cues. Marketplace dives into why bots struggle with tone, sarcasm, and emotional nuance—things humans pick up instantly. As AI enters workplaces and classrooms, its lack of emotional smarts could cause real misunderstandings. Bottom line: empathy isn't something you can code (yet).MyPillow's AI Legal Brief Backfires—Now Lawyers Face the HeatMyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's legal team used AI to draft a court filing—and it flopped hard. The brief was riddled with nearly 30 fake or misquoted citations, prompting a judge to consider disciplinary action. The lawyers blamed a “drafting mix-up,” but the court isn't buying it. Lesson: always fact-check your robot.Trump's First 100 Days: Stargate, Deregulation, and Meme WarsTrump's back in office and going full send on AI. He launched Stargate—a $500B mega-project with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank—to build massive U.S. data centers. He also scrapped Biden's AI rules, pushing for less regulation and more “America First” tech.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Despite loud claims from the political left that Republican leadership is bad for the economy, the evidence shows that pro-business policies are producing results. Deregulation and tax incentives have encouraged corporations to reinvest at home rather than ship jobs overseas.

“I would like to see Texas become the center of the universe for bitcoin and crypto,” US Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in 2021. In 2024, Republican Governor Greg Abbott said Texas “wears the crown as the bitcoin mining capital of the world.” But in small towns like Granbury, TX, about an hour southwest of Fort Worth, residents are the ones paying the price for Texas's crypto boom. A 300-megawatt bitcoin mine, which is owned by Marathon Digital, a Florida-based cryptocurrency company, uses a mix of liquid immersion and industrial fans to prevent over 20,000 computers from overheating. Many residents say that it's the constant sound from those fans that has made life increasingly unbearable in their small town—and that their concerns are going ignored by the company and government officials. In this episode of Working People, we speak with four residents of Granbury living near the Marathon bitcoin mine: Danny Lakey, Karen Pearson, Nick Browning, and Virginia Browning.Additional links/info:Protect Hood County websiteAndrew R.

In President Donald Trump's recent joint address to Congress, he said, "To unshackle our economy, I have directed that for every one new regulation, ten old regulations must be eliminated." Elon Musk, whom Trump has assigned to execute this vision, has argued that it is time to get rid of all regulations, or as Musk said, “regulations, basically, should be default gone.”Joining Bethany and Luigi to discuss this intensified commitment to deregulation and laissez-faire capitalism is Sam Peltzman, perhaps the leading living expert on the economics of regulation. Peltzman is the Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business and director emeritus of the Stigler Center, which sponsors this podcast and is named after his mentor, Nobel-Prize laureate George Stigler. Together, the three of them chart a historical perspective on regulation, from Stigler's ideas of regulatory capture to the unintended consequences of deregulatory efforts over time to today's “chainsaw” approach to gutting federal agencies. To understand the costs and benefits of regulation, they discuss how federal agencies have recently intervened in markets, if the private sector could not have accomplished these interventions more efficiently, and if these interventions did more harm than good. Their case studies include the funding, testing, and rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, the regulation of cryptocurrencies, the management of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and the role of the government in addressing climate change. In the process, they answer the trillion-dollar question: Are Trump's deregulation efforts actually efficient?Episode Notes:Revisit our recent episode with Federico Sturzenegger, the Argentinian Minister for State Transformation and DeregulationRead the op-ed Bethany mentions writing in the wake of the financial crisis: Who Wants a 30-Year Mortgage?At the end of the conversation with Peltzman, Luigi asks him about his recent academic papers tracing marriage and happiness. Read these papers on the Stigler Center's Working Paper archives: The Socio-Political Demography of Happiness (2023) and The Anatomy of Marital Happiness (2025)

The conversation covers various political topics, including President Trump's media engagements, border security achievements, visa policies, government funding disputes, Greenland's political landscape, media accountability, and the cultural impact of memes in politics. Each segment delves into the implications of these issues on national security, political communication, and public perception.
