This week's Open Mic guest is Dr. Rob Johansson, Director of Economics and Policy Analysis for the American Sugar Alliance. Johansson says sugar growers are facing the same economic headwinds of high input costs and marginal commodity prices. Growers hope for a new farm bill with updates in crop insurance and marketing loan prices reflective of current market conditions. Johansson says growers still satisfy a majority of domestic sugar demand and support sound science regarding dietary guidance coming from Washington.
In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

Trump's tariff policy is all over the place - Ton, off, then back on again. Markets don't like uncertainty, and Jacob' sister is even texting him about stocks. China? Barely flinching. Europe? Actually getting its act together, with Germany and Poland leading the charge. Meanwhile, Turkey's making moves, the Kurds are recalibrating, and Iran's back in the mix. --Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(00:40) - Sister Index(05:40) - Impact of US Tariffs and Trade Policies(08:46) - Trump Administration's Policy Analysis(14:38) - Lumber Test Case(24:52) - China's Response to US Tariffs(34:18) - Germany's Defense and Fiscal Policies(35:08) - Poland's Military and Political Moves(36:39) - France's Political Climate(38:02) - Europe's Industrial and Manufacturing Strength(40:48) - EU's Strategic Moves and Turkey Relations(46:42) - Italy's Political Dynamics and Starlink Controversy(48:41) - Poland's Geopolitical Strategy(53:50) - Turkey's Position and Regional Developments(01:05:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts--Referenced in the Show:FP article link: https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/07/europe-heavy-industry-trump-us-competition/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapCI Site: cognitive.investmentsSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

At the end of February, 'Food for Europe' was live at the International Agricultural Fair in Paris, with a special broadcast on the new Vision for Agriculture and Food that the European Commission had recently published, and a consideration of what future this new vision points to. This episode is a summary of the debate. The cornerstones of the new vision are to make agriculture attractive again as a profession, to promote the competitiveness of European agriculture, to further expand the protection of natural resources and to re-establish the connection between regional products and consumers. Our guests in Paris were Christophe Hansen, the European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food; Catherine Geslain-Lanéelle, Director of Strategy and Policy Analysis at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture & Rural Development; Dominique Chargé, President of La Coopération agricole, an association of rural cooperatives in France; Quentin Le Guillous, the Secretary General of Jeunes Agriculteurs, a professional association of young farmers; and, from the French Agricultural Academy, Jean-Marie Séronie. This 52nd episode of 'Food for Europe' shows the highlights of the debate, which was broadcast live on Facebook and X, and which you can watch in full on our Youtube page.
In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're breaking down Trump's recent speech to Congress—what he said, what it means, and where we need to see action. I loved everything he said, but as always, words are only half the battle. We need real action, especially when it comes to issues like releasing the Epstein list, addressing RFK Jr.'s recent (shockingly) pro-vaccine articles, and ensuring America First means exactly that—not mass deportations followed by importing Indian slave labor to drive down our wages. Let's not cancel out the success of deporting illegals like that.We also need a firm stand against AI-generated mRNA vaccines, no more IVF, and a more cautious approach when it comes to Elon Musk—because while he's done some great things, blind trust is never the answer. Trump's message was strong, and it resonated, but we need to make sure his policies and actions match up with his words. Let's get into it.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmKa-gHTUmuimP_lcjhKS_Wmg&gclid=CjwKCAiArKW-BhAzEiwAZhWsIImXWe0q_YkcN5hovCt2nNZG3AuF10AS_37cDXSkJ2Xy_bBBkERbchoCREkQAvD_BwE—https://www.amazon.com/Pearls-Memoir-Childhood-Brain-Cancer-ebook/dp/B0D8R8PSK1
In this episode of STRAT, retired Marine Intelligence Officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer discusses the importance of strategic risk assessment in aviation, particularly in light of recent aviation incidents at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. where a regional jet and military helicopter collided over the Potomac River and in Northeast Philadelphia with an air ambulance LearJet. He transitions into the political situation in Venezuela, highlighting the challenges posed by the Maduro regime and the implications of mass migration. The discussion then shifts to the impact of trade tariffs on the economy and the complexities of global trade dynamics, especially concerning U.S.-Latin America relations. Throughout the conversation, Kempfer emphasizes the interconnectedness of these issues and the need for strategic thinking in addressing them.• Importance of strategic risk assessment highlighted by aviation mishaps.• Venezuela's political turmoil affects regional and international stability.• US-Venezuela interactions raise questions about international diplomatic strategies.• Tariff policies signal shifts in US economic and geopolitical strategy.• Economic impacts of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and global trade.• Central and South America's evolving role in US foreign policy.• Border security and immigration reforms shape US domestic and foreign policies.• China's influence on global economic and political dynamics analyzed.#StrategicRiskAssessmentTalk #STRATpodcast #HalKempfer #AviationSafety #AmericanEagleFlight5342 #AmericanAirlinesBlackhawkCrash #VenezuelaUnrest #USForeignPolicy #GlobalTrade #TariffImpacts #BorderSecurity #GeopoliticalAnalysis #RiskMitigation #ImmigrationPolicy #ChinaInfluence #EconomicStrategy #USRelations #AviationIncidents #CentralAmericaPolicy #MexicanTariffs #GlobalEconomics #MilitaryAnalysis #GlobalRisk #PolicyInsights

The fact that students are earning higher grades than ever without any appreciable increase in other assessments of academic ability should be well-known by now. Less understood are the root causes of this increasing phenomenon. Amy and Mike invited researchers Maia Goodman Young and Dan Goldhaber to dig into the data on how grading policies influence grade inflation. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is the purpose of grading? How did state policy around grading in Washington change during the pandemic? What does the research show about changes in grades throughout the pandemic? What is the current connection between grades and test scores? How does weaker rigor in grading influence student interest in academic support? Are there differences in grading in different subjects or socioeconomic status? What other grading policies might impact grade inflation? What can we make of the weaker connection between grades and test scores? Is it bad or good? MEET OUR GUESTS Dr. Maia Goodman Young is a researcher at the Center for Education Data and Research at the University of Washington and an instructor in the UW's secondary teacher education program where she teaches courses in English Language Arts methods and assessment. She is also a National Board Certified Teacher who taught for nine years in California and Washington. Maia's experience as a classroom teacher informs her research, as she worked to better understand questions of grading policies and practices, teacher preparation, and the teacher labor market. Maia can be reached at maiag@uw.edu. Dr. Dan Goldhaber is the Director of the Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER, caldercenter.org) at the American Institutes for Research and the Director of the Center for Education Data & Research (CEDR, cedr.us(link is external)) at the University of Washington. Both CALDER and CEDR are focused on using state administrative data to do research that informs decisions about policy and practice. Dan's work focuses on issues of educational productivity and reform at the K-12 level, the broad array of human capital policies that influence the composition, distribution, and quality of teachers in the workforce, and connections between students' K-12 experiences and postsecondary outcomes. Topics of published work in this area include studies of the stability of value-added measures of teachers, the effects of teacher qualifications and quality on student achievement, and the impact of teacher pay structure and licensure on the teacher labor market. Dan's research has been regularly published in leading peer-reviewed economic and education journals such as: American Economic Review, Journal of Human Resources, Journal of Policy and Management, Economics of Education Review, Education Finance and Policy, and Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis. The findings from these articles have been covered in more widely accessible media outlets such as National Public Radio, the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, and Education Week. Dan previously served as president of the Association for Education Finance and Policy (2006-2017), an elected member of the Alexandria City School Board from 1997-2002, and as co-editor of Education Finance and Policy.

In Part 2 of Flanigan's Eco-Logic - Climate Resolve Series, Ted speaks with Enrique Huerta, Legislative Director at Climate Resolve. Enrique brings strong skills in policy analysis and collaboration-building to the organization, focusing on climate change, adaptation, and resilience to champion equitable climate solutions.He has an undergraduate degree in Urban and Regional Planning and an advanced degree in Regenerative Studies from Cal Poly Pomona. Prior to joining Climate Resolve, Enrique helped pass several County measures and state propositions including Measures M, A and Proposition 68. Enrique also brings a wealth of experience advocating for historically marginalized communities through his work as a community green space organizer. He gained useful analytic tools assessing the interplay between local, regional and state policy while working as a city planner for the City of South Gate. As the Legislative Director at Climate Resolve, Enrique forms strategic partnerships with other statewide organizations, cultivating relationships to move legislation. He is a master of building collaborations, doing the work on the ground, knocking on legislators' doors, often with parties who have different agendae, bringing in potential coalition partners to the state capitol to advocate on behalf of extreme heat and the need to adapt to this rising threat.He and Ted discuss Climate Resolve's extreme heat bill, which is one of the few that actually looks to help marginalized communities adapt today and focuses on societal fixes. Enrique shares how his experience of community organizing opened his eyes to the resilience that lots of these communities have, and how community cohesion is already in place - and often women led.
At the debate tonight, there probably won't be much talk about American education. Which is a shame - at least according to Josh Cowen, author of The Privateers, a new book about how radical conservative billionaires like Betsy De Vos have created a culture war to sell their idea of school vouchers. It's all part of the right-wing Project 2025 vision, Cowen suggests, of collapsing the church-state boundaries and making American public schools mirror the country's inequities and injustices. The alternative, Cowen suggests, is for Federal or State governments to fund these public schools more generously, thereby allowing all Americans to get a fair and decent education. Josh Cowen is a nationally recognized expert and writer on topics related to school choice, teachers and teaching, policy analysis, and education politics. He has studied school vouchers, school accountability, charter schools, and parental decision-making as part of major research teams in Louisiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. His writing on school vouchers, culture wars, and other current events has appeared in major media outlets ranging from Slate to Time Magazine. He speaks and testifies across the country on the dangers of school privatization and is regularly quoted in state and national feature reporting. In addition to his appointment as professor of education policy at Michigan State University, Dr. Cowen has also served as one of five national directors of the National Center for Research on Education Access and Choice (REACH) based at Tulane University. In 2016, he founded the Education Policy Innovation Collaborative (EPIC), a strategic research partnership between Michigan State University and the state of Michigan. He has held a variety of editorial positions for major academic journals, and was co-editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis—the premier education policy journal in the United States. His research has been funded through federal, state and local government contracts, as well as a diverse array of philanthropies such as Arnold Ventures, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Spencer Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation. Josh Cowen holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Master of Public Policy from Georgetown University, and a B.A. in history from the University of Michigan. Before beginning his research and writing career, he worked in CNN's Washington, D.C. Bureau and on staff for the political debate show Crossfire. Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

As students return to school, Pennsylvania is still facing a dire teacher shortage, and experts say there aren't enough qualified candidates to replace everyone who's quit or moved away. We teamed up with City Cast Philly to unpack the problem, causes, and consequences — plus, share our take on a few potential solutions. **This episode originally published August 28, 2023. We always cite our sources: Check out PA's teacher retention data for yourself, courtesy of Penn State's Center for Education Evaluation and Policy Analysis. Chalkbeat did a great two-part breakdown on the problems and potential solutions. The Learning Policy Institute shared suggestions for how to improve teachers' first years. The Hechinger Report wrote about a couple PR campaigns trying to change public opinion about teaching. The Center for Black Educator Development is based in Philly and does a lot of great work around recruiting teachers of color. Ten years ago, it wasn't uncommon to see 3,000 to 4,000 applicants pop up for a single job listing on PA-educator.net, the PA's main jobs board.

Stephen Rowley, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist practicing in Bainbridge Island, Washington. His professional past includes serving as an elementary school teacher and principal, and a school district superintendent in Washington and California. He has been a college professor at three universities, teaching courses in educational administration and organizational theory. He holds a Ph.D. in Administration and Policy Analysis from Stanford University. His new book is: The Lost Coin: A Memoir of Adoption and Destiny (Chiron Publications, Sept. 2023). In our episode Stephen focused on the feelings an adopted person struggles with. In his words: “Imagine there's an orphan who lives within them. The orphan is homeless, restless, disconnected, and searching for something or someone it can't find, including its very soul. For some, the orphan's persistent presence may arise intermittently through feelings and behavior at any stage of life or circumstance. No orphan, however, is beyond redemption. The lost orphan can be found in the shadows and brought to the safety and security of light. Disconnection can be healed by loving reconnection. In our conversation Stephen fleshed out the issues of abandonment with tenderness, insight and compassion.”https://www.pulledbytheroot.com/

NTIA is championing Route Origin Authorizations or ROA's as part of the Biden Administration's cybersecurity plan to fend off nation-state hackers and cyberattacks.In tandem with this effort, on June 6, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) advanced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking aimed at strengthening internet security through the implementation of border gateway protocols (BGPs) for internet service providers (ISPs). While the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) already encourages federal agencies to embrace these routing security protocols, the FCC's proposed rule would mandate broadband providers to submit confidential reports on their BGP usage.This move is an effort to defend against cyber-attacks by validating the legitimacy of websites and securing web traffic, preventing hackers from spoofing government domains, stealing data, and hijacking critical communications.Here to discuss the policy behind this decision, including routing security, BGPs, and efforts to secure government infrastructure, are Grace Abuhamad and Robert (Bob) Cannon. Grace is the chief of staff at the NTIA, where she previously served as a policy analyst in the Office of International Affairs. Bob is a Senior Telecommunications Policy Analyst at the NTIA. Before joining NTIA, he was a Senior Attorney at the FCC's Office of Policy Analysis.
ELIZABETH STELLE JOINS DAWN LIVE! ELIZABETH JOINS DAWN TO SPEAK ON THE STATE OF SCHOOL CHOICE IN THE COMMONWEALTH... LIFELINE SCHOLARSHIPS CATCHING ATTENTION NATIONWIDE - WSJ REPORT BELOW... Wall Street Journal Editorial:A School Choice Revival in PennsylvaniaThe state Senate tees up legislation to provide scholarships. Pennsylvania students trapped in the state's worst-performing schools have another opportunity for scholarships following Gov. Josh Shapiro's reversal of his previous stance and veto of bipartisan budget legislation last year. The Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee, ahead of the 2024–25 budget negotiations in June, advanced Senate Bill 795 to establish Lifeline Scholarships, which refers to the program as the Pennsylvania Award for Student Success (PASS). And, the Wall Street Journal, in a recent editorial, asks, "Will Gov. Josh Shapiro fold again?" The Wall Street Journal writes: The scholarships, worth several thousand dollars each, would let low-income students in poorly performing public schools switch to a private school. The funds—which would have their own appropriation, not taken from public schools—could also be used for “school-related fees” and special education services. Gov. Shapiro's veto message left room to revive them, and he repeated that in his budget address in February. The scholarships are “something I support and consider to be unfinished business” … Polling from the Commonwealth Foundation in March found that 77% of registered voters in Pennsylvania support the scholarships. That includes 94% of black voters and 83% of those with income below $40,000. Pennsylvanians could use more options: In Philadelphia, 34% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts and 15% proficient in math on state tests … Another good sign is a recent failed primary challenge against Democratic Rep. Amen Brown. Last summer Mr. Brown told a radio program, “we have to give our parents another option and leave it in their hands to choose where they want their child to go.” He defeated union-backed challenger Cass Green in April. Time to use your political capital, Gov. Shapiro. Elizabeth Stelle is the Director of Policy Analysis at the Commonwealth Foundation. Elizabeth has researched and written on government reform, health care, welfare, energy, and government transparency. Her work has been featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Patriot-News, Philadelphia Inquirer, and a variety of radio and television programs throughout the commonwealth.

When it comes to reproductive rights that are occupying the attention of the nation and threatening the lives of women, Kara asks the question, “What about the men?” It takes two to tango as we know but men seem to be left out of the conversation. This is why Kara reached out to Men for Choice co-founder Oren Johnson to get his take on things.

The Chosen We: Black Women's Empowerment in Higher Education (SUNY Press, 2023) elevates the oral histories of 105 accomplished, college-educated Black women who earned success despite experiencing reprehensible racist and sexist barriers. The central argument is that these women succeeded in and beyond college by developing a Chosen We—a community with one another. The book builds on their words and insights to offer a powerful rethinking of educational success that moves away from individualistic and competitive models and instead imagines success as a result of recognizing what people owe to one another. It also uncovers the importance of the type of institutions that students attend for higher education, comparing Black women's experiences not only by region and era but also by whether they attended a predominantly White institution (PWI) or a historically Black college or university (HBCU). The Chosen We features theoretical and methodological exemplars for how to conduct research across lines of difference. The Black women's oral histories shared here manifest the wisdom from which many groups in the United States might benefit—that liberation is only found through community. Rachelle Winkle-Wagner is Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the coauthor (with Angela M. Locks) of Diversity and Inclusion on Campus: Supporting Students of Color in College, and the author of The Unchosen We: Black Women and Identity in Higher Education, among other books.

In this episode, Judge Magdalena Cohen, Jennifer Bender, Eric Stopher, Deborah Johnson, and Dr. Stephanie Brooks Holliday talk with students from the UC Riverside School of Public Policy about the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (or CARE) Act and the intersection of mental health and criminal justice in California. Podcast Highlights: “We do what we can to make sure that coming out of an inpatient setting, that person is prioritized, to receive the services that they need, including medication. We have a whole host of outpatient clinics from the city of Riverside all the way to Blythe, and so really we try to work with that individual to provide them with the best of their needs. And it's individualized, whatever it's going to take… to keep that person stable in the community.” - Deborah Johnson on the topic of ensuring that care is provided to individuals beyond hospitalization, helping ease them with their transition. “It's a policy thing that has to be looked at, is how are we going to plan for those housing issues [that are so prevalent in California], not only in Care Courts, but in any other program that the state wants to have the counties look at, and even with LPS. And I think that that's not a problem, but something that Riverside is not unique to, but it's certainly more unique than some of the other larger counties in California.” - Eric Stopher on the topic of how Riverside County is preparing to provide housing amidst a state housing shortage. “Even though there are a range of services available, some of the limiting factors are having enough providers to be able to offer services to everyone who might need [them]. There's a lot of variation from county to county with respect to the resources that are available, meaning that a lot of times it feels like access to mental health services can really be determined by the zip code that you live in.” - Dr. Stephanie Brooks Holliday on the topic of geographic barriers to resources. Guests: Judge Magdalena Cohen (Judge, Riverside Superior Court) Jennifer Bender (Deputy Public Defender, Riverside County Public Defender's Office) Eric Stopher (Deputy County Counsel, County of Riverside ) Deborah Johnson (Director of Innovation/Integration, Riverside University Health System - Behavioral Health) Dr. Stephanie Brooks Holliday (Senior Behavioral Scientist; Professor of Policy Analysis, Pardee RAND Graduate School) Interviewer: Rachel Strausman (UCR Public Policy Major, Dean's Vice Chief Ambassador) LINK YOUTUBE-ANCHOR Music by: C Codainehttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Xylo-Ziko/Minimal_1625https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Xylo-Ziko/PhaseCommercial Links:spp-ikhrata.eventbrite.com bit.ly/spp-ikhratahttps://spp.ucr.edu/ba-mpp https://spp.ucr.edu/mpp This is a production of the UCR School of Public Policy: https://spp.ucr.edu/ Subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss an episode.

On Today's Episode – Mark dives right in with our guest Charles Sauer. They talk similar likes as far as authors go and give the listeners some options for good reads. We move to operating systems for economies. We get a clear definition of capitalism and how it was named by it's enemies, and how it can actually work. We move to TikTok, and the why's and how's of it. Mark goes all PhD. Into the science about how algorithms work and how it is very similar to how slot machines work. Dopamine hits matter, and social media knows it. We wrap things up with a conversation on economics and the Biden budget. Mark and Charles explain how our current economy and budget's truths can be manipulated by politicians and news outlets when they explain things like “we created a bunch of jobs”. https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2024/03/11/contra_tiktok_paranoiacs_national_security_isnt_an_excuse_to_limit_free_speech_1017508.html X - @marketinstitute Charles Sauer – Founder and President Charles Sauer is a seasoned economic policy expert, author, President and Founder of the Market Institute.

We threw out the rulebook in this episode. Today's guest, Victoria Thérèse, is something of a walking library. A wunderkind of sorts. Expect this episode to be a cerebral-spiritual tour de force. We had a massive list of mind-bending topics we originally planned to discuss with Victoria, but we barely touched that list. This might as well be another installment of our Serendipity Sessions series, because we were simply feeling the flow of the natural conversation.
