Sarah Rose Siskind returns to Walk-Ins Welcome for a fascinating chat about AI, exploring its strengths, quirks, and why it sparks insecurity in so many. She and Bridget unpack humanity's love-hate dance with robots, wrestling with the paradox at its core: Will robots become too human? Why aren't they human enough? They dive into AI's struggle to nail comedy (despite being a comedian's secret weapon), its transformative role for women in crisis—like in Afghanistan—and the unexpected power of Bitcoin for women across the Middle East. Sarah also shares her vision for restoring trust in science through her Null Bell Prize for unsung scientific flops, strategies for rebuilding faith when it's lost, and how she proposed to husband, Nick Gillespie, at Burning Man. Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

Welcome to a Special Dispatch of The Trip Report Podcast, a production of Beckley Waves. Today, I'm joined by Nick Gillespie, Editor-at-Large of Reason magazine, to discuss the results of the US election and specifically what it might mean for psychedelic policy, research, and drug development.  As a veteran observer of the intersection between politics, regulation, and civil liberties, Nick offers a unique lens through which to examine the evolving dynamics of psychedelics, the regulatory state, and how the incoming Trump administration might approach the matter.Our conversation focuses on the curious coalition between former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President-Elect Donald Trump, who has said he will let Kennedy “go wild on health” through a yet-to-be-announced position in his administration. This partnership raises critical questions about the potential for sweeping changes to policy in the United States—particularly as it relates to psychedelics, alternative therapies, and broader health reforms.We explore the paradoxical nature of this political moment, in which historical stigmas are shifting, and new coalitions are forming. With drug policy historically defined by prohibition, could we now be on the verge of a psychedelic renaissance fueled by executive power and bipartisan pragmatism? We unpack the complexities of de-scheduling psychedelics, the implications of potential federal support for therapeutic use, and how the cultural, medical, and regulatory terrain could evolve.In typical fashion, Nick brings clarity and insight to a conversation that touches on the FDA's recent rejection of MDMA-assisted therapy, the mixed outcomes of state-level psychedelic ballot initiatives, and the broader cultural shifts that frame America's approach to mental health, addiction, and drug legalization.This is a moment where history, politics, and the psychedelic renaissance converge—an era brimming with opportunity and risk, with the potential for substantive change at hand.Without further ado, I bring you my conversation with Nick Gillespie.Listen to the episode on Substack, Spotify, Google or Apple.Credits:* Hosted by Zach Haigney * Produced by Zach Haigney, Erin Greenhouse, and Katelin Jabbari* Find us at thetripreport.com* Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTubeTheme music by MANCHO Sounds, Mixed and Mastered by Rollin Weary This is a public episode.

Welcome to The Trip Report Podcast, a production of Beckley Waves, a Psychedelic Venture Studio.Last week on the podcast, I spoke with Dr. Carlene MacMillan, psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer of Osmind, about the FDA's rejection of MDMA Assisted Therapy. That conversation focused on some of the problems with the application, including potentially missing data, inaccurate or unreported adverse events, and the general uncertainty that both the Advisory Committee and FDA itself had with the work Lykos submitted.Today's conversation addresses the matter from another perspective, namely the inadequacy of the current regulatory regime for evaluating treatments that challenge the current epistemological paradigm and come from “outsider” organizations.To make sense of this, I asked Nick Gillespie, Editor at Large of Reason Magazine, to come on the podcast to discuss the matter. To say that Nick is critical of the FDA would be an understatement.His position is that the latent mission of the FDA and other regulatory agencies is to maintain the existing power structures and commercial interests of the organizations they regulate rather than to protect public health, ensure public trust, or facilitate the availability of new treatments.His views challenge mainstream narratives of both the right and the left, which makes him the perfect guest as we delve into the complexities of drug regulation, the FDA's role in approving psychedelic therapies, and the broader implications for personal autonomy in today's world.In this episode, we explore:* The challenges of navigating the FDA's regulatory process for novel therapies like MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.* The increasingly confusing political and ideological landscape * Outdated and ossified regulatory institutions* The prospect of individual states taking over regulatory responsibilities from the federal government* The cultural and political dynamics that shape public opinion on psychedelics and other controlled substances.* The evolving landscape of personal freedom in the context of healthcare and drug use.* And much more.And now, I bring you my conversation with Nick Gillespie.Listen to the episode on Substack, Spotify, Google or Apple.Credits:* Hosted by Zach Haigney * Produced by Zach Haigney, Erin Greenhouse, and Katelin Jabbari* Find us at thetripreport.com* Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTubeTheme music by MANCHO Sounds, Mixed and Mastered by Rollin Weary This is a public episode.

Freddie Sayers, Mary Harrington, Nick Gillespie and Sohrab Ahmari come together at the Duggal Greenhouse in New York City to debate whether Liberalism can be saved from the jaws of its mutant totalitarian progeny. Is it too late? Is Post-Liberalism the answer? Does Liberalism in fact need some illiberalism to save itself? Freddie Sayers is the editor-in-chief of Unherd, Mary Harrington is the author of 'Feminism Against Progress' and Unherd columnist, Sohrab Ahmari is an author and the founder of Compact Magazine and Nick Gillespie is editor-at-large of Reason Magazine.

The United States is home to more immigrants than any other country in the world. It is a truism that everyone who lives here at some point came from somewhere else. At the same time, debates about who and how many people to let in have roiled the nation since our very founding. And in the past few years, things have heated up to a new level. That's no surprise, considering that unlawful attempts to cross the southern border hit a record high of about 2.5 million last year. In the past four years, nearly 5 million attempts to cross the border illegally occurred in Texas alone. We've all seen the videos of mothers with babies shimmying under barbed wire, of migrant caravans marching toward Texas, of young men charging Border Patrol agents. It's why immigration is the top issue for voters in the 2024 election. Indeed, the influx has made even progressive cities, which previously declared themselves immigration sanctuaries, sound the alarm. Last May, former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot said “we've reached a breaking point,” while declaring a state of emergency in her city. In September, New York mayor Eric Adams said the influx of migrants “will destroy New York City.” All of this is the subject of our first live debate of 2024, which took place in Dallas, and that we wanted to share with you on Honestly today. The proposition: Should the United States shut its borders? Arguing in the affirmative are Ann Coulter and Sohrab Ahmari. On the opposing side, arguing that no, the United States should not shut its borders, are Nick Gillespie and Cenk Uygur. They also cover questions like: Is mass immigration is a net gain or a net loss for America? How do we balance our humanitarian impulse with our practical and economic needs? Do migrants suppress wages of the already strained working class? Do they stretch community resources impossibly thin? Does a porous border impact our national security? And what does a sensible border policy really look like? We hope you listen, share, and discuss.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/12/2023): 3:05pm- In a post to the social media outlet X, Reason editor and podcaster Nick Gillespie discussed the libertarian response to the October 7th Hamas terror attacks against Israel. Gillespie explains, “I'm increasingly frustrated by whataboutist libertarian takes on indefensible Hamas terrorism that seemingly deny Israel's unquestionable right to respond to war crimes committed within its own borders. If your first—or second, or third—response to civilian deaths is to point out that not all the children were decapitated, you're doing it wrong. These takes tend to conflate questions of legitimate national self-defense on the part of a country and possible US intervention that is often morally, strategically, and pragmatically suspect. A similar conflation was evident when Russia invaded Ukraine, with too many libertarians justifying Putin's war-of-choice as the inevitable result of US foreign policy, impugning Ukrainians defending themselves, or waving away solidarity with and empathy for the invaded as ‘CIA talking points.' Same with Taiwan and Hong Kong. But the righteousness of self-defense and American military involvement are totally separate matters. More than most nations, Israel is capable of defending itself (and will do so with greater restraint than most countries would in similar circumstances). The US should not become involved militarily even as we should offer humanitarian aid and assistance, including to Gazans suffering under Hamas rule. We shouldn't be the world's policeman (the past 20 years of our foreign policy testify to that) but we also can play a role in minimizing conflict and suffering.” You can listen to Gillespie's podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EBfQXtaCpKg 3:40pm- Kara Scannell of CNN reports that, “[f]ederal prosecutors on Thursday announced an additional charge against New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, alleging they conspired to have the senator act as a foreign agent of Egypt. The superseding indictment filed against Menendez, who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the time of the alleged actions, adds a new dimension to the case by alleging a US senator was working on behalf of another country.” In September, Menendez was charged with accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes with federal prosecutors finding $500,000 in cash, as well as gold bars, in Menendez's home—some of which contained fingerprints or DNA of Fred Daibes, a real estate developer accused of bribing Menendez and his wife Nadine.

Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest piece at Fox News, “Yellen and Rest of Bidenomics Team Ignore Middle-Class Misery Their Policies Create.” PLUS, Nobel Prize winning-economist, and New York Time editorial columnist, Paul Krugman manipulates data to make it appear as though “the war on inflation is over.” You can read the full article here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/yellen-rest-bidenomics-team-ignore-middle-class-misery-their-policies-create 4:35pm- Will the Philadelphia Phillies close out their series against the Atlanta Braves tonight? The Phillies currently lead the series 2 -1 in the best of five series. 4:50pm- Jack Crowe of National Review writes: “The head of a prominent Iranian-backed militia in Iraq threatened to attack U.S. military bases should America intervene in the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, just hours after the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean on Tuesday to deter Israel's hostile neighbors from widening the conflict.” You can read Crowe's article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/iranian-backed-militia-threatens-to-strike-u-s-targets-as-american-carrier-arrives-in-mediterranean/ 5:05pm- Rich is joined by 1210 WPHT producers Anthony and Dan who are at Citizen Bank Park ahead of tonight's game 4 playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves. The series is currently 2-1.

Steve Scalise (R-LA) to be the next Speaker of the House—113 to 99. However, it is worth noting that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy won his party's support last November with 188 votes before ultimately requiring 15-votes to officially win the speakership. During an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) said despite the vote she will not vote for Scalise, and that there were at least eight other House Republicans that feel similarly. 5:15pm- On Thursday night, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) appeared as a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. During the conversation, Fetterman exclaimed that “America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington D.C.” 5:30pm- Trans-activist Dylan Mulvaney won the 2023 Virgin Atlantic Attitude Award for “Woman of the Year.” 5:40pm- George Bochetto—former candidate for U.S. Senate, former Pennsylvania State Boxing Commissioner, and Attorney at Bochetto & Lentz, P.C.—joins The Rich Zeoli Show LIVE from the White House where he was invited to take part in an Italian American heritage reception. 6:05pm- Bill Binion of Reason writes about the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard which was labeled an anti-gay hate crime. Binion explains, “Shepard's murder was, without a doubt, an act of hate and violence. But the latter part of Biden's statement—that his murder was spurred by homophobic animus—is the most important. For years, it has been repeated in the some of the largest media outlets. It has driven federal policy. It is the part that ‘changed America,' despite all evidence pointing to the fact that it isn't true.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2023/10/12/matthew-shepards-murder-was-almost-certainly-not-an-anti-gay-hate-crime/ 6:30pm- Rich is joined by 1210 WPHT producers Anthony and Dan who are at Citizen Bank Park ahead of tonight's game 4 playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves.
