Original Sin recounts a number of moments during which former President Joe Biden allegedly struggled to recognize the people around him, like close aide Mike Donilon or longtime donor George Clooney. The new book by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson argues that there were two versions of the former president, one "functioning" and one "non-functioning." Biden's inner circle, they say, worked to shield the "non-functioning" version from the American public – and even other White House officials. In today's episode, Tapper and Thompson talk with NPR's Scott Detrow about the book and the Biden team's decision to "cover-up" his alleged mental decline.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In conversation with Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence, he also highlights how the use of AI in lending decision-making may help narrow the SME funding gap. 

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump is getting attacked from all sides of the aisle over his acceptance of a $400 million “flying palace” airplane from the country of Qatar, that far exceeds the legal limits of what a president can accept as a gift. A new poll shows that a staggering number of Americans are opposed to the move, and less than a third are ok with it. But polls don't matter – laws do, and the law is very clear that this is way beyond illegal. During a speech at Georgetown, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts warned that the rule of law in America is “endangered” due to the attacks on the court from a certain someone that Roberts was too scared to mention by name. It was clear that he was referring to Donald Trump even without uttering his name, and he's not wrong about the rule of law being endangered. What he failed to mention, however, is that his own court (Alito and Thomas) are a BIG part of the reason why the rule of law no longer matters. Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz went on Fox News this week and decided to go after his own Party instead of the criminals that are running the country. Moskowitz trashed the Progressive wing of the Party, suggesting that they were too extreme to win in the midterms and suggested a more “moderate” approach. That is EXACTLY why Democrats keep losing to the most corrupt Party in American history, and Moskowitz is now part of that problem. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

Mike Fraietta is Co-Founder of Gargoyle Systems, a leader in drone detection technology that delivers real-time aerial threat intelligence to security professionals, businesses, and homeowners. With advanced detection capabilities and seamless integration, Gargoyle Systems enables proactive protection against unauthorized drone activity. The company is currently building America's first decentralized Drone Intelligence Network—designed to detect and track both “friendly” and hostile aerial activity, providing real-time awareness of unmanned aircraft in the skies. With a background in innovation and systems thinking, Mike was early to recognize the urgent need for smarter, scalable solutions in aerial security as drones proliferate across commercial, consumer, and military sectors. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Mike talks about Gargoyle Systems, their decentralized Drone Intelligence Network, and how individual asset managers can protect against the growing threat of drone-enabled crime. He also shares insights from his recent visit to the Russia-Ukraine border, where he studied evolving “dark” drones, counter-drone technology, and operational training led by the Ukrainian Drone Command.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano tackles three critical issues. First, he analyzes President Trump's high-stakes negotiations aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war, emphasizing the importance of decisive pressure on Putin and how the looming Iran conflict could shape the outcome. Then, he shifts to the controversial saga of Abrego Garcia, examining whether Democrats regret rallying behind a figure now revealed as an alleged human trafficker and serial abuser. Finally, Professor Giordano exposes alarming inaction by the FBI and ICE during a human trafficking incident involving Garcia, contrasting this with their aggressive stance when they target ordinary Americans, including labeling Catholics as domestic threats. Episode Highlights: Trump's peace negotiations with Russia and Ukraine: Why failure could embolden America's adversaries. The dark truth about Abrego Garcia: New revelations expose political miscalculations by Democrats. Federal agencies' alarming inaction on human trafficking compared to their targeting of innocent Americans.

Jeffrey Epstein's “Core Four” referred to the group of women who played key roles in recruiting and managing his trafficking operation. These four women—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—allegedly helped Epstein lure underage girls into his network, scheduling massages that often turned into abuse. **Ghislaine Maxwell**, the most infamous of the group, acted as Epstein's chief recruiter and was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking. **Sarah Kellen**, Epstein's personal assistant, was accused of booking and managing the young girls' schedules, sometimes coercing them into compliance. **Lesley Groff**, another longtime assistant, was described as Epstein's "executive secretary," allegedly facilitating travel and communication for the victims. **Adriana Ross**, a former model, reportedly helped remove evidence from Epstein's properties to avoid law enforcement detection.While Maxwell was convicted, Kellen, Groff, and Ross have denied wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges. Kellen, who changed her name to Sarah Kensington after Epstein's arrest, claimed she was also a victim, groomed into her role from a young age. Groff's legal team has insisted she was unaware of any abuse, despite being named in multiple lawsuits. Ross, who worked as an Epstein housekeeper and was seen in photographs with Maxwell, has remained largely out of the public eye. Prosecutors described these women as essential to Epstein's operations, ensuring a steady supply of victims while maintaining his elaborate trafficking network. However, legal scrutiny has largely focused on Maxwell, leaving questions about whether the other three will ever face consequences.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

“Voice AI isn't here to replace people — it's here to empower them.” — RJ Burnham, Founder, Consig At the inaugural vCon 2025 Conference in Hyannis, RJ Burnham, founder of Consig, sat down with Doug Green of Technology Reseller News to explore the next frontier in voice AI — and why the real opportunity isn't in replacing human teams, but amplifying them. Burnham's deep roots in voice tech go back nearly three decades — from early speech recognition for financial services to launching Consig just last year. Now, he's focused on helping industry-specialized service providers navigate the AI transformation. “There's a lot of buzz around replacing people with AI. But in many industries — from healthcare to automotive — the real value comes from blending technology with human expertise.” Human-AI Collaboration, Not Replacement Burnham sees a clear trend: companies that rely on deep domain expertise are facing disruption from software-first competitors. Voice AI is now capable of more than simple scripts — it can handle complex tasks like appointment rescheduling, payment collection, and post-visit follow-ups. Still, Consig's philosophy is to automate what machines do best, and leave the human connection to experienced staff. One standout example? A healthcare client using Consig to power post-appointment patient interviews — a traditionally people-powered task — now partially automated with voice AI to streamline processes while retaining human empathy where it matters most. Why vCons Matter Burnham also presented on the role of vCons in voice AI, calling them a breakthrough in improving customer experience. "One of the most frustrating moments for any caller is repeating themselves after a handoff. vCons eliminate that," he said. By encapsulating context, transcripts, and metadata, vCons allow seamless transitions between AI and human agents, improving efficiency and satisfaction. “vCons solve the memory problem. No more starting over. That's a game changer for customer experience.” What's Next for Consig Consig offers white-labeled, embeddable solutions to help service providers adopt AI — without becoming tech companies themselves. Burnham's mission: make voice AI accessible, responsible, and industry-aligned. Learn more at: consig.ai

Throughout history, technological revolutions have fundamentally shifted the balance of power in society. The Industrial Revolution created conditions where democracies could flourish for the first time — as nations needed educated, informed, and empowered citizens to deploy advanced technologies and remain competitive.Unfortunately there's every reason to think artificial general intelligence (AGI) will reverse that trend. Today's guest — Tom Davidson of the Forethought Centre for AI Strategy — claims in a new paper published today that advanced AI enables power grabs by small groups, by removing the need for widespread human participation. Links to learn more, video, highlights, and full transcript. https://80k.info/tdAlso: come work with us on the 80,000 Hours podcast team! https://80k.info/workThere are a few routes by which small groups might seize power:Military coups: Though rare in established democracies due to citizen/soldier resistance, future AI-controlled militaries may lack such constraints. Self-built hard power: History suggests maybe only 10,000 obedient military drones could seize power.Autocratisation: Leaders using millions of loyal AI workers, while denying others access, could remove democratic checks and balances.Tom explains several reasons why AI systems might follow a tyrant's orders:They might be programmed to obey the top of the chain of command, with no checks on that power.Systems could contain "secret loyalties" inserted during development.Superior cyber capabilities could allow small groups to control AI-operated military infrastructure.Host Rob Wiblin and Tom discuss all this plus potential countermeasures.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)A major update on the show (00:00:55)How AI enables tiny groups to seize power (00:06:24)The 3 different threats (00:07:42)Is this common sense or far-fetched?

With less than 5 percent of the world's population and almost a quarter of its prisoners, the United States indisputably has a mass incarceration problem. The Constitution contains numerous safeguards that check the state's power to lock people up. Yet since the 1960s, the Supreme Court has repeatedly disregarded these limits, bowing instead to unfounded claims that adherence to the Constitution is incompatible with public safety.In Justice Abandoned, Rachel Barkow highlights six Supreme Court decisions that paved the way for mass incarceration. If the Court were committed to protecting constitutional rights and followed its standard methods of interpretation, none of these cases would have been decided as they were, and punishment in America would look very different than it does today.Barkow shows that sound public policy, fundamental fairness, and the originalist methodology embraced by a majority of sitting justices demands overturning the unconstitutional policies underlying mass incarceration.

Dr. Joel Salinas, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. Julius Bruch, Co-Founder and CEO of Isaac Health, leverage virtual care and home visits to provide proactive, technology-enabled services for early diagnosis and treatment of dementia. Their mission is to reduce barriers to cognitive assessment and improve access to personalized care plans and treatments that can delay brain disease progression. The key is respecting the patient's decisions and building trust with the care team. Joel explains, "The first thing is really just meeting people where they're at. It's so hard to get access to high-quality care due to wait times and geographic reasons. What we're building at Isaac is meant to require zero distance and move a hundred times faster than the current care journey. The other piece is we develop these partnerships where we're much more proactive about identifying changes that someone might be having with memory or thinking. We are looking at risk factors that they may have within their health record and then actually doing some outreach to those who may have some undiagnosed cognitive impairment. Part of the goal here is by meeting people when their symptoms are at their earliest, we have an opportunity of really a golden window of time to be able to bring in interventions that can impact the long-term trajectory of their brain health." Julius elaborates, "We have built a very extensive technology platform that underpins the entire care journey, from identifying and screening patients to diagnosing, treating, and care management, and seeing as you specifically asked about the diagnosis part. So once we've identified that the member is at high risk, we reach out to them and enroll them in one of our programs. The first visit is generally a medical assessment, and we use a neuropsychologist who does that initial assessment. Still, our platform guides that whole interaction to make sure that we collect all the right information in the most efficient way possible. So it's still very much over Zoom because it is the most effective way to get to the information in this population. Our platform supports the whole care flow and makes sure that it's run as efficiently as possible." #IsaacHealth #BrainHealth #DementiaCare #Caregiversupport #GUIDEModel #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity #EarlyDetection #DigitalHealthcare #Telehealth #InnovativeHealthcare #PatientEmpowerment myisaachealth.com Listen to the podcast here

Today, we have a great episode with Andrew Chan from Atas Ventures.Surprise surprise…we're continuing the conversation about the climate tech vibe shift, climate tech 3.0, climate risk…whatever you want to call it. However, our conversation with Andrew Chan of Atas Ventures is a little bit different. Andrew has, from the very beginning, thought about climate investing from first principles, placing profitability and tangible impact at the core of his strategy. He refers to this next wave as "Climate 3.0," an evolution beyond traditional impact investing towards applied technologies like robotics, IoT, and advanced energy solutions.Our conversation today focuses on these themes, including how venture capital can meaningfully intersect with antiquated industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing to drive both profits and genuine environmental outcomes. Andrew also shares why the venture capital playbook may need to evolve, emphasizing smarter portfolio construction, disciplined investing, and leveraging real-world experience to build lasting companies.Overall, it's an amazing episode and we're really excited to share this with you.Sidenote, we recorded this remotely while Andrew was traveling—he joined us from Bangor, Maine.

Can AI truly revolutionize customer experience, or is it just another overhyped tech trend? While most organizations recognize AI's potential, many are still struggling to scale AI beyond pilot projects. So, what's holding them back? In this episode, recorded live at the X4 Summit in Salt Lake City, I sit down with Isabel Zdatny, Head of Thought Leadership at Qualtrics XM Institute, to explore the $860 billion opportunity AI presents for customer experience. We discuss why only 12% of organizations have a company-wide AI strategy, the disconnect between AI ambition and execution, and how companies can break free from what she calls "pilot purgatory." Key topics include: The three biggest ways AI will unlock business value—from productivity gains to revenue growth and operational efficiency. Why AI needs to be top-down and outcome-focused—not just a shiny tech experiment. The rise of Agentic AI—AI that doesn't just assist but autonomously manages entire workflows. How leading companies are using AI to predict and prevent customer churn, personalize interactions, and optimize operations. The biggest myths about AI in CX—and why you don't need perfect data to get started. As AI reshapes how businesses engage with customers, companies that act decisively and strategically will gain a significant competitive advantage. But will they move fast enough? Tune in to hear real-world insights, case studies, and expert advice from Isabel on how businesses can turn AI potential into real impact—before their competitors do.

Addiction breaks lives, breaks families, and on a mass scale can break societies, but breaking an addiction is quite difficult. There are two main schools of thought for how to help addicted people: Abstinence, or the cessation of drug (or alcohol, or other addictive vice) use, or “harm reduction”—the practice defined by the National Institutes […]
