In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Tanner Avery, Policy Director at the Frontier Institute in Montana, about how pro-innovation policies are helping Big Sky Country become a leader in both artificial intelligence and energy development. Avery explains how Montana's new Right to Compute law protects AI and modern computing as forms of free speech—calling them the “modern printing press”—and why that protection is vital for innovation and economic growth. He also dives into Montana's unique opportunity to pair energy abundance with the rise of data centers and AI-driven industries. With low regulation, smart permitting reforms, and a strong culture of freedom, Montana is attracting businesses and tech talent from high-regulation states. Avery and From discuss how AI can augment work, boost labor productivity, and create prosperity without fear or overregulation. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in AI policy, energy innovation, and the future of technology freedom in America.

Over a third of women could face poverty in retirement due to a growing gender gap in private pensions, according to a report from Scottish Widows, with women's finances being hit by caring responsibilities and career gaps. YouGov carried out the reseach for the Scottish Widows annual Women and Retirement Report, asking 4,000 women from across the UK about their pensions and retirement planning, as well as savings, investments and career breaks. Nuala McGovern talks to Lily Megson-Harvey, the Policy Director of retirement finance company My Pension Expert. A third of all rape trials in Wales and England last year were postponed at least once, often on the day of trial, according to a new report published by the charity Rape Crisis England and Wales. Ten years ago in 2015 the figure was one in 10. Their report, Living in Limbo, finds rape and sexual abuse survivors are being retraumatised by the criminal justice system. Nuala is joined by Maxime Rowson, the charity's Head of Policy and Public Affairs. Back in 1995 a call went out looking for women to take part in a landmark scientific study exploring the links between what we eat and our health. Thirty-five thousand middle-aged women signed up to be part of the UK Women's Cohort Study. It went on to look at the impact our diet can have on our risk of developing cancer and other chronic diseases, as well as other areas of women's health from our bones to the menopause. Professor Janet Cade from the University of Leeds joins Nuala to discuss what it was like launching the study 30 years ago and some of its key takeaways for women. Families are calling for a change in the law after they say their babies' dead bodies were kept inappropriately at a funeral director's home. The case highlights a lack of regulation in funeral services in England and Wales. Nuala speaks to Zoe Ward, one of the parents affected, who recently met with Victims Minister Alex Davies Jones to call for new laws, and to Zoe's MP, Mark Sewards. Harriet Lane's new novel, Other People's Fun, explores modern life and the lies we tell others – and ourselves – on social media. It follows an unlikely and uneasy friendship between the unnoticed Ruth and the Instagrammable Sookie. Harriet joins Nuala in the studio to discuss why female friendships and ‘everyday horror' has always intrigued her. Presented by: Nuala McGovern Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Part II of our crossover episode with The Bang-Bang Podcast! Van and Lyle are joined by Sam Ratner, Policy Director at Win Without War, and Andy Facini, Communications Director at the Council on Strategic Risks, to discuss WarGames, John Badham's Cold-War techno-thriller that accidentally foresaw the age of algorithmic warfare. What begins as a teenage prank—Matthew Broderick's David Lightman breaking into what he thinks is a computer game—quickly becomes a meditation on automation, deterrence, and human judgment in systems built to annihilate. Together, the group unpacks how WarGames' “WOPR” supercomputer prefigures today's AI decision-making, where machines learn to “take men out of the loop.” They trace how the film's closing revelation (“The only winning move is not to play”) echoes across four decades of nuclear strategy and modern debates over escalation, autonomy, and control. The conversation ranges from NORAD and machine learning to the moral limits of deterrence, the psychology of Cold-War adolescence, and the comic absurdity of believing one can win an unwinnable game. Like Dr. Strangelove before it, WarGames shows us a military machine that runs on fear, faith, and code, and a civilization learning to live with its own programmed self-destruction.Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.comSubscribe to The Bang-Bang Podcast: https://www.bangbangpod.com/Further ReadingSam's professional pageAndy's professional page“Strategy & Conscience (The Book Review We Need),” by VanTelehack, a retro internet simulator recommended by AndyThe Imagineers of War: The Untold Story of DARPA, by Sharon WeinbergerThe Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America, by Paul N.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to examine how the Department of Justice spends its massive $67 billion budget. From maintaining dozens of little-used SWAT teams across obscure federal agencies to handing out 11,000 grants worth nearly $5 billion a year—many with little accountability—Jeremiah explains how DOJ has grown far beyond its original mission of enforcing federal law. He also reveals how overlapping programs and unclear reporting allow waste and duplication to thrive. The conversation then shifts to one of DOJ's most controversial practices: civil asset forfeiture. Jeremiah outlines how this process allows the government to seize cash, cars, and property from people never even charged with a crime, fueling a slush fund that DOJ frequently raids for discretionary spending. By redirecting this money back to taxpayers and consolidating duplicative programs, Jeremiah and David show how reforms could cut billions without harming public safety. This milestone episode celebrates their Big Ideas for Smaller Government series officially identifying more than $2 trillion in potential federal savings.

Bryce sits down with William Glass, Policy Director of the Millennial Debt Foundation, to unpack the uncomfortable truth about America’s $37 trillion debt crisis and the generational divide fueling it. They discuss how baby boomers’ entitlement programs and voting patterns helped create today’s unsustainable system, why Social Security is essentially a Ponzi scheme, and what reforms are needed before the U.S. economy hits a breaking point. William explains how powerful special interests have weaponized ignorance to keep the system on autopilot, why Congress keeps kicking the can down the road, and what small but vital changes could still save future generations from economic collapse. This candid conversation blends humor, frustration, and hard facts about the debt legacy America can no longer ignore Ready to JOIN THE FIGHT?

In this Big Ideas for Smaller Government episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to expose the wasteful spending and inefficiencies at the General Services Administration (GSA)—the federal agency responsible for managing office buildings, procurement, and travel across the U.S. government. They revisit the infamous $800,000 Las Vegas conference scandal, complete with a $30,000 pool party and a 2,400 sq. ft. hotel suite—paid for by taxpayers. They also uncover the GSA's multi-billion-dollar mismanagement of a long-delayed Department of Homeland Security headquarters and reveal that the federal government is using just 25% of the office space it occupies. David and Jeremiah lay out a plan to save $1.88 billion over the next decade by selling underused federal buildings—many of which are sitting empty—and call on Congress to step up and demand accountability. This episode is a revealing look at how cutting GSA waste is one more step toward saving taxpayers trillions.

A plan's been laid out for potential dental reforms to address New Zealanders' poor oral health. New Zealand Dental Association data shows one in three Kiwis have untreated tooth decay. Its policy roadmap for the next five years includes expanding community water fluoridation, introducing a sugary drink levy, and including oral care into our universal health coverage. Dental Policy Director Robin Whyman told Mike Hosking the big issue with the workforce shortage is distribution. He says that big urban centres, particularly in Auckland, have very good coverage, but in provincial areas there's a much lower number of dentists and as a result, rural New Zealanders can struggle to get access.

Among the points emphasized by the second Trump administration has been a major push for deregulation. President Trump has directed that there must be ten deregulatory actions for every one regulatory one, and put forward Presidential Memoranda and Executive Orders to that end. As some have noted, however, such deregulation can take significant time due to factors like the requirements for notice and comment under the Administrative Procedure Act.Interestingly, an April Presidential Memorandum seems to contemplate that potential hurdle for executive actions directing repeal of regulations contrary to ten specific recent Supreme Court decisions, including without notice and comment “where appropriate.”This panel will seek to discuss the potential impact of this presidential memorandum, when deregulation may happen, incurring a need for notice & comment, and what the Judicial Branch might ultimately determine about the Executive Branch’s efforts to enforce their precedents in this manner.Featuring:John Lewis, Deputy Legal Director, Governing for ImpactJonathan Wolfson, Chief Legal Officer and Policy Director, Cicero Institute(Moderator) Craig E.

What happens when companies prioritize lower cost, non-citizen workers to fill jobs previously held by American citizens? This has happened to millions of American workers in many segments of our labor force, including highly skilled STEM workers. Our complicated visa system allows for loopholes that put hard-working citizens at risk, which impacts our culture, economy, communities, and families across the nation. The H1-B visa is most discussed, but many visa types are being misused to circumvent fair wage and employment practices. Listen as Linda and Rosemary Jenks, Co-Founder and Policy Director at the Immigration Accountability Project, discuss action steps needed to protect the American worker. This issue affects every segment of our society, and is important for employers, employes, students, and retirees.  ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Guest Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director for Americans for Prosperity, joins to discuss big wins with passing of rescission bill, DOGE cuts, federal employee cuts, reconciliation bills, upcoming budget talks, and more.  This week seemed to be one of the most successful weeks of the Trump administration since January.

Major moves with Epstein documents, Obama and Russian Hoax, and more.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, for another installment in the “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series—this time targeting the Internal Revenue Service. Jeremiah breaks down how outdated pandemic-era tax subsidies—expanded under the American Rescue Plan—are still being paid out today, even to higher-income individuals who don't need them. Reverting to the original subsidy rules for the Obamacare marketplace could save taxpayers a staggering $383 billion. The episode also exposes shocking mismanagement inside the IRS, including nearly 3,000 IRS employees who owe back taxes and over $4.7 trillion in untraceable federal spending due to failed accounting practices. Jeremiah explains how simple reforms like the LEDGER Act could bring long-overdue transparency to the Treasury and restore public trust. This is a can't-miss conversation about fiscal responsibility, common sense reforms, and how everyday Americans can play a role in cutting $2 trillion in wasteful government spending.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss how Republicans and Democrats are reacting to President Trump's missile strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, as well as today's retaliatory attack by Tehran on an American base in Doha, Qatar. They also talk about Tuesday's New York Democratic Mayoral Primary, which features a crowded race and ranked choice voting. Anti-Cuomo forces have tried to work the new ranked choice voting system to their favor, and new research from Emerson College Polling predicts that Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani may win over current leader Andrew Cuomo after eight rounds of elimination. Next, Carl Cannon talks to RCP special correspondent Addison Graham from Brussels on the European Union foreign ministers meeting, how they view next steps in the Middle East and Ukraine, and how they see President Trump's role in reshaping U.S. foreign policy. And lastly, Tom Bevan talks to Rachel Hoff, Policy Director of the Reagan Institute about a new survey conducted by the institute on U.S. public attitudes toward Iran, NATO and national security.

Among the points emphasized by the second Trump administration has been a major push for deregulation. President Trump has directed that there must be ten deregulatory actions for every one regulatory one, and put forward Presidential Memoranda and Executive Orders to that end. As some have noted, however, such deregulation can take significant time due to factors like the requirements for notice and comment under the Administrative Procedure Act.Interestingly, an April Presidential Memorandum seems to contemplate that potential hurdle for executive actions directing repeal of regulations contrary to ten specific recent Supreme Court decisions, including without notice and comment “where appropriate.”This panel will seek to discuss the potential impact of this presidential memorandum, when deregulation may happen, incurring a need for notice & comment, and what the Judicial Branch might ultimately determine about the Executive Branch’s efforts to enforce their precedents in this manner.Featuring:John Lewis, Deputy Legal Director, Governing for ImpactJonathan Wolfson, Chief Legal Officer and Policy Director, Cicero Institute(Moderator) Craig E.

In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to take a hard look at spending within the Department of Veterans Affairs—and what reforms are needed to better serve those who served us. Mosteller breaks down how the VA's budget has quadrupled since 2004 even though the veteran population has declined by 30%. From bloated staffing levels to $4 million contracts for services that now cost just $5,000, this episode exposes how wasteful spending is draining resources from veterans and taxpayers alike. The conversation also focuses on one reform with huge potential impact: site-neutral payments. Right now, hospitals owned by large systems can charge the federal government far more than local, independent clinics for providing the exact same services to veterans. This creates perverse incentives, drives up costs, and limits care options. Adopting site-neutral payments would save taxpayers an estimated $14 billion—and give veterans more access to timely, local care. Mosteller also exposes how top VA officials actively discourage use of the Community Care Program, forcing veterans to wait months or drive hours for treatment—while simultaneously helping process healthcare claims for unauthorized migrants. This episode makes one thing clear: reforming the VA isn't about spending less on veterans—it's about spending smarter so veterans get the care they've earned.

In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to discuss how Congress can take bold action to rein in runaway federal agencies, eliminate wasteful spending, and make key regulatory reforms permanent. Jeremiah breaks down why popular executive orders from the previous administration—like those promoting transparency and accountability—won't last unless Congress acts. He explains how legislation such as the Guidance Out of Darkness Act, the REINS Act, and the Reorganizing Government Act can prevent bureaucratic overreach, slash unnecessary regulations, and save taxpayers billions. This episode pulls back the curtain on how hidden guidance documents function as backdoor regulation and how bloated rulemaking fuels agency growth. From shrinking budgets to restoring constitutional authority, Jeremiah outlines what's needed to protect the gains of recent reforms—and why time is running out. If you care about limiting government, cutting waste, and preserving individual liberty, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

An audit revealed $800 million in misspent taxpayer dollars at the Department of Energy—and that's just the beginning. In this episode, Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, joins David From to expose how the agency charged with America's energy future is riddled with waste, inefficiency, and programs that benefit big corporations at your expense. From a federal power-marketing agency selling below-market rates to utilities, to EV subsidies going to companies pulling back on production, the DOE's track record raises serious questions. And with the total potential taxpayer savings in this series now at $549.5 billion, it's clear there's a lot more to cut. Think you've got an idea to reduce government waste?

The federal government has spent nearly $3 billion on electric vehicle infrastructure. So far? Only 214 individual chargers have been built across the entire country. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to unpack how taxpayer dollars are being funneled into inefficient, top-down government programs that promise a cleaner future—but deliver very little. They take a hard look at two major Department of Transportation programs that were supposed to make EV charging more accessible nationwide. Instead, Mosteller reveals how the money has been doled out in lump sums to states, who then hand it over to private companies—regardless of whether there's actual demand for chargers. In one case, chargers are popping up in areas where no one even drives electric vehicles, including rural towns in North Carolina. Meanwhile, billions continue to be allocated without meaningful results or oversight. The episode also dives into other examples of government overreach and inefficiency—from a $2 million grant to train students how to fly drones, to fuel economy regulations that will raise car costs for working Americans. And in perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation, the Department of Transportation still processes federal retirements on paper—stored in filing cabinets inside a limestone mine in Pennsylvania. This is part of the “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series, where David and Jeremiah are working toward a bold goal: identifying $2 trillion in federal spending cuts. If you believe innovation comes from the ground up—not from Washington D.C.—and that government should be accountable for how it spends your money, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, for another deep dive in our “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series. This time, they unpack the U.S. Department of Education—its massive $241.7 billion annual budget, over 4,000 employees, and a growing list of responsibilities that stretch from preschool to post-graduate programs. But here's the twist: Many of the programs you might assume fall under the Department of Education actually don't. For example, the federal Head Start preschool program is run by the Department of Health and Human Services. And even more surprising? The Department of Education has its own disaster recovery unit—despite FEMA already handling emergency response at a national level. David and Jeremiah explore how this kind of duplication across federal agencies leads to confusion, inefficiency, and wasted taxpayer dollars. From overlapping financial literacy programs to higher education policies that funnel students into costly four-year degrees, the episode makes the case for smarter, streamlined approaches that empower students and families—not bureaucracies. They also highlight a common-sense reform that could save the federal government $9.4 billion without cutting services: giving students more flexibility in how they use federal aid for education paths that make the most sense for them. If you've ever wondered why sending your kid to college feels so expensive—or why the federal government seems to do the same job twice—this episode is for you.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created to safeguard air and water quality, but has it gone too far in expanding its reach? In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director for Americans for Prosperity, to expose how the EPA is using taxpayer dollars for programs that go far beyond its core mission. From $600 million in grants just to help groups apply for more funding, to $3 billion allocated for union jobs under the guise of environmental initiatives, the agency's spending raises serious concerns about efficiency and oversight. We also dive into the controversial Green Bank program, the burdensome bureaucracy causing some grant recipients to reject EPA funding altogether, and the duplication of spending across multiple agencies. With the goal of cutting $2 trillion in government waste, this episode highlights real solutions to rein in excessive spending. Plus, find out how you can submit your own ideas to help identify wasteful government programs. Tune in to uncover the truth about how your tax dollars are being spent!
