The administration of US President Donald Trump has granted refugee status to 49 white Afrikaners, echoing a debunked conspiracy theory about “white genocide” in South Africa. The move comes after Trump cut aid to the nation and threatened to boycott meetings with its government. What’s behind Trump’s fixation on South Africa?

Earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. He has placed this issue at the forefront of his immigration agenda and it is now being taken up by the Supreme Court. To have this conversation, we've brought together a constitutional law scholar and a political commentator.Cristina Rodríguez is the Leighton Homer Surbeck Professor of Law at Yale Law School. In 2021, she was appointed by President Biden to co-chair the Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. Her recent book is called The President and Immigration Law. She's also the co-host of the new podcast: Unsettled: Immigration in Turbulent Times.Rod D. Martin writes The Rod Martin Report on Substack. He is also the Founder and CEO of Martin Capital. As a tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Rod was previously an advisor to Peter Thiel. Rod also served as policy director to Mike Huckabee, the former Governor of Arkansas.We talk a lot about the 14th Amendment in this episode. It was ratified in 1868 to give formerly enslaved people the right to vote. Here's what it says: “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Keep that phrase in mind. “Subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” It'll come up a lot.Our guests also discuss the Supreme Court cases Elk v Wilkins, Slaughterhouse, and Wong Kim Ark. All you need to know for this episode is: those rulings influenced the interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Last note, this episode is moderated by co-host and co-founder, Catherine Cushenberry.

Trump's coalition is unraveling. What was once sold as a unified right-wing project is now fracturing into open conflict between legacy arms manufacturers, Silicon Valley militarists, Wall Street financiers, and ideological operatives like Bannon and Leonard Leo. As Trump's chaotic tariffs wreck global supply chains, even key backers like Charles Koch and Peter Thiel are hedging their bets. Meanwhile, Corporate Democrats offer no real alternative—caught between donor loyalty and popular discontent. But beneath the elite infighting, there is a growing hunger for a real alternative—one rooted in democracy, solidarity, and working-class power. This episode exposes the fault lines of U.S. power—and why their shared refusal to confront climate catastrophe or nuclear danger puts us all at risk.

After Silicon Valley's yeet to the right after Donald Trump was elected in 2016, and the DOGE-ification of the federal government (read: chaos and abuse as the driving ethos of HR), it felt like high time to delve into the evolving relationship between tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and the U.S. government. Their influence has massive implications for core constitutional issues such as mass surveillance, privacy, and deregulation. Kara Swisher joins Dahlia Lithwick on this week's Amicus to highlight the dangers of tech giants' encroachment on government oversight and the implications of AI and cryptocurrency.  This week's episode concludes with a heartfelt tribute to Justice David Souter who died on Thursday. Dahlia and former Souter Clerk Mary-Rose Papandrea reflect on the late Justice's humility, judicial philosophy, and the profound loss felt by his former clerks and the legal community.

Artificial Intelligence has been “just around the corner” for decades, continually disappointing those who long believed in its potential. But now, with the emergence and growing use of ChatGPT, Gemini, and a rapidly multiplying number of other AI tools, many are wondering: Has AI's moment finally arrived? In AI Valley, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Rivlin brings us deep into the world of AI development in Silicon Valley. Over the course of more than a year, Rivlin closely follows founders and venture capitalists trying to capitalize on this AI moment. That includes LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, the legendary investor whom the Wall Street Journal once called, “the most connected person in Silicon Valley.” Through Hoffman, Rivlin is granted access to a number of companies on the cutting-edge of AI research, such as Inflection AI, the company Hoffman cofounded in 2022, and OpenAI, the San Francisco-based startup that sparked it all with its release at the end of that year of ChatGPT. In addition to Hoffman, Rivlin introduces us to other AI experts, including OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman and Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of DeepMind, an early AI startup that Google bought for $650  million in 2014. Rivlin also brings readers inside Microsoft, Meta, Google and other tech giants scrambling to keep pace. On this vast frontier, no one knows which of these companies will hit it big–or which will flame out spectacularly. In this riveting narrative marbled with familiar names such as Musk, Zuckerberg, and Gates, Rivlin chronicles breakthroughs as they happen, giving us a deep understanding of what's around the corner in AI development. An adventure story full of drama and unforgettable personalities, AI Valley promises to be the definitive story for anyone seeking to understand the latest phase of world-changing discoveries and the minds behind them.

In 2017, Tom Nichols wrote, "The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters". The book has been translated into 14 languages and has proved to be, unfortunately, quite prescient. Nichols has recently come out with a second edition of the book. He joins to discuss the on-going attack on expertise, why Elon Musk is cutting thousands of government jobs, and why authoritarians always go after the experts.

Robert D. Martin comes out of the Christian establishment from places I do not generally have access to, including being on the Board of the Liberty University School of Business, an officer of the Southern Baptist Convention, and working with powerful politicians and financiers. We ended up talking in depth before and after the show on our feelings about God in our lives. Rod is one of the most informed and articulate people I have met on global affairs from a historical and current events viewpoint. He will definitely add to your knowledge about what is going on in the clash between good and evil in the world today. Rod has many insights into the nature of human evil and how it is embedded in our institutions. However, he also expresses hope and details some reasons for hope in the beginning of a rebirth of Christianity in America, especially among younger people.   Rod speaks with amazing clarity and conviction about the most important issues of our day, making this one of my best hours of listening to another person's ideas.   Rod D. Martin, Founder and CEO of Martin Capital and The Rod Martin Report, is an investor, technology entrepreneur, and futurist from Destin, Florida. Fox Business calls him a “tech guru,” Gawker once labeled him a “brilliant nonconformist,” while Britain's Guardian describes him as a “philosopher capitalist.” BlazeTV has named him “one of America's leading public intellectuals.”   Rod was part of PayPal's pre-IPO startup team, serving as special counsel to founder and CEO Peter Thiel and as policy director to former Governor Mike Huckabee. He is active in a variety of charitable and educational endeavors, including service on the Board of Directors of the Center for Security Policy, on the Board of Advisors at the Liberty University School of Business, and as co-founder of the Conservative Baptist Network.     ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

Jonny and Heather celebrate the official debut of Tesserae, Cabondale's premier queer+ choir and the incredible turnout of community support.They then turn from the audible to the visible to discuss the queer stories this week about photo manipulation. In the back half of the show they briefly review the rotten tomato of the Trump Administration's report and advisement policies for trans youth. They then share some stories of how queers are making small changes to blend in, contrasting those survival tricks with VP "Shady" Vance's preference for "normal gays." It's a show with a slightly different take than the usual on queer visibility.

Dr. Kenneth Rogoff has undoubtedly had one of the highest-profile and most interesting careers of any Grandmaster working outside of chess. He is an author and Harvard professor who was once singled-out by none other than Bobby Fischer, as a player who had shown remarkable chess improvement. As a young chess star, Dr. Rogoff actually dropped out of high school to move to Europe and pursue chess professionally, but by age 18 he had returned to the U.S. and enrolled at Yale. He would remain active in chess for many more years, but his top priority gradually switched from chess to academics, and he eventually quit chess entirely (save for an exhibition game against Magnus Carlsen in 2012) Dr. Rogoff still loves chess and thinks about it all the time, but economics turned out to be the right decision for him, as he has become a distinguished professor who has worked as the Chief Economist at the World Bank, and has met 8 different U.S. Presidents in his life. His new book, Our Dollar, Your Problem,intersperses occasional lessons from his chess career while providing a modern history of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency. This interview focuses primarily on Dr. Rogoff's chess career, but those interested in his reflections on the global economy should stay tuned until the end of the interview, and should definitely check out his new book.

First generation warfare is fought with sticks and stones. Brute force, kinetic damage, and show of force. Second and third generation warfare is fought with attrition, logistics, blitzkrieg, and disruption. In Afghanistan and Iraq we fought fourth generation warfare: insurgency, terrorism, and psychological operations. With each successive generation, the lines between combatants and non-combatants blur, direct attrition becomes rarer, and tricks of deception and misdirection become all the more important.Today, we are in a 5th generation war: a war of information. Cybernetic tools such as AI, analytics, and information systems manipulate narratives, public perception, and sow discord. The line between the real and the artificial blurs, and entire battles are won without kinetic force. Information is the new oil, and the battlefield is everywhere and anywhere.Imagine if you viewed the ascendant right—from mainstream figures like Auron MacIntyre and Candace Owens to the outskirts like Nick Fuentes and Dan Bilzerian—as an existential threat to your democratic project. You need to get ahead of it, fast. But the censorship you enjoyed during COVID is pretty much done thanks to Elon Musk, and their narratives and cause are picking up steam.You could attempt to run containment manually and hire thousands of agents to identify threats and shut them down. But if the IRS's track record is any indication, it's a tough job—even hunting down unpaid taxes—with a $14 billion budget and 33 district offices. You need something better, faster, and more discrete.If we are in the 5th generation warfare, how about a private company focused on deep analytics and intelligence augmentation? And say this company had existing contracts with the CIA, DHS, NSA, the FBI, and a dozen other government agencies going back over a decade? And all the better if this company was founded by an ostensibly right-wing billionaire who personally bankrolled high-profile politicians now ascending into the highest positions in the land?None of this is hypothetical. The company I'm describing is Palantir, named for the seeing stone in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. It was founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal. Thiel made JD Vance a household name through mentorship, his short venture capital career, and over $15 million invested in his Senate campaign. Thiel no longer runs Palantir. Instead, eccentric co-founder & CEO Alex Karp has turned it into a deadly tool in the Middle East and Europe for antiterrorism efforts. Palantir uses massive amounts of data to find pre-crime via patterns, surveillance, and artificial intelligence.Today we are diving into this all-important relationship between JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Ohio Governor hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, and the MAGA coalition. Can we still trust the plan?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Anthony Bartlett, a leading scholar of René Girard, describes Girardian theory as precisely not the understanding given to it by Peter Thiel and right-wing Girardians (would be kingmakers in an authoritarian state). In a Girardian reading of the "sign of Jonah" Jesus and Christianity are anti-imperial, anti-oppressive authoritarianism. "A Christianity that would deploy Girardian insights for power and violence are of the anti-Christ."  (Register now for the course Colossians and Christology which will run from June 3rd to July 29th https://pbi.forgingploughshares.org/offerings) If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

The past year has seen lots of discussion of the ‘human' nature of AI. Programs like ChatGPT were writing poetry, engaging in debates, and roasting users with witty retorts. Educators have been facing more serious concerns as they navigate a world in which students no longer need to learn to do their own research, writing, or thinking. But the militarization of AI makes these other activities seem like Donkey Kong. Investigative journalist Peter Byrne joins Steve to talk about the treacherous relationship between technology, capitalism, and militarization. They discuss how companies like Palantir, funded by figures such as Peter Thiel, have leveraged vast amounts of capital—often government-funded—to develop this militarized AI. In other words, venture capitalists and tech startups are shaping modern warfare.Peter draws historical parallels, explaining that the automation of warfare is not a new phenomenon but has evolved significantly since the days of analog computers in World War II. It only increases its destructive capabilities by unthinkable magnitudes. We would do well to remember that machine learning models are incapable of achieving true intelligence. They reflect the ideology and interests of those who are responsible for them.Peter Byrne is an award-winning investigative science reporter who has long uncovered corruption at the nexus of science and industry. Now, in partnership with Project Censored, Byrne has launched Military AI Watch, a groundbreaking ten-part series that will run monthly on Project Censored's website.https://www.projectcensored.org/military-ai-watch/

Efter 100 dage har de fleste samfundsanalytikere opgivet at finde den store mening med, hvad Donald Trump og hans håndlangere vil med USA og vores alle sammens fremtid, så nu påtager ’Den levende’s Lotte Folke og Eva Eistrup sig opgaven. Og det gør de ved at gå på opdagelse i sci-fi-litteraturen, superhelteuniverserne og Margaret Atwood for at finde svar. Hvor meget af forståelsen skal man finde i, at Donald Trump denne gang har allieret sig med en flok tech-milliardærer som Elon Musk, der allerede nu radikalt har påvirket forandringen af USA? For netop folk som Elon Musk, Palantir-chef Peter Thiel og Meta-chef Mark Zuckerberg er vokset op med fantasy og science fiction, fra de var helt små, og det er her, de har fundet historierne om det samfund af kaos og rumrejser, metaverser og cyberdrømme, de nu er i gang med at udleve med USA og verden som legeplads og Donald Trump som allieret. Politik handler som bekendt om at lægge planer for fremtiden. Og det har dem, der har magten lige nu, gjort siden de var helt små. ’Den levende’ udkommer i denne uge i samarbejde med Politikens USA-podcast ’Du lytter til USA’ og kan findes hos alle podcasttjenester og på pol.dk.

South African writer Rešoketšwe Manenzhe joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about the influence that wealthy South African immigrants like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are having on the Trump administration and conservative U.S. politics in general. Manenzhe talks about how growing up under apartheid may have shaped these men's views, how South Africans view Musk now, and what the country's history can tell us about the current American political situation. She also discusses South Africa's Immorality Act of 1927 and reads from her novel, Scatterlings.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek.

This episode features two of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek.

Sam Altman didn't want to be the subject of a biography, suggesting the AI revolution is about more than one person, says Keach Hagey, a Wall Street Journal reporter and author of “The Optimist.” But on this episode, host and Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones, along with executive editor Claire Howorth and Hive editor Michael Calderone, go deep on the man himself, speaking with Hagey about Altman's progressive politics, friendship with Peter Thiel, feud with Elon Musk, and dealings with Donald Trump, along with his brief exit from OpenAI—aka “The Blip”—and vision for this potentially world-altering technology.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this compelling episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes investigative journalist and author Iain Davis for an in-depth conversation about his latest two-part exposé, "The Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate," recently published on Unlimited Hangout. Davis unpacks the intricate web of technocratic and neoreactionary ideologies that, he argues, are reshaping the American political landscape under the banner of "Dark MAGA"—a term popularized by Elon Musk at a Trump rally and emblematic of a deeper, less-understood transformation within the U.S. power structure. Key Topics in the Episode: Dark MAGA and the Rise of the Technate: Davis explains the meaning behind Musk's “I'm not just MAGA, I'm dark MAGA” proclamation, situating it within a broader movement that seeks to merge public governance with private corporate power, forming what he describes as a "gov-corp Technate." This system, he warns, is characterized by centralized technocratic control, where unelected experts and oligarchs—figures like Musk, Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen—wield unprecedented influence over public policy and national direction. The Ideological Foundations: The discussion delves into the philosophical roots of this transformation, exploring the overlap between Technocracy (the belief in governance by technical experts) and the Dark Enlightenment or neoreactionary movement, which rejects democratic norms in favor of hierarchical, CEO-led governance structures. Davis highlights how these ideas are not just theoretical but are actively shaping initiatives like the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and proposals for "Freedom Cities"—private city-states within the U.S. backed by tech billionaires. Listeners can expect a thought-provoking dialogue that challenges mainstream narratives and explores the real-world impact of emerging political philosophies on democracy, governance, and individual rights. Tune in for a riveting exploration of the forces behind the Dark MAGA movement and the future of technocratic governance—only on The Courtenay Turner Podcast. ▶Follow & Connect with Iain Davis:⁠✩ Website⁠ ⁠✩ Twitter⁠ ⁠✩ Read: The Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate — Part 1⁠ ⁠✩ Read: The Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate — Part 2⁠ ____________________________________________________________________ ⁠▶ GET On-Demand Access for Courtenay's Cognitive Liberty Conference⁠ ⁠Cognitive liberty Conference⁠ ----------------------------------------- ▶ Follow & Connect with Courtenay: ⁠CourtenayTurner.com⁠ ⁠Linktree⁠ ▶ Support my work & Affiliate links: ⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠ ⁠GiveSendGo⁠ ⁠Venmo⁠ ⁠Cash APP⁠ ⁠RNC Store Vitamin B-17!⁠ ⁠Far Infrared Saunas...Promo: COURTZ⁠ ⁠Stem Cell Activation⁠ ⁠Gold Gate Capital⁠ ⁠Free Satellite Phone...Promo: COURTZ⁠ ⁠MagicDichol⁠ ⁠Goldbacks=Real Currency!

Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. There aren't many people like Cyan Banister. Her life story is remarkable. She was homeless at a young age, dropped out of high school, and five years ago she suffered an extremely rare stroke. Yet, in spite of everything, she is one of the most optimistic and curious people you can hope to meet. Cyan is also one of the great angel investors of this era, having invested early in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates, and Deepmind to name a few winners. She became the first female investing partner at Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and now invests at Long Journey Ventures. Our conversation is as much about investing as it is about the essence of life and how connecting with that will help us in our professional pursuits. It is also full of awesome stories about people and companies like SpaceX and Bill Murray. Please enjoy this great conversation with Cyan Banister.

Billionaire investor and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel sits down with Jordan Peterson for a powerful conversation about why real progress has stalled. Thiel argues that the last truly groundbreaking achievement may have been landing on the moon—and since then, we've slowed down. He explains how fear, red tape, and over-specialization have made us more cautious and less ambitious. They dig into how society has shifted away from building and inventing, toward digital distractions and endless talk. They also explore what's been lost as faith and meaning have disappeared from public life. From broken universities to status-driven culture wars, this is a deep and thought-provoking look at the challenges facing the West—and what we might do to turn things around. Peter Thiel is a German-born entrepreneur, venture capitalist, activist, and billionaire who emigrated to the U.S. as a child, eventually settling in California after years of moving between countries. A Stanford Law graduate, he began his career as a clerk and derivatives trader before founding Thiel Capital with $1 million from friends and family. Despite early setbacks, he co-founded Confinity, which became PayPal, launching a streak of ventures including Palantir, Clarium Capital, and early investment in Facebook. Thiel is an openly gay supporter of the Republican party, advocating for both equal rights and certain conservative policies, making his political stance admirably nuanced. This episode was filmed on March 31st, 2025.  | Links | For Peter Thiel: X https://x.com/peterthiel?lang=en Read “Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future” https://a.co/d/fAfeXm8

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine?  This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.  Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
