The modern agricultural system delivers an extraordinary abundance and variety of food at relatively low cost, thanks in part to abundant and affordable energy. Can those benefits be preserved without creating unacceptable exposure to disruption? --- Recent disruptions to food and energy markets have drawn renewed attention to the links between agriculture, energy, and global trade. Fertilizer production, transportation networks, and global supply chains all rely on abundant and affordable energy. Bernhard Dalheimer, an expert on agricultural market shocks and an assistant professor of macroeconomics and trade in Purdue University’s Department of Agricultural Economics, explores how energy shapes modern agriculture through transportation, fertilizer, and biofuels, and how disruptions move through agricultural systems in different ways across regions and economies. He also examines one of the central challenges facing modern agriculture: how to maintain the benefits of highly interconnected agricultural and energy systems while reducing their exposure to disruption. Dalheimer explores the role diversification can play in reducing risk while preserving the benefits that abundant energy and global trade have made possible.

As the Middle East is facing grave uncertainty against the backdrop of what is being called the 'Third Gulf War', Ankara is managing an uneasy relationship with Iran. Turkey is projecting itself as a more consequential regional actor across a variety of regional security spaces and is often described as a 'middle power'. In this episode of Global Security Briefing, Dr Neil Melvin is joined by Dr Burcu Ozcelik, RUSI Senior Research Fellow, to analyse Turkey's relationship with Iran and the main limits of Turkey's regional approach to diplomacy. This episode explores: · How Turkey approaches peacebuilding in the Middle East. · What Turkey's regional role is across different theatres in the Caucasus, Somalia and Iran. · The limits of eastern Mediterranean security architecture that excludes Turkey. · What British and European policymakers should learn from Turkey's approach to diplomacy. This podcast episode is part of a policy series for the 'Turkey's Peacebuilding in a Disordered Middle East' project of the Centre for Applied Turkey Studies (CATS) network. The Centre for Applied Turkey Studies (CATS) at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) in Berlin is funded by Stiftung Mercator and the Federal Foreign Office. CATS is the curator of the CATS Network, an international network of think-tanks and research institutions working on Turkey.

Project 2025 begins not with a candidate, but with a playbook. According to the Heritage Foundation, it is a “Presidential Transition Project” designed to prepare a future conservative administration to, in its words, “take back our government” on day one. Its core text, a nearly 900-page volume titled Mandate for Leadership, lays out a sweeping plan to reshape the federal government agency by agency, from the Justice Department to the Department of Education, and to concentrate power more directly in the presidency.At the heart of the project is personnel. Heritage leaders say their goal is to recruit and train thousands of conservatives ready to serve, insisting that “personnel is policy.” They openly advocate reviving a job category known as Schedule F, which would reclassify tens of thousands of civil servants as political appointees, making it easier to fire career officials and replace them with loyalists. The National Federation of Federal Employees warns this could “destroy the administrative state” by stripping protections from nonpartisan experts and giving a president “full control of the Executive Branch for personal and political gain.”The blueprint also calls for dramatic changes to federal agencies. Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership proposes dismantling the Department of Education entirely, shifting its programs to other departments and leaving states in charge of most education policy. It recommends abolishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and even the Federal Trade Commission, arguing that such regulators have become hostile to business. According to the ACLU's analysis of Project 2025, the plan would curb the independence of the Justice Department and FBI so that both are “directly accountable to the president,” a move that critics say could erode the traditional firewall between law enforcement and politics.On policy, the document pushes for deep cuts to Medicaid, reductions in Medicare, and lower corporate taxes, alongside rolling back environmental regulations to favor fossil fuel production, as summarized by reporting on Project 2025 in major national outlets and by policy watchdog groups. Supporters describe this as unleashing growth and restoring constitutional limits. Opponents, including Democracy Forward and the Center for Progressive Reform, argue the agenda would weaken worker protections, civil rights enforcement, and climate policy, while concentrating power in ways that test constitutional norms.As the 2024 campaign season unfolded, references to Project 2025 became a proxy fight over the future of American governance. Heritage insists it is simply offering a roadmap should a conservative win the White House. Legal scholars, meanwhile, are already gaming out court battles over any attempt to purge civil servants or dismantle long-standing agencies without congressional approval.The next milestones will hinge on who controls the presidency and Congress, and how much of this vision they are willing and able to enact. For now, Project 2025 remains a blueprint—but one detailed enough that listeners can see the outlines of a very different federal government if it ever moves from paper to practice.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Congress Clears $9B in Rescissions Package Cuts; Trump Creates New Roles to Carry Out Policy Agenda | NTD Good Morning

The US President has shifted on Ukraine - criticising Putin and facilitating more weapons for Kyiv. Has the Russian leader miscalculated? On Iran, the US has managed to isolate the regime. Domestically, Trump's opponents are still in disarray. Six months in to his second term, is Donald Trump proving his critics wrong? Or is America heading in a sinister direction? Hosted on Acast.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the Federation of American Scientists held a briefing about how federal policies can bolster resilience to extreme heat at the state and community level. Communities are experiencing hotter, more frequent, and more prolonged periods of record-breaking heat. Not only does extreme heat have immediate public health ramifications (heat-related deaths have more than doubled since 1999), it also exacerbates drought and wildfire risk, harms crops and livestock, and strains energy systems. Together, these impacts cost the United States an estimated $162 billion in 2024.  This briefing highlighted the Federation of American Scientists' 2025 Heat Policy Agenda, which outlines policy considerations for Congress and the Administration to prevent infrastructure damage, economic impacts, and loss of life from heat. Speakers described opportunities to safeguard critical infrastructure such as our energy systems, improve productivity, and improve federal and subnational coordination on heat preparedness, management, and resilience.

In this episode, Matt Perault, Head of AI Policy at a16z, discusses their approach to AI regulation focused on protecting "little tech" startups from regulatory capture that could entrench big tech incumbents. The conversation covers a16z's core principle of regulating harmful AI use rather than the development process, exploring key policy initiatives like the Raise Act and California's SB 813. Perault addresses critical challenges including setting appropriate regulatory thresholds, transparency requirements, and designing dynamic frameworks that balance innovation with safety. The discussion examines both areas of agreement and disagreement within the AI policy landscape, particularly around scaling laws, regulatory timing, and the concentration of AI capabilities.

Reproductive justice is the human right to control our bodies, our sexuality, our gender, our work, and our reproduction.  This right can only be achieved when everyone, especially those most marginalized, have the complete economic, social, and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about their bodies, families and communities. Bridgette Jackson, Director of Public Policy at In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda, Kat Olivera, Director of Government Relations at the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice (NLIRJ), and Fajer Saeed Ebrahim, Senior Policy Manager at the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF), sit down to talk with us about the reproductive justice policy agenda. NAPAWF, NLIRJ, and In Our Own Voice lead the Intersections of Our Lives Collaborative, which developed the comprehensive policy framework for achieving reproductive justice. The agenda is structured around three key pillars: healthy body, healthy families and communities, and healthy democracy. The policies included are focused on accessible sex education, abortion and contraception equity, gender-affirming care, and resistance to the criminalization of bodies. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

This past week, as a show of good faith, Russia returned an American prisoner as peace talks are set to begin between U.S. officials and their Russian counterparts in the coming days. In Israel, a fragile ceasefire was maintained over the weekend as Hamas released Israeli hostages, after President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu gave the terrorist organization an ultimatum to follow the agreed upon deal or face further military action. Montana Congressman and former Secretary of the Interior in the first Trump administration Ryan Zinke (R) joins the Rundown to discuss President Trump's goal to achieve peace in Ukraine and Israel, his thoughts on the work of the DOGE department, and shares details on House Republicans' plan to pass a new budget deal.  President Trump signed the proclamation for American Heart Month, which occurs every February, encouraging people to improve and be aware of their heart health. In the United States heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, so what are the factors that contribute to the deadly illness?

This week on the podcast, we discuss Donald Trump's inauguration and his return to the Oval Office, including his memorandums and executive orders. Joining the conversation is Christopher Sands, Director of the Wilson Center's Canada Institute, a specialist on Canada, US-Canadian relations, and North American economic integration.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Christopher: What is your reaction to President Trump's speech to the business leaders at Davos, specifically his remarks about not needing Canadian lumber, automobiles, or oil and gas? President Trump's inauguration speech mentioned expanding territory; does that mean going to war? The executive order "American First Trade Policy" outlined a process to make trade recommendations by April 1st. However, President Trump also mentioned February 1st as the day tariffs could be imposed on Canada and Mexico. Which date do you expect? How important is it for Canada to increase its military spending? Some of President Trump's executive orders, such as “Unleashing American Energy” and “Declaring a National Energy Emergency,” grant the federal government significant powers—akin to wartime measures—to expedite energy infrastructure development.

Part 2 of our dive into politics, and there's two big asks for cis people who truly want to help. But this might get uncomfortable, because we're going to talk about the way our political system operates in the United States, and that means realizing you can't wait for perfection or moral purity. Trans lives are on the line (as are so many others), and we must protect each other as best we can. And that sometimes means voting for someone you may not like.

On this episode, we are delving into the foreign policy vision of Project 2025 and to what extent it previews what we can expect from a Trump administration. What will the world look like if we reshape our relations with competitors and allies? We discuss what the report says about our relationships with China, Ukraine, Iran, and Mexico. We also address how the culture wars influence foreign policy and explain their so-called fair trade agenda.In our news brief, we cover the Ukraine Kursk Offensive into Russian territory and ponder the lack of Iranian retaliation for the Israeli assassinations of key Hamas and Hezbollah figures in Lebanon and Iran.Topics Discussed in this Episode07:30 - Ukraine Kursk Offensive11:45 - Why hasn't Iran retaliated yet?15:45 - Project 2025: Foreign Policy BreakdownArticles and Resources Mentioned in EpisodeUkraine Kursk OffensiveWhat Ukraine's Kursk incursion means for the war with Russia (WaPo)What the fall of Pokrovsk could mean for Ukraine (Euromaiden)Why hasn't Iran retaliated yet?Iran and Hezbollah vowed revenge against Israel.

*Guest Hosts: Leah Murray & Rusty Cannon After the celebration and hype of the DNC is over, what is the economic policy that Democrats are running on? How do voters feel about it? Kamala Harris is proposing a $5 trillion raise in taxes over the next decade. What could tax hikes and rent caps do to the economy?

There's a lot of excitement and enthusiasm over the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz presidential ticket. But analysts say the good vibes need to be matched by a solid policy platform. Last week, Vice President Harris unveiled a bit of her anticipated economic agenda. The high cost of living is a big voter issue. Other issues, like protecting reproductive rights or a plan to bolster the child tax credit, may sound familiar to Minnesotans. Their strategy seems to draw, at least in part, from the platform the Minnesota DFL campaigned on back in 2023.For more on how DFL policy priorities might scale up to the national level, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked with Minnesota DFL Representative Kaohly Vang Her, who is in her third term representing St. Paul.

Senior political reporter Aaron Blake and congressional reporter Liz Goodwin talk with “Post Reports” co-host Martine Powers about the economic policies that Harris's campaign unveiled Friday, and whether Democrats could win a trifecta in November and make those proposals reality. They also look ahead to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week, where President Joe Biden will address delegates after withdrawing from the race last month.

Growth is good for everyone in an economy, but it is also inherently disruptive. Today on Political Economy, I talk to Glenn Hubbard about why fear of change can trap us in an economic zero-sum game, and how embracing the growing pains of innovation can free us from that scenario, making things better for everybody.Hubbard is a nonresident senior fellow here at AEI, where he writes about a wide range of economic topics, from poverty to international finance. He is the former dean of Columbia Business School, and currently serves as the director of the Jerome A. Chazen Institute for Global Business.

A core element of collective impact is changing systems in the pursuit of equity. Pursuing policy change and advocacy efforts are some of the key levers to effectively change how systems operate. But how can cross-sector partners within a collective impact initiative work together to co-create a policy agenda that addresses inequities and closes disparities?In this discussion we learn how a policy agenda can drive collaborative action and strategy to support collective impact work, how it can communicate where a collaborative stands on issues, what are the challenges in building a collaborative policy agenda (including bringing partners onboard), and how to approach shifts in the political environment.Joining for this discussion to share about their policy agenda work are Maegan Frierson and Dr. Shayla Young from KConnect, a backbone organization that supports a network of public, private, and independent organizations in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

As in the past, the upcoming municipal elections in Turkey are playing a key role in shaping the country's economic policies. While time and resources have been wasted due to Erdogan's political priorities, soaring inflation - which surpassed 67% earlier this year - and the cost of living crisis has made daily life increasingly difficult for most citizens. Wolfango Piccoli, the co-founder of risk analysis company Teneo, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how the upcoming elections are impacting Turkey's economic policies, and whether we should expect a shift in policy from Erdogan following elections.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey inflation rises to 67%, keeping pressure on cenbankTurkey's Simsek Dismisses Post-Election Lira Doom ScenarioErdogan: All Cyprus could have been oursErdogan's comments on Cyprus a blatant distortion of the historical truth, say sourcesFood aid from Cyprus reaches starving people in northern Gaza, says charity

This week, Gov. Kathy Hochul delivered her third State of the State address, focusing on housing proposals and plans to make the state a safer and more affordable place to live by addressing mental health care — especially in young New Yorkers. Her agenda is much more scaled back than in previous years, as the state faces a $4 billion budget gap and state lawmakers seek reelection. NY1's Errol Louis was joined by Nick Reisman, state politics reporter of Politico New York, and Ian Pickus, WAMC radio news director, for a detailed look at the address. They analyzed the governor's focus on crime and public safety, and the notable decision to exclude the migrant crisis from her speech. They also talked about how lawmakers will react to her priorities and how previous administrations have failed to tackle issues like artificial intelligence. And, they discussed Hochul's other initiatives, such as an investment in swimming lessons and improving access to pools.  Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.
