Bill Gates again addressed his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during a September 27 appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, where he denied ever visiting Epstein's private island and said his contact with Epstein consisted of roughly 10 meetings over a period of a few years. Gates laughed nervously at points while answering questions and insisted that there were never women present during those meetings, that he had no financial relationship with Epstein and that he never visited Epstein's island. He also pointed to his June testimony before the House Oversight Committee, where he called his decision to meet with Epstein a “grave error in judgment” and said he had been drawn in by Epstein's claims that he could help raise large amounts of money for global health initiatives.The renewed questioning came after months of scrutiny over how extensive the relationship actually was. An external review commissioned by the Gates Foundation found roughly 30 meetings between Epstein and foundation leaders and staff, including Gates, between 2011 and 2014, even as employees raised concerns about Epstein's criminal history. Gates has maintained that he never knew about any ongoing criminal activity and that he ultimately cut off contact after concluding Epstein could not deliver the philanthropic connections he had promised. The larger controversy has therefore centered not on an accusation that Gates participated in Epstein's crimes, but on why he continued meeting with a convicted sex offender, how extensive those contacts were and why the relationship persisted despite warnings about Epstein's past.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sasha Talks with Sasha Laghonh Around the World in More Than 80 Days: Faith, Freedom, and Global Perspective with Larry Alex Taunton Author and cultural commentator Larry Alex Taunton joins Sasha Laghonh to talk about his book Around the World in More Than 80 Days, sharing stories from Nigeria to China and warning about growing threats to free speech in America. A Book Sparked By Colin Kaepernick Sasha Laghonh opens the show by introducing Larry Alex Taunton, the American author, columnist and cultural commentator known for appearances on CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera America and the BBC, and for previous books including The Grace Effect and The Faith of Christopher Hitchens. She welcomes him to talk about his newest work, Around the World in More Than 80 Days, and asks how long the project took to complete. Taunton explains that three years of research and travel preceded roughly eight months of actual writing. Asked what prompted him to test whether America still deserves its reputation for greatness, he points to Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback whose kneeling protests and alliance with Nike struck Taunton as symptomatic of a generation ignorant of both its own opportunities and the realities of life elsewhere. He set out, he tells Sasha, to demonstrate both points at once. Mapping A Global Itinerary Sasha asks whether Taunton planned his route or improvised as he assessed each country's climate. He describes a carefully constructed itinerary built around a short list of nations that could plausibly compete for the title of world's greatest country, alongside former Marxist states and African nations grappling with the spread of Islam, chosen to give readers a fuller picture of how most of the world actually lives under some form of authoritarian rule. The project, he says, visited 35 countries in all, though eight were left out of the final book to keep it readable, with 26 countries making the cut. He credits Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days as inspiration for the adventure format, noting that his team used the same variety of transportation Phileas Fogg once did. The result, he says, is meant to entertain while quietly educating readers about the wider world beyond America's borders. Surprises, Middle Class, And Traveling Sons Despite having already visited roughly 40 countries before this trip, Taunton tells Sasha he still encountered surprises, discovering that Donald Trump carries real popularity in non-Islamic parts of Africa and that Americans are unexpectedly well liked in Vietnam. He insists the book is not a blanket celebration of the United States, since the journey also revealed things worth admiring elsewhere. Sasha asks about the American middle class compared with its counterparts abroad, and Taunton argues it remains better off, though he warns that could erode under different tax and economic policy. Two of his three sons, Christopher and Zachary, joined him for portions of the trip, though he kept them away from the most dangerous stops. Zachary documented the journey in video blogs for his own generation, and Taunton says both sons, already well traveled and loving of their country, came home with a deepened appreciation for the United States. Danger In Nigeria And A Denied Visa The conversation turns to risk, and Taunton recounts traveling to Nigeria at the invitation of a bishop to document Christian persecution, citing a figure of roughly 100,000 Christians killed globally each year, mostly by Muslims. He describes being driven six hours through territory patrolled by Fulani herdsmen militia, hidden in a darkened Toyota Sequoia, and visiting villages where families had been murdered or enslaved. He declined an offer of armed security, reasoning it would make him a bigger target, and instead relied on blending in and following local advice, noting that even a concealed handgun would be useless against the AK-47s common in such regions. Sasha asks about visa troubles tied to his profession, and Taunton reveals China denied him entry after he refused to sign a pledge not to write anything negative about the country, though he had already visited Hong Kong seven times during the trip. Warnings About Censorship And The First Amendment Asked whether the First Amendment is being abused, Taunton says he sees Chinese-style censorship taking hold in America, pointing to social media platforms shutting down accounts belonging to the sitting president, his press secretary, and The New York Post. He argues Americans have historically been trusted to weigh distasteful or sensational speech for themselves, and that ceding that judgment to tech companies is dangerous. Pressed on where the First Amendment stands in five years, he predicts the United States is drifting toward the restricted speech norms of Britain, France and Germany, and warns the Second Amendment could face similar erosion if Joe Biden is elected. He places responsibility on a culture that abandoned real dialogue in favor of silencing disagreement, cautioning listeners who cheer today's censorship that the same tools will eventually be turned on them. He also laments widespread ignorance among young Americans about the history and human cost of Marxism. Debates, Future Books, And Where To Find Him Sasha asks about Taunton's history of public debate through his nonprofit, Fixed Point Foundation, which pitted him and colleagues like John Lennox and Dinesh D'Souza against atheists including Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Michael Shermer. He says he now hopes to challenge media figures pushing Marxist ideas, questioning whether they are ignorant of history or simply indifferent to it. Looking ahead, he mentions a novel in progress and early notes toward a dual biography of Karl Marx and the London preacher Charles Spurgeon, contemporaries who never met but competed for the same souls. He advises aspiring writers to skip journalism school, and shares that his adopted daughter's Ukrainian passport once got her turned away in Paris despite his own American passport working fine. Sasha closes by asking listeners to find him at larryalextaunton.com and to seek out Around the World in More Than 80 Days at major retailers.

Jim Jordan has represented Ohio's 4th District since 2006. He hasn't held apublic town hall since 2017. This week I sat down with Joshua Kolasinski, theDemocrat running against him, for a full hour on what he'd actually do inWashington and how he plans to reach voters in a district that isn't close.We got into a total stock trading ban for members of Congress and their spouses,term limits, universal health care versus a public option, property taxes andschool vouchers, data centers taking water and power without leaving much behind,Flock cameras and the Fourth Amendment, and immigration. Springfield sits in the4th District under the new map, so we also talked about the Haitian TPSrevocations, the ankle monitors, and the 20 year old who died in Clark County.Political solutions without political bias.https://www.joshuaforohio.com/ CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome and why the 4th District matters00:58 Joshua Kolasinski introduces himself03:26 Outdoors, Yellowstone, and twelve years out west08:43 Why he decided to run against Jim Jordan14:46 Universal health care and what insurance has become18:39 Public option versus Medicare for All24:38 A total stock trading ban for members of Congress27:32 Term limits and Ohio's office shuffling problem32:05 Jim Jordan has not held a public town hall since 201736:08 His pitch to independents and Republican voters46:12 Property taxes, school vouchers, and public school funding50:50 Data centers, tax breaks, and who pays55:55 Flock cameras and the Fourth Amendment59:59 Springfield, Haitian TPS, and the death of a 20 year old01:08:51 Redistricting and what the new OH-4 map changed01:12:16 Closing and the 30 second pitchABOUT THE GUESTJoshua Kolasinski is the Democratic nominee in Ohio's 4th Congressional District.He is a husband, a father of three, a small business owner, and a Christian. Hegrew up in Toledo, spent twelve years working at ski resorts and national parksout west, and now lives in Delaware, Ohio. He ran unopposed in the May 5Democratic primary. His campaign site is joshuaforohio.com.WHAT WE COVEREDHe says he got in the race after asking his county Democratic chair whetheranyone was running against Jim Jordan and finding out nobody had filed. Hiscentral argument is that the corruption in Washington is not hopeless, and thatbelieving it is hopeless is itself the thing that keeps it in place.On Congress: a total stock trading ban covering members and their spouses, withactual enforcement rather than late disclosure reports nobody reads. Term limitsof two six year terms in the Senate and six two year terms in the House,effective immediately rather than phased in decades from now.On Jim Jordan: no public town hall since 2017, meetings scheduled early in themorning with friendly audiences and announced afterward. Kolasinski pledged apublic in district town hall every quarter if elected, and said he would likeJordan's own supporters to help him press for a public forum on Jordan's hometurf.On health care: he argues insurance has drifted from pooled risk into a forprofit business that uses AI to deny claims. He described a three thousand dollarbill for his son's broken arm with insurance. Pressed on whether he would accepta public option if Medicare for All could not pass, he said it was worthexploring but worried it would be sabotaged by the same interests.On property taxes: fully fund public education at the state and federal level,and stop routing public money to private school vouchers, which he argues forcesdistricts back to levies. He also wants more transparency in how property valuesare being reassessed.On data centers: no more tax breaks without something coming back. Return wateras clean as it was taken, feed energy back into the grid, build on closedindustrial sites rather than working farmland. He is skeptical of Republicansmaking similar promises now, arguing the tax breaks and nondisclosure agreementsare already signed.On Flock cameras: he wants them gone, framing it as a Fourth Amendment questionand pointing to misuse by officers and misreads that could put someone atgunpoint over a bad plate match.On immigration: he argues Haitian TPS holders are being treated indiscriminatelyrather than case by case, and that TPS was a legal status. He talked about the 20year old who died in Clark County as exactly the kind of immigrant the countryshould want to keep.RESOURCESALIVE Podcast Network: https://alivepodcastnetwork.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/purplepoliticalbreakdownDiscord: https://discord.gg/ptPAsZtHC9r/PolicySolutions: https://www.reddit.com/r/policysolutions/Independent Center: https://www.independentcenter.org/Living Room Conversations: https://livingroomconversations.org/Us United: https://www.us-united.org/HeadOn: https://app.headon.ai/CIVICS App: https://www.civicpolitics.com

Julie Buntin joins us to discuss Famous Men, a literary page-turner about a young woman's struggle with power and identity during her college years.This week on Book Gang, we're joined by Julie Buntin, whose new novel Famous Men plunges us into the heart of literary ambition, tangled mentorships, and the shadows that linger from girlhood into adulthood. Through candid storytelling and sharp insight, Julie unpacks the inspiration behind her groundbreaking new work, what drew her to the hallowed halls of campus settings, and how she writes into the gray areas of power and agency.Famous Men traces the story of Will, a young woman shaped by family secrets and the gaze of powerful men. As Will moves from an oppressive childhood to the lure of literary circles and a complicated mentorship with a celebrated older writer, Buntin explores the aftermath of exploitation, the murkiness of agency, and the search for meaning in identity. This novel refuses easy answers and invites readers to reckon with the uncomfortable spaces where self-knowledge is finally forged. For readers who want to hear from a writer who prioritizes craft, this episode is for you!In this week's episode, we discuss:

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/jubilee In this episode, John Jubilee makes the case that almost everything you have been told about hydration is beside the point. His argument is that the water is not the problem, the cell is: that a membrane gets progressively harder to penetrate as you age, that your water and your supplements simply bounce off it, and that until you change the membrane itself, nothing else you do gets in. He arrived at that after a decade of doing everything right, a gallon of water a day and a thousand dollars a month in supplements, and still having high blood pressure and no cartilage left in either knee. You'll hear the question he asked every one of his doctors that none of them could answer, the $11,000 machine he bought in 1997 to answer it himself, and the Energized Health protocol he built out of it. You'll also get the practical layer that costs nothing: the three steps he tells everyone to start with, the balls-of-your-feet walking trick and the soleus study behind it, his case for MSM, and why he refuses to recommend alkaline, structured, or reverse osmosis water. Then it turns personal, into cellular trauma, the ACE study, and why he believes a flawless diet still leaves something unaddressed.

“We might have invented the aliens that we've been looking for.” — Adam Kirsch First he took on the transhumanists. Then the settler-colonialism fanatics. Now Adam Kirsch aims his critical pen at the ultimate crazies — the flying saucer crowd. In We Want to Believe, Kirsch explains how aliens went mainstream and why this once-crackpot conspiracy theory has become a mainstream political and cultural fact. The beauty (if that's the right word) of the subject, Kirsch argues, is that because UFOs don't really exist, the flying saucer rumor mill encapsulates the paranoia of our populist age. Ever since the 2017 New York Times exposé of the Pentagon's secret UFO program, it's an industry that has fed off both the crisis of traditional authority and the suspicion that the people in power know more than they're letting on. Elites, in other words, know nothing and everything. Simultaneously. Maybe, even, they're the aliens themselves (see: Invasion of the Body Snatchers). Underneath this silliness, Kirsch notes, is something more substantial. Perhaps religion itself. Where people once saw miracles or demons, they now see little green-headed creatures packed into flying saucers. In other words, they provide a vocabulary for experiences that we can't explain, as well as a community with which we can share that mystery. So what happens when the aliens finally show up? As I suggested, maybe these transcendental creatures arrived. We've built them ourselves in the form of artificial intelligence. Kirsch agreed, seeing AI as a kind of nonhuman mind that doesn't experience the world as we do. Such a Copernican moment is “very imaginable,” the sceptic concedes. Disclosure Day. Starring Adam Kirsch. Five Takeaways •       A Pure Thought Experiment. The trilogy's logic, completed: three short books on popular ideas, this one distinguished by the fact that its subject doesn't exist — which is precisely its value. UFOs, Kirsch argues, let us think “in a very sort of almost consequence-free way” about who decides what's real, whose authority we trust, and why people need to believe — the defining questions of a populist moment in which vaccines, public health, and yesterday's common sense are all contested. The hinge was 2017: the New York Times's “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money'” exposé revealed the Pentagon's AATIP program, and the paper of record saying the government knows more than it admits took UFOs from niche conspiracy to mainstream issue. Kirsch himself started paying attention — smoke that might lead to fire. “Unfortunately, in the years since then, no fire has been discovered.” What he learned instead: how easy it is to be misled, and what scientific evidence actually is.•       'Oumuamua's Wager. The book's treatment of past guest Avi Loeb is a study in the seduction of credentials: an astrophysicist of unimpeachable standing willing to entertain what colleagues won't — that the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua might have been a broken light sail from an alien probe — “kindles the imagination,” Kirsch's included. But the metal globs from the Pacific floor and the fresh candidates each year breed suspicion, and the standard remains Carl Sagan's: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Loeb's reply reworks Pascal — ‘Oumuamua's wager: believe, because the benefits of an open mind outweigh the cost of being wrong. Kirsch's honesty cuts through: “I would love to believe in UFOs.” Nothing would be more exciting. Which sharpens the genuine scientific conundrum — the space age promised a galaxy teeming with signals and delivered silence: “Why is Earth so important if it should be so unimportant? Where are all the other Earths?”•       The Archetype of Conspiracy. The disclosure paradigm is eighty years old, and it trained us all: the people in power know more than they're letting on, there are secret tapes and files, and the people deserve the truth — a template rehearsed on Roswell long before COVID or the Epstein files. Andrew's gloss: elites, in other words, know nothing and everything — simultaneously. Maybe, even, they're the aliens themselves (see: Invasion of the Body Snatchers). The official history runs from Truman's alarm at the early-fifties Washington flap (if the Soviets can reach our skies, we must know) through the commissions of Ruppelt, J. Allen Hynek, and Edward Condon — whose report closed the file for half a century — to the 2017 AATIP revelation that reopened it, complete with congressional hearings and annual Pentagon reporting requirements. Today's ledger: military pilots keep reporting lights that move impossibly; 95 percent get explained; the unexplained 5 percent “doesn't mean that they're UFOs — it just means there isn't enough information.” Even the vocabulary tells the story: “UFO,” coined in the fifties to sound neutral, absorbed the flying saucer and had to be replaced by “UAP.” Spielberg's Disclosure Day — fan service for believers, by Kirsch's account, and disappointing by Andrew's — monetizes the same secret-truth appeal that made Close Encounters.•       A Religious Impulse. Why do people believe? The scholar D. W. Pasulka's “book encounters” supply Kirsch's answer: someone has an experience they can't understand, reads the UFO literature, and says this is what happened to me — where a medieval villager would have named a miracle, a demon, or a god. Belief provides a vocabulary for the inexplicable and a community to interpret it with; Jacques Vallée, Silicon Valley's resident UFO intellectual, adds the perennialist claim that people have always seen strange things in the sky and that they mark “reality beyond our rational mind.” Science fiction serves the same hunger — Kirsch's own California childhood ran on The Next Generation and Asimov — a sandbox for questions religion once answered: what are humans for, why is mind so out of place in the universe? And the aliens we imagine are always mirrors: Wells's Darwinian indifference (we are their microbes), the Cold War's destroyers and moral guides, and now Musk's Mars — an insurance policy for mind itself against our own extinction. The catch that keeps UFOs at the intersection of science and belief: real aliens must obey physics, interstellar distances forbid the journey, so belief becomes “a big X” — faith that there's physics we haven't found. Even Sagan's Contact, Kirsch notes, resorts to a wormhole. Magic, scientifically dressed.•       The Aliens We Invented. The conversation's destination, via Andrew's suggestion that the aliens have arrived and we built them: “we might have invented the aliens that we've been looking for” — nonhuman minds, freed from biology, that don't experience the world as we do and may transcend or outlive us. What felt like science fiction when The Revolt Against Humanity appeared in 2023 now reads as near-future planning — and the AI lens even revises the search heuristic: perhaps advanced technology isn't skyscrapers in space but something chip-small, too compact to see. Pressed on whether a Copernican moment could leave skeptics — him and Andrew both — with egg on their faces, Kirsch concedes it's “very imaginable,” with the caveat that the loudest AGI claims come from those selling it. The poet's summation: the world not being made to our measure has been...

(Episode 52) The chief executive of the world's largest water company has said Veolia would consider running Britain's water infrastructure if it were taken into public ownership, opening the door to a model in which the state owns the assets but private companies operate them.Asked whether that could mean "nationalise the assets, and Veolia comes in to manage them," Estelle Brachlianoff said: "It could be an option, yes."She described what that could look like in practice: Veolia running drinking water facilities, wastewater treatment plants and network management under contract, as it already does in other countries. What she ruled out was buying Thames Water. Pressed on the commercial opportunity, she said the ownership model was for government to decide.Brachlianoff leads a business with around €45 billion in turnover and 220,000 employees worldwide, including 15,000 in the UK. She says drought and water scarcity cost the British economy more than £1 billion this summer, with two-thirds of the country affected by drought and some areas coming close to rationing.Her warning is that this is not an exceptional summer but the beginning of a pattern. Climate change means shortages will become more frequent and more severe, she argues, and waiting until the next crisis will ultimately cost households and government more.That leads to the question she is repeatedly pressed on: who pays?Britain needs to fix leaks, increase resilience, deal with contaminants including PFAS "forever chemicals" and prepare for rapidly growing demand, while households remain under pressure and the Treasury faces competing calls on public money. Brachlianoff accepts that investment is needed, but argues that the answer is not simply to spend more. It is to spend more intelligently.Instead of digging up and replacing entire stretches of leaking pipe, for example, she advocates using AI to pinpoint the precise sections that are failing. She also points to greater reuse of wastewater, noting that treated wastewater already provides around 75% of irrigation water in Jordan, alongside the possible expansion of desalination.Her claim is that technology and efficiency could allow Britain to make its water system more resilient without water bills increasing as a proportion of household income. But she acknowledges that guarantee becomes much harder if the country waits until the next shortage before acting.For Brachlianoff, water is increasingly a national security issue as much as an environmental one. She points to the Middle East, where desalination plants have appeared on military target lists and some Veolia facilities are now protected by Patriot missile systems. Britain's risks are less dramatic, but the underlying principle is the same: without secure water supplies there is no food production, no industry and no functioning economy.And demand is about to become more complicated.According to Veolia, by 2030, UK data centres are forecast to consume the equivalent of the combined water use of Birmingham and Glasgow. Brachlianoff says tensions between communities and data centres over access to water are already becoming political issues in parts of the United States.Elsewhere, the environmental case becomes more contested. Veolia says it can now destroy PFAS - or "forever chemicals" contaminants to 99.9999%, but the question of who should pay for cleaning up decades of pollution remains unresolved. Brachlianoff says the cost will probably have to be shared between government, industry and consumers.Presenter: Justin Rowlatt Producer: Olie D'Albertanson

Stress and pressure are part of life — but the Apostle Paul, writing from some of the hardest circumstances imaginable, gives us four vivid pictures for facing them in 2 Corinthians 4. Pastor Tag walks through Paul's own words describing his emotional and physical struggles, pairing each hardship with its counterbalance and a striking illustration drawn straight from the ancient world:

“The machines today are like toddlers learning how to walk. They stumble. They're not very good. They make mistakes.” — Anmol Madan One in three American adults are already using AI for health information — with or without their doctors' permission. The machines, in other words, are already seeing us. This will chill some Americans in our summer of luddite discontent. For others, however, like the San Francisco-based medical tech entrepreneur Anmol Madan, the appearance of doctor AI in our lives is mostly good news. In his new book, The Machines Will See You Now, Madan lays out what he calls a “human roadmap” to “autonomous health care.” I'm not entirely sure what he means by “human” in a Blade Runner-style world where machine and man are quickly merging. But by “autonomous,” which I suspect is a euphemism, Madan means artificial intelligence. What worries Madan about our current moment is the broken dialogue over AI. On the one hand, we have tech utopians promising a totally automated healthcare industry. Then we have an anxious establishment struggling to change America's archaic and often dysfunctional medical system. And, of course, American consumers (if that's the right word) who are already using ChatGPT or, more troublingly, TikTok, as their doctor. America spends $4.7 trillion on a healthcare industry which compares poorly with the medical systems of other wealthy countries. Madan's “parallel universe,” he promises, would cost half as much and double access. The machines will see you now. Like it or not, Dr AI is our all-too-human future. Five Takeaways •       One in Three Already Ask the Machines. The KFF poll behind the episode: a third of American adults already use AI for health information, with or without their doctors' blessing — and if they're not asking ChatGPT, they're asking TikTok. Madan's frustration is the broken dialogue between AI exuberance (“we're going to automate healthcare”) and medical anxiety, when the right answer is in between: new technology is no excuse for throwing out the guardrails of medical devices and clinical safety. The stakes are the brutal arithmetic of American medicine — $4.7 trillion spent for the worst outcomes among peer nations — and his “parallel universe”: half the cost, twice the access, delivered by AI systems that are tested, safe, and rigorous. Consumer appetite is already there; the safeguards are not.•       The Waymo Scale for Medicine. The book's organizing framework applies the self-driving industry's levels of autonomy to healthcare. Level zero is today: 99 percent of decisions — diagnosis, treatment, prescription — made by humans. Level one is doctor assistance, already deployed: radiologists who once hauled backpacks of reports now guided by machines to where to focus. Levels two and three ease machines into the lowest-stakes treatment and diagnostic decisions with human review — and the fully autonomous end state, Madan concedes, may never arrive. To Andrew's objection that Waymo's scale ended with the drivers removed, Madan offers the transatlantic pilot: autopilot flies ninety percent of the route, and nobody thinks the pilot doesn't matter. The structure, he argues, is what lets regulators, doctors, and builders finally talk about the same thing.•       Toddlers Learning to Walk. Madan's metaphor for today's medical AI: toddlers — stumbling, error-prone, needing layers of protection, and badly underestimated at their peril and ours. The mistake, he argues, is concluding that because the systems aren't perfect we shouldn't try them at all, when a constrained system is starving for capacity. Pressed by Andrew on what the machines will never do (“toddlers grow up”), his list is candid: human perception — reading body language, assessing the person who walks into the clinic — improves far more slowly than diagnostic reasoning and may never reach human capacity; and the relationships people form with chatbots, loneliness epidemic notwithstanding, have no literature yet showing they produce clinical outcomes like a human therapist's thirty minutes. Plus one asterisk on the machines' famous exam results: we grade them on human benchmarks, and machines fail differently than humans do.•       The Behavior-Change Trillion. Of America's $4.7 trillion, a full trillion is the behavior-change problem — the eating, drinking, smoking, and sitting that no pamphlet has ever fixed. Andrew's objection: nobody needs an MIT degree to know they should exercise, so why would a machine's nagging beat a doctor's? Madan's answer is the space between visits: patients leave the office motivated and fall off within days, and personalized systems — like those he built for tens of millions at his previous companies — learn what actually moves each individual: this one walks more but won't change diet, that one needs the stress addressed first, another needs the language and cultural register matched. Not one-size-fits-all “eat healthy,” but friction removed person by person, programmatically, at a scale no human workforce could staff. Andrew's rejoinder: in an age of ubiquitous AI slop, the exercise reminder may be deleted as exactly that.•       Priceless. On trust, Andrew invoked the neighbors: Slippery Sam Altman, the mistrusted AI giants, and entrepreneurs — RadiantGraph included — getting rich while asking for our bloodwork. Madan's counsel is unexpected caution: in the AI era all data matters, healthcare data most of all, and it belongs on healthcare-specific, HIPAA-bound platforms — not pasted into general chatbots. He concedes San Francisco's mansions-and-homelessness inequity (he advises New York City's Department of Public Health and wants to help at home), but defends the Bay Area as the place where the PC, the iPhone, the web, and now AI actually happened — Jeff Dean announced his next act the morning they recorded. And the bot test: how would he prove he's human? “I'm quite flawed, and I'm often wrong. An AI avatar of Anmol probably wouldn't be as wrong as I sometimes am.” Fittingly priceless — which is what Anmol means in Sanskrit. About the Guest Anmol Madan is a healthcare entrepreneur and computer scientist, and the founder and CEO of RadiantGraph, an AI platform helping health plans and healthcare organizations deliver proactive care. An MIT Media Lab PhD who worked on the first generation of wearables, he founded Ginger, the pioneering AI tele-psychiatry company later acquired by Headspace, and served as Chief Data Scientist at Livongo and as a data and AI executive at Teladoc Health. He advises the New York City Department of Public Health and lives in San Francisco.

Things are getting scrumptious on O Lala! In RVA.

Two doctors testified at the Lindsay Clancy murder trial on Day 9, and both are defendants in wrongful-death lawsuits filed over the deaths of the three Clancy children. That collision is the spine of this episode of Hidden Killers. The state called Dr. Alia Goodheart and Dr. Jennifer Tufts to help prove Lindsay Clancy planned the killings in Duxbury, Massachusetts. What jurors heard cut both ways. Goodheart explained why McLean Hospital sent Clancy home on January 5, 2023: she seemed like a caring mother focused on the future, with support at home and follow-up care booked. Nineteen days later the children were gone. Pressed by defense attorney Kevin Reddington, Goodheart acknowledged she has never treated postpartum psychosis, and Yahoo News reports McLean never pulled Clancy's prior records or ran blood tests during her stay. Then Tufts described where Clancy stood the day before it all ended, in two words said under oath. Tony lays out what the prosecution wanted from this testimony, what the defense actually got, and why the stakes could not fork harder. A conviction means life without parole. A finding of not guilty by reason of a lack of criminal responsibility means a state psychiatric facility. There's also the courtroom fight that opened the day, an accusation about a hot mic, a denial from the district attorney's office, and a judge reminding everyone in the room that the microphones are always on. Tufts is back on the stand August 10 for cross-examination, and Reddington has already shown which prescription he plans to start with.

“Intelligence is 100 percent human. AI is a tool created by humans to distill, digest, and distribute intelligence.” — Keith Teare The working class died this week — at least in Palo Alto. Delivering the eulogy in our regular That Was The Week tech summary is my co-host Keith Teare. “Humans create intelligence,” (whatever that means) the Silicon Valley-based entrepreneur tells us. And so, in our AI age of supposedly abundant intelligence, he pronounces, human knowledge “should not be trapped inside experts, institutions, or companies.” Check your pockets, everyone. Silicon Valley has another freebie for you. With AI, the entrepreneur promises, intelligence is democratized. Everybody gets it. We will all have the intelligence of a Nobel laureate at our fingertips. Even Keith. And so he attacks Daron Acemoglu, the Nobel Prize-winning MIT economist who has called for a “pro-worker AI.” But, for Keith — a council-estate kid from Yorkshire whose lifetime ambition was to evacuate the working class — this is “complete bullshit.” Acemoglu's ideas, he says, are an example of the “fetishization of workers” when, in fact, we should be celebrating the end of the “working class.” What Acemoglu is calling for in his pro-worker AI manifesto is more government planning for today's transition to the AI epoch. But Keith disagrees. So I asked him three times what government should do while AI kills the working (and middle) class. “Allow it to happen,” he finally answers. “A good upheaval.” Good? The former “worker” will lack jobs, wages, healthcare, housing. Even food in an America now eliminating food stamps. No matter. Let them eat intelligence. Five Takeaways •       Humans Create Intelligence. Keith's editorial thesis distinguishes individual intelligence — where experts live, and always will — from the collective sum of everything all humans, living and dead, have ever contributed. That collective stock was once locked in encyclopedias, libraries, and universities; for the first time, AI can aggregate, distill, digest, and distribute it, at a price falling toward everyone. Knowledge, he writes, “should not be trapped inside experts, institutions, or companies” — but note the fine print: experts don't disappear in this democratization. If anything, they get elevated: the expert reading an AI's output about viruses understands it very differently than the rest of us.•       The End of the Age of Heroes? Noah Smith's much-shared essay argues that AI ends the era of the mathematical hero — and that's fine, since most people (truck drivers, financial advisers, executive assistants) never got to be heroes anyway. Keith's rebuttal turns on his central distinction: AI and intelligence are not the same word. There is no evidence, he argues, that AI creates new knowledge — it understands and distributes the existing stock. Innovation still takes individuals, and those individuals now start from a far higher floor, leveled up to everything already known. Heroes don't go away; they multiply. In the world of AI, he suspects, every single teacher becomes one.•       “What Even Is Pro-Worker AI?” The week's main event: Daron Acemoglu — via Yascha Mounk's Persuasion interview and an Atlantic essay, with What Happened to Liberal Democracy out next week — wants AI agencies, grant programs, and public competitions to build “pro-worker AI.” Keith's verdict: “complete bullshit.” The middle-class “fetishization of workers” is paternalistic; the wage is a temporary power relationship between employer and employee; and the end of the working class is precisely the progressive outcome — says the council-estate kid from Yorkshire whose aspiration was not to be working class. Pressed three times on what government should do amid the upheaval, Keith finally answered: “Allow it to happen… a good upheaval.” Though swap workers for people, he conceded, and he'd almost entirely agree — every teacher a hero, even in East Palo Alto.•       Bandwagons and Silences. Regular people are being arrested protesting data centers; Erin Brockovich — a Keen On guest some years back — is assembling class actions; Ezra Klein has begun folding anti-big-tech language into abundance. A politician-led bandwagon, Keith argues, regressive but keyed to genuine local concerns. The stranger fact is the silence on the other side: neither Altman nor Amodei nor Demis Hassabis is making the public case that AI benefits everybody — astonishing, Keith says, and the vacuum Acemoglu is trying to fill. Hassabis himself stepped aside at Google this week — a scientist returning to science as Sergey Brin becomes AI czar — while the Nobel-winning AlphaFold team has been quietly broken up. “Something strange is going on there.”•       A Drama in a Teacup. Is the AI economy real? Ed Zitron's stat — 70 percent of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google's AI revenue comes from OpenAI and Anthropic — is two-thirds right, says Keith, and no problem at all: beneath the concentration, the money comes from some two billion distributed users paying real subscriptions, and the revenues are sustainable. The Aschenbrenner postscript, via Porter Stansberry's post of the week: he bet the chip layer (Samsung, SK Hynix) when the value sat a layer up, got the timing wrong more than the thesis, sold to Citadel at a discount — and kept his Anthropic shares, remaining a multi-billionaire. As for the coming reality check: Anthropic and OpenAI will IPO only when public capital beats private, and SpaceX's wobble from $135 to $108 — through a 20 percent lockup release — counts as no catastrophe. Public markets, Keith reminds us, don't determine the success of the underlying business. About the Co-Host Keith Teare is the publisher of That Was The Week, the essential weekly tech newsletter, and founder and CEO of SignalRank Corporation. A serial entrepreneur — co-founder of, among others, EasyNet and RealNames — he was present at the creation of the UK internet and has spent four decades at the intersection of technology, capital, and ideas. He joins Keen On America every Sunday to make sense of the week in tech. His AI-assisted book in progress is titled Who Owns Intelligence. References: •       That Was The Week — Keith's newsletter, including this week's editorial, “Humans Create Intelligence.”•       Noah Smith — “The End of the Age of Heroes,” on what happens to human ambition when the machines do the math.•       Daron Acemoglu — the Yascha Mounk interview at Persuasion, the Atlantic essay on pro-worker AI, and What Happened to Liberal Democracy, out next week.•       The Financial Times — “Google's AI shakeup boosts Brin as DeepMind's Hassabis steps aside.”•       Ed Zitron — on the 70 percent of hyperscaler AI revenue that flows from OpenAI and Anthropic.•       Porter Stansberry — post of the week, on Leopold Aschenbrenner's losses, Citadel's discount, and the drama in a ...

Senator Ron Wyden called on federal regulators to investigate Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase over their handling of Jeffrey Epstein's financial accounts, alleging that the banks may have failed to identify and report suspicious transactions quickly enough. Wyden's findings followed a four-year investigation drawing on suspicious activity reports, court records, lawsuits and information obtained from the Treasury Department and financial institutions. His report alleged that Bank of America failed to properly screen and report roughly $170 million in payments to Epstein, while Deutsche Bank allegedly delayed reporting more than $250 million in suspicious wire transfers, including payments to women in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe.Wyden also accused JPMorgan of delaying reports concerning more than $1 billion in Epstein-linked transfers, including payments involving women in Russia and Belarus. JPMorgan rejected that allegation, saying it had flagged suspicious activity as early as 2002 and continued reporting concerns even after ending its relationship with Epstein in 2013. Bank of America denied facilitating wrongdoing, while Deutsche Bank expressed regret over its historical relationship with Epstein and said it had cooperated with regulators and strengthened its controls. Reuters noted that it had not independently verified the details of Wyden's report, while the Treasury Department declined to say whether any investigation was underway.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsourceUS Senator Wyden urges regulators to probe Wall Street banks over Epstein accounts | ReutersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

This week, Art Hounds is devoted to the Minnesota Fringe Festival. More than 100 individual plays will run on stages across Minneapolis Thursday through August. Fringe is the largest non-juried theater festival in the U.S.; amateur and professional theater makers alike pitch shows that are chosen by lottery. Each show must be fewer than 60 minutes, and there are up to seven slots a day for shows to run. For many, it's the wild diversity of shows itself that is the draw. Performances this year span from musicals to improv, dance to clowning, one-person shows to full casts. Most performers are local, but there are visiting performers who travel to Minnesota to take part. Each show runs five times throughout the 12-day period. Interested in going? There are ticketing options for single shows as well as a range of multi-show options. Check out the shows and ticketing options on the Minnesota Fringe website. For those attending with families, each show page includes recommended minimum ages and content warnings. And while it's hard to select just one or even a few shows to highlight, we asked Art Hounds to do just that. Tech: What could go wrong? Actor Taj Ruler recommends the improv comedy show, Tech. Set on the night before an opening Fringe show, anything can and will go wrong in this ensemble led by Mike Fotus at Strike Theater. "I'm excited because I think it is a stellar cast of improvisers, the best in the Twin Cities. So I think you're in for a good time, and it'll be different every time for the five shows that they have." Watership Down: An authorized musical based on the classic novel Actor and writer Isabella Dunsieth is looking forward to seeing "Watership Down." The musical is based on the 1972 novel by Richard Adams; Rachel Ropella and Timothy Kelly worked with Adams' estate as they adapted it for the stage. Bee Davis of Minneapolis wrote the music and lyrics. The novel tells the story of a band of rabbits on a perilous journey to find a new home. This show by Melancholics Anonymous runs at the Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre. "I can't wait to see what they do with this. 'Watership Down' with Melancholics Anonymous is a little something different for that company. Typically, they're doing silly tongue-in-cheek coming-of-age type stories. Last year at Fringe, they did Joan of Arc for Miss Teen USA, which was, you know, very funny, but also really grounded in community and girlhood and caring for others. It was very beautiful. I feel like Watership Down is maybe a little darker for melancholics, and so I'm very interested to see how they make that tonal shift." And three more ... Sarra Beckham-Chasnoff and her wife treat the Fringe as a staycation, taking time off work to see a show in every time slot over the next 12 days. Pressed to name a few shows she particularly wanted to see, she cited "Watership Down" and "Tech," as well as these: Bay Creek by the Miller Company, written and performed by Derek Lee Miller, at the Barbara Barker Center for Dance "I've seen this show performed at another fringe festival and at the Twin Cities Horror Festival, and in my mind, I forget that he's the only person on stage. It's creepy and well-acted, written beautifully, and has some surprises in it." A Confluence of Magical Arseholes by the Winding Sheet Outfit, at Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre. "Winding Sheet Outfit have always done beautiful productions that really highlight why coming to a theater is so much different than going to a movie or listening to music. They often have music in their performances. Their presentations are beautiful, and I always come away feeling moved and learning something new. It appears that this one may be more comedic, and I'm really excited to see how they weave comedy into their shows." Leave Room for Jesus by Hannah Wydeven, at Barbara Barker Center for Dance "It's an improvised comedy musical where Hannah Wydeven takes on the role of a pastor who believes that she is very charismatic and does a revival. Her hang-ups become very clear early in the show, and she, of course, uses some information that she gets from the audience. It's just a wild romp."

With the largest population of public school students in the country, and an even larger workforce, California has a lot riding on educating its future workers. Pressed by economic and technological shifts and facing enrollment declines, how will the state think outside the box—employing non-traditional learning approaches to remain competitive? Will this mean reimagining the state's mission to provide quality public higher education, or devising new ways to leverage “cradle-to-career” data to drive student and worker success? Will AI be student, teacher, or aide in our classrooms? And how will regions like the Inland Empire forge strong career pathways for future workers who want to join booming healthcare, manufacturing, and green technology sectors? Health workforce manager Vicky Bocanegra, higher education and workforce policy leader Su Jin Jez, and Growing Inland Achievement president and CEO Ashish Vaidya discuss how best to prepare California's students for the big, bright world ahead. Moderated by Adam Echelman (Higher Education and Workforce Reporter, CalMatters) Co-presented by Zócalo Public Square and Inland Empire Community Foundation, in partnership with California Humanities, with generous support from The James Irvine Foundation. This program is part of Zócalo's series “What Connects California?,” marking the 175th anniversary of California's statehood.

Ken and Anthony welcome Daniel Oyefusi to break down the Browns' crowded quarterback competition, with Oyefusi noting Dillon Gabriel has looked sharp but mostly against second and third stringers, while Shedeur Sanders has been the most consistent at taking care of the ball and pushing it downfield. Pressed on who he'd start in a must-win game right now, Oyefusi picks Shedeur, citing Deshaun Watson's slower processing and hesitation, though he flags a rough situational-drill rep from Shedeur alongside a sharp two-minute-drill touchdown as proof it's still early. The three also touch on the still-gelling offensive line with five new starters and rave about rookie receiver Denzel Boston's strong start to camp.

Jay Clayton, questioned by Jon Ossoff and then Mark Warner, gets as close as any Trump nominee has to acknowledging 2020, allowing that Biden won the Electoral College and that Congress certified it, while still avoiding the popular vote.

Pressed on the roughly $1.8 billion settlement fund, Blanche did not reassure him, and Cornyn told CNN's Manu Raju he is truly undecided, with Thom Tillis wanting the fund fully dead. On an 11-10 Judiciary Committee, one Republican no vote ends it. Hawk also covers the judge who called the underlying case a fraud on the court.
