Michael Shermer sits down with Charles Murray (author of The Bell Curve, Coming Apart, and now Taking Religion Seriously) for a riveting 100-minute conversation about Murray's late-life turn from Harvard-bred agnosticism (“Smart people don't believe that stuff anymore”) to Bayesian theism (“I put the afterlife at just over 50%”). This wide-ranging discussion explores the evidence for the existence of God and the afterlife, the problem of evil, and the historical growth of Christianity. They also delve into topics such as the nature of consciousness, terminal lucidity, and even evolutionary vs. religious perspectives on love. A thought-provoking exploration for skeptics, seekers, and anyone wondering whether the universe has a purpose. Charles Murray is a policy analyst educated at Harvard and MIT and currently serves as the Hayek Emeritus Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He is the author of several influential books, including the controversial The Bell Curve, Coming Apart, and Facing Reality. His most recent book is Taking Religion Seriously.

Every soul we meet carries a message. Some appear for a fleeting moment, others stay for a season, and a rare few walk beside us for a lifetime. In this solo episode, we explore the beauty and meaning of the “passersby” in our lives — how brief encounters, seasonal companions, and lifelong relationships shape who we are.Drawing from real-life examples, timeless wisdom, and the longest-running Harvard study on happiness, this episode reminds us that no crossing is random. Every meeting is sacred. Every person is a mirror, a teacher, or a gift.✨ Listen in to reflect on:Why strangers and brief encounters matter more than we realiseThe seasonal people who show up just when we need them mostThe lifelong companions who anchor our joy and well-beingHow to see yourself as a passerby in someone else's storyTakeaway: Cherish each encounter. Appreciate the lessons.

In this episode, you'll discover how to build and keep momentum so that you can build a great life and share it with others.  Ready to put your success on autopilot? Listen now! Show Highlights Include: How “Aristotle's Way” lets you develop good habits to fast-track success in your work (even if you're feeling unproductive). (2:19) The sneaky way excuses and distractions keep you from doing your work - and how to eliminate those barriers to finish all the tasks on your list. (3:57) How success turns people into arrogant bums - and how to accomplish your wildest dreams without losing your humility. (6:45) Why friction keeps you from gaining momentum and sabotages your relationships and your career. (7:23) The Harvard study that shows how vacation time, bonuses and raises can slow down your career progress (and why you need forward progress in your work to “unlock” momentum).

Epstein is reported to have advised clients on deploying GRATs (Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts)—an estate planning vehicle that lets ultra-wealthy individuals pass appreciating assets to heirs while minimizing gift and estate taxes. Analysts say Epstein used his proximity to billionaires and his aura of financial wizardry to pitch these sophisticated tax-avoidance schemes. The strategy exploits a loophole in U.S. tax law: during the trust's term, the grantor retains annuity payments, and if the trust's investments outperform the assumed IRS rate, the excess passes to beneficiaries tax-free. Epstein's involvement with GRATs even drew Senate scrutiny after it emerged he helped clients like Leon Black and possibly Sergey Brin structure trust arrangements.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, Lyle and Meghan sit down with bestselling author Alyson Richman to talk about her haunting new novel, The Missing Pages. Set inside Harvard's Widener Library, the book reimagines the story of Harry Elkins Widener—a real-life Titanic passenger and rare book collector—who lingers as a ghost among his treasured collection. We explore the real history behind Harry's tragic death, the campus lore surrounding Widener Library, and how Alyson blended love, grief, and the supernatural into a powerful ghost story. Plus, we dig into Titanic legends, the quiet eeriness of libraries at night, and what Harry himself might say if he could read the book written about him.

What if capitalism itself is confusing your personal finance decisions? In this week's episode, Harvard economist John Y. Campbell joins us to unpack his new book, Fixed: Why Personal Finance Is Broken and How to Make It Work for Everyone, co-authored with Tarun Ramadorai. John argues that the financial system—while essential—is failing ordinary people through complexity, hidden costs, and misplaced incentives. Drawing on decades of research in household finance, he explains why products are too expensive, advice too conflicted, and decisions too difficult, and how policy and design can fix it. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:04) Introduction – Rational Reminder's focus on sensible investing and decision-making. (1:46) Why Canadian finance feels broken: complexity, branding, and lack of competition. (4:53) Introducing John Y. Campbell and his new book Fixed. (5:43) The role of the financial system in everyday life: smoothing income, enabling investment, and managing risk. (7:14) The two main problems in modern finance—products are too complicated and too expensive. (9:17) Why financial decisions are so hard: our brains didn't evolve for math, and temptation bias wins. (11:36) How far financial literacy education really helps—and its limits for inequality. (14:26) The “corruption of capitalism”: how capitalists exploit consumer confusion and misperceived value. (18:15) Cross-subsidies: how the mistakes of the poor often subsidize the wealthy. (21:05) Competition only works when consumers can compare price and quality. (22:15) Financial innovation—when technology helps vs. when it deceives. (24:24) Conflicts of interest in advice: why “trusted” advisors often don't act in clients' best interests. (26:26) Why loyal, long-term bank customers often get worse deals. (27:20) The illusion of opting out: why avoiding finance (or choosing crypto) is “jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.” (30:24) The global emergency-savings problem—why volatility hits the poor hardest. (32:26) Is college worth it? Returns, costs, and who actually benefits. (35:47) How to think rationally about buying versus renting a home. (38:16) Housing in retirement—why reverse mortgages make sense but are misunderstood. (40:25) Mortgage mistakes: not shopping, not refinancing, and the racial gap that results. (44:41) Using utility theory to make better insurance and investment choices. (46:55) Principles for investing in stocks: participate, diversify, minimize fees, and ignore short-term noise. (48:24) How real investor behavior deviates from these principles—chasing returns and confusing investing with gambling. (51:17) Insurance mistakes: overinsuring small risks, underinsuring big ones. (54:11) How much to save for retirement—and how most people fall short. (55:40) Lifecycle investing: why target-date funds are good but could be better. (57:56) Why annuities make sense, and how better framing could make them more popular. (59:30) Technology's double edge: lower costs but higher temptation and discrimination. (1:02:17) Lessons from crypto: why stablecoins matter and what regulators should learn. (1:05:26) From nudge to shove: how governments should actively design simpler, safer products. (1:10:02) Where regulation goes too far—and why governments shouldn't run finance directly. (1:13:10) Priority areas for reform: retirement accounts, transaction accounts, and insurance. (1:14:49) The four design principles for a better system: simple, cheap, safe, easy.

Loneliness among men has reached crisis levels, but there are ways to change this. If you've been feeling alone, are tired of surface-level conversations, or unsure how to find men who can be real, honest friends, this conversation will give you tangible ways to connect — one walk, one conversation, or one man at a time. In this episode I talk with Jonathan Jacobs, founder of the L.A. chapter of Walking Talking Men, about how intentional time and connection can be simple, and create a foundation of real friendship. We explore why so many men struggle to build close friendships, how vulnerability becomes strength, and why deeper relationships are the key to men's emotional and physical health (as proven by the famous Harvard study on happiness).

Deep in an Australian rainforest, surrounded by birds older than any cathedral, We unpack one of the greatest mysteries in human history, how the first people to sail across open seas, 60,000 years ago, became a civilisation that forgot how to sail. The Aboriginal Australians, the oldest continuous culture on Earth, arrived when Europe was still under ice. They built languages older than Latin, mapped deserts the size of continents, and thrived for 99.7% of Australia's human history before a single European set foot here. Then, in just decades, 90% of them were gone, wiped out not by conquest, but by microbes. From this collision of worlds, we explore what makes societies innovate, why isolation freezes progress while connection multiplies it. Drawing on Harvard anthropologist Joseph Henrich's idea of the collective brain, they trace how collaboration fuels invention, from the first tools to AI. The episode arcs from the Aboriginal sailors who crossed 100 miles of open water before anyone else, to the Nobel Prize winners studying the alchemy of innovation, and ends with Ireland's own late awakening from creative isolation.

Seattle spends more than $1.2 billion each year on public education, nearly the same as running the entire city. So why do so few people know where that money goes, or who's actually in charge of it?   In this episode of Right in Front of My Face, I sit down with Vivian Song, candidate for Seattle School Board District 5, to talk about how local politics directly shape our schools, and why most of us aren't paying enough attention.   I'll be honest: I didn't think I'd ever get this invested in local education policy. But the more I've learned through this podcast, the more I realize how deeply city culture, education, and accountability are intertwined. With a $1.2 billion budget nearly equal to that of Seattle's entire city government, the Seattle Public School system has enormous influence, and yet, shockingly little oversight.   Vivian and I dig into the Student Outcomes Focused Governance model, how it's changed school board oversight, and what happens when financial committees disappear. We also talk about what accountability really looks like, how to rebuild public trust, and why marketing might actually be one of the smartest tools for saving public schools.   This conversation made me think differently about how education works and how my vote connects to it all. No matter where your kids go to school (or if you have kids at all), this episode is for anyone who cares about how our community's future is being shaped.   Topics Covered: Why local elections matter more than you think The $1.2 billion question: who's watching Seattle's school budget? Understanding Student Outcomes Focused Governance How public education decisions affect everyone—even private school families Lessons from Vivian's first term and why she's running again The importance of transparency, community trust, and clear communication How public schools can regain enrollment and rebuild confidence The role of AI and technology in shaping the future of education About the Guest: Vivian Song is a Harvard graduate, finance professional, and former Seattle School Board Director now running for District 5. A parent of four, she's passionate about public education, fiscal accountability, and ensuring equitable opportunities for every student in Seattle. https://www.songforseattleschools.com   You can find me on Instagram @rightinfrontofmyface or send me a note at rightinfrontofmyface@gmail.com.   If this conversation hit home for you, please share it with a friend and leave a review.

Convidado: Oliver Stuenkel, professor de Relações Internacionais da FGV, pesquisador da Universidade de Harvard e do Carnegie Endowment. Nepal, Madagascar, Quênia, Marrocos, Peru, Indonésia... Manifestações lideradas por jovens da geração Z – nascidos da metade de 1990 até o início da década de 2010 - têm se espalhado pelo mundo. No Nepal e em Madagascar, a onda de manifestações derrubou os governos. No Peru, o presidente recém-empossado decretou 30 dias de emergência em meio à onda de violência. Motivados por diferentes razões, todos estes protestos têm presença maciça de jovens descontentes com as elites políticas e econômicas, em um cenário de “pessimismo palpável” que impulsiona mobilizações. É o que explica Oliver Stuenkel em conversa com Natuza Nery neste episódio. Oliver fala como a geração Z tem a percepção de que as elites políticas estão “desconectadas” dos problemas reais do dia a dia da população. Professor de Relações Internacionais da FGV, pesquisador da Universidade de Harvard e do Carnegie Endowment, nos EUA, Oliver avalia o que une esses jovens em diferentes pontos do mundo. “Todos eles têm pautas em comum, o que explica o uso de símbolos parecidos”, diz, ao citar o uso da bandeira pirata da série de anime “One Piece”. Oliver destaca o papel fundamental das redes sociais para a organização e espalhamento dos protestos. E reflete sobre o risco de avanço autoritário, ao citar o caso de Madagascar, onde as manifestações derrubaram o governo, mas um coronel do Exército assumiu o poder.

In July 2025, researchers discovered an interstellar object entering our solar system. It's only the third we've detected – ever – and it's been dubbed Comet 3I/ATLAS. NASA says it does not pose a threat to us. But one Harvard scientist suggests 3I/ATLAS isn't necessarily a comet – there are too many anomalies. He says, this object may not be natural…it might be alien technology. Keep up with Conspiracy Theories!

Today we discuss Harvard, higher ed, public health, AI, and political cheating. Harvard has announced the suspension of several graduate programs, as well as hiring and other budget freezes, claiming poverty due to the suspension of federal grants. But Harvard's revenue last year was $6.7 billion, and their losses amount to 1.7% of that. Meanwhile, Trump wants Harvard to run trade schools. Then: vaccinologist Paul Offit admits that natural immunity was always superior to vaccine-induced immunity—if you survived the infection—but that this was not a matter of public health policy because Americans couldn't handle the nuance. And: Google's AI fabricated a criminal history, and is now being sued. Finally: how you voted is visible on your mail-in ballot in some counties in California.*****Our sponsors:Caraway: Non-toxic, beautiful, light ceramic cookware.

Today, we have another episode in a series of conversations with experts and highly vetted companies. In this episode, we feature CocoaVia, a brand of cocoa flavanol supplements made from a proprietary cocoa extract that aims to support cognition and heart health. I am delighted to welcome Dr. Amy Shah, who trained at Cornell, Harvard, and Columbia. Dr. Shah is a well-known expert on metabolic health and intermittent fasting. With a background in internal medicine, allergies, and immunology, she has helped many patients transform their health with cutting-edge nutritional and medical science.  In our conversation, we explore cocoa flavanols, explaining what they are, their benefits, and how they work mechanistically. We discuss how perimenopause and menopause can lead to endothelial dysfunction due to low sex hormones, and the effects of lifestyle factors like circadian rhythm alignment. Dr. Shah shares foods she finds particularly helpful for middle-aged women and reviews the research on cocoa flavanols. We also cover the impact of cocoa flavanols on health span, longevity, and brain health, including improvements in memory, word recall, and spatial reasoning, and Dr. Shah offers guidance on supporting the maturation and health of teens and young adults. Today's conversation with Dr. Shah is practical and evidence-based. I also share how cocoa flavanols have helped my younger son's focus and attention, and how my husband and I use these products in our daily lives. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How cocoa flavanols support heart health, brain health, and longevity Why nitric oxide production matters for vascular flexibility, especially in perimenopause How circadian rhythm optimization improves energy, mood, and metabolic health Why introducing fiber and probiotic foods slowly may be necessary for gut adaptation How cocoa flavanols and other bioactives can enhance health span and lifespan The importance of selecting the right supplement quality and dose to prevent ineffectiveness or excess How cocoa flavanols can improve cognition, memory, and brain function over 8–12 weeks Why natural drinks (coffee, cocoa flavanols) are far better than energy drinks or caffeine for teens How combining core lifestyle habits with targeted bioactive compounds supports long-term health and longevity Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Amy Shah On her website CocoaVia

Why do people refuse to say what they see, and, what everyone knows…whether or not they're willing to acknowledge it? Is there some benefit to keeping quiet, adhering to the “unwritten rules,” and, is there a time and place to break tradition? Today, I'm joined by Harvard professor, Dr. Steven Pinker to answer these questions. We also discuss the difference between common knowledge and common wisdom, whether or not it's hypocrisy to stay quiet about the unwritten rules, when to be radically honest or complacently quiet, how to judge risk in your honesty, how the “Abeline Paradox” will serve you, and the importance of male initiation. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Welcome and introduction to Steven Pinker 00:45 – Defining “common knowledge” vs. “common sense” 03:11 – “Don't ask, don't tell” and social hypocrisy 07:46 – Cultural shifts and the meaning of hypocrisy 09:41 – Morality, religion, and policy contradictions 11:21 – Hidden hypocrisies: paper bags and escort services 14:07 – How common knowledge shapes power (Taiwan example) 17:05 – “Coming out” and the social costs of honesty 20:10 – Honesty vs. tact in relationships 23:13 – Learning social nuance: autism and empathy 31:00 – Layers of communication and meaning 34:50 – The Abilene paradox and pluralistic ignorance 38:02 – How silence empowers repression 42:42 – Conformity and social conditioning 44:06 – Building virtuous influence as men 47:22 – Civilizing young men and the role of masculinity 51:48 – The crisis of modern manhood 54:08 – Ruthless honesty with compassion (closing) Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

This special episode of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson features our most requested guest: Hoover senior fellow and acclaimed economist and author Dr. Thomas Sowell. But rather than discussing Sowell's many books, this conversation explores the full arc of Sowell's life — from his childhood, along a dirt road in North Carolina, through his years in Harlem, the Marine Corps, Harvard, and ultimately to his long tenure at the Hoover Institution. Through rich storytelling and candid reflection, Sowell recounts his early struggles and triumphs: growing up in poverty yet surrounded by love, discovering books and ideas in a Harlem library, working his way through school and menial jobs, and eventually earning degrees from Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago. Along the way, he shares how experience and evidence—not ideology—shaped his transformation from a young Marxist to one of America's most influential champions of free markets and individual responsibility. The interview reveals the wit, humility, and intellectual rigor behind the man who has spent decades challenging conventional wisdom. From tales of family and resilience to his enduring skepticism of government programs, Sowell's reflections illuminate a life defined by hard work, empirical reasoning, and independence of mind. This is Thomas Sowell's American story—told in his own words. Recorded on December 19, 2024. Subscribe to Uncommon Knowledge at hoover.org/uk

In this episode, Harvard primatologist Christine Webb challenges one of our deepest beliefs: that humans stand apart from the rest of nature. She traces the roots of human exceptionalism from Aristotle and Descartes to modern science, and explains why we still cling to hierarchies of intelligence. While most critiques of human exceptionalism focus on our moral obligation toward other species, Webb argues that they overlook what humanity stands to gain by letting go of its illusions of uniqueness and superiority. Christine Webb is a primatologist at Harvard's Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, with expertise in social behavior, cognition, and emotion. Her new book is The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why it Matters.

It's a rapid-fire round of weird on Strange Brew. Drinks: 1792 Cognac and crack open a few Spotted Cows. From the haunted stacks of Hull Public Library to the mournful Gray Lady of Liberty Hall, the guys swap ghost stories that blur history and haunting. Then the conversation shoots into orbit with talk of 3I/ATLAS: the interstellar object some Harvard minds think could be an alien probe. And just when you think the night's winding down, Wisconsin's own Beast of Bray Road lopes out of the dark to remind everyone that the Midwest has its monsters too.

The swiftness and severity with which the Trump Administration has tried to impose its will on higher education came as a shock to many, not least university presidents and faculties from Harvard to U.C.L.A. But for conservatives this arena of cultural conflict has been a long time coming. The staff writer Emma Green has been speaking with influential figures in the current Administration as well as in the larger conservative movement about how they mapped out this battle for Donald Trump's return to power. “There's a recognition among the people that I interviewed,” Green tells David Remnick, “that the Administration cannot come in and script to universities: this is what you will teach and this is the degrees that you will offer, and just script it from top to bottom. First of all, that would be not legally possible. And it also, I think in some ways, violates core instincts that conservatives have around academic freedom, because a lot of these people have been on élite campuses and had the experience of being told that their views weren't acceptable.” Green also speaks with James Kvaal, an education official who served in both the Biden and Obama Administrations, and May Mailman, a conservative education-policy activist who worked in the Trump White House and coördinated its attacks against universities. “When you have federal grants, you do not need to be funding racism and racial hierarchies and violence and harassment,” Mailman told Green. “I think that line is: do what you wanna do, but we don't want to have to fund it.” Emma Green's “Inside the Trump Administration's Assault on Higher Education” was published on October 13, 2025.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Smarter, Stronger, Sharper – How to Measure and Improve Your Brain Health What if your brain had a dashboard that told you exactly how well it was performing before you hit burnout, before focus fades, and before your memory starts to slip? In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the cutting edge science that is reshaping how we understand brain health. You will discover how researchers like Dr. Evelyne Bischof, a Harvard and Columbia trained longevity physician, are using data, AI, and neuroscience to measure brain performance in real time and even predict cognitive decline before it begins. Forget the old idea that your brain is static or unchangeable. Today, science can track everything from your biological brain age to your daily cognitive resilience and even show you how small lifestyle shifts can rewire your mind for greater clarity, energy, and focus. If you have ever wondered why some people stay sharp under pressure while others burn out, or how technology is helping us see what is happening inside the brain long before symptoms appear, this episode will change how you think about mental performance and longevity. Tune in because the future of brain health is not about reacting to problems, it is about measuring, training, and optimizing the most powerful system you have. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Brain health should be treated the same way we approach physical fitness or financial well-being: measurable, trackable, and provable." "Your chronological age is what your driver's license says. Your biological brain age is how old your brain acts." "The brain doesn't know the difference between a good habit and a bad habit — it just knows habit."

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Tough Questions for Christians” as we welcomed Rebecca McLaughlin to answer questions about how Jesus' love addresses homophobia and sexism. Rebecca holds a PhD in Renaissance Literature from Cambridge University and a theology degree from Oak Hill College in London. She has also written the book, “Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion,” which was named Book of the Year by Christianity Today. Then we had Dr. Bill West join us to discuss the intersection and contradictions between faith and science. Dr. West, a Harvard and Johns Hopkins-trained oncologist and researcher, has advanced cancer care and research for over three decades. He has lectured for more than forty years on the myth of science and faith being at odds, believing they support one another and that science reveals God. He has also written a book called “Sacred Science: Understanding Divine Creation.” We also had Dr. Mark Jobe join us to talk about “Founders Week”, a week of Bible teaching and a time of worship for the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). Dr. Jobe is the 10th President of MBI and the founding Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago, as well as the founder of New Life Centers. He is also a graduate of Moody Theological Seminary and the host of the radio show "Bold Steps, " which airs every weekday at 1 pm on 90.1 FM Moody Radio.

The legends of vampires extend far beyond Romania and Stoker's "Dracula." Most are based on five major pillars: misunderstandings of decomposition and death, porphyria, rabies, improper burials, and either accidents or grave disturbances. The majority of these monsters can be repelled by garlic since it kills bacteria, fungus, and the like, including parasites. In some cases the vampire consumes only life force, as in China, though the idea of Qi or Prana (India), is found within the vital life-carrying substance of blood itself. Interestingly, researcher have found that blood does in fact carry the literal ability of rejuvenating the old, something reported by Stanford and Harvard. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Harvard Associate Professor of the History of Science Dr. Eram Alam has just published "The Care of Foreigners: How Immigrant Physicians Changed U.S. Healthcare." Her extensive research revealed that, over decades, foreign medical graduates (FMGs) have become a sizeable and stable part of the U.S. physician workforce--at least a quarter since 1965. Their presence has shaped aspects of healthcare delivery, especially in underserved areas. But also, their presence raises questions about responsibility: what does it mean for U.S. healthcare to be so dependent on immigrant labor? What are the costs--to the physicians, to their home countries--to the idea of "universal" or equitable care?

The swiftness and severity with which the Trump Administration has tried to impose its will on higher education came as a shock to many, not least university presidents and faculties from Harvard to U.C.L.A. But for conservatives this arena of cultural conflict has been a long time coming. The staff writer Emma Green has been speaking with influential figures in the current Administration as well as in the larger conservative movement about how they mapped out this battle for Donald Trump's return to power. “There's a recognition among the people that I interviewed,” Green tells David Remnick, “that the Administration cannot come in and script to universities: this is what you will teach and this is the degrees that you will offer, and just script it from top to bottom. First of all, that would be not legally possible. And it also, I think in some ways, violates core instincts that conservatives have around academic freedom, because a lot of these people have been on élite campuses and had the experience of being told that their views weren't acceptable.” Green also speaks with James Kvaal, an education official who served in both the Biden and Obama Administrations, and May Mailman, a conservative education-policy activist who worked in the Trump White House and coördinated its attacks against universities. “When you have federal grants, you do not need to be funding racism and racial hierarchies and violence and harassment,” Mailman told Green. “I think that line is: do what you wanna do, but we don't want to have to fund it.” Emma Green's “Inside the Trump Administration's Assault on Higher Education” was published on October 13, 2025.

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump's Nobel campaign tour continues: he's meeting Zelensky at the White House today, fresh off a “productive” call with Putin and plans to see him soon in Budapest. Meanwhile, former national security adviser John Bolton was indicted on 18 counts for allegedly keeping and sharing over a thousand pages of classified info with relatives — which were later hacked by Iran-linked actors. The Wall Street Journal says Trump's next target is the IRS, with plans to redirect its muscle toward investigating left-leaning groups and major Democratic donors. Shutdown side effects keep piling up — the New York Times found $28 billion in federal project funding frozen in blue districts versus just $739 million in red ones.In other news, Harvard reported a $113 million operating loss, its first in years, after federal funding fell and costs rose (though donor gifts hit a record $629 million and its endowment swelled to $57 billion). Trump also wined and dined corporate giants like Palantir, Meta, and Google to raise $250 million for his new White House ballroom, while Illinois Governor JB Pritzker casually declared $1.4 million in blackjack winnings. And in Madagascar, Gen Z protesters ousted their president, who fled to Dubai, leaving a military colonel promising elections “within two years.” Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: WSJ: Trump Says He Will Meet With Putin in Budapest to Discuss End to Ukraine War AP News: Donald Trump's former adviser John Bolton indicted WSJ: Trump Team Plans IRS Overhaul to Enable Pursuit of Left-Leaning Groups NYT: Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown Axios: Harvard posts biggest operating loss in 14 years as Trump cuts bite WSJ: Trump Hosts Corporate Ballroom Donors at Glitzy White House Dinner WSJ: Billionaire Gov.
