Dr. Ken S. Coates is one of Canada's leading historians and analysts on the challenges and opportunities facing the country. After his keynote at Cold Harvest 2025 in St. John's, N.L., Ken sits down with host Ian Roberts to talk about how B.C.'s salmon farming industry could benefit Canada by providing economic stability to coastal communities. His thoughts are based on his recently published Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) paper titled, "Swimming against the tide: The case for salmon fish farming in British Columbia."
Simon opens the show with news that a DSM high school student has been deported and the boldly outrageous statement released by the DSM School Board stating "we care about our students" and that they provide safe schools for students and teachers.

Later, Simon talks to Kelli Klink, Government Relations Director of the IA Cattlemen's Association, about President Trump's comments and commitment to purchasing beef from Argentina.
Simon talks to Iowa Senator David Sires who is calling for the state to take over the DSM school system after Ian Roberts arrest and later talks to Mike Gonzalez from the Heritage Foundation about paid demonstrators

Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, boasted an impressive résumé—complete with a supposed doctor of education degree. But what truly stood out was how Roberts managed to advance his career on a résumé filled with false information. What was real, however, was his record: He was living in the U.S. illegally, had an active deportation […]

Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, boasted an impressive résumé—complete with a supposed doctor of education degree. But what truly stood out was how Roberts managed to advance his career on a résumé filled with false information. What was real, however, was his record: He was living in the U.S. illegally, had an active deportation order, and had a prior weapons charge. How did a man with fake degrees, false citizenship claims, and a criminal record end up leading an entire school district? Victor Davis Hanson says the answer lies in the dangers of DEI on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Why would a sophisticated city and a sophisticated school district hire someone without specifying his citizen status or his degrees? And the answer was: He was a diversity, equity, and inclusion candidate. He was a charismatic, apparently, they thought, black American. This was mostly a white city. It had large minority population. They felt it would be a goodwill gesture to hire the first African American—although he was not an African American, he was a citizen of a foreign country. And he was here illegally. But nevertheless, they thought that would be reflecting on their goodwill, their sensitivity, their liberality. “
Trump and the Republicans have orchestrated the government shutdown that they are trying to blame on Democrats.The military is being mobilized in American cities.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson dive into the latest ITR Foundation poll, offering fresh insight into how Iowans feel about taxes, spending, education, and the state's political environment. With overwhelming bipartisan support for constitutional limits on raising taxes and capping property tax growth, the poll makes clear that taxpayers want stronger protections — and they want them now.The conversation also takes a serious turn with the shocking story of Des Moines school superintendent Ian Roberts, who was detained by federal agents under a long-standing deportation order. Chris and John walk through the facts of the case, raise questions about how Roberts was ever hired to lead Iowa's largest school district, and criticize the evasive responses of Democratic leaders. For Iowans, the scandal isn't just about immigration — it's about accountability in education and government.From there, the hosts return to the numbers: the poll shows Iowa Republicans remain in a strong position heading into 2026, with a +10 point generic ballot advantage even in what should be a difficult midterm environment for the party in power. Education Savings Accounts continue to gain support as more families see their benefits firsthand, while property tax reform remains a political winner that cuts across party lines.The episode closes with a thoughtful exchange on tariffs and trade, showing how conservative views on economic policy are shifting in the Trump era. Chris and John weigh the populist push for tariffs against Iowa's agricultural reliance on global markets, highlighting both risks and opportunities. It's a conversation that shows how national debates directly impact Iowa families and businesses.

We're joined by Leif Weatherby, associate professor at NYU, founding director of the Digital Theory Lab, and author of the new Language Machines: Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism, to think with us about AI, structure, and what happens when computation meets language on their own shared turf. Language Machines is easily the best book about AI written this year and is just a killer antidote to so much dreary doomer consensus, it really feels like one of the first truly constructive pieces of writing we've seen out of academia on this subject. This episode follows really well after two others — our talk with Catherine Malabou earlier this summer and the episode with M. Beatrice Fazi about a year ago (both faves). It feels like theory is opening back up again into simultaneously speculative and structural returns, powered in no small part by the challenges posed to conventional theories of language (from Derrida to Chomsky) by Large Language Models. This episode absolutely rips, literally required listening. Structuralism is so back (and we're here for it). Some important references among many from the episode:Roman Jakobson, “Linguistics and Poetics.”N.

In this powerful episode of the Iowa Manufacturing Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ian Roberts, Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, as he shares his compelling leadership journey and vision for the future of education in Iowa's largest school district. With responsibility for over 31,000 students and 72 aging school buildings, Dr. Roberts discusses the challenges and opportunities ahead, including a $51 million bond referendum on the horizon. He shares how his leadership team embraces change to create environments where all children can thrive and be "well"—academically, emotionally, and physically—in a rapidly evolving world. We're also joined by Frank Kelly, economist and founder of Fulcrum Macro Advisors, who brings a global lens to the conversation. Kelly dives into geopolitical and economic pressures shaping our future, from energy markets to semiconductors, and explores how LGPs (legal government policies) impact health crises like addiction and the fight against global narcotics cartels. With insights on Russia, China, and a shifting Middle East, Kelly links today's challenges with America's upcoming 250th birthday in 2026, echoing Marilyn Monroe: "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." This is a conversation about readiness—for our schools, economy, and global role in the next American chapter.

Gehörst du auch zu den Menschen, die nach jeder ChatGPT-Anfrage erstmal "bitte" und "danke" sagen und sich vielleicht fragen, ob das überhaupt notwendig ist? In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in dieses spannende Thema an der Schnittstelle zwischen Technik, Pragmatik und Gesellschaft: Wie gut kann künstliche Intelligenz Höflichkeit erkennen – und vielleicht sogar selbst höflich agieren?Dafür schauen wir in die Höflichkeitsforschung und klären zunächst, was Höflichkeit eigentlich ist. Mit der Theorie von Penelope Brown und Stephen Levinson schauen wir uns im Detail an, wie wir höflich kommunizieren und warum wir dafür manchmal einen Umweg der Kommunikation wählen. Abschließend schauen wir uns zwei aktuelle Studien genauer an, die untersucht haben, ob und wie KI Höflichkeit verstehen und selbst produzieren kann. Das Ergebnis ist spannend, denn es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt...Ein Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

Join Patrick Georgoff as he welcomes Dr. Gene Moore and Dr. Ian Roberts, two giants in trauma surgery and epidemiology, to discuss tranexamic acid (TXA) in trauma care. Dr. Moore, a legendary trauma surgeon and researcher, and Dr. Roberts, the architect of the CRASH trials, break down the science, controversies, and practical applications of TXA. They explore who should get TXA, when it should be given, optimal dosing, and its potential risks. With insights from landmark trials like CRASH-2, STAMP, PATCH, and ROC TXA, this episode cuts through the confusion surrounding TXA in trauma and traumatic brain injury. Is early administration the key to saving lives? Should TXA be given intramuscularly prehospital? Tune in as we tackle these critical questions and define the future of TXA in trauma care!
