Conrad Black argues that Canada's economic growth has stalled due to high corporate taxes and "climate alarmist" policies under the Trudeau government. He suggests that new leadership under Mark Carney could revitalize the nation by making it more tax-competitive with the U.S. Canada's vast resources and skilled workforce provide the potential for a rapid rebound. For Canada to succeed, it must pivot back to pro-capitalist policies and attract foreign investment to drive future growth. (16)1945

Erick connects lost American institutional knowledge (nobody can build an IMAX 70 millimeter projector anymore, and Plant Vogtle had to reteach the country how to build a nuclear power plant) to the bigger story: China is building 39 nuclear reactors and 100 coal plants while the United States builds zero.

In this segment, host Tara Servatius critiques the state of modern television and streaming content, arguing that program quality has significantly declined. Citing statistical data regarding industry demographics, she points out a drop in the percentage of white male TV writers from 60% in 2011 to 12% in 2025, attributing this shift to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring mandates. Servatius contends that top-rated series remain overwhelmingly driven by white creators, claiming that excluding established talent harms overall entertainment value. She links this cultural critique to the broader media landscape, suggesting that opposition from Democratic attorneys general toward the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger stems from fears of conservative-aligned leadership restoring non-partisan programming to major networks.

During the third hour of the broadcast, host Charlie James updates listeners on South Carolina's shifting political landscape following the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. While initially expected to act solely as an interim caretaker until January, Darlene Graham—who has formally dropped "Nordone" from her name—is now heavily considering a run for her late brother's full six-year seat. This potential campaign gained significant momentum after President Donald Trump issued an official endorsement for her via Truth Social, dramatically shifting the field for the upcoming special primary election. James additionally breaks down a controversial local housing recall impacting Taco Bell and strongly condemns Representative Davy Hiott for quietly killing a bipartisan bill that would have legalized over-the-counter Ivermectin, pointing out a blatant conflict of interest involving Hiott's son's role as a pharmaceutical lobbyist. He concludes the hour by warning listeners that conservative values are responsible for building thriving municipalities, contrasting them with progressive housing policies under figures like New York's Zohran Mamdani that systematically undermine private property and accelerate civic decay.

Judy Dempsey discusses the US naval blockade of Iran and European concerns over energy security. She argues that European leaders find Trump's policies unpredictable and emphasizes that the future must be built on transparency, democracy, and accountability to counter the rise of authoritarian models like communist China.

A new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California shows Xavier Becerra with a comfortable lead in the gubernatorial race. It also paints the picture that Californians are not eager to host more data centers in their state and still back green policies, as long as they don't cost too much. For more, KCBS Radio News Anchor Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

John Opdycke — founder and president of Open Primaries, one of the leading organizations pushing to end closed partisan primaries — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the exclusion of independent voters is one of the great overlooked scandals of American democracy. Opdycke walks through the byzantine patchwork of voter and party registration rules that vary wildly by state, explains why so many independents sit out partisan primaries entirely, and argues that after 30 years of closed primaries the cumulative effect has been a system where the parties function as both the umpires and the players — a structure that simply doesn't work. He makes the bipartisan argument that tax dollars shouldn't fund the private nominating contests of what are essentially private organizations, and is pointedly critical of Democrats for actively fighting open primary initiatives.He notes that policies with 80% public support routinely fail to pass because voters don't actually have a meaningful say. The conversation turns tactical and forward-looking, with Opdycke offering a sober assessment of the broader reform landscape and its persistent failures. He argues the ranked-choice voting movement has made serious tactical errors, that the party in power always fights ranked choice voting, and that the modern reform and independent movement suffers from a fundamental lack of a compelling public face — as well as from philanthropic funders who attach outcome expectations that distort the work. Opdycke is candid that third parties fare poorly in nearly every electoral system, that Ross Perot's Reform Party is now essentially a shell, and that the American people still don't trust the reform movement — but he sees real opportunity in specific fights, particularly mobilizing Florida's independents to change the law and pursuing top-two systems that would genuinely open the door to competition. He notes the striking statistic that 10,000 people per week are changing their voter registration, laments the general lack of curiosity (and polling) about who swing voters actually are, and argues there's meaningful left-right overlap among libertarians that reformers could tap. They explore whether the redistricting wars could create a backlash against the two-party system, why there are only about 25 competitive House districts left, and why several states are now actually moving back toward closed primaries. They close with a clear-eyed take on 2028: the reform movement needs a credible presidential candidate, and with 2028 shaping up to be a wild and unpredictable year, the opening for that kind of disruption may be wider than it's been in decades.

Chuck Todd opens with the news that Trump is planning a primetime address to push election denialism, and uses it as a lens to examine how thoroughly fealty to the 2020 fraud lie has become the price of admission in Trump's Washington. He argues Todd Blanche should have no place in the Department of Justice, that he failed his test under questioning from John Cornyn, and that the weaponization fund could become the red line that finally moves Collins, Tillis, and Cornyn — because an inability to confirm Blanche would be a clear sign of Trump's weakening grip on the GOP. He points to the surreal spectacle of Jay Clayton refusing to answer Jon Ossoff's simple question of who won the 2020 election, looking like a ridiculous sycophant in the process, and to Trump endorsing MyPillow's Mike Lindell — the single biggest election conspiracy theorist in the country, a man who's lost every court case and been forced to pay $5 million over his false claims. He reminds listeners that it was Trump's own appointees who ran election security in 2020, that every major election denier from Giuliani on down has been forced to retract in court, and that Georgia's full hand recount matched the machines exactly — the only real constant in Trumpworld is that any outcome Trump dislikes gets branded fraud. He then turns to the mounting deaths during ICE encounters, arguing the violence isn't an anomaly but an entirely predictable consequence of an agency whose culture has been deliberately reshaped: DHS recruited candidates with violent psychological profiles using white nationalist slogans, imposed quotas that put officers under enormous stress, and pushed them into vehicle stops that former officials admit ICE has no experience conducting. In two fatal shootings the men killed weren't even the targets, witnesses have disputed the DHS account, there's no body cam footage, and Chuck argues DHS has zero credibility, even as Trump clearly wants the theater and the violent confrontations. On Iran, Chuck is blunt that having less leverage than before the war started is simply what losing a war looks like: the administration badly underestimated Iran's willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iran deliberately decentralized its regime to survive decapitation strikes, and after three failed military strategies in five months, Trump has spent the entire war negotiating against himself — meaning the best America can now hope for is a managed stalemate, because Iran can't beat the U.S. military, it just has to wait out an increasingly impatient Trump. He closes on a lighter note with the House passing a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, offering the contrarian reminder that the public always wants permanent DST until they actually get it — kids forced to go to school in pitch darkness, and the simple reality that what's good for you in the evening is bad for someone else in the morning.

Karen Tay built a peer-support program for women navigating workplace bullying and burnout, ran it through Princeton research, and found something a lot of managers don't expect: the problem usually isn't a lack of effort. It's a lack of support. In this Leading Through Change encore, Karen and Lori unpack what Karen's Princeton-backed research found about workplace adversity, why women in the senior-manager to senior-director range are most likely to drop out of the workforce, and what actually helps. Why "lean on" (a support system) matters more than "lean in" (individual effort) — a framing Karen developed with her Princeton research partner How workplace bullying shows up differently across the US and Asia, and why hierarchy — not just gender — shapes who's vulnerable The three long-term impacts of workplace bullying: practical, relational, and identity/dignity The "burnout trap": why working harder often backfires, and what to do instead What "workplace first aid" looks like, and how organizations can build peer support networks Karen Tay spent the first six years of her career serving the Singapore government before moving into tech, startups, and consulting in Silicon Valley.

In a post-AGI world, can a country without access to frontier AI even be considered sovereign anymore?Anton Leicht says once frontier AI becomes a core economic input, the countries that own it will pull further and further ahead. Everyone else stays a customer… or worse. Maybe the dominant power wants your land, or a military base, or a resource. Without economic leverage, there's very little you could do about it.Anton — Carnegie fellow and writer of the blog Threading the Needle — thinks middle powers should band together and build their own frontier models.He's costed it out: something like $500 billion over four years for a band of allied democracies. That's not absurd money for the G7 minus the US. The problem is you'd be asking treasuries to take on sovereign debt for a speculative venture with no business case, wide open to US coercion and domestic backlash.So despite its promise, Anton's verdict is that it probably won't happen. His backup is for countries to ask themselves: if intelligence becomes abundant, what stays scarce?Upstream, that's everything that feeds the supply chain: ASML's lithography machines, chipmaking, exclusive training data — all of it gets more valuable as AI does.Downstream, “a country of geniuses in a data centre” still can't cure cancer without someone building the production plants and running the trials. The Europeans, Japanese, and South Koreans are good at exactly these real-world bottlenecks.It's an imperfect fix. The US would still hold more leverage, plus an incentive to re-industrialise and cut you out. The prize is avoiding the worst outcomes: a gradual but irreversible decline, waiting to be either annexed or discarded as the US and China race ahead.In this episode, Anton and host Tom Reed look at what middle powers should start doing now to keep a seat at the table.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/AL This episode was recorded on June 19, 2026.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Anton Leicht?

Every organisation wants to provide a workplace where people feel respected, safe and valued. Yet despite widespread awareness, robust policies and increased reporting, workplace bullying and incivility continue to undermine employee wellbeing, engagement and organisational performance. In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Liam Barton (Commercial Director - Insight HR) are joined by Dr. Renee Thompson, CEO and Founder of the Healthy Workforce Institute, to explore why workplace bullying remains such a persistent challenge and what organisations can do to build healthier workplace cultures where respect becomes the norm rather than the exception. Guests Liam Barton — Commercial Director, Insight HR Renee Thompson — CEO & Founder, Healthy Workforce Institute Topics include: Why workplace bullying continues despite increased awareness The difference between bullying and workplace incivility Why senior leaders often have the greatest influence on workplace culture Common mistakes organisations make when responding to bullying complaints Why policies alone are not enough to prevent workplace bullying The importance of training managers to recognise and address inappropriate behaviour Building a culture where difficult conversations happen early The relationship between psychological safety, respect and employee engagement Key Takeaways for HR Leaders Workplace bullying is no longer primarily an awareness issue—it's an execution issue. Organisations must clearly distinguish between bullying and lower-level workplace incivility. Policies are essential, but culture is shaped by everyday behaviours and leadership actions. Managers need the confidence and skills to address inappropriate behaviour promptly. Leadership commitment is critical to creating psychologically safe workplaces. Employees are more likely to report concerns when they trust the organisation will act fairly. Respect, trust and open communication are stronger drivers of engagement than perks alone.

INTERVIEW: Leader of the opposition MP Chris Hipkins on Labour's 2026 Election Policies by Lily Jane on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Are you running the Christian race well—and will the next generation be ready to carry the baton?

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 160 is the third of three episodes focusing on gift acceptance policies for public charities. In this episode, I will focus on aspects of the gift acceptance policy that address IRS compliance, donor recognition, and implementation. In episode 159, I talked about the spectrum of gifts. A well-crafted gift acceptance policy will cover the various types of assets that the organization wants to pursue. These range from the easiest gifts, gifts of cash, to those that are a little bit more complex, like real estate, and to the most complex things, like cryptocurrency, private company interests, and the like. In the first episode in the series, episode 158, I provided an introduction to why gift acceptance policies matter, what they are, the governing principles, and who makes decisions at each step of the gift intake process.

This Day in Legal History: The Scopes “Monkey Trial” OpensOn July 10, 1925, the trial of John T. Scopes opened in the sweltering courthouse of Dayton, Tennessee. Scopes, a young high school teacher, stood accused of violating the state's Butler Act, which made it a crime to teach human evolution in public schools. The case became one of the most famous trials in American history—less because of what happened to Scopes, who was a willing test defendant recruited by the ACLU, than because of the collision it staged between two national figures and two worldviews.On one side was William Jennings Bryan, three-time presidential candidate and champion of the anti-evolution cause, who argued for the prosecution. On the other was Clarence Darrow, the era's most celebrated defense attorney, who took the case to defend academic freedom and the teaching of science. The trial's most dramatic moment came when Darrow called Bryan himself to the stand as an expert on the Bible and cross-examined him mercilessly on its literal interpretation. Scopes was convicted and fined $100—a verdict later overturned on a technicality—so in the narrow legal sense, the anti-evolution side won.But the significance of Scopes lies elsewhere. It was one of the first trials broadcast live on national radio, a spectacle that turned a local misdemeanor into a referendum on faith, science, education, and the reach of the state into the classroom. It sharpened the enduring constitutional questions—about what government may compel or forbid teachers to teach—that would return decades later in cases like Epperson v. Arkansas, which finally struck down anti-evolution laws under the First Amendment. Scopes is a reminder that some trials matter less for their judgments than for the arguments they force a country to have out loud.The Justice Department has sued Maryland, alleging that the state's sanctuary policies unlawfully obstruct federal immigration enforcement. The suit targets Maryland's Community Trust Act, which limits how state and local officials may cooperate with federal immigration authorities—for example, by declining to honor routine detainer requests to hand people over. The government's core theory is preemption: it argues that under the Supremacy Clause, states can't erect policies that interfere with federal immigration law. Maryland and Attorney General Anthony Brown will counter that states have no obligation to affirmatively help enforce federal law—a principle known as anti-commandeering. This is the twenty-first such suit the administration has filed against sanctuary jurisdictions, part of a coordinated campaign, and it teed up the recurring constitutional question of where federal supremacy ends and a state's right to withhold its own resources begins.DOJ sues Maryland, alleges state policies interfere with immigration crackdown | ReutersProposed rule changes would require greater public disclosure when federal grand juries refuse to indict—an unusually pointed reform prompted by a string of rejected charges. Grand juries almost never decline to indict; the old line is that a prosecutor could get one to “indict a ham sandwich.” Yet over the past year, grand juries in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington rejected charges in politically sensitive cases, including a failed effort to indict six sitting members of Congress. In response, the federal court in Chicago adopted a rule filing a redacted version of the foreperson's rejection form on the public docket, and D.C.'s chief judge ordered that the judiciary be notified whenever a grand jury turns the administration down. Because grand jury proceedings are ordinarily secret, “no true bill” outcomes usually vanish without a trace. The significance is transparency: these measures would let the public see how often the government tries to charge people and fails—turning the grand jury's quiet power to say no into something visible.Proposed rules call for DOJ disclosure when grand juries reject indictments | ReutersThe elite law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is heading into a rare legal-malpractice trial in Florida next week, defending against claims seeking more than $200 million. The case comes from former Patriot National CEO Steven Mariano, who alleges the firm botched its legal work on a corporate stock transaction more than a decade ago; Simpson Thacher denies liability and argues that market forces, not its advice, caused the losses. What makes this notable is simply that it's going to a jury at all. Malpractice claims against top-tier firms are almost always settled quietly or dismissed before trial, because both sides have strong incentives to avoid airing the details of a soured client relationship in open court. A verdict here could ripple outward—shaping how firms handle risk, how professional-liability insurers price transactional work, and how future clients frame malpractice claims against their own lawyers.Simpson Thacher prepares for rare malpractice trial in Florida next week | ReutersAnd finally, President Trump has removed the last sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, the bipartisan federal agency that helps states administer elections. All three commissioners were pushed out at once—the two Democratic members fired by email, the Republican member asked by phone to resign—leaving the four-seat commission entirely empty. That vacancy is the whole point: with no commissioners, the EAC cannot take official action, and because replacements require Senate confirmation, the agency could be sidelined for months heading into the midterms. The EAC isn't a powerhouse—it sets voluntary voting-system guidelines and distributes election funding—but it's a piece of the federal election infrastructure, and emptying it entirely is unprecedented. Voter-advocacy groups and Democratic election officials called the move reckless, and it raises the same structural question running through this week's news: how much a president may reshape or disable the machinery that oversees elections in the run-up to a vote.Trump terminates Election Assistance Commission members | Reuters This is a public episode.

Tax changes may have stolen the headlines, but Australia's property market is increasingly being shaped by immigration, housing supply, and political decisions that investors can't afford to ignore. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Steve Kuper to connect the dots between politics, geopolitics, and property, revealing how government decisions, immigration policy, and global uncertainty are beginning to reshape Australia's housing market. The duo examines the rush of investors scrambling to buy residential property through self-managed super funds before the borrowing ban takes effect, questioning whether urgency is driving sound investment decisions or expensive mistakes. Attention then turns to Canberra, where the fallout from recent tax reforms continues to divide investors, raising fresh questions about housing affordability, fairness, and whether government policy is solving the problem or creating new ones. The discussion also explores Australia's immigration settings, revealing why a growing mismatch between skilled migration and construction labour is adding further pressure to an already constrained housing market. Finally, Tarrant and Kuper look beyond Australia's borders, discussing why geopolitical tensions are no longer just a foreign affairs issue and how global instability could increasingly influence property markets, investor confidence, and the nation's economic outlook.

How can Azure Policies help you? While at Techorama in Belgium, Richard sat down with Barbara Forbes to discuss how Azure Policies have evolved and the techniques sysadmins are using to improve security, cost controls, efficiency, and more. Barbara talks about how the default policies are designed to get folks started in Azure quickly - not necessarily optimally. And there are plenty of policy templates out there, but before you implement them, it's worthwhile to review each policy and ask the question "why?" Keeping good documentation on policies makes it easier to know intent, especially when it comes to changing them - and you'll need to change them! There are a number of ways to apply policies, but in the end, they are just more Infrastructure-as-Code, and so easily repeatable. Azure Policies are there to help you provide freedom with guardrails if you implement them carefully!

#729: The U.S. added 57,000 jobs in June. Economists expected 115,000. Meanwhile, inflation hit a three-year high. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index - the Fed's favorite inflation gauge - jumped 4.1 percent year-over-year. That combination creates a problem. Weak jobs usually push the Fed to cut rates. Hot inflation pushes them to hike. In this First Friday episode, we break down which way the Fed might lean at its September meeting, and why traders see an 80 percent chance rates stay frozen for now. We also dig into Kevin Warsh's debut as Fed Chairman. His first official statement ran only 132 words, one of the shortest in Fed history. He cut forward guidance – the practice of making guesses about what the Fed will do next. He removed the names of dissenting voters. His statement mentioned price stability but skipped maximum employment, and we explain why that omission matters. Central banks around the world moved in the opposite direction. The European Central Bank raised rates for the first time since 2023, responding to a 10.9 percent surge in energy prices. The Bank of Japan hiked rates to their highest level in 31 years. Australia, Norway, Indonesia, the Philippines and Israel joined in. Brazil was the only country to cut rates – down to 14.25 percent. We cover China's consumer spending decline, the first since the pandemic ended, driven by a 16.1 percent drop in auto sales and a real estate crash that drained middle-class wealth.

H2: This segment of The Tara Show discusses U.S. wealth growth, local governance, and criticism of policies regarding illegal immigration. full Here is the complete transcript with the speaker names updated to reflect Tara and her co-host, Lee Rogers: Tara: If anything marked this week, lately, it was the absolute awe of FIFA fans who've never been to America before, coming here largely from Europe— Lee Rogers: Yeah. Tara: —and discovering how we live. 'Cause they didn't know. Lee Rogers: No. Tara: And they were probably like me when I went there in my 20s with my cousins. Took a long road trip through Europe and was shocked at the poverty of the middle class, um, and the way that they lived compared to us. I'd always thought it was roughly equivalent. It's not. Well, this captures kind of what they were seeing. Headline in the Wall Street Journal—this is truly stunning, okay? And this is exactly what Democrats are trying to crush with the Democrat Socialists of America movement. Headline in the Wall Street Journal: "The US added 1,200 new millionaires a day—" Lee Rogers: Mhm. Tara: "—last year." Not last year—a day, last year. 1,200 new millionaires— Lee Rogers: A day. Tara: —a day. Okay. China, how many did, um, you know, how many millionaires are there? Okay, so you look at the United States of America. Let's start with that. Total millionaires in the United States of America—and this is remarkable—23.6 million. Lee Rogers: Mhm. Tara: That's out of 342 million people. Okay, China—what, three, four times bigger?—they've only got 5.2. This is exactly the system, uh, that the Democrats are hoping to embrace. Literally, a lot of it funded by China. I mean, you're—if you want to know what's going on in New York right now with the Commie Corridor, go pull the article by the New York Times—not the New York Post, the New York Times—in which they admit the Chinese Communist Party is now a huge influence on who wins the primaries. Lee Rogers: And you've got these American Democrats allied with them who want to take the property of the millionaires here in this country. Tara: Yes! They—because you shouldn't have it. Lee Rogers: Because you shouldn't have it. But what if you earned it? Well, you still shouldn't have it. Tara: Right! Wall Street Journal writes—I mean, every stat in the story is just mind-blowing. "America knows how to manufacture millionaires. Over 440,000 people, or more than 1,200 a day, became millionaires in the US a year, accounting for nearly half the world's new millionaires." Again, there's only like 342 million of us. It's incredible. Lee Rogers: Mhm. Tara: Why? Because capitalism and free markets work anywhere they're tried. They work anywhere they're tried. Why? Because they work off of human nature. Lee Rogers: Yeah. Tara: Um, more than 23.6 million Americans are now worth seven figures or more. And the US gains have come thanks in large part to surging financial markets. Lee Rogers: Yeah. Tara: Uh, and so, I mean, you know, you're watching this. Just to give you some idea, okay? And this is what these FIFA fans are reacting to. It's kind of a measure. If you look at, um, how many millionaires that we have here in America—okay, 23.6 million. If you combine Germany, the UK, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, you only get 11.5. It's roughly the same population. So here in America, 23.6 million millionaires. You take what is essentially Europe, and you throw in Australia, to get to 11.5 million millionaires. So you can see their, um, you know, the way they live is nothing like the way we live. We are so wealthy comparatively, and that's what they were so shocked about when they came here. Lee Rogers: And it's also the space and the choice that we have in this country, despite the best efforts of many on the left to restrict that. I mean, what I think is so funny is when these Europeans are going to a Buc-ee's and they are just completely mind-blown. Tara: [laughs] Lee Rogers: Because European countries will not allow that to be built. That is the thing. It is not that these countries can't afford these things. They ... 1835 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:15:00 +0000 IHZii50zrB6E5IgMfQB7VeclHNY1X7ZC news The Tara Show news H2: This segment of The Tara Show discusses U.S. wealth growth, local governance, and criticism of policies regarding illegal immigration.
