What does it mean to make love the lens through which we understand God, scripture, justice, and the way of Jesus? In this episode of The Collective Table, Jason Coker sits down with pastor, activist, and author Trey Ferguson to discuss his new book, Love Is Good Religion. Trey shares how his own journey into ministry shaped his understanding of faith and explores what it might look like to reimagine familiar Christian stories through a theology rooted in love. The conversation dives into competing understandings of the gospel, penal substitutionary atonement, the human fingerprints found throughout scripture, the role of imagination in faith, and the difference between retributive and restorative justice. Jason and Trey also explore how love might challenge our assumptions about violence, power, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world that often treats cruelty as necessary. Along the way, Trey offers a compelling definition of love as a commitment to the wholeness and flourishing of another—and invites us to consider what changes when we take that definition seriously. Love Is Good Religion is more than a devotional; it is an invitation to read scripture differently, ask better questions, and imagine a more loving way of being in the world. The Collective Table Podcast is a production of the Oceanside Sanctuary, a progressive Christian community in Oceanside, California.

Chairman Omali Yeshitela (founder and Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement) appears in several notable, widely circulated speeches, news interviews, and press conferences. Speeches at Rallies, Conferences, and Debates:Oxford Union Debate (2019): In a widely viewed address ("We Should Embrace a Closer African Union"), he speaks in formal attire to a seated audience, delivering a structured argument on Pan-Africanism, anti-colonialism, and global Black liberation. Plenary & Party Conferences: Videos published by The Burning Spear or APSP channels show him speaking at podiums before energetic crowds, dressed in military-style African liberation fatigues or formal suits, forcefully speaking against imperialism and calling for reparations. Press Conferences and News Interviews (FBI Raid & Legal Case):Post-FBI Raid Addresses (2022–2023): Following a 2022 raid on his home by federal agents, Yeshitela appeared in press briefings and interviews (e.g., on Democracy Now!, News2Share, and local TV broadcasts). He directly addresses the media, speaking calmly yet firmly against the DOJ's accusations and framed charges, characterizing them as political repression against the Black power movement. Viral Commentary & Social Media Clips:Ferguson Commentary (2014): Short, impassioned video clips of Yeshitela commenting on community uprising, police accountability, and state control in Ferguson went viral across social platforms. Because "Chairman Omali video" can refer to multiple clips across different eras:The Oxford Union Debate (Pan-Africanism and African Union)The "Uhuru 3" / DOJ Indictment Statements (Addressing federal charges and civil rights)The White House Anti-War Rally Speech (Addressing imperialism and government surveillance)Historical Speeches (1990s–2000s Black Power Organizing Conferences)

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly considering a new memoir that would address the fallout from Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein and the damage the scandal caused to their family. According to the report, Ferguson has discussed writing about the years in which Andrew's public standing collapsed, including the scrutiny surrounding his friendship with Epstein, the Virginia Giuffre allegations and the consequences that followed for the Duke and those closest to him. The proposed book is being framed as Ferguson's chance to tell her version of what happened behind the scenes and explain how the Epstein scandal affected her relationship with Andrew and their daughters.The memoir has not been formally announced, and no publication date or final deal has been confirmed, but the possibility has attracted attention because Ferguson has remained one of Andrew's most visible defenders throughout his disgrace. A book touching directly on Epstein would inevitably draw scrutiny over what Ferguson knew, when she knew it and how she viewed Andrew's continued relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction. It would also reopen questions about Ferguson's own connection to Epstein, including the £15,000 payment he made toward one of her debts, which she later said she regretted accepting.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sarah Ferguson 'Planning Memoir to Tackle Jeffrey Epstein Scandal'

We're back! Season 12 of Style DNA is here, and I couldn't think of a better guest to kick things off than the wonderful Rosemary Ferguson, former '90s model turned functional medicine practitioner, naturopath and nutritionist.We talk about her brilliantly pragmatic approach to wellness, why there really is no ‘silver bullet', and her new book The Reset, designed to help us feel better through realistic, sustainable changes rather than restriction. Of course, we also go back to her extraordinary modelling days… from McQueen and Miu Miu to Versace and Fendi and why, despite being at the heart of '90s fashion, Rose insists she was never really a “fashion girl”.Her advice to her younger self? Don't try to be like somebody else. Listen to yourself.Thank you Rose for being the perfect guest to launch Season 12.A huge thank you to Silk'n for supporting this season of Style DNA, and for being part of my own skin journey too.

Washington voters will soon decide whether to repeal the state's newly enacted 9.9% income tax, and a new analysis examines what Initiative 645 would actually do to the rest of Washington's tax package. The Washington Research Council has released a policy brief examining I-645 and the state's new income tax established under Senate Bill 6346. If voters approve Initiative 645, the income-tax provisions would be repealed while several other tax-relief provisions included in SB 6346 would remain in law. Those provisions include an expansion of the Working Families Tax Credit and other sales-tax and business-tax relief included in the legislation. Washington Research Council Senior Research Analyst Emily Makings says the income tax itself does not solve Washington's underlying state budget problems. The Research Council argues lawmakers have increased spending beyond expected ongoing revenues and will still have significant budget work ahead regardless of whether the income tax remains in place. The Research Council also points to uncertainty surrounding the income tax, including potential constitutional challenges and the volatility of relying on income from a relatively small group of high-income taxpayers. Washington voters will decide the fate of Initiative 645 in the November 3 election. Also in today's Washington in Focus, a North Carolina detransitioner is asking an appeals court to allow her lawsuit against medical providers to move forward. The woman says she began testosterone at age 17 and underwent a double mastectomy at 18. She is challenging the earlier dismissal of her lawsuit and argues that changes enacted by North Carolina lawmakers should allow her claims to proceed despite the time limits that previously barred the case. Her allegations against the medical providers remain the subject of ongoing litigation. And Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson is asking President Donald Trump to approve a federal Major Disaster Declaration following devastating wildfires across Eastern Washington. A state and federal preliminary damage assessment found that the fires destroyed 649 primary residences, damaged another 2,542 homes and burned nearly 369,000 acres. Washington is seeking federal Individual Assistance for residents in Benton, Okanogan, Spokane and Stevens counties and the Spokane Tribe of Indians. The state estimates the request could unlock approximately $11.2 million in assistance for individuals and another $117.7 million for debris cleanup and emergency costs. Today's Washington in Focus examines Initiative 645 and Washington's income-tax repeal, the state's continuing budget challenges, the North Carolina detransitioner lawsuit and Washington's request for federal wildfire disaster assistance.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson analyze new polling showing increased support for socialism among Americans, particularly among independents and Democrats, and debate what is driving those trends. They also discuss immigration policy, Democratic priorities in the midterm campaign, and concerns about proposals involving legal status for millions of undocumented immigrants. The conversation then turns overseas, where British authorities arrested five men suspected of preparing a terrorist attack near RAF Fairford, a military base that hosts U.S. forces. Cruz and Ferguson review the details of the investigation, the reported possibility of links to Iran, and what they see as broader national security implications. The episode also examines reports involving a former Hamas leader's bodyguard who allegedly obtained asylum and citizenship status in the United Kingdom before later being accused in a major terrorism plot. With five weeks until the midterm elections, Democratic messaging on impeachment, immigration, and the growing popularity of socialism takes center stage. Senator Ted Cruz argues that the stakes of the election extend well beyond control of Congress, touching on economic policy, border security, and the future direction of the country. Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine comments from Democratic lawmakers regarding potential impeachment efforts if Democrats regain power, and they discuss what those proposals could mean for the political landscape heading into Election Day. Topics Covered: Democratic discussions of potential impeachment efforts if they regain congressional power New Gallup polling on rising public support for socialism Immigration policy and proposals involving legal status for millions of undocumented immigrants Midterm election messaging and voter concerns heading into Election Day The foiled terrorist plot near RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom Reports involving a former Hamas bodyguard and broader security concerns tied to immigration screening Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The plot involves a detective (Pratt), who is accused of murdering his wife, and must prove his innocence to an artificial intelligence judge (Ferguson). The film also stars Kali Reis, Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, and Kylie Rogers. Mercy was released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International on January 23, 2026. The film grossed $54.7 million worldwide against a $60 million budget. Plot In 2029 Los Angeles, the Mercy Capital Court responds to a surge in crime by using artificial intelligence (AI) judges to try defendants for violent offenses. To assemble evidence, all devices are also registered to the municipal cloud to allow the AI judge to pass judgement. The AI judge also gives the defendants all available resources to find and provide all the evidence needed to prove their innocence in 90 minutes, or be executed via a sonic blast. Los Angeles Police Department Detective Christopher "Chris" Raven, a strong proponent of the court, is strapped to a chair, put on trial for his wife Nicole's murder, and is given 90 minutes to persuade the AI judge of his innocence. Presiding over his case is the AI Judge Maddox. All the evidence points to Chris having killed his wife, as her blood was found on his clothing and doorbell camera footage places him at their home shortly before her murder. Chris's guilt probability is 97.5%, which qualifies him for execution unless his evidence lowers it to 92% for reasonable doubt and 80% for a Mercy Trial. Since AIs are not allowed to take a human life, the chair is set on a 90 minute timer not controlled by the AI, and it is the defendant's responsibility to lower their score and this allows the AI to unlock the chair before the timer runs out. Via Maddox's unrestricted access and abilities, Chris learns that Nicole was seeing another man, Patrick Burke. Chris's partner Jacqueline "Jaq" Diallo finds Patrick who confides that Nicole felt unable to communicate her troubles to Chris about work. Her work email records show reports of missing chemicals. Recalling hosting a work barbecue with Nicole, Chris reviews footage to better identify her co-workers. While looking for evidence, Chris confronts his relapse in sobriety following the murder of his former partner, Ray Vale, and regrets not shooting the suspect who was later acquitted. Relapsing into alcoholism led to Chris's aggression toward Nicole, and she began to consider a divorce. Maddox shows Chris records of one co-worker, Holt Charles, who had financial issues and had discussed the chemical disappearance with Robert "Rob" Nelson, Chris's sobriety sponsor. Suspecting Holt may have killed Nicole, Chris tries to contact Rob. Holt instead answers the phone and he explains that Rob is responsible for the missing chemicals. Chris reviews his daughter Britt's social media posts, which reveal that a stranger had been hiding in their basement since the barbecue. His neighbor's security cameras display a rustling in the bushes, and Rob is seen exiting the neighbor's trunk in parking lot surveillance footage. Chris sends Jaq to Rob's house, warning her and her team that he might be armed. The SWAT team arrive at Rob's house, finding it empty, but uncover detailed plans in the shed to craft a bomb. Maddox discovers that Rob's brother, David Webb, who was separated from him after Rob was adopted and given a new name, was the first person Mercy Court executed for murder. Chris realizes that Rob is orchestrating revenge against him and the Court. Chris is officially acquitted for the murder, but refuses to end the trial to exploit Maddox's unrestricted access. He tries to contact Britt, but footage from her grandparents' front door shows Rob kidnapping her and taking her into a stolen semi-truck. A bomb goes off in the shed killing most of the SWAT team. Jaq pursues Rob, who is transporting explosives toward Mercy Court to destroy the building with Chris inside. The police divert Rob away from Mercy Court, and Jaq, assuming command, orders the task force to blow up the truck. Chris pleads with Jaq but she refuses to yield to him. The bomb fails to detonate and Jaq attempts to shoot Rob directly. Rob arrives at Mercy Court, crashing into the building and causing a network glitch that requires a system reset. Maddox reboots in time to release Chris from the chair before the trial ends with his execution. Chris confronts Rob, working with Maddox to distract Rob by having Mercy Court reopen David Webb's case and demanding Rob to submit his new evidence immediately. Chris then disarms Rob as he speaks and wants to kill him, but is talked down by Britt. Jaq arrives and shoots Rob. Rob provides new evidence that he was on the phone with David when the murder took place, but the police would not listen. Maddox confirms the call's timing and location which placed the phone away from the crime scene. Then Maddox retrieved footage that showed Jaq retrieving that phone from David, removing it from evidence, and dumping it in the river. Jaq explains she wanted to ensure that David was found guilty in the first judgement issued by an AI court to prove the system worked. Jaq and Rob are both taken into custody while Britt reconciles with Chris, whose case is formally dismissed. Maddox and Chris admit mistakes were made by humans and AI and they must learn from their mistakes. Cast Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson star in the film. Chris Pratt as Det.

Former Washington Governor Christine Gregoire released her Challenge Seattle report this week with an unambiguous verdict: the Puget Sound region has lost nearly 7,000 jobs and surrendered its competitive edge to other metros. Starbucks is building a $100 million Nashville campus. Amazon is quietly exiting South Lake Union. The warning signs are no longer subtle — they're on every balance sheet across King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties.Sean's read: this is the entirely predictable outcome of a Democrat supermajority that spent decades choosing ideology over economic competitiveness. Regulatory overload, a hostile business climate, and a reflexive tax appetite didn't happen by accident — they were legislated into place, one progressive priority at a time. Now that the data is undeniable, regional leaders are holding summits and launching partnerships. Meanwhile, Katie Wilson and the progressive revenue caucus are already eyeing the next hike.A statewide millionaire tax is headed to a ballot repeal vote. If it survives, Sean argues it's game over for Washington's remaining advantages. Venture capital is retreating, restaurant permitting is a bureaucratic nightmare, and Microsoft has publicly warned about payroll tax exposure. Bellevue is quietly capturing the business Seattle keeps pushing away — but that math has a ceiling too.CHAPTERS0:00 Former Gov.

Newly released SPD text messages reveal that the five-hour blackout following the deadly Bite of Seattle shooting wasn't a communications breakdown — it was a command decision. According to a source who spoke with Fox 13, Seattle Police Department leadership was ready to brief the public hours earlier, until Mayor Katie Wilson's office stepped in and told them to stand down. A single text captures the moment: "Please wait for her."Mayor Wilson has publicly denied that her office played any role in the delay. Now nine senior SPD leaders' texts tell a different story.

The Fast Lane with Ed Lane: Friday, September 25, 2026

Cancer affects far more people in the workplace than many of us realise. As HR professionals, there may be times when you're supporting an employee with a cancer diagnosis, someone undergoing treatment, a colleague living with the long-term effects of cancer, or an employee who is caring for a loved one affected by it.Knowing that support matters is one thing. Feeling confident about what to say, what practical help to offer, and how to create the right support across your organisation is another.In this episode, Fay is joined by Tara Ferguson, Founder of Onward With You. Drawing on more than 20 years in senior HR roles and her own experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, Tara shares practical advice to help HR teams and managers better support people affected by cancer at work. Together, they explore the role good line management can play, the reality of living with cancer beyond active treatment, and the steps organisations can take to build greater cancer confidence.What You'll Learn Why cancer should increasingly be considered a long-term condition rather than a short-term illnessThe scale of cancer's impact on today's workforce, including employees with caring responsibilitiesWhat Tara's line manager did that made such a positive difference during her diagnosis and treatmentWhy work can sometimes play an important role in someone's recovery and wellbeing during treatmentWhat HR professionals need to understand about legal protections and reasonable adjustmentsHow to approach the first conversation when someone shares a cancer diagnosis with youPractical steps organisations can take to improve awareness, support and manager capabilityChapters [0:00] Introduction: Cancer at Work[01:15] Meet Tara Ferguson[02:50] Tara's Story: From HR to Cancer Diagnosis[03:48] The Changing Face of Cancer in the Workplace[05:12] How Tara Is Now: The Ongoing Impact[08:07] Cancer in the Workplace: The Statistics[11:36] What Good Line Manager Support Looks Like[15:32] The Positive Role of Work During Treatment[17:13] Legal Protections & Reasonable Adjustments[19:05] Supporting Employees with Hidden Cancer Diagnoses[21:40] Having the First Conversation About Cancer[24:20] Organisation-Wide HR Strategies[27:26] Book Recommendation & Resources[29:27] How to Reach Tara[29:55] Key Takeaways & ClosingUseful Links and Resources Visit Tara's website:Onward With YouConnect with Tara Ferguson on LinkedInConnect with Fay Wallis on LinkedInLearn about Fay's Inspiring HR Leadership ProgrammeTreat yourself to a copy of The Essential HR PlannerBooks and Resources Recommended in This Episode The Leopard in My House, by Mark SteelTara also mentions a number of resources available through Onward With You, including:A guide covering 12 common questions HR professionals and line managers ask about supporting employees affected by cancerThe Cancer Confidence FrameworkThe Cancer Confidence HR MasterclassEnjoyed This Episode?

Wes Brown takes us inside the Manchester United dressing room at the height of the Sir Alex Ferguson era. From Wayne Rooney arriving with no fear, to Cristiano Ronaldo changing the level, Paul Scholes' outrageous ability, Roy Keane setting the standards, and why finishing third felt like failure – this is a proper first-hand account of what made that United side different. Wes also tells us what training was really like, how Ferguson managed huge personalities, and why the culture inside the club was so hard to replicate. If you want to know what peak Manchester United actually felt like from the inside, this is it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode we answer emails from Mike, Jack, and Andrew.  We discuss how to do forecasting using the risk of a personal injury lawsuit as an example, why historians are generally bad a forecasting and a better approach than assuming causation, reveal Ferguson's Law to be a slippery slope argument, and explain how the 25x expenses rule fits real human behavior better than a mathematically correct 20x expenses calculation. Along the way we thank our donors to the Top of the T-shirt Campaign for the Father McKenna Center and go over the results.Links:Walk for McKenna:  Walk For McKenna - Father McKenna CenterUbiquity:  Ubiquity: Why Catastrophes Happen: Buchanan, Mark: 9780609809983: Amazon.com: BooksBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:If you've ever caught yourself thinking “I know it's unlikely, but what if it happens to me,” this conversation is for you. We take three listener questions and use them to practice a skill that quietly drives good investing: forecasting risk with base rates and clear thinking instead of letting scary stories run the show.First, we dig into a classic retirement planning dilemma: keep an old 401(k) for ERISA creditor protection or roll it into IRAs for a simpler setup. We talk through the possibility effect, why asking random opinions often makes you more anxious, and how using AI research tools can quickly surface the kinds of statistics that bring a decision back down to earth. We also lay out the most practical line of defense for personal liability risk: a properly sized umbrella insurance policy that not only covers claims, but also pays for attorneys when you need them.Next, we tackle Ferguson's Law and the broader genre of “threshold” predictions about US decline, the dollar, and reserve currency fears. We explain why historians and famous experts can be compelling storytellers yet unreliable forecasters, why timeframes make or break any real prediction, and why the most useful response is not panic but diversification, including true diversifiers like managed futures and gold.We close with a psychological question about the 4% rule, safe withdrawal rate planning, and why we often point people to 25x annual expenses instead of 20x even if a higher withdrawal rate might pencil out on paper. If you want a calmer, more actionable way to think about risk parity style investing and retirement, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.Support the show

In this episode of the Facilitation Lab podcast, host Douglas Ferguson interviews Yvette Cronje, Head of UX Design for HP's unified consumer app experience, about how design leadership is shifting as AI compresses production time. Cronje argues that AI hasn't removed the hard part of design so much as relocated it: craft is shifting from executing pixels to judgment, taste, and critique, and teams need shared principles and decision frameworks in place before they diverge into AI-generated options, or misalignment simply accelerates alongside execution. She and Ferguson trace how this plays out in practice, from workshops that align teams on principles before production, to using AI as a critique partner and coaching tool rather than a production shortcut, to the delegation and communication skills leaders increasingly need as ICs manage AI collaborators. They also discuss trust, both customers' trust in AI-driven product features and organizational trust in people through constant change, as a central design and leadership problem. The conversation closes on reframing AI anxiety as an opportunity for curiosity and growth rather than a threat to craft or job security.

Published by Rizzoli and written by Guy Trebay, the book highlights 15 distinct projects spanning from subtle restorations to radical rebuilds across the United States. Scott shares his deep passion for traditional architecture, which was cemented during his time studying Thomas Jefferson's historic designs at the University of Virginia. He explains how to preserve the historical integrity of an old home while ensuring it functions seamlessly for modern, multi-generational living. The Mark of Great Architecture: A successful historical renovation should look completely effortless and timeless, leaving no heavy-handed imprint of the current architect. The goal is to make it look as though the modern updates have always been there. Keep Buildings Alive: Historic buildings should not be "mothballed" or turned into untouched museums; they survive best when they remain active, useful, and adapted for contemporary life. Designing for Reality: Before renovating, homeowners must separate their aspirational lifestyle from their actual daily routine. Do not dedicate vast resources to massive entertaining spaces or chef-level kitchens if you only host twice a year and primarily order takeout. Scale and Intimacy: When dealing with large rooms, create small, intimate seating arrangements—like a pair of chairs by a fireplace or a cozy bay window—so the space feels comfortable for intimate conversations, not just a crowd of twenty-four. Finding a True Builder: Seek out a "builder" who understands the art and craft of construction, rather than just a "contractor" who pushes paperwork. Ask to tour projects they completed five to ten years ago to see how their hidden weatherproofing, finishes, and exterior technologies have actually held up against the elements. Elevating Historic Details: To achieve a historic look without an unlimited budget, focus on substantial millwork. Skip standard big-box trims and visit a local lumber yard for thicker, more shapely door casings, bases, and cornices inspired by historic pattern books. Additionally, major window manufacturers often have specific historical lines featuring traditional putty-stop profiles that add immediate gravitas.

An absolute force. We are sitting down with one of the most powerful storytellers in St. Louis, Cami Cruz Thomas, producer, director, advocate and owner of the film production company My Friends and I. We're talkin' Red Brick, Blue Tarp, 90 second love letters, visual brain worms, poetry as process, grit, surrendering to the thing inside that wants to be heard, cross-country, Red Bull, freedom in the night to try something new, leaps of faith, mutual aid, leadership, dual citizenship across St. Louis, the Ferguson uprising, Ferdinand's Guide to Grief, the people's response to the May 16 tornado, retaining the details of history, and ability to examine your sense of self through the process of making. We are so grateful to Cami for this conversation, for the chance to unpack the work she's done in the arts and in the community—and, of course, to explore the ways St. Louis can reveal who you really are as an artist.

#1046 | United walked away from Fulham with a draw, Mateus Cunha's equaliser cancelling out Lisandro Martinez' own goal. Fulham were there for the taking though. United had 29 shots, 57% possession, and somehow still seemed very passive when it mattered. No disaster, but yet more points leaking away. Ed and Wayne look back on a performance that felt very familiar. The same tactical patterns are playing out. And the same weaknesses in the squad are evident too. The international break offers a moment to reset. We end with a check-in on Wayne's new book.

Lucas Wencl breaks down Antonio Williams, Mack Hollins, Demarcus Robinson, Demond Claiborne and Terrance Ferguson and the opportunities that could push each player into a bigger role. From Williams’ promising early usage with the Washington Commanders to Robinson’s increased opportunity in San Francisco and Claiborne’s upside in a thinning Minnesota Vikings backfield, these are the players worth adding before your league mates catch on. Plus, find out why Hollins could benefit from additional work in New England and why patience could still pay off with Ferguson in the Los Angeles Rams offense.

We’re at the point where Bob Ferguson is just straight up lying about the initiatives. Piers Morgan was left stunned when AI actress Tilly Norwood randomly started speaking Chinese during an interview. // Trump DOJ brilliantly outmaneuvers Patty Murray, handing the president exactly what he wants in Seattle. // Hasan Piker proves once again that he’s an ignoramus.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine newly released economic data showing record median household income, historically low poverty rates, and continued low uninsured rates. They compare recent economic trends across different administrations, debate the role of media coverage in shaping public perception of the economy, and discuss the impact of data center construction on jobs, investment, and market growth.The conversation then turns to two high-profile Senate races. Cruz and Ferguson discuss undercover footage involving Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s pastor, who comments on his campaign messaging and positions on transgender issues. They also examine reports surrounding Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, including controversy involving sermons by his imam, allegations concerning views on Hamas, and El-Sayed’s association with political commentator Hasan Piker. Throughout the episode, the hosts argue that voters should focus on candidates’ stated beliefs, past statements, and political records when evaluating campaigns. New Census Bureau data shows median household income reaching a record high while poverty and child poverty rates fall to historic lows. Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson argue that these economic indicators deserve far more attention and discuss why they believe the story has received limited media coverage. Topics Covered: Record-high median household income and historic poverty-rate data from the Census Bureau Child poverty reaching a reported all-time low Media coverage of economic news and competing national headlines Data center construction, job creation, and stock market growth James Talarico controversy involving comments from his pastor and campaign positioning Abdul El-Sayed, imam-related allegations, and debate over political associations Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben argues that America is already engaged in an AI Cold War with Communist China and warns that slowing AI development could hand a strategic advantage to Beijing. He examines recent concerns over efforts to restrict or delay AI infrastructure projects and explains why those decisions could have far-reaching consequences for economic growth, national security, technological innovation, and global influence. Ferguson also discusses reports from OpenAI and X regarding alleged China-linked influence operations aimed at shaping public opinion around American AI infrastructure. According to the reports, foreign actors allegedly used AI-generated content and coordinated online activity to amplify concerns about data centers, energy usage, and electricity costs. While acknowledging that communities have legitimate questions about energy demand, infrastructure investment, and transparency, he argues that foreign interference in those conversations should raise serious concerns. The episode also explores the economic ripple effects of AI policy debates, including market reactions across semiconductor, technology, energy, and infrastructure sectors. Ferguson makes the case that AI leadership requires far more than advanced software, calling for expanded investment in semiconductors, power generation, transmission systems, skilled labor, and domestic manufacturing capacity. Artificial intelligence has become the defining technological competition of the 21st century, and the battle is no longer theoretical. As the United States and China race for dominance in AI, the debate is increasingly shifting from software to the infrastructure that powers it: microchips, data centers, electricity, and computing power. Topics Covered: The growing AI competition between the United States and China Why data centers, microchips, and electricity are central to AI leadership Alleged China-linked influence campaigns targeting AI infrastructure debates Market reactions across semiconductor and AI-related industries The connection between energy production and AI development National security implications of winning or losing the AI race Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
