Zepto is doubling down on cold chain infrastructure to improve margins and quality. CEO Aadit Palicha is actively seeking cold supply chain experts to enhance operations. The company has partnered with Transport Corporation of India to expand storage in the South. Fruits and vegetables account for 8-10% of quick commerce sales but face 15% wastage due to India's fragmented cold chain. The market is projected to grow from $14.5 billion (2023) to $53 billion (2032). Zepto's private-label meat brand, Relish, leveraged cold logistics to hit ₹150 crore ARR in six months. Zomato Lays Off 600 Employees Amid Automation Push Zomato has reportedly laid off 600 customer support employees in a bid to cut costs as growth slows. The layoffs follow AI-driven automation in customer service and financial pressures at its quick commerce arm, Blinkit. Employees claim they were dismissed without notice periods or clear explanations, while Zomato cites performance issues. On Reddit, ex-employees shared grievances, with one alleging termination for being late by 28 minutes over three months. Despite the layoffs, Zomato's stock closed 0.84% higher at ₹203.20. Aditya Birla Exits Paper Business, Sells to ITC for ₹3,500 Crore Aditya Birla Real Estate Ltd (ABREL) is exiting the paper sector, selling Century Pulp and Paper to ITC Ltd for ₹3,500 crore. The deal surpassed estimates, with Nomura valuing it at 18x EV/EBITDA for FY25. ABREL's paper segment has struggled, with revenue falling 5.5% YoY in FY24 and margins shrinking by 410 basis points. The sale will help reduce net debt (₹4,300 crore) to near-zero, boosting ABREL's real estate expansion. However, significant cash flow from projects like Niyaara will only materialize from FY27 onwards. ABREL's stock is down 21% in 2025, and investors await Q4 results and the Niyaara Phase 3 launch in FY26. CAG Report Flags Revenue Losses, Weak Oversight in Telecom & Digital Infra The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has raised alarms over governance failures in telecom, electronics, and postal services: • Telecom: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) failed to recover ₹2,463.67 crore from telcos due to delayed audits. BSNL lost ₹1,757.76 crore by failing to bill Reliance Jio for technology use. • Electronics Manufacturing: Under M-SIPS, only ₹2,136 crore was disbursed from ₹36,991 crore in committed investments, causing policy instability for investors. • Digital Infrastructure: The ₹6,548-crore National Knowledge Network for research institutions was flagged for poor bandwidth utilization and cybersecurity gaps. • Postal Services: GST mismanagement and irregular promotions resulted in ₹17.22 crore in tax losses. The findings expose execution flaws in India's push for digital self-reliance. Shapoorji Pallonji Faces Insolvency Plea Over Unpaid ₹2.72 Crore The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)-Mumbai has issued a notice to Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Pvt. Ltd (SPCPL) over an insolvency plea filed by Chennai-based Intertouch Metal Buildings Pvt. Ltd. The roofing firm alleges unpaid dues for work on Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport. SPCPL must respond within seven days, with the next hearing on April 24. This isn't SPCPL's first insolvency dispute. In October 2024, NCLT dismissed a similar plea by KBC Infrastructure, ruling that insolvency laws cannot be used as a debt recovery tool. As legal proceedings unfold, all eyes are on Shapoorji Pallonji's response and whether the case progresses to full-fledged insolvency.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, February 6, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. In January, Prime Minister Modi introduced Mission Mausam, a significant climate forecasting initiative, receiving ₹1,329 crore in funding for FY26. But is this sufficient? Soumya Gupta explores. The mission, overseen by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, aims to enhance India's climate change predictions and track extreme weather with new technologies, including AI-enhanced models and advanced satellites. Initially funded with ₹2,000 crore, its budget includes ₹671 crore for FY25 and the remainder for FY26. India's climate strategy extends beyond Mission Mausam. The Ministry has integrated four programs into its PRITHVI scheme, focusing on climate research in critical regions like the Arctic and Himalayas, with a budget exceeding ₹2,500 crore through FY26. Overall, India plans to allocate over ₹50,000 crore in FY25 and nearly ₹62,000 crore in FY26 to combat climate change. Despite these investments, they account for just 1.2% of the total budget for FY26, far from the ₹57 trillion pledged through 2030 for comprehensive climate change measures. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman advocates a full-stack approach for India's AI development, contrasting with his 2023 stance where he deemed competing in AI training as "hopeless." He discussed this shift in an interview with Hindustan Times' editor-in-chief R Sukumar on Wednesday before reiterating his opinion at a discussion with IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw the same morning. Altman points to a drastic cost reduction in AI, which now surpasses the rate predicted by Moore's Law, stating costs drop tenfold annually. This change supports more expansive AI initiatives, including foundational models which underpin technologies like ChatGPT. At his discussion with Altman later, IT minister Vaishnaw emphasized India's comprehensive strategy, from chip design to application development, drawing parallels to India's cost-effective space missions. He noted promising developments from six Indian entities poised to unveil foundational AI models within the year. In discussions with tech leaders and investors, Altman remarked on the immediate potential of AI to enhance scientific research and development significantly but tempered expectations about its current capabilities, such as curing diseases.India's services sector saw its slowest growth in over two years this January, with the HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) reading dropping to 56.5 from December's 59.3, according to S&P Global. Despite this slowdown, the sector remains in expansion territory, above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction. Rhik Kundu reports that the dip is attributed to decreased customer numbers and a softer rise in sales and output. HSBC's chief India economist, Pranjul Bhandari, noted that both business activity and new business indices have not been this low since November 2022. However, the new export business has provided some cushion, reflecting a rebound in services exports as of December 2024. Simultaneously, India's manufacturing sector showed improvement, with the Manufacturing PMI climbing to a six-month high of 57.7 in January, driven by an increase in new export orders. India is currently experiencing two rare events: the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, occurring once every 144 years, and an unexpectedly cheerful middle class following the Union Budget 2025-26. This year's budget has infused ₹1 trillion into the economy via tax rebates to middle-income earners, marking a significant shift in fiscal policy that could ripple through the economy and the equity markets. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced substantial tax breaks that not only increase disposable income but are set to initiate a beneficial economic cycle through the Marginal Propensity to Consume. For instance, an extra ₹50,000 in a taxpayer's pocket could lead to additional spending of ₹30,000, benefiting various sectors of the economy. This increased consumption is projected to generate an economic impact of ₹2.5 trillion, based on an MPC of 0.7, indicating a significant boost to economic activity. Abhishek Mukherjee takes a deep dive into how equity investors can ride the post-budget wave in today's Long Story.  Two former SpiceJet pilots have petitioned the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Delhi to declare the airline bankrupt over ₹3 crore in unpaid dues. The pilots, Sameer Breja and Karan Gupta, claim SpiceJet didn't pay salary arrears and other dues since 2020, exacerbated by the pandemic-induced salary cuts and new payment terms tied to operational benchmarks not initially agreed upon. SpiceJet dismisses the claims as "baseless and frivolous," stating that settlements are complete pending documentation from the pilots, Dhirendra Kumar and Daanish Anand report. The NCLT suggested the plea might be a pressure tactic and adjourned the case without issuing a notice to the airline.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, February 4, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. The Budget has introduced several agricultural schemes to boost crop productivity and improve credit access, particularly in 100 underperforming districts. However, its real impact may be limited, as many initiatives are underfunded and rely on existing programmes. For instance, despite growing climate risks, funding for the crucial crop insurance scheme has been slashed by ₹3,600 crore, while research funding has seen only a marginal increase. The budget's approach could yield mixed results for farm incomes. While the government has promised to procure pulses at minimum support price, the effectiveness of this measure remains uncertain, given only a modest rise in the PM-AASHA scheme's budget, which ensures farm-gate prices. At the same time, rising agricultural employment has put pressure on farm wages and productivity, adding to income stress. Sayantan Bera examines whether the Budget's proposals can truly uplift rural India in today's Primer. The Indian government is considering scrapping the requirement for National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approval in mergers of local listed companies, aiming to streamline the process and ease the judiciary's burden. The move, currently under discussion among multiple ministries, could significantly reshape India's mergers and acquisitions landscape by reducing bureaucratic delays, Anirudh Laskar reports. Introduced in 2016, fast-track mergers allowed certain companies to bypass lengthy NCLT approvals, which can take up to 10 months. The proposed change would extend this streamlined approach, enabling more mergers to proceed with just regulatory and shareholder consent, eliminating the need for court intervention. While the NCLT ensures fairness in mergers, experts argue that its involvement often causes unnecessary delays, exposing companies to market volatility and potential manipulation. Removing this step could accelerate deal-making and allow the NCLT to focus on critical cases like insolvency. India is moving to initiate formal trade discussions with the United States to secure protection against potential future tariffs. While the country avoided the initial round of tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China, Indian officials are keen on negotiating a formal exemption with the US Trade Representative, Dhirendra Kumar reports. These talks will emphasize India's role as a key trade partner, particularly in sectors like pharmaceuticals, IT services, and leather, which are integral to US supply chains. The decision to engage follows President Donald Trump's recent tariff moves, which have heightened global trade concerns. With a $35-billion trade surplus with the US, India managed to steer clear of the first wave of tariffs, aided by its diversified export portfolio, which includes engineering goods, jewellery, and textiles. These exports are not only critical to India's economy but also to US businesses, reinforcing the mutual benefits of their trade relationship. Small-town restaurants in India are undergoing a digital transformation as food delivery giants like Zomato and Swiggy expand their reach. To stay competitive, these eateries are adopting restaurant management software such as DotPe, UrbanPiper, and PetPooja to streamline billing, inventory, customer relations, and payroll. India's food services market—including online orders and dining out—is poised to nearly double to $152 billion by 2030. This surge is driven by the growing popularity of food and grocery delivery platforms, which are reshaping consumption patterns in tier-II and III cities to resemble those of larger metros. Sowmya Ramasubramanian explores how the rise of food delivery services is accelerating the modernization of small-town restaurants. Delhi's political landscape is heating up as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeks a return to state power after 27 years. Despite its dominance in Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has struggled in state polls, where Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) remains a formidable force. Without a chief ministerial face, the BJP is relying on Narendra Modi's appeal, framing the contest as a direct face-off between Modi and Kejriwal. For the AAP, this election is a fight for survival. Despite corruption scandals and key leaders behind bars, its voter base remains loyal, drawn to its free public services and infrastructure improvements in healthcare, education, and electricity. Meanwhile, Congress, once Delhi's dominant force, is a distant third, attempting to revive its relevance with promises mirroring AAP's welfare model. Ruhi Tewari explores the high-stakes political battle in poll-bound Delhi in today's Long Story.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, January 30, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. Last week, Wingify, a SaaS company, was acquired by Everstone Capital for $200 million, and Minimalist, a skincare brand, was bought by Hindustan Unilever Ltd for nearly ₹3,000 crore. These significant acquisitions highlight that Indian startups can indeed generate substantial wealth, not just through IPOs but also as targets for major acquisitions. Soumya Gupta writes. Notably, Wingify's founder retained a major stake of 84%, allowing him to benefit greatly from the sale, similar to Minimalist's founders, who owned over 61%. The common narrative in the Indian startup ecosystem often involves founders diluting their equity to raise capital from venture capitalists and private equity firms to fuel growth, leading to reduced ownership. However, these two cases illustrate that substantial ownership can lead to lucrative exits. Companies like Zoho and Zerodha showcase that bootstrapping, or growing without external capital, allows founders to maintain control and potentially lead to high profitability without the pressures from external investors. Indian companies are increasingly implementing strategies to retain junior employees for at least a year to ensure their investment in training isn't lost to high turnover rates. Instead of using the term 'bond', which has legal limitations, firms are incorporating 'commitment periods' into employment contracts. These stipulate that employees must reimburse the company for training and development costs if they leave within a year. Law firms Devina Sengupta spoke to, note that these contracts don't prevent employees from joining other companies but do require them to pay back training costs if they leave prematurely. This method is seen as a more legally tenable and employee-friendly approach than traditional bonds. Training costs, which can range from ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh depending on the industry, are now more frequently detailed in contracts to avoid disputes. Sectors like IT, pharmaceuticals, financial services, aviation, and telecom are observing shorter commitment periods, now typically one year instead of two, to adapt to the high churn rates among junior staff. Netweb Technologies, an AI cloud services firm based in Delhi, has been in the news lately after its stock price took a sharp 48% hit. The company quickly reached out to investors, explaining that this drop was just a temporary setback and emphasized their readiness to capitalize on the latest AI developments, especially with China's DeepSeek shaking up the market. Their investor note, though lacking specific growth details, seemed to do the trick, reports Shouvik Das. The stock price rebounded, hitting a 10% upper circuit early in the trading session following the note's release. The reaction from the industry has been a bit of a mixed bag. Some experts are optimistic, pointing out that while current global policy changes and market disruptions present challenges, they also open doors for Indian AI firms to innovate and grow. However, others are more cautious, noting that Indian companies are heavily dependent on technologies like Nvidia's processors. This makes them vulnerable if access to these critical technologies is restricted. 2024 turned out to be a strong year for soybean yields in India, with significant improvements in production due to favourable weather conditions. Despite this, India continues to face challenges with cooking oil shortages. The government has attempted to boost local oilseed production by increasing import duties by 22% to encourage more domestic farming and reduce dependency on imported oils, particularly palm oil, which has seen prices surge due to international market dynamics. India imports about 65% of its cooking oil needs, with palm oil making up over half of this due to its lower costs historically. However, international issues like Indonesia diverting palm oil to biodiesel production have driven up prices, impacting both consumers and industries reliant on these oils. Sayantan Bera examines India's cooking oil woes, in today's Long Story. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has dealt a major blow to Byju's by reinstating Glas Trust Co. Llc and Aditya Birla Finance Ltd as financial creditors, giving them significant influence over the company's insolvency proceedings. This move came after the tribunal found Byju's interim resolution professional, Pankaj Srivastava, unfit for his role and directed the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) to initiate disciplinary action against him. The NCLT also dismissed the newly formed Committee of Creditors (CoC) and reinstated the previous one from August 21, 2024, which will now appoint a new resolution professional. This decision stemmed from allegations of fraudulent creditor classification by Byju's lenders, US-based Glas Trust Company and Aditya Birla Finance Ltd. They argued that they were wrongly classified, impacting their rights and the integrity of the insolvency process.

Rundown -    Intro - 00:35   Judge Bob Orr in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 14:45   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:25:44   "It Hurts Me Too" by Dave Gunders - 01:41:16   Outro - 01:47:11   Prominent North Carolina Republican mainstay and NC Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr returns to show (Ep. 88) with his home state in the headlines. NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is a hot MAGA mess, and Hurricane Helene has just wreaked havoc.   Bob Orr ran for Governor in North Carolina as a Republican in 2008. The GOP was different then. After his celebrated exit in 2016 at the Cleveland GOP national convention, Orr has led the Never Trump movement. https://www.youtube.com/live/gu_xkKuGguM   Now, Bob Orr is an asset for the Harris-Walz campaign in the key state of North Carolina. Find out how that happened. He's a principled North Carolina conservative who loves the law and calls out racism and misogyny. https://www.citizen-times.com/videos/news/local/elections/2024/09/18/longtime-republican-speaks-at-walz-rally-denounces-gop/75280599007/   Bob knows Appalachia but is not impressed by JD Vance. He is impressed by Governor Tim Walz, with whom he interacted. The guest and host mainly admire Kamala Harris's talented attorney skills. We wonder about the bigotry of people who call her dumb.   We remember Al Campanis in 1987: “They may not have some of the necessities.” And Dan Caplis from Denver Unified Reich Trump Radio on 9.24.24: “There is some kind of impairment with her (Kamala Harris) and I can't diagnose it from the outside. There's something that renders her unable to do the things necessary to be president.”   MAGA propaganda is horrific, especially when it comes from the United States Supreme Court. We discuss how the Rule of Law is now on the line and some special statutes in NC that may allow its GOP super-majority to make mischief.   Israel's pounding of Hezbollah in Beirut was discussed as Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his speech at the United Nations in New York. The world's nations are not too united, and Army vet Bob Orr discussed his military service. Does Bibi have clean hands?   Mitt Romney now fears retribution and may leave America if Trump is elected. Bob Orr asked about fears of retribution. Trump has told all Jews, Catholics, and seniors that their heads should be examined if we vote against him. Lord, help us.   Troubadour Dave Gunders brings his cover of Elmore James' blues song “It Hurts Me Too.” Hurt people hurt other people, and we discuss why Netanyahu and Donald Trump do the things they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvqprTLcApI

Rundown -   Intro - 00:35   Beth McCann in the Inner Sanctum of Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 08:07   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:25:32   "Some Days" by Dave Gunders - 01:28:04   Outro - 01:33:35   Denver District Attorney Beth McCann makes a historic trip into the Inner Sanctum of Craig's Lawyers' Lounge. She's about to conclude two terms and will be stepping off the public stage, but not without some public expressions, as you will hear.   Beth McCann is a trailblazing figure in Denver's legal landscape. She was sworn in as the city's first female District Attorney on January 10, 2017. Her journey to this historic position reflects groundbreaking achievements and a commitment to public service.   McCann spent her childhood moving frequently due to her father's career as an Army colonel, including stints in Japan and Taiwan. Inspired by feminist role models, she pursued higher education to establish a career. McCann graduated magna cum laude from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio.   Former President Trump is now stirring up hate against lawful Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and he's telling lies about Aurora, Colorado. McCann assures us that Denver law enforcement will be ready if Trump comes to our neighboring city of Aurora.   Like California AG-Elect Kamala Harris, who was also elected on the first Tuesday of November 2016, Denver DA-Elect Beth McCann felt queasy about our country despite achieving her lifetime pinnacle job. Eight years later, Beth McCann voluntarily surrendered power to her successor, John Walsh (Ep 193), whom she endorsed.    McCann's legal journey began at Georgetown University Law School in 1971, where she was one of only a handful of women in her class. After graduating in 1974, she moved to Denver, becoming only the second female law clerk for Colorado's U.S. District Court Judge Sherman G. Finesilver.   McCann served as a deputy and then Chief Deputy District Attorney in Denver from 1975 to 1982, prosecuting hundreds of cases. In the early 1990s, McCann became Denver's first female Manager of Safety under Mayor Wellington Webb.   For eight years, McCann served as Deputy Attorney General for Civil Litigation and Employment Law for the Colorado Attorney General's Office. McCann was also a four-term elected state representative for HD 8 in Denver, focusing on criminal justice matters and health care reform.   McCann has long been a strong advocate for women in the legal profession. She is a founding member and former president of the Colorado Women's Bar Association, and she explains why most of her new hires are female prosecutors.   Kamala Harris's virtues as a fellow big-city prosecutor are extolled. Beth and Kamala have inevitably faced specific difficult everyday top prosecutor experiences. We agree that Tim Walz is a fine man and educator. We talk with Denver DA McCann about character and leadership.   McCann explains her recent decision no charges will be filed in connection with a deadly shooting in July at an apartment near the University of Denver. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/du-apartment-intruder-shot-killed/73-a62f1a45-d7ce-49ed-a055-907d65887ed5   According to Denver Police, a resident returned to their apartment inside One Observatory Park around 1 a.m. on  July 21 and was startled by an intruder. The apartment building is on East Evans Avenue, just east of South University Boulevard.   We discuss how Kamala Harris said she'd shoot any intruder into her family home. Beth McCann explains the burden of proof on prosecutors and how she's made thousands of such decisions. https://people.com/kamala-harris-tells-oprah-intruder-getting-shot-if-try-to-break-in-8716045   Show Troubadour Dave Gunders plays hurt, coming off the recovery table from knee replacement surgery and offering his toe-tapping song "Some Days." Some days this week started off bad for NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who had nasty laundry exposed. It could not happen in a better swing state.   The host starts the show by decrying Trump's blaming of the Jews in case he does not get elected. Is he talking to Craig? It appears so. What's he going to do about it? Have friends extract retribution? WTF. Kamala continues to be calm and bright. This episode is hopeful.

Next, They walk through the framing of Biden's immigration pivot as a Trump win, Trump's recent comments on whether he'll reach out to Nikki Haley, Fox and Friends' insightful commentary on the GOP's anti-feminist base, and Trump's new nickname for NC Lt.

“NCLT and NCLAT have got down to a rot now.” Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud made this harsh observation last week while issuing a contempt notice to two members of the appellate tribunal. The two NCLAT members allegedly ignored a status quo order passed by the apex court and issued an order in a dispute relating to Finolex Cables. So why is the Supreme Court worried about these two quasi-judicial bodies?  Let us now move on to another big news. The cricket World Cup. Airlines operating charter flights to and fro Ahmedabad -- carrying cricketers and fans - are in a bind. And fuming too. The Adani group-owned Ahmedabad airport has sharply raised user charges for these special flights. But can airport operators raise charges as demand goes up?  It's not just fans. This world cup is keeping stocks of companies in hospitality, food and beverages, and travel sectors in good spirits too. But it's not the case for the larger market. An unease has gripped it. Higher-for-longer interest rates, a likely slowdown in global economy, the Israel-Hamas war and fears of a further escalation, has further dented the sentiment. How much of an impact will these events have on the Indian market, and what should be your investment strategy?  Markets will also keep a tab on the upcoming state polls. Its results may set the tone for general elections due next year. But some believe the tone has already been set. Caste survey conducted in Bihar has everyone talking. It's also being called the Mandal 2.0. But what was the original Mandal commission? Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers.

Weeding out bots from X has been Elon Musk's top priorities. He had threatened to pull out of the $44 billion Twitter deal last year -- claiming bots make up a third of its users. And now, over a year after the takeover, Musk, it seems, is making his move. New users in New Zealand and the Philippines are being told to pay over $1 a year to become active on the platform. So can this move help X clean the bot mess?  And it is not just the social media platform X. Musk is also deeply invested in his space project, and keenly follows every big development. He praised India's Chandrayaan-3 mission on its success in August. India, on its part, is now planning a much bigger and ambitious mission. It wants to take an Indian to the earth's only natural satellite by 2040. So what would it take an Indian to land on the moon?  In yet another good news, the central government hiked dearness allowance by 4% on October 18, just when the festive season is kicking in. The move, analysts believe, will lead to higher disposable income in the hands of the consumers. This, along with easing retail inflation, is auguring well for demand recovery. Listen in to know what may and may not work for the FMCG sector. And what should investors' strategy be?  But have you ever wondered where do companies go when there is some dispute? Where do issues concerning companies are adjudicated? The answer is NCLT and NCLAT. The two tribunals were in the news recently after the Supreme Court pulled them for allegedly defying its directions in a dispute relating to Finolex Cables. Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more about these two bodies.

It's Casual Friday! And Sam's BACK from vacation! He and Emma talk to David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through this week's headlines, including the impact of the Fed's continuing impact on workers, US funding for Ukraine, three straight days of global heat records, Lula's impact on Amazon deforestation, and labor action, before Sam parses through his recent trip to Monticello. David Dayen then joins as he starts by peppering Sam with questions about his work with RFK as well as Kennedy's political evolution over the last two decades, before the conversation shifts to Dayen's recent article on the economic theory of government spending “crowding out” private business. David parses through what this economic theory entails, how it has become baked into any US policy, with any public spending requiring equivalent support for private businesses, and why the incredible success of the IRA and CHIPS act should absolutely be challenging this and the role direct public investment can play in the economy. Continuing, David, Sam, and Emma tackle the material impact a change in our economic philosophy could have, and what a return to big government could mean. After a quick discussion on the continuing inflation misinformation, they wrap up the interview by assessing the Biden administration's pivot to the Higher Education Act for Student loan forgiveness. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Fox and Friends try to shift recent job growth to be demonstrative of… the failure of Biden's government, Ron DeSantis gets hit with “Why don't people like you?” by a Fox host, and Ben Shapiro, notorious theocrat, tries to make out queer identity to be a “belief system” thus not a protected identity. NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson does apologia for the Moms for Liberty, and Greg Gutfeld talks violent crime, like detergent theft, plus, your calls and IMs!

First up today, we talked with Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders about her Medicare reforms in her state, setting an example for the rest of the country, and we talked about a few other things. Then, a chyron on Fox about TikTok users being offended by the National anthem set Dan off. Next, we talked with NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson talking about his run for Governor in his state. Then Dan had a theory about who was releasing these Tucker Carlson "hit" videos, and it didn't go along with the narrative. He gave his theory in epic fashion. Finally we talked with Kayleigh McEnany about her new book Serenity In The Storm, and about some culture war issues. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

EPISODE 184: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Fani Willis has a batch of texts from the Georgia Voting Machine Access scandal so powerful she could indict at least two Trump minions now - probably Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell right now - and maybe Trump himself because he knew about the plan as Giuliani pitched it a month earlier in the Oval Office as Trump listened. The good news/bad news is that nothing is touching Trump's popularity among Republican primary voters: 46% back him outright; 66% have him as their first or second choice. How could that be good news? DeSantis is NOT a successor. There is no successor. This could all die with him. The only cloud on the horizon? Dianne Feinstein. Not only can't Dick Durbin subpoena Clarence Thomas or John Roberts but when he was to humiliate himself by inviting Roberts to a hearing, Roberts doesn't even reply to his letter - he has a flunky do it for him. All this because Feinstein isn't there and rumored to be REALLY not there. The solution is simple: write up her resignation, forge her signature, and if she's lucid, she can protest and stop it. This isn't a game. For much of the Senate day Democrats do not have a majority because they're treating her like a beloved teacher fading out from a prep school somewhere. This. Is. Metaphorical.

EPISODE 185: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Rupert Murdoch PERSONALLY fired Tucker Carlson over ex-Carlson producer Abby Grossberg's lawsuit for harassment, abuse, sexism, and misogyny. Murdoch also felt crossed by Carlson in many of the texts and emails produced by discovery in the Dominion lawsuit, but the firing was NOT a part of the settlement. There were also questions about impending lawsuits against Fox and Carlson by Smartmatic and Ray Epps. But this was about how women were called the c-word in Carlson's office and how producers held a vote on which candidate for Governor of Michigan was more "f-able" and more might have come out if the Dominion case had gone to trial. There is a line, even at Fox (ask Bill O'Reilly or Roger Ailes). And Carlson found it and crossed it. And take it from somebody who was himself fired personally by Murdoch. Tucker was FIRED PERSONALLY BY MURDOCH. Don Lemon was also fired for misogyny, though it appears CNN actually gave him some time in hopes that his crass comments about Nikki Haley and when women were or weren't in their prime might fade in the background they didn't.

This episode is presented by Old Grouch's Military Surplus -- Andrew Dunn from Longleaf Politics (and former comms guy for former NC Lt. Gov. Dan Forest) discusses NC Treasurer Dale Folwell's "narrow path to victory" now that he officially announced his run for North Carolina Governor in 2024. His GOP primary opponent is expected to be the current Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson.  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has a book coming out in a few weeks. Two of his most adversarial newsrooms in Raleigh got advance copies, and highlighted a passage: "In those grades, we don't need to be teaching social studies," he writes. "We don't need to be teaching science. We surely don't need to be talking about equity and justice." Outrage ensued. The NC Democratic Party highlighted an editorial from the McClatchy newspaper chain that mocked Robinson's idea as "wacky." Robinson's chief of staff, Brian LiVecchi, responded on Twitter: "...because if kids can't read, teaching them chemistry and economics might be a tad ambitious. NC public schools are failing to meet even the basic and fundamental requirement of teaching our kids to read. Get that right first." "For kids who aren't reading at grade level, promoting them to higher grades with more rigorous and complex subject matter that requires independent reading for success is not helping them. Those kids must be able to read before we throw biology at them, or we set them up to fail." "Essentially, passing kids who can't read up through the system does them a disservice, and until they can master reading, there's not much value to them in moving to harder things - there has to be a way to keep helping the kids who need it, instead of making it harder for them." After an education forum in Durham, Robinson told a TV outlet: "We're not talking about not teaching science to elementary school children," he said. "What we're talking about is putting reading, writing and arithmetic - making them paramount in elementary school," he said. In grades one through five, the concentration should always be on those essential elements." Robinson is expected to run for Governor of North Carolina in 2024.    Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
