This is your All Local update for Monday, March 9, 2026.

Whether Americans realize it or not, federal oversight and watchdog organizations can be enormously impactful in how the government spends money, makes laws and builds for the future. So why don't more Americans know about the connections between lawmakers and oversight bodies? Fellow Tim Persons, Principal at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Dan Lips of the Foundation for American Innovation joined James-Christian Blockwood to discuss the importance of oversight and how we should think about the role of Congress in everything from spending to building, for the future and beyond. Management Matters is a presentation of the National Academy of Public Administration produced by Lizzie Alwan and Matt Hampton and edited by Matt Hampton. Support the Podcast Today at: donate@napawash.org or 202-347-3190Episode music: Hope by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comFollow us on YouTube for clips and more: @NAPAWASH_YT

In this episode of the Global Regulatory Update podcast, the IIF's Philippe Brahin, Director of Insurance and NBFI Regulation and Policy, speaks with Virginia Insurance Commissioner and newly elected President of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), Scott A. White, about the supervisory, macroprudential, and structural forces shaping U.S. insurance oversight in 2026. Commissioner White outlines the NAIC's strategic priorities for the year ahead, including reinforcing resilience in the property and casualty market under growing climate related stress, managing increasingly complex investment risk profiles in the life sector, and navigating federal-state dynamics as Washington reconsiders its role in insurance policy. He connects these priorities to rising pressure around natural catastrophe losses, digital transformation, operational risks, and the continued evolution of insurer balance sheets. The discussion then turns to cross‑border coordination and international standard‑setting. Commissioner White walks through the NAIC's work with the IAIS and the FSB as global bodies refine expectations around recovery and resolution planning, including the implications of the FSB's expanded list of insurers subject to resolution planning standards. He also offers a detailed overview of progress on the Aggregation Method, recognized as comparable to the ICS in 2024, and outlines how U.S. regulators are addressing remaining issues such as interest‑rate sensitivity and supervisory intervention. The conversation also covers the NAIC's broader capital‑framework modernization, including the RBC Guiding Principles adopted in 2025 and the ongoing gap analysis aimed at updating a framework that has not undergone major structural revision since the 1990s. Finally, Commissioner White examines two areas drawing heightened global attention: alternative asset growth and asset‑intensive reinsurance, and the widening natural catastrophe protection gap. He discusses the supervisory responses underway, from enhanced review of asset‑backed securities and offshore reinsurance treaties to expanded market‑level data collection and mitigation‑focused consumer education. The episode concludes with a deep dive into the NAIC's emerging AI oversight architecture, including the 10‑state pilot of the new AI Systems Evaluation Tool, and the regulatory tensions arising from federal proposals that would centralize or preempt AI governance across industries.

Patriotic Alliance MP Juliet Basson explains what really happened during the controversial parliamentary oversight visit to Normandien Farms in Newcastle. She describes a chaotic and hostile scene, distancing herself from aggressive actions taken by others on the committee.

House Judiciary Committee oversight hearings are intended to hold federal agencies accountable. But the latest session involving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has become a flashpoint in the debate over immigration enforcement. While Noem received strong support from Republicans on the committee, Democratic lawmakers pressed her on several controversial issues, including the shooting deaths of two Americans during a federal operation and allegations that the Department of Homeland Security obstructed oversight investigations.

This explosive episode exposes systemic failures at the U.S. border under the Biden administration: Unaccompanied minors and missing children: 85,000 unaccounted for Child trafficking and abuse linked to sponsors paid by the government DNA testing contracts discontinued, erasing evidence of kidnappers 65,000 emergency calls from children went unanswered The ongoing effort to reunite children with families and hold perpetrators accountable We dig into shocking testimony from recent hearings and uncover how policy decisions contributed to a humanitarian crisis at the border.

The congressional committee overseeing aspects of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has too often projected disorganization rather than discipline. Hearings have at times devolved into partisan sparring, with members appearing more focused on cable-news soundbites than methodical fact-finding. Lawmakers have publicly contradicted one another about timelines, subpoena strategies, and the scope of requested records, creating confusion about what the committee is actually pursuing. Promised document dumps have been delayed or incomplete, fueling public skepticism about competence and seriousness. Grandstanding exchanges with witnesses have sometimes overshadowed substantive lines of inquiry, leaving key evidentiary gaps unexplored in open session. When members use hearings to relitigate broader political grievances instead of drilling down into financial trails, prosecutorial decisions, or institutional failures, it weakens the perception of rigor. The result, to many observers, is an oversight effort that appears reactive and fragmented rather than strategic and coordinated.That perception is amplified when internal leaks, public infighting, and inconsistent messaging dominate headlines more than concrete findings. Announcements of “bombshell” revelations have occasionally yielded little new information, undermining credibility. Meanwhile, disputes over jurisdiction, document redactions, and executive-branch compliance have played out in public without a clear, unified enforcement plan. For a case that implicates powerful institutions and demands precision, the optics of confusion and theatrics can make the process look unserious. Oversight works best when it is disciplined, bipartisan where possible, and relentlessly evidence-driven. When it instead resembles political theater it risks eroding public trust in Congress's ability to deliver accountability in one of the most scrutinized scandals in recent memory.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Serious investigation or ‘clown show'?

On this week's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast Hotels Edition, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk dive into the latest forces shaping travel and hospitality in 2026. They begin with a closer look at why ignoring the Canadian travel market is starting to carry real economic consequences for brands and destinations. From there, they explore the state of AI in travel, including why many travel brands are building “AI agents” for consumer behaviors that don't yet exist and how the incoming Claude AI model is already influencing travel tech development. The conversation then turns to industry infrastructure as Sabre announces a rebrand at ITB Berlin and Hyatt reports limited direct impact from recent violence in Mexico while acknowledging broader challenges in global markets. As always, they close with the Unhinged Story of the Week, featuring a traveler whose hotel room was taken to an unforgettable, and extremely gross, extreme. It's a fast-paced episode that spans demand strategy, cutting-edge technology, and the strange side of travel life.

What if the biggest secret in UFO history isn't alien… it's angelic? Or demonic. Or somewhere in that awkward in-between where rockets and ritual candles share shelf space.This week, we plunge headfirst into one of the strangest rabbit holes in modern conspiracy lore: the alleged “Collins Elite” — a rumored faction inside the U.S. government that supposedly concluded UFOs aren't extraterrestrials at all, but deceptive spiritual entities. We unpack where the story comes from, what believers claim insiders discovered, and why some say disclosure could be less about little green men and more about theological shockwaves.But that's just the warm-up.Did Allied intelligence really brush shoulders with a British occultist during WWII? Was Aleister Crowley pitching magical countermeasures against Nazi symbolism? And how does rocket pioneer Jack Parsons' sex-magic rituals tie into the birth of the modern UFO era?We explore the full fringe narrative — demons disguised as aliens, ritual “doorways,” Cold War psychic programs, and secret spiritual warfare in the Pentagon — while also laying out the documented history, the skepticism, and the very human tendency to mythologize the unknown.Is this a hidden chapter of national security history… or a masterclass in how conspiracies evolve when secrecy meets symbolism?Strap in.

Summary: In this conversation, Dr. Rick Parent discusses the complexities surrounding police use of force, the role of civilian oversight, and the importance of clear communication in maintaining public trust. He emphasizes the need for context and perspective in understanding police actions, the dangers faced by officers, and the significance of de-escalation techniques. The discussion also highlights the impact of mental health on policing and the necessity for a national approach to civilian oversight to improve accountability and public safety.Takeaways:• The most dangerous moment for a police officer is often routine calls.• Civilian oversight can either strengthen or undermine public trust.• There are several ways in which civilian oversight agencies need to improve their practices to help enhance public confidence.• Canadian police are reluctant users of deadly force compared to the U.S.• Clear communication is essential for public understanding of police actions.• Context is crucial in evaluating police use of force incidents.• The media often vilifies police without understanding the full story.• Timely responses from oversight agencies are critical for public trust.• Policing is an unpredictable and dangerous occupation.• De-escalation techniques are vital but should not compromise officer safety.• Mental health issues significantly impact police interactions with the public.

Is there really a trillion dollars a year in federal fraud? Why is Minnesota at the center of a $259 million Medicaid freeze? And could cracking down on fraud actually balance the federal budget? Today on AmperWave Daily — the administration says it's going after massive Medicaid fraud. Critics call it political retribution. The numbers being tossed around? Half a trillion… even a trillion dollars a year. Let's break it down.

Half a trillion dollars of taxpayer money allegedly gone in Minnesota alone. Illegal immigrant sex offenders flown into the U.S. with minimal oversight. And a shadowy web of surveillance inside federal agencies — are our institutions out of control? Today on AmperWave Daily, we break down the latest explosive claims on fraud, political spying, and border security.

Were federal agencies weaponized against political opponents? Did intelligence officials spy on campaign operatives without evidence of crimes? And are new administration officials now uncovering internal surveillance inside their own departments? Today on AmperWave Daily — explosive allegations about the FBI, Homeland Security, and what some are calling a domestic surveillance scandal. Let's unpack it.

Oversight

Marc Cox speaks with Congressman Bob Onder from Missouri's 3rd District about the Chloe Cole Act and the Riley Gaines Act, spotlighting protections for minors and female athletes against harmful gender-transition policies. The discussion shifts to Obamacare subsidies, examining recent government shutdowns, zero-premium verification issues, and the need for healthcare choice and competition. Onder also addresses the Biden DOJ's politicization of investigations, including the Suzy Wiles phone records case, highlighting the broader implications for Trump associates and political accountability.

After getting crushed online for his “next numbers to be retired” Cinco, Shaun opens this segment by admitting he missed some obvious names, most notably Carlos Beltrán, a future Hall of Famer likely to go in as a Met. That sparks a quick cleanup of the list, including the realization that Aaron Judge's No. 99 will almost certainly be retired long before some of the earlier picks. From there, the show pivots to fresh intel out of the NFL Combine, where reports suggest the Jets are open to listening on additional trades beyond Jermaine Johnson. The guys try to figure out who that could realistically be, why accumulating assets might be the strategy, and whether the roster even has enough desirable talent to move. Giants free agency chatter also surfaces as top agents meet with teams in Indianapolis.

Marc Cox interviews Mark Pratt, a candidate for the Fort Zumwalt School Board, on the importance of spring elections and engaging low-turnout communities. Pratt discusses his platform prioritizing parental input, transparency, and fiscal responsibility while addressing curriculum oversight, administrative salaries, and local school policies.

Greg interviews old friend of the podcast Rikker Dockum, Thai language expert extraordinaire about the Thai Royal Society, an organization dedicated to overseeing, promoting and regulating the Thai language. Rikker begins by explaining that he actually wrote his undergraduate thesis on the Society more than 20 years ago, so he's a longstanding follower of their work. He notes that it originally modeled itself after the French Academy, which, among other things, develops French words for English equivalents.  For instance, Greg brings up the issue of the word 'computer,' which is typically spoken in Thai as 'com-pu-TER,' even though the Institute has specified a true Thai word for the computer. Rikker goes through the etymology of the word, but Greg asks whether the work of the Institute is even necessary if people don't adopt the words they come up with. Rikker defends the use of public funds for work codifying 'official' Thai, noting that were it left to the private marketplace, the work would never get done.  The old friends continue their conversation about the Institute, emphasizing the need for such an organization for a language like Thai, which is vital to the history and culture of Thailand, but plays little role outside the country. Very few languages in the world are so popularly dominant that their continued preservation is assured, and unfortunately, Thai language is not one of them.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the seismic shift in the application security landscape triggered by the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Anthropic's "Claude Code". They highlight the massive economic repercussions of these AI advancements, noting that billions in market value were wiped from traditional cybersecurity stocks as investors begin to believe frontier models might eventually write perfectly secure code. The hosts critique the industry's historical reliance on "checkbox" compliance tools like SAST, DAST, and SCA, arguing that these "archaic" methods are being replaced by AI-native strategies capable of reasoning through complex logic flaws. While they acknowledge that AI can suffer from "reasoning drift" and still requires deterministic validation to avoid false positives, they emphasize that security professionals must adapt by building custom "skills" and focusing on governance and observability. The discussion concludes that as developers move to "AI speed," the traditional role of the AppSec professional is evolving into a "Jarvis-like" orchestrator who manages automated workflows and infuses institutional knowledge into AI agents to maintain oversight without slowing down production.

Humans in the loop are, in theory, supposed to be as much a part of all conversations surrounding the use of generative artificial intelligence tools as a way to safeguard against major mistakes. But as GovCon attorney David Timm has found out, errors showing misuse of the technology are starting to come up in bid protests and other legal rulings that show what can go wrong when relying on the tech too much. Timm, a partner at the law firm Burr & Forman, joins our Ross Wilkers for this episode to share his findings from those decisions and how they could help set some guardrails for the use of GenAI in GovCon law. Even with the problems he sees, Timm is an optimist for how the tech can remove what he calls “Entropy” from workflows and make some tasks easier.

In one fashion or another, all state legislatures exercise oversight of state agencies and programs. They do this in a variety of ways using standing committees, rules review, auditing offices, sunset provisions, and more. On this episode of the podcast, we dive into the topic of oversight with three guests who all have different vantage points to observe the process. They include Kade Minchey, auditor general with the Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor General; Holly Trice, registrar of regulations in Virginia and on the staff of the Virginia Joint Commission on Administrative Rules; and Will Clark, who works with NCSL's Center for Legislative Strengthening. Will Clark started our discussion with an explanation of some of the basics of oversight, the approaches used, and the tools available to legislators.Kade Minchey explained how his office in Utah uses performance audits to help agencies improve and how the legislative committee responsible for audits uses the information. Holly Trice talked about the rules review process in Virginia, how the legislature and executive branch work together, and how they afford all legislators and the public a chance to weigh in. ResourcesThe Best Practice Handbook: Root Cause Analysis and Driving Results, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralThe Best Practice Handbook: A Practical Guide to Excellence for Utah Government, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah State Correctional Facility: An Examination of Staffing, Culture, Safety, and Security, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah's Behavioral Health System: A Case for Governance, Strategic Planning, and Accountability, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah's Election System and Controls, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah's Water Management: Ensuring Data Integrity, Program Best Practices, and Comprehensive Water Planning, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralSeparation of Powers: An Overview, NCSLSeparation of Powers: Legislative Oversight, NCSLVirginia Register of RegulationsVirginia Regulatory Town Hall 

What happens when governance goes wrong? A set of negative patterns is usually the culprit, with small breakdowns quietly building over time until boards find themselves struggling with trust, clarity, or effectiveness. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton, Chad Klawetter, Vice President of Board Governance and Development at FCCS, and Barb Wilkinson, Senior Board Governance Consultant at FCCS. Together, they examine the four warning signs that, left unaddressed, can seriously undermine a board's ability to lead, govern, and create value.   Episode Insights Include: Developing the four horsemen Board erosion is rarely a catastrophic event. It happens over time, then all at once. These common threats are among the many that board members have to keep track of. Board members need to ask themselves if they see signs of these 4 horsemen, and what they can do about it. These four horsemen can be a starting point for frequent conversations about improvement.   Horsemen number 1 "The board lacks a constructive partnership with the CEO." A healthy board partnership is built on trust. It is obvious both in and outside the boardroom what each person's role is and how to work together. Great alignment is a key sign of a healthy relationship. Frequent surprises indicate a partnership breakdown. Oversight needs to be balanced with support. Knowing whose role is what is critical. CEO evaluations can be an effective way to check in on roles.   Horsemen number 2 "The board cedes committee control to the staff." Staff should be part of committee decisions. If staff start to dominate board meetings, board work can't be done effectively. Excessively long board meetings indicate that governance work isn't being done at the appropriate level. Committees are for boards, not for staff. Boards can reclaim committee meetings without alienating staff by resetting the committee charter.   Horseman number 3 "The board doesn't follow a regular practice of self-evaluation." Not everyone seeks out constructive feedback, and many resist it. Consider what feedback is needed. Anonymous feedback allows members to speak freely about concerns. The board is entrusted to evaluate and manage itself, and needs to exercise maturity and self-awareness to do so effectively. Peer evaluations from other board members can help with better self-evaluations.   Horseman number 4 "The board doesn't tell itself the truth about its culture." Board culture can be defined in a variety of ways, including the norms, expectations, and behaviors of the board. Culture is as powerful as gravity, with massive implications on every aspect of governance. Culture should not be relegated to a soft skill that can be put on the back burner. Board culture can be built in a variety of small and effective ways.   Common blindspots in the boardroom Avoidance of conflict causes problems. Tools can be brought in to support board members. A homogeneous board is not ideal; healthy debate and conflict will produce better results. The idea of a CEO answering to multiple bosses can be awkward, but it is part of board protocol. Healthy debate should be encouraged in the boardroom. Psychological safety is an essential component of productive conversations.   First steps to addressing the horsemen As a board, be honest with yourself about what's happening. Take five minutes at the end of each board meeting to debrief. Recognize that people have good intentions, but good governance is a process. A horseman can be a powerful, trusted asset to a board.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Chad Klawetter – Chad Klawetter   Connect with Barb Wilkinson – Barb Wilkinson   Get in touch – info@fccsconsulting.com   "Rarely do we see huge, catastrophic things happen on boards.

The U.S. economy is creating wealth… but not many jobs. At the same time, AI is spreading across the workplace, yet most employees still don't trust it to run without human oversight. In today's episode of Future Ready Today, I break down the signals behind the "jobless boom," what the Federal Reserve is warning leaders about, why the job-switching pay premium is collapsing, and the rise of AI agents that can literally hire humans to do real-world work. Stories covered: Only 17% trust workplace AI without human oversight The shrinking job-hopping premium and the loyalty tax The Fed's three AI labor-market scenarios (including a "jobless boom") Growth without jobs: investment, output, and the widening GDP–jobs gap AI agents hiring humans: the rise of the "Human API" economy

Human touch feels good — but it may also do far more than we realize. From a reassuring hand on the shoulder to a long hug or massage, deliberate touch can trigger measurable biological responses in the body. This episode begins with what science reveals about why touch matters and what happens when we don't get enough of it. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/everyone-top/202108/the-vital-importance-human-touch It's easy to assume that the big moments shape our lives — but what if tiny, seemingly meaningless choices matter just as much, or even more? A few minutes, a small decision, or a random event can quietly ripple outward in ways we never see. Brian Klaas joins me to explain how chance, chaos, and randomness shape our lives — and how understanding this can actually help you make better choices. Brian is an associate professor in global politics at University College London, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, and author of Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters (https://amzn.to/3SrRj31). “Big Tech” companies influence how we communicate, shop, work, and even think — yet they operate with surprisingly little oversight. Who should be setting the rules for companies with that much power? And what happens if no one does? Tom Wheeler explains why tech regulation matters, what's at stake, and who should be in charge. Tom served as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission during the Obama administration and is author of Techlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded Age? (https://amzn.to/47OunPU). And finally, could what kids eat affect their risk of asthma, eczema, or other allergic conditions? Research suggests a link between fast food consumption and respiratory allergies.
