Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation discusses the civil war-esque situation with the left in America, how the progressive attack on the idea of citizenship serves globalism, the work that authorities such as the Border Patrol, ICE, and DHS are doing to deal with illegal migrants, the border, the cartels, and more.

Glenn Wiggle, Mike Hoeflich, and Mike Sperrazza dive into the real fallout of Washington's latest government shutdown—and the hypocrisy behind politicians still cashing paychecks while everyday Americans go without. From bloated regulations driving up healthcare costs to the failures of Obamacare, the hosts call out both parties for their inaction and lack of leadership. They break down how excessive government control has crippled competition, inflated costs, and hurt working Americans, arguing for a return to smaller government, personal responsibility, and common sense. Plus, a no-holds-barred discussion on welfare reform, accountability in Congress, and why the GOP must finally deliver.(00:02:15) Impact of Government Shutdown on Individuals and Politicians(00:11:58) Impact of Regulations on Healthcare Accessibility and Costs(00:14:22) Healthcare Overhaul: Promoting Competition and Efficiency(00:24:28) Effective Legislators: Leading for Progress(00:26:37) Republican Party's Lack of Initiative and Action(00:30:24) Republican Party's Urgency for Accountability and Prosecution(00:34:29) State-Level Enforcement of Welfare to Work

It is an honor to sit down with retired Phoenix PD Detective Janicik EdD to discuss her life, career and a topic we cannot have enough education on, crimes against women. We will talk about how she turned personal tragedy into protecting women by raising awareness and educating on how these predators work and target women. Through her work in research, academia, and professional training, Cindy supports police agencies throughout the nation and internationally. A selection of collaborations she finds the most meaningful include: training the delegation of leaders from the Indonesian National Police Force on developing an effective, distance learning training model; serving as an expert on the 30x30 Initiative; supporting the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives through academic writing, educational pathways, and research; and assessing police agency practices in the areas of recruitment, hiring, and retention of sworn and professional staff personnel. Cindy holds a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Communications and a Master's degree in Criminal Justice from Arizona State University, and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, with an emphasis in Criminal Justice, from Northern Arizona University.

Tell us what you think of the show! Ready or not, electric vehicle adoption is happening in America. It feels like we've reached an inflection point- especially as range increases, EVs are simply proving to be a better mousetrap- and now there's a race coast-to-coast to bulk up the charging infrastructure needed to enable the scaling of fleets and longhaul trucking. That's no easy thing to figure out- developers must work closely with utilities to bring these power-sucking sites online without overworking the local grid. And since everyone needs power YESTERDAY, there's a timeliness component to this too- and we all know time means money.The Electric Power Research Institute, better known as EPRI, is taking on the challenge of connecting the dots and facilitating a planning process for the deployment of EV charging projects.On this episode, Factor This Content Director Paul Gerke is joined by EPRI director of transportation Britta Gross to discuss GridFAST, a central, secure portal designed to improve communication between stakeholders, bringing them together early on to ensure everyone gets what they want, when they want it- or as close to it as possible.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

The Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court race on the ballot this Saturday will see voters choosing between incumbent Darren Lombard and challenger Calvin Duncan. Lombard has been in the position since 2022, while Duncan began as an inmate counsel substitute, otherwise known as a jailhouse lawyer, following a wrongful conviction that led him to spend more than 28 years behind bars. Writer and producer Eve Abrams joins us for the latest in the race.It's no secret that political polarization is a major problem in the United States. Now, there's a new project in Louisiana to help address the political divide and find commonalities across the ideological spectrum. The Public Affairs Research (PAR) Council of Louisiana has partnered with LSU's Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs to start a series of events that encourage people with different opinions to talk productively with one another. It's called the Common Ground Project.PAR president Steven Procopio and director of LSU's Reilly Center Michael DiResto join us for more on this initiative. While a lot of the country is packing away its gardening tools, here in Southeast Louisiana, the growing season still has plenty of life left, with opportunities to not only plant crops for the fall but also to prepare for spring.Assistant extension agent for the LSU Ag Center, Chris Dunaway, joins WWNO's Sara Henegan to help us navigate the intricacies of our fall gardens.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

On October 30, US President Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping met in Busan, South Korea. It was their first face-to-face meeting in 6 years. There was a lot at stake in this meeting for the US and China, as well as for the rest of the world. In my view, the outcome is best described as a fragile truce. The path forward for US-China relations remains uncertain – greater stability and predictability is possible, but not assured. Intense competition across several domains, especially technology, is likely.Today's episode focuses on the Trump-Xi summit and the future of US-China relations, featuring Mr. Dennis Wilder. Dennis is a senior fellow for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues at Georgetown University, where he previously served as the managing director, and assistant professor of the practice in Asian studies in the School of Foreign Service. He served on President George W. Bush's NSC first as director for China and then as senior director for Asian Affairs. He also had a distinguished career in the CIA, where he held many positions, the last of which was senior editor of the Presidential Daily Brief.  Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[1:57] Trump-Xi Summit: A Win for China? [09:03] Fact Sheet Discrepancies [14:37] Trump Administration's China Strategy[16:47] Achieving Chinese Exceptionalism[19:20] China's Confidence and Potential Instability[21:26] Why No Taiwan Mention? [24:48] An Inflection Point for Greater Stability? [27:50] Indo-Pacific View of the US-China Relationship

Die deutsche Industrie steckt in einer schweren Krise: Seit 2018 gehen kontinuierlich Arbeitsplätze verloren, inzwischen fallen jeden Montag etwa 10.000 Stellen weg. Viele Unternehmen liebäugeln offen mit dem Abschied aus Deutschland. Sie beklagen einen tödlichen Cocktail aus erdrückender Bürokratie, hohen Energie- und Lohnnebenkosten.Lässt sich der Abwärtstrend stoppen? Darüber diskutieren Claudia Kemfert, Sabine Nallinger und Sepp Müller in dieser Live-Ausgabe des "Klima-Labors": Was bringt ein Industriestrompreis? Ist bezahlbarer grüner Wasserstoff realisierbar oder eine Fantasie? Müssen wir der Industrie zuliebe zum russischen Gas zurückkehren? Muss der Staat bei wichtigen Unternehmen einsteigen? Hilft letztlich doch nur der Kahlschlag beim Klimaschutz?Die Gäste:Claudia Kemfert, Professorin für Energiewirtschaft und Energiepolitik an der Leuphana Universität in Lüneburg und Leiterin der Abteilung Energie, Verkehr, Umwelt am DIW.Sabine Nallinger, Vorständin der Stiftung Klimawirtschaft in Berlin. Die Stiftung ist eine Initiative von Vorstandsvorsitzenden, Geschäftsführern und Familienunternehmern, um sektor- und branchenübergreifend Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit für eine erfolgreiche deutsche Industrie zu fördern.Sepp Müller, stellvertretender Fraktionschef von CDU/CSU im Bundestag sowie Fraktionssprecher für Wirtschaft und Energie.Moderation?

Send us a textLibby Roderick is a singer, songwriter, and recording artist, who was born in Anchorage just before statehood. Her father Jack Roderick was the last mayor of the borough of Anchorage prior to the unification of the municipality in 1975. Libby recorded her first album in 1990 which included the song, “How could Anyone,” which has been featured on CNN, CBS, and the Associated Press. Her music has been featured at the U.N. Conference on Women, with Coretta Scott King and Walter Cronkite in Washington D.C., and played on Mars by NASA. Libby has also been the director of the University of Alaska Anchorage's Difficult Dialogues Initiative since 2006; through that initiative she has helped reinforce and protect civil discourse at centers of higher learning and beyond. According to former UAA Chancellor and governor of Alaska Sean Parnell: “Libby's work is a critical keystone in the university's service to students and to Alaska. The democracy-threatening polarization of the American public, social media's influence on our inability to find common ground, and the difficult but necessary discussions related to human dignity and educational access have combined to maker her leadership paramount to meeting the mission to the university.” 

Die Erbschaftssteuer-Initaitive der Juso zielt auf die Reichsten im Land: Sie sollen auf Vermögen über 50 Millionen Franken 50 Prozent Erbschaftssteuern zahlen. Das Geld soll in den Klimaschutz fliessen. Ist das nur fair - oder eine Enteignung? Die Debatte. Für den SP-Vizepräsidenten David Roth sind die 50 Prozent Erbschaftssteuern auf Vermögen über 50 Millionen Franken nur fair: Schliesslich seien Superreiche massgeblich für den Klimawandel verantwortlich. Die Initiative entspreche somit dem Verursacherprinzip. Ganz anders sieht dies SVP-Nationalrätin Diana Gutjahr: Gerade Vermögende würden in den Klimaschutz investieren. Zudem zahle das reichste Prozent der Bevölkerung bereits heute die Hälfte aller Vermögenssteuern und über 40 Prozent der Bundessteuern. Uneinig sind sich die Beiden auch bei den Folgen der Initiative. Während Diana Gutjahr einen Wegzug der meisten Betroffenen prophezeit, spricht David Roth von Panikmache: Vermögende hätten Verbindungen zur Schweiz und würden nicht einfach wegziehen. Überdies verlange die Initiative Massnahmen gegen Steuervermeidung durch Wegziehen. Die SRF-Abstimmungskontroverse moderiert Dominik Meier.

Welcome to the launch of the "Establish Initiative," a vision to move the church from a planting phase to becoming a rooted, multiplying multi-ethnic movement of disciples in the city, with a goal to raise $500,000 by the end of 2025. This week, Carlos Lollett stresses the principle that true generosity comes from a heart of sacrifice, not surplus, drawing heavily on the biblical account of The Widow's Mite where Jesus valued her small, sacrificial offering more than the large sums given from the rich's abundance.

As the prospect of import tariffs and drug price reform marshals billions of biopharma investment dollars into the U.S., the feasibility of rapid domestic manufacturing buildouts could hinge on a new program cooking at the FDA. How that program, dubbed PreCheck, will work in practice—and on what timeline—are key questions as the U.S. looks to bolster its local pharmaceutical production base. This week on “The Top Line,” we dive into comments from a recent public meeting on the industry’s hopes for PreCheck, which is being designed to streamline the process by which new biopharma manufacturing facilities are built in the U.S. Fierce Pharma’s Fraiser Kansteiner sits down with Christopher Shilling, chief regulatory officer at gene therapy CDMO Forge Biologics—who attended the meeting—to offer an on-the-ground perspective and explore the aspects of the plan that could have the biggest impact on manufacturers. Shilling also outlines what he sees as FDA’s next steps, plus regulatory considerations that could most benefit CDMOs and the broader industry. To learn more about the topics in this episode: Amid tariff-fueled onshoring push, Trump signs order to boost US stockpiling of certain drug ingredients FDA launches generics pilot program, advances facility PreCheck proposal in bid to incentivize US drug manufacturing Amid pharma's US investment spree, FDA unveils new program to streamline domestic plant build-outs Trump signs executive order to boost US drug manufacturing amid threat of tariffs See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and the system built around it, and yet, this international order has been undergoing tremendous pressure tests. Against this backdrop, the international community has been looking for consensus and finding ways to deal with the growing uncertainties. And China, most recently, proposed the Global Governance Initiative. The Initiative emphasizes sovereign equality, international rule of law, multilateralism, people-centered development, and focuses on real results and pragmatism. What role can the media play? Can the media help in filling the deficit in global governance? In what ways can we achieve more with united effort?

In this episode, we have a special guest Professor Achim Kemmerling and we talk about what it means to protect knowledge when mobility is not an option.Professor Achim Kemmerling leads Research-at-Risk, an initiative at the Brandt School that reimagines how universities in safer contexts can support scholars working under authoritarian regimes or in resource-poor environments. From Myanmar to Afghanistan, his work traces the fragile infrastructures that sustain teaching and research under threat and often outside official recognition or accreditation.We discuss why most existing programs remain trapped in the language of excellence, why mobility has become a default but insufficient response, and what solidarity looks like when it is built from below. You can find more about this iniative on this link: Scholars at riskIt's a conversation about bureaucracy and hope, about academic freedom that survives not through exile alone but through connection, care, and persistence.Follow us on social media:Facebook LinkedInSubstack

I learned a lot in this conversation with Alison Mau about her life and journey and what has led to the setting up of Tika.  Curiousity guided the questions and we talk about a lot of things starting with her childhood, growing up in Melbourne, experiences at primary school that shaped her and led to a resilient attitude, the special bond she feels with horses and why that is so, becoming a journalist back in the analogue days before lots of computers or dictaphons, and her presenting on TV and how she ended up in New Zealand.  Then we focus in on the setting up of Tika which is a charity that empowers people to come forward to report past sexual harm and how it works, what it means and the future potential.   And an encouragment for us all: "Happiness for me is not in money, possessions or anything like that - it is, how can I be useful..."

Die New Yorker sind gestern in großer Zahl zur Wahl gegangen und haben den ersten demokratischen Sozialisten und ersten muslimischen Bürgermeister der Stadt gewählt. Virginia hat seine erste Gouverneurin gewählt, eine gemäßigte Demokratin aus einem konservativen Wahlkreis. Die Kalifornier haben mit überwältigender Mehrheit beschlossen, ihre Wahlkreiseinteilung zu ändern, um zu verhindern, dass die Republikaner einen unfairen Vorteil im Kongress erlangen. Es war eine große Nacht für die Demokraten – aber was bedeutet das für die Zukunft der Partei? Welche Lehren kann eine Partei ziehen, die sich mitten in einer Identitätskrise befindet und keine klare Führung hat?

In der Stadt New York wird ein Demokrat Stadtpräsident und auch in den US-Bundesstaaten Virginia und New Jersey gewinnen die Kandidatinnen der demokratischen Partei die Gouverneurswahlen. Ein Kenner der US-Politik ordnet ein, welche Bedeutung die Wahl für US-Präsident Donald Trump hat. Weitere Themen in dieser Sendung: · US-Präsident Donald Trump hat sich mit Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der Schweiz getroffen, das hat Trump auf seiner eigenen Social-Media-Plattform geschrieben. Thema: die hohen US-Zölle auf Schweizer Importe in die USA. Doch mit wem sich Trump genau getroffen hat, ist nicht klar. · Im nächsten Sommer dürfte die Schweiz über die SVP-Initiative «Keine 10 Millionen-Schweiz» abstimmen. Sie verlangt eine Obergrenze fürs Bevölkerungswachstum und in letzter Konsequenz die Kündigung der Personenfreizügigkeit mit der EU. Nun zeichnet sich immer deutlicher ab: Es wird keinen Gegenvorschlag zu dieser Initiative geben. Für einen solchen Gegenvorschlag hat sich die Mitte Partei stark gemacht. Warum ist es ihr nicht gelungen, einen Gegenvorschlag zu finden? · Eine prägende Figur der amerikanischen Politik ist tot: Der ehemalige US-Vizepräsident Dick Cheney ist im Alter von 84 Jahren gestorben. Unter George W. Bush war er von 2001 bis 2009 der zweitmächtigste Mann im Weissen Haus. Das ist die Zeit, in der die USA in Afghanistan und im Irak einmarschiert sind. Welche Rolle hat Cheney in diesen Kriegen damals gespielt?

Am 30. November entscheidet die Schweizer Stimmbevölkerung über die Erbschaftssteuer-Initiative der Juso: Auf Erbschaften und Schenkungen soll künftig ab einem Freibetrag von 50 Millionen Franken eine Steuer von 50 Prozent erhoben werden. Die Einnahmen sollen in den Klimaschutz investiert werden. Kaum ein Volksbegehren hat bereits vor dem eigentlichen Abstimmungskampf derart für Aufsehen gesorgt wie die Erbschaftssteuer-Initiative der Juso. Befürworterinnen und Gegner streiten über die Folgen der Initiative, welche eine Erbschaftssteuer von 50 Prozent ab einem Freibetrag von 50 Millionen Franken verlangt. Zur Einordnung: Über ein Vermögen von mehr als 50 Millionen Franken verfügen gemäss Botschaft des Bundesrats in der Schweiz etwa 2500 Personen. Die Einnahmen aus der neuen Steuer sollen für die «sozial gerechte Bekämpfung der Klimakrise» verwendet werden. Gerecht oder gefährlich? Die Befürworter betonen, dass mit den reichen Personen die Verantwortlichen zur Kasse gebeten würden: Sie belasteten das Klima stärker als der Durchschnitt, deshalb sei es nur gerecht, wenn diese einen grösseren Beitrag an den Klimaschutz leisten würden. Die Gegnerinnen warnen: Die Initiative würde die stärksten Steuerzahler vertreiben und Familienunternehmen zerstören. Das führe zu Steuerausfällen, die der Mittelstand tragen müsste. Sorgt die Initiative für eine faire und ausreichend finanzierte Klimapolitik? Oder gefährdet sie Schweizer Unternehmen und zerstört Arbeitsplätze? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 5. November 2025 als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Mirjam Hostetmann, Präsidentin Juso; – Katharina Prelicz-Huber, Nationalrätin Grüne/ZH; und – David Roth, Vize-Präsident SP. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Karin Keller-Sutter, Bundespräsidentin und Vorsteherin EFD; – Peter Spuhler, Verwaltungsratspräsident Stadler Rail; und – Jürg Grossen, Präsident GLP.

Volljährige Männer aus der Schweiz müssen für einen Dienst einrücken. Entweder in die Armee, in den Zivilschutz oder in den Zivildienst. Die Wehrpflicht ist dabei nur auf ein Geschlecht begrenzt: Männer müssen, Frauen dürfen.Die Service-Citoyen-Initiative will das ändern. Ende Monat stimmen wir darüber ab, ob eine allgemeine Dienstpflicht eingeführt werden soll. Laut der Initiative sollen Schweizerinnen und Schweizer - je nach Ausgestaltung auch Ausländerinnen und Ausländer - einen obligatorischen Dienst für die Allgemeinheit absolvieren.Die Initianten versprechen sich davon mehr Solidarität in der Gesellschaft, ein stärkerens Miteinander. Die Gegnerinnen und Gegner finden, die Initiative würde das aktuelle Milizsystem untergraben – und Frauen würden heute schon genug machen.Was ist an diesen Argumenten dran?

How do you build a sustainable e-waste management system in Kenya? In this episode, Jane Muriithi and Thuo Lawrence from E-waste Initiative Kenya (EWIK) talk about their approach to e-waste management across Kenya. Jane describes EWIK's collection model through drop-off points and door-to-door pickups across multiple cities, their repair and refurbishment process, and the challenges of managing different materials when items can't be repaired. You'll also hear about EWIK's skills training programs for youth, including e-waste handling and ICT repair, with specific support for young mothers through onsite childcare, entrepreneurship courses, and mentorship. Thuo explains their research mapping Kenya's e-waste value chain through stakeholder interviews to inform Extended Producer Responsibility schemes. Listen to know how to build environmental and social impact through e-waste management, and to understand why partnerships necessary to scale e-waste recycling across East Africa.

Sollen künftig alle jungen Menschen einen Dienst für die Allgemeinheit leisten – Männer wie auch Frauen? GLP-Nationalrat und Befürworter Beat Flach und Mitte-Ständerätin und Gegnerin Andrea Gmür diskutieren über die Service-citoyen-Initiative, über die wir am 30. November abstimmen. Die Service-citoyen-Initiative verlangt, dass das heutige Wehrpflichtsystem abgelöst wird von einem Dienst für die Allgemeinheit. Alle, Männer und Frauen, sollen künftig einen Dienst für die Sicherheit, die Umwelt oder die Gemeinschaft leisten. Dieser Dienst kann in der Armee, im Zivilschutz oder in anderen Bereichen wie Umwelt- und Katastrophenschutz geleistet werden. Die Bestände von Armee und Zivilschutz sollen in der Verfassung garantiert werden. Die Gegnerinnen und Gegner befürchten eine Schwächung der Armee, weil die Wehrpflicht abgeschafft würde. Zudem widerspreche die Initiative dem Zwangsarbeitsverbot nach UNO-Konvention hätte hohe Kosten für den Staat und die Wirtschaft zur Folge. Auch wird eingewendet, dass Frauen heute bereits viel Care-Arbeit leisten und es unfair wäre, ihnen weitere Pflichten aufzuerlegen. Die Abstimmungskontroverse leitet Livia Middendorp.

Send us a textHow mitochondria travel between cells and how this hidden communication shapes metabolism, immunity, and even potential therapies.Episode Summary: Dr. Jon Brestoff talks about mitochondrial dynamics inside cells, their transfer between unrelated cells (distinct from inheritance during division), and its roles in adipose tissue communication, macrophage cleanup, and systemic metabolic signaling; they explore how high-fat diets disrupt this process, potential hormetic benefits, therapeutic mitochondria transplantation for diseases like Leigh syndrome and obesity, and broader immunometabolism crosstalk.About the guest: Jon Brestoff, MD, PhD is an associate professor of pathology and immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where he directs the Initiative for Immunometabolism.Discussion Points:Mitochondria per cell range from ~100-5000; they move via fusion/fission, vertical inheritance (cell division), or horizontal transfer without division.Transfer mechanisms: free release, extracellular vesicles, or tunneling nanotubes using cytoskeleton transport.In healthy fat tissue, adipocytes routinely donate mitochondria to macrophages for degradation (quality control); high-fat (lard-based, long-chain FA) diets block macrophage uptake, diverting mitochondria to other organs.Diverted mitochondria may induce “mito-hormesis” (mild oxidative stress boosting antioxidants) or signal adipocyte metabolic status inter-organ.Mitochondria transplantation shows promise in animal models for ischemia-reperfusion, obesity, and mitochondrial diseases.Immune cells prefer glycolysis but have low mitochondrial biomass; transplanted mitochondria tilt T-cells toward anti-inflammatory regulatory phenotype.Circulating cell-free mitochondria rival immune cell numbers.Obesity inflammation stems from dying oversized adipocytes releasing lipids/mitochondria, forming crown-like structures with pro-inflammatory macrophages.Leigh syndrome from genetic mutations disrupting the electron transport chain.Transfer may be an evolutionary relic of endosymbiosis; cells may selectively use exogenous mitochondria like a “generator” during metabolic crisis.Reference Paper:Study: The power and potential of mitochondria transferRelated Episode:M&M 260: Energy Resistance Principle in Life, Healing & Disease | Martin Picard & Nirosha MuruganSupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

In this message given at Vanguard Church of Colorado Springs, Tosha Williams shares how a pre-dawn vision sparked a new journey when God whispered two unexpected words: “Transfiguration Prayer.” From that moment, she invites us up the mountain where Jesus shines, showing that real prayer isn't about polished words but about a surrendered heart that practices seeking God's presence.Drawing from Matthew 17, Mark 9, Luke 9, Romans 12, and 2 Corinthians 3, we discover that beholding Christ changes us and sends us back into the valley with courage, compassion, and power that truly help people. Along the way, Moses and Elijah step forward as mentors in intercession and faith, while Peter, James, and John teach us through both their weakness and their yes.The Father's voice reframes our priorities with the words “Listen to Him,” calling us to shift our focus from good things to the greatest thing. This message connects the dots between a private encounter and a public mission: from cloud to crowd, from awe to action, from seeking Him to speaking Him in our families, friendships, and neighborhoods.This message also launches a week of intentional prayer featuring short daily podcasts, devotion-driven guides, and an open Encounter Room to make space for God. The goal is not hype but intimacy that fuels impact.If you have felt stuck, tired, or wordless, let this be your invitation to go somewhere new with Jesus and to carry His presence into the places you live. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and ask yourself, Where will you meet with God this week? Your mountain might be a chair, a car, or a quiet corner. When you listen to Him, heaven meets here.#TransfigurationPrayer #ToshaWilliams #VanguardChurch #PrayerAndTransformation #BeholdingChrist #ListenToHim #SeekHimSpeakHim #IntimacyWithGod______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

6. US Military Infrastructure Needs Seek $150 Billion Investment from Private Equity Elizabeth Peek, Fox News and The Hill, with John Batchelor Peek discusses the initiative by the President and his counselor to invite private equity firms to propose creative ideas for funding crucial infrastructure needs estimated at $150 billion. These necessary projects include building military bases and data centers for the future of AI and national security. Ideas welcomed involve trading land or offering investment opportunities for equity firms in the military department. Private equity manages vast sums, cited at $13 trillion, and is enthusiastically seeking decent returns on investment. The effort is part of a broader deal-making drive, similar to the rare earth agreement with Australia designed to offset China's capital contr
