Jimmy interviews Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent about the intelligence community, the "deep state," and the possibility that unelected institutions exert influence beyond elected government. Kent tell Jimmy that greater transparency, declassification, accountability, and reform of agencies such as the FBI and CIA are necessary, while expressing skepticism about whether political leaders can fully control those institutions.  The discussion also examines competing theories about Donald Trump's presidency, including whether he was pressured or persuaded to abandon campaign positions, with Kent saying he does not believe Trump is simply unintelligent or easily fooled. The interview concludes with Kent expressing optimism that increased public awareness and electoral participation could eventually produce greater government accountability, while Jimmy continues to view political events and institutions with a more jaundiced eye. Plus segments on a TPUSA insider providing evidence that Andrew Wilson lied during the Candace Owens debate and Flock camera's astronomical failure rate.

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a community conversation from the Aspen Ideas Festival in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the formation of the United States of America. The program called "America in Her Own Words" was organized by Theater of War Productions, which was honored to return to the Aspen Ideas Festival last week to present this year's closing session to help celebrate and interrogate the 250th anniversary of the United States. Actors David Strathairn (Goodnight and Good Luck, Lincoln), Michael Potts (The Wire, True Detective), and Kathleen Chalfant (Familiar Touch, The Affair) performed excerpts from Fourth of July speeches by Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Susan B. Anthony to catalyze a guided audience discussion about how reckoning and repair are fundamental to the promise and process of American democracy. The texts included sections from “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” delivered by Frederick Douglass at an Independence Day celebration in Rochester, New York on July 5, 1852; “The Electric Cord Speech” delivered by Abraham Lincoln from the balcony of Tremont House in Chicago, Illinois on July 10, 1858; and the “Declaration of Rights of the Women of the United States” written by Matilda Joslyn Gage, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony and read by Anthony on July 4, 1876 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia during the Centennial Celebration. Following the readings, thoughts were shared by panelists Abayomi Lewis (Singer; Poet; “American Idol” Contestant), Chuck Sams (Director, Indigenous Programs, Yale Center for Environmental Justice; Former Director, U.S. National Park Service), and Jeh Johnson (Former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security; Chair, Board of Trustees, Columbia University). They candidly responded to these speeches and kicked off a powerful discussion with the audience. Watch the full performance at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Witiu_NzpYs Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://www.forwardradio.org

But there's one company in India with every piece of it refuses to spin itIn 2017, Disney walked away from a fortune. It pulled Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar off Netflix, ate the lost licensing cheques, and poured the money into a platform it was building from scratch. The logic was the logic of every integrated media company since — if you own the content and you own the pipe, you don't rent your crown jewels to a rival. Content feeds the platform, the platform feeds subscriptions, subscriptions fund the next film. Apple runs it, Amazon runs it, and the entire point of owning both a studio and a streamer is that each is supposed to feed the other.Reliance has every piece of that machine. Jio Studios is the biggest film studio in India — it made Dhurandhar, the highest-grossing Indian film ever. JioStar is the biggest streaming platform in the country, half a billion users, assembled partly from the Disney+ Hotstar business Disney handed over on its way out. Everything Disney took decades to build, Reliance already has under one roof.And roughly 98% of what Jio Studios makes goes to the platforms Reliance is meant to be fighting. When it made the biggest film in the country's history, it gave it away to Netflix.So what does Reliance know something the rest of us don't? Praveen argues for the platform-and-synergy side of the table: the Disney playbook, the flywheel, the studio you own and can brief at will. His two guests have run the platforms he's describing and now produce films for a living fight back against his position by explaining why you can't monopolise storytelling, why your own studio becomes the 301st vendor on your list, and why a franchise is a decade of work no amount of vertical integration can shortcut.Vijay Subramaniam — founder of 29th September Works. Spent 11 years at Walt Disney India as VP of Media Networks, then built Amazon Prime Video India's content engine as Head of Content. Now also a movie producer (Padakalam).Srishti Behl  — founder of Starfish Stories, working on IP and international co-productions.

Tim McDonald was sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner in 2020 when the pain started. A few days later, a doctor handed him a single sheet of paper and said three words nobody wants to hear: "You have cancer."Stage 4 colorectal cancer. Liver covered in tumors. A second oncologist told him he had three years to live and she'd focus on "quality of life." His response? "That's your story. Not mine."In this episode, Tim shares how over a decade of mindfulness practice shaped the way he faced one of the hardest diagnoses a person can receive and how he went from following doctors' orders to becoming the general manager of his own care team, ultimately pursuing a liver transplant at a time when fewer than 20 people in the US had received one for colorectal cancer.This conversation goes deep on:→ What it actually feels like to hear "you have cancer" and stay calm→ Why getting a second (and third, and tenth) opinion saved his life→ The player → quarterback → general manager framework for owning your treatment→ Men, vulnerability, and why cancer support groups changed everything→ The dark thought he had toward the end of chemo — and what pulled him back→ Why survivorship was mentally harder than treatment itself→ How advocacy work became part of his healingIf you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, this episode is essential listening.───────────────────────────

At the Aspen Ideas Festival, host Tammy Haddad talks to top AI leaders, economists and energy leaders about whether AI's economic boom is lifting everyone, or just the top. Featuring: Chris Womack, Chairman, President & CEO, Southern Company, Lael Brainard, Former Director, National Economic Council, and former Vice Chair, Board of Governors, and Benedict Macon-Cooney, Chief Innovation Officer, Tony Blair Institute. 

Lara Krinsky opens the briefing by framing the last two weeks as a major diplomatic pivot, with military pressure giving way to negotiations involving Iran, Lebanon, the U.S., and regional intermediaries. Gadi Ezra explains that two parallel tracks are now shaping the region: U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland aimed at keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and stabilizing the broader conflict, and Israel-Lebanon talks under U.S. auspices focused on southern Lebanon and Hezbollah's disarmament. He warns that Iran is trying to tie Lebanon into the broader U.S.-Iran framework so it can preserve influence through Hezbollah, cast Israel as the obstacle to peace, and tell its own public that it still controls the region. Ezra argues Israel must not sit back and let others design the “day after,” pointing to Gaza as a cautionary example where Qatar gained influence because Israel failed to shape the diplomatic architecture early enough. He says Israel needs to take initiative by putting forward a concrete plan for Lebanon that combines IDF enforcement, Lebanese legal and political action, and American-led economic rehabilitation. The briefing closes with Ezra stressing that the information and diplomatic battles are now as critical as the military ones, and that Israel's soldiers ultimately carry the consequences of every negotiation, compromise, and strategic decision.

After recent primaries, it's clear that AI is top of mind for many Americans.

The Islamification of America is HERE, and Texas is ground zero! Muslims are now pushing Sharia law over a Denton County cemetery. Meanwhile, actor Giancarlo Esposito — who played Gus Fring on “Breaking Bad” — converts to Islam and calls for REVOLUTION in America. However, some Texans have had enough and are calling out the Islamic cult. Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a bombshell report proving Fauci gave taxpayer funds to the Wuhan lab behind the COVID outbreak and let Americans die of COVID to push an experimental vaccine and emergency powers. But the New York Times and Washington Post are working overtime to misdirect the American public. Trump was right all along: The media is the enemy of the people. Black Americans have more rights than ever but still demand that white people not celebrate Juneteenth, go to work, and pay reparations. Violence exploded in Chicago over the “holiday” weekend, and Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed Nixon instead of those responsible while choosing to promote the protection of trans residents over black lives. Democrats will stop at nothing to make our country less safe. Seizing on President Trump's goodwill, now the Left wants to repeal the Jones Act and hand our coastal shipping over to China. But that's only going to make us even more America last. 0:00 - Sharia Law Now in Cemeteries? 20:31 - Tulsi Drops Fauci Bombshell 35:35 - Juneteenth Turns Deadly 47:05 - Democrats Push to Make America Last ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► PREBORN Donate securely at https://www.preborn.com/sara or dial #250, keyword BABY. ►MD HEARING Shop https://www.MDHearing.com and use promo code SARA to get a pair for hearing aids for JUST $247.

Some members of Congress had hoped to fast-track the confirmation of President Trump's pick for director of national intelligence. But early Wednesday morning, Trump threw a wrench in those plans when he posted to social media that his nominee, Jay Clayton, would not be showing up for his confirmation hearing due to Trump's ongoing dispute with lawmakers. Former Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair weighs in. Then, earlier this month, the government sold the Washington, D.C. building that once housed one of the Trump family's hotels. The Wall Street Journal's Craig Karmin joins us to discuss the $80 million sale. And, a major climate polluter might get a break from the EPA after its founder gave millions to President Trump's campaign.

Joan Tafoya joins Jamie Flinchbaugh on People Solve Problems for a conversation built around one deceptively simple question: how do you coach problem solving when the person in front of you is difficult to coach? Joan, a former director at Meta, Intel, and Sandia National Laboratories with nearly 38 years of experience, brings a perspective shaped by leading large, globally dispersed teams and by watching problem-solving succeed and fail at scale. Joan opens by describing her own growth as a leader. In her early years as an engineer and manager, she was focused on results and often grew frustrated when people did not solve problems the way she would have. Over time, she recognized that she could not advance until she taught others to think differently, not to think like her, but to think more deliberately about problem-solving itself. She points to a turning point while running a manufacturing line at Intel, where a constant stream of people asking for the next step left her burning out. The shift she made was to narrate her own thinking out loud so others could follow it, and to ask people what they were thinking rather than supplying every answer. That experience leads to one of the central themes of the episode. Joan is honest that her move toward coaching began partly as self-preservation, but she came to see it as something larger. She realized her team did not always share the same picture of success, and that alignment on both the problem and the desired outcome mattered as much as effort. Coaching, in her telling, became the way to build a group of trusted people who could carry the work forward and free her to take on new challenges. Joan also reflects on the challenge of coaching highly credentialed experts. At Sandia National Laboratories, she built a department focused on lean and problem-solving practices in an environment where nearly everyone held a PhD. Rather than pretending to match their technical depth, she earned credibility by listening carefully, reflecting what she heard, and asking sharper questions, especially about the knowledge gaps standing between the team and its next breakthrough. Prioritization is another area Joan explores in depth. Drawing on her time at Meta, she describes a culture that was learning to balance speed with reliability. Her first prioritization question is not whether a problem is important but whether her team is the one best suited to solve it. She warns against the instinct to swarm every visible problem, comparing it to a kindergarten soccer team chasing the ball. She also looks for quick wins that build momentum and morale without draining resources from larger work. On ideation, Joan emphasizes starting with clarity. She often opens sessions with a silent exercise in which everyone writes down the problem statement and what success would look like, which surfaces a wider range of views and avoids groupthink. She values bringing contrarians into the room, while noting that a contrarian works best when given clear expectations about how to contribute rather than simply being allowed to push back. Joan closes with advice for young engineers hoping to lead in fast-paced, demanding environments. She believes people grow most while they are struggling and pushing past what feels comfortable, and she encourages giving yourself grace during those stretches while still choosing to step into the discomfort. It is a fitting end to a conversation that treats problem-solving as something every person can learn and every leader can nurture.

Join Angel Horvat, Founder and CEO of AI Readi, for a candid evaluation of why the corporate rush into generative AI is grinding to an unexpected halt. Despite massive infrastructure investments, the enterprise journey is hitting a hard wall: while 88% of organizations have initiated AI pilots, a staggering 94% remain permanently trapped in pilot purgatory. Drawing on his years leading AI and data strategy at Nike (EMEA) and Gartner, Angel reveals that these failures are almost never a failure of the tech—they are structural failures of the organization itself. In this episode, we discover how to bridge the gap between initial demo and scaled business value.

Popok also explains why Trump ally DC US attorney Jeannine Pirro just folded and won't seek an indictment for the second time against 6 members of Congress for telling the military to follow their oath, not illegal Trump orders, and why 5 other Trump critics haven't been indicted yet either.
