Air Date 5/30/2025 Given the overwhelming weirdness of Trump and his malfeasant style of governance, it would be perfectly understandable for casual observers to believe that his signature piece of legislation, weirdly named in reality the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," was itself also likely to be pretty weird; a potential departure from usual Republican Party policy priorities. In reality, what's weird is how deeply normal it is: take from the poor and give to the rich while letting corporations get away with murder.

Playing 'Baby Shark' to deter homelessness? That's where we're at in liberal-run cities, folks. A Los Angeles barber shop was FORCED to stop their musical deterrent while officials do nothing about sidewalks covered in human waste, drug paraphernalia, and violence. This episode exposes the absurd priorities of city leaders who crack down on business owners trying to protect their livelihoods but allow $BILLIONS in taxpayer money to flow into a homeless industrial complex with zero accountability. From Portland to LA, we show you the real consequences of misguided compassion—shuttered businesses, unsafe streets, and destroyed neighborhoods. Why are officials prioritizing the 'right' to defecate and do drugs in public over legitimate business owners paying insane tax rates? When will someone actually address the root issues instead of band-aid solutions? Subscribe, hit that notification bell, and share this video to expose the madness your tax dollars are funding!
Today, we're diving into the complex and often contentious world of religious schools. Are they a threat to social cohesion and tolerance, or are they simply an expression of parental rights and freedom of religion? Some argue that religious schools may indoctrinate children or isolate communities, while others insist parents should be free to raise their children in accordance with their deepest values — including their faith.So who's right? And what should this mean for public policy — especially in terms of how states regulate and fund religious education?To help us think about these questions, we're joined by Professor Adam Swift, a leading philosopher of education and parenting, and co-author of a new book exploring these very issues. Mentioned in this episode:Clayton, M., Mason, A., Swift, A. with Wareham, R. (2024). How To Think About Religious Schools: Principles and Policies.

This week, we're re-releasing an episode from May 2024 featuring an interview with Alexander Kustov on his forthcoming book, In Our Interest: How to Make Immigration Popular. The book was recently published on April 29, 2025, making now an opportune time to revisit the conversation. In the episode, Senior Advisor Theresa Cardinal Brown and Associate Director Jack Malde speak with Kustov, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, about his research on how public opinion toward immigration is formed—and whether it can be shifted. Kustov argues that the most effective way to build durable support for immigration is to adopt demonstrably beneficial policies that make voters confident their government is managing immigration in their interest.

Collaboration between curriculum and technology departments is essential. AI can help create lesson plans and teaching materials efficiently.

They also discuss the successes and perceived failures of the Greens in pushing for greater funding in housing policies.

New on CodeWACK! Sex Ed, Medicaid, & Abortion Access: A trio of policies worth fighting for by Nurse Talk
Life insurers are asset managers with a primary focus on growing your relatively small premium dollars into a significant death benefit. They invest prudently to protect themselves from loss when it's time to pay claims. Over many years, this conservative approach to growing assets can work to your advantage. When you put an "overfunded" policy in force, you capitalize on the insurance company's incentive to grow value from the dollars it collects. Since losing money would hurt their financial standing, they're strongly motivated to maximize returns with low relative risk. Insurance companies excel at this task, and state laws mandate that they must share the value they build with policyholders. Our strategy for decades has been giving insurance companies more money than they need and forcing them to grow those extra dollars just like the required ones. Your excess premium isn't subjected to the same expenses as the required premium, allowing for faster growth of your cash value. This approach combines solid returns with zero risk of year-over-year loss. _______________________ Want to learn how overfunded life insurance can fit into your wealth-building strategy? Contact us today to discover how we can help you implement this approach for long-term financial growth with minimal risk.
Susan M. Akram, Clinical Professor and Director of the International Human Rights Clinic at Boston University School of Law, discusses a significant report she co-authored and published through the University Network for Human Rights. Titled "Apartheid in Israel: An Analysis of Israel's Laws and Policies and the Responsibilities of U.S. Academic and Other Institutions," the report presents a detailed legal analysis demonstrating how Israel's treatment of Palestinians meets the internationally recognized legal definition of apartheid. Building on this conclusion, the report goes further to explore the ethical and legal obligations of academic institutions in the United States when engaging with or supporting a state accused of committing the crime of apartheid. It underscores that, rather than facing punishment, students and others who protest these injustices should be afforded protection under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Human Rights Defenders.

Let's unpack the risks, responsibilities, and strategic considerations of gifting these policies, while emphasizing the importance of education and control in building generational wealth through infinite banking.

This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
Today, we're joined by Mahesh Sathiamoorthy, co-founder and CEO of Bespoke Labs, to discuss how reinforcement learning (RL) is reshaping the way we build custom agents on top of foundation models. Mahesh highlights the crucial role of data curation, evaluation, and error analysis in model performance, and explains why RL offers a more robust alternative to prompting, and how it can improve multi-step tool use capabilities. We also explore the limitations of supervised fine-tuning (SFT) for tool-augmented reasoning tasks, the reward-shaping strategies they've used, and Bespoke Labs' open-source libraries like Curator. We also touch on the models MiniCheck for hallucination detection and MiniChart for chart-based QA. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/731.
Don is back! And so is the news circus we call America. First up, Trump's tariff “win” with China, which is actually a massive walk-back after the economy started gasping for air. He created the crisis, hit pause, and now wants a trophy for it. Spoiler: we're not buying it. Then there's the refugee situation. White South African farmers are being welcomed with open arms, while refugees from Black and brown countries are being rounded up, deported, and tossed into mass detention centers without due process. So much for "equal treatment under the law." Don breaks it all down, the spin, the racism, and the chaos you deserve to understand without the nonsense. Glad to be back. Let's get into it.
As the U.S. military faces a recruiting crisis, women have been consistent enlistees into America's armed forces. So why is Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canceling a program supporting them?
On this episode, we’re diving into the blatant fear-mongering that dominated the Sunday morning talk shows. The usual suspects—NBC, ABC, CNN—were out in full force, spinning doomsday scenarios about President Trump’s second-term policies. From economic collapse to international isolation, the talking heads couldn’t help but push their tired, anti-Trump narratives, ignoring the actual successes unfolding across the country. We break down their dishonest takes, expose the coordinated messaging, and remind listeners why the establishment media still can’t handle a government that puts America First.

Tonight, we're diving into the chaos of the day...because there's a lot. First up: Trump's tariff “win” that's actually a loss. He blinked, paused the China tariffs, and now he's trying to spin it like a masterstroke. Don't fall for it. When the markets tank and you retreat, that's called backing down, not “playing 4D chess.” Then we get into the deeply telling policy shift: White South African farmers are being granted refugee status, while Black and brown refugees are being thrown into mass detention centers with no due process. Tell us more about how this isn't about race. And finally, we'll bring you the latest in the Diddy trial. What happened in court today, what's next, and what it means as this high-profile case unfolds. Joining us tonight: journalist and author Jemele Hill, and attorney and author Areva Martin...two sharp minds to help us unpack it all. Grab a drink. It's going to be a ride.
The Trump administration announced plans, currently on hold, to deport migrants to Libya, even if they are not from the country originally, and offered a financial incentive for people to "self-deport." Then, President Trump pulled his previous nominee for surgeon general, and nominated a wellness influencer recommended to him by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. And, we say so long — but not farewell — to a podcast stalwart. This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, immigration policy reporter Ximena Bustillo, senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, science correspondent Will Stone, and White House correspondent Asma Khalid.The podcast is produced by Lexie Schapitl, Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger, and edited by Casey Morell.

Bodyoid Horror: MIT's Trial Balloon to Grow Humans for Parts Unleashes Ethical Hell MIT floats a nightmare—grow “bodyoids” in labs for drugs, organs, maybe meat! No pain, no brains, they claim, but the transhumanist abyss yawns wide. Is this science or a soulless descent into Brave New World? Apple Readies “AI Agent Doctor” & Robotics is About to Have An “iPhone Moment”, Going Viral Apple's is nearing release of an AI agent to act as “doctor”, spy on your life, and dox you to whoever pays them. But that's just the start: AI agents and humanoid robots are exploding onto the scene, with NVIDIA's CEO predicting streets swarming with bots by 2030 and the CEO of Figure says the 3 necessary tech hurdles to enable the trillion-dollar bot boom are here. It's totalitarianism meets voyeuristic tech terror Autism Apocalypse: Vaccine Giants Fuel a Silent Epidemic Autism rates are skyrocketing, with a 17% surge in just two years—now hitting 1 in 31 kids! While Big Pharma pumps 76 shots into vulnerable children, they dodge blame, claiming “better diagnosis” and use measles fearmongering to distract us. It's a profit-driven plague, destroying a generation while silencing voices screaming for truth! AI's Soulless Secret Unveils Meaning of “Image of God” and the Dignity of Humans Bryan Trilli's explosive book, Soulless Intelligence: How AI Proves We Need God, reveals AI's fatal flaw. Ironically, AI may teach us what being in the image of God means and why ALL humans have value regardless of differing degrees of intellectual and physical abilities AI Twins: Digital Clones as Personal Assistants or Something Family Can Interact with When Your Gone A new wave of AI startups is crafting digital twins—eerie replicas that mimic your voice, thoughts, and actions, taking your meetings, answering emails, and even “comforting” loved ones after your death! Are they trying to replicate Michael Keaton's Multiplicity or Marlon Brando's computer tutor for his son in Superman? Supreme Court Showdown: Parents Battle School Board's ‘Pagan Pedophilia' Curriculum Pushing LGBTQ Sex Stories on 3-Year-Olds A Maryland school board's sinister plan to force pre-K kids as young as three into explicit LGBTQ-themed storybooks—like same-sex playground sex—has ignited a court challenge The case exposes a chilling state takeover of children's minds, funded by your skyrocketing property taxes. First 100 Days: Trump says “I Run the Country and the World” With 130 executive orders in under 100 days, he's bypassing Congress and the judiciary, claiming sweeping powers over trade, immigration, and speech. He says he “runs the country” and he's talking about a third term. What would George Washington say? Is this the end of constitutional governance and the rise of an imperial presidency? What will Democrats do with this kind of power? Trump's Medicine Madness: 5 Years Later History Rhymes He shrugs, 'Take your medicine,' blaming 'stupid leaders' for jobs fleeing to Mexico and China. But wait—wasn't he the mastermind behind USMCA? It's flaming hypocrisy as his flip-flopping tariffs spark an 'earthquake' of hidden damage—broken markets, shattered foundations, and a $37 trillion debt he won't touch! Meanwhile, The chaos & uncertainty are more damaging than his “medicinal” tariffs as he locks down the economy Trump's ‘medicine', focused on countries not industries, are sanctions by another name—while the real enemy, government debt and control, lurks in the shadows Punishing Those Found “NOT GUILTY” is OK with US Courts In a shocking abuse of power, Illinois cops seized a plumbing company's truck after a drunk driver crashed into it—and they've held it for over 15 months without a warrant or explanation! And, as stealing property without even charging people with a crime has become standard practice so has “acquitted-conduct sentencing” where judges ignore NOT GUILTY jury verdicts and punish people for conduct the jury has acquitted — and the Supreme Court allows it to continue! Trump Goes Full Knucklehead with MS-13 Tattoo Tantrum Over a Photoshopped Lie Trump's unhinged meltdown over a crudely photoshopped MS-13 tattoo exposes not only his shocking ignorance but an administration cowed into sycophancy, afraid to tell him when he forgets to wear his pants. His administration is ignoring REAL evidence of cartel activity by the individual in question and doubling down on fake evidence out of pride and a determination to never admit a mistake. How typical. How telling. How amusing and dangerous at the same time. China's Rare Earth Stranglehold: A Wake-Up Call for America China's iron grip on over 90% of the world's rare earth mineral processing threatens to cripple U.S. technology, healthcare, and defense industries overnight as China's ready to turn off the tap in a high-stakes trade war in response to Trump's tariffs. Join Josh Ballard, CEO of USA Rare Earth (USARE.com, NASDAQ:USRE), as he exposes the strategic maneuvering that gave China its monopoly, and unveils a bold plan to rebuild America's supply chain from the ground up.
