In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson speaks with NPR's Elissa Nadworny to unpack the Trump administration's efforts to withhold federal funding from colleges and universities over issues like antisemitism and DEI practices. They discuss how these unprecedented moves are impacting not campus life, but vital medical and scientific research nationwide. Elissa explains the legal challenges schools like Harvard are mounting in response, the stakes involved for the entire higher education sector, and the broader implications for public policy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Federal Funding as a Lever in Higher Education Policy: The episode opens by surveying recent actions from the Trump administration regarding federal funding for colleges and universities. The administration is using financial levers—pausing, freezing, or cutting funds—to influence policies on campus, particularly tied to issues like DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and antisemitism. Mechanisms and Legality of Federal Control: The speakers discuss how and why the administration has the power to control this funding. The complexities of federal funding—who controls the purse strings, when Congress vs. the executive branch has authority, and what legal mechanisms are at play—come up. The episode highlights that while presidents can make funding conditional, the legality often hinges on whether proper procedures are followed (Administrative Procedures Act), not just on broad authority.Who Really Loses When Funds Are Cut: The speakers emphasize that federal research dollars are not just about student amenities—they fund major scientific, medical, and technological research. The implications of large-scale cuts ripple well beyond campuses, potentially hurting national health, technological innovation, and local economies (since universities are major employers and research hubs).Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

In this conversation, Michael Fisher, founder and CEO of Rotten, shares his journey of building a candy brand from scratch with zero experience in the industry. He talks about the initial trap that many startup CEOs fall into, himself included, of chasing the symbols of success instead of focusing on the business fundamentals.

During the conversation, we touch on the power of learning from advisors, the role of Kickstarter in validating his product concept, and his focus on healthier ingredients while maintaining great taste.

I missed the experience of eating candy.”"I really wanted to have a focus on building a strong brand that people could love.""We have worlds that haven't been explored, you know, Freektopia and all these fun places.”“More than a third of consumers in our category, non-chocolate candy, reported purchasing less candy over the last year. And the number one reason they report that is health and diet concerns."“We are showing that there is demand from people and people are willing to pay a premium for candy that still tastes incredible and gives them some of these health benefits.”“We're gonna win here is if someone eats our candy and it's their favorite candy, regardless of the health benefits.""So that was a fun time for me to play around in my kitchen, but I quickly learned that it's a very technical product to make." Links:Michael Fisher on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-fisher1/Rotten - https://eatrotten.com/Rotten on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/eatrotten/Rotten on Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@eatrottenRotten on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@eatrottenRotten on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/eatrotten/posts/…Dr James Richardson - Evolve CPG episode 74 - https://modernspecies.com/brands-for-a-better-world-podcast/focus-on-your-fans-dr-james-richardson-premium-growth-solutions?rq=rampingRamping Your Brand Book - https://www.rampingyourbrand.com/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio Chapters: 03:00 Introduction to Michael Fisher and Rotten06:09 The Transition from Startup CEO to Real Business08:49 Learning the CPG Landscape12:00 The Role of Advisors and Networking14:59 Kickstarter: A Launchpad for Validation18:11 Personal Connection to Non-Chocolate Candy21:05 Building a Brand with a Narrative23:55 World Building in Brand Development28:31 Creative Collaboration in Candy Design31:49 Building Emotional Connections with Consumers33:01 Competing in the Candy Industry39:05 Formulation Challenges and Product Development47:42 Navigating Legal Challenges with Big Candy53:39 A Vision for a Better World through Options

G'day Folks, On this episode we re-visit the fiasco that is the Fire Ant Eradication Program by the Queensland Government. More has happened since our last show in June 2024. Government Overreach & Property Rights The episode revisits the ongoing “fire ant fiasco,” with guests highlighting how the government has been conducting chemical spraying across Queensland with minimal consultation. Dr. Conny Turni shares her experience of having her property sprayed without proper consent, where officials assumed silence as consent. The discussion underscores a dangerous precedent where residents' rights are being undermined in the name of pest control. Environmental & Health Risks Both guests raise alarm over the environmental devastation caused by the chemicals used in the program. They describe the impact on native ant species, soil health, frogs, and waterways, citing studies that link these chemicals to endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Despite this, no thorough environmental risk assessments have been conducted—especially shocking given the massive 830,000-hectare spray zone. Flawed Execution & Wasteful Spending The government's eradication strategy is criticized as inconsistent and ineffective. Sarah McGuire outlines how $1.5 billion has been spent over 23 years, yet fire ants are 20 times more widespread. The approach is described as poorly managed, with inexperienced workers treating properties haphazardly and inconsistently—suggesting it functions more as an employment scheme than a serious biosecurity program. Legal Challenges & Civil Disobedience The podcast spotlights the arrest of a woman in Samford Valley who refused to allow chemical treatment on her land. The arrest—despite no confirmed fire ants on the property—sparked outrage and legal action. The hosts argue this represents an attack on civil liberties and are encouraging legal resistance through formal objections, signage, and community solidarity. Viable Alternatives & Grassroots Advocacy Importantly, the episode doesn't just criticize—it offers solutions. The guests promote non-toxic methods, such as a hot water fire ant extermination machine developed in the U.S. and now being trialed in Australia. They also encourage Indigenous involvement, legal resistance, and public support to pressure the government for change. The message is clear: there are safer, smarter ways to deal with fire ants—if only the authorities would listen.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon  Trump appeals to SCOTUS on birthright citizenship; Judge says some federal employees must be rehired  The Trump Administration is now taking their appeal for a rethinking of birthright citizenship to the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court has not yet said if they will or will not take the case, but it’s a major update in this fight involving the 14th Amendment. At the same time, a federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration must also rehire thousands of probationary federal workers who were laid off. We begin Inside Sources discussing the latest on these two legal challenges.    Putin agrees ‘in principle’ to temporary ceasefire with Ukraine  New developments today in the potential for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia: Russian President Vladimir Putin said he agrees in principle with a U.S.-backed proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine. Okay... so what does that mean? And is that enough? Inside Sources delves into this update and analyzes whether or not it could lead to lasting peace.    President Trump says he won’t back down on tariffs  The back-and-forth on tariffs continues today. President Trump says he will impose a 200% tariff on all wine, champagne, and alcohol coming in from France and other EU countries. The only way he won't put these tariffs in place is if the European Union lifts the tariffs they put in place on the US ... in response to the President's tariffs that he put in place this week on steel and aluminum imports. The Inside Sources hosts discuss how these reciprocal tariffs are affecting consumer sentiment.    Congressional check-in with Representative Mike Kennedy  Utah's newest Congressman has been in office for just under three months, so we wanted to check in with him on how things are going. 3rd Congressional District Representative Mike Kennedy is sponsoring legislation with Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis that would block 'Wall Street' control of Utah's public lands. He joins Inside Sources to explain the bill and give his takes on the federal budget.    Two methods of providing lunches to Utah’s students  One teacher in Weber County is using TikTok -- and her smooth dance skills -- to raise money for school lunches. Kati Jo Christensen dances on her TikTok channel and raises funds to help pay off school lunch debt for students around the district. While she’s dancing around, we wait to see if Governor Cox will sign HB100, which would also help kids get free lunches at school.   

Diving right into the thick of it, the latest episode of the Rapp Report tackles the intersection of faith and law, a topic that's as spicy as a Southern BBQ in July. Andrew Rapoport welcomes the insightful Davis Younts, a scholar blending his passion for Christianity with a sharp legal mind, to dissect the often contentious relationship between biblical principles and the American legal system. They kick off their chat by addressing the misconception that Christians should shy away from engaging with legal matters, especially regarding legislation that can impact the church and its congregants. Younts elaborates on how understanding faith and law is crucial, particularly in light of recent judicial decisions and the implications for religious freedom. With a sprinkle of humor and a hefty dose of thoughtful analysis, they navigate the complexities of how secular humanism reshapes societal norms and what that means for Christians called to stand firm in their beliefs amidst an ever-evolving legal landscape.Takeaways:The podcast explores the intersection of faith and the legal system, emphasizing that Christians should not shy away from engaging in legal matters. The guest, Davis Younts, stresses the importance of understanding Christian principles in shaping America's legal framework, citing the Bible's historical influences on the Constitution. They discuss the challenges Christians face in a secular world, where legal battles often arise around religious freedom and moral values. The conversation highlights the need for Christians to participate actively in public life and the legal system rather than retreating into silence during times of cultural upheaval.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid welcomes Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on what Congress can do to rein in the worst of Donald Trump's executive orders. Plus, we will discuss Trump's increasingly disturbing plans to "take" Gaza and his insistence that Egypt and Jordan will take in all of Gaza's people, whether they—or the Gazans—want to or not. We also cover the latest battleground in Trump's push to transform the federal bureaucracy and expand executive power—efforts that seem to include Elon Musk, who, after being Trump's biggest campaign donor, now has his staff reportedly rifling through nearly every federal agency, allegedly cutting off funding to whatever they choose, often targeting the most vulnerable Americans, critics say. Meanwhile, Trump has gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, leaving Americans vulnerable to financial scams. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
