On this episode of Without a Country, Corinne Fisher dives deep into the rapidly developing Cornell University gang r4pe case, including new reporting that the Tompkins County District Attorney reopened the criminal investigation, revelations about what Jane Doe actually told campus police, the DA's claim that he never saw a transcript in which she explicitly said she was r4ped, disturbing fraternity group-chat messages including “shop still open," confirmation that the alleged assault was never reported to the Ithaca Police Department, and the impact New York's Voluntary Intoxication Exclusion has had on the case. Corinne also reads firsthand accounts from listeners about SA culture at elite colleges and an anonymous Cornell employee's account of how the university has handled the scandal internally. Before that, Corinne and Mike discuss two “Enemies of the State,” including Michael Tracey's attempt to identify the Cornell Jane Doe and viral victim-blaming rage bait surrounding the case; read listener mail about a positive surrogacy experience; examine warnings from AI researchers and anonymous industry insiders about the race to build increasingly powerful AI systems; and close with updates on the Nolan Wells death investigation, Lindsay Clancy's case following her mistrial, and the extraordinary last-minute legal battle over Tennessee death-row prisoner Christa Pike as the Supreme Court clears the way for what would be Tennessee's first execution of a woman in more than 200 years.LOS ANGELES!

In early July, Cassie Pritchard argued on Twitter that liberalism had failed; it bet the farm on economic progress making people happier, but although it delivered impressive economic progress, happiness had failed to follow. In late July, I countered that Pritchard had made a mistake by comparing happiness to income, when the literature instead supports a correlation of happiness with log(income). Add the log term, and most happiness-income relationships reappear, and liberalism goes back to looking pretty good. Last week, Pritchard responded on her Substack. I don't have the interest to give this the full treatment it requires, but she deserves some response, so I'll make a few points. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/re-re-re-pritchard-on-liberal-happiness

A Tale Of Two Liberal Gay Guys by Derek Hunter

Bill speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Vincent Greenwood about his book, Puppet on a String, and Greenwood's argument that Donald Trump fits the criteria for clinical psychopathy. Greenwood explains his assessment process, why he says an in-person interview is not required, and why he believes the condition has serious implications for Trump's conduct in office.They discuss the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, the traits Greenwood says are most relevant to Trump, and why he views the book as a warning to the public and to constitutional decision makers.Greenwood says an in-person exam isn't required: He describes evaluating behavior through records, interviews, biographies, and other public evidence.The book's central metaphor: The “puppeteer” is clinical psychopathy, the “puppet” is Trump, and the “prey” is the public affected by harmful behavior.Psychopathy is a pattern of traits: Greenwood presents it as a combination of behavioral tendencies, emotional deficits, and harm to others.The conversation covers traits including glibness, grandiosity, pathological lying, lack of remorse, callousness, impulsivity, and irresponsibility.Greenwood's reported score: He says Trump scored 32 on the checklist, above the commonly cited cutoff of 30 to diagnose a psychopath. Three traits Greenwood says matter in office: Impulsivity, remorselessness, and an insatiable drive to dominate. Greenwood argues these traits can shape decision-making, responses to tragedy, demands for loyalty, and political polarization.The book is a warning: Greenwood describes it as an effort to inform Congress, the cabinet, and the public.You can get your own copy of this important book at Bookshop.org.

In this episode of On The Line, host Matt Gurney is joined by Stephanie Levitz of The Globe and Mail's parliamentary bureau to tackle four big questions about life in Ottawa under prime minister Mark Carney.This episode is brought to you by BioCanRx. We've been partnering with federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit BioCanRx to learn how made-in-Canada immunotherapies offer new ways to beat cancer. This September we're focusing on the "made-in-Canada" part.Unlike other G7 nations, Canada lacks an anchor company and patient capital with pockets deep enough to pay for the lengthy process of bringing drugs to the Canadian market. Not for profits like BioCanRx are stepping in, but if the government decides to inject funding into the pipeline, how can we be sure money is going to projects with a real chance to succeed? Performance monitoring is essential, because if you're going to fail it's better to do it quickly. BioCanRx checks on all its funded projects every six months. Advised by a group of international experts, project milestones are tracked and, if necessary, funds can be cut.Government departments won't have the technical expertise to scrutinize researchers that closely, but by leveraging partners with the necessary expertise they could make sure taxpayer dollars are being invested wisely. Thanks to BioCanRx for continuing to help us tell this story. Visit BioCanRx.com to learn more.First: what is Carney actually doing? Matt and Stephanie look at both his day-to-day activities and the larger mission taking shape around his government. They also dig into the legislative agenda now before the House of Commons, including major economic legislation the government has made a centrepiece of the fall sitting. Can Carney get it done? The opposition may not be able to stop him — but what about divisions within the Liberal caucus?This episode is also brought to you by the Forest Products Association of Canada. Every budget season brings endless ideas for how Ottawa should spend. But some of the best ways to strengthen Canada's economy don't require a massive price tag.For Canada's forest products sector, real growth starts with dismantling made-in-Canada barriers: cutting regulatory duplication, fixing supply chain bottlenecks, securing predictable, cost-competitive access to fibre, and creating more certainty for investment.We can't control every global challenge facing our industry, but we can remove the barriers created right here at home.Discover how smarter policy drives economic growth at FPAC.ca.Next: what has happened to Parliament itself? After the strange final stretch of the Trudeau era, there's a new boss in town. Dress codes have changed. The workers are back in their cubicles. And the opposition is still figuring out how to respond (we assume). Who is going to hold Carney accountable when the inevitable screw-ups happen? And why might the answer be … Quebec?This episode is also brought to you by Cardus. For years, Ayaan Hirsi Ali was one of the most famous atheists in the world. Then she converted to Christianity. Now she argues that faith is the key to renewing Western civilization. Hear her make the case live in Calgary, October 8th, at the 2026 Ian Shugart Lecture, hosted by the think tank Cardus.

What can we expect from a make-or-break federal budget delivered in the middle of a trade war? Rudyard and Andrew look at the growing appetite in the business community for broad tax reform—and ask whether now is the moment for Canada to make itself as competitive as possible for investment. If the government wants to deliver meaningful tax cuts, they argue, it will need to tackle spending, including business subsidies, so that companies make investment decisions based on economics rather than government incentives. And with Carney's government far ahead in the polls and a “wolf” named Trump at the door, is there any better time for the government to spend its political capital on bold economic reform?Given the government's retreat from climate commitments, rollback of the capital-gains tax increase, support for pipeline building and moves on immigration reform—is this really a Liberal government? Andrew argues that it is much easier for a Liberal government to do conservative things than for a Conservative government to do conservative things. With Carney enjoying extraordinary freedom of movement, almost akin to a wartime situation, he is taking full advantage of it. But where does that leave the Conservatives?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Dario spent Sunday running a Berlin polling station, which is the closest either of us gets to democracy as a physical process rather than an argument. The count added up. What stayed with him was the man who voted, called the whole thing rigged on his way out, and stared down the volunteers as though counting his ballot were an act of defiance. That scene, repeated across three regional elections, is where this episode starts.The results were a blow to the centre. Merz's conservatives fell below the threshold in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the AfD took a plurality in Saxony-Anhalt, and Berlin swung left. The German press met this with hyperbole rather than analysis, warning of caliphates and a returning GDR, which tells you more about the frailty of the system than about the voters. We draw the distinction we keep returning to: the far left may pursue policies that damage liberal democracy, such as expropriating housing, but it is not trying to end the system, whereas the far right says openly that it will. And we put more blame on neither extreme than on the centrist parties of the last thirty years, the Clintons and Blairs who mistook managing markets for governing and produced the disenfranchisement now feeding both flanks.Underneath it runs the harder question of what voting is even for. Not an individual right that benefits you, since one ballot changes nothing, but a mass check on power that only works if people keep making the effort and keep a basic trust in each other. That trust is nearly gone, which is why gerrymandering, party bans and self-dealing all look tempting and all corrode the thing they claim to defend. Liberal democracy may simply not be built to last, and whether it does now rests on voters choosing to keep it alive.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

What the hell happened on the tarmac with President Xi yesterday? The White House released a bizarre AI image of the event. It's fun to see a bully in fear and pain. A Trump appoint judge overruled White House on CNN/MSNOW/Politico ban. The press needs to stop being stenographers. The ballroom is a death trap. Donald is creating an eyesore Voltron. Donald wants his name on Ford's Theater. John Wilkes Booth's leg-breaking stage leap. The FBI was hacked. Good news about the midterms and Donald's polling among independents.

When Donald Trump sent masked immigration agents to Minneapolis during "Operation Metro Surge" in January, we all saw - captured on cellphone videos - ICE agents engaging in countless acts of excessive force, violent assaults, and unconstitutional conduct in violation of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. At long last, we now have our first criminal indictment of an ICE agent for crimes committed in Minneapolis back in January. Glenn reviews and explains the two indictments - one in state court and one in federal court - charging former ICE agent Christian Castro with numerous crimes.
