This week we dive into the latest spin from the Federal Government on property, pull apart the Bathla story, and look across the construction sector more broadly, as well as the latest numbers.

Lying, crying and denying, Lloyd Grimshaw is dragged before the Federal Government of Australia under threat of subpoena. What a spectacle! What a sensation! Watch as the oily PBCC spin doctor veers from perjury to comedy, in a desperate attempt to avoid admitting the plain, obvious and inevitable facts of the PBCC's 2025 Election Interference campaign. Finally cornered, the grim-faced Grimshaw has to admit that his public statements denying Plymouth Brethren Christian Church involvement were not referring to the church at all, but only to a tiny “secretariat entity” of the same name – an entity that has no members at all.As this unfolded, the phones at the Get-A Life HQ were running hot with calls from incredulous insiders, ex-members and journalists whose reactions spanned the spectrum from fury to hysteria. Here we bring you the first of a series of podcasts where we unleash some of those emotions and commentary from a whole series of guests, starting with Jill Aebi-Mytton, Gilli and Damian Hastie in the UK and the Get A Life team, Lane, Richard and Cheryl and last but not least, a very famous rodent with large black ears.

HEADLINES: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared he “owes it to history” to defeat One Nation. After a spate of sexual assaults the Federal Government is funding a review into its current consent and respectful relationships programs. Hundreds are dead and thousands are still missing in Nepal.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! This one's for anyone tired of the heat-with-no-light that passes for policy debate on Twitter. David brings together three super smart policy minds who understand government — spanning different ideologies and varying degrees of partisanship. It's a rare, respectful, rational, 90-minute conversation about the predicament Canada finds itself in and what policy steps the country should take next in this trade war with the US.Tyler Meredith, Jennifer Robson, and Ginny Roth dig into whether Canada should still be racing back to the table with the Americans, or whether this is finally the moment to build real independence from that relationship. They debate what's actually achievable through internal free trade. Tyler makes the case the economic models behind it are, in his words, "bullshit" and why Canadian businesses have been sitting on their capital for the better part of a decade.They'll also discuss what it means that the federal government has quietly become one of the country's biggest investors: building and owning pipelines, de-risking major projects, and increasingly deciding which sectors to grow. They dig into the politically thorny stuff too: interprovincial trade barriers nobody wants to touch, the tanker ban, First Nations consultation, and why "brain drain" needs to come back into the conversation. And they close on the immediate question of who's actually hurting right now: auto workers, steel workers, forestry towns … and whether EI, retraining, and liquidity supports are anywhere close to adequate for what's coming next. This is a substantive episode that spans real disagreement and real depth. Pour yourself a coffee and settle in with the panel:Tyler is the former Head of Fiscal and Economic Policy for Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers of Finance, Chrystia Freeland and Bill Morneau. Today, he's a Founding Partner at Meredith/Boessenkool & Phillips Policy Advisors.Jennifer has served in senior roles in policy development and research with the Federal Government. She's now Program Director and Associate Professor of Political Management at Carleton University.And Ginny has spent a life in politics, most recently as Directory of Comms for Pierre Poilievre's Conservative leadership campaign. She's a sought after commentator across various media and a Partner at Crestview Strategy advising clients on public policy. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom's family say they are "deeply disappointed" by Israel's decision not to pursue criminal proceedings over the military strike that killed her in 2024. Ms Frankcom's family is calling on the Federal Government to continue its push for criminal accountability over her death. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said Israel should consider an independent investigation into Frankcom's death saying there's a need for a much more transparent response from Israel.
Over the weekend we re-shared the first installment of American Emergency, our 4-part series all about the Federal Emergency Management Agency. OTM's Senior Producer Eloise Blondiau and host Micah Loewinger spent nearly a year researching and reporting those episodes. And earlier in the summer, they put on a live event at WNYC, where Eloise and Micah gave a behind the scenes look at their process making the show, and why they wanted to tell a story about FEMA in the first place. The conversation was recorded live at The Greene Space in New York, and moderated by legendary reporter Nancy Solomon. We were joined by one of our sources, former top FEMA staffer MaryAnn Tierney, who now leads the control center for SEPTA – the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. MaryAnn shared her expertise on how FEMA really works, as well as her experience working with Trump's latest pick to lead the agency, Cameron Hamilton.

President Donald Trump signed a national security memorandum Wednesday that lays the groundwork for private sector companies to take a larger role in helping law enforcement carry out offensive hacking operations against transnational criminal organizations. The White House said sustained fraud and other cyber-enabled campaigns from transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) warranted the memo, and cited a fraud-focused executive order from March as only the first step. ”This memorandum expands the fight against TCO-perpetrated cybercrime by incorporating the ingenuity of the private sector,” it reads. Under the memorandum, a federal coordination center “shall create, manage, and maintain a Program to authorize Participating Companies … to conduct Cyber Surveillance Operations and Cyber Effects Operations against foreign Cyber-Enabled Transnational Criminal Organizations (CE-TCOs), under the control and oversight of the Federal Government“ that would be “part of lawful investigatory, protective, or intelligence operations carried out by Federal law enforcement.” Participating companies would have to sign contracts with the Justice Department or Department of Homeland Security to “undergo rigorous vetting.” The Department of Veterans Affairs has proposed expanding its contract with Oracle Center for electronic health modernization because it will soon run out of money, a contract update posted Tuesday shows. VA would be increasing the overall contract ceiling, already at a staggering near $10 billion, and extending the potential period of performance by three years due to the “unanticipated complexity of the effort,” contracting documents said. “Due to unanticipated complexities in deploying this system, extensive site-specific customizations, as well as the other factors … VA has reached the current contract ceiling sooner than originally planned,” the documents said. “VA anticipates using the remaining ceiling by the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 and thus requires an increase.” While the new ceiling value is redacted in the documents, they did say the estimated value is “based on historical work executed to date, the standard deployment model, and all other requirements necessary to deploy and sustain the EHR under the approved accelerated deployment schedule, which is required to meet VA requirements and Veteran's needs.” The VA said “technical glitches impacting use of the system,” training issues, clinical gaps or functionality errors “with potential impact on patient safety,” and COVID-19 restrictions on on-site deployment delayed the modernization, and it cannot be fully accomplished in the remaining time.

So, repeat guest and total genius Brian Chau (Brian Chau) joins me to discuss his new independent news service, Effort News. Now, if you know me, you will know that I am inherently skeptical of all such new openly RW media organizations, but Chau has completely blown my mind with his work on this one. He's using AI to weaponize damning data about rampant globalist manipulations and offering real remedies on the page. Here are two examples: In one story, he shows how just before Trump took office the federal government exponentially increased payments to an organized array of supposedly religious immigration/asylum organizations like HIAS, Church World Service, Episcopal Migration Services. Each one is tied to a specific Christian or Jewish denomination, yet they're all being injected with huge sums of federal funds since 2016 in the same grouped pattern.In one particularly damning example, in 2024 The Ethiopian Community Development Council received $92 million from the federal government.In a second and equally sinister story, Brian reveals that a creepy British NGO called 5Rights is spending millions of dollars to openly get Britain-style internet censorship and identity verification laws passed in the US. And it has been successful in doing so in many states include California where these laws are still on the books. How such foreign influence is allowed by the feds is mind boggling. Even worse is that it's all run by a terrifying NGO harridan Baroness Beeban Tania Kidron. You can't make this stuff up. This is a public episode.

It's been a busy week in the small western Minnesota town of Appleton. First, the town learned the Department of Homeland Security is moving forward with plans to detain immigrants in a shuttered private prison nearby. Then, CoreCivic, the company that owns the prison, announced it is selling it to the federal government. It's expected to open this fall as an ICE detention center. CoreCivic will still manage the facility. But, as federal property, it may be exempt from taxes that currently support Appleton's budget. Appleton City Council member Jim Massee joined to talk more about what impacts this could have.

When you hear the term "downwinders," you might only think of people living in Southern Utah during the government's nuclear testing decades ago. But the government has actually expanded who qualifies as a downwinder.

The U.S. Department of Energy has named Utah as one of its top picks to host a new Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus. The project isn't official yet and would still be several years out. But state leaders say it will be good economically for the state and for Tooele County, where the site would be located.
We chat with Matt Haugen and Jesse Goldstein from the Climate + Community Institute about a new report they co-authored laying out how the US is engaging in industrial policy for AI development in ways that are often indirect, inconsistent, and interpersonal, but ultimately are configured around supporting a specific configuration of (venture) capitalist strategy for intensive, rapid development, all while making political economic choices that prioritize anti-social infrastructure over social well-being and environmental protections. ••• AI First: How the Federal Government is Prioritizing AI Over People and Planet https://stopgreedbuildgreen.climateandcommunity.org/posts/ai-first ••• Honey, We Need To Talk About Venture Socialism https://www.butthistime.com/p/honey-we-need-to-talk-about-venture-5cb Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

In this episode, David McKnight walks you through the five biggest Roth conversion traps, and how to avoid them. He is a big believer in Roth conversions. Because of the apocalyptic fiscal trajectory of the U.S., taxes in the future are likely to be dramatically higher than they are today. Hence, every dollar you reposition from tax-deferred to tax-free at these historically low tax rates may be one of the smartest financial decisions you ever make. However, while many people understand Roth conversions in theory, they still get them wrong in practice – David has seen some very costly mistakes over the years. The first big Roth conversion trap is waiting too long. True: nobody wakes up excited to pay a tax 10-20 years before the IRS absolutely requires it of them… …but we're living in the middle of "the tax sale of a lifetime", which is likely to end in or around 2035 and will see the Federal Government forced to raise taxes. The second Roth conversion mistake has to do with not maxing out the appropriate tax bracket. If you have a substantial amount of money in your IRA or 401(k), David says that you won't be able to fully execute your Roth conversion strategy unless you take full advantage of the 24% bracket. "When 2035 rolls around, we'll look back at the 24% bracket as a good deal of historic proportions", highlights David. Over-converting is the third big mistake people make when it comes to Roth conversions. When people come to the conclusion that future tax rates are going to be higher than the current ones, they often panic and reflexively convert all of their tax-deferred retirement savings to Roth. What they forget, however, is that, in retirement, they will still have a standard deduction. Remember: Eevery retirement strategy you undertake should be calculated to extend the life of your investments, not shorten it. Roth conversion trap #4 is letting the fear of IRMAA (Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount) dictate your Roth conversion strategy. The fifth Roth conversion trap is not paying taxes on your Roth conversion out of the right place.

Companies like 'Anthropic' and 'OpenAI' are warning Congress that China is stealing their cutting-edge AI to produce cheaper, open-source chatbots. The U.S. firm alleges 'DeepSeek', 'Moonshot AI' and 'MiniMax' are using 'distillation' attacks to generate more than 16 million exchanges with 'Anthropic's Claude' chatbot in a coordinated campaign designed to extract high-value model outputs which is cutting into the U.S.'s thin lead in AI development. Meanwhile, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul has put a one year moratorium on building 'hyperscale' data centers in her state. FOX's Gurnal Scott speaks with Kyler Schmitz, Vice President of 'Patmos Hosting', an AI infrastructure company, who says coordination from both the private sector and the Federal Government is needed to secure AI innovations , as does the building and powering of data centers.
