The concluding sections of AI Valley analyze the shift toward an "accelerationist" political landscape. While the Bidenadministration proposed testing rules for safety, the Trump administration favors rapid development to maintain a competitive edge over China. This environment has led Sam Altman to retract his earlier calls for regulation. Instead, tech companies now advocate for "fair use" policies to train models on copyrighted works without compensating authors. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has also pivoted to "open source" AI to challenge the gatekeeping of Apple and Google. Currently, accelerationists hold the advantage, viewing the trillion-dollar race for AI supremacy as a vital national priority. (8/8)1906 STANFORD

This week Jonathan is in celebratory mode—and no, it's not only because it's the festival of Shavuot, but because his beloved Arsenal finally won the Premier League, sparking a spontaneous tribal gathering of ‘marauding revellers' in North London. Meanwhile, Yonit and Jonathan unpack the volatile situation with Iran, and ask where President Trump's vague threats of a renewed strike are heading. Then, it's wall-to-wall condemnation for National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, whose grotesque 56-second video taunting Gaza flotilla detainees was a nightmare for Israel's defenders especially. And Jonathan describes his visit to the Nova exhibition in London, which offers a powerful, heart-rending glimpse of the human faces of the October 7th massacre and the shocking refusal of much of the world to look directly at what happened on that day. Plus: a musical mensch for the ages.

This podcast episode delves into the pressing issue of voter engagement, emphasizing the critical importance of the upcoming November elections. We assert that this electoral period may be among the most pivotal in American history, given the significant political and social upheavals that have transpired since 2025. We discuss the ramifications of historical events, including the SAVE Act, which has been instrumental in shaping the current political landscape and influencing voter rights and participation. The episode further explores the consequences of political apathy, urging listeners to recognize the value of their votes and the potential risks of complacency in the face of changing governmental policies. As we navigate this discourse, we highlight the necessity for active involvement in the democratic process, reiterating that indifference could lead to the erosion of fundamental rights and liberties.

What does Florence Nightingale have to do with fascism? More than nursing wants to admit. In this episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast, host Amie Archibald-Varley and guest Meg Lambrych, RN tackles one of nursing's most uncomfortable questions: why can't nurses criticize Florence Nightingale? She is nursing's most sacred icon — but what if the "good nurse" myth she built has been grooming nurses to accept obedience, silence, and their own oppression for over a century? Beyond this, what happens when we cannot critize the leaders we put in places of power? This is a conversation about nursing, power, and democracy. It is about lateral violence in healthcare, racism in nursing, and the cult of individualism that keeps nurses isolated, exhausted, and politically powerless. It is about what happens to a democracy when citizens — cannot bring themselves to criticize the leaders and figures they have placed into power. Because the conditions that silence nurses are the same conditions that allow fascism to take root. In this episode you will hear about: Florence Nightingale's legacy and why nursing needs to critically examine its own icons The "good nurse" myth and how it has normalized obedience, self-sacrifice, and silence in healthcare The connection between nursing culture, the cult of individualism, and the rise of fascism Lateral violence and racism in nursing and how they are tools of systemic oppression What happens to democracy when we cannot criticize our leaders Why collective power — not individual heroism — is what changes systems Hope as a discipline: what it means, why it matters, and how nurses can lead the way This episode is for nurses who are exhausted but still showing up. It is for healthcare workers who know something is broken and are ready to name it. It is for anyone watching democracy erode in real time and looking for a way to fight back that goes beyond voting. Because hope is not a feeling. Hope is a discipline. And collective power is the only thing that has ever dismantled oppression.

One Nation has just made history by securing its first-ever federal lower house seat. With Pauline Hanson eyeing the Lodge, the message to Canberra is loud and clear: Australians are fed up.

Today, we’re joined by The New Daily’s Political Editor Amy Remeikis to unpack whether the old 'blue vs red' era of Australian politics is officially over. Plus, we speak with Charlotte Mortlock, founder of Something Better Australia, about her grassroots mission to build a new political force that moves beyond the fringe.

Global Reordering is underway, and this episode breaks down what Trump understands that much of the political class, media, and foreign policy establishment still refuses to see. From Iran and China to energy, socialism, education, and AI, this conversation connects the dots shaping America's future.  In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Dr. Mark Young, host of Blunt Force Truth and author of The 27 Unbreakable Rules, for a wide-ranging conversation on global reordering, the Iran conflict, and the deeper forces reshaping America and the world. The discussion explores how Trump views power, deterrence, China, and the Middle East differently, while also tying foreign policy to America's domestic decline in education, critical thinking, and economic culture.  What You'll Learn Why the Iran conflict is about far more than one country and could reshape the global balance of power  How Trump's worldview on energy, trade, and geopolitical leverage differs from the bipartisan foreign policy establishment  Why socialism, entitlement culture, and institutional decay are weakening America from within  How the collapse in critical thinking and civic knowledge is affecting higher education and the country at large  Why AI could devastate entry-level professional jobs and what that means for the next generation entering the workforce

While almost half of beginning law students say they want to work in public service, by graduation those percentages fall dramatically. Still, the trend is changing: these days more newly-minted lawyers are choosing careers in government and the nonprofit sector, as the ever-shifting political landscape draws an increased number of individuals to consider public service lawyering.  

We discuss with Hrant Mikaelian the expanding war on Iran and what it could mean for the region. We took a close look at the latest IRI poll and its disputed methodology and findings, and the emerging shape of Armenia's parliamentary race. Hrant Mikaelian argued that Iran's leadership transition signals greater resolve rather than collapse, that Azerbaijan is still constrained from direct action against Iran unless the Iranian state seriously weakens, and that the IRI poll raises major methodological and interpretive questions. The discussion then turned to the opposition field in Armenia, where newer forces may have room to grow, but where media imbalance and weak opposition reach remain major structural obstacles.TopicsIran War UpdateIRI Poll ReviewPolitical LandscapeGuestHrant MikaelianHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 521 | Recorded: March 8, 2026https://podcasts.groong.org/521Subscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

FDR'S THIRD TERM AND THE RISE OF AMERICA FIRST Colleague H.W. Brands. H.W. Brands discusses the political landscape of 1940, where FDR maneuvers for an unprecedented third term, which Lindbergh views as a move toward dictatorship.

Brands highlights Roosevelt's mastery of the press, using backgrounders to shape public opinion while privately viewing Lindbergh—and his ability to command an audience—as a significant political obstacle.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership.  In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. Also, Rep Mike Lawler calls in and explains that the Democrat government shutdown was idiotic, aimed at fighting Trump and appeasing their far-left base through political leverage rather than benefiting Americans or addressing healthcare. He argues that Obamacare's affordability relies solely on federal subsidies like enhanced ACA tax credits, which he is open to extending for one year to enable fundamental fixes, as the program has driven up costs over 15 years, destroyed the system through ineffective consolidation, and failed to achieve economies of scale.  Afterward, UC Berkeley student radicals from groups including Students Organizing for Liberation, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Young Democratic Socialists of America organized protests against a Turning Point event. These protesters are anti-Israel, anti-US radicals linked to Soros operations and leftist figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, who seek to overthrow the country rather than engage in civil debate. Finally, we thank all who served in the military, although thanks can never be enough. Veterans are a unique and shrinking breed who deserve appreciation for their sacrifices, with the country owing them a great debt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
