Tara and Lee break down the hidden forces driving America's recent blue-collar wage surge—revealing how Trump's immigration enforcement and economic reforms are restoring fairness in the labor market. They highlight how illegal immigration was long used by elites to suppress wages, avoid taxes, and prop up Wall Street profits—all at the expense of American workers. With nearly a million illegals self-deporting and the market readjusting, real wages are rising for the first time in decades. Plus, they expose the irony of China-backed protests on U.S. soil and the growing alignment between the Chinese Communist Party and American elites. A must-hear episode on economic justice, national sovereignty, and the long-overdue reckoning with globalist policy failures.

Episode Overview In this episode, recorded live at the ACORE Finance Forum in NYC, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Ray Long, President & CEO of ACORE. They discuss the evolving clean energy finance landscape, grid permitting challenges, policy battles around the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the exponential demand for power driven by AI and electrification. Ray also shares the history and mission of ACORE—from its origins connecting Wall Street to developers in 2001, to its current role as a leading voice in renewable energy policy and finance. Key Themes & Takeaways Explosive Growth in Power Demand U.S. energy demand remained flat for decades—but is now rising due to: AI and cloud computing Electrification of buildings and manufacturing EV charging infrastructure Urgent need for scalable solutions—wind, solar, storage, and natural gas are critical in the next 5–10 years IRA Threatened by Tax Bill “Big Beautiful Bill” proposes eliminating key tax incentives from the IRA Would undermine progress and financing certainty across clean energy markets Industry needs a thoughtful, phased approach, not abrupt disruption Permitting & Interconnection Bottlenecks Interconnection Crisis Major ISOs like PJM are overwhelmed—some developers face 7+ year delays Load centers like Virginia see 100+ data center projects awaiting connection ACORE's Macro Grid Initiative pushes for regulatory fixes and grid modernization Bipartisan Momentum & Strategy ACORE promotes an “all of the above” strategy—recognizing solar, wind, storage, natural gas, and emerging tech Urges policymakers to emulate China's aggressive infrastructure and energy approach Emphasizes renewables as a national competitiveness issue—not just environmental Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy and he is also an advisor for several solar startup companies.  He has extensive project origination, development, and financial experience in the renewable energy industry and in the environmental commodities market.   This includes initial site evaluation, permitting, financing, sourcing equipment, and negotiating the long-term energy and environmental commodities off-take agreements.

In the next episode of the Energy Connects podcast, Chiranjib Sengupta sat down with Claudio Golino, Partner at Deloitte, to discuss the critical role of utilities in decarbonisation and shaping the energy transition. Claudio explained how electricity is becoming an increasingly major part of the energy mix, and the key forces of change shaping the energy value chain: decentralisation, democratisation and digitisation. He also discussed Deloitte's perspective on how the energy transition is evolving across the different parts of the power value chain, the dynamics of rising power demand and its influence on the strategies of utilities, and the way forward for energy companies to navigate this complex and fast-evolving landscape.

Volvo's current XC90 launched almost a decade ago and was a pivotal piece of the brand's U.S. offerings. Unsurprisingly, the large, three-row crossover performed well for Volvo over the last decade. Despite the brand's pivot into electric vehicles, Volvo has given the second-generation XC90 another facelift to keep it relevant to customers. This extensive overhaul swaps sheet metal and interior pieces to give the XC90's relatively old bones a new, albeit familiar, look. Powering the updated XC90 is the same array of hybrid powertrains, with the B5 and B6 models opting for the mild-hybrid-assisted 2.0-liter I4 that generates 247 hp and 295 hp, respectively. Topping the chart is the plug-in hybrid T8 variant, that throws 455 hp to the wheels.On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren and Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy put the 2025 Volvo XC90 T8 through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the updated Volvo XC90 and highlights some of the new design elements and features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Murphy about their experiences in different versions of the updated XC90, how the refreshed Volvo is performing in the marketplace, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Volvo XC90 special.

This week Jim's guest on The CMO Podcast is Carrie Palin, the SVP and Chief Marketing Officer of Cisco, the $55 billion by revenue tech leader, whose purpose is to leverage technology, people, and broader networks to solve society's greatest challenges. Cisco is on quite a roll–its stock is up about 40% in the last year. Carrie never took a marketing class in school, and never even imagined she would be a top tech B2B marketer, let alone the CMO of one of the world's great companies. But serendipity happened, and Carrie said yes to IBM coming out of TCU, and began a tech marketing career that took her to Dell, Box, Splunk, and now Cisco. Carrie has had a remarkable run in her four years as Cisco's CMO, which we will talk about.

Mazda launched the current generation CX-5 in 2016. Over the last decade, Mazda has given the CX-5 some updates, but Mazda's biggest mover hasn't seen a massive generational shift. Even though Mazda has stretched its second-gen CX-5's underpinnings for almost a decade, it's still Mazda's anchor in the hotly contested compact crossover space. Without any major changeups for 2025, the CX-5's powertrains shouldn't be a huge surprise. Powering the CX-5 is either a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four or a turbocharged 2.5-liter I4. Both powertrains shuffle their respective ponies through a six-speed automatic transmission. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the '25 CX-5 and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the Mazda CX-5, the competitive set, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Mazda CX-5 special.

High-energy laser (HEL) systems are emerging as a pivotal layer in modern air defence strategies. As threats grow more agile, diverse and frequent – from swarming UAVs to short-range rockets – militaries are increasingly turning to cost-effective, sustainable methods of interception. HEL technology now offers high-capacity, low-cost engagement options that enhance traditional defences and reduce dependence on finite missile inventories.Among the companies advancing this capability is Rafael, which has made HEL systems a key strategic focus within its broader layered defence portfolio.In this first episode of a two-part special series, we talk with Gideon Weiss, Rafael's vice president of business development and marketing, and Dr R, a Senior Systems Engineer in laser systems in Rafael's Land and Naval Systems Division.

"The problem is way bigger than people think… scams are now so good, even cybersecurity professionals fall for them." — Dmitri Vellikok, VP of Embedded Security, F-Secure In this compelling Technology Reseller News podcast, publisher Doug Green speaks with Dmitri Vellikok, Vice President of Embedded Security at F-Secure, about the urgent need for cybersecurity resilience in an AI-driven threat landscape. With nearly four decades of experience in digital protection and a long-standing, behind-the-scenes role powering cybersecurity for major telcos, F-Secure is stepping up efforts to help service providers build networks that are not only secure—but resilient. Dmitri Vellikok The conversation dives deep into how AI is a double-edged sword: enabling advanced threat detection, but also fueling a new generation of sophisticated scams that are increasingly difficult to identify. Vellikok discusses findings from F-Secure's recent global consumer security survey, which revealed that while 70% of users believe they can spot a scam, 43% have actually fallen victim—highlighting the growing disconnect between confidence and reality in the digital age. Vellikok emphasizes the critical role telecom operators can play in defending users. With access to rich behavioral and traffic data, service providers are uniquely positioned to identify and prevent threats in real time—especially as AI enables more targeted and scalable attacks. He outlines how F-Secure is working to empower these providers with predictive cybersecurity tools, including the concept of a “threat score” that can alert users when they're most at risk. Importantly, the podcast also addresses the balance between robust security and seamless user experience. Consumers, Vellikok notes, don't want tutorials or pop-ups—they just want problems to quietly go away. This insight is guiding F-Secure's approach to embedded protection that works silently and effectively behind the scenes. As 5G continues to roll out globally, the conversation ends on an optimistic note: this new architecture not only enhances connectivity but offers new opportunities for layered, real-time security solutions tailored to tomorrow's threats.

The best album pins stand out on their own. They appeal to more than just your fans. It is simple, bold, and visually engaging.

Toyota's 4Runner has built a legacy on its off-road chops, and its off-road aesthetic. You're just as likely to see a 4Runner running through a trail as you are handling the tough task of school pickup duty. However, with the fifth-generation 4Runner launching all the way back in 2009, there was only so much the Toyota could do to keep it updated enough to please the soft-road enthusiasts. Well, Toyota fixed that by rolling out the sixth-gen 4Runner for the 2025 model year and bringing some serious quality-of-life updates – for a cost. The '25 4Runner packs the modern Toyota interior, which comes with a large touchscreen and plenty of tech. Toyota also stuffed its i-Force Max hybrid powertrain under the hoods, which blends a turbocharged 2.4-liter I4 with a hybrid system to net 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Powering base-model 4Runners is a turbocharged 2.4-liter I4 without the hybrid help that makes 278 hp and 317 lb-ft. Both powertrains work through an eight-speed transmission. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the latest 4Runner and highlights some of the changes and his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Patrick Carone about the 4Runner, how it compares to the latest Toyota Landcruiser, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 4Runner special.
